Hey! KIR !! This is and advance warning regarding an up-coming post!!! Since the standard playbook for the worst labor unions (not all), the extreme left wingnuts who seem to have taken control of the democrat party, and the most extreme elements in the Sierra Club, is to make outrageous accusations against the opponent, then scream and screech when there is a ligitimate response! (Yea, I know, that was a long sentence).
I am slowly building a rather long list of dates, times, places, venue, and locations of some of the most extreme, inaccurate, bordering on libel / slander, unsubstantiated, and repeated even after corrections were offered, kinds of statements made by the mayhews, zellers, kuhns, baileys and others!
If you get a thrill when you see your name in print -- you will love this posting! My plan is to list your name, the date and venue of the statement, and what you said. Every single word will come from identified records so anyone can check for themselves whether I'm right or not. Trust me! I will be right!
So far? It looks to be a long list of false, misleading, and outright lies that have been used to attack Mr. and Mrs. nemee, their 3 year old son and their new born baby boy.
As I have been working on this piece it has become clear that the pattern is to throw out lies and otherwise false statements, then scream that their 'targets' are spreading hate when they respond with correct evidence! I don't want my grand children to remember me as someone who twisted the truth to fit my own opinions. Apparently, unlike some, I have too much pride!

Have some fun!
Lew mayhew, cathy mayhew, marguerite stamper, donald kuhn, muriel zeller, something romano, and one or two others.... Okay, maybe not the mayhews since they are the professionals, I encourage you to get behind and support issues that are based on facts, truth, integrity, and never on unsubstantiated lies, rumors and inuendo. So, here is the fun part....
Since the mayhews want your money and the right to use your names on letters that clearly the mayhews have written, what do you get in return? Do you get to see the evidence they claim to have compiled regarding the vast conspiracy covering up all of the many state, federal and local laws broken by the Nemee family? In fact! Have you ever been shown copies of actual citations against the nemee family by any agency? State, federal, or local? Does their claimed history of breaking the law include colusion by all of the state, federal and local inspectors whom the Nemees asked to come forth and inspect their project?
Just how stupid do the mayhews think you are? This isn't about following the laws! If it were, KIR would be supportive and move on. No! This is about the mayhews, donal kuhn and a very few others who want to grand stand to hide their real agenda which is to stop all growth in Calaveras County!
Fun? Ask for proof before taking sides or joining any band wagons!I can prove every statement that I have made about Trinitas. Simply ask them to do the same. If they try to blow you off, then you know the answer.

Challenge!
This is an open challenge to the mayhews and any others associated with the money trap called KIR: If you can't prove what you have accused the Nemee family of doing, then just shut up and go away! Also, why won't the mayhews open their so-called books so we can see where all the money has gone? I have asked many times for that information, but have been ignored. Has anyone ever see an accounting of the money collected by keep it rural (KIR) ???? Has anyone ever seen any actual proof that the Nemee family has done anything wrong? Not very likely! Why? Because people like the KIR croud (and I use the word 'croud' very loosely) rely on big lies repeated often.

See for yourself - Trinitas responds to allegations by the press
I found a very interesting post on the Calaveras County Taxpayers Association website (www.ccta.camp8.org) regarding the no growther's latest attempt to use normal EIR procedures against Trinitas owner Mike Nemee. Mike and Michelle have done nothing but welcome a transparent EIR process and deserve a fair shake by all including the liberal media. It nice to see that the Nemee's are fighting back against these frivolous attacks!
In his letter, Mr. Abbott clearly outlines the normality of this ongoing process and how it has been taken out of context and used against his client. See for yourself that Trinitas has never been in violation or received a citation from the State or Federal wildlife agencies. To view this letter click here.

What have you ever done?
I have searched through the internet files and found nothing! I searched under 'KIR', 'GOALS' (that's the anti-growth group in Modesto), and also searched under each and every name associated with those groups. Nothing! Every reference is to something that these groups and individuals tried to tear down! I found nothing to show that they ever built anything! They've never built a business. Never hired or fired employees. Nothing!
They have never put their own money, hearts nor futures on the line. They appear only to try to destroy what others have built. I guess it's easier to tear down than it is to build up.

The inmates are in charge of the assylum
I see that D. Kuhn is again pretending to be a legal scholar. In one recent letter (6-13-08) he offers a distorted and misleading quotation from a sharp fellow from San Diego named Lane Sharman. Kuhn implies that the quote comes from a legal authority. It Doesn’t. Nice try!
It comes from a position paper presented to the Borrego Water Exchange in support of a no-growth position for Borrego Springs. That town is located in the extreme desert, east of the Salton Sea, in Southern California. I have spoken with Lane Sharman, a computer engineer. I like him, but don’t like him to be misrepresented.
Mr. Kuhn, tries to present a legal position, but it is obvious he is unqualified. He attempts to mislead readers into believing there are now more than ‘60' wells that have problems. He should recheck his list. He lied about the people on the list of ‘32' wells. Many of them are prepared to sign affidavits declaring that their names were never authorized to be used on such a list by anyone associated with KIR.
Some of those named people supposedly signed letters to the BoS . . . Wait, it’s coming, those letters were fakes. The individuals neither wrote nor signed those ‘letters’. Maybe, Mr. Kuhn, Mr. And Mrs. Mayhew, and the others should stop hiding their real intentions. No growth! It seems some folks are willing to libel, lie, slander, and smear, to get what they want.
And he has the temerity to say other people are breaking the law. The Nemees have created something beautiful, paid their taxes and then some, and have tried to do what’s right. What have you done?
It appears you (KIR) have been advised to temper your flaming accusations against the Nemees. Recordings of meetings of the BoS show what each of you have said. M. Zeller asks who is accountable. I ask you who will be accountable for the outrageous things that have been said about the Nemees? And a note for M. Anderson, CEQA, not you, will decide whether any changes will have to be done at Trinitas.

Keep it Rural and MyValleySprings.com types are up in arms over the Calaveras Deputy Sheriffs Association’s endorsment of the Trinitas project. This rift is going to widen as people, like the members of the DSA who live, work and want to shop here, learn their way of life is being negativley impacted by KIR and MVS.com trying to preserve the imaginary utopia they believe exists.These groups say they are for smart growth. I’m asking either group to respond with the name of any project they have supported. Smart growth must mean: in another county.Calaveras County employees are going to suffer a far worse fate than what’s being discussed in this year’s budget. In the upcoming years more jobs will be cut because this county wouldn’t or couldn’t find the wisdom and courage to expand our economy.
The county has many good employees like those in the DSA. Look for them to begin to stand up and ask why no retail projects are moving forward. Why is the county using resources to hurt existing businesses like the Valley Springs Fruit Stand? More importantly, look for them to ask how can you continue to pay for my job when we are going backward economically?I wonder if Ironstone Vineyards was being processed today what KIR and MVS.com would say.
Sheryl Crow was just there and the thousands of folks who came to Murphys got along just fine. They made it up the one-and-a-half lane road to enjoy the concert, The local businesses did well and the county government got their share. Who thinks Ironstone could get through planning today?
Thank goodness KIR and MVS.com didn’t have the chance to kill that deal.Trinitas will have impacts and they should be required to mitigate their impact. I also support the Trinitas project and I encourage supervisors to direct staff to bring it forward. The slow death of postponement is killing many projects that will benefit the majority of folks here.
It’s time to change the can’t-do attitude that overshadows this county. It’s time for a vocal few to realize they are hurting families who deserve a chance to earn a living just like they were given.

Trinitas Backed By Tax Group - Reads Union Democrat Headline
Published: July 3, 2008
By HOYT ELKINS
The Union Democrat
The recently-formed Calaveras County Taxpayers Association has asked county supervisors to speed up the review process of the controversial Ridge at Trinitas golf course development near Burson.
CCTA is the second organization to endorse the project since developer Mike Nemee hosted a Valley Springs Area Business Association mixer at the golf course last month. First to voice approval after tours conducted during the business association event was the Calaveras County Deputy Sheriff's Association.
Both organizations touted the economic benefits of the development to the county tax base.
"Trinitas is one of the largest ag producers in the west end of the county," said Al Segalla, president of the taxpayers group. "This project has a wonderful balance of ag, open space, oak tree preservation, wetlands and wildlife habitat enhancement, plus water conservation and reclamation."
In remarks to county supervisors earlier this week, Segalla said he had reviewed letters of support for the project written by "neighbors of the development."
"Some of these letters are shocking in that they indicate a massive fraudulent campaign is under way to kill this project," Segalla declared.
He added that the project owners appear to have consistently followed the requests of the county and followed the rules from when the project was a private golf course "to the present more significant public agri-tourist project."
Project critics say that it was begun without proper environmental review and continued after county officials told Nemee to stop. What originally had been called an 18-hole private golf course over 95 acres, grew into a public golf course development with a proposed 30-unit lodge, a clubhouse and plans for 13 new custom homes on 2-acre lots.
Lew Mayhew, spokesman for Keep it Rural Calaveras, a group spearheading opposition to the project, responded to the CCTA endorsement saying "statements about the project's history and apparent violations of county, state and federal laws are solidly supported by documents in the public record."
"We don't have to argue about it, just assess it fairly," Mayhew said. "An impartial DEIR (Draft Environmental Impact Report) will evaluate the past and future impacts and recommend mitigations for unauthorized construction. Then the county taxpayers can understand the full costs and consequences of the proposed project."
A DEIR is being prepared and is expected to be made public later this month. Nemee is paying for the report.
An unexpected, but welcome, change in tone by KIRC. "We don't have to argue about it, just assess it fairly"...that sure sounds like a reasonable approach. BTW, Nemee is REQUIRED to pay for the report by the County...standard for most project applicants...didn't want the article to leave the wrong impression.
