Templeton’s Ox-Bow Incident

     Templeton residents who are following along with events surrounding the Recall Election slated to be held on February 6^th 2012 at the Middle School gym might consider the similarities of the current recall effort to the book and movie “The Ox-Bow Incident”. 

Voting

In my opinion – when people go to the voting places, do you see all the supporters lined up near the election places? Yes some you notice, some you don’t notice and some are “ invisible” because they are only there to support the supporter – you know what I mean “one is afraid to stand alone” against freedom fighters

Are you confused Templeton?

In my opinion after reading the political ad on Page 5 of the Gardner News, Dec 16^th, and I quote “Thank you to all the voters of Templeton for signing the recall petition”. Don’t you mean – I’m sorry for intimidating you taxpayers that signed those recall sheets “under duress”. I suppose you recall people helped organize the election last May, 2011. Are you proud of the outcome of that election? I saw a lot of shoulder patting for a week or so after the election, then along came Jeff Bennett with his out of town lawyer for the tune of $4000.00

Attn: All registered voters

 Are you confused about the recall stuff going around town? Also the “Let the people speak” signs on people’s lawns and on the computer. Do you want the truth on paper or from the sexual intellectuals in town and at Templeton’s local watering holes. You know where (I mean local watering holes) just log onto “I am speaking” Pauly’s Templeton Watch and read my blogs and make copies that are not the truth, and I will answer them in person at my place, or  you the accuser pick the place for the stand off. Not a political standoff. A Pauly watch stand off. Virginia Wilder says

Save the Town thousands

In my opinion some people should just listen and think a little before putting their mouths in gear. I went to the Dec 12^th Selectmen’s meeting. Chairman Julie Farrell wanted a motion to save the town $3000.00 per year – of course she got flak from – guess who?? Bob Columbus and Virginia Wilder on the issue. Well Bob C and Virginia want to keep getting updates of the Massachusetts General Laws “why don’t they get the renewal form and pay it themselves?”

I am speaking in response to Political ad/Gardner News 12/16 page 5

I hope all you people who signed the recall petitions realize that the papers you signed were for the recall of Selectmen Julie Farrell and Robert Mitchell. The “Let the People Speak” group are angry because at the two hearings for the former town coordinator; Chairman Julie Farrell did not allow anyone to ask questions or speak. These were the only two meetings since Ms. Farrell became chairman that she did not allow people to speak and the reason she did this at the meetings on 9/26 and 10/11 was – These meetings were “hearings” for the former  town coordinator. They were scheduled for “executive session” as the law requires. The law also states that it is the person whom the hearing is for that has the right to have an “open session”. This only means that it is open to the public to attend. The Chairman has the right to run the meeting as deemed necessary. Ms. Farrell was warned by the town’s labor counsel that Ms Skelton’s attorney Mr. Rahavy had made the statement “to be prepared for a circus”. How should she have run it – as a free for all? Maybe the recall people should all have attended the meeting back when G Skelton was chairman – he not only didn’t let people speak – he often yelled at anyone he disagreed with!   Just ask taxpayer/businessman Tom Royer.

Money - Money - Money!!!

Hello friends –
Money – money – money. It seems in my opinion that those recall people do not care how your tax dollars are spent. I watched Chairman Julie Farrell bring up a question at a selectmen’s meeting about mass gen’l law updates for the selectmen’s office that cost the town $3,000.00 a year and the Mass Gen’l Laws can be looked up (for free) on the state website. A few of the people that have use of those books don’t use them anyway, look at K & P’s past bills to the town. “see my blog Nov 14, 2011” Julie Farrell suggested to drop the updates. She got flak from Bob C and Chris Stewart and a couple of people in the audience. When the selectmen interviewed the 3 final candidates for town coordinator, all three said that is was a waste of money. There was no need to purchase the updates with the MGL being online. I bet the recall people want to recall Julie and Bob M again (fast) before they save the town of Templeton too much money. Hee – Hee – Hee! I myself PHC can put on paper ways to save Thousands of dollars NOW! I did put it on paper once but it got “lost” in the recall effort somewhere,

When us “humble” people ask about wasted money, we and I am “speaking” for many are told by the powers that were that it is needed. It is a must. (yea right) like a hole in your pocketbook. Hundreds of you taxpayers have ideas on how to save the town money – send me a note and I will try to get it addressed, but if the recall is successful hang on to your “billy Goat” because bad sh----- will happen I can guarantee that, as I am sitting here writing this blog, another issue came to mind. Your proposed new town hall building at 252 Baldwinville Rd. the architect was asked (at the Town meeting in November) about the odors and dust and chemicals that are in the building. Guess what? The architect said and I quote – “ you won’t have to worry about that , its going to be covered up. – (get it) covered up!!! Just like a lot of other things that got covered up. Why can’t we the people that are speaking, get copies on paper of the progress on that building? 252 Baldwinville Rd.

Look at all the progress reports on the senior center that are given us taxpayers and other committees like the common improvement deal and Alan Mayo with all the grant stuff for the town and the sewer dept and the police dept and the highway dept. but the town hall building committee has kept everyone in the dark. How come? is this building going to be our town hall or at the last minute this building will be given to the highway dept. for good use –  sand for our icy and slippery roads. But will Bud Chase have enough diesel and gas to do the job? Ho – hum- I am surprised the building committee hasn’t given us a progress report, but they aren’t afraid to ask you naive taxpayers for another ½ million to start with, oh sorry – its only $400,000.00 to be raised by taxes and $157,000.00 from the Pajari fund. That sounds better than ½ million  $400,000.00 plus $157,000.00. I hope I got those figures right, so at town meeting the building committee are only asking $400,000.00 plus $157,000.00 from the Pajari fund. That sounds like just over 1 /2 million to me. How does it sound to you taxpayers? Now hear this, if the $400,000.00 fails (which I am 100% against this project) the building committee still wants the $157,000 from the Pajari fund. Kind of greedy huh?

A friend of mine asked me the other day what I did with all my blueberry money for the last 50 years. I said I paid all my taxes and permits and special permits like repair plates, bond for keeping a class 2 license, drivers licenses etc. He said “wow” have you got anything left? I said just enough for a six pack of bud light in New Hampshire. So if you taxpayers have a few blueberry dollars left, why not donate it to the proposed new town hall before town election in February 2012.

I am hoping all responsible taxpayers vote “NO” I am voting “NO” on the recall of Julie Farrell and I am voting “NO” on the recall of Bob Mitchell. And I am voting “NO” on the $400.000.00. this is December 12^th 2011 – now I have to wait to see the ballot sheets to see what has changed – if you know what I mean.

Do any of you remember town meeting 2010? Article 23, about grade  changes. Again another attempted move by the powers that were. We taxpayers worked hard to stop the concom agent’s move – and it personally cost me PHC a lot of my blueberry money and thousands of our taxpayers dollars. Get the 2010 annual report and see for yourself. On paper – page 155- look at the amended article 23. Also look on page 7 – re: appreciation -  other words we taxpayers were lied to by the powers that were, the concom agent was already being paid at a grade 10 (illegally) for 23 months before I caught it. Thousands of dollars out of our pockets and my complaints about that issue were ignored.  By the then coordinator and the then chairman. But Julie and Bob M and Jeff are getting that addressed. I can’t embarrass those 60 percent (3) of the selectboard at the time so I must join them so I don’t need to be embarrassed.

I have taken out my papers for the replacement of Julie and Bob M if they are recalled. What if the two are not recalled, am I wasting my time? Is it going to be confusing or what?? Is the town clerk and whoever else is involved in writing the ballots thinking about the confusion of the ballot? Why not do the recall, then the $400,000.00 deal and save part of who is going to replace the 2 recall people for “later”. Like all my complaints, myself and 100’s of supporters of Julie and Bob M are going to be out in force. The powers that were made a big mistake on this recall sh-----. I hope the Board of Selectmen uncover more wrong doings by the powers that were and help me and all concerned taxpayers before the February election. This will help to put more frosting on the cake. And let us go about our business knowing we have a good board of selectmen looking out for our best interest.

 Remember all this writing is my opinion!! – Thanks for reading my blog.

Let the People Speak = Let the Town Get Sued

Some residents of Templeton are outraged that they were not allowed to speak at the Board of Selectmen meetings that were held on September 26, 2011 and October 11, 2011. As
Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, it was my decision to limit discussion at those
meetings to the Board of Selectmen and the former town coordinator. According to the

Attorney General’s Open Meeting Law guide:

"While the public is permitted to attend an open meeting, an individual may not address the public body without permission of the chair. An individual is not permitted to disrupt a meeting of a public body, and at the request of the chair, all members of the public shall be silent…”
 
These are the reasons why I chose to run those meetings (9/26 + 10/11) in that manner. I
was informed by our labor counsel that these meetings would most likely be held in open
session. It was relayed to me through our labor counsel “to be prepared for a circus. "This
statement is attributed to Attorney Rahavy, the attorney representing the former town
coordinator.

Hello Friends – December 9

Well in my opinion time opens all old wounds. Last night I received (on paper) a complaint by Carol Skelton against Jeff Bennett, Julie Farrell and Bob Mitchell for (aggrieved) by these three selectmen on Oct 11, 2011 as retaliation against her (Carol). How naïve do you think taxpayers have to be to ignore Carols complaints to be discriminated against. These three fine selectpeople Julie, Jeff, Bob M.  If your doctor told you not to eat certain foods would you ignore your doctor?

My Signs

I hope all of you noticed my "I am speaking" signs. Here is another shot in the back by the powers that "was", a few people that I asked to put my signs on their property, politely said "no" because they feel they will be the target of the powers that "was" in Templeton, well I accepted their wish. I am not mad - because - they are afraid of retribution, by you know who. But fear not I have received phone calls from townspeople asking me to put a sign in front of their house, This is the beginning of the "I am speaking" campaign.

Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment - 252 Baldwinville Rd aka New Town Hall Building

If anyone would like a copy of the Phase 1 environmental site assessment that was done on 252 Baldwinville Rd - the building that will be turned into the new town hall.  Please email me a cosentinosalvage@hotmail.com and I will email it to you in pdf format.  Please note that only Phase 1 was done - not phase 2 or phase 3 - Phase 1 is just looking through paperwork, what was not done was any soil testing or any ground water testing - as the Mass DEP will tell you as they told me Phase 1 is a nothing, just paper work usually done for realtors. The real environmental testing (21E) is phase 2 and 3 - now heres the problem, we (the town) purchased the building without phase 2 or 3 ever being done. Anyone want to buy some oceanfront property in Templeton?  Well email me - I'll sent you the report and you tell me if you think that we should have purchased this builing and land with out a full environmental (21E) done ALL PHASES.  They plan on putting a  geo thermal system in - that means going under ground - with out testing the ground!! 

Hello Friends

I wonder if the recall people had time to look in the mirror to ask themselves, am I doing the right thing about this recall garbage? Let the people speak, let the people speak let the people speak – that’s all I see around town on the recall signs, what happened to the recall sign in front of Bob Columbus’s houes, on Main Street Otter River? My “anti recall” signs are going up around town – if you haven’t seen one they say “I am speaking” . Do you people think Julie Farrell, Bob Mitchell  or Jeff Bennett are going to stop me from doing this  - no – because it is not designed to spread propaganda. It is designed  to spread the truth, about what has been going on at Town Hall for years and years. Yes I have a lot of bona fide complaints over the past few years. And remember this – not one of my complaints have been answered. Not one! But now after investigation and recount of the board of selectmen last May 2011, We have three selectmen, Farrell, Mitchell, Bennett that are not afraid to step up to the plate for me as a taxpayer and the rest of the taxpayers and  a few misinformed (morons),in my opinion , want to spread the poison to recall Julie Farrell and Bob Mitchell. And cost us taxpayers thousands of  taxpayers’ dollars (the recall people say it doesn’t cost anymore because there is a ballot question on the over ride for the new town hall building – well more questions on the ballot means  more hours counting votes – pole workers don’t work for nothing) not to mention the embarrassment when the truth comes out by the Dept of Revenue and other agencies that I have contacted in the past few months. And again in my opinion – I quote Shaun Grimley “you just won’t like what you are hearing” when you are running out of “dodge” . It’s taken a long time but its worth it to me and all my followers, we are not the ones that are going to be embarrassed. How do you think former House Speaker Sal Dimasi’s family felt when he “Sal” was admitted to Federal Prison for 8 years. It took a long time and investigating, but they got caught and don’t forget, Templeton is no different – when it comes to fraud and misuse of municipal funds and intimidating witnesses. Go ahead sue Pauly’s Templeton Watch.

recalling the wrong people

I don’t know what the organizers of the recall effort are talking about. The past Board of Selectman Chairman D.O’B. let me speak at a selectmen’s meeting and then 2 days later someone (Big secret) convinced the Police Chief to throw me under the bus – but it back fired. Then I get the new chairman to listen to me along with Jeff Bennett and Bob Mitchell and they are investigating my complaint. And I am happy about that. So what’s the problem people? What does due process mean – 6 or 7 years under the rug? In my opinion – why don’t all you do-gooders wait another couple of weeks to let me  “not the miss informed big mouths, ” to prove all my complaints are bonafide.  Who is trying again to hide what from whom? I am losing a lot of friends because of illegal BS that went on at town hall before Jeff Bennett took the seat from you know who, who had taken it illegally. This is still my opinion. I hope everyone who reads my blog will look in the mirror and ask themselves, have I been bullshitted or what? Is it true that the organizers of the recall went bed to bed at the Baldwinville Nursing Home? If that’s so- that is the cheapest move so far from that group. It must be true – I checked the petition papers and sure enough I recognized a few names of people I know are residents at the nursing home. Isn’t it bad enough that these organizers stood in front of each precinct post office and intimidated people trying to go about their business? I know  now how the organizers got the signatures they needed but please listen to me, it is like someone stabbing you in the back and then taking bets on witch way you fall.  I believe if it gets to the ballot box for the tune of 6 to 7 thousand dollars of your tax dollars, people will vote a lot different. Nobody will be standing over your shoulder at that nice secure 3 sided box. This time I will be on hand to watch the counting of the ballots. Remember what happened election day may 2011 the only one sorry about the change in who won the election was Jeff Bennett it cost him $4000.00 to prove to all his supporters that he won legally. I also talked to another taxpayer that signed the recall because he was mad at Chief Whittaker. I said why pick on Julie and Bob M? His reply was none of them care about the tax payers.

I personally encouraged Jeff Bennett to order the recount of selectmen’s ballots, May 2011- look what happened after a $4000.00  fee for Bennett and a cost of thousand to the us taxpayers. Was Julie and Bob M to blame for this mistake? Was it a human error? I am still fuming about how Gerry Skelton went to the town Clerks office a looser and came out a short time later a winner. Sorry Carol H - but what do you think happened? Did someone do something illegal again? Without thinking of the recourse from all us taxpayers. “note” I pay over $15,000.00 a year to Templeton and I don’t like anyone reaching into my pockets for personal I agendas.  And these recall  people want to throw the good selectmen out and bring back the ?????? – sorry I’ll leave that up to your imagination – they might sue me – they are sue happy you know.

Thanks for reading – please send comments “on paper” he-he-he –get it?

Town Coordinator

I personally talked to a person that signed the recall papers – that person did not have their glasses on and were told by the recall carriers that Julie and Bob M were firing a lot of employees and other lies about why they want to recall Julie and Bob M. How many other voters and even the non-registered voters were told the same thing about the reason for the recall petitions.

A Brighter Day!!

     Templeton voters who have been waiting for a breath of fresh air in regards to the replacement of our past town coordinator got their wish with Mr. Stewart’s comment “they were all so good” in regarding the qualifications of the remaining candidates for the position of Town Coordinator as reported by Mark Haranas on 11/29/11 in TGN.
