[More Scoop Than Baskin Robbins] [More up-to-date than yesterday's newspaper].

THE MECK REPORT - IS A BILLBOARD WITH CHESTER'S DUI MUGSHOT NEXT ?

The Police Union's ANTI - Chester billboards went up yesterday ..
[ 3 of them]. There's one at S. Oates, north bound at Carroll Street ..
SW side of the circle, across from Outback Steak House, next to the Surburban Lodge hotel ..
and one at Montgomery Hwy and John D. Odom Rd.

BILLBOARD: ' Chester said ...Two terms is enough for a mayor. '
' WE AGREE !!! ... Vote for Change July 12th ..' [ Chester's mug x'd out]
http://www.ibpo587.org/ .. International Brotherhood of Police Officers .. Local 587 AFL-CIO.

A Smokin Fajita indeed ..

8 years of Chester's REVENGE for The Dothan Police Dept. and Chief White
because the FBI investigated Chester's dad ..
THUG Mentality .. Chester hates the Dothan Police Dept.

[Note: There are 287 Dothan Police Dept employees ..
One official told me .. " Almost the entire Police Dept. will vote to Remove Chester." ]

The People should know .. There are more than a few in this Dothan Police Union.
Monitor this very closely .. As they exercise their Free Speech ..
Chester will no doubt try to Retaliate ..

Dothan IBPO 587 Protects the officers who protect You.

PROTECT OUR POLICE DEPT. FROM CHESTER

We need a mayor who supports the Police ..
who took an oath to Protect and Serve The People of Dothan.
They shouldn't have to deal with a Vindictive mayor seeking revenge ..
Using and Abusing His Office To Interfere, Divide and Defame our Police men and women.
The People Should Protect Our Police Dept .. and Remove Chester.

The People should stand up .. Chester KNOWINGLY broke Ala. Law
demanding Chief White be fired by CM Jerry Gwaltney - Feb 1999.

Who could ever forget Mr. Charley Camp's speech that Sunday afternoon at the Dothan PD.
Apr. 1999 .. Over 300 people showed up to voice their support for Chief White.
The same day that Ronnie Agnew/ Dothan Eagle Editor had the courage and freedom
to print the tapes of Commis. Tim Smith on the front page [ word for word] .

Just 2 days later .. over 700 people showed up for the Commission meeting [moved to Civic Center]
and demanded Commis. Tim Smith resign and Chief White be re-instated ..
Chester was furious at CM Gwaltney ..

Chester's wife, Pam, was cursing City Manager Jerry Gwaltney on his cell phone
as he left the Civic Center.. Jerry Gwaltney had no choice ..
He knew Chester had broken Ala. Law and now the people knew the truth, also.

Thanks to Editor Ronnie Agnew and a Free Press .. He was not handcuffed by his Publisher.
Ronnie fulfilled his obligation to his readers and his city .. He Shined light on darkness.

Maybe Ronnie had met Thomas Jefferson .. and heard him being asked ..
' If you had a choice Mr. Jefferson .. Would you choose a Free Press or a Free Govt. ' ?
' A Free Press anyday ' .. Jefferson replied.

No Doubt Jefferson and Ronnie both knew .. You can have no free govt without a Free Press ..
That's Dothan today .. In a Quagmire.
--

STAND UP FOR OUR POLICE DEPT.

It's Past Time The People of Dothan Stand Up For our Police Dept.
It's really Our fault .. We should be a shamed for letting This happen to our hometown.
Chester testified against The FBI and Dothan Police Dept in Federal Court.[1999 - Montgomery]
and He was proud of it ..

The People of Dothan are Proud of our Police Department .. It's Past Time we let them know.

By the way .. I'm surprised the Police Union didn't use Chester's DUI mugshot on their billboard ..
Maybe that's on the way.

PASTORS and CHURCHES DUPED

The Pastors and Churches have been Duped and Used by Chester on this Sunday Alcohol Sales
Issue .. He has played with them like a toy .. Using them and their members for votes.

Chester has wreaked Havoc, Discord and Division throughout our hometown - for 8 years.
Pitting Blacks against Whites .. The Have-nots vs. The Money people ..
The South side and East side vs. The West Side ..
Plus a Personal Vendetta vs. Dr. Hobbs-School Supt.

Chester - The Great Divider .. ' Us against Them ..'
--

LAW and ORDER vs. THUG MENTALITY ..

The RemoveChester Group will continue to meet until we accomplish our ultimate goal ..
We have much more to tell the people of Dothan.
Coming Soon ..' Top 10 Reasons To RemoveChester from His Sandbox in The Mayor's Office.'

Really think about it ..
All Of These Men and Women Who Wear The Uniform Of The Dothan PD
PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE .. Every Day For You and Me ..
It's One Thing To Fight Crime ..

SURELY .. They Shouldn't HaveTo Worry About Doing BATTLE
With The Mayor at The Same Time.

Do you want Law and Order for Dothan .. or THUG Mentality ..?

Chester's Corrupt Investigation ..The FBI Should Investigate

--
posted .. http://www.themeck.com


THE MECK REPORT .. June 8, 2005 .. 1am.
" More Scoop Than Baskin Robbins .. More Up-To-Date Than Yesterday's Newspaper.."
The Only Thing In The Middle Of The Road Are Yellow Lines and Dead Animals.

CHESTER'S CORRUPT INVESTIGATION ..THE FBI SHOULD INVESTIGATE

The Meck has learned that Former Captain Jim Smith has FAILED 4 Polygraph tests ..
He Failed 3 Lie Detector Tests by the Dothan Police Department ..
All given to Jim Smith before he forced himself to resign .. Dec. 2003] ..
Plus the 4th Polygragh test he Failed was given by the Dothan Personnel Board lawyers - early 2004]

And you wonder why they refuse to release the results ..??

Another Real Smoking Gun ..

Did you know ? Over 80 Thousand dollars of the People's money has been spent on
Chester's ILLEGAL investgation ..
AFTER Jim Smith FAILED the Dothan Personnel Polygraph test ..

This proves one more time .. This was Chester's ILLEGAL Investigation to Remove Chief White ..
Using the People's money and Abusing the mayor's office for Chester's personal revenge.
--

WHO HAS A REASON TO LIE ?

The documents that City Manager Mike West has asked for from the Personnel Board ..
but have yet to be turned over by Gary Griffin - Personnel Board Chairman or their attorney ..
involves Jim Smith's FAILED polygraph .. the one given by Personnel Board lawyers.
[After he brought malicious allegations against Chief White and The Dothan PD.]

Gary ' You can run but you cannot hide ' Griffin has made public statements that
he has turned them over ..
Mr. West .. The City Mgr. says he has not received them.

Who has a reason to lie .. ??

Why are YOU running and hiding Gary ' Agenda ' Griffin ?
--

CHESTER DELAYING TACTICS BEFORE ELECTION

Who .. of all people benefits from the delay of announcing the results before the election ??
Chester The Wrecker ..

If announced before July 12, 2005 .. the election ..
The People would learn the obvious .. That Chester orchestrated
this ILLEGAL Investgation to Remove Chief White because the FBI interviewed
Chester's dad 7 years ago ..

After using more than 100 thousand dollars of the people of Dothan's money ..
to pay for his personal revenge - cloaked as an investigation ..
Nothing was found .. and Chester might not get re-elected ..
If The People REALLY KNEW .. how he Uses and Abuses the mayor's office.

After all .. the FBI found nothing .. Mr. West will find nothing.
This has always been and still is an ILLEGAL Investigation by Chester who was engaged
and enraged by Jim Smith's anonymous letters ..

Both joined with a common goal .. To Remove Chief White.
--

CHESTER ABUSES HIS PUBLIC OFFICE

Chester Uses and Abuses his public office.. Using the public's money to try and
remove a public official who was enforcing the laws he swore to up-hold ..
even those Chester didn't agree with. [ See Chester's Dad .. FBI Investigation]

That's why we and other cities have a city mgr. gov't. by the way ..
So a Mayor can't remove a police chief when the chief's PD arrests or investigates
one of his family members or friends.
7 years of Revenge and Chester failed to Remove Chief White.

As I've said before .. Chief White called the FBI to investigate himself and his
Dothan PD when these malicious allegations were brought .. The FBI found nothing ..
What guilty man calls the FBI to investigate himself .. ??

Chester should be removed from office .. His office really Reeks.
The FBI should investigate Mayor Chester Sowell.
Chester's Investigation is Corrupt .. His VINDICTIVE LIES and Agenda Exposed.
Chester has wreaked Havoc, Discord and Division throughout our hometown - for 8 years.
--

THE PEOPLE SHOULD HOLD CHESTER RESPONSIBLE

Call your commissioners and ask them to speak out ..
Why are they not standing up against the Delaying Tactics by Chester and
his ILLEGAL Investigation .. ? The People are now paying attention.

Ask them .. After Jim Smith failed 4 polygraphs tests .. Why was over
80 thousand dollars of the people's money spent AFTER Jim Smith
failed the Personnel Board's polygraph test ??

The commissioners voted to pay for Chester's ILLEGAL Investigation ..
They should hold Chester accountable ..
THE PEOPLE should hold him responsible and REMOVE CHESTER.

Note: Jim Smith - Chester's partner.. Both joined with a common goal to Remove Chief White.
The Personnel Board's main source .. Jim ' Anonymous Letters ' Smith.
Jim Smith failed 4 Polygraphs - Lie Detector Tests and EVEN pleaded the 5th to the FBI ..
[ re Investigation of his OWN allegations against the Dothan PD.]

Yet some in the media still quote his Malicious/False and Unproven allegations toward Chief White ..
Even though .. The FBI found nothing.
[Those malicious/false allegations are the bloodline of the Defamation Lawsuit planned by Chief White.]
--

REMOVE CHESTER - THUG MENTALITY

The RemoveChester Group will continue to meet .. We have much more to tell you before July 12 ..
Make sure your pastor and Dothan Church members get The Meck Report ..
especially Greater Beulah and Ridgecrest.
Chester The Wrecker ..
8 years [2 many] in the mayor's office.. Hiding behind the cross and Using the church to Destroy lives.
--

MY HOMETOWN - IT'S REALLY ALL PERSONAL

If Someone warns you .. ' The Bridge Is Out ' .. ' There's a Snake in Your House '..
Are they your enemy or your friend .. ??

The Issue to me is not Political .. It's very Personal ..
[ Like Matt Drudge says .. It's Really All Personal ] .. It Truly Is .. especially the older I get.

Dothan Is my Birthplace and Hometown for 49 years.
The Meck will ' fulfill His obligation ' to Write what he knows ..
[ without any fear of Censorship ] ..
So the people of Dothan will Know and ' The Truth will set my Hometown Free ..'

We have got to take Our Hometown back from Oppression, Division, and Destruction ..
8 years of Chester The Wrecker is more than enough ..
There is NO WAY Dothan can take 4 more of Chester .. and His THUG Mentality.
The future would be DREADFUL .. like sucking on a 38.

Chester has wreaked Havoc, Discord and Division throughout our hometown - for 8 years.
Pitting Blacks against Whites .. The Have-nots vs. The Money people ..
The South side and East side vs. The West Side ..
Plus a Personal Vendetta vs. Dr. Hobbs-School Supt.

Chester has Harrassed, Interfered and Defamed our Police Chief and Police Dept. since 1998.
Including testifying against The Dothan PD and FBI in Fed. Court in 1999. [in Montgomery]
Joined by Commis. Clements .. A sitting mayor testifying against his own Police Dept.
and he was Proud of it .. Chester - The Great Divider of Dothan .. his lasting Legacy.

[Chester breaking Ala. Law .. demanding Jerry Gwaltney - City Mgr., fire Chief John White
in Feb. 1999 .. Breaking Ala. Law again in Feb. 2004 asking that Chief White be Fired.]


The People of Dothan deserve A REAL Investigation by the FBI of Chester..
As He Uses and Abuses the mayor's office.
Do you really think they would find nothing .. ?
--

MAKE ROOM --- for Class and Dignity in The Mayor's Office --- REMOVE CHESTER.
Once again .. Let his toughest decision be what color golf ball to give you at
the Putt-Putt Golf Course.. [ after all .. It's really hard to DIVIDE a Golf Ball ].

Mayor Chester Sowell, Who were you talking to at Deli & Delites restaurant during lunch on Wednesday, February 25, 2004, when you were overheard saying, “John won’t be there long, we’ll be getting rid of him soon, it won’t be long”?

Mayor Chester Sowell, Who did you tell that you along with three commissioners planned to seek Chief White’s removal on Tuesday, February 24, 2004?

Mayor Chester Sowell, Who did you tell of the Chief’s pending removal on or prior to Friday, February 20, 2004?

Mayor Chester Sowell, Did you discuss your desire for Chief White’s removal with Commissioner Don Clements on Monday, February 23, 2004?

Mayor Chester Sowell, Why did you instruct Jerry Corbin to remove the administration of the city’s paging system from the police department.

Who is the employee(s) that told you? And, please identify the high-ranking official.

In the same televised comments as above (26), you made the statement “You can run but you can’t hide.” Who do you think is running and trying to hide? Also, who advised you that the retrieval of information from the city’s computer system is illegal?

Mr. Gary Griffin, Was the topic of discussion during the Mayor’s visit a request from the Mayor to investigate new allegations that he wanted included? ..

CHIEF WHITE PLANNING DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHESTER

The Meck has learned that Chief John White [retired Dothan Police Chief ]
is planning to file a DEFAMATION LAWSUIT against Chester Sowell
and a number of willing cohorts in Chester's ILLEGAL Investigation .. [ listed below].

- Chester ' The Wrecker ' Sowell
[The orchestrator of Chester's ILLEGAL Investigation to Remove Chief John White.
Chester has shamed and defamed John White's good name ..
Smearing his character both professionally and personally with VINDICTIVE LIES ..
as Chester continues HIDING behind the cross and USING Ridgecrest for votes.

- [ Possibly one commissioner in the sandbox with Chester.]

- MIKE ' Clear The Innocent and Charge The Guilty ' TEW ..
Citizens Supervisory Committee Chairman ..
He and committee ordered ILLEGAL Investigation.

- GARY ' You can run but you can't hide ' GRIFFIN .. Dothan Personnel Board Chairman ..
Followed Chester's Agenda and Direction To Remove Chief White.

- [ Plus Other Members of the Citizens Supervisory Committee and City Of
Dothan Personnel Board ..They know who they are ..]

- Former Captain Jim 'Anonymous Letters ' Smith .. Forced himself to resign after
he was caught writing MALICIOUS letters full of lies, shaming and defaming Chief White,
his Captains .. and Department.

Dec. 11, 2003 - Jim Smith Polygraph Results: " DECEPTION INDICATED .."
Jim Smith fueled and flamed Chester's ILLEGAL Investigation .. Engaged and Enraged
Chester in his letters .. both with the Same Common Goal - Remove Chief John White.

Jim Smith has also written that he received his law degree from Auburn ..That's Breaking news ..
Even more telling about Jim Smith .. Since Auburn doesn't even have a law school.
John White's law degree is earned / real .. by the way.

- Denise Smith - estranged wife of Jim Smith .. published false allegations.

- SALLY ' I got Chief White ' BUCHANAN .. Best friends with Jim and Denise Smith ..
She filed false allegations against Chief White to Mike Tew.
--

WHAT WOULD THE FBI FIND IF THEY INVESTIGATED CHESTER ?

The Meck's info is .. These defendants could be sued both in their
official capacities .. as well as PERSONALLY.
Translated .. They will have to hire their OWN lawyer .. not funded by The People.

Will Chester continue his LIES under oath ?? .. Could PERJURY be knocking on the door ?
7 years of Chester's Revenge To Remove Chief White ..
Simply because the FBI investigated Chester's Dad. [over 7 years ago.]
FINALLY .. Depositions under oath .. The TRUTH will soon be on the record.

Remember .. Chief White called the FBI in early 2004 and asked them to investigate
himself and his department after these malicious and false allegations were made.
The FBI CLEARED Chief White and The Dothan PD .. They Found NOTHING.

How many guilty people call the FBI to come investigate themselves ?
Has Chester ever called the FBI to investigate his dealings in the mayor's office ?
What would an investigation by the FBI find out about Chester and his office ?

Would Chester tell the FBI to " Go To Hell " ? .. Just like his Dad told them.
--

HOW MUCH IS A GOOD NAME WORTH ?

Chester and his buddies have Shamed and Defamed Chief John White's Good Name ..
and his Family.
How much is a Good Name Worth .. ?? Priceless .. They say.

Back in the mid 60's .. early in his Alabama coaching career ..
Coach Bryant experienced the slings and arrows as he was Falsely Accused
in the Saturday Evening Post article.

At a press conf. Coach Bryant was asked .. How much do you plan to sue for ..?
To which he replied ..
' How do you place a value on a man's good name and character ..' ?

The courts answered with a resounding verdict ..
That there was Great Value in a man's good name and character.
So How much is John White's good name worth ??

Chester The Wrecker and some others will soon find out ..
and so will The People .. who need RELIEF after 7 years of Chester's Oppression.
-

BURNING QUESTIONS

NOTE: All were addressed a year ago to most of those I've named above.

THE MECK REPORT .. 3pm .. Feb. 1, 2005
[More Scoop Than Baskin Robbins .. More Up To Date Than Yesterday's Newspaper.]

The Meck has learned that Lana Smitherman has retained Chief John White as her attorney.

Tip of the Day ..
If the Downtown Group and those at the City / mainly Chester .. decide they want to prosecute ..
I've got a feeling that Chief John White will pull all the sheets off the bed.

Stay Tuned .. As one friend told me ..
People will take off work [even vacation time] to see Chief question Chester .. under oath.

POLICE CAPTAIN HAS BEEN FIRED ..[Sexual Harassment Allegations].
--
Sat. Nov. 27, 2004 .. 12:15 pm.
The Meck has learned that Police Captain John Collier Has Been Fired ..
just days before his retirement.

--
Friday, Nov. 19th ..
The Meck Report let The People Know that Captain John Collier suddenly applied
for retirement [ in early Nov.] when he obviously got the word that a lady had contacted
the Dothan Police Dept. claiming Captain Collier Sexually Harassed Her in the
local store where she works.

Her complaint [ In September] of Sexual Harassment by Captain Collier ..
triggered an INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION .. by The Dothan PD.

Just days after his SUDDEN application for retirement ..[ 26 years in the PD.]
Collier was put on Administrative Leave by City Mgr. Michael West.
Mr. West .. No doubt took the time to look at the facts surrounding this
Sexual Harassment Allegation .. and made the decision.
-
My Thoughts .. [written on Nov. 23rd]
His sudden retirement after 26 years reveals the obvious .. I'll resign before I'm Fired .
Collier's actions appear to verify her claims of sexual harassment ..
Why would Captain Collier suddenly retire ..??
Just a month away from the happiest day of his life - Chief White's retirement .

Collier must have known the obvious .. They must have the goods on him.
[Reminds us of Jim Smith .. I'll 'force' myself to resign .. before I'm Fired ..]
-
CHIEF WHITE and THE CITY MGR.
Chief White turned the John Collier Episode over to the City Mgr. for a final
decision on Collier's status.
Why did Chief do this .. when he had every right as the Dept. Head to Discipline him ..
even Fire Him .. ?

No doubt .. Chief White knew he was leaving in late Dec. and He knows that Chester
would come to the defense of his friend and 'Credible Snitch ' Captain Collier ..
Contacting Chief Inspector Gary Griffin for another Personnel Agenda Investigation ..
[Help Me Rhonda .. All 4 Verses..]

Collier Is Chester's and The Personnel Agenda Board's Malcontent - Snitch joined by
another Malcontent Jim Smith against Chief White and The Dothan PD.[bringing false
allegations quoted by the Personnel Board]. .. ' Desperate Lies.'

THE PEOPLE TAKE NOTE..
The Personnel Board tied a Dept. Head's hands by their so called Investigative
Report .. and made it impossible to discipline his own employees ..
Collier, Their Source, made false allegations against Chief White and the PD.
The Personnel Board made these Lies their obvious agenda.[printed Front Page].

Remember .. The FBI was contacted by Chief White to investigate his Dept.
Think about it .. How many guilty people call the FBI to investigate themselves ??
The FBI found nothing ..

But .. Chief Inspector Gary Agenda Griffin .. Chester's Personnel Agenda Caddie
had to carry on Chester's Agenda .. To destroy Chief White and Remove Him.

The people have noticed .. Now Chester wants an end to his own investigation.
[100 thousand dollars later .. and lawsuits heard knocking on the door.]
He has thrown Mr. Griffin under the bus .. Why? .. It's killing Chester politically.

FIRE THE PERSONNEL AGENDA BOARD ..
The Chief saved the City hundreds of thousands of dollars from another one of
Chester's Personnel Agenda Board Investigations.
We hope Mr. West ends this Sham and Shame ..
The 'so called Investigation' that has Defamed and Damaged so many lives ..

Mr. West .. Many in Dothan would give you a Standing Ovation ..
If You Fired Chester's Personnel Agenda Board, too.
[ A Lifetime contract .. If you Get Rid of Chester ..]

Where have all of Chester's credible snitches gone ..?
Their own actions have brought shame to The Dothan Police Dept.
Both Captains Trying To Remove Chief White - Have Now Removed Themselves.
Fate does have a way of ordering from the menu .. Doesn't It ..??
--
QUESTION ANSWERED ..
How can any man talk down to a woman with vile language - shaming and degrading her ..?
Let's raise the bar ..
How can a Police Captain In Uniform .. who took an oath To Protect and Serve The People ..
Be Allowed to Dish out Sexual Harassment ..? Humiliating a lady in her local business.

That .. Now has been answered ..
The Uniforn and Badge .. Represent The People Of Dothan .. To Protect and Serve ..
The Oath Taken ..
That has to be the Defining Issue .. Or The Uniform and Badge mean nothing.

Like I've said .. I know this lady .. She is very believeable.
Obviously.
-
Youth note .. Any man who disrespects a woman .. He usually has no respect for anyone.
If a boy grows up and respects his mother .. He treats women - everyone with respect.
-

COLLIER and CHESTER ..
Collier was an instrumental part in helping Chester try to Fire The Chief in 1999 ..
because of the FBI Investigation into Chester's Dad and Friends ..
and Now in 2004 .. Collier is Chester's Malcontent Source along with Jim Smith
in Chester's Illegal Personnel Agenda Investigation To Remove Chief White.

The Last 10 years ..
Sometimes when Chief was at Lunch ..Collier would go in Chief White's office ..
Sit in Chief's chair with his feet on Chief's Desk ..
Telling Chief's Secretary .. 'One day I'll be The Chief.'
She could say nothing to him .. She was outranked .. Though Not Outclassed.

Many in The Dothan Police Department are Relieved That the Cancer in The
Dothan PD has Removed Himself. His Hate for The Chief causing years of Pain.
Captain Collier has brought years of disdain and disloyalty to the PD.
He's Lied about The Chief and Defamed Fellow Officers .. and now Shamed the PD.

When the news of his firing hit the PD .. I assure you .. No violins were heard playing.
-
COURAGE ..
This lady had the courage to bring claims of Sexual Harassment against a Police Captain.
That was a big step ..

Will the lady bringing these allegations file a lawsuit against the city and Collier?
The City Manager has decided Collier's status .. Your Fired.
What kind of Message did the new City Manager send .. ?
Mr. West .. Obviously can work with a Dept. Head and make a decision ..[ In this life.]
No Doubt .. It Sends a Message to The People and City Employees.
-
MR. WEST - ASK THE CHIEF ..
We ask The CM To ask The Chief to hold a Press Conference.
The Chief should not have to worry aboout retaliation from Chester
or The Personnel Board ..
Because their Credible source - Captain John Collier has been fired.

Mr. West - City Mgr. .. You should stand beside Our Chief during The Press Conf.
It would be a reflection of a joint effort and give you Instant Credibilty with The People.
Fate has Orderd From The Menu ..
The Chief deserves to Dish out the facts about Captain Collier.. To The People.
They should know how the PD deals with Sexual Harassment Allegations.
-
FATE HAS ORDERED ..
Fate has Ordered From The Menu .. and DISHES ARE BEING SERVED..
Based on Motives of Chester's Revenge and LIARS Defaming Chief White's
Good Name and The Dothan Police Department.

Chester's buddies .. all joined with Chester to Remove Chief White ..
They have been Removed .. Former Commissioner Tim Smith ..
Former Captain Jim Smith .. Former Captain John Collier ..

One can only imagine .. What Has FATE HAS ORDERED FOR CHESTER ??

They remind me of the dog who always chases the car .. They can't seem to get enough ..
Until That One Day ..

That day finally came for Captain Collier .. in November 2004 ..
He heard about the complaint and forced himself to suddenly retire..[ Now Fired]
Just 1 Month Away From The Day That He'd Been Living For ..
For 10 years .. Chief White's Retirement.
-
Welcome Mr. West .. To My Hometown .. [ 49 years].
It's refreshing to hear a Leader in our City Govt. that has the courage to make
a decision .. In This Life .. before we all meet Robert Byrd.
-
THANKS CHIEF and THE DOTHAN PD ..
Thanks to Chief White and The Dothan Police Department for Protecting and
Serving Me and My Hometown .. Dothan, Ala.

One Day Soon .. The PD won't have to put up with Chester and His Revenge.
The Police get low wages and Lay Their Life on the line ..
For You and Me .. Fighting Thieves and Thugs on the street.
They shouldn't have to deal with a low life - mayor's wrath .. [ A Thug Mentality]
and his Malcontent Friends.
-
This is The Issue ..
A Public Official trying to Remove a Police Chief for 7 years ..
Using Public Money to fund an Illegal Investigation .. Why ..??
Because The Mayor doesn't agree with the laws Chief White swore to uphold ..
Because Chester's Dad and buddies were Investigated 7 years ago by the FBI.

That's The function of a City Mgr. Govt. - To Protect a Dept. Head From
a Mayor [ Like Chester] Trying To Remove a Dept. Head For Personal Reasons.

HEY CHIEF .. THANKS FOR THE RIDE
Chief White Retires on Dec. 25th ..[ on his own timetable]
31 years of Service To The People ..

Sexual Harassment Allegations -The People Deserve To Know..
--
Sexual Harassment Defined .. ' No exact words. It doesn't take a lot.
Any sexual discussions in which has sexual content or Inferences that
are offensive.[Unwanted]
Jokes that are offensive or repeating what you've heard ..
Intending to gain some kind of response.
It's not the presenter's view. It's the receivers standpoint.'
--

This past Friday ..
The Meck Report let The People Know that Captain John Collier suddenly applied
for retirement [ in early Nov.] when he obviously got the word that a lady had contacted
the Dothan Police Dept. claiming Captain Collier Sexually Harassed Her in the
local store where she works.

Her complaint of Sexual Harassment by Captain Collier ..
triggered an INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION .. by The Dothan PD.

Just days after his SUDDEN retirement .. Collier was put on Administrative Leave
by City Mgr. Michael West ..
More than a few already knew .. I was contacted just hours after I released my
information and told by a gentleman that a friend told him about Collier on Thursday.

My Thoughts .. Straight Up.
His sudden retirement after 26 years reveals the obvious .. I'll resign before I'm Fired .
Collier's actions appear to verify her claims of sexual harassment ..
Why would Captain Collier suddenly retire ..??
Just a month away from the happiest day of his life - Chief White's retirement .

Collier must have known the obvious .. They must have the goods on him.
[Reminds us of Jim Smith .. I'll 'force' myself to resign .. before I'm Fired ..]

Chief White turned the John Collier Episode over to the City Mgr. for a final
decision on Collier's status.
Why did Chief do this .. when he had every right as the Dept. Head to Discipline him ..
even Fire Him .. ?

No doubt .. Chief White knew he was leaving in late Dec. and He knows that Chester
would come to the defense of his friend and 'Snitch' Captain Collier ..
Contacting Chief Inspector Gary Griffin for another Personnel Agenda Investigation ..
[God Save The Queen and The City of Dothan].

After all ..
Collier was Chester's and The Personnel Agenda Board's Malcontent - Snitch joined by
another Malcontent Jim Smith against Chief White and The Dothan PD.[bringing false
allegations quoted by the Personnel Board]. .. ' Desperate Lies.'

The Chief saved the City hundreds of thousands of dollars from another one of
Chester's Personnel Agenda Board Investigations.
Where have all the snitches gone ..? Their own actions have' forced' them to resign.
Both Captains Trying To Remove Chief White - Have Now Removed Themselves.
Fate does have a way of ordering from the menu .. Doesn't It ..??
--
SEXUAL HARASSMENT ..
Counselors will tell you the No. 1 need of a woman is Communication ..
If so .. Then Sexual Harassment must be the No. 1 turn-off.
How can any man talk down to a woman with vile language - shaming and degrading her ..?
Let's raise the bar ..
How can a Police Captain in uniform who took an oath To Protect and Serve The People ..
Be Allowed to Dish out Sexual Harassment ..? Humiliating a lady in her local business.

I know this lady .. and like I said .. She is very believeable.
Captain Collier has frequented this store thru the years.[In his Police Uniform].
I've seen him in this local store.
--
The City Mgr. is not commenting ..
In all honesty .. THE PEOPLE don't want to hear about these allegations in their
Police Dept. from The CM ..

THE PEOPLE want to hear from their Police Chief - John White .. who has
Protected and Served Dothan for 31 years ..
They Know Chief White and They want To Know from him about The Dothan PD.

The City Mgr. can deliver the decision on Collier ..
But The Sexual Harassment Allegations against a Captain should be discussed
by The Police Chief.
-
IS CHESTER INTEFERING ?
There must be No Inteference from Chester trying to Influence The City Mgr.
[That would be breaking Ala. Law again by Chester influencing The CM.]
Is Chester Trying To sway the decision on his longtime friend - Captain John Collier ?
or trying to silence The Chief from speaking to The People.

Be Careful Mr. West .. Chester will Break the law [and Use You] in order to Continue
His 7 year Revenge against Chief White. [even with only a month before Chief Retires.]

Collier was an instrumental part in helping Chester try to Fire The Chief in 1999 ..
because of the FBI Investigation into Chester's Dad and Friends ..
and Now in 2004 .. Collier is still Chester's Malcontent Source along with Jim Smith
in Chester's Illegal Personnel Agenda Investigation To Remove Chief White.

Over The last 10 years ..
Sometimes when Chief was at Lunch ..Collier would go in Chief White's office ..
Sit in Chief's chair with his feet on Chief's Desk ..
Telling Chief's Secretary .. 'One day I'll be The Chief.'
She could say nothing to him .. She was outranked .. Though Not Outclassed.

Many in The Dothan Police Department are Relieved That the Cancer in The
Dothan PD has Removed Himself. His Hate for The Chief causing years of Pain.

You can truthfully say .. This was a FORCED resignation ..
Collier obviously heard about the complaint .. and He' forced ' himself to suddenly retire
1 month away from the day That he'd been living for .. For 10 years ..Chief's retirement.
The evidence must be overwhelming.
-
COURAGE ..
This lady had the courage to bring claims of Sexual Harassment against a Police Captain.
That was a big step.
You might wonder .. Are they true ?? Captain Collier must believe they are ..
[Suddenly applying for his retirement at 48-49 years old.]

THE PEOPLE deserve to Know what's going on ..
We ask Chief White to hold a Press Conference and Tell The People
that he has protected and served for 31 years.

The City Mgr should ask the Chief to hold a Press Conf. and discuss
what has happened to Captain Collier .. and How The Chief deals with
Sexual Harassment claims in his Dept. .. Especially this case.

Just ask any man .. What's worse than a Hurricane ?? A Scorned Woman ..

Will the lady bringing these allegations file a lawsuit against the city and Collier?
The City Manager is deciding Collier's status ..
What kind of Message will the new City Manager send .. ?
Many women will be watching ..
No Doubt .. It will Send a Message to The People and City Employees.
-
MR. WEST - ASK THE CHIEF ..
We ask The CM To ask The Chief to hold a Press Conference.
The Chief should not have to worry aboout retaliation from Chester
or The Personnel Board ..
Because their Credible source - Captain John Collier has forced himself to resign.

Mr. West - City Mgr. .. You should stand beside Our Chief during The Press Conf.
It would be a reflection of a joint effort and give you Instant Credibilty with The People.
Fate has Orderd From The Menu ..
The Chief deserves to Dish out the facts about Captain Collier.. To The People.

The Meck will sit down at anytime The Chief wishes and do a Q and A .. Interview.
On Tape .. and Print Exactly what Chief White says ..
The People Deserve To Know .. and They will know ..
The Truth will Set Our Hometown Free.

FATE HAS ORDERED From The Menu .. and DISHES ARE BEING SERVED..
Based on Motives of Chester's Revenge and LIARS Defaming Chief White's
Good Name and The Dothan Police Department.

Chester The Wrecker's Personnel Agenda in a Quagmire..

" The only thing in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead animals."

Nov. 19, 2004 .. 1am ..

Chester The Wrecker's Personnel Agenda in a Quagmire ..
--
The Meck has learned that Dothan Police Captain John Collier has been placed
on administrative leave by City Manager Michael West .. Just days after
Captain Collier suddenly applied for retirement.[ in early Nov. after 26 years].
[He must have heard the word].

Collier is and has been the subject of an Internal Affairs Investigation
into claims that he sexually harassed a lady [in her local store].

Captain Collier is the Personnel Agenda Board's 'credible snitch ..'
His obvious anomosity thru the years towards Chief White ..
drove the Personnel Board to Publish all 10 of his and another malcontent's
false allegations .. known as lies.

CREDIBLE SOURCE ? Auburn Law Degree ??
If you Believe Jim Smith didn't write those vicious-defamimg letters as he says ..
Then you must also believe him when he wrote McGraw-Hill Book Publishers
and said .." Jim received both his Doctor of Education and his Juris Doctorate
form Auburn University." direct quote written by Jim Smith ..[ form is JS spelling]

As one friend said re his JD [ Law Degree claim] ..
" That's amazing .. Auburn doesn't even have a Law School " ..
Amazing 4 sure ..Telling to most of us..[excluding Chester's Personnel Agenda Board].

Auburn is not a ' university ' like Kennedy-Western where you mail them a check
and buy a degree and hang it on your wall .. like Jim Smith's Education
and Law Degrees ..?
Kennedy-Western University is a degree order mill .. A Fraud .. DR. FAKE ..
So highly thought of they have been kicked out of several states ..
It's even against the law in some states to use this fake LIE degree on your resume ..

He got his law degree from Auburn ?
Most with an IQ above plant life find that not credible .. Truly not believable.
But yet people still quote him ..Themselves becoming more non-believeable.
-
COMISH CLEMENTS CHILDISH ..
One of those top 10 Personnel Agenda Lies was thrown on the front page in a
disgusting Childish display by Comish Don Clements re his credit being checked.
[ by Chief White] ..
That wasTotally False and Malicious. [Don, Your sources are malcontents-not credible].
Why hasn't the reporter questioned Clements about his false allegations
at the Commission meeting ?

Still waiting for a front page apology from Commissioner Clements' Sandbox ..
That Credit Check was probably the FBI .. Like you said Don ..
The FBI had investigated you earlier.

The People should not forget it was Mayor Chester and Comish Don Clements
who testified AGAINST the Dothan PD and The FBI .. Fall 99 ..
in Federal Court .. Hunt's Investigation.

The records show .. Not many times has a sitting Mayor and Commissioner
testified against their own Police Dept. and the FBI.
The record also shows .. They are both proud of it .. Chester's Revenge..

Chester's 2 SOURCES - 2 MALCONTENTS..

Chester's Personnel Agenda Board's 2 sources are 2 malcontents..
Captain John Collier and former Capt. Jim Smith. [embraced by Gary Griffin].
Both, trying to help CHESTER - The Wrecker remove
Chief White with his Illegal Investigation in 2004 ..

Both malcontents resigned because both knew they were caught and guilty.
[Fact .. Smith's lawyer, Mr. Hornsby called Chief and asked could Jim Smith resign
instead of being fired .. Dec. 2003] Chief graciously allowed the resignation.
If you called that ' forced ' as Jim Smith claims ..
Your mama must have dropped you on your head when you were a baby.

[Fact .. Collier suddenly applies for retirement in early Nov. 2004 .. He's put on
administrative leave and possibly could be fired .. The City Mgr. Michael West just
might want to send a message .. because now the city could face another lawsuit.
I can assure you ..
The lady bringing these sexual harassment allegations is very believeable.

Gary Griffin, Chester's Personnel Agenda caddie has defamed Chief White and
destroyed a Police Department even calling them racists ..
Using Chester's Malcontents as Sources .." You can run but you can't hide"
with these sources Mr. Griffin .. The Truth - Light is exposing all of your lies.

All joined with the common goal .. Remove Chief White ..
Chester has used Smith, Collier and Griffin .. and Others .. Chester's Revenge ..
Chester The Wrecker has left his Personnel Agenda caddies in a Quagmire.

Remember .. Chester demanded City Mgr. Jerry Gwaltney fire Chief White
in Feb. of 99. [ Breaking Alabama Law]
Captain Collier has been helping Mayor Chester with his agenda for many years.
Why ..? Both shared a common goal .. Remove Chief John White.
--
FLASHBACK ..
CHESTER'S REVENGE Facts to remember .. Timelines to follow ..
It was spring of 97 .. soon after The FBI raid at Hunt's ..

' Chet Sowell '.. [father of Dothan Comis.Chester Sowell]
walked into a local coffee shop in Brewton, Al. saying ..
' When my son gets to be mayor[ Dothan], He's going to fire that damn Police Chief.'

Mayor Chester Sowell orchestrated the removal - "resignation"of Chief White .. Feb 99..
[breaking Ala. Law] Demanding City Mgr. Jerry Gwaltney Fire Chief White ..
Chester found out the Dothan PD had assisted the FBI in the Hunt's Investigation ..

Chester was also furious his Dad had been Interviewed by the FBI ..
The word is the elder Mr. Sowell greeted The FBI with ' Go To Hell '..

[Mayor Chester violated Code of Ala 1975 - Title 11 - 44E - 93] ..
Demanding CM Jerry Gwaltney Fire Chief John White ..[Feb 99]
--
Section 11-44E-93 .. Noninterference by mayor or commission with
certain duties of city manager; dealings with administrative service.
" Neither the mayor, commission nor any of its members shall direct the
employment or removal of any person by the city manager or by any
of his (her) subordinates in the administrative service of the city. "
--
Sound familiar ? 5 years later .. Chester's Revenge ..
He's tried to Remove the Chief with the 'so called investigation' in 2004 ..

[One doubts Chester will pay for the lawyers of those who have
embraced Chester's Lies]
Can he afford his own ?? .. City Atny. Len White might not be available to him ..

Tues. Feb. 24, 2004 .. Mayor Chester -The Wrecker asked that Chief White be fired.
[in Exec session ..]
The City Mgr. refused .. Jerry Corbin is upfront [honest] and he knows what
Chester is all about .. [Mr. Corbin did a wonderful service as CM.]

of Note .. Chester being the honest [upfront - out in the open guy he is .. ]
[Chester tried to fire the Chief on this same day Chief was in Montgomery
taking his Bar Exam]..
[Take note .. Chief John White begins practicing Law .. Jan. 2005]

[ Chester reminds us of ' the dog who always chases the car..'
He can't seem to ever get enough .. Until one day ... ]
Remember Tim Smith .. Jim Smith .. John Collier .. All chased the car until ..
--
Aug 99 .. The Dothan Eagle Headline .. " IT'S TIME FOR CHESTER TO GO ."

We asked the people of Dothan the obvious ..
Has Chester Changed .. ??
[ You won't need to call Christopher Columbus .. 4 this Discovery ..]

5 years later .. Nov. 2004 .. Same Headline .. Same Revenge Story ..

Do You Think ' IT'S TIME FOR CHESTER TO GO ..' ??
--
MR. WEST [City Mgr].. WELCOME TO CHESTER'S QUAGMIRE ..

Mr. West .. Welcome to the Quagmire .. We hope you survive Chester ..
unlike the last 2 City Managers he ran off.

Thanks for telling Chester's Personnel Agenda caddie .. Gary Griffin ..
I think even he got your message .. [Nov. 8th to the Personnel Board]
Summarizing your words ..[They are hurting your efforts to find a Chief..
Hurting the Morale in the Police Dept...The Investigation should have been over ..
Many people have expressed to you They want it over.. and You are about to end it.]

Many loved what you said and the way you said it .. to this Disgraceful Board.
You might be at City Hall longer than Chester The Wrecker .. Mr. West.

Chester's Personnel Agenda Investigation is Killing him Politically - he's been told ..
That's why he's thrown his Personnel Agenda caddie, Mr. Griffin under the bus ..
Now He wants The Illegal Investigation Stopped by The City Mgr.
It's Obvious to most ..

Chester The Wrecker has Towed Dothan's future away ..
Costing precious lives and millions upon millions ..
"Where There is No Vision .. The People Perish."
--
Have you heard about Comish Reading trashing Chief White at a Zoning meeting ?
Saying Chief doesn't want Chester's administration to look good.??

Just like I said in The Meck Report last week .. Chester toys with and plays the blacks
against the Police Dept. - That's why He's Chester The Wrecker ..The Racial Divider.
Mr. Reading Blew It .. He Flips and Flops more than an Aunt Jemima Pancake ..
--
Do You Think ' IT'S TIME FOR CHESTER TO GO ..' ??
The Remove Chester Group Will Press On .. Until We Achieve Our Worthy Goal.

Be Like Thomas Jefferson .. Choose 'A Free Press any day '..
Email a Friend .. The Truth Will Set Us Free.

If Someone warns you .. ' The Bridge Is Out ' .. ' There's a Snake in Your House '..
Are they your enemy or your friend .. ??

The Issue to me is not Political .. It's very Personal ..
[Like Matt Drudge says .. It's Really All Personal] .. I totally agree ..

The Meck will 'fulfill His obligation' to Write what He knows ..
[without any fear of Censorship]
So the people of Dothan will Know and ' The Truth will set my Hometown Free.'

a Special Thanks to my friend who suggested I needed ' more burn ' in my writing.
I hope your fired up - like others are.
One friend says she pours water on her computer ..
Maybe I should tell her .. Just give Chief Crawford a jingle.

Chester - The Wrecker throws his Personnel Agenda caddie under the bus [If you're looking for him Mr. West-City Mgr]

CHESTER - THE WRECKER throws his Personnel Agenda caddie under the bus ..
[ If you're looking for him Mr. West - City Mgr. ].
--
Have you noticed ..?? Looks like Chester has thrown his Personnel Agenda Board
under the bus .. [Atn. Mr. Michael West - City Manager ] ..
Chester has Flopped and now Flipped on his 'so called' Investigation he started and orchestrated in January to Remove Chief John White.
He played with Gary Griffin like a toy using him to trash Chief White's good name
and destroy the Dothan Police Dept.

Chester enlisted Griffin in early 2004 as his personal caddie to carry out Chester's
personal and only agenda for the last 7 years. The Revenge and hatred towards
Chief White for enforcing laws that effected his Dad and buddies.[ FBI Investigation].

Now .. Chester has been told by one of his buddies that the Personnel Board's
Investigation is killing him politically.[ for his re-election bid for Mayor]
So now Chester wants The investigation over with and the Personnel Board's
authority re-done.

CHESTER LED VOTES AND INVESTIGATION
Surely the people of Dothan know that Chester led the votes of 4 other
commissioners all year to keep voting to pay for this Illegal investigation ..
[ close to 100 thousand dollars by now .]

Chester orchestrated and led the Personnel Board's Illegal Investigation..
Chester was Enraged and Engaged by Jim Smith in December 2003 when Smith
resigned with his racial and vicious letters falsely accusing Chief White and
the Dothan PD ..
Chester and Jim Smith both joined with a common goal - Remove Police Chief White.

Chester knew The 'so called' Investigation was harming Chief White's good name ..
But now Chief has announced his retirement .. 31 years of wonderful service
and leadership ..
His name trashed by Chester and his Personnel Agenda Board .
[It will soon cost them mucho grande].

So Chester sees no need to continue this illegal investigation .. Nov. 2004
Chief is leaving and a Police Dept.has been trashed and members called racists
by Chester's Personnel Agenda Board and his caddie - Gary Griffin .. who himself
sure seems to be an expert on racism. Defamimg and Shaming The Police Dept.

His personal vendetta and agenda with a few others on the Personnel Board is
obviuos to most. No doubt .. It will soon costs them all mucho grande.

Now the Light - The Truth has been shined on their motives of darkness .. and the
rats led by Chief Rat Chester are jumping ship. Chester has used him up and
thrown Gary Griffin and his Personnel Agenda Board under the bus ..
Gary Griffin has been used as a toy by Chester and Jim Smith.
A willing playmate the facts reveal.

Sally Buchanan engaged Mike Tew with her lies about Chief White and he
willingly led The Citizens Supervisory Committee with an obvious agenda ..
Ordering an illegal investigation.
All joined with the common goal to remove Chief White. And of course if
nothing works You can always accuse someone of being a racist .. when all else fails.

CHIEF'S 57 BURNING QUESTIONS .. Still Smokin ..

56. Ms. Sally Buchanan, You’ve told your co-workers at Wallace College that, "I got John White, I did my homework", How have you got Chief White and where is your homework?

57. Open hypothetical question to everyone: If you were a classified city employee who enjoyed a property interest in your employment thus affording you due process rights when disciplined, full benefits and 19 ½ years in a 25 year retirement which vested at 10 years, earning $55,000 to $60,000 per year, and you weren’t guilty of a department head’s allegations, would you have resigned?
--
Meck Note .. No one has answered any of the 57 posed by Chief White on May 6, 2004 ..
But now you know the obvious answers .. Not one has denied or said a word.
Why ?? .. Because Every Question is a statement of Fact .. Truth.
Burning Questions in May .. STILL SMOKIN LIKE A FAJITA in November.
--
THE FBI .. ATTORNEY GENERAL SHOULD FILE CHARGES AGAINST CHESTER ..
Chester has used his Public Office to try and remove a Public Official using Public
funds to iilegally fund his investigation .. to get Revenge toward Chief White and the
Dothan Police Dept.
Chester is GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE .. Charges should have already been filed .

When will The FBI .. US Attorney or Attorney General's Office Investigate ??
Maybe They will .. If You and I contact them ..
That would be a Legit Investigation and The Rats woulld really be fleeing [ under oath].

Comissioner Thomas voted against the funding of Chester's Personnel Agenda Board's
Illegal Investigation .. all year long in 2004 joined by Comiss. Tidwell.

HOLD MAYOR AND THOSE COMISS. RESPONSIBLE
I believe it's past time to hold Chester and those commissioners who voted to pay for this Illegal investigation responsible and accountable.
They WILL PAY on election day and should pay before .. Re-Imbursing the city for all legal fees including those in the Dothan PD who have been Molested by Chester's Revenge.

Chester and the commission's illegal funding is the same as supplying dope to a drug dealer .. or a paying for a gun for a killer. You made it all possible.
Names and families in the Dothan Police Department have been trashed and their "Good Name" destroyed because they were fulfilling an oath - to uphold the law .. Regardless .

CITY MGR ASKED TO STOP HUGE POLITICAL PROBLEM
The Commission led by Pat Thomas and even Chester The Wrecker are now asking the new City Manager Mr. Michael West to find an end to this obvious Illegal Investigation by The Personnel Agenda Board .. It has Become a Huge Political Problem.
It's Too Late .. The Destruction has already been done to many lives .. their families and their "Good Name."
Many know the facts and hope Mr. West will end Chester's Illegal Investigation using The Personnel Board to destroy Chief White and his Police Dept. Mr. West should also contact Federal and State authorities and ask them to investigate the mis-use of Public Funds to pay for this Illegal Investigation.

Money seems to be the reason for wanting to end it. Plus the HUGE Political Fallout. The reason should be because it's been so deadly to our city and Police Dept ..
It's been Dishonest and Destructive for so many. The Commission and mayor owe
the Police Dept. and the people of Dothan a huge apology for allowing this vicious attack. Especially on Chief White .. Most of The Commissioners and Mayor have Disgraced Our Hometown ..
The People will Hold you Responsible .. I promise they will.

We are still waiting for Comiss. Clements to apologize [ from his and Chester's Sandbox]
to Chief White [on the Front page] for his Childish attack and false accusations.
We all know Chester will have to go under oath - to tell the truth .. with Perjury
knocking on the door.
The verdict will be loud and clear .. and 100 thousand will seem like small change.

Thanks to Comiss. Pat Thomas for asking the new CM Mr. West to rid our city of
this Personnel Board's Illegal Investigation.
The summer of 2005 .. Many plan on removing The Cancer - The Thug who sits in the
Mayor's office and Lift the dark clouds of Oppression .. 7 years has been 7 too many.
It might happen before this summer.

CHESTER USES THE CHURCH TO HIDE - DESTROY LIVES ..
Chester's buddie was right .. Many know that he orchestrated and funded this Personnel Board's Division and Destruction of The Dothan Police Dept.
Chester - The Wrecker is Dead Politically ..

He's Hanging on a thread .. Continuing to Hide behind the Cross using Ridgecrest and all Churches to con them for their vote .. and their endorsement to promote his Evil Agenda ..
A Religous Thug - Pharisees - Fakes - Jesus called them " Snakes."
How can so many be so Duped and So Blind ?
Chester continues Using The Church To Hide and Destroy our City and many Lives.

I can't tell you who'll be mayor of Dothan for sure .. Although I do have a Clue.
But I can tell you for sure who it won't be.

The Mayor is a Shame - Disgrace and The Racial Divider of our city ..
Just like the Personnel Board and Citizens Supervisory Committee.
We need to remove the mayor and most of them .. We can and we will.
--
49 years ago I was born here in Dothan .. Nov. 9th ..
[Thanks to Eunice and Dick Meckley ..] This is my Hometown ..
I love it and I am taking it back.

CHESTER'S RACIAL DIVISION
In my lifetime .. I have never seen the racial division like we have right now in
our city gov't. I know many feel the same way.
You can Point to the mayor Chester Sowell .. The Wrecker .. The Divider ..
Chester uses the Black Community toying with them to fuel his agenda of division ..
To accomplish his Dishonest Motives ..[ Pitting one against the other]
Under the banner that he cares about them .. Please.

He has duped Amos and Mr. Reading playing them as a fool pitting them and the
black community against others just like the Police Department. That Racial
Division will all change when Chester -The Wrecker is removed ..

Amos's Racial Statements [ Discord fueled by Chester] are a DRAG on this city ..
One writer who listens to him every Tuesday called Amos a " Political Hack."
Amos is truly an Embarrassment for District 2 and our entire city.
Luther King had a Dream .. Amos has become a Nightmare for Dothan ..
A Mirror and Representative of Chester's Discord and Divisive agenda.
--
This is My Hometown .. Your Hometown ..
Let's take it back from Discord .. Disgrace and Shame.

CHIEF TRIBUTE
Special Thanks to Chief White for his 31 years of service to my Hometown ..
Chief is the most honest man I've ever known .. A man who helps so many.
DOTHAN and The Dothan PD will 4ever remember The Chief and Be Grateful
For His Brilliant Leadership and HisTireless Devotion to his Hometown .

It's a Shame so many have been so silent as his good name has been stoned to
death for the last 7 years by Chester's Revenge - Shamimg and Defaming
Chief White's Good Name. The verdict will be mucho grande dinero.
He will deserve all of it for putting up with these Evil fools who have no respect
for Law and Order.
Soon .. I'll be posting a Tribute To The Chief .. and Hosting one too. I'll be sharing
some inside stories about a Wonderful Man .. Chief John White ..
Even His Main Squeeze .. Barbara [The Real Deal ] White .. My Classmate
-
Keep reading and you'll know the facts .. I've spent many hours researching and writing.
I hope CM Mr. West reads this and surely it will help him know the truth.
Just like so many who have read THE MECK REPORT ..
They now know what 7 years of Chester's Revenge towards Chief White is all about.

Re-Read Enraging - Engaging Chester article .. You will know and remember
the facts of Chester's Revenge.
Truth has exposed the Rats and their Personnel Agenda Investigation ..
Now Chester's jumping ship and throwing those He's Used under the Bus.

He's Flopped and now Flipped on his 'so called' investigation he started to
Remove Chief White. No one is surprised. It's real obvious to Most.

Let's Remove Chester - The Wrecker and let's take Our Hometown back ..

The Winds Of Change are beginning to Blow .. Because The People Now Know.
It will be real windy in 2005 .. The forecast says ..
The Remove Chester Group will Press On Until We Achieve our Worthy Goal.
" Baby .. You ain't seen nothing yet .." the lyrics of BTO say it best.

Email a friend .. The Truth will set Our Hometown Free.
The Darkest Time Of The Nite ?? Just Before Dawn.

In the words of my brother Shannon .. Write On Bro .. I believe I will.
Thanks for encouraging me Bro to think on my own .. and the only way

So grab an ice tea or a cold Diet Pepsi .. It's time to think before that cold
November rain arrives ..
To be honest .. It's past time to think and write.

DEWSIE and THE LADY GOVS BEAT BAMA ..

Speaking of milestones .. Congrats to Coach Gene Dews and the
Wallace College Lady Govs who traveled to Tuscaloosa and beat
Alabama 1-0 in Softball. [Saturday]
The Lady Govs finished 3rd in the nation in 2004 [ Jr. College].

Blair Potter threw a 1 hitter for the Lady Govs and Holly Elliot aka Javy Lopez
had 2 hits including the only RBI. This All American battery [ Blair and Holly]
proved too much for the Crimson Tide and their ace pitcher ..
Stephanie Van Brackle, who threw against The US Olympic team earlier this year.

Mal Moore .. Bama AD came up after the game and told Coach Dews ..
' Coach ..You've got a great Jr. College program. Your girls played hard.'

Reports are that over 700 fans watched this gem of a game in T-Town ..
Many even cheering for the Lady Govs.

Coach Dews on this monumental achievement ..
" Meck .. It's an uphill battle to beat top pitchers and programs in the top 10.
It was a big win .. It's like reaching the flag at the top of the mountain ..
You have worked and worked and you know you can compete with
anyone, anywhere .." Coach Gene Dews ..
--
Dothan and the Wiregrass should be proud of their Jr. College - Wallace.
The word is out nationwide about The Lady Govs of Coach Gene Dews ..
It's past time more was written and said locally about this amazing and
accomplished program ..
It's one of the best marketing tools in this town .. but The Meck believes
they are under appreciated and not acknowlegded as they should be.

The Lady Govs do a lot with a little .. They are Contenders ..
The last 3 years in the National Finals .. Jr. College World Series.
Kids are calling from all over the Southeast to play in Dothan.

The word is out about Coach Dews and his Class program and the
parents are seeking him out.
They know their kids will go to class .. and play with class on the field.
Coach Dews and The Lady Govs have put Dothan and The Wiregrass on
the map in many ways.
I'm sure Dr. Young - President of Wallace College appreciates the way
they represent the Wallace - Dothan name wherever they play nationwide.

It's Time the Wiregrass recognized and acknowleged Coach Dews and
The Lady Govs .. and appreciate their amazing accomplishments.
They represent our Hometown .. Dothan, Ala. and They Do It Well.
A round of applause to Dewsie's assistants .. Buddy .. Dr. Mac and
Miss Skipperville.

FREE SPEECH or CENSORSHIP ?
Thanks for your Time and letting me share with you ..
I will continue to WRITE ON.
Thanks to the internet .. The last frontier of free speech not controlled by
corporations and their censorship - Deciding what they want me to read and hear.

It must have been Thomas Jefferson .. not Al Gore who invented the internet.
Jefferson was asked .. If you had a choice between a Free Press or a free
government .. Which would you choose ??
' I'd choose a Free Press Anyday. ' Jefferson said.

I'm not a fan of either one .. But think about it.
If Rush Limbaugh can trash people on the radio .. Then Howard Stern should
be able to talk his trash. It's called a choice .. hit the on-off button.
That's your free speech.

Satellite Radio will replace Corporate owned radio as we know it today.
Cable Radio will revolutionize the radio business just like cable TV has blown
away network programmimg - over the air stations.
A new frontier of free speech ?
That's where I plan on landing one day with my radio show ..

Censorship is a half-truth .. a lie .. Free Speech keeps people free.

GEORGE W. BUSH .. If he's re-elected .. Baseball loses ..
If he loses .. Baseball wins .. and could get a Legit Baseball Comissioner ..
not an Owner's Comish like Bud Popeye Selig ..[ He could mess up a 1 car funeral ] ..

Baseball Commissioner is a job Bush has always wanted .. more than the Presidency ..
Maybe Bob Costas is available .. I've got his number .. He would be a dandy ..
His passion and knowledge would connect the fans and players .. Promoting the game ..
Baseball is Leaderless .. It's the only business I know that demotes it product ..
If you're Whining .. ain't nobody buying ..

Summarizing Peter Gammons .. He said it best recently about the owners ..
Baseball needs to quit treating its players like they are shopping with Wal-Mart mentality ..
Labor is Product and Entertainment .. Product/Players are investments not just an expense ..

My favorite example is the lovable George Steinbrenner ..
His payroll is 180 million and everyone rips him 4 that .. The Yankees are valued by
Forbes at almost 900 million .. Thus his payroll-investment in his product is about 20% ..
Probably a lower percentage than most businesses pay ..

CHIEF JOHN WHITE .. over 30 years with the Dothan Police Dept.
10 years as Chief .. past Pres. of Ala. Chiefs Assn., a grad of the FBI Academy ..
Congrats Chief on your recent graduation from Law School ..

How many Police Chiefs have a law degree ?? Probably very few in the US ..
Perhaps that's why Johnnie Cochran told Chief .. [ with Keith Givens and myself]
" Send me your Resume Chief .. I might need your help on some cases .."

Meck Tip .. Maybe Chief John White should write on that resume ..
' Looking for Hire .. When I Retire '..

Augusta - The Masters - 2004 .. I know Phil finally won .. but

AUGUSTA - The Masters - 2004 .. I know Phil finally won .. BUT .. I will most remember
BRUCE EDWARDS passing away on Thursday as dawn broke at his favorite Tournament ..
Hours before, The Golf Writers had just honored Bruce with The Ben Hogan Award ..
given on the eve of every Masters to someone who exemplifies courage ..

It was 6:26 Thurs. morn. Apr. 8th .. Bruce teed off finally on ALS .. Lou Gehrig's Disease ..
Bruce Edwards was only 49 ..
His longtime friend and brother-like golfer, TOM WATSON, got the sad news just before he
teed off that morning at Augusta ..The skies were gloomy all day, shedding tears like so many ..
Bruce had carried Tom's bag and served him with loyalty and love for over 30 years ..

One of my favorite memories of Bruce Edwards .. Aug. 1991 at Crooked Stick
[ Indianappolis] .. [ John Daly won the PGA .. PLUS It was Bobby Clampett's 1st TV job
on TBS and CBS ..] I was working with TBS .. Bobby Clampett and Pat Haden ..

I was checking my yardage in the middle of the fairway with Bruce .. He gave me a few
pointers of wisdom .. I never really knew him .. [ I know my Dad did for years on theTour]
Yet .. I will always remember that day when Bruce took T I M E to help me .. He was so kind ..

It made me so sad when I heard the news last Thursday .. I thought back to last summer when
Bruce and Tom had those wonderful days at the US Open and the fans teared up over Bruce ..
I thought of Bruce passing away at Ponte Vedra Bch .. the home of the PGA Tour and
Dick Meckley ..

I called my brother Shannon and cried .. Bruce was a part of history that I treasured ..
I was deeply moved by the many stories being written on the internet about this
legendary caddie ..

I plan to write later .. but this is my thought for today/every day [as I shared with Shannon] ..
I was reminded once again on Apr. 8th .. by the life and legacy of Bruce Edwards ..
Bruce Edwards was a servant .. He carried a golf bag with undieing loyalty for his friend ..

Unlike Bruce .. Many are chasing Fortune and Fame .. Material goals and games ..
How much will you leave ?? You will leave the same amount as Elvis .. He left it all ..
What will they write/say about you .. when you die ??

Bruce was the headlines all over the Internet .. ESPN .. TV .. PAPERS .. and he was
simply a man who was a servant .. to others .. and yet they can't stop writing about the
legend Bruce Edwards .. [ and the TIME he invested in others ] .. His Legacy ..

Bruce was a servant [He served those around him] ..Thus he became a Legend ..
One more time .. What will they write/say about you .. me .. when we die ??
Will they write or say anything at all ??

ps .. I'm certain Bruce Edwards joined Dick Meckley and they teed off last Thursday ..
at the Forever Fairway Golf Club .. where all the yardage is bought and paid for ..
You don't even need a green jacket to be a member and play ..
---
JIM NANTZ .. BOBBY CLAMPETT..
Meck Notes .. .. Another Wonderful job of announcing The Masters by CBS ..
Jim Nantz and Bobby Clampett .. You both are the best ..
Jim Nantz's elequant touch and insightful reverance makes a major impact on this viewer..

I will never forget how precisely and with great knowledge Bobby Clampett described
Ernie Els' several drop options on No. 11 Sat .. and how he could ask for more opinions ..
What was 4ever back on the tee .. was 15 minutes of lessons for the viewer..Thanks Bobby..

I felt like I was nestled in the nursery of trees watching that incredible Bogey ..
How important was that ruling and the Ernie 'nursery' drop and that bogey ??
Well .. There would have been a playoff .. if ..?? ..

You get the picture .. 2 fold .. It pays to be patient and know the rules like Ernie did ..
Plus .. ' IF ' all ands and buts were candy and nuts .. we'd all have a Merry Christmas ..

That 31 Mickelson shot on the back nine was Prime Time ..
but that downhill lip in .. had to be Divine .. [sure can't remember many .. if any at Augusta]

The Meck played Augusta in the early 80's .. on a Tuesday before the Masters started
on Monday .. It was immaculate .. I shot an 82 .. Six 3-putts [no room for comments on card]
A Blessed memory for sure .. I will always treasure that wonderful day ..

Also, the member I was playing with had a hole-in-one on yep .. you guessed it .. No. 16 ..
If I ever get the chance again .. I will practice my putting .. up on my roof-top ..
So I'll get a good feel for the speed of the greens ..
---
My favorite Augusta Memory ??
That gentleman who stood on the practice tee assisting players or under the tree by the
putting green .. wearing a Floppy Hat [sometimes with a Cleveland Golf logo] ..
Mr. Dick Meckley .. ' Lo Tech Meck ' .. He loved Augusta National .. It's easy to see why ..
They are both from the same OLD School .. Where Class is Never Dismissed ..

Opening Day .. about noon on Tues .. [probably stuck in traffic]

Opening Day .. about noon on Tues .. [probably stuck in traffic]
BOBBY COX .. headed to the yard [on the phone with The Meck] ..

Meck .. How does it feel pulling up to the stadium for another opening day ?

BC .. Opening Day is always one of the very special days of the season ..
All the energy starts flowing .. and the excitement .. It's always a sold out crowd ..
They'll have the anthems and the bands .. It's quite an extravaganza ..
It's fun .. The butterflies start flowing ..

Meck .. How many opening days is this for you ? It goes back to the
early 60's .. right buddy ?

BC .. Oh my .. I started .. My first year out was 1960 .. Yes .. So it's been 44 years ..

Meck .. Wow ..

BC .. Yes .. Quite a few .. They never change .. They are always the same .. Exciting ..
No matter if it's in the minor leagues or major leagues .. It's the same feeling ..

Meck .. Tell me about Russ Ortiz tonite .. An Incredible pitcher ..

BC .. Can't do any better than putting a 21 game winner out there ..
He's throwing the ball good .. He's the man ..

Meck .. How does it feel looking out there at your ole buddy ..
Your friend, you helped raise .. Tommy G ..

BC .. Well, Tommy Glavine .. We kinda got over that, seeing him in the other uniform
last year .. We saw him 3 or 4 times .. So, you know .. It's a little different this year ..
He's special .. He'll always be special in our hearts with the Braves organization ..
and when he goes to the Hall of Fame .. He'll have on that .. The big, big A on the hat ..

Meck .. Buddy, Thanks for your comments today .. on opening day ..
The Meck talking with Bobby Cox .. pulling up to the yard on this Tuesday .. [12:15]

BC .. Thanks Meck ..

Bobby Cox .. His contract - club option was picked up today for 2005 ..

BOBBY COX .. His contract - club option was picked up today for 2005 ..
One of the few good moves by the Braves organization in recent memory ..
Congrats to Bobby Cox .. I think ??

BOBBY COX .. Best Manager in The Game ..You deserve much more than you get ..
Pay .. Cox gets about 3 million less per year than Joe Torre's 5 .. ??
[ I feel like the only guy at the UN without a headset]

Credit .. Bobby gets none .. Deserves much .. only gets credit from the players
and those who know the game .. [ Front office seeks most of the credit ] ..
Bobby Cox gives everyone else the credit ..[ Most humble person I've ever met] ..

Blame .. He gets plenty of that .. Deserves little .. The Braves would have NEVER made
12 dances in a row [ a professional sports record] without BOBBY COX leading the music ..
He is the major reason for the Braves winning .. [ just ask those who've played for him ]
Though he gets most of the blame for the post-season ..
The truth is .. come post-season time you can't win the World Series with a 45 year old
1st baseman .. and the absence of a starter throwing 95 or 96 ..[ see Marlins]

If someone brings you to the dance .. and several out of 25 can't dance ..
Is it the man leading the music's fault or the man who signed up the talent to dance ??

As they say .. You dance with what got you there ..
That makes Bobby Cox even that much more The Legend ..

BOBBY COX reminds me a lot of Bear Bryant ..
He has the gift of Greatness .. 'The ability to make those around you feel Great ..'

That's why his players and coaches over achieve and win for him ..
Bobby Cox creates an environment for everyone to succeed ..
---
The Braves lost 396 RBI's [ Lopez, Sheffield, Castilla, and Fick] from 2003 ..
[That's almost 3 runs a game ] .. even by my math ..
In 2004 they have a chance .. with this lineup ? to win a 13th straight div. title ..
Only because of Bobby Cox and his leadership ..
a Meck Note .. It would have to rank up there with the Red Sea .. 4 sure ..

JIM SCHULTZ .. GLEN SERRA ..
The Season opens in Atlanta tomorrow without Jim Schultz and Glen Serra ..
They were fired 6 days before Christmas 2003 ..
Jim Schultz goes back to the days of Hank Aaron and the Home Run 30 years ago ..

A wonderful man who served so many in the media for many years and helped everyone
he met with tireless devotion to the Braves organization .. Jim is a poster man for PR
and a servant to all he met .. young and old .. A man who touched so many lives ..
Jim Schultz .. A Legend .. A BIG LOSS For the Braves organization and its fans ..

Jim treats everyone the same .. with Respect and like you are somebody ..
I am forever grateful for Jim's patience and guidance he gave me the past decade ..
My life and many others are better because we met Jim Schultz ..[and his wife Connie]
Thanks for your constant T I M E Jim ..You have Inspired me and Blessed my life..

Glen Serra .. worked with Jim since the mid 80's .. Media Relations for the Braves ..
He was always taking care of someone .. Many projects .. Many charities he helped ..
Glen helped Denny Neagle-wife Jennifer and The Meck raise 36,150 dollars for
Felicia Shotkoski and family ..[auction in Dothan, Al. Apr. 7, 1997] Thanks Bobby Cox
for all your help .. Chipper and Karin Jones and many wonderful people in Dothan]
[Dave Shotkoski was a Braves replacement pitcher murdered in 95 at spr. training] ..

Glen Serra always had T I M E for people .. It's no wonder that President Carter and
he became good friends .. Glen was instrumental in the commercial we shot together
' Come to Plains ' promoting Plains and the Braves ..[ with Pres. Carter and
Mr. Hospitality Walter Banks] .. [ camera Michael Epstein and Penny Smith-hostess]
Glen's little Brooklyn and wife Carolyn were walking off the train in our Plains commercial .

Glen was constantly TCB ing .. Taking Care of Business .. I do believe he had more
connections than the internet .. Always promoting the Braves Org. - Players and giving
a helping hand to others .. Glen Serra, and wife Carolyn are a Blessing to many ..
including The Meck ..

Closing Thoughts ..
Terence Moore, whom I've seen at the yard in Atlanta for many years summed it all up ..
Feb. 19, 2004 in his AJC column ..
" Just thought those who run the Braves ought to know. Apparently, they don't get it,
because they are in the midst of doing smoke-and-mirror things to get folks excited
again about their product.
They even did the ridiculous by firing Jim Schultz and Glen Serra, their highly respected
leaders of public relations for nearly two decades." .. Terence Moore ..

The Meck agrees and so do many .. inside and outside of the Braves organization ..
Like a friend once said .." I can explain it to you .. But I can't understand it for you .."

Glen Serra and Jim Schultz are missed by many .. Braves fans and many fans of their own ..Their Passion [for their work] and Compassion [for others] .. will never be replaced ..
