Editor:
I would like to correct an assertion in your “District Fever” story (Nov. 3). Heidi Walters quotes Manila CSD board member Dendra Dengler as saying an audience member made a comment at a meeting that the president of the board (me) didn’t like and that I wanted to call the police. The fact is this audience member kept interrupting the meeting and refused to stop. He has a history of disruption. About a year and a half ago he threatened to shove the gavel up our previous board president’s ass. The sheriff’s deputies removed and arrested him for that. Ms. Dengler knows this and still misled you with her quote. As for those weighty issues she fed you, we are not raising sewer and water rates, there has been no change in our recreation program in years, there is no current lawsuit over dune restoration, we are not raising or lowering sewer connection fees, and no real financial intrigue. We have carried an interdepartmental debt from recreation and our community center on our books for years, and our auditors have recommended writing it off. Not really a confusing saga. Our sewer and water reserves have increased every year for the last four years. Feel free to actually attend our meetings.
Michael Fennell, Manila

Michael is full of sh*t, he stinks when he walks.
MCSD has no “our auditor” That auditor belongs to the public. The report says to the public that MCSD
misappropriated the spending of the publics sewer money. Michael is full of sh*t.
Robert Johnson CPA, the 2009 audit report on page 24 says: “Michael you gave $241,000.00 of sewer money to parks and recreation.” This is video recorded by Hoodeehoo.com, Michael is full of sh*t.
Nobody was ever arrested at MCSD. There are no arrest records to support Michael claim. This meeting is DVD recorded as proof that Michael is full of sh*t.
The recreation program has been disbanded since the Marty, Recreation program Director quit over a year ago. Michael is full of sh*t.
The only part of what Michael said that is truth is that the sewer reserve funds are greater to day than ever. There is no need for rate increases at MCSD. If fact MCSD should give Manila a refund of about $250,000.00 in over charges.

John Sirrico is the man who threatened Dan Ihara
last year to put the gavel up director Ihara ass. Cops were called and John removed. Thank god John will be busy in Lolita as he is filling a board seat down there that no one else applied for. Good luck Lolita. John is really a swell guy, super intelligent and will be as ass et. Please keep him forever.
Just because John Siricco is disruptive at meetings in Manila where he does not live and just because he threatened the director and just because he tries to intimidate people and just because he is a vet who never got the help he surely needs..does not mean that he is not a sweetie.
He is nothing more than a public meeting ho…
Cant seem to get enough of them meetings
God bless him..he suffers
Wow. Shame on Fennell and Ihara.
Sarico is rough around the edges, but is not dishonest.
Maybe someday if local journalists can remove their nose from our sub-contractors rear-end long enough to open their eyes, count the dead trees, assess the massive erosion account for loss of wetlands, account for loss of wetland monies, loss of geologic structures- Hey- Sarico was right!
New information has surfaced that indicates that Benjamin Franklin is a Vampire and did not die in 1790 as stated by the media of the time. It is speculated that he has currently assumed the identity of one John Sirrico of Lolita, Ca. It’s a shame that at some point during the last 200 years he suffered some sort of traumatic brain injury. However, for someone nearly 306 years old this January, he looks remarkably well, as he doesn’t look a day over 275. He is quite dangerous and the general public would be wise to steer clear of any contact. However ,if for any reason he should be in your vicinity, it is said that he is repulsed by vagina and that it can be used to ward off this undead abomination.
