and the truth shall prevail......... - Page 4

it is very silly to pull stuff like this posting problems like this on public fourms always make it worse. and food stamp fraud is common my sister got a felony charge because she was at the store with my mom but she was the one who slid the card and typed in the number. so dont judge things inless you know the hole truth other than that you are making your self out to be silly. i dont know eather of the people involved in this but from the looks of it if i had a court date i would be there and early not at home or somewhere on my phone on a fourm just my opinion tho

Not exactly criminal court, guys. I've "been in court" for my son's parenting agreement, yet I've never been there, not even once. Isn't that what we pay attorneys for? Well, that's what I do. I go to work and send attorneys to do the same. That's the best use of everyone's time. What would entertaining her in court do? As I said, I could countersue, but to what end? Blood from a rock and all that logic.....  Yes, there are computers in my office. I posted during the time TH was at court. It was really me; aliens didn't take over my login. Not sure why that's a big deal.

Food stamp fraud is common?!  Well, I guess you really do learn something new every day.  I don't have so much as a traffic ticket in my name, so I guess it's all relative. TH and Supakamario have a different spin on "normal" and "common"  or "acceptable" behavior, I guess. To each his own, and he (assuming he's a "he" since he "sold females for sex") does have a great point. People who take long, dramatic sagas to the internet are almost always not telling the straight scoop, as we've seen a whole lot of lately.

A manipulator is a manipulator is a manipulator and will always find a loophole, always find some way to spin things. It's what they do. This is why we have juries and defense attorneys. Steve and Jim should know this better than anyone. For those who might seriously(?) think MULTIPLE previous theft, violence, animal control scandals, etc. are "irrelevant" in a case where things just don't add up,  I'll ask them to think long and hard about whether  THREE people in a family having FELONY charges against them, and a literal block of other offenses (seriously, so large I can't copy and paste them here or I get an error message), including an order of protection and deceit-based offenses, would give you a warm fuzzy feeling about selling them a puppy? 

In this case, it appears the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and the legal drama in that family is more than I would like to be involved in. I'm happy in my dream world where food stamp fraud and other felonies are not common!

Sorry, but her story is so outrageous, it's just not worth my time to go through point by point with a rebuttal. I could have posted my nightmare with her and her threats and all the things that don't add up months ago, but why give people like that attention? Besides that, it's just trashy, imo, to muddy up the board with soap operas and other than a certain sector that thrives on this stuff, I don't think most people enjoy reading it. I just wanted her to GO AWAY, which is why I have been trying to pay her to do so since May. Whether boredom or malice, I'm not sure, but something's made her refuse the easy way and continue on. Hopefully, now she will finally take her blessed money and go away! 

I do enjoy seeing the underdog win, that is always a truth of mine.  Been that way my whole life.

none of this still explains how so many injuries or deformities occurred in one pup.........most of us do not know parties involved on personal level but one thing has always been clear, Jen adores her dogs and will put them before people.........I can almost see her saying "the more people i meet the better i like my dogs"....so there is no way in hell a dog sustained so many injuries in her possession...that alone makes you wonder....and criminal records do not help either....i am sorry but "life" doesn't just happen....persons actions make criminal records...and there is no excuse for it...criminal record does not make anyone a decent person..and if some of us have will power to control ourselfs from making "life mistakes" that create criminal records others should learn to excercise that power and not use the lack of as an excuse...

so what did she do to the poor dog? just seems a bit sick when you read about the injury. How did it happen?

yeah i dont either more so people are just trying to figure out what exactly happend to the pup.

 Maybe reading the article all the way through will help you understand better since you only post what you want........... A severely understaffed Animal Control with every No Kill Shelter bashing them and saying they should too, be no kill escalated to the point the stress literally killed the Director. Norma Spitzbart dropped dead from the stress of being publicly humiliated and constantly drug through the mud for just doing her job. And when all was said and done.....these same agencies walked away from their cause when they got bored with it. Terrible things were said and written about her with NO thought to what it might do to her and her life. She was a 31 year veteran of AC. It was self absorbed people like you who made it a witch hunt and made her life miserable.  As for overtime...with no staff left the lead officer, myself and my son stepped forward to make sure the animals were taking care of. My son was asked to go full time and logged 40 hours a week making his paycheck 82 hours for TWO weeks. Something that everyone seems to overlook. EVERYBODY get's Holiday pay..IF they work the Holiday...kind of a no brainer. So in reality he had TWO hours of overtime for TWO weeks.I took on weekends and all shifts that were not covered. Sometimes cleaning and running the back of house single handed, then come home to my foster animals and starting all over again. Aside from being one of the only ones to step up and fill in at the shelter... I was the ONLY licensed foster home they had. And all this doesn't even compare to the volunteer hours that were put in. I'm very sorry you feel putting hard ,long hours in to take care of helpless animals is a "scandal".  I guess we should have punched out at 5 and left them unfed in their own filth.As you can see below all overtime was sanctioned by the county. Once again...nothing to hide....you will not in any way,shape,or form make me ashamed for anything I've done. I was devoting my life to rescues and shelters before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's eye.


Critics of McHenry County Animal Control repeatedly have questioned the turnover rates at the shelter, where 17 full- and part-time positions are authorized under the county budget.

In five years, 33 workers were hired at Animal Control; 32 workers left or were terminated. From January 2000 to May 2005, the division hired 17 kennel technicians, 14 officers, a clerical worker, and a health educator.

During the same period, 28 workers resigned, two retired, and two were fired.

"It's basically a full rotation through," said Cindy Bethke, the coordinator for Helping Paws cat-transfer program with Animal Control.

But health department Administrator Pat McNulty said the turnover rates for the five year-period were not high relative to the rest of his department.

Since January, all but one employee in the kennel has been replaced. Two kennel techs quit, one moved into a clerical position, and another was fired for not showing up to work within two weeks of his hire.

"I don't see anything unusual," McNulty said. "Those are tough jobs, and they don't pay that well."

Entry-level kennel workers earn $9.30 an hour to start. But for some ex-employees, the low pay was not the problem. College student Lisa Diller worked as a kennel tech for 18 months before leaving for another school last year, but problems in the kennel also contributed to her exit, she said.

"The money was great there, but the way I was being treated was absolutely insane," Diller said.

During her employment, she said, she never received a rabies shot, despite a personnel policy requiring the vaccination. Once, a dog bit her as she was trying to remove it from a cage. When she asked Supervisor Norma Spitzbart to remove the dog while she went to emergency room to get her bleeding finger bandaged, Diller said, Spitzbart told her to do it herself.

Spitzbart referred all questions about Animal Control to administration.

The high turnover rate has led at least partly to large amounts of overtime being paid out.

Employee Catherine Lockwood, who also is at the center of a nepotism controversy at Animal Control, has logged 267 hours of overtime so far this year, more than twice as much as any other employee, and almost 44 percent of all the overtime paid in the department since January. The overtime boosted her pay by more than $4,000 this year.

Someone has to handle the extra work because the kennel is understaffed, McNulty said. Right now, the department is trying to fill a part-time and a full-time position there.

The highest-paid Animal Control officer earned the second-largest amount of overtime; Valerie Schwontkowski garnered almost 105 hours.

Even Lockwood's son, also an employee, has run up big overtime charges, despite working part time.

In one two-week pay period in June, Jason Duoblys was paid for 80.2 regular hours and an additional 14.8 for holiday overtime.

The department will not have to pay those kinds of overtime charges once the staff is at full strength, McNulty said.

Go Back

his truth...her truth....everybodies truth....sure glad I don't associate with some 

TH, thanks for posting rest of the article, but i don't think working overtime is a crime or even a bad thing.....even when it was originally posted it didn't make you look bad in any shape or form....and I would not consider that "bashing" if anything for readers who were not involved in a whole saga of dispute this was showing that you have a job.....thats all...i don't see and i am sure others will agree how this is relevant...we all have jobs and work...and we all get OT....well...almost...some of us are salaried because they dont want to pay OT....LOL.
