BC it a person who does not know how to say something nice about anyone. Her blogs are filled with expressions of a complete paranoid person. BC is the ruin of Dodd, maybe Clotty and for sure JT
October 27, 2008 at 6:25 am
BC latest blog reads like a kindergarden pupil she is all over the place. BC tries to influence with opinion that are hers alone.She talks of donations to fire department, wheres the money. She forgot about two yuears of no income and buying their own fire engine and paying for their own town parties all for the good of the LBTS citizens. BC now hates the VFD and she should be treated exactly the way she treats them no respect. BC is a loathe to this community and more and more people despise her and anyone seen with her.

Before the January election Commissioner Dodd firmly declared he would not be VM’s puppet. But actions show whose puppet he is now-bc
in the camp of self destruction
October 28, 2008 at 5:16 am
I am so glad there is finally a forum to stand up against BC’s hate-filled rage against decent LBTS citizens.
October 28, 2008 at 8:38 am
Thank you for the great response to hear the truth.
Many readers have expressed their enjoyment in reading the Chinese proverbs. It is amazing how truthful statements make people SMILE
Stay tuned to receive more smiles.

Bc forgot the true great accomplishments of the CIC in the past several years. Election of two NON-Political Commissioners with the result of their actions have changed the LBTS government. The main criteris these two gentlemen live by is ‘THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.”
The CIC got term limits passed. The CIC has taken control away from the developers in this town and handed it back to the people. The CIC was instrumental in change of the Town Manager and Town Attorney and the greatest accomplishment of the CIC was the return of the Volunteer Fire Department.
Bc writes in her blog…” The History of CIC…OUR OWN MEMBERS have initiated and worked successfully…”Did you forget bc?You are no longer a member of the CIC.

October 28, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Bc was overheard lying when she stated that many people have left the CIC. The truth is The CIC has grown and is growing monthly-far in excess of over 200 families!
Bc relied on hearsay to report discussions (at her previously posted so-called”secret “CIC meeting which was another lie)CIC does not have “secret” meetings.
Bc has layed her cards on the table-15 stories in the North
5 stories on Commercial Blvd
3 over 1 on El Mar Drive
SHE IS PRO DEVELOPMENT. Clearly NOT the will of the people But apparently supported by Commissioner Dodd,her minion.
October 28, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Bc claims Vm tying hands of developers. WAKe Up Bc the citizens want the developers hands tied.
October 28, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Bc in her slanted report states that the Furths are interpreting the heightt limits in our town. Yet she fails to say that John Thompson is also interpreting the height limits in town to his liking. Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.
October 28, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Bc, MAYOR MINNET AND COMMISSIONER DODD in their granduer plans for Commercial Blvd plan to wipe out all our treasured stores and turn them into a 5 story developers paradise , destroying the very fabric of our town. THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE DOES NOT WANT A CONCRETE JUNGLE DOWN COMMERCIAL BLVD.
October 28, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Bc twists and turns and gets her facts wrong. Let’s put to rest her lies and say exactly what the Vice Mayor said. VM said he will clearly support a referendum by the peoplle to determine whether we will have a 33 or 44 foot height limit in town-whatever the majority of the people want is exactly what he will support.
October 28, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Here is a challenge for readers:
Look back at Bc’s past history. Try to find one positive statement about the town of LBTS. You will find bitterness, attacks, innuendos, and hearsay. How can everybody be so inept and wrong ? and Bc always thinks she’s right?????????????????
October 29, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Jack Webb line just the facts. BC so skews the facts they are a pleasure to fix.
Volunteer firefighters do not go by a call where they can render assistance on way to fire station, with a radio the Vollie can give a size up to incoming units almost immediately and help expedite the response. Volunteers come dressed in all sorts of clothes they leave their diner, the beach, their work place, all to go to the station to help their neighbors. These bad men and women, I guess in BC’s book, should wear a uniform. Of course when you think about it, wearing a tee shirt and shorts on the beach is a terrible idea. I thinke the VM should have worn fire boots bunker pants, helmet and coat, that really makes sense when you go to a drowing call.
BC is possesed by VM seems truly PSYCHO . He is all BC talks about. BC is over the top. This is certifiable activity. On and On and On about VM, BC has just plane lost it.
BC forgot to mention that both the Major and the x fire chief said the VM was the only one who went into the water to aid him. I guess that point was just neglected on BC’s part. I also watched the ex Chief say a doctor told him all the young people stood there and watched the Major struggle to get back to shore and that the VM was the only one who went out to help. BC thinks the VM is very bad person for doing this. BC also forgot to say that the medical work on the beach was the sole responsiblility of AMR, they were there way before VFD, It is ok BC, we know you are trying to be as prejudice as you can against the VFD and VM and the truth really doesn’t matter.
BC, love your blog, I have a bet with a friend that your were a lonely child with no friends and that is why you are so mean and nasty in your middle age. Try to just say something nice once an awhile it might be good therapy.
October 29, 2008 at 4:51 am
Removing the overlay districts was Dodd’s main campaign promise. His rallying call was no-more Oriana’s! Tear it down (and get sued), never again! It is inconceivable that Dodd was shocked to hear that when you strip away the overlay district, (which is how the commision implemented the maximum 4 story height where it was 3 stories before) you are left with the underlying 3 story building height.
Overlay means just that to layer over an existing zoning or height that does not go away. If you strip off the overlay you have what is underneath.
His only “real” problem with Oriana (now that he got elected) is that it is missing a little greenspace, built a little too close to the road, and a little bit too high. Otherwise he seems to have no problem with inviting the developers back to tear down all the remaining small boutique hotels along the beach combine the properties and build “Orianas with a twist” Just as long, 200 feet, maybe two feet less height at 48 feet, perhaps 20 foot front setback instead of 15, and a little more greenspace somewhere…not much of a difference!
BC reports that Dodd was duped by those who did his campaign for him. That he did not realize that repealing the overlay district would take the height back down to 33 feet. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not rocket science! When you are running for Commissioner, you should know what you are promoting to get citizens votes. I think it is the citizens of LBTS who have been duped by Stuart Dodd! And now his svengali, BC is promoting 5 stories on Commercial Blvd…naturally, Dodd won’t be far behind.
He has now dumped his “bring back the developer” agenda onto the Masterplan Steering Committee and planning and zoning for them to do all the work that the Commissioners themselves should be doing and taking responsibility for. Dodd’s style is to delegate as he calls it “donkey work” and “studying of minutia” to other more talented, dedicated, and skilled people…while he goes off in his own little world…and then show up at the end to grab credit and ride on the glory of other’s real accomplishments.
It seems we’ve ended up with a Old-guard wolf in new-guard clothing. So sad for all those who waited and worked for years and years for a new day in LBTS. BC, your name will live in infamy in LBTS long after you are gone. Congratulations.
October 29, 2008 at 5:28 am
Despite his miss guided ways under the influence of BC we are all indebted to John Thompson for the many hours of work on research etc. that benefited the town.
Having said that I must say with regret that the respect, admiration, and appreciation I have always had for John has been severly damaged by his apparent assistance to BC in her continuous effort to destroy the CIC and the VFD.
Such actions on the part of JT is not understood except perhaps he feels the need to join in another fight, one that has no positive influence on the citizens of our town.
John, together with Stu Dodd are today’s most dispised citizens in LBTS.
May God have mercy on their despicable souls.

Dodd revealed to me in conversation one night that in 16 years he has been taking care of other people’s boats, that he never received a tip…never not even once!
You know he is not even smart enough to keep that to himself! Well LBTS will not be tipping him either, quite the opposite…
October 29, 2008 at 12:19 pm
After last town meeting Dodd and BC were all in a circle of the Old Guard groupies. These are the same people that a year ago Dodd was trying to have destroyed with ethics complaints etc. These people dislike BC and Dodd but are playing them like a pro poker player. Inside they hate them outside they play nice to try and make believe they support the two. We all know the animosity these people have for these two, but BC is so desperate for a friend she tries to believe they are on her side. NO WAY. They are using the two and will get burnt in the end. Hey groupies remember everything you say is written down,
October 29, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Incredible responses,Thank You.
23 reader’s responses have had to be deleted because we could not print the contents. They were just too agressive. It is amazing how many people distrust and dislike Bc
October 29, 2008 at 2:35 pm
BC is possessed by VM everyone is sick of the diatribes against the VM. We are all beginning to feel she is off her rocker. This is just to much hate for one person to have. I see a major breakdown in future with this kind of continue meaness from one person. WOW YIKES we are all getting the same feeling she is overkilling with the attacks and it is hurting the few supporters she has left. Case in point she told us look out the Sun Sentinel is going to tell all. While it came out today everyone thought it was fair article, BC lied to all of us no major hit piece just good reporting. BC only knows hit pieces not how to tell the facts truthfully.
October 29, 2008 at 4:30 pm
BC is not very smart, she is now getting caught in her own cespool she has created
Couple of clear lies that ahve not come true
Sun Sentinel is going to wrtie expose on VFD, happen today nice article
BC forgot to memtion that the eyewitness’s including the Major both said the VM was the only one who came into the water to help him. All the others just stood by, the hate is so strong she cant force herself to tell truth. VM is a bad man because he risked his life to help to people in distress. WOW, YIKES what a bad man.
BC attacks the town manager why, because no one will talk to her in town hall they all know she is off the edge and spins what is said to her. That’s right, no one in town employ want any part of her. They dislike her immensly. When she asks a question no small talk nothing just short and concise responses to her requests. They dont trust her and I mean dont trust her.
October 30, 2008 at 6:20 am
BC twist facts and now no one will talk to her so she has to make up facts. She has burnt her bridges all over town and is looked on with complete negativity from most.

LOOKs like Bc is showing fear of the CIC STRENGTH , The same CIC that Bc was badmouthing at the commission meeting. Bc falsely reported that CIC membership lost a great number of members. .HUMMMMM>NOT TRUE.Membership is on the INCREASE thanks to lies amd a support of the truth.
That is the greatness of your new site. The truth will come out and Bc will self destruct by own lies. Bc told a big lie about CIC membership loss. Now Bc is eating own words and CONFIRMS the idea that the CIC is indeed powerful by admitting that the Sunsentine fire service poll numbers will now increase in favor of support of the VFD – now that the citizens have been made aware the poll exists. OF course Bc could not accept defeat honestly. She accuses the CIC of possible cheating. So typical of Bc.
October 30, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Just a few thoughts……
Will some people just learn to get along?
Everyone should support the LBTS VFD!
Sometimes things are better left unsaid
Unless you can help the situation, keep your thoughts private.
Come to the Commission meetings and participate
Kindly thank all local politicians for their time and effort.
October 30, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Today on Bc, I do not know how one person has so much hate,it scary to have some one like this talking about the vfd,poor Carr was on vacation and this is how she writes about a person..laughing and wishing hurt on them.the site would be fine if it said news but to have a site to only bash 2 comm is sad she really needs to get a life..if you talk to anyone on the streets in her building no one agrees with her ways, hey fact is fact and hers are pure lies. Commissioner Silverstone helps in the town a lot is a great Guy, he always has a smile..Now compare him to dodd who doesn’t help a hand only to support the nasty web site of bc.The VM if you get to know him he is funny out going and would help anyone..If I had a fire in my home a small town I would love to have the VM and Silverstone helping..
October 31, 2008 at 7:55 am
Today BC put out one her most hate filled lies. The Halloween party a non political event was described by this liar as an event run by the Chamber and Town businesses. Mark and Crissy Furth and Comm Silverstone have put this together. This liar hates so much she can not give credit to the many and I mean many volunteers from CIC and VFD who halped these three people put togther one of the greatest halloween parties in town history. The woman just hates and hates and hates and will lie to continue her hate filled stories. BC your boat is inking and in your case no one will throw you a life preserver.
October 31, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Bc is self destructing. Bc lies again and gets caught. Bc writes that The Chamber Of Commerce is uniting the town by running the Halloween Party when in fact The only thing the Chamber of Commerce did for the entire Halloween event was pay a measljy $35 for a candy table which is appreciated. Commissioner Silverstone and Marc and Crissie Furth labored for 2 weeks decorating with the help of CIC and VFD volunteers.
Commissioner Dodd was a NO SHOW who backed out at the very last minute,Typical Dodd.
October 31, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Bc was seen slithering aroung the Halloween Party. Voices were heard asking how Bc could even show her TWO Face at the event with hubbie in tow and a chorus of BOOOOOOS heard in the background. Yikkes,HUMMM
October 31, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Slapbc has recieved an enormous amount of hits, far more than ever expected. The vast majority comments sent in are many of the same thoughts expressed on this site. The people are sick and tired of the continual lies and untruths Bc writes on the hate filled blog.
November 1, 2008 at 7:34 am
By the Sea Times!!
Our beach patrol works as intended!
No more Orianas!!!!
Honest reporting of facts, please!
Every opinion counts!
AMR is the far better choice!
Don’t criticize people!
Support the VFD!!!!
Sometimes you have to look at things defferently to get the true message!
November 1, 2008 at 5:02 pm
BC will now have to go back on the attack and this week, every lie will be countered on this site. YIKES.BC got personal many times in her blog, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. I think whoever is in charge should let all those negative blogs out ,she deserves to hear how the people feel about her. She never cared what BC said about her ex friends. If I were one of those people who she kept secret notes on I am not sure how I would handle it.

November 2, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Bc cried foul before even knowing the facts.! Bc’ doesn’t seem to even know the meaning of over-used , worn-out cliche”Throw under the Bus.”
It means to let someone else take the blame for your wrongdoing .
The VFD Beach Rescue got blamed for procedures that were not the responsibility of the VFD . The VFd explained they were not guilty of remarks made against them. Nothing wrong with that!.
Does Bc think the VFD should take blame for tasks which the VFD is not responsible?????????
I believe that if Bc was driving a car and was blamed for a hit and run accident which killed a pedestrian and she was not guilty, she would report the license plate of the guilty driver to the authorities without hesitation. Do you think she would call this “Throwing Someone Under The Bus?” Hardly!!!!!!
November 2, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Bc waspouting that the new SLAPBCBYTHESEA website was referring to violence when in fact the definitoin by NO means is violent. Read the Main site page. YetBc constantly uses catchphrases such as “Throw Under the Bus”" sounds violent ; you bet. And the original meaning of the cliche is indeed a violent jesture. Read its history. YIKES!
November 2, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Isn’t it alarming to know,BC,an individual who never graduated from college is now an expert on public safety contracts. Bc tries to create problems in every department in town.With every negative and unfounded statement Bc’s credibility diminishes.
One day BC complains about the Public Finance Dept. Another day Bc complains about the Public Works Dept. No matter what our dedicated town workers are doing , they are doing it wrong and that is why the major force of workers shutter when they see BC coming. As long as it is associated with the town, there is something wrong with it.
Commissioner Dodd is apparently following this same train of thought toward town employees,not giving them the respect they deserve.
November 2, 2008 at 9:15 pm
bc touts the recommendations of Commissioner Dodd for the VFD Oversight Committee.
Here are some facts:
1. Two of Dodd’srecommendations were full fledged participating members of the OLD VFD that kept their beer hidden in the pop machine in the fire station. Observed by many descent VFD members.
2. These two men sat around the fire station, drinking beer waiting to answer a fire call. Observed by many descent VFD members.
3.Another recommended Dodd oversight member was a past VFD member who was terminated for failure to answer his minimunm required drills and calls after multiple notifications of these deficits.
4. The final former VFD member recommended by Dodd for the Oversight Committed created so many problems with the fire dept. that members refused to ride with him.
November 2, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Found more “violence” reference in writing of bc, the same bc who complained “SLAP” was violent! Bc writes ‘Scorched Earth.” Bc’s “Scorched Earth” cliche : Truly originated as classic military strategy whereby Generals would order troops to burn supplies so retreating troops would not have replenishment .
No violence on “Slap” website but references by Bc seem to be repeatedly using rather violent choice of words.
November 3, 2008 at 6:19 am
If Bc and Dodd are for the VFd,Why do they not support them?Bc website is all about the VFd,who is doing a great job. It is nice to see the VFd all over Town,helping out anyone who ask . To me it looks like Bc and Dodd hate the VFd they are a great Bunch of Guys who Bc is out to hurt.Why did Dodd want to bring back the Drunk VFd as a oversight comm?
Ed the Town insurance person and so many more?Why has Dodd never been a man to sit down with the VFD and have a meeting and askimg why these people that he has chosen to be in the oversight comm was not brought back in the VFd now? I think Dodd is on a Witch hunt along with Bc and do not want to bring the town as one. Dodd should be a shame of his self. Dodd abd Bc ran the cic. Why did they want the VFd to be back was it to win the election and then turn on the ones that got you elected? Bottom line is Dodd is on a witch hunt

It is nice to see another perspective to BC continual attacks on the VM and VFD. BC in one report memtioned the VM 93 times this is a sign of a real problem that BC should look into. Keep up the good work SLAPBC is now on my favorite button and look forward to reading it everyday.
November 3, 2008 at 10:19 am
So what! Because a name is identified as the writer, it does not make written statements true. It can be proven bc has printed lies using her name.
Nor are statements unture because a name is not attached.
Cosstitutional attorneys report that anonymity is included in the right to free speech. James Madison, Alexander Hall and John Jay wrote anonimously in support of the constitution and ideas of American democracy- The most constructive purposes have assumed anonymity.
In 1960 The United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of anonymity and would not allow infringement on the First Amendment which guarantees our right of free speech.
Keep Bcs toes to the fire and continue to write the truth. We like your new site, Slapbc.
November 3, 2008 at 8:42 pm
There Bc goes again– Half truths and innuendos. Just because she gets info from an official book, she thinks she’s absolutely right. But as usual, she did not turn the next page. Apparently her crusade to hurt the VFD has reached an all time low. When will Commissioner Dodd realize that attacking the VFD will do nothing but hurt him and he will continue to lose the trust of the people in the community?
November 3, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Bc, we will be anxiously awaiting your indepth reporting on the recommendations of Commissioner Dodd on his unbiased selection of his Oversight Committee members. When you referred to those two previous hard serving VFD veterans , you missed a funny story. Those two veteran gentleman argued about what brand of beer to put in the soda machine! OUCH! OUCH!
November 3, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Going back to one of BC’s old posts, BC continues to lie. To claim the VM may have caused addition distress to the drowning victim further shows BC’s complete and overwhelming hate for the VM. Nothing could be further from the truth and clearly all who were there know the truth. The truth is simple, the woman was on the backboard on the way to the ambulance before VM received any assistance.
November 3, 2008 at 9:39 pm
BC , We have some investigative work for you to do.
Everybody wants to know if Commissioner Dodd Graduated from college with an engineering degree as he claimed before he was elected.
When can we expect to see Dodd’s bio appear on the town’s website? Our patience is running out. Zipppp!!!! Zaaaaaam!
November 4, 2008 at 9:42 am
Today on BC web site , I was at the polls the same time she was
and did people go up to her and say keep the info coming NO..was there
any promblems with Parking NO it was easy in and easy out..Why is this
women not telling the truth..at the time Bc arrived the line was not around
the block it had Died down..DODD ordered this and that like he is the boss in town..the parking was in and out..LIes and more Lies from her site and they did not hand out pens and clip boards another lie..Bc the only thing
she has going for her is pure lies the only thing ture was the guy came out and got voters from 33 to go up…..
November 4, 2008 at 3:03 pm
BC is off the wall again!
Now BC thinks she’s an English teacher correcting the VFD incident report. WOW!!! Is BC in LaLa Land! Here are somethings Bc failed to say:
What everyone agrees on and BC failed to mention is that no one went into the water to assist the struggling rescuer with his victim except the VM.
How can you condemn a man for going in the water to offer assistance to two people who were in jeopardy?
The VFD incident report is created immediately after the call and only relates to VFD members. There is no rational to put any civilian names in the incident report made directly after a call. In this case, the civilian may not even want his name made public.
To try to salnder the VM in this manner shows BCs absolute prejudice towards the VM.
This is just another example of BC spewing her hate at the VM.
November 5, 2008 at 4:48 am
I found a wonderful phrase that might decribe bc…contention is better than lonliness. Obviously a very lonely girl inside and must not think much of herself. When you are full of self-hatred you cannot help but project hatred outward onto other people. In psychological terms it is called projection. Often it is negativity against the world in general and can be exhibited as a laser-focused obsession…which in BC’s case is pinpointed against VM and everyone who doesn’t hate him like she wants them to.
This mental and emotional illness appears to exist in BC long before Jerry and couldl exist long after he is gone. He is just currently an easy target for a potential psychological disorder in BC that will go untreated and continue to hurt decent people along the way…if they do not wake up and move away from BC like so many have to date.
People with this disorder can appear congenial, generous, and trustworthy.
But, on a deeper level they will be brainwashing others around them with incessant negativity about others. They pretend to have real values and beliefs e.g. in BC’s case intial support for term limits, low rise height limits, the VFD…etc……but will turn on those values in a heartbeat if it serves their thirst to promote negativitiy and hurt another.
People with this mental illness need to project inner pain out of themselves and onto someone or something else. This is the only way they have learned to feel good about themselves. ..not by actually doing good…but by making others bad…by diminishing another…by humiliating another…one feels superior.
You can surmise that BC’s attacks are not rational, they may be minor incidents that she enjoys blowng way out of proportion to demean someone, which is a symptom of the disorder. You can even discern from BC’s writing style how scattered BC’s mental and emotional process is.
Negativity can be a very powerful aphrodisiac…many derranged leaders have build great followings based on hate and divisiveness. BC is attempting to continue the nasty tradition of a local paper paper by making up cruel stories about good LBTS citizens and commissioners who really give and volunteer for LBTS and ask nothing in return but to keep our traditions and preserve our beautiful beachfront from more Orianas.
If you have lived here long enough you’ll know that people like BC spring up every now and then…do their dirty work…and then they’re gone. The reason? LBTS is a very strong and wise little community that has learned to fight off power-hungry predators. Neither BC..nor her mniniscule band of followers…will ever take us down!
November 5, 2008 at 8:44 am
Why on her site would she want a fight with the VM
and Mayor this is her wish not peace please lady get another hobbie help the dogs the homeless and stop wanting this town to fight..you will be the loser in a few years with not one person in town
who will like you..the old guards are using you
I think its funny that you are so foolish to fall
for this but if you keep it up the last laugh will be on you
November 5, 2008 at 11:11 am
Question when BC ask a question from the town attonery.who is paying this bill? is it BC? i do not want my tax dollars to be spent in her evil ways
I am requesting a copy from the town lawyer that he has billed her for his time and the citizen are not paying for her web site
November 5, 2008 at 11:59 am
You want the facts ; so here they are: on videpo tape.
On Town Government Video, Meeting October 28,2008-
JohnToohey at public comments stated; “I interviewed a doctor, an ocean colony guest…he was upset that none of those people on the beach entered the water EXCEPT one older man WHO HELPED PULL THE RESCUED VICTIM FROM THE WATER.”
More lies from BC when she refused to report there was a man who assisted with the rescue and indeed Vice Mayor McIntee was that man who did indeed help pull the woman victim from the water.
Bc wrote 3 versions of the rescue which she herself tells is “HEARSAY”

Thank you slapbc for offering the forum to answer to BC’s months worth of slanderous attacks against good people. It is unfortunate that average LBTS citizens who have been exposed to her lies and made-up stories have actually believed them. Until now there has been no place to refute them.
Please readers, it appears that BC has no credibility. Her sausage stories were complete twists of reality…as are her accusations against the CIC…the M, M & F’s. Her musings are purely comic book material and not deserving of a second thought.
Those she targets incessantly are the ones who have done the most to turn this town around and have never lost their well-deserved credibility with the citizens of LBTS. By reading her praise for OP, a developers local paper and an editor and the Old-Guard…NOW…who has lost all credibility!!!
November 7, 2008 at 9:18 am
Here she is again, I am sure the Fire Marshall will test the Alarm in the building and get the fees later..another one of her Dramas…Fire alarm
are tested by your fire alarm company can still be up and running and just waiting for finial inspection..but today they call town hall, I am sure the town will do the inspection with out fees paid up front..But Bc again needs to start a war about every thing if a bird took a poop on the side walk she will write about it..surprise I live in her building and the VFd was very professional
we will hear all of her lies soon ..also you mean Bc the Nosy person did not know the town hired a fire Marshall and a inspector..Wow she is really doing great research for her web site Lack of it is more like it..So now you have it
how can her and Dodd comment on the VFd if they do not research..Yikes
November 7, 2008 at 10:45 am
BC just can’t say good job to anyone. I watched the VFD come to our fire and was so impressed they were there in minutes. I counted at least 29 firefighters. They put the fire out, did a great job and saved our cabana. BC, I suggest you stop picking on the VFD and realize that the residents at 4900 support the VFD 100 per cent and want NO part of your known nastiness.

Could BC possibly think “slimy” means not putting your name on written work?
“Slimy” seems to be the tactics BC has admitted herself in using when writing with her own name attached to it!
BC admits to using secret notes to tattle tail and later make twisted reports against people who trusted her and were once her friends. IS THAT SLIMY ?
BC has admitted reporting about events as she is walking past citizens’ homes, looking in their windows and later writing those events on her blog. IS THAT SLIMY?
BC Writes stories she admits are “HEARSAY”-NO PROVEN FACTS,NO NAMES. Would you say that was ANONYMITY? IS THAT SLIMY?
BC has made numerous attacks and false statements against the CIC. BC ,Dodd and JT failed in their judgments against the CIC. IS THAT SLIMY?
Thanks for the increased membership.
BC made statements that SLAP BC was violent . Bc has proven not to be violent. SLAP meaans a rebute by words…BC is the one who uses violent cliches against her neighbors and calls her neighbors violent words such as “GANGS.” IS THAT SLIMY?
Putting your name on something does NOT make it acceptable! Hitler signed his name, too!
In 1960, the Supreme Court ruled that anonymity is “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” and CANNOT BE INFRINGED UPON.
OUR great Forefathers wrote in anonymity and that is why we have many freedoms and a democracy today.
BC could sign her name all over the place but the citizens are wise to BC.
How did you like reading this post BC?
SLIMY IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH!SLIMY IS SPEWING HATE!

Bc rants and raves constantly against the VM and Silverstone. She spews her hate and discontent. People throughout the town are beginning to realize there is a real problem here. A recent observation of BC walking on our streets shows a drastic change in her appearance over the past year. Next time you see BC, look closely. Do you see the empty sheel of an unhappy person?
November 8, 2008 at 10:05 am
Bc loves to attack her old friends with frivolous innuendos and false charges with great glee. But when BC’s new friend, our Mayor finds herself in a very serious pickle and Commissioner Dodd knows all about the actual problems, we can only assume BC is participating in a cover up. (Dodd tells Bc all the dirt) Here’s a scoop for you BC. You can call this humogous problem for the mayor “Greengate.”

Where do you even start about last night’s Commission meeting??? The Mayor’s Greengate is a serious problem. She was the Chairperson of Greenfest and allocated $1,000 taxpayer dollars to pay for the event. No problem with that. But, apparantly, she spent over $3,000 including a massive $700 for flyers alone for an event that brought in around 50 participants compared to the town-sponsored Halloween event that brought in between 1,500 and 2,000 participants and cost the taxpayers $2,500.
It gets really sticky when the Mayor is called to account for her spending and the Town finds out that there has been a separate account opened in her Campaign Manager and Republican Strategist, Terry Arthur’s name. Apparantly, Minnet collected donations checks for the event…were they made out to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?…Why didn’t she give them to the town as is customary… but deposited them in this private account instead. Why did Minnet admit this only when the Greenfest accounting was put on the Commission agenda? Another question to be answered is did they use the the Town’s ID to open the account? If so…YIKES!
All donations coming to the town have always been given to the town. What is going on here??? Throw in that this event was one month before the elections and the caller ID on her robocall to town residents read the Republican Committee…top it off with a comment from Minnet during the call that Senator Atwater would be attending. The event itself prominently featured both Atwater and Bogdanoff.
Hasn’t Minnet been warned about her political missteps numerous times already? Where was Commissioner Dodd and Commissioner Clottey’s outrage on the dais over this? Why was Dodd’s only comment a compliment to Minnet? Why didn’t Minnet show up ready to answer these questions which was an agenda item? How can Dodd and Clottey, rake the VFD over the coals at Commission meetings and not hold the Mayor accountable? Clottey and Dodd…BC’s influence will be the end of you!
A very sad sight to see at the meeting was the lack of support given to the touching public comments given by members of the Volunteer Fire Dept. by BC’s groupies. Not one clap or smile from BC herself or buddies, Geo– Loy— or even the Chamber President. No one is fooled by proclamations of support and denial of a witchunt by Dodd and BC. It is obvious for all to see their real intentions.
So much more could be written about the attitude of Chamber President, Paul Novak…but enough for now.
November 11, 2008 at 10:26 pm
christmas by the sea- didn ‘t the chamber want to spend $2500 on radio advertising and $1500 on the parade ? Paul Novack in Oct would not give in and insisted it was a necessary expense. His demanding attitude at last nignts meeting was not appreciated and it was as though he was looking for a fight so he could back out altogether.Wanting to sell alcohol and then claiming it was an event for the children did not make sense. Wanting the town to pay and not persuing donations is no way to have a successful event. Just admit it, this is for the businesses, hence the advertising and alcohol .

November 12, 2008 at 8:17 am
Old-guard flip floppers BC and Dodd are new BFF’s with the Chamber, the only existing stronghold for the Futures and Old-Guard.
BC writes that Novak came to the meeting to work out some pre-Christmas event snags….yeah like demanding the Town dish out another $7,000 taxpayer dollars to pay for the for-profit business event….Clottey almost folded like a cheap lawnchair and if it weren’t for disgusted hoots and hollers from the audience…she would have.
Novak..hit the streets and rustle up some donations…or are you Chamber guys too good for that? I know the MO…the Chamber people like to suck up to Commissioners and get your goodies the easy way…by having Commissioners give you taxpayer dollars for nothing.
Unfortunataly, BC , Clottey, and Dodd are all so politically green, they fall for the kissing-up. Oh, they never learn!
Yes, BC lets hope the Chamber will “band” together and see what can be done…Why don’t you just dig into your pockets and buy Christmas-by-the-Sea for them the way you bought everything for the CIC?
Oh yes…the unelectable 6th Commissioner BC is already setting her sights on a potential new Old-guard candidate for 2010 who already sounds like a young version of Kennedy and Clark….You can bet your bippy she has been on the phone 6-8 times a day with this “hero” filling him with praise and poison about the CIC, the Vice M., the Furths. Will she only rest when she “owns all 5 commission slots and destroys the town?
Talk about no politician disbanding the VFD…After listening to Dodd at the meeing…If he doesn’t get his way and put bc in charge as the sole oversight committee of both VFD and AMR …they will all be out of here!
Hard to believe that Dodd didn’t smother Minnet with kisses for her agenda item calling for a formal investigation into the internal issue between McIntee and Pontu. Silverstone said it best that the VFD is a private town contractor and that this Pontu’s letter was not to be published publicly…and that the VFD was not even under official contract with the town at the time. BC is the one who published the letter without permission…the town —- Stirrer.
Seagrape project…boy did Minnet put her foot in her mouth…and now so is bc…Minnet as much as told town residents to suck up the newly created drainage problems..and tough luck that the sidewalk ends prematurely…you should have been paying attention. the Vice Mayor has a heart and was politicly astute to “feel their pain” and look into a remedy. Boy, when bc has sidewalk issues…didn’t the whole world have to revolve around it? BC…where is your compassion?
Dodd put the screws to Brooke Liddle from AMR…The Great Inquisitioner is somehow so interested and involved in criticizing and finding fault on the one hand and then on the other saying…He’s such a great supporter! Reminds me of a famous book “I hate you/don’t leave me”.
Why is BC so quick to criticize anyone in authority such as the Town Manager of her assisstant? Regarding By-the-Sea Laundry, there are more details, more reasons why things were done that any reasonable person would find out before pointing their finger.
How come Commissioners “wearing two hats” was never a problem with Dodd, BC, and crony John T. for the last two 1/2 years. It is only an issue now cause Old-guard flipflopper BC wants McIntee and Silverstone out altogether.
Unfortuantely, BC has done nothing positive for this town since she “appeared” 3 years ago. Imagine what a wonderful world LBTS would be with the recent overthrow of the old-guard regime and how everybody would still be getting along and enjoying ourselves if it weren’t for the divisiveness of BC!
Yes, Clottey is the swing vote and BC has forced her into this untenable situation. Unfortuantely because Dodd and Clottey have not stood strong for the good work of the VFD but succummed to the nitpicking dramas and attacks generated by BC and Dodd against them…she is forced to comply with BC. She is only considered a swing vote because she…unlike other Commissioners…still has a mind of her own…barely!
November 12, 2008 at 9:55 am
BC claims Chamber of Commerce was not treated fairly.
FACT: Any town organization that demands double the money they were alloted ($7,000.00 to $14,000.00) and shows no accountibility, does not deserve to receive the money.
BC says The Town Manager owes town resident an apology.
FACT: BC is a manufacturer of hate, trying to pit town residents against our excellent Town Manager.
BC tries to cover the mayor for inappropriate use of Town stationery.
FACT: There is no question that the mayor violated established rules of the commission and mayor got caught breaking the rules ,AGAIN!
BC claims that 4 ISO rating was the result of BSO.
FACT: LBTS VFD had the 4 ISO rating long before BSO arrived.
BC rants and raves about VM.
FACT: BC says absolutely nothing and everyone realizes BC is off the reservation and out of her teepee.
BC keeps on bringing up Pontu.
FACT: Her failure to listen to Pontu’s wishes not to print his letter and her continued harping on the event is now causing Pontu serious problems that
never would have happened if BC did not keep on pushing and pushing and would have honored his privacy request.
BC failed to compliment the VFD on the excellent fire fighting at 4900-Sea Ranch Club-
FACT: One of the Board of Directors complimented the chief and somehow BC’s name came up. The B. O. D. said no one in 4900 wants any part of BC. She is trouble.
November 12, 2008 at 9:57 am
Now bc doesn’t like the town topics. Could it be she wants all information given to town residents directly funneled through her “unbiased” bc/Dodd/JT/old-guard informercial site? BC, the town topics has been providing good information for town reidents since you were in diapers (hard to believe bc was ever such an innocent babe)…so get over it.
By the way…how many times was BC called down at the Commission meeting last night for relentlesss snickering and LOL when you she didn’t get her way? Nice comments you made to the chastisers…”Why don’t you just move away then”. Didn’t her parents ever teach her manners? Please continue to sit on the same side with your old-guard Chamber buddies so we can watch you act out on TV…was absolutely the best show of the night!!!
Great idea to initiate a straw poll to ask town residents whether they want to have free parking and never get a $25 ticket at local businesses. I wonder what the results will be???
Oh BC…you are funny comparing the soggy, no-show political
Greenfest event to the incredibly successful Halloween party and whinning about the cost. Once again, shooting from the hip without a reality-check. You and your boy Dodd got it all wrong. The arrogance of Dodd who got a whopping $84,000 allowance as chair of July 4th to rally against Halloween which had a enterained 2,500 people in a grand way for a measly $2,800.00 Check last year’s expense under the old-guard who put on a pitiful party and tagged the town with a $3,600 bill.
Gee, bc seems to love diversion tactics. Instead of questioning Minnet’s growing Greengate debacle…she questions whether McIntee and Silverstone are the real culprits by breaking sunshine when they discussed it on the dais. This super-scoop just happened to slip by bc…cause Dodd didn’t get the scoop to her first…therefore it doesn’t exist. Very zen-like!
As it happened, Minnet spilled the beans to the town manager after Mcintee put greenfest acounting on the agenda. Ooopsie Minnet. By the way Minnet, since this was an agenda item…where was your backup material? BC…pats Minnet on the back and says…hmmm…let her get her paperwork together. Excuse me…Doesn’t she always chastise the other Commissioners for lack thereof? The agenda is done more than a week in advance….how long does it take to go to the bank, get the checks, find out whether or not the town’s account number was used…and who endorsed and deposited the checks made out to the Town of Lauderdale by the Sea in a private Republican Strategist’s account? BC’s or Minnet’s diversion tactics don’t fly with sane people.
BC accuses McIntee of going after our Republican representatives. I guess maybe she didn’t want to hear the part about Minnet turning a town-sponsored non-partisan, taxpayer funded event into a political rally. I’m sorry BC’s McCain/Palin ticket got trounced…but..again where is bc’s credibility? Deflect! Deflect! Deflect!

Looks like the people in Sea Ranch Club Buildings think the same about BC. Many reports from residents suggesting BC is shunned and a source of many problems. Looks like Chicago is in the future.
November 13, 2008 at 11:33 am
BC tries to portray The VM’s wife as mean and nasty .But the VM”s wife is very different from BC’s description. The VM’s wife volunteers in the community putting smiles on the faces of the sick and the young . What does BC do? BC spreads hate and brings frowns to the faces of her neighbors.
November 13, 2008 at 11:50 am
Only BC could turn all the good deeds of the new VFD Beach Patrol into trash-talk. I think any reasonable person would be impressed if the Vice Mayor of a community cared enough to spend their time patrolling the beach promoting safety. BC’s sidekick, Commissioner Dodd has never even taken the time to go out once on the ATVs to see how much good will this idea has generated. What does that tell you about dedication to the betterment of the town.
There would be no VFD for BC and Dodd to kick around without McIntee and the hundreds and hundreds of hours he has given to rebuild the department back up from nothing. It is just like BC and Dodd to slam citizen volunteers who try to do good for the community while they do nothing but criticize and exaccerbate conflict…and in the case of BC…make up false stories to try to humiliate others. Shame on her.
I honestly cannot believe anyone but residents of Sea Ranch Lakes could be the least bit interested in BC’s condo meeting minutes. Who cares!!!
But how thoughtful of her to mention that the Volunteer fireman caused more damage to the cabana than they were worth. Ridiculous!C’mon…where’s bc’s credibility?
If I were a returning resident to Sea Ranch, BC would be the last person I would want to run into.
Miraculously, only BC could turn the tables on the recently published Town Mission Statement in the By the Sea Times. I guess she has annointed herself Chief Overseerer of everything Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. How arrogant! Just as the people of this town don’t give a rat’s — about Sea Ranch Club insurance rates…they don’t give a rat’s — about her opinions on everyone who works in this town’s job performance! As if BC would know what is involved with holding a real job and working well with other people.
BC talks of payback…hmmmm….let take a look at that. Nobody loves “payback” better than BC and friends. Rumors abounded during the last election that BC and Dodd could not wait until after the election to start the payback ball rolling. One of their first targets was Jerry McIntee. The story goes that the third member of the trio, JT went on a fishing expedition to candidates Peanuts Wick and Clottey just before the election to try to make a backroom deal to cut Jerry out of the running for the Vice-Mayor position and put their boy Dodd in instead.
Try as they might, they couldn’t get Wick and Clottey to sign on to the dirty deal…especially since you should not be fixing nominations in advance! With things looking bleak, they got Dodd and JT to make a desperation call to Silverstone to try to get him to turn on McIntee…well, that one was a no-brainer. I do believe this is a little piece of confirmed information BC conveniently forgot to mention in the snausage notes! YIKES! Lets see if BC and the two other members of her little trio demonstrate integrity and own up to this little diddy! hmmmmmmm
Get to know the “real” BC! More to come…….
November 13, 2008 at 11:57 am
The only person getting slapped on this site is BC and who deserves it more! Does BC think she can spend months slapping good citizens of this town without getting a dose of her own medicine. The only problem is that she has had a free reign for way too long.
Why doesn’t BC follow her own advice and move on to other things rather than her incessant, obsessive, demented, ridiculous, inane, attacks against everything Jerry. I’m sure BC had some sort of life before appearing on the scene for the first time 3 years ago and causing continuous agitation ever since. I just wish she would learn how to have a cohesive thought and complete a sentence. That would save us all alot of headaches!
November 13, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Bc says it is ” universally inappropriate” for the VM’s wife to go to the podium
calling the presentation ” badmouthing.” Since when is speaking the truth “badmouthing?” Who does Bc think she is denying anyone freedom of speech while BC continually spreads falsehoods and accusations? Seems she liked it before when the same speaker spoke the truth about the old guard. Now Bc does not want anyone to report what” TRAITOR” Dodd says or does while sitting on the dais. She now supports Minnet who has badmouthed her own fellow commissioners while sitting on the dais conducting the meeting. Clottey even stepped up to the plate to tell Minnet she did not like Minnet’s attitude. Why didn’t BC tell the Mayor not to “badmouth?”
November 13, 2008 at 12:07 pm
BC is on a 2-hat tirade! My god how boring! Lets see what the definition of harping is…to persist in talking or writing tediously. well then I wonder what the definition of harpy is? any of several monsters, i.e. part woman and part bird, a greedy person, a shrewish woman. hmmmm, How do you get it to stop??? Answer…it never does…for your own sanity, just ignore it!

When I asked Cole why she is not outraged about the issue with Minnet, she said she is giving her a pass because she doesn’t have a history of wrong doing, she knew little about the Mayor’s backers who are Republican politicians and Terry Arthur. Then she says they are astute politically savvy people who would know if something was illegal or not. She went on, but that is all I needed to hear. If she thinks anyone will agree with reasons she lives in another reality.
Minnet does have an ongoing history of over stepping her authority which if McIntee did the same we all know she would be outraged.
1)As the mayor making a presentation to BSO, re sheriff Lamberti, in conjunction with the town of LBS and Futures paper presenting an award!
2)Sending out a letter on towns letter head against the rules of the commission that was just passed.
3)Throwing a republican campaign party disguised as the towns Greenfest day.
Then to give say Republican politicians and Terry Arthur are astute politically savvy people who would know if something was illegal or not.
Ya right they would know if it was illegal, but the problem is would they still do it! You want to talk history?
More to come.
November 14, 2008 at 12:33 am
during the campaign dodd was the best thing going to be a commissioner
you told so many lies about yanni. Yanni was a good commissioner and yet you wanted someone you thought was better, hahaha! Don’t you wish yanni was up there I know mcintee does.
November 14, 2008 at 3:15 am
Bc is like a perverted broken record. BC keeps repeating,repeating,repeating no facts-old hate just regurjitated. BORING! Can you imagine anyone sitting in front of a computer screen hour after hour after hour self destructing? Is she certifiable? People in the Sea Ranch Buildings walk the other way at the sight of BC.
To all our readers, the proof of all this women’s writing is BC doesn’t know how to say anything nice .
November 14, 2008 at 3:22 am
BC – A little historic perspetcive on BC.
Remember when Minnet Threw BC to the wolves when BC was thrown off the P&Z committee? And BC was served with a SLAPP lawsuit. You should have heard the harsh words aginst Minnett then. Minnett was a villain to BC: Now Minnet is BC’s Hero. Sounds two faced , don’t you think..
Shall we not forget, the ONLY TWO COMMISSIONERS WHO STOOD BY BC WERE THE TWO GUYS WHO WEAR THE TWO HATS .They stood by her when no one else would.
November 14, 2008 at 3:28 am
BC gives Minnet “a Pass” for her Greengate activities. BC says “The Mayor’s backers” , “Republican politicians, and Terry Arthur are astute politically savvy people.”
Richard Nixon’s political backers were most certainly political savvy people too, EXCEPT THEY GOT CAUGHT!
November 14, 2008 at 6:04 am
In today’s installment of the “ridiculous” hour bc, in addition to her self-appointed job description of town “overlord”, BC is now revealing that her part-time job is Department Head of “Finance”.
In an attempt to rescue her credibility by giving Minnet a free pass on the serious ethics and possible criminal greengate debacle…bc is calling for a financial accounting on how donations were handled for all town events this year as a comparison.
BC does not understand that people of this town do not have to answer to her. The arrogance boggles the mind.
Why doesn’t BC answer to the dirty backroom deal she her tirading trio tried to make to put Dodd in as Vice-Mayor before the election?
November 14, 2008 at 10:24 am
Bc, Did you get scared of lawsuits? Haven’t seen you write about your usual M.O. of peeping in the windows of private citizen’s and then running home to report what you saw. You admitted your own”peeping Tom” activities!

Any investigating done by BC on the Greengate Fiasco?
Bc seems to write her statements to fit her story that she would like you to believe, rather than the true story. The actual, factual words that were spoken at the November 10,2008 Town Commission Meeting can be reviewed on the government video and differ from those told by BC. Bc tells, that The town manager was quite clear telling how town sponsored event money has always been handled. Correct)
BUT THEN-
Bc says that the town manager says if the commission wants to change the the procedure, of handling town event money she must know. ?????
No where in the video does the town manager talk about the commission changing the handling of event money…Nothing this writer could find!
The town manager has asked for commission direction on many matters but Not this time!
November 14, 2008 at 8:38 pm
BC Credibility Gap Corner…
from November 13 (The part in quote will be BC comments from her blog…the part after truth: will be the actual truth and/or reality check)
BC…”I don’t know what the Mayor and the little I do know leaves me with questions but she gets a pass”
Truth: BC goes on witchunts with no regard for facts, it just depends on who she wants to target next” She spotted another lonely girl in Minnet and wants to hook her to bolster the floundering Dodd and herself in case Clottey bolts.
BC…”The little I know about the Mayor’s backers, republican politicians and Terry Art—…they are savy and would know if something was illegal or not. Truth: Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus and by the way fellow Republican strategist, Carl Rove was cherrub sent down from cloud nine to save the world.
BC…”The reaction of the Mayor…herself…did not appear to be afraid of McIntee Silverstone’s attacks…
Truth: Minnet started fumbling and mumbling like a 4 year old until she got so tongue-tied that she began to absorb back into the shadows and literally disappear from the TV screen. A total embarassment! She couldn’t answer the questioning and folded like a cheap lawnchair.
BC…”Is this done in other towns (opening private slush funds using donations to the town of LBTS)?”
Truth: Oh yes, I wonder if the name Chicago rings a bell with BC?
BC…”The town manager was emphatic when she talked of how it has always been done before…no accusations of a crime”
Truth: I guess BC doesn’t get the nuance in her own word “emphatic” and Esther’s tone…as in clear-as-a-bell, you’ve-got-to-be-kidding, what-the-hell-is-going-on-here, never-ever-never, I’m completely appalled and pissed! Of course BC is so busy snickering, hucking, guffawing, shaking and nodding her head from the audience trying to signal her Commissioners about what to do next that it would be easy to miss the nuances…even the in-your-face ones.
BC…”What was up with our Town Attorney? Why didn’t he stop the McIntee inquisition?”
Truth: Could it be because McIntee and Silverstone were perfectly within their rights to ask the question the Mayor about an item that was on the agenda for a week and that she was suppose to have a representive there to answer to and/or provide back-up data on an event she sponsored that has been over for 5 weeks?
BC…”How come the 2 hat pals were totally in sync on this?”
Truth: it is called common sense. The barest of facts are that she made republican party robocalls to citizens inviting them to meet Jeff Atwater…(town-sponsored, funded event) That is undeniable. Add to it the uncovering of the greengate slush fund? If this doesn’t raise an eyebrow with just about anybody…they have no credibility.
Oh of course with the exception of BC and Dodd. Dodd’s only comments was to compliment the event (of less than 50 people in total for bills totaling over $3,000)…and BC’s contribution is to redirect the accusing finger to Silverstone and McIntee for being outraged.
IN-CREDIBlE!
BC..”What is the protocol for such an inquiry”
Truth: It is not the protocol with BC it is the subject. If the attacks are against Silverstone or McIntee…she will pay top dollar for front row seats so she can throw hard, unripe tomatoes.
BC…”Halloween, July 4th, Easter….donations that were not put in a bank account”
Truth: There she goes using the Great Inquisitioner’s swivel finger, you know the one that starts by questioning the person under suspicion but then begins a slow swivel around and points to an innocent by-stander who gets charged with being a witch and instantly condemned to burn at the stake. A little dramatic maybe…but quite metaphoric.
BC….”this writer wants to know if the manager kept Minet info from the other two Commissioners”
Truth: What BC wants to know could she have missed this super-scoop! She usually does Dodd’s homework for him and along with JT makes up his long list written questions that he takes into the town manager for first-hand information…which Dodd then obediently gives to BC so she can appear to be first out with the scoops. Sorry this one got by ya BC…but you can’t win em all.
BC: “McIntee can’t win next time out”…
Truth: Don’t be so sure! Compared to Dodd’s arrogance, McIntee looks like a pussycat! Compared to Minnet’s senior moments when she runs jout of talking points, McIntee sounds like a Rhoades Scholar.
BC: “Silverstone will go down with McIntee next time around”
Truth: BC could be hopelessly delusional if she does not realize that the two genuine “mavericks” who came on board in 2006 and were responsible for cleaning up the 14 years worth of good ‘ole’ boy dealings on the dais and the corrupt administration in town hall have not earned great respect in this town. BC doesn’t realize that most people have a heart and feel appreciation. Unfortunately, unappreciative turncoat Dodd swept on their coattails but —- hapens.
BC….”The Sentinel is still collecting info onthe VFD”
Truth: BC has been seen cozying up to the reporter in an attempt to keep feeding her negative information and innuendo to exaccerbate her and Dodd’s witchhunt against everything VFD.
BC: “The Tallahassee Ethics file must be growing thicker (against McIntee and Silverstone)”
Truth: BC knows that they have both been completely exonnerated of all false accusations and allowed to “wear two hats” as long as they do not receive compensation. IN-CREDIBLE!
BC: “It is going around that the Florida Attorney General has been informed of the VFD goings on
Truth: I wonder who BC and Dodd might be be working with to insure that gets done? Could it be the third memeber of the tirading trio and master ethics complaint filer of all time…JT?
BC: “All this in 43 days on the job!”
Truth: Thanks BC for not one single day of peace for the hard-working volunteers who risk their life for you and your neighbors due to the fact that you hate one member of the department, Jerry McIntee
BC: “Shrinking audience for CIC” at commission meetings”
Truth: Could it be that the majority of citizens who voted for the CIC-endorsed candidates and hoped they could take a break from nasty pollitics for a while are sitting home watching in a state of shock and disbelief at how fast Dodd and Cole flipped against every value, principle, and campaign promise they promoted during the election and turned old-guard corrupt in a heartbeat?
BC: “Guess this is gong to be the fastest demise of the Mc-Movement”
Truth: With no historical footing in LBTS politics,BC is again hopefully delusional. She probably never attended Sunday school where you learn the basic premise: Good eventually triumphs over negativity and evil…remember the rise and fall of the Third Reich?
More to come….

BC AND Dodd on Minnet’s Greengate Fiasco:
Bc says give a pass!
Dodd gives a pass! Dodd says he is sure the Mayor “NOW KNOWS…” We heard Dodd use similar words before when the mayor violated the town charter and over-stepped her authority in September and used the town to be involved in another political event.
Did Dodd forget that besides the unknown bank account which had checks made out to LBTS and which was opened by a political strategist, non resident, non LBTS employee, that Minnet’s own recorded voice message was used on the Republican phone lines to say a certain politician would be here(excluding other candidates) and turned this town sponsored event into a ploitical event one month before an election?
The Mayor is not sitting in a government office as an intern on a learning experience. This is GOVERNMENT BUSINESS and taxpayers money. Dodd has a responsiblity as an elected official to stop making excuses for Minnet’s LEARNING EXPERIENCES!”
Instead of getting to the bottom of it, Dodd states,”I think you are trying to do a Witch Hunt.” (He should know about Witch Hunts)
BC put your ‘FREE PASS” in the pile with the “Do not pass go” cards.
Fill out some more Freedom of Information requests and get to the bottom of this Greebngate Fiasco. The people need to know. Stick to the facts and no spins, please.
November 15, 2008 at 1:00 am
BC is so used to telling other people what to do that Bc seems to believe that no one can think without being told what to do OR even have a mind of their own! Adrienne Roberts wrote a very truthful and honest article in the newspaper. BC printed it . Kudos to Adrienne! Bc can not accept the fact that Adrienne wrote the article with no prompting from anyone! BC insultingly refers to Adrienne as the “Adrienne Card”,being “used.” How Sad for BC. It is crazy talk like this that contributes to the fact that many people now chose to keep their distance away from BC. Be careful new friends of the old guard, you could be next!
Bc writes;”It is sad to see that that same “card” is being used at this time …against those who use to stand beside her…
BC tells you that Adrienne is a “no-nonsense type of lady.” Bc is exactly correct about that statement (finally a truthful fact)and surely Adrienne would therefore want no part of BC’s NONSENSE!
Bc knows what an honest, truthful woman Adrienne is. Bc again writes her lies as facts, this is one lie against Adrienne. Call Mrs. Roberts up and ask her if anyone “used” her as the “Adienne card” and she will prove you as spinning and lying again. No one used Adrienne to write this article .
BC writes more lies and expects her rather crazy unfounded thoughts to be believed.
Typical Bc. Scarey isn’t it?
November 15, 2008 at 4:13 am
I know both Cole and Mrs Roberts and for Cole to insult Adrienne is beyond comprehension. Mrs. Roberts has more integrity at the end of her little pinky then Cole has ever had collectively.
Used to call Cole my friend and we got along well. I don’t nor can I understand the hate that is coming out of her now.
Would guess her need for attention has become a type of sickness in which she has no control over. She now believes she has friends with the same people she told me to despise during the last election and who I think is just using her to continue their path. They will dump her a the first opportunity. Also, unlike only talking to someone, she is writing so it is out there forever on the web and thus can be brought up to be used against her forever.
Why would any sane person put themselves in this position? Unless it was for a business venture or some other possible reward that would make it all worth it?
November 15, 2008 at 6:21 am
BC has seemed to have reached an all time low by enetering families in her outbursts of condemnation. Again saying “Now we hear …” Bc stabs in the dark, reports on hearsay and secondhand info, making accusations and acting like she knows everything about everything when she does not. 2 can play your game.BC. Is the name of your game family hardball?
November 15, 2008 at 6:29 am
Scoop du Jour…
Here’s how the Dodd and BC tagteam works when a scoop gets by them. First BC gets angry then Dodd goes in for the kill.
The following are two letters one from Dodd to Town Manager Esther Colon and then Esther’s response…both public information.
November 12: Dear Esther: On Friday 7th November I called to collect commisioner’s mailand was informed “something big was breaking”. On Monday 11th November just before the commission meeting I collected a final piece of mail for the meeting headed-Greenfest 2008. a memo from you to Mayor Minnet. I was taken aback when Vice Mayor McIntee attacked the Mayor on this item on the agenda and he appeared fully briefed and prepared. It apeared he had inside information that the Mayor’s financial transactions were an open book to Vice Mayor McIntee. They appeared tohave been discussed since he was totally focused on minutia regarding the taxation issue and who had established the account of who had countersigned the checks. Was Vice Mayor McIntee given information or at least the issue had been discussed during one of his many visits to town hall. There appeared to be two commissioner’s (Birute and myself) totally in the dark and two that were informed (Vice Mayor McIntee and Commissioner Silverstone) that the mayor may have committed a faux pas regarding the setting up of accounts to handle donations for the Greenfest event. Because I have chosen not to bother you with daily visits to waste both your time and mine that does not mean I am less interested in every aspect and every nuance that occurs at town hall.
I was under the impression that we were all equal and should all be told if there was any information that in any way affected the commission as a whole. Because of the inquisition that occurred I cannot help but conclude that this matter had been discussed prior to the meeting. Please ensure all commissioners are given equal access to information at all times even though I appreciate this may be difficult to achieve. I am always available to meet at a moment’s notice.
Lastly – are the actions of Mayor Minnet illegal or just different from what has been the usual practice.
Sincerely
Stuart Dodd
OK ESTER…HOW DO YOU RESPON?!
November 14,
To: Commissioner Dodd
Pursuant to my fiduciary responsibilities to the Town and predicated upon the fact that donations were not deposited into a town bank account, please be assured that the first memorandum I wrote to the Mayor which pertained to the Greenfest event WAS DISTRIBUTED TO ALL COMMISSIONERS. This resulted from the Mayor’s disclosure to me during a meeting on November 06, 2008 when she informed me that she had received donations for the Greenfest Town sponsored event, and subsequently, inquired about Vice Mayor’s November 10th 2008 agenda item number 15-M.
The second memorandum distributed on November 07, 2008 was predicated upon a report provided to the town by Mr. Terry Arthur received on November 07, 2008 at approximately 4:47 PM, detailing the revenues and expenses of the Greenfest Town sponsored event. Please note that the second memorandum was also distributed to ALL COMMISSIONERS after 5:00 pm since I received a report in lieu of the actual donations.
Please be assured that your perception of the events that took place is totally inaccurate. THE REASON WHY I SENT MEMORANDUMS TO ALL OF THE TOWN’S COMMISSIONERS IS TO MAINTAIN AND FOSTER AN ATMOSPHERE OF OPEN COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPARENCY. Your concerns are just as important to me as the concerns of any other member of this Town Council, and although you believe it is a bother to come and see me, that is not the way I see it.
Let me conclude my response by addressing your question regarding the legality of Mayor Minnet’s actions. Please be aware that I have no authority to provide legal opinions, thus, I cannot answer that question for you. As per your question relating to the Town’s common accepted business practices, please note that donations to the town have always been accepted by town staff, receipts have always been produced, allowing for the proper reconcilement of the individual events the donations were meant to benefit.
Respecfully submitted,
Esther Colon, Town Manager
ESTHER…YOU GO GIRL…TALK HIM RIGHT DOWN!
Well, well, well…where do you even begin. You have to feel sorry for Esther for having to waste valuable town manager time having to answer to Dodd and Bc’s ridiculous charges against herself and the Vice-Mayor. Have they no shame? No, of course not. Because BC’s ultimate goal is to harass the town manager out of town (along with McIntee and Silverstone) because Esther doesn’t put up with her daily dose of bull. As always, Dodd is sent in to do the dirty work for BC but as you can tell from his letter…Dodd is only parroting word for word what BC has already written on her blog. YIKES!
BC and Dodd are accusing the Town Manager of a serious infraction just because they want to protect their new BFF Minnet from becoming damaged goods…but only because they need her vote. What a greedy pair Dodd and BC are. They don’t care who they have to take down or how they have to do it to get the power.
Three and a half more years with these two? Pure torture.
November 15, 2008 at 7:27 am
BC is the pits, she has started so many problems in this town that everyone in town government wants to see her gone. She is driving town employees away, and trying to singlehandedly ruin the VFD. BC would appear to be one of the meanest and cruelest individuals to cross the town boundaries ever. Greengate hits and not one word, just more attacks against the VM, VFD town Manager, Silverstone .BC hates and hates and hates.
November 15, 2008 at 7:30 am
BC has hit a low that no one in this town will support. To attack Ms Roberts is off the chart. This is one of the nicest friendliest and astute residents of our town. This viscious BC just appears to have no limits to her slime or attacks. BC appears to need to see professional help soon. She has crossed lines that should never be approached.

BC Credibility Gap Corner… How Low Can You Go …November 14
BC…”It is sad to see that the Adrienne card is being used at this time…against those who used to stand beside her…she is totally missing the point…scare tactics”
Truth: BC is insinuating that Adrienne Roberts was put up to writing the supportive VFD letter to the Sun-Sentinel by CIC operatives. This is another BC bold-faced lie and a prime example of the awful and endless lies she has been making up about many other good lbts citizens for months and months.
Adrienne’s letter was a pleasant surprise to all of us who support the VFD.
How dare BC try to sully the intentions of a wonderful woman like Adrienne Roberts. If there is anyone out there who is still a friend of BC…what more evidence do you need that she is just “not right” in the head or the heart?
BC…”The questions [witchhunt] being asked are legitimate (about the VFD)…the Pontu resignation letter…McIntee this, McIntee that, Mcintee, McIntee, McIntee, McMcMcmc.
Truth: BC must mean the Pontu resignation letter that she printed against his wishes with repercussions that could potentially devastate his future career…done solely in an attempt to get at McIntee… which by chain reaction opened a Pandora’s box of public records relating to his attitude and discpline problems at past jobs…pretty much exonerrating any claims he made against McIntee and the VFD. hmmmmm. Who cares about Pontu if it serves BC’s menu. Nothing like a little sacrificial lamb for dinner…yum, yum!
More to come…

Quote of the Day:
“False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil. ” Plato
November 15, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Anyone remember BC’s “expose” about the election “How the Sausage Was made”? It was an 8 part 30 page series against John and Eva McMillian and By-the-Sea-Times, Jerry and Moe McIntee, and Marc and Christie Furth whom she eventually began referring to as the M,M, & F’s
There is another side to the story and now it will be told to set the record straight by an insider who will remain anonymous for the record but saw it all. I have kept quiet all these months until I ran into longtime acquaintence on election day and we started talking. She had been away for the summer and somehow BC’s name and blog came up. This very nice lady said that she thought everything BC had written was the truth and that broke my heart. To think that people who have been neighbors and friends for years would now be looking at the generous, hard-working people BC targeted in her blog through BC’s eyes and believe what she wrote about them is all true.
They say if there is nothing to counteract a message, people will end up believing what they hear. The only way to let people decide the truth for themselves is to put out more sides of the story and that is what is to follow.
I am not a believer in revealing the inner workings of a political campaign, as I have worked on many and always maintained confidentiality during and after. That is why it has taken me so long to commit to this venture. Unfortunately, BC is quite new at things political and the damage around strategy has already been done. However, it is never too late to repair the damage done to people’s reputations and that is what this is about.
The tipping point for me was an article that former Mayor Ken Wardlaw wrote for the last edition of By the sea Times entitled “Where is the Line that I Stand in to Get My Reputation Back” It is my hope that the line starts here and now.
This site seems the appropriate place to tell my story and so it will be. I will call myself the “Insider” because I was. It will be a hard story to tell because I need to be fair and credible to earn the reader’s trust rather than just present one-sided, biased opinion. So, that will be my goal for this series of stories and I thank you in advance for your willingness to hear me out.
November 15, 2008 at 9:23 pm
BC spins when BC writes; “It is said that Chief Perkins was fully ready to answer any questions asked of him at the Commission Meetimg Mon.Oct.10th…but he never stood up ..never took charge and never made it clear…that in fact …he was the Chief…”
Truth of the matter is that VFD Chief Perkins answered every question askedof him. Both Mayor Minnet and Stuart Dodd asked several questions that former BSO Fire Chief Seevers would never have answered. BSO Seevers said the questions should be written ahead of time before he could answer any questions! And Bso Chief seevers stopped coming to the Commission Meetings altogether! No answers!
VFD Chief Perkins answered every answer asked of him. And yes,he was blind sided because he was called up to the podium out of the blue .
Bc likes you to believe her false printing with spins,twists and flips.
November 15, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Is it possible to have the most recent comments at the beginning of the page instead at the very end?
November 16, 2008 at 2:41 am
The product is being fine tuned . Thank you for your patience.
November 16, 2008 at 2:57 am
Who does Bc really think she is?
She demands so many outrageous bits of information. What does she know about ICS or HIPPA? Her only goal is to hurt the Vfd and the residents of this town . She appears to be the most evil person in town.
November 16, 2008 at 3:07 am
Bc Everyone is waiting for your investigation of Minnet’s Scandal, “Grengate.’ Doesn’t it bother you that Minnet threw Terry Arthur “UNDER THE BUS?”……I didn’t do anything wrong…It was T.A. …
Only problem is Minnet is in the driver’s seat and as an elected official chairing Greengate , it is her responsility to make sure everything is above board and follow town procedures. OH , WE GET IT NOW…It is more important to go after the tremendous number of Volunteer firemen who are serving our community in an excellent manner than politicians with a cloud hanging over head. bc Your credibility is ZERO!
November 16, 2008 at 3:14 am
Vast majority of input clearly indicates BC’S habitual attacks on the Volunteer Fire Department is backfiring on her. The town is firmly behind the VFD and BC’S rants, raves, inquistions, accusations and condemnation about the Fire Dept. is not going over well with the citizens. They believe BC is abusing the Volunteers.
November 16, 2008 at 3:25 am
Just read the letter Dodd sent to the town manager. WOW! He has the nerve to make accusations and claim he did not know about The LBTS Bank Account Terry Arthur opened for Greenfest. He did not do his homework then. When the questions were asked of Minnet, why did he not jump in and ask some questions of his own? Instead he stated he beleived this questioning to be a Witch Hunt even going to the extereme of saying Minnet now knows better! Nothing on BC’s Blog about Greenfest.
Maybe Dodd will do some homework for the next commission meeting and ask some Minne some t”Hard Questions.”and put her” toes to the fire “as he said to chief perkins.
November 16, 2008 at 9:33 am
BC…IN..CREDIBILITY GAP CORNER…November 15
Well, BC’s contributions to “in..credibility” were on the light side today but she couldn’t let a beautiful, bright Lauderdale-by-the-Sea day pass without a scorched earth shot at the VFD or AMR or anything McIntee.
BC…” Bcbythesea hears there is some separating going on…with our public safety providers…don’t want to be thrown under the bus by McIntee and his sideshow of diversions”…
Truth: You know BC simply made that whole conversation up in her head don’t you? Yes, BC hears things but not from actual human sources. She has imaginary public safety provider friends that are very small, talk with her and keep her company during the day while she is all alone in her computer room. They are very kind to her!
BC…”Hats off to AMR for getting out of the McIntee muck and madness”
Truth: Shhhh…whisper….tiptoe…These are exactly the kind of soothing words that BC’s little public safety provider friends say to her to make her feel better. But, remember…they’re not real to you and me..just BC!
BC…As in “get everything McIntee” BC is going after his Son, Bo a Firefighter II and instructor working with the volunteers.
Truth: After Pontu abruptly resigned there were 10 recruits left hanging in training classes. Chief Perkins invited Bo, who is a firefiighter II and instructor, to come in to finish the recruit classes. Bo McIntee came in to help out the recruits so they could finish the required training hours in order to take the state tests.
Here’s one for the In-crediblity gap…BC’s poster boy Pontu, who she loves because she thinks he hates McIntee as much as she does…ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED BO MCINTEE TO REPLACE HIM AFTER HE QUIT!!!.
BC…”Waiting for a timely response…[for public information documents]Sent an e-mail to the Chief with copies to the Town Attorney”
Truth: Do you readers have any idea of the taxpayer dollars this woman is costing us all as well as the sanity of our public employees? Firefighters who should be doing fire stuff … town attorneys that should be spending time covering the town’s behind…town employees that should be taking care of administration…are being bullied into complying with one out of over 7,000 town citizen’s incessant daily demands for reams of public information, records, communications, research material, etc. etc. …all so she can make her blog look official and then turn right around and attack the town administration, VFD, Town Attorney, AMR, or other LBTS department that spent the time and manpower to dig it up, copy it, and hand it to her.
And…this is also how she comes up with those nasty talking points and awful inquisitioner notes that Dodd uses regularly from the dais… which he claims are from really doing his homework. NOT! BC puts them all together for him while he’s out fixing loo’s on people’s sailboats all day.
Dodd’s only job is to harrass Town Manager Esther Colon to keep feeding information to BC to digest and mix with stomach acid and then regurgitate back up so Dodd can spew attacks out at Commission meetings. You think I’m kidding???
More to come….
November 16, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Before I begin, there is another reason that I have chosen to wait until now to tell the story. I still held out hope for Stuart Dodd. Hope that he could be his own man on the dais and the new-guard commissioner who would bring change, as I had assumed he would be. However, meeting after meeting, I have watched something occur that has become very unsettling.
Commissioner Dodd now seems bitter, and that bitterness is turning him away from the core values I thought he believed in and toward a man I do not really know.
In my wildest dreams I would not have believed the day would come when I would hear Commissioner Dodd compliment the Futures paper from the dais, or turn his back so completely on the CIC and his fellow commissioners who worked so hard for him during his campaign, or insist that the Commission should make critical decisions on future development rather than the people.
He has now turned his support, instead, to Mayor Minnet who is a protege of former old-guard Commissioners Chuck Clark and Ed Kennedy and herself a pro-development, pro-BSO Commissioner, and Michael Arker and Mark Brown (editors of the pro-development, pro-BSO Futures paper)
Yes, I understand Commissioner Dodd had to take some heat for his decision to end his relationship with the CIC and nobody likes trying to plead their case before an upset audience, but it was my hope that he could take the fallout from his decision, try to understand how it affected his supporters and rise above any political payback. Olive branches were extended to him but instantly rejected and things have gone from bad to worse and, I believe, are at the point of no return.
Sadly, a vital opportunity for unity and healing is now being squandered. A new 4-1 majority on the dais could have worked respecfully together to bring on board those who’s candidates of choice lost in the last election. That could have been accomplished with sound policies, harmony amongst commissioners, and a gentle period of calm and peace during important times of transition such as we are now undergoing with public safety providers.
That ideal of harmony and good judgement was, indeed, a reality for the first few months after the election when so much change for the better was being accomplished. But now, all the good is quickly going down the drain and not for the right reasons but for underlying reasons I will begin laying out for readers as I tell my story.
November 16, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Everyone thought that BC reached an all time low yesterday when she attacked long time resident. Adrienne Roberts. But now her vindictiveness and hate have hit and even lower level by attacking family members.
There is never an excuse to turn vengenance and hate on innocent family members. There will be a day of judgment for BC and when that day comes she will see that her path of destruction of misguided hate will follow her forever! REST ASSURED THAT SLAPBC WILL NEVER STOOP TO THAT SLIMY LEVEL THAT BC HAS DESCENDED.

BC writes”…ala the podium/dais performances witnessed from husband and wife…” ( by McIntees)
BC has such hate for VM, obviosly her hate has spread to his wife.
VM’s wife spoke up weekly against the old guard injustices at just about every single Commission Meetings because VM’s Wife stands up for the truth and is not afraid to tell the truth publicly. Nothing new about that fact. You have got to give her credit.
Bc loved it when the old guard was being watched and the VM’s wife reported. But now that BC supports ””Traitor” Dodd and her once despised fellow member of the P7Z Board, Mayor Minnet, BC does not like to hear the truth.
We haven’t seen VM’s wife speak out against actions of those on the dais since the election,that is ,until Oct. 10th. With the election results turning out with two supposedly new guard members on the dais everyone thought we would see a display of honesty and integrity. The actions and statements made on the dais by Mayor Minnet and Stuart Dodd needed to be addressed.,now.
Dodd recommended as he calls it, his ” Sufficientlty unbaised” recommendations for a VFD oversight committee. WRONG! Those Dodd calls ‘”Sufficiently unbaised” are very much Baised against the VFD and VM’s wife made that fact publicly known.
Mayor Minnet says she asks the hard questions but when she is asked about her questionable actions , she answers with , “I’m Learning. I didn’t know , I didn’t do anything wrong., I’m insulted.” The Mayor needs to stop making excuses and perform her elected job as Mayor in a honest dignified manner. Serving as Mayor is not a “learning experience.” Yes Mayor you will continue to ask your “hard Questions” and you too will be asked the hard questions as long as you continue to break established rules!
BC would like to muzzle the VM’s wife and deny her freedom of speech but the VM’s wife is a taxpayer and voter just like you and has every right to speak the truth. When you vote for a candidate and are promised the same ideals as your own and then that candidate wins , and becomes a “traitor”, it’s time to SPEAK UP.

Quote of the Day:
“He harms himself who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner.” Hesoid
November 17, 2008 at 9:12 am
BC seems to have gone absolutely bonkers. She must be searching archives all night and all day long trying to find anything that she thinks will hurt the VM. Many are questioning her certifiability. Her latest digging in the mud adventure is going back to statutes over 18 years ago and do not have anything to do with present day politics. Neighbors seem to think that Bc is turning into a plague by all the harm Bc appears to be doing in our town. More and more people are writng and talking about her inability to talk about anything but the VM and his family. It appears she is obsessed and a person obssessed to this degree, it would seem would benefit from medical help.
November 17, 2008 at 9:20 am
BC continue lies are easy to spot , whenever BC she says I heard it on the street, people are saying etc. these are all lies BC makes up, all those statements. The fact is no one trust BC, no one wants anything to do with BC and no one will talk to BC, just ask anyone from the Sea Ranch Condos they all run the other way when BC is around. It seems BC is hated in BC’s building and the other two. For the record gym participants too,seem to be distancing themselves from BC
November 17, 2008 at 6:38 pm
BC..IN..CREDIBILITY GAP November 16, 2008
BC..”Resign to Run Law..1990…requires an elected or appointed officer to irrevocably resign when seeking an elected office when the term runs concurrently with the term of office presently held”
TRUTH: SO? BC must be very desperate to drag up a 1990 case (when she did not even live here) concerning former Mayor Tom McKane and the witchhunt launched against him by former Mayor O. Park—. It was simply a political dirty trick because Parker was in competition for McKane’s seat. End result: Under the resign-to-run law he did not need to resign his position as a lieutenant in the Sunrise Dept. to be Mayor of LBTS.
Real bottom line…Lets say it one more time for BC’s benefit…The
Florida State Ethics Board has ruled that there is no conflict of interest with McIntee and Silverstone wearing two hats…as long as they receive no compensation. THEY RECEIVE NO COMPENSATION!
BC..”Here’s the Scoop”…the CIC – MC- BTST Times…calls being referred to Blue Seas and new owners…the Furths
TRUTH: A call made by BC to the BTST office could be for no other reason other than trying to snoop into the personal lives and wherabouts of John and Eva MacMillan. The MacMillans absolutely loathe BC and BC knows it. A call from BC would never be answered in their office.
BC should stay out of people’s personal lives… and stop peeking in citizen’s windows and making stupid reports about what you believe is going on…or writing about people’s personal habits…or slamming people’s families and children..and stop stalking the Vice Mayor’s every move looking for a violation! ABSOLUTELY IN-CREDIBLE!
BC…”The minto plantings on El Mar are outstanding”
TRUTH: The plantings are atrocious…crammed in…no grass for walking dogs…completely unaccessible to pedestrians…does not coordinate with median in front of Oriana or anywhere else…will take huge amounts of town employee hours to keep up…and large trees block the once-incredible vista from town hall and A1A to the ocean.
BC…”Kudos to whomever is responsible for the candle wreaths on Commercial”
TRUTH: Would it kill BC to say compliment Town Administration?
BC: “Chamber’s Christmas by the Sea still on hold…the downtown needs it”
TRUTH: The event is still on hold because at the last minute the Chamber DEMANDED an additional $7,000 taxpayer dollars on top of the first $7,000 they commission gave them. They absolutely have to spend $2,500 for advertising on Majic 102…NOT… It seems somebody in the old-guard is getting a kick-back for this event just like it seems they used to do for the 4th of July planning. Thanks BC for recommending $14,000 of our taxdollars go to a profit-making business event. IN- CREDIBLE!
BC…”Not crazy about the seasons greeting palm tree flags”
TRUTH..Yes BC seems crazy… that is! Seems Just plain crazy!!!
More to come…
November 17, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Knowing BC as I do, I offer an explanation as to the direction BC has taken. The facts used to formulate by opinion. 1) BC loves attention. 2)BC loves to feel popular and needed. 3)BC will do almost anything to keep her status. 4) BC is being used and is past the point of caring due to the seemingly addictive need to keep the attention.
5)The purpose and design of the Futures paper is a tool used to influence and change the minds of the residents, as opposed to The By The Sea Times which was formed to voice the will of the people.
BC is letting herself be used by the ones running the Futures because they need each other in order to work best. The futures paper is running this town via the use of elected officials because they would never be elected or reelected in some cases themselves. They have a very strong need to obtain what they want. They will do just about anything to achieve their goals.
November 17, 2008 at 8:34 pm
I believe the previous article intended to infer that BC does not stay up all hours of the night doing research. I believe he or she suggested that certain of BC’s articles that may be critical of the VFD and the Mac’s are supplied to BC by others. In this case by O.P.who brought his lawsuit against former mayor Tom McKane and does not apply to present day politics in LBTS.
November 17, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Old Town really took a beating around annexation. Once trustworthy commissioners quickly jumped ship, running away from Old Town residents as if they had the plague and running toward New-Town as if it were Shangri-La.
Parker, Fontaine, Wessels, Yanni, and Town Manager, Bob Baldwin were totally immersed in wooing the Northbeach Civic Association (self-appointed area reps.) with lavish parties and lavish promises. The financial promises included sewers and at least a decade’s worth of major capital improvements. But the most enticing promises were those of policial power. New Town voters would have a slight numerical edge over Old Town voters. With that in commissoner’s minds, whatever Northbeach wanted, they got.
The first Northbeach Commissioner was Ed Kennedy, the second, Chuck Clark, but Kennedy was especially frightening to Old Town residents. He wanted to raise the height limit to 5 stories, rezone El Mar to retail/commercial, and make LBTS a Tri-Rail bus terminal station.
Commissioner Clark took Mark Furth’s seat after Furth decided not to run again. After Furth left, all resistance to a complete Northbeach takeover was gone. Those years saw the replacement of the LBTS private police and Volunteer Fire Departments with BSO and the implentation of three, developer-oriented, overlay districts.
With election 2006 coming up, campaign operatives in Old Town were not hopeful of finding anyone from New Town to run for Kennedy’s seat (the way it is currently set up is two commissioners from the north and two from the south with Mayor from either). That was, until they started hearing about a volunteer fire fighter named Jerry.
Many first heard Jerry speak during Commission meeting public comments when the VFD was under attack and fighting for its survival. He came across naturally well-spoken and passionate. People were cautiously impressed and thought he may have potential as a candidate against Kennedy.
Many old-town residents were shaken out of their political depression when Jerry McIntee and fellow firefighter, Jim Silverstone decided to make a run for the commission against Kennedy and Wessels.
With brooms in hand, they carried out a successful campaign message of sweeping out the old and bringing in the new. With the help of By-the-Sea-Times and seasoned campaign operatives, they won, putting a 2-3 dent in a formerly solid 5-0 old-guard voting block.
Somewhere along this timeline, Jerry became the Chair of the CIC. His energy combined with the upset win over the old-guard incumbents and the successful CIC-sponsored term limit and height limit referendums propelled the CIC to a new level.
Although still one vote short on the dais and pretty much still losing on every issue, the new-guard was gaining steam but it would take a huge blast to unseat the last three old-guard commissioners on election day, January 29, 2008.

BC…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP, Novembe 17, 2008
BC…”Greenfest…the town manager did indeed send a memo to all of the Commissioners (when Minnet came clean with the private donation fund)…some commissioners not going into see the town manager each day were not in receipt of the memo until the night of the meeting”
Truth: Dodd’s e-mails and BC’s insinuations downright accused Town Manager Colon of intentionally hiding information from Dodd. ..and they both accused McIntee and Silverstone of breaking sunshine knowing about it. They knew because they go into town hall and pick up their mail…unlike Dodd does not bother face to face but prefers e-mail as others can do the writing for him.
Both Dodd and Cole owe the Town Manager and McIntee and Silverstone an apology for their unfounded attacks. IN-CREDIBLE!
BC…”Here’s the scoop…the evolving…fire safety patents…Vice Mayor and his patented invention of an extrication blanket”…
Truth: What is the point of this whole thing? I don’t get it? Is BC just practicing downloading useless documentations onto her website for the heck of it. Why it doesn’t make any sense at all is that she doesn’t even go to the trouble of somehow using the information to slam McIntee…BC what is the point then?
BC…”The LBTS-VFD-SOP…citizen advisor position…Article 5…section 2…3…4…5…6…7…
Truth: BC is still practicing downloading more useless documents that she got from J. Thom…..and that Dodd will eventually coldly deliver as an ultimatum at the next commission meeting.
BC…”Who’s watching the tourists…where were the lifeguards…non-existent in lbts…
Truth: Of course, someone like BC could never appreciate that the VFD beach patrol is trying to help where no one has bothered to help before.
Does nothing satisfy this woman?
Now that BC is cozying up to Minnet hoping for a little more power with her vote…she’s also cozying up to Minnet’s grand dream of lbts lifeguards and…by the way…raising everyone’s lbts tax bill astronomically to pay for them. BC might be so rich that she could pay the lifeguard bills herself…how about that BC…deal? You demand it…you pay for it!
BC..”It becomes clear where LBTS priorities lay when we walked back to the parking lot and saw that the city does employ busy meter maids who hand out $25 parking tickets”
TRUTH: BC…leave the town employees alone…they have a job to do…leave the VFD alone…they have a job to do…leave the rest of us alone…we have lives to live…please, go away.
More to come…
November 18, 2008 at 7:28 am
I’m still waiting to hear BC’s response to the comment about BC trying to fix the Vice-Mayor position for Stuart Dodd. Since BC swears that BC does not read this site, could someone who does and knows BC please tell BC there are hundreds of local citizens waiting to hear BC’s explanation for that one. Thank you

Isn’t it strange that BC thinks she knows more than the United States Patent Department? Now BC really thinks BC knows everything about everything and is looking seemingly ignorant of facts.
Speaking of the town website, Bc, everyone is still waiting for Dodd’d Bio and his claim of possessing an engineering degree. BC, the google investigator, should investigate Dodd’s claim.
BC turns BC’s back on questioning Minnet’s Greengate Fiasco and fails to show any sign of producing an engineering degree from Dodd. Instead she continually attacks Vm who has a lifetime full of successes.
November 18, 2008 at 7:16 pm
With the successes during the 2006 elections and the enthusiasm Jerry McIntee brought as Chair of the CIC, he did become a strong leader for the new-guard movement and their ideals.
He remained appreciative to both the MacMillans, owners of the By-the-sea-Times and the Furths for their support during the campaign and formed a close social relationship with BC and the Dodds. Born out of that small social group were the eventual decisions that Stuart Dodd would take over as Chair of the CIC with BC as Vice-Chair, thus setting the stage for Stuart to run for John Yanni’s commission seat.
This was all pretty much nailed down by early summer of 2007 about 4 months before the actual CIC endorsement process began in earnest. Christie Furth and others were showing potential interest in making a run for the commission but BC (then CIC Vice-Chair) and McIntee (former CIC Chair) were sticking with Dodd (new CIC Chair). It was a done deal.
As usual, the new-guard concern was finding a candidate to run from the north. During the summer Jerry McIntee has approached Birute Clottey about the idea. Birute had become a CIC member earlier in the year and eventually agreed to sign on as a candidate.
If you have been around local politics for a little while and wondered
where BC and Dodd came from, here’s a little history.
Dodd had shown up on the LBTS political scene right around the time of the 2006 height limit referendum, joined the CIC and earned some CIC stripes when he put his name on the Oliver Parker recall petition drive. He deserves credit for taking that on and getting sued in the process (attorney fees paid for by a loyal friend?) However, little else was known about Dodd other than witnessing his verbal attacks against the Oriana developers, the BSO, and the old-guard during commission meeting public comments.
BC showed up on the LBTS political scene in the summer of 2005. The story goes that she was searching out a political side to sit on, the old-guard or new-guard and decided new-guard it would be. As with Dodd, little else was known about BC other than she also began attacking the misdeeds of the Old-Guard during public comments.
Eventually, BC hooked up with the McIntees, joined the CIC and earned her CIC stripes with generous financial contributions to the organization and collecting signatures for the term limits petition drive.
Now, back to the campaign:
During August, 2007 the Furths built the CIC website and a combination CIC/Dodd/Clottey campaign committee formed.
With Dodd and Clottey in place for commissioners the question was, who would run for Mayor? Over the summer two names were being floated, a Michael D. who was interested in moving into town and a familiar name, John T. who also would have to move back into town.
Both men had impressive educational and professional resumes. However, one was a complete unknown and the other maybe too well known. Remember, at this time the thought was that Parker would be running again and could still be a tough competitor.
Jerry McIntee (and many others) did not exactly warm up to Michael D. and Michael would not commit to moving the LBTS. However, John T. had been hinting for months that he would be willing to move back into town and even went so far as the find rent-free accommodations in a local home and present a list of required furnishings to the homeowner.
However, John had unsuccessfully run for commissioner in two previous elections and many did not consider him to be a viable candidate; therefore his idea did not receive much encouragement. When the Old-Guard commissioners changed the March election dates to the January primaries John would not have been able to fulfill the 6 month residency requirements anyway. Few were disappointed. However, his considerable intellectual talents would still be a welcome contribution to the overall new-guard campaign.
The new-guard campaign committee met on a regular basis following in the footsteps of weekly old-guard strategy meetings that had been going on for over a year. With two candidates on board, two main questions remained unanswered. Who would run for mayor and what would the strategy be?
These two questions were the triggers that set in motion a roller coaster campaign ride that formed the basis of today’s attacks by three former members of the new-guard against the CIC, the MacMillans (owners of the Times), Vice-Mayor McIntee, and the Furths, all major contributors to the success of campaign 2008.
Please stay tuned for installment 5 of the “Insider”
November 18, 2008 at 8:10 pm
BC is being used , knows it and doesn’t care. Shes in love with the attention too much to let herself care. BC is attacking the VM because that’s her ticket, her only ticket for the attention BC needs to stay in view.
If BC did a little more thinking about the situation BC would discover BC is spending a great deal, if not all Bc’s time on one target, but its the wrong one. A classic political tactic to use a fake target in order to get the real one inside to do the damage.
The real targets are the ones, like me, who want to control and change the town into what we think is best for us. It started with the annexation and the lies used to make sure it happened. You are now paying for those lies and besides that, it’s in the best interest for some to keep the town divided.
I’ll share a little secret with you.
Because some of us know if you keep it up by continuing telling people it’s the fault of “X” then sooner or later enough people will look deeper into your lies and figure out the truth. Why would anyone beileve the numerous lies told when the facts are missng? Get rid of “Y” who created the liess in the first place!
Lies won’t matter but your Slap site is making a difference for spreading the truth. Most of the people in town are busy and will soon forget BC’s lies,anyway. The silent majority knows the truth and will continue to support the VM, Silverstone,The VFD ,Amr ,The town manager and goodness. Bc won’t have a chance for political survival.
The developer’s will try to continue their plans to make a lot of money in LBTS but will fail miserably. Read the truth ,speak the truth and the developers will partly blame Bs failed attempts’s to spread hate and lies,along with their own lies. They’ll move on to the next town and try to slaughter once again! Bc could be on the next plane heading north.
November 18, 2008 at 11:11 pm
BC says,”New Commission…
you lost when you purchased the McIntee Public Safety Complex…Stop!…”
Truth:Dodd has proven to be a puppet of BC.
Clottey is holding her own,hopefully not being tied to the puppet
strings of Bc.
Both Dodd and Clottey voted to purchase and are responsible for purchasing the safety complex which will house the BSO with a new jail cell and offices and house the other public safety servers.
Many people believe the purchase adjacent to Town Hall was a great move for the future of the town. When BC wakes up and realizes the citizens know the purchase was an exellent move and a valuable asset to this town, she will probably once again run to Mayor Minnet and once again direct the Mayor to put BC”s agenda on the commission meeting agenda as BC has already admitted to having done in regard to placing BC’s oversite committee on a previous agenda!
The agenda item will read probably read something like this:
Discussion and or action of RENAMING the now know “McIntee Public Safety Complex” TO the the “BC Public Safety Complex.”
November 19, 2008 at 5:12 am
I take great exception to BC referring to “seedy” areas of our town. However ,I also did not like Parker’s “a “Prettiest Small Town” nonsense. Both Parker and BC appear to have difficulty knowing the truth If they were introduced to it. When was the last time BC did anything to change the myriad of problems BC writes about? BC has burned so many bridges no organization would have her. Did she ever think of volunteering ? One political campaign in which BC caused havoc and it has set BC on a path of no return. I cannot imagine living in this town and have people only talk to me to tell me gossip as BC admits to when there are so many chances to do good and make a difference.I now understand how it seems her personality and inner demons will not let her live in peace. BC would have been removed from P&andZ eventually because it appears BC is incapable of restraint.The Oriana got the job done first.
November 19, 2008 at 6:24 am
BC…IN..CREDIBILITY GAP…November 18, 2008
BC: “Dear Readers…the VFD is not being run according to their own by-laws…continue to attack those that dare to question…ignore requests for public information…enlist the Mc-tactics of divide and conquer…etc,…etc…etc…
Truth: The VFD has been in service for 6 weeks…built back from nothing…lead by the most experienced firefighter…McIntee willing to volunteer every free moment for the cause…instituted a completely new Beach Safety Patrol…have had an out of the ordinary amount of fire calls to be tested and done admirably.
All the while being endlessly attacked, abused, and picked apart like vultures by people like BC and Dodd, and unfortunately even Clottey at times…not to mention Futures. Reminds me of a type of mother who would be watching her child take its first steps with a critical eye just waiting until it falls so she could smack it around a little for its “mistakes” and make herself feel powerful.
BC…”They must operate with transparency no matter who is asking for answers”
Truth: BC, go plead your case to BSO Chief, Sheriff Lamberitti, private town contractors just like the VFD and see how far you get with your reams of public information requests.
BC…”For the town manager not to investigate that proper procedure has been followed is a derelection of her duties…incomprehensible”
Truth: BC is again accusing the Town Manager of derelection of duties???
Clottey, it is time to sh– or get off the pot with BC. You are now being called to put yourself on the line and take a stand. Continued connection with BC will be the end of your credibility as a commissioner and the end of any possibililty of harmony in this town.
Good people will only stand for abuse for so long and then they will find greener pastures. The town manager and her staff are angry over BC and Dodd’s demands, attacks, and abuses. BC and Dodd need to be put in their place and you have to stand up with Silverstone and McIntee to do it.
Clottey, open your eyes, you can see she has done no good only harm.
The problems are not because of McIntee ,they are caused by BC and you know it. If you let her get away with it BC may get her wish and you will be sitting up there in two years with TWO MORE OLD GUARD COMMISSIONERS and , trying to figure out how high to raise the taxes to pay for the BSO fire and EMS and where to find a qualified town manager and staff to do all the work.
Clottey…give her up…for the good of the town.
BC…”No one is against the members of the VFD”
Truth: Oh, I guess that is why BC never clapped once when 8 members of the VFD came to the podium at the last Commission meeting and poured their hearts out thanking LBTS for the opportunity to serve this community as a firefighter. All she did was shake her head with a little snicker after each one. BC has flip-flopped on every issue she once stood for…the VFD is no exception.
BC…”We are not the prettiest little town…we’re really messed up…and not just from construction debris”
Truth: I agree on this one…messed up because of the negativity of one woman who has alot of money and too much free time on her hands.
BC…”in 2010 we can finally say..the progress we made this time really was the will of the people”
Truth: The will of the people has been spoken in the last 3 elections…didn’t BC hear? The people wanted the new-guard, the VFD back, the overlay districts gone… and developers put in their place…they voted for Silverstone and McIntee because they were firefighters…the progress has been made! BC wants to turn back the clock to the days of the old-guard. Remember them? Corruption, back-door deals, payola, cronyism, high taxes, overriding the will of the people?
Hmmmmmm…Sounds like she and Dodd would fit right in!
BC…”NO masterplan steering committee/Pz meeting tonight”
Truth: She’s right about this one! The reason is because nothing was accomplished between the last meeting and this one and it would have been a waste of time to call in citizens with no new information to work with. This was not discussed until the actual morning of the meeting.
The priority given by the Commission to the masterplan committee was to work on El Mar drive revitalization first and if they had time work on zoning issues. Well, the reality is development has taken over and revitalization projects such as El Mar were not even mentioned on last month’s agenda or put on this months. What a complete waste of citizen’s valuable time!
If overlay districts is what Dodd wants…he should be doing the “donkey work” and minutia (as he puts it) himself!
BC…”BC hears another hotel property is on the market next to the town…administration ears are perking up to go for another buy?”
Truth: I got a call from Herman and Herman realtors asking me if I wanted to buy the building and I’m a nobody in town! BC should stop trying to fan a fire where there isn’t even a spark. Has anybody ever heard of Munchhausers Syndrome?
BC..”You lost us when you purchased the McIntee Public Safety complex, McIntee Community Recreational pool, etc…etc…
Truth: What is it called when someone develops a case of “selective memory”…oh, Alzheimers! Somebody seems to have forgotten that it is the Dodd, McIntee, Silverstone, Clottey Public Safety Complex and Community Recreational Pool….since all four voted for it! IN…CREDIBILITY ALERT!!!!!! please keep the meds up!
BC…”property tax chart…sitting steady for now”
Truth: BC…isn’t it just awful that LBTS has one of the lowest mileage rates anywhere around??? Aren’t you absolutely outraged??? Wouldn’t you agree this must be the fault of the Town Manager, Esther Colon and that Vice-mayor McIntee and Commissioner Silverstone who have been in office for two years!!! This is outrageous and should be corrected immediately!!! I demand a full accounting and complete transparancy on how this could have happened and I demand it now!~
Wow, I’m glad this day is over!
More to come…..
November 19, 2008 at 11:04 am
Read it in the Sun-Sentinel – BSO Sheriff’s police department costs Pompano Beach $37 million a year! This month Pompano Beach is hiring a firm for an estimated $60-80,000 to analyze both the current arrangement with BSO and whether to re-establish their own city police force!!!
Wow, our neighbors to the north sound like they too are getting tired of being soaked for mega-bucks and poor BSO service like LBTS was.
Once again, little lauderdale by the sea leads the way! Is it time for us to analyze whether to re-establish our own town police force too!
November 19, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Let’s take a look at one of the lingering questions from the last Insider installment, who would run for Mayor on the new-guard ticket. With Parker still in the picture only one name was on everyone’s lips for mayor and that was Mark Furth. Mark had been a commissioner just 4 years earlier and left office with high marks and high regard in the community. However, a solid year of prodding by insiders, including his wife, could not get him to budge and time was running out.
With hopes for Mark fading fast, BC suggested that Christie then run for mayor. This seemed like a good idea to the others but did not sit well with her husband, Mark or Jerry McIntee. Whether Mark and Jerry were working in collusion against this possibility has never been revealed to this day, but a chain reaction was definitely set in motion.
The question became, if not Christie, then who? Apparently, Christie did not want to take the leap but was feeling an obligation to put forth a trustworthy new-guard ticket. Suggestions were made that Dodd switch and run for mayor and Christie run for John Yanni’s seat, but Dodd would not agree.
Enter, Peanuts Wick. Peanuts had always stated that if either of the Furth’s wanted to run, he would sit back. With the decision weighing heavily on Christie’s heart, she asked the campaign committee to give her 30 days, until the first week of October, to decide yes or no (understanding that Peanuts was available as a backup) and if yes, make the announcement at the October CIC meeting, which the committee agreed to.
However, the next day, Jerry McIntee spoke with Peanuts about throwing his hat into the mayor’s race, they put together a meeting with Stuart (then CIC Chair) and arranged for Peanuts to be put on the September CIC agenda to announce his candidacy for Mayor.
To be fair, Jerry McIntee may not have been told of the agreement but Stuart Dodd definitely knew about the agreement but still allowed Peanuts to go ahead and announce at the following night’s meeting.
To also be fair to Peanuts, he may not even know to this day that any of this was occuring behind the scenes and I again caution readers that there could have been a co-conspiracy going on between Mark Furth and Jerry McIntee to discourage Christie from enterting the race.
However, Christie was hurt over what felt like a betrayal by Jerry, someone she had worked for and given support since his 2006 campaign. Christie’s hurt feelings combined with BC’s anger at having her suggestion of Christie for mayor rejected forged an alliance between the two women and campaign lines began to be drawn in the sand.
Adding fuel to the fire was contention over whether to run another “clean sweep” broom campaign this time around and how to best utilize the new CIC website for the benefit of the campaign without stepping on the toes of By-the-Sea-Times.
Those with political experience and maturity understand the intensity involved in running elections. Main operatives are working full speed ahead and under intense pressure to meet deadlines and adjust to new conditions as they present themselves. Emotions and blood pressure’s run high but the governing principle must be to put personal attitudes and feelings aside and work together for the greater goal.
One new-guard campaign member’s inability to let go, forgive, and get on with it was beginning to cause serious internal problems. With so much work to be done on a daily basis, this person began putting their penchant for divisiveness and dissention above the goal of the campaign and a potential new-guard victory in jeopardy. Wiser minds needed to prevail and override this destructive influence before irretrievable damage was done.
PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR THE INSIDER STORY, PART VI
Note: The Insider Says comments above was not mine
cause disagreement of dissention.
November 20, 2008 at 12:47 am
BC is in a world that now is slowly closing in on BC. The meanest and hate have driven most away from BC. Dodd is looking worst and worst as he asociates with BC. The word is The town staff says terrible things about BC behind her back, people on the street are picking up these vibes and more an more are running away. A hate merchant will be a merchant with no customers.
November 20, 2008 at 12:49 am
Food for thought, how bad can a person be where average cuitizens rebel and form a blog to tell the facts and show BC for what she is.

BC…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP, November 19, 2008
BC…”a major hit to our holiday season…say goodbye to the parade…the hayrides…goodbye to Christmas by the sea…2008…the chamber is thinking of ways to raise money throughout the year for the next years event…so they will not have to go to the podium and beg?”
Truth: Oh, poor chamber…you mean the guys who only invited the old-guard candidates to last year’s parade during election season and didn’t even give Commisssioners McIntee and Silverstone the decency of a phone call…and the same group that had their chamber volunteers wearing Yanni and Minnet buttons and stickers on their red t-shirts while working the event?…or the group that financed the whole event themselves last year without a penny of taxdollars…
Oh, you mean Paul Novak who weasled $7,000 out of the Commission this year and then went back and demanded another $7,000 at the last commission meeting and at the last minute…Does BC remember when her new BFF, Mayor Minnet told Paul NO, I think you can do with what you have been given…not a word from BC!
Paul has only raised $2,500 from the downtown businesses to fund an event that will put many more thousands back into their own pockets. And this writer was told that they Chamber pays $6,000 to have he tree put up…which couldn’t be right…but Paul? How about learning to work within a budget?
BC…”I am now pro-development…because the CIC ideas of development is no development at all”
Truth: oh, now there BC goes again…If BC had been around long enough she too might appreciate how the LBTS preservationists have managed prevent one short mile of beachfront from looking like the everything around it, including the 15th floor condo she lives in. BC, not everybody gets to see the beach from an ivory tower..some of them have to hoof it and appreciate a place where they can still find it! IN-CREDIBLE!
BC…”Board of Adjustment meeting…the new owners neighbors were all in favor of the single residence project”
Truth: The neighbors being Oriana, the empty hotel to the south, all the Oriana developer-owned properties acros the street that are being run into the ground…The Courtyard Villas is a vintage 1930 era boutique hotel that is one of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s greatest little treasures. Over the years it has been completely rennovated, charges very high rates and brings excellent clientele to town.
BC…”Joe Couriel asserted his take on the lbts founding fathers wanting hotels in this area…this was after he was advised the area is currently zoned for single family.
Truth: Joe is exactly right and BC is wrong. Taking out one more boutique hotel is a another stab into this town’s once thriving tourist industry that fed the downtown and commercial blvd. business area and made our beach area thrive. Not to be encouraged.
By the way BC…El Mar is zoned RM-25…multi-family (as in hotel)
BC: ” The applicant will need to prepare for the meeting…with a compromise on height..no higher than 44 feet!!!
Truth: AGH!!! Dear BC, the overlay districts are gone…bye bye 44 feet, hello underlying 33 feet, which has been there all along! Does this property have 200 feet frontage? If not, it would not even be eligible for building 44 feet even if we had an overlay district. Isn’t Courtyard villas a 50 foot lot? Can you imagine a 4 story house on a 50 foot lot. Brilliant, give BC an honorary engineering degree! NOT-CREDIBLE!!!
BC: “Finally, it is not required to prove hardship for a variance anymore”
Truth: Since when did this happen? Is this a new federal, state, county dictate that I missed? Having a hardship was the cornerstone of requesting a variance in the first place. Could BC possibily be making stuff up again? ps. Nice “slap” BC to fellow Sea Ranch neighbor and Board member, Carol Dickman…BC really knows how to keep friends!
BC: “Atwater/diving buddy/july th dunker/greenfest guest/etc.etc….an attempt to derail the ongoing inquiries into the VFD…
Truth: Please, what is she talking about? Is it just me? Is BC trying to sh–stir beyond our little borders…all the way to Tallahassee? Senator Atwater is a good friend of McIntee, the BTST (notice the campaign ad?), the Furths…and voters of both parties in LBTS. In my opinion BC is certifiable and I don’t mean in a good way!
Anybody in their right mind should question a robocall from the Republican Committee of Broward Couty in the mayor’s voice inviting residents to meet Senator Atwater at the Town-sponsored Greenfest event. I’m sure Senator Atwater had nothing to do with this debacle…it was purely another political faux pas of Mayor Minnet and her Republican strategist campaign manager, Terry Art—.
BC..”local news…names and town diferent…story, all too familiar…things started to change rapidly….ignoring suggestions made by residents…ignoring telephone calls and e-mails…no follow up, etc. etc.
Truth: Has anyone noticed that there are only two people complaining (constantly) about the service and efficacy of Town manager, Esther Colon and her staff? Can you guess who those two people are? I understand it is hard to tell them apart as they speak almost exactly the same words with the same nasty tone but try to guess anyway!!!
By the way…has Minnet turned the promised seemingly slush funds and bank account records over to the Town manager yet…it has been close to two weeks! Get right on it BC…NOT!
More to come…
November 20, 2008 at 6:36 am
As I’ve said before, BC and I were friends at one time, until she went off on the McIntee rants. This became all encompassing for BC and I never understood why BC felt so strong about him or why she would take such a risk. The risk being, if BC is wrong about the VM and all her words are forever out here, then BC can never live it down and be forgiven. Why would anyone place themselves in that position? It is becoming outside of what a normal person would choose.
Some people have said to me it reminds them of when Parker was mayor and he was acting the same as McIntee. I respond by reminding them Parker lied to us about the police, VFD and the annexation promises – to name a few. What has McIntee done? Jumped the gun by promising to get the chamber 5,000 for their holiday party? All else is subjective opinion. I find it sad that BC has made this decision and the ones who are supporting BC now will be the first ones to dump BC when they don’t need BC any longer.
November 20, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Birute Clottey had been tapped to run from the north and was trying to make a name for herself by speaking at public comments as all good candidates should. Unfortuntely, some of her performances at the podium did not come across well and left campaign insiders wondering if she could fill the bill against incumbent, Chuck Clark.
There were discussions here and there about these type of normal campaign concerns including difficulty with the name Birute, was it male/female/pronouncable? For clarification, we all agreed on Birute Ann and hoped for the best.
Close to CIC endorsement time, BC made a Hail Mary call to Bob Eckblad and asked if he would reconsider running from the north (in place of Birute) and hoped he would re-submit his CIC questionnaire for consideration.
Also in this time frame, Wick and Dodd were part of a meeting in the By they sea times office that has two different versions depending on who you talk to. In one version Dodd was tapped by others to ask Clottey to step down and in the other version, it was Dodd, himself, complaining that Clottey was being a drag on the ticket. I used to believe the first version but, knowing the players more today, I am now inclined to believe the latter. Unfortunately, Clottey was only told about the first version and it caused some bad feelings.
In the end, Eckblad did not jump on board, Clottey stuck with it and ended up knocking everyone’s socks off with her exceptional performances at both debates. She began as a sleeper candidate and has blossomed in her role as a commissioner bringing intelligence and common sense as we hoped she would.
Stuart Dodd was a challenging candidate to run for office on a number of fronts. The first problem was the public perception that he came across quite negative when speaking at public comments. He was constantly on the attack against the old-guard, which they deserved, however, people just did not warm up to him and even commented that when he spoke, they stopped listening. This was a problem for the campaign to deal with.
Stuart would be encouraged to offer a positive vision for the future of the town to give people a reason to vote for him, but he could not pull it off. He would always revert back to negativity and attacks or making unfortunate comments from the podium comparing straight roadways to “flat-chested women” (nothing irritated Stuart more than Christie trying to put something positive in his speeches or clarifying a phrase in an ad). Stuart did not understand that the concept of a campaign platform is to promote how you would make things better. Instead, he relegated putting his platform together to others while he took care of his boat business.
Stuart went on a two week cruise in prime campaign kick-off season and when he returned informed the committee that he was very busy with work and had little time to campaign door-to-door, a LBTS necessity and unlike Wick, Silverstone, and McIntee who made time to knock on doors every day.
Campaign leaders were taking care of every other aspect of the campaign to free Dodd up for this all-important job but it was like pulling teeth. In fairness, The Dodds did do some door-to-door but soon faded-out.
Another situation that could have nailed the coffin shut on a new-guard victory was BC’s insistence that campaign mailers do not work and she didn’t want to bother with them. This became a battle royale between insiders. The Furths were incredulous that Dodd had no intention of doing a mailing campaign because BC doesn’t read mailers.
The old-guard candidates were being funded to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars by developers and unions and buildling a formidable war chest to spend on flooding the town with promotional material. Months of efforts were about to go down the drain.
(Clottey was astute enough to listen to the Furths who then produced two impressive mailers promoting her excellent educational credentials, life experience, and vision for LBTS. If Peanuts Wick would have listened to campaign advisers and sent mailers, he would have beaten Minnet by a landslide)
Dodd dropped another bombshell that night in a face-to-face stand off with his then campaign manager, Christie Furth “I have no money and I have no time”. Those are just about the last words anyone wants their candidate to utter. The campaign was at the point of no return, candidate qualifying had ended, there were no other options, we had to work with what we had and working with Dodd and BC was becomming increasingly frustrating.

November 21, 2008 at 5:28 am
These revelations from the insider are absolutely great, not to mention juicy. BC is painting herself into the corner and BC just gets worst. No not worst, desperate, everyone is seeing the truth now and it is hurting to the core for BC. The citizens of our town know what a trouble maker BC is and no one likes that kind of person. The term BULLY can now be placed over BC head with the strong arguement her tactics are the tactics of a BULLY. Dodd better bail, she is taking you down. Clotty knows and is protecting herself, BC is a scandal for any politician to be associated with, just think if poor Clotty was stuck with her and Dodd for the next 3 years, the old guard reincarnated. Not to mention Minnet defender now.

BC…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP, November 20, 2008
BC….”And thou shall not respond…Not following the
rules..on so many levels…to her credit…town clerk responded moments prior to the posting…and the town attorney…not long afterwards”
Truth: Bc’s little friends…you know the ones that keep her company in her special computer room must be telling her how important she is again…they know it makes feel good when she thinks that the town administration and town attorney are constantly monitoring her blog and ready to jump into action the second BC posts a special message for them. BC seems to be fond of lapdogs.
BC…”Chief Perkins, Town Clerk, June White, Town Attorney Dan Abbott, Town Manager Esther Colon, State’s Attorney’s office…I am waiting for responses to my public information requests!!!!”
TRUTH: and if you do not comply, we are all going to Tallahassee for a little visit…because my good friend John T. who writes up all these endless amounts of technical minutia I am demanding also knows how to write endless amounts of ethics complaints….AND YOU VILL PAY!!! (click of the heels, right arm up)
EXCUSE ME MOMENT: AM I, AN ORDINARY CITIZEN ALLOWED TO HAVE PRIVATE E-MAIL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE TOWN ATTORNEY ON TAXPAYER DOLLARS? I’M WRITING HIM TOMORROW AND ASKING DAN ABBOT@WSH-LAW.COM IF THE CITIZENS OF LBTS CAN FILE A HARRASSMENT SUIT AGAINST you know who….OR AT LEAST GET A RESTRAINING ORDER!
BC…”We made the papers..LBTS unguarded beaches raises concern”
Truth: The reason this made the Sun-Sentinel is because BC worked hard to make it happen. She has no quams about giving LBTS a black eye if there is a shred of hope that it will harm McIntee in some way, shape, or form. BC was seen going after the Sun-Sentinel reporter at Commission meetings…undoubtedly feeding this story to her along with a mouthful of negativity. Is it just me… but didn’t Jerry try to help someone who needed it?
BC…”Not following the rules on so many levels…how did we get to this place and how did so much promise…get squandered and sucker-punched…in such a short time span”
TRUTH: You have to read this one for yourself to believe the IN-CREDULITY of BC’s selective memory. She does not understand how everything went so wrong so fast.
If she would go back to the first three months of after the election when there were really 4 new guard members sitting on the dais….remember, bc everything was wonderful…all the bad was getting undone…but she weren’t finished with payback from the election quite yet. Not quite finished with McIntee, Furth, the MacMillans, the CIC, and everything new-guard yet.
BC and trio tried to fix the Vice-Mayor ship… fix the CIC elections and stack the Board of Directors… orchestrate a Clottey and Dodd throw the CIC overboard… start a full-throttle internal and external jihad to bring down the CIC… completely flip from new-guard ideals to old-guard bull….reverse positions on all campaign promises including height limits, term limits, will of the people…constantly attacks the VFD, AMR, NEW TOWN ADMINISTRATION…supports Rosanne Minnet and the Futures propaganda!
Gee, BC I too wonder how we got so this place…got side-tracked…squandered and suckerpunched..hoodwinked…etc. etc.
Sweetheart…all you have to do is look in the mirror…yes, you will see a refelction of why there is so much trouble in our town.

November 21, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Not withstanding the internal campaign struggles regarding strategy, an equally serious situation was building that could have, on its own, heralded the demise of the new guard campaign; that being the loss of support of By-the-Sea-Times.
The MacMillans, owners of the Times, had built the Times from scratch into a respected LBTS newspaper. Over the years, they weathered the storms, the copycat Futures paper, the financial struggles, etc. and were very proud and protective of their work and understandably sensitive to competition. Seasoned campaign operatives knew one thing for sure and that was; without the By the Sea Times, the campaign was dead in the water; and it came close to it.
BC had urged the Furth’s to turn the new CIC website into an online news service similar to how the Times and Futures began and what BC hosts today. Thinking it could be helpful for the election, the Furths went along and a news service it started growing into, not knowing this would be a problem for the MacMillans. But, it soon turned out to be a very big problem.
The MacMillans were feeling betrayed by BC who they had once taken under their wing at the paper and upset with the Furths for siding with BC. The relationship with the MacMillans and the support of By-the-sea-Times was on the chopping block. The McIntees had always said they would support the CIC/ Dodd /Wick/Clottey campaign and although there was friction, the final goal was to win all three seats.
This was starting to look bad on a number of fronts. The leaders of the new-guard were being fractioned, former friends were being pit against each other, psychological warfare was being waged from within the campaign and nobody was backing down.
Unfortunately, BC the initiator, also tried to prolong this divisiveness and prevent reconciliation between the Furths and the McIntees and MacMillans. She did not care if the candidates lost the support of the the By the Sea Times because she believed that the campaign did not need the paper; That the CIC website could do the job and it also seemed like she did not want to share the Furths with the McIntees.
It was the Furths who decided that enough was enough. They realized that if they let personalities get in the way of the greater goal of winning the election the old-guard would stay in power and they were highly motivated to not let that happen. They ended the use of the CIC website as a news service and let go of any hard feelings with the McIntees in an attempt to bring everyone back into the fold.
These actions were the beginning of the end between the Furths and BC and this is where it gets a little weird.
BC always calls her “people” numerous times a day. During her daily phone calls to the Furths she would ask “Had they seen Jerry today” “Had they talked to Jerry” “Was Jerry now being allowed onto their property” “Was Jerry in the house” “Is he there right now” “Is Mark out to lunch with Jerry” “Are you going out to dinner with Jerry”.
It was becoming clear to the Furths that their newfound friend was not what she had initially seemed and that her unrealistic obsession concerning Jerry McIntee was putting additional strain on the campaign and everyone involved. When the Furths backed away from BC it opened a new and very interesting phase of Campaign 2008 that you won’t want to miss reading about in the next installment of the Insider.
November 22, 2008 at 6:11 am
BC is now a fire expert among everything else she claims to be a expert in. BC so tainted with hate and meanest that BC has lost all reality. So here is a quick reality check. Several of the Board of 4900 Sea Ranch want no part of BC and want her to stay out of their business. This gadfly sticks her nose in everyones business and it is backfiring. You know how the town employees are saying bad things about BC you should hear what her neighbors are saying about her. It would burn your ears. No one likes a trouble maker and that is BC title throughout our town. Dodd is taking heat for his asssoication with her, he better wake up.

BC…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP, November 21, 2008
BC…After the holidays it is time to have another workshop and decide once and for all how to make it easy for the businesses to get their events on”
TRUTH: The downtown businesses have been getting their events on just fine for years and years without another BC/Dodd Oversight Committee! YIKES! Town administration is doing their job with a few minor application glitches on both sides…it is the Chamber of Commerce that needs to get their act together with their business membership and stop trying to soak taxpayers for more than the $110,000.00 they are already subsidsed on a yearly basis.
BC…”This latest event was a mess from start to finish…doomed by the Vice Mayor”
TRUTH: AGH! Not McIntee again, BC! The doom came because the one restaurant who had been carrying most of the financial load since the beginning of the event decided not to continue doing so…and who can blame them! …so who did the Chamber turn to for a hand-out…the taxpayers of LBTS….and they got it to the tune of $7,000. They should be grateful rather than nasty! kudos to Mayor Minnet on holding the line with Novak!
BC has now morphed into the town’s greatest chamber supporter which includes Future’s editor, Cindy Geesey and delivery boy, Ron Piersante…do wonders never cease??? IN-CREDIBLE!
BC…”Enlist a town-wide straw poll to ask residents how they want to proceed in the future with lbts town events…Is it time to downsize to small town events?
TRUTH: BCs idea of a fabulous July 4th was to have a picnic around the fountain at the Community Church. BC never came to Easter-by-the-Sea, 700 attendees, cost…$1000…or July 4th…3,500 attendees, cost, including the major expense of fireworks, $50,000… or Halloween…2,500 attendees, citizens…cost $2,500.
BC never donated a nickel or lifted a finger to help with any of these events…all she ever did was complain about every little detail of the hard work done by volunteers who, unlike herself, like to make LBTS a pleasant place to live and visit.
BC…”Please Commissioners have a workshop on events”…
TRUTH: Please Commissioners, don’t listen to a word she says and count your lucky stars there are town residents willing to work their ass– off to give to this town…they won’t stand for BC breathing down their necks! Obviously, she is completely jealous of the kudos the Furths get for their town events and wants to try to spoil that too.
THE BC GRINCH IS TRYING TO STEAL CHRISTMAS, EASTER, JULY 4TH, AND HALLOWEEN away from the residents of LBTS! IN-CREDIBLE!
BC..”some will say this writer is now pro-BSO…for giving them space on this site”
TRUTH: That’s not a problem, we like it because it just proves more evidence for BC’s IN-CREDIBILITY! To the old-guard… please take her…its your turn…we have suffered long enough…she has scorched-earth every relationship she once had on the new-guard side of lbts life…
we are relieved and getting happy again…Dodd goes with BC which is ok with us too…
BSO, Developers, Futures paper…take this “lady” please!
BC…”Sea Ranch Club…telephone game…the fire…
TRUTH: This write-up was a painful to try to even read and I finally gave up trying to follow a BC thought to completion. All I can say is that the word is that the fire was in a wall and I will spare you the minute by minute by minute details that are so similar to the miniscule minutia so often written by a certain Princeton diplomat who used to torture us with his endlessly long articles for the By-the-Sea-Times and who now helps out good friend BC whenever he can.
BC…”10th anniversary Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Craft Festival”
TRUTH: I wonder if BC knows how this much-anticipated town event got started? Lets see…could it be that awful Marc Furth, then head of Main Street promotion who is the responsible party?
More to come….
November 22, 2008 at 7:25 pm
There was little difference between the CIC Board of Directors and the Dodd/Clottey/Wick campaign team. They were pretty much the same players involved but there were times when lines were crossed that shouldn’t have been.
Dodd had called together a campaign meeting and Christie (already on the verge of resigning as Dodd’s campaign manager) asked if they could make it a CIC Board of Directors meeting to discuss critical strategies (including putting out a CIC glossy mailer). If so, she would come and fellow Directors, Jerry McIntee and Tom Carr would also be available. Dodd said no and told Tom specifically not to come when he called in, specifying it was not a CIC Board meeting.
Low and behold, the Furth’s get a call from Dodd during the meeting saying that “they” decided the CIC should put out a glossy mailer and the Furths needed to get on it. (by this time BC and Dodd’s eyes had been opened by all the mailers coming from the old-guard}
But how did this decision get made? The meeting was specifically stated as not being a CIC Board meeting. Dodd defended the situation by saying they just happened to have a quorum of Directors (which was statistically impossible) and went ahead to discuss CIC campaign strategies.
Christie found these backdoor tactics indefensible and finalized her resignation as Dodd’s campaign manager that night, resigning as a CIC Director as well. Within an hour she received what she refers to as a “gold watch” e-mail from John Thompson thanking her for her years of service (as founder of the CAC/CIC) and that was it. A new splinter group had just been formed consisting of BC, Dodd, and Thompson.
Christie quickly rethought the reality of completely turning over the CIC to these three and within hours rescinded her resignation as Director. The Furths continued on as Clottey’s campaign manager and overall new-guard campaign coordinators and Dodd worked together with BC and Thompson.
The CIC was dedicated to electing the three new-guard candidates (because that meant getting rid of the old-guard) and CIC Directors were willing to drain the bank account to do it.
CIC Chair and candidate, Stuart Dodd always voted in favor of using CIC funds to further his campaign which many thought to be a conflict of interest. Another issue raising a ruckus on the Board were two CIC “letters” written by John Thompson and sent out to voters. One focused mainly on the Palm Club sewers and sent to northern condos only and ther other, suppose to be the “clincher” was a mishmosh of topics and sent townwide. Both letters were difficult to digest due to Thompson’s writing style.
Christie had tried to address the mailer issue time and again saying the focus should be to conteract the main lines of attack and lies coming from the old-guard re: the BSO Police, “Volunteer EMS”, higher taxes and assessments. Not only did this suggestion fall on deaf ears, Christie was basically told in an e-mail from BC (then CIC Vice-Chair) to back off and stop interfering with what John Thompson wanted to do.
Thompson had been on the warpath against funding the Palm Club sewers with Dodd close at his heels. Alot of people felt the Palm Club deserved the sewers they had been promised but alot of others disagreed that sewers should be installed on private property. A candidate saying no to the sewers was automatically losing 90-some Palm Club votes…but you had to counteract that loss by telling all the other voters how great you are for saving them all those tax dollars, but that important message wasn’t getting out either.
The old-guard was getting the upper hand by spreading their blatant lies and scare tactics through the Futures paper, Sun-Sentinel interviews, and mailers. The new-guard had been playing nice for too long and it was time to start playing hardball.

BC…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP…November 22, 2008
BC…”Hollywood fighting $1.2 million liability award in public works truck crash…a confidential memo conceding responsibility sent by former City Attorney Dan Abbott to city commissioners on the morning of the trial…
readers may recall from previous posts the position of the lbts town attorney was the beginning of the problem this writer has with the town manager and her hiring practices”
TRUTH: The Hollywood incident happened 6 years ago and Attorney Abbott was upfront about the entire incident with his memo stating “Hollywood’s primary responsibility in causing the accident is largely beyond dispute…this is a serious case of liability and Mr. Miller’s damages are substantial. A substantial judgement against the city is expected.”
Abbott laid it on the line and obviously did his best to protect the city and work the problem out within legal guidelines…Sometimes other factors come into play. Compared to the years of cover-ups and pandering to commissioners from the former lbts town attorney, Mr. Abbott has been a god-send. Town Manager received two RFP’s for the job from the only local firms that specialize in municipal law and chose the best…it stretches the CREDIBILITY factor to the limit for BC to be giving her requirements for selecting our town attorney!
BC…”public records..repeat..someone has some explaining to do”
TRUTH: Does anyone has a clue as to what she is getting at with this one??? If you do, please help me out…It can be assumed she is trying to back up her claims that she is being stone-walled on some sort of public records request again…by all the bad people at town hall, the VFD, AMR, etc. etc…do any of us really care about this…we all know what it will amount to…an inquisition, a witchhunt, an attack, an insult, and a waste of everyone’s time again!
BC…”Scene heard around town…It is a crying shame the town decided to scrimp on the holiday tree wrapping lights…
TRUTH…How about BC offering to donate some lights or donate some time and physical labor to get the job done? as always, those who don’t…complain loudest about those that do
BC…”Heard about some fires this week…with a quick response by VFD”
TRUTH: hold the presses, sound the town fire alarm, people of LBTS did you hear that, BC said a kind word about the VFD…such a great supporter!
BC…”agreed upon times discussed at a commission meeting in much detail by the Assistant Town Manager concerning pavillion construction site impact of road and businesss was a ruse!
TRUTH: Anybody with common sense knows construction is messy and inconvenient for everybody…cars are still able to make the turnaround and valet still open for Aruba…BC, should stop being such a drama-queen!
BC…”why is there a double-standard…the alley and access are open for Aruba…but not for pier?
TRUTH: The alleyway to the south is now a town portal with huge amounts of pedestrians passing through to the beach and unless an opening is done very well, vehicular traffic could conflict with pedestrian traffic. Not impossible to accomplish but have to be careful. The alleyway to the north is still configured like an alleyway but…have heard it too could be transformed into a portal…I’m sure the Managers of Aruba will appreciate BC making a big issue out of it and starting to exaccerbate the situation…which seems to be her purpose for living.
BC…”Dinner 101…benches were full…happy visitors…no open container policing…though
TRUTH: Wasn’t it BC’s cohort Dodd who was pushing for an open-container district covering all of the downtown area??????? Anyone being able to walk freely all over town streets and sidewalks. boozing it up…And now she’s complaining about lack of policing…IN-CREDIBLITY ALERT!

November 23, 2008 at 9:29 pm
You cannot imagine the intensity involved in running a local political campaign. The issues involved such as taxes, pubic safety, development, and neighborhood quality of life hit very close to home. It was this passion for the issues that kept the McIntees, Furth’s, and MacMillans working towards the goal even though they were not being treated well by the new splinter group of BC, Dodd, and JT.
The By-the-Sea Times was dedicated to getting the candidates’ messages out on every important issue. Jerry and Mark went out on nightly patrol to replace stolen new-guard campaign signs; Christie organized fund-raising and CIC membership drives; debate preps were organized; meet & greet house and condo parties were put on; big community events were staged, all smart political moves experienced campaigners knows to do.
The Furths took the entire month of January off from running their hotel to devote their time exclusively to the campaign. Between the two of them they designed and produced all the newspaper ads, glossy mailers, door-to-door handouts, t-shirts, stickers, banners, photographs, bicycle signs, campaign yard signs, sample ballots, and put together the final special election of BTST (with editorial input from Jerry McIntee).
The special edition was completed with a positive cover of the three candidates (which this writer agrees was the best choice) along with the lead “Time for a Change”. However, it was still a very dicey question as to whether or not the old-guard scare tactics and lies were gaining traction with voters.
An emergency meeting of all the principles (except BC) was called for and a plan pushed forth to insert a flyer in the special edition titled “Blatant Lies that have been Circulated about us” (the new-guard candidates) – and the Truth is. Every lie that needed counteracting was finally addressed as well as the Palm Club Sewer funding and some have said this was what turned their vote toward the new-guard candidates.
BC, however, has been given credit for the success of election 2008 by Stuart Dodd and even by herself when she wrote on her website that she was campaign manager for both Dodd and Clottey (Christie was Clottey’s campaign manager and until mid-December, Dodds as well).
But what did BC actually do for the election? In fairness, she did keep an updated calendar of events, did some speech edition, but mostly delegated work to others to accomplish. She had a few jobs given to her like writing letters to the northern condos for meet & greet events with the candidates, but failed to come through, costing candidates alot of potential votes. All promotional material, parties, events, CIC organizing, etc. was done by others. It was even uncovered later that while campaign leaders were pulling their hair out during the big push month of January, BC was busy, not with election matters, but putting together her personal on line news website together to debut immediately after the election.
It is the insider’s perception that the campaign was successful in spite of BC. If she had not been over-ruled numerous times during election 2008, I believe the new-guard could have easily lost all three seats.
No mailers would have been sent out, no money would have been raised and there would have been no VFD parade (a huge crowd pleaser). Poll workers would not have out sample ballots (which included a “clincher” message on development) and the critical flyer rebutting the old-guard lies and scare tactic would never have been distributed. All were opposed by BC.
But even worse, if BC had gotten her way, the campaign would have remained devastatingly divided against itself. The MacMillans and By-the-Sea-Times would have pulled their support and the McIntees would have given up their efforts early on and Furths would have seen the handwriting on the wall.
This insider used to remember Stuart Dodd rubbing his hands together during the election and saying with a twinkle in his eye and big grin “Payback is going to be sweet” At one time, this insider, ashamedly.
bought into that idea but thankfully recognized how wrong it is to extract retribution against the very people who ended up working for you every day on the campaign trail.
As I mentioned from the start, the purpose of this series has been to point out the line those who have been trashed by BC’s website stand in to get their reputations back. Without the efforts of these people, there would have been no changing of the guards. None of them deserve the hurtful attacks launched against them because there were no actions so agregious that could not have been overlooked, forgiven, and completely forgotten so that today we could all be enjoying the combined successes of the last three elections together.
We are all still shaking our heads at what has transpired since the big win. The division we fought off within the campaign is now alive and growing again and starting to take hold within the community. It is depressing those who voted for positive change and energizing those who thrive on and enjoy promoting negativity and divisiveness.
Please stay tuned for Part X of the “Insider”.

BC you poor lost sole. You just continue to tell untruths and fabricate the stories those little people are telling you. The 47 potties is a great wopper, keep on that one, it really helps your credilbility. Keep on attacking our citizens, I am sure Ms Mohler is expressing her views about you to all. BC you dont get it, it would appear people hate you and you just make it worst for yourself. Negative, negative, negative all the time, it turns people off. BC for you it is to late you have burnt to many bridges. Comm. Meeting date changed, no secret all agreed on by Commision, makes more sense to have a meeting in middle of December then just one in beginning. You just appear to hate so much your eyes are clouded with misnomers and vile thoughts. BC this site is telling the truth, the hits are off the wall and LBTS residents are far to smart for you. They know what a prejudice person you are and they are turning you off. When you walk the town, look at the way people seem to shun you and the way they look at you, this is your fault you brought this on by continuely atacking everyone in town from worrkers to citizens, we are all sick of you go back to Chicago.
November 24, 2008 at 12:24 am
Bc seems to “HEAR” just about everyone is “again to accommadate the vacationing Vice Mayor.” Get a life BC. Are you his Vacationer Planner now and you know where and when VM’s in and out of town? WRONG! Again, BC reports on hearsay and AGAIN has NO FACTS and BC’s “Hearsay ” reporting is ALL WRONG! Give it up !!!WOWIE,ZOWIE!!!

BC…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP, November 23, 2008
BC…”Arts n Crafts Fair…ran into many neighbors…and Commissioner Dodd after I met up with Commissioner Clottey…”
TRUTH: Note to Commissioner Clottey…I’d be a little careful who you’re seen with out there in public with…BC is considered a town phiranah…you know the fish with the vicious little teeth. There is nobody in town, not even Cindy G. who is seen in as much of a bad light as BC…being a friend of BC is nothing to display out in the public eye.
BC…”Chief Perkins was responsive and promised to reply to my next public records request…
TRUTH…and BC’s next…and the next….and the next….and the next….ah heck, who needs to waste time going on fire calls…when BC calls consider it a 5-alarm emergency!
BC…”He said he is ready and able to answer all questions at the podium at all times from the Commisssion despite protestations from the VFD members on the dais…so Commissioners…ask away!
TRUTH…Chief Perkins has done that all along…and there is a difference between asking a question and a witchhunt…but to BC they are one and the same…maybe Dodd will serve up a little roasted VFD for Thanksgiving at Tuesday’s commission meeting.
BC…”Chief Perkins informed this writer that McIntees son has taken Pontu’s position training the FF1 class…this means McIntee must recuse himself from all VFD votes.”
TRUTH: Thank you Counselor-at-law BC for the heads-up…RECUSE…RECUSE…RECUSE THYSELF…or heads will roll!
BC…”The chief did now know that the sops still contained the#205 VFD members respondingwhile on duty with AMR…and responded that is not allowed after he was dressed down by the Manager over the fact that the contract did not allow it…I CONCURRED…AND SAID THAT WAS WHY I WAS SUPRISED TO SEE ITS INCLUSION…AND CHECKED WITH THE TOWN FOR ANY AMENDED SOPS”…
TRUTH: BC is just trying to impress us with what seems like expert knowledge of contracts, standards and practices, fire terminology…but we are not fooled…this stuff is downloaded to BC by none other than the King of Minutia…Mr. T. who has enough of it stored up deep within his gray matter to tear apart every VFD in the country. I CONCUR!
BC…”The Chief and I finished up (BC then dismissed him)…one final thought… he is in charge…and he cannot get caught up in all the stuff going on with McIntee and Silverstone…he needs to keep his eye on the VFD and protecting the town…words this writer wants to believe and see in action!
TRUTH: and Chief…by the way….don’t forget WHO IS THE BOSS OF YOU! It is not those with firefighting experience like McIntee and Silverstone…it is me…BC…the queen of the poison pen…now down on your knees humble servant and bow to the Queen!
BC…”All in all a pleasant outing..despite a little light on the vendors…and the football fans”
TRUTH: It was a nice weekend at the craft fair…the quality of the vendors was the best I’ve seen in years…Howard Allen Productions does a great job and makes it all look easy because they do all the work from soup to nuts while the Chamber just collects a check.
BC…Porta potties…porta potties…smells political…
TRUTH: BC should stop blowing this ridiculous story up…and have her boy Dodd call town hall on Monday to get the facts. Nobody in their right mind would require 47 porta potties for Christmas-by-the-Sea…BC is just trying to smear the town administration again.
By the way, since there is not going to be any big downtown party…I guess the Chamber won’t be needing he $7,000 lbts taxpayer bailout after all. Hmmmmmmm….
BC…”the first December regular commission meeting usually held on the 2nd tuesday is being put off to accommodate the vacationing Vice-Mayor?
TRUTH: The December meetings have always been flexible because it is a one-meeting month…and usually held somewhere in the middle…BC’s fixation on everything McIntee….must be something special there!
BC…”the masterplan steering committee for Dec. 15 was cancelled to accommodate the vacationing vice-mayor and CIC Christmas party…which would leave the Masterplan and P&Z board without a quorum…
TRUTH: Oh really? The CIC Christmas party is on Sunday, the 14th…..the same day the McIntees return from their vacation…Where DOES BC get her up-to-date information…all of the above stuff?…nevermind! By-the-way…BC should not be expecting an invitation!
BC…”Commissioner Silverstone has an agenda item to buy another property for the town…right behind the new McIntee Public Safety Complex…
TRUTH: I WILL STAY IT AGAIN…DODD, CLOTTEY, MCINTEE, AND SILVERSTONE VOTED TO BUY THE AIA PROPERTY..not just McIntee…IN-CREDIBLE!
Secondly…this is not a good time to be bringing up buying more property after a the recent purchase….I hope Jim has a good reason for doing this!
More to come…

BC says “Ran into many neighbors…and Commissioner Dodd after I met up with Commissioner Clottey… we both walked over to say hello to VFD Chief Perkins.. sitting on the park bench in the square…
Would BC even know how to just have a friendly “Hello” conversation with the Chief? Don’t think so! Doesn’t the Chief have the right to sit and enjoy a Sunday afternoon without being interrogated? BC should go to the VFD Office for her interrogations.
Everyone knows Dodd’s a puppet of BC just by his performances on the dais initiated by BC.
Clottey will be looked upon as another puppet if she continues to be seen in public with BC and follows BC . Clottey’s performance on the dais will be watched carefully by the people who supported her in her election and let’s hope there are no puppet strings attached to Clottey.
November 24, 2008 at 9:39 pm
What happened to privacy law for medical records? Even President elect Obama had refused to release his medical records. Why is BC prying into the medical records of VFD members? Could BC be breaking the law?
Would BC like any past family medical history either Physical or Mental info released? Not likely. Then why would anyone go there?
How about a Before and After Photo ?
November 25, 2008 at 5:24 am
The “INSIDER” is a wonderful way to respond to the slime and trash put out by BC.
If all the citizens knew the real truth about BC they would wash out their eyes for having contaminated them by reading lies and distortions of fact that BC has continuously been printing.
BC’s pretense of being your friend and offering information is nothing short of disgusting.
BC’s Rabbi would never approve of the way BC is behaving if BC has one.
Our little town does not need an individual who’s main goal is to use every means possible to have BSO again replace out VFD.
Have you noticed how frequently BC “Slams” the VFD?
It is unfortunate the truth is not better known. If this were posssible, BC would tuck BC’s tail between BC’s legs and get out of town.
Some day soon the facts will be known and BC and Dodd can join their BSO friends and associates. At least the residents who love LBTS will no longer be taken in. The BS by BC can not endure much longer.
We will not be defeated! We have loved and protected this little town before and we will do it again.

BC…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP, November 24, 2008
BC…”Here’s the scoop…Christmas by the Sea…the Brainchild…the Backers”
TRUTH: This is a legitimate piece basically because someone else wrote it!
BC…”updates…10 years of lbts arts and craft fairs…update from Judy S, Chamber of Commerce…
TRUTH: It is gratifying the Judy must be reading this site and felt compelled to correct for the record who brought Howard Allen productions to town. What is even more interesting is that JS did so on BC’s website and has recently sent out flyers from the Chamber asking for advertisers for the Futures paper. We all know it seems the Chamber is a political animal but now the proof is in black and white. Will volunteers be wearing old-guard campaign stickers on their t-shirts at this year’s Christmas-by-the-Sea again???
“Bill D. had the brilliant idea to offer the parking lot to our Chamber members at a reduced cost compared to what Howard Allen charges”
TRUTH: I wonder if all the Chamber businesses were notified about that…could have been… I don’t know cause don’t receive a Chamber newsletter. I hope things have improved down there at the Chamber and that possible payola and politics might be coming to an end… and all town businesses will start being treated fairly…but I have my doubts since Chamber Judy S is using BC to get her message out YIKES JUDY…VERY BAD MOVE!!
BC…”Many at the Arts and Crafts fair were glum hearing about no Christmas by the Sea festivities…just a simple tree lighting ceremony”.
TRUTH: The problem with Christmas by the Sea is the Chamber of Commerce and nobody else…next year maybe they’ll get their act together, raise some donations and cut out the pork.
BC… “What’s up with the Anglin monument…was this another case of staff dropping the ball…this oversight needs to be addrssed…asap!
TRUTH: Yes, BC..let’s demand another oversight committee on town staff..one specifically designed to oversee monument movement.
BC…”They are lining up…yet another resident stepped forth with a name of another formidable candidate this resident hopes to inspire to run for the commission from the north end of town”
TRUTH: Oh boy… great new candidates…hey great new potential candidates… do us a favor and ask BC to be your campaign manager…for sure the other guys will win! YIKES!
BC…”re-e-mailed VFD public records request…count down to a reply…
TRUTH: Is it just me or she sounding like the most annoying broken record you’ve ever heard. Every citizen of lbts should be outraged with the ridiculous minutia she is demanding of our town employees time and energy. Have you seen her list of requirements…it would take months to organize… from a department that has been in existence for 7 weeks…shame on HER…she should be put in her place. IN-CREDIBLE!
TRUTH: The write-up on the upcoming agenda is to much to bear…more than I can handle…worse than even sitting through 6 hours of a commission meeting…torturous…saps the energy right out of a person…bores me to tears…reminds me why living in LBTS sucks…makes me want to slap somebody…anybody else feel this way? Can’t wait for the overview!?*%#@! AGH!!!!
November 25, 2008 at 10:56 am
BC is about to get a shock from the legal side of life. When you violate Hippa laws you are in big trouble. She clearly vioilated HIPPA laws by making medical statements about VFD, VM and Silverstone. What a dummy they are going to slam her on this one. Appointments being set up with state attorney to obtain legal satisfaction for this major transgression on BC part. You blew it this time and you put it in black and white with yopur name on it.
November 25, 2008 at 10:58 am
Whoever is writing the insider stuff, keep it up. GREAT GREAT GREAT BC deserves to have the truth out. Best stuff I have read in months. You go full speed, more more more.
November 25, 2008 at 7:29 pm
It has all boiled down to election night and a nail-biting wait for the results to come in. No one was overly surprised that Dodd won because everyone on both sides considered Yanni’s a weak candidate whose time was up, but we were thrilled Dodd won.
Peanuts loss to Minnet was a shock but she deserved the win, not because she was the best person for the job, but because she did what her campaign strategist told her to do and made all the right political moves. The shocker of the night was the Clottey win over Clark. Now that was a beautiful moment! Clottey had proven herself during the debates and been a very cooperative candidate to work with, her victory was the sweetest. Regardless of what has happened since, election night 2008 will be emblazoned in our hearts as one of the greatest moments in LBTS history. After 14 years of oppressive rule, we had at last found liberation.
The first order of business for the new Commission would be to pick the Vice-Mayor. If the choice is gauged on who deserves the position, most would agree it would have to be given to Jerry McIntee. As a novice commissioner, he came in as a maverick and a reformer and for two years, relentlessly chipped away at the old-guard’s credibility. However, the little splinter group had other ideas.
Just before the election, Wick and Clottey had been approached to try to cut a deal on the vice-mayor position if they should win. The idea was to give the position to Stuart Dodd. When the trio did not find any traction for Dodd with the other candidates, they made a hail Mary play to Commissioner Silverstone asking if he would take the vice-mayor position instead of Jerry, an offer Silverstone would not even dignify with an answer. The little group was called on this deal, admitting it, and tried to make it out as if they were doing a favor for Jerry McIntee.
Unfortunately, not even a great victory on election night could dampen the enthusiam for “payback” to begin in earnest. BC’s new website became increasingly negative in tone. She started doing publicly what she had been doing privately for months and that was going after the McIntees, MacMillans, Furths, and the CIC. But why? All used to be former friends of BC and welcomed her, as a newcomer, into their individual worlds. Perhaps some kind of switch gets flicked in some people where today’s friends eventually become tomorrow’s enemies?
With the election over and the new-guard now in charge, they had to hit the ground running. Not only did they have to get busy righting the wrongs of old-guard decisions, but somebody had to jump in and get the ball rolling on the town Easter event which was just a few weeks away.
The Furths, CIC, Vice-Mayor McIntee, and the VFD took on the task and ended up doing a beautiful job of making Easter-by-the-Sea a memorable event. However, no sooner was that project put to bed than the July 4th town event had to be put on the front burner. The Furths again decided to help put it on along with Chairs, Commissioners Clottey and Dodd and the July 4th Committee.
For Mark and Christie Furth working with Dodd and Clottey on the 4th was like instant deja vu of campaign 2008 all over again. They basically got stuck doing all the work, Mark especially. Thank God for Peggy from Aruba who took care of food and drink, Mark C. from the VFD who handled the parade, and Jerry S. who got the ball rolling on donations. They knew what they were doing but everything else had to be built by scratch and quickly.
Again, Dodd did not seem to contribute all that much time or energy to the cause. He was busy at work and took another vacation a week before the event without even making a call to see how everything was going. He seems to be a kind of super-delegator who takes pride in having a title but gets others to do all the ‘donkey work and ‘minutia’ as he likes to call it. But, if you’re a volunteer, that kind of hands-off leadership gets old real fast.
The July 4th beach blast turned out to be an unqualified success, however, sharing victories and successes with Dodd for very long was not something you could count on. Five days after the last face to face July 4th Committee meeting, Dodd dropped a bombshell that stunned and shocked his support base and started driving a stake into the heart of the new-guard’s 2008 victory, and this insider is convinced it had been part of a greater plan all along.
November 25, 2008 at 9:10 pm
The Chamber of Commerce has had a “Free ride” like no other for a small town like ours. Few people know they receive the building they are in plus maintainance and have had this “Sweetheart deal” for as long as anyone can remember.
So what again you say? So…the building and property on which it sits is owned by all the citizens of our town, it is not just for the use of the Chamber.
So What? The “WHAT” is worth an estimated $110,000.00 per year. In addition they come before the Commission asking for more money and they have received it. Usually this has been an additionel $35,000.00 that is teken from the citizens that could be used for a project that would be visable, useful, and benefictual to all the residents not just a hand full of special interest business people.
Presently, the Chamber is bemoaning the fact that the Commission is reluctant to give them an additional $7,000.00 for Christmas tree expenses., what ever that means.
The VFD installs the large tree and decorates it…or at least that is the way it has been handled in the past when the VFD was supported by everyone by deeds not words.
Another thing, who are the local members of the Chamber of Commerce?
How many members are from out of town? In case of restaurants and Motels isn’t that drawing business away from town restaurants and Motels? Of course it is!
In the final analysis we, the local taxpaayers, are helping the Chamber “Back Stab” our local Motels and Restaurants in addition to Flower Shops and various competing businesses.
Under the “Parker Dynasty,” the Commission was donating an additional $35,000.00 per year to the Chamber. (I understand this has been reduced slightly to $27,500.00 per year for this year only.)
To view this very conservatively…Building, Parking, Maintance $110,000.00 per year. $27,500.00 Donation. $7,000.00 Christmas Tree set-up. (Whatever)
Wasn’t there another $7,000.00 prior to this???
I Wouldn’t want to be guilty of commiting a BS
I can hardly wait to see the response from someone in the Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Chamber of Commerce. I hope they understand I have only touched the most minute aspect of the Chamber situation., there is more, much more, YES, MUCH MORE!
Please do not mis-understand I, like so many others, appreciate the CoC and am glad they are here., it’s just that they must become self sustaining or close the doors and give the citizens back their building. Perhaps the Post Office would be interested in renting this central location complete with parking. WOW! NO! Make that “Double WOW!”
November 26, 2008 at 2:46 am
HO HO HO ! ‘Tis the season to be jolly. FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA ! But obviously not for BC! Is the Grinch who stole Christmas living in town? Now the Christmas tree in town is all wrong and nothing seems right about it! BC says “The tree…not so good…big gaps of lights…may have been well intentioned …but hardly pfofessional decorating…at its best…will there be a do over today?”…
Well My friends and neighbors say “THANK YOU VFD and please continue to make our Christmas tree in the square a tradition of LBTS. The VFD putting up the tree every year is always a jolly, happy time ,except for one chronic complainer who apparently is not able to experience the spirit of Christmas. It’s a pleasure to watch and feel the excitement of the season as each branch is added. Thank you again. May God Bless all of you. The VFd members do share the true meaning of Christmas.
May PEACE be in LBTS.

PROFESSIONAL VS. VOLUNTEER…
Wriiten by BC
What happened?…The word sent to BCbythesea…the VFD was to install the Town Christmas Tree…with a professional company hired to do the decorating…we hear the electrician was a no-show…(was it the town contracted electrician?)….and the VFD jumped into action…put up the lights…the decorations…and lit the tree…
Was it a helpful assist?…or…was it over the line…stepping on the Chamber’s lined- up professionals?…
As the VFD firetrucks were pulling away around 6:45…with the Vice Mayor as driver…in street clothes…a question …is there regulation attire?
The tree…not so good…big gaps of no lights…may have been well intentioned…but hardly professional decorating….at its best…will there be a do over today?…
REPLY FORM THE VM I guess the VM was correct how can this women say something so bad about men doing for free a tree..The bottom line is VM is correct,,sad day lady so please do not call someone a liar when you said it..Dodd control your women they are making you look very weak and you have seal the deal you have flip and please look up building permit as the other lawyer told you…Clottey is strong and will not voted because Dodd and Bc told her to a great lady who only speak her mind and not what is told by BC..a stand up lady who should be the next Mayor..not taking sides..go Clottey
November 26, 2008 at 12:27 pm
BC you got called out at meeting tonight everyone is going to know how you abuse the town employees. You attack the VFD for putting a tree up for free. Save the Chamber about 5,000 dollars from the cost paid previously. you are a hopeless malcontent who just is bitter and mean. Everyone is getting you figured out. The guy you sat with tonight is almost as loved as you are. Birds of a feather stick topether. BC all those harassment request are going to be posted and all will see what a fool you are. Dodd is sinking with you and he looks stupid.
November 26, 2008 at 7:37 pm
BC’s true colors are showing. One heck of a meeting yesterday and all she can write about is how much of a bully McIntee is?
Once being an friend of BC’s and knowing BC like I do, food for thought. It must be asked “Who is the bigger bully McIntee or BC?”
If you look at what BC’sis writing all you read is how she is bullying McIntee with her words! She is doing the same thing she is accusing McIntee for doing, but she is worst because she uses lies and spins to do her bullying.
It is so apparently clear she must really think she and only she got Dodd elected and now thinks she can get who ever she wants in. She is not writing town “news” but writing a future campaign platform.
For the sake of this town I hope its for her new buddy Fleashman as that would seal the deal of not giving him any chance, AND they are made for each other. If BC is thinking about running herself, I really hope BC runs. Nothing could make many people happier. BC will then become a public figure and then BC can me made to be held accountable for her words although BC cannot deny the lying words she has already put in print and will exist forever!
November 26, 2008 at 7:48 pm
BC…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP, Novemeber 26, 2008
BC…”Walter’s words to live by”…not only do we have a right to know, we have a duty to know what our government is doing in our name…if there is critism to be made today it is that the press isn’t doing enough to put the pressure on the government to provide information”
TRUTH: Good statement but has nothing to do with what BC is doing…she is not the “press”…she is completely personal opinion…and all negative if it doesn’t agree with her skewed perspective of life…Calling her website news is like calling the Jerry Springer show Shakespeare theatre.
BC…”They’re back…the McFurths BTST…their goose was not cooked…more to come unfortunately from the new incarnation of the Mc-Furth BTST”
TRUTH: The BTST is the only well-respected paper in LBTS and will continue to be inspite of BC’s childish jealous streak…by the way…what did the Times ever do to BC…except one thing…when Editor John MacMillan wrote an article entitled betrayal about how Dodd stabbed his supporters in the back undoubtedly at BC’s request….such scorched earth…Dodd slung the first handful with his nasty article in the pelican and on bc’s site…everything could have gone along fine but Dodd went public…you play you pay.
BC…”Scoop around town”…What happened…the VFD to install christmas tree…proessionals hired to do the decorating…electrician was a no-show…VFD jumped into action…was it helpful…or was it over the line…stepping on Chambers lined-up professionals…
TRUTH: Let me start with IN-CREDIBLE!!!…how could even A crazy person find fault when all those volunteers spend a whole day giving their time and energy…to the good cause of putting up the downtown Christmas tree…then jump in and help when the paid guys don’t show up…thereby saving somebody thousands of dollars$$. Wasn’t the submitted tree cost around $5,000.00 ?…beyond incredible…RI-DICULOUS!
BC…”Vice-Mayor…in sreet clothes…a question..is there regulation attire”..
ANSWER: Of course there is regulation attire for installing a Christmas tree…you must be weating a black boots, black belt, white gloves, a long white beard…and a pointy red hat with a pom pom on the end…absolutely reguired!
BC…”The tree not so good…big gaps of lights..may have been well-intentioned by hardly professional decorating…at best…will there be a do-over today”
TRUTH: Does this kind of constant whinning make you shake your head too?…and she calls her site news…it is whine-fest…this is no good…that is no good…this is not right…that is not right…even decorating a Christmas tree gets put down…but simply because of who did it and for no other reason..if the Chamber had done it or the Futures…it would have been the prettiest tree she’s every seen…kudos…professionally done…love those no-light gaps…adds character!
BC..”Numbers not adding up…VFD monthly report..etc..etc..etc..
TRUTH: To this woman the VFD numbers will never have a chance of adding up…once again…Dodd parrots BC from the dais…just think about it…a person with an embittered attitude like our little friend totally in control of one commisioner and very influential over another commissioner while working on the Mayor…You think Mayor Par—was bad…at least he had some intelligence and stability…this is a warning…new-guard has seen the damage one person can do…old-guard…beware…look this gift-horse in the mouth…before you buy it…that was the one thing we neglected to do and look what happened.
BC…”its is time for 1-term McIntee to go”…60-70 public record requests from none other than BC herself?
TRUTH: Lets see if that is true…I want to see a complete accounting of her requests since the beginning of the year from the VFD and town Hall. I also then want to see a full accounting of hours put into satisfying that number of requests..and I want that calculated by the hourly rate of workers who had to research, sort, copy, and package all those requests…and then I want a subsequent bill submitted to BC to refund the taxpayers of this town who don’t appreciate that she uses the information to attack the same people who spent our tax dollars satisfying her demand…and I want BC to hire more employees to do the work that is not getting done because of her insatiable demands…I want it…I want it…I want it…
DAY ONE AND COUNTING!
BC…”future’s editor michael arker comes to the podium…looking for an appeal…on site plan extention for Coral key…an embarassment of mcPayback ensued…calling the permit stamp a scam…
TRUTH: IN-CREDIBILITY GAP ALERT! In another of a seemingly endless series of BC/dodd flip flopping…Future’s Editor, Michael A—can now do no wrong…but he did! He has no intention of ever building a thing in the town…his lawyer was a disaster and couldn’t score a single point..good fit for his client…this project was approved in 2006 and has run out of extentions…they went to to Broward County on the last day of the second extention and got an applicaton stamp for a permit..not an actual permit!
Dodd and Minnet were playing politics voting to give him a 3rd extention…proved OUT when the Buena Visa attorney said that in Ft. Lauderdale code…a foundation permit is not in any way considered a building permit which is for a horizontal structure…CLOTTEY, SILVERSTONE, AND MCINTEE were right…they voted based on the facts not based on politics.
BC..”Buena Vista exension…this one goes much better because the applicant is an unknown to the Vice-Mayor”
TRUTH: please readers say it with me…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP!!!! Do you need any further evidence that “you know who’s” website was created for one reason and one reason only…to launch a witchhunt against people she does not like…every news item is twisted and spews forth negativity into the community…case in point…
The Buena Vista attorney and representative were the difference between night and day compared with Arker’s presentation…they were professional, respectful, negotiable..and asking for an extention 6 months in advance as compared to Arker who’s second extension ended in July…But, mysteriously… she tries to use this to attack McIntee too…Readers you might agree with me that somebody might be in dire need of complete bedrest!
BC…”the mayor subject to the Mc-Attack once more…
Truth…No mention of Minnet’s political strategist coming up to the podium, given his chance go explain his side of the story, and instead…launches into an attack on the Vice-Mayor…which should have been shut down immediately by the Mayor but wasn’t…no mention of the strategist lying by saying he has been involved in every town event including Halloween…and no mention in BC’s blog how Commissioner Clottey…was the one to shut Mr. Art—down and hard…telling him to stop right now and sit down…this meeting is over! Remember readers, if you think you are getting your daily news from this woman or the futures paper…think again! You are only getting political propaganda…may be entertaining…if you like reading garbage…
November 27, 2008 at 8:42 am
BC lies lies lies, BC Christmas tree is ugly,volunteers did terrible job, volunteers did a great job, mean lies. BC puts medical info on blog HIPPA law, now taken down, that one is not over yet. BC says 47 potties to have and event, lie lie pants on fire lie. BC tells how great Ark is BC use to hate ARk he tried to throw her out of meeting in past. BC lies just continue on and on and on. BC seems to have lost all semblance of rationality BC is in the opinion of many a NUT case. BC supports Minnet on greenfest, not a word about private bank accounts or political events using town money BC is a ZERO
November 27, 2008 at 8:44 am
KUDOS TO THE INSIDER WRTER QUALITY STUFF AND VERY ENTERTAINING. KEEP UP TH GREAT WORK.
November 27, 2008 at 11:04 am
BC writes.”Resident and Future’s Editor Michael Arker comes to the podium…along with his lawyer… and a history with McIntee of bad blood…looking for an appeal on his site plan extension for Coral Key…When advised by Arker’s counsel to “deliberate under the rules of law”…”
Truth: McIntee, Silverstone and Clottey did exactly what Arker’s attorney advised and that was to “deliberate under the rules of the law” Thanks for the advice Attorney W. Our Town Attorney Abbott advised that a building permit needed to be issued by the town and Arker did not have a building permit issued by the town before his extensions ran out. The process started in 2006!
You would think Arker’s attorney was in charge of the Quasi Judicial hearing. He tried to prevent Board of Adjustment member from even testifying. Thank you Vice Mayor McIntee for stepping in and making sure the BOA member had his rights protected! The BOA member was actually a nail in the coffin when Arker’s attorney thought he could outsmart the BOA member but it was Arker’s Attorney who was out smarted by the BOA member who spoke of his own impressive credentials earlier in the meeting. The attorney asked the BOA member to look at the “exbibit” before him. The attorney asked what was written on that document. He asked the BOA member if it said permit number and the knowledgeable BOA member related that the permit number is merely a reference number which is used to follow the project through the process. Sorry Mr.Attorney! You did not look good! Nothing was even signed off !
BC , what happened to the engineering degree Commissioner Dodd said he holds? He certainly looked as though he had no idea about a foundation permit or a building permit. It was so good to hear the Buena Vista attorney clarify matters for Dodd. Dodd looked miserable and his actions appeared to make him look incompetent up there.
Won’t waste anyone’s time on Minnet’s comments. Everyone knows where she stands!
November 27, 2008 at 11:10 am
What happened to bc’s comments on Commissioner Clottey. What happened Bc? Commissioner Clottey has proven by her words and actions on the dais last night that Clottey will honor the “WILL OF THE PEOPLE” and NOT the will of BC.
November 27, 2008 at 11:24 am
Kudos to Commissioner Clottey. What a great Commission meeting. Clottey spoke up and made the point that citizens were not concerned that BSO was not lifeguards but criticized VFD for not being lifeguards.
Citizens have spoken out publicly that the BSO firetruck arrived at EMS calls and citizens want the same service given by the VFD as the BSO.
How about Greenfest Bc? A little light on your information! Mayor says she had info at last meeting. Not quite True. When she was asked how much cash there was in the Greenfest account, she started to answer and stopped dead in her tracks. She said she could not say how much cash was in the Greenfest account because she did not have the bank account in front of her!
Arthur says he appeared at meeting last night but complained he should have been elsewhere with his family. Why didn’t he show up 2 weks ago when the Greenfest accounting was on the agenda and he could have been wherever he wanted last evening instead of putting his foot in his mouth.

The Insider, Part XI Swiftboating and Sausage Notes
The bombshell came in the form of an e-mail to the CIC Board of Directors. Stuart now wanted to suspend his membership and no longer be associated with the CIC organization. If you recall an earlier Insider point…there was no difference between the CIC Board of Directors and the Dodd campaign. Dodd’s cold e-mail resignation sent a shockwave through those who had sacrificed so much personally and through the CIC to get him elected and especially the Furths who had been working for a full year on both the Dodd campaign and the July 4th event, which he chaired.
Six months after the election and five days after the last face to face July 4th meeting Stuart had apparently gotten all that he needed. All who had worked for his successes and victories were dumped, just like that. No phone call, even to this day, no discussion, no warning, no explanation, no respect, and no heart. People used up for a year and simply discarded as if they were yesterday’s newspaper.
In retrospect and in this insider’s mind Dodd’s resignation turned out to be just one more calculated move by the trio to inflict damage on those they continued to harbor a grudge against since the campaign, this one particularly targeted at the CIC power base.
If people are hell-bent on extracting revenge there is little you can do about it. When those same people turn so completely against the very ideals that brought everyone together in the first place and given blood, sweat, and tears to uphold…anybody would feel deeply betrayed. When BC publicly attacks someone’s character, their reputation, their personal life, and their integrity on a daily basis, month after month, they feel angry and abused and when the dream of everything worked for and gained starts to fall apart, what else can you do but just throw your hands up in the air and say politics suck!
Much has happened since that day in July when Dodd said ado to his supporters. It will be obvious to most that he is changing camps and will now be an old-guard kind of guy. They got him cheap too, the CIC paid for his election and then BC handed him over for free on a silver platter.
There is really nothing you can do when a commissioner turns. Without deep unshakeable values and loyalty these type of commissioners are vulnerable and easily seduced by the opposition with a kind word or promise of political support (as we have seen so many times in the recent past). They lack the healthy humility required to reach out to their former allies and supporters to make peace. They remain divided and never make the attempt to bridge the gap created by their defection, using their time on the dais to foster more divisiveness, mistrust, and unrest in the community.
It is really up to readers of these blogs to decide what to believe. Most of us already come with a predisposition one way or the other and that’s normal. Every election will have many interesting stories emebedded with in but this insider’s story would never have been told if not in defense of the swift-boat attack BC launched in her sausage notes. Remember, swift-boating is a deliberate attempt to smear someone’s reputation by twisting something honorable into something dishonorable, and that is what she tried to do with the successful efforts of the MacMillans, McIntees, Furths, and the CIC during Election 2008.
Everything written in the Insider series has been the truth, and yet, still only another perspective, another version of events. It became a necessity to start building a line, a forum where victims of swift-boating could stand up to speak out and challenge the lies and distortions being spread about them. The line to have one’s reputation restored in the community started here and with you for simply reading my story.

BC…”The tree not so good…big gaps of lights..may have been well-intentioned by hardly professional decorating…at best…will there be a do-over today”
The above was a example of BC’s mean spirited comments to try and further her agenda of dislike for the Furth’s, McIntee’s, MacMillan’s, Silverstone, Ester Colon and so on and so on and so on…
BC should never ever be critical of anyone elses decorating abilities. Why? You may well ask, well I have been in her apartment, and I believe the best way to describe it is for you, is if to try and envision a ten year old kid going to a couple of “Dollar Stores” and spending $300.00 on cheap jungle items that nobody else wanted and glued these blantly cheap imatation plants all over her walls. It is so bad you at first feel think someone is playing a joke on you and then you realize how pathetic it is and feel sorry for her, but when some jokester quips, “why its a painforest” the room errupts into laughter, leaving BC with, “What was that, oh yes, you noticed its a “rainforest” how observant you are! Just like her nutsy reporting, is her nutsy decor.

The dais was talking about a person that was requesting so many public records request and he was going to get the numbers..then BC jump up
and scream liar made a fool out of her self,i guess she must be the guilty one..over heard her screaming at Clottey on Break..Clottey should run for Mayor she is not like Dodd. Bc says to Dodd jump okay how high..Bc tells Dodd to vote for Arker over heard before the meeting and Dodd did this..but before he voted yes, he said this was not what I ran on but what is fair is fair..What is a building Permit?? she is making you look foolish at the meeting and your new friend Fleshman I remember when you hated him..But whats new the ticket you ran on was a lie just like your web site is full of lies..she starting to delete items,,but guess what we are all keeping them!!!
November 28, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Most people go on Vacation to have fun.I really think BC has a very bad
issue I think she needs medical Help.Why would you go away and sit on your lap top and do the same thing you do at home.Get a life lady
November 28, 2008 at 8:51 pm
I really think it is wrong if Dodd is releasing his papers to BC on Medical
Calls with personal information.The town should release this information with out address and names to the public. Dodd is releasing information to his Mgr
bc to do his home work. I do not think that a sitting Comm should
release information with out going through public request and the town can delete names and address..He should be a shamed of his self.
November 28, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Is it just me or does anyone else think BC’s obsession with the vm is crossing into something that perhaps he and his wife should be concerned about? I am not surprised she shouted back at him during Comm.’s comments . She has no self control in print or in public hence my concern for their safety. I know the VM’s law enforcement background but he is dealing with a nut case . Her hatred is wide spread but there is something very troubling about her fixation with the VM.
November 29, 2008 at 5:34 am
BC your favorite paper the future got slammed by your AF hero. He set the record straight to your lies. BC the VM did a good deed and it is killing you, he helped rescue a woman. The lies of the futures are right in your column with your lies. BC you are on a path for complete destruction. DOdd is following both of you are supporting the Futures.
November 29, 2008 at 8:14 am
BC says”Of course any public requests will be met with “attacks or witch hunts”..by the Vice Mayor…no doubt…
The truth of the matter is that more and more people are becoming aware of BC”s demand for so many “Freedom of Request information” from the town staff . Bc is wasting valuble taxpayer money. Bc will be hearing from more and more citizens letting Bc know they don’t like Bc’s wasteful FOIA Tactics. The VM will appear mild compared to the complaints BC will hear from taxpayers!
November 29, 2008 at 8:46 pm
The “Insider ” series was fair and very easy to read ,unlike BC’s partial sentences, incomplete thoughts and cutesy words like Yikes! It was a relief to read the more balanced account of the last election because it gives the reader a better understanding of Dodd’ actions since becoming a commisioner. He is lazy,wants citizen boards to do his dirty work and he has no firm stand on any issue with the exception of always harassing the VFD.Dodd is spending way too much time discussing the VFD,not the VM as has been aledged. The town should hire a part time clerk to help the VFD with all the added work Dodd and BC are heaping on them. But of course we all know a certain retired diplomat is pulling the strings behind Dodd’s back.No one loves to gather info more than the afore mentioned diplomat. When Dodd says he has done his homework, he is really saying BC and JT have been busy digging up stuff for him.
November 30, 2008 at 7:41 am
BC is SCREAMING for attention! I was at the commission meeting when the VM mentioned helping to get an individual back into bed. No name was used. No date was used. No address was used to pinpoint the individual. To call this a HIPPA violation is similar to saying that BC is a nice person.
BC is the one who should be worried about a knock on her door for violating HIPPA and putting in print personal facts about other people’s medical history. Since when is mentioning to help someone get back in bed considered discussing a medical condition?
November 30, 2008 at 7:56 am
BC is screaming for attention. Her latest attack on the Vice Mayor shows the desperation in her actions. Could BC be on the brink? Anyone who has read BC’s blog in the last three months has seen an individual who appears to have a parinoid and compulsive disorder. I’m Looking forward to the Vice mayor publicly exposing the outrageous actions BC has taken to generate volumes of work for town employees . BC continues to demand frivloue research from town employees for the sole purpose of attacking the Vice Mayor. This is nothing more than a tool to pursue her personal vendetta against the hard working Vice Mayor.

I have been an attorney for 45 years, now retired and living in LBTS. For 11 of those years I worked as a State Prosecutor and later entered into a very successful Criminal Law Practice. I am going to give the Vice Mayor some free advice because I like his “Maverick” and honest approach. Although he is blunt and crude at times, it is quite obvious that he is sincere in attempting to do the right thing for our town. Vice Mayor, please take what I am about to say as serious. I have been following BC’S blog for several months and it is spiraling into a far more aggressive communication than most normal people would generate. Vice Mayor, it is my personal opinion that you could potentially be in danger from this person. We all know th term “going postal.” If anyone is a candidate for that action. it appears it could be BC. Here is my professional advice of 45 years of legal experience in the Criminal Justice Field: Go to the State Attorney’s Office and obtain an Order of Protection keeping her 1,000 feet away from you at all times. Your personal safety is in much more danger than I think you realize.

BC…IN-CREDIBILITY GAP, November 29, 2008
Sorry everyone…needed a little break from anything BC and really enjoyed the couple of days off..unfortuntely, stinkers never rest…even on vacation or holidays… so there’s a little catching up to do!
BC… Black Tuesday…watched the tape of the dais members…see what you have become…you all sit up there to listen to those who come in front of you”
TRUTH: Since throwing the CIC and his campaign funders and friends under the bus, Dodd acts as if they no longer exist and even goes out of his way to hassle them from the dais…fair and balanced?
BC…”to wave your hands at someone…their 30 years of experience…and tell anyone I don’t want to hear from you…i am regrettably saddened”
TRUTH: Oh you mean the republican strategist who ran campaigns for the old-guard for the last 12 years, and when he got his chance to stand up and explain the Greenfest debacle immediately launched into unjustified attacks on the Vice-Mayor, which Minnet stood silent for against decorum code…and then the guy started lying saying he had been involved in every lbts event for over a decade but couldn’t name one? Clottey was the star of the night for telling him to shut up and sit down!
BC..”I was a backer…who stood behind many of you…took the “slapp”was subjected to incomprehensible disregard …worked hard for your success…what happened?”
TRUTH…What planet is she from?…I’m glad BC noted the slapp site…unfortunately, she is mistaken…she was never a backer…rather a fair-weather friend who some could construe used other people with respectability to climb over on her way to the top???? If this the top, somebody must have started pretty darn low!
BC…”take the time this Thanksgiving to decide how you want to return to the dais on Monday…hoping it is to make amends…to those who supported you in your political endeavor…
TRUTH: UH OH…Clottey, BC is sending you a message…she actually thinks that candidates are suppose to remain loyal and respectful to those who got them elected…hasn’t she ever heard of the infamous Doddgate…you know the one who wrote pledged integrity and will of the people all over his campaign propaganda…Once you’re in, everybody else is out…do whatever you want…now writing for the Futures!…integrity and loyalty be damned…and by the way who did BC ever get elected!
BC…”We made the papers…oops..no hayrides this Christmas…somebody didn’t get the message…lbts christmas by the sea is not to be”
TRUTH: somebody at the Chamber of Commerce forgot to tell everyone in a timely manner that they were dumping Christmas by the sea because they didn’t get the $12,000 from the town to subsidize a business event…that’s what you get for letting the Chamber take on lbts community events….if the Furths had been in charge this lbts tradition would not have been unceremoniously dumped and lbts kids and families would be having fun riding on haywagons and singing Christmas carols…the Chamber is a a big LBTS Scrouge!
BC…”Here’s the scoop…VFD..follow thet ambulance”
TRUTH…pages and pages of emergency response calls from the VFD and AMR since they took over on Oct. 1..and not a kind word about any of it from BC…what a -itch!…
BC…”VFD…heart medication…heart problems…recent health problems…high blood pressure…medical problems…EKG…
TRUTH…IN-CREDIBLE! Let’s hope Chief Perkins has finally learned his lesson and no longer speaks to BC…which is good advice for anyone involved with lbts…and the reasons are obvious…she now pokes her nose into people’s medical issues…I thought looking in people’s windows and reporting on their sleeping and eating habits had gone over the edge…WOW! YIKES!
BC…”Here’s the Scoop…where do I sign up…a petition to keep McIntee out of my home…violated hippa laws”
TRUTH: Was it violating hippa laws to speak of a beach rescue of a drowning woman over and over again with no mention of anyone’s name…the answer is NO!…DUH!…same situation with the gentleman mentioned from the dais…NO Name, No address…No Hippa violation…
BC…”Petition is said to be in the works”
TRUTH: yeah, right…nice try…doubt it…you wish…somebody has been talking with her little friends again!
BC…”No mcIntee in my house”
TRUTH…I agree..please McIntee and everybody… if her condo penthouse should catch on fire should we all sit on the beach roasting marshmallowslets watching the flames?
BC…Making our wishes known…officially…that the VFD is not allowed in our home for AMR medical calls…
TRUTH: If the VFD needs to break through a locked door to get AMR to me…I want them there…as was the protocol with BSO for years…now what is BC causing…every emergency ambulance call to have to sort through a roster to see who does and doesn’t want the VFD to accompany a call…oh that will shave down the response times…this woman’s interference in critical matters where it doesn’t belong is IN-CREDIBILe.
BC…”the need for VFD trucks to follow AMR are unnecessary”
TRUTH: like I said, who does she think she is????
BC…”All this sent to Chief Perkins, Town Attorney, Dan Abbott, Town Manager, Esther Colon, AMR, Brooke Liddle”
TRUTH: Demands, demands, demands…this is not normal folks…like JT on triple steroids…wasting our town employee’s valuable time…blaming it all on McIntee again because he told a story about the VFD trying to do a good deed…I know she must have been confering her little invisible public safety friends to come up with the idea of an official form for her family to sign to prohibit the VFD from coming onto her property in case anyone needs medical attention….from the ridiculous to the INCREDULOUS!
More to come….

Truth: Bc herself is most likely to be the number one site hitter!
Truth: Bc’s calling her family” BCbythesea family” shows you the control she takes over her family. Don’t believe BC family would want to suffer consequences if Bc family crossed controlling BC.
November 30, 2008 at 10:24 pm
BC says”we laughed,we winced, at the bad grammar and we could easily figure out who was posting…
Truth; Typical BC, laugh at others. BC fails to realize that some posts on slap site are sent in by the ordinary citizens who are fed up with BC’s hate and demands and are not edited.
Truth: Bc should be the last to criticize anyone about grammar.
Bc believes positive posts about BC never make it on slap site.
Truth: Bc is dreaming if she even thinks 2 positive posts have ever been sent to the slap site. Positive comments about BC have not happened!
December 1, 2008 at 12:42 pm
AH–HA—HA—HA—We”re glad to learn BC is reading the “Insider” by her own admission. She writes about the “Insider” in her blog yet again denies that she visits the slap site. Maybe Bc will learn to tell the truth.
December 1, 2008 at 12:54 pm
SlapBC notes that a public figure has to put up with a number of statements that are not true or unfounded but when family members are discussed and attacked without facts that protection evaporates and it puts the writer of untruths in great legal jeopardy. The courts have held the threshold for public firgures is much higher than that of a private citizen. Consider this your warning.
December 1, 2008 at 1:02 pm
It would appear that BC’s obsession for the Vice Mayor does not end when she is on vaction 1,000 miles away. BC’s latest post rambles on without cohesiveness or rational. It is sad that BC cannot stay away from evil tendencies to always attack the VM even while on vacation.
December 1, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Slap BC has heard that a Reverand and his wife have told BC they do not like what she is writng. It is hurting the town. BC has made it clear that it does not matter. Bc continues to ignore their concerns and continues to write negative, negative, negative. Typical BC.

December 2, 2008 at 5:13 am
Slap BC is the best way to get the truth out. BC shows no integrity and continues to spew forth lies and half truth’s in an effort to try to destroy the VFD and slant untruth’s about the VM.
This obsession with the VM is beginning to show her true feelings and one begins to wonder if this is not something more than dislike of the VM. Perhaps an attempt to hide true affection? Not impossible! Stranger things have happened in this little town.
The more BC tries to harm the VM the more it appears she cares for him and is making an effort to cover up her true feelings. This entry was sent in by an avid reader and not edited.

BC writes ” somewhat toned down…”slugfest”…despite Comm. Dodd’s attempt to avoida repeat…of the Greenfest”Gotcha Mayor”…round2…
In reference to the Greenfest— BC’s puppet ,Dodd admitted it was wrong for Mayor Minnet to allow a non-resident ,non govermental official to open a town bank account using one’s own Social Security number. Donation checks by citizens, lobbyists and businesses made out to Lauderdale- By -the- Sea were deposited and dipursed with sole knowledge of Minnet and her former campaign manager. Minnet has not turned in bank statements and the town manager says she cannot figure out money figures until Minnet hands in all statements yet Dodd reported that it cost the town $232. How can Dodd come up with this figure if minnet doesn’t know the firgures and the town manager cannot firure out numbers without proper documentation? How come BC did not report any of this info in your ‘Gotch mayor” round 2?
December 2, 2008 at 11:07 am
BC writes about deflecting from a VFD oversight instead of getting to the bottom of Greenfest. BC is so intent on hurting the VFD that she had to put the VFD oversight in the equation when it was not even on the agenda this evening or even discussed at all. Many people are beginning to see that BC has major, major problems.
BC seems to accuse Silverstone of bringing in 100 coupons of straw votes on the doggy beach. Bc better do more research before she once again accuses innocent people of unfounded accusations. It was Ron who brought in the coupons at one time. The same Ron who back stabbed Dodd in the past and now the two are best buddies.
December 2, 2008 at 11:21 am
BC makes claim that the town manager..”not very professional”
Did BC miss the mayor’s not very professional approach to the truth? The mayor kept repeating she had turned in all paperwork for the Greenfest. Time and time again the Mayor was corrected and told she did not turn in bank information requested weeks ago. The mayor finally admitted that SHE WOULD TURN IN in the BANK STATEMENTS but SHE COULD NOT SAY WHEN. The Greenfest was then tabled until January and hopefully all Greenfest info will be turned in by then…not very professional, mayor. Please Bc tell the whole story.

Why wont Cole, Dodd and Minnet answer a simple question of why they defended Arker on the definition of “Building Permit”?
Google it and you will find the definition is very clear and matches what the other attorney said. It can’t be confused with a foundation permit!
This is an outrage!!!!
Cole, Dodd and Minnet want to ask tough questions, but cant answer any? Why are they covering up for Arker and Arthur? I want to know!! I remember when Cole despised Arker and caused her problems with a board she she got thrown off on and had to hire a lawyer and McIntee was one who stood up for her. What the hell is going on here?

Here’s The Scoop LBTS Commission Meeting #3….Getting Their Licks In…
December 2, 2008 by Barbara
CONTINUATION….IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD….
Continue they did…at 4 pm on Monday 12/1/08…slightly less loud…but no less nasty..personal…with many gunning for those sitting up there beside them …pointing fingers……shaking heads…scooting forward and back in their chairs…and making statements and accusations…that dashed any hope for decorum…implored from those on and off the dais…
GOTTA BE TALKING ABOUT HER SELF!!! NO ONE MAKES MORE OF A RUCKUS THEN HER.
The Vice Mayor and Comm. Silverstone…along with the Manager gave it to the Mayor…in Greenfest round 2… ..with the questions on her accounting information…and non-stop badgering…from the Vice Mayor…you know…the guy who provides no answers for his VFD involvements……..Comm. Silverstone…trying to make us all believe he made no accusations in round 1…..again mum on his own VFD inquiries…HMMM…in the VFD
SPOKE TO SILVERSTONE AND HE NEVER RECEIVED ANY SUCH INQUIRIES.
meeting minutes…moving $50 thousand… asking for it ….without the required vote……
HE ALSO SAID THIS WAS NOT TRUE THEY DID VOTE.
and the the look of disbelief on the Mayor’s face when …the Manager played her part in the “tag team”…that look could not be faked…
MORE PERSONAL BASELESS AND FALSE OPINIONS
The Vice Mayor/Comm Silverstone and Comm. Clottey were aiming for the Mayor…for she has “done things” in their eyes…no matter if it was intentional or unintentional…legal or not…allowable…practiced previously by others…or just new territory…never questioned before……
HOW I WISH MCINTEE DID THE SAME THING. WE ALL KNOW WHAT BC WOULD’VE DONE.
Where does she conduct business…Is it in town?…Is it allowed in town?….How does she introduce herself..as a business owner/resident…or does she include Mayor?…Can she include Mayor?…On a business card can it include that she is Mayor Minnet?…apparently not…as asserted by the Town Atty. for the evening….But did that get her business…who knows?…Should she be denied the right to do business in the town…while an elected official?…apparently not…said the Town Atty. for the night…but no matter…if we are going to try and have a referendum on “2 Hats”…let’s include the Mayor…in some capacity…HUH?…
HUH IS RIGHT WHAT IS HER POINT?
The Vice Mayor / Comm. Silverstone…are aiming for Comm. Dodd…for so many reasons…personal and not…his oversight request…his VFD/ Beach Patrol/AMR questions…his referendum requests…heights…and especially tonight’s “2 Hats”…his assertions of a double standard within Town Hall from the Town Manager.. lamely finding little ground to stand on…
THIS IS SCARY AS SHE BELIEVES SHE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON IN OTHER PEOPLES MINDS.
Silverstone smirked when asking what “employees” meant to Dodd…when addressing the referendum…Dodd proposed…….saying it did not apply to anyone on the present dais…(this “buys” into the Vice Mayor’s assertions that he and Silverstone “have not taken a dime”….so they are untouchable)
THIS IS SO WRONG – DODD SAID IF IT TOOK EFFECT NOW IT WOULD INCLUDE THOSE 2!
…and McIntee…”glommed on ” to his use of “laughingstock”…sidestepping the issue of conflict of interest……saying he would be calling Tallahassee today to find out what was said…by whom…deflecting yet again…..
Come on …..finding “probable cause” is not finding nothing…and the Ethics Commission in Tallahassee found “probable cause” for both the Vice Mayor and Comm. Silverstone…period!…(previous post)…
SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY OR CARE TO UNDERSTAND ISSUES BEFORE SHE WRITES ABOUT THEM. I ALSO READ IT AND PROBABLE CAUSE STATES IT APPEARS THEY MAY HAVE ENOUGH TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO AND DROP IT. IF THEY BELIEVED A LAW WAS IN FACT BROKEN THEY MUST TAKE IT FURTHER. THIS BEING THE FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS AND THEY FOUND IT UNNECESSARY TO GO ANY FURTHER. THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT AND THE TOWN ATTORNEY REAFFIRMED THE SAME LAST NIGHT.
They were recipients of a slap on the wrist with parting words of caution…not to “go there again”…Have they?…We will probably find out…as it is said more charges are being looked into…”laughingstock” or not….
THEY ARE NOT GETTING PAID ANYTHING, PERIOD.
Any “tradition” of VFD serving both on the dais and in the department…is a moot point…with the abuse of that tradition…coming from these two presently serving…as previously posted….when the Vice Mayor and Comm. Silverstone took their seats as new Commissioners in 2006…they knew they were violating their own VFD By-laws…that state no VFD officers may hold elected office…
ANOTHER ISSUE SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT. THE VFD WAS NOT CONTRACTED WITH THE TOWN AND THEREFORE NOT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OF THE TOWN BUT AS A DEPARTMENT UNDER BSO. IF THEY WERE A COUNTY COMMISSIONER THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE.
they were elected VFD Chief and Deputy Chief 2 months prior to their winning their seats on the Commission….and they would not have voluntarily stepped down on their own at any time……if the Town had not enacted the VFD’s removal ….
The Town Manager…was aiming at the Mayor and Comm. Dodd…talking audit…and subpoenas…no special treatment …insisting she did not say what he said she had…saying Comm. Dodd was asking her speak off the record…without saying what his subject matter was…..implying something underhanded on his part… DIDN’T THINK THAT BUT SHE MAY HAVE A POINT ON THIS – SHE WOULD KNOW.
31 years of service are all fine and well…but as Town Manager …..it is less than 2…… not answering to the residents public records…picking and choosing what to inform the Commission of…certain Commissioners….it still appears loud and clear……and only if they “ask the right question”…showing up in her “arena”…the lack of hiring the most qualified department heads…and the dais theatrics…still require scrutiny…by those you work for…the citizens of this town…including the Mayor and Comm. Dodd…
NOW THIS IS ONE FEMALE IS THAT IS SO JEALOUS OF ANOTHER IT SMELLS ALL THE WAY AROUND.
Commissioner Dodd…is after the Vice Mayor and Comm. Silverstone…to stop…stop the attacks…stop wearing the “2 hats”…stop their incessant tabling of items…to get back on track…(no wonder they fight him so hard)…LETS SEE WHO BUT WHAT ON THE AGENDA!
The Attorney sitting in for Mr Abbott…informed the battling dais…they …the firm “Don’t want to act as police….they want to interpret codes.”….well said…Mr Weiss…well said…
HE DID SAY THEY WOULD IF THEY ARE SO DIRECTED TOO AND MAYBE THEY SHOULD…
December 3, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Today we all had an opportunity to read through page after page of DRIBBLE. If BC thinks anyone is able to read through that dribblle,BC is far whackier than anyone claims. One highlight was talking about the Vice Mayor while flying home from vacation. Can you imagine, flying on a plane and thinking about the Vice Mayor? BC talking about VM and writing about VM makes it even more ridiculous. Bc is possessed with a fixation on the VM . BC please get help.
December 3, 2008 at 12:25 pm
BC, your report on the VFD firetruck is so bad an attorney could not figure out what you are saying. BC, you are experiencing severe problems with your grammar and diction. BC, please get educational help.

TRUTH: A GROUP OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN HAD GATHERED AROUND THE TREE. WOULD BC RATHER HAVE HAD A CHILD HIT BY A CAR RATHER THAN SECURE THE ROAD FOR SAFETY OF THE CITIZENS? REMEMBER THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS SAFETY. STOP CRITICIZING WHEN THANKS SHOULD BE SAID.
Once again focusing on the VM.

If you can bear to read through BC”s Commissiom Summaries–A word of caution: View the meeting from your computer on the town’s government website. It is available any day and anytime. Just hit “video” and follow directions. Choose the meeting date and you are all set. It’s easy. That way you will see and hear the truth and not believe BC’s one-sided ,lop-sided reporting, always favoring Dodd and her once despised ,now great buddy ,Mayor Minnet.
The truth hurts and she just can’t print it if it is against her buddies.

Christmas Lighting …By The Sea…Dec. 2, 2008…
Walking up…El Mar Drive..Post and thou shall receive…previous post before Thanksgiving …asking about the Anglin monument still in front of the Minto development site…it is now where it belongs…front and center in El Prado Park…..NICE!…
—BC ACTUALLY THINKS BC HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT! BIG EGO TAKING CREDIT FOR THE SIGN, CRAZY TALK.–
Arriving at the Chamber tree lighting ceremony…approximately 6:40 pm…quite a let down from the previous events…not too many attendees…
—-MAYBE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CHAMBER CANCELING IT AT THE LAST MINUTE.
.although the tree was looking better…still some gaps in the lighting…but Dave Gadsby said the “tree fluffer” was there ….Bill Davis said the tree was showing its age…with the salt air…
–I THINK BILL WAS TAKING ABOUT WHO HE WAS TALKING TOO
The Vice Mayor was wearing his VFD “hat”….radio in hand…driving the fire truck…. putting up caution tape…due to the traffic still flowing…and the late arrival of BSO…too bad …..not quite the festive holiday touch we desired….really needed the roads free and clear…all around the square…
—-THANKS VICE MAYOR AND THE VFD FOR DOING SOMETHING AND HELPING OUT AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE!!!
Families were lined up…for snapshots with Santa….(Commissioner Silverstone)
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER!!!
including a few buxom blondes…with Chamber Vice President Guy Contrada ….introducing Mayor Minnet…who spoke briefly…with words of Holiday wishes…acknowledging her fellow Commissioners in attendance……and asking all to remember our enlisted men and women…then leading the countdown to officially light up the town square Christmas tree…
—NO ONE COULD HEAR HER, THANKS FOR THE LOW VOLUME!!
The crowd that was there ….were mostly those who come every year and participate and run the Chamber event…they came to show their support….all were friendly and a little subdued…in the chilly night air…with talk of next year…being discussed here and there…
—SOUNDS LIKE THEN THEY HAD A GOOD CROWD!!!! WHICH IS IT??
Ate dinner with a group of friends at Aruba…enjoying the best cobb salads around…by far…along with great burgers…..fresh tuna ….. expresso martinis…and tiramisu……
—–BAD PR FOR ARUBAS —- SEE BOYCOTT ON ANYTHING BC PROMOTES—.
Outside back in the cold…it was truly sad to see the Village Grille’s ….outdoor musicians…playing to the empty sidewalk seating….and an empty town square…all before 10 pm….all the stores were closed down…way too cold for t-shirts…and bathing suits…especially when no customers in sight…..there was quite a lot of revenue was lost by our LBTS establishments this night…
—-BECAUSE OF THE CHAMBER !!!
A brief stop by Athena…guess code enforcement is out to stop a little extra Christmas lighting cheer…by asking them to take down the lighting that is on the trees in the right of way…HUH?…Come on…it’s Christmas…let them have the lights…and the penguins…just like last year…no Grinch’s allowed…
—-ONLY GRINCH AROUND WAS BC—-

Truth: BC refused to enter the home of Tom Carr because BC did not like the words spoken by Tom. Would you say that was hypocritical ?
It seems it was also Tom, who BC criticized so harshly in her previous post regarding him being a VFD Volunteer while divulging private medical history. In simple terms, BC’s own words and actions prove she is a phoney and not credible.
December 4, 2008 at 7:43 am
BC reports that she hears an email was send to Dodd regarding a submission in BTST. Does Dodd have to advise BC on every aspect of his life? Looks like BC is the SIXTH COMMISSIONER!
No need for BC to submit a Freedom of Information request. Dodd provides BC with whatever!
December 4, 2008 at 9:27 am
BC Says “she hears”… Are those the little voices again? Nobody is so concerned about the Beach Patrol like BC is. It is a huge success. Recently a Condo Board sent a letter of thanks to the Town Manager for the Beach Patrol in our town . Why doesn’t BC report the good things happening in our Town instead of always reporting the bad and the negative? Again proof is in the pudding. Bc displays much hate.

Bc talks about political suicide in local papers. Is BC the one who advised Commissioner Dodd to write in the future paper? Talk about political suicide! The majority of the citizens are furious about it.
Here is a direct BC quote that has been circulated through town . “I admit that I read all the news that is published about this town, but unfortunately all too often the developer’s rag proves time and time again that the old adage”all the news that’s fit to print”, should be adhered to no matter what your agenda is! I have a hard time with the idae that a “reporter” will write a story without even being there to witness it. The same can be said for those who eagerly offered up their comments after hearing them second, third or even fourth hand…”
Dodd has praised the future paper and given Kudos to this same paper BC has called the “developer’s rag”. BC has flip-flopped and has promoted those individuals who are associated with the paper she called the “developer’s rag.”
BC now writes stories without even being present to witness them. Something BC condemned others for doing. BC said …”no matter what you agenda is!…” BC appears to have her own agenda now.
December 4, 2008 at 7:36 pm
BC, appears to be a most selfish person, lacking personal management skills. BC made the decision to write a public blog regarding the business of a public entity with a main goal of attacking VM McIntee at every opportunity. This will only lead to anger and hatred on all sides and for what? BC has no answer to this because there is none. BC is riding a wave made for her and it appears BC will crash hard. Knowing how to manage BC better, BC would have thought out the decision to which BC has no control over.
The carrot to get BC on this ride was the attention BC has become so addicted too. BC was easy prey for the ones who know how to manage their needs.
The question BC needed to asked was “Will the energy needed to write this blog , primarily regarding the affairs of a town, result in doing some good or is it done for other reasons? Knowing the words BC has written, are forever preserved for easy recall. It is now clear, BC has done this for the most selfish reasons as no good has or can be a result.
It seems only BC’s selfish needs will be met and those needs need constant feeding which will lead to even greater anger and hatred until the inevitable hard reality crash.

WILL FRIDAY BRING BACK THE Mc-Furth “slap”-BTSTIMES?….
BCbythesea…hears an e-mail was sent to Commissioner Dodd…giving him only today to write up a submission…and informing him they do not want to print the article he sent out to all 3 local publications…recently printed by the Futures…
So…will advertisers in these hard times want to invest in ads if the Furths proceed to put out a repeat Mc-”slap”-edition …full of Mc-staff writers?…
So….will Commissioners want to be included in a paper with unnamed “slap”- writers?…Wouldn’t this be political suicide?
So…will readers …who already report they are sickened by the Mc-pal dais behavior…and the “slap” site Mc-writing…read it…or toss it aside?….
Guess we will see if the new owners….the Furths ..follow down the Mc-”slap”…payback path…or decide to break away…any bets?…
more to come….
How can BC say this..look at BC’s own name calling web site.
Is BC any better writing her own nasty remarks..BC look at what you
write ,how can BC even think that BC’s site is not crap..I guess BC is better
than all..of course BC thinks she knows everything…BC’s site is the crap

I am eagerly awaitng my issue of By the Sea Times to finally read information that is true and with class Bythe sea Times is long overdue thanks to the new staff and honest writers
December 5, 2008 at 11:35 am
BC is so off the wall that Bc is now providing an itinerary of the Vice Mayor’s family vacation. How outrageous! Invading this man’s family privacy is far beyond what any public official so have to accept. BC has created a scenario for a potential burgalry of the Vice Mayor’s house and if that should occur, it will rest solely on the shoulders of BC. Bc is going to find out that this time there will be a consequence for Bc’s action. Bc will soon realize that no one will accept jeopodizing a man’s castle to justify BC’s vengenance and hate for that man. It seems BC is near the mental breaking point by such bizarre actions as this No one will think this is fumny or cute.
December 6, 2008 at 5:47 am
Well BC your worst fears have come true. By The Sea Times is back and looks fantastic. This will be another source to refute BC’s hate and lies. Don’t forget to especially look at the picture page which proudly displays members of the VFD who assembled and decorated the Christmas without any compensation but gave the SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS to our Town citizens. These are the same VFD men and women you constanly harrass. Does that make you feel good BC?
December 6, 2008 at 6:00 am
BC let’s bring your attention to one of the greatest articles written in By the Sea Times. Commissioner Clottey’s comments clearly puts BC in BC’s place. Commissioner Clottey is not supporting any of BC’s ridiculous demands regarding the VFD, town zoning , Oversaight or The height limit. Commissioner Clottey clearly explains the ridiculos unfounded complaints made to ISO againstt the VFD by BC’s cohorts. One unfounded complaint being the VFD was using garden hoses to fight fires! It looks like BC is finding herself in a rowboat with one oar. You know what that means!
December 6, 2008 at 6:07 am
Bc is know a full blown supporter of developers in LBTS. She now expects the Town Commission to break the law to give the developers their way.
December 6, 2008 at 6:44 am
BC How does it feel to get “slapped” by Commissioner Clottey?
“Slapbc” doesn’t have to do it, Clottey did it on her own. BC, I bet it really stung!
December 6, 2008 at 6:53 am
BC’s complete disclosure of the Vice Mayor’s vacation has created work for Chief Gooding. A consultation with the State Attorney will be requested to determine what direction and actions the Vice Mayor will be taking. Could a stalker complaint be in the future?
December 6, 2008 at 10:31 am
Very cool story about the surveillance camers in the by the sea times today. I had heard about them but had no idea they were up and running. Also think it is great that people anywhere will be able to tune into the Lauderdale by the Sea website to watch the beach action. I’ve seen alot of resort areas have that. Our town is kind of old-fashoned and high-tech at the same time which is a good combination.
December 6, 2008 at 10:56 am
There will probably be alot of new readers on slap since an ad came out in the by-the-Sea Times. I wonder if they will know what the heck is going on except that there are a lot of angry people at someone with the initials BC and that BC seems overly obsessed with the Vice Mayor. All I can tell you is that I wouldn’t want to be BC and have a whole website dedicated to giving me a hard time, but BC seems to be saying “bring it on”! What kind of a person wants to live in a self-destructive world like that? Is BC a person?
December 6, 2008 at 11:20 am
BC it would appear your power over Clotty is over. Clotty sees your hate and bias have overpowered your common sense, Clotty is to classy a woman to be associated with you anymore. BC is trouble and all are beginning tor realize that now. Dodd better wake up or he will find himself in a row boat with one oar to.
December 6, 2008 at 12:11 pm
I attended a town meeting in November. I sat in the first row but I had trouble hearing anyone on the dais. Throughout the meeting BC snickered, sighed and openly chatted with Mrs. D. I turned around and signaled them to be quiet resulting in more laugher. Bc’S's behavior was incredibly rude. I sent an email to Mayor Minnet requesting she use her gavel to quiet the disrespectful audience in the future. I have tuned into two more meetings but I see that they continue to be a free for all. This egregious BAD behavior really needs to stop.

Good words of advice for BC…Try to find a little grain of imperfection in yourself instead of concentrating on the mountain in the other. For it is only your own unhealthy grain of untruth that robs you of peace and never the mountain of wrong in the other person.
December 7, 2008 at 3:35 am
Dear Readers,
The truth has finally arrived. Some people who are no so politcal savvy oftentimes hear stories that are flat out lies . This site is set up so you will read the truth. Many lies have been spread which hurt the reputations of many good citizens and “slapbc” wants to set the record straight , denouncing many untruths out there. It has been asked, “Who is Bc?” Please read the introduction of slapbc:”IT BEGINS” for a better understanding of this site and the truths which are be printed here. Also click on ‘MAIN PAGE”" for further explanations of this site. By no means is there any intention of Violence. Violence will not appear here, only truth. The dictionary meaning of “slap” means to refute with WORDS. Again, Slapbc is NOT violent. Please write your truthful comments . Leave the name and email blank unless you want your name printed. Thanks for supporting the TRUTH.
December 7, 2008 at 9:03 am
We love your slap site. You tell the truth in a few words and it is easily understood. The truth alawys triumphs. In the case of BC, Bc spends thousands of words telling lie after lie. Thank you for your site . People are seeing that BC is nothing more than a disruptive and negative source in our beautiful little town. I must admit I used to read hBC’s site but I can no longer tolerate page after page of negativity and hate. The continual and unabridged attacks against the VIce Mayor show a side of BC that is very dark and confusing. This was the final nail in the coffinn for reading BC’s blog. I hope and pray the Vice Mayor is in no physical danger but a person who expresses this kind of compulsion toward one individual is a “loose Cannon” in my opinion.
December 7, 2008 at 9:09 am
Thank God there are places like slapbc and the Times where people can counteract the venom BC puts out into our community. Even though BC is only one person remember, all it takes is a suitcase size weapon of mass destruction to wipe out a small city, and BC’s seeming Jihad against Jerry McIntee could put us all in dire danger. many innocent citizens could be harmed if we are not strong and stand up to these attacks. They are unjustified, the Town is running just fine and does not deserve what feels mean-spirited cruelty.
December 7, 2008 at 9:11 am
BC ‘s latest blog had to take hBC hours. Too bad nobody will read it. A quick scrutiny of the blog amazingly shows one item missing. Not one word in BC’s blog about Commissioner Clotty going against all the demands made by BC. Demands which BC expectd the Commission to follow.. Isn’t it strange, Bc thought BC had control of Commissioner Clotty but when one reads Commissioner Clotty’s Commissioner Comments in By The Sea Times, Clotty clearly shows that BC in NOT in control of Clotty.
December 7, 2008 at 9:21 am
BC lies again. All the Commissioners knew the cameras were here. Chief Gooding treats all Commissioners fairly. Ask The Chief a question and he will give you the answer. If any Commissioner did not know about the surveillance camers, then that Commissioner did not do his homework. Bc just creates stoies out of the blue. BC must be talking to those little people again.
December 7, 2008 at 10:45 am
Thank You By The Sea Times. It pays to advertise in your paper. Slap site has had an unbelievable amount of hits in one day. Record breaking 361.
December 7, 2008 at 10:51 am
Hey Bc if you are such a town crusader for justice and the Americam way, why have you not mentioned one word about Mayor Minnet and the GreenGate Fiasco? Could it be you are prejudicial against the Vice Mayor and not Mayor Minnet?t Tell me BC if the Vice mayor did not turn over important documents he promised to the town, what would you say then? How fast would you attack the Vice mayor?
December 7, 2008 at 11:02 am
BC what are you going to do now that Commissioner Clotty has asserted herself in By The Sea Times and her comments definitely show she is distancing herself from you? Dodd will soon distance himself from you too. It is clear Dodd has survival instincts and when they kick in , you will see , you are not in that chapter of his biography. Oh, guess you will have one commissioner to stand by you and that only one will be Minnet . You remember when minnet was Chair of the Planning and Zoning Board when you were thrown off and the Vice Mayor stood up for you. Minnet showed you NO SUPPORT!
December 7, 2008 at 6:05 pm
What is BC’s problem? BC said the Furth household was manic and chaotic while they were running the campaigns. That comment is off the wall and BC should be ashamed. Everything the Furths do is top-notch from campaigns to town-events, and now the by the sea times.
We are fortunate to have two citizens with so many talents willing to offer to the town. They never ask for anything for themselves and could make alot of money if they pushed for beachfront development but they don’t. They fight against it and they do it for most of us.
I think BC must be jealous of people who do good and are admired for it.
December 8, 2008 at 10:56 am
Just passed BC’s website to a friend to get a load of what BC is saying and this friend was shocked at the level of hatred and vengence being put out. I think the average person will be equally stunned, especially if they read back though the last 4 months or BC’s “opinions” and her complete flip flop to the old-guard slash and burn propaganda tactics.

BC has a problem with reality. Everyone in town wants BC out of here, and BC just doesn’t care how people feel. BC must see a doctor soon BC needs help.
December 8, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Does anyone want to guess how many times BC drives by the VM ‘s house in the next week? BC might be seen by the extra BSO patrols that are now needed because of BC’s blabbing. BC is obviously missing him so much she can’t help herself. Sooooo sad.
December 8, 2008 at 11:44 pm
It would be a waste to let the writings of BC fade away, she or someone else, should take all she has done and write a book on it. The theme would have to be the anti “How to Win Friends & Influence People” by Dale Carnegie.
Therefore, BC’s new book should be titled “How to loose Friends and Infuriate People.

You have planned a vacation for many weeks to get away and forget the trivial back stabbing of one BC. How nice to forget the half truths and lies that were not ever well intentioned., and all of a sudden you find that your travel plans are exposed to all on the Internet under the banner of BC.
WHY? What does this accomplish other than cause the BSO to have to monitor the home of Vice Mayor McIntee as the times dates etc. are ripe pickins for anyone who would care to burgularise their home.
How would you feel? Would you want you vacation plans exoposed in such a manner? I would not. There was no purpose except mean, heated, disgusting exposure . Nothing constructive can be made of this action by BC. BC is not to be trusted!

I don’t think most people realize what genuine political flip floppers Dodd and BC have become. They started out rallying against anything and everything old-guard… development, BSO, the Futures paper, Michael Ar—, Roseann Minnet, overlay districts. They fought for term limits, height limits, and the VFD. Dodd signed on as chair of the recall Parker Committee and BC poured money into the CIC treasury.
They appeared to be genuinely in agreement with CIC values and that is why the CIC put all their financial resources and manpower behind Dodd.
Today, 9 months later, Dodd has taken the money and trust, not only the CIC members but those who voted for him because he was CIC-endorsed, completely reversed course on all his campaign promises and run off with BC to the land of the old-guard style of dictatorship.
He has thrown us all under the bus but in his mind, he thinks we threw him under the bus, which is crazy! The true new-guard’s values haven’t changed…it is Dodd and BC who have changed…a true new-guard soul would never write for or promote the lies printed in the Futures or take the right away from citizens to decide future development issues.
Dodd is not political material, he lacks core values of his own and is way too easily manipulated by BC who has BC’s own agenda to to be in control rather than look out for the best interest of the town. With Dodd, we’ve ended up with a skinny version of Oliver Parker.
December 10, 2008 at 5:28 am
There seems to be a rumor that BC is intentionally spreading nasty rumors wherever she goes. People who attended the Chamber Christmas tree lighting ceremony reported that BC was putting down the VFD, saying they were boycotting Athena’s and the Village Grille among other untruths. BC is a walking propaganda machine and BC’s list of “former friends” is growing daily. People don’t even want to be seen talking to BC, the town gossip.

Hannah, we apologize for not writing your full name and glad you let us know you would prefer to sign your posts. You bring up an important point, especially for new readers.
When you go to leave a reply, there is also a box asking for name, mail, and website. This field can be left completely blank and the post will automatically come up as anonymous. We, at slapbcbythesea have no idea who sent it or from where it was sent.
Hannah, sometimes people filled out the boxes thinking it was required to make a comment but not wanting their names necessarily posted, that’s why we were careful with yours.
So, readers remember you can post 3 ways. 1). type your name into the “name” box if you want it to accompany your comment. 2) Type a ficticious name into the name box. and it will be printed with your comment 3) Leave box empty and post as “anonymous”.
Happy posting!

If BC hasn’t gotten the word by now she is less intellegent than the average person. It should be clear to her that she can no longer fool some people into believing she has inside information that is not available to any other citizen of LBTS.
A good question that can be asked is WHY?…Why is BC so afraid of the truth? Why is BC doing this?, What good would it serve to again destroy the people’s preference of having our VFD?
In the brief period that BSO had our fire suppression service we lost at least two million dollars that could have better been spent on capital improvements.
Not everyone in this little town is wealthy. BC apparently has no problem paying many hundreds of dollars for BSO. This is sacrificing nothing and in fact the VFD is equally as well qualified as is BSO and the VFD is always prepared to go the extra mile for their neighbors.
BC would have you believe we are placing ourselves in danger to save money., this is totally and completely untrue. As a resident for almost 40 years I can assure you our present VFD is better prepared today than at any time in the past.
BC has a hatred for VM McIntee for some unfounded reason and continually subjects him to unfounded accusations and blatent lies.
If you could see proof of the VM’s background and training you would realize that he is equally as well trained and qualified as any member of BSO. It is astounding to read of his qualifications and special recognition over a period of 25 years.
You on;y have to ask yourself one question? Prior to the election of Jim Silverstone and Jerry McIntee there was a period of more than ten years when the residents had no control over what our local government decided for us. Since their election we now have our present and future in our own hands.
You can be proud of what has been accomplished since Jim and Jerry were seated on the dias, I know I am and my neighbors feel the same.
Let BC and others publish lies and distortions, half truths, and “Garbage.”
We are fortunaste to have our By-The-Sea-Times up and running once again. You can read the truth there as our long time neighbors Marc and Cristie are the new owners and publishers.
Support Marc and Cristie and our local businesses. They need our support and we owe them that much.
December 11, 2008 at 3:59 am
It was a relief to see BY the Sea times and their new owners did a fantastic job they are the true watch dogs and not a pitbull like BC These are two people who give to this town for the love of it. I am so grateful for people like the furths and the mcgang who give of themselves willingly and lovingly. bc does not care for this town she is a selfdestructive ,evil person who should should wake up and take time to enjoy the view of beautiful LBTS
December 11, 2008 at 4:38 am
BC the word is several business’s are furious you advertised in your blog. They are getting many patrons who are telling them if she is supported by BC they will not freguent their business. BC now you are huritng the poor businesses in town dont yoiu get it the majority of this town hates a turn coat and mean spirited person, wake up you are personna non grata in this town. This is not the little people talking BC.

We know BC secretly kept notes of her ex friends

We know she printed a private e MAIL WITHOUIT PERMISSION BREAKING THE LAWl
We know BC has admitted looking into the windows of citizens houses and telling who was in those rooms publicly ( stalker )
We know BC controls Comm Dodd
We know BC abusesd the staff of town hall
We know BC knows more then town manager
We know BC knows more then town attorney
We know BC knows more then fire chief.
WE know BC knows more about all, she is just a genius on all subjects
WE know BC left several colleges never got a degree
WE know BC writing are some of the poorest examples of prose to pen anyojn could ever read.
WE know theat BC is stalking the VM
We know that BC is obsessed with VM and finally BC is just about the perfect candidate for medical help.

BC puts the VFD meeting minutes on her website , how desperate is BC is for something to print? I bet we do not get the Chamber BOD meeting minutes even though we (taxpayers) keep them afloat. But of course BC is presently is sucking up to the chamber politicos big time. The VM is with his lovely wife on vacation and BC is counting the days until his return. Sad sooooo sad. Hasn’t BC’s husband gotten wise to this attention she so blatantly bestows on the VM?

I’ve been taking a sabatical from reading BC’s blog and let me tell you it does wonders to get the heck out of BC’s Tasmanian whirlwind. Your head starts to settle, you start thinking about the spirit of the holidays, and your family and friends. The sun even starts peeking through the clouds again!
Thinking back over the last year, the only bad things that happened in LBTS in 2008 were the treasonous acts of BC and Dodd. It seems clear that they have decided to betray their people and joined the enemy camp from which they now launch attacks against their former allies…the CIC, the VFD, AMR, McIntee and Silverstone, by the sea Times.
This is what is causing all the dissention that still continues on. It basically boils down to these two people and an act of treason, defined as betrayal of one’s country to the enemy. That is how the former supporters of Dodd feel about him.
December 12, 2008 at 11:42 pm
BC fails to make readers believe that Mayor Minnet’s Greenfest is diversion from anything! Greenfest is an issue and the Mayor is accountable as chairen for the event. Even Dodd agreed that it is WRONG for a Non-Resident, Non town official(appointed by chairman, Minnet) to open a town of LBTS BANK ACCOUNT using a personal social security number!!!!!!! Have the promised Greenfest bank documentaions been turned over to town manager and to allcommissioners as Minnet promised? The event took place in September. What is Minnet’s delay? No question about it from BC! BC fails to question Greenfest. Has the personally opened- Town bank account been closed? Have all donations been reported to the town so the town can acknowledge donors as is standard procedures? Monies turned over to town? Greenfest is no diversion of any sort. Greenfest reports are holding the chairman accountable for the event just like any other commissioner who has chaired a town event. No excuses.
December 13, 2008 at 3:35 am
What is BC doing,out of control..always about the VM the VFD the Town Staff..really needs to get a life..around town when coming all will run the other way.. pain in the rear…wonder why BC

BC , here’s a little dose of reality . CIC had their annual Christmas Party and attendance was close to 100 people. New members signed up and one of the main topics of interest was for non member to join. Apparently people are fed up the hate and have chosen to surround themselves with good people of the CIC organization. It is anticipated that 30 new members will be signed up to the CIC in the near future. It looks like your efforts to dissolve the CIC have backfired. Venom and hate has accomplished a dislike and distrust of you and the result of our good citizens have joined together to work for the benefit of the community and for the community unlike your own vicious objectives.

BC writes flat out flagrant lies about the alarm system in her own building. first statement ” We are essentially not prote4cted by our fire alrm… and we are sitting ducks.. due to an ineffectual.. VFD and town administration…
BC blames the town and the VFD for the alarms not being operative in her building. Fact is she even called her puppet Dodd for support and guess what Dodd had to admit all she said was lies, the town and the VFD had nothing to do with the alarms not being operative it was all the fault of Bass Corp the alarm people, Dodd called building manager and told her same. BC attacked the town and the VFD visciously blaming them for the residents of Sea Ranch bldg B living in danger with no alarms. BC has stooped so low that her lies are even taking Dodd down. She lied lied lied and it is clear it is all lies. BC hate for the VM and the VFD and the Town administration is hurting us all, please BC for the good of the town go back to Chicago, it is only a matter of time before Dodd has to dump you when you lie like this and blame the town and the VFD for making people unsafe in their condo you are way over the rainbow. Dodd wake up you cannot possible condone these actions.
December 16, 2008 at 3:32 am
Slapbc has a message for Comm. Dodd. When your best friend lies about town government and blames them, for putting peoples lives in jeopardy you have a obligation to publicly condem this action. You are a supervisor of the town government in this town. When a citizen visciously lies about the activites of that government and it can be clearly proven you as a leader must publicly condem that action. If you do not you should resign your post as a Commissioner and move on.
December 16, 2008 at 3:35 am
BC also lied about VM not responding to the email from the building manager, he was on a boat in carribbean sea, and never got e mail until hea returned. BC knew this, she told the world his house was empty inviting all to burglarize it. BC caught again mean spirited attacks on VM.
December 16, 2008 at 7:25 am
BC said,”Just Another Manic Monday…” and then writes comments referring to the VM that have nothing to do with town government. I began thinking, how could any happy individual wake up on this beautiful, sun shiny, happy holiday season morning and write, “Manic Monday” ? I went to the dictionary, looked up Manic and was even more shocked and alarmed! “Manic” sadly led to this definition: Psychiatry, a form of insanity characterized by great excitement, with or without delusions and in it’s acute stage by great violence. All I could think of was the past comments by citizens who believe that perhaps BC is stalking the VM. Bc has written great amounts of lies about the VM’s wife and has made many negative statements against her too. Perhaps his safety and the safety of his family is at risk. God forbid. Let’s hope this is not the case . And the real question remains, why the hate?
December 17, 2008 at 12:11 am
BC your pitiful response today about your lies just made you look worst. The word is Dodd is now trying to get away from you, this last lie attacking the TM and VM put him in jeopardy, now all those people who were upset with him turning are even getting more upset that he is supporting your lies. I see a
recall in the worsks the first time he makes a serious mistake. BC what you do will reflect on Dodd so if you want to keep it up please do it, this will be the final straw for Dodd. BC that silent majprioty your talking about is the rumbling of how do we get rid of Dodd. BC you have got Dodd in so much trouble that I hope th CIC demands the campaigne monies back from him, that would really be front page news.
December 17, 2008 at 12:47 pm
BC caught in lie after lie and exposed at the town commission meeting! First she clearly was lying about the town administration and the VFD being the reason the fire alarm system was not working in the Sea Ranch Building. Then she tried to give all the credit to Commissioner Dodd when in fact it was the VM who called the chief of the Broward Fire Dept. while sitting in the Sea Ranch manager’s office and the VM solved the problem. Finally it has been brought out that of the 338 Freedom of Information Requests filed , 68 were made by BC. A full 20% made by one person looking for trouble. BC claims that VM went over to SRL univited when in fact she wrote in an earlier post that VM did not answer an email sent to him by SRL. BC knew the VM could not answer the email because he was on a cruise ship—another BC lie.
December 17, 2008 at 12:53 pm
BC appears to be loosing control of Comm Dodd but Minnet’s picking up the slack. All you have to do is read BC’s blog and there will be the questions Minnet will ask.
December 17, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Dodd told the crowd that he wants meetings shorter but guess who had the most “BC Agenda” items on the agenda? “BC’s” Dodd discredited the town staff while he thinks bagels and coffee get-to-gethers will make for a nicer commission group!
December 17, 2008 at 8:09 pm
If BC stuck to the truth, BC would not contrdict her own stories. She said VM received an email from Sea Ranch Lakes and VM failed to answer it. First of all BC had told the world that VM was out of town. Then BC says that VM went over to Sea Ranch Lakes uninvited. Sea Ranch Lakes was obviously looking for his help when they sent VM an email. Lies, Lies by BC.
December 17, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Enjoyed the truth coming out at the commission meeting defeating BC’s suspicious sounding storytelling again about the VM. I’m glad VM cleared up BC’s “TAKE” on the Sentinel reporter’s” Public records request for Commissioner member travel expenses since January 2007…HMMM…” It certainly appears that BC would like the VM to look dirty spending our tax dollars when in fact the $35 charge was not billed to the town but to the VM’s own personal charge account. Nice Try BC. When do you realize there is nothing there and finally stop your vicious remarks, half truths and innuendos? All for a lousy, legitimate $35 personal credit card charge. BC looked as white as a ghost when the VM told the truth but did not mention BC’s name.
December 19, 2008 at 12:29 am
I think what Bc wrote on her web site about the vm wife protecting her husband,is so childish almost like she is in high school..grow up lady! Said to be
one of the most hated person in Town! Her and Fleishman belong together
December 19, 2008 at 3:38 am
BC is complaining the Town is enforcing the codes equally. The annexation was 8 years ago and I thought Cheroff was paid to bring both sides,north and south under one set of rules. I don’t want to see a boat trailer in my neighborhood and I’m not alone on that. BC needs to move to a trailer park and leave us alone. BC also seems to know alot about how children are treated when they don’t follow the rules in school.Judging by her actions and inability to control herself in public she must have spent alot of time in the principle’s office. Hmmmmmm.

BC rambles in her latest blog attack after attack, after attack on town employees ,especially the town manager. When will BC realize this continual birage against the town in general only cements the opinion of the vast majority of the residents of our town that BC is a destructive force in our community and is being shunned by most ,destroying any credibility that BC might have had and also destroying Commissioner Dodd.
December 19, 2008 at 12:12 pm
BC seems to be trying to stir the election pot. Dood makes a few statements about elections. BC makes a few statements about elections. It’s clear BC is telling Dodd what to say. Dodd must soon realize that everybody knows BC is telling Dodd what to say. Dodd should realize he looks and sounds like BC’s puppet. Another campaign promise broken : No independence here!
December 19, 2008 at 12:20 pm
BC’s continual attacks on the VM are getting very old. The people are beginning to rebel and are becoming more antagonistic toward BC. When the VM divulged the fact BC had told the world of his family vacation plans and when his house would be vacant , many people realized BC was endangering a family’s household no matter whose house it was. Nobody condone’s BC’s actions and the safety of the VM’s house.
December 20, 2008 at 6:44 pm
I was an observer of BC’s behavior at the last Commisson meeting. BC was incredibly rude when citizens were speaking during public comments. When Christy Furth was speaking in support of the Volunteer Fire Department, BC was snickering and guffawing quite loudly from a few rows behind. However, she did not get reprimanded by the Mayor.
BC continued the obnoxious behavior when Maureen McIntee was speaking. Mrs. McIntee, however, did stop and turn to face BC and call her on her disruptive behavior and demand that the Mayor take some action to quiet BC down. BC finally got a warning.
Later in the meeting, BC went off again on shouting from the floor when Vice Mayor McIntee was saying stuff about her but not naming her directly. By this time, she should have been escorted out by Chief Gooding as was her new friend, Fleishman earlier in the evening for his foul-mouth comments. The mayor was extremely wimpy on what to do with BC. BC should have been removed by this time.
What a bunch, I must say. Birds of a feather flock together. That is a group of nasty people that I would not want to be seen with.
December 21, 2008 at 1:27 pm
BC is turning “RAT” to one of her biggest supporters. Jonn T. has supported BC through thick and thin . This issue of BC’s favotite paper. the futures, you know , the one BC used to call a “rag” ,attacked John T. unmercifully with various untruths and innuendos. How does BC handle this? She tells eveybody to read the futures paper. BC even went so far as to post a link in her blog to the future paper. She posted it in the blog which John T. helped BC promote. BC has NO loyalty. Her world is full of hate and attack. BC again has proved her friends are nothing but fodder. Clotty and Dodd better watch out, You could be next. Any of her old friends will be next.
December 21, 2008 at 1:38 pm
BC’s rabid bite is now focusing on Commissioner Silverstone. BC continues to cross the line bringing family and private life into the public with no legitimate reason. BC’s description of Silverstone’s private life is absolutely unaccepable to be put in a public venue. Everyday more and more people are distancing themselves form BC as a result of these uncalled for personal attacks that BC keeps on making. BC we have heard from many sources that George and Karen are not supporting you in any way when you continue to make these personal attacks on government officials and town employees. It has been reported that they told you they do not approve of what you are doing and you replied that it was too bad! Typical approach of BC.
December 21, 2008 at 1:43 pm
BC’s defense of her Freedom of Information Requests fell on deaf ears. The report of the town clearly in dicted that from Jan 1st to Nov. !st there were 335 requests for individuals items. 68 were generated by BC and 69 were generated by the futures paper. This is abuse of the Freedom of Information Requests.
December 21, 2008 at 1:53 pm
BC likes to mind everyone’s business. One person we know who is fed up with BC is the town attorney. Of course in all fairness, any employee who will talk off the record is also fed up with BC. BC must realize that people are sick of her delving in to personal family lives and snooping around this town, stalking the Vice Mayor and attacking the town manager on a daily basis. There seems to be a lack of rationale of what a sane and healthy life is all about.
December 21, 2008 at 2:00 pm
BC’s continual attacks on the VM are getting old. Her latest attack that the VM stops the clock on response times for emergency calls is an absolute lie.. The clock can only be stopped by the arrival of the chief or first firetruck on the scene. So again we prove BC cretaes lies to create problems.
December 21, 2008 at 2:06 pm
One of the funniest things we read this week-end was BC being called a “journalist.” Here is writer who cannot even write a complete sentence without writing … or Yikes or HMMMMM or Ummmmm. Never heard of any such journalism!!! OF course consider the source being the same paper BC called a “rag” for years!
December 21, 2008 at 2:48 pm
BC tells half a story! BC failed to tell you that 4 out of five commissioners voted against the Athena Boys today because of safety and liability issues! It was not two broom boys! The athena boys got tabled so the town manager could work with the Dept of Transportation regarding the boys. BC forgot to tell you the” A Boys” have infringed on town property by building an illegal wall. The “A boys” displayed rude behavior.
December 21, 2008 at 2:52 pm
BC’s definition of loyalty…Throw JT to the wolves and support the futures paper. Lookout Clotty.
December 22, 2008 at 2:16 am
TYPICAL BC… SPIN, SPIN DETRACT DETRACT!
BC RATS on her once admired friend John T. John gets ripped in the Future paper with lies and BC wants you to read the Future lies at the expense of her “friend” John T. hepled BC try to destroy the CIC without success and with many lies and they talk about “honor”??? Now she is casting John T. by the wayside and can’t face the well deserved criticism for her inexcusable actions . So BC will try to backtrack ,hash and rehash lies to get your thoughts off her nasty deed toward John T. and onto other citizens who are working for the benefit of the town. Nice Try BC. Get truthful!
December 22, 2008 at 4:52 am
BC Spins and lies and spins and lies. Yes the town manager generated a a letter indicating there were 318 specific items requested within the Requests for Freedom of Information. We all see the spin here, each request contained multiple items on different topics. This is clearly indicated in a letter from the town manager which BC left out and failed to report in her statements of false accusations. You might say the crucial part of the letter was not mentioned by BC .Within those 7 requests of Freedom of Information, there were 68 specific items of information requested by BC and 69 specific items were requested by Futures paper. Bc caught again. She left out the crucial part of the letter from the town manager. BC did request 68 items of information to be investigated and answered and replies sent to BC and 69 requests of items of specific information were requested by the Futures paper. Imagine BC talking to former town attorney after all the injustices BC publicly claimed he made her suffer through! BC will go to anyone who will talk to her even to the old town attornry who she accused of telling untruths in the past. SHAME ON YOU BC! These kind of lies generated by BC need to be exposed and we thank you for allowing us to send in our comments to refute BCs lies and allow the truth to be presented.
December 22, 2008 at 5:03 am
BC tries to fluff her way out of JT being mad at her for BC’s lack of support for JT. In BC’s latest phony piece, not once does BC condemn the writer of the article in the Future paper,Cindy, her buddy, nor does she condemn the Future paper attacking JT. BC tries to play both sides. Clearly Bcs actions show Bc has no loyalty to JT or BC never would have recommened her readers to go to the Future site.
December 22, 2008 at 5:42 am
BC – Have you been leaking more sausage stories to the Future paper about your once admired friend and mentor, John t.? The paper states that Thompson wanted to run for office in 2008! WOW! The article states that JT found no support. WOW! And Jt was going to move back in town. WOW! If that is true, that seems to be the logical reason why JT would want to overthrow the CIC. WOW! Now it seems to make sense. if JT did not get support from the CIC and supporters , why would he ever support the CIC? WOW! What happenend to JTs honest ideals, principles, the sense of right and wrong: were they some how lost and now blinded by politics gone sour? WOW! How come we never heard this JT story before this? WOW!
December 22, 2008 at 6:21 am
BC’s LIES, TWISTS ANS SPINS are so numerous that one would have to spend the entire day and night at the computer straightening out those troublesome remarks. Just know that the truth is missing until it is corrected at this site.
December 22, 2008 at 6:28 am
BC says JT got the most votes from CIC members. One person who counted the votes begs to differ as had been reported. It appears to be only wishful thinking on the part of JT. BC says JT has transparency and that appears to be especially true today. Everyone is seeing right through JT for all the underhanded tactics he has used in attempt to get rid of the CIC.
December 24, 2008 at 11:20 am
BC is just a poor hopeless malcontent who can not tell the truth without spinning it, BC way. BC tried to claim she only made 7 request for freedom of information. SPIN SPIN. SLAPBC has a copy of one of those request and you may all see how one request is actually over twenty eight individual requests for specific informatiuon that are not related to each other. Not only did she ask for this info but she sent it to the town attorney, like he was her employee, what hotspa, Joke was on her, he billed town and town billed her, what a dummy. Well here it is, proof postive, BC is a liar and did make 68 specific request for information to the town.
Dated 9/19/2008 sent to town attorney for action
BC WRITES:
Thank you for the information I asked for, I require further informatin
1.Designations of VFD membership, who are the Chiefs officers for training, Lieutenants, administrators, their experience,what are they paid, yearly,hourly benefits ( in first subdivision BC has asked for 8 seperate request of info all demanding a diffferent search )
2. Which members receieve retirements, pension, when does eligibility start ( 3 individual request )
3. What are in house drills, beach training incentives, who receives them ( again 3 seperate questions )
4. Tech hours, who is tech person, what is pay, what is rate ( 3 seperate requests )
5. #710 other persons, exp.,pay, what and who ( 3 more seperate requestss but so stupid could not be understood )
6. Does town pay for commerecail storefront, what are rents, utilities,operating costs, will they continue after installed in Public safety complex. ( this is at lease 5 requests put in one )
7. Why is is Scot Fowler no longer with VFD ( who cares )
8. Who took his place ( Santa Claus )
9. Who is training ocean rescue volunteers, do they have lifeguard qualifications ( 2 requests )
While there you have one request in BC mind, for info from town, at
lease 28 different specific points of information she was looking for. If this is not harassment and abuse of this law then we all would be surprised. You now have her method and now know she is not a truth teller for sure.
December 24, 2008 at 11:34 am
Can any one read through BC’s tirades and long winded articles? About one fourth of the way, I quit and wonder who could read another word.
December 24, 2008 at 6:47 pm
JT was doomed the minute he hooked up with BC. Before that, he was known to be difficult and dull but well-respected for his intellect and dedication to CIC values.
Somehow, connecting with BC turns decent people bad. It happens because BC operates by turning people against each other…that is BC’s main objective, then BC remains in the center of power, playing people against each other.
BC does not operate on genuine positive power that contains deep core values and ideals that cannot be changed…rather BC operates from negative power. Negative power is only intersted in aggrandizing the “self”. That is why BC can switch sides so easily…whichever benefits BC in the moment. BC lacks a solid, stable core self. Most likely the result of a very unhappy childhood.
BC hooked alot of people in this Town with the “I’m your new best friend” ways such as calling you 5-7 times every day, buying dinners, sending gifts, always hanging around you.
Many of the biggest names in LBTS were sucked in by BC’s tactics but eventually saw the light…but there are still a few left with BC who are either
1. too weak and dependent on BC to leave.
2. afraid she will go on the attack against them if they blow BC off or
3. have similar negative and nasty psychological natures that just fit together.
It is so sad that BC was the end of JT’s long-standing and good reputation in LBTS. BC got JT to turn on the CIC, McIntee, Silverstone, the Furths, MacMillans, etc. within the span of two months during the election. Before that BC and JT barely knew of each other.
The only reason that JT received a high number of votes for CIC director was because he was the only nominee who sent two e-mail blasts and personal letters to the membership practically begging to be re-elected.
It was really nasty and mean-spirited what JT did to get those votes. Degrading his fellow Board members by saying they were doing back-door deals and were undemocratic. Very underhanded…I guess BC truly does bring out the worst in people!
December 24, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Knowing BC as I do, been thinking hard as to why she is acting in such a negative fashion. Why does BC chooses to ask questions in a derogatory manner by presuming those in question are guiltily until proven innocent? For example; if I wanted to know if a person has the qualifications, I would ask; please send me a list of their qualifications. BC almost always chooses to put in the context of; I heard this person is not qualified for this position, I wounder how they got this position? Who did the favor and we cannot let this stand. Then she will ask to show the proof otherwise. Which in cases I know about, has been proven wrong, but damage has been done.
This leads to the making of treads of mistrust whose fabric is now covering the entire town keeping the needed unity apart. She is being feed by people who hate they are not in control and are using her to that end.
She is too addicted to this temporary fame and can not think rational enough to know she is being used as a conduit for this hate.
The only place this can lead is to have it all crash down around her and the other who are being used to spread the hate.
December 26, 2008 at 7:43 pm
BC goes after the by the sea Times but praises the Futures! BC is asking all the tough questions about the Times, their bais, their this, their that…but all the while praises the Futures, which is the most obvious political rag possible, written by two of the most nasty personalities ever to have lived in lbts…and written by only those two. INCREDIBLE!
BC has no credibility, people, and she is worried that other people will. I hope any of you who reads BC’s nonsense will see it for what it is. A witchhunt, a grudgematch, a revenge vendetta. BC is about nothing more than that and is without any semblance of balance, please be careful.
I do seriously recommend that citizens do not communicate with BC or anyone who does because BC will wrangle information out of those contacts and twist and print IT out in her blog. It just happened to me, I was telling a friend some exciting personal news, and then that friend who is also a friend of BC passed our personal conversation right to BC, and then it showed up on the blog as a twisted attack against me.
Remember, friends of BC, BC is not your friend. You are being used and you will be dumped once you are no longer a source for BC, which will eventually happen. Unfortuantely, BC will then turn against you and start attacking you but that is the price all of us idiots have to pay for having given BC the time of day.
December 26, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Sucking up to the local retailers is all BC has left. Do we really need to know every detail on her dining out and now she buys herself a bracelet and she is so incapable of keeping this to herself she trys to make it look like a commercial for a local jewelry store. This is so sad. I would rather have heard about her volunteering at a homeless shelter but I will wait a long time for that one.
December 27, 2008 at 5:09 am

December 27, 2008 at 5:22 am
Bc’s buddy John Thompson has been clearly thrown to the wolves by BC. In BC’s recent blog, BC compliments and sings the praises of that other paper and Mark Brown. This is the same guy who John sat on a bus for 20 hours to pursue a state elections complaint generated by him against Mark Brown’s paper. Mark Brown is now a hero in BC’s blog and BC’s eyes. John Thompson is apparently of no use to Bc and has been thrown in the garbage like her other ex friends. Just the last issue of Brown’s paper, John was attacked aggressively for exercising his constitutional rights. Not one word defending John Thompson from BC. Just words praising Mark Brown. If that doesn’t tell you what kind of person BC is, Nothing will! True to BC’s MO, looks like Commissioner Dodd will be next.
December 27, 2008 at 5:37 am
BC appears so confused that when you read her recent blogs , they are running on and the grammar is an elementary level. It is unreadable. Can anybody believe BC would spend hours on Christmas Eve with continual attacks and negative untruthful accusations about our beautiful town and employees? BC may clearly show she has no respect for the Christmas Season or the Christian Faith. Christmas Eve is a day of preparation for one of the most holiest days in the Christian World.
December 27, 2008 at 8:11 am
BC is lying again! Flat out lying again! There was a drowning call at the foot of Commercial around 2 p.m. Friday and the the VFD ATV on duty respnded to the call within 3 minutes of transmission. ATV confirmed no drowning and it is confirmed BC is Lying.
December 27, 2008 at 9:05 am
BC complains” no lights on the mennorah” The wind blew it down, an act of God. Bc will probably complain God is not doing his job either!
December 27, 2008 at 9:10 am
BC would not be happy with the pavilion if it was perfect from day one. It is BC’s MO to complain about everything and anything in this town so certain commissioners do not look good even though they are doing a great job.
December 27, 2008 at 9:17 am
BC subtly accuses people with committing crimes( Pocketing $70,000.00). Unsubstantiated talk like that sometimes generates lawsuits.
December 27, 2008 at 9:33 am
BC must be talking to those little people again. The town does everything right and follows the direction of the commission and BC still projects what is lie after lie . BC was one of the instigators condemning the seagrape sidewalk project but we all know the people love the finished seagrape sidewalk project. Bc has a track record of condemn, condemn, condemn.
December 27, 2008 at 10:42 am
BC loves to see McIntee and Silverstone get the blame for anything even when they have done nothing wrong! Again BC fails to tell the truth about parking bags being removed from meters around town and at Athena’s . BC printed a letter addressed to town Manager Ms. Colon. Who gave Bc the letter?…Dodd? The letter sent to the town manager by Louis Marchelos (Athenas) blames The 2 commissioners for Athena not renewing the parking contract with the town . Wake up “A Boys-(Athena Boys) It WAS NOT Vm or Jim at fault. I just played the town commission tape and it was DODD who said,”SELLING SPACES TO BUSINESSES IS UNFAIR.” What did you not hear? Dodd was loud and clear but BC won’t tell you what she does not want you to know and hear about her puppet, Dodd. On December 20th at the recess, It was Mayor Minnet who made it clear and said”TO REMOVE ALL THE BAGS… REMOVING ALL THE BAGS IS REMOVING ALL THE BAGS.” What did you “A BOYS” NOT HEAR? The vote was 5-0 (ALL COMMISSIONERS IN FAVOR) to remove ALL BAGS ON ALL METERS ALL OVER TOWN. AND ordered the town attorney to create an ordince stating such. If you are mad at VM and Jim, find a legitimate reason. You Talk about adult behavior, did you look at the video tape of yourselves when you were out of order at the commission meeting and acted BADLY? You are taking bad advice from somebody and it looks like it’s coming from BC.
December 28, 2008 at 12:18 am
Will BC ever tell the truth and make positive statements???? TWO VFD ATVs were on Beach Patrol for several hours but BC says there were no ATVs. Another bit of misinformation reported by BC.

THOROUGH BROWARD COUNTY SEARCH ON LBTS PAVILION AND COUNTY PERMITS. BC googled Browaed County for permits and detailed information on the LBTS pavilion. Did BC google Broward county for Michael Arkers development company for permits and detailed info when his company was looking for another extension on his project? Guess BC only wants you to hear what she tells you unless you read slap site and read the truth. Arkers company never got the building permit from the authoritiesas as was required by the town and therefore could not receive another extension. But BC would like you to believe otherwise.
December 28, 2008 at 5:10 am
The VFD ATV Beach Patrol was visible for many hours today and people were loving the patrolling. VfD was on patrol yesterday too but BC says they were MIA. The citizens are not blind nor stupid and know what they see regardless of false statements.
December 28, 2008 at 5:42 am
BC is perhaps a politically and perhaps sexually frustrated individual that nmust entertain herself by trying to ingraciate herself with the high rise proponents and special interest individuals. She apparently does not seem to realize that the citizens fought for years to remove the old guard special interest crowd from ofice.
We love LBTS. like it is BC so why are you so determined to change what we have fought so hard to return to the people?
What’s in this for you? GO AWAY!
December 28, 2008 at 9:09 am
BC, how come the VFD ATV were not being attacked by you on Saturday? WE were sitting on the beach in a group of ten and witnessed the volunteers treat two young boys for jelly fish stings. The general conversation was what a great service these volunteers are giving our community. BC never seems to write about the good things the VFD does and more and more people are becoming fed up with you and your statements.
December 28, 2008 at 8:47 pm
I love the slap site and I love Lauderdale by the Sea! Thank you for creating a site to counteract the the Futures paper and BC. If it were not for slapbc and the By the Sea Times, I shudder to think what would happen to our beloved little town.
I hope all of you, whoever you are, keep up this good fight against the developers and antagonists who never seem to give up trying to gain control of lbts for their own devices. I hope more and more citizens wake up and realize that those who complain about every minor detail and a few people are a very small minority. Most of us are very pleased to have the VFD back, the developers put in their place, and a well-run town hall under the Town Manager, who especially looks after our taxdollars.
Please keep answering lies with the truth in a positive, upbeat manner. That is the way to win hearts and minds. Good always overrides bad over time! Thank you!!!!

There are confirmed reports that a major party of residents in BC’s building was being given. That party giver clearly indicated BC was not welcome. It would seem people in her own building are fed up with her now. No nod of approval to BC from there, BC’s own neighbors!
December 29, 2008 at 6:07 am
Interesting tidbit for BC to ponder: In the past two days the Volunteer Fire Department Beach Patrol has treated over 20 people for jelly-fish stings. The beaches were very crowded over the week-end and our VFD Beach Patrol has been out there assisting neighbors and tourists but no correction from BC telling the citizens what a great job the VFD Beach Patrol is doing. Remember when BC claimed the VFD Beach Patrol was not out there? Another lie.
December 29, 2008 at 6:43 am
What a difference a week makes. Last week BC aggessively just about demanded that Aruba’s alley be shut down from valet. Now this week is a completely diffent story. Talk about safety, and the A Boys. the major entrance to the beach is a walkway where thousands of young and old enter and exit the beach. To turn that walkway into a roadway for the A Boys is like playing Russian Roulette with our guests and citizens. For those of you who forgot, The girls from the diner who were thrown out by the A Boys were attacked viciously by BC for disrupting their lives. Now the A Boys are BC’s hereoes and can do no wrong! Yikes! Wow!

December 30, 2008 at 6:20 am
An acquaintance of mine who checked out slapbcbythesea.com asked who or what is BC? Since I am familiar with this, I’ll give an explanation a shot. BC has a website that BC considers news. BC reports on alot of different local issues but, more than anything, BC’s website is geared toward demeaning and attacking prominent town figures that don’t fit BC’s political agenda.
what makes this story especially interesting is that those people BC now incessantly attacks had all befriended BC over the last few years and helped BC get known in the community. Now BC has flipflopped and turned completely against them, using BC’s website as a weapon.
Adding intrique is that BC has turned one newly elected Town Commissioner against his former supporters as well. BC works very hard to get another Commissioner to follow BC too but that Commissioner seems to have a mind of her own and has become a swing vote on many important issues.
BC’s influence over these two new Commissioners is BC’s only real hope in Lauderdale by the Sea. Without them, BC is as inconsequential as BC was three years ago when no one had ever heard of BC.
BC ,doesn’t work, and seems to have little else to occupy life. She has a particular grudge against the current Vice Mayor, Jerry McIntee and will do anything to see that he is not re-elected. That would include attacking anyone and everyone who is associated with McIntee which BC has been viciously doing for months and months.
The more serious problem is that BC does not tell the truth on her blog.
BC’s personal vendetta against the Vice Mayor has mushroomed into a vendetta of lies against the entire Town Administration, which BC attacks on a daily basis. It has become so extreme that BC is now shunned almost everywhere BC goes in Town these days.
This website was created by people who felt BC’s maliciousness needed to be counteracted and the truth be told. I, personally, am glad someone did because if there is only one viewpoint out there, people will tend to believe it.
So, that in a nutshell, is what BC is. Initials are used.. I hope you keep logging on with the rest of us who trust what is written on this site.
December 30, 2008 at 11:24 am
The recent posting of BC shows the desperation in her writings. Rehashing the past is a desperate move of a sick puppy who is not getting enough attention. BC’s untruthful ranting of the past seems to show the instability of BC’s world. ANY sane person reading her latest diatribe could only come to the conclusion that it appears this person is unstable. Sentence after sentence of lies rambling on to nowhere.
December 30, 2008 at 12:01 pm
There is one constant in the ramblings of BC. BC has done a complete 180 , turning on EVERYONE BC has been associated with in the past and now BC is trying to be friends and support all those in town who BC continually disparaged , degraded and despised publicly in the past. Those for whom BC seldom had a nice word were Michael Arker, Cindy Geesey, Mark Brown, Roseann Minnett, The Athena boys and on and on and on. Does anyone really believe that BC’s new friends want any part of BC and are simply using BC for their own temporary advantage? BC is like the black sheep who has been discarded from one flock and and is desperate to be part of another flock even if that flock is one BC despised in the past. But all those sheep know BC’s ” black sheep” history and will see to it BC is segrgated for their own safety. They also know how BC has turned against her past associates with secret diaries kept clandescently, that alone desroys any hope of trust from anyone in the future.

BC is feeling the pressure. Not one word about VM in last blog. Just piles of rubbish. BC is probablly sad the party at Sea Ranch B was a great success and BC was not there. This writer was, and some people had some harsh things to say about BC. The gist of the views, was dont trust BC. BC is trouble and is nothing but a mean gossip. The people at the party all predicted BC was going to have a very lonely year, and were hoping BC would move from building.
December 31, 2008 at 9:32 am
BC TOOK THE BAIT- HOOK, LINE AND SINKER! The staff of SlapBC has not stopped laughing since the pre-planned , misspelling of the word, Factual was placed in our ad in By The Sea Times . We all know BC so well, we knew BC would react to the trap and BC did. Does this make you feel like a fool? Thanks for the extra free advertising.
December 31, 2008 at 9:51 am
NOW BC THINKS BC RUNS BY THE SEA TIMES. “BETTER LATE… THAN …NEVER.”.. HUH?….What day is your choice of paper delivery BC?
December 31, 2008 at 9:58 am
WE have read By The Sea Times from cover to cover . It is clear the Furths have done their homework. This is by far the BEST published paper in our town to date. There was not one lie printed in this paper. There were varied opinions and multiple individuals submitting interesting articles. BC must be shaking in BC’s boots. All the people BC claims are in BC’s camp have left the flock. It is clear these people have had it with BC’s continual attacks and never ending slams at this beautiful town.
December 31, 2008 at 10:02 am
We at SlapBc know why BC criticized Commissioner Clottey’s picture which we feel is a positive image for the holiday season. It is clear BC does not like the idea of people smiling. Commissioner Clottey looked great and this did not make BC happy. So what does BC do? She does what she does best- ATTACK!
December 31, 2008 at 10:11 am
BC’s nasty MO is again surfacing in BC’s most recent blog. That same old song, US or THEM. ALWAYS trying to pit people against each other. BC keeps up the constant attacks on the town, thus justifying BC’s never ending slams at town employees from the town attorney to the town manager to the staff to the commissioners and BC thinks BC is the only one along with Commissioner Dodd who can do anything right. BC has hurt Dodd tremendously amd let’s hope he wakes up in 2009.
December 31, 2008 at 10:42 am
The Truth Detector colunmn in By The Sea Times establishes in black and white that the “other paper ” in town has been telling lies continually throughout the publication. Vice Mayor McIntee has received a barage of lies form the “other paper”. BC says nothing about these lies against the Vice Mayor. This “other paper” continually attacks the Vice Mayor with lies and when the Truth Detector clears the lies, BC says absolutely nothing about the “other paper” which BC referred to as a “rag” in the past and now claims is a great paper. Another 180 documented. This is also the same publication that attacked her soulmate, John Thompson, and BC offered no defense of John Thompson in their attack against him. As a matter of fact BC promoted reading the attacks by that “other paper” by providing a link from BC’s own website to that “other paper’s” website! That certainly shows NO loyalty to a friend such as John Thompson. Does this pattern indicate a lack of morals on the part of BC?
December 31, 2008 at 10:52 am
BC continues her attack of By The Sea Times by going after the cover. What in the world is BC talking about? This is the kind of aimless attack and rambling by BC that makes people wonder… What is Bc thinking?
Everyone else is complimenting how great the cover looks.
December 31, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Dear Slap…We picked up a copy of the by the sea Times last night and noticed how great it looks! it keeps improving in style and especially in content. We can read the times and expect to enjoy ourselves rather than feeling all irritated by reading that other paper, which is always attacking Jerry McIntee and the other town leaders.
We first found your website in the Times and have been faithful readers ever since. We don’t even know where this BC writes or how to find it but we are content with reading slapbcbythesea because bc sounds just as irritating as the other paper . Thank you for keeping us informed. Happy New Year.
December 31, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Kudos to By The Sea Times. What a great edition! What is wrong with BC? Could’t BC congratulate the new owners on their accomplishment? Why does BC attack, attack, attack?
December 31, 2008 at 8:04 pm
McIntee and Silverstone did want a doggie beach when they campaigned in 2006. It was Commissioner Dodd who insisted on a straw poll to see if residents were in favor of the doggie beach . And it was Commissioner Dodd’s idea to have the doggie beach located at the beach by the Fountainhead! BC only tells what Bc wants you to know! The people were furious and so the doggie beach was defeated. Mcintee and Silverstone wanted a doggie beach but they represent the ‘Will of the People” and honored the straw poll and the numerous negative phone calls from concerned citizens. The vote was 4-1. Dodd ignored the negative votes by the citizens. He was the only one in favor and did not honor the straw poll nor the “will of the people.” Is it true Commissioner Dodd has been seen on many days walking his dogs on the NON doggie beach? BC criticizes the vote against the doggie beach even when the people spoke against it. BC constantly complains to honor the “will of the people” yet when the people’s will is NOT HONORED BY DODD, Bc tries to spin.
January 1, 2009 at 3:40 am
Well BC has hit a new low in everybody’s book to even admit that BC is taking and using information from somebody who is eavesdropping on a near by table conversation. This sleezy presentation of hearsay certainly seems to fit BC’s profile …AKA ..taking clandescent notes of private conversations of ex friends and then posting for all to read. These kinds of deceptive actions seem to establish again that nobody will put trust in BC. If anybody would ever want proof of these unscrupuluos tactics BC uses, here it is in BC’s own blog in BC’s own words.
January 1, 2009 at 5:26 am
Having Mark and Christi take over the By the Sea Times must be BC’s worst nightmare. The Furths are very well-respected lbts citizens for many, many years and give so much to the town by putting on really great town events. The articles in their paper are factual rather than mean-spirited and i know that’s what this town needs. I will now look forward to receiving my By the Sea Times when it is delivered to my driveway!
January 1, 2009 at 8:37 am
It pays to advertise in By The Sea Times. We are overwhelmed by the number of hits today. We are so happy that more and more people are hearing the truth about BC. This is truly a situation where honesty is the best policy and and the clear increase in readership proves the people want to hear the truth and read the truth.
January 1, 2009 at 6:58 pm
BC’s blog is awful. I was trying to read something about the newspaper wars and it literally made my eyes cross, reactivating my hangover from New Years Eve! And what is with the you-tube stuff? If you haven’t seen it don’t waste your time. BC is trying to be creative and technical but everything BC does comes across as nasty, yucky, and wierd.
New Years in Pelican Square was really packed. Did not see Minnet, Clottey, or Dodd but did see Silverstone and Mcintee. BC was nowhere to be found, at least to ring in the New year, but that probably won’t prevent BC from writing all about it as an expert observer. HA!
January 1, 2009 at 7:08 pm
It has been obvious that now that Dodd’s Public Safety Oversight Committiee witchhunt has fizzled out he is launching a witchhunt against the Town Manager…all for BC.
As ridiculous as this may sound to people… BC…literally…singlehandedly…wants… to… control…. Lauderdale by the Sea.
And BC will use anyone or anything to do it.
January 2, 2009 at 12:24 am
Thanks to a prior submission on this site, I will not waste my time with the YouTube garbage that BC has referred to on Bc site. I have seen You Tube on Tv reports and everyone I have seen is freaky. Why would BC waste her time and anyone’s else time on such weird maretial? It goes to show you how nasty and yucky Bc is toward people in this community who are working together to make our town a better place to live. BC contributes NOTHING POSITIVE. BC IS OUT and the NEW YEAR IS IN ! Happy New Year and may all of us see hostility and hate be a thing of the past.
January 2, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Judging from the ” I am rich” references in BC’s Chicago blog Bc desperately wants us to know BC’s bank balance. Does BC think BC is being sutle or does Bc not care how classless Bc looks with name dropping etc.? Submitted by a faithful reader

January 3, 2009 at 2:37 am
I have become a devoted reader of slap bc since I saw it advertised in By The Sea Times a few weeks ago and my friends and I thank the producers for all they are doing to get the truth out there.
It was great to spend the holidays away with friends and family and I am catching up with nonsense in Bc’s blog which I feel is very offensive to the citizens and town staff.
What is Bc trying to prove? It sounds like another witch hunt! How does that statement go…If you don’t succeed, try, try again! BC writes “The Pavilion had a lot of attention…most was not good…just not good…but the chain of events…and why it turned out so much different than what was voted on…but the chain of events…to the final result…”some heads should spin”…in who took over the decision making…behind the scenes!…a full accounting of the finances need further in depth study…Who’s pocketing the difference due to the lack of walls and plumbing hook-up costs that someone decided to ditch?…”
Where does BC get the nerve to make condemning accusations such as BC writes? Does Bc have evidence to back such accusations or is BC stabbing in the dark? Just exactly who is BC accusing of what? Bc’s writing has indicated her dislike for the town manager. Could the town manager be the target of BC’s accusations? Is Dodd in support of Bc’s seemingly nasty actions and accusations?
Who does Bc think ditched the bathrooms?.. Does BC suspect the hard working town manager? Who does BC write about when Bc writes “Who’s pocketing the difference?” Does BC suspect the town manager or someone else of corruption? Bc’s writing sounds very serious and damaging . Could Bc be libel? Who does Bc suspect as “that someone”? Bc better have some proof of these serious allegations or BC will be proven to have written more lies and unfounded accusations against good individuals who are trying to perform their duties and improve our beautiful town. These remarks by BC have really reached an all time low in my book! There are two heads that I can think of that could use a good spin but the town manager is not one of them!
January 3, 2009 at 6:38 am
The ultimate slap in the face to the citizens of LBTS came in a recent blog from BC. Here is an individual who time after time atatcks all the town workers, the town attorney, the town manager, the vice mayor and anyone else BC can disparage publicly.. In Bc’s mind no one can do anything right in this town. Now to put out a blog bragging about one’s wealth and affluency shows a diregard for the hard working citizens of our town and clearly seems to indicate a point of view that shows, I am better than you.
January 3, 2009 at 6:42 pm
First I read slapbcbythesea, then I read the topix blog. I do this to find out if there is anything worthwhile reading on BC’s website before I bother going there. By the recent posts, I thought I’d go there and boy what a waste of time.
Is it just me or does it seem like BC’s website is like an adolescent, my space, diary where BC writes down everything that happened to BC during the day along with all of BC’s thoughts and feelings such as
I love…, I hate Jerry.
Esther is no fan of mine.
Roseanne is my very bestest friend in the whole wide world.
I have more money than you do…nana..na..na..na!
I’m telling on you!
You’re Bad!
You’re going to get it!
So and so’s in Biiiiigggggg trouble!
BC seems very childish and immature, you can tell by BC’s self-absorbed writing without thought of the poor reader struggling to comprehend.
Slapbcbythesea is a blog where you can write comments but I have rarely. Comments relate to BC’s website. BC’s website seems to be nothing other than BC’s own, personal little red diary with a tiny lock and key that would be better off locked shut, thrown out of and left behind.

It is so obvious. BC tries to tells how happy and wonderful everything is in Chicago but then BC continues to throw in her hateful , spiteful blogs about our town officials. BC continues to especially attack Vice Mayor MCintee and Commisssioner Silverstone. Why doesn’t BC realize that the citizens are sick and tired of her negativity? BC seems to think her writing is humorous but it is sad not funny.
BC seems so happy in Chicago, perhaps she should stay in Chicago permanently and stay “happy.”

We would like to share with our readers a confirmed report of events that occurred at a recent Christmas party Commissioner Dodd attended. As the libations were consumed , party goers chastised Commissioner Dodd for his 180 turn on many of his broken campaign promises that Dodd made proir to his election. One of the party goers asked Commissioner Dodd to return the personal campaign donation he gave to Dodd. BC’s name came up and Commissioner Dodd was told to get rid of that S.O.B. ( WE will not repeat the exact derogatory words). There was discussion that Dodd get away frm BC as BC has ruined Dodd’s political career. This is from his friends, neighbors and ex-supporters, not political people in town.
January 4, 2009 at 5:02 am
The interpretaion that can be taken from BC’s latest blog is that BC is screaming for attention, spewing hate and attacking everyone except the postman and doing it under the mantra BC knows best. Citizens of LBTS have had enough of BC and are sick of negative, mean-spirited, vicious statements that just get monotonous, day after day. The test of time has shown that even the non-political citizens associated with Commissioner Doodd, his former friends and neighbors, are sayig the same thing: Enough of this BC , BC appears to be a hatemonger and is using Commissioner Dodd to be BC’s puppet and spout BC’s own complaints publicly.
January 4, 2009 at 5:11 am
The citizens are still waiting for an apology from BC to the Volunteer Fire Department for BC’s outrageous lies about the activity of the VFD Beach Patrol. BC appears to be so conceited that BC will never accept the fact that BC’s unwarranted attacks, in most cases are flat out lies and BC will never apologize for those lies. BC would rather talk down to us low level citizens while flaunting her expensive dinners and hotel accomodations in Chicago. How insulting is that?
January 4, 2009 at 5:23 am
Insults , condescending remarks and namecalling are a few of the devices that BC uses on a daily basis. BC refers to the Vice Mayor’s suporters as ‘McGang”, “McGroup” or whatever! At least Vice mayor McIntee has supporters who stand up for him!
What does Dodd have? It looks like Dodd has one lonely BC cheerleader.
January 4, 2009 at 6:15 am
According to BC’s blog, looks like BC has dubbed Dodd a Knight of the Round Table. How appropriate! It says, “We dine well here in Camelot.” Seems like Bc has placed Dodd in BC’s Ivory Tower and both are sitting high above the rest of us peons.
January 4, 2009 at 6:22 am
There is absolutely one way to establish Dodd is NOT a Knight of the Round Table as BC has tried to promote! Dodd broke his campaign promises to his subjects. No Knight of the Round Table would break his word. A Knight of the Round Table would never break his word of honor and no sword on his shoulder could ever recreate that honor. But let us be fair. We do not blame it all on Dodd. The blame can be shared with his squire BC who has helped take his honor away.

Just recently heard the same story from the horses mouth about Dodd being called to the mat by a once, ardent supporter at a recent Christmas party. Citizens of LBTS are really waking up to Dodd’s flip flop from new-guard ideals to old-guard “its my way or the highway” philosophy.
Dodd sure underestimated the intelligence of lbts citizens to smell a rat. We’ve had lots of experience over the last 14 years. Although Dodd tries to look tough and authoritative on the dais, his hair-brained schemes always end with a wimper…e.g. the doggie beach, the open-container district, the oversight committee, the two-hat referendum, etc.
Without his agenda speeches and homework all written out for him by BC and JT, he’s lost on his own and folds like a cheap lawnchair.
So so many of us are disgusted that we gave Dodd the time of day and a red cent during the election. He’s been completely and irretrievably brainwashed by BC and all hope is lost. We’ll just have to wait on the next 3 years till its over.

Hey, for new readers of slapbc, I have a scoop for you! If you have just started reading the latest blogs…give yourself a treat and go back to November 15 and start reading a series of articles by “The Insider”.
This series documents the 2008 Lauderdale by the Sea election from an insiders point of view. Learn about all the players, the campaign battles, the power grabs and how “what happend then” plays out today on the dais. It is fascinating reading and was written to counteract the misinformation and distortions in BC’s “tell-all” election diary.
I guarantee you’ll enjoy it! “The Insider”
January 6, 2009 at 11:14 am
There BC goes again!!!DOOM and GLOOM! DOOM AND GLOOM! Now the town revenues are in the tubes. Everything the town government has done is smoke and mirrors. It is so excitng to know that Bc is a Certified Public Accountant. BC knows all about finances and how our town must work! BC is off the wall. Nobody listens to her any more. Nobody trusts her any more and even people who used to associate with BC are abandoning BC.
January 6, 2009 at 11:21 am
Word around town is that all the rumors about Commissioner Dodd being berated at a Christmas party in front of many neighbors is absolutely true. It has also been confirmed that Dodd was told to get rid of BC. Dodd was told that BC is destroying him. People are so upset about BC taking away Commissioner Dodd’s so called promised independence that campaign donors want Dodd to return their campaign donations.
January 6, 2009 at 11:26 am
Recent postings by BC regarding her vacation made us all sit back in wonderment . Does BC really think anybody cares what BC does in Chicago? Our only hope is that BC goes back to Chicago and never returns.
January 6, 2009 at 11:40 am
We have heard that Commissioner Clottey is putting her foot in a pile becuse Clottey is being influenced by BC. Clottey better get her facts straight and learn who the real good guys are. Do not be led astray by bad advice from BC. It appears BC has others doing the dirty work. If Clottey keeps hanging around with BC , campaign donors maybe asking Clottey to return their campaign donations too!
January 6, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Clottey is a great person. We just hope her association with BC does not jeopardize her integrity and we hope that campaign supporters do not treat her like they treated Dodd at the Christmas party. Citizens are saying that BC’s control over Dodd has ruined Dodd. Let’s hope Clottey frees herself from BC before Clottey is also said to be ruined by BC.
January 7, 2009 at 6:37 am
Wow BC really has no life..BC cannot wait for the meeting on the

BC has for the town staff and LBTS..Sad life BC has chosen for herself..
January 7, 2009 at 12:17 pm
While out tonight socializing, there was an extensive conversation of the wheres and whys of BC’s hate. The people familiar with BC have the same conclusion. There is no reason for BC to act as BC does. Could it be a clinical matter? Does BC need to seek medical help?
January 7, 2009 at 12:24 pm
The staff of SlapBc would like to reiterate to our readers that our sole goal is to present the truthful representation of facts and to truly set the record straight on the misrepresentations BC makes on Bc’s blog.
January 7, 2009 at 12:31 pm
We would like to thank all the people coming to our site to read the truth. The hits are far greater than our wildest expectations. This proves that people will go the extra mile to find the truth. We shall endeavor to continue this site as long as BC degrades and malign our town employees and elected officials.
January 7, 2009 at 10:09 pm
It seems You can tell when someone is over the edge, they start into the old “do as I say, not as I do” approach.
In BC’s blog today-
“”Here in LBTS we have anonymous blogging still going on 2 fronts…with the Topix portal to the sea blog…..(the only thing that hasn’t changed associated with this project)….originally setup for comments on the ever changing in structure Commercial Blvd. Beach Pavilion….It has become the “drug” of choice to a few…who spew their venom…”"
So BC seems to be saying, you can either read my blog, – take my drug, or take the other drug that spews venom. BC is using BC’s name, but you will find many of BCs thoughts are coming from “anonymous friends” that may send email, conversations overheard by others and then reported to BC, hearsay, statements like, “we hear”, unfounded accusations without any proof and on and on.
BC look in the mirror.
BC seems to have has become a control freak. The same thing BC says BC is so opposed to. I’m guessing something that seems believable and seems possible and that is BC has not had such attention and fell in love with it. Does it seem like BC could be treated like an addict ? Bc writes of others taking “the “drug ” of choice.” Say NO to Drugs! It seems those who support BC enable Bc, most intentionally, because they are using BC to get something they need themselves. BC will most likely keep going until bottom is hit!
January 7, 2009 at 11:14 pm
So Bc says, BC doesn’t “partake” in slapbc site! Wonder how BC knows what is written on slap site? What a coincidence: Bc reacted heavily to slapbc’s report of record number hits to the slapbc site. BC seems to be trying to steer BC’s “faithful” readers away from slapbc site but in reality, BC is doing quite the opposite. This morning alone there is a great surge in numbers! Once again, thanks for the free advertising and thanks for driving “faithful” readers to slapbc site where readers will finally hear and read the truth!
January 8, 2009 at 12:03 am

BC seems to have a crush on our VM. Why else would the VM be in 99.9% of BC’s blog? Dodd did us a diservice by stabbing us folk who voted for him in the back. His blatant disrespect to our VFD is tragic and hopefully our volunteers don’t get discouraged. Yes an elected commissioner has turncoated us but he will reap his just rewards election time.

Rambling on is what BC seems to do best. BC’s latest defense of the Future paper shows how desperate BC is gain support from any quadrant. Of course this is the same paper that BC has previuosly condemned to her ex- friends of the past.
January 8, 2009 at 12:33 pm
The most ridiculous statement in BC’s recent post is that McIntee is not the most experienced firefighter in the VFD. This is such a grossly inaccurate statement by BC that it is not even worth the argument. It is clear that BC’s hate of the Vice Mayor clouds reality in BC’s mind and if BC cannot attack Bc is not happy.
January 8, 2009 at 12:54 pm
There BC goes again . Let’s take a trip down memeory lane. Remember the biggest screamer about the sidewalks on Seagrape, Folks ??? It was BC ! The contractors did not know what to, nothing was right . The town manager did not know what to do, the building dept did not know what to do. It was going to be over budget. BC did all BC could to stir up Dodd, CIC members and tried everything to attack Commissioner MCIntee and Commissioner Silverstone. Way back then she tried to make McIntee and Silverstone the bad guys and the sidewalks were all their fault. BC uses the same MO now as BC did back then. Pitting neighbor against neighbor and commissioner against commissioner. Divide, divide, divide! Now fast forward to today. The sidewalks are done, under buget, the neighborhood has increased in value, the neighborhood is safer, citizens are praising the project. I bet when the pavilon is done, everyone will love it too!

What a joke! Bc tries to equate LBTS with another town.
BC says: Other town “Mayor demands staff performance”…”accountability happens in private industry, all the time and at all levels; it should happen in government. When people do not fulfill their responsibilities, they should be held accountable. It all stems from leadership or- the lack thereof…”
NOW LET’S LOOK AT BC’S OWN TOWN’S PROBLEM OF WHICH BC HAS FAILED TO QUESTION: Mayor Minnet has been asked for over three months to produce backup information from the Greenfest event of which Minnet was Chair. Minnet appointed an individual who is not an LBTS citizen nor does this person work for the town in any way, shape or form. This person Minnet appointed to run the Greenfest, town sponsored event opened up a bank account using his own Social Security number. The commissioners have asked for bank statements and were not received as of the last commission meeting. Commissioner Clottey tabled the item for yet another meeting so Minnet can turn in those bank statements. Even Dodd admitted on the dais that it was WRONG for a private individual to open an account with a Social security number when town donations were accepted and put into this individual’s own account ,. Checks were for LBTS town sonsored event. The Commission approved $1,000.00 of taxpayers dollars for which Minnet herself asked the commission to approve. $1,000.00 was approved 5-0. Now BC, LET US HEAR A REPORT ABOUT MAYOR MINNET”S LACK OF BACKUP MATERIALS and RESPONSBILTY TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! MATERIALS HAVE BEEN REQUESTED SINCE SEPTEMBER. BC HAS DEAF EARS AND NO POISON PEN ON THIS ONE!

Maybe if BC did not spend the day bothering employees,this women
would of not hung up, but i would.We all know in the business world
not one financil Statement for Dec would be completed until the end of Jan
But this shows BC has little Clue what life is about and running a business..BC could have more hang ups and no one speaking to an out cast..
January 9, 2009 at 3:36 am
BC will have more hang ups, get a life..Jan 7 and its Jan 8th and year end..I think we all are very busy closing the books and doing taxes..but drop what your doing for bc needs it NOw for the meeting so Dodd has his notes to read word for word at the meeting!
January 9, 2009 at 5:18 am
WAH! WAH! WAH! Bc not getting bc’s way. Sources have told slapabc that the VFD is tired with the everyday attacks generated by BC. A continual form of harrassment and calls will not be tolerated anymore. bc will find out shortly that bcs requests will have to be in writing and will have to be responded to in writng . There is nothing in anyone’s hankbook that demands you talk to anyone who is continually harassing the organization. Realize that bc did receive an email stating that bcs requests will get done. Looks like bc will get no special treatment from anybody in this town. Everyone is fed up with bc. There also is a report that the fire dept harrasser was the nasty party and not the fire department employee.
January 9, 2009 at 5:33 am
It would seem that a pattern of rejection is beginning to sweep the town. People have had it with Bc and will not take it anymore. it is clear that associating with BC may be the most disastorus thing you can do at this time. Commissioner Clotey should take note of this statement. If you want to be black listed in this community, association with BC could be the answer. The continual controversies being stirred by BC are doing nothing more than hurting this communiy. People and organiaztions are now seeing that BCs gaol is to pit neighbor against neighbor and government official against government official. The people have “seen the light.” We at slapbc believe this is the reason that ths slapbc site is getting far more hits than ever imagined.
January 9, 2009 at 6:12 am
Judging from the total lack of courtesy shown to bc’s fellow citizens and certain commisioners at town meetings with Bc’s rude behavior, I can only imagine how BC treated the person who handled her phone call to the VFD. BC lacks credibility on any topic but it seems only reasonable to assume Bc was as rude as usual. Arrogant and demanding come to mind immediately but I will not go on. We have seen Bc act like a spoiled child in public so why would Bc act any differently on the phone?
January 10, 2009 at 11:39 am
Dear Truth-Seeker Readers,
We enjoyed a peaceful day off from the abyss of Bc and what a pleasant day it was! Now we must get back to reality and the busines of truth. Hope you enjoyed your day too..

Hi Commissioner Clottey, We are happy to hear you are reading our site. This site is a big supporter of yours and respect the fact that you cannot be influenced easily. Please, Commissoner Clottey be cautious of people who are trying to influence you not because of the love of their town but because of their dispostion of hate. You have the interest of the town at heart. Just the fact that bc does not give you the proper title of addressing you as DR. should tell you bc’s level of respect of you might be supercial . bc addressed you as Ms.Clottey and we consider this reference to you as disrespectful.
January 10, 2009 at 12:01 pm
bc, we are honoredto hear Commissioner Clottey tunes in to slapbc because we know that Commissioner Cottey is rational and honest and knows the truth when she reads it.
January 10, 2009 at 12:19 pm
We at slapbc sit back and chuckle at poor bc. Bc seems be desparate to prevent slapbc’s right to advertise in any publication they want to. No body is forced to go on any website- That is their own choice. To our pleasant surprise, our hits go up every week and continue to go up after every advertisement. We have heard from many of our readers why they are coming to our slapbc site. They are looking for an avenue away from the hate bc generates and a site where the truth is being presented. They realize that the intentions of this site are not hate but getting the facts and presentation of truth. So if bc can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen! It would appear bc is against freedom of speech. One of those rights of the public is to gain knowledge and learn the truth.
January 10, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Well it looks like the VFd has had it with bc. bc called 9 times in two days, demanding info that was not even completed yet. This continual harrassment of the VFD has finally reached a head. We have heard that they will not deal with bc unless it is in writing. No secretary working for any corporation shoud have to take the verbal abuse generated by bc. The apology should be coming from bc not the employee. We support the right of that VFD employee to terminate the call from bc. There is clearly a pattern that develops in bc’s attacks . bc attacks all the town employyee and then blames them for everything . bc’s goal appears to be to get rid of the Town Manager and Town Attorney. Both individulas will not cow tow to her demands . bc has no idea of the backlash that is coming at her or any one who supports her ill intentioned actions. If there is one person in this town who is supported for honesty and trust and is non -policial, it is Esther Colon. The vast mjority of the citizens favor Ms. Colon and we at slapbc estimate that number to be 85%. To attack Ms Colon will do nothing but hurt any one who associates with bc in these endeavors.
January 10, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Bc appears strictly delusional when bc dicusses the CIC. Bc ‘s hate for this organization clearly clouds bc’s thoughts. When you think about all the things bc hates about this town, you wonder why any one who hates so many different operations of this town would want to live here. bc truly appears to be a character with major flaws.
Commissioner Clottey has seen what has happened to Commissioner Dodd in his damaged carreer and Commissioner Clottey is far to smart to let the same pitfuls bring her down. Members of the CIC like and trust Commissioner Clottey and support her.
January 10, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Did bc tell Commissioner Clottey about bc’s phone call to Bob Eckblad during the campaign after Commissioner Clottey had signed on to run for office? Perhaps this could be the end of their so called frienship and start of a conscious distrust. more to come…
bc says it was an unfortunate mistake that Commissioner Clottey checked out the slapbc site . WRONG! We at slapbc say you are welcome to check in any time . bc says Commissioner Clottey’s eyes were opened. If commissioner Clottey continues to read this site, yes, her eyes will be opened even wider to the truth. Visit slapbc often.
January 10, 2009 at 8:20 pm
BC seems to forget that Commissioner Clottey is also a very good friend of the Furths and, if she reads BC’s blog, has to read about her friends and greatest supporters, Mark and Crissy being trashed, paragraph after paragraph, on a daily basis by BC!
Don’t worry Slap…keep up the good work of neutralizing BC with truth-telling. Eventually Clottey will develop a natural gravitation toward those who are well-respected citizens of this Town and unhook from the grip of those, like BC, who thrive on divisiveness and hate.
All Clottey has to do is take a look at what happened to Dodd if she lets BC have any control over her!
January 12, 2009 at 12:12 pm
When it come to causing problems BC has really started a war that will destroy Dodd once and for all. Encouraging Comm Dodd to send a threatening E Mail to the Furths, was about the stupidest thing BC could have done. The Furths run the paper and know how to fight back with the truth. For those of you who dont know, Dodd threatened the Furths with action for putting a paper stand on their own property in front of their hotel. This is dumb and dumber on Dodd part. BC was pushing and Dodd makes this stupid move. How do we know this BC puts it in BC blog. The fact is clear the town ordiance is for paper stands on public property and have nothing to do with private land. Heck they could put a flower pot out their with papers on it, as long as it was on their proerty, it is legal. BC again starts problems and Dodd jumps in. Maybe Dodd should now worry about getting a IRS number for collecting on boats he stores behind his house so he can pay his sales tax on the income. Or maybe he should get a occupational license for doing work on those boats owned by other people in his back yard. Dodd is a commissioenr and should not do anything this stupid, now he opens pandoras box, wow yikes, thanks BC. Look for a picture of one of those big sail boats in Dodd back yard on a local paper in the future. Dodd, BC is going to destroy you in this town, wake up.
January 12, 2009 at 12:33 pm
They are mulitple confirmed reports that BC is loosing more and more favor with anyone associating with this individual. Several people in Sea Ranch have all confirmed BC is personna non grata throughout the whole complex and we mean building ABC. The town employees will only deal with BC under duress, they dont trust BC or even want to talk to BC. The VFD is done and will no longer verbally deal with BC. The bridges are all falling down and the island BC lives on is getting smaller and smaller. The CIC, the group BC claimed was losing many members is growing at the rate of over 15 families a month now over 225 families. For the record there have been two resignations from the CIC, one of which we all know who quit and the other a camp follower. The tide of malcontent is going against BC and the building blocks of the CIC get stronger and stonger. It is predicted 300 families by July 2009. Now that is a real wow and yikes. Their has been a huge spike in membership mainly because so many people are mad at what Dodd did they want to support the CIC to continue to protect our town from the developers and the people who write the futures paper, now the good friends of Comm. Dodd and BC. The strongest reason they are joining is to show unabridged support of the Town manager Ester Colon. BC campaigning to hurt this great town manager is back firing ten fold. The people love Ms. Colon and will suppot her almost as much as the VFD.
We at SLAP encourage all citizens to watch the meeting this Tuesday their will be a bomb shell that will once and for all prove how terrible BC lies and when this comes out BC will be painted throughout this town for the type of creature BC is.

We can be proud of the fine work Ms. Colon has done by making sure the office staff is doing their work in a positive way that is appreciated by all who come in contact with these fine employees.
When ever you happen to come in contact with these individuals you should make it a point to let them know how much they are appreciated., I am confident a kind word would be appreciated.

I read BC’s latest anti McIntee rabble and reminded me of a little spoiled girl who didn’t get BC’s way becoming so frustrated BC’s reduced to a puddle of a non coherently rambling mess. The reality of the situation is at hand and BC placed the wrong bet. Still no mention of the Mayors non reporting of her promised finances. Now if McIntee did the same! This destroyed any integrity BC had by giving her a pass.

First we must apologize to our avid readers because we have been out of town for a few days and it was impossible to communicate and continue our postings. We’re Backkkk! and will continue with the truth.
January 15, 2009 at 8:30 am
We have finished reviewing the various posts we missed and we sit back in our chair in utter amazement at just how “off the wall ” these Bc posts are. In our opinion, much is missing: No rhyme or reason, no coherent content, unfinished sentences , pooring spelling, and third grade grammar. Bc’s continual, non- professional writing seems to be driving the few readers Bc has away.
January 15, 2009 at 8:52 am
Multiple reports have been received that the world of bC is beginning to close in. More and more of ‘s original supporters are disassociatng themselves from bC and closing the door and eliminating their association with bC. It seems this can be confirmed by seeing the people bC is associating with at the town meetings. The people bC is associating with now were bC’s sworn ememies and bC had nothing good to say about the people in the months past. Does anyone really believe that these people who knew how bC felt about them would want anything to do with bC? Desperate moves by bC passing out business cards to anyone who will take them seems rather pathetic…There is a tip for Bc to check the garbage can outside the door of Town Hall. It seems those business cards are being found there.
January 15, 2009 at 9:13 am
It is our opinion that clearly the credibility of bc is zero. Bc claims to be a crusader of right and justice in our town but if the Vm did what mayor Minnet did or anyhing close to what the mayor did there would be post after post of what he did. Case in point; Mayor Minnret’s failure to produce records regarding Greengate. The word is out the State Attorney is getting involved but bc doesn’t care. It seems Bc believes Minnet is a friend but many know the phoney appearence. The fact that bc has not condemned Minnet’s apparently blatant disregard of town rules shows that bc is a despot filled with hate and anger
January 15, 2009 at 9:31 am
It has been observed that Bc makes attacks on individuals and has no idea what the ramifications will be. Recently BC attacked one of the most respected long time residents of LBTS who has friends throughout the town . Many of these friends are joining together and in the furure may present bc with problems bc could not dream of. When you attack a citizen who is not involved in politics, you have crossed a boundary that no one will accept. Bc has started a brush fire that looks like it will turn into a forest fire. More and more citizens are getting the word of the continual attacks on town officials, town employees and now citizens of the town. As bc continues these blatant negtaive perceptions of our town, it creates a situation where both Commissioner Dodd and Commissioner Clottey wil be painted with this same hurtful brush with this negative venue. NO ONE and it is repeated, NO ONE will accept ngativity 100% of the time.
January 15, 2009 at 9:50 am
The Volunteer Fire Department is not obligated to treat bc any different than anyone else but in bc’s mind, it appears bc thinks bc should be treated as special. The VFD secretary has every right, after 9 calls to tell the caller that the requested responses will be available and then terminate the call. Face it, Who is going to believe bc over the secretary of the VFD ,when bc has a history of continuedl untruths and demanding demeanor?
January 15, 2009 at 10:10 am
It was a very positive action for this town when a heavy majority of VFD members elected the Vice Mayor by a sealed ballot as Deputy Chief of the VFD for the next year. Deputy Chief McIntee is the most qualified and experienced firefighter in the department and can certainly be nothing but an asset in the coming year. Bc has continually attacked his quasi chief position in the past. Bc kept on calling him the “de facto chief.” Now it will be easier for bc. Bc can now call the Vice Mayor the Deputy Chief and IT IS OFFICIAL. Proof of what we have said in other posts, there can be no such claim of a “scoop” on such OLD INFORMATION!!

I am so disgusted with the daily attacks made by this viscious BC. BC should be ashamed. Does Bc not have any morals? How does sleep at night? It would be obivious that BC cannot sleep at night. Why would BC stay up all night making up lies and harassing good town officials and staff? I am very confident with our commisioners, town staff the vfd and all the mcgang . These are the real decent people who really care and love our town. BCshould stop being so low. Let our town staff continue doing a great job. Let the vm continue wearing several hats. Learn to appreciate what this gentleman does for our town for the love of his residents, for the passion of helping residents in any situation that they may need help. He is at every event in town helping out where help is needed. I have never seen any other commissioner besides Com Silverstone going out of their way 24hrs a day to help this town. I find Bc appauling and BC should be ashamed for treating the real people of this town disrespectfully.

Is there any organization that Bc was once a member of and BC doesn’t ‘BAD MOUTH?” Didn’t BC stand up at a town commission meeting and Tear apart the Property Owners Association and even said publicly to tell the POA to remove Bc’s name from the membership? What nerve,Certainly not town business! Bc quit the CIC and can not say enough lies about the organization, its board officers, and members . John Thompson was not in the running for CIC Citizen of the Year because NO ONE NOMINATED HIM. He was by all means allowed to run because he was an employed in town at the time. There were no special reules for the MacMillans. The ballots were counted in front of several people and MacMillans won by a landslide. That shows you BC does not have a clue about the greatness and strengthog the CIC. BC only lies about the CIC. BC is afraid of the strength of the CIC.

Ater going in the salty ocean to assist the BSO , lollipops were handed out to the recuers to clean the salt out of their mouths . How ririculous Bc sounds! Nothing seems to be right unless Bc says so!

“A resident heard…”and Dodd listened to the rumor! Commissioner Dodd was way out of line and so tottally antagonist questioning Chief Perkins while Dodd was sitting on the dais. A phone call wuold have save a lot of Commission Meeting time and saved Dodd embarrassment! No VFd firefighter showed up in shorts and flip flops to the drowning scene. The VFd took off heavy bunker pants inorder to swimm to help with the drowning.
January 18, 2009 at 2:17 am
Bc is so far off and completrly antagonist on this one! The VM does not nor ever will do “profiling” according to a person’s last name, especially if it is Greek! McIntee is honored to have a Greek son-in-law. It’s not a name that brings doubt upon a person but rather known facts!
January 18, 2009 at 2:21 am
Bc did not want to pay fines for false alarms at Bc’s house! Nor did Bc want to accept responsibility but rather blame a business. Why does Bc think Bc is special? Police and firefighters risk their lives racing to false alarm calls just as they risk their lives amswering any emergency call.

FEAR is the word Bc seems to have of the CIC. There is no “drastic decline” as Bc begs you to believe. Bc has no clue about the CIC except what Bc reports from hearsay.

January 19, 2009 at 9:04 am
In contrast to the vision offered by Barack Obama’s Audacity of Hope, BC’s vision of life should be termed “The Audacity of Doom and Gloom”
Case in point BC’s vision of the demise of the CIC. Sadly, every point made in BC’s article is a twisted version of reality, like only BC can do. I have heard that the CIC membership is up by over 15 members at this time. Drastic Decline? Only in BC’s delusions!
The CIC is only a social/event group? How about the two Old-fashioned Town Hall meetings for LBTS Citizens and numerous general meetings on important town issues? Does BC do anything constructive for the town?
One Board of Director’s private epiphany on the beach about how to be a better director? Only BC could print someone’s personal meditation and label it “quite amusing”. Maybe BC should try to self-relfect on BC’s sick attitude more often!
BC..it was a time to sit mum as the vice mayor came to power armed with full-blown payback…
It was BC, JT, and Dodd that pulled out the payback plan…dodd dumping the CIC after all the work was done…BC launching Bc’s attack site…and JT sending out vindictive e-mails to all the CIC members lying about the Board of Directors.
BC..it was time to throw those that did not follow the Mc-gang under the bus..
The Mc-Gang didn’t have time to bother with turn-coats and traitors like BC, Dodd, and JT. They were busy volunteering to make lbts a better place….rebuilding the VFD, putting on town events, deflecting internal attacks from JT against the CIC. It was the BC gang that spent the year in attack mode…the rest of us were just trying to deal with how BC turned friends into bitter enemies.
BC…the candidate they heartily endorsed…tarred and feathered
Stuart Dodd dumped all of his supporters. If we had all laid down the red carpet for his exit he and the BC cult would have still gone after the VFD, the height limits, etc…anyway. That was the Cult’s plan all along.
Their trusted friend and historian, JT…finishing out his duties as a CIC Board member…
Poor JT…He has been dissing the CIC all year publicly is because he doesn’t think McIntee is re-electable and is worried that the CIC still supports McIntee…What a dishonorable, back-door way to operate as a Board of Director…to try to hurt an organization because he doesn’t support one Commissioner he’s worried the CIC likes. Good riddance to JT…too bad his lbts legacy is shot thanks to BC’s negative influence.
BC…the fix was in on the Citizens of the Year Award (The MacMillans). BC has no idea what happens in the CIC. The MacMillans won by a landslide, fair and square. If BC doesn’t like results, BC makes up complete lies about the process.
The recipient yelled from the back of the room to Dodd…you betrayed us!
Yes, MacMillan did say that and to a round of applause. If only BC had been there to witness it rather than fabricating stories about it. Dodd should have been a man and taken the heat from his supporters rather than wimpering off to BC to do his fighting for him. But, that hasn’t changed, has it? Dodd is delusional if he thinks the CIC threw him under the bus. He used the CIC and then dumped them.,,anybody with half a brain can figure out that equation.
BC…There will be a general meeting on Feb. 2 to discuss the height limits and overlay districts…huh …These are the very same people that have thwarted Commissioner Dodd…stalling the release of information they require and repeatedly requested to rectify this knee-jerk CIC implored blunder that resulted in the removal of the overlay districts.
You have got to be kidding! In all of Dodd’s campaign material dating back to a year ago November, he promised to remove the overlay districts! Knee-jerk? He is the biggest idiot in the history of lbts if he did not realize that doing that returns the height to 33 feet in old town.
What pisses us off in the CIC is that he wants to raise it back up to 44 feet (really 50+ feet) without a vote of the people…so much for “listening to the people” Dodd, Cold, and JT!
BC…If the incumbent broom boys are in for a 2nd term…there will be no other CIC member even attempt to throw their hat in.
And that, folks, is what it all boils down to. If the CIC likes what Jerry and Jim have done for them. If the CIC likes the way they vote on the dais, and how they fulfill their campaign promises to keep the town a wonderful place to live…they probably won’t have any competition from the CIC. And since BC, Dodd, and JT don’t like Jerry…the BC Cult will have to kill the CIC, the BTST, the VFD. This has been what it has all been about. From back-dooring Jerry for the Vice-Mayor, from Dodd quitting the CIC, from attacking the VFD, from turning from old-guard to new-guard…from BTST to the Futures…this is it in a nutshell. Its all about a personal vendetta against McIntee…not what is best for the town. Such petty people without core values!
BC…warning writers to think before they write for BTST…implying a political alliance.
Hold on to your two hats on this one! BC touts the Future’s, heralds Mark Brown and talks about political alliance! YIKES! BC has got to be sick, sick, sick about the nice tone and quality of the BTST. She’s trying to turn columnists away from writing…Gee, BC doesn’t seem to having much of an impact. hmmmmm. Wasn’t it Dodd who wrote for the Futures, a paper just as nasty as BC! Heard that Dodd has been graciously offered to submit to the Times but wants to make sure it is ethical and fair. Guess he considers the Future’s right up there with the New York Times! HA!
BC…think long and hard before you re-up with the current incarnation of the CIC…after seeing what those in charge have wrought.
Dear BC…take your “audacity of Doom and Gloom” somewhere else. How about running for the president of the property owners. After all, it seems.you are next in line to the queen of the seemingly,most hated woman in town, CG! CHEERS!

The fact remains , when pedestrians are the main source of traffic in an alleyway, and safety of life is the issue, ONE HUMAN LIFE SAVED is more precious than all the access alleyways in the county…
January 21, 2009 at 4:30 am
Bc seems to lie about others in the community pulling tricks but when has BC ever taken responsibility for her own schemes? Wasn’t BC the one who got around campaign donation rules by using the names of five (5) of BC’s own family members inorder to give the “max” in campaign donations to Dodd for his campaign? Haven’t heard of any other CIC member who donated, donated, donated, donated, donated using 5 family members. BC seems to know the tricks and the people know BC’s tricks too!
January 21, 2009 at 4:37 am
BC’s vocabulary includes such words as “despicable rants and raves”, “hoodwinked”, fix was in”, “leap of faith” “with full blown payback”. It seems BC would have the best “handle” on these words. They appear to be included for the purpose of achieving BC’s own agenda…an agenda of BC’s own!
January 21, 2009 at 4:44 am
BC seemed a bit concerned that the VM would tell the people how the old guard commission gave away town land to developers. Bc didn’t seem to approve of the VM telling the people how developers received a town cul-de-sac and then had plans to build waterfront property by using that town land. This building plan could not have happened without the consent of the old guard to give up your town property. Bc had quite an opposite view on the town giving up land to developers in the past. Looks like it is just another example of BC switching from past convictions!
January 22, 2009 at 8:00 pm
BC has shown true colors with BC’s support of placing back on a referendum increasing height to 15 stories in the north. With Dodd now supporting more density in the south end, what we have is 2 who have flipped on the side of the developers. I can understand why. Its only with them they can find any support, fake as it may be! It seems only the developers are left to tell BC and Dodd they are doing a good job and the right thing. Everyone else who knows the truth differs.
What Dodd and BC cant seem to see is all this niceness and support is BS. They don’t want to see the truth as the realization of their mistakes for it could cause deep pain to which they would prefer not to feel. So they must keep up in front of the voice of the developers being pushed towards even greater pain.
If they don’t know how deeply the people are protective of these issues, they are truly blinded by the greed of the developers.

The credibility of any writings of BC are ZERO. BC does not know or understand the truth. In ten pages of BC’s attack filled blog regarding the Town Comision Meeting, there is not one mention of Mayor Minnet’s violation of the town code regarding her town fudicary responsibility. After having promised the town residents and town commission a complete accountability of the Greenfest record for over 4 months, Minnet failed to present the outstanding records. This esatblishes beyond any doubt that BC’s blog is wrtitten for one purpose: Hatemongering, attacking town residents, targeted town employees and targetedTown Commissioners.

We wonder how stupid Commissioner Dodd must feel today after being led down the path of oblivion by BC. BC obviously told Dodd there was no vote on the removal of bathrooms in the pavilion. BC had printed, numerous times, that no one has been told why there are no bathrooms in the pavilion. And Dodd ran with it. He was basically made a fool of when Dodd demanded to get to the bottom of who removed the bathrooms from the pavilion. Vice Mayor McIntee proved with no question that Commissioner Dodd actually voted to remove those bathrooms with the rest of the commisioners on July 8. 2008. We suggest in the future that Comissioner Dodd do his own homework and stop relying on Bc who seems tofeed him” INCOHERENT PSYCHO BABBLE” as Rush calls it!

The new “so-called friends “who have close association to BC are the owners of the Athena Restaurant. They are soon to feel the “sting” of the association with BC. Although in this case, we see “birds of a feather” are flocking together. Their disgraceful behavior at the Thursday Night Commission Meeting has made them “per sons non grata” in the business communiy of LBTS. There is a sacred rule in politics that acknowledges that family members are “off limits.” To attack a senior grandmother of 5 with a verbal abuse so nasty that we will not print it in this site, is unacceptable to everyone. So BC has taken another step in the destruction of people’s lives.
January 24, 2009 at 6:16 am
Mayor Minnet’s disgraceful performance in running the commission meetimg on Thurs night and her refusal to provide records for Greenfest which Minnet promised, has forced the most conservative member on the dais to call for an emergency meeting to demand that Mayor Minnet do her duty and control and establish decorum during town meetings or there will be a vote of the dais to take the gavel away. To show again BC’s absolute bais reporting, why is there not one word of Mayor Minnet’s deficiencies written by BC?
January 24, 2009 at 6:59 am
It would seem that BC wants nobody to get a break in this town . All BC wants to do is complain and spout “doom and gloom.” Instead of trying to think positive about our Palm Club residents getting sewers, BC tries to make it somehting it is not. Reliable sources have told our staff that on Thursday morning at 10;30, Commissioner McIntee met with the full Board Members of the Palm Club. During this meeting, one of the participants from the Palm Club has told us that the VM candidly told the Palm Club Board that he was going to do as much as he could to get a Federal Grant under the new “Shovel in the Ground Federal Grant Program” and the faster he could get the grant information accepted , the faster the chance of successfully obtaining the grant. That is why The Vice Mayor amended the agenda. It was also clearly stated at this meeting with the Palm Club Board that it was not a guarantee but the Vice Mayor vowed to do his best to get the Federal money.
January 24, 2009 at 7:44 am
BC flagrantly continues to place quotation marks around words which people never spoke . It would seem Bc should know better and perhaps be careful writing lies about what people did not say!
January 24, 2009 at 11:44 am
Dodd is so dumb and out of touch he voted “no” to further investigte Minnet’s finances with Greenfest. Minnet herself voted to continue the financial investigation. Vote was 4-1 with Dodd dissenting. BC’s shaking head in the audience directs Dodd whether to vote yes or no. You don’t even have to wait for the red or green lights on the voting board! Everyone knows the Bc head shake determines Dodd’s vote!
January 24, 2009 at 12:14 pm
BC GOT CAUGHT IN BC’S OWN LIES AND TRIED TO COVER UP
All along Bc demanded to know why there were no bathrooms in the pavilion and who made the decision to remove them. Certainly Bc put this in writing and BC wrote there was no vote of the commission to remove bathrooms. Now that it was proven that it was indeed the present Commission who voted to remove the bathrooms, bc is backpeddling, trying to cover up for the lies BC got caught in!. This is what Bc wrote on Dec. 26th .”…why did the pavilion…go ahead WITHOUT walls and BATHROOMS…WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OR APPROVAL OF THE COMMISSION?…The commission was left in the dark…they could not “make the decisions”…
BC got caught in BC’s own lies and and now is unsucessfully trying to cover up.
BC Deception never works. Whitewash! Your “clean-up” only made Bc and Dodd look like idiots. BC has dug an even bigger hole for BC and Dodd.It’s best not to deflect from the truth. That hole Bc dug is big enough for Both BC and Dodd and there is room in that hole for any one else going down with Bc.

January 24, 2009 at 7:46 pm
For first-time visitors to the slapbcbythesea sight I think it is important to clue you in on what this sight is all about. It is my understanding that the sight was created to counteract the lies written on a local blog produced by a character with the initials BC. This sight does not use anyone’s full name unless they are an elected official, which is then fair game.
BC surfaced in Town about 3 years ago and literally “wormed” BC”s way into position with the local preservation group, the CIC, and the town newspaper, by-the-Sea-Times, as well as the new-guard Commissioners.
During this time, BC was always mad at somebody…for a while BC ranted and raved against the travesties of the old-guard Commission…then when they were defeated…BC started ranting and raving against the new-guard Commission, by-the-Sea-times, and the CIC…all former allies.
BC is a chronic ranter and raver and has probably been that way for a very long time. BC’s pleasure is in trying to make others miserable. BC has Commissioner Dodd wrapped around her little finger, for some unexplainable reason…which is causing all the chaos on the dais.
If you watch Dodd at Commission meetings, it will be obvious that he is not the man people thought they were voting for…that is because of the negative influence of BC…who hates and hurts just for the fun of it.
The former supporters and backers of Dodd have all turned against him because of this. Most are so sorry they voted for him and many have asked for their campaign donations back. Dodd’s time on the dais will go down as a black mark in LBTS history.
So that is just a little update on why BC is so prominently featured on this site. Lies must be challenged and the truth be told. It is hard to believe a character can be so angry and vindictive as BC, but its true!
Most of us have been looking forward to a time of peace in LBTS after so much turmoil…but BC, Dodd, and their friend JT seem to have no peace in their hearts…they all thrive on negativity, attack, and ongoing war. I say Let There Be Peace in LBTS…and Let it begin now!
January 25, 2009 at 2:29 am
There is an EMERGENCY MEETING OF THE TOWN COMMISSION CALLED BECAUSE OF THE MAYOR”S REFUSAL TO PERFORM HER DUTIES TO MAINTAIN DECORUM AND ORDER AS CHAIR OF THE COMMISSION MEETINGS! Not one word from BC about the EMERGENCY MEETING AT 5 O’CLOCK ON MONDAY IN JARVIS HALL. and it’s OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Wouldn’t you say it is a bit hypocritical of BC? BC knows about the meeting, you can bet on it!
BC fails to give information if it is hurtful to Minnet or Dodd!
Come to the meeting.
January 25, 2009 at 7:38 am
Hmmmm…I know that it is now legal to have a home occupational licence. But I really wonder if operating a boat repair, storage, and delivery business out of the back of an expensive waterfront canal home is one of those allowed uses. I also wonder if it is allowable to rent out the dock space behind your waterfront home and if it is, would the renter be required to collect and file Florida State Sales Tax.
I wonder what would happen if a resident did any of the above without it being an allowable use. I wonder what would happen if a resident was doing any of the above and it did not happen to be an allowable use and that resident happened to be an elected official of the town?
To be continued…your move
January 25, 2009 at 9:40 am
Wow, Is BC an adult? Acting like a child ,BC’s Web site is full of pure hate,
calling names and copying pictures..BC needs to grow up! BCand Dodd seem evil. Wonder when the last time Bc had dinner at that restaurant?
BC will know what a roach is!

It is clear, people are shaking their heads all over town. It is our opinion they all are realizing en masse that BC has lost all reality and now on a deperate path of vengeance. When the Vice Mayor’s wife was called the derogatory, vicious name by a local rest owner, it is clear a line was crossed. The first reaction to this vicious attack at our Town Hall Meeting was that a massive support of the VM’s family skyrocketed to the surface by the other restaurant owners and citizens in town. They universally condemned the attack on the VM’s family and immediately shunned the attacker. BC is supporting this vicious verbal attack and is trying to make a joke out of an action that is unacceptable to all decent people. There has been a universal circling of the wagons in support of the VM’s family. Bc’s support of the disgraceful, verbal attacker seems to show how deeply Bc has driven down that path to oblivion. The minute Bc supported this uncouth verbal attack, Bc showed Bc’s position is to attack everybody
Bc chooses, condemn everybody Bc chooses and support the people who condemn as BC does. In conclusion, if anybody attacked Bc in the manner that the VM’s family was attacked, this site would support and defend the citizen attacked to the end.
January 26, 2009 at 12:34 am
This latest vicious verbal attack and support of that attack by Bc against the VM’s family member, demands the following question to be asked: Does the Rev. George Hunsaker, his wife Karen, and Loyola Gray, support this vicious kind of public vengenance? It is our opinion that all citizens must take a stance on family attacks.
January 26, 2009 at 1:31 am
Commissioner Dodd’s close association with Bc has taken Dodd’s political career to a new low. Bc led him to believe there was never a vote taken on the removal of the bathrooms in the pavilion by this present Commission or any Commission. When Dodd took Bc’s word, Dodd demanded answers of why the bathrooms were removed without his or other commission permission. and claimed this publicly, during Commissioner Comments . Dodd was proven wrong in front of the whole town. DODD VOTED TO REMOVE THE BATHROOMS along with the entire present Commission (voted 5-0) on July 8, 2008. Now Bc wants to take Dodd into a battle over newspaper stands. The problem is that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. It may be Commisioner Dodd runs a business out of his home that is illegal according to town codes. And of course , there is always the question: Has sales tax been collected and paid if this business has existed? So, if Comm Dodd keeps putting his faith in Bc, what next will be on Bc’s horizon to embarass him further? “Guilt by Association” is a common factor in our society. There are an awful lot of citizens who now believe that Comm Dodd was not truthful about his proclaimed Engineering Degree. Bc’s continual formula of attack, hate and vengenance is generating more and more people against Comm Dodd and his various political positions. There may soon be a request in a public paper that Comm Dodd produce his educational credentials establishing his level of education and producing his Engineering Degree that he stated he possesd during his election bid for Commission seat held by Former Vice Mayor John Yanni.

January 27, 2009 at 5:45 pm
How much crazier does it get with Commissioner Dodd ? At the decorum meeting, he says he does not have any idea what the meeting is about even though he has received a fully-informative agenda.
He complains that he has nothing prepared for the meeting but then goes on to read a “prepared statement” on the very subject….obviously “prepared” for him by someone else.
He does not believe there is any problem with lack of decorum and commends the Mayor on running excellent meetings. Ladies and Gentlemen this is called “sticking your head in the sand” and pretending that what is “out there” does not exist, never happened, what could you possibly be talking about???
The reason for Dodd’s ostrich trick (he does resemble an ostrich, doesn’t he?) is that Clottey’s main complaint was lack of control by audience members. And to whom is she referring to?
That would be incessant snickerer and childish brat, BC… the arguementative and nasty Greeks, and the equally yucky on all counts Bob Fl….
Because this sorted group are Dodd’s biggest supporters, he denies they have any culpability. This demonstrates a severe lack of integrity and Dodd does this with all his decision-making from the dais. The foundation of his decisions and discussions revolve around payback. BC and Dodd are “payback based” just like Oliver P was.
Now that the one year waiting period is up, it is time to consider recalling Dodd from office. Because he is “payback-based” he can never be trusted to do what is right for the town, only what furthers his and BC’s little egos and power trips. He was a mistake from the beginning and many were warned about him.
Ask yourself, what has Dodd ever done for this Town? He waltzed into office because of other people’s hard work. When he was Chair of the CIC, he contributed very little, all the work was done by others. He was the co-chair of July 4th but that was a joke, he did nothing.
And this is the man (and his other associate, BC) who is making critical decisions that will affect our lives in lauderdale-by-the-Sea today and for years to come. Why should we have to put up with 3 more years of him? A recall petition is the most potent form of disapproval citizens can make when they have been duped and lied to. Dodd has gone back on his campaign promises and thrown all those who voted for him under the bus.
Even if a recall petition does not end up rising to the legal sufficiency, instigating a recall on Dodd may be the only way for that “ostrich” to start pulling his head out of the sand and start respecting and representing the majority that elected him rather than using the power we all entrusted him with to represent one person’s (BC) agenda. If Dodd refuses to use that power ethically, I say we take it away from him!
January 29, 2009 at 11:02 am
The last few days of Bc’s postings appear to represenrt an almost paronia of fantasies, lies and untruthfulness. Plageristic use of copied , illegal photos may express the mind of a confused person . It leaves any individual looking at this site with a queation. Who is this nut? Page after page of gobbly gook. To even attempt to read this dribble is a strenuos task for anyone. It is clear people are abandoning Bc left and right. Commissioner Clottey has seen the light and Comm Dodd is hopeless by foolishly listening to Bc’s orders.
January 29, 2009 at 11:29 am
A recent blog stated poor Comm Dood never got the info from the town manager about the pavilion. Whoo is me! Whoo is me! Poor Dodd, Poor Dodd! He blames everyone but himself and he looks to Bc to provide him with all the correct info. Bc seems so foolish , Bc can’t seem to tell the difference between the truth and a lie anymore and Bc does not tell Dodd the true facts, making him look ever more foolish. Then BC tells Dodd that no comm ever took a vote on no bathrooms in the pavilion.. Dodd refuses to believe the proven truth even though he witnessed the July 8, 2008 video with his own eyes. He voted for no bathrooms. Well the whole town found out that videos don’t lie. The town comm voted on july 8, 2008–no bathrooms 5-0! The funniest part of this chapter is that bc tried to claim Bc knew about the “No Bathroom” vote. Why didn’t Bc tell Dodd? Bc’s recent writings prove Bc never knew about the “no Bathroom” vote, yet after the video was played , Bc tried to say bc knew about the vote.. I think it seems that Dodd’s continual acceptance of Bc’s false info as fact is
already establishing that Bc has turned Dodd into a washed up looser.
How many more times do Bc and Dodd need to view the video before they face reality?
January 29, 2009 at 11:41 am
There is no speed limit for truth in LBTS but clearly the continual rambling and posturing of Bc’s blog will assure that individual will never receive a ticket for speeding. Crediblity and trust is something that is earned by your fellow man. In the case of Bc , week after week, as the statements are proven as lies, Bc’s credibilty diminishes rapidly and those associated with Bc are searching for escape routes ,They seem to be fleeing in full speed from Bc’s envirnoment in an attempt to be disassociated with a pariah.
January 29, 2009 at 12:14 pm
The desparation of Bc seems to be clearly expressed by Bc’s desparate demand and cry for attention. Bc reaches far back to old news and old e-mails. A privileged communication was sent to Bc over a year ago and in the hate filled world of Bc, Bc chooses to use that e-mail to attack a citizen in our town. Something that all of us must must realize is Bc has not earned any right to dictate the way everything should be contolled in our town. Bc has only been here 3 years and for over a year of that time, Bc seems to have been nothing but a demogue, hate slinger and overall just plain , mean creature. What gives Bc or any person the right to tell an extremely competent town manger who has over 12 years of experience here, how to run her office? Bc clearly has a vendetta against the town manager, the vice mayor and practically every member of the town work force. The result is that all those town employees seem to sense Bc’s attack mentality and want no part of Bc. The collateral damage here is now that Comm Dodd is probably looked at as the most despised Comm in the history of LBTS. That result seems to clearly lie at the hands of Bc who created this deplorable atmosphere for comm dodd. The biggest town civic organization which put their faith and hope in comm dodd were the beginning of the end of his career when he turned on those who did trust him and supported him in his first and probably last election.
January 29, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Dodd, a mature in age man who is an elected official last meeting basically whined about all these problems he is having doing his job in order to place blame on someone else.
My question is if the mayor knew they would be voting for no bathrooms, as she made a very clear point of saying it before the vote; and she took office the same time he did, then why in the hell could he not know, plus the others had no problem with it? I know why – because he spends all his time with Bc trying to find new ways to hate on the VM &amr; the VFD leaving no time to do his job!
The fact is he is the only one out of the 5 who has these problems. I have the solution – resign like you wanted Parker to do and we will elect someone who can do the job! I didn’t vote for a whiner I voted for a doer.

January 29, 2009 at 10:20 pm
BC’s public comments defending the accusation Bc made that the town manager was not doing her job regarding how the pavilions were voted on and how she caused all this work for town staff via Dodd is inexcusable. First of all Bc is not the press. Bc does have freedom of speech as we all do, but not freedom to lie and not be called out for it. Bc can’t act like the press and when caught lying make the excuse Bc is only an individual protected under the freedom of speech. For an example, Bc used what the New York times wrote against Bush and what would happen if he had to defend himself each time they wrote a lie on him. I’m still in a a daze about that one.
Bc is not fooling us anymore. Dodd must refuse to be continually used by BC. He is not able to do his job as clearly shown by all these problems he said he has but no other commissioner seems to have. Only need to ask who directed him?
January 30, 2009 at 7:16 am
Great men like Martin Luther King say inspirational things such as “I Have a Dream”.
Petty men like Commissioner Dodd focus on negative, doom and gloom things like “I Have a Problem” as he did 18 or so times during his Commissioner Comments.
Well, Commissioner Dodd, we the residents are letting you know we have a problem with you! We will continue to ask the tough questions!
And we will expect answers! And follow-up Reports! And when we get answers and reports we will act as if it never happened and chastise you in public for not following through! And if it should be proven to us that you have answered and followed through and we simply forgot to pick up the information in our mailboxes, we will still contend that it was all a conspiracy and call for heads to roll.
Now as to the tough questions to you. #1 Can you produce your degree in mechanical engineering to verify your campaign literature? #2 Do you have a home occupational license for your boat business? #3 If so, do you list on that licence that you have more than a home office but that also you repair boats, store boats, and receive and ship boats from the dock behind your waterfront home? Do you know that doing this is strictly prohibited by Town Ordinance? #4 Do you use your dock space for boat rental, and if so, do you collect and submit the required sales tax?
It has been reported to us by numerous reliable witnesses that you do engage in this illegal activity in violation of Town Codes and that there is even photo documentation of this violation taking place.
Please submit your answers to the preceding inquisition complete with full documentation and detailed back-up material at the next Commission meeting in February under Presentations. We are only looking out for what is in the best interest of the Town and these rumors must be cleared up once and for all to the satisfaction of every town resident for everyone to proceed forward.
Thank You,

YOU HEARD OF DOUBTING THOMAS. WE HAVE DOUBTING DODD!Dodd complains he’s being left in the dark, not knowing what’s happening. Dodd writes after the meeting, “I now hear a memo was placed in my mailbox that very morning.”
Our reply; Dodd must have SELECTIVE LISTENING because Ms. Colon said at the commission meeting that there was info placed in the commissioners’ boxes before the meeting. Play the video if in doubt!
Yes, we have a problem with Doubting Dodd!
January 30, 2009 at 10:49 pm
MORE OF DODD”S WHINING:
“When I hear the ATV is broken and out of action and i get told “routine maintenance” and not even the town manager knows about it-Doesn’t sit well with me…”
Our reply: Does that mean Comm dodd is going to want a report of every broken piece of town equipment? The town’s new street sweeper was broken last week. Dodd better get a handle on that one!
The town manager has more pressing issues.
January 31, 2009 at 12:01 am
CRYING CONTINUES: Dodd says,”When I ask the town manager a simple question-Who changed …from bathrooms to no bathrooms…”
Our reply: AGAIN, The July 8,2008 video on government site clearly shows that DODD HIMSELF and the four other commissioners all VOTED “NO” FOR BATHROOMS and were told specifically that there were no bathrooms. Is Dodd deaf, dumb and blind or maybe just plain stupid?
Dodd:”When I find the Vice Mayor taking up staff time to try to answer my question to the town manager,his answer July 8th did actually raise more questons since it appeared only the mayor knew of the change.”
Our reply: If Comm Dodd would have done his homework like the Vice Mayor and had the intelligence to know that he voted”No Bathrooms”he would not have looked so utterly incompetent! He continues to look even more incompetent as he is puppeteered.
January 31, 2009 at 12:10 am
Yes, THIS IS DODD”S PROBLEM AND PEOPLE WANT THEIR ANSWER !
Dodd now calls himself “A SYSTEMS ANALYST”
People’s Reply: Why suddenly has Dodd gone from a GRADUATE ENGINEER that he claimed himself as during his election bid, to now calling himself “a systems analyst”?? Could it be he is once again caught in a massive lie to the people? The people need the truth Comm dodd. Can’t dodd even find time to put his biography on the town’s government website? He claims he is so busy!
January 31, 2009 at 12:15 am
Bc seems to add to the Whines: who said “The chair’s ruling…and the right to call a commissioner by name during public comments…’Claining chair was wrong in decision. ?
Our reply:The question was not calling a commissioner by name. It was a personal attack that generated the attack to be stopped! Thanh You Madame Mayor for your correct decision as the chair.
January 31, 2009 at 12:24 am
DOUBTING DODD: “When I find the VFD have totally disregarded their S.O.P.”s and or by-laws and elected the Vice mayor for Deputy chief…”
REPLY: Vice Mayor Mcintee on the dias clearly explained the process which was approved by the whole department which allowed the VM to run for D.C. The D.C. falls in category which allows him to run for office. VM was asked to run for office. McIntee has a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience in the fire fighting field. No one else has the hands on experience and vast training experiences and he is presently in the exact position he should be in for the safety of the citizens of LBTS.
The Town Manager does not interfer with the internal affairs of private corporations that contract with the town.
January 31, 2009 at 12:44 am
HE IS SUCH A BUSY KINDA GUY: Dodd claims he is such a busy man –from work to home, grab a sandwich and out the door to the meeting-
Yet he shows up at the meetings with pages and pages of prepared statements which he reads verbatim. When, where and how does Dodd find the time to write these pages of prepared statements of attack mentality, always placing the blame on someone else, never accepting responsibility???!!!
It was totally humorous (at the Special Town Meeting called by Commissioner Clottey to demand decorum)when the Mayor called on Dodd to speak next. Dodd refused and said he DID NOT KNOW why the meeting was called and VM McIntee was prepared(apparently looking over McIntee’s shoulder and seeing prepared info) McIntee agreed to speak next and then McIntee read Dodd the notice which was given to each commissioner LONG BEFORE THE MEETING, explaining in black and white why the meeting was called. After McIntee spoke, it was Dodd’s turn. Dodd, who previuosly claimed he did not know what the meeting was about, READ VERBATIM FROM A PREPARED STATEMENT HE HAD IN FRONT OF HIM! “You can fool some of the people some of the time…”
NO CONSPIRACY FACTOR HERE. JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DODD CLAIMING HE WAS LEFT OUT IN THE DARK WHEN THE INFO WAS GIVEN TO ALL COMMISSIONERS. Yes, Dodd, we have a problem with your tactics!
January 31, 2009 at 12:48 am
WHINE, WHINE AND MORE WHINE…
Dodd:”I will get answers to my questions even if I have to go out and do my own research…”

Silverstone adn McIntee left the meeting early, what BC forgot to memtion is that Dodd never even showewd up. Both those Commissioners went to the same kind of meeting in past with the same speaker. Of the audience of 50 there were only 5 elected olfficials there and the rest committee members. BC is so hateful and evil she just doesn’t want the truth out. 4 of the 5 elected officisla were from LBTS it was a meeting for new elected officials and committee members
February 1, 2009 at 12:05 am
It is time all heard how difficult and irrational Comm. Dodd is becoming under the control of BC. The items he reads on the dais are all pre written for him, not his words but BC’s, they are usually multiple sets of notes with two different types of wrting on each. He reads those verbatim with no independent thought. The last e mail sent to town demanding another round table just yesterday is a doozy. Dodd wants to attack the Palm Club, attack the decision to do the work on N tradewinds, attack the decision on Sea Grape work and wants the ( CRAZY ) citizens to have the right to call a point of order from the audience to the Dais. BC next move will be to tell Dodd to allow the citizens to make motions. BC wants these meetigns to run 15 hours, BC seems to be a cancer of hate and trouble and justs gets worst. It is clear BC does not want peace at the meetings and it is clear Bc is back stabbing Clotty by having Dodd start all this trouble. The last meeting ran great and now Dodd and BC are unhappy for you see they like chaos that is their mean world.
February 1, 2009 at 12:22 am
The list of groups and people who want no part of BC is growing everyday. BC has become a stalker in this town sneaking around the town, day and night taking photos of the VM, the Fire dpeartment, town employees working, the town manager, any and everyone Bc can try and hurt. This kind of action displays a degree of what many would call paranoia and just plain crazy actions. The results, no one in town hall will talk to Bc unless they have to by protocol, Bc has burnt every bridge in town by back stabbing and twisting the words of their communications. The CIC now a group of over 250 families has been attcked daily by this mean creature and they obviosuly have feeling toward BC that could not be printed. The disease that I see Bc seems to possess is called “Public castration”. Bc’s, , M.O. is to join a group, if Bc cannot control, turn on the group and then condemn that group. Same with friends, no control then condemn. Let us talk about friends, Bc has turned one of the friends BC has, into a spewed of discontent, the sad part is that person is a Rev. and bc seems to be destroying his reputation by association, walk like a duck ,quack like a duick etc.. If we really cut to the point BC is not a likeable person, Bc is not fun to be around. Anyone who puts 28 packs of sweet and low on bacon cant be all bad. Yes BC can be bad and seems to be trying really hard to be really bad! The people Bc surrounds herself now with were her enemies of the past. BC should think of what the French people did to the collaborators that went over to the NAZI’s. They became outcasts and were shunned by the society the collaborattors tried to live in. BC is now being shunned by that society and rightly so. So the soap opera goes on but we all know good will always triumph over evil.

Looks like BC is schilling for Rossi jewelry. what we hear from many is that if they support BC, evil and mean attacks on all town employees and many residents. They will never shop at Rossi Jewelry, someone should tell ROSSI this kind of asssociation couald hurt her business.
February 1, 2009 at 6:45 am
BC is complaining about the VFD going in shorts to calls. Bc better look at BSO police they wear shorts all the time. The VFD at least has a change of clothes to put on at fire scenes.
February 1, 2009 at 6:46 am
BC is pushing jewelry sales from ROSSI, not good for Rossi this will drive customers away no one wants association with anything BC does.

“THE LIAR’S PUISHMENT IS NOT IN THE LEAST THAT HE IS NOT BELIEVED , BUT THAT HE CANNOT BELIEVE ANYONE.”-George Bernard Shaw
February 1, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Bc worries about “others” spending your tax dollars but Bc and Dodd don’t even blink an eye when it comes to those two spending your tax dollars. The town staff spends hours and days looking for and finding info. When the truthful info is presentd IN “BLACK AND WHITE”, it seems they experience, “THE LIAR’S PUNISHNENT.” Let us not forget mark brown of the futures paper who also has wasted tax dollars by making town employees spend hours and hours of valuable time researching info so hate can be promoted instead of moving the town ahead for the benefit of all of us.
February 2, 2009 at 10:00 am
i am experiencing utter disgust with Bc and Bc’s accounting of the story of a murder in our town a few years ago. Has Bc absolutely no feelings for the decent family members living today,associaed with this story?
Bc seems to worry about anyone knowng Bc’s private life. Perhaps, if i were Bc, I’d worry about people finding out about my private life too! Bc has made it known that no one is to know Bc’s medical records but seems to show utter disregard when it comes to Bc releasing info of neighbors. Bc does not want any information released about Bc or Bc’s family members if, for example, one of Bc’s family members tripped down the stairs and broke their ankle, No one is to know! BUT Bc does not seem to have a care in the world about telling or retelling information that is hurtful to our neighbors and should be laid to rest! It seems to look like Bc has no decency at all!

February 3, 2009 at 1:31 am
For BC to claim there is a “game” being played in town relating to the VM’s reactions during the meetings seems only to be a veiled attempt to cover BC’s total and complete infatuation with him and now Bc seems not interested in trying to hide Bc’s feelings. Welcome to the mind of a grade schooler!
Taking Bc’s seemingly evil actions one step further, Bc has opened a wound in order to hurt a kind person who does not need any more pain. The reason Bc would do this ? Bc does not seem to care who Bc hurts and seems to get some kind of perverse pleasure from Bc’s actions.
February 3, 2009 at 10:39 pm
It is a sad day in LBTS that someone would attempt to destroy the solitude and personal world of a woman who has gone through so much. The wife of the convicted murdrer is one of the niceest ladies in our town. She volunteers, helps whenever asked and when you talk to her you are impressed with how polite and friendly she is and this just personafies a woman just trying to get along and live her life. Now out of the blue BC puts it all back in the public eyes, for the record, BC knows the woman and worked with her in the past. BC knows what a kind soul this kind woman is. That seems to mean nothing to BC just attack, hurt, slam anything to gain attention. WE have heard that the posting of this terrible event hit the wife terribly hard, it was a tremendous emotional blow to a soft kind hearted woman. WE ask all of you what is the purpose of bringing up this dirt? The answer can only be one seemingly simple statement -” look at the source “, BC seems hates everyone and everyone is a target. SAD SAD SAD.

Bc should get a life..on BC, Dodd the Heros web site bc says BC is not going away. Bc we do not want you to go away. We will not have you
to laugh at or talk about. Now lets talk grammar and typeset. BC must sit
all day typing word for word for the death to read . You can watch it live on your computer. Why would one waste so much of ones life with this? But if this is all you have to live for ,we feel sorry for you..Please do not stop..keep up the childish behavior..
February 5, 2009 at 11:16 am
Why does Bc continue to call the less formal gathering and conversations of the 5 commissioners, “Commission Round Table?’ It is identified on the town site as, Commission Conference.” But let’s pretend it was the ‘Knights of the Round Table”. Let’s witness the setting and the knights sitting around a table that was actually round and not rectangular like the one the commissioners sit around for their lovefest (or NOT)! All knights at the court of King Arthur , each possess equal value. After a little Round Table research, let’s roleplay:
SIR DINADAN: “Good Night Without Fear”, prefers to avoid fights but is a brave warrior of good humor. COMMISSIONER SILVERSTONE
SIR GALAHAD: Gallantry and purity-COMMISSIONER CLOTTEY
SIR MORHOLT: A warrior who demands tribute until slain-MAYOR MINNET
SIR ECTOR: Is the foster father of King Arthur who sees through lies and remains loyal to the king. VICE MAYOR MCINTEE
SIR MORDRED: Destroyer of the kingdom and known as a notorious traitor who fought King Arthur. COMMISSIONER STUART DODD
So you see each character played out. It is better called the correct title, COMMISSION CONFERENCE.
February 5, 2009 at 11:27 am
Did we somehow miss …Here’s the scoop…2/3/09…Commission Round Table…Commissioner Dodd Needs To Solve All His Problems That Only He Experiences…???????
WELL!!!!!
February 5, 2009 at 11:48 am
Commissioner Dodd continues his attack on VFD. Does Dodd even have one VFD supporter left in his corner? Not likely,I say NO!
Any report from Dodd on the new sweeper which broke down? Commissioner Dodd, Don’t forget to read the sweeper manual ,call the distributor,call the repairman, call the driver and make sure all sweeper drivers take a certified sweeper driver course before they get behind the wheel! You swept yourself off your own unsteady feet on this one! Find something constructive to do for the town.
February 5, 2009 at 11:49 am
While the new news is that BC pushed Dodd to go big time on ATV, blaming the VFD for the breakdown. While that backfired now all will see Dodd was on a witch hunt for his buddy, BC. The GPS report clearly shows Dodd lied. The top speed before getting mired in sand was 11.2 miles per hour. Not the claim of BC and Dodd that the driver was speeding and caused the damage. BC keeps giving Dodd these big ideas that keep on making Dodd look like a SCHMUCK. Poor Dodd only friend left is BC , acting mean and nasty.
February 5, 2009 at 11:53 am
BC was seen trying to talk to several people in building, they just walked by Bc and did not answer bc. Looks like BC is not welcome in building BC lives in. Latest trouble Bc is going to get Dodd in, is recent agenda items. Word is out, and 60 people are coming to attack Dodd at next meeting about going back on a Commissiln decision. BC cries I did not get my way and Dodd puts it on agenda and tries to change it. There is an earth quake starting in old town and BC caused it and Dodd will pay. Look out Clotty bc will take you down too.
February 5, 2009 at 11:58 am
The lowest attack to date by BC was embarassing new slimy low. One of the nicest woman in town. A kind gentle person, volunteer, would do anything for her fellow man. BC choose to put her through the terrible turmoil that she has lived with for years again. Her husband was convicted of murder. BC tries to cast a shadow over this man’s family and brings out all the dirty details again. BC seems to have no compassion. Bc seems to be nothing more than a despicable person. MY HEART GOES OUT tO THE WIFE. BC please leave town you hurt too many people. There is no good you do, just seemingly mean and nasty things.
February 5, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Decorum is a part of our town charter. Decorum is polite and socially correct behavior. Minnet admitted she cannot restrain the public…angry,critical or adverse… She can say that again! Many times we have seen meetings out of control due to Minnet’s lack of control. Makes sense for her to want a free for all. No need to control!!!Suppressing freedom of speech is a bogus excuse for allowing personal attacks. She said before she should brush up on Robert’s Rules. Yes, knowing the rules helps! Read Robert’s Rules on personal attacks. Who was being rude and making annoying noises at the “Round Table?” Was that Bc? How rude!
Clottey says its ok to call another ignorant. Let it happen to her and let’s see her attitude change! Are the Comissioners who favor personal attacks ready to get an earfful against themselves? Dodd could get citizens lining up out the door telling him he flip-flopped and he is a traitor. People could stand before him and demand him to repay the campaign money he took under false pretense! Minnet has Greengate under her belt. Talk about unity, this about as far away from the subject as you can get.
February 6, 2009 at 2:11 am
WHY hasnt the Vice Mayor or his Mo begun legal proceeding against BC? Its seems quite apparent that BC is slandering both of them. The Future tries to walk the tight rope. BC seems to have fallen off that rope and it makes zero sense why Jim or Mo have not started litigation over the despicable things writen and done to them by BC. We must unite and offer ALL the support we can to Jim N MO its time to stop sitting back and let BC try to ruin reputations of some of the finest people ever to live here in this paradise. The Futrues and BC are a match made in He**
February 6, 2009 at 5:08 am
Do not question or attack Dodd in anyway or Bc will write in Bc’s self serving blog what a looser you are and attack you personally.
bc has now gone after Silverstone by calling him a cricket trying to be cleaver as it’s very similar to a cockroach because of what bc thinks he said about Bc’s Dodd. Bc said he wants oversight with Dodd but not the VFD.
What Silverstone said about what should be done to work out Dodd’s problem was exactly the same thing for the VFD.
He said on the VFD – if you want to do it right get an outside firm to do a professional study/overview of the VFD. Not a bunch of local biased volunteers that have little idea of the service.
What does he say should be done for Dodd? Bring in an outside facilitator to address his BS.
He makes perfect sense.
This shows bc’s true colors which have not changed.
Town garbage shall hereby be defined as anyone associated with Bc or the Futures group way of thinking. It represents the dark side of town.
February 6, 2009 at 9:29 am
Bc seems to believe Bc’s readers are THE SCARECROW character straight from the storybook, The Wizard of Oz! The Scarecrow would be a perfect example, for as you remember, The SCARECROW HAD NO BRAIN. Bc tells readers what to think, Those with no brain would be perfect bait! NO BRAIN, think as I say!
Would you think Bc would be a perfect pick for the TINMAN character in the story? The TINMAN IS THE CHARACTER WITH NO HEART!
February 6, 2009 at 9:38 am
Bc criticizes Commissioner Silverstone’s Biography on the town website because it is not perfectly updated. Instead of helping Dodd, Bc stirs up more doubts and criticism about Dodd and continues to cause Dodd more grief. Bc failed to tell you that Commissioner Dodd’s did not even bother to enter his biography on the town website. It does not exist. People still are asking if Dodd even possesses the engineering degree he claimed he earned ? Does any such engineering degree exist in Dodd’s name?

“The power of lying is much less than the power of what is not discussed.” Mason Cooley
Bc only prints bits and pieces of what Bc wants you to read. bc then spins and flips and writes what she seems to observe, so often wrong!. Bc seems to have the sixth sense, whereby telling readers what others are thinking or feeling!
Bc avoids writing about what bc does not want you to hear or read. How could anyone spend time reading Bc’s rendition of what happened at various meetings when you can go directly to the town website and hear conversations first hand. http://www.lauderdalebythesea-fl.gov Think for yourself. You are intelligent individuals who can hear what is said and make up your own minds instead of Bc trying to mislead and dictate Bc’s thoughts to anyone who will listen.
February 6, 2009 at 9:56 am
Bc cannot accept the fact that Vice Mayor McIntee was elected Deputy Fire Chief by an overwhelmining majority of the VFD firefighters—Fair and square. Get over it Bc !
February 6, 2009 at 10:03 am
“ROCKING THE BOAT”‘, bc says of Dodd. Try agin bc, Dodd is more like a “SINKING SHIP”
February 6, 2009 at 10:12 am
Bc writes,(pun intended), (pun intended),(pun intended),over and over . If Bc has to tell readers,(pun intended) ,It seems bc’s so-called pun must be rather ineffective, boring and not worth reading! Again Bc seems to treat readers as imbeciles, not able to think, unless bc tells them what to think!
February 6, 2009 at 10:16 am
Bc talks about body movements and decorum at commissiom meetings. How about the lady who sat in front of Bc? This lady had to turn around several times to ask bc to be quiet! COULD YOU BELIEVE BC TOLD THE LADY TO MOVE?
February 6, 2009 at 10:22 am
bc, Can’t you get the facts? Commissioner Silverstone has said he does his homework, but he does not bring prepared notes to read verbatim. Dodd reads verbatim,pages of notes in front of him. Oftentimes, it appears Dodd is reading these notes for the very first time. bc has been seen handing Dodd notes as he enters Jarvis hall minutes before the start of the commission meeting.

Looks like BC is imploding, word is Dodd had major words with her and Bc is finding circle 0f people who will even talk to her is down to a few. BC has lost all credibility and has destroyed Dodd and his career. BC sure was just the kind of help a new politiciian doesnt need. BC your blog is full of lies and emany realize you are not here to help the town but to do nothing but complain and stir trouble up and condem. Clotty just think if you keep associating with BC you could be in the same soup Dodd is in, guilt by association. BC seems to be nothing but TROUBLE.
February 6, 2009 at 10:24 pm
why has Dodd turned his back on his constituancy? why is he looking to ridicule our VFD every chance he can? why has Dodd and BC formed an alliance to disparage our fine VM? well mr dodd…………..WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT!!!!!!!!

DOUBTING DODD ONCE AGAIN FORGETS WHAT COMMISSION AGREED
IF WE ARE GOING TO CALL THE COMMISSION CONFERENCE, THE ROUND TABLE, THEN EACH KNIGHT WILL BE IDENTIFIED BY HIS CHARACTERISTICS AND ROLEPLAYING NAME.
Commissioner Dodd (SIR MORDRED”THE DESTROYER OF THE KINGDOM” AND KNOWN AS A NOTORIOUS TRAITOR)
was asked by the Town Manager as well as all commissioners at a commission meeting on 12/16/08 if they would like to see the finished product of the flagpole base when complete. The commissioners responded ,”NO.” The town manager was given the GO AHEAD BY THE COMMISSION WITH DODD SAYING,”JUST GET IT DONE.”
Dodd(Sir Mordred,THE TRAITOR)stated at the Round Table that again he was, shall we say”LEFT IN THE DARK?”… and the commission did not finalize????? STOP ACCUSATIONS, STOP WITCH HUNTS, SIR MORDRED,THE TRAITOR! You ok’d the town manager to,”JUST GET IT DONE.”

February 8, 2009 at 7:17 am
BC is really looking for legal problems now, BC seems to be accusing the vice mayor of going around making fires. That is accusing him of committing a felony with no proof. That is way over the line, I hope he goes after BC, a jury would give him a bundle for something like that.
February 8, 2009 at 7:26 am
BC now is insinuating that the Condo fire, our VFD put out was a suspicious fire. BC wants you to believe they set a fire the day of grand opening of new complex to highlight what a good job they did. This is so crazy BC should be flogged in public. To accuse our volunteers of setting any fire, especially a fire in an occupied builidng is outrageous. Dodd must have agreed with this claim who should have defended the VFD against this slander. BC seems really to be a hate filled mean spirited person. If Bc thinks mentioning businesses in Bc’s blog will help them BC is nuts. Reliable sources have told many that Rossi jewelers has told BC dont mention them, They are in fear of a town wide boycott. Sea Watch is getting a message from many saying, if you support BC you support hate and evil. BC is probably the most disliked evil mean person in town
February 8, 2009 at 7:35 am
BC here is a scoop for you. We just found out how the volunteer fire department set the CONDO on fire the day of the Safety Complex opening. First they had FPL turn the power off to the apartment that burnt. A secret operative of the VFD then got workmen inside the apartment to put alot of building debree on the electric burners. They then had to leave the apartment. Then another secret operative of the VFD went into the vacant CONDO and turned two of the electric stove burners on full. Finally they got to their inside man at FPL and told him to turn the power back on to the apartment with the burners on high and now turning cherry red, igniting the debree on the stove. WaLa the place catches on fire all the VFD members were ready to go. They put the fire out and saved the day. BC you were right the VFD is a bunch of arsonist you are so smart and your wisdom so intense.
BC should be ashamed the above report is just how the accidental fire started, VFD played no part in the fire except to put it out, and to insinuate that the VFD set this fire is criminal.
February 8, 2009 at 7:38 am
There is one unahppy 300 pound man in town. BC has caused a problem and Dodd will get a verbal blasting when he meets up with this guy. BC claimed through Dodd that the ATV broke because of high speed fooling around. The GPS report came back and shows top speed before sinking in sand at 11.2 MPH The guy driving that machine now wants to tell Dodd off for blaming him and trying to make him the fall guy for something that was nothing more then a mechanical failure. Dodd owes the VFD and this man a BIG BIG apology.
February 8, 2009 at 7:41 am
Well BC, you made Dodd a copmplete fool again. BC pushed Dodd to complain about welcome sign and he was the one who OKD it again. BC is killing Dodd everything he does makes him look like a Schmuck. BC is wasting valuable town time and things that he can’t even remember voting on. DODD IS A PUPPET TO BC AND A VERY POOR ACT TO SAY THE LEAST.
February 9, 2009 at 10:03 am
THE LAST POST BY bc WAS TRULY A RAMBLING ON OF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IMPORTANT. Seems bc HAS LOST ALL CREDIBILITY, PEOPLE ALL OVER TOWN ARE TURNING HER OFF.THE PATH OF ENEMIES bc HAS CREATED GROWS EVERYDAY. Seems bc IS A INDIVIDUAL WHOSE DEEP SEATED HATE IS BURNIG THROUGHOUT THIS INDIVIDUAL. bc HAS DESTROYED dODD’S CAREER AND NOW CLOTTY IS NEXT. It appears ANY BUSINESS ASSOCIATED WITH BC WILL BE BOYCOTED BY MANY. HEARD ROSSI ALREADY TOLD BC TO0 DISAPPEAR SHE WAS AFRAID OF ALL THE BAD PRESS BC WAS BRINGING ON HER STORE. ROSSI IS SMART, ESPECIALY IN THIS ECONOMY.

February 10, 2009 at 8:21 pm
If Bc spent anytime on finding comparisons between our FD and other FD’s Bc would realize how good we have it. But Bc is only turned in on attacking McIntee because Bc gets the attention from the people who want him out due to believing he is in the way of them doing what they want. They fail to see that the people have spoken and they will not allow it. But if they saw this reality it would give them no hope and that hurts to much to acknowledge. A big waste of time and for what?
February 13, 2009 at 12:11 pm
BC is certainly reaching for straws. BC is all over the place about Vol. fire department. BC will not admit the VFD is doing a great job. Dodd must be brain dead if he keeps attacking the VFD BC is pushing him to make a fool of himself again. They put the fire out saved the building from major damage and no one got serousily hurt. What does BC want, BC wants trouble, and hate and miscontent ,BC seems to be a hate monger. Look at BC recent writing all hate and more hate. Not one nice thing to say about town or the people working in town. BC seems to be the most hated person in town and BC has destoyed Dodd with this hate.
February 13, 2009 at 12:16 pm
The baby pouts again, After last Coimmission meeting BC was left alone with Dodd and wife and everyone else went out together. Wow Clotty and McIntee the Furths, Joe C all at a table laughing and smiling and enjoying themselves. BC’s table, no smile on laughter no happiness. That is becaus BC has a cloud of hate around BC and it dampens everyones
world BC is near. If BC knew what was being said about BC at the Clotty table BC would aim BC’s venon at someone beside the VM. It is so sad no one wants anyting to do with BC but poor Dodd does not know how to get rid of BC. The sacrifices that man has made with the destructiron of his career and credibility in this town is all on the shoulders of BC.
February 13, 2009 at 12:20 pm
BC wonders where the new position on giving BC information from the VFD came from. Comm. Clotty at a meeting clearly stated that the VFD was not obligated to give out that info that BC is asking for. No one wants to deal with BC ,even Comm. Clotty is gettying opinions from other sources to determine if the requests BC is making are legal. The expert told Clotty those requests were not acceptable. So BC another source of your meaness is drying up because third parties are coming to the defense of the VFD against your continual attacks. Keep on attacking the VFD it will keep on winning you more friends.
February 13, 2009 at 12:24 pm
When all is said and done, it is clear that the writings of BC our getting more extreme then ever. Page after page of dribble. BC seems to have lost it and is now down to a few people pushing BC’s attacks forward not because they support BC but because they can use BC. A recent board of director of the Sea Ranch stated to many, that everyone is sea ranch will not talk infront of BC anymore, they dont trust the veracity of what is written about their statements. WE must ask how would you like to live in a home where all your neighbors are shunning you?
February 13, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Sorry for the hiatus our staff had to take for a few days. We can only attribute that break to the fact, that we are not the Zealots of hate like the personna that BC seems to project. A break away from these retorts is a necessity for peace of mind. In the future because BC is now writing so much dribble we will probable respond in groups rather then every day.
February 14, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Dear Readers: Please try my new mental exercise plan. Stop going to BC’s website. Just like BC,BC’s site, feeds on negativity and lies, just like sensationalist supermarket trash like the “Tattler” does…made up of twisted stuff just trying to hook the reader.
If you need a blog fix, only go to the Sun-Sentinenel Topix blog and Slapsite. There are more varied opinions. You get enough of the scuttle-but of the day but not a BC overdose which is really not good for your mental, emotional, or physical health.
After about a week ,if you even think of going back to BC’s website, you will notice a queasy feeling in your stomach and that is your confirmation that reading what BC writes can make you sick.
I feel much better being BC-free and, trust me, you will too!
p.s. please slapbc, keep posting every day, that is what we look forward to to brighten our day!

IT APPEARS TO BE A TRULY SAD DAY FOR BC ON THIS VALENTINES DAY. DON’T THE PSYCHOLIGISTS SAY THE HOLIDAYS ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT? EVEN ON THIS VERY HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, BC SEEMS AS THOUGH BC IS ONLY CAPABLE OF MOCKING HAPPINESS, LOVE, KISSES, , “PINK FLUFFY HEARTS.” WHILE CONTINUING TO CONDEMN, CRITICIZE,AND DEMEAN DECENT PEOPLE.
IT SEEMS THE ONLY FEEL BC HAS OF CUIPD’S ARROW IS WHEN BC SHOOTS BC IN THE FOOT WHICH HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS, NOT JUST ON FEBRUARY 14TH.
“SLAP” PREFERS LOVE, HAPPINESS, LAUGHTER, FRIENDSHIP AND TRUTH OVER “SPINS’, LIES AND MAKING UNFOUNDED STATEMENTS AS IF THEY WERE THE TRUTH.
COME ON, LET’S ALL GET HAPPY!
February 15, 2009 at 2:02 am
While we think the time is near, BC seems to be going off the cliff. Ranting and raving, about the VM the By The Sea times the Town manager the town attorney. Paragraph after paragraph of attacks and frivolous claims. Poor BC thinks BC is a traffic cop now. Think of someone that goes on and on calling people names this. Is this a sick puppy? HATE HATE AND MORE HATE, that is all BC appears to know. Never a decent thing to say about anyone. Commissioner Clotty, Commissioner Dodd are you reading this crap? BC is seemingly acting like the anti christ. How can someone have so much hate? It ouzes from BC pores. The whole town is seeing this piriah for what BC is, just seems to be a mean spoiled sick person with nothing to do but cause trouble everywhere Bc goes.
February 15, 2009 at 2:13 am
I just got done looking at BC latest post. Bc appears to be clearly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. After the third paragraph I just gave up all that is coming from BC is the same old same old. Is it clearly time BC seeked medical attention? Could anyone go on and on with those thousands of words, saying absolutely nothing but hate filled rehtoric without having a serious mental problem? I did read the BTST and felt it was a very fair paper with facts and truth to back it up. BC justs attacks that paper mainly becaue it is the opposite of the way BC presents things. BC seems so clouded with this malice against the town and the VM that BC seems to have lost all sense of balance, just one sided venon of hate comning from the desk of BC. I had several friends that all avoid BC like the plague now they are fearful BC will attack them next. What a way to live with so many in town hating you. At this point I hope BC seeks help and tries to control this streak of evil that helps no one but caused trouble for many. Comm. Dodd, we all had such high hopes for you and now you are in the boat with one oar with BC, that boat has a bad leak and it is getting worst.

BC is attacking the BTST big time, Why beacuse BC seems to hate that paper more then anyting in town. It is a direct route to the citizens of our town to tell the truth and BC doesnt want the truth out. BC recent posting are so outlandous that no one could read them completely. BC recently seems to be showing a pattern of extremes ,BC is thwowing everything Bc can against the wall hoping something sticks. BC seems dumb and we checked ,attended several colleges, never graduated, just like the phony engineer Dodd never graduated and got a degree.. ( birds of a feather stick togehter ). Recent posting seem that of a desperate person. We have been told by many that more and more peole are distancing themselves and Clotty is in the front row doing this.

Benedict Arnold was never in BC league, what he did he did for love of another cause. BC turned on many in Bc’s world who were kind and friendly and brought a lonely and I mean lonely bc into their homes to become friends. BC turned on all these people when they would not do what bc wanted. Then the person who did what Bc wanted learned a lesson. What BC wanted was wrong and not the will of the people. That person was Comm. Dodd, now look at how he is shunned by his old friends. The main reason being he followed BC advice to the point of continually reading from the DAIS word for word what BC put in her blog on previous days or is handed to him by Bc before he steps up on the dais. A trained dog appraoch from BC and Dodd did it, he lost his independence to the control of a BC who we feel needs medical help. Finally you watch a meeting now and you see the only people that deal with BC were all bc’s sworn enemies, the OLD GUARD or what is left of them and those who speak of bullies and prove to be the bullies themselves, getting ejected from town meetings. Bc protects them, covers for them ( Greenfest ) and attacks bc’s old friends. We must all ask does BC really believe these poeple like Bc or want anything to do with Bc? Let me give BC a heads up. A former Comm who worked for BSO at a party was with a bunch of of people and they were all having a roaring laugh over how stupid BC is and how they were all playing Bc. One of the statments they made is just feed her a compliment and bc is like puddy. They all agreed BC could not be trusted. General consenus, use bc and they are.
February 15, 2009 at 8:37 am
BC doesn’t believe the “incredible” response times of the VFD. Believe it. People do believe the VFD. BUT What the people seem to find is Bc LACKS CREDIBILITY!
February 15, 2009 at 8:51 am
Bc says it is your choice in 2010. Vigalante or Hero …This sounds slanderous to me.
February 15, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Read it for yourself. Bc as usual tells HALF A STORY! By The Sea Times Newspaper has a report card of all the commissioners. Bc only slanted the news. Read it and DON”T BE MISLED BY Bc’s HALF TRUTHS.
Thanks to the entire staff of BTST. You can all stand proud for the best excellent local town newspaper.
P.S. Have you sent in your money and application so you too can become an honored member of the Newspaper Association? It’s not hard and the logo makes you look recognized! Why not do it today?
February 16, 2009 at 11:11 am
we encourage BC to push Dodd on fire response. He will look the fool again and it will be BC fault. Little heads up, when fire is reported knocked down and out all equipment slows down going to scene, no rush the fire is out. The real great thing about this is the fire was put out fast and the building saved. BC keep on attacking the VFD they will only dislike you more like the rest of the town is now disliking Dodd. BC you guidance is killing dodd. The attacking of the VFD is a huge looser and you just dont get it.
February 17, 2009 at 11:22 am
Page afrter page after page of mean-spirited, unacceptable vicious attacks on people who warrant a gentle thank you instead of the vicious attacks that spew from the pen of Bc. Everyone realizes this seems far beyond aceptable normal behavior of any person. So we at SLAPBC are always looking for the reason for these negative thoughts. Maybe a look at Bc’s history will be able to shed light on why Bc demonstrates such ill behavior. It is said by several people in the know that Bc had not talked to her father since she was 19. A brother passed away and Bc did not even attend services. And then we have a story of a wedding of about 150 people of a family member .Where was Bc’s missing family? Certainly not in attendance. Now we must ask with a history which was just described, could this be the reason why Bc is so filled with hate?
February 17, 2009 at 11:24 am
Little birds are tweeting unusual tunes to SLAPBC. Several reports have indicated there may have been serious problems with Bc living and rather suddenly leaving Pompano! More to come…
February 17, 2009 at 11:32 am
The recent blogs coming from Bc are impossible to sift through. They make no sense and are nothing more than rehashing old news in a simple and clear desparate move for attention for Bc. We must all say to ourselves, How could anyone write page after page of meaningless nonsense? Does Bc have nothing constructive to occupy time and find any enjoyment in life?
February 18, 2009 at 10:16 am
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Bc for clarifying just how right Commissioner McIntee and Commisioner Silverstone were in fighting the developers of the the Garden Court Project. It certainly shows that Commissioner McIntee was right on in opposing this project from day one and he should be thanked for his viligence. If the town should recover this property, the town will recover the cul- de-sac which gave the developers enough land to build on the water. Without this town property, the developers would not have had enough property to build on the water. So hurray for Commissioner McIntee. He saw the scam from day one and he has not given up his fight for the town’s people. This is the kind of Commissioner who has done “due diligence”and again shown the constitutents, he is a man of his word and will fight for his neighbors.
February 18, 2009 at 10:29 am
We have had many requests for more communication from this site regarding Bc’s posts. We sadly must state that because Bc’s rants and raves have become so seemingly utterly contradictory and untruthful , it would take us as much time to correct Bc’s diatribes as Bc wastes writing them. We find our time more valuable and more worthwhile than wasting life on responding to bc’s mediocore thoughts. We will select a few diatribes a day and respond.
February 18, 2009 at 10:48 am
We have had a phenomenal response to this site and the hits are beyond our wildest expectations. This proves to us that there are a tremendous amount of citizens just like yourself who looking for the truth and reaching out to our site to find the truth. We wish to thank you for your continued support and will continue to do our darnest to present to you, the reader, a fair representation of what the truth is.

I hope town residents are cruising by the new pavilion being built on Commercial and the beach. There has been so much controversy about this single project; that was why the Sun-sentinenel blog was started over two years ago!
I love it! The size is big enough to make an impact and still not too overpowering next to Aruba and the pier. It has NO bathrooms which would have blocked the view with walls and appears to be the perfect place to downtown concerts and events.
To further enhance the area, the median should be cut way back, parking removed, and the area made into a pedestrian plaza. Public restrooms should be placed in the beach portal just south of the pier next to the shower, out of everyone’s way but convenient for beach-goers.
We can over-ride BC’s seemingly destructive mentality by trying to think of ideas that are constructive for our community and appreciating the good that has been achieved.
February 18, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Everyone should have known Dodd was a big liar before the election.the lies he told about former vice mayor Yanni, and everyone that he turned his back on knew the lies he was telling but I quess it was alright then. it’s sad what this beautiful little town is turning into.
February 19, 2009 at 6:20 am
BY the Sea times did a beautiful valentines edition done with so much love it was such a pleasure reading front to back full of love for the love of LBTS. BC should go and volunteer somewhere instead of wasting so much time on writing lies and disgusting information this is a full time job for her Life is too short move on or move out Bc
February 20, 2009 at 1:16 am
Now it seems Bc thinks that Mayor Minnet cannot handle her latest OOOOPPPS problem! Sun Sentinel story reports that Mayor Minnet and Mayor Brown of Sea Ranch Lakes rode together in the Sea Ranch Police vehicle to Gov. Crists gathering in Fort Lauderdale and got V.I.P. treatment. Bc seems to think Mayor Minnet has done a poor job making excuses for her previous negative encounters, and cannot handle her own affairs! So Bc tells Minnet to “call me”.. WHAT???? Looks like Bc is trying to imitate the Vice Mayor and follow in the Vice Mayor’s footsteps by wearing more than “ONE HAT.” Does Bc think Bc is some kind of a counselor or what? Bc tells Minnet, “I’ll talk you down…off that ledge before it’s too late to stop your fall…politically and otherwise…” By the way, what does Bc mean “and otherwise”????????????? ZOWIE!!!
I could not believe Bc’s own comments and had to read the babble twice!
February 20, 2009 at 1:22 am
Bc knows from expereience. Bc writes, “make sure to check their resume…look for inflated claims…what looks to good to be true…”Bc should know! Commissioner Stuart Dodd claimed he was an ENGINEER when he ran for office and to this date, Dodd has not produced any educational documents proving his engineer claim! Where is Dodd’s reume in the town’s government website, Bc? You are telling us you now recognize a phoney and Dodd is looking like that phoney you are advising against!

Bc says…”put the bathrooms at El Prado and away from the condos and hotels…” So does Bc think the restaurants should continue to pay for bathroom users free of charge??? Just come into Aruba or the Village Grill or 101 to leave a deposit and don’t give the establishment one penny! Local restaurants pay for the flushes while Bc stirs the SH–!
And what about the walls in the pavilion??? Walls for toilets meant less view . Those continual complainers said keep the view open. So it looks like they did not even want toilets in the pavilion!
February 21, 2009 at 10:41 am
Commissioner Dodd said,”Bathrooms would impinge upon the roadway and I think it is an attempt to stop this roadway from going ahead.”
Commissioner Dodd, Did you ever think the roadway would infringe upon the citizens ? Maybe the citizens come first and the roadway comes after!
February 21, 2009 at 10:58 am
It would make sense for the High Noon Hotel to want bathrooms near the pavilion rather than have bathers try to enter High Noon premises to use their nearby bathrooms. Bathrooms at El Prado would not help the High Noon while bathrooms near the pier would help eliminate those wanting to eliminate waste at the nearby High Noon. Those wanting to use bathroom near the High Noon certainly would try to enter High Noon and not walk all the way down to El Prado for toilets. Wake up Bc. Do you really think the people listen to you?????
February 21, 2009 at 11:12 am
There is an earthquake building in this town. Commissioner Dodd has gotten the vast majority of this town ready for a recall. Commissioner Dodd better wake up and stop listening to Bc . Dodd keeps getting himself deeper and deeper.
February 21, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Dodd has always worn blinders and can’t see changing reality around him. Instead of realizing that the proposed beach restrooms are probably about 40 feet east of where the blacktop ends…at the south pier portal… and tucked away in a landscaped area right next to the sand…he wants to make this into a conspiracy…that the Vice Mayor is suggesting this idea to get back at the Athena Boys.
Unfortunately, Commissioner Dodd…will never survive his term in office if he doesn’t start thinking about what is in the best interest of this community rather than using his office to exact political revenge on the people he, himself, turned his back on.
That scenario is exactly what happened to Mayor Parker. The people in this town pay attention and do not forget when they have given so much and then been treated so poorly by a Commissioner. Dodd is so politically naive that he thinks he can get away with his divisiveness in Lauderdale by the Sea…well, he can’t.
Think I’m kidding??? Remember Wessels, Yanni, Clark, Kennedy, and Parker??? All tried to win again…but had failed the people…and are gone without a legacy of dignity and respect left behind in this community. I hope Dodd, Minnet, Clottey, McIntee, and Silverstone read this blog… what Dodd is doing on the dais is a perfect example of “what not to do on the dais”.
Dodd’s first year performance was as bad as Parker’s last year up there which we all know was bordering on lunacy. Either Dodd will have to reign himself in or the people will have to do it for him. All Commissioners must remember that they serve us, the people, not their best friend, not their personal ego’s, not their political contributors.
Commissioner Dodd has shown himself to be a small-minded man and it is unfortuanate that he was elected. Is he better than Yanni? This is a question with no good answer. Dodd’s negative, vindictive nature can do much harm to the town. Yanni was not negative, just seemingly dense…but had a warm heart as compared to Dodd’s heart which is cold as ice.
You cannot do right for LBTS with a frozen heart..without loving something about the town. It is pretty obvious that BC and Dodd do not love anything about this Town and that is the most serious problem and will lead to their eventual downfall.

Again BC goes on and on and on. Now Bc’s boy is apologizing to the old guard for what he did. Dodd is such a sleaze, shunned by all his old supporters he is recanting all his views in the past, to support his new old guard bodies. BC has certainly destroyed your standing in this town. Now the people are at the early stages of wanting Dodd’s blood becaue of what you counseled, BC, it is on your shoulder, the fool Dodd has made of himself. Dodd may have violated the law by not paying sales tax on his boat business in his back yard. That happened once before with a poltical person in this town the IRS came in and nailed him for 6 backyears of taxes. Calling the VFD names is another certain way to accelerating Dodd’s downfall, what a naive person. Dodd’s biggest mistake in his whole life he listened to Bc.

BC and Dodd are at it again! The latest scoop is that code enforcement was seen this morning going through town telling all businesses to remove their newsracks, chairs, and benches from the public sidewalk. UH-OH…all in an attempt to “payback” the Furth’s successful newspaper rack in front of their motel.
Too bad the Furths rack is on private property and untouchable…but oh what a can of worms they have opened! Wait till their good buddies, the Greeks, find out what chaos this will cause at Kilwins and with all the other businesses that have a bench outside their stores!
BC and Dodd will be in very deep and messy do-do! They are both the pettiest people in LBTS and thrive on retribution but this one will come back to bite them both in the behind. Fasten your seatbelts!!!

I was listening to the commission meeting and heard Vice Mayor McIntee discuss that Commissioner Dodd was fixing boats in his (Dodd’s) backyard. I live on a canal and did not think a resident could do that so I checked on town code and found this ORDINANCE:
SEC 5-58 BUSINESS USE PROHIBITED
No vessel or watercraft of any kind whatsoever moored or docked in any canal or waterway within the Town shall be used as a place from which business or professional services are conducted.
It would seem that Commissioner Dodd is violating Town law now and even violated the law before he was elected to office. It would appear that with all the enemies that Dodd has created, thanks to Bc, there is a high probably that this information will be on the fast track to the Ethics Commission in Tallahassee.
February 26, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Commissioner Dodd and his continual attacks on the VFD have stirred up a hornet’s nest in Old Town. Now Bc has encouraged Dodd to go after the Town manager and get the Town manager removed. These are about the two stupidest moves any sitting commissioner could make. TM Colon is probably the most liked ansd most respected Town manager in the history of LBTS. The people love her independence, her honesty and her excellent job performance. Bc underestimates the tremendous support Colon has by our town residents. When Bc causes the trouble, Dodd takes the hard hit!
February 26, 2009 at 11:52 pm
It is quite obvious Patrick Pontu has been writing the endless nit picking questions Dodd and BC have submitted to the VFD for answers! When Dodd says he does his research. he really means he has received his questions from Pontu and BC has supplied him with all of her complaints about town staff. Birds of a feather catagory-Dodd,Bc ,Pontu,
February 27, 2009 at 11:42 am
Paragraph after paragrapgh of Bc trying to make excuses for Comm Dodd for his inappropriate presentations at the last Town Commssiion meeting… Commissioner Dodd is looking “Dumb and Dumber.” When is Bc going to realize that the Town manager, Esther Colon has 10 times more support than Comm Dodd? Everytime Dodd attacks the TM, he looks terrible and TM Colon looks great. Many People have been looking for a substantial reason that would allow Comm Dodd to be recalled. It would appear that with Dodd’s continued violation of town laws by having an illegal boat business in his backyard as specifically stated in Ordinance Sec 5-58 of the town code,may be the grounds for recall. Minimal problem before him is the ethics complaint that he will have to answer to for this continued violation of town law while serving as a sitting Town Commisioner. Thanks bc. You’re a great help. Advice like Bc’s has gotten Commissioner Dodd where he is now and it’s not good. Another feather in Bc’s cap. Dodd up for recall.
February 27, 2009 at 11:54 am
Reading the recent blog of Bc, it is clear that there seems to be a compulsion for attention. The continual rehashing and going back to the past seems to show an uncontrollable paranoia. Bc’s continued attack on one town organization with hundreds of members is like Bc playing taps for Commissioner Dodd. And when you add to the equation, the degrading and slamming of the Town manager, in Bc’s blogs, this will only encourage more and more people to sign a recall petition This group alone has enough signatures to start an official recall.
February 27, 2009 at 11:24 pm
For those of you reading this site, the sole purpose is to counteract the day after day , vicious attacks, hatemongering and negativity generated against everybody in LBTS Town Government including the Vice Mayor and giving a “Free Ride’ to Commissioners Dodd and Minnet by Bc. In this seemingly spiteful environment of Bc, a balance is necessary. You are challenged to look at Bc’s blog and find anything positive about the above mentioned. SLAP will cease and desist when Bc’s hate stops!
Until then, Thanks for reading the truth at SLAP.
March 1, 2009 at 5:15 am
Well, it’s very funny that Bc has not said one word about Commissioner Dood’s clear violation of town law. How can anyone reading Bc’s blog give it any credibility at all when a clear violation of town law is proven against Commissioner Dodd and not one word is printed about his illegal action in Bc’s blog? Bc writes page after page of hate and attack on Vm and commissioner Silverstone for Ehtics complaints which have been cleared but NOW when there is clear proof of unethical action and lawbreaking by Commissioner Dodd, Bc remains silent!
March 1, 2009 at 5:39 am
The recent Bc blog was read with glee as Bc tried desperately to turn Bc into a Firefighting expert. Bc’s report of the fire at 1965 S. Ocean Dr. was actually comical. Repeat: BC”S REPORT WAS COMICAL! Bc has absolutely no idea about whatever Bc is trying to say! A quick example of the seemingly stupidity of Bc is Bc’s description of a standpipe by which Bc exhibits ignorance of factual fire suppression. The true facts are: In this specific building there is a standpipe outside the building that was serviced by the VFD and a standpipe inside the building where the fire hose was taken from to fight the fire. Bc wasted time writing many pages on this fire in an attempt to try to show Bc knew what Bc was talking about when in fact Bc proved Bc is by no means capable of presenting a correctly informative report of the fire fighting service on a fire in our town.
March 1, 2009 at 5:47 am
Reliable sources have told this blog that Bc is considered an enemy by the vast majority of the VFD members. Bc has continually tried to hurt this organization. No one on the VfD will talk to Bc on the record . Bc has earned this terrible reputation. The result of Bc’s continual control of Commissioner Dodd has also put Commissioner Dodd on the fast track; for this same perception is generated toward Dodd.
March 1, 2009 at 5:54 am
For every action there is an equal or greater reaction. The results of Bc’s day after day of continual , hateful attacks have clearly established one clear reaction: No one in town government will talk to Bc except when mandated by protocol. No one in the VFD will talk to Bc except fby protocol. Finally, the everyday “Joe” will say nothing around Bc for fear of being misquoted in Bc’s blog.
March 2, 2009 at 7:56 pm
I’ve been raised to look at all sides of an issue before a good opinion can be offered. Some people tell me BC is doing a little good by offering this another side. Bc has failed . Bc’s take seems to has become so jaded by Bc’s vendetta against all that is McIntee and all that makes Dodd look bad, Bc’s opinion cannot count for anything good anymore. Even if Bc happened to make a valid point. Bc has lost creditability.
May not like to hear this but someone with an creditable opposing view is needed. Therefore, Bc needs to be replaced by someone with integrity asking and reporting on key issues. A voice is needed which the Futures had for a short time. BC had for a short time, but made the same mistakes thinking they could influence people to see it they way so they could get their way, didn’t work.
Now I think this side is doing the right stuff and has the best people but its good practice to at least hear a good argument.
This will not be easy, but we need someone who can at least try to give another view and have other worthwhile thoughts.
March 3, 2009 at 10:36 pm
same old same old Bc CREDIBILITY KEEPS ON DROPPING. DODD WAS CAUGHT RED HANDED BREAKING THE TOWN LAW AND BC SAYS NOTHING. WHAT WILL BC SAY WHEN TALLAHASSEE GETS THE ETHICS COMPLAINT. BC IS MEAN SPIRITED AND HAS SINGLE HANDEDLY DESTROYED DODD’S CAREER. NOW BC IS SUPPORTING YANN WITH SUPPORT LIKE THAT YANN WILL BE KNOCKED OUT IN FIRST ROUND. ANYONE WHO TAKES SUPPORT OF BC SEEKS THE WRATH OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF TOWN. ASK ROSSI JEWELRY WHO TOLD BC DONT MEMTION HER STORE SHE DID NOT WANT THE BAD PUBLICITY
March 4, 2009 at 4:44 am
Bc talks about public comment speaker Fleshman talking about Vice Mayor mcIntee and Commissione Silverstone with a conflict of interest problem wearing 2 hats BUT Bc DID NOT TELL YOU That THE TOWN ATTORNEY SAID IN HIS REPORT ON THE DAIS: THE TWO COMMISSIONERS DO NOT HAVE A CONFLICT OF INEREST SERVING AS COMMISSIONERS AND VFD MEMBERS! Neither McIntee nor Silverstone receive one penny for their firefighter service and commitment. It’s about time the declaration by the State Ethics Department is clear and common knowledge. Mcintee and Silverstone DO NOT have a conflict of interest wearing 2 hats.
March 4, 2009 at 4:57 am
Deerfield Beach has the right idea regarding ethic complaints. Finally. The person making the ethics complaint will have to pay Money($over $300.00) Those unhappy complaintants filing complaints will have some responsibility ! People who have filed unfounded complaints such as Mark Brown, Ex Commissioner Chuck Clark, Present Commissioner Stuart Dodd, and the Futures to name a few would have to pay for filing ethic complaints aginst people . The ethics coplaints have been unfounded by the State Department. Now frivilous complaints are made by individuals looking for somehting to stick when there is nothing there to stick! Perhaps it it the complaintants that Commissioner Dodd is talking about when he said Tallahasse thinks LBTS is laughing stock. It is those who are making the unfounded complaints and it is the complaintants who are looking foolish-not the accused!
March 4, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Dodd and BC are trying to launch a code violation cover-up. It is well-known that Dodd repairs boats behind his house at his canal property.
He is now applying for a license to rent dock space. This is a smoke-screen covering up his true intention to use his home to continue repairing, storing, and transporting boats, which is illegal in LBTS>
You cannot have an elected official breaking the Town laws in such a way. And you cannot have an elected official try to cover-up what he is really doing and has been doing for years by now saying it is something else.
You cannot have a Town Commissioner, Stuart Dodd go after Town Employees for answering legitimate public information requests about his visit to the code enforcement Dept. That is ethical abuse of political power. Dodd better watch it, he has stepped in quicksand is sinking fast.
March 5, 2009 at 5:58 am
Bc’s camouflage won’t hide Commissioner Dodd’s illegal boat business in his backyard which is illegal and violates town code! Bc tires to defend Dodd by telling you Dodd has an annual occupational license BUT It is the violation of town code which is illegal and not allowed.Bc just can’t seem to tell the true facts against Dodd! So what if Dodd has an occupational license. It is the violation of town law which dodd has violated.
March 5, 2009 at 6:04 am
Was town manager Baldwin’s performance ever reviewed under any commission in the form of a Performance review? Esther Colon has proven to be most effective and performed excellent for the town of LBTS for many, many years. Colon’s financial expertise has received awards year after year and allowed the citizens to remain in the fine financial status it stands in today. Citizens will not stand for a Bc or Dodd initiated attack on their TOWN Manager.
March 6, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Did anyone check if Dodd had a occupational license. What did he apply for
“Boat Repairs”??
March 6, 2009 at 10:40 pm
BC is just plain dum. There was a call dispatched of a possible drowning. Two waitors from Aruba saw a man at the bouy struggling and made the call. THe VFD responded and the police. Because the was no drowing does not mean in good faith people caqnnot call and think a man might be drowinbg and needed help. That is how usually people get saved. So BC looks dum and foolish again get your facts straight maybe you should go to Aruba and ask the waitor why he called 911. I would not eat there if I were you,seems everyone in that place hates your guts to.
March 6, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Dodd is quilty as hell he just plain violated the town law and knew it. BC you can try and sweep this under the rug like greenfest but everyone knows the truth. BC’s falling deeper and deeper into that pit of hate meaness and just plain stupidity. Dodd has big ethics problems and probably IRS problems. A letter as already gone to IRS about him not collecting sales tax etc. for renting the space in his yard. These problems he is having is mostly your fault, people dislike BC so much they are taking it out on Dodd. He better get away from BC the cancer you spread is hurting him the most.
March 7, 2009 at 3:17 am
Bc talks of civility. Bc does not seem to know the meaning of civility. Bc’s actions and words seem to stand out as uncivil, hate-filled, and just about every meaning other than civil! Decent people are tired of Bc’s attacks and hate-filled,chilish caring on!
March 7, 2009 at 3:21 am
Bc writes about STABILITY. Does anyone think Bc is STABLE?
March 7, 2009 at 6:59 am
Seems BC is trying to hold court right in town hall! Word has gotten around that BC was delving into the agenda packet as lbts citizens were coming into town hall one after the other to pick up the latest by sea Times.
BC was trying to influse her poisoneus negativity about two of BC’s favorite leading lady targets to them but former friends were letting BC have a taste of BC’s own medicine. BC got slapped and good!
BC and the few dependent groupies still sucked in are sinking fast. BC will end up being just a blip on the LBTS history screen and a lesson for the rest of us to be very careful who we invite in. Only go for those with a proven track record.

Finally, Bc discovered the VM and wife are out of town! It took Bc way too long to find this EARTH SHAKING information! Looks like Bc’s sources are drying up just like predicted! Why does Bc seemed to be so obessed with the VM and wife? Bc seems to have a need to know VM and wife’s every move! Don’t you think this appears as a Bc sickness?Something definitely wrong.
Remember when Bc went out of town and Bc wrote a “blow by blow” description of Bc’s own sightseeing? Nobody cared then. Nobody cares now! Bc…CLUELESS
March 10, 2009 at 5:06 am
Bc just keeps on sirring the pot with LIES AND FALSE CLAIMS. In Bc’s recent post we have lies and a stirring problem. Bc seems so foolish, Bc had Commissioner Dodd call the town manager about a “drowning” that never occurred. Dodd claimed there was a drowning when in fact there was no drowning. Dodd was looking stupid over something that never occurred. Dodd claimed there wes a drowning on the beach and why didn’t the town manager know about it????? The Tm called Chief Perkins and Perkins responded there was no drowning. It was a drowning call which amounted to a drunk swimming to shore . So once again Bc has commissioner Dodd make a fool of himself by having Comm Dodd call the TM about a drowning which never occurred. Get the lingo straight Bc. Dodd wake up! Looks like Bc used Dodd again! Dodd is looking like the means to Bc’s end or maybe the end of Dodd!
March 10, 2009 at 10:27 am
Bc shows ignorance again! It was not a Coast Guard helicopter at the potential diver in distress call. It was a BSO Air Recxue 85 helicopter, and any one in the KNOW could identify the BSO helicopter. Of course Bc tries to pick on the attire of the the VFD beach patrol. When the ATVs are dispatched in water recovery mode operation, shorts and flip-flops are permiteed for the beach duty. Bc did get one thing right. Anyone getting off the fire truck was in full firefighting equipment. Bc’s attempt to malign the VFD again shows the viviousnees of Bc. The VFD responded rapidly, did their duty and returned to quarters. Amen.
March 10, 2009 at 10:39 am
The CIC had a great meeting tonight. Many views were presented by several members. They all seemed to present the same theme. The general song was that eveyone is thoroughly disgusted with Dodd and Bc. In fact one of the members publicly told how she labeled Bc as “POISON” to this community. This was greeted with nods of approval as to what Bc is in this community. Dodd has lost all credibility to a vast number of residents who supported him at one time. Loss of Dodd’s credibility is blamed upon his association with Bc and doing Bc’s nasty bidding.
March 10, 2009 at 10:57 am
We have a FLASH for Bc. In the last two weeks, the CIC has signed up 46 new families. There has been a great number of memberships credited to the fact that People are fed up with Bc lies and Dodd’s Dastardly Deeds. Bc HAS TURNED INTO THE CIC”S BEST RECRUITER! It is clear the membership is becoming more militant in their demands for action against Dodd. When an organization such as the CIC picks up 46 new families in two weeks, it indicates there is an eruption coming. One of the underlying thoughts of many citizens is that they were lied to before the election when Dodd claimed he possessed an engineering degree and has never produced evidence of such an engineering degree. It is time for the people to demand Dodd’s complete BIO be published on the town’s website , as is customary for sitting commissioners. It is time for Commissioner Clottey to take note and also submit her bio.
March 11, 2009 at 8:16 am
Yann Brandt has to have BC sign in for him at the Town meeting , He has nothing to say of his own and repeats BC’s website commentary but that is not bad enough he is texting during the meeting in full view of everyone. How rude! Yann , you are coming off looking like a teenager , not a professional .
March 11, 2009 at 11:38 am
Bc follower,Yann, looks like a baby in diapers and doesn’t even make sense! Would you say Bc is, as they say, “the kiss of death?’ Just ask Dodd.
March 11, 2009 at 11:43 am
After the jam packed Jarvis Hall at tonight’s Commision Meeting in support of the the Town Manager, Esther Colon, The VFD and the pouncing Commissioner Dodd suffered, DOES BC NOW BELIEVE THE CIC IS ALIVE AND WELL? BELIEVE IT BC !
March 11, 2009 at 11:49 am
Pleasant dreams, Bc. Will sweet visions put you to sleep or will you revisit this evening in Jarvis Hall when you and your puppet Dodd bit the dust? CRUSHED BY THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE! NIght night! TA TA! Loked like DOOMSDAY! BIG TIME! Try not to be so mean and vicious tomorrow and tell the truth. Fabricating is definitetly not working!
March 11, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Bc and her buddies at the Future paper got the true slap in the face they deserved at the town Commission Meeting. The hall was full of irate voters who audibly expressed to the whole town, Dodd and Bc are finished. THE LIES IN THE FUTURE PAPER WERE EXPOSED AND PROVEN AS LIES . Dodd can expect many more meetings like this if Dodd keeps attacking Vice Mayor McIntee, The VFD and Town Manager Esther Colon. It is clear the citizens are ready to start a recall action if Dodd continues to follow Bc’s unreasonable requests and harrassing lies against the Town manager , the Vice Mayor. and The Volunteer Fire Dpartment. The general feeling is because of Dodd’s illegal boat businees conducted in his own backyard , in violation of the town code for years may be grounds to initiate the recall.
March 11, 2009 at 12:44 pm
In one of the clearest presentations of power , the CIC has risen from a dormant social organization to a strong and powerful political organization. . When 100 members are ready and able to demand justice on a one day’s notice, the politicians of this town better wake up! It seems the people were stirred and shaken at the Commission Meeting by the past actions of Commissioner Dodd and his continual attacks on the Vice Mayor, The Town Manager and attacks on the VFD. All these entities are strongly supported by the CIC. We can thank Bc for this aggesssive Reniassance of the CIC. Not only has Bc given the CIC a reason to erupt but Bc has also destroyed the political career of Commissioner Dodd. Bob K said it best of all,” The CIC does not like traitors. You (Dodd) are sitting on that side and they didn’t even vote for you.” The lesson learned here is thank you again , Bc. Bc HAS AWAKENED A SLEEPING GIANT IN OUR TOWN (THE CIC). That will result in many more meetings of 100 people if commissioner Dodd continues to follow the actions and directions of Bc. There were another 80 people wishing to express their feelings about Dodd and Bc but were asked to hold their feelings against Dodd and Bc until further needed , if necessary!
March 11, 2009 at 6:09 pm
Just tried going to BC’s website after months of ignoring it and got that immediate sick to my stomach feeling. The negativity and distortion in Bc’s writing is palpable. Combine that with a childish bratty behavior BC exhibits at Commission meetings and this seems to be one sick puppy. I do enjoy hearing a little town gossip but will get it from the topix blog and slap site, not BC, too disgusting.
Commissioner Dodd started taking some hits at the meeting last night for a change. He always seemed to encourage people to do that to McIntee and now I wonder how he likes having the tables turned.
Bob Karley told the truth. Dodd is an out and out turncoat and just like Yanni was reminded over and over again until the day he left office, about being a paid BSO employee, the people of lbts will remind dodd for the next 3 years that he is a Benedict Arnold, traitor. He can never be trusted because he turned on his people, and broke every single one of his campaign promises. He even wants to bring Walter Keller back!!!Dodd has even lost two of his closest friends and neighbors who whacked him silly during public comments.
The CIC branded him last night as the traitor he is and they have the right to do it because they got him that seat. Thanks to taking BC’s stupid advice, Dodd will wear a scarlet T for traitor in this town for as long as he lives here and even long after in people’s minds.
People will not forget and not let Dodd forget! This will cause such huge political ramifications that he and BC are not even aware of since they are so politically naive.
McMillan had it right back in his last August issue calling Dodd a traitor in by the sea times. He turned out to be right on. It is time the rest of us start laying it on the line and sticking Dodd with the academic credentials he has really earned: a BA (Benedict Arnold) in betraying your fellow countrymen!
March 11, 2009 at 11:35 pm
Bc’s report on numerous public comments by citizens leaves out several important details. Bc draws your attention to the fact that the CROWD was their to voice approval of the Town Manager. Bc FAILS TO TELL YOU THAT COMMISSIONER DODD’S DISGRACEFUL ACTIONS ON THE DAIS WERE ADDRESSED BY THE CITIZENS DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS. CITIZENS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF DODD’S ATTACKS ON THE VFD, THE VICE MAYOR AND TOWN STAFF. CITIZENS ARE TIRED OF OF THE TOWN STAFF WASTING HOURS OF VALUABLE GOVERNMNT TIME SEARCHING AND RESEARCHING FOR INFORMATION REQUESTED BY BC IN THE NAME OF COMMISSIONER DODD. AND CITIZENS WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK PUBLICLY AGAINST DOOD IF HE PROCEEDS WITH THESE ATTACKS. DODD’s FACE LOOKED LIKE ALL THE BLOOD HAD DRAINED AS DODD SAT THERE CONTINUALLY LOOKING AT HIS PUPPETEER,Bc. IT APPEARS DODD’S TROUBLES CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO HIS LISTENING TO THE COMMANDS OF BC . YOU WON’T FIND THIS REPORT ON Bc’S BLOG. BC AGAIN FAILS TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW!
March 11, 2009 at 11:44 pm
Police Chief Gooding was asked how many BSO police cars there are assigned to our town. Looks like there are about 25-26 police cars. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? FOUR(4) belong to the town. If Commissioner Dodd continues to harrass the VFD about their vehicles, Can we now expect Dood to keep track of when the Town owned BSO vehicles last had their oil changed and when was the last time the tires were inflated? Never mind the fact that BSO police have ‘TAKE HOME” cars and may even drive them out of Broward Couny to the police officer’s own home each day. Of those 25 or so cars, is it true only 3 are one duty at one time? UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!
March 11, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Bc failed to tell you that the FUTURE paper was brought on “front street” last evening for lies written to cast doubt on the town manager. Bc herself wrote in Bc’s blog that Bc agreed with the same statements which were proven to be lies! Did Bc tell you that info? NO!
More info Bc does want to tell you. THE PUBLIC COMMENT SPEAKERS ALSO CONFRONTED COMMISSIONER DODD WITH THE FACT THAT THEY VOTED FOR HIM BECAUSE OF HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES WHICH DODD HAS TOTALLY TURNED AGAINST! AND WHERE IS DODD”S PROOF OF THE ENGINEERING DEGREE HE SAID HE POSSESSED DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN? THE PEOPLE DEMAND TO SEE IT. DODD LOOKS GUILTY OF LYING .
March 12, 2009 at 12:00 am
If I were Dodd, I would get away from the idea of calling the Commission Conference a “Round Table” Each knight at the round table was identified by a name and characteristics. Dodd best suits the name, SIR MORDRED, DESTROYER OF THE KINGDOM AND KNOWN AS A NOTORIOUS TRAITOR .
March 12, 2009 at 12:42 am
ViICE MAYOR MCINTEE EXTENDED THE “OLIVE BRANCH” by suggesting peace for 60 days. It seemed the VM was offering it to Commissioner Dodd but looks like Bc is once again is the VOICE OF DODD! Bc SAYS THERE WILL BE NO PEACE! Bc writes Bc will continue to ask for information. I guess Bc is admittting that Commissioner Dodd has been requesting information for Bc, so Bc doesn’t have to put her name on Freedom Of Information requests like Bc has so often and so freely done in the past. Commissioner Dodd is the “GO-FER”. He goes and demands what Bc wants! So it looks like that’s the reason Bc has not submitted the many, many FOI Requests like those submiited by Bc in the past. Looks like Dodd is covering Bc’s FOI requests by asking for information in Dodd’s name as a commissioner. Does this sound ethical to you? It sounds like another ethics complaint heading to Tallahassee and Dodd claims that LBTS is the Laughing stock! Look who is being laughed at now! What goes around comes around! Unfortunately, The more Bc seems to misdirect Dodd, the deeper Dodd gets buried! Throw away the Shovel!!!
March 12, 2009 at 3:56 am
Dodd is so incompetent in his position that he thinks giving the town manager a difficult time somehow elevates him in others eyes. He is really covering for his inability to comprehend what is going on. Backup material seems to carry more weight than necessary but he needs all the backup material for BC for Bc’s agenda analysis. He says he is asking the hard questions, NO, the only one needing these answers is him. Everyone else gets it. He wants a town manager who will cover his ass the way Baldwin did for the old guard. If we lose Ester, Dodd will be gone to recall etc. Dodd wants Ester to do all his work for him the way BC does, the way JT did, the way Pontu does with feeding Dodd VFD questions, Sorry , not her job. I suggest IQ tests for the next candidates for the commission .
March 12, 2009 at 10:27 am
I was oh so proud of those residents who got up and spoke for our Town Manager at the Commission meeting. How often does a Town Manager get that kind of praise from Town Residents, anywhere?
I don’t think they would say it if they didn’t mean it because everyone’s comments were a little different and personal but the concensus seems to be that Mrs. Colon is keeping our little town financially safe in these troubled times and that she is by far the best manager, LBTS has ever had.
Nobody looked like they had their arms twisted and I saw in the room that there were dozens of other people who were supporters but didn’t actually speak. I thought it was a great evening and appreciate how people in this small town care enough to take time out of their busy lives
to offer support like that to one of our town employees. I truly have never seen anything like it in all of my years living in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
March 13, 2009 at 6:39 am
When all is said and done, BC looks like the worst thing that has happened to this town in it’s history. Bc has pitted friends against friends, destroyed Comm Dodd’s career and any chance for a future in LBTS. The proof is clear and black and white, about BC’s thought process on our town and moving forward. When the VM offered Dodd an olive branch and a 60 day cooling down period BC came out within hours saying no peace, BC wants war. BC seems only to survive by being a hate merchant. Fortunately alot of people have begun to realize BC iseems to be a disaster and must go. Dodd must wake up, one look at Penny and it is clear the pressure is hurting this fine woman. Thank BC. Bc wants no peace. Bc wants war. In BC’s world scorched earth policy sems to be Bc’s dream. Look at Bc’s new best friend ,wacko Fleishman, appearing as a true space cadet. Seems this seemingly evil minded BC possesses enjoys being with..
March 13, 2009 at 7:55 pm
NOT SO RIGHTGEUOS
What happened to the preacher??????????????????
Preaches such rightgeousness! “Do as I say not as I do.” One speaker said Dodd went against his own beliefs and now patronizes the”other side.” Look at the preacher. The preacher patronizes those who spread hate and lies ,even receives kisses from Sindy and sits among hatemongers at commission meetings, meeting after meeting. Do you think the preaching preacher is a spy at the CIC meetings, giving out CIC information to those who thrive on hate? Would you say it sure looks that way? No title gives anybody a free pass for unbecoming behavior.
March 13, 2009 at 8:25 pm
you don’t have to bring the unacceptable actions of a preacher to your neighbors attention. Anyone watching can see it.it has been talked about for some time but the evidence is growing stronger. Deplorable times when you have to ask if a preacher lacks trust and morals.
March 14, 2009 at 9:57 am
What happened to invocations that are inspirational? Sounds more like a lecture than thoughtful inspiration. Same “ol, same “ol! Spirit is lackimg.
What happened to invocations by various denominations? Looks more like more like a power trip!
March 14, 2009 at 10:51 am
“WASHED” AGAIN! Can YOU GUESS? You got it… GREENFEST! Bc barely mentions the town sponsored event that mayor minnet sponsored amd let go “haywire.” Matter is serious enough to go to State Attorney’s Office .Commissioners voted 4-1. Guess who voted no ? You Got that answer too! Bc’s puppet Dodd . When a nonresident is appointed chair by the mayor, and the nonresident opens a bank account using his own social security number for town funds, and refuses to send required bank accounts and info as required by town ordinance, something is not right. Dodd already admitted the nonresident was wrong in the matter but fails to investigate the guy who was already sent a letter from the town attorney indicating the guy is responsible for a hefty , daily fine of a few hundred dollars each day the nonresident violtes the town law. The nonresident continues to violate town law. It seems Bc must have told Dodd it’s okay. Dodd thinks it’s okay if the other guy can get away with violating town law that Dodd himself can also get away with violating town law by doing illegal boat business in his own backyard!
March 14, 2009 at 11:16 am
Bc should know better! After the election, the commission never agreed to forbid consultation between town attorney and commissioners. The commissioners agreed that no one commissioner could direct the town attorney to perform certain activities without a majority of the commission but never a word about comm. asking the TA questions and getting answers.
Bc seems to think the VFD should pay to receive answers regarding HIPPA questions because of Comm. Dodd’s actions while carrying a pager.
If Bc thinks The VFD should pay the attorney, SURELY BC MUST BELIEVE THAT COMM.DODD SHOULD PAY THE TOWN ATTORNEY FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL QUESTIONS DIRECTED TO THE TOWN ATTORNEY AND RELATING TO HIS OWN PERSONAL BUSINEES AND OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE CONCERNING THAT ILLEGAL BOAT BUSINESS IN DODD”S OWN BACKYARD.
March 14, 2009 at 11:32 am
BC tells you 19 CIC Members were “instructed” to speak at Public Comments and complemented the town manager because the TM was “picked on.” NOBODY form CIC was “instructed” to speak. EVERY SINGLE PERSON CHOSE TO SPEAK BECAUSE THEY ARE THANKFUL FOR THEIR TOWN MANAGER. Bc failed to tell you of the NON CIC who came to speak about other topics but included The Town manager in their remarks because they too value the TM.
Bc tells you the people spoke in favor of the Town manager because the Town Manager was ‘Picked On”. Who would know better than BC? Bc’s blog continued blog after blog saying Bc agreed with the Future Paper’s statements(Lies)and the Town manager leaving would not seem to be soon enough for Bc. All too many know how vicious , untruthful Bc can write.
March 14, 2009 at 11:35 am
Can’t wait for the Commissioners meeting at Jarvis Hall on Sunday at 7 p.m. Dodd wants to ask the VFD the “Hard Questions” Now many citizens will ask Dodd the “Hard Questions.”
March 14, 2009 at 11:47 am
Engineering Services—Bc failed to tell you that dodd supports bringing back a previous town planner who was criticized so badly by the Bc/Dodd Duo! It seems this is the guy who set it up loose rules for developers advantage. Dodd and Bc were against this guy when bc and Dodd led foolish supporters to believe they were against pro-developers. Now Bc and Dodd seem to praise developers at every opportunity and at the expense of citizens who want a small town with lowrise. LOWRISE CAMPAIGN PROMISES OUT THE WINDOW! STOOPING LOW IS WHAT YOU”LL GET FROM THIS Bc/DODD DUO!
March 14, 2009 at 12:01 pm
THANKS FOR REMINDING ME OF THE TOWN HALL MEETING ON SUNDAY AT 7 . If the CIC gets a full house for that commission meeting on Tuesday, I bet we can expect the same crowd and more for a planned event. Wonder what questions Dodd will be asked? I can just imagine. Thanks again. See you Sunday night.
March 15, 2009 at 4:53 am
Lets all ask Dodd about the truth regarding his claims he was a graduate Engineer. Then lets ask if he has been working on boats in his back yard. Then lets ask why he is the Benedict Arnold of LBTS and finally let us ask him if he will ever realize that BC seems to have ruined his life and probably the health of his wife.
March 16, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Thank you members of the LBTS community, CIC members and Non- CIC members, for attending the 2nd CIC sponsored Old Fashioned Town Hall Meeting. Although attendance may have been light due to many activities around town including St. Pat’s celebrations, the audience was receptive, pleasant , most attentive and asked questions of the commissioners.
Thank you CIC for offering the citizens the opportunity to get involved in our town government.
March 16, 2009 at 10:33 pm
AS USUAL, BC FAILS TO REPORT WHAT BC DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW AND THAT IS: WHAT EXACTLY DID OCCUR AT THE CIC TOWN MEETING LAST EVENING. Without a doubt, Bc always presents Dodd as the “Pretty Boy” who can do no wrong! Commissioner Dodd did not look so “PRETTY” when HIS FACE COLOR RACED FROM RED TO PURE WHITE when he was caught RED HANDED for handing out a HANDOUT OF PROPAGANDA! Bc writes Dodd had his wife handout the prepared handout (2 pages of misleading and untrue remarks of Dodd singling out again, THE VFD and the CIC) BECAUSE OF “TIME LIMITS.” DID YOU EVER GO TO ANY TOWN HALL MEETINGS OR DEBATE WHERE PARTICIPANTS PREPARED A HANDOUT BECAUSE OF LIMITED TIME? THE TIME LIMIT RULE MEANS YOUR TIME IS UP. STOP!!!!! The 4 other Commissioners honored the rule. Bc even admits that Dodd may have extended his speaking time up to one minute over the allowed time limit while each of the 4 other commisioners honored the time limit and stopped speaking when the bell rang but it appears Bc thinks it’s Okay for Dodd to continue to break the rules. AGAIN, Dodd LIKES OTHERS TO FOLLOW THE RULES WHICH HE , HIMSELF TOTALLY IGNORES. Dodd tried to defend the proaganda handout by saying other participants could have done the same! IT WAS NEVER AN OPTION! And Dodd talks about others following ethical procedures! UNREAL! BAD ADVICE FROM BC. BC SHOUTED OUT OF ORDER FROM THE AUDIENCE, when Bc said,”HE (Dodd ) CAN HAND OUT WHATEVER HE WANTS!” BC MOST LIKELY ENCOURAGED DODD TO TRY TO PULL SUCH A STUNT! Where was Bc’s decorum last evening ? BC did not tell readers it was BC WHO WAS OUT OF ORDER LAST EVENING! Bc sits at COMMISSION MEETINGS AND HISSES loudly AND LAUGHS AND TALKS CONSTANTLY during the meeting AND THE CHAIR (Mayor Minnet) ALLOWS BC TO ACT THIS WAY! Bc and Bob F were singled out and told by the mayor at the last Commission Meeting, to be respectful while sitting in the audience. That’s how Bad Bc’s behavior has gotten . Commissioner Silverstone addressed BC and Bob F for their lack of decorum Too! VM McIntee and Commissioner Silvertone try to have the Mayor control the audience but the other commssioners WHO SEE AND HEAR THE DISTURBANCES and realize the lack of decorum need to speak up too! Commissioner Clottey called a Special Commission Meeting to address the mayor’s lack of control regarding decorum but Commissioner Clottey has dropped the ball and allows shouting out from the bacl of the room and continual disregard for decorum especially by BC and Bob F. and others.
Bc also writes the handout was prepared because of “the CIC response…the last time he (Dodd) stood up in front of the organization…”
Bc reported that CIC meeting from HEARSAY, BC WAS NOT THERE.
Dodd’s first words in his propaganda handout start out with a lie. Dodd writes. “Finally I get a chance to address the organization…” GET REAL DODD! YOU WERE INVITED TO SPEAK AT THE LAST TOWN HALL MEETING AND TURNED “YOUR CHANCE” DOWN!
It’s doubtful that the audience even looked at Dodd’s handout seeing the audience was listening to the speakers. So the audience would have quite possibly gone home, read Dodd’s lies and been persuaded by Dodd’s propaganda without ever having the opportunity to question Dodd’s attacks, inexperience and down right lies! DODD TRIED TO MAKE THE TAXPAYERS BELIEVE THAT THE VFD IS GOING TO RUN OUT OF MONEY AND TRIED TO MAKE THE CITIZENS BELIEVE THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY ADDITIONAL TAX DOLLARS! UNTRUE! UNTRUE! DODD HAS BROUGHT THIS POINT UP AT TWO COMMISION MEETINGS (just at the meeting on March 1oth and the prior meeting) and the VFD CHIEF CLEARLY SAID THE VFD IS AND WILL OPERATE UNDER ITS BUDGET! DODD”S TRICKS ARE FAILING AS IS THE ADVICE GIVEN TO DODD FROM BC. HOW MUCH LOWER CAN BC AND DODD STOOP?
March 16, 2009 at 11:06 pm
BC attended the CIC old town hall meeting. The perfect opportunity to ask away. BC had nothing to ask and this shows me everything that is wrong with BC. BC had the opportunity to go at them and be the star BC thinks BC is, but when it comes down to it, BC continues to hide behind BC’s blog. True colors showed to all. BC new blog page is a simple glorification of the old one.
A test – Sometimes I think, well, maybe I’m wrong and maybe BC is right. It stops as soon as I think about the people who believe in BC. If BC was right, BC would have a committee formed to oppose the CIC for one and it would be the group to deal with. The people would want this if they really felt BC was going in the right direction and it was needed to fix all the things wrong with town BC says there is.
This has not happened and know why.
What BC thinks is BC’s greatest contribution has ended up being for entertainment purposes, seems more like a mockery. BC , along with the Future paper have not and presently are not looking well.. The proof will always be what the people think. They will determine what is needed. They determine what is entertainment and what is to be taken seriously. The proof is what is happening, not just an opinion that remains inactive.
March 17, 2009 at 8:50 pm
OLD FASHIONED TOWN MEETING
BC Seems to have a very short memory and a long line of “crap”, as Bc would probably call it. “Crap” seems to be one of Bc’s favorite word and it’s disgusting. Bc was there when Minnet stood at the podium and publicly ,viciously attacked the CIC organization. And Bc says The Mayor was not allowed to join CIC. Enough said!
Dodd said in his opening and referring to campaign,”You have made a “Good” choice to let three experienced business people …” Yes, Commissioner dodd. Is that the illegal boat businness you conducted and conduct from your own backyard? How about proof of your engineering degree? Where is your Bio on the town website?
Dodd wants to ‘BUTT IN” on the 4th of July celebration. You were chairman last year and no one “butt in” on last year’s plans. Everyone knows you are , as usual, acting as BC’s puppet because Bc wants a parade and hot dogs and hamburgers …Bc has already stated that in blog. Bc is heading you for more problems. When will you learn to stop obeyinf BC?
MORE CAMPAIGN TALES DODD REFERRED TO IN HIS OPENING:
“I intend to be part of that team…DODD HAS PROVEN HE IS NO TEAM PLAYER!
” I will be honored to serve with honesty, integrity…”TRAITORS ARE NOT HONEST AND TRAITORS DON”T KNOW WHAT INTEGRITY IS
DODD”S BELIEFS TODAY:
“I BELIEVE I HAVEN’T CHANGED…” THAT NOT WHAT THE MAJORITY OF CITIZENS BELIEVE! DODD GIVES KUDOS TO THE FUTURE PAPER, THE PAPER ONCE DODD OR BC WOULD NOT EVEN ASSOCIATE WITH. NOW DODD AND BC SEEM TO BE “IN THEIR POCKETS.” Dodd and BC show support for the DEVELOPERS WHO ONCE TURNED ON BC HERSELF BY GETTING BC THROWN OFF THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD. BC WAS FURIOUS WHEN P & Z CHAIR, ROSEANN MINNET, THREW BC TO THE WOLVES, NOW BC AND DODD PATRONIZE MINNET! BC was “Slapped” with a real SLAPP SUIT BY DEVELOPERS AND HAD TO HIRE AN ATTORNET TO DEFEND BC. BC FORGETS IT WAS VM MCINTEE WHO STOOD UP IN BC’s DEFENSE!BC SAYS DODD”S GETTING RID OF THE OVERLAY DISTRICTS WAS A KNEE_JERK ACTION PRACTICAALY FORCED ON DOOD BY SOME TRICKERY.

Dodd Can’t seem to keep a consistent reason for holding “round table Meetings. First it was for each commissioner to take one idea and all commissioners would discuss i informally “off the cuff.” Dodd came with his “homework” as he called it! Prepared and probably written by Bc.
Every time dodd brings up the “round table” discussions, he presents it with a different meaning than the one commissioners first agreed on. “FLIPPING AND FLOPPING” on this idea TOO!

OLD FASHIONED TOWN MEETING
BC Seems to have a very short memory and a long line of “crap”, as Bc would probably call it. “Crap” seems to be one of Bc’s favorite words and it’s disgusting. Bc was there when Minnet stood at the podium and publicly ,viciously attacked the CIC organization at a Town Commission Meeting. And Bc says The Mayor was not allowed to join CIC. Enough said!
Dodd said in his opening and referring to his campaign,”You have made a “Good” choice to let three experienced business people …” Yes, Commissioner Dodd. Is that the illegal boat businness you conducted and conduct from your own backyard? How about proof of your engineering degree? Where is your Bio on the town website?
Dodd wants to ‘BUTT IN” on the 4th of July celebration. You were chairman last year and no one “butt in” on last year’s plans. Everyone knows you are , as usual, acting as BC’s puppet because Bc wants a parade and hot dogs and hamburgers …Bc has already stated that in blog. Bc is heading you for more problems. When will you learn to stop obeying BC? You spit out of your mouth , words written befoforehand by Bc’s in BC’s blog!
MORE CAMPAIGN TALES DODD REFERRED TO IN HIS OPENING:
“I intend to be part of that team…DODD HAS PROVEN HE IS NO TEAM PLAYER!
” I will be honored to serve with honesty, integrity…”TRAITORS ARE NOT HONEST AND TRAITORS DON”T KNOW WHAT INTEGRITY IS! Agian, Where’s proof of your engineering degree? And how about your illegal boat business in your backyard? Dishonest and unethical besides breaking the law!
DODD”S BELIEFS TODAY:
“I BELIEVE I HAVEN’T CHANGED…” THAT’S NOT WHAT THE MAJORITY OF CITIZENS BELIEVE! DODD GIVES KUDOS TO THE FUTURE PAPER, THE PAPER ONCE DODD NOR BC WOULD NOT EVEN ASSOCIATE WITH. NOW DODD AND BC SEEM TO BE “IN THEIR POCKETS.” Dodd and BC show support for the DEVELOPER WHO ONCE TURNED ON BC HERSELF BY GETTING BC THROWN OFF THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD. BC WAS FURIOUS WHEN P & Z CHAIR, ROSEANN MINNET, THREW BC TO THE WOLVES, NOW BC AND DODD PATRONIZE MINNET! BC was “Slapped” with a real SLAPP SUIT BY DEVELOPERS AND HAD TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO DEFEND BC. BC FORGETS IT WAS VM MCINTEE WHO STOOD UP IN BC’s DEFENSE! BC SAYS DODD”S GETTING RID OF THE OVERLAY DISTRICTS WAS A KNEE-JERK ACTION, PRACTICALLY FORCED ON DOOD BY SOME TRICKERY. DODD AND BC SEEM TO BE THE BIGGEST FOOLERS.
DODD says he’s not a flip flopper but citizens watch Dodd’s actions on and off the dais and know otherwise and citizens are aware it is BC who leads Dodd around by the nose. Bc’s blog proves this!
Dodd Can’t seem to keep a consistent reason for holding round table meetings. First it was for each commissioner to take one idea and all commissioners would discuss informally “off the cuff.” Dodd came with his “homework” as he called it! Pages and pages.. Prepared and probably written by Bc. With so many items and this was not agreed upon by the commissioners.
Every time Dodd brings up the round table discussions, he presents it with a different meaning than the one commissioners first agreed on. It was for the commissioners only and then it was for the citizens to speak, BLAH, BLAH ,BLAH, DODD! “FLIPPING AND FLOPPING” on this idea TOO!
Each knight at the round table had a name and characteristics. Dodd will be called SIR MORDRED, Detroyer of the Kingdom and a NOTORIOUS TRAITOR!
Dodd says he will solve many of the problems on the dais. Dodd CREATES MORE PROBLEMS where PROBLEMS DON’t EXIST! THE PEOPLE ARE FED UP WITH DODD’S AND BC’S ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK TACTICS!
March 22, 2009 at 10:28 am
As we said before, we must get a break away from this continual propaganda generated by Bc and we’re BAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!
The vacation was great and we will continue to take short intervals away from this site because we value our lives much more than always fighting propaganda and hate of Bc. Spewing hate, vicious attacks and lies are not signs of good mental health. We often wonder how anyone can be so obbessed to continually produce hate and propaganda 365 days a year. Many have said medical treatment is warranted for abnormal behavior.
March 22, 2009 at 11:16 am
The predictions that we have continually predicted on this site are coming true. Town employees have finally had it with Bc and no longer have any desire to treat her with the respect other town residents woud receive. Everyone has a breaking point and town employees supporting the town manager are fed up and will not take take it anymore. Bc has now begun her attack on Commissioner Clottey. In so doing, Bc defends the two most boorish businessmen in town who are also known to be despised by their own business community. Commissioner Clottey’s agenda item deals with the concerns and rights of citizens in regard to the NOISE so loud it is heard throughout the entire town. Commissioner Clottey’s item is reasonable and long overdue.
The most recent post from Bc is turning into a phase of WHINING and disbelief that town employees are no longer afraid of Bc’s actions. We have seen a recent rash of rehashing of old events to fill Bc’s rants of hate. We have also heard from reasonable sources that Comm Dodd is distancing himself from Bc . What we cannot predict is whether or not Dodd’s distancing from Bc will salvage his political career or IS IS TOO LATE? Bc is in a row boat with one oar and NOWHERE to go! Her crew is going overboard and abandoning ship. The last support seen is THE REVERAND who threw his association behind Bc and has discouraged a lot of his former peers from associating with him. Many of his assocites felt that once he accepted the position of town chaplain, he must remain neutral when it came to town ploitics. The Reverand did not remain neutral, therefoere his credibility is gone until he takes a firm stance on neutrality, his credibility will never come back. The Reverend should have remained neutral when it came to town politics because he is the town chaplain and should act like one. When all is said and done and Bc goes back to the midwest, Bc will have intentionally ruined many lives and that is sad!
March 22, 2009 at 11:25 am
To the SHOCK of Bc, Happy V publicly put Bc in Bc’s place in Town Hall while town employees and witnesses observed and silently cheered Happy on. Now true to Bc’s MO, Bc is attacking Happy. Happy, too, was a former Bc friend who is wise to Bc and Bc’s hate.
March 22, 2009 at 11:46 am
Bc can’t seem to get facts straight. Lies and Hearsay! Bc’s facts are missing.
Has BSO been suppressing facts?
SEVERAL CAR BURGARLIES ARE KNOWN BY CITIZENS AND MANY
NEIGHBORS AND C.O.P.S. BUT BSO SAYS BSO DOES NOT KNOW!
HOUSE AND CAR BURGARLIES!
There was an audible GASP from the audience when it was told there are 26 TAKE HOME POLICE CARS IN LBTS.
Let’s not forget the many complaints about people walking around town with open beer botltles in hand, Loud noises disregarded by police patrol.
People are constantly complaining about homeless on the beach and many other violations of the law ignored by BSO Police.
March 22, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Slap, I’m so glad you’re back, the bloggesphere is scarry without you. I am also very grateful you exist, whoever you are. I am sure managing a blog is alot of work, but you were willing to put out something to answer to the dangerous stuff BC has been putting spewing for over a year now.
All that is needed for hate crimes to flourish is for is for everyone to just keep quiet and pretend they don’t see it. Slapbcbyhesea stood up in the face of a monster, BC, and said “Your lies and slander will not stand” unchallenged.”
BC’s attacks on good citizens of LBTS, misleading information, exaggerations, downright lies, and shameful insults will be named and exposed…thanks to slapbc. If it wasn’t for slap, people would belive BCs internal hatred in the form of a newsblog, was factual news. But now everybody knows the truth. BC is simply using the format to exact a vendetta against Jerry Mcintee and other former friends.
This may never have been widely known if it wasn’t for slapbc! Readers might have actually believed those BC accuses were actually guilty. And perfectly good, well-earned reputations could have been irreparablly damaged.
People, organizations, media must have the courage to face character hate crimes and character terrorism when it rears its ugly head.
This is why we must all be grateful for those that stand up and fight hate, greed, and corruption…Slapbcbythesea, the by the sea times, the CIC
Silverstone, McIntee, and Clottey. We need to support these important voices and let them know how much we are behind them. So, again thank you, thank you, thank you slap!
March 24, 2009 at 8:03 am
Looks like Commssioner Dodd is distancing himself from Bc. Sources are heard saying Dodd is sick and tired of being ostricized by town residents because of being tied to Bc. Bc’s latest blog indicates Bc is desperate for something to write about so bc is scratching for news by sticking Bc’s nose in Fort Lauderdale’s politics.
March 24, 2009 at 8:11 am
Just got done reading the Pompano Pelican. It is clear the Vm won the day and Dodd and Bc looked foolish. Dodd and Bc attacked the Town Manager several times days and weeks continually before the Commission Meeting where dozens of Citizen Supporters for the Town Manager stood up and praised the Town Manager for performing an excellent service to the town. The Pelican article clearly made a liar out of Bc. Bc was low in her count of citizens speaking in favor of the Town Manager. the Pelican report is accurate. Better read the Pelican article inorder to hear the truth because Bc knows how to keep the truth from readers!
March 24, 2009 at 8:23 am
Sooner or later all our readers knew the truth would triumph over the hate filled reports from Bc. Bc clearly burnt bridge after bridge after bridge. Citizens stay away from Bc. Citizens of LBTS have had enough of this crusade to divide our town by one individual. What Bc is doing is not for the benefit of the town but rather for some seemingly sick , demented reason to keep up the division, stir the hate and to prevent town government from serving our citizens.
March 24, 2009 at 9:14 am
Bc in an attempt to once again discredit the town government regarding an ordinance change, contacted the Town Clerk. The Town Clerk directed Bc to the correct information and in a flash, Bc also calls a newspaper man. The NEWSPAPER MAN UNKNOWINGLY GIVES Bc Credit for finding the correcct information when in fact IT WAS THE TOWN CLERK WHO DIRECTED Bc TO THE CORRECTNESS OF AN ELECTION QUESTION. Far beit that Bc would tell the newspaper man that it was THE TOWN CLERK WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORRECT INFORMATION AND NOT Bc. TYPICAL, Bc TOOK CREDIT AWAY FROM THE TOWN CLERK WHEN IT WAS THE TOWN CLERK WHO DESERVED CREDIT, NOT Bc!
March 25, 2009 at 11:24 am
Looks like everything Dodd has been directed to do by Bc has flopped! But he still doesn’t get it! Is Dodd just plain dumb or what?
March 25, 2009 at 11:43 am
Silverstone and McIntee certainly understand the people in town . Silverstone Brilliantly move to reduce the beach parking fee to $ 20. McIntee immediately seconded . Commissioner Clottey is catching on. Dodd wanted to “rip off” the citizens with outrageous fee!
March 25, 2009 at 11:51 am
The Reverand doesn’t get it! He fails to show neutrality and the majority of the citizens will not show respect for him due to his actions. Maybe it’s time for the Reverand to resign form “his Self Appointed’ chaplain position.
March 25, 2009 at 12:03 pm
The recent blogs generated by Bc clearly show Bc seems to be is in a desperation mode. Commissioner Dodd is clearly taking the bus and leaving Bc behind. Clottey has finally realized that the self appointed town crtic and town hater of all employees seems to be extremely disliked by anyone in town. Bc ‘s best friend is screwball fleshman and that tells it all!
March 26, 2009 at 10:39 am
We have had some laughs at this site . Bc trying to be cool, using the term, “Bro” is certainly laughable. If we had to pick someone who was “cool”, It certainly would Not be Bc! Did you ever hear of someone getting” hit with the ugly stick?” Just take a look!
March 26, 2009 at 10:50 am
It seems all the loosers are circling the wagons with Bc. The “A” boys were hopeless again at today’s commission meeting. Their boisterous, obnoxious, and crude actions were once again publicly witnessed today. The police removed Louis today. Did you ever get close enough to Louis to smell his unhealthy body odor? This is the truth! Whenever the mayor is overruled by the commission , the Mayor looks like an a–. Control of the meeting will continue to be taken out of her hands while she continues to let meetings run out of control.
March 26, 2009 at 11:05 am
Dodd just can’t keep 60 days of peace. He again unecessarily questioned the Town Manager on her acounting expertise!
Commissioner Silverstone gave credit to the VFD for their unselfish service and output to the community. He referred to the fire on the 11th floor of the condo at 5:30 Wednesday morning. Dodd jumped in and talked about when he got up early to feed the pigs? Was feeding those pigs as dangerous as walking into a smoke-filled building and not knowing what dangers might be encountered? Does anybody know what the heck dodd was talking about? Maybe Bc could explain the mystery.
March 26, 2009 at 11:13 am
Minnet has not heard the last of the March 24, 2009 commission meeting. Take a look at Florida Statutes 112.3143 voting conflicts and see how miserably looks like the mayor violated this law! This is one the mayor is not getting away with. Tallahassee wil get a report soon.
Bc reports the mayor did not ask questions only made a staement. You better play the commission tape over and hear for yourself. The mayor did ask questions!
March 26, 2009 at 11:49 am
The Vice Mayor’s Commissioner Comments again exposed the Future’s paper for FALSELY ACCUSING Commissioner Silverstone and then Commissioner McIntee for cheating in their 2006 election campaign. Mark Brown the editor of the Future paper, flatly lied and said the two commissioners had violated State Law! This is a total lie and was proven by the State Election Commission to be a false accusation made by Brown. Brown filed several bogus complaints to the federal Election Commission and all of Brown’s numerous accusations were ALL DENIED AND THE TRUTH IS FINALLY Here. For two years Mcintee and Silverstone had to remain silent according to the law while Mark Brown created a false scandal and freely wrote lies in the Future paper without any restrctions under the law! THERE IS NO PROBALE CAUSE and the case is closed! What penalties does the State impose on Brown for wasting taxpayers money? None! The penalties facing Mark Brown are here in this community where Mark Brown lives and is recognized as a liar because of the many lies he has written in the Future paper. Brown’s lies have been proven as lies.
March 26, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Aruba , the property on the north of the pavilion, is mentioned for causing a drainage problem at the new pavilion but Bc fails to mention by name, Bc’s Best Friends For Now, the “A” boys propertry on the south also causing drainage problem. You can count on Bc for keeping the whole truth form you!
March 30, 2009 at 11:10 am
Sorry for the “Down Time” but as we have stated in the past, our lives do not revolve around responding daily to Bc’s daily hate-filled blog. A great weekend was spent in the Keys but now unfortunately so many lies have been written by Bc that we must work extra hard replying to such trash.
March 30, 2009 at 11:57 am
Well we picked up a few interesting tidbits when we returned. Bc ( Big Time Town Hater ) was escorted out of “secret society” Unite Our Town meeting. Nobody wanted Bc there. Bc was treated like a leper. So let’s figure this out. If Bc went to a CIC meeting. Bc would be thrown out. The opposition to the CIC is the Unite Our town and even that group does not want Bc. SOOOOO, It’s figured out for you. Nobody wants Bc around!
This is proof again that Bc is an outcast. Bc brings two things to the table. One thing is hatemongering and the second thing is Dodd. Bc already destroyed Dodd and people realize that association with Bc (Big Time Town Hater) means the “Kiss of Death , so to speak!
It would appear Commmissioner Clottey has disassociated herself from Bc. Clottey must have realized that the hate, lies and continual attacks on the town employees, the Vice Mayor and descent citizens have worked in the reverse of the way Bc had hoped. In fact such evil, vicious attacks against the VM are encouraging citizens to wholeheartedly support the VM , town staff and those fine citizens. The proof of this is the rapid, continued growth and support of the CIC by town residents. It is reported that 46 new families joined in the last two months and membership is growing weekly. Bc seems so dumb, Bc does not realize that the most respected person in this town (by the vast majority) is the town manager, Esther Colon. Bc’s continual attacks, using Dood as Bc’s puppet have been a complete disaster for Bc (Big Time Town Hater) and Dodd.
As Bc rambles on with attacks against the Vice Mayor and the Town Manager, people have already realized that Bc’s blog is NOT an ecucational blog But a blog of Bc’s personal vedettas and outrageouos claims. We must all ask one question of Bc. Can you name one thing positive Bc has done since Bc moved here? Answer;Nothing… Bc has caused trouble and hard feelings.
March 30, 2009 at 12:14 pm
We have seen Bc’s supporters decline continually. The people who had respected and initially listened to Bc have all dumped Bc like ” a hot potato.” Now Bc surrounds Bc with the outcasts of our town, the likes of Wacko Flushman of Terra Mar who neighbors admit disliking him and the two least desirable businessmen in town who are in deep financial trouble and are desperately behind in their bills. It appears that Bc (Big Time Town Hater) has one restaurant owner so mad that Bc will be barred from eating in that establishment . It is prettty bad when you are barred from spending money in a restaurant. This is the path Bc has chosen and all paths are leading to dead ends.
March 30, 2009 at 12:27 pm
No longer is Bc treated by the town employees or the VFD staff with the respect most citizens would receive. Bc is treated with a courtesy that they are obligated to present only. No one is jumping to Bc’s immediate demands as in the past. Bc’s continual harrassment of the town employees and continual harrassment of the VFD has warranted such treatment.
We hear, the last time Bc asked for information from the VFD, Bc was told to come back in ten days and they would try to get it ready. Why does Bc (Big Time Town hater) think everyone should drop everything for Bc? Do you thing Bc is getting a message? We do!
March 30, 2009 at 12:52 pm
One of the saddest things we have seen in Bc’s blog is the clear indication that Bc hopes the VFD will make a mistake so Bc can blast it all over town. This is so sad that anyone would want to see potential harm or even death to make the VFD look bad. Bc seems to look like a degenerated, sad, misguided individual. To date the VFD has performed an outstanding job. Much of the VFD sucess is credied to the Vice Mayor who has worked and trained with his department for thousands of hours before and since he VFD was put back into service. Bc (Big Time Town Hater) has not said one positive word about the positive job these dedicated men and women of the VFD have done to date and this shows it appears hate is the only feeling that Bc can generate to the public.
March 30, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Again and again, Bc reports only what Bc wants you to know. Bc (Big Time Town Hater) failed to tell you two important Commissioner Comments at the recessed Commission Meeting.
1) Comissioner Silverstone spoke first and talked about the alarm of fire at 5:30 a.m. on the eleventh floor of a condo and how the VFD was tremendously successful in putting out the fire and evacuating the condo dwellers.
2) Vice Mayor McIntee read a letter just received from the State Elections Commission dismissing all accusations filed against McIntee and Silverstone by Mark H. Brown of the Futures Paper over two years ago . Lies printed in the Future paper written by Brown were read and proven to be lies! Brown accused the two honest commissioners of breaking Forida Law. Shame on Mark H. Brown and the Futures paper for creating a phoney scandal! Shame on Bc for not reporting the truth!
March 30, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Fool – proof, Want proof BC is acting like a fool? BC goes on another rant about the noise complaints, but this is not really the issue as much as those who question BC’s 2 new, best friends possessing rude,crude behavior and poor business skills! Even if it just appears so, BC negatively attacks Commissioner Clottey because it looked like Clottey agreed with McIntee and Silverstone and not to BC’s way of thinkging. BC berates Clottey thoroughly.
Then ends it by giving the vote count. 5-0! So after all the low down personal attack on one commissioner, who voted the same as all the others, this is how BC chooses to communicate what happened. How is Dodd or Minnet not guilty of at least some of the fault?
BC is using blog site as a negative attack tool for those that act in a way BC does not approve. Yet, BC is only one!. Somehow BC believes BC’s view is more powerful then others. Sounds like a symptom of a physcological disorder.
March 30, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Thank you all for sending in your truthful thoughts to SLAP.
March 31, 2009 at 3:46 am
BC is absolutely in loss of mind if BC even phantoms for one second or believes that Commissioner Clottey owes the two brothers any apology! These two guys have displayed their sexist, racists, and bully tactics in public on many occasions and have been ejected by the BSO Police from Town Commssion meetings on more than one occasion. NO ONE EVEN MENTIONED THEIR NAME OR BUSINESS regarding the agenda item regarding noise! They approached the podium and ranted on and on and attacked others as if they were named as defendants when their name , nor business was even mentioned at all! The duo continued to repeat unecessary bad behavior!
Previously, for a large 400 pound man, in need of a bar of soap, to call a 120 pound woman a derogatory name is unacceptable. The first sneaky reaction to the namecalling was DENIAL by the namecaller until a witness was named! The namecalling brother initially lied about even having made the derogatory namecalling! In front of a group of people, he tried to cover-up by lying and denying having even made the namecalling ! If anyone should have been apologized to, right there and then , it was the woman who received the unwarranted derogatory namecalling.
INSTEAD OF DEFENDING COMMISSIONER CLOTTEY WHO IS CORRECT, Bc tries to make heroes out this dispicable duo and therefore, Bc continues to show no credibility. And for the record, Maybe this will be the last restaurant in town that Bc is not barred from. In the past, Bc would complain about the terrible food at the despicable duo’s place of business! The only thing Bc will be eating are Bc’s own words!
The Old Guard and the New Guard shun away from Bc, so Bc has to grasp onto anyone! It looks like the despicable duo is also shunned by the bussiness community and must all grasp onto anyone too!
April 2, 2009 at 9:29 am
Bc takes the cake this time, such crazy ranting page after page of facts generarted by State Election Investigators proving that Silverstone and McIntee are innocent of Mark H. Brown’s complaints. Bc still tries to claim Jim Silverstone and Jerry McIntee are guilty. After 2 and one half years the State Election Commission clears McIntee and Silverstone stating Brown’s complaints were wtihout evidence and “speculation!” . If I were Mark Brown and Cindy Geesey, I would be worried about the law suits coming in the future. Because you run a paper does NOTmean that you can print lies!
April 2, 2009 at 9:56 am
It would appear in the recent rants of the last 2-3 weeks Bc has crossed the line into the realm of libel and slander. When you have too much hate and malice in one’s mind, the common sense factor sometimes get lost completely. There are many people in our community that have begun to realize Bc’s actions are on the verge of being classified irrational. Bc’s circle of companions is shrinking daily. One commissioner has clearly distanced herself from Bc and we have heard from multiple sources that Comm Dodd is looking for a way out. Bc has hurt every one who has associated with her and disagreed with her in the past. This is the sign of desperation to gain any kind of attention. A clear example of what we are saying is :No one in the CIC wants anything to do wtih Bc and no one in the Unite Our Town wants anything to do with Bc .. . who’s left?? … a Rev who looses credibility every week by not chastising Bc’s hateful behavior which certainly could not be accepted in the bible. Bc’s continued association with a wacko in Terra mar and two crude businssmen who are shunned by other businessmen in town and who “lease” property in town, not “own” property in town clearly show Bc’s morals have changed.
Yes it appaers BCis heading toward the abyss!
April 2, 2009 at 10:04 am
We would like to take this opprtunity to thank you for the tremendous growth being experienced. Two day ago we had the biggest hits ever experienced since the beginning of the SLAP site. We can only credit the success to you readers who are searching for and finding the truth. Thank you. Please continue sending in your well appreciated thoughts.
April 2, 2009 at 10:26 am
It is sad to think Bc is trying to use Bc’s wealth in our community in an attempt to BUY credibilty. Sources have indicated that Bc has several individuals doing work on the Bc blog. Using stenographers , copying minutes of the meeting and interpreting information from various agencies is just Not working. We challenge any of our readers to find anything positive in Bc’s rantings. It is a hatefeul rhetoric against the Town Staff, the good citizens in LBTS, the Vice Mayor the Town Manager and now Commissioner Clottey who is honest and is serving the people.
April 3, 2009 at 10:25 am
Poor Bc. Now Bc is attacking the Furths’ BTST and their accurate news reporting while Bc herself uses a secondhand hearsay letter amd tries to pass it off as factual! This certainly shows a lack of news reporting ability by Bc and a lack intelligence by Bc.
Sources have told us that there is one woman in town who is telling everyone in town she has had it with Bc. She is sick of Bc trying to divide out town and continually attacking its residents and workers. This woman is looking for Bc and has made it clear that she will will be “telling Bc off” right to her face whenever and whereever she sees BC. More and more townspeople realize Bc’s negative agenda is doing nothing but hurting this town. Maybe the Rev should take responsibility for suppotring this behavior of a philosophy of hate. It is clear there can be no excuse to allow these kinds of continual vicious attacks from going on without demanding a stop.
April 4, 2009 at 5:36 am
Is Bc getting the message .. Bc’s buddies at the Future paper are setting Bc up and Bc has proven to be so dumb again. Not seeing the set-up come at Bc and worst of all Bc fell for the Future’s set-up! How many times did Bc say to be sure to read the “explosive ” Future paper? If anything, the Futures made the two exonerated commissioners look good. So all these phantom readers that Bc claims to exist, apparently have to give Bc a credibility rating of ZERO , 0!
Everyday more and more people are closing the door in Bc’s face and shutting Bc OUT! Maybe Bc will finally realize that it seems the town staff and now the town attornsy will not do business with Bc! Bc has burned another bridge! Clearly the new town attorney wants nothing to do with Bc. So congratulations Bc. Looks like Another representative of government blackballing Bc. We will give you the reason why all this is happenening; Bc ‘s blog is so full of divisiseness and hate that noboby wants to deal with a writer displaying such evil behavior.
April 4, 2009 at 6:05 am
There are many things Bc leaves out whenever Bc attacks start each day. Here are some examples of what we are referring to:
Regarding Greenfest: HOW COME BC FORGOT ALL THE UNETHICAL PHONE CALLS MINNET PERSONALLY MADE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY , TURNING THE TOWN FUNDED GREENFEST EVENT INTO AN UNAUTHORIZED, ONE-SIDED POLITICAL EVENT DURING AN ELECTION YEAR, AND DON”T FORGET ..NOT A WORD ABOUT THIS IN BC”S BLOG. Bc’s ZERO CREDIBILITY!
LET’S NOT FORGET WHAT BC LEFT OUT ABOUT THE PALM CLUB. DODD STOOD UP AT A PUBLIC MEETING AND VERY EMPHATICALLY DECLARED THAT HE (DODD) WOULD NOTIFY AUTHORITIES THAT THE PALM CLUB WAS ON PRIVATE PROPRTY( thus making statements that would sabotage FEDERAL FUNDING OF SEWERS FOR THE PALM CLUB) . DOES ANYONE REALLY BELIEVE DOOD WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD NOT KNOW WHO TO CALL??(You know he does his homework)!! Congressman Klein wrote that the government could not provide sewers knowing private ownership of the property. Somebody notified the government of private property ownership and seeing Dodd made it known that it was his plan to make the gov’t aware of ownership, Dodd certainly looks like the guilty squealer!
Bc’s ZERO CREDIBILITY
BC FORGOT TO SAY : In the Election report, MARK H. BROWN, accuser, SAID HE DID NOT HAVE “EVIDENCE” FOR
THE COMPLAINT BUT “SPECULATION’ Of wrongdoing! Bc’s ZERO CREDIBILITY
MORE TO COME!
April 4, 2009 at 6:21 am
Bc always has excuses for the Mayor’s wrongdoings! Bc blames others for turmoil the mayor creates herself!
April 4, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Bc’s ZERO CREDIBILITY AGAIN AND AGAIN
Vice Mayor asked Mayor Minnet which company it was that she had recused herself from voting on the waste (trash) contract. Minnet held up paper and very sarcasticlly announced,That the information is here. VM made it clear that MINNET DID NOT NAME THE COMPANY in her recusal form. MINNET REPLIED , “I DON”T HAVE TO!” ( FOR THIS UNBELIEVABLE STATEMENT, PLAY THE TOWN TAPE RECORDING OF THE COMMISSION CONFERENCE FROM THURSDAY, APRIL 2nd AT 3 p.m.)
BC DID NOT TELL YOU THIS INFORMATION. BC COVERS FOR MINNET AGAIN! WHY DOES MINNET THINK SHE CAN RECUSE HERSELF FROM VOTING AND NOT NAME WHICH COMPANY SHE CLAIMS TO HAVE HAD A CONFLICT WITH?
MORE ZERO BC CREDIBILITY TO COME!
April 5, 2009 at 4:38 am
Bc….BACK TO STALKING HABITS and Eavesdropping on the ViceMayor!
Shame on Bc. In this case. Bc may be violating the law, Stalking is a crime. Bc previouslty wrote and admitted peeping in windows and reporting who Bc could see inside those windows.
April 5, 2009 at 7:45 am
ZERO CREDIBILITY OF BC! AS USUAL
Does Bc Expect anyone to believe Bc’s accounting at scenes when Bc refers to “the man in charge” as the person Bc is getting information From? Bc did not even know who “the man in charge was”! ?? Bc relies on the information of “the man in charge”???? Almost the entire account was information from “the man in charge” Who did Bc’s “man in charge” speak to from the town? Bc reports everything ‘The man in charge” said as if it is fact. WHAT??? ZERO CREDIBILITY Of Bc!
Looks like the VFD made a nice jesture and offerd to help with the finishing up of the pavilion. That was nice . Bc questions if VFD had construction license to help! WHAT??? EVERYONE IS STILL WAITING FOR COMMISSIONER DODD TO PRODUCE THE ENGINEERING DERGREE HE ClLAIMED HE HAD WHILE CAMPAIGNING. Bc just seems to disperse incorrect facts and expects readers to be gullible enough to o believe inaccuracies!
MUCH MORE Bc ZERO CREDIBILITY TO COME!
April 5, 2009 at 7:59 am
MICRO MANAGER ALERT MICRO MANAGER ALERT
WILL THE REAL MICRO MANAGER PLEASE STAND UP?
DODD TRIES SO HARD TO MICRO MANAGE THE TOWN MANAGER BUT EVERYONE KNOWS BC VERY POORLY MICRO MANAGES DODD’S EVERY MOVE and DODD IS Bc’S fallen PUPPET!
April 5, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Bc TRIES TO MICROMANAGE EVERYONE-EVERYTHING-EVERYWHERE
Does Bc really think Bc can run the Ribbon Cutting ceremomies in town! WRONG! Bc says the former Commissioners should be invited to the ceremony! A welcoming invitation has been extended to ALL several times already. Play the government tape and hear for yourself.
WHEN PREVIOUS COMMISSIONS MADE DECISIONS ON PROJECTS AND LEFT OFFICE BEFORE THE RIBBON CUTTING, SPECIAL INVITATIONS WERE NOT MADE FOR THOSE COMMISSIONERS TO ATTEND RIBBON CUTTINGS. Of COURSE THEY WERE WELCOME TO ATTEND. To name a few…
THE $5 MILLION DOLLAR PARKING LOT “FAILURE” on A1A WAS ONE OF THOSE RIBBON CUTTINGS.
THE BEAUTIFUL MINTO PARK WAS ONE OF THOSE RIBBON CUTTINGS .
THE PORTALS WAS ONE OF THOSE RIBBON CUTTINGS. and on and on…
SO WHY DOES Bc now THINK PREVIOUS COMMISSIONERS SHOULD RECEIVE A SPECIAL INVITATION TO THE PAVILION RIBBON CUTTING WHEN SPECIAL INVIATAIONS HAVE NOT EXISTED IN THE PAST TO PAST COMMISSIONERS AT PRIOR RIBBON CUTTINGS? EVERYONE IS INVITED! BC, FORGET ATTEMPTS TO MICRO MANAGE! IT’S NOT WORKING! IT’s NOT YOUR JOB! PERHAPS Bc OWES COMMISSIONER CLOTTEY AND THE TOWN STAFF AN APOLOGY FOR Bc’s UNBELIEVABLE BLOG!
BC WAS NOT CONCERNED PREVIOUSLY ABOUT INVITING THE PREVIOUS COMMISSION TO THE $5 MILLION DOLLAR “FAILED” PAKING LOT OR ANY OTHER PRIOR RIBBON CUTTING! WE NEVER HEARD A WORD ! SO WHY SUDDENLY IS Bc CONCERNED???
MANY WELCOMING INVITATIONS HAVE BEEN EXTENDED TO ALL CITIZENS FROM THE DAIS AND ELSEWHERE. Bc again appears to be meddling in the affairs of the town when it is not Bc’s business! COULD Bc EVER COMPLIMENT ANYONE-ANYTHING- ANYWHERE? PROVEN M.O. of Bc is ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK!
We would like to THANK COMMISSIONER CLOTTEY AND THE TOWN for organizing what we expect to be a very rewarding and enjoyable evening. THANKS TO ALL who spent their time and energy to get involved. THE PAVILION RIBBON CUTTING TAKES PLACE AT SEVEN (7) O’CLOCK TOMORROW EVENING, MONDAY.
April 6, 2009 at 12:51 am
FRUSTRATE BC WHEN Bc FAILS TO MICRO MANAGE
LOOKS LIKE Bc IS TRYING HARDEST TO MICRO MANAGE “INDEPENDENT” COMMISSIONER CLOTTEY WITh NO SUCCESS!
Bc appears to do nothing positive but continues to criticize viciously and OVERSTEP Bc’s BOUNDS. Would you say Bc appears to LOOK “RECKLESS?”
How foolish Bc appears to LOOK making such demands!! YIKES! Bc’s list of “ZERO CREDIBILITY” seems to be stacking up..
April 6, 2009 at 5:28 am
Bc’s CREDIBILITY CONTINUES TO COLLAPSE
YESTERDAY BC ASSURED READERS THAT VFD OFFERED TO HELP WITH THE PAVILION BY DOING CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AT THE PAVILION AND Bc EVEN QUESTIONEd IF THE VFD HAD CONSTRUCTION LICENSES! HOW ABSURD! THIS PROVES, NO CREDIBILITY FOR Bc!
TODAY Bc FINDS OUT HER REPORT FROM YESTERDAY WAS FALSE and BOGUS! HOW COULD Bc BE SO DUMB? THERE WAS NEVER AN OFFER BY THE VFD FOR ANY CONSTRUCTION WORK!
IT TURNS OUT THE VFD SPENT MOST OF THE DAY CLEANING UP THE PAVILION TO MAKE IT MORE BEAUTIFUL FOR THE CEREMONIES TOMORROW. FIND SOMETHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT THE DEDICATED VFD DOING WHT THEY DO BEST..NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS!
April 6, 2009 at 5:45 am
THERE IS A BUZZ GOING AROUND TOWN THAT “EVERYONE IN THE KNOW” IS AVOIDING Bc.
Bc’s AURA OF HATE HAS DRIVEN THEM AWAY, Not OFFERING ANY COMMUNICATION WITH THIS Bc.
PEOPLE OBSERVING Bc AT THE PAVILION YESTERDAY AND TODAY,ALL COMMENTED THAT NO ONE EVEN BOTHERED TO TALK TO Bc EXCEPT COMMISSIONER DODD AND ONE LEASEE OF BUSINESSES( WHO DOES NOT OWN TOWN PROPERTY,NOR EVEN RESIDE IN LBTS).
Bc WAS OBSERVED AT THE PAVILION YESTERDAY AND TODAY, STALKING THE VM. Bc APPROACHED PEOPLE AND THOSE PEOPLE WALKED AWAY FROM Bc. IGNORING Bc SEEMS TO BE MAKING BC CRAZY. MORE AND MORE FALSE STATEMENTS ARE BEING SENT OUT BY Bc AND Bc’s STATEMENTS ARE BEING PROVEN TO BE FALSE!
ZERO CREDIBILITY!
April 8, 2009 at 9:59 am
BC’s CREDIBILITY ZERO AGAIN.
ZERO CREDIBILITY – ROUTINE! Bc CLAIMEDTHE PAVILION WOULD BE CLOSED TODAY BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS! THE PAVILION WAS OPEN TODAY AND Bc PROVED TO BE THE PROBLEM! Bc CANNOT GET FACTS!
April 8, 2009 at 10:14 am
It WAS VERY APPARENT AT THE GRAND OPENING OF THE PAVILION; PEOPLE WERE AVOIDING Bc LIKE THE PLAGUE! DODD WAS HAVING A HARD TIME TRYING TO FIND ANYONE TO TALK TO HIM TOO! BUT WHEN Bc SAW DODD TALKING TO ANYONE, Bc WOULD FLY ACROSS THE EVENT SO Bc WOULD NOT BE STANDING ALONE.
SEEMS ALL THE PEOPLE HAVE BECOME WISE AND ARE FED UP Bc’s HATE AND ATTACK TACTICS.
April 8, 2009 at 10:28 am
SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE CROWD WERE WHISPERING NOT TO SAY A WORD AROUND Bc BECAUSE Bc SEEMS TO CARRY A TAPE RECORDER AROUND EVERYWHERE! NOBODY WANTS TO BE RECORDED CLANDESCENTLY! NOTHING IS SACRED AROUND Bc’s EARS! ISN’T IT SAD THAT SUCH A REPUTATION EXISTS IN THIS SMALL TOWN? Bc, GO BACK TO THE WINDY CITY!
April 8, 2009 at 10:35 am
Bc NEVER MENTIONED THE FACT SANDRA BOOTH TOLD THE CROWD IT WAS THE COMMISSION WHO DIRECTED THE MPSC TO COMPLETE ONE PROJECT AND THE PAVILION WAS THAT ONE PROJECT!
SANDRA BOOTH TURNED AROUND AND LOOKED AT VICE MAYOR MCINTEE BECAUSE IT WAS THE VICE MAYOR WHO MADE IT A POINT FOR THE MPSC TO COMPLETE THIS ONE PROJECT.
April 8, 2009 at 10:38 am
WHAT IS Bc GOING TO DIRECT COMMISSIONER DODD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT AT THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING? SEND SLAP YOUR GUESSES.
April 9, 2009 at 12:32 am
First of all. It is evident Bc recognizes the slapp site, seeing Bc mentioned it in Bc’s “SCUTTLEBUTT.” Many comments from slap readers have been in regard to the Zero Credibility Bc has displayed on Bc’s blog. Looks like Bc has come to believe Bc’s own ZERO CREDIBILITY because the title of Bc’s blog today is “SCUTTLEBUTT.” SCUTTLEBUTT means RUMOR;GOSSIP, NOT FACT BUT RUMOR:GOSSIP. Glad Bc has seen the light! Bc=Zero CREDIBILITY. If you attended the pavilion ribbon cutting, you can verify Bc’s blog to truly be a SCUTTLEBUTT..Bc Gossip!
April 9, 2009 at 1:10 am
Did Bc write ANYTHING NICE OR POSITIVE ABOUT THE PAVILION RIBBON CUTTING? WE SAW A LOT OF HAPPY SMILING FACES, COMMRADERY, FRIENDSHIP AND COMMUNITY PLEASANTNESS! Bc just does not appear to get it. It seems Bc encourages and thrives on hate and viciousness which the citizens want no part of. Therefore, why would anyone want any part of Bc?
Bc said those around Bc shared the same negative thoughts as Bc. Could it be that “aura” around Bc that brings the out worst in people? They were probably afraid of being recorded by Bc and would only agree verbally even though they were enjoying the event.
Bc is disturbed by the town manager ‘s move to “yell” to get the scissors! Bc even said voices could not be heard so if the town manager did not speak loudly, how could anyone have heard her direction? We we there and we never heard the Town manager make a loud sound! Bc must have the Bc tape recording device turned up on HIGH!
Bc does not worry about the noise element Bc and cohorts create when Bc attends commission meetings. Bc has been known to ‘YELL OUT” at commission meetings but has not been asked tp stop. Bc is probably worried now that disscussions at the last “NOT SO ROUND TABLE ” entailed discuussion of enforcement of decorum at commission meetings. Decorum will once again be practiced and that continual rude laughing and continual talking by Bc will no longer be tolerated. The Town Ordinance says, violate decorum, get one warning and after that, out the door you go! That rule of politeness is for Bc to follow too!
Bc called the event “hokey.” Bc ought to know. Bc does the ‘Hokey pokey” every day,like the children. You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out…except Bc puts the right foot in and it ends up in Bc’s mouth! ZERO CREDIBILITY
April 9, 2009 at 1:33 am
Commissioner Clottey performed a very nice job as ‘Master of Ceremonies’ and certainly did scout out the past commissioners in the audience. Commissioner Clottey walked up to EX commissioner CHUCK CLARK WITH HER HAND EXTEXTDED IN A WARM WELCOME, ONLY TO SEE CLARK REFUSE TO SHAKE HER HAND! HOW RUDE. You won’t hear about that rude, crude act on Bc’s blog!
ExCommissioner Yanni was seen keeping his distance from those “Old Guard” members who were once his “friends” and showed tremendous disdain for Commissioner Dodd . But now Yanni is out of power and those Yanni “friends” are willing to smile with Dodd in hopes of using Dodd whenever convenient. Yanni’s OG buddies seem to lack loyalty of sorts. Remember it was Dodd who claimed all those ethics complaints made a “laughing Stock out of LBTS: Did Dodd tell you he filed the ethics complaint against Yanni and it was dismissed? He who laughs last laughs best! Looks like the joke is on Dodd.
April 9, 2009 at 1:54 am
Bc cannot refrain from using the term’kool-aid drinkers’. Bc’s ZERO CREDIBILITY certainly is a far more meaningful term!
Stop Criticizing unfairly! Commissioner Clottey could be heard clearly. Our mayor could not be heard.
Bc’s ZERO CREDIBILITY REEKS THE MOST WHEN Bc STALKS THE VICE MAYOR! For those of you who were not there, after the ceremony, guests were invited inside the pavilion to look at the beautiful cake donated by Aruba and the Village Grill. Many people left their seats and many citizens who were standing approached the pavilion where food and drinks were being served. As far as anyone blocking the quartet, the entire pavilion became filled with laughter and a party atmosphere. After all, the people, both Old guard and New Guard were all inside the pavilion TOGETHER! That is probably what upset Bc!
Dodd was noticed standing in front of the quartet too almost ALL ALONE!
April 9, 2009 at 2:25 am
What happened to Bc between sunset last evening and the time Bc wrote that nasty “Scuttlebutt” attack blog appearing today??? In the prior blog Bc wrote that the Ass’t Dean from the Conservatory of Music congratulated the Town and was happy about the concerts the students would bring forth. He announced a thirty minute concert would take place. It seemed okay with Bc when Bc wrote,”The music began and and people began to get up…walk and talk…as the sun went down…” NOW TODAY Bc MAKES IT SEEMS SO WRONG!
It seemed ok with Bc for the people “to get up …and walk and talk” when Bc wrote this posting but today it seems all wrong! What happened?
Bc was not under the pavilion and missed the good feelings being felt inside. It was a good “aura” inside the pavilion and the students seemed pleased to see the people enjoying themselves. Many people complimented the quartet while standing inside the pavilion where you could actually hear the music being played. Great job, Lynn University Quartet and ZERO CREDIBILITY FOR Bc!
April 9, 2009 at 4:08 am
Bc was closely observed by many people at the pavilion ceremony. The reason this was occuring was because our citizens wanted to be sure if Bc went in one direction, they would go the other way. Do you know anyone who wants to be seen communicating with Bc even for small talk? Bc’s atmosphere of hate has put a black cloud over Bc. No matter where Bc stands the black cloud seems to hang over Bc. And you know no one wants a black cloud hanging over their head. One person who apparently does not seem to care about his reputation is the Rev. As long as the rev continues to associate with Bc while Bc continues to promote hate, the rev will also have no credibility and lack respect from citizens.
April 9, 2009 at 8:49 am
B/C’s Sunset and pavilion Part ONE. Bc’s pictue of the sunset was a kick in the pants to the entire town and am I the only one in town to realize it ? To me this picture spoke a thousand words of insults and unfortunately, I was the only one to realize it. Take a look at it again and you will agree. No complaints about the sunset, the ocean and the sand, supposidly representing our beachside location of the pavilion. The decaying,dying, withered three foot palm tree I am certain is Bc’s representation of our beautiful palm tree. It sounds as if the picture is saying, Here is your beautiful sunset, ocean and sand, and your pavilion is as useless as that withered palm. Do you agree or am I a nut too?
April 9, 2009 at 10:32 am
We have read some unbelievable posts on Bc’s website but Bc’s latest claim of conversations shared with others in attendance at the pavilion event is ridiculous. Several people who communicte to this site regularly watched Bc carefully at the pavilion event. Practically no one even talked to Bc all evening. Bc even ran after Dodd just so the two of them would have someone to talk to. The last report we had for the evening was Penny, Dodd and Bc were standing on the corner in front of the Village Grill with no one even near them. People are shunning Bc and anyone associated with Bc. It seems there is fear of being tape recorded by Bc or even being misquoted by Bc.
April 9, 2009 at 10:48 am
It is time we called the Rev. to task. Bc’s latest attack on Commissioner Clottey is absolutely unacceptable to any decent person. Commissioner Clottey did a great job on the pavilion ceremony. Instead of Bc congratulating and complimenting Commissioner Clottey, Bc condemned Commissioner Clottey. The Rev. knows Commissioner Clottey as a gentle, kind and hard working person. To not voice his displeasure to Bc for Bc’s condemnation of Commissioner Clottey demands that the Rev. resign his post as town chaplain. His assoc and support of Bc gives Bc credibility and destroys his credibily as Rev. Anyone who shows support of a person who generates hate day after day, does not deserve to be called Town Chaplain.
April 9, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Dodd needs to ask himself just how many people spoke to Bc when he was with Bc the night of the pavilion ribbon cutting. Bc is making it sound like a large number of people came up to Bc and spoke about how unhappy they are and how they agreed with Bc. Well I was there the entire night and I didn’t see one person come up to Bc, what I saw was Bc coming up to whoever Dodd or his wife was talking too. Even then, only a couple of them really seemed to speak to Bc. Most avoided Bc, as I did wishing not to have Bc write what I say in Bc’s words.
I’m saying Bc IS MANUFACTURING Bc’s own popularity to meet Bc’s needs of staying in the limelight.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD”VE HAPPENED IF CLARK DIDN’T SHAKE DODD’s HAND IF HE EXTENDED IT! CLARK REFUSED TO SHAKE CLOTTEY’s HAND!
It was not perfect, but a very nice time to which Bc found so many negatives and hateful things to write. Clotty did a fine job. If Bc thinks Bc can do better, then Bc should volunteer instead of complaining.
Bc is only hurting the town and keeping the people divided. This is the only way Bc thinks Bc can keep the attention her way. Sad.
April 10, 2009 at 10:23 am
Bc demonstrates how ill informed Bc is and even admits her stupidity. When the Vice Mayor was voted the title, “Vice Mayor’”it was known , PLAIN AND SIMPLE that it was only for one two year term. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT EXCEPT Bc. Bc thinks it is something Bc uncovered! Pay attention Bc, It has always been a fact that the term for Vice Mayor is only one term only.
Bc =ZERO CREDIBILITY AGAIN
April 10, 2009 at 11:07 am
Bc is ranting again, hashing over old news. Bc convenienlty is not discussing Bc’s activities at the pavilion ceremonies. Bc was outed for not telling the truth. Too many people know that Bc was like a leper. Best to avoud.
We have also heard from reliable sources that Mike Batt was not happy that Bc mentioned his restaurant in Bc’s blog. Fear is loss of business due to Bc’s publicity and frequency in his establishment.
It’s a shame that the only restaurant left in town for Bc to eat in will be the restaurant (on a different corner) that Bc very strongly disapproved of for lousy food. Can you guess which restaurant that is? Bc once told many people, the only thing “hubby By The sea” could even eat in that place was the flaming cheese everything else was disgusting. Many people were in disbelief when Bc would sprinkle about 20 packs of sugar subtitute on Bc’s food. Many strange habits of Bc. How many sticks of sugar-free gum does Bc unwrap during one commission meeting? Watch and you will see. Pay attention and send your count after the next meeting on Tuesday.
April 10, 2009 at 11:31 am
Honorable Readers, We will take few days off, must go out of town ,Bc’s continual rantings get old and distasteful. We prefer happiness, laughter and fun and will return in a few days. Happy Easter.
April 16, 2009 at 9:00 am
Back in town, Back in business. Remember in our recent posting how we were discusing the lack of credibilty on Bc’s blogs. We gave you many examples of why we believe Bc’s credibility is ZERO. Yesterday’s commission meeting highlighted that fact that Mayor Minnet is in the process of being recalled from her Board of Directors position at Minnet’s Royal Coast Condo. Just imagine, a sitting mayor of our town is in the process of being recalled from one of the largest condos in our community. It should be front page news and discussed aggressively in our town. Well, we have not seen a word of it in Bc’s blog, What does that show you folks? Bc’s credibility is proven ZERO. We will have to wait and see if the big story appears in the Pelican paper as reporter J. Vik was sitting in the audience and heard the whole story.
It seems the big question is, IF THE MAYOR CAN’T RUN A CONDO, HOW COULD MINNET POSSIBLY RUN A TOWN? It is sad to think people in the Royal Coast are FALSELY hearing and FALSELY being told that Vice Mayor Mcintee is to blame for Minnet’s recall, The Vice mayor had nothing to do Minnet’s Recall. It’s about time Minnet accepted responsibility for her own actions.
April 16, 2009 at 9:16 am
Bc’s back to hatemongering attacks. This time viciously going after Commissioner Clottey, another former friend castigated by Bc. Bc clearly has a mean streak that clearly says , do it my way or face my wrath. People have a right to have their own opinion BUT in Bc’s world, if your opinion is not like Bc’s, you become an enemy overnight. Sooner or later, Dodd will learn the hard way. Bc has turned into a tyrant and a BIG BULLY!
April 16, 2009 at 10:42 am
Bc=ZERO CREDIBILITY AGAIN. Bc never mentioned the fact that Commissioner Silverstone credited the 4 commissioners, Minnet, Clottey, McIntee and Silverstone for helping with the Easter Event while DODD, WHO WAS AT THE EASTER EGG HUNT NEVER MADE ONE MOVE TO HELP AT ALL WITH THE EASTER EVENT!
Bc =ZERO Credibility AGAIN. Bc mentioned that Dodd did not attend the Easter Service but was downtown with his dog. Commissioner Silversatone said Dodd was right there when the chairs were being put away and DODD WOULD NOT HELP AT ALL AGAIN.
Bc= ZERO CREDIBILITY AGAIN. Bc ALWAYS LIKE TO ATTACK the VM but Bc fails to tell you about Dodd’s ill-mannered behavior. Just watch and you can catch the bad behavior yourself. When Dodd does not like comments made about him, HE HAS BEEN SEEN TO THROW HIS PEN ONTO THE DAIS. HE HAS ALSO BEEN OBSERVED BALLING UP A PIECE OF PAPER AND THROWING IT DOWN ON THE DAIS. SO does Bc really think these childish, angered behaviors are ‘taking comments in stride’?
April 16, 2009 at 10:54 am
Bc= ZERO CREDIBILITY AGAIN. Bc never mentioned the forgery by spiro . It was admitted that spiro had written the name of the women on the official town sign-in public comment document thus creating a forgery. Is this forgery? You be the judge. Forgery is the simulated signing of another’s name.
April 16, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Bc craves for information on the 4th but gets info from commission meeting agenda back up only. Wonder Why! Seems nobody talks to Bc, sources dried up. People have learned to be careful talking around Bc. Wouldn’t you be on alert and careful when a blogger has revealed clandescent notes have been recorded and could be used against you at any given time? Be careful. If Dodd does not relay certain info, Bc has NO KNOWEDLGE and the info put out by Bc is Zero credibility anyway. Do you ever hear both sides of a story? NO! Dodd seems to be ostrircized due to the heavy demands placed on him by his puppeteer, Bc.
April 16, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Bc would like you to believe that those speaking out against the Noise ordinance showed up on their own “without anyone leaning on them to come to speak.” What a JOKE! Gullible would seem to be the word Bc believes of Bc’s readers! Do you think’ Elvis’, restaurant servers, entertainers and and the like would even know where to locate Jarvis Hall unless they were directed? Those seeking MONEY and greed were the slew of unknown speakers who showed up to speak! Chances of unknown, non-residents ‘parading ‘ up to the podium would be far more suspiciuos than knowledgeable residents and taxpayers who actually pay taxes here. Very suspicios these unknowns showed up to speak unless they were told to have their”parade’ march up to the podium!Those speakers had not read the back up and were not even aware of what the ordinance meant but rather indicated they were told the entertainment would be shut down ! You can fool some of the people some of the time…
April 16, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Bc writes, “The mayor spoke eloquently frequently…” Can the mayor even speak without her speeches written before the meeting? Have not seen it happen yet! When the mayor reads statements written before the meeting begins , how then can the mayor say she is following the “will of the people?” How would she even know the “will of the people” until discussions concluded? Iit is obvious that her long winded statements were written before the discussions…
Dodd follows along with his pre-written diatribes and pre-written speeches too! It would be nice to see both the mayor and dodd speak without reading verbatim speeches which were written before the meeting. Its got nothing to do with doing one’s homework, IT”S CALLED THINKING ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET! and listening to the” will of the people” after they have spoken!
April 16, 2009 at 11:22 pm
It would be easy to start each comment of Bc with…Bc=ZERO CREDIBILITY. YOU never get both sides of anything Bc tells you!
PROOF: Bc tells you Frank Herman spoke of the AMR, VFD and an article written by Michael Arker (Arker’s the developer and publisher of the Future paper who Bc strongly criticized in the past. Remember Bc claimed Arker called Bc a nasty name. Bc now has changed tunes)
HERMAN VERY STRONGLY PRAISED AMR, VFD AND JERRY MCINTEE BUT FAR BE IT FROM Bc TO REPORT SUCH POSITIVE RAVING REVIEWS.,therefore once again, Bc=Zero credibility.
April 16, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Bc=ZERO CREDIBILITY Bc would have you believe that the citizens do not want to hear what certain speakers opposing Bc have to say, quite the contrary. Bc tries to wrongfully set the stage. When mrs. mcintee got up to speak after being attacked, you could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet. Bc accuses herself of a groan. How rude! How impolite! How childish! And Bc has the nerve to write about lack of decorum at commission meetings! Decorum is manners. Has Bc no manners and seems proud to admit lacking manners? Bc is fast to make continual false accusations and false claims against others without proof.
Bc=ZERO CREDIBILITY AGAIN.
April 17, 2009 at 12:09 am
Bc = ZERO CREDIBILITY
Not only has Bc been disparaging Commissioner Clottey, it seems now Bc is making what appear to be a threatening statement. This is unacceptable. Bc’s writing tells Commissioner Clottey to “Stay in the North…” WOW! ARRRGGGHHHH! UUUNNNBBBEEELLIIEEVVAABBBLLEE!
Commissioner Clottey is an honest, fine, respected Commissioner but because Clottey is proving to be an independent , free thinker and obviously DOES NOT VOTE ” THE Bc /DODD WAY “, Bc writes vicious attacks against Clottey. We have read Bc’s discreditting, belittling, unappreciative, reproaching remarks against Clottey which only further prove Bc’s ZERO CREDIBILITY.
April 17, 2009 at 4:50 am
Typical Bc M.O. Bc=ZERO CREDIBILITY SHAME ON Bc .
Business wanting cafe appoval change has been through the process before and ought to know how to operate a business properly. Was the amended plan sent to the town yet as required by law? State law calls for Tallahassee to approve serving liquor in area when cafe plan is amended and then approved by the state . Liquor cannot be served illegally as everyone knows. Some businesses may think they can violate code time after time. A documented track record is proof when laws are kept or laws are broken. Who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted? Good businesses know the rules on how to run a business , follow the rules and are respected and trustworthy.
What didn’t the business and Bc understand? Stop whining. Know the rules. Follow the rules just like everybody else and there would be no complaints.
Does Bc remember when those businessguys discarded the longtime lady restaurant workers from property? Such a BIG STINK (pun )was made and such condemnation was crying out from every corner of LBTS as to the treatment the former restaurant people at the pier received.
April 17, 2009 at 5:28 am
Trying to catch up. Just heard about part of the sermon given by the Reverand Goldsmith at the Easter Morning Service at the pavilion. He said to BUILD UP ….NOT TEAR DOWN BY ATTACK. This is one Town Event that Bc should have attended so as to report goodness. Incase Bc didn’t hear the Reverand’s message, The Reverand said, BUILD UP…NOT TEAR DOWN BY ATTACK.
Building up is good. Thank you Rev. Goldsmith.
April 19, 2009 at 4:54 am
Bc’s ZERO CREDIBILITY has been proven several times on this site BUT THERE IS ONE POINT Bc gets 100% on credibility AND THAT IS Bc ATTACKING THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH Bc! Guaranteed…Bc has made it clear that Bc records and Keeps clandescent recordings of conversations and events with Bc. Bc made it clear ,conversations (thought private and confidential )can be used against you. Of course , what are chances of statements even being presented truthfully by Bc????? Would you agree highly doubtful? Can anyone trust the likes of such actions???? Bc has proven to use clandescent statements against those who disagree with Bc. Bc seems to sit on the seat’s edge itching and waiting. Be careful. It could be a matter of time and circumstances!
April 19, 2009 at 10:15 am
Bc ZERO CREDIBILITY. NEVER WAS THE 5-9p.m. time even discussed by the commission for the Pavilion Ribbon Cutting and Bc was there in the audience when it was decided on March10, 2009 at the Commission meeting! PLAY THE TAPE! Bc claims “the original time was set for 5-9 p.m. ” AND EVEN GOES SO FAR AS TO ACCUSE COMMISSIONER CLOTTEY OF CHANGING THE TIME! What a flat out lie by Bc and it is proven a lie! Mayor Minnet said on March 10th,” Madame Manager, we are set for April 6th at 7 p.m.” Minnet even asked each individual commissioner if 7 p.m. on the 6th was ok! …Commissioner Clottey never changed it! It was always 7p.m. Bc tries to defend the future paper for printing inaccurate and wrong information. Bc =ZERO CREDIBILITY
April 19, 2009 at 10:53 am
Bc’s CREDIBILITY IS ZILCH AGAIN. Bc thinks Bc is now an Election Official Investigator. Only problem is Bc does not know how to do or generarte a fact. Bc has generated lies . Bc is traveling in the land of libel and slander when Bc claims something not substantited against an individual as if it is fact. There is a huge difference between stating opinion as being a truthful fact. To express opinion as fact is a problem that gets many individuals into serious legal difficulties. WHEN Bc MISINTERPRETS AND CLEARLY DISTORTS THE OFFICIAL STATE OF FLORIDA ELECTIONS COMMISSION ORDER OF NO PROBABLE CAUSE, Bc SHOULD FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.
April 19, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I love it when BC lies and keeps on reducing Bc credibility by twisting or spinning the true story. Last Saturday there was a death on the beach the result of a diving accident as reported in the Sun Sent. The woman had the accident about a quarter mile off the beach as was DOA in the water. BC seems to be a born liar and appears caught now with Bc lies
April 20, 2009 at 7:56 am
Bc’s CREDIBILITY IS ZERO Again. VM was home in bed. It was Louie’s I Phone, You know the Vigilante businessman trying to catch his business neighbors with music too LOUD! Heard Bc is the CO-VIGILANTE behind the scenes conspiring with Louie. Anybody seen Bc behind a tree, watching, participating?
April 20, 2009 at 8:36 am
Looks like the Rev has seen the light. Bc is tolerated less and less and it appears keeping one’s distance is good for the mind and soul.
April 21, 2009 at 9:37 pm
LOOKS LIKE Bc DERAILED AGAIN. Bc=ZERO CREDIBILITY
Bc’s frivilous insinuations ot Sunshine violations were “Slapped down” by the Town Attorney who stated “ONE PERSON DOES NOT TRIGGER SUNSHINE…” “…3rd PARTIES HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRIEF.”
So McIntee and Silverstone are following the correct procedures.
YOU DID NOT HEAR ONE MENTION OF THE TOWN ATTORNEY’S STATEMANTS BY Bc!
April 22, 2009 at 5:33 am
Bc SHORT MEMORY – ZERO CREDIBILITY- REMEMBER WHEN Bc was FURIOUS because Bc accused MICHAEL ARKER ( ex Town board member and Publisher of Future paper) OF CALLING Bc a”COLON” publicly at a Town Board Meeting? Bc was so upset and brought forth the “Colon” namecalling at next Commission Meeting. Bc didn’t hesitate to run to Commissioner McIntee to support Bc and McIntee did support Bc. While Bc believed Arker seemed to take pride in putting down Bc. Bc believed Arker was caught on tape doing such a nasty deed to Bc.
NOW Bc writes of the same Michael Arker’s future paper…(when our Town Manager is mocked on television by Jay Leno for headline printed in Arker’s Future’s paper ,”TOWN’s COLON RECEIVED AN AWARD”. Leno showed a photo of Town Manager Esther Colon and Minnet and the presenter and makes mocking statements in reference to Esther Colon’s name. Bc seems to think referring to someone else as a “COLON” is amusing and even gives kudos to Michael Arker’s Future paper. Bc did NOT think it was funny when Bc was under attack by the same Michael Arker with the “COLON” remark directed at Bc. Bc writes “Nice going…BTSFuture (National recognition) .” Bc gives ‘KUDOS’ to the man who sent the future headline to Leno. Bc= ZERO CREDIBILITY.
April 23, 2009 at 4:41 am
“That is a step in the right direction” Bc did not want to hear those words from the Miami Life guard, when he was commenting on the VFD buying the Jet Ski. BC is so desperate to say negative things Bc just can’t get over anything positive coming from the VFD or VM. BC has loss credibility and we all know it. Bc sources are drying up all over town and everyone is distancing themselves from BC. It appears BC can say nothing nice about anyone. Bc cheers on Jay Leno to disparaging our town and the Manager. The guy behind Bc was Mark B, Bc’s new buddy. One of the other people in this town very much disliked. While, it will be over sooner or later tThis evil could effect BC’s mind and next,health, could break down. No one can have this much hate without it effecting the health. BC already is loading three strips of bacon with about thirty packages of sweet and low, how sick is that?
April 23, 2009 at 4:46 am
BC is having trouble in Bc’s Condo. Several people have indicated that when Bc walks toward them, either turn around and face their back to Bc or walk the other way away from Bc. It appears Bc is not even welcome in Bc’s own Condo. People were furious when they heard Bc had taken By The Sea Times away from the distribution point.
April 23, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Just read a little of Bc’s ZERO CREDIBILITY AND ZERO CREDIBILITY IS APPEARING MORE AMND MORE. Bc claims that VM “accused” a man in the audience of shouing out loud during the commission meeting. Bc says man did not speak out,” SHUT UP” as she was sitting next to him. WHAT WERE THE EXACT WORDS Bc ? DOES IT DEPEND ON THE MEANING OF IS? IT IS CLEAR FLEISHMAN WAS OUT OF ORDER BY SHOUTING FROM HIS SEAT.THREE TIMES. PLAY THE TOWN TAPE! YOU CAN HEAR “the mAn” YELL LOUDLY THREE TIMES! LOOKS LIKE THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS ALL NEED TO SAY THEY ALSO HEAR NOISE WHEN AUDIENCE MEMBERS ARE OUT OF ORDER! BUT WHO IS GOING TO BELIEVE Bc OR THE OTHER CHARACTER WHEN THERE IS CLEAR EVIDENCE SHOUTING? Bc ZERO CREDIBILITY.
April 23, 2009 at 8:19 pm
What has passage of the noise ordinance got to do with several businesses leaving town? The businesses leaving could probably care less about a noise ordinance . Put the blame of suffering businesses where it belongs!… ON THE SHOULDERS OR DODD AND MINNET. They brought back the parking meter bag issue. The free parking bags for hurting businesses were removed. Many businesses indicated the need for free meters for customers to even stay in business. The Bank United came before the Commission to try to prepay parking for their customers. It was denied due to previos brainy denial pushed by Dodd and Minnet.The bank suffers from decreased business due to patrons having to put money in meters inorder to do business!
Those businesses concerned about noise ordinace will NOT have a problem when they respect the rights of all citizens in town.
April 23, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Did you guess it would be a matter of time before Bc tried to micromanage The 101 Restaurant in town? Now Bc is FINDING FAULT WITHTHE 101 RESTAURANT! WOW! Well, it seems it finally happened. Bc is complaining the regular customers are not receiving enough food for the likes of Bc. Bc, frquenting the number of restaurants in town as a “regular” has seemed to have decreased. Wonder Why? Did Bc look at the other customer’s plates to see if they too had cutbacks on their plates ? We were there with a party of eight and our entire party could not even finish their portions, the portions were too large. Bc better look around to see if Bc is the only one being deprived of food. Is there a meaasge?
April 26, 2009 at 5:22 am
Just the facts: Bcs old friends are now enemies of Bc except Comm Dodd who BC has destroyed his public life in our town. Now Bcs socalled new friends are all the old guard types Bc said things about we could not print. This BC seems to be a space cadet and completely lost to reality. Inside peope of the old gaurd think BC is a flaming a hole. It is hate and a matter of being used. Bc is not on the inside of what they are doing because they know they cannot trust Bc. Trust is something you earn. Once you loose trust,whether it is this town or any Hometown, USA, you are dog meat and BC is rotten dog meat.. BC money turns people off and that is something that eventuallty will be the ruin of Bc completely. The best way to put this fable in layman terms is to go back to the Second World War ,the free French held their loyalty to the allies, the Vichy French turned rat and supported the Germans, when the war was over the Vichy people were ostrizied in France, they actually shaved the woman bald to show their contempt for these traitors. So in all fairness BC is a traitor to many and a snitch to others. What a way to decsribe the life of a resident of our town but it is a true and fair comparison.
April 26, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Bc=ZERO CREDIBILITY—-Half of the story is usual m.o. for”Dear “(Bc). Bc tells you about a resident and Bc overhearig Peanuts talking to Minnet. Blah, blah. blah.. But Bc fails to tell you the eavesdropping resident, THE BOOR F, called Peanuts , “A piece of Shi-.” Bc fails to tell you about the boorish antics of the Boor resident! Bc supports and condones individuals who wrongfully act aggressively and threaten our citizens. What does that say about Bc? Volumes!
If individuals are Greek, then they are referred to as Greeks. And that is common knowledge. Peanuts was correct in asking Minnet if the Greeks would be in control of the meeting. We have seen meeting after meeting where Minnet allows the Greeks to diregard all protocol. Minnet is one of the worst Mayors this town has ever seen. If you watch the commission tape, you will see the Greeks walk to the podium while the Assisstant Town Manager was answering questions at the podium. NO ONE HAD ASKED THE GREEKS TO COME FORWARD AT THAT TIME. The Greeks actually hovered over the Asst. Town Manager while he was still answering questions. Bc SUPPORTS BULLIES. Bcs credibility ZERO.
April 27, 2009 at 11:03 am
“DEAR” Bc’s recent rantings about the VFD will not warrant a response other than this short communicae. Bc’s crediblity has been proven to be ZERO several times. Bc’s own statements have verified that Bc’s CREDIBILITY IS ZERO. Bc admits that Bc’s printed information is HEARSAY. Bc seems clearly delusional. Anyone who prints HEARSAY and admits it , is obviously desparate to write anything.
April 27, 2009 at 11:14 am
“DEAR” Bc . It would seem your new best friend, Mayor Minnet has had the biggest embarrassment a sitting politician could have. Minnet has been recalled by her own neighbors, the people who know her best. There is NO WAY TO SPIN THE FACT THAT MINNET FAILED TO SERVE HER FELLOW CONDO OWNERS HONORABLY. Minnet failed to listen to the will of those being served. Minnet must now suffer the consequences .
May 5, 2009 at 10:43 am
A new low was reached today by BC, a family, mother and daughter loss their father in a very traumatic way. BC chose to broadcast the event to the whole town. BC appears to have no class, no moral compass and looks like a disgrace to this town. There is No legitimate reason to make all this info public fotter. Think of the young girl , the widow. Will God punish Bc? Bc infringing on personal tragedies is wrong. SHAME ON Bc. Go back to Chicago. Can’t think of one reason for Bc to stay!
May 5, 2009 at 10:55 am
Recent statements by BC that Aruba was not having the BASH because of the noise ordinance in town, are as usual suspect lies from BC. Seems No one will talk to Bc so no one will tell Bc what is going on, but the truth is Peggy thinks BC has proven to be is a nasty b——– wants nothing to do with Bc, Seems the only people left in town who deal with Bc seems are the Greeks, now there is a good pair . Seems no one wants to deal with them either. It appears the general feeling in town is these guys are the reason the businesses are having trouble. They got greedy and ruined it for everyone. So BC as clearly stated in town you have been called a liar.
May 5, 2009 at 10:59 am
Hate mongerer BC clearly shows the color of hate in recent posts. Just a few months ago Comm Clotty was a star in BC eyes, the greatest, the smartest the best new Commissioner. Now BC viciously attacks Comm Clotty calling her vile names. BC hates so bad it clearly seems BC needs help. Just think three months ago,Clotty a great person , now an evil person. Why this treatment of Comm. Clotty? It seems the reason is because BC could not control this fine woman and that BC can’t stand it. In Comm Dodd’s situation, look what the great advice from BC has done for him . Practically The WHOLE TOWN has turned on the guy. The friends he thinks he has are only stroking him to use him. Does anyone truly beleive any of the old guard want any part of this guy or BC ? Of course not but they will use them.
May 6, 2009 at 8:22 am
Have not been reading the Bc posts lately and what a clean, wonderful, happy feeling to be free of Bc’s hateful attacks and negativity. Too bad for Bc that Bc writes with such vengance and hurt each day. Bc ought to step away from the computer and Bc’s poison pen and enjoy a bit of true happiness.
May 6, 2009 at 10:05 am
BC is completely off the mark on the child rescue. The Deputy did a good job but he was not alone. One simple fact Chief Perkins picked up the child and handed it to the deputy to take outside. The Sheriff is pulling a public relations scam and it is not fair to all especially the Deputy who did do a good job but not all the things they claim he did. There is a VFD press release that tells the truth.
May 6, 2009 at 10:07 am
BC has really stirred a hornets nest over release of death of man in Bel Air . It is understood the family was so upset they are getting an attorney. Dodd did a great job giving this info to BC . Now, it appears both of them are hurting the whole town. How much pain can be inflicted up on a town by individuals who lack human feelings and sympathy and act so brutally?
May 18, 2009 at 10:34 am
To Our Dedicated Readers; We were on a two week cruise so we must apologize for lack of prompt posting. We are fortunate enough to realize that life offers much happiness and fulfillment with many pleasentries. It is not our priority to respond to every lie by Bc! On of fthe biggest problems we have found now is that Bc is writing so many pages of gobbley-gook that it is impossible to read through! The consumption of our time is limited. The shocking realization appears that Bc has hired a ghost rider to write uninteresting, unbelievable gobbley-gook. Bc has been lowered to advertise in the paper once despised by Bc. This is a clear indication of how everything is backwards: friends are now enemies, truth is lies, and lies are being passed off as truth. We hear written representations are being generated by others and Bc claiming ownership, good is bad and bad is good! Many have pondered the reason for all of this irrational and hate-filled rhetoric. The only reason many could justify these bizarre actions is that Bc has been a lonely child and lonely adult. Bc’s money and wealth are the tools used to buy notoriety and attention even though this attention is negative and would be unwanted by anyone in their right mind.
May 18, 2009 at 10:47 am
We are in the process of reviewing Bc’s blog entries of the past two weeks and Bc’s ridiculous statements are becoming redunant and routine. —-Attacks on the vVce Mayor, attacks on the VFD, and now constant belittling of Commissioner Clottey on any action taken by Clottey. We did hear that Bc was no where to be found when the 4 commissioners met for the decibel reading. Sources have said that Dodd is trying to dump Bc but Dodd is fearful that when he dumps Bc, Dodd will be the target of attack by Bc just as Clottey is now, due to showing lack of support for Bc!
May 18, 2009 at 10:58 am
One of the clearest proofs that Bc is clearly a hate monger and appears to be a rabid dog is that Bc shows absolutely no neutrality when it comes to reporting legitmate news of the town that Bc does not want you to hear. Recently Mayor Minnet was recalled from her Condo board and Bc says nothing. One of Minnet’s puppets made numerous complaints to the county building department about the conditions of her building. One result was the building was slapped with an immediate vacate order posted on the exterior. What is the result of minnet’s action? Every property owner in that structure has taken a massive loss in their property value. When selling their condo, they must now indicate that the structure was CONDEMED BY THE COUNTY. Again, not one word in Bc’s blog. Bc’s credibility =Zero
More to come later.. Lots to catch up!
May 19, 2009 at 9:56 am
Bc is in a real quagmire. Bc cannot figure out how to make the two water rescues under the direction of Deputy Chief Jerry McIntee look bad. No matter how desperate Bc tries to make the saving of two lives look bad, this is one Bc CANNOT SPIN! The Dep Chief was clearly in charrge of the courageous Firefiighters and all performed with excellence.
May 19, 2009 at 10:11 am
We observed all local television stations carrying the VFD rescue and the two local newspapers ruunning the rescue story with outstanding complementary photos and reports showing the rescue. The human interest story even appeared nationally on the Weather Channel. This was tremendous press showing how the Volunteer Fire Department has proven their competence beyond all expectations. Whoever the volunteers are using as their Public Information Officer certainly did a great job on this release. This was great publicity for our town.
May 19, 2009 at 10:21 am
The funniest thing heard today was Minnet wants the lifeguards again! Minnet will say or do anything to make the successful Volunteer Fire Department look bad. Don’t forget, Minnet’s entire political campaign revolved around BSO remaining as the town’s sole fire suppression department. It drives Minnet crazy when the VFD proves success and Minnet will do anything to rain on the VFD ‘s parade. Don’t forget, Minnet voted against the VFD Beach Patrol even though the Town Attorney cited the Supreme Court’s ruling which supported creation of the VFD Beach Patrol. The Town Attorney already spoke on beach protection and suits. Stop wasting our tax dollars on questions already answered by the Town Attorny.
May 19, 2009 at 10:36 am
We are seeing more and more people distancing themselves from Bc. The few who remain are the losers in our community. It’s a disgrace how Bc has destroyed Dodd’s political carrer. Anybody who associates with an individual who pays others to write a blog and advertises in a “rag Paper” as Bc has referred to that paper, will no doubt be painted with the same black brush. Beware, Bc will attempt to destroy anyone who is in disagreement with Bc! It’s only a matter of time.
May 19, 2009 at 10:41 am
Commissioner Clottey is wise enough to know that citizens will not vote to raise taxes in order to pay for lifeguards. This town will never vote to pay for lifeguards and Clottey will not be suckered in to putting such a foolish referendum on the ballot.
May 20, 2009 at 9:43 am
One thing is for cetain. Bc continues to be ZERO CREDIBILITY. Bc makes up up total lies!
Vice Mayor McIntee did show up at the concert last night after Monday VFD Drill (which he attends every single Monday) and after answering two emergency fire calls.
Commissioner Silverstone left the concert inorder to answer fire call, also.
Marc and Cristie had to leave the concert due to a hospital call which Commissioner Clottey had been advised about before the concert..
So you see all Commissioners supported Commissioner Cottey,except Commissioner Dodd . BY THE WAY, Bc NEVER MENTIONED COMMISSIONER DODD WHO WAS THE “REAL NO SHOW!”
May 20, 2009 at 9:50 am
Bc criticizes Commissioner Clottey on decorum when Bc is one of the worst offenders LACKING DECORUM. You will observe Bc quite frequently acting rudely and lacking manners during public meetings. Bc sits at commission meetings giggling like a four year old at a puppet show. Maybe Bc is laughing at Bc’s own puppet, Dodd, up on the stage.
May 20, 2009 at 10:01 am
When the Vice Mayor says or does something nice, you can bet you will never hear Bc acknowledge anything nice about the Vice Mayor .
Bc tells that the VM said lots of volunteers will be needed for the 4th of July festivities but Bc FAILED TO TELL how the Vice Mayor went on for quite a while promoting all town residents to join together and participate together. The VM even mentioned various neighborhoods by name, encouraging volunteerism throughout the town. You won’t hear nice things about the Vice Mayor from Bc!
May 20, 2009 at 10:07 am
Bc has no idea what Mutual Aid means in the fire world yet tries to pretend expertise. Mutual Aid is when one dept. calls another dept . for help. The fire Bc talked about was a border line call where both dept. where dispatched by 911 because dispatch was not sure in which town the fire was located. That dispatch had nothing to do with a Mutual Aid call. Bc =Zero Credibility.
May 20, 2009 at 10:13 am
It is pretty clear that the ISO staff was laughing at Bc and trying to tell Bc that Bc is a nobody: stop bothering us! Rules are rules and Bc thinks Bc can break rules. Bc found out otherwise! Follow the rules Bc and tell us more of your failings.
May 22, 2009 at 11:07 am
The “droaning on ” of Bc’s blog have discouraged many people from even going to Bc’s site. Bc has a problem with reality and Bc forces Bc upon others, always butting in everybody’s business.
We hear from muliilpe sources tha there was no need for air-conditioning at the 4th of July meeting. Bc’s mere presence cast a frost of cold air throughout the room.
May 22, 2009 at 11:29 am
We have a FLASH for Bc. It’s called a DOSE of REALITY! Something Bc never understood is that Loyalty between co-workers and friends is a trait cherished by most. Evertime Bc attacks the Town Manager or town employess , as Bc does on a daily basis, those employess who are loyal and trusting of their boss develop a deeper hate of Bc – more than Bc could ever believe. We know how those employees feel and the reason for their animosity is certainly understood because of their loyalty to their honest, faithful boss, the Town Manager. Bc has a nasty habit of slinging lies about the Town Manager. As a result, more and more people have disassocited themselves from Bc and shun any kind of contact with Bc.
We now understand after observing Bc’s many, many deceitful and hurtful actions, why Bc has never told anyone of prior friendships. There probably never were any. When Bc mentioned family relatives, it was negative and sad, sad, sad. Bc’s hateful actions tell it all!
May 22, 2009 at 11:40 am
The dumbest thing we have heard from Bc is Bc’s support and push to create an Open Container Law in our little town, allowing drinking of alcoholic products on our streets. If there is one thing the citizens of our town don’t want is to turn our little town into an open bar full of drunks.
Commissioner Dodd, again listening to Bc will continue to live in havoc.
How dumb can Bc and Dodd be? The citizens in this town are not a bar culture and will not stand for an Open Container law.
June 1, 2009 at 11:12 am
We here at Slapbc have tried to take off as much time as possible because we know we will have to gear up for the election, so you our readers can hear THE TRUTH. Recently we have seen an increase in the delusional. repetitive pages of dribble in the writings of Bc. We have received hundreds of requests to go back to a daily format to debunk Bc. Unlike Bc, in our defense, we do not have the advantage of hiring a paid employee to spend hours of time to respond to the various false , hate-filled statements made by Bc. We are not into namecalling and we are not in the business of responding to every bit of false information continually told by Bc. We promise our faithful readers, we will be more aggressive and responsive in PRESENTING THE TRUTH and DEFEATING THE LIES OF Bc.
June 2, 2009 at 8:57 am
Bc is fighting a loosing battle when desparately trying to defend the restaurant brothers.. They have clearly shown by their actions that they are the root of their own problems in this community. When a citizen is walking into Jarvis Hall and is verbally attacked by a group of men led by these brothers, and they tell this citizen to go F–k his mother, they have crossed the line. Every time they come to speak publicly, their rhetoric shows their boorish approach to reality. For the record, Bc has stated numerous times that the brothers food is the worst food and Bc would not eat in their resturant if it was the last restaurant in town. So you see folks, Bc continues to repeat her deceptive schemes , fabricating excuses for UNACCEPTABLE BAD BEHAVIOR.
June 2, 2009 at 9:07 am
Here we go again because Bc says it, it must be fact. We are going to be sued by the Brothers Grim. Bc is so desperate to give credibilty to these wretched businessmen that in the course of their defense, Bc destroys Bc’s own credibility. Everytime they go on town tv, VM McIntee and Commissioner Silverstone pick up more and more votes and Bc continues to loose support.
June 2, 2009 at 9:24 am
For Bc to claim that an attack on the “brothers” is planned is typical of Bc’s poison pen style: Bc makes accusations without any backing or proof. We look at the major supporters of Bc: The MEAN-SPIRITED CLOWN from Terra Mar (just watch recorded Commission meetings and witness for yourself) and of course the brothers Grim who owe money, owe money, owe money! Check the brothers Grim tax record where you will find unpaid taxes. And they claim to be pillars of the community! And of course three months ago, Commissioner Clottey could do no wrong according to Bc. Bc praised Commissioner Clottey repeatedly for being independent, honest and sincere. Clottey would not be another puppet of Bc’s.SSOOOOOO…Big mistake for Clottey! When anyone crosses Bc, Bc tries to destroy, destroy, destroy! Same ol, same ol lies.
June 2, 2009 at 10:38 am
Bc condemns the brothers grim with one statement. Bc confirms that the nasty derogatory statement was made to Marc Furth. Can you imagine adults speaking like this to anyone? This is an example that Bc’s gross defense of these two brothers is falling on deaf ears throughout the town!
Bc claims there was a BSO officer in the back of the room who could have “hightailed it out of the hall” to respond to Marc being attacked but there were no deputies in the back of the room as the video showed on tv after the bully businessmen exited the hall.
These two brothers are the real bullies and have proven so.
June 2, 2009 at 11:29 am
Thanks Bel Air Resident for taking the time to correspond. Thanks for acknowledging the fact that VM McIntee was compassionate and kind in his treatment of the family in BelAir who suffered a tragedy recently. However your defense of Bc reporting this event is worthless. Bc thrives on smut and Bc tried to turn an extremely sad situation into sensationalism. Don’t kid yourself.
You say you only know Bc from town topics/meetings & Bc’s site. As Bc says, “We hear” that you know Bc much more than you admit. We were told that you are in the excercise business and would not like to suffer the consequences of crossing Bc!
You write Bc uses quotes which can be tracked! HUH? Wrong!
You write Bc does not use slanderous names to attack Commissioners! HUH? Wrong…How about this namecalling used by Bc and can be tracked to Bc site: “pitbull Jimmy Boy” Silverstone
“Gang of Three”, “Vigilante” to name a few.
Just as you stated, you would like to see both sites abolished. Nothing would make me happier than to end both sites but Bc has so much hate for the VM, Town Manager, town employees, The VFD, honest commissioners, descent citizens and on and on that Bc has become obsessed and this side must fight to tell the truth about Bc lies.
June 2, 2009 at 11:48 am
Can’t believe how Bc praises the Mayor for phoney baloney smiles. Minnet welcomes citizens but her voice is so sarcastic that it comes across as false! So Bc tells how the mayor thanked “ALL” for returning to the recessed commission meeting. If you didn’t know better, you would think Jarvis Hall was packed. Instead attendance was probably about 5 people sitting in the audience! What a fake! If Minnet viewed the tapes of previous meetings, she certainly would see that she is the problem.
June 4, 2009 at 8:47 am
Not only does Bc repeat stale, old information from the distant past but now Bc keeps repeating the same information day after day and over and over from the same recent commission meeting. You would think the writer was a saddened victim of brain memory loss who can’t remember what they already said. It is sad and boring to read Bc’s stale always one-sided, derogatory comments.
June 4, 2009 at 8:57 am
There was a posted committee meeting for the 4th of July. A great chuckle was had by all as several hiding places were checked for hidden micrphones and perhaps a chance of finding Bc hiding under the dais. Bc has admitted using tape recordings in the past to clandescently record conversations.
June 4, 2009 at 9:22 am
Dodd’s “totter” agenda item was deferred because Dodd himself selfishly wasted your tax dollars by directing the Town Attorney to investigate (an hourly rate) whether or not there was already an ordinance on the books forbidding citizens from “Stealing”(Dodd’s word) curbside trash. Bc screams there are too many ordinaces now BUt it’s ok for puppet dodd to create more rules and restrictions on already burdened citizens!!!
Bc told you the town Attorney said the ordinance could be created BUT BC FAILED TO TELL YOU TAHT THE ATTORNEY ALSO SAID THE ORDINANCE WOULD further BURDEN CODE ENFORCEMENT WORKERS!
Commissioner Clottey originally spoke against Dodd’s ordinace saying that when her garbage is curbside, it is there for anyone to freely take if they choose! No complaints from residents , so why fix it if it isn’t broken.(The line Dodd has used when convenient)
VM said it is hard times and if people take the curbside trash, God bless them. He hoped the trash would help people in hard economic times. No commissioners had resident complaints except dodd.
Bc thinks 3 member of the commission stop dodd from creating ordinances. Perhaps it is common sense that prevents Dodd’s nonsense being turned into unecessary laws. Bc namecalls with her ‘Gang of 3″ remarks. Perhaps bc and Dodd should look in the mirror and see the failing Gang of two- Dodd and Bc.
June 4, 2009 at 10:29 am
Bc keeps bringing up Greenfest, lately, but ORIGINALLY AVOIDED what many call , Mayor Minnet’s unethical actions. You remember Minnet’s Greefest when Greenfest Chairperson, Minnet, appointed her campaign manager, Terry Arthur , co-chair. Arthur opened a bank account using his social security number and he accepted donations in the name of LBTS. This is forbidden by town ordinance. The necessary bank statements had been requested by the town commission numerous times but have never been received. The mayor turned this town sponsored event (with town money) into a one sided political robo phone calling event. Dodd can be found on tape saying this was wrong! So Bc, when you talk about Greenfest, tell the people the wrong that Minnet did. And no excuses accepted! In the end Minnet said,” Well if I knew…I would not have done it.”
June 4, 2009 at 10:40 am
Bc writes; “…he (Dodd) wanted all to know we were probably paying Weiss, Serota (new town attorney firm) about half the amount of what we paid Cherof…
You might think it was Dodd’s action of hiring the new Town Attorney Firm and you might think Dodd was responsible for saving the town $200,000 or more BUT THE FACT IS DODD VOTED AGAINST THE NEW TOWN ATTORNEY FIRM! HE WAS TOTALLY AGINST THE BILLING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN AND THE FIRM !Nice try!
June 4, 2009 at 10:58 am
Bc comments on the Mayor having to wait until last to add her 2 cents. The Mayor’s input on finances certainly lacked knowledge and Bc was right. The mayor’s input was only worth 2 cents, maybe even only worth one penny! Bc criticizes those on the dais for aiding and correcting Minnet with her incorrect information. Minnet piped in that she was not yet finished. It was obvious, she was finished and had no idea about what she was talking. Perhaps next time, those sitting on the dais ought to wait until Minnet yields. Let her sink. Let her look dumb and then join in to correct her .
June 4, 2009 at 11:05 am
Bc has been covering for Dodd’s actions on the dais for a long time now. DODD VOTES THE EXACT SAME WAY AS OTHER MEMBERS ON THE DAIS YET Bc CRITICIZES THOSE OTHER MEMBERS WHO HAVE VOTED EXACTLY LIKE DODD! HUH?
Bc tries to lead you to believe that comments from Commission Meetings are verbatim or fully presented. WRONG! Bc writes only what Bc wants you to hear. Bc never tells the full story and Bc does not write the exact words spoken by members on the dais. What Bc writes is not what you would hear when you replayed the Commission meeting tape. How deceitful of Bc! Bc =Zero Credibility
June 4, 2009 at 11:14 am
Bc’s blog says…”The Mayor asked for all on the dais to please show some respect and allow her to finish what she had to say…
TOO BAD THE MAYOR DOES NOT SHOW THE SAME RESPECT FOR HER FELLOW COMMISSIONERS ON THE DAIS WHEN THEY HAVE THE FLOOR AND THE RIGHT TO SPEAK. SHE RUDELY INTERRUPTS. PLAY A FEW TAPES AND YOU WILL SEE MINNET”S RUDE, UNCALLED FOR ACTIONS! Minnet is using the ‘I’m a woman, don’t discriminate against me mentality and people are sick of it! All it is doing is turning people against her because the people realize Minnet is not strong enough to be Mayor.
June 4, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Another Pure LIe from Bc. Jim and Jerry are not throwing out BSO
Pure Lie..so see guys you can not take one truth from her site..ask Dodd
who is questioning BSO while in Town Hall..Election time front and center BC is telling more lies..BSO is here to stay!
June 5, 2009 at 10:25 am
The latest post from Bc clearly has established beyond any doubt, Bc has become delusional. Bc’s outrageous hate for the Vice Mayor has warped the mind of Bc and destroyed Bc’s understanding of reality. To even infer that the VM could be the Chief of Police is ridiculous! He is too old and does not have the minimum State of Florida qualifications to hold the position of any department in Florida. Can anyone really take Bc seriously when Bc makes outrageous claims like this?
Bc IS MAKING Bc THE NUMBER ONE LAUGHING STOCK IN TOWN!
June 5, 2009 at 10:38 am
It’s clear the goal of Bc is to make the people think that The Vice Mayor and Commissioner Silverstone want to get rid of BSO Police. LIE. LIE. LIE.
It is obvious to all that when taxpayers realize they will have a 21% increase in public safety costs, there may be an outcry from our own citizens to change police services. Both the VM and Commissioner Silverstone have realized the complexity of this problem but have always steadfastly supported the BSO Police Dept in our town and unless the people by VAST majority demand a change, , we are sure there will be NO RETREATING ON THEIR POSITION TO SUPPORT THE BSO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
June 5, 2009 at 10:58 am
The saddest part of what Bc is doing is the creation of hate generating division among our citizens. Bc does not believe in dialogue, Bc believes in LIES. The biggest fear of Bc is citizens exchanging dialogue in a civil manner. Bc wants to continue the hate and the division by Bc’s own generated EVIL.
June 7, 2009 at 11:20 am
Bc has made a major mistake with recent malicious attacks on the Town Manager. Esther Colon is no shrinking violet and we have heard that she has had it with Bc’s lies and untrue accusations. The vast majority of this town, and we mean the vast majority of citizens in this town support Esther Colon 100% . Those citizens believe in the hard working, dedicated and honest Town manager. In case Bc doesn’t know it, Esther Colon’s husband is a retired law officer who is also fed up with the continual barrage of lies from Bc. We have heard that in the recent Bc post, Bc has aaccused Ms. Colon of a crime, a fraud. This clearly sounds slanderous and when you are talking about a woman like Esther Colon whose reputation is untarnished and has an impecable record across this state for over 30 years, it could cost the accuser millions. In Bc’s case , Bc has the big dollars so it would not be hard to find an attorney to take on such an airtight case.
June 7, 2009 at 11:27 am
It would appear Bc’s world is shrinking and Bc sources are drying up! Bc can’t even figure out why VFD emergency boat won’t fit under the tarp.
We hear the boat was sold.
June 7, 2009 at 11:39 am
Bc LIES. Bc will not admit to the truth. Bc claims that Commissioner Dodd’s agenda item was removed without his consent. Here is a specific public record form the Town clerk addressed to Commissioner Dodd, which PROVES Bc LIES. “Please note that Manager Colon responded to your request (Dodd’s) and it was placed in your mailbox. Therefore this item was not placed on the agenda AS PER YOUR EMAIL.”
Public record from Dodd to Town Clerk:” I am waiting for information from the Town Manager and if it arrives before the meeting THEN I WILL BE ABLE TO WITHDRAW THIS ITEM. IF I DO NOT RECEIVE AN ANSWER THEN I WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND DISCUSS IT AT THE MEETING.
June 7, 2009 at 11:49 am
Let’s face the reality of what is happening when it comes to the bars downtown. There will not be any charges for the Code Enforcement inspection unless there is a formal complaint and the Commission directs Code Enforcement. Bc just keeps trying to pit business against the town and town against business.
Bc’s lies have been proven lies and Bc’s CREDIBILITY IS ZERO!
June 7, 2009 at 11:54 am
Every time Bc looks at the pavilion, all Bc’s malicious attacks come back to haunt Bc. The citizens of this town are extremely happy with the way the pavilion turned out. Every day many people sit on the benches under the pavilion and enjoy paradise in LBTS. Bc cannot accept ANYTHING POSITIVE OR CONSTRUCTIVE IN THIS TOWN BECAUSE Bc ONLY KNOWS ATTACK AND TRY TO DESTROY!
June 7, 2009 at 12:06 pm
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF Bc’s LIES: Bc conveniently forgets that David Gatsby stood at the podium during a recent Commisiom Meeting and stated that there is no payment for parking meters during the off season . It was Vice Mayor McIntee who reminded Mr. Gatsby of this off season reprieve! Bc LIES BY TELLING OTHERWISE! The Commission could not amend this reprieve without a vote of the commission. Therefore , there is NO CHARGE for the parking meters. Bc is caught in STILL ANOTHER LIE!
Bc CREDIBILITY IS ZERO!
June 7, 2009 at 12:12 pm
There is a world of trouble coming for Bc and Bc family. The tide is rising for retribution. Many people are quietly preparing for an on slaught of actions that might cause Bc millions. Bc’s callous approach of callous statements , lying about individuals, has put Bc and her wealth in jeopardy. There will be a day of reckoning soon.
June 7, 2009 at 12:19 pm
WE’ve heard some WHOPPER STORIES from Bc’s poison pen but Bc telling you that the turlte eggs are being moved because of the 4th of July is LUDICROUS!
HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE ANYTHING Bc SAYS WHEN Bc MAKES UP SUCH CRAZY STORIES LIKE THIS?
June 8, 2009 at 5:50 am
Bc continues to give us laughs. One of Bc’s biggest lies… Does Bc think anyone in this town of 5500 people are going to believe that Bc was in the exact location at the exact same time and in the path of the Deputy Chief Mcintee’s emergency vehicle? This is a sign of desperation. This proves that Bc will stoop to any level to present lies and continues to spread lies and attacks against anyone who disagrees with Bc!
Bc = NO CONSCIENCE-NO CREDIBILITY !
June 8, 2009 at 6:04 am
Remember when Bc insinuated that the VFD used an envirornmentally unsafe foam to eliminate the dangerous bee situation and even tried to make you believe that the VFD did not know what they were doing? WELL Bc IS CAUGHT IN ANOTHER LIE! OOPPS!! The VFD SUPPRESSED THE DANGEROUS BEES ACCORDING TO “THE BOOK” WITH THE PROPER FOAM. WHO was in Command? Deputy Chief McIntee was in command OOUUCCHH Bc can’t stand the good Deputy Chief MCintee exhibits. The Vfd performed successfully.
Bc= NO CONSCIENCE=NO CREDIBILITY
June 8, 2009 at 6:10 am
Bc is continually using the expression,OOpps! as a false accusation trying to indicate guilt against those whom Bc writes against. Well, when people see “OPPS”, you can bet Bc is falsely accusing good people and does not even have facts to back up those false accusations!
June 8, 2009 at 6:45 am
We were very much impressed by the Miami Herald’s Newspaper Article on the LBTS VFD Beach Safety Program, highlighting our Beach Safety Posts. To finish the article with a lifeguard saying he feels safer on our beach with the VFD innovations, certainly verifies this same opinion of the vast majority of townspeople. The VFD has strived to make our town a safer community and has kept all their promises to provide the best Public Safety Department available. The VFD has performed exceptionally well under the supervision of Chief Bob Perkins and Deputy Chief Jerry McIntee. We asked reliable sources if the town’s PIO was responsible for this outsatnding article and we have been told that Deputy Chief McIntee was soley responsible for this wonderful article being written and placed in the Miami Herald. Nice Photo, Chief Perkins! Let us not forget, Bc’s negative review of this article and Bc’s constant ATTACK,ATTACK,ATTACK against the VFD. If it’s good for the town, It’s BAD FOR Bc!
THE VFD CREDIBILITY is 100%
Bc’s CREDIBILITY IS ZERO
Bc=No CONSCIENCE, NO CREDIBILITY
June 9, 2009 at 11:38 am
What kind of individual would take secret photos of a commissioner behind a Commissioners back? This is absolutely unheard of. No citizen in this town should be taking clandesdine photos and then posting bizarre remarks under the photo! Looks like more Bc stalking! Talk about Big Brother! These sneaky tactics make Bc look downright disgraceful.
June 9, 2009 at 11:50 am
Days ago Bc was making a ridiculous claim that Bc was almost run down by the Deputy Chief! We know this was a fabrication, another Bc lie and Zero CREDIBILITY. Now Bc dispalys a photo of the Pelican Hopper running a redlight. Let’s give Bc a whistle,a blowhorn and a portable stop sign. Bc is proclaiming to be THE SELF APPOINTED, DE FACTO TRAFFIC COP!” Maybe we could borrow a crossing guard uniform. Guess we could call Bc The traffic Cop vigilante! How silly is it to think anybody in this town would waste their time taking photos of the Pelican Hopper? It is just another way for Bc to attack and hurt this town. Anything good in town is BAD FOR Bc. The senior citizens appreciate the transportation, but Bc’s antics prove to be against the citizens.
June 9, 2009 at 12:02 pm
We have seen a pattern develop that clearly indicates that Bc has once again returned to stalking of our citizens and government officials. There is a major storm brewing on the horizon. People are banning together to put Bc in place once and for all. Bc has crossed too many lines, one of the biggest is accusing the Town Manager of committing a crime. This will create such a storm that it will take Bc years to live down. Bc is so ignorant to the fact that the most popular person in this town is Esther Colon. Bc’s actions have increased a massive dislike of Bc in our community. No one trusts Bc and it is clear that Bc will never regain that trust because of the herrendous actions that Bc has taken and continues to take.
June 9, 2009 at 5:03 pm
The so called BC reports that JUne 8 Clottey checking out the alleys
wrong she just finish lunch and was headed back to her car and her cell
phone rang so she stop to talk..she had lunch with friends..LOL
June 10, 2009 at 3:31 am
How many citizens and government officials has Bc, “THE DE FACTO COP” stalked today while capturing that Kodak moment?
BC SEEMS TO LOOK LIKE THE MOST OFFENSIVE DE FACTO VIGILANTE EVER SEEN IN THIS TOWN!
HOW many DE FACTO hats can Bc wear while trying to promote hate?
June 10, 2009 at 11:22 am
Does Bc set Dodd up to look so stupid or does Dodd do it on his own?
Dodd asks if the Commission was illegaly paying for fire assessment costs because of the Beach Patrol! DUMB! DUMB! After Dodd asked many stupid questions, Commissioner Silverstone explained to Dodd that the VFD is FIRE/RESCUE and NOT an EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE! WHERE IS DODD”S BRAIN? Is there a brain in there? DID Bc SET DODD UP FOR SUCH STUPIDITY?
June 10, 2009 at 11:30 am
TONIGHT WAS DUMB,DUMB NIGHT FOR DODD AND Bc!
The town attorney read the ordinance spellimg out decorum and the penalties associated with disobeying the rules. The attorney said that if a oerson was removed from the meeting, they would NOT BE ALLOWED TO RETURN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MEETING. STUPIDLY, Bc stood up publicly at the podium and asked could that person who was thrown out return the next day if it was a 2 day meeting . How stupid. It is the same meeting the next day. it is the same meeting next week if the meeting was recessed and not adjourned! Bc LOOKED REALLY STUPID ASKING SUCH A STUPID QUESTION WHEN THE ATTORNEY JUST GOT DONE EXPLAINING! DUMB AND DUMBER!
June 10, 2009 at 11:43 am
After the audience was on best behavior at the commission meeting, Bc could not contain herself and slipped into her rude, lack of decorum M.O.
Close to the end of the meeting, a woman speaker was talking at the podium. This woman heard Bc’s rude voice and turned to look at Bc who was speaking out loud behind the woman’s back. The woman turned around and made a comment to Bc. The Mayor picked up on the upset speaker who was being rudely interrupted by Bc . Finally, the Mayor told Bc to be polite and listen to the speaker! Bc was THE ONLY ONE IN THE AUDIENCE TO BE TOLD TO FOLLOW DECORUM!
June 13, 2009 at 10:37 am
Bc LIES,LIES,LIES! Bc “hears” the CIC could not come up with any nominations for the CIC Citizen(s) at the July 4th Committee meeting on June 10th ’09. First of all the meeting was a general CIC meeting open to all members and not a 4th of July committee meeting as Bc claimed. Bc got it WRONG! Bc lacks knowledge so Bc makes up Bc’s own untruths. Bc is absolutely untruthful! Marc and Cristie have done more for this town than any couple in our recent history, UNLIKE Bc who seems to be the cancer in this town, always condemning good and promoting hate!
There were several written nomination submitted for ONLY Marc and Cristie. Stop lying Bc!
June 13, 2009 at 10:58 am
MORE Bc LIES!!!!!!! It is clear that Bc has no knowledge of planning such an enormous event as the 4th of July. Again, when Bc does not know an answer, Bc makes up a wrong answer. Bc tells you the second 4th of July meeting will be three days before the event. This is a Bc LIE and ABSURD Bc statement! Little does Bc know but the meeting has already been announced for the 1st of July and it is not the second planning meeting. Bc only shows you how much Bc does not know! Bc is in the dark and begs for any sort of attention to try to get your attention! Bc puts out so many untruths about so many matters. Can you imagine anyone begging for attention as Bc does?Signs of collapse of readership in Bc’s blog , when Bc has to advertise in an out of town paper for readers! Looks like Bc is begging for readers.
Bc = Zero credibility
June 13, 2009 at 11:14 am
Bc seems to be on a raging lying rampage! NUTS!!!!!
There is not one tax dollar being spent on the volunteer FF for the “mandatory” attendance at the 4th of July. There is no such thing as “mandatory” attendance. It is a community affair and any reasonable reason not to attend is accepted. Bc seems really “off the wall” telling LIE after LIE! No family members of the VFD are ordered to help volunteer! Families are invited to happily share in the festivities! NUTS!
June 13, 2009 at 11:22 am
Bc begrudges the non-compensated town photograher a free parking space, just another example of Bc hate.
Marc Furth is the Town Photographer who pays for all photographic expenses for the town (OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET). He does NOT accept one penny for his exceptional service. This is just one more reason why Marc should receive title as CIC Citizen of the Year. Good citizens recognize good deeds!
June 13, 2009 at 11:34 am
The Town had two major articles appearing in the Miami Herald recognizing the tremendous work of the VFD. Deputy Chief McIntee was able to report quite a bit of knowledge and interesting facts about the manatees after speaking to a Chief Marine Biologist in charge of manatees. Bc forgot to mention all the TV stations covering other VFD accomplishments. The BSO has about 24 PAID Public Information Officers (PIO) costing taxpayers plenty of money. The LBTS VFD certainly received outstanding news coverage and the taxpyers Don’t pay one penny to hear about the wonderful work of the LBTS VFD. There are no paid PIO in the VFD. Great Job VFD.
June 13, 2009 at 11:36 am
Bc again MAKES FALSE CLAIMS, then writes”…But if this is so…”
Bc = ZERO CREDIBILITY
NUTS!
June 13, 2009 at 11:40 am
Why would Chief Perkins want any part of Bc? Why would the VFD want any part of Bc? It makes sense that Chief Perkins enjoys “free time” away from Bc!
June 13, 2009 at 11:43 am
The VFD present Command Car is eleven years old and in poor condition! Enough said!
Bc tries to make a big thing out of a fact that Bc did not present. The Command car is 11 years old and in poor condition. NUTS!
June 14, 2009 at 9:08 pm
After reading Bc’s commentary on the Budget Workshop, my head is spinning! It Proves Bc has total disregard for telling you true facts . Total fabrication where Bc feels like writing half truths, spins and LIES. Line after line of spins!!!! NUTS!
It is difficult to know where to even begin to correct so many misleading statements made by Bc. NUTS!
TO GET THE TRUE FACTS, don’t waste your time reading Bc garbage. GO TO THE TOWN’S GOVERNMENT WEBSITE directly where you can see and hear the actual truthful recording of the Budget Workshop which took place. Instead of twists and spins by Bc, you can actually hear the whole truth from the Commissioners and the Town Manager. It is only about 35 minutes long and worth your time to hear the truth. Go to http://www.lauderdalebythesea-fl.gov, hit video, select Budget Workshop and listen to the truth.
You will See and Hear how totally dumb and ignorant Commissioner Dodd showed himself to be (several times). According to Bc Dodd was the hero at the workshop! WRONG! NUTS! Hear how DODD wants the Broward Sheriff’s Office 5 YEAR CONTRACT which was negotiated in “GOOD FAITH” to be reduced. Did you ever see any union reduce a settled contract when BSO is already $123 Million $$$$dollars in the red for this year? SMOKE AND MIRRORS BY DODD! I think BSO’s Contract called for a 5.3% hike while VFD and AMR budget was a lower 4%.
Bc accuses the Vice Mayor McIntee of wanting to get rid of BSO Police which is a TOTAL LIE! The VM has addressed this lie from the dais several times and it looks like he will have to continue to speak the truth on the dais inorder to stop such LIES! When you listen to the government video, you will think Bc’s Budget report is from outerspace and not LBTS! NUTS!
Tune in later for more slap. Thanks.
June 15, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Bc HAS NO CONSCIENCE WHEN BC WRITES LIE AFTER LIE! NUTS!!!
Bc LABELS LIES AS, “WE HEAR” (HEARSAY)… NUTS!!!
Bc will say anything to try to hurt good people. NUTS!!!
The latest Bc TRASH CONTAINS ABOUT 10 FLAT OUT LIES! ANYONE WHO READS Bc’s BLOG AND BELIEVES IT, IS FALLING INTO A DEEP, DARK PIT!
Bc’s M.O. IS TO PIT PEOPLE AGAINST PEOPLE! NUTS!!!
Bc’s information at CIC meetings has dried up. Bc is writing FALSE INFORMATION about the CIC Meetings which NEVER HAPPENED tells FLAT OUT AND OUT LIES! NUTS!!!
Bc has unsuccessfully tried to destroy the CIC by writing FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT CIC MEMBERS! NUTS!!!
The point is, Bc prints wong information and tries to pass it on as if Bc knows what is happening! NUTS!!!
Bc continues to try to damage the Town Administration, Commissioners, Town employees, dedicated citizens who work for the good of all citizens in our Town and anyone who gets in the way of Bc! NUTS!!!
Bc’s M.O. is to “PIT” people against each other! NUTS BUT TRUE!!!
Bc now supports a newspaper Bc once called a”A RAG” and this is NOT HEARSAY. Bc’s words are in print! Bc supports those nasty supporters of the paper Bc called a “RAG.” Bc often spoke derogatory words against practically everyone and everything that Bc now supports. Those few associated with Bc now at least have a “Heads UP”, an advantage over those assciated with Bc in the past. Bc has a SAD, proven track record to look at and Bc’s new best friends can know what to expect from Bc’s vicious past with BROKEN TRUST BY Bc! DO YOU THINK ANYONE WOULD TRUST Bc?? HOW COULD THEY?? If anything, Bc would be “used” in this present game!
By Bc ADMITTING Bc’s OWN EVIL PAST ACTIONS. NEWCOMERS TO Bc WILL KNOW NOT TO TRUST Bc. IN Bc’s PAST ACTIONS, Bc HAS ADMITTED TAKING NOTES AND KEEPING RECORD OF PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS OF PAST FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES. NUTS!
Bc has admitted LOOKING IN WINDOWS OF PRIVATE RESIDENCES AND THEN TELLING WHAT Bc SAW INSIDE THE PRIVACY OF THOSE HOMES ON THE Bc BLOG! NUTS!
STALKING, a seemingly favorite tactic of Bc! NUTS!!!
Bc CONTINUES TO POST PHOTOS TAKEN SECRETLY AND POST THEM ON Bc SITE! NUTS!!!! COMMISSIONER CLOTTEY WAS INNOCENTLY ON HER WAY TO HER CAR, AN UNFLATTERING PHOTO WAS SNAPPED AND Bc PRINTS A FALSE STAEMENT UNDER THE PHOTO! NUTS!
Bc CONTIUES TO WRITE LIE AFTER LIE ! NUTS!!! BEWARE OF Bc!
June 16, 2009 at 1:42 am
MORE BIG , BIG, BIG Bc LIES… NUTS!!!
Bc writes “WE hear (hearsay) that the Editors of the Mc-Furth BTSTimes told CIC members at their meeting last week as well as others around town… that the Grille “is having money problems”
WE HAVE CHECKED WITH SEVERAL CIC MEMBERS WHO WERE IN ATTENDANCE AT THE CIC MEETING LAST WEEK AND MARC AND CRISTIE FURTH WERE NOT EVEN IN ATTENDANCE FOR ANY PART OF THE MEETING! So you see here, Bc continues to write lies that can be proven to be LIES! SHAME ON Bc! NUTS!!!
Bc’s plan of attack is to “PIT NEIGHBOR AGAINST NEIGHBOR!”WITH LIES
Bc loves to raise questions of concern against Commissioners for Sunshine violation! YOU CAN BE SURE THERE IS NEVER A VIOLATION OF SUNSHINE AT ANY CIC MEETING!
Bc’s puppetboy Dodd was in agreement with others who said the noise level was DOWN at the Grille when Dodd walked around with fellow commissioners to evaluate the level of noise at the Grille! Bc’s half story!! NUTS!!!
The only “GOTCHA” in this town is Bc trying to make you believe Bc LIES!
DO you know that the permit fees were a one time submission for the year? The bars in town had ONE FULL YEAR USE OF YOUR PUBLIC STREETS FOR a WHOPPING $125! TOTAL! $125. That’s right. The money did not even go to the town but I believe it went to the County!
Bc conitnues to have you believe that the Commission’s vote for the Grille to waive parking fees for summer “bit the dust” More Lies.
The Commission voted for the Grille not to pay for the meters for the slow summer months and that ruling CANNOT be changed without a vote of the Commission. The Grille wil not pay parking meter fees for summer months! ANd that waiving of fees to help the Grille was the idea of VICE MAYOR MCINTEE! TIRED OF Bc LIES????????
Bc now loves to praise those Bc has spoken so hatefully of in the past!
Bc HAS PROVEN AND ADMITTED NO TRUST FOR BC!!!
!!! NO TRUST!! NO HONOR! NO CREDIBILITY! NO BELIEVABLILITY!!None
June 16, 2009 at 11:08 am
Bc ‘s recent blogs have established a tone of desparation! Bc has printed many stories that Bc clearly claims are ‘Hearsy.” Any individual taking this leap of faith is not a rational thinker. It is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE to print gossip as fact and that is exactly what Bc is doing now. Most of the people who would speak to Bc have now distanced themselves and therefore Bc , in a desparate state, begins to make up more and more lies. Can Bc really believe that anyone would fall for this scheme? Nothing more than smoke and mirrors!
Bc =ZERO CREDIBILITY.
June 16, 2009 at 11:13 am
Nominations here, nominations there BUT NONE FOR Bc. Citizens who have performed good deeds for LBTS will be honored, BUT NOT Bc!
NO HONOR FOR Bc!
People just avoid the spreader of hate!
June 17, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Bad habits never die! LOOKS LIKE Bc HAS TO SUBMIT AND PICK UP FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUESTS NOW THAT “PUPPETBOY DODD” IS OUT OF TOWN AND NOT HERE TO DO THE DIRTY WORK FOR Bc!
Bc moans and groans when others report truthful information, complaining this is terrible such info is released. Yet Bc confesses to DIGGIN FOR DIRT ! Would you say on a daily basis? At least ” the others” report the truth without lies and spins,half truths and …!
June 17, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Looks like Bc continues to slipand fall! ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK! ! Bc FAILS TO recognize all those citizens and town workers who give, give ,give so LBTS is a great place for you and me to live!
Did Bc tell you that ‘THE OLD GUARD’ BOYCOTTED THE 4TH OF JULY LAST YEAR? They went to chuck clark’s house!
DID Bc TELL YOU THat CHUCK CLARK PAID A 4th of JULY EVENT PLANNER $10,000.00? THAT $10,000.00 was YOUR TAX DOLLARS!
Bc hides the fact that the FURTHS PLAN TOWN EVENTS FOR FREE!
DID Bc TELL YOU THE 4TH of JULY EVENT UNDER CLARK’s CHAIRMANSHIP COST YOU, THE TAXPAYER ABOUT $80,000.00?
Under Furths direction and expertise, the town wil pay about one half that amount,
WAHT ELSE DID Bc FAIL TO TELL YOU?
WHAT ELSE DOES Bc WANT KEPT QUIET?
READ SLAP FOR MORE OF THE TRUTH.
June 17, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Bc PROMOTES HATE! AND NEGATIVITY! STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES! CITIZENS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF Bc STINK!
There has been a tremendous response of phone call from people who want to volunteer for the 4th of July as reported at the 4th of JULY MEETING WHICH WAS POSTED (contrary to what Bc tells you)
INSTEAD OF PROMOTING UNITY AND PEACE, Bc PROMOTES DISUNITY AND HATE! WAKE UP, Bc. CITIZENS ARE TIRED OF Bc LIES AND Bc GARBAGE! PEACE!
June 18, 2009 at 6:14 am
Bc writes lies and calls them “JOKES.” ( by saying, just Kidding)… JOKES BASED ON LIES ARE LIES! We ALL AGREE that IT IS Bc AND Bc SITE THAT ARE THE REAL JOKES.
June 18, 2009 at 6:21 am
Bc In some weird way tries to infer that the VfD report on the Hyperbaric Chamber was not true and differed from the BSO report. The report Bc wrote on the blog by BSO Deputy Melbourne clearly indicates everything the VFD said is truthful. Bc is trying the hardest to cause trouble and division between these two public safety departments but the truth always wins and when Bc lies, it is Bc coming out looking like the FOOL! FOOOOLLLL!!!!
June 18, 2009 at 6:24 am
Bc has flooded the town with Freedom of Information requests because Dodd has left town and Bc’s POOPBOY can’t be here to get the gossip for Bc!
June 18, 2009 at 6:30 am
Would it seem that Bc might be going down the path of senility, getting thoughts mixed up and repeating, repeating, repeating???? Does Bc recognize reality and does Bc know Bc has talked over and over about the same stale , garbage that nobody wants to hear about? Get a life and find some peace.
Peace may be difficult to find because Bc has burned so many bridges. Do you know anyone who could ever trust Bc? Bc now trashes (on a continual basis) People who were once Bc’s friends. If you can’t trust your friends , Who can you trust?? It seems there is no trust for Bc after Bc has publicly admitted to performing so many devious and unjustified acts against friends. NO TRUST…NO BELIEF…NO FRIENDS…No CREDIBILITY…NO LOVE… NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
June 18, 2009 at 9:19 am
Bc continues with LIES! Bc tries to put down the 4th of July every step of the way. Because of Bc’s, Dodd’s and Minnet’s meddling, the coastal towns surrounding LBTS backed off firework dispays near the beaches because of unfounded threats of turtles. AND Bc SAYs TURTLE NESTS WERE MOVED BECAUSE OF MCFURTH FIREWORKS!!! WHAT A LIE! CALL THE AUTHORITIES! NO TURTLES NESTS WERE MOVED BECAUSE OF FIREWORKS! Bc LIES!
Bc says no response for volunteers. MORE LIES. Volunteer response has been great. Bc LIES and promotes division!
June 18, 2009 at 9:30 am
Bc talks about double standards….DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO!.
Bc says commission broke rules about residents coming to speak at public comments. Bc says resident spoke and then was allowed to speak again!!!HHHMMM! WOW UGH!!! Bc did the exact same thing but Bc tthinks it’s okay when Bc breaks the same rule! Bc accuses others of breaking rules! At a prior Commission meeting, Bc got up and spoke at thrre minutes public comments. COMMISSIONER DODD ALLOWED Bc TO SPEAK AGAIN!, later! OH NO!!! Bc and DODD BROKE THE RULE ON ALLOWING SPEAKERS TO SPEAK AGAIN! Bc BREAKS THE RULES AND DOES nOT TELL YOU! Bc THINKS ITS OKAY FOR BC TO BREAK THE SAME RULES WHILE ACCUSING OTHERS OF FOUL!
June 24, 2009 at 12:05 am
After speaking with several members of the 4th of July Committee, the following information has been CONFIRMED AS TRUE, unlike Bc’s blog where readers read unreliable posts by Bc, labeled : “HEARSAY” and “WE ARE TOLD!” What a “blow” to Bc’s own credibility when Bc refers to Bc’s, “posted Previously” remarks! Looks like Bc backtracks on Bc’s “posted previously” statements trying hard to explain misleading Bc information! Does Bc realize the walls are closing in ? Does Bc finally realize that Bc spins and Lies will be proven as spins and lies? The truth was explained on the food purchase and Aruba did not buy the food. Bc writes, asking who would get the profit, as if there is stealing taking place. Shame on Bc. The CIC is not getting one penny profit in assisting the town sponsored event. Such misleading information is shameful .
Confirmed as TRUE:
Bc was the only one citizen attending the 4th of July Committee Meeting.
Bc sat in the audience alone and was laughing OUT LOUD inappropriately.
The meeting last night as well as ALL other committee meetings were posted according to the Sunshine Laws and WERE NOT “late posted meetings” as Bc flat out LIES in Bc blog!
Two County people have been contracted to monitor the turtles.
Bc failed to tell you the reason County workers were hired and Bc’s times of workers’ employment is definitely wrong! Bc heard this information first-hand, sitting there as the facts were presented, and Bc still cannot get the facts correct!
The volunteer response continues to grow each day and volunteer support has been tremendous.
Bc has no idea of the number of volunteers although Bc throws a number at you which Moe, never reported at the meeting last evening! Bc continues to lie and attempts to lead the public to believe that there is no volunteer support. Bc needs to face reality and realize that citizens want to be a part of the 4th of July festivities and caring citizens are stepping up to the plate. Bc should print the truth.
These TRUTHS ARE JUST A TIP OF THE ICEBERG. TUNE IN LATER FOR MORE TRUTHS FROM SLAP. These truths would prove that Bc seems to attempt to CONDEMN AND ATTACK GOOD CITIZENS WHO ARE WORKING AND VOLUNTEERING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF CITIZENS LIKE YOU.
June 24, 2009 at 11:35 am
During public comments, Edmond Malkoon stood at the podium and told the entire town that he and his mother were criticized for volunteering for the 4th of July event! So what this site has been saying right along has been proven as fact. There are people in town who are doing everything in their power to try to derail the 4th of July celebration including commissioners whose unecessary meddling with authorities caused problems for our town and for neighboring towns regarding turtles and fireworks. Bc has been one of the main instigators constantly printing lies.
Bc gave Edmond terrible filthy looks when he returned to his seat. Bc does not want the truth out and Malkoon opened the flood gates. Now everyone knows of the concerted effort to promote failure of the great 4th of July event. The pressure has been so strong to prevent people from volunteering that those who cry for freedom have indeed inflicted a situation upon citizens who may be afraid to volunteer for fear of repercussions. So much for the Unite Our Town political faction who are stiffling the freedom of others! This is a clear example of the hate developed because of the loss of power in our town. HATE is evident among members in the Unite Our Town political faction.
July 8, 2009 at 9:38 am
Dear Readers,
We have been away on vacation enjoying a “Bc FREE ZONE!” What a refreshing trip. We have been doing our homework but the Bc lies have been so voluminous that we are having difficulty on where to begin with the truth.
It was clear that Dodd must be distancing himself from Bc while walking alone on the 4th of July and crying ih his beer while under the influence. Does Commissioner Dood know that drunkeness is a legitimate reason for recall?
One of Bc’s biggest recent lies is that there were few volunteers for the 4th Celebration. Anybody who attended the Beach Blast would have seen there were well over 100 ” happy” volunteers. “HAPPY”, a word Bc does not know how to use. Those cheerful and willing volunteers participated in one of the biggest and best 4th of July events this town has ever seen. When Bc (A NON VOLUNTEER) showed up at the Volunteer Meeting, there was a freezing chill felt across the room. Commissioner Dodd (ANOTHER NON VOLUNTEER SHOWED UP AND FOR WHATEVER REASON NO ONe KNOWS). The room was crowded and everyone was enjoying the friendship of their fellow neighbors.
You will have to excuse us for now. Jetlag is kicking in and the eyelids are about to close. We enjoy spreading the truth, not lies. So please come back later when you can read more truths. Thanks.
July 10, 2009 at 11:18 pm
How can anyone bother to waste their time reading “WE HEAR”……..
“IT IS SAID”……When you read those words, count on the words to mean, Pure flat out lies, or how about a stab in the dark and possessing no credibility.
When the writer writes, IF IT IS TRUE”..That is like the writer admitting total lack of knowledge of the sitaution whatsoever.
THAT WRITER ADMITTING NO FACTS,NO KNOWLEDGE=NO CREDIBILITY
If the writer cannot print facts, stop wasting your time reading rumors and flat out lies!
July 12, 2009 at 11:01 am
Bc does not realize that there are exceptionally dark clouds coming Bc’s way. There are many people who are disgusted with the lies, the stalking and the sneaky photos taken of individuals without being told. Bc has taken invasion of privaby to a new level and there are ranifications for these unjust actions. Ramifications are coming not from one individual but from many whose privacy has been invaded by Bc.
July 12, 2009 at 11:16 am
The fishing expeditons of Bc on allegded inside information of the VFD is nothing but plain flat out lies. Bc’s story about the Captain having his name on the hurricane trailer was complete ignornce. Tthis is the second Hurricane Trailer the VFD has had. The first one was stolen. Bc fails to tell that it is VFD policy to place the name of the person in charge on th trailer. The first Hurricane Trailer had Joe Paddens name on it and read: COMMANDED BY JOE PADDEN! Sounds like Bc’s leaks are not reliable and are full of HOLES! The “leaks” are full of cracks where the truth escapes!
We did some checking up on the hose deatail. It was conducted completely by Ron McGirr with absolutely no input from the Deputy Chief.

Bc made a fool of Bc again on WRONG information about the VFD command car. OUCHHHH!!!!
The truth is that same vehicle was former Town Manager Baldwin’s car and it was given to the VFD completely stripped down. The town will receive the vehicle exactly as the VFD received it..No sirens, No lights DOUBLE OUCHHHHH!!!!!!
Bc does not get the story correct and it seems Bc turns out looking like the biggest fool.
