THE TRUTH YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS TOWARD THE END.

My name is Stephanie DeYoung. If you want to know more about my involvement in this case, go to my deposition...

Currently, I believe I am the only person who had the priviledge of an all day deposition in front of Tonkon Torp's camera man. Now when I see some of the ridiculous questions I was asked to answer, I still get blown away by their blatant disregard for human rights.

Bankruptcy Corruption

I am the creator of this Summit 1031 Bankruptcy Blog. I am an Industry Insider as an accountant, real estate investor, and an LLC interest holder.

I am also a Whistleblower and an Investigative Blogger.

These new titles were made possible by simply recording and sharing the events that I was a part of with the victims of this bankruptcy proceeding.

I have sold this blog to Crystal L. Cox. You may know that she is an Investigative Blogger, Whistleblower and Industry Insider as a real estate broker. She stumbled on my blog and in doing so she has stumbled upon many other cases of Bankruptcy Corruption across our country.

In fact, there are many who have lost everything to this mechanism our government has created as a perfect looting tool. The powers of people like, the attorneys, judges, US Trustees offices, and the politicians keep this highway robbery undercover.

She has asked me to speak the whole truth so here we go...

Below is a story from a person who was a completely unbiased party -

"About the Summit Accomodators- Kevin Padrick Video
http://www.summit1031bkjustice.com/?page_id=254

ABOUT the infamous Padrick meeting video, when I first viewed it I didn't think it all that remarkable. Being ignorant of the facts at the time, I thought Kevin Padrick in this meeting, simply just gave a rundown of what he and his company, Obsidian Finance Group, had been up against in the month previous, and toward the end of the video it appeared that he pitched, with some practiced assurance I thought, how he and his company took pride in cleaning up distressed business situations.

As I began to become aware of the facts and the chronology of events preceding and following this meeting, my perspective changed; I came to see this video in terms of a betrayal as demonstrated by Kevin Padrick's defensive behavior toward the other parties around that table.

I also came to see how this video could be viewed as an embarrassment to the members of Obsidian Finance Group, the attorneys and others working along with Padrick and even the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The scene viewed from a more informed point of view, whether one is for or against Kevin Padrick, is not pretty. He is, in this performance, much like a house cat spitting up the canary's feathers.

The behavior he resorts to in the video, in regard to the others, is in my estimation, an unnecessary act on his part, but none the less a telling display of the low character he stooped to with his surreptitious behavior toward, what up to that point had been, his employer, Terry Vance, and by extension Summit's Principals who were working their tails off to assist Terry in liquidating assets and wrapping up exchange business.

For me, the most revealing thing about the video was the last thing I learned- that this meeting in Bend was compelled by the Bankruptcy Judge a day earlier in Portland.

The Judge had learned, from a last minute appearance by one of Summit's representatives at a court hearing, that Padrick had not been keeping Summit's owners and the court approved Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) informed of his actions. Actions that included Padrick's apparently self initiated and unauthorized actions with the creditors.

A little background: the CRO, Terry Vance, was contracted by Summit Shareholder’s (owners) as a part of a “debtor in possession” bankruptcy.

This person, approved by the court, is in charge of all affairs related to Summit’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy, including the contract with the financial consultants, in this case Obsidian Finance Group and Kevin Padrick.

In other words, for all intents and purposes, at this meeting and from the time Padrick and his Obsidian Finance Group had been contracted a month or so earlier, Terry Vance was Kevin Padrick's boss.

Kevin, it turned out, and as shown on the video, was an untrustworthy employee who had some time earlier, perhaps even from day one, made it his job to usurp his boss, disregard his contractual obligations and find his own way within the bankruptcy system, with his knowledge as a former bankruptcy lawyer, to gain the best position he and his company could to take financial advantage of this unfortunate situation.

Simply put, Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance were Bankruptcy Profiteering.

The meeting, authorized by Judge Dunn, was to be presented by Padrick to his CRO boss and Summit's owners as a recap of Padrick's (unauthorized) meeting(s) with the creditors, it is important to remember, at that point Padrick, who had been initially contacted by the Summit's owners prior to to the bankruptcy filing, and now managed under contract to the CRO was not in any way beholden to the creditors, other than promises he made them behind his employers back.

In fact by contract, Padrick's and Obsidians role was to assist in liquidating assets, in order for Summit to pay back exchangers/creditors under the Chapter 11 reorganization agreement. His role at the time was not to meet with the creditors, throw his employers under the bus and then back over them again when they complained.

If the person from Summit hadn't of scrambled and jumped a last minute flight over the Cascades to Portland to see what was going on, this unscrupulous employee would have gotten his boss fired and had his unwanted contract made irrelevant (which he succeeded in doing) and the people he screwed wouldn't have heard the backup signal for what it was.

No wonder in the video, one of the first thing heard
from Kevin is his voice crying,"Depose me then."

A comment that took the CRO and Summit's owners
by surprise (they'd merely asked, what's up?),

I don't believe an actual recap of Padrick's meeting with the creditors happened (if he had treated the creditors to the same charm he displays in the video, I doubt Padrick would have gained enough favor to collect gas money for his ride home, let alone be nominated by the creditors for the Trustee position).

It is interesting to note; the only way to compare meetings would be to compare records of both meetings. The closest thing to a record of Padrick's court compelled meeting with the CRO and Summit's owners is the video.

Justice would be served, if by means of discovery in a complaint Padrick lodged with Deschutes County against the video's existence, that a transcript(s) of Padrick's meetings with the creditors in the month prior to this meeting were compelled to be produced- to see by comparison if Padrick was in compliance with the Bankruptcy Court's wishes in providing information on what he presented to the exchanger/creditors.

At the time of the meeting neither any representative, nor the CRO, nor any of Summit's owners were, as far they knew, in an adversarial relationship with Padrick.

They were, as shown in the video, clearly a bit mystified by the lack of communication to accorded to them on Padrick's part. To their knowledge, he and his company were supposedly working on Summit's behalf to assist in liquidating Summit's assets- nothing more.

The video was made as far as the CRO and Summit's owners and their representatives knew, as much to record their comments in regard to each other's relationship to working toward liquidation of real estate assets and full payment to the creditors, as it was to pin down Padrick to what he had been doing the past month in behalf of this endeavor.

The CRO and the owners were at this time, in their minds, still all working with each other toward this end- including Padrick under the CRO's charge- all the parties, as evidenced by the video, were still on the same team. In other words, no body by making this video was implicitly trying to trap nobody.

It was Padrick's defensive demeanor during that meeting that first gave an indication to the CRO and Summit's owners of his newly revealed disposition as not being in concert with their plans to execute this bankruptcy and pay off the creditors.

Later, when the totality of Padrick's subterfuge and ultimate ambition toward gaining the lucrative Trustee position was revealed to the CRO and Summit's owners, then was the negative impact of his behavior to them understood.

They felt (and still do) that Padrick purposely crashed this business, a business that with his cooperation could have been crash landed instead.

A scenario where all exchanger/creditors would have been paid already.

It was, in retrospect, a few weeks after this meeting, that an animosity toward Padrick did arise. Where upon the video, made of that critical meeting, was reviewed in a completely different light.

From my vantage point, absent the eventual revelation of facts in this story, the video could just as well have been made into a marketing tool for Padrick and Obsidian Finance.

To an initiate of this story, like I once was, where Kevin allows himself to speak, the words sound convincing; as one puts the pieces together over time, a discovery is made; those sentiments are constructed on a ruse, his premises are fabricated to support an argument he doesn't and perhaps can't really believe in, and from the actions he has taken since in regard to ridiculously accusing Umpqua Bank for improprieties in its business dealings with Summit, one has to suppose that he was not completely honest with the creditors in their meetings either.

The facts and the truth they represent, is for Padrick in his unscrupulous ascendancy to the role of Trustee in this case, a big problem. Discovering these facts with a need to reconstruct the truth, for the rest of us, is what makes this video so important to this story."

In the other bankruptcy corruption cases, the money was all gone by the time anyone had evidence to prove the looting had occurred.

As a CPA, I find it absurd that this bankruptcy system has absolutely no accountability built into it. They simply name a trustee and give him or her all the power to loot for many years and tell the creditors and the debtors that it is in everyones best interests' to give up transparency and accountability so that the court can make this move quickly so the creditors get paid back.

You are probably assumming that I just have some sort of vendetta. Well I don't.

I just don't like it when someone says they are working in the best interests' of the creditors, but their actions show otherwise. Pretty simple right!

You promise to take care of my creditors, then your actions should support this. Don't you all feel deceived when someone says they are going to help you and then they kill you?

It goes a step further, they don't service their clients in an accountable fashion. When you listen to the audio, look to yourself and see what you see. What if you were the 200 exchangers that have NO VOICE?

What if you were the debtors who were looking for help to pay creditors back and instead got Kevin Padrick? This is a problem that is much much bigger than this little story here.

There are many United States Citizens who are suffering from the aftermath of these asset rich bankruptcies. That is the Bigger Issue.

For our Nation to ignore this we are lying to ourselves about the ability for our Government to protect our money and our rights. I think it is more focused on their inability to protect our money and our rights.

How many creditors have even been contacted by Obsidian or Kevin Padrick?

How much information have you been given on this case?

In The 1031 Tax Group, LLC bankruptcy case, the Trustee sends out newsletters and lots of other information to this bankruptcy estate's creditors...

See for yourself and go to
http://trustee1031taxgroup.com/

Why doesn't the Summit 1031 bankruptcy trustee have to do the same?

Why aren't they required to be this transparent?

Why are the creditors sitting out there with relatively NO INFORMATION?

In fact, this Summit Blog, www.Summit1031BkJustices.com has more information than any given by Kevin Padrick to date.

Then we have Andrew Moore of the Bend Bulletin writing very heavily weighted articles in Kevin Padrick's favor. Wonder why?

Andrew Moore points out loans being made (this information coming straight from Kevin Padrick). Andrew Moore doesn't write that these loans have been paid off....Oh and the estate got approx 800K from the sale of his highland house.

BUT THANKS Andrew Moore for mentioning the Summit 1031 Blog...117 pages were pulled on Valentine's day. Record for a Sunday!

In a letter by Neuman written either late August or early September 2009 posted at http://www.summit1031bkjustice.com/ — a Web site operated by Neuman's daughter, Stephanie Studebaker-DeYoung — Neuman wrote that “I'm truly sorry for the pain it has caused all of the exchangers. I can only sincerely hope and pray that the assets we provided and any other monies available will result in the exchangers being made whole.”

I have to give you credit Andrew Moore for ending the article with the TRUTH...

"Bend resident Jack Robson, a creditor who initially lost roughly $50,000, says he thinks the return would be greater if there weren't so many attorneys involved. But he's not upset with Summit, he said."

“At the end of day, some people have lost a good portion of their retirement, and that sucks, but there is no malice involved in my experience,” Robson said. “They made poor decisions, and certainly who would have thought this would have been a possible outcome?”"

A ton has happened since my last post which I will share with you now. However, I think we need to first pay attention to the timeline and sequence of events...

1/1/08 - Summit 1031 held approximately $100 Million in exchanger funds. Of this $100 Million, approximately $73 Million was in Cash and $27 Million was in the form of Short-Term loans to various LLC's holding real property.

These LLC's had many investors (106 to be exact). Andrew Moore from the Bend Bulletin repeately says they had 100 or so LLC's. Well you would think an investigative reporter would get the real numbers right? Can't blame poor Andrew, he is influenced by the power and money of Kevin Padrick, so he reports what Kevin Padrick wants the people to hear.

There were only 30 or so LLCs holding real property that Summit Principals had an interest in. The other LLC's they keep referring to were set up to do reverse exchanges.

The Summit Principals had ownership interest in these LLC's only as Qualified Intermediaries. Meaning these LLCs held exchanger properties only. A separate LLC is set up for each reverse exchange.

So we are really only talking about 30 LLC's. All these LLCs had multiple members. The LLC's were liable for the short-term loans from Inland and understood there were responsible for interest and payoffs. Many of the loans Andrew Moore Mentioned in his most recent reporting were all paid back with interest.

Why doesn't Mr. Andrew Moore report this? Well Kevin Padrick wants the public to think these monies went out and never came back in...then you will stay mad at the Summit Principals.

DID YOU KNOW KEVIN PADRICK WAS,
EFFECTIVELY, HIRED BY SUMMIT PRINCIPALS
PRIOR TO SUMMITS FILING
CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY
ON 12/18/08?????

Around 12/7/08 - Kevin Padrick meets with Summit Principals - Well yes they did.

You see Kevin Padrick met with the Summit principals in early December 2008. By talking with the Summit Principals about this meeting, it looks like Kevin was more than willing to help them with their liquidity crisis.

Kevin Padrick said his company, Obsidian Finance Group, LLC, was the best at helping save distressed businesses like Summit Accommodators, Inc. Good news right?

Kevin Padrick said he had partners with DEEP POCKETS who would help fund the short-term liquidity issues. At this meeting, Summit Principals explained the business of short-term lending, told Kevin Padrick about the properties they were willing to hand over and about the $14 Million of cash that was in the Summit bank account. At no time during this meeting did Kevin Padrick even mention the words fraud, ponzi scheme, embezzlement, or illegal.

After this meeting with Kevin Padrick, the Summit Principals approached Summit 1031's bankrupcty attorneys, Sussman Shank, with the posibility of contracting with Obsidian Finance since they seem to be the best has helping distressed businesses.

Sussman Shank agreed that it would be a good idea to contract with Kevin Padrick and his company. However, the contract should be signed after a Chief Restructuring Officer is put into place (after they filed bankrupcty)

12/18/08 Summit 1031 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy - DIP "debtor in possession" reorganization. In this type of bankruptcy a Chief Restructuring Officer is named and he is the "acting boss" of the reorganization to payback the exchangers.

It wasn't until the bankruptcy was filed and Terry Vance was named CRO, that the official contract to hire Obsidian Finance Group, LLC was signed by Terry Vance and Kevin Padrick.

"Click Here to See Contract Between Obsidian Finance Group & Summit 1031"

The Summit Principals chose a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy because they thought this was they way their creditors would get paid back quickly according to their attorneys and according to the financial consultants at Obsidian Finance Group.

12/19/08 - end of December 2008 - Summit Principals gathered all the information and willingly gave it to there supposed saviors, Obsidian Finance Group. Ewan Rose, said thanks, we will get you our proposal within the week. No proposal was ever delivered.

Early February - Kevin Padrick makes a presentation to the Creditors' Committee. What? Thought they were supposed to be getting the proposal to the debtors NOT the creditors??? Jeez this stuff is so confusing.

2/11/09 - Summit 1031 Bankruptcy Hearing where Creditors' Committee is pushing to replace Terry Vance as CRO with Kevin Padrick as CRO. Lucky for Kevin Padrick, at this hearing Judge Randall Dunn 's idea to resolve the matter at hand is to appoint a liquidating trustee.

It wasn't until yesterday that I received the legal document from The 1031 Tax Group, LLC case that says, "The appointment of a chapter 11 trustee is an extraordinary measure". After going back and listening to the audio from this hearing, it seems to me that this appointment of a chapter 11 trustee was originally presented by Judge Randall Dunn.

Kevin Padrick has stated in his declaration under penalty and perjury that Doc 551 "8. Ms Studebaker-DeYoung has also posted on her website what appears to be an audio recording that she made during an official court hearing proceeding, in violation of Court local rules"

From Transcript:

"Judge Dunn - Let's talk about the joint motion of the debtor and the official committe of unsecured creditors to substitute Obsidian Finance Group LLC for Mr. Vance as Chief Restructuring Officer and I have a limited objection from the US Trustee, requesting some additional time to see if this is the proper road or whether I ought to be appointing a chapter 11 trustee and I have a middle ground suggestion for the parties consideration and we may not get there today...WHY DON'T WE APPOINT OBSIDIAN AS TRUSTEE????

Ms. Vivienne Popperl (attorney for US Trustee) - Sorry your honor but that is a decision for our office to make.

Judge Dunn - I understand that so I am throwing it out as something that you should consider.
Ms. Vivienne Popperl - We will certainly consider that, but at this time we're very concerned about who is really directing this case. At the moment it appears to be the professionals.

Judge Dunn - It doesn't appear that way, there's no question the professionals are directing this case. There's no one else in the driver's seat.

Ms. Vivienne Popperl - Which is why we need a trustee and that is why we request a little extra time to get a motion and appropriate memorandum before the Court and we certainly will consider Obsidian, but we will consider other canidates as well.

Judge Dunn - Well, well, that's fine, but I'm not sure I need additional memorandum. I think that needs to be discussed with debtor's counsel and Obsidian and the committee and see where we come out. I understand why you would move for appointment under section is it 1112, whatever section and I'll ??? with that. But I think the parties should talk and do what makes sense here, but certainly if the creditors' committee has evaluated Obsidian's work to date and their potential for future work...that's going to weigh strongly in the Courts consideration in terms of the interests' of creditors and I do agree that we need someone clearly in control of the ship of state?? that is functioning in effect as a trustee would so in the absence of further direction I really would like to see Obsidian named as chapter 11 trustee, but I leave that for the parties to argue out.

Ms. Vivienne Popperl - Well then would the Court entertain an oral motion directing the US Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee or do we need to file a written motion?

Judge Dunn - Well I want to here from the parties and their respective positions on that, but I don't want to trample on the US Trustee's office perogatives either so if you would be offended by such an order based on an oral motion, I'm not going to do it, but I just am suggesting that it makes sense to consider it. Mr. Padrick's here...Is Obsidian oppossed to serving in the position officially as chapter 11 trustee.

Kevin Padrick - No Your Honor subject to the parties desires.

Judge Dunn - Right so that's something I want the parties to talk about and consider because frankly at least my review of the situation with respect to the case as to what's going on...having Obsidian functioning officially in the position of chapter 11 trustee solves a multitude of problems, but what do I know?"

Steve Hedburg (Lead Attorney at Perkins Coie and worked under Kevin Padrick at Miller Nash back in the day) - Steve Hedberg seems up to help out with the appointment of Obsdian no matter what other's concerns are due to the vote on the creditor's committee. This committee is only made up of about 5% of the creditors. Did the group of creditors understand the ramifications of converting to a liquidating trust? Steve Hedberg rambles on about how creditors are voting for Obsidian no matter what guidelines are followed Obsdian will be trustee.

I can't even spend the energy typing the rest of this now. BUT I did run into another interesting tidbit of discussion between Ms Vivienne Popperl and Judge Dunn...

Cont. Transcript...

"Ms Vivienne Popperl - Your Honor I’d just like to bring to the courts attention that the Court had been granted an oral motion. I want to make sure that the Court feels comfortable having done it with no notice because 1104(a) does say that a request of a party in interest or the United States trustee, and after notice and a hearing, the court shall appoint a trustee - WELL THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN NOW Did it?

They act as if they are following the procedures, but they willy nilly throw them out the door when they don't fit their agenda. Is this whate they mean by Highest Fiduciary Duty.

DON'T Miss Clicking Here for the Audio - Click Here for Judge Randall Dunn Abruptly decides to Appoint a Trustee

Here Ms. Vivienne Popperal is referring to Title 11 U.S.C US Bankrupcty Code Section 1014 (a)

§ 1104. Appointment of trustee or examiner

(a) At any time after the commencement of the case but before confirmation of a plan, on request of a party in interest or the United States trustee, and after notice and a hearing, the court shall order the appointment of a trustee—

(1) for cause, including fraud, dishonesty, incompetence, or gross mismanagement of the affairs of the debtor by current management, either before or after the commencement of the case, or similar cause, but not including the number of holders of securities of the debtor or the amount of assets or liabilities of the debtor; (didn't apply to Summit, unless they are talking about Sussman Shank and Obsidian Finance??)

(2) if such appointment is in the interests of creditors, any equity security holders, and other interests of the estate, without regard to the number of holders of securities of the debtor or the amount of assets or liabilities of the debtor; or (this is very arguable)

(3) if grounds exist to convert or dismiss the case under section 1112, but the court determines that the appointment of a trustee or an examiner is in the best interests of creditors and the estate. (doesn't look like it applies to Summit)

Please See Attached. It also says "The appointment of a chapter 11 trustee is an extraordinary measure" and the it "should be the exception, rather than the rule". "The decision to appoint a chapter 11 trustee is a factual determination entrusted to the discretion of the bankruptcy judge".

I bet the US Department of Justice knows
this proceeding did not follow the legal procedures.

After listening to this circle of players go on and on about replacing the Chief Restructuring Officer, Terry Vance, with Obsidian as Trustee. Seems everyone is in agreement right? Only Brian Steven's attorney, Foraker seems to be mind boggled by the happenstance of this hearing.

Who was representing the Debtor? Who was representing the 200 creditors?

They decided this in a matter of moments and they seemed to all really like the idea. Why follow any procedures? Who cares about who is doing the job? Who cares about anybody? Seems like they are havin a good time entertaining themselves with how do you get Obsidian in Control of the Estate and the Assets???? For my common sense brain this is So Confusing.

In Sharon Steel Corp "the standard gives the.... court discretion to appoint a trustee when doing so would serve the parties' and estate's interests". In Ionosphere Clubs, Inc. the standard for appointment of a trustee should be...... "facilitation of a reorganizatoin that will benefit both the creditors and the debtors".

Courts have considered several factors including "the benefits derived by the appointment of a trustee, balanced against the cost of appointment".

It seems to me this was a rather rash decision and it was happening no matter what happened at this hearing. What are your thoughts?

Did you think that was it??? No there is more...

As you can hear for yourselves, the Judge says we can have this presentation...

I worked out the schedule with Kevin Padrick & the Summit Principals to hold the Presentation at the Summit Bend Office at 10:00AM on 2/12/09. Kevin Padrick was an hour late to the presentation. There was much discussed about the bankruptcy proceedings during this hour of waiting amoungs some other fun chatter. I forgot I had the camera on the webcam for the duration of Kevin Padrick's tardiness.

There is no way I could have scripted the discussions and events that occurred. I like that it is an accurate representation of what what going on at that point in time and how there was a HUGE disconnect between what Terry Vance and the Summit Principals knew and what the Portland courtroom was basing motions and orders on.

Why weren't Terry Vance and Summit Principals able to have their own say about appointing a Chapter 11 Trustee. Susan Ford did not represent Terry Vance, she just spoke for him.

Also why is there not a conflict of interests for the Debtor's Attorney, Sussman Shank, to serve as counsel for the Liquidating Trustee, Kevin Padrick??? Seems a slight conflict, but what do I know.

The Hearing was on 02/11/09.
We had the presentation on 02/12/09.

The night of 2/11/09 I researched on the internet about this type of situation where I ran across the recording of court authorized meetings that were semi-public (Since Judge Dunn said all interested Parties would be interested in this presentation and from this, I believed I was able to come that it was a semi-public meeting. You can record a semi-public meeting if the camera equipment was not concealed. I did not conceal the camera equipment.

Kevin Padrick reported by so-called "illegal recording" to the Bend Police department in July 2009, just after he noticed it was on the Summit Blog. After some investigation and checking with my attorney we found out the investigation was going nowhere.

On January 5, 2010 I received notice that I was being charged with 2 misdemeanors of "illegal communication" related to the recording and the divulging of this recording.

Besides the fact that the investigation is stale, there are a few issues that seem fishy regarding why the DA incorrectly filed this claim.

A. The officer thought I told him, in July 2009, that I set up the recording computer in the "middle of the conference table". The officer apparantly next, thinks he found an inconsistency because he said it was readily apparrent that I set up the device on the "back counter behind the Summit Principals."

I think the officer erred twice here.

1. The device was facing Obsidian (the three people who are complaining (Kevin Padrick, Ewan Rose, & Ryan Norwood) - thus it was unconcealed, even by the officer's standard.

2. The officer did not follow me (comprehend me (understand the importance of what I was saying)) when he interviewed me 4 months after the recording, in that he did not correctly quote me where I told him how the computer was set up. My own package of evidence should have jogged his memory.

B. Padrick, Rose, and Norwood were the only individuals interviewed by the officer besides me.

It seems that an unbiased officer (or rather an officer that was not being harangued by some powerful attorneys) would have interviewed Terry Vance and the other people who saw where I set up the computer.

It looks like the first Deschutes County Deputy, likely contacted by Obsidian Finance, probably closed his investigation without criminal finding against me. Obsidian next pushed the Bend Police officer to follow up over 5 months after Padrick's initial complaint.

Next, the officer passed the buck (not a common practice) to the District Attorney's office without a citing or closing the case.

Next, because the District Attorney's office (who also probably initially declined the case) to follow up. In other words, in all likelihood, at every step of the process, Obsidian had to resurrect the case, that otherwise would have remained close, by pressing things.

Part one:

Tim: The big thing is that you get the sound not so much the picture.

Stephanie: Ok, and so is it.

Brian: Is Kevin not coming here?

Tim: No, he’s coming here.

Stephanie: He’s just running late.

Tim: Ewan and Ryan are here already.

Stephanie: Here. Jan. Jan.

Stephanie gives the camera to Jan.

Brian: My attorney, two days ago, said it is a done deal. Obsidian is going to be - and start working on a relationship here. I was like; I mean what a change yesterday.

Tim: They made that change.

Mark: Well, I kind of got a little bit of the same thing…yah know. I just said, I am not in favor of these guys, I don’t trust them. I don’t trust them a bit. They are expensive as hell. They haven’t shown us one thing and he’s (Bankruptcy Attorney) kind of giving me the, “O.K, well I could say that”, yah know, “Are you sure you want me to say that?” (Mark to the attorney). You guys are screwing us anyway on everything, so whatever.

Stephanie: But the main thing is that the Judge can decide, right? So he (Judge Dunn) has the ear of the committee right now and the committee wants these guys (Obsidian), so unless there’s some good reason why…

Tim: Yeah, and we just need to be very objective in our analysis of it and...

Stephanie: Yes, we can’t be. Yah know…it’s just gotta be…here’s the deal and look at this in the business way of why it will not work or why it would work.

Mark: I think unless they got something…I don’t know what they could have.

Stephanie: But the $100,000 is considered a retainer that you guys paid so it’s not gone and it would go towards whatever or it would be refunded. I asked the Judge!

Brian: Well most of it’s gone.

Mark: Most of it’s gone.

Stephanie: Most of it’s gone already?

Mark: Yah, they’re going to get paid. They’ve already agreed.

Brian: It’s was like $60, probably like $80 now.

Tim: Oh, do you know that?

Brian: I heard them say $60 and after this hearing, this meeting here and you’ve got three guys here, yah know

Mark: Yah, that thing is not going away.

Jan: Well is it like anything else? Upfront they say what all this is going to cost so that at the end you’re not going, ok that’s the bill? Where is it that you can…?

Mark: They need to do a budget. How do you do it without a budget?

Jan: …say give us an estimate?

Stephanie: The thing is so...Vivienne is going to…I need to contact Vivienne with our concerns and what things we have today ASAP so that is our only focus – K?

Mark: Do you have Obsidian’s agreement? I meant to grab it…

Brian: I bet you I do?

Brian leaves the room

Tim: I have it. Just one copy of it, but.

Mark: That’s ok; I just need it for…

Stephanie walks around the table.

Tim: I mean this is all we have is kind of this outline…it’s very little detail.

Mark: No, no, no their…Oh, oh yah, yah…that’s what I want.

Jan: Brian’s got something he is holding...

Brian comes in

Stephanie: This has a camera on it. You need to leave this and tell them not to mind this. I already asked Terry and he said fine, bring it in.

Jan: OK

Mark: Is it really pointed in the right direction.

Jan: So this is taping now?

Stephanie: Yah, it’s taping now.

Brian to Tim: You know what I don’t like about this agreement…was just this one paragraph here about. That they are supposed to be engaged by the company and giving us…

Stephanie: Brian can you sit over there?

Brian: Do I get to be on TV that way?

Stephanie: No, do you want to be on TV?

Brian: No.

Jan: We want them to be on?

Stephanie: Yes.

Jan: Ok. Steph, do you want to sit here and I can sit?

Stephanie: No.

Mark: Make sure Lane sits there.

Brian Leaves

Jan: Tim’s very calming.

Stephanie: Yah, I know.

Tim. But yah know, when I am on the edge, when I flip over, I’m not pretty.

Laugh

Tim: Mark’s probably seen me a couple oft times, but yah know, I can go on a rant pretty easy.

Mark: I don’t mind it if it’s not directed at me. When it’s directed at me, I don’t really like it that much.

Laugh – Stephanie Leaves

Mark: This is the paragraph that concerns the hell out of me.

“It is not one of OFG’s right to be paid from the Summit Estate for all matters not directly related to the assets such as general services, tax related services, including claims mitigation and claims and distribution calculations.

Further, all services not directly related to the collection of the assets such as providing testimony, responding to subpoenas and other forms of discovery participating at the request of the advisory committee and any other groups and sub-groups of creditors in identification of third-party claims shall be OFG’s standard.”

Terry Vance Comes In

Mark: And my question is - What’s the budget there? You must have estimated what this is going to be.

Jan: Yeah get the number, what’s it gonna cost?

Mark: That could be a huge number, but I am still saying, just by landing this job at 15%, doing nothing but listing all this with realtors. If you say the cash proceeds are $10 Million, it’s almost $1 Million bucks for doing nothing. They don’t have to do anything. It’s already whatever it’s worth. It’s built in. Just for accepting the offers. Terry, if I’m in jail on August 14th, are you going to call and wish me a happy birthday?

Terry Laughs

Mark: You should.

Terry: Send you the proverbial cake?

Mark: Yah

Stephanie: So, do you think you could attend?

Terry: I can do anything I want

Stephanie: I want to know if you want to attend.

Terry: Well, it’s going to be interesting.

Stephanie: I think it would be beneficial if you attended.

Mark: I think it keeps it real honest.

Terry: That’s an impossibility!

Mark: Laugh, ok…

Terry: Maybe it will improve my perspective.

Jan: Do you think somebody needs to be writing anything?

Stephanie: I am. I’m typing.

Mark: I am too.

Terry: Do you got it on now?

Stephanie: Yah.

Terry: So you’re just recording it right?

Mark: You being here it just helps with accountability.

Jan: Enough people are here listening.

Mark: Is Kate (Brian’s daughter) coming? Did they invite Kate?

Kate Enters

Stephanie: She is trying to find me.

Kate: Oh, there you are.

Kate gives Stephanie Coffee

Stephanie: Thank you.

Jan Leaves

Terry: Who are we waiting for?

Tim: Kevin, I think?

Stephanie: Kevin. He said he was caught in Sunriver due to the snow.

Mark: Apparently, he is not very experienced in snow.

Stephanie: Or maybe...he might have been driving back this morning. I couldn’t tell.

Terry: He doesn’t drive, I don’t think.

Stephanie: He doesn’t?

Tim: He flies.

Terry: He flies.

Stephanie: Oh, maybe he was flying back this morning.

Mark: Maybe, there’s fog down there.

Tim: Quite often.

Mark: That could be. Seriously!

Stephanie: He said 10. Oh it’s 10.

Mark: Well you guys…do you just feel like nothing is true in life after Arod? Can’t trust anybody!
Jan Enters

Tim: Baseball, its.

Mark: Miguel Tahatta pleads guilty to lying about his teammate using steroids.

Tim: I think America’s pass time needs to become Lacrosse

Terry: Yep.

Tim: Much premier sport.

Terry: Yep.

Jan: And the Phelps thing just makes me so mad.

Tim: Baseball has effectively de-throned themselves as America’s pastime.

Terry: They sure as hell have, haven’t they? They’ve pretty well killed themselves.

Mark: But you know.

Terry: Any I thought Selig comments were really stupid.

Tim: I never thought him to be much of a leader.

Mark: Who Selig. Yah, he sure gets paid a lot of money for leaving an all star game in a tie.

Terry: No kidding.

Mark: You can’t do that. Yah, you know….I don’t know. You gotta just go we’re cleaning this up. You gotta take that error and just go we can’t count this error or anybody…

Terry: Who the hell cares? I mean realistically. How do you know Babe Ruth wasn’t on something rather than just the bottle?

Tim: Cigars and bottle.

Laugh

Terry: Exactly.

Tim: Because they didn’t have synthetic steroids then.

Mark: I don’t think I’d care if it didn’t make such a significant difference in their performance. I mean all of a sudden, these guys are hitting 70 or whatever home runs a year and stuff.

Jan: Laughs

Mark: You can take these guys and look at them and go Ok this isn’t right.

Terry: Who’s that character from the Denver, Broncos? Oh a Romanosky…Jesus…I mean he was one of the first, I think?

Tim: Was he?

Mark: I think all the Steelers were and they’re all dead. That’s what you get.

Brian and Stephanie Enter

Tim: Don’t leave the Raiders out of that discussion.

Mark: No, no.

Stephanie: He’s running another 10-15 minutes late.

Stephanie picks up the laptop and is working on it

Mark: You know what they are doing today…this is just mind boggling. The South Carolina detectives…they’ve arrested 8 people.

Jan to Stephanie: So this thing has a camera on it…oh yah…there we are.

Part Two

Stephanie sets camera up on back counter and situates it.

Mark to Stephanie: So you think…I mean Vivienne is a pain in the ass!

Stephanie: I think she’s OK. I mean she came and searched me out.

Mark: But, but Vivienne…whispering…

Stephanie: The only thing I am concerned about is that it is taking so much time already.

Mark: It’s taking so much time. I am going to put that back on Susan (Susan Ford of Sussman Shank). I mean it’s like you haven’t even set up a Conduit for us to transfer assets. In fact, you said no.

Terry: Well part of the reason for that was to make sure there was some stipulation or agreement by the creditors’ committee. That they weren’t just going to start attaching everything. That’s all part of the 105 Injunction.

Mark: So was there any talk yesterday about the whole Tennant thing.

Terry: That’s where the biggest problem is in terms of blocking this whole mess. As far as I’m concerned it came right out of the creditors’ committee, of which, Obsidian has been totally responding to the creditors’ committee.

Mark: Right.

Stephanie: Right, but the Judge seemed to say that unless you guys…basically the creditors’ committee convinced that Obsidian will do the job they say they are going to do and they’ve given them a presentation and they had a vote.

Mark: I talked to one of them…well I didn’t but that one (creditor – Rolland Andrews) – Scott (Scott Adams) said he was going “At that presentation they gave us some bull shit. They are expensive as hell. I don’t even understand what all these people want.” He’s on the creditors’ committee and he sees it.

Stephanie: So anyhow, we have to figure out a way to get this (whole mess) into the right hands if we can.

Jan: Seems like the person or the party who’s spent the most time actually hands on knows the most and should be…

Stephanie: And Susan did agree with…I said that Terry has a working knowledge. He’s been working there (Summit) day in and day out trying to find out what’s going on here.

Jan: I mean that’s a slam dunk. He knows more…

Stephanie: She (Susan Ford) reiterated the same thing and no one seemed to have a problem except this Tennant group because they can’t get what they want

Terry: Exactly.

Stephanie: So now they want to just appoint a Trustee so that they can just to get things going.
Terry: You know it would have been a long time ago if they would have just gotten out of the way.

Mark: How come no one brings this up at the hearings?

Terry: I don’t understand that.

Mark: Why do we have attorneys who sit there and can’t even bring it up as an issue?

Jan: It makes you feel like you should be present at all of this stuff if it’s in Portland.

Stephanie: Well that’s why I think…I don’t know…be there because when I went there the attorneys did bare minimum for you guys.

Tim: How long was the hearing, yesterday?

Stephanie: An hour and…

Terry: Did they even address the injunction?

Stephanie: K what’s what’s…No. I don’t think so.

Terry: The original reason for that meeting or the hearing yesterday was to rule on the injunction…

Tim: To extend it.

Terry: Well extend the TRO and figure out whether…

Stephanie: They did it. They did do an extension of the TRO. Then the talked…the only things that they had on there was that and whether to get you (Terry) out and Obsidian in.

Terry: Well I guess the extension was the TRO. I’m not sure of the injunction.

Mark: You know Bob (Bob Vanden Bos - Mark’s bankruptcy attorney) calls me up yesterday and says, “Well I need to know if you agree to extend the injunction or not. What do you want me to do?” Do I have a choice Bob? “Well if you say no, they’ll just do this and that.” Why are you wasting your time calling me and asking me anything?

Tim: He has to sign it.

Mark: I know it’s just a ridiculous conversation we’re having right now. I get tired of you asking me all this shit that I don’t have a choice on.

Stephanie: Well so anyhow he gave me something to sign that would give me power of attorney to do whatever

Tim: Who, Bob Vanden Bos?

Mark: Well I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

Laugh

Terry to Mark: You gave her power of attorney?

Tim: Now we have a whole different worry.

Laugh

Stephanie: He’s all – “Are you sure you want this job?” I said, well I don’t know.

Tim: I got a whole new worry now.

Stephanie: Whatever.

Mark: Yah at the next hearing we’ll have the Santa Rosa police there going “Let me tell you about this one.”

Stephanie: Hey, if I wouldn’t have gone there yesterday this would have gone through the Trustee (US Trustee) quick and you guys have no say.

Jan: And what’s it looking like to them when nobody is there to…I mean does it look like…well I guess they don’t care and their not.

Tim: Why can’t we get better advice from our attorneys?

Jan: It’s frustrating that way.

Mark: I mean we pay them a lot of money and…

Stephanie: When Bob called me back after I told him why I need to be there (at the hearing) and he said “OK” and he got off the phone and he talked to Summit’s bankruptcy attorneys and they said “It wouldn’t be a good idea she comes…they are going to choose Obsidian anyway. There’s just no way.” I said you know I have been told…

Mark: Susan is such a…she can be pushed around.

Stephanie: It was the guy attorney.

Tim: Oh, Tom (Tom Stilley)

Mark: Tom

Stephanie: I said - Ok I have been told several times by attorneys what will and will not happen and I don’t believe that they always know and so I am going to go down there and
I want to at least be there present so that if there is a chance and something happens, great, but if nothing happens then I don’t lose anything.

Jan: You have to try.

Mark: I think there is a pattern of what they tell you is going to take place…they’re wrong every time so why do we…

Tim: They’re guessing and they control things in a controlling environment.

Stephanie: My experience is with attorneys is they always tell you what is bad that is going to happen and sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t.

Terry: Do you have considerable experience?

Mark: Yah, there you go Terry. Good question.

Stephanie: That’s why I’m not scared to go over there.

Tim: Terry, don’t go there.

Laugh

Mark: You don’t want it to get dark.

Laugh

Tim: You know I did this stuff with the trucking company that filed bankruptcy, we used Barry at Sussman Shank and he said, “I understand there wasn’t a criminal aspect and I understand there wasn’t the amount of money”

Mark: Well let’s bring Barry back.

Tim: He said “You go and you explain openly to everybody where you’re at and what you’re trying to do and that you’re doing the best that you can. If anyone has questions for your attorney, have them call me.” I think my retainer for their services was $5,000 and he gave me $250 back when it was all done. Granted it wasn’t the scope of all this, but it’s…what diffused a lot of people was me saying look I’m not running away, I’m doing everything I can to take care of this problem and you know you can fight it but al it’s going to do is throw us in bankruptcy. Well, of course, we are already in bankruptcy but it seems to me like that face and saying…

Mark: Nobody knows that we’re not running away.

Terry: And because the Judge quoted directly from my affidavit at the previous hearing regarding…then and he asked both the creditors’ committee and Susan and Tom, “Why the hell we can’t get something done. It says right here…Mr. Vance said right here that the debtor…all of the principals are cooperating to the best of their ability and they’re willing to make every effort.”

Stephanie: And they reiterated that yesterday too.

Mark: But that’s who they aught to be asking…Susan…because I just don’t believe she takes charge of this. She gets moved around by everybody and I even saw it that day with Vivienne where she just buckles.

Stephanie: She did do an OK job presenting and she validated the points I had brought up as far as you (Terry) and the work you’ve done. She reiterated it with the Judge. She kind of supported me up there when I wasn’t yah know but…I don’t know. I don’t know what their job is exactly to do.

Mark: Their job is just to get paid.

Tim: I think that’s another reason why we have to be there, if not for ourselves, it also holds her accountable, but it also gives her something to support instead of just going with whatever direction things seem to be going.

Mark: I think you’re right. I think it holds her accountable while we’re there.

Stephanie: And the Judge seemed to want to get this resolved quickly. Like sooner than this date..they set a court date for the 20th…Umm…

Mark: It’s the end of the extension of the TRO.

Stephanie: Right, but he wants to figure out the trustee deal prior to that except for Wednesday.

Terry: Except for Wednesday?

Stephanie: He’s gone Wednesday or something.

Mark: You know one of my biggest fears is that…like in these LLC’s…that all of our partners who are innocent parties to this whole thing just get run over. That’s just a huge concern to me.

Terry: Run over by?

Mark: By whoever the Trustee is…they just go into these LLC’s and they want you to just sign your rights over and then we get control and we do whatever we want. I just want someone with the best results…

Terry: Well isn’t that defined in the operating agreement, though?

Stephanie: It is.

Mark: Well yah but my attorney is going…well no you know there’s operating agreements…I pointed out…

Stephanie: But their going to get in default.

Mark: I pointed out that like on Smith Brothers…if I assign it, I don’t have any ownership. I want to ask Kevin specifically about Smith Brothers…I’m going to ask him about Century Drive Mobile Home Park…If he knows that if we assign our interests’ that it immediately puts them in default.

Stephanie: I asked him about that and he kind of pushed it aside, but said that “There are ways to deal with that.” So I want to know exactly what ways you say there are to deal with that because he says, “The seller doesn’t always get the property.” How do they not when you’re in default?

Mark: When I look at Century Drive Mobile Home Park…it’s like ok…put it on the market…can we get anything for it? Why are you putting it at risk if we’re cooperating…just leave it where it’s at…let’s see if we can sell it for an amount to get some money to the creditors.

Tim: And preserves the interests’ of our partners.

Mark: Right, right.

Kevin Enters

Kevin: Hi gentleman and ladies.

Stephanie: Hi. Come on in. Those are your seats. I will get the rest of the men. Ran into ice and fog?

Kevin: Yes.

Stephanie: That’s always a challenge.

Kevin: I had to get the plane out of Aurora. Umm. Ok so who are we meeting with?

Tim: Well I think the four principals will be here and this is Jan Neuman, Mark’s wife.

Jan: Mark’s wife.

Kevin: OK.

Tim: And then Stephanie Studebaker, Mark’s daughter, who was at the hearing yesterday and spoke on our behalf I guess.

Kevin: K.

Long Pause

Kevin: Terry do you have a minute?

Terry: Yep!

Kevin Exits with Terry

Long Pause- Stephanie Enters

Stephanie: Brian’s missing in action. (Laugh) I don’t know where he is.

Tim: He needs to come in and this meeting needs to get started.

Mark: He’s hard to track.

Jan: He was just in his office with Kate just a minute ago.

Stephanie Exits

Mark: He was lost in an airport for over two hours.

Ewan: You know one of our, both of our principals have the same issues.

Ryan: They are not the easiest guys to find.

Mark: That’s one of my best stories. I gave up looking for him so I went to the bathroom. All of a sudden I heard a cell phone ring and he answers it in the stall next to me.

Laugh

Long Wait and Chatter

Stephanie, Kevin, and Terry Enter

Stephanie: So we have to organize the meeting…in order to have Terry here right now we have to organize this meeting into two parts…One part is an interview…

Stephanie: And we can have Terry here in on that…

Kevin: No, No…for neither or those parts. I just got done saying that…for neither of those parts. If you want to ask questions about what we’re doing in the case, I’m happy to have that with everybody.

Stephanie: Ok. That’s what we’re doing first.

Kevin: If you have a question about that, but if you want to do an interview or have a presentation. I want to do that separately.

Stephanie: Ok. So that part we’ll do second. The first will be whatever you just said we could do with Terry.

Kevin: If you have questions about what we’re doing in the case, I’m happy to answer them.

Stephanie closes door

Stephanie: Ok, who wants to start with questions about the case?

Crystal L. Cox

Broker Owner of Ten Lakes Realty,
an Independent Full Service Real Estate Company.

Ten Lakes Realty, established 2001, in Eureka Montana.
Crystal Cox is a 4th generation Northwest Montanan.

Crystal L Cox, Quit the National Association of Realtors long ago when it was discovered the Realtor Association is not in place to protect the consumer rights but rather to Protect their own best interest as well the interests of their prominent members.

Who then protects the consumer in a real estate transaction? Crystal L Cox, Real Estate Broker, realized that there was a need to educate the consumer regarding the real estate transcation. In fact armed with the correction information it becomes possible to complete a real estate transaction without a "Qualified Realtor" claiming fiduciary responsibility.

.

After all, would you trust a virtual stranger with what could be the most important purchase of your life, Your Home. Just because they hold the title "Realtor". It is not a real Qualification as you will find.

.

Why not represent yourself? Crystal Cox knows, get educated, NO ONE cares more about you, your life and preserving your investment than you! The money you save not paying commission to a "Realtor" will more than pay for your education.

.

The Definition of Realtor, This is a hoot!

The term REALTOR® identifies a licensed professional in real estate who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®.

Not all licensed real estate brokers and salespersons are members of the National Association, and only those who are, can identify themselves as REALTORS®.

Realtors conduct their business and activities

in accordance

with a Strict Code of Ethics.

For example, as agents in a real estate transaction, licensed brokers and salespersons are prohibited by law from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. A request from the home seller or landlord to act in a discriminatory manner in the sale, lease or rental cannot legally be fulfilled by the real estate professional.

If anyone besides a REALTOR knows this to be true you are one of the few, a with rare experience indeed.

To become a "Realtor" (and you better pronounce the trademark word correctly "REAL_TOR"), to become a Realtor all you need is money. Pay the Man and your in. That is all it takes to Qualify you as a professional acting in accordance with a "strict Code of Ethics". Go the the club house meetings, the play pretend award ceremonies, make nicey nice with the competition, everyone knows they would walk over the top of you for the almighty buck.
.

It's funny to hear the grousings in the back of the room at one of these events or "awards lunchons" Remarks such as "Oh he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth". or "He doesn't need that". "His Daddy paved the way for him". This room full of sharkes are your respected colleagues? Bull. they despise one another. They stick together in a group to protect each others butts, NOT for the benefit of You the consumer.
.

Ask anyone who ever had a Problem Real Estate Transaction, if it was resolved in a satisfactory manner by an Association of Realtors? You will not find anyone, I can guarantee it. Realtors Protect only themselves.
.

Yes, Crystal L. Cox the Broker of Ten Lakes Realty in Eureka Montana.

Crystal Cox Proudly Resigned in good standing
as a member of the National Association of Realtors.
.

Crystal L Cox is a Licensed Supervising Broker in the State of Montana as well as Oregon.

Crystal Cox , Ten Lakes Realty has turned her attention to Real Estate Whistleblowing in an effort to shed the light on the corruption in the Real Estate Industry Today. This is what Ten Lakes Realty does, this is not some Realty Scam. We are very sincere about educating you about the real estate transacton.

Beneath the Beauty - Montana Documentary on Hamilton Montana Issues - The Letter Banned from the Bitterrroot Public Library in Hamilton Montana.

2010-02-16T22:38:00.000-08:00

Since the Documentary www.BeneathTheBeauty.com has come out many have asked me questions on the Hamilton Library and what the Big Deal is with Some Letter Not being Allowed in the Library, and Why the Guy Running for Mayor at the Time, Michael Spreadbury was being seemingly harassed by local police for wanting some letter open to the Public at a Public, Government Funded Library ?

So I Want to Post that Letter and a Link to the Site that the Letter to the President of the United States is Posted on.

""received at the White House Mail Office on April 24,2009

*THIS IS ROY P. PILKEY'S LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT*

Barrack Obama
President of the United States of America

Sir,

I write to you with respect, admiration and hope. In this time of our nation’s strife, I do not ask for monetary relief or a bailout. Sir, I have lost everything that I hold precious in life, I live in Ravalli County, Montana. There are no civil rights here, there is no justice here, and there is no one to appeal to. I want my human rights, and my freedom back.

I am 67 years old, I was raised in the Navy, and served in the USCG for four years, I served 25 years in the Seattle Fire Department where I retired on 9/11/91. I have served my country my entire life and I still abide by the oath’s that I swore to defend my Flag, the President, and to serve the American People, as did my Father.

Sir, I moved to Ravalli County, Montana in April of 2002. After 911 I wanted to try and start over as I felt that my time of usefulness had passed. Fate works in strange ways and my duty as an American was to be tested like never before. I found myself in the midst of ignorance, racism, hate crimes, nepotism, and corruption, where the weapon of choice for criminals is the American Flag.

I fight for America Sir, and now the rumble has reached the White House. The horses hitched to your wagon have brought you into it. The truth shall set us free.

I present to you the “unbelievable” daily life of American citizens in the Ravalli Territory, the Holy Grail of injustice in America:

Montana is the third largest state in the lower 48, yet has a population of less than one million residents. It has three electoral votes with one Congressman and two Senators. There are 56 counties distributing the power of the United States Constitution.

The present Governor of Montana states that “Montana is for Montanans”, and openly mocks the government of the United States. I am an American, not a Montanan.

Ravalli County starts at the Idaho border to the South, runs the length of the Bitterroot river, with the Bitterroot Mountains to the West, and the Sapphires to the East. There is one road, Highway 93, in or out. No news goes out and very little comes in as we have no Newspaper, and one radio station. It is isolated and remote.

The County Government is the cow that feeds it. It offers jobs to those who are willing to buy in. All others are treated as “illegal aliens”.

The County Attorney is an all powerful entity, above the laws of the United States, openly protected by the State and our National Representatives. Ravalli is a micro climate set up to set the standard for the rest of the state. It can be compared to a “black hole”. Seventy percent of Ravalli County is Federal land. This is a Third World Country within the State of Montana. No person or entity can, or will claim jurisdiction here. Is this the template for the new America?

Very few people in this state go unaffected or untouched by these events of violation.

The last Census said there were approx 37,000 residents, of which 29,000 are of voting age. Amazingly all of them are “registered voters”. The Secretary of State claims to have very little control over voting laws in the county. They are defined by the County Attorney as to who shall , or shall not vote, and what they may, or may not petition.

The County Sheriff is an elected official and is the head Law Enforcement Officer in the County. There is no criteria to be the Sheriff.

The current Sheriff received a unanimous vote of “no confidence”, from his department and yet was re-elected. Any group will only be as good as it’s leadership.

There are five elected County Commissioners, all paid.

They have no say over the County Atty (CA) , or Sheriff. The CA regularly overrules any legislation they try to pass regarding zoning or permitting. They are pretty much powerless, with main emphasis on who shall sit on county boards.

The City of Hamilton is the County seat. There are less than 4,000 people living within the city. They have 6 city council seats, an all powerful Mayor, a city Judge, and a Justice of the peace, all of whom are elected. There is no City Treasurer although the citizens passed a petition to have a Treasurer.

The words “and to the Republic”, mouthed by these officials during the “Pledge of Allegiance”, refers to the local newspaper.

The City Attorney, works under contract, also acting as prosecutor. This attorney worked for almost 6 years without a contract, and never swore an oath of office at any time.

This is a blatant violation of State Law.

His comment about that is, “ it is ridiculous to think that I should have to swear an oath”.

The State bar, and the District Court Judge, said it was ok to violate state law and swear the oath 6 years later. The Court system prides itself on very tough justice with a 90 percent conviction rate of violators of the law. All judges and city attorneys are former prosecutors for the County.

Hamilton Police Department has a force of fifteen officers.

A normal town has one officer per thousand population. They have the run of the County as their jurisdiction. They have been out of control for a very long time. The “tail wags the dog” here. They are almost all of “local flavor”.

The Police Chief acts with impunity to any authority including, county, state and federal.

The City of Hamilton is not incorporated.

City limits were never established; no census of the population was ever taken, and there was no election held by those citizens to establish the “City of Hamilton”. Therefore, what is the legal standard and criteria by which this illegal group administers, executes and prosecutes the laws of the State and Constitution of the United States.

How can they issue permits and tax the people?

How can they be allowed to hold elections for a nonexistent entity?

The County Attorney claims he has no authority in issues within the city of Hamilton. People within Hamilton may not vote on county issues by order of the County Atty. The Sec of State has no record of Hamilton, Montana therefore no controls regarding voting.

The Fire Department claimed by Hamilton is an all volunteer group of 20 Fire Fighters, none of which are paid. Their services are minimal, and there is no standard or criteria as to qualification or training. They are an entity separate from the city.

They are the First Responders to the NIH Rocky Mountain Lab a level four biolab. There is no way these men should be expected to cover this facility. RML gives a grant to the HVFD to buy a 100 foot Aerial Platform, surely the most useless piece of equipment they could have. There is no one who knows how to drive it, and no where to park it. There are no buildings over 3 stories in the county or city.

The Fire Chief quotes to me, “we need the Aerial Ladder so there are no ground ladders up when the walls collapse”. There are no paid fire fighters anywhere in the county that I know of.

NIH has put science before the safety of American Citizens.

This county would be an excellent place to move Guantanmo. There is no escape, no rights and no one to complain to.

However, the rest of the world might regard it as “cruel and unusual punishment”.

In 2001 three women are killed in a Florence, MT beauty salon in broad daylight, The case remains unsolved.

In 2002 a Hamilton officer shoots and kills a man involving a domestic dispute. Six months later a coroners (a former Hamilton City Police Officer, and current Sheriff) inquest finds it justifiable.

In 2002,the State loses it’s viable Power Company which was publicly owned. Jobs, pensions and a public utility all are shuffled and sold. This was considered business as usual here with no investigation by the State or federal government.

In October of 2005, a man has barricaded himself in a gas station convenience store at the edge of town after briefly holding the employees hostage. His white pickup truck, a second male passenger, and a large white bag on the ground are left in a driveway around a corner from where the man has fled.

The owner of the home asks the remaining man if he is ok and the man says, “yes, but my buddy is really messed up“.

He walks around the corner and watches with the Police.

Quite a while later the home owner watches a third man pick up the bag on the ground, toss it into the truck and drive off.

Law enforcement from all over Western Montana have surrounded the station, blocked off the highway, and wait for over 9 hours before attempting to enter. The Hamilton Police chief is in charge of the scene.

They find the man has killed himself in the bathroom. He has a briefcase containing $4000 dollars he had robbed up in Flathead County. The News Media had covered the episode from the earliest minutes and report a sad but successful end to the story. Law enforcement are commended for their good work.

There is no mention of the second man or the money. Two days later, the Ravalli County Sheriff’s dept shows up at a residence at the end of a road about 10 miles out of town and wants to know where the missing $200,000.00 from the robbery is?

The residents are dumbfounded to learn that the truck used in the robbery has turned up abandoned on their property. No mention of this has ever been made public that I know of. The witness where the truck originally stopped is advised by a state official to keep her mouth shut.

Within a six month period in 2005, five inmates hang themselves in the Ravalli County Jail. A coroner’s inquest finds everything ok.

What could cause such desperation of these men, to take their own lives. Who were they?

What had they done? There was never a trial or question of who and why.

Death at the hands of law enforcement
is taken for granted as “normal” in Montana.

Several jail employee witnesses are terminated.

There are survivors who lost their loved ones, fathers, sons, and friends. There are those that know the truth and must live with it. There are those that must cover up the truth further enlarging the ripple and the quicksand trap it feeds.

The Police chief retires from the City dept to take a job with the NIH Rocky Mountain lab. The lab turns down very qualified people for administrative and security positions keying for what they describe as “local flavor”.

They hire the City Administrator, along with the Police Chief. The closest professional help for any emergency is in Missoula, at the least, 90 minutes away. The same campus in Bethesda, MD has a 30 man fire department covering their lab.

The 20 Hamilton Volunteers are neither trained or qualified to address any part of an emergency within this facility and should not be asked to do so. Certified letters sent to Bethesda regarding this situation have disappeared. NIH security is often seen patrolling the streets of the city.

The District Court Judge for Ravalli County is pulled over by Hamilton Police and charged with DUI.

He is ticketed and booked. His story is spread all over the “Ravalli Republic”. He is pulled over again in Missoula and charged with the same thing. He admits to a problem, says he will go through the rehabilitation and is allowed to keep his position. The Officer doing the initial arrest will be referred to as “not so super“, Notso.

The officer often testifies to the Judge, along with the Hamilton City atty who doesn’t think the Oath of office means anything. The Montana Disciplinary Committee, aka Bar Assn, says “no problem”. This man had once been a respected and trusted Judge, now his opening line must be “How may I please the state”?

The local daily newspaper, the Ravalli Republic is owned by Lee Enterprises. It is totally controlled by the County attorney here, and all of it‘s other publications will only print the party line. Falsehoods causing much grief to innocent people are regularly published, yet retractions and other viewpoints are staunchly avoided.

Any innuendo that something is foul in Montana is rewarded with a “fuzzy bunny” story as the County Attorney, and other State Officials reminisce of happy times in their rise to success . Made up “awards” and plaques are given with accolades to Police Officers, and their leaders for their “humanitarian” work.

There are few, if any newspapers in Montana which are not owned by Lee. I would liken it to Pravda.

A retired Army Veteran is parked in front of his Physical Therapist office in the middle of downtown Hamilton in the afternoon.

He is waiting for his appointment time. He looks up to see a gun pointed at him in the drivers side window. There are three more Hamilton Police officers in position with guns pointed , demanding he get out of the car.

He gets out and is braced and searched. He finds out that he is suspected of being a terrorist shooter because he is wearing a leather vest. He is told to watch his step.

In 1949, I recall having a butterscotch sundae with Mr Watling, at NAS Niagara where my father was stationed. He was a Navy jet pilot and he was leaving for Korea. I don’t remember what we talked about except that he had noticed my “cub scout hat”, and that he seemed pleased to be with me.

I can never forget the respect, that my father showed him at our introduction. The newsreels at the movies were never the same when I found out that he wasn’t coming back. I was probably his last memory of America. I learned early the responsibility of my heritage.

A young HPD Officer is appointed by the unincorporated Hamilton City Council to be the new Police Chief in spite of pressure by community leaders to get an outside professional for the position. The force now numbers 15.

A normal city will have one officer per 1,000. Hamilton has less than 4,000 residents. On any given night the town lights up like the Aurora Borealis with blue lights flying everywhere. It appears that the tickets are the towns only income. One rookie officer sets the record with over 100 unsupervised arrests and is applauded for his wonderful work.

At the end of his year probation, he swears the ” oath of office”. He regularly holds “show and tell” with other citizens showing the actual videos of his arrests with commentary about the victims. These officers carry real guns with real ammunition, they are brandished regularly.

Sir, with your connections, could you get Supercop, a few days of duty on the streets of Chicago? Better yet, let’s just swap departments for about a week.

A retired decorated LA Police Officer, who was disabled after being run down by a murder suspect lives here. He is a former United States Marine who has served abroad, and willing community volunteer. He joins up with members of the USMC Band who are performing at the County Fair. He attempts to give some of them a ride, when after pulling out of his parking place, he is pulled over by “Supercop”.

He is accused of cutting in front of the police car and DUI. Supercop gives the “Mic on, Mic off”, routine to the flustered veteran, and writes him a serious DUI ticket. The Vet is devastated and seeks counsel outside of Ravalli County.

The attorney urges him to plead “per se” and take the consequences, as he says the “police there, will lie”. The Vet does as urged and has the book thrown at him by the Hamilton judge who is a former Marine adjutant proud of the harsh sentencing handed out in Hamilton.

He is devastated and embarrassed. He goes to his health club, and there Supercop and others openly and publicly mock him.

The man resigns from the health club and has to see a shrink to get his health and composure back. The Vetcop is pulled over months later for DWIH (Driving While In Hamilton), and the officer immediately goes to the mans license tabs where he finds that the “numbers don’t match”; amazing police work.

This place is a vipers nest where honest, good people are not welcome and openly discriminated against. Like all of us, he is wounded and will never be the same. He has lost his faith in America.

Is this the greeting returning vets shall receive? Is this what we all served for? Is this the legacy for our children?

A Native American man is shot and killed in Darby by the town Marshal. The Marshal has been notorious for ticketing a very famous late night talk show host and for anally tight law in his town, which is referred to as “camera land”.

Fines are payable then and there.

He responds alone to a domestic dispute and gives a pat story the night of the shooting . It was portrayed that he had responded to the place and was immediately jumped by the man, whom he knew well. While fighting to keep his gun away from the man, he shot him twice.

This was all over the news that night and the next day. When relatives showed up, they found the girlfriend was under arrest in the hospital, and there was reportedly another witness.

The Marshal was wired for tape.

Six months later, during a Coroner’s inquest, a new version of the story unfolds where the witnesses could not remember anything , and parts of the tape are blank. The last words you hear are the Marshal stating that he was going to shoot the man, and then he does. The death is found justifiable.

I ski in the winter and often ride the chair with students up for the day. One young man is always dressed in dark blue and never without a ski mask on. I have talked to him several times and learn he is a home school student from Darby.

One day he tells me that it is his birthday and that he just got an assault rifle with a stainless steel barrel that wont wear out. He wants a pair of twin tip skis like mine so he can ski backwards and shoot.

“I am very seldom at a loss for words”.

While serving in the USCG, I spent a year of isolated duty on an island in the Aleutians. After a while you lose the perspective that there really is anything outside of where you are. People who have been in combat or taken long sea voyages will give you the same comparison.

Hostages tend to accept and sympathize with their captors and go along with it as a survival instinct. You do whatever it takes to fit in. I believe it is called “Stockholm Syndrome”. It is a very necessary trait one should have to live in Montana. ""

Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act - Learn More Folks before you Get angry at the "Environmentalists" as you call them.

2009-02-16T09:42:00.000-08:00

Carole King Joins Rep. Carolyn Maloney in Supporting the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act

Washington, D.C. -- Today, pop music legend Carole King joined Representatives Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) in announcing the introduction of the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA). NREPA would protect some of America's most beautiful and ecologically important lands while saving taxpayers’ money and creating jobs.
“Many of America’s most precious natural resources and wildlife are found in the Northern Rockies,” said Rep. Maloney.

“NREPA would help protect those resources by drawing wilderness boundaries according to science, not politics. NREPA would also help reduce global warming by protecting the corridors through which vulnerable wildlife can migrate to cooler areas.”
“I am proud to cosponsor this legislation to protect the Northern Rocky Mountains, one of America’s great natural areas,” said Rep. Grijalva.

“A bold plan is needed to preserve and protect what remains of the Lewis and Clark legacy, and this bill would do just that.”“NREPA protects land and water belonging to all Americans, mitigates the effects of global warming on species, saves taxpayers millions of dollars and creates jobs.

If not now, when?” asked Carole King. Grizzly bears, caribou, elk, bison, wolves, bull trout and salmon still thrive in the Northern Rockies. The bill seeks to safeguard both these species and the lands on which they live. The Northern Rockies is the only place in the lower 48 states where native species and wildlife are protected on lands that are virtually unchanged since Lewis and Clark saw them.

Click here for complete text of the bill. The Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act: *

Designates as wilderness more than 23 million acres of ecosystems and watersheds in the Northern Rockies;

Connects natural, biological corridors, ensuring the continued existence of native plants and animals and mitigating the effects of global warming; *

Restores habitat that has been severely damaged from roads that were built, creating more than 2,300 jobs and leading to a more sustainable economic base in the region;*

Keeps water available for ranchers and farmers downstream until it is most needed; and

Eliminates subsidized development in the designated wilderness areas, saving taxpayers $245 million over a 10-year period.

Offshore Wind Farms in the News

2009-01-25T19:03:00.000-08:00

They Force Wind Farms for the Good of All just as they did when they forced the giant electric power lines through farms and condemned them so the land owners had no choice. In towns like my hometown, the Corp. of Engineers came in and flooded fertile, rich land and created dust bowls and now the area will never be the same and the Land Owners children lost their legacy, their inheritance and their way of life.

Zero Point Energy was used a hundred years ago to power cars. Electricity existed before GIANT powerlines, drilling for gas and oil ever began. And now it is not enough that we are drilling offshore, spilling oil into the oceans, killing the wildlife with these methods.

But now Wind Farms such as the one in controversy off of cape code, they say will definately affect migrating birds, they are VERY Ugly to the coast line and they cost a fortune, oh well, you the American people will pay for it. With Zero Point Energy there is a One

They Jailed men who tried to tell you about it, why ? We have a Right to Free Energy, we have a right to beautiful coasts, to watch migrating birds, and to not have poison in the oceans with oil.

They Talk About Energy Independence, that is a Joke,
We have Always had the Tools to be Energy Dependent and NOT
as a Country on the Whole, but each household, each community
Independently creating their own energy with out taking
farms, destroying rivers, blasting rock and drilling into the earth.

"They" jailed the Inventor of the Searl Effect Generator, they took his prototype, Why? It was to Keep Control of You. Step Out of It and Find Out More.

http://www.exopolitics.org.uk/uk-new-energy-inventor-searl-%11-intro-videos/
Maybe they are Afraid of What you Will Do with this Kind of Power. What will you do with your life if you don't have to work so much to pay for Electricity, Gas, Oil.

"The Searl Effect Generator developed in the 1960s is allegedly capable of cheaply and safely producing electricity without fuel, pollution, friction, or noise. Anti-gravity effects also involved.
Now a mock-up version has been produced demonstrating some of the core principles.
"I have known John since 1988 and have watched his work closely since that time. In the last 19 years I have had the privilege of meeting a number of those people who worked with him in the 1960's and 1970's, who have all confirmed the facts John explained in the first couple of years of our friendship."

-- Dr. Terry Moore (Mar. 10, 2007)

In 1968, like many free energy pioneers, Searl was imprisoned on fake charges. In addition there were regular clashes with UK energy monopolies like Otis T Carr had with GM.
The height of Searl's achievement squashed at this point - he had nearly two dozen operational SEGs which were all sequestered, along with his plans. Since being released from jail, he has been seeking to rebuild what he had once achieved.

The Searl-Effect is based on complex rotating magnetic-field effects, and as such is related to the experiments performed by Godin & Roschin, Marcus Hollingshead, KD, and in a very general way even the work that Podkletnov and Ning Li have done with rotating superconductors.
Godin and Roschin replicated a single-ring SEG in Russia and reported that as the device reached 550 rpm that it began to self-accelerate and was enveloped in a bluish glow. Marcus Hollingshead is using a device featuring a unique coil-design, and despite the fact that he had never heard of the SEG while building his device, he claims that his effects of Antigravity and field-effect shielding match the SEG almost perfectly.
Searl SEG Updates - 2008

Good news - the magnetizer (500KiloWatt SEG Printer Magnetizer and major electrical bus panel) is almost done, we are just waiting now for the buffer unit. Progress is good, and when this is done we will be able to magetize the plates and roller sets. "

Look at the Mill Town Dam Sitation. Look at W.R. Grace. Why is Montana letting this happening again. Oh I know, because it's not surface. This it a bit of a stretch. The water we drink is NOT surface, the Vegetables we eat don't all grow on the surface, what effects the ground, the water, the soil beneath the surface CERTAINLY affects the Surface.

Rock Creek Mine being safe for any person, animal, or Water Shed in any way is Wrong.

They make you mad as they blame environmentalists, its not true, it is the Fat Cat at the top that gets all the money while you work your fingers to the boney and you get sick, while barely making it pay check to pay check. They divert your attention by feeding on your anger of the Conservative Groups so that you will not really look at what they are doing. While Mill Owners and Mine owners become Multi-Millionaires.

Dig Deeper Folks, Please, In honor of our families who suffer at the hands of W.R. Grace, who cannot breath on their own, who have bleeding bones and extreme pain even now in the 20s, this problem still affects libby montana, Yet the EPA, The DEQ and Montana Gov. Officials want you to think they are Cleaning it Up, how culd they possibly clean up all this toxin, where will it Go? Ask Questions, Read, learn all you can, not only is your lifestyle in Montana at stake but your life and the life of your children and grand children are at stake, don't let the powers that be pull the wool over your eyes AGAIN....

HELENA, Mont. -

Another lawsuit seeks to block development of a copper and silver mine beneath the federal Cabinet Mountains Wilderness in northwestern Montana.

Conservation groups claiming the Rock Creek Mine would jeopardize sensitive bull trout filed a case this week charging the tentative state permit for the project is the wrong kind and imposes only run-of-the-mill requirements. The suit in state court seeks an order demanding a comparatively stringent permit for the mine proposed by Washington-based Revett Minerals Inc., which has said mining would not disturb the surface of the wilderness area. State work preceding that permit would include a study to assess the potential for water degradation from mining.

Will NOT Disturb the Surface, WHAT ? you poison the Water, you drill under neath and it will not affect the surface, you will not feel the ground vibrate on your hikes in the wilderness? You will not drink the water, eat the fish or the wildlife affected, the lakes will not drain and your Surface will not be affected - WHAT ?

Buyers Rebate in Real Estate

2008-05-12T22:47:00.000-07:00

Montana Has Joined the land of the Living.

I just found this MEMO it seems that as of april 1st 2008 the Montana Board of Realty Regulations is Permiting Real Estate Brokers to offer Rebates to Consumers. This after last fall when we were given a memo from the State Realtors attorney saying that buyers rebates were illegal and that a new law was being created to make it even more clear that it was illegal. This MeMo even Suggested that Cash Back was Mortgage Fraud. Which is NOT true and Now this Memo.

Click HERE.

Hmmm... What Happened, did the State of Montana decide to be on the Side of the Consumer instead of the Realtors. Great... this is Very Good News.
And folks Ten Lakes Realty is there.

Call us today at 406-297-7767 or 406-882-4177,
we will represent you in your real estate transaction with integrity and honesty all the way and we will give you Cash Back, BigTime

.a quote from the Memo,

“Amending this rule to allow rebates in real estate transactions is a good change for Montana consumers,” said Thomas O. Barnett, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Department’s Antitrust Division. “As we have consistently seen in other states, the repeal of rebate bans lead to increased competition between brokers and lower prices for consumers of real estate brokerage services.”

This is Good News in Real Estate and one of the VERY few things that has happened that actually benefits the consumer.

John Muhlfeld - Whitefish Real Estate News

2008-02-21T12:46:00.001-08:00

Well The Headlines of the Daily Interlake TODAY smells quite fishy.

Now we SEE for SURE why John Muhlfeld was bent on getting into the Whitefish City Council.

He has pushed a law through that will ensure he makes HUGE amounts of Money.

Even if JOHN and the River Design Group does not get the job of “site work”, which they will, but if not they would still benefit from the job going to friends of theirs and if the property owner has a choice it will have to be John Muhlfeld of the River Design Group, he has experience in GETTING paperwork through government officials, he is on the City Council and his Fiancé is a Realtor – Win Win.

The article said that it is unknown how much money whitefish property owners will have to spend before they can build.

To me this says that the flood gates of MONEY have opened up to Muhlfeld’s kind of work. And he directly benefits from the law.

Yes some developers in Whitefish have abused the waterways, built to close, and cut down trees along whitefish lake. They were given tiny fines and now every landowner must pay. Follow the Money folks.

I say to you Whitefish Real Estate Owners that YOU are being manipulated so that John Muhfeld can get rich and that you should take your development dollars elsewhere. This is not about protecting the waters. I have a whole lot of paperwork on the Grave Creek Project in Eureka Montana and what John Muhlfeld Designed ripped out every year and he did not care. The worse job he did the more he got paid to come back and fix it.

John Muhlfeld admitted, with several people present that he had already chose who would do the ground work on the project. These folks were friends of his, and therefore, the public notice and trainings for the locals were just protocol.

John Muhlfeld is not to be trusted. He acts righteous, like he wants to protect the waterways and it is NOT True. John Muhlfeld is out for a long term pay check. And NOT for what is best for water and fisheries. I mean wasn’t’ gas being dumped into the Whitefish River, how long did that take to clear up. The gas station is allowed on the river banks but houses are not.

Take a look at his past work, he never has cared about the rights of property owners.

He works for the government and will do as he pleases. He brings dogs onto your property when specifically asked not to. He has no regard to property rights and he is NOT good at his job. Is this Defamation ? Folks, get every single document from every single job he has done. Under the Freedom of information act you can demand copies of this paperwork. And when you read it all you will see that John’s work is not quality and is all about creating high paying jobs for himself and his friends and now he will have an inside connection and quite possibly his Realtor fiancé will make lots of money on Whitefish Waterfront Real Estate.

Open your Eyes Folks, Today’s Headlines is all about River Design Group and John Muhlfeld making MONEY.

I do believe waterways SHOULD be protected, but anything with Muhlfeld’s name on it is suspect of corruption, lies, greedy, faulty work and trampling of landowners rights.

Going Haywire in a Global Economy

2008-01-22T08:12:00.000-08:00

Much of the hay cut in local fields this summer was bailed up not for neighbors with livestock and farm animals. Instead, those with farm animals had to eat it: no, they didn’t eat the hay, they ate the consequences of a global market that snatched up the bails and shipped them off to the orient. Fields that once fed local animals cashed in on global prices. The buyers- mainly Japanese and Korean- were interested in high quality hay grown without genetic modification. This year, Montana fit the bill.
Rumor has it that 100 semi-truck loads of hay left St. Ignatius in the middle of the night and convoyed their way to Pacific ports in the Seattle area in the beginning of October. Those with connections didn’t suffer. Like any successful business ploy, the growers/ ranch owners in the know simply kept their mouths shut and provided small quantities of hay to their cronies whilst keeping an adequate stash for themselves. Meanwhile, the many area residents with just enough farm land to house a few horses or other livestock were left scrambling for hay.
The price of hay doubled, jumping from an average of $85 a ton to $170 a ton. Hay from Canada and eastern Montana replaced the hay that was once so accessible: product that was once provided in the local marketplace was now being exported out of the area. Resource that was once manufactured (and in this case grown) was now being exported elsewhere. Hay buyers in the Flathead, Lake, Sanders and Lincoln counties were now competing with buyers from Japan and Korea in a global marketplace.

Japan and Korea are getting the better deal: the dollar’s value decreasing increases export potential. And more overseas buyers receive a better product- in this case a Montana one- at our expense. Not only does the cost of hay double while the dollar is weak (making other nations’ currency stronger), but the quality of the hay can be dubious. For the most part, Canadian hay growers still grow “clean” hay, as do farmers in Montana. Yet sometimes, the “clean” hay, grown without genetic modification gets replaced with a genetically engineered substitute, as was found at the Kalispell Cenex. Labeled as “weed free”, the hay was marketed as superior to the buyer. The telling sign, however, was how animals poked noses at the hay uninterested, looking around for the real hay to show up.
The real hay is being fed overseas (again- Japan and Korea) where governments continue to resist pressures from agribusiness and buyers are privy to the unproven safeness of genetically engineered product. They won’t accept any feed into their countries that is genetically modified; be it for animal or human consumption. And in Europe, labeling of food that is GM is strict: most of it has been phased out in the last ten years, despite the aggressive tactics for GM products. Meanwhile, back in the US of A, GM products are everywhere and on the rise, in food and drug and in this case hay, without any labeling for the consumer to make a realistic choice. I guess this is what happens when Monsanto employees become FDA members and visa versa. Go figure.
Small farmers have always been a threat to big business interest. Small farmers represent independence and community cohesion. When resource is extracted out of a rich geographical area and the residents of the geographical area are paying for the extraction in so many of the above ways, we are no longer operating as a state within the good ole US of A. We are operating much like a third world country indebted to a world bank. After all, U.S. citizens are collectively part of a debtor nation as well as carrying individual debt loads that would abhor many first world or even developing world countries' citizens.
I will never forget talking to a farmer friend of mine that lives near Hot Springs when the whole hay shortage event was being played out. I called her to tell her that if she hadn’t bought all her hay for the winter, she better buy it quick. No, she said she hadn’t bought all her hay for winter and she had already taken out a bank loan to by what she had put up. Hay is cut a bit earlier in Sanders County, so she had a bigger window of time to secure hay before the price shot up than those farmers living further north. She was completely oblivious to the global tactics that were being implemented out in the innocent looking hay field. Interestingly enough, she did get one clue that a stealth force was lurking when she went to her local feed store. The words of warning uttered to her were, “Beware, the wolf is at your door.”

Reflections on Flathead Media

2008-01-19T19:49:00.000-08:00

I first noticed the Beacon back in December 2007. Being familiar with Missoula’s Independent, I found myself constantly comparing and contrasting the two. First impression told me the Beacon was smart, the image I was seeing was sporty and sleek, like a celebrity. It wasn’t until later that I discovered the paper was owned by celebrities Maury Pauvich and Connie Chung, who own a home in the Flathead. The Independent, on the other hand, has been criticized by many as advertising sleaze. However you classify dirt, it looks like it takes dirt to grow a grass roots style newspaper.

But I like that the Beacon is clean and doesn’t advertise sleaze- no cigarette ads no matter how “organic” the tobacco and no dating services. And the size of the Beacon is slightly smaller to flip from front to back. And what looks like the quality of paper they print on (recycled or non-recycled) has that subtle glossy feel to it. Part of staying in the newspaper print game these days does take a tactile edge in the market place. Even if your paper is free. Internet news doesn’t hold the memories I associate of print newspaper: waking up at 6:00a.m. at my mother’s house in Whitefish, stoking the fire and reading the Daily Interlake that has already been delivered to her front door. You get the picture. The Interlake holds fond memories, even if I don’t agree with the editor on the topic of global warming. I am a connoisseur of news, no matter what the medium. I appreciate all the media in our area, even if I don’t agree with the many viewpoints that are shared or exposed.

I just don’t think Bucky Walford should have his mall, for instance. This is more than just a stoplight issue, it is an environmental issue. And I don’t think that the Whitefish city council is petty. Any small victory gained by Whitefish civil servants for the good of many should be applauded. For the most part, I like what Whitefish has grown into in the last thirty eight years (which being my age is about how long I have watched Whitefish grow). And if bureaucracy slows things down, maybe this could be viewed in terms of a speed limit on growth. After all, haste makes waste. All this was stirred in me the second day of the year, with my new Beacon issue as I sat with my feet kicked back watching the snow fall and contemplating the editor’s advice for the various towns in Flathead County. I liked the roust for local government, but the words were like a jagged little pill for this little local girl.

All this rousting going on, all this **it being stirred- and for what reason? The Interlake had a headline a few weeks back- something about Muhlfield- the Whitefish city council fellow who was guilty of sleeping at his girlfriend’s house- that made him sound like a criminal. When mountains are made out of molehills, one wonders what the intent is. Last week’s Pilot quoted Tim Gratten, an area developer in on the mountain-making (and mountain making in more ways than one if you know the Gratten family) as, “just wanting to stir things up.” Jeesh. Is it really worth the effort? This sounds like the escapades of a little boy on the playground. And it has the whole valley in a tizzy.

The Beacon will have its place at the news stand. It has the money to do so. I no longer compare it to the Independent, which has returned to- in my mind- its rightful position as the only independent newspaper. Meanwhile, the media players are kicking up the dust on the playground. Let just hope that our emotions stirred won’t cloud the view.
