Watching police intimidation tactics and violations of civil rights especially against protestors and activists, I see I am becoming more threatened by City Hall every day, every second. Posting and documenting is the only protection I have.

Chief McFadden and Officer Rolerson,
Due to recent difficult communications with Chief McFadden, below is the cover letter, estimate and transmission confirmation of the faxes sent to 207-338-0258 as stated on the incident card of BPD Michael Rolerson on 2/26/2015 and 2/27/2015 (my fax machine date and times were not updated since I bought it in 2006?. Leap years and time changes account for the 4 day 4 hour difference.)
On 2/10/2015 @ 2:05 PM the incident occurred as stated in prior emails below and repeated here:
2. I was parked facing out towards Lions Way and James Sprague was parked behind me facing the football field.
3. James did not look behind him and went to back out of the adult ed parking lot and slammed into me. It was a slam, not a tap. He used the pedal.
4. I would like a copy of the accident report.
5. Please advise how I will know if James has filed this with his insurance company and who I can follow up with.
Furthermore, Officer Rolerson advised me to get the estimate with in 30 days, the estimate is dated 2/24/2015. I noted that Mr. Sprague's insurance card was expired. Officer Rolerson and Mr. Sprague discussed how they both were guilty of not switching out the expired cards with the new one's. Mr. Sprague stated that it was on his refrigerator. Mr. Sprague's daughter was in his truck and stated that Officer Rolerson was the coolest officer. Mr. Sprague and Officer Rolerson went to school together in Belfast. They said they know each other well. J&B Auto Body of Belfast had done a corrupt repair on my SUV and I was at a loss as to who to take my SUV to for the estimate. Mr. Sprague recommended Phil's Auto Body in Warren and Officer Rolerson mentioned Dane Edgecomb of Searsmont as an excellent Auto Body repairman.
I chose to take it to Bernatche Auto Body in Bangor because they repaired my daughter's car after J&B Auto Body corrupted my repair and intimidated me. Tony Bernatche and his son looked at J&B's repair and agreed it was a poor job. I paid for my daughter's repair, out of pocket and found Tony Bernatche to be a man of integrity and accountability.
This filing of the incident with James Sprague is concerning me because in 2012, the procedures were not difficult for another incident where a driver attempted to exit Lower Congress Street, Belfast and make a left, crossing over Rte 1 South to travel onto Rte 1 North. I was traveling to that intersection on Rte 1 South. The driver did not see me and hit me broad side. I got the estimate from J&B Auto Body, the driver's insurance company sent me a letter to confirm the accident and I received a check for repair shortly afterward. I did not have to contact the Belfast Police Department at all.
Therefore, for protection, I have documented the events of this incident. Chief McFadden has not confirmed receipt of the estimate that I sent for the 2nd time to the fax in his office on 2/27/15 @ 3:43 pm. The Chief's instructions to try and catch his officer in the department, but doesn't know when he will be working and then I should contact the officer's Sargent (no names given, and so on so forth as the Chief has written below) is confusing and alarming considering the abuse I endure from Belfast City Hall where the Chief was of great help to me. Until the City Manager, Joe Slocum threw the Chief under the bus with the zoning conditions to remove plowed snow from the CASS site. Joe Slocum also ordered police protection present at the City Council meetings after City Hall could not intimidate me into silence. From there, things went against me with communications and relations with Chief McFadden and Officer Ward.
That was confirmed when I received a suspicious letter in 10/2014 and I brought it the Belfast Police Department to have Chief McFadden inspect it. I had not opened it. Officer Ward told me the Chief was not in and that he could inspect the letter. Previous dealings with Officer Ward were not ethical. I told Officer Ward that I wanted the Chief to handle this. Officer Ward said he would have the Chief contact me, he had my phone number and expected the Chief back within the hour. The Chief never contacted me.
I opened the letter weeks later, and it was anonymous. It told me to run for City Council. I believe it was from City Council Mike Hurley.
At this point, Officer Rolerson has all the documentation to complete the incident report. If Officer Rolerson has any discrepancies with my reporting of the incident I will expect an email from Officer Rolerson stating specifics. Please advise of number 5.
5. Please advise if how I will know if James has filed this with his insurance company and who I can follow up with.

Laurie,
1)
I cannot confirm that we received the fax of your estimate. The fax
machine is in my office and I do not see your estimate sitting in it. My
suggestion is you need to contact the Officer who investigated the
incident. If he’s not working, you should ask to speak with his
sergeant. You may find that you need to wait until the Officer is back
at work before the report is complete.
2)
The Officers report should indicate where the vehicles were parked and
what happened just prior to the accident. If after reviewing the report
you have anything to add you should address it with the Officer or your
insurance company.
3)
I wasn’t there so I’m not sure what may have caused the accident. But
I’m confident the Officer is more than capable of investigating it.
You’re in good hands as far as that’s concerned.
4)
You should request your insurance company get a copy of the report. But
if you want to get a copy for them there is a cost, depending on the
number of pages.
5) I do not cover traffic accidents. You will have to contact the Officer who covered the accident to get this information.
Officer Rolerson’s email address is r.rolerson@belfastmepd.org
Mike.

*****************************************************************
Earlier thread of emails with the Chief and City Hall breaking ordinance and calling me in as a threat
| For
quick reference of all the corruption- this (copied from below) has
really shaken me up- no boundaries- he fooled me. I want to trust the
police that are supposed to protect me. Trust is so broken.
Laurie,
I
read through the emails you sent me, but to tell you the truth I
haven’t identified anything the Police would or should become involved
in. That being said I want you to feel comfortable calling on us if
someone/something is causing you to become afraid. I wish you nothing
but good luck with your efforts, I said that to you when we met and I
mean it.
As
for me being mislead about you. I really hope I didn’t project that to
you. My impression of you really only got better after we spoke, but it
didn’t change. My impression of you was that you are a fighter (Not a
bad thing) and you’re not afraid to stand up for what you think is
right. (again not a bad thing) I met you and I found you to be genuine
and believable, and I enjoyed our conversation. I understood your
frustrations with the City, and I even felt comfortable enough speaking
with you to tell you about something I didn’t particularly care for.
(Your comment about the Police Officer at the City Council meeting).
Something I wouldn’t have done if I thought you were a hot head or
argumentative. Believe it or not our conversation that day was one of
the highpoints of the day for me. Thank you for coming in to talk with
me.(During this conversation, the Chief
had
shared that he restores old tractor mowers. I had just had the same TWC
tech at my house for the 3rd? time for internet issues. I am very
chatty- told him about City Hall corruption-realtors- everything- he
also knew my bully brother- similar to the Wall greed- George Allen VP
of Beeline Cable-Skowhegan.We both give George high marks for his
success in turning Beeline around. The tech has kids in the school- I
enjoyed talking to the tech. He tested the internet by bringing up a
youtube video by his anonymous brother-in-law. The tech showed me this
restoration of a tractor mower with no brakes. I
looked at the Chief and said "Hey, your brother-in-law is
the Time Warner Cable Guy, I just saw your youtube video" The Chief
looked like he'd been caught with more than just his and in the cookie
jar.
I didn't understand why at the time. Now I do. Unethical insider
information and access to home computers of TWC customers. BIG. I now
request no service from that tech. I have been protecting him because I
do not want him to lose his job. He should have to disclose his relation
to prior Belfast detective- now Belfast Chief of Police before to entry
into private homes and computers)...

Marina,
Just now on Sunday Morning, Brad Pitt spoke about his help to New Orleans. He said nothing makes him angrier than hearing that the devastation was due to an "Act of God" when it is the "Failure of Man". Deja Vu.
Looking the other way through rose colored glasses is open invitation for those who have other ways. Someone has to fight back- you are not willing to see it and that is dangerous since you are Council. It is difficult and crushing while you support evil dealings and that has happened to other residents. However, they don't have the money to fight back or the strength. You will see, I hope you will try before it blows up.
Sincerely,
Laurie

I wanted to thank the Chief for reaching out to me on 1/30/12 in regards to the email below. I want to clarify the email and put Marina at ease. I meant that it is dangerous for ME that Marina does not see or acknowledge that I feel threatened because of the verbal discrediting/slander broadcast on TV from Mike Hurley, Joe Slocum and Wayne Marshall.
I meant that I will continue to make this very public until resolution ( hence, before it blows up). I have been trying since May to handle this with dignity and honesty. At minimum, it would have been professional and ethical for the slander and discrediting against me to have been publically retracted as I requested and was denied. For the record, I will forward those communications from Mike Hurley and me. I did express concern for my safety yesterday to Chief McFadden. There are many men with anger issues against strong women. Mike Hurley had no right to place me in jeopardy.
I should have contacted the Chief of Police immediately but didn't want to cause further friction.
Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

Hi Laurie,
Thank-you for your email.
I feel a little guilty and embarrassed now about
what was clearly an overreaction to your email, but I did feel threatened by the
language and was truly afraid that things had escalated out off control and
might end in violence.
I have been fully reassured by the Chief that there
is no danger of physical harm from you, and I hope that you can have that
same reassurance for yourself in regards to the Council. We have no desire to
keep you from having your say. Nobody has any plans or desire to have you
intimidated from having your say, and I'm quite certain that the Chief did a
good job at conveying that. Marina, you felt threatened by an innocent email from me? You
don't think I am threatened with all that is happening because of City
Planning? Rather than Council have an honest conversation with me,
Council has allowed me to be slandered, has hired police protection in
meetings where I may speak, has brought in the City Attorney to support
Council/City and was another sham, not giving me time to see that
nothing was resolved, was asked in for conversation with the Chief of
Police ( which probably gave authorization to do a back ground check on
me and create a video and file), have had documents with held, hidden
altogether, lied to by the City Manager and Planner that stream was
natural, even though a blind man could determine it wasn't, lied
to that City work has not been done on private property and then when
caught lying again about when it was done, and then when caught again,
lying about the reasons it was done, claiming routine maintenance when
it was initiated by residents complaint therefore making the City
accountable and responsible and breaking the strom water state
law, therefore Belfast can fix private property and has, so another
lie, Belfast has taken a flood plain that was over 240 acres of ground
absorbtion, built it up all over, and funneled (even from across rte 1
up and down) all the strom water runoff to my yard and I'm lectured on
rainfall and Act's of God, resident's have been protesting against City
Planning's lying and deceving ways for a very long time and will be made
public, you are naively putting me in danger but allowing public
slander of me with any viewer deciding that this woman needs to be put
in her place- violence against women is rampent and Belfast Council is
promoting it through me.
I have been insulted several times, quite
outrageously, by Mike Hurley, as have many, many other people. It's almost
a rite of passage living in Belfast, and anyone who has lived in Belfast for
awhile is very aware of this. Rather than damaging your reputation, you are much
more likely to have gained sympathy from the public Rite
of passage- what are you thinking? Take all of this to a mediator,
therapist, someone unbiased because Belfast has been conditioned that
this treatments is acceptable. It is not.
He rarely apologizes. But he will often turn right
around later and do something kind and helpful.
Believe it or not, after his rant, he tried to find a
way that we could help you to reinforce the banks of your stream inexpensively
using some kind of wire netting system. We were told that the City can not
selectively help out in matters involving private property- that in matters
concerning drainage if we set a precedent it could cost millions and
millions of dollars to help everyone else.. But Mike did sincerely make an
effort to help you, doing research as to what was out there that could do the
job inexpensively. He does really care about people, he just has a very short
fuse, But once he's blown off steam, he doesn't hold on to his anger.
Physically, I can assure you, he wouldn't hurt a fly, and you are in no
danger. This is acceptable behavior of a City
Official, year 2012 with the only public movie theatre in the area?? FOR
THE FINAL TIME, THE CITY HAS HELPED MY NEIGHBORS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
ILLEGALLY WITH STORM WATER NEGATIVELY AFFECTING MT PROPERTY.
Laurie, at the neighborhood site visit, I heard both Chris
Cabot from the DEP and Mike Hogan say that your drainage and erosion problem was
not a serious one, and that it could be adequately addressed with $2000 to $3000
worth of work. I know that you are very hard up for money, so perhaps there is
little comfort in that for you. But I also I know that you feel your
house is in imminent danger, but that is not the impression that I got from them
at all.Why don't you hear ME, acknowledge my
information on the flooding that has happened- almost taking Becky
Gibbons car down the road, flooding out her yard, flowing over the
Merril's across Seaview Terrace into the Hand's, the road cracking from
all the water underneath- ponds for front yards because of flooding us
and not storm water drainage, 600 feet of my property being swept away, Perhaps Mike Hogan would be willing to talk to you about that and have
some helpful suggestions. I don't know how you heard this because
it was not said to me and I should have been the person it was told to
because it is not true. I have given you the estimate of at least 45-75k
and you still come back to me with this. Please read up on Wetlands
stabilization. Gordon Contracting is expert and accurate in their
knowledge. Mike Hogan is not reliable or credible. I don't want to
insult you. You are my representative and are you not representing me
professionally or ethically. You are obligated to intercede and respond
to me. I cannot understand Joe Slocum or Wayne Marshall, they lie to me
and don't answer my questions. I will come to meeting after meeting
until you give me direct, understandable answers to my direct questions

1. Does the City of Belfast site construction storm water draining ordinance over ride Maine State law for site construction storm water draining?
2. Does the City of Belfast ordinance for resident storm water draining by accumulating and draining to another, enhanced by the City of Belfast on 10/1/09 with heavy equipment on private property, over ride Maine State Law stating it is illegal to accumulate/puddle storm water and send to another?
3. Please provide the City of Belfast ordinances for all storm water rules.
4. Does the City of Belfast noise level ordinance provided to me at 75 dBA over ride Maine State law of 60dBA and below?
Previous responses of not knowing anything about storm water or unable to request records are unacceptable. I am requesting for this information to be reviewed and deemed acceptable by you before forwarding to me.
Please provide a reasonable time frame that I can expect these answers before I am forced to appear before the Council for such.
Please respond on your ward 1 email, not your personal email address.
Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

I have received some free information from the Waldo
County Cooperative Extension about various inexpensive plantings that I can
do to help prevent erosion along the bank of my property in Stockton
Springs. I don't know if that would be helpful information for you, but if you
think it might be, their phone number is 342-5971.
Best wishes,

Dear Chief McFadden,
I will not be involving you (unless I am afraid) in the rest of this City Saga. I think it is appropriate to forward this last email (and I will give you all of them if you wish) because it is clear that since May I can't get a straight answer from City Officials on the most basic storm water requests.
I may be wrong, but I got the impression that you were mislead about my character and integrity. I am beginning to prevail having held on through the storm. I found you to be impressive and fair. I hope we maintain mutual respect and celebrate the fun of no brakes! Superbowl in the garage?? Toast one for me and many for Tom Brady. I'm hooked.

Jennika and Mr. Haslam,
This is the response I received in the mail from Wayne Marshall and it does not answer my request. Please advise of storm water paths from the annex- where entering and where exiting, in writing.

REPLY TO LAURIE ALLEN EMAIL OF JANUARY 24,2012
From Wayne Marshall, City Planner
January 25,2012
Ms. Allen requested information regarding the drain pipe that is located on the Hospital annex property about equidistant between the Costello and Smith properties. I visited the site with Mike Hogan on January 24 to inspect the site and to ensure that my knowledge of this drainage pipe was accurate.
The pipe is a 4" plastic (green in color) pipe that proves drainage for the generator pad located on Hospital annex property. The generator pad is 7'x7' in size; 39 square feet. This small drainage area contributes very little if any storm water (groundwater) to the the stream located between the Hospital site and the Smith/Costello properties. This drain pipe does not serve (drain) any other area. I have a attached a portion of the site plan that identifies the approximate location of the drain pipe and the location of the generator.
As stated by Ms. Allen, the existence and location of this drainage pipe is not shown on the site plan, however it was noted when the Planning Board conducted a site visit associated with its review of the Preliminary Plan for this project.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
????? I never mentioned this pipe, please respond specifically to my email dated 1/24 and copy that email to the the response. I have informed Mr. Haslam that there is a yellow caution tape on a tree where storm water is draining into the stream and was not approved to drain there. It is between my house and the Costello's.
Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

Hi,
This is the other concern that Mike Hogan has not cleared up for me. Bob Whitely is aware of it too- I showed it to him and he called Mike Hogan as well. I just checked the undisclosed/hidden ditch from the annex to the stream between my house and Costello's. It is still draining storm water from the Annex property and was NEVER approved in ANY of the planning. We were all there when Mike showed the point of exit at the stream. That is between the Costello's and Smith's and currently, hardly any storm is coming down. Even though I am questioning the legality of draining there, that spot is where Annex storm water is to be draining.
PLEASE ADVISE OF STORM WATER PATHS FROM THE ANNEX- WHERE ENTERING AND WHERE EXITING, IN WRITING. THREE TIMES NOW I HAVE BEEN SENT PLANS THAT DO NOT ANSWER THIS SIMPLE REQUEST.

Mr. Haslam,
This is not complying with State regulations. I am finding the City to be dishonest. I wanted to let you know. This is the last response form Joe Slocum last week to my inquiries on storm water management. I understand that there is a 7 year limit. Please advise of stormwater paths.

You
also asked about action which the Planning Board may take in response
to your concerns. The Planning Board, per City Charter and City
Ordinances, is responsible for the review of certain applications for
development, such as but not limited to subdivisions and site plans, to
determine compliance with City Ordinances. There is no review process of
Planning Board decisions by the City Council or by the City Manager.
Under the law, those reviews are for the Zoning Board of Appeals and if
necessary, the Courts.
As
an example, in your area, the Planning Board most recently reviewed an
application by Waldo County General Hospital to construct a new office
building. The Board found that this proposal satisfied all City
Ordinance requirements and voted in June 2011 to approve this project.
The statutory appeal period regarding that decision ended in late
July.

Good afternoon Ms. Allen:
Waldo County General Hospital submitted plans to the City of Belfast Planning Committee to construct the 125 Northport Avenue addition. After several public plan reviews, two neighborhood meetings, additional information requests by representatives of the of committee, and any requested revisions implemented, the project was found in compliance with state and local regulations, including storm water management. This building is under construction in compliance to those ordinances. If you feel the City of Belfast was in error in their approval of this project, your discussion is with them.

Laurie,
I
read through the emails you sent me, but to tell you the truth I
haven’t identified anything the Police would or should become involved
in. That being said I want you to feel comfortable calling on us if
someone/something is causing you to become afraid. I wish you nothing
but good luck with your efforts, I said that to you when we met and I
mean it.
As
for me being mislead about you. I really hope I didn’t project that to
you. My impression of you really only got better after we spoke, but it
didn’t change. My impression of you was that you are a fighter (Not a
bad thing) and you’re not afraid to stand up for what you think is
right. (again not a bad thing) I met you and I found you to be genuine
and believable, and I enjoyed our conversation. I understood your
frustrations with the City, and I even felt comfortable enough speaking
with you to tell you about something I didn’t particularly care for.
(Your comment about the Police Officer at the City Council meeting).
Something I wouldn’t have done if I thought you were a hot head or
argumentative. Believe it or not our conversation that day was one of
the highpoints of the day for me. Thank you for coming in to talk with
me.(During this conversation, the Chief
had shared that he restores old tractor mowers. I had just had the same
TWC tech at my house for the 3rd? time for internet issues. I am very
chatty- told him about City Hall corruption-realtors- everything- he
also knew my bully brother- similar to the Wall greed- George Allen VP
of Beeline Cable-Skowhegan.We both give George high marks for his
success in turning Beeline around. The tech has kids in the school- I
enjoyed talking to the tech. He tested the internet by bringing up a
youtube video by his anonymous brother-in-law. He did not appear in the
video but show his restoration of a tractor mower with no brakes. I
looked at the Chief and said "I saw your video- your brother-in-law is
the Time Warner Cable Guy" The Chief looked like he'd been caught with
more than just his and in the cookie jar. I didn't understand why at the
time. Now I do. Unethical insider information and access to home
computers of TWC customers. BIG. I now request no service from that
tech. I have been protecting him because I do not want him to lose his
job. He should have to disclose his relation to prior Belfast detective-
now Belfast Chief of Police before to entry into private homes and
computers)

This is serious business the Giants must be beaten.
Any fan of the Patriots is a friend of mine!!!

Hi, hope you are well. At the meeting last night was one of our finest. I wanted to talk to him but held back, I did not want to appear disrespectful or have him feel awkward. I tend to take a bad situation and try to find some humor or have a conversation- as you and I did. Apparently, because I am not presenting a bad attitude, Bill Kelly has sent me an unprofessional, personal observation letter. Bill tells me that trying to get Officials to answer my questions with a direct answer has become a "sport" for me and he sees this as harassment. He has told me that Officials, i.e.- City Council will not respond to my emails. This forces me to the City Council meetings to ask for direct answers to unanswered questions specific to an ordinance cited by Wayne Marshall in the 11/1/11 City Council Meeting. Wayne stated that local ordinance calls for persons to drain storm water/water to the nearest PUBLIC waterway-streams. That is the ordinance I want to see highlighted that gives permission for Wayne to use in flooding Seaview Terrace, a flood zone. The Seaview Terrace Stream is private property, the City has no rights of ways or easements. Wayne gave this ordinance in response to Mike Hurley's question to cite the storm water ordinance. Furthermore, Mike Hurley said that failure to provide City Storm water Sewers is the Council's problem and I am holding them accountable and responsible per Mike Hurley. They voted in 1/3/12 meeting to take no action. I feel that I am within my rights as a citizen to hold my government accountable and that this "self inflicted harassment" is bogus and an attempt to bait me or intimidate me again.
Please allow me to remain a law abiding respectful citizen and advise if I am in violation of any laws.
1.I plan to continue attending the City Council Meetings until the flooding and roads of Seaview Terrace has been resolved-fixed.
2.I will ask questions that have not been directly answered.
3.I would like to wear my shirt that says "Stop Flooding Seaview Terrace" and " www.belfastbullies.blogspot.com.
4. I display information on my SUV when I protest at City Hall.
a. One banner is BELFASTBULLIES.BLOGSPOT.COM
b. A sign reading Town and Country sold me an undisclosed dirty storm water sewer (on one side) City Planner, City Manager Bully Residents (on the other side)
5. I have my hatch back open with in the confines of the parking spot and an information board inside.
6. I protest with my sign "STOP FLOODING SEAVIEW" and I do not impose my cause verbally on anyone . I am cheerful and say good day to those give me eye contact.
7. Lastly, I was told by a supporter that the Supreme Court recently passed a ruling that residents are allowed to have political signs on their private property. All my signs are of political nature. I want to be sure that I am not breaking any laws and do not invite trouble of any kind. My children would be traumatized to see their Mom being cuffed, interrogated or put in the pokey and have to bail me out.
The City Attorney is trying to force be into getting legal counsel to speak for me. I speak for myself and will not get legal counsel. My meager money is to feed my children and pay my taxes, flood insurance and bills. It is shameful that our Council is using tax dollars for City Attorney and Police Protection for their...

I requested a copy of that map. Weeks later a bogus map was given instead and original went missing and lies that it never existed. How was I able to know where to trace the paths myself and make my own map on this blog?? I stated this at the 11/2011 meeting and did a banging on the podium. No concern, no investigation. In fact, Council Mike Hurley defends the corruption, appreciating Marshall and Slocum being a pinata against this ridiculous woman. He further attempts to slander me by threatening no help because after 7 months of the Council dodging and ignoring volumes of evidence, I had the audacity to go public!! The pain so clear, my voice cracking, fighting back tears when I gave the 7 month history of corruption and torture. Slocum, Marshall and Hurley wipe their feet on me after I have left the meeting right on public TV. It is beyond comprehension. It is disgusting.
Let me tell you Mike Hurley, this domestic survivor Mom, who spent the last of her dollars to fight and win relocation for the safety of her children, desperately did not want any attention. I needed peace and time with my children to heal and you ripped that from us/ You and the City Wall Hall continue the atrocity and slaying of myself and home , fueling the fire in NJ. All because the disaster Planning has created is an expensive mess to fix. Lets build a rail trail instead, go ahead with the Harbor Walk, give Wayne and Joe a raise, go for more grants for our visions, screw Seaview Terrace...yes, let's do that. Do I hear a 2nd? It's a vote- BUHBYE SEAVIEW TERRACE. Bang, Bang.

To All,
The Planning Board stated that snow removal is to be taken off site. Right now I am seeing a front loader dumping loads of snow to the banks of the ditch behind the annex up from the chiller. This will thaw into stream into the unauthorized path ( that everyone ignored against plea after plead) and further erode our properties and further endangering the huge tree. This tree is on the resident side, just holding on, directly across from the unauthorized drainage path into the stream.
Driving through CASS- snow also being dumped along sides where it will go into detention pond and illegally drain down to Seaview Terrace DEP "PROTECTED" wetlands, via the unapproved outlet behind and to the Miller St side of the Sweetser School.
It is more likely than not that every site above us is stock piling to drain to us as well as up and down Rte 1 from Huntress Gardens to the National Guard, both sides and Wayne knows where behind Prays.
You are killing us.
Sincerely,
Laurie Allen

Laurie,
As
we’ve spoken of before, the Police Department will respond to and
document calls of a criminal nature. We work hard to remove ourselves
from Civil type situations. If there is a law in the Maine State
Criminal Statutes regarding the illegal dumping of snow we will enforce
it. We will not simply take reports and document information on Civil
issues.

This is hard to understand. Illegal dumping of anything seems to be a first call to the police. I am asking for patrolling and enforcement of illegal snow dumping clearly visible and violated by use of front loaders on sites. Where there is a front loader operating, there must be a dump truck to haul it out. After visiting all the sites, the piled snow behind and piling at specific spots off the pavement is clearly in violation of ordinance below. A neighbor had reported another resident for shoveling snow into the street to clear the driveway exit from City snow plowing. The police responded to that call and gave the neighbor a warning. The spring thaw of 2009 and 2011 endangered every resident on Seaview Terrace because of this illegal practice that is criminal.

Laurie,
I’m
not sure I’m following you here. We may be speaking of two different
issues. It is not legal for someone to place snow on a public way. That
is very much a police issue. It was my impression that you were speaking
of illegal dumping of snow on a larger scale than someone with a snow
shovel. We may just have to evaluate each call on its own merit and
determine the nature of situation (Civil/Criminal).
I’m sure we can figure these things out as they crop up.
Thanks,
Mike.

Laurie,
There
wouldn’t be anything we could do about this particular type of
situation. In reality the snow you’ve documented has been removed from
the parking lots themselves, which is the only solution to removing snow
from these areas. I would be surprised to learn that snow in these
particular areas was being brought from other areas and dumped in the
locations you’ve documented.
Of course I’m not a snow bank authority and the above is simply my opinion. I could be wrong, but I really don’t think I am.

Hi Chief- Local
ordinance and the Planning/Zoning state that plowable snow is to be
removed off site. Not piling to melt to us. I never said it was being
brought in from other area's. I am in the process of sending this out to
many. If your department while patrolling saw a violation of City
ordinance, at minimum I would think the department would be required to
report it to the Zoning/City Manager and with a courtesy copy to me. The
victim. Thanks for anything you do.

Laurie,
I
did some research, first the Zoning Conditions of Approval document
indicates that the CASS school is responsible for snow removal. Any
potential violations of this document would be a zoning issue handled by
the board or by the code enforcement office. We as Police would have no
authority over this issue unless a state law or local ordinance was
violated. There are no state laws or ordinances enforceable by the
Police Department which would prohibit the school from removing snow
from the parking lots or events/sporting fields in the manner in which
they are currently doing it.
The
Armory issue is a little more difficult to research. I can not find any
documentation regarding any guidelines for snow removal on this
property. I think it’s highly unlikely that a condition to the zoning at
the time the armory was constructed would have included language that
mandated all snow be removed from the property, but I can’t find any
documents regarding that property more than likely due to the fact that
it was constructed prior to the evolution of our code enforcement office
from what I understand.
I’m
not defending anyone’s position on this and I’m not taking sides. I
just want to make myself clear to you why the Belfast Police Department
will not be getting involved with the issues that you’ve illustrated.
Furthermore I should admit to you that there are far better legal minds
than mine within our community which may be able to assist you. My legal
comfort zone is not within the areas of the law you’re speaking of. As a
matter of fact, you may eventually find that everything I’ve just
written is not accurate, I’m always willing to stand corrected on an
issue when I’m wrong, I’ve stated the above because that’s the way I
understand these things to be.
The Pats looked pretty good last night!!!....
Hope this helps,

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.)

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

and I'll be there. Thanks.

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:
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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!!!)
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.

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. Such a horrible
man and local government.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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

1/31/13 Seaview Terrace Drowning Letters and Pics
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!!
END OF EMAIL SENT 7/6/13

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 .
