Written on PHOTOS: Islander Chris Quinton recounts dangerous nightly missions in Iraq:

I have had the honor and privelage of being a good friend of this great guy. 'Wally' (as big as a wall) is a true gentle giant. After he blasted some terrorist evildoers, he would hand out candy and hug the people of the village...he rocks. God bless Chris 'Wally' Quinton!

Written on Island couple share memorable moments with actor Fess Parker :

I lived half a mile from Fess. Nice guy, his winery is in the movie 'Sideways' which I had a background role. He was really cool to all the cast and crew. He will be missed by a lot of folks in the Santa Ynez Valley.

Written on Marco community leaders recognized at Christmas Island Style Gala :

Although Dale sucks @ softball,...Maybe it should be known that Dale Rod, in his personal life would give the shirt off his back to help any of his friends or family... Dale congrats you should be proud.. I know I am!

Written on Bryan Milk named City of Marco Island Parks and Recreation Director:

Wasn't sure the city would make the right move in replacing Dana, but it looks like they have.
Great choice!

Written on Marco's Parks and Recreation Director Dana Souza resigns:

Dana, integrity will get you no where on Marco.
Good luck in S.C. You will be missed.
Terri Desciullo should be our city manager.

Written on Marco councilman vows to fight charges:

Godfrey Davies will not be bullied, embarrased, spoken down to..spoken up to.
He will not be influenced by anyone interest or any threat.
He has as many people upset off at him on his side as well as the other side.
He's tough, he tells it like it is, he rubs people the wrong way and doesn't regret any decision he makes. I've wanted to kick the big Welch illegitimate in the as% myself on several occasions.
So with that said, Godfrey Davies is the epitome of the guy you would most want in the 'foxhole' with you, and anyone who knows him know exactly what I mean.
Like him or not he's steadfast in his goal - undoing the wrongs of a government that has lost the people.
History is repleat with leaders like Godfrey, not popular, but are willing to do what ever it takes to do what is RIGHT.
(and may I dare quote)
'Never in the history of Marco has so many owed so much to so few'
So in a year or so from now, when our
neighborhoods are coming back in focus and our voices are once again strong in our local gov't, you raise a toast in honor of this Welch sob - and then get on with life in paradise.

Written on Bye, Bill Moss: Good-natured ribbing, praise showered at farewell luncheon:

Seems to me Avenger, what Barfieldfly and the others are saying is the sentiment amoungst our citizens, at least from what I'm hearing.

Written on Residents push construction contract amendments; city pushes back:

This is borderline criminal.
There's one and only one reason for pushing this lift station forward.
Those who vote in favor must someday be held responsible.

Written on Market Update: Marco Island real estate shows signs of hope:

I like her articles, things on Marco seem to be picking up, Good Job Natalie,
Pat Maguire

Written on Letter: Sewer scenario:

You folks sitting back in MI or MA or ME or wherever.... listen to these guys like Davies and Putnam who fight the MACHINE who crank up your taxes only to eventually price you off the 'Isle of TUCKER.'

Written on Allen fourth to announce City Council candidacy:

First Batte then Hall then Neylon and now Allen.
Man, that St. Anthony doesn't mess around.
What ever you guys need.

Pat Maguire

Written on The Farmer File: Getting a grip on Marco:

Mr. Farmer you certainly have a way of making freinds.
Going back in the archives and looking at some of your columns I am astounded at your inflammatory name calling and escalating rhetoric in your speak.
I believe your enemies should be allowed to have a representive columnist as well(for if nothing else) to defend ourselves against your sophmoric offensive writing style.
jwputnam maybe onto something here.
NDN are you listening???

Written on Neylon third to announce City Council candidacy:

Butch Neylon, truely a great guy and deeeply committed to returning this city to the paradise it's suppose to be.
I'd wish you luck but I really don't think you'll need it.
Pat Maguire

Written on Deadline looming for mail-in ballots on Marco sewer referendum:

I do enjoy the intelligence that counters this cities ignorance.

Written on Hall second to announce City Council candidacy :

Roger good luck, you certainly have my vote.
Thank you for all you have done for the people of Marco.

Go HALL and BATTE!

Written on Residents demand answers from Keister on sewer costs :

Chuck, I've been off the blogs for a while and have finally found a reason to post, YOU.
Chuck you are an inspiration for many people on this island who are being pushed off by the special interests. I think of you often and follow you proudly and with much interests.
You are a hero.

Written on Property prediction: ‘Window of opportunity’ not such a buzz term any more, according to expert:

Chuck worked with you on your campaign, swore myse;f off of these blogs since Barfieldfly razed me (same side?) N-E-ways scanned these bloggs for a reason to comment and have finally found one.
Chuck I'll write more tommorow but for now, you are my hero. thanx, Chuck.

Written on Marco issues release rebutting allegations of Sunshine Law violations:

They think they got over the 'acceptance' phase of the STRP. They want us to focus on equity issues as if 'well now that we've all accepted that the STRP should go forward' lets look into the financing of it. No one I know has given up on getting rid of the terrible STRP - period..
Minozzi said it best. "We can't make this equitable".
THEN WHY DO IT?
Let me figure this out- We award major contracts, we begin installing sewers and we still haven't figured out how its going to be paid for?

Written on Marco council adjourns citing ‘unruly’ atmosphere:

Now is the time for these concillors to step up to the plate before it goes to far. Being holed up in the bunker protecting Moss till the end is (as history has proven) is no position you want to be in.

Written on Jan. 17: Letters To The Editor:

Mr. Lazarus the man who wants civility on the island.
The man who ripped up a info pamphlet my wife handed him at a city council meeting and he ripped it up in her face and said" this is what I think of your(expletive deleted)CARES group.
Very civil Monte.

Written on Lazarus doesn't like media's coverage of recall:

Is this the same Monte Lazarus who ripped up a flyer in my wifes face and said "this is what I think of your F*&%$ CARES" when she went to hand him it to him at council meeting one night.
You're a real class act Lazarus.

Written on Investigation begins into Marco asbestos dumping:

ed34145,
If you suspect CARES or Ed Foster himself of planting the asbestos, you need to contact the Marco Island police dept.
This is now a criminal investigation.
If you are just hiding behind your computer and taking 'pot shots' at your enemies, you are making a bad situation worse.
So instead of 'ed34145' what is your real name, so we can act like real men and take full responsibilty for our words and actions on these sites.
Pat Maguire

Written on Letter: 'Old guard' has a response:

Let the voters speak.

Written on Marco letters to the editor: October 3:

Mr. Lazarus,
Are you quoting the bible now? What verse Psalms was that regarding anger?
Mr. Lazarus the very first time I meet you was at city council meeting about 6 or 7 months ago.
My wife handed you a leaflet on the STRP and the stance CARES took in opposing it.
Let me translate what happened(remember monte there were even witnesses to this on your side)
My wife hands you the leaflet, "Please read this info.."
Lazarus (interrupts) GRABS leaflet from my wifes hand.
"This CARES JUNK- this is what I think of your (EXPETIVE DELETED)CARES group" He rips up the papers in my wife face and throws them down.
By the way, is this the same Monte Lazarus who spoke as a leader on behalf of a group, in a church of God, where someone yelled out, "They should all be shot"(speaking of those who CELEBRATE MARCO opposes)?
Mr Lazarus, actions speak LOUDER than words.
Pat Maguire

Written on Clearing the air:

Joe the problem lies with the fact that if we are to have responsible open dialog, we really should know who were talking to.
Since you're now just joing us, let me fill you in on this comment page turned blog.
Unfortunatly those on the side of Celebrate Marco, see it fit to hide behind annoynmous name's and aliases while those who oppose the cities handling of our paradise, stand in full responsibility of each posting.
Joe, you are among the honorable by posting your name, you are to be commended.
Pat Maguire

Written on Recall committee puts its position on record:

Look at the the blogs above sound familiar?
Lets criticize and argue but, lets get over the talking in circles.
State your gripe, keep it clean, and move on.
Go, Roger, GO!!!!
Pat Maguire

Written on Recall committee puts its position on record:

Mr. Maguire,
Barfieldfly has called us haters of Marco, they don't do their research, they spread hate & lies on this island!Look at their blogs!

Written on Recall committee puts its position on record:

Mr. Maguire,
Watch the logs, good luck with the constructive dialog. Check out comments by ed34145- where he assaults Mr. Macmullen, it is brutal!

Written on Recall committee puts its position on record:

Good showing tonight for all those who stand in the face of special interests, Roger, again job well done!
Lets keep things clean, and have some, CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOG!
Yes, We hate them - They hate us, That will never change. Things on Marco will never be the same(thank God).
I look forward to the paradise formally known as Marco Island, not Fort Lauderdale Island, thats what it will be with a sewer system designed to handle over 9 times the needed capacity! You do the math.
Go CARES! GO POP, GO EARNMARCO, GO ROGER HALL!!!,
Said without character assasinations or hate filled retoric.
Ok, your turn.

E. Pluribus Unum,

Pat MAguire

Written on Hall says he has needed signatures for recall petitions:

Roger,
Many friends and family arriving by thanksgiving, want to volunteer big time.
Please advise.
Congradulations!

Written on Face-to-face:

Marcogirl,
Do you really still need to hide in the shadows,
what are you so affraid of?

I didn't know what was going on at St Marks last thursday night. I was told I could go and see what this Celebrate Marco Group was about, debate, gathering, secrete meeting - I don't know! Sorry, I will carefully watch my vocabulary when I speak of Celebrate Marco and their 'functions'(is that word o.k.?).
By the way MARCOGIRL, heres a real shocker-representives from the city WERE THERE Trotter, Minnozi & Bill Moss! I believe one of them was sitting right near the person who shouted "WE SHOULD SHOOT THEM ALL"

sincerely,
MARCOMAN
aka Pat Maguire

Written on The Marcophile: A case of paying for pet peeves:

John,
See above comments by LOWUS, she pretty much sums it it up!
Where's our voice?

Written on Celebrate Marco says recall petitions, letters 'misleading':

Again complete cowardice by MARCOGIRL!
Here stands John Putnam In full accountability for his words, thank you for being accountable Mr.Putnam.
Marcogirl you are a coward. Go on and hide in the shadows and take 'pot shots'from behind your computer screen. Pathetic!!!!!!!

Written on The Marcophile: A case of paying for pet peeves:

Mr Putnam, Mr. Ed Foster, Mr. Byron Erickson, Mr. Roger Hall, Mr. Russ Columbo, Mr. Butch Neylon and all the others who bravely sign their names to each posting, you have my utmost respect!
For those of you who sit back each night and watch the dialog unfold on these blog sites between these players, you have to be saying to yourself: why the hell are all those opposed to the city destroying our paradise come out openly with who they are on each posting, while those who (and I say this with tongue in cheek)defend Marco and Celebrate Marco - HIDE IN THE SHADOWS?

Does anyone know who these cowardice stewards of the blogs really are?

To all you who have felt intimidated lately by Celebrate Marco, and that crowd(the foot soldiers for Minnozi, Tucker, Trotter & Moss) take strength in knowing that there are good people on this island willing to stand in the face of CM's intimidation tactics and fight for the sanctity of our island paradise.
