Recently it has come to my attention that Calvin and Julie Limbocker have taken my advice in creating their own forum to advocate their position which is a very good thing for everyone involved. Ironically, as in most situations where someone attempts to conceal the truth with their special interest disinformation, their motivation and illogical conduct becomes quite clear to anyone who reads their propaganda.

NEVER CALLED EMERY A WATER THIEF – HE CALLED HIMSELF THAT

I find it extremely interesting that I have been accused of calling Emery Ross a water thief which could not be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, it was Emery Ross himself who repeatedly yelled that term and the audio recording of that meeting clearly documents this fact. It was really quite a show, but of course you did not read anything about this in the Foothill Express even though a reporter witnessed the entire drama.

QUESTIONED APPARENT UNACCOUNTED FOR WATER

What I did do, and would do again under similar circumstances considering this district’s estimated 26% water loss rate, was question why a check meter on the undocumented water line crossing the Ross Ranch did not accurately represent the water usage billed further down line by two adjacent ranches (all outside the permitted area of water use under the water license, thus, outside MIDPOU service). It should be noted this apparent unaccounted for water (thousands of gallons) continues to occur each month, however, it was Emery Ross himself who started yelling about being called a thief and requesting the sheriff be notified. [Also recall it was Emery Ross who had the OMIDPOU reporting changed from name to account numbers so no one could associate the amount of water being used on a given OMIDPOU property with the owner. This “special interest” reporting was corrected a few months ago.]

I imagine I could take the time to post the audio of the meeting where Emery had another “melt down” so viewers could hear for themselves the dramatic tantrum put on by Mr. Ross (it was quite a scene), but then I would undoubtedly be criticized for further embarrassing him needlessly.

This is the whole point: I welcome different perspectives or opinions concerning district operations and service but not when outright and intentional fabrications of the truth are presented to sway those who do not know the facts. I will challenge this activity every single time. I have worked very hard during the last two years in service to this district and its ratepayers and will not tolerate such despicable conduct by people who wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them on their (are you ready?) “naked human butt”. LOL

DON’T ENJOY BEING CORRECTED? SIMPLE SOLUTION: DON’T LIE.

Naturally those who persist in pushing such lies in hopes someone somewhere will eventually believe them, become embarrassed due to my proving they are incorrect and shameless, but that’s not my problem. If they do not care for the embarrassment of being revealed as the liars they are, they simply need to stop such conduct. What sort of position do they represent if built upon untruths in an attempt to deceive?

BACK TO THE APPARENT  UNACCOUNTED FOR WATER

It should be noted this apparent unaccounted for water is the result of the incorrect type of meter being used to check the flow before the water crosses the Ross Ranch. Brenda Seldon (a highly experienced water operator employed by our CSD) explained that all three meters involved are 5/8 inch diameter and if the two meters down line are simultaneously pulling a large volume of water the check meter will spin more rapidly and will incorrectly register a larger amount of water than is actually being used. This problem can be solved by replacing the 5/8 inch check meter with a compound meter which is more expensive. [Emery Ross was unaware of this fact which only goes to show without the opportunity for asking legitimate questions, correct answers will never be obtained.]

This is why I stated the water reading discrepancy was a non issue at the last meeting, however, a future board (that is truly concerned about accurate readings of water use) may consider the installation of a compound meter desirable in order to identify any possible future leaks occurring on the Ross Ranch line which runs approximately a quarter mile through private property.

WATER QUALITY ISSUE

The fact the line has been exposed in the past by rain runoff and was subsequently covered with concrete by Ross and his neighbor to prevent cattle damage (Ross’s other OMIDPOU water line was also damaged by cattle and his usage dropped from an average of several units to zero for many months) may still be of concern regarding down line water quality to the other ranches if the line were to ever be broken. Who do you think will be sued if someone gets sick because of contaminated water?

LOOK AT WHO SUPPORTS THE LIMBOCKERS

Another quick note before I get to work on some other business. I find it humorously revealing exactly who is supporting the Limbockers (and Directors Ross and Skoien) in their proclaimed crusade to clean up the CSD – many of the same people who steadfastly supported a former director who was removed for providing false information to a peace officer during a Grand Jury/District Attorney investigation.

Providing false information to a peace officer? Humm, most would consider that a big clue.

More on this Limbocker circus of misinformation later.

 

My best to you and yours, Lew
