I registered a business to sell coupon books, went to the merchants and got them to authorize various coupons, put together a phone room, in Jan. of 87 I approached the local sheriff, A. James LaJoye and offered him a percentage of the sales and 100% of all donations to see that the Safetyville project would be built. He was quoted in the local paper saying that he would open a special account with the county treasurer specifically for Safetyville. I named the coupon books The Shiawassee County Sheriffs Department Safetyville Project and had all donations and checks made out to the Shiawassee County Sheriffs Department. The main idea was to raise awareness of the program and solicit enough in donations to build the city. (*) I thought things was going well for the first time I ever tried anything like this when I got a real boost from the directer of the county Libraries.    I had one of my sales people calling the Libraries to donate coupon books to them, when the Director of the county Libraries called and set-up a meeting with me , her and the Director of the public Libraries so they could get a better idea of what Safetyville was all about. About a week later she put the following article in the local paper...     FUNDING SAFETY..Editor, Argus Press: Ever feel like the world as we ounce knew it is coming to an end? We've got welfare programs, child abuse programs, drug rehabilitation programs, prison work-release programs, ad infinitum. I look at my bi-weekly paycheck and note the extent to which big government is using my hard-earned income to combat the social cancer running rampant across this nation today. Sure, we need stricter, better funded law-enforcement. Sure, we've got to diagnose and treat the disease. My question is: Are we adequately exploring and addressing all viable solutions in order to assure the safety and well-being of generations to come?     In my opinion, Herbert Spencer, (1820-1903), stated it best in "Social Statics" (1851), part 1, chapter 17: "Education has for its object the formation of character." It seems to me that rather than attempting to define and take steps toward the prevention of these social problems, we as taxpayers are trapped in a "Catch 22." Understaffed and underfunded law enforcement agencies across the country can merely react, rather than act toward sensible, long-range solutions to these societal malignancies.     Last week, I became aware of a very special program currently in need of financial support. Byron Eldridge, owner of Can-Do Company of Owosso, has undertaken a promotional campaign involving both telephone solicitation and door-to-door sales of discount coupon booklets in an attempt to raise the necessary funds to put together the Shiawassee County Sheriff Department Safetyville Village Project. The project has been funded in some counties in the state with tax money through the Department of Highway Safety. Unfortunately, Shiawassee County cannot receive the funding in this manner. The coupon book is quite a unique idea, though, as the taxpayers not only get there money back, but can actually save a great deal, while funding a vital community project.     Sheriff James LaJoye and area school district superintendents have endorsed the Safetyville Project. "Safetyville," LaJoye stated in an Argus-Press interview, "teaches good police officer/child relations," and he is hopeful it will bring about, a positive bond between the officers and the kids. I think it is a very necessary, effective program."     I hit the big four-0 earlier on this month, so maybe you view what I'm expounding here as merely female, mid-life crises syndrome. But, if some of you taxpayers out there in Shiawassee County feel as I do, at least take the time to listen when you're approached by one of Can-Do Company's representatives, to what I personally endorse as an imaginative, sensible and cost-effective approach to a very real problem. _ _ _ _ _  _   _ _ _ _ _ _ , Director Shiawassee County Library     (*)With the exception of a jerk that advertised as a printer that didn't even own any printing equipment, a very shady lawyer and a creep that owned the local Speedy Print shop, Gregg Bennett. Unfortunately the sleazy lawyer, Thomas E. Moorhead and the fraudulent printer, Michael O'Heren, wasn't through with me yet, in 1998 they slithered out from under there rocks to team up together along with there dirty little judge the very dishonorable Gerald D. Lostracco and tried ripping me off for no less then $3,000,000 dollars, more about this later. (pg.21)     By Sept. of 1988 I had sold enough books and raised enough in donations to be sure that the school system would have a Safetyville Village, on a tandem trailer all set to go, with zero cost to the school system, that the schools could actually make 100's of thousands off in donations. I gave the Sheriff a check for $1,700, made out to the Shiawassee County Sheriffs Department and had my operators call everyone that had donated money to verify that they had sent checks made out to the Shiawassee County Sheriffs Department thinking that they would have to be put into the county treasury like Sheriff LaJoye said. The money totaled just over $26,700 dollars, more than double the amount I figured it would take to build the project with the excess to be used by the schools for gym equipment etc.     I moved my office to Bay City Michigan, registered it and offered the Bay County Sheriff, Kevin Green, the same deal as in Shiawassee County.  What a disaster!. Sheriff Kevin F. Green had a big drug problem and sent his school Liaison officer to my office every day to shake me down with the threat of closing me down if I didn't pay up on a daily basis. When Green got busted for drugs he was given the choice of resigning or going before a grand jury, of course he took the easy out and resigned so he wouldn't be ratting on the rest of the pigs. OOPS! Honorable politicians. Then there was the sleazy news paper editor R.H. Longstaff that didn't like the competition and printed a bunch of lies about me, and that dirty pile of crap the county prosecutor George Mullison that tried to bust me for fraud. Bay City is Madonna's home town. There was an article in the Bay City times trying to explain away a remark Madonna made. She said she was from a smelly little town in northern Michigan. The times said she must have been referring to Midland Mi. and the smell was from Dow Chemical. Sorry Bay City but that smell is from your dirty Sheriff, News paper editor and Prosecutors office.    I decided I needed a brake, bought a gold detector, went out west, found several ounces of gold nuggets, traded some very rare guns I had ran across with a man that in return for the guns gave me several lbs. of 1950's Czechoslovakian glass beads, some trade beads and several lbs. of blue cobalt beads and taught me how to make Indian pawn jewelry and 5 strand necklaces. This included me helping a Arizona border patrol agent get the goods on a guy that stole several very expensive collector guns. I managed to come out of  this deal with a Smith and Wesson caliber 44 special that the border patrol officer had had mechanized, one of the finest guns I've ever owned. I then went to Miami and sold several necklaces for $400 to $600 dollars each, that took me less than three hours each to make. pg.(23); In 1990 my Mom was ill so I returned home to take care of her and to my dismay I found out that the Safetyville Village I had raised the money for was never built or heard of again after I left in 1988. While being stuck at home through the winter of 90 and into the spring of 1991, I made a model of a Safetyville Village to the exact details I wanted it to be. By the summer of 91 I had everything in mind that I needed to do and purchase for the project and by winter I was ready to get started on it when a friend in Florida died. I returned from Florida, got a building to work in, purchased what I needed to get started and by the first week of Feb. I actually got started on building the project. While this was going on I contacted a friend that was stationed with the Lansing state police to tell him about a skull that a local biker had strapped on his bike, wondering if it could be Joe Kerns, and about Bill Mitchell. I then went on to tell him about a woman that I had been purchasing my medication from. While I was at her house I could see that she had just received several lbs. that was laying on the table when a biker of about 30 yrs. old came out of the bedroom trailed by the woman's 14 year old daughter who was half dressed and looking very high and disheveled. My friend then said that he would have some people get in touch with me that I could introduce to the woman and they would take it from there. He then asked me to check out one of the narcs that might be working with the team that would be working the case, a narc he suspected of selling drugs that was confiscated in drug deals. He described him as being a Mexican and his name was,  (pg.17) Jaime Corona, (23) his undercover name was usually Benny or Mike. I told my friend what I was up to, building Safetyville, and that I would introduce the undercover officer but wouldn't have time for anything else. We left it at that. A day or so later I introduced a female state police undercover officer to the drug dealer, Carol Fisher. Several years later Corona is head of a team that robs this Fisher slut. It was stated in the Argus-Press that the Shiawassee County Sheriffs Department was called to a motel where this Carol Fisher was robbed at gun point of ten thousand dollars, of course the robbers were never caught. In reality she was robbed of $10,000 and several lbs. of pot that she hadn't sold yet that Coronas team had set her up on to purchase.    (pg.17) On Jan. 23rd 2005, A college professor, Carolyn Knonenberg, was beaten, raped and strangled in her class room. A man named Claude McCollum was tried, convicted and sent to prison for Carolyn's murder even though Michigan State Police Detective Lt. Jamie Corona and the Prosecuting Attorney had known that McCollum didn't do it. Corona had seen a video of McCollum proving that he was somewhere else and could not have possible committed the murder. Yet the dirty pile of crap collaborated with the prosecutor and let them put the man in prison for it. McCollum has since been cleared of all charges and released from prison. While Corona is still one of Michigan's finest because he, like officer Provost is so willing to lie under oath to events that never happen, making up entire cases from scratch to convict people of crimes that don't even take place. Most likely Corona Knew who the real killer was and was protecting him. The following statement should include corrupt Judges also, like Judge Lostracco, pg.17 & (pg.20) , Kosz pg.9  &  pg.3  , Mary Brouillette Barglind pg.3 & pg.9,  Kathryn Root,pg.19, and dirty cops like Corona and Provost pg.6 & pg.9, and that list just goes on and on.     Ingham County another example of proliferation of corrupt PA in Michigan         pg.(23)     It is the failure of the Michigan Supreme Court to evoke criminal charges against corrupt Prosecuting Attorney's and lawyers that has resulted in corruption in the Courts and the public harmed.                                                  Ward L. Clarkson pg.16     Published February 13, 2008     Report: Prosecutor knew video cleared McCollum     Tape proves he was elsewhere at time of slaying, detective writes     Kevin Grasha    Lansing State Journal     An Ingham County prosecutor and a detective knew before trial that video evidence showed Claude McCollum was in another building when a Lansing Community College professor was killed, according to a state police report obtained by the Lansing State Journal.     Still, prosecutors went ahead with the case, and McCollum was tried and convicted of murder.McCollum, whose conviction was thrown out last year, is suing multiple agencies for damages. County prosecutors have always maintained they did not know of a 2005 report that described exonerating video evidence until after the trial began.     The September 2007 report says McCollum is seen on a surveillance camera in the lobby of LCC's Technology and Learning Center between 7:38 a.m. and 9:36 a.m. on the morning Carolyn Kronenberg was beaten, raped and strangled in her classroom.     That nearly two-hour surveillance time frame had never before been publicly known, and it raises questions about why prosecutors still pursued the case. Investigators believed Kronenberg was killed on Jan. 23, 2005, between about 8:30 a.m. and 8:45 a.m."As stated in my March 28, 2005 supplementary report, McCollum was visible on camera #7 (TLC lobby) during the entire time period of 7:38 a.m. and 9:36 a.m.," Michigan State Police Detective Sgt. James Young wrote.     Claude McCollum could not be reached for comment."For them to prosecute a person when they knew this information - it's ludicrous," said McCollum's aunt, Carol McCollum of Delta Township. "People trust the system to be fair ... It's disheartening, disillusioning."     Unanswered questions     Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III said in an interview that discrepancies about who knew what about Young's report, and when, led him to ask for an investigation by the State Attorney General's Office. That criminal investigation is ongoing and is looking at the circumstances surrounding the McCollum investigation and trial."I want to know what happened," Dunnings said, adding: "There are some questions surrounding the handling and presentation of this videotape evidence that need to be addressed."     The lead prosecutor at the trial, Assistant Prosecutor Eric Matwiejczyk, declined to comment for this story.     Young could not be reached for comment.     Video re-examined     The September 2007 report was attached to court documents filed last week by McCollum's attorney, Hugh Clarke Jr., who is sparring with prosecutors over the legal language used to dismiss murder and rape charges against the 30-year-old Lansing man. The charges were dismissed last year "without prejudice," meaning prosecutors could refile them at a later date.     Young, who examined video evidence in the case, testified as a witness in McCollum's 2006 trial about video frames showing McCollum going in and out of a computer lab before and after the time of the murder. Prosecutors never questioned Young at the trial about his March 28, 2005, conclusion that McCollum could not have been present at the crime scene.     Other controversy surrounds Young's March 2005 report. The attorney who represented McCollum at his trial says he never received it; prosecutors say it was given to them the day Young testified and they immediately gave it to McCollum's attorney.     Young re-examined the video evidence in September 2007, after it was reported that another man confessed to killing Kronenberg. Using new technology, he was able to definitively assign times to a surveillance video that came to him without time stamps.     He says he showed his findings to a superior, Detective Lt. Jamie Corona. The re-examination essentially confirmed what he'd found two years earlier - that McCollum was visible on the surveillance camera at the time of the murder."It shall be noted that similar showings were done with (LCC) Detective (Rodney) Bahl and the assistant prosecuting attorney prior to the trial," Young wrote.
