Comments [added].
First Hour
Pat Good morning everyone and welcome here to Sound Off Central Wisconsin. We have a very interesting show for you today. We will be talking about something that goes by different names. But you will remember that last week we had Joan Veon [The Women's International Media Group] on about the Smart Growth [SG] issue the expansion the loss of private property.
Today were going to get more of an explanation in order to bring it home to the local level. On the show we have Michael Shaw who has been very active in the founding of Freedom 21, Santa Cruz, CA. Bill Elmhorst who is the Clark County Committee for Fairness In Law Committee Director from York Township. And Clark Palmer, who is the Chairman for Education and Policy for the Clark County Committee for Fairness in Law. Theyve been working on this for several years and were going to learn more about this, but first and foremost lets say good morning to everyone. Good morning!
Guests -- Good morning!
Pat -- Well, the elections are complete, the [Wis] conservatives have taken over the House and Senate. We should mention that in your Smart Growth [SG] its known as Comprehensive Development [or Planning]. And this is a bipartisan issue. Both Democrats and Republicans of the [public and] private sector have been battling this.
Clark Yes, thats correct. Its seem to be a cross-the-board sort of thing where its really up to the individual to stand up for himself with respect to this. Its a rights issue, its a property rights and individual freedoms issue. If we can get that message across to individual land owners things will change.
Pat Okay. Michael, youve been working on this for about twenty years out on the west coast. We always say things happen on the west coast first. Is this true in this case too?
Michael Yes I think it is. Our local congressman is a man I disagree with quite thoroughly. But while denying hes ever heard of Agenda 21, he proclaims to be a proud card-carrying member of the United Nations. And in a letter he wrote to the Agenda 21 committee [in Calif] I sat on a few years ago he said that the local Agenda 21 Action Plan not only has local significance, it also will have regional and national impact. And I think hes right about that. Santa Cruz was maybe the first community in the country to formally implement an Agenda 21 program. And actually we did that in 1990, when the citizens passed an ordinance called The Decade of the Environment. Of course nobody got down to reading the detail on that. But when you do it looks exactly like what came out of Rio De Janeiro in 1992 when the UN unveiled its international Agenda 21 program. So weve been a seed bank on the central coast of California, sort of a launching point for the Agenda 21 program.
Pat Okay. Now Clark or Bill, when did it come here to Wisconsin? Did seeds of this filter in now or are we looking at something different?
Clark Well, it went through the Clinton Administration. And a lot of the liberals out of that decided to bring it here. Special interests groups in Wisconsin got behind this program and basically wrote the law, in the late 1990s. It came out of the Governor Tommy Thompson Department of Administration Budget Office in 1999. It never went before the Houses of the Legislature at all. But instead it was incorporated into the budget bill which Tommy Thompson signed I understand in October of 99. So we have a law in the books with no public debate, and pretty much everyone agrees the special interest groups were involved the realtors, the builders, Wisconsin Towns Association, Wisconsin Counties Association, Thousand Friends, other environmental groups they pretty much all agree that this [SG bill] didnt stand a chance in broad daylight.
Pat Wow. Well were going to comeback to that law in a second but lets first go back. Michael, give us a little bit of a history about Agenda 21 maybe the seeds of how this whole thing started. Were surprised about some of the people involved in this because when people think of Agenda 21 they think boy, is this the X-Files something some wacks are coming up with as to being some type of conspiracy theory? And lay it out so that we realize this is something serious.
Michael Agenda 21, the United Nations [UN] documents themselves are very explicit. Theres nothing hidden or conspiratorial about this. It is a plan that has been laid out and is now being implemented at very accelerated rates. Within the UN documents they call it Agenda 21/Sustainable Development [SD]. SD is the term that catches on. When Clinton first became president [he] set up the Presidents Council for Sustainable Development [PCSD]. But that came on the heels of his predecessors actions which was this: In 1992 at the Rio convention, put on by the UN, where Agenda 21 was unveiled, George Bush senior was there, and while he did not agree to the Bio-Diversity Treaty, which the Senate later defeated 95 to 0, he did sign agreements to administratively require the US to implement Agenda 21. So since he did that all federal departments interior, education, HUD have been working toward the SD model. Basically, SD is about the elimination of private property.
Pat Across the entire United States?!
Michael Across the entire United States.
Pat So we would have the people right now that own homes, even in the larger metropolitan areas or the cities and metropolises, it would be called something else their homes and the land they live on?
Michael The homes are not the first things to be taken. SD program has two action plans: ones called the Wildlands Project [WLP]. Youve seen/heard very little about the WLP in the press. But once you understand what the WLP is, you see evidence of it everywhere you turn Ill come back to that. The second action plan is called Smart Growth [SG]. The WLP has to do with Americas rural lands. And what the collectivists [did], whether theyre American collectivists or British collectivists or collectivists from anywhere, [was] gather at the UN. What they [the collectivists] know they need to do in order to get their New World Order [NWO] in place is to take control of Americas rural lands and natural resources. Our country is the only country in the history of the world that has vested management control of natural resources. Remember, everything comes from natural resources into the hands of private citizens. So what the WLP has done is mobilize the environmental community to make a tax on private ownership of natural resources. So if you live in the west, and youre a timber operator, or youre a grazer of cattle, or youre a mineral operator, or youre a water purveyor, youve been under enormous attack. And today, unless youre Weyerhaeuser Inc., you dont have much of a chance in the timber industry of surviving. In our county were an ocean community with forests behind us. You cant cut down a tree. The tree is no longer yours.
Pat Even if you own the land?
Michael Even if you own the land. (Pat -- Wow). The harassment we have to go through to get a timber harvest is unbelievable. And thats the truth throughout the northwest. And of course the Endangered Species Act [ESA], which was a Nixon creation, another guy with a globalist background, was the bedrock for all of this activity.
Pat So are we talking about the early 70s, about the same time the Earth Day project got going?
Michael Thats when it took a giant leap forward. But you can go back to FDR days, immediately preceding the formation of the UN and you begin to see the internationalist movement to use the environment as the basis to control private property. And of course the irony of that is that America is the cleanest and most vibrant landscape in the world and thats because our assets have been managed by citizens. As soon as we turn it into a global conglomerate our natural resources are going to begin to decline like Russias did during their period of collectivist orientation.
Pat So what about all this -- and I dont want to call it propaganda -- but information saying we are one of the dirtiest environmental pollution people right up there with the most dirtiest besides China which is not part of the you know what I mean is that true?!
Michael Well, I think that anyone who travels around the world for example, try to go swimming down in Mexico in the ocean off of their cities. Theres stuff floating in the water. Go to Russia. My father went to Russia shortly after the communist regime fell, and the rivers were filthy! America is clean and beautiful, and getting more so all the time. I grew up in southern California, after moving from Iowa, and the smog was bad in the 60s! Today you can see across on half the days you can see 7 miles from Orange County across all of LA County and back into the mountains. Things are good and getting better.
Pat All right, so theyre trying the old scare tactics then? about saying that people who may operate a mine or something that youll use cyanide or that theyre going to poison our rivers and kill all the fish in the grass lands. That with the restrictions that are put on mining companies now I cant believe they could really create something that would destroy.
Michael I think thats right and clearly government has a role to protect public waters and public air. And I think one could say that several decades ago the American government wasnt as effective at that as it could be. But even in the 60s America was a lot cleaner then what Russia was, or what China was. Youve got to remember that its wealth that brings the focus on cleanup. If youre worried about eating do not worry about cleaning up. And thats why protecting Americas wealth and system of life becomes so important.
Pat Okay. We did get a call on a question Ill have everyone answer. They want to know if theres a website. First Michael, do you have a website folks could logon to and look at?
Michael We have one in Santa Cruz, CA called www.freedom21santacruz.net. And there youll find some links to some other websites around the country that are good. And fortunately I think the recognition of this massive attack on American values and really upon humanity itself in the form of this collectivist movement, is starting to get some traction and people are starting to link up. Our backs are up against a wall and we are up against a major challenge. The collectivist movement has trillions literally trillions of dollars at its disposal. Theyre paying so many young people coming out of our college to implement this SD program with our tax dollars. And were just ordinary people kicking up our heels and saying, wait a minute. We want to protect the individuality of our children and our posterity, and to do that weve got to stay true to the founding fathers vision.
Pat Okay. Clark and Bill, do you have a website?
Clark We have one we just started recently. Its up and its running, not a whole lot on it so far local announcements and things. We do have some links on it for some great websites, so we suggest that you look at www.fairnessinlaw.org. On there youll find out what the Committee in Fairness in Law is doing in Clark County, as well as some links to some really great material, especially an internet magazine called Freedom Matters, which comes basically out of the Madison, Wisconsin area.
Pat When I was reading your gentlemens information here locally that towns and villages are losing some of their rights without even knowing it. Can you explain that, give us some specifics locally?
Clark Well, thats correct. We have been subjected -- I guess here in Marathon County the same thing has been happening -- in that state money has been granted for the development of comprehensive planning. Thats what we call it here, or Smart Growth [SG], or whatever. State money has been laid out there in a whats called a multi-jurisdictional manner. So one governmental body in this case Marathon County and in my case Clark County -- has been asked to round up all of the local municipalities into one plan. By doing so theyre going to eventually lose their local development rights, and the control of their planning will be taken over by the county. In fact the law, which we can go into a little bit later, mentions that it could actually go up to the Regional Planning Commission level a multi-county level possibly even to the state. (Pat Wow.) And after that you can dream for yourself.
Pat So were saying like Marathon City [in Marathon County] would not be able to do something locally without going through the county.
Clark That is a definite possibility the way the law is presently constructed yes. And if Marathon City is one of them that is in your Marathon multi-jurisdictional plan there definitely is the possibility there for them to lose part or all of their home rule with respect to planning and zoning.
Pat Okay. Wow. Its kind of like theyre sneaking up on folks right now.
Clark Well that was definitely the case in Clark County. This whole thing got more or less started under the cover of night and we have complained long and loud about the procedural due process. People were not informed at the base levels and then voted to be in or out that kind of thing.
Pat Okay. Michael we have a caller Bill and Clark. From Wausau Ed joins us on the show. Hi Ed.
Ed (caller) Hi Pat, its Ed [ ]. (Pat Hi Ed, how are you?) Im fine. For those of you who dont know who [I am] Im the county planning director for Marathon County. And I want to say that a wonderful thing about America is that people have the absolute freedom for freedom of expression. I think thats super. I think sometimes what goes with that is to dispel misinformation and disinformation that sometimes occurs. And Id like to address the issue of Marathon Countys Comprehensive Plan [CP].
Pat Okay, hold it a second here, I cut Michael off. Okay, weve got Michael back on. And Michael we have on Ed, the Marathon County Planning Director.
Ed One of the big things Ive read Agenda 21, and thats fine its a UN document. But I think what we need to do is look at Marathon County and its local governments and its residents. We have absolutely committed ourselves to local involvement. I know theres some issues in Clark County and how some of thats been handled. We will have plans developed by each community for their community. We also have an overall county plan. But to say that Marathon City cant do something I think that Mr. Palmer doesnt have an understanding of what the countys role is and its statutory authority is in land use planning and control for municipalities.
Michael Well let me this is Michael Shaw weve done this for a longer period of time then you I surmise.
Ed I surmise not. Ive been involved in CP since 1977.
Michael Oh I understand that. Certainly the roots of those folks whove been trained up by the American Planning Association [APA] go way back. (Ed Yes). And SG is a concept is what the Russia experiment in central planning was all about. (Ed Not at all). The idea the idea of collectivizing and controlling centrally the use of property is not a new idea. The expression now is a new idea, but when I say Santa Cruz probably has more experience then Wisconsin in regards to the implementation of SG I say it for this reason: weve been having these consensus based community planning activities going on for a long while. In fact Ive sat on a number of those. And heres the gig. The idea with community planning [citizen involvement] is this: you create a consensus committee with stakeholders. Now just examine the word stakeholder. Do you use stakeholders in your community planning?
Ed Whether or not we throw that around in the jargon, its jargon sure. I like to think of residents and citizens of our county.
Michael What happens heres what happens when I sit on consensus-based citizen councils: you bring up private property (Ed mm-hmm) you ever write that on the board? What they do is they take folks who are speaking from an individualist perspective and the sanctity of private property or the fifth amendment (Ed mm- hmm), and they isolate them. That doesnt become part of the plan, because you see
Ed Well Sir, until youve had an opportunity if youve been to Wisconsin and been to Marathon County you can talk all you want about whats happened in Santa Cruz and your experience, but I think its very unfair to paint with such a broad brush the concept of planning. We have 62 municipalities in Marathon County. We have elected Town Boards in each of those municipalities or village boards. And I think they are looking out for the interest of their citizens. And we as the county want to certainly want to give them the tools and the ability to make decisions that their community wants -- not the decisions that the UN wants, not decisions that the Federal Government wants, not decisions that the United States wants. We want to help those communities plan their futures.
Michael Well theres two realties here. One is that the same language the planning directorate in Santa Cruz gets the same language. Now the point is that you go from the UN to the federal agencies to the state agencies to the local governments you find the same language all the time. It involves the 3 Es: Environment, Equity, and the Economy. (Ed mm-hmm) And what those terms mean when we do collective planning comprehensive planning using a consensus-based approach, to decide how other people must use their property. Now, thats just an old-fashioned notion called collectivism. [unintelligible] using the law to get predetermined outcome. The economy has to do in this context with redistribution, internationally even at certain levels of this activity. And the environment has to do with putting nature above man. Now thats the consistent thread, and the process for bringing people together to say, How do we want to deal with forest-earth land? Now the stakeholders having never put any money into the land have no real idea what it takes to manage the land. But a consensus appears. Youve got one landowner who says Thats not what I want to do! But youve got ten other people who vote right out of the other guys pocket.
Ed I think Sir if you knew Keith [ ] whos our County Board chair, if you knew Frank [ ] whos chairman of our Ag-Extension Committee, I think you might have a different perspective. These folks are honest, sincere (Michael I have no doubt of that) folks that are not into collectivism.
Michael Well when you do stakeholder councils to decide how people shall live, how they shall use their property, whether they can use their property, that is collectivism.
Ed Well Sir I would suggest that were not telling people how to use their property. Our intent is to provide municipalities with the ability to provide a good quality of life for their residents. We have gone through many discussions about the difference between planning and zoning. And I will stick by the fact that we are planning. Zoning is one of many tools that can be used to implement land use planning, but it is certainly only one of them.
Michael One of the other patterns you see again, the same thing that youre saying today, Well this is just planning this is just soft ideas , you know Santa Cruz was in that spot about five years ago (Ed mm-hmm). Every one of these soft ideas, okay, what youre seeing parallel at the state level, what youre seeing at other states, what youre seeing coming from the federal agencies and what was written about in plans in Rio, and more recently in Johannesburg the most recent Sustainable Development conference down there is that you go through the soft law process and then you turn it into hard law. In Santa Cruz we are now turning all of this soft planning process into hard law, and if youre a natural resource operator you dont have any choices. Now what then happens, when you get to the SG element, passed the Wildlands element (the wildlands is pretty well in shape) which is why the planners have moved from the countryside in rural America into the cities, starting with smaller metropolitan areas like Santa Cruz as a test grounds to see how far they can push SG.
Let me give you an example in the city area: here theyve come up with a Heritage Tree ordinance. They say that we want to protect our urban forests. So the urban forest trees get designated as heritage trees. And anybody can nominate anybody elses tree for heritage tree designation. (Ed mm-hmm). And that goes on for about five years. But now were passing another heritage tree ordinance which is called the Heritage Tree Celebration ordinance which holds the following: If you have a tree that is designated by anyone as a heritage tree you cannot cut it down, prune it, or plant under it without an environmental report and a city permit. Failure to follow that law results in a $15,000 fine. Comprehensive planning leads to very hard law.
Ed It strikes me that again youre not aware of the quality of our elected officials and the participatory nature of government in Wisconsin. And I think its fine for you to be in California talking about that experience, but dont paint such a broad brush issue like this.
Michael When the citizens of the West have lost control of the [their] natural resources we are all at prey for what the planners might do next. And theres always enough people willing to take the poisoned candy as others seek to control other peoples lives. Thats what is happening in California. Everyone knows that what starts here spreads. And all I say is that the good Americans who value and respect the lives of others, and understand that you have to respect their property that youve got to be very wary. Smart Growth Sustainable Development Agenda21 are rooted in ideas that are foreign to America.
Clark [Ed] are you with us?
Ed Yes I am but I can barely hear you though. Just holler at me.
Clark Okay, well theres an idea. Ive been thinking about that for some time actually. Im not really concerned about the quality of local officials. Elected officials live and die and then are replaced by other officials. The unelected officials do worry me somewhat. They seem to go on forever. I dont know if thats because they come out of a university background it doesnt change or whatever. but our problems, which arent your problems, theyre Clark County problems. Were a Cow County. You got a nice city here Im sitting in at the moment -- Wausau. We dont have anything resembling that. You could put all of the cities in Clark County probably in one of your larger parks here if you wanted to. But Im concerned about Sir is the idea that good people dont necessarily write good laws. In this particular case I want you to get our your copy of s. 66.1001 [Wisconsin statute on Comprehensive Planning]. And were going to talk later on about the definition of local governmental unit. And were going to talk about sub 3 [lists local actions that must be consistent with a plan by 2010] which is the key to the whole thing by 2010 we all have to do this. You agreeable to all that?
Ed I dont have a hold of it right now.
Clark Okay, well you get a hold
Ed Well, tell me about it what your concern is.
Clark Local Governmental Unit the definition. You take a look at it.
Ed Is this in reference to Regional Planning Council or commissioned as being a local unit of government?
Clark Well its one of those things listed as being a local unit of government Sir.
Ed Is that your concern?
Clark Well, I think Im more concerned right now about the county level. Im trying to do this law its presently written and not get too far ahead as far as speculation. And I dont want to wave the UN flag at you. I really want to wave the Wisconsin flag and the individuals rights here. So thats really what I want to talk about.
Ed Okay well let me find Ive got s. 66.1001. And which sub?
Clark 1.B. Local Governmental Unit. Definition. Do you want to read it or should I?
Ed Local governmental unit means a city/village/town/county or regional planning commission that may adopt/prepare/amend a comprehensive plan.
Clark Okay, so weve got a local governmental unit covering four or five types of governmental structure (Ed Yes Sir), and then we have three things that they can do, right? [That they can] do with a comprehensive plan they can adopt one, they can prepare one or they can amend one. (Ed mm-hmm). Okay, I want to build on that, but I think it would be helpful to do a couple of other things first. (Ed Sure). Why dont you go to sub 3 here. (Ed Okay). All right. Go ahead and give the opening blast. Youre good at this because you go to all these informational meetings and tell people what that says. So you go ahead, you read that.
Ed These actions/procedures must be consistent with ? (Clark Yes, please). Okay. Beginning on January 1, 2010 any program or action of a local governmental unit that affects land use shall be consistent with the local governmental units comprehensive plan. (Clark Right). including incorporation, annexation, boundary agreements, etc.
Clark Right, lots of things twenty things or so underneath there, including a real trashy one at the end that includes anything as long as youre breathing. That kind of thing.
Ed Actually its about any ordinance, plan, or regulation that relates to land use.
Clark Now youre running a multi-jurisdictional plan here, am I right? (Ed Yes we are). Youve got towns, youve got villages, youve got a city or two in the mix, is that right? (Ed Yes Sir). Now Im just going to speak from the Clark County perspective. And you tell me [Ed] where your plan varies from the one being proposed in Clark County. (Ed mm-hmm). In Clark County whats going to happen is that all these nice local plans planned by the local people and turned into the county as local plans, are going to be incorporated into the Clark County Comprehensive Plan. (Ed mm-hmm). Weve signed documents to that effect, and resolutions and a lot of things like that (Ed mm-hmm), especially at the town level. Is that the case here in Marathon County?
Ed In general yes. The County Plan will not be as detailed as the individual town plans.
Clark I understand that and thats fine. But the key words here are are you going to incorporate these municipalities plans into the county plan? (Ed mm-hmm). Okay. And youve signed a contract with the state for the grant money ($800,000+) that says that you will deliver these particular groups and theyre enumerated in your contract as being signers to your county comprehensive plan is that correct? (Ed mm-hmm, thats correct). And of course your compensation is directly tied to that. (Ed mm-hmm). Okay, when this plan is adopted by the county board, (Ed mm- hmm) then it goes back to each of these individual municipalities for adoption. Is that correct?
Ed No, thats not correct.
Clark Well under s. 59.69 each of the local governmental units are supposed to have the ability at that point to accept or reject what the county has just adopted. (Ed for the okay). Right? Thank you.
Ed Our intent is that each municipality will have approved their plan and then it goes to the county.
Clark Right. And the county incorporates it into their plan. (Ed mm-hmm). At which point the county of course could -- lets see, looking back at the definition they could amend their comprehensive plan. Is that correct?
Ed Sure they could, but why would we? (Clark well why not? You have the power). Our intent and I said this when I was on the show before our intent is to work at the most grassroots level of government to develop plans. And its not so much for the townships as for the citizens. We are really pushing the idea that citizens need to be involved here. Its their community.
Clark I agree with that Sir.
Michael The point though is that the outcome is predetermined along the 3 Es line [Environment, Equity, and the Economy]. (Ed In what way?). People are co-oped into the system. Its run by consensus stakeholders rather then by Roberts Rules-of-Order where there are minority reports, where there are motions, where there are votes. This is a scheme. Actually, it was developed by the Rand Corporation Consensus-Based Approach and it is a tool for group manipulation that gets people thinking theyre on line with this new movement. Well, its the same movement that Russia had. Its the idea that individuals dont count. It is group think, and group action and that is the antithesis of the American Experiment.
Clark Ed, I know were ganging up on you, but let me just finish off this thing here. (Ed Sure). Youve got everybody adopting the Marathon County plan basically after its adopted by the county board. The parts that apply to the local municipalities go back there for final adoption under s. 59.69. (Ed I dont have 59 in front of me). Yea, thats fine, but thats what you have to do. All county resolutions have to go back to the local township for adoption. Theres no doubt in my mind about that.
So now we move to the next phrase. We have a saying in Clark County that the road to Clark County is paved with good intentions. And while I believe that you have good intentions Sir and I believe a lot of people in Marathon County have good intentions, the fact is the law doesnt protect us landowners from bad intentions. And whats going to happen here is that once everybody adopts the plan the county, the municipalities involved (town, city, village whatever) guess who the local governmental unit is as defined in the law? Ill help you. Its the county. Its no longer what we consider local. When I look at (Ed Well unfortunately Sir youve misconstrued ) The law defines you as local. You have the plan! You have the local comprehensive plan -- its yours.
Ed The local plan and I think it would withstand the test is that a local comprehensive plan is that product of that local unit of government. They will be adopting their particular municipalitys plan as the county will have basically a tapestry of plans that we adopt. If you were familiar with how Marathon County government operates I think that there is a strong reliance on the local units to make good decisions. Thats reflected in many ways. And we have a strong tradition of good local government, and that is the towns and cities and villages.
Clark [Ed], again, Im not talking about good intentions. Im talking about the [Wis] law and the way its written. Once these towns and villages and cities incorporate themselves in and you incorporate them into your county plan its your local governmental unit plan. (Ed mm-hmm). You can have as much good intentions toward those individual municipalities as you want, you can let them keep local planning commissions, zoning committees, whatever you want, but its your call its not the local governments [municipalities] call anymore at all, by local in that case I mean like say a townships call its now yours. Anything they want to do theyll check with you. (Ed Actually look at the township ordinance Sir. And its kind of hard to hear you but also did you say the local plan commissions wouldnt matter?) No, what I said is the local plan commissions can matter as long as the county wants them to matter.
Ed Oh, absolutely not. By statutory authority we can only do in terms of land use planning, and the plan commissions -- we can only do that if the communities allow us to do that.
Clark Well, I refer you back to s. 66.1001.1 sub B which says here that the local governmental unit (which means you) can adopt, prepare, or amend a comprehensive plan. Its part of your duty to (Ed If we could adopt ) make the comprehensive plan consistent across your jurisdiction Sir. And you will do this.
Ed We could do that as it relates to our plan. Now obviously, our plan, the county plan, will be at a less detailed level than the local plan. Quite obviously were not going to do that in a vacuum if its done. Again, we have a strong partnership with our municipalities. And we think that they have a pretty good idea whats going on in their own communities. And I dont think there would be any support to do massive changes to what our citizens want. I mean after all theyre county citizens as well as town citizens. The towns are really an appropriate way to do the local planning.
Michael But once you get into the stakeholder consensus gig (Ed Okay, well you keep talking about this stakeholder consensus gig.) That is the tool that is universally used to advance these (Ed Well, perhaps its universal to advance this were not we dont have a stakeholder gig in our planning process). Then thats what your citizens need to become aware of because what happens with those is that you get groups that have been funded with either tax-funded grants or are government employees who end up attending these meetings. Normally in our community we have so many meetings every night of these consensus (Ed Yes ) that I would have to be in six places and leave my kids behind (Ed Well sure.) and people simply dont do that. So the problem is that when you start planning other peoples lives comprehensive control I call it (Ed mm-hmm) we end up destroying the fabric of our society. And thats what Smart Growth, Sustainable Development, Agenda21, Comprehensive Planning is all about.
Ed Well, since we dont have stakeholder gigs again I suggest that you probably dont have a real good understanding of what were doing here.
Michael Well, I sure would like to communicate with you further because it is very easy for us to come up with the documented evidence of that in the state of Wisconsin anyway. Madison is a hub [source] for this stuff.
Ed (chuckling) Were not Madison! I think you could, I think you could anybody that is listening knows that were not Madison.
Pat I have to agree with Ed there (Ed laughs). Madison is kind of its own little country.
Michael Well, some of the communities in California, more in the rural areas are fighting this very hard and very effectively (Ed mm-hmm!). You know [they] say no comprehensive planning, [they] say no Agenda 21, and you know respect each others property and their use of the property (Ed mm-hmm). And thats the kind of commitment to freedom that the rural areas like yours need to pick up on.
Ed And I think theres certainly a strong populace nature in Wisconsin and I think our citizens are all interested in public health, public safety. I dont think anybody is raven for environmental degradation. I think the point of planning is to ensure that to get people to understand where they want to go. To understand what their future needs to be.
Michael Thats a buzz word. What our future And the whole sustainable development movement is couched in terms for saving things for future generations. Well, that doesnt make sense. (Ed Okay? (Chuckle) Tell me why?). Ill tell you why. Suppose a hundred years ago people said theres not much whale oil. We cant use whale oil, we cant use lighting, because we need to use it for the next generation. Well, my golly, if we hadnt used whale oil people wouldnt have been able to start reading at night, and expanding the potential for human capacity. And guess what? Sure there wasnt enough whale oil, but we found fossil oil. (Ed mm- hmm). Now if we were to say the same thing about fossil oil -- we must save it for future generations -- theres no need to do that.
Ed Tell me how were going to create more land?!
Michael Well, I tell you what. Have you ever flown over the United States? (Ed Yea). Theres a lot of land out there. (Ed Okay). A lot of land. A whole lot of land thats not occupied by people. You fly over at night you dont see lights very often. (Ed mm-hmm). Theres plenty of land. And the beauty of America is that land is so wonderful and so productive (Ed And do we want to keep it that way?) thats managed by citizens, not by planners (Ed Do we want to keep it that way with ?). Well I would contend that its kept that way (Ed mm-hmm), its kept that way Sir by productive people out using their hands. I have a quote thats right right now, that will take me about a minute to give:
When you see the trading is done not by consent, but by compulsion , and when you see that in order to produce, you need permission from men who produce nothing , and when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods but in favors , and when you see that men get richer by graft, then by pull or hard work , and that your laws dont protect you against them, but protect them against you , when you see the corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming self-sacrifice , you know that your society is doomed.
Welcome to the state of Gray Davis.
Pat (Chuckle). Gray Davis isnt Wisconsin yet is it?
Ed No.
Pat All right. This is interesting though. Maybe Im a normal person, but this really seems unbelievable. I cant believe this stuffs going on.
Ed Well, I think that that healthy skepticism that youre showing is rewarding.
Pat I mean, could it be though that a higher level a higher group is working through us without us knowing? (Ed laughs, Pat chuckles). You know what I mean?
Michael Its easy Pat to verify that. Ive got a [US] Department of Agriculture document here [dated] 1995. The seeds for all of this were laid out at the federal level during the Clinton administration during the 1990's. Theyre now pulling the trigger and bringing it down to the local communities. And theyre doing it very, very fast. But in this document it says, we will see all settlements (this is the UN term -- human settlements thats Smart Growth ) linked up by extensive bike (thats in order to get us out of our cars in order to preserve for the future) and recreation and agro-forestry e-ways environmental ways such as in Madison, Wisconsin. We will find healthy productive soils (and it goes on to say) that have no rock dust (i.e. when we get rid of the roads) Well you say thats crazy stuff! Well it comes from the Department of Agriculture U.S.
Ed Now tell me who the President is these days, and think if the President would tolerate such a thing. Think of the elected officials in Marathon County. Would they tolerate such a thing. Quite frankly I think its pretty absurd.
Michael Im reading from federal government documents! Ill give you another one. The Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management: it says that in Eco-system Management (Ed Okay, now) (Michael let me finish) ...Human beings are to be considered biological resources. This is about collectivism! It is devious. It has fooled a lot of good people. And it needs to be stopped by the heart and souls of Americans!
Pat And I think I know where Eds coming from. That hes we believe these terms are there and things of that nature. But why isnt someone tooting the horn saying like wait a minute folks, weve written some bad legislature!? You know what I mean? Like Congressmen and things like that?
Clark Not only have we written bad legislation, we havent bothered to debate it. In the case of Wisconsin weve gone ahead and enacted it and now have people running around saying that its mandated. Another point that I think we should look at pretty soon.
Pat Okay. Well I tell you what, Ed I appreciate your calling in. Ive got to break for news (Ed Absolutely). But thanks for your take on this. (Ed Sure enough. Good talking with you.). All right. Ed [ ], Marathon County planning. Hold on the line Michael. We have another hour, so well take a break and come back. This is Sound Off.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick hits from the media-access period in the locker room, combining Tuesday (4:15-5 p.m.) and Wednesday (11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m.), as the Patriots' work schedule has been altered with a Saturday game:
1. Players drawing larger media crowds included DE/OLB Mark Anderson, WR Deion Branch, TE Rob Gronkowski, S James Ihedigbo, CB Devin McCourty, LB Rob Ninkovich, WR Tiquan Underwood and OL Brian Waters.
2. Receiver Deion Branch said he doesn't think his groin injury, which sidelined him Sunday in Denver, should be a long-term situation. Branch didn't speak with reporters last week, but did today. That could be viewed as a good sign for his availability Saturday.
3. Safety Patrick Chung cordially waved off an interview request as he dressed for today's practice, which is being held in light shoulder pads. Last week, Chung didn't participate in any practices, so this looks like a positive step.
4. Practice squad defensive end Markell Carter, who is a top candidate to be promoted with Andre Carter landing on season-ending injured reserve, is keeping a low media profile this week. No interviews.
5. A locker was set up for a new player, which is expected to be veteran safety Vincent Fuller.
6. Offensive players said that as they began the process of getting familiar with the Dolphins' defense, the overall health of the Miami 'D' has stood out. Outside of Koa Misi, the outside linebacker, it's basically the same players they saw in the season opener.
7. Bill Belichick often pulls out impressive statistics to highlight the positive aspects of the opposition and here is one that players heard today: In two games this season against the Dolphins, the Bills were 0 for 23 on third down. The Dolphins rank fifth in the NFL in third-down defense.
8. Kicker Stephen Gostkowski was having fun with a wireless Bose speaker, which he said he received as a holiday gift from punter Zoltan Mesko and snapper Danny Aiken. On the playlist today -- Kings of Leon. Gostkowski then switched over to his 80s mix, obliging one reporter with this Stevie Winwood hit (link here). Always a good time hanging with the specialists.
9. Practice squad defensive end Cedric McKinley, who has been issued No. 66, has taken up residence in Taylor Price's old locker.
10. Even though he's not currently on the practice squad, the Patriots have an AFC East championship hat and T-shirt set aside for cornerback Malcolm Williams, the seventh-round draft choice from TCU.

Russell Wilson is among a number of quarterbacks that I consider to have shown significant skill sets that will make them starters one day, but who also have at least one glaring weakness that severely impacts their draft stock.
Brandon Weeden's stock overhang is obvious—he is 28 years old. Russell Wilson's issue is also well-known—he is only 5'11".
Ryan Tannehill also displays a good set of fundamental skills for a starter at the position, yet if there is one issue that tends to bug people about him, it is that he could not assemble good statistics or win games against better defenses in 2011.
Like Weeden and Tannehill, I expect Wilson to earn his shot at a starting job one day. Also like Weeden and Tannehill, it would not surprise me if Wilson were to develop into a high-level starter.
Let's take a look at some of his strengths and weaknesses.

Ordered the flannel cover for my 2012 BMW Z4. Overall fit was good, would have liked the antenna hole already in the cover vs. having to cut and fit grommet, but not to big a deal. Was exactly what I was looking for in car cover, light, soft, fitted. Was a bit pricy compared to the flannel cover for my 2004 corvette through Ecklers, but feels a bit heavier. Overall I would recommend.

Display caption
Elizabeth Siddall began painting in 1852 and made over a hundred works in the following ten years. Her style and subject matter was close to Rossetti's, but their relationship was reciprocal, with each of their medieval, romantic dreams supporting the other's. They sometimes collaborated, and Siddall's compositions were copied by Rossetti for one of his pictures. Ruskin greatly admired her work, and paid her a retainer to support her career. Here she treats a chivalric subject, albeit one laden with sexual symbolism.

EUR/USD: slow start of the week
EUR/USD Current price: 1.3275
View Live Chart for the EUR/USD
Little change for the EUR/USD as the week starts, as investors await news from Central Banks: later this week, both the FED and the ECB will have their monetary policy meetings. As for the technical picture, short term the pair stands in range, hovering around its 20 SMA in the hourly chart and indicators around their midlines, showing not much interest around at the time being. Trapped in between 1.3250 and 1.3300 since Thursday, a break of either extreme may trigger some stops and produce a 30/50 pips range. The 4 hours chart maintains the bullish tone, which reflects bulls are still in control. Dips may be seen as buying opportunities even if the pair eases down to the 1.3200 area.
Support levels: 1.3255 1.3210 1.3170
Resistance levels: 1.3295 1.3330 1.3365
EUR/JPY Current price: 130.28
View Live Chart for the EUR/JPY
Yen stands among the strongest currencies across the board these days, and the EUR/USD approaches 130.00 figure, maintaining a bearish tone both in the short and the longer term. The hourly chart shows price well below moving averages and indicators heading lower in negative territory, supporting a retest of Friday low of 130.00; a break below this last should signal a stronger bearish continuation, eyeing the 128.80 level.
Support levels: 130.00 129.40 128.80
Resistance levels: 130.60 131.00 131.70
GBP/USD Current price: 1.5375
View Live Chart for the GBP/USD
The GBP/USD consolidates its recent gains, holding pretty well near the 1.5400 area. Despite the slightly negative tone seem in the hourly chart, with price below 20 SMA and indicators below their midlines, the movement seems barely corrective and far from suggesting a reversal. In the 4 hours chart price develops above a flat 20 SMA that offers dynamic support around 1.5360, while indicators head north right above their midlines, which supports an upward continuation, as bearish corrections stand above the 1.53 level
Support levels: 1.5360 1.5320 1.5290
Resistance levels: 1.5410 1.5445 1.5480
USD/JPY Current price: 98.16
View Live Chart for the USD/JPY
The USD/JPY starts the day below its 100 DMA, currently at 98.45 and immediate resistance level. The hourly chart presents a strong bearish tone, with price well below moving averages, both heading lower above current price, and indicators pointing south after correcting some oversold readings. The 4 hours chart shows a stronger bearish momentum, with past Friday low of 97.95 as level to break to confirm another leg lower.
Support levels: 97.95 97.60 97.20
Resistance levels: 98.45 98.80 99.25
AUD/USD Current price: 0.9252
View Live Chart for the AUD/USD
Opening slightly lower, the AUD/USD stands around the 0.9250 area, pretty neutral according to the hourly chart, with price hovering around its 20 SMA and indicators around their midlines. In the 4 hours chart, technical readings are also neutral, as the price has been trading in between 0.9100 and 0.9300 for already 2 weeks, leaving the pair directionless at the time being. If something, it will be dollar weakness the one setting a trend in the pair the upcoming Wednesday, although Aussie is far from strong and bulls will need to beat sellers waiting around 0.9380 before calling it a victory.
Support levels: 09220 0.9180 0.9135
Resistance levels: 0.9270 0.9310 0.9350

Adamek Contracted To Fight Wladimir, If Vitali Gets Beat
By Ruslan Chikov
According to Roger Bloodworth, trainer for Polish heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek, his fighter could end up facing both Klitschko brothers in the next twelve months. Adamek faces older brother Vitali Klitschko for the WBC championship on September 10 in Poland. If Adamek wins, Bloodworth says there is a conditional clause in the contract which directs the Polish fighter to face WBA/WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko next.
Adamek can't beat either oneComment by TaurusJ27 on 08-06-2011
Wouldn't be surprised when Adamek loses to Vitali he still would get a title shot at Vladimir probably due to he'll be a easy win.Comment by pherber12 on 08-06-2011
Just got a google alert that Vitali stopped training camp to return to Kiev.Comment by Die Antwoord on 08-06-2011
Haye to me didnt want the clause for 2 almost opposite reasons. 1. He is deluded. He to this day probably believes he deserves a rematch with Wlad and deserves more money for that rematch. Haye wouldnt want a 50/50…Comment by GoogleMe on 08-06-2011
If you beat crazy Vitali, Wladimir will be too scared when he enters the ring, cause the man he fears he most in the World is his big brother.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (25)

With three outs to go, the Ozaukee High School baseball team appeared well on the way to an upset win over Grafton last Saturday.But Choo Weisflog had other ideas.Not only did the sophomore ruin the host Warriors' party by stroking a game-tying hit in the top of the seventh, he pitched three innings of scoreless relief as Grafton rallied for a 10-8 nonconference victory."It was all about Choo Weisflog," said Grafton coach Brian Durst. "He took charge out there and had a great game."Ozaukee took an 8-5 lead into the final inning, thanks to a pair of big rallies. After a five-run first inning highlighted by Devon Linzenmeyer's three-run homer, the Warriors tacked on three runs in the fourth.Grafton failed to score in the fifth or sixth before breaking through in the seventh against reliever Zach Beck.
After a pair of Ozaukee errors gave the Black Hawks a run and left a runner on second base with no outs, Will Birch drew a walk. Robbie Doring hit into a fielder's choice but stole second to put two runners in scoring position.After Weisflog delivered a two-run single to tie the game at 8-8, Kevin Scholz drove an 0-2 pitch over the left-field fence for a two-run homer that put the Hawks ahead for good.
Making a trip to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse for last weekend's WIAA state track and field meet was nothing new for Jason Zahn, who qualified for Division 1 competition each of the past two years.But the Grafton senior made his final state appearance his most memorable by coming home a champion. Zahn outdueled Monona Grove senior Theron Baumann to win the discus Saturday, one day after finishing second to Baumann in the shot put.In winning his first state title and becoming Grafton High School's first Division 1 individual champion, Zahn unfurled a toss of 173 feet, 5 inches on his sixth and final attempt. Baumann had the second-best mark at 169-2, fouling on each of his final three throws.Windy conditions and a slick surface in the ring area limited throws throughout the competition, with Zahn and Baumann having both eclipsed 190 feet during the regular season. However, Zahn wasn't about to complain."It was great. I was able to have my best throw on my final attempt, which put some pressure on (Baumann)," he said. "It was a nice way to end the season."Baumann had little trouble winning the shot put with a throw of 60-9-1/4, well ahead of Zahn's 56-4-1/2. But Zahn was pleased with his finish, noting Baumann was a heavy favorite."We were both within two feet of our personal bests. I just wanted to get at least 55 feet," he said.As it turned out, Zahn finished a half-inch ahead of third-place Zach Poker of Oconomowoc in a field of 24 throwers.Led by Zahn's 18-point output, the Grafton boys shared fifth place with West De Pere in the 63-team standings. The Black Hawks' 27 points were their most ever in a Division 1 state meet and trailed only champion Brookfield East (39), La Crosse Central (35), Brookfield Central (30) and Janesville Craig (28)."I'm really happy for our team," Grafton coach Kevin Kriegel said. "Jason had a great meet and met all our expectations, and the rest of our guys came through with strong meets, too."The Hawks' other scoring finishes were a third by the 1,600-meter relay of junior Marcus Hill, senior Kevin Wegner and sophomores Patrick Tobianski and Erick Huertas (3 minutes, 21.39 seconds) and a sixth by junior Zach DeBuhr in the 200 dash (22.4).
The soccer gods smiled on the Grafton High School girls' team last Saturday.Not only did the Lady Hawks stun Hartford, 2-1, in a WIAA Division 1 regional title game to advance to the sectional level, they secured home-field advantage in the process.Grafton's next challenge in the quest for a return trip to the state tournament comes Thursday, June 7, when it hosts Menomonee Falls at 7 p.m. Falls reached the sectional semifinals by upsetting Arrowhead, 1-0, in overtime Saturday.Because the Hawks are a higher-seeded team, they get home field for the next round. "We're still playing, and that's the good thing," said Grafton coach Don Arnold, whose squad used a second-half rally to edge favored Hartford in a game played at Arrowhead.

GMP may boost power at LowellFebruary 16,2013
JAY — Green Mountain Power wants permission to install equipment that will boost the amount of electricity that its turbines in the Lowell Mountain wind project can put out in the New England grid.
The Caledonian-Record reported that Lowell wind operators noticed Tuesday that three of the 21 turbines were not producing electricity. They said capacity has been curtailed by ISO-New England, which runs the New England grid.
That was a concern of the head of the governor's Energy Generation Siting Policy Commission, which was on a tour of the wind project Tuesday.
Green Mountain Power is asking the Vermont Public Service Board to approve its plan. A hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Jay Town Hall.MORE IN This Just InMORRISVILLE Lily Metzler (three goals) and Jamie Barrett (two goals) and Sarah Davis (two...

Circle of Women
Rating: 5 stars 19 19 reviews
P.O Box 381365 Cambridge MA 02238 USA
We mobilize students to provide access to education for girls without it. We collaborate with communities eager to implement innovative, sustainable, and localized solutions to increase girls' access to secondary schools. In doing so, we cultivate a new generation of global citizens by providing students at home with hands-on opportunities in organizational leadership, fundraising, and project management. We also raise public awareness about the health, education, and interests, so that our project becomes a global exchange of information and resources.
In 2009, after 18 months of construction and fundraising about $180,000, Circle opened the doors to its first girls school. The two-story building has twelve classrooms that service the community as a gathering place after school hours. Local leaders registered the school with the Afghan Ministry of Education and designed the curriculum after state standards. In 2010, after the major earthquake hit Pakistan and badly damaged the local secondary school for girls, Circle of Women, in partnership with the Nathiagali Residence Committee, embarked on a large-scale re-building of the girls' school involving the construction and installation of four new bathrooms and a septic tank, a computer lab, two drinking water tanks and a library. Currently, Circle of Women is building a boarding house in Cumbum, India, to increase access to education for girls who would otherwise have to stay at home because of recent increases in reports of sexual assault, and the single-sex (male-only) policy of many local hostels.
Provided funds to barli development institute for rural women, which educates rural, village and tribal women who have not had the opportunity to receive secondary education, to build classroom, computer room and dormitory space for 50 additional students.
provided funds to daraja academy, a free boarding secondary school for girls in east africa, to create additional dormitory housing for 5th year transition students and four secondary classes. Funds also provided for multi-use common room to be used for testing, seminars, study hall and speakers as well as for other social and recreational events.

If you're sharing a computer with other people, one way to ensure security is to give each of those people their own user accounts. That way they'll log in with their own user names and passwords. Have access to their own libraries, not yours, for example. And you can also set up certain restrictions. And that's what we're going to do right now. From the start screen, let's access our PC settings using the keyboard shortcut Windows+I. Next we'll click Change PC Settings because it's over here on the left where you'll see a category labeled Accounts.
Click there. There are three sub categories here. By default, you're looking at your own account. You'll see your own email address that you use to log in. You could change your picture by taking a picture or choosing a different picture using Browse or People. There are some sign in options that we'll be talking about later on in this chapter. For passwords and PINs for example. But down below is where we're going to go up to Other Accounts. When we click here you may not see any other accounts except this option to add an account. Now, I actually have a couple of other people who log in to this computer.
Notice they have administrator levels on a local account and, if I wanted to, I could go to any of those to edit them by selecting them. I see Edit or actually remove them totally. Or, if you want you can add new accounts by clicking the plus sign. Let's do that. Now, typically you're going to sign in with an email address. Like a Microsoft account, a Windows Live, a Hotmail account for example. And you would type that in here. If they don't have one, you could sign up for a new email address for this person. Or you could actually make it a local account by going down to the bottom and signing in without a Microsoft account.
Now in this case, you can see there are two options for signing in. Signing into PCs with your email address obviously lets you do things like download apps from the store and get your online content in the Microsoft Apps section automatically, sync settings. With a local account, you have to create a user name and account for each PC that you use. You'll need a Microsoft account to download apps, so you might have to set that up anyways. And your settings won't be synced across multiple PCs, tablets, smartphones, for example. That's okay. Lets go down to Local Account, just to set one up.
So we have a username here, I'm going to type in Karen. Now we set up a password, I'm going to give her a password. That you don't see unless you click the eye icon. And since you don't see it you're prompted to re-enter that. You can also give a hint down below. And click Next. Now at this point you can see you've added a user. Here it is, Karen, a local account. If this is a child I can click the check box next to, is this a child's account? That way I'll have family safety options turned on for me and I can get reports of PC use.
Now I can go back at anytime and change an account to a child account. We'll be talking about this a little bit later on as well. I'm going to leave it unchecked for now andl click Finish. And you'll notice I now have another local account this time, another user that I can click if I wanted to go in here and edit that account, I could. Notice by default they're a standard user. Click the drop-down, and you'll see that we could change it to Child if we wanted to, or even make them an Administrator, giving them access to all the Admin tools so they could create user accounts, for example.
I'm going to leave it as a standard user and click OK and that's one way to enforce security. Now when Karen goes to use the computer I'll make sure I log off first and she'll be able to log in with her account and not mine unless she knows my user name and password, which of course I wouldn't share. So let's click the Back button, back to our PC settings. We'll press the Windows key on the keyboard to return to the Start screen. And that's how you can set up separate user accounts and restrict access, ensuring Windows security, here in Windows 8.1.

Fatah holds massive rally in Gaza stadium
Published 07/01/2007
Tens of thousands of Fatah supporters packed Gaza's main soccer stadium today in a massive show of strength to boost the movement in its increasingly violent struggle against the Islamic militant group Hamas.
Fatah's strongman in Gaza, Mohammed Dahlan, was given a hero's welcome as he entered the stadium. As he began speaking he shooed away the security guards protecting him.
''Let Hamas shoot me,'' he said as the crowd erupted in applause. Fatah gunmen fired in the air during his speech.
The gathering was the largest Fatah demonstration in Gaza since 1994, when Yasser Arafat returned triumphantly to Gaza from exile in the framework of a partial peace deal with Israel.
The demonstration came as masked Fatah gunmen released a video of a kidnapped Hamas official, threatening to expand attacks against Hamas if it rejects calls to disband its militia in the Gaza Strip.

Game Worn Glossary
Game worn jersey: Defines any jersey worn during an NHL game. This can include jerseys worn for a single period, to an entire season.
Game issued jersey: A jersey that was made for a player to wear, but for unforeseen circumstances such as an injury, was not worn on the ice.
Set: Contains a jersey for every member of the team, and is worn for a defined time frame determined prior to the season's start. Jerseys will be used for the duration of the time frame barring any jersey being too heavily damaged, or a significant milestone occurring. This will result in the jersey being removed from the set and replaced.
COA: Acronym for "Certificate of Authenticity"; also referred to at times as a "Letter of Authenticity".
Team repair: Any fix done to a jersey by the training staff. Predominantly this consists of holes and rips that have been sewn together or patched up.
Board burn: A type of mark that occurs when the jersey is subjected to a high level of friction which results in the polyester fabric melting and hardening. This happens most frequently when a player is hit against the boards.
Stick mark: Encompasses any black or dark marks on a jersey which may have come from impact with black stick tape, or a puck. For goalie jerseys these marks are frequently referred to as "puck marks".
Photo Matching: The act of comparing visible marks on a jersey to photographs taken during its use in a game. The goal of this is to further confirm the jerseys authenticity and add a unique side piece to accompany the jersey.

Big is beautiful, or so the old saying goes, but in the world of laptops a gargantuan frame often comes with a similarly giant price tag. HP's Pavilion dv7 doesn't conform to that stereotype, however. Generously proportioned and available for just £487, it promises a hell of a lot of laptop for surprisingly little outlay. HP's Pavilion dv7 is a hulking 17.3in desktop replacement with a miniature price tag.
