Posted on 8 Aug 2010, 7:24 by Wondering...Junk Yard?
Just curious how a junk yard can exist next to Lake Siog. Whenever I walk there with my daughter, she points at all the cars just rusting away in the field. If you look at it with Google Earth, there are countless vehicles rusting away (and who knows what bad stuff leaking into soil and nearby lake). Is that why the lake is always closed? Not going to name names, but if you drive by on the road, it's clear who owns this property. Just wondering what is going on...

incoherent comment..
To "needs answers," your comment is incoherent; who is "you" in your comment, do you have a name?
The "burning of brush" by the LaMoutnains' did cost the town unknown sums of money because Wettlaufer and the rest of the Board of Selectmen made a conscious choice to ignore the LaMountains' constitutional right to establish and operate a farm and their exemption from restrictions of burning brush as farmers.
If you have the need to inform the people of Holland about your viewpoint, why don't YOU write an article and email it to me. If you sign it with your name I will post your piece!
Do you have balls or to you need to grow some first (or at least try to)??

You have no clue I was not talking about what the selectman did thats just ur was to get the heat off you by tring to get it on someone else. weather or not if its a legal place to burn for any reason wich it is under control of the fire department and dont put a by law or a law saying thay sont becease i dont care about it, he burns brush and i dont mind. yet when JIM cant control these fire's and emergency responder have to go there and risk injury cost the town money for being there and to top it off there are not able to go on real emergenceys that threat other poeples lives ex(house fires, care accidents, and any medical emergencies) that is what is most shocking. so deciding to be a good town citizen i wanted to see what happend that day so for some reson i went to 01521.com and everybodies life story is up there but the real man who starts all of this. To the growing off balls for one I did it to protect my family i didnt want you PARKED in my drive way taking pictures of me like some else. and second I have a pair and have always had two and the day they got bigger was the day i didnt vote for any of ur posse at the town elections. If ur ganna put peoples lifes on this web site dont play favorits and not put ur friends live up for good or bad....

Quick Call = Good call.
To needs answers .. Ok here are answers... The fire department was called by Jim BEFORE the fire got out of control. After the wind picked up Jim aborted the burn. The fire was never out of control. Jims quick call and our Fire departments quick professional response kept the fire contained to the permitted burn area.
If you want more answers then go ask the Deputy Fire Chief in charge of the permit. You are just looking for any opportunity to set out your biased spin on the out of control situation our town is in because our officials ignored the law and are not man enough to apologize and move forward.
. Your post and comment , and I quote "everybodies life story is up there except the real man who starts all of this" .. What are you talking about...Starts all what? and what "real man" are you talking about.. Cmon , please provide some answers yourself. I think you don't want "real" answers. I think you want to continue to bash Jim and spin a web of lies and mis-direction. I think it is you who have something to hide. ...It is good to see you commented that as a "good citizen" you go to 01521.com for your local news. You should thank Peter Frei for providing this service to the town at no expense.

Town fined for Johnsons Illegal acts
Brian Johnson has caused Holland to be fined 12,000 for digging in the lake without permits. Geri Jean Twinning reported the Illegal acts by our highway department to the DEP when they occured. When questioned as to why he was digging with an excavator in the lake Johnson was quoted as saying he does not have to answer to anyone about his actions.
Now the town will once again shell out cash due to Illegal acts by the Johnson Clan..Like father like son....
