Could this be the start of another lawsuit? Hmmm, censorship is one of the big words used by the punch drunk reporter. I wonder if he knows his bestest buddy Brucey and gang are doing this?

SO, if this site is banned, is the "other" observer site banned? if not, I would consider this discriminatory in nature.

I can confirm it. The message after saying you are banned is: if you have further inquiries contact info@warehamobserver.com

Is that you Bill? Have you gotten any "inquiries" ?

Yes and not one.

edit: there were four new site registrations this morning.

I heard that the selectmen are going to hire Paul Shooter to patrol all town buildings looking for visitors to this site.  If you are caught surfing onto here, then bam!  Paul Shooter, with his ninja skills and cat like reflexes, springs up from a potted plant or down from a ceiling tile and slaps you with a fungo bat (they only allowed him a fungo bat, aka a harmless plastic kid's bat that doesn't hurt, but repeated slaps with it will annoy you until you turn it off and log onto "The Selectmen are Gods and If You Disagree then You're a Vile Power Elite Bastard.com" aka the rag site.

Any truth to the rumor that the Cub Investigative Reporter (CIR, pronounced like a type of canine), is going to write under the pseudonym:

Ina Phogg?

FOCUS!
APRIL 6, 2010

The attorney there is Sarah Wunsch. She is familiar with Wareham and the nonsense.

Nora, something that has been bothering me and I've heard nothing more about, would be the library book sales (used).  I know that Liz Pezzoli said some things that caused quite a stir with the library.  I can't remember every-
thing that she said, however.   I do know that she would collect the money for the sold books.  Apparently, one day she was phoned and told she would no longer be needed to function in that small capacity.  I do remember that it upset her (no bad words anyone, she was wrong and we know that).  I am stating fact.  I also recall that there was not a lot of money taken in from the book sales, as she would mention it in conversation.   I am not even sure, at this hour of the morning who complained about this money going into a private account by MJP, but it stated that she did do this.

I knew MJP and can't fathom her doing anything illegal or unethical.  I can see this money being put into a petty cash fund, which would surely have had some type of record keeping.  I feel that this was just another play to anger us.  What can you tell us about this, to set the record straight.  Thank you.  Have a happy thanksgiving.

Yes, I know.  As I stated - Liz was phoned and nicely told that she would no longer be needed in that capacity any longer.  So yes, I know she was told to stay away.   Of course, a normal reaction from library staff, after reading her Observer jabs, stabs and lies, would be to not want her around. 

I didn't say the book sale money went to petty cash.  Slager said that money went into a private bank account.  I NEVER SAID I BELIEVED THAT.  Liz or whoever was or is collecting the used book sale money should be able to tell anyone how much money was made selling used books.  It is not a secret so be careful not to make it sound that way.     The amount of $ made is not of big concern.   I recall her - once in a while - mentioning the amount.

I made the statement about a petty cash account, which most businesses have.  My comment was that I couldn't believe MJP would have a private bank account for this money.  A petty cash account, yes, I would believe that, a common business practice.         I'm not sure what you mean by asking if she is one of the guilty who profited from the library claims.

I did not want to incite you or anyone.  I just asked a simple question of Nora.
Twice I have posted that Slager's letter sounded like it was copied out of a book or newspaper story.   A week or two after his story was one from North Andover, MA., which told of a town employee, dept. head, who was selling old town property on EBay and keeping the money, etc..  So, again - I do not believe his story about the library.  I just wonder what they do with the book sale money.  Nora, what does the library do with the used book sale money?

i will bet that the yearly book sales bought is less than a thousand dollars a year when they were down yearly  perhaps nora bicki can help us with this figure   also this is a poor town there was no 3 million dollars given to the libraryin a 10 year period just kook at the spinning fund rasing  have they rasied more than 300 thousand in how many years from a hand full of people , i remember that the origional library was built for around 2 and a half million dollars  most of the money from grants from the state and federal gov and low cost interest loans  and i dont think they could  not raise more than  100 k  back then from private donners back then  and i think it was a lot less than 100 k , there are not a lot of bill gates and donald trumps living in town.   now i will say this if in 2 more monthes a police originzation does not investigate slagers accusations , that will be 3 monthes from his saying them , then they will be saying that his accusatins have no   validity and that he is a natural born liar.

Thank you.  I really didn't think that the money from the book sales would be as high as "possibly" $1,000 annually.  I am not really concerned with the amount of money made from the used book sales.  I knew of the book sales, but never attended one.  I'm curious as to how they pick a book to sell.  Is is after x amount of years old?  Stuff like that.  And......after the comment made of a private bank account, I wondered where it went.  Do you buy more books?  Is it to create a children's program?  That's all I really want to know.  Trust me, I was NOT trying to carry Slager's lies across the blogging lot.

Nope, no Trumps here.  Don't forget, I was a Tobey Hospital special, I was here through hurricane Carol, I went to Everett School & The Pilgrim Memorial School,  the library now occupies a portion of where the school was before it burnt down.

I know police officers in Wareham sometimes read from this site.  I believe that Slager's letter/article was taken to the top of the ladder.  If nothing has been done it is because they realize he has problems.  His problems are way beyond being a natural born liar.  He is ill.  I think everyone sees through this.

I will try to give you all my best recall of what was earned at the yearly used book sales.  First books that are sold at the used book sales are donated by the public.  They aren't picked out of a selction, just what has been donated.  When there were just yearly sales (a week in July) the Friends made about $2,500.00 at first, then the sales increased with better publicity to about $3,000.00.  Next we tried twice yearly sales and made $3,800.00.  Eventually because of the increased donations the monthly used book sales were started.  The Friends made approximately $22,000.00 in used books sales for our last  physcal year which is May 1st through April 30th.  We owe many thanks to all the wonderful people that donate their books to us to sell.  The money from there sales are used in various ways for the library, such as; buying books, paying for child and adult programs, paper for the copiers, office supples, etc.

Where is the dropoff point for books donated to the library?  I have a stack to donate but I am unsure where to go.

born  i agree with dan your on the right side of things in wareham and keep up the good work , all of who post here are for  a better wareham   and i know your family has been in wareham a long time ,lets fight for a better wareham together,  i am really suprised they made this kind of money , i knew  the books were donated by regular folks to help the library ,  i just have one problem i know liz as you do and if she had not associated her self with slager this town would be a better place with out him and for this i cant forgive herand i  cant see how she can walk into the library as a trustee and hold her head high wiyh the dignity  this position requires  and i will say she cant fill the shoes of pricilla porter who was a trustee before this lawsuit and was forced off as a trustee  because of people like brocton brenda who she associates with weekly , they are seen together at tempest knob beach all the time,i guess she gooted  what she wanted a library on its knees, her freind susan forced out as  head librian , because it was allways about liz.   and born  i agree with 99% of the time but i just cant take liz pezzoli. keep up the good work in posting here we need your insights about wareham born.

This is clearly a political website and if a town library is blocking it at the behest of town officials it seems to me that not only would the ACLU be interested in accepting a class action first amendment lawsuit, but the state library board would be interested as well.

A group of citizens could sue for being deprived of their first amendment rights at a tax funded library.

Not only that, the American Library Association ( http://www.ala.org/ ) should be kept apprised of the situation.

If you have you ducks in a row, a press release might be in order.

I thank you.  I stopped reading the Courier years ago because it hardly contained anything but Plymouth and Bourne news.  It was not the Courier of years past when Win Cushman was our star reporter, gone, but not forgotten.  It was brought to my attention a few months ago of the connection with Slager to the Courier, Liz to the S-T & Enterprise, etc..  I honestly had no idea of this.  I actually thought he was from out of the blue to write for and then take over her paper.  I believe I know who you are now and if I am right, I totally understand why Liz upsets you and I have to tell you that I had many conversations (brief because I would get so angry that I would swear and walk away) about her critical and unfounded articles about the library, etc..  I was mindboggled that she could not understand why "her library friends" were upset with her.  Sarcastically, I would tell her why.  She didn't get it.  I don't bother any more.  My friend that helped her (you know her) is also disgusted.  Someday I will tell you about the property issue.  I can't say there is a friendship anymore, just a thread of old family loyalty left.  She walks into this friend's place in the same way that she walks into the library and it amazes me.  If I had done the damage to this library, and this town I would be walking with my head down and never set foot in the library again.  I can't answer how she does this and the only thought in my head is that she feels there is no one left there to care if she walks in or not.
Priscilla Porter is unique as the other members of the library staff were. 

I think I wrote this before, but she used to write about her friend Brenda and the "children" in her paper.  It didn't take long to figure out who she was talking about and before you know it Brockton Brenda was a selectman.  I and this is just my very strong opinion, think that she was going to direct Brenda from behind the scenes.  Teach her the ropes.  They make a great couple.  I know they speak and meet at various spots.  I think that she thought she would have more power over Brenda.  I am sure she has taught Brenda well on the workings of town hall, her likes and dislikes.  I avoid Liz any chance I get.  While at work last week I overheard her talking about the "hate bloggers and hate website".  I had all I could do to stay in my chair.  I prayed, "Lord keep your arm around me and your hand over my mouth."  As I am writing this I have a knot in my stomach.  She was sitting next to Brenda after TM when Brenda made the comment about "all these assholes, who never come to TM, etc" and that was my loving mate who nicely told Brockton Brenda - "Excuse me, but I am one of those assholes you're talking about."  Then, Brenda charged at him with the scream of a fisher cat!  I know you don't want to hear about Liz, but I want you to understand that I didn't know Slager's background with her.  I did tell her when I read things she wrote that were totally uncalled for, that she was wrong.  And yes, though I tried to explain it differently, I was always trying to say exactly your short version - It's all about Liz.

I am sorry for what you have been through and I sincerely understand your feelings.  I hope the little sunshine you have will make your days ahead better.

One of my favorite parts in participating in this blog is hearing the backgrounds and personal insights of you all (or y'all for Larry)..You don't disappoint here bornof. All of what you say fits right in with the limited view I have myself. For instance, as you talked about Brenda's entry into Wareham's "politics" (which I was unaware) I recalled a point in the meeting when "Move Wareham Forward" was introduced. She (Brenda) said (paraphrasing) "I didn't know anything, but I knew I/we could do better" (Really??)...Also, you give me insight into Liz "the Cat Lady" (whom I don't know)..and you obviously have known her for a long time and are (I believe) giving her more than a fair chance at "redemption"... she seems to fall shy. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know. I think the best way to try and "fix" things is at the polls. The dominoes will start to fall then. Click the date below my "signature" and as time ticks by, watch how it appears to speed up. April 6 is coming..let's affect some change then, starting now.

born   thank you for your kind words .   i too will be out in april to vote these villians out in april

FYI, I am new to following along with the town happeings and I have nver heard of either name mentioned, Schneider / Begley so i dont know if they are associated with Mr & Mrs. Moderator (and I assume that is the case with the MAJORITY of the town).

Point being, everything should be done so that "someone like me" DOES KNOW IF THERE IS AN ASSOCIATION OR NOT.  THis is the time to do it to show an established realtionship and as the election moves on it is evident that one of these people is not a change, it is simply a mask for them.

Watch the videos above and also be aware that the MWF just happened to appear after the MBF movement. Then if you view the video of the meeting, you can see the agenda that is clearly a dog/pony show for the Selectmen and their agenda. It backfired at Town meeting, and Mrs. Begley commented on that in a courier comment section, blaming special interest groups (which she is obviously a part of).

MWF2??
