www.TheMeck.com Posted 2:13a ct. Show Time: 27 Mins.
Meck Notes:
An interview with my friend Bob Nightengale - USA Today Baseball Writer.
Bob talks about the winter meetings in Orlando and the free agent spending for players who are not big-names.
' Big-Time Money for being mediocre free agents. Lot of GM's never seen anything like it.'
--
Meck ask Bob about the Braves letting Marcus Giles go and what's going to happen to Tim Hudson?
Everybody seems to have money except the Braves.
Why is it they are always in a crunch while everyone else has monopoly money for average players ??
' It doesn't make sense. Every club is making a killing these days.'
Bob talks about even Tampa Bay making $30 million and Minnesota's $70 million payroll.
[comparing it to the Braves $80 mil payroll.]
Plus Oakland having money to spend on Piazza - 8 Million.]
--
Doesn't Schuerholz's [ the GM] stance re not giving Players a no-trade clause hurt the Braves .. ?
Meck note: The word was John Schuerholz was planning on retiring about 4 years ago.
Turner was bought by Time Warner .. the stock fell from the mid 50's to the teens.
[ hurting everyone's retirement]
Is Schuerholz hanging on and riding his tenure into the sunset [with his non-aggressive approach] ?
Can you believe the Braves didn't even make Tom Glavine an offer ?
--
' 80 million was a nice payroll 3 or 4 years ago. Today .. it's middle of the pack or lower.'
'The Mets Payroll is 120 million. The 1st time ever the Braves payroll is 40 million less.' - Bob Nightengale
--
What have you heard about Javy Lopez and his future ?
'Piazza just signed for 8.5 million. I can't believe that Javy is worth that much less than Piazza.'
Tell us about the Japanese player [ Matsuzaka] and the negotiations with the Red Sox
[ 100 million.]
Where will Barry Zito end up ??
Rocket - Man Roger Clemens .. ?
Bob shares with us his Hall of Fame Ballot .. Tony Gwynn .. Cal Ripken .. ?

T I M E spells L O V E
Written by Eddie Carswell and Michael O'Brien
Father's Day, Mother's Day, EVERY Day...
Listen - www.TheMeck.com
T I M E spells L O V E
Throw me the ball Daddy
I've been waiting all day
I'm so glad you're home and we got some time
So Let's go out and play
Just me and you
It's my favorite thing to do
Daddy I'm tellin' the truth
Chorus
T I M E time
Spells L O V E love
And Love is the one thing
This world needs more of
The choice is up to you
So what will you do
With your T I M E Time
and your L O V E love
I'll never forget you Daddy
You taught me the game so well
It's taken me places I never dreamed
So many stories to tell
How the time has come and gone
And now I have a son of my own
And I'm making sure your memory lives on
Bridge
I've heard it said a time or two
This game of life can take from you
But I found out love isn't really love
Till you give it away

Moving Files and Uploading.
Also .. How he puts the shows together on his computer and gets them ready

T I M E spells L O V E
Written by Eddie Carswell and Michael O'Brien
Father's Day, Mother's Day, EVERY Day...
Listen @ www.TheMeck.com
T I M E spells L O V E
Throw me the ball Daddy
I've been waiting all day
I'm so glad you're home and we got some time
So Let's go out and play
Just me and you
It's my favorite thing to do
Daddy I'm tellin' the truth
Chorus
T I M E time
Spells L O V E love
And Love is the one thing
This world needs more of
The choice is up to you
So what will you do
With your T I M E Time
and your L O V E love
I'll never forget you Daddy
You taught me the game so well
It's taken me places I never dreamed
So many stories to tell
How the time has come and gone
And now I have a son of my own
And I'm making sure your memory lives on
Bridge
I've heard it said a time or two
This game of life can take from you
But I found out love isn't really love
Till you give it away

Meck's Reply to Boston Herald column re Javy Lopez and Red Sox
Posted - Aug 5, 2006 - 9:05p
www.TheMeck.com - THE MECK REPORT
----- Original Message -----
From: The Meck
To: sbuckley@bostonherald.com
Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 5:01 PM
Subject: Fw: BostonHerald.com - Herald Sports Columnists: Lopez forced to learn on the job in debut .. Aug 5, 2006 - 1:12a .. Steve Buckley
Excerpt from Steve Buckley Column
--
After Lopez held his media session yesterday afternoon and walked down a hallway for a meeting with his new pitchers, I posed that very question to him: Could there be a scenario by which Varitek signals pitch selections to Lopez from the dugout?
“I really doubt it,” Lopez said.
Again, one has to admire the man’s confidence. Yet the question lingers: If the down-for-the-count, going-nowhere-fast, fourth-place-forever Baltimore Orioles decided they couldn’t afford to put Javy Lopez behind the plate, what does that say about the postseason-mandated Red Sox?
---
Steve .. It says what most baseball fans and writers know and have known for many years.
The Orioles are losers on the field guided by the most dysfunctional front office in baseball.
The Red Sox are winners on the field working with a bright, aggressive front office.
All on the same page together led by Theo .. the best GM in the game.
You should know that Javy Lopez has a stellar resume at age 35.
- Javy was the Braves starting catcher for 9 straight years 1995 - 2003.
All Division Titles.
No catcher in ML History has ever accomplished that feat.
- A World Series title in 1995.
- Javy was the NLCS MVP in 1996 .. [ batting .542 with 6 RBI ]
- Javy Lopez - A Total of 60 Post-season games
7 Lg Division series
6 Lg Championship series
2 World Series
Total of 15 Postseason Series
278 batting avg. [in 60 games ] 205 AB - 10 Postseason HR's
--
- 3 Time All-Star
- Battery Mate of 3 Cy Young Winners.
Javy caught Glavine's Cy Young winning season of 1998 [ 20 - 6]
and Smoltz's Cy Young Season of 1996 - 24 wins.
Plus Maddux's Cy Year of 1995 [ 19 wins]
That's 3 Cy Young Winners Javy has caught in his career.
- FOUR 20 Game Winners
Javy has been the battery mate of Four 20 game winners.
Smoltz in 1996
Denny Neagle in 1997
Glavine in 1998 and 2000
- In 2003, Javy hit 43 HR's .. [42 as a catcher ]
Setting the ML Record for HR's in a single season by a catcher.
-
Steve .. Can you name a catcher [in the last 10 years]
who's caught more 20 game winners [ 4] and Cy Young winners [3] than Javy Lopez ??
Javy is second only to Jorge Posada in Post-season games caught [ last 10 years]
Posada with 88 .. Javy with 60. Varitek with 39.
Post-season Batting avgs? Javy is batting .278. Varitek is batting .254. Posada at .222
The career stats and record achievement speak LOUDER than anyone.
The Red Sox know, the fans know, and I can assure you Varitek knows ..
and you should also, Steve.
You should answer your question you posed to your readers with a follow up column ..
and let them know .. you know the real Javy Lopez.
Steve .. Do your readers a big favor and give them the facts.
I guarantee you .. Javy will be a big favorite with the players and the fans.
Just watch.

LANDON MEETS BOBBY COX .. ALSO A STUDIO VISIT WITH ERNIE JOHNSON JR.

LANDON MEETS BOBBY COX .. ALSO A STUDIO VISIT WITH ERNIE JOHNSON JR.
--
Meck Notes ..
Bobby Cox - The Great Encourager and BEST Mgr. in the game.
His people and leadership skills are off the charts .. maybe only equaled by Coach Bear Bryant.
Bobby Cox knows the game .. but knowing people is his Number 1 attribute.
Bobby Cox has always treated me with respect and always made me feel welcome.
He's a great listener .. and I believe he could even encourage me to hit 300 ..
even though I can only play my radio.
If you're down .. There's no better friend to talk with than Bobby Cox. He's a real blessing.
Often I've said to Bobby .. If I ever go to the electric chair .. I want to have my last meal with you.
At least I'll have a smile on my face and feel good about it.

Flashback to 1974 my senior year at Dothan High School.
Our Quarterback was Number 9 - Phillip Brazell .. He could flat play.
What an Incredible arm. The same can be said of his son Landon.
Incredible arm and can run like the wind. [He can still throw a football 75 yards in the air.]
A great Quarterback/Athlete at DHS just like his Dad.
Landon pitched for Alabama and Troy.
He signed with the Marlins, summer of 2005 and pitched for Mike Mordecai
in Jamestown, New York and late 2005 for the Greensboro Grasshoppers.
I interviewed him at the Homerun Derby [in Dothan] Feb. 2006 with his mom, Susan.
The Marlins released him in late March 2006.
His mother called me .. A wonderful mom.
I thought a lot of Landon's Dad - Phillip .. now in heaven.
I wanted to reach out and help.
He was going to 'get a job' like most people were telling him.
But I told Landon .. " You've got a job .. You're a baseball pitcher.
Plus ..You have a mother who backs your dream 1000 percent."
"They're going to have a hard time drafting you from the real estate league.
Take the Independent League offers and don't give up. Make your Dad proud.
Follow your dream Landon .. unlike most people."
--
[ First week of April - 2006]
I called Mgr. Bobby Cox in Los Angeles .. told him about Landon and what a great young man he is.
Plus I shared with Bobby what Mike Mordecai said .."Meck .. Landon can pitch in the Big Leagues."
I asked my friend and Braves skipper to talk with Landon's teammate
[at Bama] Braves Pitcher Lance Cormier.
Bobby did that and much more. What a wonderful man to reach out and give hope to a longtime dream.
--
Turner Field - Apr. 29, 2006 - 5:45p [Photos www.TheMeck.com ]
Bobby Cox visited with my friend .. pitcher Landon Brazell.
Bobby spent 10 mins. visiting and encouraging Landon who continues
to follow his dream [starts with the Evansville Otters/ Independent League on May 9th.]
[I sent Bobby the Edwin Stanton/Dothan Eagle article on Landon - Apr. 27]
We also visited with Landon's good friend and teammate [at Bama] Braves Pitcher Lance Cormier.
Plus Braves Pitcher Kenny Ray, who made it to the Majors from the Independent League.
No Doubt .. Lance really thinks the world of Landon Brazell .. his friend and fellow pitcher.
Landon's mother Susan, his biggest fan, was also hanging out with us.
Of Note .. Lance asked Landon .. ' Which player would you like to talk with?'
Without hesitation, Landon said ' Kenny Ray. '
Kenny shared with Landon .. ' Never Give Up. The Independent League is a
good League to be in. Hang in there and follow your dream.'
Kenny Ray should know .. He is the Poster Man for following your dream.
--
excerpt on Kenny Ray from ajc.com/David O'Brien - Apr. 12, 2006]
An Atlanta native who pitched one season at Roswell High School he was the 497th player selected in the 1993 draft (by Kansas City) and bounced through 15 teams in 13 leagues, ranging from the Gulf Coast Rookie League to the Mexican Winter League to something called the CanAm (Canadian-American) independent league.
Along the way, there was a cameo in the American League — Ray had an 8.74 ERA in 13 games for the Kansas City Royals in 1999, when hitters went 23-for-50 (.460) against him with six walks and no strikeouts.
That was before he had two shoulder surgeries (the first one "didn't take") and missed most of three seasons (2000-02). His wife, Randi, and the shoulder woes might have been the best help to his career.
Randi, an accountant in Peoria, Ariz., where the Rays make their home, always offered assurance as he continued his dogged pursuit of a pitching career — even when he earned less than $2,000 a month in the minors and the couple had to budget to feed their baby and pay the mortgage.
"I wouldn't be here without her," he said.
Meanwhile, his long recovery from shoulder surgery forced him to improve his change-up to compensate for the lost velocity. He honed the pitch, and his fastball has since returned to his pre-surgery 92-94 mph range.
It's a combination that could make Ray a viable closer candidate.
--excerpt on Kenny Ray from ajc.com/David O'Brien - Apr. 12, 2006]
I introduced Landon to the legend Walter Banks .. The most powerful man in Atlanta.
Walter has achieved everlasting fame and fortune simply because he serves people.
Walter Banks .. 40 years reaching out and helping others.
My longtime friend Rodney Stone sat with us.
We went down [outside the locker room] after the game with Lance Cormier's wife .. Jamie.
She is a sweetheart 4 sure. [Rodney entertained everyone.] Great to see Skip Caray.
Pam Cox and daughter Skyla gave me a hug. Wonderful family.
They are definitely partial to Number 6. He walked out and said hello and goodnite.
A long drive to their farm - 1 hr. and 20 mins - one way.
Then Lance and Jamie invited us to The Varsity.
It was packed and so was I when I departed for The W.
I was ready to point my toes toward heaven.
Sunday .. We went back to the yard .. had Sunday School with Walter Banks.
Bobby left us seats behind the dish. He's Always TCBing.
What a wonderful and blessed weekend.

Apr. 29, 2006 - 3:30p. - TNT NBA Studio. [Before Sat. nite baseball game]
My friend Rodney Stone said earlier that week .. "Meck .. I'd love to meet Ernie Johnson."
So I called Ernie and he said ..' Come on by .. Be at the gate at 3:30.
Our Halftime show starts at 4p.'
It was a privelege to visit on the TNT Set with Ernie Johnson Jr. ..
A wonderful man who I was blessed to work the PGA Championship
with along with Bobby Clampett. [Plus the NFL on TNT with Ernie in 95.]
Rodney Stone - Producer of The Pistol Movie also visited with EJ.
Ernie was so gracious to promote the movie and even engage Charles re Pistol Pete.
They even showed a live shot of us on TV - Help me Rhonda.
I really enjoyed meeting Charles Barkley.
Ernie said to Charles .. ' See the guy in the hat .. That's my friend from Alabama.' [Dothan]
Charles said .. ' Get over here .. I want to meet the guy from Alabama.'
Charles was very gracious and so was Kenny. No doubt .. They respect and love EJ.
They are an awesome team.
Thanks Brie 4 your kindness. You are a great hostess.
Thanks for taking care of The Meck, Rodney Stone,
Christopher and Jenn Rowe and Darrel Campbell.
It was nice meeting Drew Watkins .. Donald's son.
He creates/writes teases for the NBA show on TNT.
After the Halftime show .. We were leaving the building [ felt like Elvis] ..
We had been treated like royalty.Thanks to Ernie.
He took the time and came outside [his microphone still on his tie] and said goodbye.
Thanks Ernie for taking T I M E to include us in your life and busy schedule.
You are a real blessing. Thanks for your kindness thru the years.
Ernie Johnson Jr. has been a blessing to so many across the nation.
Please pray for Ernie as he battles cancer.
Thanks for remembering him and his family.

Along the way, there was a cameo in the American League — Ray had an 8.74 ERA in 13 games for the Kansas City Royals in 1999, when hitters went 23-for-50 (.460) against him with six walks and no strikeouts.
That was before he had two shoulder surgeries (the first one "didn't take") and missed most of three seasons (2000-02). His wife, Randi, and the shoulder woes might have been the best help to his career.
Randi, an accountant in Peoria, Ariz., where the Rays make their home, always offered assurance as he continued his dogged pursuit of a pitching career — even when he earned less than $2,000 a month in the minors and the couple had to budget to feed their baby and pay the mortgage.
"I wouldn't be here without her," he said.
Meanwhile, his long recovery from shoulder surgery forced him to improve his change-up to compensate for the lost velocity. He honed the pitch, and his fastball has since returned to his pre-surgery 92-94 mph range.
It's a combination that could make Ray a viable closer candidate.
--excerpt on Kenny Ray from ajc.com/David O'Brien - Apr. 12, 2006]
I introduced Landon to the legend Walter Banks .. The most powerful man in Atlanta.
Walter has achieved everlasting fame and fortune simply because he serves people.
Walter Banks .. 40 years reaching out and helping others.
My longtime friend Rodney Stone sat with us.
We went down [outside the locker room] after the game with Lance Cormier's wife .. Jamie.
She is a sweetheart 4 sure. [Rodney entertained everyone.] Great to see Skip Caray.
Pam Cox and daughter Skyla gave me a hug. Wonderful family.
They are definitely partial to Number 6. He walked out and said hello and goodnite.
A long drive to their farm - 1 hr. and 20 mins - one way.
Then Lance and Jamie invited us to The Varsity.
It was packed and so was I when I departed for The W.
I was ready to point my toes toward heaven.
Sunday .. We went back to the yard .. had Sunday School with Walter Banks.
Bobby left us seats behind the dish. He's Always TCBing.
What a wonderful and blessed weekend.

Apr. 29, 2006 - 3:30p. - TNT NBA Studio. [Before Sat. nite baseball game]
My friend Rodney Stone said earlier that week .. "Meck .. I'd love to meet Ernie Johnson."
So I called Ernie and he said ..' Come on by .. Be at the gate at 3:30.
Our Halftime show starts at 4p.'
It was a privelege to visit on the TNT Set with Ernie Johnson Jr. ..
A wonderful man who I was blessed to work the PGA Championship
with along with Bobby Clampett. [Plus the NFL on TNT with Ernie in 95.]
Rodney Stone - Producer of The Pistol Movie also visited with EJ.
Ernie was so gracious to promote the movie and even engage Charles re Pistol Pete.
They even showed a live shot of us on TV - Help me Rhonda.
I really enjoyed meeting Charles Barkley.
Ernie said to Charles .. ' See the guy in the hat .. That's my friend from Alabama.' [Dothan]
Charles said .. ' Get over here .. I want to meet the guy from Alabama.'
Charles was very gracious and so was Kenny. No doubt .. They respect and love EJ.
They are an awesome team.
Thanks Brie 4 your kindness. You are a great hostess.
Thanks for taking care of The Meck, Rodney Stone,
Christopher and Jenn Rowe and Darrel Campbell.
It was nice meeting Drew Watkins .. Donald's son.
He creates/writes teases for the NBA show on TNT.
After the Halftime show .. We were leaving the building [ felt like Elvis] ..
We had been treated like royalty.Thanks to Ernie.
He took the time and came outside [his microphone still on his tie] and said goodbye.
Thanks Ernie for taking T I M E to include us in your life and busy schedule.
You are a real blessing. Thanks for your kindness thru the years.
Ernie Johnson Jr. has been a blessing to so many across the nation.
Please pray for Ernie as he battles cancer.
Thanks for remembering him and his family.

info/stats on Pistol Pete Maravich
http://www.pistolmovie.com/pistol.html
“College Basketball’s Greatest Scorer 35 Years Running”
Pistol Pete had an undeniable impact on basketball and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987. Thirty-five years ago, he crushed the all-time NCAA scoring record and set many other records that may never be broken:
• Most points in college career (3,667)
• Most field goals made (1,387) and attempted (3,166)
• Highest points per game average (44.2)
• Most games scoring at least 50 points (83)
• Most free throws made (893) and attempted (1,152)
• Most points in a single season (1,381)
• Highest per-game average in a single year (44.5 ppg)
• Most free throws made in a single game (30 of 31)

Producers Darrel Campbell and Rodney Stone, friends of Pistol Pete Maravich, wanted to immortalize the Pistol by turning his unique story into a motion picture. When The Pistol was first released world-wide, movie-goers were treated to a fun, family-friendly, live-action true story that appealed to young and old alike. The film's depiction of the turbulent high-school years of NBA legend "Pistol" Pete Maravich was warmly received in its initial theatrical release, overseas and later on home video.
The digitally remastered DVD is now offered as the Rebound Edition which includes ‘The Pistol - Behind The Birth of a Legend’, rare footage featuring Pistol Pete’s exploits as a college basketball star and national sports hero along with movie bloopers, sports records gallery and much more.
--
The Pistol is the true story of ‘Pistol’ Pete Maravich (Adam Guier), a scrawny five-foot-two eighth grader. Pete Maravich had a dream he inherited from his father, Press Maravich (Nick Benedict). He believed that if he committed himself totally to his dream, that he would one day play professional basketball and win a championship ring.
He begins this quest as a child in 1959 and quickly learns all the odds are against him. As the smallest, slowest and youngest member of the team, he gets his big break when a key player is injured. Pete bucks tradition with his freewheeling style of play, passing behind his back and dribbling through his legs.
Including Academy Award® nominee Millie Perkins as Pete’s mother Helen, ‘The Pistol’ reveals the heart of an American sports legend. It gives the viewer a rare glimpse of one of the most unique father-son relationships in the history of sports.
Darrel Campbell and Rodney Stone with Amazing Media and VCI Entertainment now offer this unique and heartwarming film to the public on DVD. Complete with a new High Definition transfer from the original negative, an all-new surround sound mix and many special features, this is the movie you've been waiting to add to your home video collection.
The Pistol - Birth of a Legend is a motion picture that many have called their very favorite feature of all time.

Here’s What Others Are Saying:
“His playground moves, circus shots, and hotdog passes were considered outrageous during his era...but Maravich produced huge numbers, first as the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history and later as a potent force for both the Atlanta Hawks and the New Orleans Jazz.”

“Movie carries a ‘G’ rating; G as in great!”

MECK NOTES: Birthday, Friend, Baseball, Investigation.
I used to think 50 was old .. until last month. Help Me Rhonda.
It’s downhill from here .. I’ve got my geritol and AARP card.
Many say ‘ It’s just a number ‘ .. No doubt – A BIG one indeed.
The Steenslands and Parkmans gave me a wonderful party at the Country Club w/ Big Jim Kearce, the Bowens, the Dews, and Marianne and Mike Gannon.Great fellowship and gifts. Tall Paul – The legend, brought my Bday cake out. My dear friend, Kayla Jo Fox, gave me some beautiful gifts.
I visited my Mother’s grave to pay tribute to her. Eunice Meckley. 16 years ago, she died of a skull fracture on our back patio – just before my Bday dinner. Her sudden, brutal death changed me forever. Her wonderful legacy and precious name she left me continues to inspire me. Tip of the year for kids and everyone .. MAKE SURE You tell those you love .. That you love them .. Today. Tomorrow is only a dream.
FRIEND
Thanks to my friend, Jennifer, on the left coast, who has revamped my website and worked so hard to get The Meck in Real Time. Thanks to her for Encouraging me and Believing in me. Now I can post when I want to and work my passion – WRITING. The bloodline to everything I’ve ever done – Speaking, radio, TV, videos, commercials. Keep logging on .. and Connect with The Meck .
KIWANIS
I really enjoyed my visit to the Dothan Kiwanis Club and my Time speaking on Tuesday. There was a great spirit of fellowship and serving others. I trust I inspired them with my T I M E talk .. I know they blessed me as they reach out to help children and give their
T I M E.
BASEBALL
Can you believe the Braves let Rafael Furcal leave ?? It was great to read the comments by Raffy .. How he considered Bobby Cox ‘a father figure.’ No doubt .. Bobby Cox has reached out to Raffy .. as he has to so many. It was refreshing to hear agent Paul Kinzer talk of their respect and admiration for Mr. Class – Bobby Cox.
GM John Schuerholz whined in the AJC about Raffy’s agent not getting back with him. They obviously deemed Schuerholz as insincere and moved on to genuine offers. Raffy said they had years to make him an offer. That is so true. Translated .. Schuerholz made Raffy feel wanted .. just like he did Glavine, Millwood and Javy Lopez.
Just like a friend said to me ..’ Schuerholz could have offered Furcal, 3 years for 24 million [at the All-Star break] and he would have signed immediately.’ Very true. Several Braves legends have left for the same reasons.
Is it time for Schuerholz to leave ?
Is he a part of the answer .. or is he a part of the problem ?
Does it appear to you .. as it does to me ..Schuerholz wants all the credit and takes no blame. Bobby Cox, the best manager in the game, desires no credit and gets very little .. yet he gets a lot of the blame.
Paul Kinzer, by the way, is an up-front good guy in my dealings with him. I respect Paul and believe him. He came to Dothan in 1996 with Javy Lopez. 5 thousand showed up.
CHIEF WHITE
Just like The Meck shared with you .. The so-called Investigation of Chief White and The Dothan PD was a FRAUD fueled by Chester Sowell .. USING Mike Tew and Sally Buchanan and Jim Smith.
Mike West, City Mgr. found nothing .. because there was nothing. The FBI found nothing after Chief White called them to investigate himself and these MALICIOUS LIES.
Chief White's good name was defamed .. How much will Chester’s Revenge cost the city ??
Mayor Thomas and the commission should pay the legal bills of the 4 Dothan PD employees who had to defend themselves against an illegal investigation paid for by the city, their employer. AND the City should offer a settlement to Chief White very soon. How much is a good name worth ??
The City should ask Chester ‘The Wrecker’ Sowell .. MIKE ‘ Clear The Innocent and Charge The Guilty ‘ TEW and SALLY ‘ I got Chief White ‘ BUCHANAN - who filed a false report .. to fund these settlements.
Coming soon .. Update on a real investigation .. The People deserve to know about. [Especially the senior citizens of the Wiregrass. ] Be careful what you ask for .. The Guilty were charged.
Coming Soon .. Did Jesus say “ Go Tell “.. Or Build It and They Will Come ..? I believe that was from the Field Of Dreams ..
Church/RELIGION has become BIG BUSINESS IN DOTHAN. 28 MILLION DOLLARS .. Spent on Church Buildings .. 3 Churches [about a mile a part].
This Just In .. The Braves just got SS Edgar Renteria in a trade with the Red Sox. The Braves gave up top prospect, Andy Marte.
Renteria will make 29 mil over the next 3 years .. Sox are sending cash to help out .. [cash strapped/tight Time Warner .. ahem]

I can't speak 4 him ..[ but I will anyway] .. We are both still waiting 4 the shipment.
--
There's no one .. Including The Meck .. who loves Dothan anymore than Pat.
All of Dothan .. Not just one area .. Pat went to Young Jr... I went to Girard Jr.
We got to be good friends at Dothan High .. Class of 74.
Often .. We would listen to Elton John and try to find ' The Yellow Brick Road ..'
That Unforgettable Tune .. ' Sweet Painted Lady.'
Pat got a scholarship to Bama .. as a Football Manager.
He served as Sr. Manager for Coach Bryant .. spending valuable time
learning from The Greatest Coach of All Time.
No doubt .. Pat learned a lot about leadership from a Legendary Leader.
Plus .. It speaks volumes about Pat .. that he was entrusted by Coach Bryant.

MAYOR PAT THOMAS .. THE UNITER
You can feel the breeze .. The winds of change.
The oxygen is coming back to our hometown.
Hope is in the air .. Class is finally back in session .. in the mayor's office.
Mayor Pat Thomas .. Brings The much needed ' Winds of Change.'
1. A mayor who can complete a sentence without .. 15 uh .. uhs ..
2. A mayor who brings honor and dignity back to the office. [after an 8 year absence].
3. A mayor who doesn't need the job .. He serves because he loves Dothan. Period.
4. A mayor who has a class wife, Cindy .. who doesn't embarass the city of Dothan.
5. A mayor who doesn't use his church and the cross to further a Political agenda.
6. A mayor who would never seek revenge on the Dothan PD and it's Police Chief ..
If a family member or friend of his was investigated or arrested.
7. A mayor who would never travel to Montgomery [ or anywhere] and testify in Federal Court
against The FBI and against the Dothan Police Dept.[and be proud of it.]
8. A mayor who doesn't walk by the umpire while coaching his son's game ..
trying to intiminate the ump telling him .. ' Remember who you work for.'
9. A mayor who doesn't ask the scorekeeper to ' add a run ' to the other teams score.
So they can keep playing the blowout game and his child's team
can get some ' batting practice.'
10. A mayor who is color blind .. and would never use the black community as a toy ..
Playing them as fools like Chester Removed.
11. A mayor who doesn't orchestrate an illegal investigation against The Dothan PD ..
[that never ends]
Misusing over 120 thousand dollars of The People's money ..
Funding His Personal Revenge.
12. A Mayor who doesn't orchestrate a malicious and vicious attack against the Dothan
Police Chief and Captains .. falsely smearing them as racists and other false allegations.
Shaming and Defaming Their GOOD NAME.
13. A Mayor who works with the School Supt. making our schools better for Dothan ..
not a mayor with an on-going vendetta vs. the Supt. that divides the school board.
14. A mayor who makes you proud of the mayor's office .. just like Mayor Alfred Saliba ..
not one who would USE and ABUSE his office with vindictive vendettas.
15. A man who wants the best 4 Dothan .. Not his Personal Agenda and Malcontent friends.
Pat will work with ALL The People .. and Listen.
That Breeze .. ' The winds of change ' .. Gives our City Hope.
JUST IN ..
Our Hometown .. Dothan has been taken off the respirator.
Moved out of Intensive Care at 8 pm .. Tues .. July 12, 2005.
Don't call Robert Byrd.
It feels like Oral Roberts just flew over our hometown.

Final Thoughts .. A reader of The Meck Report told me last week ..
John Christy was endorsing Chester in a TV Commercial.
I never had the " privelege "of seeing that masterpiece.
But .. If it did air .. That was definitely "The Kiss Of Death" For Chester ..
John Pharisee Christy endorsing his Pharisee brother .. Chester The Wrecker.
[ Now Chester Removed]
Flashback: Several years ago ..
John Christy walked into Pat Thomas' city commis. office and left one of his books
on Pat's desk. [Pat wasn't there and The book wasn't asked for ..]
It was simply John Christy " Legislating Morality " as he so rudely does thru the years.
As the story goes .. Pat got a call that the commode upstairs started leaking ..
fell thru the ceiling and landed on .. [ you guessed it] .. John Christy's book.
No Doubt .. Fate has a sense of smell and humor .. and can even Flush a Pharisee.
Even Chester .. July 12, 2005 .. Chester Removed .. Smoked Like a Fajita.

PAT THOMAS .. MAYOR .. Many times I've called him that thru the years.
I drove over to his house tonite ..[about 7:45] .. Many of his supporters were gathered.
I walked in the back door .. Cameras were flashing ..
A Breeze was blowing thru the room .. A Peace .. A Joy ..
You could feel 8 years of Oppression blowing away.
I gave Pat a hug .. He whispered an update to me.
It was over .. The Fat Lady and The Meck felt like " Spiking a Hymnal."
Pat was relieved and very grateful .. He seemed really touched that he had won.
It was never Political to Pat .. I know it is always Personal to him.
It was the best seeing Chief White and his Main Squeeze Barbara.[ My ole classmate]
It was a Festive scene .. A Picture .. I will always remember.
Fate had no doubt come knocking and the door Blew Open ..
Chester Removed .. Nobody was heard weeping.
It was awesome seeing Mr. Ralph Smith .. Miss Carolyn .. and Mark Smith.
Lewis-Smith Supply ..
A legendary Dothan company that loves Dothan and reaches out to it's Hometown.

Top 10 Reasons to Remove Chester
--
posted .. http://www.themeck.com
THE MECK REPORT .. July 10, 2005 .. 11pm.
"The only thing in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead animals."
[More Scoop Than Baskin Robbins] [More Up-To-Date Than Yesterday's Newspaper.]
TOP 10 REASONS TO REMOVE CHESTER
1. Chester's HATRED For The DOTHAN POLICE DEPT. [ For the last 8 years]
and Planned retaliation against our Police Dept. [ Billboards opposing him.]
2. CHESTER'S RACIST VIEWS that continue to DIVIDE our Hometown.
Like his Instructions to City Manager Rubin ..
TO BRING ANY RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY CLERK VACANCY HE WANTED TO .. EXCEPT FOR THE BLACK WOMAN .. EVA MATTHEWS.
3. His USE and ABUSE of The Church .. To Further His Political Agenda ..
Chester's Hides Behind The Cross .. Selling and Mocking The Precious Name of Jesus ..
Using Ridgecrest Church as a Meal Ticket For VOTES To Destroy Lives.
Ridgecrest calls him a deacon .. Chester calls himself a "Conservative Christian."
JESUS calls Chester a " SNAKE " .. A PHARISEE.
4. His THUG Mentality has ENGULFED The Mayor's Office ..
5. His Constant Interference with The City Mgr. and Breaking Alabama Law.
6. To Eliminate the influence of his small circle of Malcontents and Thug Friends.
" Conservative Christian " Chester's Best Friend and Campaign manager Tim Smith
walked up to Chief White at a funeral and called him .. " A Cocksucker."
7. To Eliminate His Constant Fueling of Discord among Public Officials.
8. Chester HATES The Dothan School Supt.- Leon Hobbs .. His on-going vendetta with
Dr. Hobbs goes back to a Chester city trip [out of the US ] .. Chester's wife, Pam,
wanted to join Chester on this trip so she requested ' Professional Leave' ..
[ Which means you still get paid .. But .. it's not deemed vacation time.]
Her principal refused her request for ' Professional Leave'.
Chester and Pam took their request/demand to School Supt. - Dr. Hobbs ..
and he backed his principal's decision.
THAT'S THE RUB WITH THE SCHOOL SUPT. AND CHESTER VENDETTA.
9. Because His support of the City School Systems is DIRECTLY RELATED
to the benefit of his wife's employment ..
[ Explained .. The only thing he'd vote for .. If it benefits Pam.]
10. Because ' Mayor ' to Chester is $42,000 a year .. A Free Car and Gas ..
and All the Free Golf He Can Play.
MECK'S TOP 10 BONUS ..
People will NO LONGER have to be CUSSED-OUT by Pam Sowell ..
Ms. Mayor - Pam Sowell .. who no doubt wears the pants in the family.
Note TO ALL who have been Ripped by Pam ..
A Re-Union of Pam's Victims will be held soon ..
Meeting originally scheduled for Rip Hewes Stadium ..
Now being Moved to the SUPERDOME in New Orleans to accomodate the crowds.
Extra chairs will be brought in.

" IF THE POLICE CAN'T TRUST THE MAYOR .. WHO CAN .. ? "
One of our readers ..
A Sr. Citizen replied to us about The Anti-Chester Police Billboards.
" IF THE POLICE CAN'T TRUST THE MAYOR .. WHO CAN .. ? ".. She said.
Her question says it all. That's The Burning Issue For The People.
90 percent of The People support their Police Dept. and Law and Order.
How can anyone support a mayor who has an 8 year Vindictive Vendettta
against The Dothan PD and FBI ?..
Chester Tried to Remove a Police Chief for Enforcing Laws that Chester doesn't agree with.
Why ? .. For Interviewing His Dad " Chet " Sowell ..[ FBI Investigation 1998-99]
Who Told The FBI when they knocked on his door. " Go To Hell ."
That's exactly what his son Chester The Wrecker has told The Dothan PD and
Chief White for 8 years of Chester's Revenge ..
USING and ABUSING The Mayor's Office and THE PEOPLE of Dothan. [Thug Mentality].
Chester Even Sells and Mocks The Name of Jesus .. for Votes.
How can any pastor .. even your pastor or your church support Chester ..?
He is a Pharisee .. a " Snake." A Fake .. Warn your pastor and church members.
One more reply from our email list.
" Why is Chester opposed to Sunday alcohol sales ? ..
Was Chester arrested for his DUI on a Sunday ?" the reader asked.
Chester ' publicly opposes ' Sunday alcohol sales to Dupe the pastors ..
Using Them .. Playing them and their Church members as Fools.

"The only thing in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead animals .."
[More Scoop Than Baskin Robbins] [More up-to-date than yesterday's newspaper].
Chester's RACIST STUPIDITY Will Wind Up Costing The City A Fortune.
The Meck has learned .. Mayor Chester Sowell Instructed former City Manager Dennis Rubin ..
TO BRING ANY RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY CLERK VACANCY HE WANTED TO .. EXCEPT FOR THE BLACK WOMAN .. EVA MATTHEWS.
[This occurred just prior to Pam McCoy's appointment to City Clerk in Jan. 2003.]
--
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found the City of Dothan discriminated
against Eva Matthews .. based on her race when they didn't hire her for the city clerk's position.
Eva Matthews now has a pending Discrimination Lawsuit against the
City of Dothan in Federal Court.
How Ignorant can a Public Official be .. ? To Instruct a Gov't Administrator
to not recommend someone based on race.
The revelation that Chester instructed former CM Dennis Rubin to discriminate against Eva Matthews based on her skin color confirms his racist views and the EEOC's Discrimination Ruling ..
Thus Shining a Bright Light on The Darkness of this mayor's office.
This racist stupidity will likely cost The People of Dothan a Fortune.
The mayor's professed support of the black community is Smoke, Mirrors, and Eye-Wash.
Just like The Meck has said before .. Chester The Wrecker is a Divider .. Not a Uniter.
How can anyone in our Hometown support .. muchless re-elect a mayor who
makes decisions based on the color of one's skin .. ??

Is a Billboard with Chester's DUI Mugshot Next ?

THE MECK REPORT .. June 10, 2005 .. 3pm
"The only thing in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead animals .."
[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.

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

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 ..

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 .. ?

Read these questions carefully .. No doubt, You'll know the answer .. RemoveChester.
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, On what date and along with whom did you meet with Jim Smith and what were Smith’s allegations against Chief White and others?
Mayor Chester Sowell, What did Jim Smith say to you regarding a request of immunity from prosecution from federal investigators?
Mayor Chester Sowell, How soon after your meeting with Jim Smith did you instruct your secretary Ms. Hughes to send you the pager message on February 02, 2004, that two retired captains would like to meet with you regarding John White and the Dothan Police Department?
Mayor Chester Sowell, Did you instruct your secretary to send the page to you on February 04, 2004, that a group of retired police officers would like to speak with you?
Mayor Chester Sowell, Who instructed your secretary to send a page to Commissioner Clements on February 23, 2004, advising him that Stan DeVane wished to speak to him about the events going on in the police department?
Mayor Chester Sowell, You have been outspoken regarding your chagrin over secret tape recording, especially Mark Culver’s assistance to Chief White in recording Jim Smith. Do you feel that attempting to entrap Chief White with the pages described above is improper since it didn’t involve a criminal investigation?
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.
Chief Jim Smith, Who were the City Commissioners that you met along with Mayor Sowell on W.Main Street after your resignation in order to show them your alleged incriminating evidence against Chief White?
Chief Jim Smith, Did you ask for a grant of immunity from prosecution when contacted by Special Agents of the FBI?
Mr. Gary Griffin, On what date did Mayor Sowell inform you that he had the proof needed to get rid of Chief White?
Mr. Gary Griffin, When Captain Givens and his attorney met with you and Mr. Segrest on March 12, 2004, what is the credible evidence Mr. Segrest assured Givens the Board possessed that would prove Chief White cloned pagers?
Mr. Gary Griffin, Who made the suggestion that some police employees be “invited” to submit to polygraph exams at Mr. Segrest’s office?
Also, whose recommendation dictated that very little advance notice of the invitation or exam be given to the intended subjects?
Mr. Gary Griffin, Did you or Mr. Segrest or both of you meet with Mayor Sowell at Mr. Segrest’s office on Wednesday, March 31, 2004, at 1:30pm? Was Chief White a topic in any part of the discussion?
Mr. Griffin, in your televised comments following the Committee meeting on April 29, 2004, you made reference to an official sitting in a high position advising employees to not cooperate with the board’s investigation and that you had been told that by employees. 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? ..
