NMAR is an Association, NMAR is NAR members - they should not have the CLOUT they brag about having. NMAR should not get to a have an opinion and a Political Agenda. NMAR and the National Association of Realtors Should NOT influence Local Government in ANY way.
Tell the Realtors to get out of your Business. Realtor CLOUT is bad for the real estate consumer, bad for the environment and bad for the taxpayers.
Get Realtors, NMAR, MAR, and NAR out of your Politics... they have no business there.
Here is the Whitefish Lake Protection Regulations and NMAR's Comments.. though they should not be having any... NMAR is a for Developers, for Big Money and Big Business and to Keep Relators in Business... this is Wrong..

Why does NMAR Push it's way into Local Planning
Sheriff is the Law of the land In Your County as Well
Nobody Wants to Know the Truth about things that Really Matter... Quick get the Local Newspaper.. now That's News.
Newspapers Lead you to Believe what they want you to Believe.
Do NOT get your news from the newspaper. Ask around, dig deeper. Write on our blog network of news by and for the people and get your version of the story out there…. Crystal@CrystalCox.com - email me for access to write on our Network.
The Truth is rarely in the Lee Newspaper Chain. And most to not have the courage to write on our blogs, and admittedly I don't know most of what is going on. I ask, I invite others to write on our blogs, our large network of Blogs to Get your voice heard but only a couple have taken me up on this, yes a whole lot of people slam me for what I say and most do so anonymously.
v
Nobody will Talk about the Real Stories. Everyone ones to live in la land where corruption reigns king and then stand up all righteous as if we Live in a Free Country and must fight for it.
Makes No Sense to Me.
g
r
From starting this news by the people for the people blog network, I have seen very few people speak up and tell the truth. And I have heard the sickest stories imagineable. I understand just wanting to live in your little bubble and not create waves. I get it. Especially in areas Famous for Supposed Suicides that end up really being murders but are never investigated because a county sheriff is the law of the land, these stories are statewide.
People touch on the truth, but seriously We, You cannot handle the Truth. It is to disturbing at every level and the corruption, secrets, and denial is at the top levels and you the people pay for their wages to do this to you, and you keep your head down for fear of your life and your families life. So much I now wish I did not know. So many have come to me with the sickest and the saddest of stories.. and truly there is nothing no one is willing to or can do.
r
Since starting my News Blogs I have heard of corruption accusations at the highest levels, I have heard first hand stories of people beaten by Lincoln County Cops, heard of children raped and beaten in their homes by family and not heard, I have heard of Horrible crimes to innocent animals, I have heard of human trafficking stories and date raping druggings where by groups of woman are drugged and raped and photos are taken, video is taken and if the girls remember any of it well they are discredited immediately by video, by the town mouths flapping about them having a drink or they should not have been there… when the TRUTH is GHB - the Date Rape drug can be in water.
r
r
r
Rumors of "It cost $50,000 for a Montana Supreme Court Decision", and Corruption so deep and so wide that you will never get justice of any kind. So what Next.. Give Up ?
h
The City cops in Eureka Montana and the County Law enforcement have very bad relationships and local arrests MEAN nothing, for the folks in Libby let them back out on the street as soon as they feel the public won’t cause to much rucus about it.
h
no True Justice is Given in Our County.... Look at the Arrests, look at the paperwork, the plea bargains, the deals, the "suicides".. just take a look at it all and you will know that there is so much more to ALL the stories you have been FED for decades by local controlled media.
R
I am told this is happening in other states and certainly all over Montana so it is nothing NEW.
x
email Me at Crystal@CrystalCox.com
and Get access to Write on Our Blogs.. you Don't have to Agree with me.
You can tell your story firmly but with out targeted hate.. right?
r
The depths of Corruption, pay offs, plea bargains, and Secret Agendas is decades upon decades old and it is not going to come to a STOP anytime SOON. Especially when the Public at large is IGNORING the truth for the most part.
t
You get the Option to ignore everything I have said on this blog, and so be it. Most are still yapping at the stores about how it is the Victims Fault... and other noneense and head in sand Yammering. Oh well.... You Get to Choose.. and if you wish to stay in the dark, because it is Easier then So bit... But be careful you don't bump into anything... for in the Dark you Truly can't see much .... THOUGH it is STILL there..

Terry Trieweiler and the Real Estate Consumer
“Nearly all” of the amicus brief filed last week by the Northwest Montana Association of Realtors (NMAR) is irrelevant to the issues involved in the city of Whitefish’s lawsuit against the county over the so-called “doughnut” area, city attorney John Phelps claims in his Feb. 6 response to the Realtors.Furthermore, NMAR’s brief contains information about the city’s Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) that is “incorrect, exaggerated or untrue,” Phelps said.
The city has asked Flathead County District Court Judge Katherine Curtis to enter a preliminary injunction stopping the county from taking any further planning or zoning action in the “doughnut,” and to make it effective from May 1, 2008.
NMAR wants the preliminary injunction to be effective beginning Dec. 23, the date when the Montana Supreme Court overturned Curtis and ordered her to enter a preliminary injunction.The impact of the CAO on property owners within the two-mile planning and zoning jurisdiction was the focus of NMAR’s amicus brief, but Phelps says the city’s lawsuit is a contract dispute over the interlocal agreement between the city and the county that created the “doughnut” area.“Although the CAO was the reason for Flathead County’s attempt to rescind the interlocal agreement, the CAO is not at issue in this case,” Phelps said.
To support his point, Phelps cited the findings of fact adopted by Curtis on May 1, 2008, which said that “the validity of the CAO is not at issue in this action, and the views of the Flathead County Commissioners concerning the ordinance is irrelevant to this court’s determination of whether or not (the city) is entitled to the preliminary injunction it seeks.”Phelps also countered NMAR’s claim that the “more than 5,000” property owners in the “doughnut” are indispensable to the case.“Under our system of government, local government units can enter into interlocal agreements without approval of voters or property owners,” Phelps said.
Phelps also pointed out that the city had warned the court that if the preliminary injunction was denied, planning and zoning actions subsequently approved by the county “might be wasted” if the district court’s ruling was reversed.“But for the national slow-down in real estate development, the situation would be far worse,” Phelps said.
As for the two “doughnut” area lakeshore permits issued by the county last year, Phelps said the city was willing to validate them even if Curtis restores the status quo back to May 1 last year.
Accompanying Phelps’ response was the affidavit of Whitefish attorney and former Montana Supreme Court justice Terry Trieweiler, who has consulted with the city in the “doughnut” lawsuit.Trieweiler said he investigated NMAR’s claim that the arguments in the amicus brief represent the interests of its 855 members

Dupont also wants say in doughnut lawsuit
For the third time in less than a year, documents have been filed by people who want a say in the city of Whitefish’s lawsuit against Flathead County over the two-mile planning and zoning jurisdiction commonly called the “doughnut” area.
Flathead County Commissioner Jim Dupont and “doughnut” resident Anne Reno filed for intervenor status on Feb. 18.
Two separate parties filed for intervenor status in March 2008 — Heiko and Elizabeth Arndt, who own property on Whitefish Stage Road, and Westridge Investments LLC, with principal R. Matthew Moran, which owns property on Birch Glen Road.
Then in January this year, the Northwest Montana Association of Realtors filed an amicus brief in support of the county.In his application, Dupont cites the importance of the “doughnut” issue in last year’s county commissioner election.
Dupont notes that his Republican primary opponent, incumbent commissioner Gary Hall, admitted the interlocal agreement that created the “doughnut” was a mistake.Dupont also notes that his Democratic opponent, Steve Qunell, favored Whitefish control over the planning and zoning area, and only one of the three current county commissioners, Joe Brenneman, supports the interlocal agreement.“Dupont believes that previous commissioners should not be able to bind future commissioners on legislative issues, such as enacting zoning and growth policies in the doughnut,” his application states. Reno, who owns property on Eagle Creek Trail, “is a single mother living on limited means,” the application states, and “her home is her major asset and nest egg for retirement.”

Tobacco Valley News - Never Ever Forget this Blatant Attack on the Victims of EVERY Crime Committed here over Decades. This is a Disgrace....
Shameful, Disgracful Quote from the Tobacco Valley News... This makes ALL victims feel even more violated. Steve Newman lives in a Land of Fantasy if he believes any of the Trash Talk and Irresponsible Speculation.
Hasn't the Tobacco Valley New's Version of Reality and Version of the News made us all crinch over decades and haven't they got to say enough, do enough damage ?
r
they don't Dare !!!
You have to go out of town to get your news of what really is happening in your neighborhood. Steve Nueman goes to most all political meetings but your certainly do not get the whole story on the, "You Can't Handle the Truth". But you pay for those Newspapers, you pay for those meetings and for the folks that sit there and decide what is best for you.
r
Steve Newman gets the almighty power of telling you what to believe, printing the news he wants you think is the whole truth and nothing but and he influences your lives every single day. Enough is Enough.
r
If Steve Newman Does not Stand with an endless array of victims, well then who does Steve Newman Stand with... Commissioners, Politicians, Mayors, Detectives, Sheriffs, and Advertisers? Is this the Kind of News you want to Believe when Big Daddy Steve Newman tells you once again what to do.
Steve Newman Quote"Reject Recall Petition
Dissatisfaction over investigations into alleged rapes has prompted a number of North Lincoln County residents to consider a recall of the sheriff.
Organizers promise a petition to that effect.
If one is actually circulated, other residents would do well not to sign it for two reasons.
First, there is no sufficient legal grounds to recall the sheriff.
Second, and more importantly, a recall solves nothing.
Montana is one of 17 states that allow citizens an avenue for removing elected officials from office. But that power is limited. State law allows recall of an elected official for lack of physical or mental fitness, incompetence, violation of oath of office, official misconduct, or conviction of a felony offense.
None of these in fact apply to Sheriff Daryl Anderson.
The law that subjects Anderson and every other elected official to recall specifically states: "A person may not be recalled for performing a mandatory duty of the office that the person holds or for not performing any act that, if performed, would subject the person to prosecution for official misconduct."
It's one thing to disagree with the sheriff on decisions he makes. We certainly have had occasion to do so. But it's quite another to allege misconduct and incompetence when neither apply.
A recall is therefore inappropriate.
And recalling the sheriff solves nothing. Implementing a public affairs protocol would.
We've pointed out in the past that the sheriff's department in Libby sorely needs a trained liaison to deal with the public, which has every right to raise questions and expect answers.
The tempest brewing over these investigations is another case in point of failed communication.
It can be done right. Officers right here in North Lincoln County are evidence of professional, courteous communication.
Equal treatment from Libby solves a problem.
Backing a doomed recall of the sheriff does not.
Lincoln County knows full well from a former justice of the peace in Libby that elected officials must on occasion be removed from office. " Unquote...
The Crimes that really going on here, would bring any one of you good people of Eureka Montana to your knees. If you really knew the whole truth and nothing but you would drop to your knees in despair and in prayer.
You may think it odd, but i am tearful, actually crying as I write this at our local paper having the nerve to smack down victims in this public display of pure disrespect.
r
This quote tells all victims they don't matter, they deserve what they got; be it raped, beated, robbed or whatever was done to them.
I am HERE, not to disrespect the law in any way, but to hope that justice is actually served based on the Crime and not on Who you Know or how much money you Have.
r
I am Here to tell ALL victims of Lincoln County Montana over Decades that you Do Matter, you do deserve to be heard and you Did NOT deserve what you got. This is NOT the Lincoln County I know and love, this is not the help thy neighbor - let's go fishin' and drivin' in the woods - picnicing - good loving - hard working Tobacco Valley that I know and Love.
This quote says you are not a Victim unless The Tobacco Valley News says you are. And it boldly states that all laws and efforts of investigation were done properly in every circumstance and that a recall is "inappropriate" and "doomed.
r
How in the world can Steve Newman of Tobacco Valley News know this, a legal genius I guess, memorized all laws, knows all details of all crime scenes, and looked into his Crystal Ball and decided all has been thoroughly investigated and all actions were appropriately taken, So Be It.. Steve Newman has Spoken and that's the way it is... NOT...
I am a lifetime resident here, I am a Lincoln County Graduate and a Daughter of those timber dollars. I am a 4th generation Montanan and I say Sign the Recall, Demand Justice, and I even have the audacity to say Boycott the Tobacco Valley News for Violating Public Trust.
I say, I have talked with endless people over decades and I certainly know, without a doubt, how nasty - vile - and disturbing the crime has been in Lincoln County with seemingly no end in site.
r
I have spoke with you folks out there over and over, I know that you don't believe all the TVN tells you to believe, I know that you are frustrated with Steve Newman's version of the News and that you weep for victims of all crimes. You write letters, you beg for help and no one has ever listened. You have Been Ignored, and in that things did not magically get better, but instead they got worse.
You may not like me, you may not approve of me, but EUREKA you know me. And this is not about our differences, this is about what we have in Common.
r
I am connected to old and new rexford, I am a product of this valley, I love Eureka Montana. And what has been happening here is very wrong and has been happening a very long time.
r
We now have a newcomber to our area with the Backbone to Stand up for us all and the patience and knowledge to wade throught the Montana Judicial Process to do it right.
r
If we do not back up this Tobacco Valley "stranger", this white knight passing through our lives, then we will have no say in the future as these crimes continue to be unpunished and SHOCKINGLY unbelieved.
Sign the Recall, Find Out More...
e
Don't Believe Me, Don't Believ the
Tobacco Valley News or your Beloved Commissioners.
Believe your Friends and Neighbors, Find out All you
can and make an informed decision on Your Own.
We used to go to Camp 32 and have gatherings, tons of people in our area would come out, we ate fish, and played games, it was a BLAST from babies to elderlies were there and today at camp 32 people are beaten at teen parties.
WE Get One Shot to Take our Town Back only one, if this don't work then Eureka will never be the reason you moved here, the reason you stayed here or the reason you chose to raise your family here. This Recall is not a Miracle, but it is One Shot at a long awaited Change.

Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act - Not just another "Environmentalist" it is Time To wake up to fact and Stop Hatred.
Carole King Joins Rep. Carolyn Maloney in Supporting the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act
Washington, D.C. -- Today, pop music legend Carole King joined Representatives Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) in announcing the introduction of the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA). NREPA would protect some of America's most beautiful and ecologically important lands while saving taxpayers’ money and creating jobs.
“Many of America’s most precious natural resources and wildlife are found in the Northern Rockies,” said Rep. Maloney.
“NREPA would help protect those resources by drawing wilderness boundaries according to science, not politics. NREPA would also help reduce global warming by protecting the corridors through which vulnerable wildlife can migrate to cooler areas.”
“I am proud to cosponsor this legislation to protect the Northern Rocky Mountains, one of America’s great natural areas,” said Rep. Grijalva.
“A bold plan is needed to preserve and protect what remains of the Lewis and Clark legacy, and this bill would do just that.”“NREPA protects land and water belonging to all Americans, mitigates the effects of global warming on species, saves taxpayers millions of dollars and creates jobs.
If not now, when?” asked Carole King. Grizzly bears, caribou, elk, bison, wolves, bull trout and salmon still thrive in the Northern Rockies. The bill seeks to safeguard both these species and the lands on which they live. The Northern Rockies is the only place in the lower 48 states where native species and wildlife are protected on lands that are virtually unchanged since Lewis and Clark saw them.
Click here for complete text of the bill.
The Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act: *
Designates as wilderness more than 23 million acres of ecosystems and watersheds in the Northern Rockies;
Connects natural, biological corridors, ensuring the continued existence of native plants and animals and mitigating the effects of global warming; *
Restores habitat that has been severely damaged from roads that were built, creating more than 2,300 jobs and leading to a more sustainable economic base in the region;*
Keeps water available for ranchers and farmers downstream until it is most needed; and
Eliminates subsidized development in the designated wilderness areas, saving taxpayers $245 million over a 10-year period.
