From Sharon Kramer~QuanTEM Labs Jan 10 Newsletter~False Light

[Guest guest]

To My Many Friends in the IAQ and Integrity in Science/PR/Media Industries,

See forwarded from QuanTEM Labs Newsletter of Jan 2010.

It is amazing what lengths some will go to, to promote a litigation

defense argument that anyone who says mold can harm contrary to the interests

of

the insurance industry, should repeatedly be held out in false light.

QuanTEM Labs (_www.quantem.com_ (http://www.quantem.com) ) out of Oklahoma

chose to run an excerpt from that horrid 2008 false light writing by

LAWeekly regarding my family and the mold issue in their Jan 2010 newsletter. A

quick read of what they chose to site and one can see it was a mean spirited

endeavor...within the same newsletter that their President, Barnett,

discussed the wonderful spirit of holiday giving in Oklahoma.

QuanTEM Labs blasted the newsletter out to the remediation industry

nationwide. I have asked them nicely 5 times (and not so nicely the 6th time)

that they blast out a retraction. To date, I have not even received the

courtesy of a return phone call from the owners or marketing person of this

" professional " IAQ lab.

So you all know, there is still pending litigation over this matter.

Contrary to the false light of LAWeekly, " investigative " journalist,

Heimpel and their " news' editor, Jill , I am not single handedly

responsible for all mold litigation throughout the US.

I would never force my daughter with Cystic Fibrosis to sleep in a dirty

old trailer. I could not keep a trailer in my drive if I wanted to, My

CC & R's would never permit it. My husband is not a criminal and I do not blame

the fact that I have aged nine years...in the past nine years... on mold.

Nor do I run a worldwide mold campaign from a dark, dirty hovel behind

drawn blinds. And I am not 56 years old, even today. I was 52 when this

article was published.

If you received this " news " letter from QuanTEM Labs, please know that

this is a fraudulent article they site to that has been very hurtful to my

family, who are innocent bystanders of my speaking out of a deceit in science

that has been mass marketed to the courts over the mold issue in interest

of the insurance industry. The underlying matter is still in litigation.

QUANTEM CHRONICLE an informative newsletter for Consultants, Engineers &

Home Inspectors Message from Barnett, President

" Friends, it is now 2010, the parties are over, it's time to get back to

work and go forward with the new year.

I hope everyone enjoyed a happy holiday season. We had a great Christmas

with family, friends and an unusual guest this year, a WHITE CHRISTMAS....

The interesting part was the number of drivers who stopped to help those in

trouble. Everywhere you looked there were people helping to push, pull and

shovel fellow travelers' cars back onto the road. I'm sure these people

have no idea how much of an affect they had on the holidays of those stranded.

Not asking for pay, just out there in the cold lending a helping hand.

Just like in business, life requires we all pitch in to get the job done. "

Have a great New Year!

E. Barnett

" The Toxic Mold Rush: California Mom Helps Fuel an Obsession

The old trailer where she forced her daughter to sleep in the bad

days takes up most of the driveway. Her home sits at the end of

the cul-de-sac of upper-middle-class homes in San Diego's North

County. Odors from two overweight dogs have permeated the

house, sinking into the dark-brown rug, and rising from tracks of

dirt along the floor. It's a scene of disorder: The living room

couches are much too large, the cabinets are crammed with bric-abrac

and papers brought from the old house after the leak. After

the world changed.

It is here, in a small room behind drawn wooden shutters, that

Sharon Kramer maintains her national, sometimes global crusade

against mold. She sits at a desk piled with articles she is working

on, journals on indoor air quality and scientific reports. And there is

dust everywhere, as if nobody has been in the room in a very long

time. " I just don't understand why this guy is being such a hardass, "

the 56-year-old says over the phone to a local bureaucrat,

her thick fingers nervously tracing on the notepad in front of her.

The skin on her face is loose from age and fluctuations in weight. But she

blames it all on the mold. Her

lips are pursed in measured anger. " My husband will pay the fine, but he

shouldn't have a misdemeanor. This is a small town and I don't think this new

attorney understands how things work. "

Mr Heimpel,

I would guess that the purpose of this email would not be a surprise to

you. Your mold article that was

published last week was riddled with inaccuracy and personal attacks. It

has continued the nightmare

that I have lived for the last 6 years. I talked to you for only a few

minutes and your seeming hidden

agenda and lack of compassion was apparent. Your article validated this

initial suspicion; I only wish

that I had talked to you originally so that I could have warned Sharon not

to trust you.

You know what, though, I can take it, and you know Sharon can handle it,

but what really gets us both

is the way you portrayed as the “starring victim.†She just started

her first real job out of college,

and she had to come back from lunch and explain this horrendous article to

her new fellow employees.

Of all involved in this article, she does not deserve this. Is this what

you wanted to accomplish?

Maybe this is your normal mode of operation, maybe the opportunity to be “

creative†won out over the

basic concept of presenting the truth. Either way it defamed my family and

I expect a published

apology.

Kramer

Ms. Ochoa,

I am Ms. Kramer's attorney in her underlying litigation with Bruce Kelman

and Veritox. I provided substantial

documentation to Heimpel that he either ignored, misquoted or

fabricated something entirely contrary to

it in his article. (I must admit, Mr. Heimpel was a former media law

student of mine and I'm ashamed of that

fact - he obviously learned nothing about defamation law from my course).

I am a defamation law specialist. With that said, let me say one thing:

take Ms. Kramer's demands very

seriously. It is in your best interest to do so. (I am a member of the

Media Law Resource Center, a group of

media defense lawyers, and thus I am precluded from bringing libel claims

against members of the media. I

can assure you that there are many lawyers without such a limitation who

would be VERY interested in taking

on a case against the L.A. Weekly on behalf of Ms. Kramer. Let me put it

this way: If this matter came in to me

as a defense lawyer, trust me.....I would be concerned).
