It's A Real Eye Opener﻿

It's A Real Eye Opener

7/15/2015

In the recent Richfield Today post R. R. A. D. Richfield Residents Against Dump on 7/5/2015 CLARENCE wrote the following in the comment section, “The person who spoke after Danah Zoulke held up documents and photos showing that Richfield Village President John Jeffords is operating the exact same type of clean fill facility right next to his home……” Who is the person CLARENCE referred to and where did this action take place? CLARENCE is referring to a speaker at the June Richfield Village Board meeting. Did CLARENCE attend the June village board meeting? If so he would have known that the person he was referring to is none other than Jeff Gonyo. If he knew the speaker, was CLARENCE worried if he identified Jeff Gonyo as the speaker?
IS THAT A REAL EYE OPENER? Yes, for anyone who has not followed the political activists regarding issues in Richfield.

CLARENCE states “Village President John Jeffords is operating the exact same type of clean fill facility right next to his home…..” The property that CLARENCE referred to is not owned by John Jeffords. It is owned by his next door neighbor.
IS THAT A REAL EYE OPENER? Yes, for anyone who knows the truly gracious property owner CLARENCE was speaking about. It is one thing to try to undermine Richfield’s Village President but the audacity of attacking his neighbor is highly offensive. Jeff and CLARENCE are supporting Danah Zoulek. Has she denounced them? Time will tell. So much for facts, truth and her integrity!

CLARENCE commented “Why does the Village President get special treatment…..” John Jeffords is not getting special treatment. It is sad when people like CLARENCE are willing to take what Jeff Gonyo says as truth when his accusations are questionable. Is it time for CLARENCE to check the property role, determine the true property owner and get his facts correct?
IS THAT A REAL EYE OPENER? Yes, CLARENCE needs to learn more about how Jeff Gonyo provides information.

CLARENCE will have to make sure he has correct information the next time he comments on Richfield Today. In the future, comments that can be proved as false will be removed. THAT SHOULD NOT BE A REAL EYE OPENER!

As I have stated before, I'm Danah Zouleks Uncle. As I see by the posts on R.T. and R.R.A.D things have definetly escalated both verbally and physically against Danah and her family!! Marie,you commented on R.T June 29 ( this blog is way too quiet,does anybody know what the Zouleks are doing?) What kind of comment is that? You are just looking for any kind of information that you and everybody else can gossip about!! Really,you Lena,Shelley,Jennifer,Susan,and Diane really take the cake. You guys sound like a bunch of misinformed Magpies Cackling about a whole bunch of maybes or what ifs,not the facts.Makes me want to regurgitate. Danah and Tom were just gone and came home to a house that was toilet papered and egged!! Who is being intimadated and bullied!!!??? THE ZOULEKS!!!! Then there is the matter of the DRONE OVERFLYING THE ZOULEKS PROPERTY!! THE FAA IS VERY CLEAR ON IT'S RULES INVOLVING DRONES!! THE RULES CLEARLY STATE THAT A DRONE CAN ONLY BE USED FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES UNLESS IT HAS PERMITS AND WAIVERS FOR COMMERCIAL USE. THE PENALTIES FOR NON COMPLIANCE CAN BE QUITE SEVERE!! THE FOOTAGE DISPLAYED BY R.R.A.D. IS CLEARLY A SURVEY OF A GEOLOGICAL NATURE,OR OF THE EXISTING PIT. EITHER WAY THIS PHOTOGRAPHY IS IN VIOLATION OF THE UAS LAWS,AND ANY ENTITY THAT USED THIS FOOTAGE IS SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL AND CIVIL PROCEEDINGS! THAT MEANS R.R.A.P. ,BECAUSE YOU ARE A LICENSED BUSINESS ENTITY! IT IS QUITE CLEAR WHERE THE DRONE TOOK OFF FROM. You people say that Tom and Danah are intimadating and bullies,but you couldn't be farther from the truth! Time and time again Danah has offered to meet with whoever and discuss any issues that there might be.Instead you people choose to be cowards and don't even disclose who you really are. I do know one thing and that is you people don't want to cooperate about anything. All you want to do is attack Danah and her family!! You all should be ashamed of yourselves!! REMEMBER,WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!! BY THE WAY,TOM AND DANAH HAVE UPGRADED THEIR SECURITY ON BOTH PROPERTIES,AND THAT DOESN'T JUST MEAN TRAIL CAMERAS!! DANAH IS TRULY WORRIED ABOUT HER FAMILIES WELL BEING!

while I don't agree with the PROJECT --- I DONOT condone crap like stated above happening. I hope if anyone is having this kind of problem they should contact the sheriff a.s.a.p. so that it is documented. As far as a drone?? really when? did you take a picture of it. Also take a picture of any graffiti, call the police....don't blame others unless you can prove they did it. That is not acceptable

Marie, I am Danah's mother and Robert Parker is her Uncle. We are tired of sitting back and watching our family being harassed. We do have lives which include Danah and Tom Zoulek. We are not making this stuff up. If I could post a picture of my daughter's home with the eggs etc. I would. My husband, Steve, was helping them clean the driveway off this morning, etc. -- the syrup etc. It is TRUTH. No, lies. Danah and Tom need to stop being vilified because of The Scenic Pit, LLC. They are decent people who are trying to restore their private property. It's curious to me how the Richfield residents whom are against their project don't mind taking paychecks from a "chemical company" or taking paychecks for renting to tenants who qualify for Section 8 housing. This is called "life," it's called "United States of America." Just as you all have pursued your dreams etc. Why not Danah and Tom? As a side note, Marie --- your address in the Village of Richfield minutes state that you are living on "Windemere Court" -- I believe you live on Whispering Woods --- you might want to have the minutes amended to reflect your correct address. My point being Marie --- the focus is
on how everyone's life is being interrupted for those residents who live around "the pit." I grew up in Richfield --- dump trucks where just a part of "life." The area lends itself to quarries and development. Also, I went to Richfield Elementary School --- I never recall anyone being hit by a dump truck (There wasn't a four way stop on Hwy 175 and Hubertus Road either) --- being hospitalized for dust inhalation etc....... I rode by bike down Hubertus Road ---Hwy 175 --- my best friend lived on the corner of Hwy 175 and Hubertus Road. All the farmers were actively plowing their fields, planting, etc. hauling manure, etc. Everyone is hung up on their quiet "country" neighborhood. Also, residents are concerned about walking the roads etc. and riding their bikes --- we walked the roads and rode our bikes with dump trucks passing us, farmers' tractors, etc. No lives were lost, I can assure you. I wish the residents would meet with Danah and Tom --- they are really good people.

Again, I state: I am NOT for this PROJECT. It is NOT about the owners, it is NOT about my exact address I, it is NOT about what other people who are for the project say. I don't care to know people personally to be envolved with them. I care about my WATER, I care about traffic, I care about my village staying a quiet and safe environment. I care that children will be at risk with the trucks etc. I care that I have a right to blog without being told to go read other blogs.

"They are decent people who are trying to restore their private property."

They purchased this property for a purpose that they knew would harm the property values and lifestyles of well over 100 homes surrounding the property, also knowing that their plans were vigorously opposed. They planned strong arm the village with legal action and harm the area residents anyway, for their own profit.

So I won't be feeling very sorry for them if the court rules against them. They should have waited until the permits were issued prior to purchasing the property. Or found a property better suited for their purposes - that is, without the bitter opposition of every home affected.

They bought and paid for the legal problems they are having now.

That said, I'm in favor of the process working it out and do not support egging or TPing a house. Accusing anyone who responds to this blog as a participant is not called for. We will not be bullied into silence. I had nothing to do with it, nor does anyone I know.

Marie

Then report it. Stop complaining to me.

You stated: "Really,you Lena,Shelley,Jennifer,Susan,and Diane really take the cake. You guys sound like a bunch of misinformed Magpies Cackling about a whole bunch of maybes or what ifs,not the facts.Makes me want to regurgitate."

What exactly did I say that was not true? Your post sounds like a bunch of emotional mud slinging.

Your side sure gets emotional. I've read about Danah's outburst at the last village meeting in the newspaper.

And after saying all of this, Mr. Uncle, how close is YOUR house to the 100+ trucks per day that will be driving to this site for 10 years? Do you realize these trucks add a lot of danger to our roads, particularly to the runners, walkers and bicyclists who frequent the hilly route on Scenic Road? Many of us have walked/run these roads for decades and Danah's proposed enterprise will endanger our safety on our own roads. Will YOU hear the trucks' backup beepers all day? Will your home be enshrouded with the dust generated? Exactly how will this site personally affect you? Are you willing to have YOUR lifestyle and quiet enjoyment of your home disturbed for a landfill dump in YOUR backyard?

Demanding that the people who ARE being harmed all stop "cackling" is easy when it's not your own ox being gored, isn't it?

Nice to see people's anger with this project had now gone to the 'high school' level. Grow up. There's no reason to draw dicks in chocolate syrup on someone's driveway.

for those who want to bash us for doing something that we didn't.do ..you need to get a life and prove your so called facts

Cindy

Read the posts below --- there is proof.

I don't follow all the blogs etc. if you want to that is your right. I just post here where it matters to ME.
as far as a drone. its not illegal and if it is, then contact the authorities otherwise, don't complain

Marie, there are many developments in Richfield that generate "dump truck" traffic, along with utility trucks, septic tank trucks, agriculture vehicles, etc. Example:

"Timber Stone still has Lots for sale: LT 15, LT 37, LT 2, LT 86" (and probably more that I am not aware of).

"Dakotah Fields (Richfield, WI) - "This beautiful 37 lot subdivision is located on Elmwood Road, west of Hillside Road and east of Hwy 164. This is a beautiful location within the Village of Richfield and the Germantown School District."

The Scenic Pit is only 1.4 miles from this development --- are you worried about the children etc -- when the trucks start rolling in to build -- and the ground water. They may use routes that pass Amy Belle School. Dump trucks from other developments vehicles pass by Richfield Elementary School all day -- These trucks utilize the roads on Colgate Rd, Willow Creek Rd, Scenic Rd, Bark Lake -- this truck activity has been pointed that "activity" is occurring on in the pit.

Also, when the new fire station is constructed there will be a lot of noise, truck activity, dust etc. Based on your concerns and the residents of Windemere --- the Village of Richfield needs to cease all construction and development.

I only follow what Diane Pedersen has to say about my daughter and her family and anyone who responds to it. Especially, when she is called a liar, etc. I know that it's a persons right to blog and express etc. But, I think your friend Diane has taken it too far. Also, Marie, your address does matter, because you do not live in Windemere and if Danah would have done that you would (as you have before) called her a "liar." Also, I grew up in Richfield from the 60s-80s --- so, I do care and I happen to love my daughter.

I notice that Diane's blog doesn't receive comments on other articles she blogs. Maybe a few here and there -- but, when she blogs about Danah --- I will stand by my daughter. It is personal when her property gets vandalized and when drones watch the activity. It's personal ...

Lena

7/27/2015 02:37:30 pm

Cindy, you didn't seriously just compare the odd lot being built in one of the various subdivisions to the steady traffic of 100+ dump trucks a day concentrating around a particular site, did you?

Timberstone lots have been for sale for almost 10 years. I'd be surprised if 2 or 3 lots per year are developed. Even so, the subdivision is huge with multiple entrance/exits. It would be unlikely that all 2 - 3 lots' dump trucks would use the same access points.

VASTLY different situation.

Also, the construction of a fire station again has no comparison to the 100+ daily trucks for ten years that the is being sought for the Scenic property.

Again, a VASTLY different situation.

Either you are not very bright or you think we aren't.

Marie,again you don't know the facts! While drones are not illegal,the manner in which this one was used is! Would you wan't someone spying on your property? You say you don't follow all the blogs,but why wouldn't you follow the R.R.A.D. blog since they have the same views as you,and their blog is all about Scenic Pit L.L.C.?

It is really getting exasperating trying to defend my family from people that don't have a clue about what is REALLY GOING ON!!

You obviously aren't versed about the facts of the matter like you think you are. GET IT STRAIGHT OR QUIT COMPLAINING!!

Marie

7/22/2015 09:41:50 pm

I follow what I want to. Why do u follow them? They don't have ur views. Let's not make this personal. Stick to the issue.

Cindy, none of us here have anything personal against Danah and none of us wish her harm.

We just don't want to be harmed either, with all of the dump truck traffic, noise and dust that comes with a landfill in our back yards.

I wish her and her family the best, with all health and happiness.

I hope the court shuts down this particular avenue for them, but that they find an even more suitable and profitable location somewhere else.

Robert Parker

7/23/2015 02:00:44 am

Marie,I'm not even going to reply to you anymore. Time and again my family has tried to accomadate you by stating the facts and truth.

You say( LETS NOT MAKE THIS PERSONAL ) BUT YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM CALLING DANAH A LIER!!

I'M TIRED OF TRYING TO DEAL WITH IGNORANCE!!!
