Hi - thanks Chief.  Saw our finest was at the meeting last night :( wish I never had to go out in public again. I'll probably force myself to go to the TIF public hearing, so you can put in a reserve for me. It's not even funny, it's just so, so, sad. The school has not been honest and my son taking the hit from their ego's- that just broke me, the meeting was too much. Hurley smiling at my pain, regardless of my digs from his slander of me... Good luck in your football fun. Thanks again.

(Tod Rosenberg is the Code Enforcement Officer for Belfast. I'll give him a separate page too with his abuse. I think he has a son in the Belfast Area High School with my son. :(  )

Hi Again,

I forgot to ask about the other sites. I will never gain access to those documents. I know for sure the Annex should state that and so should Tall Pines, Mid Coast Mental Health, maybe Hilltop Birches and Belfast Birches.  If you could confirm any, I'd have some grounds for Rosenberg not to blow me off. He is one angry bird for a young man. Wayne's protege, Jamie is on track too. I only have my comments to be free in. Let me tell you, I hold back. I am wicked. ;)

Thank You,
Laurie
This is my primary email, the gmail I forget to check every day.

To All,

I have repeatedly asked for Seaview Terrace to be included in the Northport Ave TIF via the improvements at the Annex in my back yard. Wayne Marshall has destroyed Seaview Terrace with his cruel and intentional forcing of stormwater to Seaview Terrace. Wayne Marshall continues to drown us and threaten our lives every day. Wayne Marshall wrote the conditions for the sites to remove plowed snow offsite and knows that is what flooded Seaview Terrace in 2009 and 2011 spring thaw .

For close to 2 years, I have been BEGGING for your help, you have witnessed the abuse to with hold all information on incoming storm water to Seaview Terrace, you have taken part in the abuse either actively or silently looking the other way.

All this time, you knew and did all you could to stop me. It took a long time for me to see the full scope of corruption, who would believe this? It is so clearly visible, so unacceptable, so unethical, down right brutal especially my struggles. None of you cared what this was doing to me or my children who came here for safety and to heal. I had to listen to story after story of Marina's personal problems and preaching, using Joe Slocum's tragedy's to illicit sympathy from me for his foot dragging and lies to me, all of this made so personal and off the charts unprofessional. Chapters upon chapters of Wayne Marshall pointless beliefs, opinions and refusal to provide the simple specific documents and specific ordinance that prove his failure as a City employee.

Each of Council and the Mayor copied and copied and copied on every failure and unethical tactic thrown at me by the City Manager and City Planner enforced by the City Attorney.

This last meeting, tell me, is it a wise choice to pull in a police officer in to protect you from integrity...me? The tax dollars you have blown in this crusade to cover Joe and Wayne and the danger this has placed me in is frightening. You are personally attacking a mom and her children.  You do not care the danger you put us in. Chief, give them a heads up on domestic abuse, and a wife/mother that is forced to endure because he manipulates others into believing she is unstable, she lies, SHE IS RIDICULOUS . The only option is wisely waiting for years for the moment of escape. Tell them how dangerous it is to escape, to take the children, how they wipe out  finances first, knowing the stay at home has no income and the shelter is a step away, courts, child services, mediators, attorneys, guardian ad litem , therapists, Dr.s all adding to drama but of no protection what so ever. Tell them, how volatile the situation always remains, that many times the bringing in of authorities is the nail in the coffin. Tell them Chief that children become the only weapon that will hurt the mom and he uses them without a thought or care. Its only about him, how he is being hurt, how can he hurt her and stop her. Death is a sure thing. Tell them how hard it is to win relocation and I went for it. Moved into this house before the motion was filed because of attorney foot dragging for 9 months prior. Days before school was to begin I didn't know if I would have to return to NJ with my son, with nowhere to live, no one left that cared. I won and this is has been my welcome from Belfast City Wall Hall 2 years and counting.

These types of personalities are often in powerful positions because of the ego drive to succeed without any empathy. Those not educated or familiar with these personalities never see them coming. Those of us who have are able to spot them a mile away. Their forced social smoothness always has cracks of rage. It is very transparent and only takes an educated  unbiased observer to identify.  It took me 24 years to see the underlying illness that has no empathy and is danger beyond scope. I mistook the rage for alcoholism. When the rage and blame turned to the children I knew it was time to run. Early education on mental illness and coping skills for all would fix a lot of evil. The ill rarely receive appropriate early treatment and many providers have mental illness themselves. You find that out the hard way, if you are lucky. Its a roll of the dice, mind altering meds doled out like tic tacs. My deceased sister was fed pills in her teens, beautiful and smart, her life was stolen. I was 10 years younger and till her death in 2002, stood strong against the disease but always my heart open to sobriety and any help she wanted. My dad sober at 40 due to the birth of my brother and me in 1959 and 1960, He'd become the president of AA and quit smoking 5 packs of cigarettes a day. He died a horrible death from cancer, I was 16. Mom favored my brother and so hated my truth. She died in 1995. Another brother died of cancer in 2004.

I filed for divorce in 2005 and was barely holding onto my children and near homeless at divorce in 2007.  Here is a wake up call that took me 24 years to learn I was living with and losing my life too. (this portion is not public information- very personal and dangerous)...

(back to the rest of the email) I had to change my locks three times and disable my SUV entry panel. This is specific to family but behaviors can be seen in their professional life as well.  To expose is to put yourself in danger.Therefore if forced to expose, make it as public as possible. That is your only body guard and watch your back and pets. Poisoning pets is a known tactic.

High Functioning Borderline Personality Disorder - people BPD's that cope with their pain by raging outward, blaming and accusing family members for real or imagined problems

In a discussion on BPDFamily.com, Randi Kreger, co-author of Stop Walking on Eggshells, says the situation with high functioning borderlines look more like this:

"1. Denial is their primary characteristic. They disavow having any problems and see no need to change. Relationship difficulties, they say, are everyone else's fault. If family members suggests they may have BPD, they almost always accuse the other person of having it instead. (This is why I strongly advise non-BPs to leave this disclosure to a trained professional)

2. They cope with their pain by raging outward, blaming and accusing family members for real or imagined problems ("acting out")

3. They refuse to seek help from the mental health system unless someone threatens to end the relationship. If they do go, they usually don't intend to work on their own issues. In couples therapy, their goal is often to convince the therapist that they are being victimized

4. They may hide their low self-esteem behind a brash, confident pose that hides their inner turmoil. They usually function quite well at work and only display aggressive behavior toward those close to them (high functioning). But the black hole in the gut and their intense self-loathing are still there. It's just buried deeper

5. If they also have other mental disorders, they're ones that also allow for high functioning such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) or Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD). (These mostly appear concurrently in men-especially APD)

6. Family members' greatest challenges include coping with verbal abuse, protecting children, trying to get their family member to seek treatment, and maintaining their self-esteem and sense of reality. Partners, especially, are in relationships with Cluster Two BPs

   
City Wall Hall robbing me from my children. Heartless and horrible.  Publicly denouncing me and the facts I so painfully brought forward to the Council on 11/1/11- here's a portion from my blog- do you have the courage to watch- Note the 10/2/12 meeting is another formal request to include Seaview Terrace into the Northport Ave TIF. 


1/1/11 First Meeting After 7 months of Lies/Withholding Public Documents/Tossing Me Around like a Pack of Cigarettes...sucking the life out of me
  http://vimeo.com/31506248 11/1/11 City Hall Meeting- fast forward 20minutes, 44 seconds, hard to hit that though, seems to jump from 20minutes to after my speech is done. May have to begin listening at 19 minutes, but don't ff- it will skip to end again. You can back it up too.  I give almost 15 minutes of choking testimony. After my wrenching public plea to stop flooding us 52 minutes into meeting City Manager Joe Slocum tries to deflect from missing map and discredit me, that was only the beginning of the missing documents that Wayne must have hid when you hear him give the history of the development56 minutes into meeting. When questioned by Council, Mike Hurley as to what is Belfast's Storm Water Ordinance, Wayne Marshall, City Planner and torturer of my life, states it directs to send storm water to nearest PUBLIC waterway- streams. I have requested this ordinance since and he fails to produce it... he must be lying and Seaview Terrace is NOT a public waterway, the City has no right aways or easements...THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!Then Mike Hurley says this storm water flooding is Council's problem but then they vote to take no action  in the 1/3/12 Meeting where they brought in the City Attorney who had more public documents with held from me specific to my property. When I tried to question him he ran away and Council closed the discussion.

 ttp://vimeo.com/33314014 12/6/11 City Hall Meeting- I speak publicly ff 25 in- 4th person up. I let it rip with truth and maps. After 8 months of avoidance, corruption and lies, the public must know that Council IS KNOWINGLY  FLOODING THE CITY ENDANGERED FLOOD ZONE OF SEAVIEW TERRACE AND TAKING OUR TAX DOLLARS AND BUYING RECREATIONAL PARCELS FOR MILLIONS AND WILL COST MILLIONS TO DEVELOP...SEAVIEW TERRACE PROPERTY IS WORTHLESS BECAUSE OF CITY OFFICIALS.Verbal Planning approvals with residents present are a sham. What the Planning Board approves and what the Planning Manager, Wayne Marshall DOES are night and day. Impossible for the resident to get accountability and resolved. See the header with Diane Allmeyer Beck vs. Wayne Marshall.

 Later at the end of the meeting, long after I'm gone, Council member Mike Hurley slanders me with confidence and ease. Here is his rant against me
quote as closely as possible, Mike Hurley’s public rant against me at the 12/6/11 City Council meeting
Slander is the oral communication of false statements that are harmful to a person's reputation. If the statements are proven to be true, it is a complete defense to a charge of slander. Oral opinions that don't contain statements of fact don't constitute slander. Slander is an act of communication that causes someone to be shamed, ridiculed, held in contempt, lowered in the estimation of the community, or to lose employment status or earnings or otherwise suffer a damaged reputation. Slander is a subcategory of defamation.
 “I want to respond during the discussion about water. I came to the entire subject early on when we stated getting copied here on everything, with a pretty open mind about it, well, is there a problem here? What’s the problem? I think that’s what we do here quite often is hey what’s the problem and try to fix it and if there is something we can do. I want to say I had an open mind to it but having had the avalanche of emails that we received and what we heard tonight again, I just want to say that, ya know, if anybody thinks the way to solve a problem is to insult people with things like, Wayne’s World, Ignorant, Dysfunctional, Shot to Hell, Deceiving, Corruption, Lies, Cover Ups, Bullied, I want to add one word…RIDICULOUS. I’ve worked with all these guys and I’ve been on the wrong side of government in the past and I’ve been on the wrong side of government while I’ve been in government. And ya know, it’s just ridiculous to listen to this stuff. I would not object to putting this on the agenda for us to talk about what we should do about this if anything. But, you know, to listen to these to these kind of character assassinations pf people who could really be bothered to do these things to this woman, I’m really sorry, nobody has any interest in doing any of these kinds of things that she keeps proclaiming and you know it’s unfortunate she takes it completely publicly and tonight even, I kept waiting for her, what’s the problem (out of quote for me to say, I clearly stated in the beginning what the problem, what I wanted done, and backed it up with facts for the ?? Time) How would we address the problem. I THINK SHE’S MORE INTERESTED IN FIGHTING, but I’m willing to talk about it and look at it and maybe, ya know, there’s something we can do, I don’t know. But anyway, I FEEL LIKE WAYNE AND JOE, IN PARTICULAR HAVE BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PINATA AND I APPRECIATE THEM BEING RESTRAINED. I am sure, I can tell from everything that the landowner is absolutely feels put upon by the water that runs in the stream in through her yard. I think, maybe there’s a way to solve this but constantly insulting the people you’re trying to talk with, at least it’s never worked for me at home.”
*** http://vimeo.com/34563093 1/3/12 City Hall Meeting- Seaview Terrace 1rst on agenda (I also speak publicly ff about 15 minutes in- 3rd person up. Council remains silent and hires City Attorney, Bill Kelly with our tax dollars to try and deflect the forced flooding. KELLY REVEALS YET ANOTHER PUBLIC DOCUMENT OF FLOODING ON SEAVIEW PURPOSELY WITHHELD FROM ME.(Who knows what else they hide? Impossible to know, I have been intimidated and refused information on my property for 10 months and counting. ) A 1987 City hired engineer report that...SURPRISE- does not hold the City accountable for flooding. In fact, even with residents complaints of flooding in 1987, begins the City Planning approvals for Capt Albert Stevens School, Volunteers of America, Tall Pines, MidCoast Mental Health to build, eliminating ground absorption, accumulating storm water in huge dug out pools and channel down to private property, Seaview Terrace. Clobber us further by taking the storm water across Rte 1 from the Armory, National Guard, down to Pray's Homes along the side, back towards the trailer park, meandering and to accumulate more stormwater from who knows how far back and back across Rte 1, culvert forced directly into Seaview Terrace.

*** http://vimeo.com/36425936 2/7/12 City Hall Meeting- I speak publicly again, Gavel is banging- seems like Spanky's Club House Meeting... Police presence ordered by Council/Manager to intimidate me?


 
4/16/12 City Council Video http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=40581849 ff exactly 20:45 minutes in I speak for 2 minutes of documented corruption and inflicted ignorance. Police presence ordered again, by Council/Manager to intimidate me?
‎5/1/12 City Council Meeting Video http://vimeo.com/41411785  forward exactly 22:20 (minutes/sec) I speak quickly to avoid "jail" a nice looking police man is standing by, this is not normal. I did not realize he was there for me, and he was visibly shocked when I offered him a friendly, loud hello. My neighbor 2 houses up and across speaks for 7 minutes. He never told me he would be taking my private conversation with him to City Hall- which is fine by me. What he doesn't say is that when I tried to tell him corruption details, including storm water draining that he is doing with City help (since 2009) is illegal and eroding my property- he threw his hands up and walked away. He did not want to see the maps that show all the storm water illegally being forced to Seaview Terrace private property either. I too want peace and to enjoy the many good aspects of Belfast. Our properties are worthless because of City Corruption and Negligence www.belfastbullies.blogspot.com (headers have new info)See More

Watch in this meeting as Wayne costs the City more in misplanning stormwater at the Front Street Shipyard. My Councilwoman, Marina Delune (who reported me as a threat to the Chief of Police) who constantly said she knows nothing of storm water, can't demand maps from Wayne on my behalf, believes in Joe Slocum and Wayne Marshall, doesn't believe me, doesn't think I've been bullied, was unfortunaltely a deterrent for me for 8 months of wasted time and emotion, advises me at the end of these 8 months to pray and meditate... Marina immediately approves this immense storm water mishap improvement without even knowing the cost, Joe Slocum adds in that it is "necessary" and Wayne adds "in the future".  STOP THEM STOP THEM STOP THEM!! THEY ARE FLYING THROUGH APPROVALS AND OUR TAX DOLLARS  IN FEAR OF RESIDENTS REVOLTING!!!!!!!!!! Rail trail, recreational purchase of 2 dams and property (25k already blown on a useless consultation per Marina for this property) No money for schools, resident infrastructure, homeless, children educational assitance.... just keep blowing it on recreational, window dressing, personal agenda's and business attractions...disgrace and greed
Over the summer, I go to a few more meetings, asking to Stop Flooding Seaview and to include storm water sewers to save Seaview in the budget meetings. Brownville, Maine is catastrophic after a 6 inch rain, no Federal Funding, town must pay with tax dollars. Every inch of rain is 1 foot of water to the private property of Seaview Terrace, 6 inches=6 feet of pounding, rapid-like water tearing through Seaview Terrace. Death of people and pets are true threats.

10/2/12- City Council TIF Tax could save Seaview Terrace

(12/13/2014 This is total proof of corruption off the charts. Probably waiting for statutes to run out- Slocum will eventually respond in December 2012 lie after lie with the CASS, confident that they will never allow me to see those documents in the file like the first time. It was when I came back a 2nd time, unannounced, to ask Planning to let me see the files again. City Planner Wayne Marshall was not in the office, and the secretary/admin. assistant Marie Stalworth gave me the enormous files again. Inside were volumes of stormwater documents, Army Corp, Engineers, DEP, the site was all wetlands- City Planner Wayne Marshall had removed all those documents prior to my supervised inspections that took me 6 hours searching through every page- no stormwater documents or final approved plans- nothing. Marshall smirking- telling me there were none. When I saw all these documents now in the file, I broke down into tears in front of Marie. I pulled out the conditions for permit documents and begged her for a copy on the spot before Wayne Marshall came back into the office. She did, putting her job on the line. With only scoring this one document, it proves the corruption and illegal water slaughter to all residents in the water shed. Slocum writes in 12/2012 that he can't find that the storm water analysis and engineer inspection of the completed complex, expensive, drainage system. Mandy Olver of Olver Engineering was the engineer hired to complete these findings of conditions. Unbeknownst to me until the work shop meeting on 9/3/14 (have to check that date- it's in the article written by Ethan Andrews, Penbay Pilot- copied on this blog) Mandy Olver is the engineer hired to present corrupt options for the paving and road side drainage of crumbling Seaview Terrace. She stated in the work shop at the end- that she wanted it noted that she was the engineer for CASS and she did the storm water analysis and drainage report. I have been requesting these findings since and Slocum responds that his response was given in 12/2012. Not done. Mandy Olver will not provide her copies. CORRUPTION- DEP Commissioner Aho denies corruption and dismisses/closes CASS investigation- also documented in blog)


https://vimeo.com/49756753 10 minutes in I ask for Seaview Terrace to be included in Northport Ave TIF District by including WCGH and recent improvements. I ask Joe Slocum for the 12th time for his written inspection that the 8 Final Approved Site Plans are true and ready for viewing. I ask him to implement the stormwater analysis where the City secured 5k from SAD34 in 2005 for impact to watershed residents from the Captain Albert Stevens School. Note that the Robertson School was planned for demolition in staging plans and was not. Wayne Marshall holds the final approved plans for the CASS and will not provide them to me. No discussions on my requests even as they go into detail of the TIF. In fact, my Council, Marina Delune is pushing to take Northport Ave TIF funding and give it to downtown projects! How does this woman sleep?

I took the liberty of copying this to Chief McFadden. Please advise me if I am threatening or overstepping my civil rights and I will make amends.  You have forced me to defend myself against this mental barrage from City Wall Hall and divulge personal trauma in a last ditch effort for compassion to stop this nightmare. At this point, I am fully exposed and out there. No turning back.   I am trapped with this City disaster and I must save my only asset. Please include Seaview Terrace into the Northport Ave TIF, get the storm water out of Seaview Terrace with proper infrastructure and provide roadside drainage on the City owned street of Seaview Terrace.

Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

(on top of relentless campaigning for the TIF, I have also begged for assistance by the Emergency Management Agency- Dale Rowley. He cannot help if the City Manager does not ask. I campaign relentlessly for CM Slocum to put the flood plain, flood zone of Seaview Terrace into a mitigation plan that would demand infrastructure and federal funding. NO. They bring Dale in to speak at a meeting in 3/2012 -, and try to stop me from speaking. I'll post that meeting here, I don't know why I didn't include it in the above email. Too much corruption, let alone for a beat up laymom not layman. It was a snow job- Heil Hurley talking about the equipment and bull shit. On the way out, Dale was kind and told me I did a good job tracking and mapping the slaughter to Seaview Terrace from miles outside of Seaview Terrace. He is an engineer and intimately familiar with the area. His old office up on Congress Street was in the path of the slaughter from CASS.)

Ms. Allen, I received your e-mail and visited your blog to understand your problem. Unfortunately, County government does not have the statutory authority to require municipal governments to complete any actions regarding storm water management. Should a municipal government wish to seek Federal funding through the Hazard Mitigation Program, they will coordinate with my office for their application. They also must identify this problem in their section of the regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. They have not identified this issue in the Hazard Mitigation Plan.
 
A MUST WATCH- THEY GET ANGRY WHEN I TRY TO RESPOND- I'M CALM AND THEY BE MAD!
Waldo EMA-Plans for Disaster-on agenda- I speak to save Seaview @20:10 @25:50 Mayor Ash tries to tell me not to come back anymore- get a lawyer- not a chance. I give it back- he tries to anger me.. Dale speaks @51:46 w/ overview- Council does not address Seaview Terrace, talk of Irene-flooding other states- unbelievable yet again.

Subject: Mitigation Plan

Hi Dale,

This landslide in Washington is horrific. They spoke of a mitigation plan, stating the county had notified the residents properly of the danger. I'd like to give that a shot again with City Wall Hall. I'd like to meet with you and find out exactly how these plans work and what the benefits are. From what I gather on the FEMA site,  grants become available for these area's, plans are made to relieve the area of danger, etc. 

I am available 24/7 just about- I pick my son up from school a 2 so 1:30-2:30 is not good. Any other time is grand. Let me know when, and I'll be there. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

I met with Dale, he cannot help Seaview Terrace- request must come from City Hall.

Subject: Police Power?

Hi Chief,

The last City Council meeting, I caught a glimpse of an officer. Was he there for me? I saw Wayne Marshall spin his head around in anticipation of something when open to the public was announced. Although, getting escorted out may cause headlines, my son is my priority and he has suffered enough. Having Mom in the clinker would be an invitation for my abusive, ... removed for confidentiality...to take action. Having to take all this public in 11/11 was not something I ever wanted to do and jeopardize our safety. Thank You Belfast City Wall Hall. They could care less of the danger the place us in.  Please advise if I am in any violations when I speak at the meetings as I have. I am very careful not to say anything that isn't true but Belfast City Hall seems to have it's own laws. I am planning to attend the 3/5 meeting to ask for the 9999999999 time to include Seaview Terrace into the Northport Ave TIF.

Looking at the websites ordinance. I found this:
Floodplain and floodprone area mean any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source (see definition of "flood" and "flooding").
Floodplain management means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood damage, including but not limited to emergency preparedness plans, flood control works, and floodplain management regulations.
Floodplain management regulations means zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, health regulations, special purpose ordinances, such as a floodplain ordinance, grading ordinance, and erosion control ordinance, and other applications of police power. The term describes such state or local regulations, or any combination thereof, which provide standards for the purpose of flood damage prevention and reduction.
Floodproofing means any combination of structural and nonstructural additions, changes, or adjustments to structures which reduce or eliminate flood damage to real estate or improved real property, water and sanitary facilities, structures and their contents.


Seems to me that we could use some police power. Clearly the zoning ordinance violation at CASS, Annex, etc. ( I'm working on the others) of not removing plowed snow is directly destroying the foodplain, floodzone private property owners of Seaview Terrace.

As Always,
No Brakes Laurie

Laurie,

I hope you trust that if you’re edging close to some line in the sand you’ll get  a friendly call from me. Neither I nor my Officers are there to throw anyone in jail. However you can expect an Officer present at all City Council meetings. That’s not going to be much of a secret since the meetings are televised on live TV… The reason has less to do with you than it does with the heated debates going on around us. I hope you understand me not being able to go into great detail.

I want you to know that it’s important to me that you feel comfortable and safe while you address the council during whatever meeting you intend to do so in. I’ve had conversations with my entire staff about our role in these meetings and I’m confident they understand what purpose we serve there. We are not intimidators, and I’ll expect you to say whatever is on your mind regardless of the Officers presence.

The Officer is there in the event someone becomes violent or assaultive. Not to intimidate people who want to remark on an issue they have, whether it be positive feedback or not.

Thanks for reaching out to me, you’re welcome at every City Council meeting you want to go to as far as I’m concerned.

Mike.

Yes, I know the City Manager dictates police presence. I know that is not you decision and your department is needed to protect residents, not corrupt Gotham City Wall Hall. The City Attorney is gnawing at my safety. His last letter indicates if I speak again there would be consequences. I am taking action on that.

But- how do we use police power to protect our floodplain against sites that are flooding us when Gotham is corruptly destroying us? Thanks Chief.

Imagine Peace,

Laurie,

I’m pretty sure we’ve exchanged emails regarding this issue in the recent past. I shared with you that my research at that time indicated that none of the areas you’ve listed are required by City Ordinance to haul snow off site. It’s my understanding that the mention of “Snow removal” in the documents its present in isn’t meant to suggest that these areas are mandated to haul snow off site, but rather they will be responsible for the plowing of snow rather than the City of Belfast.

In addition, my research into the matters you are raising here indicates that the documents mentioning “snow removal” are not ordinances but rather zoning and planning board documents that stipulate requirements for snow removal, These requirements are not enforceable by the Police.

As far as what Officer Ward did; Officer Ward answered your report of Illegal snow plowing. The fact that Officers respond to any call for service is not in and of itself an indication that the call for service is justified or factually based. However in reading your emails to me and others concerning the fact that Officer Ward responded to your call, that’s exactly how I would interpret your writing. The fact is Officer Ward indicated to me that he could find nothing what so ever wrong with the way the snow was being plowed at any of these areas. There is a record of your call for service, however the fact that a call for service exists should not indicate that the reason for the call for service is legitimate. In this case it seems that although you may not appreciate the way the snow is being plowed, there is nothing about the way it’s being plowed that is in violation of any State Law or Local Ordinance.

As always the Belfast Police Department will enforce laws of the State of Maine and Belfast Ordinances, which we have authority to enforce. Snow removal in the context you’re concerned with is not an issue we have authority over.   

Please feel free to call or email with any questions.

Mike.

Dear Chief and CEO (Todd Rosenburg),

Per Local Ordinance, the Code Enforcement Officer is not issuing violations that are flooding our floodplain, flood zone neighborhood of Seaview Terrace. We have confirmed the CASS and Annex are in violation and the other sites need confirmation so that police power may protect the flood plain as our local ordinance dictates.

Drainage. Adequate provision shall be made for stormwater, with particular concern for the effects of any effluent draining from the site. Erosion resulting from any improvements on the site shall be prevented by landscaping or other means (see sections 102-1123 and 102-1124 and chapter 98).

j.Snow removal. The plan shall provide for storage of snow accumulation or removal from the site.

Floodplain and floodprone area mean any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source (see definition of "flood" and "flooding").
Floodplain management means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood damage, including but not limited to emergency preparedness plans, flood control works, and floodplain management regulations.
Floodplain management regulations means zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, health regulations, special purpose ordinances, such as a floodplain ordinance, grading ordinance, and erosion control ordinance, and other applications of police power. The term describes such state or local regulations, or any combination thereof, which provide standards for the purpose of flood damage prevention and reduction.

After confirmation, I will check the area's and alert CEO with a copy to all.  Until then, I will assume all sites are in violation and will email complaints and our police force can protect residents and City Hall in harmony.

Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

All sites are in violation of not removing plowed snow. I did not drive into Legore Subdivision- was afraid I'd loose my trannie in that mess.  See slide show.

Council and Mayor,

All this and even more, just for me. Really, you shouldn't have, I really wish you didn't.

Sincerely,
Laurie Allen
Malfeasance in office, or official misconduct, is the commission of an unlawful act, done in an official capacity, which affects the performance of official duties.
The court then went on to use yet another definition, "malfeasance is the doing of an act which an officer had no legal right to do at all and that when an officer, through ignorance, inattention, or malice, does that which they have no legal right to do at all, or acts without any authority whatsoever, or exceeds, ignores, or abuses their powers, they are guilty of malfeasance."

Inverse Condemnation

An increase in environmental problems has resulted in a new type of eminent domain proceeding called inverse condemnation. In this proceeding, the property owner, rather than the condemnor, initiates the action. The owner alleges that the government has acquired an interest in his or her property without giving compensation, such as when the government floods a farmer's field or pollutes a stream crossing private land. An inverse condemnation proceeding is often brought by a property owner when it appears that the taker of the property does not intend to bring eminent domain proceedings.

7/6/13 UPDATE -City Manager Joe Slocum told me TWO YEARS AGO, that all the runoff forced into SEAVIEW TERRACE through the huge culvert by Rte 1 and not able to handle the sheer volume, will take 40 Seaview Terrace off its foundation. Not just the car. Came close again in 2009 and 2011. Rapids crushing our neighborhood. We are NOT A NATURAL OUTLET. Prior to 1965 development is was farmland.Belfast has No Right Of Ways or Easements to our private property.  Whatever it was, it was moved, with held from me and then I finally got the map on an unannounced visit where it was right on the counter. Joe Slocum had an aneurism. Then Councilman Hurley and his posse start a new chant, so what, I didn't do it, we're not responsible, this woman is"ridiculous" "as if we would really do this to her". BOTTOM LINE- MOVING LAND WITH HEAVY EQUIPMENT, APPROVED BY THE CITY, DONE BY THE CITY OR DEVELOPER DOESN'T MATTER- IT IS NO LONGER NATURAL. BELFAST IS BREAKING THEIR OWN ORDINANCE- SEE BELOW "NATURAL OUTLET" NOW GET IT OUT!!!!

Stormwater and all other unpolluted drainage may be discharged to such sewers as are specifically designated as storm sewers, or to a natural outlet approved by the city. Industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged, on approval of the city, to a storm sewer or natural outlet, if in accordance with regulations of the state department of environmental protection.


(Ord. No. 45-1999, § 600.2, 2-1-2000)

Manipulating and with holding information and documents by the City Manager, Joe Slocum and City Planner, Wayne Marshall for 3 years and counting is their tortuous distraction to try and bury the visible. Water doesn't lie. They do. 
Here's  one of hundreds. Slocum states right here that there are NO maps, but after 3 years, they produce many in their defense, and then they go missing again. Never to give me a copy even though they appear to offer.
 Slocum keeps pounding that, per City Attorney, Bill Kelly's 12/27/2011 letter "City officials are legally precluded from improving private property with public money for any purpose, including private drainage." In fact, they do it all the time. I have proven it. Slocum caught, lies again. To avoid 7 yr. statutes, he says it was done 8 years ago- IT WAS DONE IN 2009, force confirmed by DPW Bob Richards. Slocum lies again, saying to protect the road. The 45 and 49 numbers are another deterrent- not valid locations or address. It is between 27 and 23 (lot with only a garage) Seaview Terrace is where the City dug the ditch deeper. See the culvert and drop to the ditch. No where near the road. The water was pooling, not draining to the stream. The then owner, Kara Merrill of 27, TOLD ME, she called the City, requested it to be dug out, it was getting nasty. Bud Hand at 26 TOLD ME, that he agreed to maintain that ditch (not his property) to make sure the water was able flow from his opposing property. It not been draining to the stream.  This is the older man that came to speak against me, appearing frail when he is known as the "Tool Man" up and down the street with wheel barrows, up and down ladders fixing gutters, shingles, digging posts for mailboxes, MAINTAINING THE DITCH. In this meeting Joe even offers to speak to our City Attorney, Bill Kelly for him. Boy, you went all out to alienate me further in this one Joe. People that don't even know me have turned against me.    
 (Note-in the last meeting 7/2/13- Joe Slocum is back-peddling saying that none of the neighbors are draining into the stream where in the email below he confirms they are. Hurley says he knows that some like the "little" stream. Probably the Smith's again (5 Seaview). They don't even own stream property, nor does 11 Seaview. The back portion of their yards and all of the stream is owned by Mid Coast Mental Health)
How could I make this old man so sad? What a bad person she is.
5/1/12 City Council Meeting Video http://vimeo.com/41411785  forward exactly 22:20 (minutes/sec) I speak quickly to avoid "jail" a nice looking police man is standing by, this is not normal. I did not realize he was there for me, and he was visibly shocked when I offered him a friendly, loud hello. My neighbor 2 houses up and across speaks for 7 minutes. He never told me he would be taking my private conversation with him to City Hall- which is fine by me. What he doesn't say is that when I tried to tell him corruption details, including storm water draining that he is doing with City help (since 2009) is illegal and eroding my property- he threw his hands up and walked away. He did not want to see the maps that show all the storm water illegally being forced to Seaview Terrace private property either. I too want peace and to enjoy the many good aspects of Belfast. Our properties are worthless because of City Corruption and Negligence .
Watch in this meeting as Wayne costs the City more in misplanning stormwater at the Front Street Shipyard
Don't even ask how many times his wife called animal control because she could hear my dogs barking IN THE HOUSE, WITH ALL WINDOWS CLOSED. How it used to be such a quiet neighborhood before I came. At least I got to know a nice man in Belfast, Steve Bogden. We all agree his is tops. Oh and the then Chief Trafton too. The Smith's @ 5 Seaview Terrace kept reporting every time they heard my dogs bark. Calling me, coming to my door, telling me they are not fond of beagles, talking about me to all they know. I went to the Chief, told him to put camera's on me to prove I did all I could to minimize barking above and beyond. Even installing a 5 foot fence with additional screening so they can't see anything that provokes barking. He told me of a case in Augusta, very similar and the Judge ordered the dogs voice box to be surgically removed. Kara Merrill of 27 Seaview told me that David Smith would come to her house (1/4 mile away- 3 lots up)all the time to complain he could hear her little dog barking. He kept at her and at her until she sadly put a shock collar on her little dog. The dog was never the same again and she said she never forgave herself. 
What is wrong with these people? Unable to live in an open society? Then go. I told the Chief I would do whatever he recommended, the Smith's were out to destroy my dogs. Sure enough, a week later, David Smith went to the Chief. David Smith became irate when the Chief tried to help him. The Chief became concerned for MY safety. The Chief came to my house, met my dogs, inspected the fence and was very impressed with me and my honesty. He explained what a restraining order is and how it could protect me. When the Chief of Police is concerned, I say issue the order. Done. Now, even more gossip for their huge network, schools too. Lovely.

Later I'd get to meet the new Chief of Police, Mike McFadden, when my Council calls me in as a threat. Great, no doubt a full background check is done.After a lengthy chat and quite a few laughs, the Chief tells me I was the hi-lite of his day. Ditto.

 
Welcome to Belfast. Thought I'd escaped the abuse. Where it was just one, it's a whole club implicated with residents. A nasty, nasty web with many lovely hummingbirds just wanting to enjoy nectar and not get involved.

 6/20/13 I came to see this map Slocum and Marshall showed me referenced below. At that time, it seemed useless, bunch of green tree tops with a barely visible short path of water. No landmarks or development-could have been from anywhere. And now it doesn't exist. Jennika the volleyball, went to City Planner, Wayne Marshall and he tricks her again, as in every other request. She came down with other maps, I was unable to get the aerial map that 1957 (proven per email below) Wayne Marshall and Joe Slocum showed me time and time again. It was  color close up of the stream barely seen through the trees. It was all trees, and surely would show that that original stream was no where near my home- was up by Birch St and man made there after digging down to me. Not natural ever.
I had a camera for the first time. I took pictures of all those maps- Marshall surely wasn't counting on that- there is gold there. The 1939 aerial quad 40- no stream on the farm-aka future Seaview Terrace.

Subject: Further follow up on your November 3rd request

Ms. Allen,

The photographic Map that show the stream behind your house in 1957 ,before any house in your neighborhood existed, remains in Jennika's office for the convenience of your inspection. So is the second Aerial photo map from 1997 where your house and neighborhood  is depicted- showing the very same stream. I wrote to you and we have not heard back from you on your interest in seeing these Maps. I can't copy them in house and will be pleased to have them copied for you when you bring the money in that such copies cost. Once you see them you may be in a better position to decide whether you want copies.

I have found NO maps that depict all storm water channels draining into the culvert at the top of Seaview Terrace. I am continuing to look for any Maps I can find that  show storm drain channels draining  into the stream that moves through the culvert at the top Seaview Terrace near Route #1. You may wish to contact the State to ask them if they have any maps of any drainage they have going into this stream.  I am not sure who you would ask but perhaps the State officials who came to your neighborhood and inspected this stream could assist you with that.

It is my understanding that you have the flood maps of your area. If not let me know and I will get you copies.

 I have found  no maps of storm water channels draining into the stream at your private property. That being said it is possible that the two small culverts (10-12 inches) underneath the road at 45 and 49 were indeed built by the City. It would have been a long time ago and I have no maps of them but they are readily visible. I did confirm with Bob Richards, our DPW Director, that about 8 years ago  a ditch that carried water off the road and also from the abutting private property was overgrown and the public works crew- in a maintenance effort and with the permission of the property owner did indeed go in and clear out the growth in that existing ditch. That is my best understanding of what happened. The only reason for the City to do this was because the water was starting to back up onto the road which the City wanted  to clear it off.

 Although I do not generally do research for anyone as that is not what the Freedom of Information Act requires, I did look up this statute which I believe supports the City's obligation and right to put small 2 culverts under the road and to maintain this ditch that public works removed the growth from.

Your email of November 3rd says the City  has directly contributed to the erosion of your yard  and your road. The road was accepted by the City when your subdivision was approved.  In all honesty I can not see what the City has done that has affected anything in your neighborhood that was not there long before your houses were built. That is what I had hoped that you would see if you would just come in and look at the photo's from 1957. Every house lot and property on Seaview View Terrace- including your own appears to put water into this stream. It is the natural drainage way that has been there forever. When I visited your property the ditch that runs the full length of your property between you and your Northerly neighbor appears to drain your yards.


I hear three different financial requests from you.

1. Reduce your taxers and I understand the Assessor is currently evaluating that. I hope he is in contact with you next week when he returns from sick leave.

2. The City should just install storm drains on your street. We do not have them on many, many streets in the City because they are so expensive to install. Today the City would not likely accept a subdivision that did not come with its own storm drain system. This is a policy question in my mind - not a legal one.

3. Finally you mention the damage to your property. I have asked several times that you send me a communication that asks for payment for whatever you think your damages are and I will send it onto the City's Insurance Company. Please send communication along to me so that they can do their own review and respond to your claim. I can't write it for you because it is your claim to make.


 I will continue to look for more information and I am sending this to the Council so they will know how we are trying to respond to your requests.


 Please do not hesitate to send either me or Jennika any request that you may have.


 Thank you,


 Joe Slocum

Ms. Allen,

Good afternoon. I regret that I have been away for two weeks because of two family emergencies.

The road could indeed use some work and will be addressed in conjunction with our regular road program which calls for attention in areas about every 10 years. The road has alligator cracking because the ground underneath is wet. The present existence of a couple of culverts underneath the road which transfer some water from the higher land across the street to your land on the North side are an attempt by the City to have the road not act as a dam to the natural flow of gravity and also to preserve the asphalt on the road itself by eliminating standing water on the road edge or underneath it.( Out of quote for me to respond-This is a lie to avoid their stand that the do not do work on private property. The road at my driveway(and many other residents) is a pond at every rain/snow- no culverts, no road side drainage)( back to original quote fro Joe Slocum) We have these culverts all over the City and you will indeed find them all over the State.I will ask my Public Works Director, by copy of this email to let us know in what year your road might see some resurfacing. . It will not be this year. At this time there are no funds or plans to install storm sewers along your road We like many municipalities have have many roads without these amenities. (ME SPEAKING- NO FUNDS?? ARE YOU KIDDING- YOU'RE GIVING 40K  TO SOME 24 RESIDENTS FOR FOOT TRAFFIC ON A RAIL TRAIL THAT WILL DRAIN OUR TAX DOLLARS THAT ARE SO BADLY NEEDED ON SEAVIEW TERRACE. THIS WHOLE TRAIL IS ANOTHER CITY SCHEME TO AVOID ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS UNTIL IT WILL BE TOO LATE AND TOO COSTLY BUT COUNCIL IS "DETERMINED" REGARDLESS OF THE SAD SHAPE OF ROADS AND SEWERS. GUESS THEIR HOMES ARE NOT IN DANGER).

BACK TO JOE AND HERE IS WHERE HE DOWN AND OUT LIES ABOUT THE STREAM BEING HERE FOR 100 YEARS- THIS IS ALL TRASH- HE IS NOT CREDIBLE WHATSOEVER
My observation suggests to me that the stream behind your house has been there for a hundred years and has acted as the watershed for everything above it including your entire street. The City is not responsible for changes to the land or for the constructions of buildings, the expansions of lawns or cutting of vegetation done by every home owner- including your predecessor which has had an impact on surface and sub surface water in your neighborhood. The very ditch that is maintained between you and your neighbor is a good example of how you and your neighbor channel your water to the stream behind your house that is the natural drainage way. This stream and the water the water your entire neighborhood adds to it, simply goes behind other peoples houses down grade from you and in fact goes right into our City Park where it empties to the Sea. Some of your neighbors across the street want more surface water drained toward your side. The State suggested allowing more plantings to grow and absorb some of the water. The City noted that if we were ever to get involved we would want the neighbors to be cooperative and provide legal easements to the City so our actions are not seen as improper as you have suggested they were in the past.

While I was away I learned that there was a meeting held on site by Wayne Marshall from the City, and we had State DEP representative Chris Cabot there along with a member of our City Council. I understand that you were there as well. To my knowledge-nothing came from that meeting to suggest that the City has somehow caused all this water to be in your area. Since I do not see the harm caused by the City I have no plan to enter upon your property to do any bank stabilization that Mr. Cabot said he would be receptive to permit if requested by the individual neighbors.

ANOTHER HUGE LIE-THIS IS ILLEGAL AND HE KNOWS IT- FIRST THEY SAID THEY NEVER DID THIS, THEN I PROVED THEY DID, THEN THEY TRIED TO SAY IT WAS 8 YEARS AGO AND OVER THE 7 YEAR LIMIT, THEN I PROVED IT WAS DONE IN 2009 AND NOW HE IS USING ROAD MAINTENANCE,  DISGRACEFUL LYING CORRUPT BULLIES
It appears that in the past the City crews did indeed enter upon a neighbors property to clear growth from an existing ditch with permission to get water away from the road. As far as I know this is not a City owned ditch anymore than the one which runs along your property.

As for the drainage:


1. I will come and take pictures to document your concern and I will share them with the State. Please let me know whether you wish to be present when I take them . I am presuming that you are going to allow me access through your property so I can do this properly. If this assumption is incorrect please let me know. Otherwise the pictures will be taken next week.


2. I have not seen anything in the erosion or in City practice which suggest to me that the City is responsible for your erosion so there is no practice for us to terminate. I can not and I do not plan on spending City tax dollars to provide drainage controls for private property.


3. There is indeed some signs of erosion within the stream sidewalls and I did see an area about 2 square feet in size where you placed large stones to fill in a part of your bank where some erosion apparently occurred. I do not see anything in this erosion which would indicate it is anything other than a natural occurrence associated with seasonal and unpredictable weather conditions. It appeared to me to look like every stream bed I have ever walked.


Finally, if you continue to believe that the City is the party responsible for your damage then please send me your reasons and I will present your legal claim to our insurance company to see if they see this matter differently than I do.


Absent new information this is my final response to this matter. I am sorry that I could not find a way to agree with your conclusions.


Most sincerely,


Joseph J. Slocum


City Manager

7/6/13 continued-

This map below is from 1965 and shows the stream running through center of homes- City pushed the stream back. It is not natural. See left top quarter section. The old motel is where the Annex is now. My lot is the 3rd up (it's now split- I don't own the garage lot next to me). That stream or whatever it was would run right under my house. City Attorney Bill Kelly tries to say this was to my benefit that the moved it! Are you kidding me? They never should have gotten approval. Then to move it and not stabilize the banks, and to begin the assault. Sending all future developments run off to us from across the highway, up the highway over from the highway, miles and miles of absorbing ground turned into an impervious water slide to our private property. First was probably the Belfast and Hilltop Birches '70's and the last that I am aware of, 2011 with the Annex and Wight St digging and culverting to us.The lots are marked in red and the dark ditch running through is the seasonal stream. They pushed it back to where the tree line is and never stabilized the banks. From there they have been force directing and adding to the stream from miles around for the past 48 years of surrounding development. Forcing it all to the flood zone (that the are bound to protect and divert by ordinance) private property of Seaview Terrace. Now, one event of 5 or 6 inches will wipe us out.
(12/13/14- a 1939 AERIAL view is on the blog- showing this section when it was a farm. Quad 40- the farm house is still on there- on the old Route 1 now Northport Ave. NO DITCH/STREAM IS THERE. THIS WAS DUG IN PREPARATION FOR THE NEW RTE 1 BYPASS IN THE PLANNING STAGES. THEN THE DEVELOPER BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, FILLED IN THE DITCH, AND BUILT THE HOMES- MY LOT IS THE 3RD RED PLOT ON THE RIGHT, THE DARK AREA IS THE TREELINE- NO STREAM THERE EITHER!!!)






In a nutshell this blog is about the City of Belfast taking a private property drainage ditches (confirmed by Belfast City Engineer in  1987 investigation for flooding to Seaview Terraces and proven City manipulation and moving of stream confirmed in 2011 be City Attorney Bill Kelly)  in a flood zone and turning it into a secret free sewer for volumes of unpredictable runoff from the 40 years of development from miles away and still adding to it. The deny it and do what ever it takes to cover it up. They flood the residents, do not provide City infrastructure and take tax dollars for personal agenda's and shady dealings. 


Six inches of water will send us completely under. The City Planner, Wayne Marshall holds, with holds, and manipulates all documents and wears down the resident with full support from Joe Slocum- City Manager, Bill Kelly- City Attorney, City Council, Mayor, Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals and Todd Rosenburg, Zoning Code Enforcer(who violates his own code time and time again). 

The realtors do not disclose the flooding secrets and in my case, did not disclose the stream, did not disclose that I was in a flood zone and recommended DJ Brown Property Inspector. He did not disclose the stream either. I drove 500 miles to see the homes, it had just snowed, the ground covered. My #1 concern was NO Water, I refused homes that disclosed a stream and ran from those that had water in their basements, cracks in the foundation, or any disclosed water issues what so ever. They sold me hell and it's been a 3 year battle of disgust and disgrace. Below in an album you can view my complaint with the Maine Realtor  Commission, documents, pictures and the sleazy realtor emails and lies) It gets worse with how they bully, intimidate, and keep on destroying. Maine DEP is just as corrupt. Nightmare properties just keep getting sold, usually to out of staters or out of town. It stops right here. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d_MG7PCUD0 You Tube Video Erosion of my stream taken 8/2011
Note- 5 months prior to this video- the stream was 2 ft across, 1 foot deep- after spring melt turned ravine- 10-12 ft across, 4-5 ft deep. I'm nervous and not as clear as I could have been. Regardless, the pictures speak it all. At the end I read a bit of Joe Sloscum's planned denial and setting me up to be a woman with anxiety issues. Truly calculating to succeed.

11/1/11 First Meeting After 7 months of Lies/Withholding Public Documents/Tossing Me Around like a Pack of Cigarettes...sucking the life out of me
  http://vimeo.com/31506248 11/1/11 City Hall Meeting- fast forward 20minutes, 44 seconds, hard to hit that though, seems to jump from 20minutes to after my speech is done. May have to begin listening at 19 minutes, but don't ff- it will skip to end again. You can back it up too.  I give almost 15 minutes of choking testimony. After my wrenching public plea to stop flooding us 52 minutes into meeting City Manager Joe Slocum tries to deflect from missing map and discredit me, that was only the beginning of the missing documents that Wayne must have hid when you hear him give the history of the development 56 minutes into meeting.
Even more outrageous is Marshall states that the public's concerns are ONLY of stormwater because Wayne plans to flood residents within the bypass with each development. He crushes resident after resident, with his posse- Zoning, Todd Rosenburg (he was near spitting when Dr. Morrow fought to save her property getting flooded from violations CREATED by Planning and Zoning from an abutter. That is their solution- push their mistakes onto another resident, and so on and so on), and in training, Jamie Francomono. 
When questioned by Council, Mike Hurley as to what is Belfast's Storm Water Ordinance, Wayne Marshall, City Planner and torturer of my life, states it directs to send storm water to nearest PUBLIC waterway- streams. I have requested this ordinance since and he fails to produce it... he must be lying and Seaview Terrace is NOT a public waterway, the City has no right aways or easements...THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!! Then Mike Hurley says this storm water flooding is Council's problem but then they vote to take no action  in the 1/3/12 Meeting where they brought in the City Attorney who had more public documents with held from me specific to my property. When I tried to question Bill Kelly, City Attorney he ran away and Council closed the discussion.

*** http://vimeo.com/34563093 1/3/12 City Hall Meeting- Seaview Terrace 1rst on agenda (I also speak publicly ff about 15 minutes in- 3rd person up. Council remains silent and hires City Attorney, Bill Kelly with our tax dollars to try and deflect the forced flooding. KELLY REVEALS YET ANOTHER PUBLIC DOCUMENT OF FLOODING ON SEAVIEW PURPOSELY WITHHELD FROM ME.(Who knows what else they hide? Impossible to know, I have been intimidated and refused information on my property for 10 months and counting. ) A 1987 City hired engineer report that...SURPRISE- does not hold the City accountable for flooding. In fact, even with residents complaints of flooding in 1987, begins the City Planning approvals for Capt Albert Stevens School, Volunteers of America, Tall Pines, MidCoast Mental Health to build, eliminating ground absorption, accumulating storm water in huge dug out pools and channel down to private property, Seaview Terrace. Clobber us further by taking the storm water across Rte 1 from the Armory, National Guard, down to Pray's Homes along the side, back towards the trailer park, meandering and to accumulate more stormwater from who knows how far back and back across Rte 1, culvert forced directly into Seaview Terrace.
http://vimeo.com/33314014 12/6/11 City Hall Meeting- I speak publicly ff 23 minutes 4 seconds 4th person up for 3 minutes I speak for school. At 26 minutes I go for 20 minutes- in the beginning, I'm tripping, I'm scared, nervous, dry mouth, but  I let it rip,  with truth and maps.
 Later at the end of the meeting, long after I'm gone, Council member Mike Hurley slanders me with confidence and ease. Quoted as closely as possible, Mike Hurley’s public rant against me at the 12/6/11 City Council meeting:
 “I want to respond during the discussion about water. I came to the entire subject early on when we stated getting copied here on everything, with a pretty open mind about it, well, is there a problem here? What’s the problem? I think that’s what we do here quite often is hey what’s the problem and try to fix it and if there is something we can do. I want to say I had an open mind to it but having had the avalanche of emails that we received and what we heard tonight again, I just want to say that, ya know, if anybody thinks the way to solve a problem is to insult people with things like, Wayne’s World, Ignorant, Dysfunctional, Shot to Hell, Deceiving, Corruption, Lies, Cover Ups, Bullied, I want to add one word…RIDICULOUS. I’ve worked with all these guys and I’ve been on the wrong side of government in the past and I’ve been on the wrong side of government while I’ve been in government. And ya know, it’s just ridiculous to listen to this stuff. I would not object to putting this on the agenda for us to talk about what we should do about this if anything. But, you know, to listen to these to these kind of character assassinations pf people who could really be bothered to do these things to this woman, I’m really sorry, nobody has any interest in doing any of these kinds of things that she keeps proclaiming and you know it’s unfortunate she takes it completely publicly and tonight even, I kept waiting for her, what’s the problem (out of quote for me to say, I clearly stated in the beginning what the problem, what I wanted done, and backed it up with facts for the ?? Time) How would we address the problem. I THINK SHE’S MORE INTERESTED IN FIGHTING, but I’m willing to talk about it and look at it and maybe, ya know, there’s something we can do, I don’t know. But anyway, I FEEL LIKE WAYNE AND JOE, IN PARTICULAR HAVE BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PINATA AND I APPRECIATE THEM BEING RESTRAINED. I am sure, I can tell from everything that the landowner is absolutely feels put upon by the water that runs in the stream in through her yard. I think, maybe there’s a way to solve this but constantly insulting the people you’re trying to talk with, at least it’s never worked for me at home.”

7/2/13 WATER CANNOT LIE OR HIDE! GIVE IT UP ALREADY, CITY HALL DISGRACE. City Hall can speculate, manipulate maps in their possession, with hold documents to lie, create doubt, create smokescreens, they did, they done. Bob Whitely, Belfast City Tax Assessor accepted my invitation to tour the forced water paths. Bob Whitely found the map proving as I have been saying all along that the drainage ditch was NOT a natural stream. Joe Slocum flipped **** on Bob for showing me the map. Split personality. I've heard Joe Slocum went off on some young pool employees as well. I bet there are many more, but they fear for their jobs. Actually, Bob did not intentionally show me the map. On our tour a neighbor that Bob's wife had known since childhood told us that the stream had been moved again in the 70's. I didn't say anything. But, on a hunch, first thing the next morning, I just about flew unannounced to his office in City Hall. Sure enough, he had the original development plans showing the ditch moved in 1965-66. I asked for all history and development documents on my house and Seaview Terrace 7 months prior to Wayne Marshall. Wayne with held them as well as the City Engineer report on my property citing the stream was not a stream but a drainage ditch for my property. NOT A NATURAL OUTLET AS STATED IN STORM WATER ORDINANCE. BELFAST IS BREAKING THE LAW, VIOLATING STORM WATER ORDINANCE AND SITE CONDITION ORDINANCE (TO REMOVE PLOWED SNOW) AND PERFORMING WORK ON PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR DRAINAGE.

 I bet Joe Slocum was not happy, probably busted a vessel,  when Bob Whitely accepted my invitation. Council, Sloscum and Marshall refused to attend the tour of destruction with Bob and me. Refused to see for themselves. I took pictures, documenting each culvert, and mapped and labeled from CASS down to Seaview (through Birch St, Congress, Wight St, Tall Pines, Midcoast Mental Health, WCGH Annex and then @ Congress- VOA- across Rte 1 to the National Guard and all the way down back under Rte 1 at 2 area's and into Seaview Terrace. Bob was shocked to say the least. Each member of Council received that detailed packet and NEVER commented, never asked one question, acted like the never got it. That was in 11/2011.

Instead, they claim, this map, that map, the aerial view, 1930, this belief, that opinion, brook,ditch,swale, countering Belfast City Engineer citing my back yard is a private property drainage ditch, Slocum lies saying a natural stream to which he tries to reason this gives him authorization to flood us to death, using the ordinance that runoff can go to a near by natural out with Council approval ! But wait, he is also saying that the City is not sending any water to us. But wait, he lies all the time.  Drown and destroy the 12 families on Seaview Terrace. Slocum and Mayor Ash say  in the meeting, that's just the way it is, it's unfortunate, he's sorry! We're dispensable-hey Hurley did you tell that to my neighbors as you were back stabbing me.  What a waste of skin and organs. 

Anyone can follow the forced water paths to private property of Seaview Terrace, a flood zone. Spring thaw of 2009 and 2011 sent water roaring over the huge culvert at the top of Seaview, almost taking a car, tore away over 600 ft of my property and almost flowed over Northport Ave as confirmed by Mike Hogan, Annex architect.I could go on for hours with facts, pictures and the few documents I was able to score while City Planner, Wayne Marshall was out. My drainage ditch is my private property for my drainage ONLY not for over 7 businesses from miles outside of Seaview and those residences in that area (Birch St., Congress St., Wight St, Seaview Terrace opposing neighbors and probably Cedar St. and more) What a disaster, how evil are these City Hall people? Very.

Further disgust is that all the residents, businesses and reputations are hurt by this abuse and burning. Thousands of hours in covering up, we all know the truth. 

GLOVES OFF, NO RESPECT EARNED AND CONSISTENT DISRESPECT TO ME. I DIP INTO THEIR CESS POOL BRIEFLY. 

Split Personality is on display. City Planner, Wayne Marshall performing the act of true manipulation. After being caught with his pants down in violating residents rights over and over, he goes all out to appear resident friendly, going above and beyond, tenderizing the meat for more slaughter.Preparing the Rte 3 development with preaching of public input, going beyond law with impact studies to decide site approval...all the same tactics for the corrupt construction of CASS and all abutting and watershed residents got corrupt water and lied to and tortured during the entire 3 year planning phase. Only for Wayne to violate and not comply with final approved site plans and conditions. Countless corruption proof in City Planner, Wayne Marshall's projects. Construction begins, it is not as approved. Enter hell as you to prove with every document in Wayne Marshall's office and City Wall Hall taking the 5th. Their motto "Get an attorney and try and sue us with all residents and businesses footing the Carte blanche City Attorney's foot dragging corrupt defense."
 

CITY MANAGER JOE SLOCUM AND COUNCIL MIKE HURLEY DISGUSTINGLY CONTINUE TO ASSAULT, ABUSE AND ABSCOND WITH PROTECTION OF CITY WALL HALL. Link to the meeting is below. No one responded to my email below. I read it at the meeting and Joe Slocum flips his silence stance. He tells me he will email me the modifications. I tell him no, it is on the agenda and modifications need to be made public. He is cornered and must agree. AGAIN, they try to manipulate the public in communications where I cannot respond. Joe Slocum is leading the public to believe that I'm looking for the City to fix my property for the huge slaughter of water illegally being forced to our NEIGHBORHOOD because of business development. TIF is for this but they only build sewers when they can't force it to private property and lie.

City Manager, Joe Sloscum is trying to make this a one case personal vendetta. It is a stupid, ignorant defense.  I have proved time and time and time and so on again and again. I have volumes of incriminating emails, spoke and attended some 20 and counting meetings, endured 3 years of City Wall Hall manipulating, with holding, intent to mentally break, hammering and bullying as the water is flying at us from every runoff event. NEVER, NEVER, DO THEY ADDRESS THE PROVEN PATHS COMING INTO US FROM OUTSIDE OF SEAVIEW TERRACE- HURLEY SAYING IT IS NOT HIS FAULT- HE DIDN'T MOVE THE STREAM, DITCH, SWALE- A BIG MYSTERY AS TO WHAT IT IS! IN 1987 THE CITY ENGINEER INVESTIGATING FLOODING TO SEAVIEW TERRACE BACK THEN RULED IT WAS A PRIVATE PROPERTY DRAINAGE DITCH!

1/31/13 Seaview Terrace Drowning Letters and Pics


SLOCUM GOES ON TO SAY IT'S ALL GRAVITY! Wow gravity digs ditches,culverts, can stop and go across rather than down- Belfast has special Slocum Gravity!  LOOK AT THE MAP I MADE ! GRAVITY FROM WAY OVER AND UP TO CASS- GRAVITY FROM ACROSS RTE 1 FROM THE NATIONAL GUARD DOWN AND ACROSS RTE 1 TO US. GRAVITY FROM WIGHT ST WHERE GRAVITY WOULD BE STRAIGHT DOWN TO CITY PARK AND THE BAY. YOU INSTALL DOUBLE CULVERTS(That Tax Assessor Bob Whitley said were new. Now, Slocum says they were replaced, the originals were old...surely another lie) AT PICKERINGS ON WIGHT ST TO SEND IT TO US ACROSS AND OVER AND DOWN. THEN FURTHER DOWN WIGHT ST. YOU STOP THE GRAVITY FROM THE NATURAL PATH AND PROBABLY THE ORIGINAL MORRISEY BROOK PATH INTO CITY PARK. BUT WIGHT ST IS GETTING WIPED OUT EVEN WITH ROAD SIDE DRAINAGE. SEND IT ACROSS TO SEAVIEW TERRACE. AND GRAVITY DIGS ANOTHER TRENCH TO TAKE IT ACROSS-BEHIND THE WCGH ANNEX AND INTO MY PROPERTY ALONG WITH THE NEW RUNOFF FROM THE NEW ANNEX THAT IS ALSO ILLEGAL AND CORRUPT. NEW SITES ARE TO ONSITE DRAIN.

Then Hurley jumps in again saying not responding isn't working because I keep banging the drum. Sloscum jumps in with the corrupt stupid City Attorney letter again, the 12 Commandments of Corruption. Never have they discussed MY findings of fact, my proof, just keep steam rolling over me as THEY keep spouting the same lies over and over as truth, manipulating and manipulating

Slocum ends with "Can't dress it up or change it" to which Mayor Ash responds  "It is what it is!" Nancy Hamilton and Eric Sanders in agreement. He gets stoked up about a bicycle but could give 2 ***** about drowning the residents of Seaview Terrace. Earlier he said people hate him for living in New York for 17? years. No Eric, maybe there's another reason why you may think people hate you.

Which is corruption and the slaughter of Seaview Terrace. How many ego idiots can you fit into one room? Watch the meeting and count.

https://vimeo.com/69643496 7/2 City Council Meeting viewer may ff to times I have provided for agenda's skateboard, TIF approval, Rail Trail and Brooks Preservation Agreement, IMPACT STUDIES Grandstanding BS for Rte 3 business by Wayne Marshall, Parking Harbor Walk, Open to public. I speak at both open to the public-first before the meeting I am hopeful- and after the meeting at the last open to the public- I come back to speak. I announce they are liars, backstabbers, CLARIFY AGAIN my request is to get sewers outside of Seaview Terrace for all the business development runoff the City is forcing to our floodzone private property. And after I leave- they try to manipulate my request AGAIN. Saying I am asking for work on my private property!!  Slocum saying I can ask 100x and the answer will be no. This guy is delusional and dangerous. He refuses to deal with reality, truth and facts. Getting the City Attorney, another pea in the evil ego pod, to add to the manipulation and smokescreen of true issues. Wayne Corey advising for Belfast to pull out of RSU20 independent and other towns can join at same tax rate per pupil. He's got merit,tells the City they have worked so hard to let our taxes go so high. Basically that they are incompetent. 
ff 7:53-10:42 I ask that this secret TIF modification approval be made public when it is discussed on agenda. Joe Slocum tries to manipulate and avoid public explanation by trying to get me to accept an email later. NOT! 

10:43-15:49 Wayne Corey- Have Belfast stand alone with schools and gentle nailing to incompetence. He is a planning board member too. This man has truth.

15:49 Nice young men, Tyler Kindle, Searsport and Devon Johnson, speak for skate boarders. Asking for leniency and for a safe place to board. 

30:58 Eric Sanders states that many people hate him for the fact that he lived in New York for 16 years? No, it's not because of New York.

32:22 Hurley tries to plant a seed that my drainage ditch is this Morrisey Brookreferenced in Williams History of Belfast?? Wow, did it show this in a documented survey when there wasn't any development. Wayne Marshall has a huge aerial colored picture 1956? showing a small, small stream in the trees. No development in the picture. Showed it to me the day in hell when they took the wall map down into hiding,refused to let me see the maps on the rollers, and Wayne came running out with that one. At that time, it meant nothing to me. Two weeks ago, I knew that picture could prove the stream was no where near my house. Now that picture has gone missing, never existed. Just like the maps on the Planning Office where Wayne Marshall traced all the paths of water being forced into Seaview Terrace at my visit in April 2010. I told him he couldn't do that, I wanted a copy of that map and for months he refused. Gave me other flood zone maps and said he never had a map like that. It was never on the wall, what he traced on the wall was to show me the City Park??? Liar. 
 Slocum states that's the "Morrisey Brook in the CITY PARK- and it's gravity- well hello Joe- it wouldn't detour over to me from Birch St. Gravity would take it straight down- aka- Wight St?? Oh you know that street- that's where you diverted the water to me from the then Chairman of the Planning Board Roger Pickering's home with the double culverts, and then down a bit from there with the dug out path to run behind the annex to me. And just after that, seems Roger stepped down from the Chairman. Huh, some coincidence.

 39:05 Skateboards with Hurley and Chief.

47:35 Eric Sanders appears be having a break down over bicycles. Telling everyone to "BACK OFF RIGHT NOW"  Another split personality display. He's in a snit for some time after until he gets to question the school budget.

55:33-1:09:?? Wayne Marshall goes into his portrayal as the City Planner with such heartfelt concern to the public with his BS impact studies (both Slocum and Marshall corrupt and with hold any info on the impact study to watershed residents for the CASS construction. Was it done and failed? Was it not done and therefore violated compliance? Someone please ask. I have the actual requirement for the study from the engineer. I'll give you a copy so he has to produce the exact study. They refuse to respond to me, saying that they give me documents and I am too stupid to know I have them. Don't let them give you files upon files. That's what Wayne Marshall does, claiming the document is in the files. NOT. FOAA is useless.) Tell him to hand you the specific Impact Study to Watershed Residents from Miller St. to the Bay for per the WBRC engineer letter to Mike Morse, DEP (a copy is on the picture album

1:32:58-1:44:16 Rail Trail with Brooks and evasive Bill Kelly

1:52:20 School Resource Officer confusion. Clearly cementing Wayne Corey-Council is clueless. Eric,Hurley and Slocum make sly comments about Wayne Corey? Not sure what they are referring to "basically go pound sand..." said Hurley.

1:58:22 TIF agenda with Thomas. He is clear, respectful and tells Council they can include Seaview Terrace into the TIF but they have not shown any interest. Thomas does not manipulate it to a private property issues as Slocum does. But Thomas does bend it a bit, not saying the flooding to Seaview Terrace is from lack of sewers to carry to the runoff to the bay from all the 7,8,9? business developments forced channeled to drain into Seaview Terrace.This would be a TIF expense.

2:04:06 Slocum tries to manipulate it back to a simple private property drainage issue that the City has no hand in. He pulls out the 12 commandments of corruption letter again from the City Attorney. To which all the blind mice support as a valid response. 

2:05:23 Hurley slides in the stormwater work done for Front St. to allow Joe to defend that drainage expense and work on private property.  Joe takes the bait, goes into the Morrisey Brook theory again, saying the City didn't put the brook there? And this is relevant how Joe? Nothing is factual, just digging another rabbit hole. Slocum does say they can put drainage with the road on Seaview Terrace! There you go. ONE OUT OF TWO. NOW JUST BUILD THE SEWERS FOR ALL THAT RUNOFF COMING TO US FROM OUTSIDE OF SEAVIEW TERRACE. PURE AND SIMPLE. STOP THE MADNESS.

2:09:04 Downtown Parking

2:16:20 Harbor Walk path change? from Mayor Ash at last meeting. Why the path was changed with out verbal discussion or approval from Council not addressed. 

2:24:55-2:27:00 OPEN TO THE PUBLIC- I HIT THE PODIUM BLAZING. Tell them the are manipulating back stabbers and lying. I show my map,massive flow from runoff outside of Seaview Terrace that is sent to our private property.The TIF could build that sewer to keep the business runoff on City Property. They have no rights of way or easements to Seaview Terrace, shove this pointless Morrisey Brook rabbit hole back, tell them they break the law over and over and will cause a riot in town. Shame them and realtors for lying to buyers of this corruption that ruins lives. I tell them this is just beginning.

2:28:28 Hurley starts up with his manipulation again, with the moving of stream, he didn't do it... this same shadow of a man, who said in the 2011 meetings (see sidebar for actual meetings and accounting) that "IT IS THE COUNCIL'S RESPONSIBILITY" Now he wants to respond with City manipulated "facts" of finding. AGAIN- WATER DOES NOT LIE. YOU KNOW YOU ARE FLOODING US. SPARE US YOUR NONE-SENSE AND MADNESS.
And then Slocum refers back to the 12 commandments of corruption letters. Saying Council will not respond. Way to manage Joe. Dictate and do as I say. What other governments have fallen prey to evil leaders? How does Council allow this? After 3 years of me pounding the truth, you still refuse to see? Or are you all just as evil? I'm thinking the latter, no one can be that naive. Except maybe innocent Jennika. Nora, you have my sympathy and respect.  





All the water pouring to us is from BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT- TIF'S ARE FOR SEWERS FROM THEIR RUNOFF. JOE SLOCUM AND WAYNE MARSHALL SAVE CITY PROPERTY WITH SEWERS AND DESTROY RESIDENTS PROPERTIES WITH MALICE! Slocum defends with proven corrupt City Attorney not finding "credible" evidence. Only if you are an imbecile and that is even an insult to the imbecile. Slocum goes on to say sewers are to protect the roads- he verified in 8/2011 that Seaview Terrace is crumbling because the City did not provide roadside drainage. Come and see where he says it is not being sent to my private property, where he said they didn't do drainage on private property at 26 and 27 Seaview Terrace, but then I PROVED he was lying and said ooops yes it was done, but 8 years prior...lying again to avoid statutes, refusing to give me City Work Orders for heavy equipment, so caught again, and said ooops, yes, but it was done to save the road. The ditch is nowhere near the road. OK now stay with me, he has finally plead guilty to City work on private property drainage. But, in the last 2 meetings he is condemning himself by stating he and the City are precluded from the work he admitted doing!

In this meeting, 7/2/13 he is now rambling that the City has never done private property drainage and is precluded from doing it. THIS MAN IS CLEARLY DELUSIONAL. HE IS NOT MENTALLY FIT TO MANAGE OUR BELFAST. Ditto with Hurley, Marshall and Kelly. Almost forgot Todd Rosenburg, Code Officer what he did to Dr. Morrow was horrible(see sidebar for video's of actual meeting with summary, cost her thousands to stop his flooding violation). He was nasty to me too, refused to let me look at maps visible on a roller in the planning office. Said he had orders not to help me. See the side bar for that day of hell in City Hall trying to get public documents.

City Wall Hall intended, conscience, repeated violations of site ordinances to remove plowed snow from all the sites from miles outside of Seaview Terrace that are surrounding us, forced channeled to us can result in death/murder. Wild rapids melting after a winter of site snow stock piling, confirmed by the Belfast Police Dept. and Chief of Police. The volume is deadly and has destroyed property, almost swept away cars  and destroyed roads-confirmed by City Manager, Joe Slocum when he was forced to a meeting at my home in 8/2011!! His summary of written denial is chock full of lies and manipulation stupidity. Too many of these stupid emails to post. 

WE ARE A FLOOD ZONE, FLOOD PLAIN, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DIVERT WATER AND PROTECT. YOU ARE DROWNING US. CORRUPTION OFF THE CHARTS- RIGHT UP TO COMMISSIONER AHO, DEP, CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR DEPARTMENT WIDE CORRUPTION! IN EFFECT AT COMPLIANCE PROCESS- State law ordered an impact study to the watershed residents for the huge Captain Albert Stevens School construction. Belfast City Hall collected fees for the IMPACT STUDY and Joe Slocum refuses to 'SPECULATE" as to why the study was not done. CITY HALL BREAKS THE LAW AGAIN AND SENDS ALL THIS WATER TO US AND COVERS IT UP. Intent to drown and destroy a group of people...what is the word for that? Hurley finds that word-genocide- offensive from his dry City protected perch. It is not if, it is when, and the weather is wild. SAVE US BEFORE WE'RE ARE GONE!!

 Mayor Ash/AAA Emergency & Councilor Hurley,

You are the only AAA provided in Belfast to which I am a Premiere member. After you came to my house in 7/2011 for a dead battery and you were cornered to look at the destruction. At that time, you, Council and the City Manager probably received over 10 emails from requesting pleading for assistance and for a site visit. No one responded, no one came. You played ignorant, saying you thought the City Manager, Joe Slocum already took care of this. You looked at the severe erosion, crumbling into the ever growing ravine. You said you could get some rocks to stop the sliding but you never did. You stopped taking my emergency AAA calls - a dead battery, which caused my son to be hours late to school, a frozen starter?-was probably luck you didn't come for that one- doubt Poolers guy was great- he thought that may be it before towing me, I got a hairdryer, warmed it up and off I went. And the most frightening, when my Explorer locked up, and flew down Park Row in Bayside, heading for the bay. The snow bank just stopped me from going over- one wheel over, the other close- attempts to back it out pushed it closer to rolling over. Waiting and freezing with my kids for close to an hour, a stranger came and pulled me out....

Apparently Councilor Hurley has schemed up some new findings of fact to slam on me and further the lies. Stated at the end of the 7/2/13 meeting. Go ahead Mike, knock yourself out. Here's a refresher of the last time you nailed me and then the City Attorney forced you into silence. But, biting at the bit, you manage a few and laugh and sneer at me at every meeting and from your perch when I'm protesting in the center of town. The last 2 days have Belfast even smelling nasty. Go Figure. You and your buddies, Joe Slocum-City Manager and Wayne Marshall-The City Planner have done a fine job of creating near riot conditions. See the editorial and the visitor abused by the 5 star Belfast Bay Inn. The waterfront and businesses, residents, fighting, accosting, cursing out innocent delivery drivers....force drowning 12 families in the flood zone Seaview Terrace and I'm not even tipping the scale of City wide corruption.

Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

Two critical emails for Seaview Terrace were sent to all. Sent and accepted included the Mayor, Joe Slocum,  Mandy Olver (engineer), Governor LePage, and the EPA . Delivery failed to City Council and Chief McFadden. I resent the Chief's to his secretary- Diana Story- also failed.  

Since all recipients did not fail to send, the glitch or block is on your end. This will serve as notice for City Manager Joe Slocum to forward those emails to all City Council and the Chief. They are also available for viewing on www.boycottbelfast.blogspot.com

Governor, EPA and Attorney General,

The Governor, Attorney General and DEP have dismissed this illegal government forced water slaughter to Seaview Terrace for the 4 years I have been trying to save Seaview Terrace. The Belfast PD has taken active steps to intimidate me and I want this on record that you have been notified.

As for the EPA, this is the first contact. You can see all the runoff being forced to our private properties from highway, roofs, parking lots, and unknown. From here it goes into the Penobscot Bay, untreated.

Commissioner Aho dismissed her corrupt investigation illegally allowing this run off into Seaview Terrace from the Captain Albert Stevens School. She is corrupt and it would be pointless to tell me to go to her.

This is record that the EPA has been notified. Brenda Kielty please forward this to Janet Mills, AG. 

Responses advising me to contact other agencies are refused. It is your responsibility to act and get all runoff forced into Seaview Terrace out of Seaview Terrace immediately. 

Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

Laurie,

I have not blocked your emails. I get a lot of emails from a lot of different people… And I chose not to select the “Notify sender” when I open them. This is not an act that I perform specifically for you, but for anyone who sends me a receipt upon opening request. I’m fairly certain I’m getting all of your emails, so there’s no worries here…

Mike.

Chief,

I sent these emails the same as usual. I do not have any idea how to send a receipt received request. That is not necessary because of the sent option, whether you choose to read it is your decision. My only concern is that you received it. Here's the copy stating delivery failed. Thanks, Laurie.

Laurie,

To be honest I have no idea how to set up a notification either… But I did notice that one of your more recent emails had one on it for some reason… After reading the below, I can understand why you’d think I wasn’t getting that email…  and the string does not look familiar to me, so I actually may not have gotten that one. But everything seems to be working smoothly with the emails now..

Thanks for making me understand…

Mike. 

That is the last email from the Chief.
