The measure of a real rich man
A Billionaire Divorce -- And Not a Lawyer in Sight
By ROBERT FRANK, The Wall Street Journal..fair is fair in a matter of hours when divorcing."We have always tried to live our lives with dignity and respect," Tim says. "We wanted to do the same in divorce."

The Veil of Secrecy-The Steve Shine Divorce
The public right to know and Steve Shine's need to be protected from embarrassment has swung in favor of the Teflon attorney. According to Fort Wayne.Com, "a special judge has sealed the divorce filings of Allen County Republican Party Chairman Steve Shine."
But what I found to be more interesting read was what I found on Indiana Law Blog. On ILB there is an article about a judge deciding the public right to know weighted more in favor of the public than hiding salacious information contained in the documents. The reason cited by the judge, "the openness of court files must be maintained, so that the public ... can be assured that there is no favoritism shown to the rich and the powerful." There is an article also about the docket sheets.
However, a judge decided to keep sealed a divorce record because of the financial records of other folks. In other words the disclosure of the financial information of others was the controlling reason, the divorce record "contained trade secrets and confidential financial information, which are specifically excepted from the public access provisions of the Public Records Act." Under section 4(a), trade secrets See footnote and confidential financial information are mandatory exceptions. Public records containing mandatory exceptions, such as trade secrets and confidential financial information, “may not be disclosed by a public agency, unless access to the records is specifically required by a state or federal statute or is ordered by a Court under the rules of discovery.” I.C. § 5-14-3-4(a)(4), (5).
A decision to seal all or part of a public record must be based on findings of fact and conclusions of law, showing that the remedial benefits to be gained by effectuating the public policy of the state declared in section 1 of this chapter are outweighed by proof by a preponderance of the evidence by the person seeking the sealing of the record that:
(1) a public interest will be secured by sealing the record;
(2) dissemination of the information contained in the record will create a serious and imminent danger to that public interest;
(3) any prejudicial effect created by dissemination of the information cannot be avoided by any reasonable method other than sealing the record;
(4) there is a substantial probability that sealing the record will be effective in protecting the public interest against the perceived danger; and
(5) it is reasonably necessary for the record to remain sealed for a period of time.
Hmmm, check, check, oh it must be for the 3rd reason that the judge decided to seal the record, prejudicial effect. But how did the file fall under any of the
5-14-3-4(a) exceptions and there is a whole laundry list.
But, what about my first amendment rights to know something, or just to read the docket sheets?
I'm still reading.

Fort Wayne's Obama--Matt Kelty
Fort Wayne, Indiana may not be hyped by all the attention United States Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) is getting in running for president and beating out their hometown favorite son, Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN). Perhaps Fort Wayne voters are thinking politics are local and if that's the case, the heavily republican laden district may have their eyes and ears more focused on their hometown race for Mayor.
Reports from the local newspapers, suggest that the incumbent Graham Richard, Democratic Mayor may not run for reelection. And that set the stage for an early nomination battle from two republican hopefuls, Nelson Peters and Matthew Kelty. Matthew Kelty stepped smack dab center ring without any hesitation and announced his candidacy. While a more timid newly elected Allen County Commissioner, Peters, tested the ropes with a exploratory team before fully committing to the race.
On November 16, 2006, Peters officially announced he would run for mayor. Peters announcement came after forming an exploratory committee on October 12,2006, two day after Kelty officially announced he would run for mayor. The more confident Kelty formed an exploratory committee during the early spring of 2006.
Both men are in, where as the democrats are a no show.
Peters is currently serving as secretary of the Allen County Board of Commissioners. Nelson Peters was elected 1st District Allen County Commissioner in November 2004. He took office on January 1, 2005.
Kelty currently does not hold an elected political office. However, Kelty is no stranger to politics. In 2004, Kelty challenged long time democratic political leader, Win Moses for the seat on Indiana House of Representative. Moses, an old time veteran politician won by a mere handful of votes.
The fact that Peters, who recently was elected to Allen County Commission position may have generated some buzz as to how serious was he at the time he took the oath for the position. Certainly, Kelty, would be at least one individual who would be interested in the answer to that question.
Kelty, an architect by trade, is methodically putting together his campaign to draw in the taxpayers to participate in the race for Mayor. According to his website, Kelty, has plans for a new Fort Wayne with "innovation, invention and prosperity".
Kelty similar to Obama has an appeal that reaching out to the taxpayers while at the same time appeals to the needs of the small business owners. Kelty campaign is favored with a more inclusive participation that does not resonate from belonging to the republican party.
Peters campaign appeared to tainted with the prominent party members as he selected the Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce to make his announcement for Mayor. The old guard rule of the prominent party members believes in appointment to a political office rather than the voters determining its representative candidate. Even more interesting, the Chamber is demanding consolidation whereas Kelty is suggesting a limited consolidation.
Both republicans have hired campaign managers, with the Steve Shine distraction some damage control would be needed. Kelty may be counting on Peters' run for Mayor to face the same fate as Bayh's brief moment as a Presidential hopeful...brief.

Steve Shine Motion, Motion, and mores Motion
A Motion was filed to seal record in regards to the marriage of Laura Shine and Steven Shine with memorandum attached. Other motions were filed December 7, 2006 covering respondent's (Steven Shine) motion to strike petitioner's (Laura Shine) petition for dissolution, answer to petitioner's petition for dissolution and respondent's affirmative response, and motion to strike petitioner's motion for emergency and expedited appointment of special judge and for sanctions in regards to the marriage of Laura Shine and Steven Shine.
Including in the record was an ante nuptial agreement, listing separate values of the parties. An ante-nuptial agreement is a legal binding contract. However, it is rebuttal under condition found to be unconscionable, according to the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act which was drafted in 1983. Indiana has similar provisions incorporated in its code.
In September 21, 2006, the Supreme Court in Kentucky declared an ante-nuptial unconscionable. Here's more information about ante-nuptial, sometimes called a prenuptial, or premarital agreement.

Steve Shine Wife's Demands
Charles Pratt recused himself when Laura Shine attorney, Michael Loomis requested a special judge, according to the petition filed with the Allen County Clerk's Office. Mrs. Shine petition voiced some concerns about conflict of interest within the Allen County pointing to the fact that the Allen County Sheriff Office came out to her home to oust her from her home (see below). The Allen County Sheriff protects the judges of the Circuit and Superior Court including staff members. I thought they were to protect the citizens no wonder there were so many knuckle heads running around trying to intimidate folks. Sheriff Ken Fries I suggest youput them in a car to patrol the streets, they are not protecting anyone. Some of these officers can barely move but are carrying guns. Now, if a criminal was to enter the building do you think they would be able to run them down, before they got to the judges' chamber? I don't think so. I know you got this big thing going right now to prevent folks from upsetting the high and mighty judges who sit on the bench for a few hours a day. And you call that beefed up security, when it gives more privileges to the folks who work in the courthouse.
Back to the petition of Laura Shine (and the court )the reason I combine the two they are almost inseparable. The petition claims, " The Allen County Sheriff Department also involved itself in the service of a protective order secured by Respondent on November 28, 2006 against petitioner that were outside the purview of the Sheriff's role in the service of a protective order and reflected the influence of respondent." Hmmm, the officers are not attorney, it would it seems to being telling the court.
The petition continues, " Respondent has made a number of false public comments about the incidents of November 9, 2006 and about his marriage and family." Suggesting that these false public comments have been in print and in the electronic media. The petition goes on to suggest that the petitioner believes that the respondent's political reach may unduly prejudice the treatment and outcome of her case..citing one example of this that one Allen County Judge was summoned by respondent to the marital residence on or about November 12, 2006 only three days after the incident being investigated by the Indiana State Police on November 9, 2006 in an effect to by respondent to intimidate petitioner.
More telling about this woman's character is found in her Verified Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. In this petition, the petitioner request the court to determine the appropriate arrangements for custody and visitation of the minor children..
The petitioner request the court issue an order making equitable distribution of the property between the parties. And that the court award the petitioner reasonable attorney fees and costs of this action. Mrs. Shine it appears seem to be simply asking the court to follow the guidelines in granting a divorce in this matter.
Let me do my disclaimer here, I have no interest in the outcome of this matter, I am only blogging about an issue that may impact the African-American community.

(Still scratching my head and trying to figure that article out?)
Um, was there a point? I got so lost in trying to figure out the ebonics I couldn’t follow the flow - oh yeah, because there wasn’t any…
In regards to the Ken Fries topic, I wonder who she felt was a good appointment that met her criteria? Was there even someone that she can justify as being passed over for such positions? Maybe that would have shed a bit of light on her rant…
In regards to her Steve Shine rant, did she like leave a few sentences out???
Maybe that other person will come on her blog and translate what was said…
trying2hide Says: November 29th, 2006 at 5:27 pm
Soon to be official Sheriff Fries had so many to pick from in that diversity base! Golly gee wiz! I suppose that is why he chose the SWAT and officers with the most training? Maybe he should have picked rookies? Oh and next they can change to day-glo uniforms! Then in the dark the criminals won’t be at a disadvantage by not being able to see the officers sneak up on them! Give me a break!

Laura Shine vs. Steve Shine
Well, it did not take a rocket scientist to know that the public battle in the Shine household was going to get ugly. If the fact, that an attorney filed an ex-parte order to oust his wife of 24 years from the marital, did not give a warning. Then the filing for divorce by the wife should have put to rest any doubt that not only was it going to get ugly but the media was going to do as much too distance itself from the mess. Some in the media would label the mess as not news worthy.
I beg to differ. Especially when the media had no problem reporting the statements by the leader of the pack, Steve Shines to sway the public in this private matter. A private matter that is until an investigation for allegation domestic violence charge was not recanted. Can you recant or would that be redact once it is reported? The media suggest that it was only a moment of tension, when a man snatching things from a wife,. Some in the media even suggest that it does not rise to the level of man b***hslapping his wife. In other words, if the hand did not touch the body than you must acquit.
Well guess what the wife has an sworn affivadit on file alleging some outrageous behavior that would give the public a moment pause about the king of spin for the Republican Party. And if there was ever the fear of wife getting to tell her version to the media, the ideal of her hiring an attorney who earlier sued him must have taken all the spit one could muster to swallow in order to catch a breathe. The sworn affidavit alleges that," petitioner has for quite some time intimidated me with psychological, emotional and verbal abuse,..." I refused to type the allegation about the minor.
There's more, " petitioner is engaged in frequent and routine drug use(specifically marijuana) and he is regularly under the influence of marijuana in the presence of the children." These and other statements were alleged in an emergency motion to support the wife request to dissolve the ex-parte order to a special judge. Now those were statements for dissolution of the protection order. There were other allegations of Bill Clintonism behavior of being unable tit be faithful to his wife.
But remember none of this stuff is news worthy and it probably too close to a lot of folks homes so probably won't make it to the 6:00 0'Clock news. But, if some of the statements are true, Laura Shine is in battle with more than her husband and I don't mean the children.

Are you ready for the question? Is Douglas Foy a smoke screen to quiet a bigger fire?
The timing of criminal charges against Douglas Foy has a certain ring about it. It was bad enough for the man to lose his job, but I can't believe that he will sit mute facing over 30 years in prison for dumb political mess. Why has the prosecutor office sent forth charges against Douglas Foy at the same time when the Republican Party Chair is being investigated for possible criminal charges? I am sure that a plea bargain will lessen the sentence for Foy, but a day in prison for corrupt practices by a party is too harsh.
I reflect back below with earlier postings.
Advance Indiana points out Ben Lanka of the Journal-Gazette reports that forgery has occurred under the watch of the Allen County Election Board, Pam Findlayson. Not once, not twice but a dozen or more signatures for Republican candidates were forged. Doug Foy,respresenting the Republican party was alleged to be the culprit in the story. Foy is just the fall guy, the real culprit is the ploy embedded in the lack of checks and balances among the two party system here in Allen County.Read more.
The Democratic leadership is debating whether or not sufficient evidence is available to prove whether or not a criminal investigation is warranted. According to a story by Ben Lanka, Kevin Knuth is fledging outrage, while Andy Down is pondering or pandering over the issue in the media.Read more of this posting.
Now, wait just a minute. What is this farce, Douglas Foy is being thrown under the bus? What officials gave Foy, the extended time beyond the permissible time for filing declaratation of candidates? Do we really believe Foy was the only wrongdoer?
Read more.
Interesting editorial exempting certain officials role in the wrongdoing, "Local voters can take some solace in knowing that a sharp-eyed election official detected apparently invalid signatures and that County Republican Chairman Steve Shine promptly and responsibly fired Foy when learning of the problem." More likely, the cover up was about to be blown. How incompetence do you have to be to not see the different between a signature that says Bob on one line and directly under a different signature, Robert? Read the rest of the posting.
I reflect back below with earlier postings.
Advance Indiana points out Ben Lanka of the Journal-Gazette reports that forgery has occurred under the watch of the Allen County Election Board, Pam Findlayson. Not once, not twice but a dozen or more signatures for Republican candidates were forged. Doug Foy,respresenting the Republican party was alleged to be the culprit in the story. Foy is just the fall guy, the real culprit is the ploy embedded in the lack of checks and balances among the two party system here in Allen County.Read more.
The Democratic leadership is debating whether or not sufficient evidence is available to prove whether or not a criminal investigation is warranted. According to a story by Ben Lanka, Kevin Knuth is fledging outrage, while Andy Down is pondering or pandering over the issue in the media.Read more of this posting.

Too Quiet in the Blogosphere
This weekend was hot. First, I read on the blogosphere folks backing down on the domestic violence and protective order. I'm thinking wait a minute, I thought these were individual blogs and not representative of either party. Read this on Indiana Law Blog. No one is name callings or exaggerating the truth, what what? The truth of the matter, is that the bloggers have not posted anything that was not true. And that is based on the evidence, the protective order itself. In Saturday's paper, Steve Shine is quoted as having checked certain boxes on the ex-parte order. And on that order was several options to check and Shine checked only that he was a victim of domestic violence. But Shine did not stop there, Shine went on to describe two incidents. The two incidents had the date of the 12th and the 27th, nothing was described about the November 9th incident. On the blogosphere, the incident for the November 9th incident comes from a police log. Had it not been for the blogosphere addressing a concern that a cover up to keep the public from being the informed public they should be, the facts may not have never hit the light of day. No one is spreading rumors, gossips or rumors of rumor. This is totally different from what happens on the blog that calls me a SAMBO, other insults and specifically targets individuals with lies. No comparison. Read Nancy Nall blog on the Steve Shine incident.
Now turning to Evan Bayh, good luck for someone picking you for Vice-President, because there is no way you will be selected for President. I have stated this before, and I have seen nothing to change my mind. I understand that you believe that because your dad did something, and Indianapolis selected you for governor twice, that you could think this way. But, you are hanging out with the big boys and girls now, we are talking folks with brains, not local politics. You know where folks have the power to do favors for folks, wink wink. Nancy Pelosi has a better chance of becoming President. But it is a good to put your face out there for fundraising, to build up that kitty, Evan. It's better than that 21st Century program that you keep talking about.
And last but not least, I watched two exciting games over the weekend, USC and Tennessee. I'm still waiting for East Allen County Paul Harding big celebration..go Hawks.

Signs of Abuse
Hypocrites ! Read in the journal-gazette. I have not seen or heard one so-called raced white woman speak out in the media about the Steve Shine ongoing saga. Hypocrites, who collect money and do little if any work to better the lives of women, just actors standing in the shadow of male privilege.
Steve Shine Ex-Parte Order for protection
Leo Morris states on his blog that it was just a little tension in the household..
So, what will Morris say about the new development of a protective order by a man against his loving wife?
Interesting, that it was and is the blogosphere that asked the questions that the media would not have because Steve Shine is concerned the big voice and the man with the Republican Party. The media definitely did not wanted to paint Shine in a bad light, these are his colleagues and friends. Just like I tell young folks, when a nice person does criminal acts, they have committed a criminal act. It does not matter that you like the person, its still a criminal act. A criminal is a criminal, just some are punished more severely than others. The news media determine which criminal life they will drag in the mud, and they are trying to keep a safe distance from Shine's mud.
Kevin Knuth erases his accusations from his Dem web, which should not have been there in the first place. If this was a website for the Democratic party, it should be used to highlight the accomplishments of the party. Knuth could have established a separate blog for the bickering between the two party leaders Besides what Shine does is not Knuth's problem, Knuth's problem is growing the party with competent folks.
If this family dispute was so tame, why did the family attorney file for a protective order?
Second why is the wife out of the house? Don't the Republican protect their virtuous women? The first one on the courthouse stairs it appears will set the tone of this dispute.
Shine files for protective order, after, "[n]early three weeks after police responded to a 911 call from his house to investigate an alleged domestic battery, Allen County Republican Party Chairman Steve Shine has filed for a protective order against his wife.
Shine, a family law attorney, filed the order Tuesday against Laura Beth Shine, according to Allen Superior Court documents. Shine, 54, declined comment, and his wife could not be reached for comment.
The protective order says Beth Shine, 51, must stay away from her husband and the Shines’ home in southwest Allen County. A hearing is scheduled Dec. 21 on the matter" according to the local brief."
The protective order was granted on November 28, 2006 and a hearing scheduled for December 21, 2006 at 1:00 p.m. The description of the incident was, "I was asleep in our bedroom when respondent without provocation etnered room ripped covers off bed, turned radio on as loud as possible began throwing things at me, broke personal property, grabed (sp) glass ashtray or container, threatend (sp) to hit me with it and kill me."
Question, how loud was the radio and how heavy was the ashtray?
On 11/27/ 2006 respondent emailed me renewing her threats, continues the desciption of incidents. Email was attached, but I will not repeat the exact words on this posting. However, the email was vague seeking the least hurtful way to resolve an issue.
A PROTECTIVE ORDER--why would Shine fear for his life and ban his wife from their children home? Or Steve Shine trying to get possession of the home? The order is good for two years.

Steve Shine and Random Acts of Racialist Action
I understand some folks had some problems understanding this post. So I am reposting:
Contagious shooting. Yep, they are trying to justify the latest shooting of an unarmed African-American male as police training, and not just straight out of control police officers. Contagious shooting, they are say is when one officer fires and the other officers starting shooting automatically.
Here's another one, a 14 year old boy is beaten to death, in a boot camp setting. A nurse was standing by during the beating. To justify the boy's death, it was a blood issue. Yeah, it was the blood of an African-American.
Here's another one. Raced white (jewish Republican leader) wife calls in report of domestic violence. If you are restrained from doing something, it's is physical. The police shows up but the report is not available and action delayed.
Here's another one, Ken Fries, the newly elected Allen County selected his new support team. Not one person who was not a female nor African-American in the bunch. So much for inclusion in 2006 under younger leadership.
What Michael Richards did reflects on the ordered steps of the majority of folks who are in charge of something. The majority don't give a hoot nanny about the life of an African-American. And if they (those in leadership position) are given unfettered discretion to circumvent the laws in discipline, moreso than not they are likely to deny African-Americans their civil rights under this type of power.
The good ole boys network has to surround themselves with the same mentality (folks with the same way of thinking), to continue the old traditions of Jim Crow. They don't want different they just want to pretend life is better in their world when they lie to each other. In this article, Steve Shine shines light on the false perceptive that the Republican Party are the standard bearer of truth, patriot saints and family values role models, when he states, "I want the public to know how challenging it can be for families: finances, children's problems, drugs," he said. "Family values are important but life isn't perfect. I have yet to find an Ozzie and Harriet. This is part of life." In other words for those who can't read between the lines, Republicans ain't all that and a bag of chips or the Republicans are just ordinary people or the Republicans do dumb stuff or the Republicans are not the next best thing to ice cream. Geez.
Conservative, family values, anti-same sex marriages..just code words for those folks who need to belong to some group. Or for group thinkers or for folks who need to belong to a party that had lots of Klu Klux Klan members who were evil hatemongers. Or are they still hatemongers? Do you think these folks have changed?

Sharp eye editor
Interesting editorial exempting certain officials role in the wrongdoing, "Local voters can take some solace in knowing that a sharp-eyed election official detected apparently invalid signatures and that County Republican Chairman Steve Shine promptly and responsibly fired Foy when learning of the problem." More likely, the cover up was about to be blown. How incompetence do you have to be to not see the different between a signature that says Bob on one line and directly under a different signature, Robert?
Hold on there is more media manipulation, "Credit election director Pam Finlayson for noting inconsistencies in candidate signatures." Wow, credit Mrs. Finlayson, for calling in the candidate to give testimony and than calling the Republican Attorney David Wright, you think.
Now the remedy for such wrongdoing comes straight from the hen house...the bipartisan election board, "Now, it will be up to the election board Republican representative David Wright, Democratic representative Andy Downs and County Clerk Therese Brown, a Republican, to determine what steps should be taken." Bipartisan?
Did I count that right? Two Republicans and one Democrat? Now how lopsided is this vote in favor of the Republican wrongdoer, Mr. Foy? The media suggest the voters probably not as sharp as that "sharp-eyed election official", to see through this media pandering to the status quo corrupt political maneuvering.

The Turkette/GOP Connection: A R&F Investigation
Now some of you are obviously wondering why I spend time and energy focusing on Dan Turkette. It probably appears as if I have personal animosity towards Mr. Turkette, and that is true to a point. But I think there is a legitimate story here.
According to The Better Business Bureau of Northeastern Indiana, Daniel Turkette is the principal owner and vice president for the web design company TEK interactive. TEK maintains the websites for both the Allen County Republican Party, and the Ken Fries for Sheriff campaign.
When Mr. Turkette attacks Democratic candidates and members of the local Democratic Party, I do not believe that he is doing so at the request of the Allen County GOP. I'll leave it to the readers to judge the actions of a man who takes money from the Allen County GOP, and then regularly smears members of the local Democratic Party on his website.
As I reported in a previous post Mr. Turkette has called Robert Rouse a "dope smoking" liberal, among other things. Mr. Rouse is currently a precinct committee head for the Allen County Democratic Party. So here is Mr. Turkette, smearing an opposition party official, all the while cashing checks from the Allen County Republican Party.
Let's take a closer look at the type of people the Allen County GOP employs, shall we?
Here is a post from Mr. Turkette's blog with the headline "Wetbacks Beware." I wonder if Ken Fries agrees with this sentiment. How does Steve Shine feel about employing somebody who expresses himself this way? I think these are questions worth asking for the voters of Fort Wayne.
It is worth noting that there are facts that suggest Mr. Turkette has little if any influence on GOP officials in Indiana. Turkette is currently the target of a state sponsored lawsuit for failing to provide Indiana consumers with goods/and or services they had paid for.
Adding It All Up:
- latent racism
- poor business ethics
- smearing political opponents
This is the kind of person the Allen County GOP employs.
Update: Here is a post in which Mr. Turkette basically accuses my mother of alcoholism. It's unfortunate that this is the type of disgusting attack that can result when I dare to criticize the Republican Party of Indiana.
Thanks to Craig.
