Have you noticed that the McNeill supporter never seems to come up with anything concrete that supports his beatification of McNeill.

McNeill has two law degrees (according to him, but unverifiable - he won't even reveal the year in which he received them). If the things that are being attributed to him were not true he would have filed a slander/libel suit long ago.

One has to question the real motivation of a person that can dispute published AMA EC minutes, and other file documents originating from McNeill.

Vince--

You never did respond to my earlier requests to provide a positive spin on Mr McNeill's leadership of D-5 for these many years.

Since you haven't provided any positive info, I'll procede with my original assumption that there is nothing positive.

So, Steve, is it normal or abnormal for a Muncie staffer to serve as a "AMA Advisory Consultant" for a district? Seems odd to me that with 20,000 members in this district that the VP cannot find anyone interested in this position.

Are there other examples of Muncie staffers serving a district in this respect?

Mr McNeill: get with it. Red is not "Tony's buddy" nor his "principle {sic} Campaign Manager". You might be a bit more credible if you would write as an educated man and not in this pigeon-english you tend to use. Just a thought.

With, what, 18 scanners in stock, and only two out, why are some folks STILL not able to get these scanners from you? Are they YOUR personal property?

dennis, it is easy. i have met then both, face to face.
not an iota worth of diference between the two liars.

David Harkey.

This District 5 Frequency Coordinator business that Red Scholefield and his buddy Tony Stillman have been harping on recently has really nothing to do with WHO is qualified to be the Dist 5 Frequency Coordinator. It is 100% politics. Red and Tony's style of politics. Dirty politics. I recently offered the Frequency Coordinator job for District 5 to Tony Stillman and he turned it down. Tony doesn't want to be Contest Coordinator, Tony wants my job. Dist 5 VP. I offered the job to him through his best friend and principal Campaign Manager Red Scholefield. Red replied Tony is too busy assembling a new crew to take over the District and wouldn't have time for the job. Tony's reply was some silly nonsense about I owed him an apology before he would take the job. The funny thing is: The election isn't til NEXT year and Tony isn't even on the ballot yet. As you well know, David, there is nothing those two would not stoop to to bad-mouth me. I am in my 4th year doing my own frequency scanner business and the only person/s to complain are Red and Tony Stillman.

Jim McNeill

I am still astounded that District 5 is the ONLY AMA district that does not have a qualified frequency coordinator. Here is a listing of the frequency coordinators for the various AMA districts:

Frequency Coordinators:

I Joel Chappell

II Dan Williams

III John Cottle

IV Paul Yacobucci

V ---

VI Cal Orr

VII (W) Al Schwartz, (E) Pete Waters

VIII (N) Joe Dumond (S) Gene Kent

IX Steve Mangles

X Eloy Marez

XI Phil Tallman

Although Mr. McNeill claims that he has done this for several years without complaint, I do know that there have been complaints and concerns expressed about this void.

Again, I wonder what Mr. McNeill's qualifications are to serve as District 5's frequency coordinator? When I see names like Pete Waters and Eloy Marez on other districts, it is embarassing that this position is held by someone who has publically bragged that he has never held a transmitter.

if the man is doing the job why should we worry, what is the concern are you mad because you want the job and he wont give it to you. I asked for it and he wouldnt give it to me and i am a friend so i decided to let him do it himself.

goodnight and godspeed

dennis w. martin sr

First, He is NOT doing the job. He has refused to send equipment to people or clubs that do not support him!!!!!

Second, Dennis, Do you have a clue as to what the duties of an AMA VP are? Do you have a clue as to how he is suppose to use his AVPs?

Goodnight and God help District V.

Red S.

sorry red i guess he likes me better than you, but that is his decision he has always sent me equiptment when i asked for it, i guess that you can catch more flyes with sugar than vinegar, Red dont get upset with me all i want to do is be sure everyone see's both sides.

goodnight and godspeed

Dennis,

Why should being friends with Mr. McNeil have anything to do with having access to AMA equipment? Do I have to be friends with the people at the Department of Motor Vehicles to get a driver's licence? No. Do I have to promise the state politicians that I will vote for them to get a Drivers Licence? No. If I voted against the state politicians do they refuse to give me a drivers licence? No.

Basically, Mr. McNeil uses the frequency scanners to further his election chances. This is truly shameful, and as his friend you should tell him so.

keith

you are so very right and i applaud you for your thoughts and ideas as this is what makes our world go around.

We have a election coming up and wish the best canditate all the luck available.

Whoever wins i will support him and what he stands for.

Huh?

Is the man doing the job? What are the duties of a VP and the Frequency Coordinator and is he fulfilling these responsibilities?

So, what has he done, besides give out Roberts' Rules, first aid kits, and take snaps of important, very important and very very important people that fly peachy planes?

I'm open-minded, give us a positive spin on Jim McNeill's leadership.

I want the best for this District, and someone who reports on the "Junior Challenge" sponsored by the JR Radio may not be knowledgeable about r/c radio equipment. I do not want the FC position, but feel that someone competent should fill the position.

I'm glad that you decided to let Jim do it himself.

So what does like or dislike have to do with sending out AMA equipment? I'm glad that you agree that he makes it a political issue.

Dennis.

Have you read the AMA by-laws where it outlines the duties of the VP and his relationship with his AVPs? What appointments is the VP required to make?

After reading them and thinking on it do you think the present VP is following the by-laws in this regard.

Does he publish any more contact information other than their phone numbers? Do you believe that only two of his AVPs have an e-mail address?

Why do you think the last list of AVPs appeared in the March issue of MA - April, May and June are on the street - sans any list of AVPs - only listing himself as Frequency Coordinator.

Check the AMA web page for commitees McNeill is serving on. Check the AMA web page for motions made to the EC by McNeill.

Are you really being represented by the best man?


We don't need a VP elected by luck. We need one elected by informed members of District V. Please join us in electing Tony Stillman in 2004.

I will be spreading the word at Joe Nall today and tomorrow.

District V needs a person that's willing to work with all - not just some - of the people in our area.

Politics pi$$ me off... get someone in there that wants to help the hobby/sport grow in the Southeast.

I have some friends in pretty high places. I'm planning on making this a topic of discussion with them this weekend at the Joe Nall.

Hope Jim's there to defend himself in front of them.

Did he show?

Red S.

Not that I am aware of. I spoke with two people that are directly responsible for the Joe Nall and other activities that occur at Hartness and they had not seen him as of Saturday around noon.

I did not see Jim at the Joe Nall, however I did see a couple of Assistant VP's, Mike Gregory, Richard Jackson.

Our club currently has a frequency scanner from Jim. Club secretary ordered it for our use.

I do agree on one main point. Jim is definitely a Politician, and it is sad some of the things he does to fellow AMA members. I can not support Jim for re-election at any time in the future.

From some of the threads I have read here on RC Universe, I have seen several people I would consider as good canditates for D5, however only one has stated he is running against Jim, and I will support his bid to become D5 VP.
