Update Information

I have the recorded meeting for anyone to see, if they would like to send a confidential email to me, they can receive the recording that way. At this time, the blogger has not made the recording available to all blog users, they are in the testing phase and only the draft blog is using them until all the bugs are out of the programing. I apologize for this inconvenience , but will still get the recording to anyone that would like to see it for themselves. As to the whole town knowing about the recording, I spoke to one person in regards to this, and two others where listening in on the conversation, so they like to run their mouths, and I do know exactly who they where. Both where females and I can bet I know which one ran the mouth. She has been far from polite in the past and had the rotten neighbor of mine as the best man in her wedding. I do know a bit more than you folks give credit for. That's ok, I will continue to do things to protect who I can, until there is no need for it. If that is a problem for some of you, then I would say you need to change the way that you believe life should only be your way.

Respectfully Always,
Rick A. Talford

PS... A nice bit of Information to those that believe the law is equal to everyone--

“That’s Different”
Location- Talford residence at approx. 9 PM
Involved- Kristina Talford and Chief Adam Meyers
Date- Sept. 8th , 2007

I had a conversation with the Chief of Police. I let him know how concerned I was, about the info on the blog, and if he as a Law Official had even looked at it. He replied , “No, and I wont”.

I asked him why, he said “Because it’s a blog.” I asked him if he would look at it, he said “No.” I told him that the info on it was privet and personal, and I wanted to know how someone was getting that info. I was worried about my family. Then he stated “ A person could sit across the street and take pictures of the house ,and just sit there staring and there would not be anything we could do.”

I said that was wrong and He said, “ It was the law, and that's how it is.”

I then asked him, now you can’t tell me that if someone were doing this to a Law Officials’ Family that it wouldn't be investigated . He replied, “Yes it would be ,because that is different”

.
I asked how it’s different, and He said “It just is.” Just like when he had people around his house, and Several Law Officers from Dunn and Pierce Co. came there with their shotguns ready.

I stated , but if that happened here , that they wouldn't come here like that. He said “No, but I might come.”

I was getting really upset with him , I told him that I couldn't see why it would be different. He again said “But it is different.”

PSS-- One more bit of information---Bob Rupakus yet again has a closed session police committee meeting scheduled for tonight at 5 PM at the village auditorium--probably to try and get the recordings of the meetings banned, but there is no legal way he can, by state law. We have never had every police committee meeting in closed session until Bob became the head of the committee, if you can, start questioning him on why he feels everything he is in control of, has to be behind closed doors. Maybe it is for Bob and the Gang to go over the Appeal Brief I filed recently. This is still costing the Citizens of Elmwood due to the False Charges and Restraining Order that was received by Jodi Pulk with more False paperwork from the Board. There trumped up charges of Disorderly Conduct failed twice and where thrown out by the Judge. How is ther Order valid when the charges where thrown out as not believable.

note---the meeting held for the police committee was much the same as before-- There was a quorum of the board with 4 members being present--Bob Rupakus, Pam Marson, Susan Dzubay, and Doug Claflin all met behind closed doors from the start again, not having the meeting in a public location for citizens to be able to be part of the begining. As everyone knows , the meeting must start in open session, the information on why the meeting is occurring and if a quorum is present needs to be given, then they can go into closed session. This again was not followed. At 4:50 PM I entered the Village Hall Building and the Village Office was dark and locked, as well as the dining hall where all public meetings are held. The Chief was in his office, so I stepped in a bit and had a chat. He was unaware if he was going to be involved in the meeting. 4:57 I went back into the lobby to see if the dining hall had been opened up for the meeting yet, and it had not. About 5:03 I heard the door for the Village Office being locked from the inside. They had begun the meeting and had it in a private location. I rechecked the dining hall to see if there was any lights on, and there was not. I stepped back into the PD where the Chief was still sitting, and asked him to note, the closed session meeting was not held in a public location, and they knew I was there waiting and still went around the legal process slated by the state. I have been watching all these meetings since 2004, and until recently, these meetings where always open to the public. Now Bob has every Police Committee and nearly every Personnel and Finance Meeting have been going to this closed session. What has to be hid so much? They continue to fail the state steps in closed session meetings, and evan though the information is easily read, they continue to do as they please.
