I would think all professional people would be scratching their heads right now in regards to Commissioner Ozias and Sheriff King. Ozias’s leading the show with blow by blow minute to minute emails and Sheriff King ‘s special attention it is obvious they aren’t busy enough or perhaps things like this are job security for them? The amount of time spent on the “he said she said” reports by our top County officials calls to question, serious question. I was told to file a report when my neighbor crapped on my lawn, next time I’m calling Ozias…..I’ll fax him the pictures of her doing her business holding onto the truck with a license plate & pictures of her pile and toilet paper 10 feet from her property. Yeah, I think I’ll send those to him tomorrow and I’m expecting to get the same attention as apparently others receive as taxpayers. If only Ozias would have moved this fast in regards to Towne Road like he did about this issue and his property issue the victims wouldn’t be claiming to be victims, Towne Road would have been reopened and taxpayers wouldn’t be burdened with all of this crap.

Pepai, contacting the commissioner is one option, but you have a few clear paths forward here: 1) Demand that the county install tax-funded, automatic, electronic toilets in your yard. 2) Get the neighbor to crap within 600 feet of the commissioner's residence, and that activity will be stopped immediately or 3) I've been told to file a suit for defamation, but I think you should sue for defecation.

Maybe the whole thing is about getting the Tribe what they are after and catching these landowners up in the brouhaha is just a distraction. On some comment recently the writer surmised the land owners are niieve

That could certainly be true. All I know is that I now have a 5 mile detour to get my ice cream from the Dungeness Valley Creamery -- anyone who restricts my access to ice cream will suffer miserably.

Jeff, it is my pleasure. If I am doing anything to help I’d be tickled pink. But mainly I think good, honest people want to know what is going on. You have done the hard, really arduous work of presenting the facts via the very own words of the players involved. Thank you seems so small. But, thank you.

Well sorry I won’t be joining everyone. This is a great group you have. Lovely people; beautiful souls. I have too many irons in the fire but I know stuff on people who would not want me singing like a bird. In the big house. I want peace most of all. There are solutions to human conflict. I aim to work for that. The political sewer does get old and tiresome. But good ALWAYS triumphs, in the end.

From a post on ND:

Patrick I did but it was all taken down. It is all on the blog. This has been an ongoing discussion for weeks; months. The people who posted their FOIA documents that spurred the discussion have lost their ND accounts because someone(s) are upset and call FOOA postinng “harassment”. It is not hard to find the information. There are hundreds of people involved. I was answering someone who did not know where all the posts went. I am not interested in rewriting everything again.

Deborah, whatever you are doing it is getting more eyes on www.CCwatchdog.com (the website stats are on fire today). It's tough work, but you are sending people to a place where they can see the documents and draw their own conclusions. Thank you for fighting the good fight!

None of your posts really affected my opinion of these folks, however (and it saddens me) their actions (and posts) have begun to draw a pretty clear picture for me... Bummer, here's to hoping its just a bad hair day situation 🙄

I've had a bad hair situation for about 10 years now 👴.

Wow, if I read this right the Eberles do consider that gate to be their own personal property, but at taxpayer expense. Do you think any other citizen would get this much attention from a county Commissioner, a Sheriff, a Sheriff's Deputy and the Director of Community Development? When I received a death threat from SGGL I got one Deputy, who was very nice, by the way but I don't even know if a report was made.

If you are ever threatened, Gayle, immediately email the commissioner and it will be taken care of.

I'm laughing so hard! Good one! Unfortunately, Sequim Good Government League (SGGL) is part of the Socialist cabal (and a huge supporter of the Tribe) which Ozias belongs to. Opps! I shouldn't have written that. (We are being monitored by the Sheriff's Dept, right?) So, erase. I never said anything against Ozias. I can feel the handcuffs already.

Diverse viewpoints are welcome here, Gayle. Some degenerate made me the moderator of this website and I happen to like hearing what you have to say.

Whenever I see over the top response to issues like the Towne Rd debacle by the party who had benefited unfairly from miss appropriated public funds, I wonder what they are hiding.

I do not feel that you,Jeff, have done anything inappropriate. You have brought to the attention of all us how our one county commissioner has behaved recklessly and should be held accountable.

That is so sweet, Carmen. This has been pretty eye opening for me too. Thanks for reading along and promising me that you would bail me out of jail (that was you, wasn't it?)

So much to digest but the jist I’m getting is they are taking it personally when it’s really about “Mark O” and his accountability.

There are pro’s and cons to submitting written anything to an elected official. They are now understanding that ramification. The truth is being told and time line set up. Irrefutable evidence .

It’s the key words or phrases that are being used by Bri in order to intimidate in order for her to get what she and her husband wants. Sounds very manipulative to me.

This all should have never even happened except for Mark O’s ill-gotten decision to stop the project.

The above emails are just begging for a good cheese and a crystal glass.

Would you settle for a solo cup and a PBR?

And this was somewhat recent... which makes me wonder if this is just the "culture" at the county these days.

SOOO...... Just exactly how many police reports has she filed against you? Do you think a letter to Ozias asking for his help to stop her constant filing of false police reports would be in order? Is filing false police reports a crime? Do you need to get a restraining order on her?

In light of Washington Red flag Laws, I would suggest if you or your partner own any firearms that you transfer ownership to someone you trust or store them in Idaho for the time being. All it takes is an allegation to suspend your 2A rights.

I'm not sure how many, Leo... but I've asked for them to be released to me. I currently sleep with a glue gun under my pillow (ya never know when the crafting bug will hit) but I keep my bedazzler in the safe for rhinestone emergencies. I appreciate the advice.

I would hope someone at the County level would know if false reporting is a crime... I'll ask my commissioner.

So very sorry that you have had to go through so much vitriol and vile accusations. You have been very professional in your presentations, always backed up with your informative facts. You are handling everything with aplomb and dignity, much unlike those who delight in maligning you. Stay strong, Jeff. You are the light in the woven veil of lies.

Denise, you just volunteered to write my eulogy! I wouldn't mind if you swap out "aplomb and dignity" with "great hair and snazzy clothes", but I'll leave that up to you :)

Kathy, I recently read the rather substantial amount of FOIA documents that led me to a different conclusion. I have no dog in this fight, other than my desire for government to be honest and transparent. I have sent potential customers to the businesses on that road. I have supported the Tribe as best I’ve known how. But I am keenly interested in fairness. One Commissioner has had issues raised that needs a thorough vetting and accounting. This entire issue is about that fact. For the people who are being incited to fight about the surrounding issues, it is unfortunate they do not understand that civilized society must follow rules for fairness in governing. I love the Tribe. I have backed them most of the time. I respect the businesses caught in this controversy. Hell I voted for the Commissioners. I want honest and open dialog from all sides. And a fair way to allocate resources that we all have to live with in the future. Deborah Gillem

Deborah, you are spot on about being keenly interested in fairness. I don't see a comment from Kathy that you responded to, but maybe I missed it.

Jeff, it looks to me that most, if not all, your posts have been taken down from Next Door. Your profile does not show your connections. Most of the time your account does not come up on a search. If someone claimed you were harassing them ND might have decided to minimize you there. I sent the entire thread to you on ND but it disappeared.

Expand full comment

Deborah, I'm not ignoring you! My account on nextdoor.com was suspended because of a complaint made by Bri Eberle. She also got Tom, Leo, and Angel removed... I'm afraid you are one of the few Towne Road supporters left on nextdoor. I'll try to get back on, but I can't even see posts while I'm in "nextdoor jail". If you are so kind to slide a piece of stale bread under my cell door, one the rats haven't nibbled on too much, I'd appreciate it :)

I figured as much. Count on the bread. 😃

Unbelievable (almost) -- what a helluva lot of "crying wolf" - it takes real effort to become such a "victim".............and Jeff - STAY PESKY! There will always be those who come forth with unsubstantiated claims to support their victimization....I'm more than stuck by how their "complaint" has been so mishandeled... M.O. has some culpibility there (and many other places too!)

I tried to write more in that comment but somehow kept losing it. I think that Commissioner owes the land owners an apology. They have no idea how they are being used. They think the whole debacle is about a road and gate. For whatever reason, ignorance or sense of entitlement or whatever, it doesn’t seem to bother them and their followers the way the results have been reached.

I wasn't Lynne, but I'll put in a PRR and let you know when I get them. My guess is that they are screenshots from nextdoor.com, or of vandalism... but I don't know for sure.

I want to see her proof of your trespassing and intimidation (which I know doesn’t exist 🙂) She’s asking for a defamation lawsuit. I feel sorry for her in a way, because I feel that she is naive, but not a bad person. If I knew of anyone threatening or harassing the Eberles, I would never support that. I do not support that behavior in any situation. If anyone knows who may be doing it, please help make it stop.

Expand full comment

I also would like to see that proof. I wonder if initially having "fame" is a prerequisite to filing a "defamation" lawsuit. Personally, I felt my career as a hair model was about to take off before all this started happening... now, if I can just find the right judge :)

I’m glad you’re able to keep your sense of humor, Jeff. :-)
