What the Heck?Posted Friday, August 28, 2009, at 9:24 PM
So easy a caveman could do it?
So, here it goes. The WECRD just introduced their new, $467,487.00 budget for 2009-2010. This is interesting because they have reported to have entered into some sort of working relationship with the YMCA and have further reported that ALL building plans are on hold pending the results of the CLDC and the YMCA. Well, I have read the new budget and reviewed the YMCA/WECRD contract. I have to question why the WECRD needs $213,487.00 for a "Land Development/Building Fund" when there will be no building---according to the WECRD anyway. There are costs for the WECRD to "consult" with the YMCA and there should be! This is at least the second or third time the WECRD has "consulted" with the YMCA on this proposed facility. The WECRD/YMCA contract contains a list of costs which is GREATLY less than the $467,487.00 budgeted by the WECRD for 2009/2010. So, what is really going on here? When a person uses "Mollienomics" 2 + 2 does not add up to 4. Why is this? In the August 19, 2009 MHN, section B page 2, it is stated that "WECRD Plans $27,000.00 Budget Hike." Why is there a budget hike, when in theory, the WECRD is supposed to have their hands (all 6 of them) tied? They are supposed to allow the YMCA process to work. Does that process work better with a $467,487.00 projected budget for a plan that is stated to be on hold? The YMCA has fixed costs for consulting and travel and have stated what they believe the process will cost. The YMCA has provided costs for the surveys and reports that will be done. While they are approximate only, they do not even come close to nearly $500,000.00! So, what is really going on here? Well, here is the "Tracy Theory." I believe that the WECRD has gone down the YMCA road to buy them some time. They hope that this "partnership" with the YMCA will change public opinion---at least for a while. They are not acting in good faith! This is all an attempt to buy more time and raise more money because the facility cannot be built for $67.00 per SF. So, the WECRD will play the YMCA game for a while and then cancel the contract. Mollie cannot and will not be told what to do---she has come too far. The mayor of Caldwell was nice enough to come to MH and speak to a group of us about the YMCA and how much it has helped Caldwell. I cannot say that a YMCA is not a great idea/concept for MH. We need something! However, there are some MAJOR differences between MH and Caldwell. First. Caldwell is not taxed through property taxes for their YMCA. The people who use the facility pay for the facility. In other words, there are not property taxes on top of "membership" fees. Second, Caldwell does not have a "recreation district" they just have the YMCA. So, they do not have 3 people with their hands in the cookie jar in a battle for "control." The WECRD only complicates things for us. Third, Caldwell has a lot more people and a much larger tax base to pull from. Last but not least, Caldwell was able to raise a lot of money through donations from corporate sponsors which helped greatly to offset costs for the facility. MH does not have that ability and it has been proven. Simplot gave 1 million dollars to the Caldwell project. Simplot has refused to give money, to date, for the WECRD (this is stated in the HUD documents and other documents). So, our facility will be built from a very small amount of "donations." Most of the funding for our project will come from taxes and appropriations (which are also taxes but that is another story for another day). YMCA memberships for a family can run $700-$800.00. This is a bit more than the projected $480.00 (family with military "discount") projected by the WECRD in their "plans." Who can afford this? If the passes are not sold taxes will have to go up to run this facility and there is no way around that regardles off what we may be told. If you build it, it must be maintained right? So, I have many questions. Why is a budget so large for a poject that has just started and is pretty much at square one and under the control of the YMCA? The YMCA has provided fixed costs that do not even come close to what the WECRD has asked for in their budget. So, how long before this YMCA thing falls apart and the 3 stooges go off on their own again (because history does indeed repeat itself)? Why is there not one single line item (dollar figure) dedicated to recreation in this budget? This is a recreation district (or so we are told) that does not support any recreation projects within this community. Why is that? Then, when the WECRD is asked for a donation for recreation or recreation projects, they say no. Why is that? It would seem that a recreation district should give money to local, community recreation projects. The WECRD asks the community for support but refuses to support the community unless they get good PR and a front page story out of the deal. What is the problem? Not to leave anything out here. Mollie wants new furniture for the WECRD office because what they have is "old." Does the stuff function? Yes. Why purchase new furniture (desks, file cabinets, chairs, etc.) if in a few years you plan to be in a new building where the YMCA will want everything to match (so it is not once again a hodgepodge of "old" things)? This is a HUGE waste of taxpayer money. Why not live with what you have and invest in the computers, copier and printers and leave the interior design until after the CLDC and YMCA have issued their findings? Makes more sense to me UNLESS you have your own plan which is what I believe to be the case. You three have an agenda and it is NOT to see this plan through with the YMCA and that is clear from your budget as well as your other, collective, actions. So, to close. Your office (the WECRD office) has stated that we do not have the signatures required to put this to a vote. Well, I am here to report that we do. When the "naysayers" started this we obtained the list of voters from the election office. We plan to obtain signatures at the budget hearing on August 26, 2009 and also at AFAD. The petition will then be turned in to the election office as required by law. We have reviewed our signatures and only had 4% that will not qualify to date. I suggest you folks gear up for a fight because the voters will now have their say with no time limits. If the WECRD would have been honest (past, present and future) this entire thing could have been avoided. So, I ask one last time for ALL of you to resign in an effort to save this project. All three of you state this is a community project and is very important to this community but it is really all about what the three of you want and think the community wants and will support. So, I ask yet again that all three of you RESIGN to save this community project. Five, new people can be put in charge in an effort to get this project back on track. All three of you are tainted and this project needs a clean start. PLEASE RESIGN TO SAVE THIS PROJECT!! PLEASE RESIGN! Make things right for this community so that we can all come together and make this work. Without the support of the entire community, this will fail and with the current WECRD Board, people will NEVER believe in the plan. PLEASE RESIGN. Please do the right thing to give this a chance. Please allow the YMCA process to work with new people. PLEASE RESIGN!!!!!! Comments Showing most recent comments first [Show in chronological order instead] |

When Taxpayers And Government Have Different "Ideals"...
What the Heck?
For A Dear Friend On The Loss Of A Pet
"Mollienomics" And YOUR Tax Dollars
|
Midea, nice to see you support the "be respectful" side. So you, only support it when the remarks are being made against the person you like...right?
So, that behavior for OM and cronies -yourself included - is excused and okay. The rest of us who dare to disagree or behave in kind or even start rudeness should be held accountable but NOT OM or you or your cronies.
yeah, got your mentality down... thanks. different rules and standards for your group! humm and I've been the one accused of nazi mentality... lol
midea, find her past post where she brags about calling a board member "at night" and disrupting her at home. I will take back the use of the words "late at" to help. But no, your won't because then your defense of her behavior won't work. Also all the other statements she has made reveling in her actions to cause the board members personal problems as well as board problems.
I'll go look for it.
I like the way all of you will defend OM, while condemning anyone who challenges her for her words. Good for you.
However, if any person works to hold others up to a certain standard then they should be prepared to be held to that same standard.
It seems to me that certain commenters on this site don't want OM to be held to that same standard... too bad. She has made the same error in judgment with her words and actions that the board members have in dealing with her.
As to the WECRD issue -IMHO, it is time to STAY TO THE FACTS and leave the PERSONAL VILE ATTACKS out of it. do you think your OM is capable of that? I don't. Time will tell.
If the facts do support your position then there should be no need to put your own 'personal attack' stamp on them to sway others... should there? or do you continue to treat this society, as a whole, of being incapable of understanding the facts for themselves? AND PLEASE, tell how this statement is wrong!!!!!!
WAYL,
The 2 statements made by OM.
"As far as me calling the WECRD Board Members at home...I did that 1 time and left her a message.... -- Posted by OpinionMissy on Tue, Sep 1, 2009, at 8:57 PM" [posted in banter box]
"I have NEVER called a board member late at night as was stated... -- Posted by OpinionMissy on Wed, Sep 2, 2009, at 10:28 AM"
Your reply:
OM, contradicting statements here! You a: either "NEVER" called them or b: called them 1 time. Which is it? And when you change your statements from one post to the next, HOW is anything you put out to be believed? This is only one example, I can and have produced more.
This is just another example of your doubtful integrity. Change the story to fit whatever you are talking about at the moment.
AS to this part of your tirade: "NEVER, I will repeat, NEVER have I ever made an expression to the WECRD Board, ANY volunteer, or employee of the WECRD Board as indicated above (the definition of "threat"). "
My comment:
You need to learn to read. OM's first sentence says she called 1 time and left a message. (She agrees that she did call). Second sentence: She says that she has NEVER called board members late at night. (She is stating simply that she has never called late at night).
So----- In total OM has said that she has called the board member, but not late at night.
YOU need to learn to read "for understanding", and quit twisting words to make them fit. Yet another attempt BY YOU to make something "seem" true when it is not.
What an idiot.
How can anyone prove what is in someone's mind or heart? Only they will know the truth of their words.
All, I have said is don't ignore or lightly dismiss words that have the appearance (of a threat) to be harmful or dangerous to a person in their unknown intent.
If you have a reasonable fear of that someone, then you should take precautions, make it known and be aware.
Simple steps to keep a known/unknown entity from possibly taking an action that could ruin two+ lives. History supports these simple actions of safety. Better Safe than Sorry!
Ok enough is enough. WAYL and AD, this has to stop. WAYL, if you witnessed it, then do the right thing and report it. If it happened to BB then she needs to report it.
AD, no amount of words is going to change WAYL mind so stop trying.
I know I am tired of the constant battle of words either proof what you are saying by action or facts to back it up or stop and move on to something more of value to the community as a whole.
AD,
What you say is non-existent, I say is blatant.
In this particular case, OM has loudly, forcefully and completely in detail given her "say" to Boomerbeth all over this blog site. Also, OM has let it be know that she has given her "say" in Boomerbeth's place of work....
so under the "veiled" threat her "say" could be a myriad of things... WHY TAKE A CHANCE... why make that threat in the first place?
OM is not shy why does she have to wait and find Boomerbeth anywhere? For you to so offhandedly throw this threat away because YOU choose to ... is absolutely your prerogative.
As you do , I can only speak for myself and with all the other extreme behavior from OM toward Boomerbeth explicitly, it sounds like a very real threat to me. If Boomerbeth chooses to "take it lightly" that is her choice - not yours or mine.
I feel strongly that there are people in their graves today that wouldn't be there if they had taken such a threat seriously and not treated as lightly as you would like. Again, it isn't our choice at all, is it?
WAYL,
The basic premise of your argument doesn't exist except in YOUR mind so there is nothing to minimize. Non-existent is non-existent. So tell me Wackjob where is the threat? She said that she will have her say? So if I say that I'm going to the next WRECD meeting and have my say then I am threatening the WRECD board? If I say that the next time I see one of the board members I am going to have my say, then that is a threat? Words mean what they mean and not what you wish them to mean. You really are an idiot. You're on the wacko bus traveling down crazy lane headed for insanityville. It shows how clouded your judgment has become because of your dislike for OM. Drama queen. I hope that Beth does go to Law Enforcement with that weak stuff. She'll be laughed out of the office. But you are a witness to the threat so why don't you go file a complaint, clown crusader? Shes a terrorist and a murderer according to you so put your money where your mouth is. But you wont. Because your all big mouth and no action.
I disagree with your assessment of the threat.
As I have said before one need only pick up a newspaper, or watch a television newscast, to see the people who took personal safety lightly right up to the point they were gravely harmed or killed.
I agree, Boomerbeth should contact law enforcement. Get it on the official record and take steps to protect herself from possible harm.
Like I said, minimize it or pretend it didn't happen and condone it, makes no difference to me.
What is transparent is your attempt to downplay the fact that OM made a personal threat against Boomerbeth.
Talk to your blue in the face, try your smoke and mirror approach - the facts are the facts.
It isn't up to you or I what steps are taken from here... is it!
WAYL,
I guess you misunderstood me. No threat was made. If this is such a volatile situation then I suggest that Beth call law enforcement right now. But she won't because there was no threat. There was no threat back then and there is no threat now. True to your world domination plan you have OM already convicted and people in court for saying that she will confront Beth when she sees her. You are a drama queen. I don't know how many times I have to say it but there was no threat. Which is evident because if there were then Beth would go to the cops. This is a very transparent attempt to vilify OM by exaggerating and dramatizing a non-issue. You are a joke.
Hold that mirror up to your own tirades AD! Works for you just as well.
AND YOU ARE MINIMIZING it, but go ahead. Like I said,
"case after case would agree with you right up to the moment THEY became a VICTIM of violent crime!"
It is attitudes like this that has allowed as you put it "a non-issue" threat like this to turn into a court proceeding with someone's family member dead and another's on trial for that death.
news interview shows friends and neighbors saying - "we heard her say that. we just figured it was a non-issue and she was being a drama queen"... "We NEVER though she would actually kill poor soandso..." "The murderer seemed so nice and kind, we heard the disagreement but never thought she would act on it, We are in disbelief that this could have happened over such a silly disagreement"
Pick up a newspaper, check out some court docs... this type of scenario happens too often to be dismissed!!!!
So, again I say... AD- MINIMIZE IT AND CONDONE...
Not paying attention to someone who is making threats (whether you believe them to be idle or not) is dangerous. There are lots of people in their graves today, for ignoring such threats.
Me, I will pay attention. And my hope.. now that it is noted publically- is that she won't follow through.
One more thing...nobody has asked to be removed from the petition. I talked to the elections office 2 weeks ago and there were no requests to date. I have also had NO requests and neither has anybody else in the "group." Just wanted to clear that up RR.
First off, I did not "threaten" Beth. I have NO criminal history and NO violent past and would NOT waste my time on the likes of her or anybody else for that matter. I work in criminal law and have been to the Ada County Jail as well as the Canyon County Jail (to see clients)...NOT the place for me. I would NEVER take a life or threaten to take a life over stupid words spoken by equally "smart" persons. That is not my way. So say what you will because you will do just that but it makes some of you look less bright than you already seem. If this is how you get your kicks, go for it but I really do have better things to do. Enjoy your day.
WAYL,
I'm not minimizing anything. You're a drama queen that takes a non-issue and blows it way way out of proportion because you don't like what someone says. You're a joke. Even suggesting some of the legalities that you have, shows how over the top rediculous you are. But I know you're a crusader for justice because someone said some words that you didn't like. You comrades can say whatever you want but you have nothing, absolutley nothing. It doesn't matter what communitsts like you wish the law would say. Like how you wish you could silence anyone that doesn't agree with you. Or that you wish that OM had made a threat against Beth the mentally challenged volunteer. Maybe you three can get some brown shirts and some big black boots and go around enforcing your little anti-free speech manifesto. Then you can puke all over the constitution and have the laws changed to what you think they should be. But that's the only way your little fantasy world of clown terror and, have a talk with somebody threats would be reality. Zeig heil speech nazi.
WAYL, I wonder if I could get your e-mail address. I have a couple of questions to ask you. Mine is: boomerbeth@hotmail.com
"...I have outstanding people around me, with both ethics and values.....-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Wed, Sep 2, 2009, at 3:08 PM"
OM, Maybe you can take lessons from them- you could use some of both. IMHO
Ethical people don't need to use any form of threats, bullying, or harassment as a means to an end... such as yourself.
Bazooka,
You know what they say about assuming. For your info, I'm a gun-loving constitutionist. YOU say we don't need this rec center and can't afford it. I say we do and can. People here, especially kids and the ladies, need a place to go and something to do. You need to go live in a place like Bliss if you don't ever want anything in a community.
AD, case after case would agree with you right up to the moment THEY became a victim of violent crime!
Should we just look up cases in Idaho courts to substantiate this statement. "really officer we didn't take that threat seriously, we thought she was harmless just throwing around words"
You go ahead and minimize the threat with your ridiculing way, because all reasonable people can see the threat.
OM has her "say" all over this blog site and in particular has been very "say" to Boomerbeth. This threat clearly states when she gets Boomerbeth!
So, as I said MINIMIZE this threat! Condone it!
Hopefully, now that it has been publically noted- it will keep her from acting on it. And if she does, it clearly show premeditation!
Spoken like a true Democrat Redroth.........let's spend everyone else's money for crap we can't afford and don't need.
Redroth,
But many many more have come over to the side of reason. Over two thousand and counting.
Pissy Missy,
You just keep posting, too. I'm betting there's more than a few people who have changed their mind and now support the rec district because of you and your tactics. So keep it up.
rhsamp,
When the district was formed back in 2000, the residents voted for this district to be formed for the express purpose of building an indoor recreation center for Western Elmore County residents. All the documents concerning the formation of the district can be located in the WECRD office. The directors have tried to stay true to the original intent of why the voters wanted to form this district. Over these last eight years, 1.3 million has been saved to build this center. Almost $600K in Federal Appropriations money has been awarded to the rec district to build this center. If the center is not built the Federal Appropriations money will be gone. If you really want to understand what is going on, you should get the documents and do the research. Take Ms. Sellers up on her offer and come in and talk to her or the other directors. Trying to get the background on the WECRD from opinionated people who are going to slant everything they tell you to their liking is not a reliable source of information. But I'm sure you already knew that.
rhsamp,
You can start a number of different places. The Idaho code that covers Recreation districts is here, http://www.legislature.idaho.gov/idstat/...
The WECRD site and the minutes to their meetings are here, http://www.wecrdgov.org/index.htm
The Idaho open meeting law is here, http://www2.state.id.us/ag/manuals/openm...
Some video of the budget meeting from last week are here, http://www.youtube.com/results?search_qu...
Anything else and just ask away. Here's my take. The WECRD was formed to provide recreation and in 8 years they haven't. They have 1.3 million in the bank. They haven't spent any of the money collected on recreation but have given money to the arts council and spent money on a float and other things. This year they will run a one person three day a week office for over two hundred thousand dollars.The little league asked for some money this year and they turned them down. The city asked to partner with them on a walking path and they turned them down. The WECRD board members want pools in the rec center and they have been told repeatedly that the pools are a loser and cant be sustained. They will not back off of the pools. They commissioned a report back some time,(The Green Play report), and a month or so after they got the report they increased the building size by 30% and negated the whatever thousands of dollars that they spent on the report. The Y has partner with the WECRD and has formed a local citizens panel, the CLDC, and their job is to start from scratch and figure out what the community wants and see if it is sustainable. The CLDC members do not like the board anymore than anyone else from what I gather and have made them promise to abide by the CLDC recommendations. Which is great but some people are afraid that with the stubbornness of the current board that if the CLDC finds that a pool cannot be sustained or is not wanted that the WECRD board will cancel the contract with the Y and go their own way. There is a petition that has been circulated to dissolve the district and they have enough signatures to get the issue put on the ballot. It will most likely be dissolved and then the rec district money and property go to the county and has to be spent on recreation. Sorry it's long but that should give you plenty to start on. I wouldn't believe a single thing that is said on this board.
BlabberBeth---How could I have forgot what I said when I BROUGHT IT UP IN A POST JUST TODAY? You are a bimbo. As AD said...leave the thinking to those of us who can. If you try too hard you may just hurt yourself. As far as your posts, keep it up. It only helps my cause and gets me more signatures every time. Thank you.
I never claimed to be perfect nor a saint Beth so search it up. I know what I have and so do others. How "I will have my say" is a "threat" is beyond me. Had it been anyone else that said that I am sure it would be a non-issue.
WAYL
Once again, maybe you better leave the heavy thinking to your betters. "I'll have my say". Ya see retard in the English language that say means that someone will talk or "say" something. Didn't say I will have my foot in your butt. It said "say". Just because you don't like OM doesn't mean that the law gets twisted around to your drunken theories. Do you ever have a coherent thought or do you just open your mouth and let things falls out? I guess I should have said slur out. Have another drink and lets see how much further you can sink into insanity.
Look out there's a clown, oh no it's TERRORISM.
Tracy Lauric,
"This is a small town, Beth and I will see you in public someday and have my say". Oops! Guess you forgot about that one, too. Apparently the WECRD board thought these comments were serious enough to be concerned. Me? I just laughed my butt off.
You go ahead and send whatever you want to the WECRD lawyers. I will be doing my own research to see what I can do to retrieve these comments plus all the posts on here where you called me a "racist". You think you can threaten people into silence with your" I'm gonna call your attorney" b.s? Two can play that game. You have said more than enough damaging things to other posters on here to keep an attorney busy for months.
rhsamp:
What are your questions? It seems as if I have provided the places to go to back up my claims as well as provided word-for-word information based on their info (right down to the page number and paragraph/number). What would you like to know? I will respond with the facts, if I have them or where you might be able to find the info you are looking for. If I do not know, I can give you the name of a person to contact for further info.
I am a realist. I deal with the reality of a situation or situations. If that makes me a "negative person" in your eyes, that is fine. You do not know me or about my personal outlook on life.
I consider myself very lucky. Reality again. I have a home, for which I am able to pay for. I have a car to get me to and from work. I have a wonderful and tolerant husband. I have been blessed with special people in my life as a result of the WECRD drama. I have met many great people through all of this who are bright and can string together more than just nasty words and lies. I have great friends who have nothing to do with the WECRD, who take me the way I am. I have a job (or 2) while so many are unemployed (been there as well for a short time). So, while things are not "perfect" they could always be worse. Got a great email from a friend today. Not all positive...but still nice. She does not like when we sling cow pies on here but supports my efforts and understands the situation. I have outstanding people around me, with both ethics and values.
The sun is out and it is so nice out.
Gosh how I dislike my negative outlook.
That is if you are going to answer questions regarding the board and have proof to back up what you have to say. I would love to see the rec center be built, I would use it, like I said before, but I would like to hear what you have to say about the board and I am not being rude, no matter how you take it I would really love to hear your take on it.
One more little note....I could really careless what you think about me either. See you at AFAD :)
Oh Ms Opinion Missy, you are very welcome, I will enjoy the sunshine. To bad that you have such a negative outlook on things, I bet a lot of people would change their mind about you if you were more positive. You really do seem to know how to do the research but I think a lot more people would listen to you if you were not so negative.
Thank you rhsamp. I truly care what you think of me (not so much). Enjoy the sunshine.
Wow Ms. Opinion Missy, seems like your integrity is right up with theirs?????
Whatever! I called Marsha Sellers at home, during the day and left a VM for her. She returned that call at 9:45 p.m. 2 days later. Kind of late on her part for those of us up at 5:00 a.m.!
That is the only call EVER to a board member at home and I left the voice mail message during the day---NOT LATE AT NIGHT.
From now on, I will speak to the WECRD Board through email only unless at a public meeting. I see what tales the WECRD has started now and shall remove myself from their sordid (vile) web.
If the WECRD feels they have to lie to defend their bad acts over the last year, so be it. Shows their lack of integrity and how they wish to deal with the public.
OM,
It appears your threat to Boomerbeth, from my perspective, meets the definition of assault in the State of Idaho
Under B: point 1: "by word or act" OM posted threat on blog
2: OM specified workplace location "ability to do so"
3: "a well-founded fear" due to continued aggressive behavior both in writing and in person
Cited from:
Idaho TITLE 18
CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS
CHAPTER 9
ASSAULT AND BATTERY
18-901. ASSAULT DEFINED. An assault is:
(a) An unlawful attempt, coupled with apparent ability, to commit a
violent injury on the person of another; or
(b) An intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the
person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some
act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence
is imminent.

OM, contradicting statements here! You a: either "NEVER" called them or b: called them 1 time. Which is it? And when you change your statements from one post to the next, HOW is anything you put out to be believed? This is only one example, I can and have produced more.
This is just another example of your doubtful integrity. Change the story to fit whatever you are talking about at the moment.
AS to this part of your tirade: "NEVER, I will repeat, NEVER have I ever made an expression to the WECRD Board, ANY volunteer, or employee of the WECRD Board as indicated above (the definition of "threat"). "
You may have successfully gotten rid of the proof of this statement by "the hiding and subsequent deletion of" your old blog posts; but I am sure Boomerbeth has not forgotten your THREAT to "get her out alone outside of the wercd office and let her have it". I sure haven't! Too bad she didn't press charges.
I wonder Boomerbeth, does MHN have the ability to get that post and statement back? Maybe charges are in order, especially with OM's continued behavior toward you and since she has made it known publically- that she knows who you are, where you work and will wait to find you outside of your work.
BB:
Old Guy, I don't know the answers to all of your questions but I'll try. The WECRD was concerned for the safety of their supporters when threats were made by the loose cannon (Lauric). You can believe what you want but that was their feeling at the time. As to why they didn't get the Y involved in 2006, I don't know. But the Y is involved now so why can't you cut them some slack? Most people want this to work. Lastly, they have a contract with a person to maintain the web but on a part-time basis. This person has a full-time job of her own to work around.
-- Posted by boomerbeth on Tue, Sep 1, 2009, at 11:47 PM
You state, on a public forum, that I have made threats to the WECRD. That is slander sweetie and defamation and 100% NOT TRUE! Please state what "threat" other than pushing a petition (my legal right under the law) I have made. I have NEVER called a board member late at night as was stated but did have a board member call me at 9:45 p.m. That is the ONLY time that I have EVER called a board member at their home and the ONLY time that I ever will. I went to Ms. Seller's home after she posted personal contact info for me on this site. I do not believe that I was out of line considering she should have had enough sense NOT TO DO IT in the first place. She gave me a tour of her husband's wonderful iris garden (which is huge) while I was there and we had a very open conversation. At NO POINT did she ask me to leave or state that she was unhappy that I was there. Had she, I would have left.
So Beth, since you are going to slander me on this public forum, when did I make "threats" and what did I say? Why did I NOT ever get a visit from the police if they are so afraid of me? I am sure, if what you said (IF), was even true, they would have ALL jumped at the chance to prosecute me to the fullest extent of the law.
I do not appreciate your comments and find your lies to be greatly out of line with my efforts on this movement. You stoop to new lows Ms. Reed each time that you type. There is accountability with things that you put in print and state about a person when they are not true. I do have to say that your efforts, are perfectly in line with those of the WECRD Board as you clearly cannot make statements based on facts either. I hope that you have the facts to support what you have stated because I fully intend to seek money damages with regard to your comments and those of the WECRD as well as your comments while acting as an "agent" for the WECRD. When I have been at public meetings, I take my 1, 2 or 3 minutes and sit down when that time is up. When I go into the WECRD office I make my document requests and leave. When I converse with anyone in their ofiice, I am polite (other than a very rude experience with Charles last week where he got in the middle of a conversation that Nancy and I were in and I asked why he had to be so rude). And dear Beth, I have never had a cross word with you even after your fat remarks and comments about my employment, etc (you could also use some recreation sweetie as I weigh less than you at present). Have a very nice day there Alice in Wonderland. I guess if you cannot win a debate based on facts, one must resort to lies. Pretty sad. I have forwarded my comments to the WECRD attorney at Hall Friedly and also to the WECRD Board by way of Judy Erwin. Let me define "threat" for you Beth:
Main Entry: 1threat
Pronunciation: \ˈthret\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English thret coercion, threat, from Old English thrçat coercion; akin to Middle High German drôz annoyance, Latin trudere to push, thrust
Date: before 12th century
1 : an expression of intention to inflict evil, injury, or damage
2 : one that threatens
NEVER, I will repeat, NEVER have I ever made an expression to the WECRD Board, ANY volunteer, or employee of the WECRD Board as indicated above (the definition of "threat"). Had I done that, I am sure the police would have been in contact with me. So Beth, waiting on those facts to back up your statement. The petiton is not a "threat" so I hope you will be smart enough to leave that out. And my statement that I would "be the one to take down the WECRD" was not a threat either because it was made in direct reference to the petition going ahead due to the WECRD being unyielding in their plans contrary to public comment and input. Waiting Beth. I am at home today so the police should find me easy to locate should they want to "charge" me for the crimes you have alleged.
WAYL,
Guess we will have to agree to disagree on the choice of words and how the person reading them interpts them as opposed to what the sender intended. I am done with this subject as there are more important things to discuss.
Terrorism - function noun. date: 1795
The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.
they further define terror as:
Terror - function: noun. date: 14th century
1 : a state of intense fear
2 a : one that inspires fear b : a frightening aspect c : a cause of anxiety d : an appalling person or thing
3 : reign of terror
4 : violent or destructive acts (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands
OG, In the English language words can have a multitude of meanings; just because you choose ONE definition does not invalidate the definition I choose to employ.
Terrorism, even in today's world events, does not have a universally accepted definition -as you have assigned it. As you stated, you may wish to check with more than one source before making blanket statements.
There is a new blog by Derek Eccles that I would like to point everyone to. To my knowledge he has done 2 blogs in MHN and they are superb IMO. The last one he did yesterday ....
We Need To Be Good Examples
Posted Tuesday, September 1, 2009, at 3:23 PM
Good Examples
"How many of us have benefited in our lives from a good example? Let me ask an even more important question. How many of us have been that good example? We often worry about our kids and the kind of people they hang around. We don't want them to be around bad influences. We worry so much about those influences surrounding them outside of our homes that often I think we forget to be that good example that they need inside the home. Lots of times kids will be so influenced by the good examples at home that they will be able to fend off those bad examples outside of the home. We tell our kids to associate with good people so why don't we demonstrate to them what that looks like. Let me give you a few examples of what a good example DOESN'T look like."
I swear I thought he was gonna talk about this blog ...... but he went on to talk about other examples of not being a goo example. It's worth a read.
Jessie
BB,
Ah, so I should cut them some slack because they are attempting to finish something they started 3 years ago now that some heat is placed upon them. I should cut them some slack because I am concerned about what they are doing with my tax money. I don't think so.
As for the website, EE has it right. The site has been updated at least 4 times recently and still outdated information like when the meetings are stays. And if the person that has been contracted cannot make updates due to a different job, then maybe they should look for another contractor. I am not blaming the contractor but the board instead. Ms. Sellers stated months ago that she was going to get many of outdated items corrected and I have only seen PR items placed on it.
Bottom line, the board still fails to keep the public informed in a timely manner.
boomerbeth; quit blameing the updates on the webmaster that was hired by the WECRD office. Yes she does have a full time job but she doesn't just put info or update anything on the WECRD web site without first getting that info from that office. The webmaster the board hired is very good with computers and web site so put the blame right where it belongs right on the WECRD office for not giving her the stuff to update in a timely matter. Just another case of that outfit always putting the blame on everyone but themselves.
Old Guy, I don't know the answers to all of your questions but I'll try. The WECRD was concerned for the safety of their supporters when threats were made by the loose cannon (Lauric). You can believe what you want but that was their feeling at the time. As to why they didn't get the Y involved in 2006, I don't know. But the Y is involved now so why can't you cut them some slack? Most people want this to work. Lastly, they have a contract with a person to maintain the web but on a part-time basis. This person has a full-time job of her own to work around.
BB,
Seems to me a read a form of censorship when I reviewed the minutes from past WECRD meetings. To me, they have tried to censor what volunteers might say by requesting that they not blog at all about the WECRD.
Concerning the Y, during the same review, the WECRD was in contact with the Y in 2006 and it took until 2009 (petition year) for them to actively engage them. Do you know why the long delay? I would have thought they would have involved the Y in 06 and not waited so long. DUH !!
Also I seem to remember somone, can't remember who, stated that the web site was updated by a volunteer but in the minutes, the WECRD has a contract with a person to maintain it. Seems to me that a volunteer does not get paid. Do you know which it is, volunteer or contract? Also why is only some information updated? They still show 2 meetings a month and that changed MONTHS ago.
Let's see if you can answer these questions.
Atomic Dog:
"I think everyone should refer to anyone of the opposition as a retard, idiot, or moron" posted by AD.
All I can say for you is that you have some really weird ideas about debating. I'm glad everyone doesn't think like you or there wouldn't be any civil discourse in the world and everyone would be at war with each other.
As for the WECRD, they ARE looking at this project with a critical eye to see what will work and can be sustained by the community. Why do you think they got the Y involved? DUH!!!
PC Betty, you wouldn't be trying to censor people, now would you? If the board asked for supporters not to blog but they do anyway why is that your problem? You just relax and worry about yourself.
WAYL,
Please see my post on the main page. Since you love to look things up, I suggest you look up the word terrorism. Just in case you can't or don't want to here it is:
S: (n) terrorism, act of terrorism, terrorist act (the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear)
BRAVO!!!!!!! Thank you, Yes I have been playing in the sandbox with OM. And since ONE of her stanch supporters has made a very true statement about us both. I will step out. However, if she continues; I will call her on it, over and over and over again.
"What truly disgusts me and many of my friends, is the way you and OM have resorted to mud slinging. It does nothing to lend credit to the stance of either of you. I might suggest that both of you try not stoop so low. More people might actually listen to the meaning of your words rather than the harseness. It does not matter who started it, that is so sandbox, but it takes a bigger person to stop it.-- Posted by Old guy on Mon, Aug 31, 2009, at 8:47 PM"
OM you pretentious idiot... I know what the definition of CLAP is moron. I used the TERM CLAPTRAP! Which is NOT a medical term! in any medical dictionary!!!!
See here is another example of how you twist data to fit your argument, you took the work claptrap and made it into something else and are now arguing the use of the term CLAP. I even gave you the definition so you could understand the use of the term CLAP TRAP.
So, continue to prove my point that you present misinformation as FACT.
And please continue to run your claptrap!!!!! Thank you
Below are some of the best "words" I have read on this blog to date.

I believe everyone has the right to their opinion, AND to voice that opinion. I don't feel it's good enough to say
"I'm not going to voice my opinion and get tangled up with Lauric and her little group of rabble-rousers who call you "idiot", "moron" and "retard" for simply stating your feelings."
If it's worth it, then it's worth it, in my opinion. To show support, you could step in and voice your opinion, and never read again, to became 'tangled up'. But if you "Don't stand for something, you might fall for anything"
I support a Rec Center and have said so before. I am appalled and dismayed at what I have read to date, and was furious at what I saw on the videos. Even more so, because those are some people that I know, and I hate to be disappointed in folks I previously wouldn't have seen that way. I am NOT in favor in the WECRD district/board as is.
Jessie Miller
Boomerbeth,
Could it possibly be that more of you don't get on here because you were told not to?! Possibly because you are ineffectual at debating the points? You've been asked about this repeatedly but you haven't responded.
Copied this directly from the minutes on their website: http://www.wecrdgov.org/pdf/2009/MINUTES...
"MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
WESTERN ELMORE COUNTY RECREATION DISTRICT
JULY 17, 2009 -- 3:00 P.M.
...
President Marsh announced that all WECRD volunteers be asked not to "blog" concerning the WECRD. Director Marsha Sellers said she will contact the volunteers to that effect."
Wacko,
Ya see there dummy, when no one else says that they couldn't sign in then its a logical conclusion that no one else couldn't sign in. But you jump right to your lying thing don't ya. Big conspiracy again. You haven't proven anything. You make suppositions and just make stuff up in you're little brain and call it a fact. Great you're a trashy big mouth. You've proven you point. Talk about the dead kid some more. Shows where your heads at.
Beth,
Are you two sisters? You use the same line of retarded thinking. As far as your post. I don't find that there is any problem with this site. I think everyone should refer to anyone of the opposition as a retard, idiot, or moron. That would just make it common and your poor little soul wouldn't get trampled by words. Which is strange because you give no thought to discounting the WORDS that the board members let fall out of their mouths in the budget meeting but on here words are a criminal offense. Which brings up how stupid you are by making a point that people can't come on here and say their little sappy feelings. It's not about feelings you dummy. It's about what will benefit this community and not drain it dry with Olympic pools and other shtuff that can't be sustained without burdening the community more than it already will. That's probably the core of the whole problem. The board really FEELS that we need this thing so they skew the numbers to match what they FEEL we need. This collection of retards needs to look at this with a critical eye and make sure that it can work. But they won't. They didn't hear a single thing that was said to them at the meeting. They sat there with their heads on their hands or bouncing their feet or checking how much time was left or shutting down ANY discussion and then they spoke AT the people that were there.
Something I've notice after sifting through all these posts is that most of you are telling WAYL to stop posting, to change her attitude. Yet nothing towards OM. I've been reading this blogsite for over a year now and it's always the same. You turn a blind eye and forgive anything OM writes. You are silent when she is obnoxious, rude, arrogant, and threatening to other posters: yet let someone else get on here and match her word for word and they're the ones who are "sick and need help". You people can't have it both ways. You either think all of this is wrong or none of it. If you're going to start trashing WAYL, I want to hear the same indignation from you towards Lauric. I'm sick of all of you defending Lauric. She is the problem on this website and always has been.
And OLD GUY, if you want to know why more WECRD supporters don't get on this website, I can only tell you what several supporters told me: "you couldn't pay me enough money to get on this website. I'm not going to voice my opinion and get tangled up with Lauric and her little group of rabble-rousers who call you "idiot", "moron" and "retard" for simply stating your feelings. That might explain some of the reluctance. And Ms Marylin, If WECRD meetings at 6:00 or 7:00 pm on a Wednesday evening is not convenient for you, what time, pray tell, would be? These directors are all volunteers who have other jobs and families they must work their time around. And EAGLE-EYE, the WECRD, in an effort to save tax-payer money, has not hired a full-time web manager at - what would it be? - $40,000 a year. Instead, they have hired a part-time person who has a full-time job of her own. The result is that material may not get on the website as fast as people would like, but we're all trying to do the best we can. Anyone care to volunteer to help instead of criticize?
WOW!!
WAYL,
I did my own research and even have tried several times to speak to anyone in the WECRD office. Those attempts have failed. I have tried to get the board to respond to simple requests here on the BB AFTER they posted but those have failed as well. I questioned the statistics referred to on the WECRD web sight and never received a response. I tried to make at least 6 meetings over the past 1 1/2 years but the board made that difficult when they either posted the meeting notice with only a few hours notice or change the date/time on a whim.
I took what OM and others have posted and researched it myself. I have found errors on both sides and have even disagreed with OM on some of them.
My final conclusion.... the WECRD has been less than honest and has not been open with information. While the orginal intent of the WECRD was commendable one, they have lost sight of the ultimate goal and that is to support recreation for all.
I will tell you that my name was one of the first ones on the petition and I signed it proudly. It was my way of expressing my freedom of voting.
What truly disgusts me and many of my friends, is the way you and OM have resorted to mud slinging. It does nothing to lend credit to the stance of either of you. I might suggest that both of you try not stoop so low. More people might actually listen to the meaning of your words rather than the harseness. It does not matter who started it, that is so sandbox, but it takes a bigger person to stop it.

OM...not so crazy or stupid afterall. It is a slang term normally used to describe an individual with "loose" sexual behavior who has at least 1 STD. SLANG.
AD, yeah.. more of your lying facts at work. How do you know "no one else couldn't sign on"... apparently you must be privy to all subscribers and have communicated with them all to know that.
MHN doesn't post because they uphold commentor's anonymity. Integrity, something many of you know nothing about.
Smoke and mirrors rehortic; doesn't change the truth of their lies proven with their own words.
I have thick skin and these parasite's comments are beneath contempt.
WAYL(Wacko And Yelling Loudly),
You are definitely the only idiot that is reading this blog and thinks that a terrible injustice has been done and that OM should be killed immediately. If the MHN has been so terribly wronged then why haven't, or didn't, they publish anything one way or the other? It was more than likely a mistake that they made but no one elses blogs were erased. No one elses posts were erased? No one else couldn't sign on. If those things happened to someone else then where are they? The MHN is who you should be asking to change your diapy and settle you down ya brown noser. Shut your pie hole. You're the little tattle tale that wants everyone ban so you can rule the world with worse behavior. You're the last one that can throw the first stone idiot child. Get out of the trailer, put down the crack pipe, and take a breath. You'll feel much better and eventually your little brain will heal.
Whyarentyoulistening do you have anything at all worth while to post...I read about three of your posts and came to one conclusion you are a real NUTJOB!!!!!
In the internet world they call folks like you "TROLLS"
Oh yea, more importantly on your newest tangent.... I'll adjust.
When given copies of post that is YOUR own words, when I give a statement such as EE is even implying... those are my words. Feel free to use them.
Thank you.
just a note, I have never received and email from MHN, unlike OM. we shall see.
WAYL; you have a one track mind seeing how many people you can tell what they said and turn it around to fit your agenda. I did not imply that the MHN has a grudge against OM all I did is state what happened and yes I did talk to the MHN over it and the reason they were unhappy about the hiding of a blog and there point is if they the person that writes the blog doesn't want it there then the MHN requests that the person writing the blog contact them and have the entries removed, that shouldn't be that hard to understand if you could really read WAYL and understand what you read, I now join airforcewive and others to put you on ignore and quit even replying to your trash and maybe you will go away before the MHN has to take you down.
Am I truthfully the only person who is reading this blog, that feels that MHN is being unjustly accused of censorship and singling out OM for her stand on the wercd issue. Even EE is implying that MHN has a 'grudge' against OM with his explanation.
Doesn't anybody think this is wrong?
Yes, I understand her first belief was based on incorrect information and she jumped to conclusion and shared them with her friends.
But when she found out the truth, she never took the responsibility to clear MHN of wrong doing, instead she implied, encouraged and left the impression that MHN did it on purpose with malice toward her.
That's my issue, the unfairness of her actions and no responsibility when proven she was wrong.
If she took issue with you and put it out there as fact as in this case, how would you feel in MHN's shoes if it were personal?
airforcewive; The normal meeting for the WECRD are held the 4th Wed of each month at 7:00 PM. And you are right its not the type of meeting young kids should be at, it has happened in the past but I don't think that is a very good idea, at least you have a month to see if you can work out something with your kids for a couple of hours on the 4th Wed and see if you can make a meeting.
claptrap definition
clap·trap (klap′trap′)
noun
showy, insincere, empty talk or writing, intended only to get applause or notice
WAYL What's the color of my house?
WAYL: Don't you think that all the "blind" followers of OM have done their own research. I started looking into this right before the election last year. Personally, I never even spoke to OM until very recently. I do think most everyone on here (yourself excluded) is intelligent enough to read the information - be it facts or opinions - then make a judgment from there.
fine Msm, that is your choice and your right to do so. Anonymity is precious when dealing with unbalanced people as OM and a few others who are desperately trying to figure out who I am.
No one likes to be held to such a tight standard for their words as I am holding OM. Give out concise, accurate, truthful information and you will hear nothing from me. Put out unfounded accusations, lies, and contradict yourself within your own writings and you'll hear from me. Get rude, crude and vile with me.... you will get it back ten fold. boulders and trees!
you don't like my rules, don't play. easy.
Okay EE, I did the search on your webmd and guess what... there is no medical defintion for that term clap trap on that site either. smoke and mirrors won't hide the fact that she lies to try and make her point. And that within her own posts can be found those contradictions/lies. truth hurts.
"When it comes to OM's blogs leaving she did hide them and the MHN wasn't to happy about that so they finished the job and deleted them OM did not delete them."
This is your statement, correct?. So, what is true, she has not control over them or she has the control to hide them? secondly, How do you know this for fact, MHN disclosed this to you? Or is this OM's explanation? or just supposition on your part? facts facts facts.... you scream for them... where are they?
okay. I will.
WAYL You got me curious as to which Neighbor of mine you are.
If you really are a Neighbor of mine what is the color of my house? If you don't answer this post I will take the silence as you really aren't my Neighbor!
HERE'S YOUR PROOF FOLKS on OM'S true MOTIVES!!!!!
"""Funny RR...I have 111 comments on my blog....
-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Sat, Aug 29, 2009, at 1:47 PM """
Her own sense of selfimportance is the movtivating factor! Couple that with all the proof of her lies and contradictions within her own writings and you have a very poor source for reliable information.
DO YOU OWN RESEARCH, look up the cited documents!!!!!!! Talk with the other viewpoint, talk with the people working on the project, write letters and ask the questions, before you BLINDLY follow such an unreliable and questionable source as OM.
Eagle-Eye, thanks. I would love to attend the next meeting and see it first hand when ever the meeting is, but not sure how that will work since my husband is deployed and I have children.
WAYL, you sure took the long way around to find anything on Clap Trap and didn't find anything so as usual others are always liars in your face. Try this webmd.com and type in clap trap and do the search.
When it comes to the WECRD keeping their site up to date they have a very good webmaster but they don't seem to give the info to the webmaster to update anything. All the people on the board and staff want to be there and in charge if they don't have time to fill the needs of the WECRD office then get out of there.
When it comes to OM's blogs leaving she did hide them and the MHN wasn't to happy about that so they finished the job and deleted them OM did not delete them. WAYL don't be shocked when you get the e-mail from the MHN you won't be the only one and I suggest to pay attention to what is coming.
airforcewive, nice to see you change your mind on some of the things that have been going, it really does help to get the facts from the source and then talk about it instead of shooting from the hip. If you are in town and have some free time I will meet you and you can see some of the documents I have OM has talked about, I don't have them all but sure can help you out on some of it. Thanks for taking the time to really read what has been and is going on and to be informed when you do make your comments.
OM has given the reports that give the info regarding the WECRD. Some of these are: the Shaw Snow Report, the GreenPlay Report, the December, 2008 budget for the facility (employees, programs, pools, etc.) and the HUD documents. That will give you the entire story in a nut shell.
The facts are pretty much spoken through the reports and also the taped minutes of the meetings; which are available for all to read and listen to. I believe you can go to the WECRD and ask for them.
AFW, sweet nice reasonable OM at work. woooohooo
Here is just one time you made that statement OM, would you like me to go find more? PROOF YOU ARE A LIAR, or at least that you will lie to try and make your point. Which makes all your info on any subject suspect!!!!!
""""Beth, try to get this through your head...I pulled my blog NOT the MHN. Call them and ask. I still plan to write but only on the WECRD. Have a nice night Beth and try-try-try to speak the truth. Speaking of bottom feeders! It is no wonder you work with that bunch, you are just the same as them.-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Thu, Jul 16, 2009, at 10:38 PM""""
OM, would you like me to go get you posts from July where you said... and I quote "I was not banned, I pulled my own blogs"
so once again, you show yourself to be a liar.
Notice of meetings is set in law. violation of law is prosecutable.
As to the rest, I can't tell you why. Maybe they don't have enough adequate help to keep the website up, maybe their combined schedules only allow for the meetings at the times they have them. Not sure, I do know that most of the board is made up of volunteers, who have work and lives other than the wercd, this could possibly make it difficult for them. But I actually am not privy to that type of info, any thought on that subject would just be a guess.
More misinformation from OM:
Interestingly enough, I thought OM's explanation for misinterperting the use of the word claptrap was plausible. So, I searched medical on-line dictionaries, called two local doctors office, and St. Lukes. To their expert medical knowledge they have never heard the word claptrap used in a medical definition or setting. hummmm. interesting.
Thank you OM!!!
Once again, people who blog CANNOT delete their blogs from the MHN site. I can pull them to edit but I cannot delete them. The magic delete button is in the hands of the MHN---NOT those who blog. We cannot delete comments either. The MHN maintains this site, not us.
Okay AFW. The reason it has taken so long to build a facility is because they have tried to do it debt free (save for years and years). There have been several floor plans and designs as well as several sets of "plans" for what the facility will contain. The building plan from June, 2009 has the building at 33,000 SF. They state they will be able to build for $67.00 per/SF. They state in the most current HUD documents that they plan to spend 5 million dollars to build but told the public they would spend way less than that (29,000 X $67.00) which is just a little over 2 million bucks. There are issues regarding sustainability. We are being taxed for this facility and will also have to pay to use it. That is the short version. If you want to read up on this take a look at the Shaw Snor Report, the GreenPlay Report, the December, 2008 budget for the facility (employees, programs, pools, etc.) and the HUD documents. That will give you the entire story in a nut shell.
WECRD Board Meeting Minutes do not contain all comments, etc. so I (IMHO) would not rely only on those if you are going to make an informed and educated decision one way or the other based on all facts. It is a lot to read and they will charge you for copies. However, we will be at AFAD and will have copies of all of this with us for folks to review. Up to you. Copies get expensive.
You can also go to their web page. You can pull it up under Western Elmore County Recreation District. The info on there is outdated and less than current but it will give you part of the other side of this saga/story. Others on here can fill you in as well. Many of us have been working on this for over 1.5 years now and have been to a lot of meetings. They do an audio of all their meetings. You can always listen to their tapes.
WAYL You are my neighbor? Give me a hint ! lol !
WAYL Nice post and no name calling and I could actually make sense of it.
So now my question why aren't they keeping their web site up and why when they have a meeting they don't give the Public enough time to know about the meeting?
Also why do they hold the meetings at odd times?
Shouldn't they be held at a reasonable time so those who wish to attend can make it there?
MsM, I am your neighbor.
of course OM, a medical meaning is the common term. wow, really had to think about that excuse for awhile.
So, you have no idea what happened to all your old blogs, heh?! convenient and typical. Didn't you say you pulled them? hummmm . more misinformation.
HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE of OM's misinformation when it suits her. Concerning any data she presents a person would be better served to go look it up on their own.
The point is simple AFW, so you could see your own statements made a few days ago. Must have forgotten.
AFW, has anyone told you that the WECRD has stated their goal is to build this million+ facility and NOT incur debt for the construction. In simple terms, they are trying to save the money and pay for the construction without a HUGE mortgage/debt. They have been saving less then 10 years as well as setting up and establishing an office, employees, volunteers and a board. All of this information is verifiable. Go look.
Watch for the OM's personal vendetta against certain board members. IMO it makes info she puts out suspect.
When you put all your weighing of facts, on any subject, on one person's input or solely on their evaluation of data; then you are doing an injustice to yourself and the subject at hand. This is the only point of contention between OM and I... I find her info suspect, she doesn't like that. My own review of the financials has given me my opinion, not OM's personal agenda rhetoric.
PLEASE EVERYONE!!!! Ignore WAYL's posts, don't respond. It's like when you tell your child not to do something and they do it anyways, but you don't say something and they loose interest. PLEASE...lets help stop the madness.
WAYL: what was your point in finding my old posts and posting them again. I was saying the same thing i've been saying...seriously that my last time I try to get you to see the light and move on...grow up...be a more positive person. God bless you WAYL.
So OM: I am new to the topics of WERCD, I have not formed an opinion yet. I honestly did not take to much interest into the WERCD because I was pretty wrapped up in my own life and I didn't think we'd be here for any period of time, but at this rate I realized I need to take more of an interest because this is where my kids will grow up. So I am getting some of this and been reading up on it, but is your opinion that the Y would do a better job of planning this. One thing I do not understand though is why it has taken so long for the WERCD to do anything. I am still not leaning one way or the other. But plan on watching your video's tonight when I get home. Let me know about the Y.
I do not know. Maybe call and ask if it is that important to you. I have no idea.
I have a medical background working in med mal. "Clap trap" in the medical community has another meaning, but you already know that. I am fine with the english language but thanks for your concern.
Who are you WAYL? Do you live in MTH?
midea... facts? tell us the FACTS. as presented my OM. right
AFW, I second or third that last post of yours. Maybe he/she will go back under their rock. We can hope...
Prepare to be fired upon.

So, what happened to all your blogs when you pulled it in July?

We have an ability to go in and edit a blog but we are NOT able to delete them from the MHN system. We are also unable to delete or edit ANY comments made by people. If a comment is deleted, it is deleted by the MHN not the person with the blog.
Midea: AMEN, I am done dealing with her too, let's just read Tracy's blog and ignore WAYL's comments. Oh Happy Days... :)
Airforcewive:
Thankyou. I think the thing for me to do, is skip any posting that WAYL writes. I too think it is weird and yes as you say, "enough is enough."
Now on to dealing with the FACTS as some say, and listening to other points of view regarding the WECRD.
Midea, did i miss something, this is not a anti/pro WECRD forum.... this is the MHN blog site. Many subjects.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WECRD. If you want to be sold a bill of goods, fine!!!!! It is your choice. why not do your own research instead of believing the touting of an opinion on a blog site as gospel.
As long as posting is done on the MHN blog site, I will post my thoughts. You have a choice, don't read them or respond... too simple?!
FACTS?
some advice: go to a reputable source not an agenda/opinion filled blog site for valid information.
And OMG!!! are you kidding me?!? In my opinion she is a crazy zealot running off of emotional disillusionment. other zealots who ran off of emotional disillusionment that come to mind are Jim Jones, Joseph Di Mambro, Marshall Applewhite, David Koresh, Charles Manson, Cledonia Mwerinde, and quite possibly the newest addition to the list will be Opinion Missy. So, NO!
If you want to be sucked into her vile cortex, ride the wave! Me, I'll stay off that crazy ride thank you very much.
I totally agree MsMarilyn.
WAYL: it's not that I am siding with OM it's just enough is enough! I hate to state the odvious but grow up! The only reason you post such hateful things back at her is because like you said you won't give out any of your info. if people knew your name would you speak with way? Probably not. And I don't get the vocabulary lesson through out the day. It's just plain weird. Like I said in an earlier post. I have been the brunt of both you and OM before. I fired back at her a couple times and realized that's not me and it's silly so I don't do that. Everyone is entitiled to their opinion. Yes this is the MHN website but it's Tracy's blog on here.
Just be a big person and don't read it anymore if she makes you that mad. Life is way to short for all the constenant conflict. There are way bigger problems in the world then OM's opinions. Why don't you take some of your energy and write a letter to a troop who is deployed. We have many people from MHAFB deployed right now, including my husband. Again...way bigger issues then opinions and hatered. This has got to stop. I though Iraq was bad when I was deployed there. But the hatred here in our own community scares me.
Now I am done with this. OM...state your opinion though I may not agree, it's nice to see and hear both sides.
OM please keep giving your facts from the papers such as meeting minutes, HUD, phone calls and whatever may be there and also your take on it.
WAYL: You do the same. ONLY from YOUR OWN papers, meeting minutes, HUD, phone calls and so on that you research from the WECRD. You cannot debate anyone unless you yourself know the actual facts.You can refute anyones words, but you need to do it factually. You can only debate what you know for a FACT. So, please go get the same info that OM is using or find more info on your own. Please do the research and tell us your take and side of it is.
We don't read this to find out what you think of OM.
We are here to find out the info about the WECRD. Dispute OM someplace else. But, if you have some informative info regarding the WECRD, then I am sure we would all love to read it.
WAYL If you don't want to give OM your email addy, then why don't you both meet somewhere and talk.
This slamming and name calling on here must stop !
If your afraid to meet her alone bring someone along with you.
And OMG ! Maybe if you two met up with each other you could get this settled and become friends. I know that's a long shot but its worth a try and then we can all be spared of the posts between you two.
I like to come here to read and get facts however I have to move past these outrageous posts to get to the ones that are important.
Maybe you can ask her to put the blogs she took off back on so you can have a good view of her cruelty to others. Of course, she probably won't.
On a side note: I do respect your request for reasonable discourse... small problem. In order to have a civil, reasonable discussion you need to be dealing with someone who has a modicum of integrity. It is my opinion, based on the past years worth of OM's posts; there is not even a dust mote of integrity.
CASE IN POINT: She put out that MHN banned her for her anti-wecrd sentiments. WHEN GIVEN PROOF that is was a computer glitch, NOT ONCE... anywhere did she admit she was wrong and apologize to MHN for wrongfully accusing them of collusion and censorship. To top it off this is not the first time she has implied wrong doing on MHN's part.
col⋅lu⋅sion/kəˈluʒən/
--noun 1. a secret agreement, esp. for fraudulent or treacherous purposes; conspiracy:
So, you go ahead and champion her actions. I will continue to call her on them as long as she is posting to the MHN website.
Bottom line, this is the MHN website, if she wants a personal blog then she can go set up her own and get off MHN's.
Poor picked on OM, why not talk to YoB, Boomerbeth, Smalltown (this is just a very short list too there are LOTS more) and get their opinions of the poor mistreated OM's treatment of others or better yet read some of her past posts.
I will not give out my personal infomation of any kind. I am not naive.
WAYL: but why in the world would you continue this with her. You both adviously have strong personalities. There is nothing wrong with that. I have been on the receiving end from both you and OM, but learned to deal with it. Fueling the fire is never a good thing. Why can't you have your opinions and she have hers. Bottom line, this is OM's blog and if you don't agree with what she has to say, then by all means state your opinion and then move on. But this hatefulness has to end. MsMarylin is right, this is just horrible and for someone whose about to move here reading this will think WOW, what a messed up town. But the name calling, and down right hatefulness needs to stop. If you don't like Tracy's opinion then ignore it and stay away from her blog. I just think we are all adults and don't need to act this way.
Can I ask, are you a man or women and your age range? Do you work in this community? How long have you lived here?
"The comments are getting just plain crazy and they should know. :)-- Posted by airforcewive on Mon, Aug 31, 2009, at 11:28 AM"
only mine? lol
I will sit and wait until you are on the receiving end, then I will provide you with copies of the posts you have just written. Time will tell. Hint: always agree with her and her cronies and you'll not be on the receiving end. ;-)
MsM, I for one would never give out my personal info to OM, she is psycho and has already threatened me and others.
airforcewive? weren't you the one who thought she may have been banned for the way she was treating people? Weren't you upset about being called an idiot when you asked for info? Should I go and get your posts where you are going back and forth with flowerpot?
As I have stated before, OM set the rules and the playing field. I have only obliged her.
APPARENTLY, Midea you are being obtuse.
I did give you the facts, as I read them from OM's posts. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WECRD. I am tired of OM's lies, misleading, attacks and I will continue to call her on the baloney she spews.
Are you coming late to this party, OM invited me because (as she braggingly stated) "Lives for conflict"... all I have done is given back better than she has thrown out, using the information she has provided.
If you were to research past blogs far enough you will find that I didn't start the exchange with OM as it is now, she was so evil, rude and crude to my very first post on this site because I didn't agree with her position.
As a result of being attacked by her on a personal level because of my opinion on that first post, I began reading the other blogs and comments and found her treating others even worse. Downright cruel.
No more than I will idly stand by and watch someone be cruel to an animal, would I sit by and watch her be cruel without provocation. Now, I don't and she whines and cries, too bad. She should stop her lying and groundless accusations. Case in point, the MHN computer glitch. Can you understand it NOW?
Did you not read the copy and pasted posts? I didn't write her responses!
ob⋅tuse/əbˈtus, -ˈtyus/
--adjective 1. not quick or alert in perception, feeling, or intellect; not sensitive or observant.
OM, I wouldn't give WAYL the satisfaction of replying to her/his messages. That's what keeps fueling the fire. Just post your messages and we'll read and comment and try to ignore her/his hateful comments. I know it can be hard but if you eventually ignore her/him hopefully he/she will go away. Have you reported him/her to the paper yet? The comments are getting just plain crazy and they should know. :)
Wow! I wake up this morning to check my blog to see if anyone posted on my blog (poor little dog that was tossed off of a bridge) and what do I see but OM and WAYL up most the night bickering back and forth.
I have an idea why don't you give each other your private email addresses and do your bickering there.
I wonder what people think when they read this who live out of state. Not a good example for our city
WAYL
I know you enjoy picking arguments - its telling.
I know you totally disagree with OM.
My question is this. Regarding the WECRD - Do you have the papers to reference and dispute what OM is saying about them? If you do - please give us the facts as you read them. If not - would you please get them and debate intelligently?
Are you willing to do that?
Enjoy your day WAYL. I can live with your lies as long as you can. I provide the truth, the lies come from the WECRD.
As for who you are, I could really care less but you do sound a lot like a member of the WECRD. Too much KA (Kool Aid) WAYL?

Another paranoid delusion? Are you trying to threaten me again by insinuating you know who I am and where I live?
Since it has become clear, who do you think I am?
Here is proof again for you: here you write that you assume it is a typo.... "I can read just fine. I ASSUME it is a typo (but it should have been caught in their annual audit) since their other documents have another number which is closer to other years......

Which is it, you assume or you got and explantion. Curious you didn't remember you got and explantion prior to me providing the defintions. You really aren't too bright are you?
You really can't be as dense as you are acting right now?! can you? of course it explains a lot of the misinfo. so I guess it must be true.
You did give out incorrect info according to your own posts, when you received information that corrected your wrong assumption, you took no action to correct that wrong assumption. Since your refuse to correct it, it now is a LIE!!!!! Which makes you a liar.
You went from a wrong assumption to a lie and continue to leave it that way. fine with me, I KNOW you for the liar and disseminator of false information that you are. I'm okay with it... are you?
Point made---you really are that stupid.
If you do not have the documents in front of you---you have no idea/clue what I am even talking about. Please come back when you can "debate" based on facts. Finish your drink and go to bed.
WAYL, IDIOT!!!
We went into the WECRD office and went over the info. They are the SAME THING but on 1 document are called 1 thing and on another they are called something else BUT IT IS THE SAME THING!! The person who did the books prior gave the things 2 different names (that was the WECRD's explanation). Go to the WECRD office and take it up with Judy. She will tell you the same thing. It is not very likely that 2 different accounts would have NEARLY the same dollar figure. I can only go off the info/statements they provide.
Hold the WECRD accountable if you do not agree with their terms. So once again, you do not have the documents for which you speak right?
As for the MHN, whatever. I did not lie. The message on the screen said I was "banned." It was their message not mine.
Nothing you post has any merit. Keep up the spewing of non-factual info. Your identity has become clear.
what documents pyscho? Here I will repeat for you, maybe this time it will make it through your thick head... I get my info from your posts!!! get it!! YOU are my source? dip
ASSume... you do, and what else are you ASSuming? Most of the questionable data you put on this website?
Gee, you are stupid. THE INFORMATION came directly from YOUR posts. And there is definitley a difference between Investment Income and Interest Earnings. It is not just a title difference.
investment income
Definition
Capital gains, dividends, interest, and rent generated by investment, and not by trading activities. Also called unearned income, investment income is generally taxable.
interest earned --
Definition
interest generated but not yet credited or paid
doesn't look like you know what you are talking about, OM. Proof again.
TALK ABOUT IDIOT: It wasn't the MHN that put out you were banned and why---YOU DID!!!!!
It was you and only you who disclosed that infomation, and it IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to CORRECT THE ERROR-LIE-MISINFORMATION you YOU you put out!!! dip twit
Here is another lie from you... you respond to my childish posts but the ones that have real merit you ignore.. because you don't have time or whatever baloney you throw out.
crazy, paranoid, pyscho you are proving yourself to be.
So, I take it that you do not have the documents for which you speak and call me a liar? Not a very good scout are you? You are ill-prepared. Speak not for which you do not know. Stupid people make my day. I have copies of those documents if you would like them so that you can at least review them and then talk. Must go. Stupid people bore me.
I can read just fine. I ASSUME it is a typo (but it should have been caught in their annual audit) since their other documents have another number which is closer to other years. My point was the DIFFERENCE you MORON. The WECRD cannot even read their own garbage put out by their office. It is not my job to point it out to them---that is what they pay people for (several thousands of dollars per year for an audit). This is why I did not reply. You are toooooooooo freakin stupid to even begin to understand. IDIOT!!!! You made my point for me.
of course, first out of the gate.... someone else's fault you can't read... right.
of course, first out of the gate.... someone else's fault you can't read... right.
"Cruel, misleading, lack of moral charachter." You are a joke WAYL and live in an alternate universe than the rest of us.
Did the MHN clarify the error? I posted the proof once you called me a liar and said I had staged the event for attention. Dolt. Get off the booze and drugs. Sober up you idiot.
Funny WAYL...on the other years they seem to line up/match up pretty good. In other words, the Statement of Revenues is pretty close to the P & L Actual. In 2006/07 the WECRD reports investment income of $112,553.71 (on their P & L printed 10/7/08). On their Statement of Revenues they report Interest Income of $22,554. For 2007/2008 on their P & L they report Investment Income of $23,409.20 which is very close to their figure on their Statement of Revenues document. I doubt highly that a year later they lost that much money (with more money in the bank) and the accounts that you declare to be "different" are very much one in the same they just have a slightly different title. Same accounts or the WECRD needs to explain where more money is under your theory. So, in short the larger number (112K) was a typo not caught/corrected in the audit. You do not know what you are talking about. My skills reading financials are just fine thank you.
So, that was the best you could do with all of the info I have put out there and your allegation is a complete and total lie aka your inability to read financial statements. Do you even have the documents (i.e. the P & L and the Statement of Revenue) to compare the figures? You need them both or you are missing a piece. If that is the best you can do (and your statement was not even true) based on the amount of info I have put out there, I have done pretty well as far as being factual and on target. IDIOT!!!!
So, any other facts there WAYL? Any more "proof" that what I have said is not true/factual based on the info the WECRD has given us? I did not respond to you because you are a complete idiot and I had no faith in your ability to understand the facts even when they were right under your nose. I only have so many hours in my day that I can deal with idiots and stupid people. I am sure I was at my limit for that day.
"""I do not believe I made an error based on the info I had and the result of my phone call. I fail to see your point on this.-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Mon, Aug 31, 2009, at 2:24 AM"""
HERE IS THE POINT:
When provided with the explanation and then realizing there was an error in your thinking; YOU took not one step to correct the MISINFORMATION you had put out there! Still haven't, as proved in the post above you are STILL INSINUATING THAT MHN CENSORED YOU!
Are you really this dense? or just such a liar you lie to yourself too?
funny though that you would go to the gutter first. You really are sick. It is obvious where you mind set is, another proof as to your lack of moral character.
You really are dimwitted, aren't you?!!! It's your intentionally cruel and misleading posts that I comment on, other than that you are less then a dust mote in my world.

Clap trap:

And true to form, when presented with factual information and proof of your continued misleading statements; you made no further comment. Caught with your own writings, AGAIN!!!!!!
I do not believe I made an error based on the info I had and the result of my phone call. I fail to see your point on this. You called me a liar and stted I had "staged" my ban for attention. That was not true and I posted the email directly from the MHN. You lied on that point truth be known.
I would like the facts on the "clap trap" remark as well WAYL. See, those comments can damage a reputation, which is illegal. I am not a whore and I do not like your reference to such. Facts please. In short, you are a liar.
I look forward to your facts regarding the WECRD financials and my reported "lies." You must be smarter (at least in your own little world anyway) than the attorney/CPA who reviewed all of the WECRD financials. I shall await that proof of my alleged "untruths." For someone who could care less about the WECRD...you sure have a lot of misguided passion on the subject. My guess is you are closer to the issue than you let on.
If you so like to correct your errors, why not start with apologizing to MHN for insinuating they unfairly banned you in censorship of your WECRD position?
I will go back and get the post on the financial issue, that was in the banter box so you can't delete it to help your memory.
Funny how you can't seem to remember past posts when they prove what a liar you are, facts were provided for you several times. Others read them so denying it or being ignorant, won't change it.
Scroll through this blog alone for proof of your most recent machinations of misleading info and lies blaming others for something that wasn't done.
Now that I have proven these things... won't be long before you start deleting you blogs!!!!
You deleted the blog where you tore that young mother a new one, telling her she was worthless as a parent if she felt her kids NEEDED a rec center. And then when she asked you if you were a parent.. your vile rude meanness the you spewed back. I didn't forget it, did I?!!!!
I will never forget the cruelty you have handed out time after time after time to anyone who slightly disagrees with you. Nor have I forgotten your personal private name divulging posts to people you wanted to cause trouble for in public.
So, count on me to read the blogs and comment often, I will continue to monitor you posts and will take every opportunity to prove to all who read these posts what a fount of misinformation, cruelty and lies you spew; and I will be able to do it by copying and pasting your own words!!!!
Once again, the data/reports from which you have made your statements? Not the first time you have been asked. What report was stated in a less than factual manner by me? Come on WAYL...just the facts please. If I am wrong or have stated something that is less than true, I would like to correct my error and review the data for which you have based your statements. Live in reality for just a moment WAYL. You can do it...
You proved nothing really. I read their financials just fine. Get some help.
Proof again, thanks for providing it.
I have proved you threatened two people...several times. I have proved your lies about being banned the first time... and now I have proved that you insinuated that MHN banned you because they are league with the wercd. I was able to prove this last sample of your low moral character only because you provided it in your posts.
It is easy to see that you give out blatantly false information with the intention to mislead people. If you do this on a blog site such as this forum and as you did on this particular subject they EVERY thing you have EVER put out is suspect and most likely twisted false misleading baloney.
side note: I also proved that you can't read or understand a financial report too. Notice you shut up on that tangent when I did too!!!
Perhaps focus on your own mental health for a change. And, if you cannot do that at least make comments based on facts/data which we can check out. We are a research oriented bunch who like to check our own facts and not take the word of another. Can you work from data/facts or is that too hard for you?
WAYL, what facts have you published for review that prove me to be a "clap trap", liar, psychotic, and untruthful regarding the WECRD? Guess we all must have missed that!
You really are unstable. And you will not shut me up but I hope they find you and give you a nice rubber room with a view. Your comments border on psychotic and those of a very sick person. You have not posted 1 single fact to support ANY of your claims---EVER. What have I posted on the WECRD that is not true? Since you know nothing about the WECRD this should be very interesting.
Get some help. You really have gone over the edge. Oh, my post regarding the police was so that you did not assert a defense that you had been in any way set up. As for who you are...I could really care less I just feel that you probably should not be allowed to run the streets of MH in your condition. Passion is one thing but being a nut is another. Trust me when I say I could care less who you are but you do have some issues and you need help. Waiting on you to list my lies and untruths based on fact and data. Have a good night wack-a-doo.
OM, here's an option; if my WRITINGS bother you... ready...STOP BLOGGING, STOP COMMENTING, and you will never read another post from me again. Simple easy solution...
As long as MHN allows me to comment, I Shall.
Wow, you really are losing it... you should add rubber to the walls of your rooms while you are upgrading.
Paranoia and psychosis are definitely signs of mental health issues as well as the apparent deterioration of the mind as represented by your latest post.
******WARNING SIGN ALERT for all those who have believed ANY ACCUSATIONS made toward ANY PEOPLE BOARDS OR ORGANIZATIONS, of any kind FROM OM************
Here is another reason reason to not listen to any information or statements from OM. When confronted with FACTS PROVING HER ACTIONS as the disseminator of misinformation, her mental instability comes to the forefront.
Talk about irrefutable proof... viola !!!!!!
So that we are both on record here, I too have a security system protecting my home and are ever vigilant as a result of your threat to search for my identity. For all who read this, I did not take that threat lightly. She posted for all to read that she had the means and intent.
WAYL, I want you to know that I think you may be a danger to me and I find some of your comments to be offensive and bordering on threats/psychotic. With that said, I plan to make a visit to the ECSD in the morning and file a formal complaint (as instructed by my attorney). You are very unstable and I think you are truly a danger to me. Your comments go beyond "passion" and are really those of a very sick person, IMHO.
With that said and in the intersts of full disclosure we took the liberty of having a security system installed at our home with video. It is pretty cool. It is all remote and there are day/night cameras which send the feed to a remote location. They put these things in trees, fence posts, lights, etc. You do not even know they are there. It is great. It even tells us when someone enters our property and where they are at. Frankly WAYL, you scare the heck out of me and you need some help. So, if you plan to pay a visit to me...smile and say cheese because you are on candid camera...the best money could buy! Few people make my skin crawl like you have. I hope you get to feeling better.
WAYL, you forgot "clap trap." And when I read your posts, I feel the same way. Common ground I guess. You must be back on the booze, drugs or both tonight.
Still waiting on those facts that support your slander...I mean opinions.
Here is a new video. Enjoy.

Crazy, insane, psychotic, etc...are just some of the adjectives that come to mind when reading her posts, as well as liar, dullard, twit and dolt.
WAYL, "boulders and trees" - I like that. That's what it will take to deal with Lauric. Let's see if you can wrap your mind around this one, Lauric. Don't expect other people to behave respectfully and tactfully with you when you have just torched them online. You start the ball of rudeness and disrespect rolling downhill and the ball keeps getting larger and dirtier as it rolls along. Then you act all innocent when people respond to you the same way. "Oh, don't blame me for other people's bad behavior!" Fact is, I do blame you 100%.
midea and the rest of you that support OM, yea she can throw "sticks and stones" well I can throw "boulders and trees"
She started the kids comment and I finished it... poor OM
too harsh? too bad! OM don't throw comments out there that you don't want back ten fold! of course, you can always whine and cry about it...oh yeah you did.
And still NO APOLOGY to MHN for Accusing them of censorship -( with the "nifty 50" co-horts).
OM you put it out there; another example of giving out misinformation by you is substantiated! Again!!!!
You must have also missed my point about the ideas planned for the acreage around the rec center. The WECRD envisions a future "sports complex" where outdoor activities will be be just as important as indoor. You need to think outside your little box of horse and agricultural activities. There is already Optimist Park for a lot of that. The CDLC groups and marketing studies will find out what this town wants and will support. The Y is involved because of the WECRD. They would probably not have given Mtn Home a second look if they hadn't been impressed with the work of the WECRD and the money that has been saved.
An indoor arena, as I stated before but you must have missed my point, could be used by 4-H, MHHS Rodeo, Optimist, the rodeo, etc. It is not just for "people with horses." There are 4-H programs that include sheep, cows, goats and pigs and I am sure they too would use a facility. HS rode/cutting I am sure would also use it (and they did great this year by the way). You are so closed minded Beth and really cannot even begin to think outside of your little box.
Why build a recreation center that is all indoors? Most who live in Idaho, and can be outdoors, like to be out and about not inside. "Possibilities" are nice but where the WECRD is concerned it is all about what THEY want. The needs of the few as opposed to the many.
Go on YouTube and search "poor recreation districts." We are not alone but it does not mean it should be our standard and that we have to put up with it.
The WECRD attended the city budget hearing to see how they did it. In my mind they did not take very good notes and must have spent their time flicking pens and kicking their legs because that is NOT how the city does things. Imagine this entire project without the WECRD Board. That is really the problem.
This board could have proposed a facility that had it "all." Soccer fields, baseball, volleyball, walking paths, picnic areas, etc. and a building (on some scale) with yoga areas, a computer room for the public, arts and crafts, etc. That was not what they did. It has been all about pools-pools-pools even though pools make no money. This is a community project that the community has been cut out of...until the Y came in. If the WECRD continues, the Y could quit and who would really blame them.
I bet if a poll was done of people who have horses in Western Elmore County it would be less than 10% The district purchased 22 acres of land. Their hope is to not only have an indoor recreation center built for those who prefer to exercise indoors and in all those winter months that makes it difficult to exercise outdoors, but in the future to have walking trails, tennis courts and picnic areas surrounding the rec center. The possibilities for both indoor and outdoor recreation are there.
OG, there are a lot of "horsey" people in this community. An indoor facility could also be used for 4-H and Optimist events. The rodeo could also use it. I also know that people would pay to use it. I had horses in Utah and they have indoor arenas there. They are always busy and there are several in small areas (such as Spanish Fork, Utah). I have a facility (arena and round pen at my house) and an indoor arena that I can use. So while I suggested it, I do not need it. I ride year round and wind and snow just do not bother me. You dress for it. A nice place for the kids or older people to use would be nice. We have a lot of older people in this community who ride. We are also starting an equine therapy program here and a facility like that would be nice for that as well. It was just an idea and they do not listen to me anyway.
OG, great comments and thoughts as always and you and I do not even agree on all points. I believe that a recreation center should have recreation for everyone. There should be indoor and outdoor areas because not everyone wants to be in and not everybody wants to be out. If everyone has to pay for it---it should have something for the many and not just the few. IMHO only of course. Take care OG.
OM,
I stand corrected. I am nut sure if an indoor horse arena is needed for out area. I know of one near Spring Creek NV that does not get used as much as it did in the past and I would not wnat that to happen for our town.
You know where I stand on the current board. Time for them to go and if th eY ran the program, the whole town would benefit. IMHO.
OG, it was one of my suggestions for outdoor recreation at that location---but just an idea along with BB fields and areas to picnic or have family gatherings. So, I did say it. Do I need it? No. I have what I need at my house for training horses, etc., built it with MY money and I do not think that my business or "hobby" should be financed by the taxpayers. If I need it for personal use, I pay for it. So OG, sorry but I had thrown it out there but there were other ideas with it. There was a local group of people (I was not involved) who tried to get a facility built. It may still be in the works. Not sure.
BB, as far as your comment regarding there not being enough money without the WECRD. That is not true. We could vote for a new tax once the WECRD is gone just like we did for Marsha's bug program. So, there could be a steady flow of money to support this. However...BB, you have ALWAYS maintained that so many people want this. So...if so many people want this then there should be no probelm selling ALL of the passes needed to fund this. The people who use it should pay for it as opoosed to an acroos the board tax for something that 33% of the community may use. The Caldwell Y does not get tax money. They run off of donations and pass/user fees. So Beth, if all of your pals are so willing to have this then they should be willing to support it. If pass sales fall and prices have to go up they should be willing to take the good with the bad.
I have always said we needed something. The WECRD is the problem. If we can get rid of that and have a partnership between the city, county and the YMCA it would be win-win. I would gladly pay taxes to an operation run by people who know what they are doing. That is NOT the WECRD with the current bard. Talk to 10 people about this project and I bet 8 of those 10 have some very interesting thoughts/reservations regarding the WECRD. The YMCA is not the problem.
And once again from the MHN to all that feel I staged the "ban"...
Funny, nobody else seems to have complained about not being able to get on line and post either.
"Tracy
Please accept my apology for what happen this morning. We are trying to switch over to our new site and have been in meetings and webinars all day. I was not aware that you had been banned. After looking over the list of users there were several others that had been banned also. Unfortunately I think they were users that do not comment very often, with the exception of yours. All users have been re-activated and should now be able to comment and/or blog. I'm sorry for all of the confusion today. If you have any other problems please let me know."
Thank You

BB,
I could be wrong but I think it was others that mentioned an indoor riding arena. How about you provide us where OM said this? For once provide some PROOF of what you say intead of just typing out words. I know I have asked you many times for PROOF but cannot remember a time when you provided that. As for how the money might be spent, would that not be up to the ECCs to decide? That is how things are supposed to work.
Anonymous said...
To all of my fans out there. Just wanted to let all of you know that the shifty 50 have banned me from further comments, on anything, by way of the MHN. I guess when you have things to say about the "elite" (supported by facts/data) of MH and you let the skeletons out of the closet...they place a ban on you. Good luck with the WECRD folks. It has been fun.
Tracy Lauric/OM
OM, of course you have a plan for what to do with the money if the county gets it. We always knew that. You have mentioned several times about an indoor riding arena. The board is right that without a taxing district, there wouldn't be enough revenue to bring a Y to Mtn Home. The almost $600,000 in Federal Appropriations Money would disappear also.
BoomerBeth,
I don't think I have ever read a straightforward answer from you. Why don't you do a recap of the meeting? I think it would be really entertaining to read and then you can get the "truth" out there since the rest of us that were there lied about everything. Refute what is in my recap.
The video is extremely telling about the board! I was appalled at the way Judy burst out at him, it was very disturbing that she felt so powerful to yell at an elderly citizen like that...I still can't believe either that this is them on their best behavior!!! It was impossible to hear them when they spoke to the room, this had nothing to do with him and you cannot blame him for the board not wanting to speak up, what about when they were whispering to one another.
As for putting those two clips together, that isn't grasping at straws. Those two things happened in the same meeting. That was the flavor of the whole meeting. It's like saying your mission is to help the homeless but then later you and a friend drive past a homeless person and they throw a soda out the window at them but you don't stop to correct the situation.
It's kinda sad really. For one, aren't volunteers not supposed to be on here posting about WECRD stuff? Isn't that best saved for the board's public liason? And if you had your eyes open you would have seen how little the board wanted to help even you when you got up and asked for assistance, they each waited for the other to speak up first. Or how condescending and belittling Ms. Sellers was to the other volunteer.
Oops. Forgot something. The behavior of the board (WECRD Board) has been bad since day 1. I have only been involved with this for the last year to year and a half. So, who caused Mollie to behave so poorly in the past?
What is the matter Beth? Nothing in those minutes to help your cause? That video is pretty "telling" (in your words) and without ANY editing. Mollie is a star all on her own and inserts her foot every chance she is allowed.
The 2 clips on the "be quiet" video are from 2 parts of the meeting but were nor edited at all. Why would the WECRD Board have allowed their secretary to speak to a member of the public like that? Mollie had a gavel and beat it on the table that night for every other reason. Why not just ask that the room come to order? Why single 1 member of the public out to the point that he left. Great PR. I am sure that the lady from the Y has enjoyed it as well. Yes, I emailed it to her and will email ALL of the rest as well. Great PR for the Y (but I am sure she knew NOTHING about it because the Y is much smarter than that and all about community...unlike what we have). I refer to the part of the meeting where Mollie states that they cannot give any money to local recreation projects because of the YMCA and Billie had said not to. I wonder if she knows that or if this is just like the HUD documents that listed supporters who did not know they were supporters much less listed in those documents year after year. You will not find those details in the minutes however even though Mr. Bermensolo spoke of his concerns regarding this on the record at a BM. Funny how the important things NEVER make the minutes. Funny how I also never got a copy of the document from that meeting. Funny how my "trial" at the end of that meeting will I am sure make the minutes but how all of the other details are left out. Now that is "TELLING." So Beth, how do you want to combat those facts and my "spin" on the events of the last year or more? Remember, spew only facts and details that we can check out as opposed to your less than fact based opinion----of which you are not even supposed to be posting.
So, on to another point. Everyone keeps asking what will happen to all of the money once this is voted out. Well, it goes to the county and must be used for recreation. We have a plan regarding this which will be introduced soon. Just because the WECRD is gone does NOT mean we have lost the chance for a YMCA here even though that is what Marsha, Mollie and Jana have stated. Where there is a will, there is a way and we are working on that with leaders of this community. More details soon and it does not rely on the WECRD in the least. This can go on without them.
Yes...your bad manners and the bad manners of others is all because of me. You are a joke Beth. For the record, the WECRD Board hangs themselves and needs no help from me. We thought with video going that they would behave better. Nope. Proves our point. The entire meeting will be available on YouTube soon. You can then judge for yourself based on facts.
Be responsible for your own actions Beth unless of course you are 2 again or still.
The reason the older man talked so much was because he could not hear. The man that finally pulled his chair to the front right at the board table was seated in the FRONT row and still could not hear. And (and this is the BEST part) the senior gentleman who was talking so much HAD LEFT THE BUILDING. In Beth's words "telling." It is a problem at every meeting not being able to hear the board. Funny, you can hear them just fine when they get pissy and mad and the AC in their office is off. Imagine that!
From what I know of the WECRD board, they don't appear to NEED any help to look bad.
BTW, regarding the video on the WECRD and seniors. The older man that the secretary asked to be quiet was creating such a disturbance that people couldn't hear what the board was saying. I was sitting right behind him and I couldn't hear what they were saying because the man was talking so much. So the secretary asked him to please be quiet. Big, freaking deal. Lauric has to really grasp at straws in her effort to make the board look bad. But she's a master at it.
You know what it is? Lauric brings out the worst in people. A lot of posters can't stand her so bad that they will jab at her any way they can. She is truly one of the most vile, horrible creatures I have had the displeasure of coming into contact with. But what do you expect from someone who lives their life for the sole purpose of agitating others, lying about others, telling employees they don't do their jobs, ripping down public notices in business offices and on and on. To quote Robin Williams, she is one taco short of a combination plate.
No ones children should ever come up in these blogs and be used as a weapon. That is the lowest of the lowest. I have stepchildren and would be devastated if something happened to them - even if their father and I were separated. Kids live in your home, you care for and love them. Just the way it is. WAYL - your comments have become sick and putrid. I don't understand, and really don't want to understand, why in the world you are on these blogs. I think it is just to pick fights. I don't know. But, you are getting far too deep in trying to jab. Sorry, but your comments are now way out of line and too vile. Really, you have crossed the line.
The WECRD LOVES their seniors. This is a clip from the Wednesday, budget hearing on 8/26/09.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLtBZXqc6...
No tax dollars were spent to provide this information to the citizens of Elmore County, Idaho.
An original "OM" production brought to you in part by Citizens for Truth in Spending Regarding "Mollienomics."
Maybe an Emmy?
Just a guess...but your recent posts are that of a total nut which would make anyone reading your crap to hope you have no children in the home because...well...you are a bit manic at the moment. Just a guess on the part of AFW (sorry AFW if I got that wrong). Common sense WAYL.
And in the interest of full disclosure of my life...I was not married to my husband when his son was killed. He was still married to his first wife who he always blamed for the accident because of what she said to the child right before he was hit by the car. It was a hit and run and changed his life and the life of the other child greatly (they never caught the driver). Anyway...do not want to be called a liar by WAYL for events that were not offered for evidence in WAYL's Court of Nuts/Crazy. I did help to raise the other child and she did stay with us part of the time. But since I did not give birth...according to WAYL...I do not know what it is like to be a parent.
AFW, you have nothing to be sorry for. You have no control over WAYL and the bender he/she is on tonight. We here on this site try not to take things to heart when they come from people like this. I would like those test results on my reported illness because I was in the dark about that and I think my husband would probably like to know that.
AFW you called me harsh but not her.. why? Why is it okay for her to say "WAYL... and I can only hope you do not have kids.-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Fri, Aug 28, 2009, at 8:55 PM "
AFW, Never apologize for me, ever! I meant every word I said to OM. You can apologize for yourself all you want but you have no right to offer an apology for me.
AFW, you haven't read her past post where she used that to try and make herself look better after she had been horribly awful to another poster about her child.
So, you don't have all the info. She then deleted those blogs when she took herself off the site last time.
I don't care about the wercd, but I have read time after time where she has said and done worse to others.
Of course her comment about me having kids is perfectly okay because her husband lost his child. Ask her if she was with her husband at the time of his loss, she implied she was not in one of her post.
But you feel for her because you have a soft heart... just wait, she will turn on you faster than a rabid dog when it suits her purpose.
ALL YOU OM DEFENDERS, before you go ballistic...who brought up the child issue first? Don't dish out what you don't want back.
NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO LOSE A CHILD!
WAYL, That was harsh about her step child. I may have expressed my differences with OM, but that was way out of line. don't drag her family into this an especially the loss of her step child. Because OM for some period raised that child and so in that sense she lost a child. Seriously that was wrong. Her personal life has nothing to do with WERCD or her blog.
OM I hope you accept my apolgy for WAYL. That was harsh and out of line.
Here's a video that I found. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfGFIwx01...
-- Posted by VT on Fri, Aug 28, 2009, at 6:56 PM
maybe you should reread you past posts where you tried to use his loss of his child to make yourself look better, didn't work either. Or are you so sick you are even aware of what you write?
See there you go again using his loss. poor man
oh yea, no propaganda there! NOT!!!!!
They have used stuff like this in countless wars to undermind the fighting forces...didn't work on the strong of heart and mind! However, small minds can believe everything they are forced fed if they want! Whatever works for you clap trap.
Sorry for the insult to all swine as OM pointed out... you are nothing like her.
What? Losing a step-child did not make me feel better. Where do you come up with this garbage? I said his kids were like my kids and I WOULD NEVER throw that up in his face. Just because we are divorced does not mean I hate him. You are really something. Nobody should EVER have to bury a child. You are SICK!!!!! I hope they ban you.
then stop putting it out there bozo.. you really are to stupid for words. Well, I guess I can say thank god you don't have any kids and how lucky your ex is to have dumped you... especially after losing his child- my opinion he had enough punishment being with you and no one should lose a child. Of course, using his loss made you feel better in another post didn't it, sicko.
Clap tray? Are you freaking kidding me? Guess where you can go? Got to the BB you idiot and get it yourself. It was not my posting and I do not have the info you are asking for. FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF!
"Clap trap, oinker out." You are nuts WAYL and I can only hope you do not have kids.
hey clap trap OM, the link you posted doesn't go to any board meeting. Too stupid to give the title for reference or another misleading trip of yours?
Sanctimonious baloney PCbetty
I don't need to go through past post watch your freak friend in action.
We only know of OM getting banned because she ran her mouth to blame censorship, but of course it is all a conspiracy against poor ole OM.
Well you aren't falling far from the monkey tree either, who cares what your opinion of me is, why not get a good look at who your defending and what your defending.
So NOW you are impling that MHN did censor OM, right?
OM, who cares! you have shown yourself to be of low moral character time and time again. Got it!
"'WAYL, it was not my job to report...it was the MHN that should have done it like they do on sooooooooo many other things. As a matter of fact...someone asked them to do just that but I guess they decided not to. Make the call WAYL and get the facts. I did call the MHN when I got the "ban" message. Joy was in a meeting and could not get back to me till later in the day. I gave the MHN a chance to explain. You really are pretty unstable.Oink-Oink.-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Fri, Aug 28, 2009, at 7:45 PM ""
Why should MHN explain to all asunder when they DID NOT ANNOUNCE to all that you were banned? YOU AND YOUR FRIEND did that, MHN kept to the privacy agreement. Seems to me they took that chance and fixed the problem, you are so petty and stupid. Blame blame blame.... you are really a piece of work. cracked and broken ceramic.
And if you can grasp this simple concept: ALL FACTS CAME FROM YOUR AND YOUR FRIENDS POST'S, AIRHEAD!
And a person with no sense of right from worng would have let everyone go on thinking that there was still a ban. A person who lacks "hugs" and values would have never shared the email from the MHN to try to clear up exactly what went on (right from the source). But I am okay with being a dirt bag in your eyes WAYL because I would NEVER want to live up to the low standards that you have clearly set for yourself. Good evening to you.
Gee PC if I did not know better I would think you may have been to a meeting or 2. Great post. Prepare to be insulted and trashed.
WAYL: You have some serious anger issues...you are so quick to throw out some vicious insults at everyone else. You cannot play so innocent and uninvolved because obviously you have some personal vendetta out for some posters here. If you were a little more calm and observant you would realize that OM and others on here rarely throw the first insult (have fun spending hours going through all the posts just to prove me wrong), its usually after explaining for the 1000th time to someone that hasn't bothered to inform themselves one way or another and then calls OM and others names that the words "idiot" and "moron" come out. And yes, I do maintain that if you can't figure it out or at least come back with some real debate and facts to counter anything then you deserve to be called any number of names. Hey look, I said all that without calling you any names (though I do agree with everyone else's terms of endearment for you).
It certainly seems convenient that the MHN had a computer error and yet the only person that we know of that did get banned is OM. No one else seems to have had problems that day.
rhsamp: I hope you do some more research on this before jumping on board with either "side" just for not liking the "naysayers". Conceptually, a recreation building seemed great to most people when it was voted in (take a look at the original ballot and you'll see why). In reality though after all these years and all the terrible management by the board, it no longer seems like a good or practical plan. The budget alone is pretty disturbing, since there are no funds set aside for recreation of any kind but thousands for their shopping and advertising. So please consider that they are using nearly half their revenue now to run a one-person part-time office when the building isn't even built. When they build it "debt-free" they will have nothing left to cover their butt when they are operating at a loss. As they are not a division of the city or county, the only option would be to shut it down or to pass a bond of some kind. The board has not listened to any concerns or suggestions from citizens, even from those not as outspoken as OM.
As a challenge to those who are for it or even on the fence, go to the next meeting, and ask them a question, any question about recreation projects or their spending and see what you think then.
WAYL, it was not my job to report...it was the MHN that should have done it like they do on sooooooooo many other things. As a matter of fact...someone asked them to do just that but I guess they decided not to. Make the call WAYL and get the facts. I did call the MHN when I got the "ban" message.

Moron/WAYL:
It is not my posting but you can bet your bippy that I am involved. Go to the BB and enjoy the show. Do you need a map to get there or did you figure it out? We will post the ENTIRE meeting for you. I am sure Simpson's office will LOVE what Mollie and the board had to say. So, how does DV fall under recreation? It is nice to know where OUR money is going.
OINK OINK!! Pigs are very smart and clean. Thank you for the nice comment. Warms my heart and I love to collect pigs. How did you know?
bozo OM, your letter you posted tells you it was a computer glich... are you too stupid to understand you really weren't banned...?!
What was that about being able to make a simple telephone call to MHN? too stupid for that too?
You are really dense,aren't you? You made a point of letting your friends know you were banned so they could post on the website and blame MHN for censorship because your behavior over the wercd.
Then when you knew IT WAS A MISTAKE AND YOU WEREN'T REALLY BANNNED, you took no action to change the info your friend put out there UNTIL, someone ME called you on it, then you proved it was a mistake. GET IT?
I think you should change you screenname to fit your actions -AbbiNormal. fits.
What is your youtube posting titled?
First off WAYL, you igorant, moronic, impotent fool...I WAS BANNED!!!!! I posted nothing because I WAS BANNED. It is funny that only part of my stuff was removed as opposed to ALL OF IT. Think WAYL with the pea sized fruit on your shoulders. If it truly was a 100% error...ALL of my stuff would have been removed. Before you call me a liar...maybe call the MHN and ask if I called them first thing that morning. Joy was in a meeting and could not take my call so I left her a VM. Later in the day I got an email. Since I work...I did not pick up that email until a day or 2 later.
FYI...I thought the MHN would post the story on what went on. Remember...ERROR OR NOT...I WAS BANNED and could not comment. What part of all of this are you just too stupid to understand. I did not lie but I made a statement based on the ifo I had. Call the MHN and ask perhaps before you call me a liar.
Heads up for those who blog on this site using their real names or if you have a blog on here. Some of the postings get posted on the internet for everyone in the world to read. I googled my name and it brought up some of my posts on here. lol!
OM, when will you realize I dont care one iota about the wecrd, your lack of character makes it hard for one to sit on the sidelines and watch your repeated idiocy without comment and with the added bonus of throwing your baloney back in your face.
Everytime you try to pull me into your horse and pony show... NOT PLAYING PISSY MISSY! not playing at all. Don't care about the wercd.
Do these tapes go back far enough to show your bad behavior? Or are these recent recordings after your rudeness has finally resulted in some backlash? You reap what you sow you old swine.
OM, boo hoo hoo.... you're treated so unfairly. My heart goes out to your pathetic self. Pity galore for you!!!!!
too bad you take no responsiblity for your repeated scurrilous actions.
Oh WAYL...your childish ways. Love the name calling. Dolt? Stupid and foolish?
Samp, you just get right on countering my petition. It is called voting in November. Maybe watch the YouTube clips of the meeting before you decide how awful I really am. Only a "dolt" would make the comments you have without knowing the facts...just like WAYL. BMA WAYL. You are a nut case.
OM, you show your stupidity in abundance once again.
Fine a mistake was made, got that.
When the truth came to you; you and yours kept it to yourselves after having posted throughout this site that it was censorship on the part of the MHN for your ugliness over the wecrd; until someone called you on it. end of story. blah blah blah. Like I said continued lack of character from you and your cronies.
factual info is factual; because you say so is baloney.. most of what you put out there is "because you say so" IMHO, you silly twit.
MsM, Okay, I can respect that position.
WAYL, you MORON! When I went to log in---IT SAID I WAS BANNED!!!! That was all I had to go on since I could not get the MHN on the phone. So, you idiot, to make things really clear for you...when I turned my computer on and went to post...the message that "I had been banned" came up. What else was a person to think based on the facts and what was in PRINT. Twit.
WAYL I don't post for or against on these type blogs. To me it seems a go no where situation. Everyone has their own opinions and it just leads to bickering back and forth.
I did a blog on wild cats coming to my house a while back and I got a blogger who was sure the wild cat's that I was feeding were eating his song birds. We posted back and forth and he still remained the same on his opinion.
I am sure he not only didn't live anywhere close to where I live but didn't even live in MTH as I have not seen a song bird in my yard not now or in the past. lol !
I try not to be a debater unless I have great knowledge on the subject.
Msm, you commented on my statement concern alz, however no comment on the main body of the post, why?
See EE, this is why... So, you will defend my right to say whatever I want the way you do OM? I think not. I don't care about the wecrd, that is your horse and pony show.
On a serious note, I hope you do not have alzheimers or get it in the future. I support the ALZ org. since you have history too, maybe you could use the link for educational purposes or support. However, short term memory loss can be an early warning symptom, education never hurts.
Msm,again my condolences. Your Mother sounded like a fun lively lady. Thanks for sharing her obit with me.
rhsamp, just because you are new here and just started paying has nothing to do with asking all the questions you like and if would be best if you went to some of the WECRD meeting and make an attempt to talk with them and do your own digging to what is going on there and how they respond to the public when they do respond.
WAYN. I have grown just a bit more tried of your trashy mouth to me and other about Alzheimers, you could be much more rude than that and you seem to think everything OM has to say is rude you best take a look in the mirror and look at yourself, all you know how to do is badmouth everyone you disagree with the same as what you have accused OM of. FYI, my Dad also died of Alzheimers and I had a good friend here in Mtn Home that died of it also and I DO NOT HAVE ALZHEIMERS. I will take any more of your comments about to me or anyone else is your are nothing but trash and don't have a clue what goes on with the WECRD, you just want to see how many people you can flap your jaws at and tell them they are so wrong.
WAYL Her full obit is under May along with her picture
WAYL I hope you are sincere in posting the Alzheimer's link ! You can read my Mom's Obit on here Look for Helen Olson (April) Got a pretty picture of her ....
If you lost you mom Msm, My condolences. My link is to hopely help someone who may be showing signs of short term memory loss get factual information and help if needed.
You may rest assured my offer to EE is sincere.
My father has dementia. No disrespect was meant. Early treatment may have helped.
MsM please, this is the first time she has stated since sending her friend an email that MHN banned her as well as posting herself on the site since then, that she has said it was a mistake by MHN. She nor Flowerpot ever corrected what they had put out there- which was -that is was connected to the wecrd or unfair censorship by MHN because of OM's outspoken baloney on the wecrd.
so no holier that thou AFTER you get called on it!!!!!!! I find it proved lack of character. Name out-in-public or not.
WAYL I don't appreciate the Alzheimers criticism
You bring in a whole new ball game.... I just lost my Mother to Alzheimer's in April this year and there are more people in our Nursing Home who have that horrible disease. You should visit at the Nursing Home and see for yourself what Alzheimer's is all about before using it as a way to flame someone !!
oops now I am getting confused...lol ! I went back and reread posts and the one with the time on it was a different letter.
Response to your idiot comment at "-- Posted by Eagle_eye on Fri, Aug 28, 2009, at 3:16 PM"
EE from the banter board.... I know memory and truth are a problem for you, but here again is a reminder.
""boomerbeth, why don't you tell the truth for a change... -- Posted by Eagle_eye on Thu, Aug 27, 2009, at 10:40 AM"
"OH WOW WAYL... For your info I didn't attack boomerbeth... -- Posted by Eagle_eye on Thu, Aug 27, 2009, at 11:48 AM"
EE,
1 hour 48 minutes from the post where you attacked Boomerbeth and called her a liar to where you are telling me you didn't attack her. Humm when it looks, smells and sounds like a pile of rotten baloney; it probably is a rotten pile of baloney. Or Alzheimers!

Here I feel for you this may help:

Alzheimer's Association, early treatment helps.
WAYL It's easy to figure out. ....She emailed Flower because she couldn't post and assumed she was banned from posting.
She posted the letter after she received it and it wasn't until Thursday 5:03 pm that she got the letter. So until she got the letter she assumed along with everyone else that she might have been banned...
"MsM:
Thank you. When people have nothing else to bash a person with (based on fact) they resort to factless comments such as those of AFW and WAYL. People believe that when they use a screen name, and are not known, that they can say anything they want regardless of how untrue it may be. It is sad that WECRD volunteers also have to resort to such things and that the WECRD allows it. "TELLING" as boomerbeth/WECRD volunteer would say.-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Fri, Aug 28, 2009, at 2:41 PM "
PUKE, vomit, another spew of lies.... read you own post twit.
OM, you MORONIC IDIOT BIG MOUTH!!! You weren't banned either, there was a COMPUTER GLICH IN A PROGRAM TRANSFER. This is according to the email you posted. Can't read either can you
And if that is the first email you recieved then why did you email whoever cronie flower blah that MHN had banned you? Humm same old game OM!!!! caught again
Sure NOTICED HOW YOU DIDN'T CORRECT THAT ASSUMPTION UNTIL CALLED ON IT YOU PEA BRAINED DOLT!
UP NOSE OUT EARS TWIT!!!
So who is with me on starting a peition to get this Opinion Missy's petition overturned? I would love to see this rec center come in and would pay to use it, even though I can go to the base. Lets get it built, create some jobs and have some fun. I for one hope it gets done!!!!!!
So I am new here, been looking at all these comments and how you people act and I wonder why on earth did we ever get sent here. I have never in my life seen such ungratful, childish, arrogant people.
I wonder why are you people so against this OM and other and then I wonder why this OM calls names?
EE Just because I am new here, and just now started paying taxes do I qualify to ask questions about this rec district? If not where do I sign up to KEEP IT GOING?????
Ok WAYL; now what do you have to say about who got banned since the e-mail from the News to Tracy has been posted and I wonder where you dig up all your comments against OM, me and others when you don't have a clue to what is going on except you know how to flap your jaws in the breeze like you know it all, so from you book of comments SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!
airforcewive; I don't know where you are living, if on the Base, in town or the county but when you ask where the WECRD office that says you don't have any clue to what is going on there, which states you have never been to a meeting or stopped by there and talked to anyone to form your opinion against others. You probably aren't even a registered vote in Elmore County or especially the Rec District and if you are not a voters here you have no place to comment on anything that goes on with the WECRD and the public. Its like everything else people vote for or against if they didn't vote on it then they have no say in what goes on, in other words I could care less about your comments dealing with the WECRD or anything else here if you don't pay taxes here or vote here you will have to clear that part up where you stand.
Oh, and Beth...here is the email that went with the letter from Judy that did NOT include the document from the budget meeting on Wednesday, August 26, 2009.

WAYL, you are a complete idiot and pretty dishonest. If you are going to call me a liar then please at least provide the proof which has been asked for before. Here is the email that I got from the MHN regarding my "ban." Can your 2 year old mentality grasp it or shall a few of us draw you a picture? Happy reading there WAYL. I am sure if you have further questions the MHN will be more than happy to answer them.
"Tracy
Please accept my apology for what happen this morning. We are trying to switch over to our new site and have been in meetings and webinars all day. I was not aware that you had been banned. After looking over the list of users there were several others that had been banned also. Unfortunately I think they were users that do not comment very often, with the exception of yours. All users have been re-activated and should now be able to comment and/or blog. I'm sorry for all of the confusion today. If you have any other problems please let me know."
Thank You
J. Martinez

WAYL because from my point of view it looked to me like AFW wants to continue the discord that has been going on..........
"AFW I think that was uncalled for the bit about hugging when OM was a child. Stay on topic and leave out your personal opinions towards a poster on here !
-- Posted by MsMarylin on Fri, Aug 28, 2009, at 10:23 AM"
OM Cronie MsM - how gallant of you to correct or say something to this person but staunchly defend or at least making no correcting statements to OM, AD, EE for their posts...... why?
"AFW, you are posting on MY BLOG! -- Posted by OpinionMissy on Thu, Aug 27, 2009, at 9:31 AM "
OM why don't you get your own website, this blog forum is provided to this community by MHN, as YoB says being allowed to use MHN's blog forum is a priviledge not a RIGHT; with a contract and consequences for make threats against others and more.
I don't believe OM was banned for any comments on the wercd... (personally I don't believe she was banned at all just as before- she did it to get attention and hopefully cast a shadow on whoever she wanted to blame or get her cronies to blame for her.--hummm seems to have worked too.)
If she was watched/delayed from commenting for a moment; I believe it was because her threatening several people finally caught up with her.
so all of you OM cronies can just shove whatever spew your going to send my way for my opinions up your noses and blow it our your ears!!!!!!!
AFW I think that was uncalled for the bit about hugging when OM was a child. Stay on topic and leave out your personal opinions towards a poster on here !
OM, glad to see you have an attorney...you might need that in the future if you continue in your ways. I do have a questions though. Were you not hugged enough as a child? Is that why you are so hateful? I just don't get why you can't speak about matters in a civilized manner. It's outrageous how you speak on matters. I am sorry if you weren't hugged enough...I am sending you a big one now! Enjoy it! You would be a lot happier if you would calm down, being wound so tight isn't good. Counseling might help too.
Well I am sure I have a post coming back to me that saying I am a idiot/moron. Because that's what you do or you try and send some condesending email back saying "have a great day" Whatever. I'd tell you not to waste your time, cause I am done reading your BS but you'll do it anyways. so Enjoy!
And...so I am not called a liar, here is a copy of that letter which I got by email on 8/27/09:
Tracy:
In regards to your document request, I will need more information. I was not involved in writing or typing any letter that involved Billie Bernasconi from the Treasure Valley YMCA, so I will need a little more information to determine what you want. Do you have any idea to whom the letter was addressed? That would help a lot. As soon as I hear from you, I will begin my search of letters in the last few months.
Also, in the meeting last evening, I assured you that I would get you a copy of the page posted 8-20-09. You will find a copy enclosed with this letter.
Sincerely,
Judy Erwin, Secretary
Enclosure
Cc: Mollie Marsh
Telling. At least 4 other people saw the notice in the window PRIOR to the meeting and also saw the date on it including Mollie herself. Guess she forgot to inform you of that fact Beth or you just say things without knowing the facts. Untrue statements can get you in trouble and are against the law. Think woman---think.
BB, Nancy was NOT even at the meeting that night. So what are you telling people that I did? Telling? what was telling? That a meeting took place that was not legal and Mollie could not have cared less? Mollie saw the notice in the window when I walked her over to point out the date. I removed the notice from the window so that I could obtain a copy---since the Notice was NOT posted within the required 10 days (pursuant to law). That night, there was nobody up front to make a copy because Charles was playing pit bull with the clipboard and Judy and the board were in the meeting room talking to people. I asked Charles for a copy and was snarled back that he was "busy." He feels it necessary I guess to nearly attack people for their signature on a sign in sheet even after they tell him they are NOT going to sign in.
BB, you should have your facts straight before you state things about a person that are not true and are very misleading.
Did Judy tell you about the letter that was emailed to me and indicated that the document in question was attached but was not. So...in true form...I still have no copy of that document even "with all of those people in the room to "help" me." Why send (via email) a letter to a person and NOT attach the document? True to form with your group. And FYI Beth, as I stated before, the agenda had at the top a notice of hearing/budget hearing.
I never said it was "okay" to take a notice down but when an organization is known for NOT providing info in a timely manner and not posting notice of meetings (pursant to law) then I think it is only fair to try to "preserve" the evidence and facts so to speak because after all...I still have yet to get a copy of the notice in question..."EVEN WITH ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM" (as stated by the board on that night). I took the document down from the window that night---not during the day and a room of people saw the notice in the window prior to the start of the meeting---TO INCLUDE DEAR OLD MOLLIE BY GOLLY!
So Beth, have your facts straight before you open your yap because nothing would bring more joy to my life to sue you and the WECRD for making untrue statements regarding what went on that night and then making those statements in print. The "likes of me." Look in the mirror dear. You go around town talking about how the WECRD has problems and how things could be run better and then from the same mouth state that it is all great. Be more careful who you are talking to or at the very least try to keep your story straight. And FYI Beth...no laws were broken when I took that notice down. Had I been able to obtain a copy---it would have been put right back in the window. When I took the notice down there was nobody in the front room. When I went to Charles in the back room at the door, he snarled at me and said he was busy and never got up from his chair by the door. Those are the facts wise one. Speak not for which you do not know.
Om, so you think it's okay to take down public notices in agency offices? That is very telling. When asked by the secretary at the meeting why you did that you said because there was no one in the office to make a copy of it for you. Two volunteers, Charles and Nancy, were sitting at their desks when you took down the notice. They could have easily made a copy of it for you. You also told the secretary that she did not do her job: she did not post the notice of the budget the required ten days in advance. In fact, she had posted the notice of the meeting 10 days in advance in four different places. What you had in your hand and was waving accusingly at her was the "agenda" for the meeting. Jeez, if you're going to try and persecute someone, at least get your facts straight. As for having some kind of "trial" about you after the meeting: for God's sake, woman! You need to get over yourself! To take a quote from WAYL, your perceived importance in other people's lives is vastly overated. Trust me, the directors have way more important things to talk about than the likes of you. As for you being "done with this subject", yeah, when pigs fly!
YoB,
Here is a thought. Get on the next meeting agenda, when ever that is, and propose your idea of a townhall debate to the board and see if they are game. If they are then figure out who you would want on the other side of the debate, see if they are game and if so, you play mediator or select a third party to do so. No prepared questions for either side and let's see how both sides repsond on the spot.
OM,
Keep up the work you, EE and others have done. Just keep on pressing on.
WECRD,
Try to answer some of the questions with a clear consice answer on the spot and not make the public wait until you have a special meeting to draft a response as in the past.
Yob, not sure what your point was...hmmmmm. I took down the agenda to obtain a copy with the date that was listed at the bottom. It clearly said at the top that is was the Notice of budget hearing and below that was the agenda. My attorney has told me that no laws were broken and I did nothing illegal. If I had done something illegal...I am SURE that Mollie would have had the police at my house last night promptly after my "trial" at the WECRD office which was started after I left the building. Hmmmmmmmm.
OM, I thought it was illegal to take down an agencie's public notice?? I am aware the only thing you took down was an agenda... but you thought it was the budget hearing notice. huuummmm...?
Funny Jackman...I did ask for a copy and still, "with all of those people in the building" (as stated by a board member) never did manage to get a copy of that "notice" which I very clearly asked for but then again---you already knew that and just forgot to mention that part of the story or the "trial" that took place after I had left the building. Mollie could have given me the copy when I talked to her prior to the meeting...but chose not to.
Jackman, you have half of the screen name right for which you use. I am not going to sue anyone for the fall from my horse several years ago that nearly killed me and to state such a thing shows the kind of person you are (I am pretty sure not a person of honor but it was a good shot on your part). As for the "Notice" I did try to get a copy and actually spoke to Mollie directly regarding the matter prior to the meeting. The issue with the sound system is ALWAYS brought up and they are more than aware because it is an issue at every meeting. To close Jackman---it is not MY job to inform these people on how to conduct their meetings. They had their attorney present to guide them for all that was worth. Enjoy your day person of "honor" and respect within our community.
OM.Remember your latest quote "so here is my position I'm done' you state you would not spend one more second , later you said 'you refuse to waste one more minute'Then take how long ? to type your info package to the world. 'Done, second,minute' what! Well I started to read your Letter to the Editor and after the first 5 or 6 words laughed so much I wrapped the cat poop in it. Serious question. What are you going to do with your life when you have finished this mission you are on.?It will end one day and then God forbid you'll be a different person! You'll have nothing to do. WOW! not likely. If you were so outraged about the seating and sound system why did you not stand up and address the situation? Why did you not ask the 2 volunteers for a copy of the notice you took out of the window? they were there and have done that for you before ,just another of many complaints. You do not have an HO ,just your frustrations of people not bowing down to your requests, you state you couldn't hear ,but you heard Marshas comments? Hmmm!obviously you are multi-talented as you heard well enough to take ALL these notes & tell the guy who was behind you..darn you'r good! AD.. I shake my head when reading all your comments you are so quick with the same response to everyone I never called TL or you an idiot/moron, but you do it to many folks Guess your adjectives are limited. You need to re-read what is in print below the "Your comments" . I could be a friend,neighbour, political figure, person of honor(ONLY THE SHADOW KNOWS) so sometimes you may want to put your brain into gear prior to typing your responses. did Ms L mentione to you if sheis gonna sue the Fire Dept for causing her to be unseated from her horse when they used their siren. any input on that AD? AFW, glad to see you have some sense we welcome it. "SOME CAUSE HAPPINESS WHEREVER THEY GO; OTHERS WHENEVER THEY GO"
Way to go OM.... I can feel the voting In Nov already..Cannot wait to see it OFF my taxes...
So here is my meeting recap for you, I'll just touch on the highlights, some have already been addressed by OM but this is what stuck out to me.
The meeting opened with Ms. Sellers giving a remedial PowerPoint presentation to show budget basics. Ms. Marsh gave a statement to explain/justify their budget, but didn't go into detail about any of the items. The floor was opened for public comment. The time was limited to three minutes per person, in opposition to Idaho Statute 31-4332 that says the board is to "explain the proposed budget and hear any and all objections thereto."
The first citizen asked about the CLDC being funded by the WECRD and the need for them to follow Idaho's Open Meeting Laws. They went back and forth (and the discrepancies continued throughout both meetings) because even though they call the CLDC a sub-agency, committee, volunteer group, whatever that will make recommendations to them and one of the board members "participates" in the meetings they don't feel it is considered a government agency (though they will be funded by the WECRD) and are trying to use some loophole that the CLDC is advising the Y who is a contractor, not a government agency. The WECRD doesn't want the CLDC's meetings to be subject to Open Meeting Laws, though I do think that members of the CLDC will be more than happy to work with the public as much as is expected and requested of them (that is until this thing is dissolved).
Another citizen expressed his displeasure with the board's budget and the lack of any recreation programs while making suggestions for programs over the next year that could use the assistance of the Recreation District's funds and gave them further information and examples about sub-agencies and contractors working with government agencies.
I'll leave out OM's comments and experience since she addressed them.
I know I'm missing the next one or two people's comments since I'm going off memory and not my notes. One person questioned the $16,000 in the budget for office supplies and office equipment and suggested more economical ways to purchase equipment. Ms. Sellers responded with her frustration with the wobbly chairs and tables and what all they have had to put up with.
The next citizen had questions regarding the advertising/marketing budget for $10,000 and what their plans were and why so much is set aside for this and only $5,000 for community programs. The board's answer at this point and later in the meeting is that they can't plan any recreation programs since they are working with the Y (though apparently they see no problem spending on advertising and making donations to non-recreation programs). The questions regarding the land lease, irrigation, and utilities were raised. The attorney tried to address this. The revenue off this land is $800 per year after the irrigation is paid for, but the question of extremely high utility bills for the office and whether a portion of this is for the land was not answered. A few other questions were asked about some of their other lines but were not answered. Mollie ended her comments with the gavel.
The next two citizens were (I believe) members of the CLDC. They expressed displeasure at the board's proposed budget but also constructive advice and suggestions for handling their finances better. One of the speakers obviously has much knowledge and experience with accounting as she had a lot of valuable information that would be helpful to the board. During her time the board kept asking Ms. Erwin for the time left on the clock. She was cut off at then end and went to sit down, but then was asked after the board realized their glaring mistake to finish what she had to say. So I guess that if they want to hear what you have to say then you get to have more time, but if they don't like it then they will cut you off or gavel you.
So then Mollie went on to tell everyone her motives when she votes: to help the children, the poor, the elderly, the infirm, etc. They went ahead and passed the budget in full without any modifications after taxpayer input.
AFW, you are posting on MY BLOG! Your choice to read what I write. Your choice. Also your choice to make such an off the wall, factless comment such as above. Your opinion. Cheers!
Becca, I said to myself last night after that meeting that I was done with all of this and would not waste 1 more second of my time on this. However, I feel the need to respond to your blanket comments regarding the meeting last night.
First, the reason that I was so rude last night and talked through portions of the meeting was because the WECRD has a crappy sound system (I am sure that was all part of the plan) and the older gentleman who sat next to me as well as in back of me could not hear what was being said. So, most of that meeting was spent telling the man what was being said. Then, Judy Erwin told the same man to be quiet and he ended up walking out of the meeting. BY LAW, those meetings must be able to be heard by ALL members of the audience. BY LAW yob, not by my rules. They have this problem at EVERY single meeting. One would think if you have a Power Point show or a mic that you would test the equipment prior so that both worked. Well, the board was so prepared for the budget hearing that NEITHER worked. So standard. Oh, and the whispering at the front table by the board so the public cannot hear...OPEN MEETING VIOLATIONS!! Did you not listen in the class that you hosted? Do you think we are all that stupid Mollie, Jana and Marsha? Really! Did a member of the public not pull his chair up close to the table last night because he could NOT HEAR FROM THE FRONT ROW? Come on.
Next. BY LAW, ALL OBJECTIONS to the WECRD budget SHOULD have been heard. BY LAW. They were not. People were cut off, not given their 3.5 minutes or had most of their time taken by a board that has NEVER bothered, in the past, to respond to ANYTHING. See, us "naysayers" ran a stop watch as well and ran it based on a regular 3.5 minute clock. How about Marsha, who was seated next to Judy, asking every 10 seconds "is it time yet?" Love how the stop watch went "ding" when Judy declared it was time.
Next. Notice of the meeting was posted in 2 ways. BY LAW the "Notice" needed to be posted 10 days in advance. Well, contrary to what was stated by Judy Erwin at the meeting last night, there were 2 notices. 1 was dated for 1 date while the other was dated for another and CLEARLY not within that 10 day time period REQUIRED BY LAW. Interestingly enough...another person went to the window while I was speaking, to double check the dates from when we had gone in and looked at them, and it had been changed. I never did get a copy of that document last night as requested.
So, here is my position. I am done! I am going to obtain the last of these signatures and get this turned in. I have NO hope for this project as long as this board is involved. NO HOPE! This board treats the public with such contempt that there will be no mending of fences and working together to make this work. Those are the facts.
Some of the board attended the city budget hearing to see how a budget hearing is run. Well, I guess you either did not pay attention or you just did not care because no city meetings are ever run like that "circus" last night. You should be ashamed, all 4 of you.
So, the facts.
There will be no money donated to any recreation projects because the WECRD is now involved with the YMCA.
A gift basket was "donated" by the board and the taxpayers to the Domestic Violence group. They threw in a WECRD blanket as well.
They approved the budget as it was---$467,000 and DID NOT include a line item for recreation projects as was asked for by several members of the public and they blamed this on Billie B. from the YMCA in Boise.
The ECC's want the WECRD to hire an environmental attorney (the WECRD was asked to pay for it) to review the documents on the property before the ECC's would sign off on being the "responsible entity." The board debated the issue and said they would have to talk to Betty Ashcraft about it (I was unaware that she was now a board member and had any say on how money was spent other than the summer concerts she asks for money for year after year and is handed check after check for). HUD could be "responsible" for the money and it would cost the taxpayers of Elmore County NOTHING! They are the experts on this. So why spend the money at all if HUD can do the same thing? Why? Why? Why?
New office furniture! What they have is "old" and they want new. Someone said they should go to the Youth Ranch and get some new stuff. Marsha was all for this. Well, why would you go and get more used. mismatched stuff if that is already what you have? Why even waste the money? Why?
So in short my mission now is to get this done. I do not have ANY HOPE that this will work out under the current dictatorship in place. There is no hope. This board has contempt for the public that has given to them in the form of taxes for years with no results. The WECRD Board has ABSOLUTE contempt for the public that pays their way. This project is supposed to be about the community but it is really all about this board and what they want. Why is there a $467,000 budget for a project that has just started over and is under the control of the YMCA and the CDLC? Building/Land Development for over $200,000.00 for a project on "hold?"
We got to listen to Marsha say how much she has to put up with being on the board and how much her husband likes her being on the board. Poor Marsha.
We will have the petition at AFAD and as always copies of information for people to review.
There is no hope and I refuse to waste one more minute on this. There is no hope. This project is doomed because of the actions of these 3 people and several people took the time to state just that.
The entire meeting was taped (by several people) and will be available soon for you to view and judge for yourself. It may be like watching a silent movie without captions. As I said, see it for yourself soon and then say how "childish" we are because we have the NERVE to question a project after 10 years and that we have the NERVE to question how our taxdollars are spent. Who would have thought that was a crime. Maybe focus on some of the misrepresentations made by the WECRD in federal documents which are signed by the board. Just my HO based on the facts right in front of me.
Hopeless. 100% hopeless. Come on November!

I sure don't get all this hatefulness. We have way bigger issues in the world then why OM got banished or who likes her or not. Aren't we all adults on here. Seriously. what is the matter with everyone. This is so high school and juvenile. I would expect this behavior from children. If OM is so great at speaking out about her views on WECRD then go to blogspot and start a blog. It can be found on the google website. Then all of you who can't go to the meetings can read about her posts there. But come on. This is so juvenile. I don't need anyone writing me back saying "oh AFW your an idiot/moron cause you just wrote this" Just let it be my two cents and move on. Pass on to OM that she can start her own blog on her own space. Cheers!
Way to be adults.
JACKMAN, I have talked to OM about toning down the name calling to get a point across without calling names but I forgot to tell myself the same thing I asked of someone else, JACKMAN, you are an idiot/moron that doesn't have a clue in what research, meeting that a number of people have attended besides OM. OM has called it right when talking to a person like you, YOU ARE AND IDIOT..
Flower Power: "She cannot blog or make comments. I guess she got a bit to close to the truth and they shut her down. Why they left her blog up is anybodys guess. To those who say OM is a "dirt bag"she has more morals and values and sense of right an wrong than anybody that I have ever met before. When a media group, such as the MHN abolishes a persons right to speak and inform the public things must be pretty bad." - I would like to say that it is a PRIVlLIGE to have a blog to write about what ever I like... not a right. Ms. Lauric has every right to speak about this issue and write LTEs.
The WECRD has NEVER made any credible claim to support that Ms. Lauric is anything less than truthful regarding her facts." --I have, I have brought up numerous examples where Ms. Lauric twisted the facts or misunderstood them.
JAckman:
Many people cannot make Wednesday meetings due to church or work. So MANY of us are thankful that she has taken on the WERCD and I am thankful for those who have been out and about getting signatures and being at the park all day getting signature. If you would attend the meeting you would see that they will NOT answer your question straight out or give you the correct information. I have been there down that and OM has hit it right on the head about the WERCD members.. Lets get this done and VOTE IT OUT>>>>>>>
If Ms.Lauric has been shut down for some reason, fine by me. I have caught her wrath full face. If many of you only go by what she says and are "true followers" why for goodness sake aren't you at the meetings with her? I see the same familiar faces, not new ones with a War Chant for her. Maybe it's time to ask each other if she is so single minded and involved with EVERY part of the community ie. WECRD, Hosp. School abd the Nuke plant where does she find the time to have Jobs? and for heavens' sake what is her next project in her line of fire to destroy..Imagine Ms. Lauric if you were for SOMETHING for this town..something GOOD, maybe everyone would applaud you , you have the total make up of a PittBull I'd ask you to try and be happy and nice for a change,but that would be against your grain. Expect you'll Phone someone else to blog the meeting notice tonight.. smile it gives you face something to do!
maybe we all should call or start a petation for the MHN to get tracy back on.. I miss her already...
Lucky45, No. I am her friend however. So that must make me mean and brain damaged also in your eyes. I will consider myself in the best of company all things considered.
Hello all! I just found out about this and took some time to read everything in order to understand but I'm no closer to understanding. I am hot-want-to-hit-something mad. (Watch out kids! Momma ain't happy!)
Tracy does post it the way she sees it. I have always, always respected her opinion. I have always read what she writes and to be perfectly honest, which I always am, I don't agree with everything. However, she has never been disrespectful in any way to me. Even if she disagrees with me, she has done so in a strong but respectful manner.
However, as all of you know, there are many who express their opinions passionately and occasionally during that emotion, people can get hot-headed and call others names. There have been a few times that I have been the target of that emotion. This is not a social gathering! This is grown-up thought-provoking stuff. It is about passionate beliefs! It is about lives and happiness. It is about the future of our families! And though the words we write are not life-altering or shaking the world to its core, it is pretty damn important words to be written. This is something to us! All of us who read it, comment on it and write about it! We came to this paper knowing that we are exposing ourselves, laying open what we think and believe for others to examine. That is courageous and scarey!
So with that in mind, I am appalled that any of us would be banned for stating facts no matter how many noses get put out of joint or how many sensitive feelings may be hurt. This is our forum to express. OM has every right to express. Tracy, I am honored to share this forum with you. You keep on stating the facts no matter what. I understand how much we put on the line when we do it and everytime we do it, it is our strength to keep hanging on to the freedoms that the Constitution has afforded us. We will continue to prevail with every letter typed! You will continue, Tracy! I stand with you, sister, always!
Take heart, Missy. You're in pretty good company. The "UPPER LEVELS of the left" are also trying to ban free speech through their new "media Czar" Mark Lloyd, who is out to silence Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh and anyone else speaking against anything the mainstream media endorses.
Listen kiddo.......they can spout and do whatever warms 'em up..........but they CAN'T stop the clock. November's comin.'
There is a national awakening that I think will filter down to the local levels as well. I think the average "John and Jane Q. Citizen" has just about had enough, and when they starting voting DOWN these bad bills, and start voting OUT the rift-raft at ALL levels, things ARE gonna "change" but not they way the DNC promoted it! Hang in there!
airforcewive/moron,
So let me get this straight. If you are for something that OM is against you can be snide and "hateful" but if you're her then you cant be? Ok got it. Thanks for clearing that up. Glad that you are the language police. What are you people so weak that you can't take being called a name? Is that what you focus on? A person that wants the rec center no matter what IS a moron. The thing that you morons don't like is that some tax payers want to know that the money is being spent properly on something that can be sustained. Not just some big ol albatross that we'll still be paying for when you pcs and talk about how you helped get a rec center in MTN HM. I couldn't be happier that she's back and all you idiots got your lil bubble burst when they recanted. It truly made me laugh out loud to picture the crestfallen haters weeping at the realization that she isn't banned. Poor wittle babies.
I'm weary of the quibbling...Lead, Follow, or get the Hell out of the way of people who are trying to get something done. If they fail, you can brag. If they succeed, you can benefit. If they break even, you can produce a thesis on how to identify the point of diminishing returns.
Flowerpower1 are you an OM one and the same?
So I see that her post is back on this blog entry and it was removed earlier.
From living here I have learned that the MHN only does what good for them and doing stories that only make them sell more papers. I know people who have written letters to the editor and did not get in any papers at all. They pick and choose who they want in the paper and it looks like it is getting that way on the blogg too.
Bashing? Starting to sound just like her. Snide? I guess it can be stated that Tracy/OM is pretty outspoken and that her tactics can be thought of by some as snide or rude. But on the other side of the coin there has been plenty of name calling toward her with no facts to back up what people have stated and it is all because she brought this WECRD thing to the public and made all of the ugly stuff known. Now, she is banned. They got what they wanted but why? People need to focus on that and worry about why they were so quick to shut her up. What are they afraid of if she is just another rabid dog and a liar?
If being respectfull of others is what caused OM to be banned then there are alot of others that should have been banned also. I have been called names and insulted by more than one poster on here.
You all are starting to sound just like her....in that I mean with the bashing, why do all of you think that you have to be snide to get a point across.
To me it looks like Airforcewive has no thick skin, to let to dumb words like that hurt her ego from OM.. If cannot take the basting then not log in and talk to her how hard is that..
Again Flowerpower1 it's just a matter of being tactful, you can express all of your opinions and let people know your thoughts on this matter but being hateful isn't the way to urge people your "thoughts" are the correct ones. Your opinions and the opinions of OM are necessarily the opinions of others.
You know Air Force you may not have liked or approved of how she said things but she had the facts to back things up and the WECRD could . I would worry less about the words and worry more about what is going on. There are alot of people who can't attend these meetings and rely on her telling us what is going on. A ban is not going to stop the flow of information it will just make it harder for the moment to deliver. Look at the responses from the WECRD on things. Disgusting.
It kind of made Tracy's point for her. If nothing else, this should open peoples eyes to what is going on here within our community. It has made a very sad statement. I am sure her blog will be removed soon as well they just have not made it that far yet.
So, was it the MH school district issue? Was it the WECRD issue? The truth will always prevail and a ban is not going to stop the debate. If anything it will make people really look at what is going on. HAR must have some pull but that is not going to stop Tracy. So are they going to ban her from the hearing on the WECRD budget now? If you ask me she is on to something.
There is a way to say it respectfully and not bash people. If OM would just talk like a normal human being it wouldn't be a problem. She has personally called me a "Moron" and an "Idiot" for just stating my opinion. She has her right to an opinion and so do I. But let's do it respectfully. If they did shut her down, good. She needed a wake up call. You can't go around publically bashing people. Again there is my two cents. If she can come on here and talk respectfully I am open to her doing that.
I would like to know why the MHN would stop her from telling all of us the truth about the WRECD district. SOme of us cannot make the meeting and relize on her going and telling us on the blog.
SO is MHN telling people they are on WERCD and molly/marsha side to shut her up.. We could all band together and not buy newspapers till she gets her rights to blog back.
She cannot blog or make comments. I guess she got a bit to close to the truth and they shut her down. Why they left her blog up is anybodys guess. To those who say OM is a "dirt bag"she has more morals and values and sense of right an wrong than anybody that I have ever met before. When a media group, such as the MHN abolishes a persons right to speak and inform the public things must be pretty bad.
The WECRD has NEVER made any credible claim to support that Ms. Lauric is anything less than truthful regarding her facts. I am not involved in this WECRD thing but after this little stunt you can be sure that I will attend the nearly half million dollar budget hearing on the 26th. She got my attention and I plan to ask some questions. So this is Smallville and how things are done.
Just remember that you could be next. So while you may think this is funny you just lost a great resource for information regardless of what you thought about the person. It speaks toward the charachter of this community.
Her blog is still here. So she can still blog I take it. I do see that all her comments are gone. Is it a time out ban or permanent?
Got an email from OM today. The MHN has banned her and she is no longer able to comment.
You go, girl. You provide facts, but some people refuse to see the gigantic hole in the road in front of them. I hope there is a great turnout at the hearing. I hope to be there.
Yep HAR, I am one mean, nasty against anything good for EC person and I say what I say under my own name. I have noticed that few, if any, WECRD supporters have come out, with their own names, to support this wonderful taxing burden on here. Telling. No weekly LTE's to state how great this is. Why? Because nobody wants to be associated with this mess much less named as a "supporter" of this Mickey Mouse Club of 10 years. Spare me the contempt that you seem to have for me. In 5 years, maybe sooner, you will thank me. As for if I "like" Mollie or not...it has nothing to do with how I feel about her. I will tell you that when I asked her face to face about the GreenPlay Report, she lied to me. When I asked about specifics regarding the building and the WECRD's plans for a facility I was lied to over and over again. When I go into their office to obtain copies of documents I and people in my group and other groups are only given part of the info but are told what we are given is "all of it." Why would a government entitiy who are being "honest" do such dishonest things? Why? It is pretty obvious that if a person does the research they will find out that info is missing. If you want to blame someone---blame Mollie by golly who continues the game of Twister (twist this and that to fit an agenda). Be mad that these 3 people, because of ego, will ruin a great project for this ENTIRE COMMUNITY! Direct your anger where it belongs perhaps. I did not lead this bunch down this path---THEY DID!
AD, few have yet to master debate based on facts which is why little of what I state is ever refuted. Hard to refute statements which are based on facts. Nobody likes to be called a fool. Cannot wait until the budget hearing on Wednesday.
Imagine that. A critic that has not one single fact to refute what you are saying? You're a bad person because you don't want to save the children. What project has the WECRD held for the children or donated to in eight years? $1,300,000 in the bank? Over ONE MILLION dollars and they can't spend $50,000 a year say for recreation in this town. The world would cease to exist if they gave $100,000. They say how bad recreation is needed here but I guess that it's just needed when the building is finished in five or ten years. So can we blame any here-to-fore drug problems and delinquency that our youth have on the failure of the WECRD to not only build a facility but also their Scrooge like stinginess for anything that is not WECRD? C'mon HAR lets hear some rebuttal of some kind. Not just what a bad person anyone against is. Or could it be that the bad people are the people that get over four hundred thousand dollars from the tax payers that is specifically to be spent on recreation and refuse in their almighty wisdom? What possible reason could they have for not allocating some money for local recreation?
This plan, it seems....is a failure already in your eyes. Now you are suggesting (allowing) the YMCA to work with "new People"? So, do you want a YMCA or dont' you? I'm glad your not in charge! Whew!
I've heard it said to "Never" use the word "Never"...for there is no such thing. Not all folks in our area will be or are in favor of a YMCA. That is ok. And those of us that are in favor or plan to be in favor of a YMCA...well that is ok too.
I've been reading your comments throughout. You are not being wholesomely truthful. You don't like Mollie, do you?
And....don't you dare speak for me on behalf of this community. What a horrible thing you are doing here. It's horrible. Its good to have critque in special projects. You show no goodness in your intentions within your blogs. There is no level ground on this subject with you...is there?
I'm not sure you are suppose to being using copyrighted material in this blog setting by the way. Better do some homework! You are also being very defaming and disrespectful to others. You are so full of hate that you are not always making any sense.
You are not caught up with the care of a YMCA.....only yourself...I'm not giving you one more bit of attention....except to hopefully have you permanently taken off this or any other blog related to Mollie!
And to all the rest of us reading these horrible blogs. Don't get caught up with the blind leading the blind. She talks big! Each of us have a brain and intelligence....maturity I hope and most importantly a heart and soul.... Don't let her insult yours.
