The Lease Between The Church And The Center
This lease will show you that the Cumberland Project was not about access for the disable. It was not about giving comfort to those with back injuries, it was for Jenkins. For Jenkins as long as the Shepherd Center was in his home, he didn't have to leave. Bill's son could stay there also with his care giving meth maker. An island is a good place to cook, isn't William.

Another real gem by BTW and company. I especially like the part on page 4 where it states that it is effective January 1, 2006 without regard to the actual date of signing.
I'm guessing that some real scurrying about had to be done after Stein, Jackson and Viola visited the "clinic" in June, 2007.
What a gang of thieves and on Cumberland National Seashore. Shame, shame, shame on all of you.
I wonder who thought this scheme up?
When I saw Dr. Jenkins in court, he just did not strike me as being sufficiently mentally agile to cook this up and pull it off himself.
No doubt that this was Smith's scheme from the beginning. Jenkins could hardly say no since Smith did not arrest him up in the early 90's
on the 3 or 4 court orders from Coweta County.
Truly partners in crime.
I sat right behind Mr. Jenkins in court. Believe me when I say he did NOT come up with this on his OWN. The guy could hardly stay awake. He constantly asked his attorney if he could leave. And really didn't understand why he could not leave or at least stand up during the proceedings.
Camden County is currently going through a revamping stage. All of the incumbents will hopefully be voted out of office. The Sheriff is set to find out his faith next month. Cisco Fairley and others are being investigated for defrauding many customers. The Camden County School System will be forced to file charges to recoup taxpayers money, "if no one was on the take".
The list goes on and on.
But the great part about this day is the article written by no other than Johnathan Maziarz of the Tribune & Georgian. He is the one bright spot in all of this negativity currently overshadowing Camden County.
I thank Johnathan for endorsing this blog. It is one of the only outlets for Free Speech in Camden County. Other sites (Topix) edit information to benefit elected officials. But this site provides valuable information to benefit the entire community as a whole.
Rick Rogers you are a godsend, keep up the good work. Camden County needs more workers like you. People interested enough in what is right to sacrifice themselves and their families.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH PREVAILS HERE!!!!

Suit seeks access to Golden Gate national park
Elizabeth Fernandez, Chronicle Staff Writer
Friday, February 8, 2008
On a recent outing to Fort Mason, Peter Mendoza encountered one frustrating
obstacle after another. The sidewalk curbs were too high for his
wheelchair, handicapped bathrooms could not be found, and when he finally
tried to enter the administration building, there was no ramp in front.
"So I went to the back and pushed the designated button," said Mendoza, 41,
a Berkeley resident who was born with cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair.
"But nobody answered. Eventually I went around to the front again and
flagged somebody down. This happens all the time."
Because of experiences like his, a disability rights organization filed a
class-action lawsuit Thursday against the Golden Gate National Recreation
Area and the National Park Service. The suit, lodged in federal court,
contends that people with mobility and vision disabilities are being denied
access to some of the nation's largest and most beautiful urban parks.
Golden Gate National Recreation Area, covering a broad swath of 75,000
acres between San Mateo and Marin counties, includes such landmarks as
Alcatraz, the Presidio, the Marin Headlands, Fort Mason and Muir Woods.
"These are parks that many visitors to San Francisco as well as local
residents want to see," said Julia Pinover, an attorney with Disability
Rights Advocates, a nonprofit law firm based in Berkeley that filed the
suit. "These areas are not only naturally beautiful but historically
significant."
According to the suit, the federal recreation area is discriminating
against people with disabilities by systematically excluding them from such
areas as restrooms, visitor centers, trails, pathways. Federal laws since
1973 have obligated Golden Gate National Recreation Area to provide
reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities, Pinover said.
The suit, which seeks unspecified damages, is aimed at forcing the Park
Service to take steps to assure that people with disabilities have access.
At the Marin Headlands, she said, the visitor center has a ramp, "but to a
third-party evaluator, it was so steep as to be inaccessible and dangerous.
Alcatraz offers a tram, but it only holds two wheelchairs - they just don't
have the capacity. At Muir Woods, one of our plaintiffs has had problems
with paved trails. GGNRA hasn't kept the paved trails in a condition that
allowed her to use them."
Chris Powell, a spokeswoman for the national park, said that a review has
already begun.
For about a year, the two sides have been discussing ways to bring the
agency into compliance.
Powell, expressing surprise and disappointment at the suit, said she
believed the talks were "fruitful."
The advocacy law firm disagrees.
"It was our impression that this just wasn't a priority for them," said
Pinover. For Mendoza, who grew up in Marin, being outdoors is a joy, but a
visit to one of the national parks can turn into a disheartening obstacle.
"Barriers have existed in these parks for years," said Mendoza, a plaintiff
in the legal action. "I don't expect there to be a solution overnight, but
there's been a law about this for about 20 years. "
And this has what to do with what?
