Unfortunately, "The Kennedy Mystique" has inadvertently attracted a new breed of unsavory politician. The deliberate misinterpretation of the spirit of the Democratic Party shall now be referred to as "The Camelot Factor". The propensity to misconstrue the intent of special interests for one's personal gain is, of course, The Camelot Syndrome. It has long been customary for the wealthy, powerful, and affluent to maintain vacation homes in coastal communities. Republicans sailing around Walker's Point really don't have much to say about the Democrats sunbathing on the shores of the Cape. Vacationing is truly a bipartisan effort. Vacation homes are just that, vacation homes. Places where the wealthy-weary can count on for rest and relaxation. Hyannis is unique and special in that regard. The historic flavor of the region attracts not only tourists, but a good number of political imposters.

The multitudes of political wannabes and their self-indulgent propensity to distort the spirit of the Democratic Party is the essence of the "Camelot Syndrome". The bold misinterpretation of special interests for the purpose of self-promotion suggests that the Democratic icons either won't mind or won't care embodies the Camelot Factor. I am certainly confounded. One would assume there is an obligation to serve in municipal politics with a spirit of "government by the people, for the people." The privilege of serving, particularly in the historic town of Barnstable is a sentiment that should be upheld and supported. Politicos cannot afford to take liberties with the locale. It is truly not politic to promote one's professional and personal career at the expense of our smallest constituents. There is no latitude for abuse of power in Barnstable. The Camelot Factor, the erroneous notion that one can do as one pleases because nobody wants another scandal in the Kennedy's backyard is a figment in the political imaginations of frauds.

Reality dictates that local politicians shall be held to a higher standard, not the abysmally low one that flouts the essence of democratic ideals. The advancement of children's rights and interests knows no political party. Children are not property. They are entrusted to their parents for love and caring. It is a daunting responsibility for all members of society to guard and protect our progeny.

There's a lot to be grateful for this time of year. First and foremost, I'd like to thank Dr. Syed A. Moosvi, MD of Taunton State Hospital, Dr. Steve Karlin of Program for Assertive Community Treatment, Stacy Brady, RN, Cheryl, Mona, Georgianna, Chris Leblanc and Chris Machado. Also thanks to Jaymie Valdez, Dave, Paul, Amanda and the rest of the PACT Team.

I'm especially grateful for my family, including all of the little people. I had a chance to watch "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" this year. It was on last Saturday and I was glued to the entire show. My favorite scene is this one with Clarisse. There's Always Tomorrow.

This year, I'm looking forward to putting all of the negatives behind me, and moving on to a better life. I've been sitting on a lot of Committees and involved with the Guiding Council at the Recovery Learning Community in Taunton. This was a good move. I'm near family, and away from the negative personalities that were bringing me down on Cape Cod.

I'm excited to renew my nurses license and grateful for the course in nursing refresher at University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. I also enjoy the work I've done with children. Like I said, there's always tomorrow, for dreams to come true.

The Crazy Card? It's Always the Joker!

Apparently, Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills has decided that I have spent time in jail. I'm afraid not, Taryn, and I can think for myself. I have a better education than you do. I'm accustomed to critical thinking. I graduated, yes, Taryn, GRADUATED, from Georgetown University and have a Master's Degree from Boston College. I double majored in psychology and nursing. My Master's is in Child Development.

I have had a pretty illustrious career. I took on corruption in Barnstable County. According to my lawyers, I'm winning! I was told to sue you by Disability Lawyers that are associated with the Attorney General's Office. So, Gary Lopez suggested that I make a Civil Rights Complaint against you. It's hardly having him do the thinking for me. The law suit sounds good. I'll have to run it by the Howell's. That should be worth a good laugh.

So Just How Convoluted Is The Corruption, Anyway?

Review the correspondence forwarded to Barnstable Town Attorney Ruth Weil, Esq. Ms. Weil is the next door neighbor to Sergeant Sean E. Sweeney and his wife, Jane. Jane Sweeney threatened me at Cape Cod Hospital in the Emergency Room. I complained about the incident and forwarded a formal complaint on her nursing license in 2007. I had been arrested for "criminal harassment" of the Sweeney family. Chief Paul MacDonald forwarded documentation claiming that I was "mentally ill" and lying about the incident. The investigation was called off after Chief MacDonald discredited me.

It turned out that a witness with a medical record proved that Jane Sweeney was indeed at the hospital on the night in question. She overheard Ms. Sweeney complaining to another nurse about "the homewrecker". She also heard Ms. Sweeney state that she waited at the Emergency Room entrance for five hours to confront me. This was also my recollection of the night I was terrorized by Jane Sweeney.

Dear Ms. Weil,

Please consider the enclosed correspondence forwarded to a number of public officials and attorneys with interests in public safety in Hyannis and Greater Barnstable. There appears to be a pattern of ongoing impropriety convoluted with the quality of human services and law enforcement in Barnstable County. Unfortunately, the problem now involves Cape Cod Hospital and related personnel. On December 2, 2009, I was arrested by the Barnstable Police Department and charged with Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest and Criminal Harassment. Unfortunately, I was agitated, irritated and extremely perturbed after locating a witness to the assault, attack and threat on my life made by your neighbor, Mrs. John E. Sweeney. Jane Sweeney did, indeed, attack me at Cape Cod Hospital on the evening of December 19, 2004, precisely as I had claimed. The assault occurred in the Emergency Room, outside of my assigned room in the ER, and then again in proximity to the ambulance entrance. Mrs. Sweeney was told to move away from me by my attending nurse, Katie Teravainen RN. Jane Sweeney waited for me by the ambulance entrance. I now have discovered records of this altercation and a witness who indicates she was a patient of Jane Sweeney on the Telemetry Unit. Sweeney is employed by this unit and patient records indicate that she was working on the evening in question.

Another witness has emerged that states that Mrs. Sweeney started a respiratory treatment on her in the late evening of December 19th. Sweeney did not return to remove the empty canister of Albuterol. Jane Sweeney, RN, left her patient in the care of a Nurse’s Aide. The patient/witness claims that the Nurse’s Aide had to remove the Albuterol Respiratory Treatment hours after the canister had run dry and the medication emptied. The patient then overheard Mrs. Sweeney telling one of her fellow nurses and colleagues that she went down to the Emergency Room to tell off the “little home wrecker”. The patient of Mrs. Sweeney has medical records in her possession confirming that Sweeney was employed and giving care to patients on the evening in question. You may be aware that Jane Sweeney, her colleagues in the Emergency Room, Chief Paul MacDonald and Sean Sweeney of the Barnstable Police Department have emphatically denied the incident.

On December 2nd of 2009, I complained once again to the Barnstable Police Department about the attack and threats made by Jane Sweeney, RN. I told them a new witness had come forward. I complained again to Officer Christopher Challies that Jane Sweeney assaulted me. Patrolman Christopher Challies began following me around Hyannis. Challies was screaming from his car that the “Sweeney’s had a “restraining order” against me. He yelled from his car that I was under arrest. Challies pulled his police cruiser over on Main Street and chased after me on foot. He caught hold of my shoulder and threw me onto the pavement on Main Street. Challies produced severe bruising and lacerations covering the entire front of my person. When I struggled to keep my jogging/sweatpants from being caught in the handcuffs, Officer Challies and Detective Mark Delaney cited me for “Resisting Arrest”. Challis then grabbed the waistband of my sweatpants and pulled them down to my knees. I was completely exposed on Main Street while the officers laughed as I lay facedown on Main Street. The incident occurred in the morning hours, in broad daylight, with many witnesses passing by, and in full view of several store owners.

As you know, I complained to former Assistant Town Manager, Paul Niedzwiecki that Interim Police Chief Paul MacDonald was not prepared for the position that he now, permanently, holds. I have been once again charged with Criminal Harassment. The Barnstable Police Department has charged me despite compelling evidence that your neighbor, Jane Sweeney, RN, assaulted, threatened and attacked me, precisely as I claimed. You may also be aware that credible witnesses, including Assistant District Attorney Eileen Connors and Detective Jason Laber have given statements in regard to the behavior of Detective Valerie Hemmila at my home in 2004. Both have given statements describing Hemmila’s attempt to “cut off the hair” and “rape the defendant”. The items are saved on tape. Valerie Hemmila and Head of Detectives, David Cameron interviewed be on September 20th, 2004. The interview ended with Hemmila threatening me. Detective David Cameron was subsequently demoted. Your predecessor, Barnstable Town Attorney Bob Smith spoke to me about this event. The late, Mr. Smith, stated verbatim, “Town of Barnstable owes you a lot of money, young lady”.

My defense attorney, Robert Laliberte, Esq. insisted that I wait until the complaint and charge of Criminal Harassment was disposed of before I complained in any way about the actions of Mrs. Jane Condinho Sweeney. I was unable to complain to authorities until 2007. Meanwhile, Chief John Finnegan was dismissed and Paul MacDonald hired as an Interim Police Chief. After the charges were dropped in 2007, and a new Police Chief had been hired and I filed complaint on the license of Jane Sweeney, RN. Chief Paul MacDonald wrote to the Board of Registration in Nursing. MacDonald circumvented my complaint on the nursing license of Jane Sweeney. In the document forwarded to the Board of Registration in Nursing, Chief MacDonald dismissed my recollection and account of the assault, attack and threats made by Mrs. Sweeney on December 19, 2004. He told the Board of Registration in Nursing that I am “mentally ill” with “no credibility”. I am in possession of the affidavit forwarded to the Board of Registration in Nursing prepared and forwarded by Chief Paul MacDonald on behalf of Mrs. John E. Sweeney. Since the incident and charges against me, two more witnesses have come forward claiming that Jane Condinho Sweeney frequents the Emergency Room. As I stated previously, one witness places her working on her unit at Cape Cod Hospital on the evening in question. This witness has records indicating that Sweeney was, indeed, working that evening. Both Paul MacDonald and Sean Sweeney denied that Mrs. Sweeney was working on the evening of December 19, 2004. The hospital also forwarded records that gave the appearance that Sweeney was not in their employ on that evening. Patient records indicate otherwise.

If you didn’t think that I had meritorious litigation against the Town of Barnstable before, considering what has transpired, maybe you do now. Feel free to discuss the charges with my defense attorney, Penelope Psomos at (508) 362-0166.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Yours truly,

Mary Clements

So Just What Happened at Cape Cod Hospital, Anyway?

2011-12-21T22:12:00.000-08:00

Cape Cod Psychiatric Center was a logical hideaway for me during my tenure in Barnstable from 2001-2008. Violence in the local crack houses made it impossible for me to remain. Government checks supported my neighbor's drug habits around the first of the month. Notation in my records includes the fact that my complaints about living in a crack house were thought to be delusional.

At a later point, I photographed sex offenders and narcotics offenders freebasing in my backyard. I was also told that I imagined Jane E. Sweeney, RN threatening me when I was in the Emergency Room at Cape Cod Hospital. A close friend told me that she indeed overheard Jane Sweeney claiming she had spent five hours in the Emergency Room waiting to tell off a "little home wrecker". Jane Sweeney threatened me after assuming that I was involved with her husband, Sergeant Sean Sweeney of the Barnstable Police Department. Lillian White had a medical record that proved Jane Sweeney was her nurse that evening. She had started a respiratory treatment on Lillian. The treatment ran dry, and a nurse's aide had to remove the dry cannister from Lillian.

I spent four years complaining about Mrs. Sweeney. I was told this was a delusion. My current doctor believes my account of what occurred. Read the account below.

On the evening of December 19, 2004, I was assaulted, attacked, and threatened by Mrs. Jane Condinho Sweeney, RN in the Emergency Room at Cape Cod Hospital. Jane came down to the Emergency Room from her post on the Telemetry Unit and accosted me from the nurse’s station. The attending nurse in charge of my care made her move. Katie Teravainen, RN stated that I was "getting all worked up".

As I was being transported from the Emergency Room to the Whitcomb Pavilion, Jane Condinho Sweeney RN was waiting at the ambulance entrance doors and accosted me while being transported on a stretcher in front of two ambulance drivers. She stated "ciao". As I was being transported, Sweeney told the ambulance drivers, "Wait a minute; I want to talk to her." Sweeney referred to me as a "little home wrecker" and told the ambulance drivers "look at her, she doesn’t look very powerful now. These items are consistent with the recollection of a patient/witness of Jane Sweeney. A patient of Jane Sweeney stated that Mrs. Sweeney started a respiratory treatment on her in the late evening, and did not return to remove the empty canister of Albuterol. The patient then overheard Mrs. Sweeney telling one of her fellow nurses and colleagues that she went down to the Emergency Room to tell off the "little home wrecker". The patient of Mrs. Sweeney has medical records in her possession confirming that Sweeney was employed and giving care to patients on the evening in question. The patient is Lillian White of Winter Street in Hyannis. You may be aware that Sean Sweeney of the Barnstable Police Department has emphatically denied that these accounts of the events of December 19, 2004 are accurate. Jane Sweeney, her colleagues in the Emergency Room, Chief Paul MacDonald and Sean Sweeney emphatically denied the incident.

She antagonized me and I said something back to her. She told the drivers "I’d like to rip her face off!" She made fun of my chipped tooth and mocked my appearance. Katie Teravainen, RN heard the commotion and rushed down to the ambulance entrance. She stated, Jane, move away from her, we’re going to get in trouble. Jane Sweeney’s final words verbatim were "You think you are so smart! Everyone thinks you are so smart! But you’re not as smart as I am. He’s my husband now, and I’d kill him before I’d ever let you have him. Jane Condinho Sweeney then turned to the ambulance drivers and my attending nurse Katie Teravainen and stated "She’s toast!"
In addition to the two ambulance drivers and a witness that was her patient on the evening of December 19, 2004, a distant relation of the Sweeney family, Samantha Snyder Jones has been in therapy with me. She states that Jane Sweeney is often in the Emergency Room and flaunts the diamond engagement ring much in the style she did that evening. She holds up her left and shakes the finger with the diamond. The patient that received absentee care from Jane Sweeney that evening stated the same thing and has noticed Jane Sweeney shaking a very large diamond and pointing to the large size of the diamonds.

Sweeney also knew of an incident where my sister Stephanie and I were nearly run off the road in early 2004. We reported the incident to the Barnstable Police. Sweeney was mocking my driving and appeared to know something about the incident. She also uttered something unintelligible about the arson-homicide of Mikail Majstrorovich in 2003. I reported the incident to nurses on the psychiatric unit. Until the emergence of this new witness, all of my accounts and recollections of Sweeney’s attack was written of as "delusional".

Lastly, a distant relative and friend of the Sweeney family, Samantha Snyder Jones suggests that Mrs. Sweeney is telling friends, relatives and acquaintances that "she and her husband are related to a prominent, affluent, and influential attorney. My grandfather and mentor, Edward George Griffin, Esq. was the General Counsel to the Small Business Administration and former Envoy to the Vatican. My grandfather attended Holy Cross College and Harvard Law School. He paid for my private schooling, Georgetown University, music lessons, and supported me through life in every way. I have been offered a chance to attend law school by several different parties since I researched the negligence of Housing Assistance Corporation and forwarded crucial information to attorneys with interests in public safety in Barnstable.

Dear Ms. Ambroise,

Last week I sent you a Civil Rights Complaint against Taryn Anne Thoman of Marstons Mills. Please consider the following notation placed on www.barnstablebullies.com. Taryn Thoman continues to harass me over the Internet by placing scurrilous comments describing my mental illness and profession.

Taryn Thoman has a long history of attacking people who disagree with her strong-armed tactics. Ms. Thoman threatened me and my family during the Recall Effort of Barnstable Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim. I distanced myself from the effort immediately. Thoman subsequently tampered with my website and my email. Taryn Thoman had the passwords to both because she was instructing me to some extent in setting up my blog roll.

Taryn Thoman has mercilessly harassed me since I withdrew from the effort to recall Janet Swain Joakim from office.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Get real, John. My next door neighbor is a nurse, and she is one of the most dangerous people I’ve met in my life.

Mary Clements was a nurse, and it doesn’t take long to recognize that she has a severe mental illness, and she enjoys harassing and hurting people, despite their youth or innocence.

Boards of nursing in six states, Arizona, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, and North Carolina participated
in a study to investigate the records of 112 nurses on their history of criminal conviction, prior to state board disciplinary action.
Among those 112, 35% had a history of criminal conviction, whereas only 3% of the control group reported one.

I’ve never known anyone like him – or Joakim, my neighbors, scary Mary, or half the other people I’ve met since I dipped my feet in local political waters.
They’re mean, miserable and sadistic. Each one of those individuals is visibly thrilled when they inflict pain on others. Like most bullies, I’ve seen every one of them squeal foul when they are held accountable for their hateful acts.
On the one hand Lopez brags/lies that he has 5,000 page views, and that he’s some sort of badass sitting in his hovel with loaded guns waiting to shoot peaceful protesters. On the other hand he claims to be a sickly 77 year old man who can barely walk without a cane, suffering from AC/DC and LMNOP. Which is it? Badass or wussbag?

After looking over his instant revisionist history, me thinks the latter.

Are the Barnstable Police doing anything about all of this? Can’t they figure out who made the phone call, put the blogs in Dagwan’s door, or followed her around town?
Also, I know she spent a lot of time in the mental hospital, but if Mary Clements really does live in Taunton, why is everybody saying she is behind some of that stuff?

Nursing, The Caring Profession.

2011-12-12T10:06:00.000-08:00

Nursing is a healthcare profession focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life from conception to death.

Nurses work in a large variety of specialties where they work independently and as part of a team to assess, plan, implement and evaluate care. Nursing Science is a field of knowledge based on the contributions of nursing scientists through peer-reviewed scholarly journals and evidenced-based practice.

I recently finished a nursing refresher course and am eligible to reinstate my license. I'm proud to be in same profession as Christine Howell. I have a group of nurses that write to me via email that are sweet and wonderful to be around. There was no backstabbing, malicious speech, or crazy efforts at municipal politics. These nurses were "happening". The field is now paying so well that I am probably going to return full time.

I have a nurses license in another state, and it is with great ease that I can return to the profession. I am not Taryn Thoman's nurse, nor am I her child's nurse. Taking Aidan's part cost me personally and professionally. My contacts here say she isn't worth worrying about. I was also told by my lawyer that it's best to forget about the actions of Jane Sweeney, RN. I have correspondence in regard to her nursing practice that demonstrates she functions at a low level.

When your a nurse, you occassionally have a lemon for a patient. It happens. Best course of action is to delegate his or her care to a new graduate. I save my exemplary skills for people who deserve the level of care I can provide.

And Now, A Civil Rights Complaint Against Taryn Thoman!

2011-12-09T14:48:00.000-08:00

Note the complaint letter filed with the Official Civil Rights Complaint filed against Taryn Thoman. I have included her many references to me as "Barnstable's most notorious mental patient" and copies of her website suggesting that I left materials at the home of Debra Dagwan.

Dear Ms. Ambroise,

Please consider the following complaint and accompanying documents. I have been referred to in a derogatory manner as “mentally ill” continuously on a blog roll named www.barnstablebullies.com published by Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills. Ms. Thoman has suggested that I am involved in illegality regarding a sitting Town Councilor of the Town of Barnstable.

Ms. Thoman has repeatedly made fun of my mental illness. She has placed video clips on YouTube and made unflattering comments about my illness.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sticks and Stones May Brake My Bones, But Names Will Never Hurt Me.

2011-12-07T10:25:00.001-08:00

Taryn Thoman has forgotten all about the time she mailed scurrilous mail about her neighbor, Ron Howell to the place of his employment. Taryn feels she should run a monopoly on who sends letters to whom. Well, Taryn, DO YOU PAY YOUR TAXES? We know you haven't in the past! You have tax liens taken out on your home for failing to pay your sales taxes. I've been encouraged to report you to MassHealth for collecting the benefit while your husband works "under the table".

It appears that you have faked a phone number on the telephone of Debra Dagwan, and followed up by leaving materials at her home. You are blaming Gary Lopez, or someone who simply reads his blog, lives 45 miles away, without a car. Do you realize how feeble you sound? No wonder Judge O'Neill insisted on a Competency Hearing for you. Taryn Thoman made the sad mistake of threatening me during the Recall, of then President, Janet Joakim. Listed below is a list of Taryn Thoman's latest threats.

Apparently, Thoman has forgotten that she publicly threatened the clerk magistrate at Barnstable District Court. She is obsessed with me, and constantly comments to herself on her blogsite to try to intimidate me. She isn't running for anything and winning ever. I have a battalion of supporters here in Taunton that take issue with her suggesting that I belong in a mental asylum. Taryn is crazy. Her history demonstrates a powerless woman who tries to threaten and intimidate others to feel like a "somebody" in Barnstable. The story seems to be that Taryn Thoman is soon to foreclose on her overpriced home in Marstons Mills. It won't be long before the other mothers at Saint Francis Xavier put her in her place. Saint Francis Xavier has a history and legacy of being sympathetic to animals.

Anon | December 5, 2011 at 22:22 | Reply I’m familiar with John Julius and Patrick Page, but who is this Mary Clements person? Why would someone from Taunton be involved in this stuff?

ynr | December 5, 2011 at 22:42 | Reply She’s a mental patient obsessed with all things “Taryn”.

She and Lopez are thick as crazy thieves.

Taryn Thoman | December 6, 2011 at 15:21 | Reply I will say here and now that I am frightened by both of those individuals, and if you had any sense, you’d be too.

Before the end of the year I’m going to put up a page detailing some history on my stalker from Taunton, who is indeed obsessed with me.

I wouldn’t run for any elected position anywhere unless she was back for another long stint in the mental asylum. She was arrested and remanded to Taunton State Mental Institution around this time last year. She sent me hate mail every week, which I shared with the DA’s office. She’s only been out since June, but it appears that she needs additional services. I’m pretty certain that she’s behind the Lopez “deliveries” to Dagwan.

My concern about these individuals is growing. I’ll be speaking to my attorney, who has repeatedly succeeded in representing clients on both sides of a 258e. We were his first 258e case – he prevailed big time against our bullies next door, and I expect a repeat performance against angry gomez and scary mary, if they don’t knock it off.

So where was scary Mary last year? Does she have an apartment and a job? I think so! Taryn Thoman is blowing smoke.....again!

I've talked to the Attorney General's Office about filing a Civil Rights Complaint against Taryn Thoman.

Taryn Thoman, Big Bully of Marstons Mills Threatening, Again!

2011-12-05T10:42:00.000-08:00

Apparently Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills has taken to threatening again. Taryn and her "lawyers" that she can not afford claim to be "handling" me. Taryn has no lawyer. She could barely afford Drew Segadelli, Esq. Segadelli defended her on her charge of Criminal Harassment in 2008. On her retarded website, www.barnstablebullies.com she has accused me of leaving materials at the home of Debra Dagwan, spending half of the year in a mental asylum, the war in Afghanistan and the current economic and fiscal crisis. She threatens to take a Criminal Harassment complaint out against me, thinking that this will deter me from utilizing my own First Amendment Rights. If there is a Civil Rights complaint or Civil Harassment charge it will be on Thoman. Taryn Thoman was Gary Lopez biggest supporter. Her continual harassment of her neighbors brought her not only a reputation as crazy, but a Criminal Harassment charge herself.

I am neither intimidated nor frightened of Thoman and her antics. Taryn thinks she can bully whomever she pleases. She has a long history of Criminal Harassment over the Internet, setting up twelve websites to attack Christine Howell, Janet Joakim and the Joakim daughters. She placed scurrilous comments about me and my family during the Recall of President Janet Joakim. She was charged with Criminal Harassment and the Recall Effort failed.

I know very little about Debra Dagwan. I know she is cited on the blog of Gary Lopez as failing to pay attention to carcinogens in the groundswell of the Barnstable Water Supply. Thoman once thought of Lopez as her hero. I know there was some complaint about Gary Lopez in regard to controversial postings with Dagwan. Other than this knowlege, I am hardly involved with Dawan v. Lopez and their court proceeding. I knew more about The Commonwealth/Howell v. Thoman court proceeding.

Taryn Thoman is talking to herself over the Internet. Her comments are generated from the wind that blows through her vacuous mind. Thoman never graduated from college, and only went one year to Ohio State University. She conceded that she dealt drugs to her peers and classmates. Thoman had a history of being a cheat from here days as the proprietor of Taryn's Mirror, Inc. Taryn Thoman sold cheap and gaudy fake gems from her shop on Main Street. She failed to pay her sales taxes. Liens were taken out on her home. The Barnstable Police Department confirms she made three complaints of robbery. She was found with the items in her purse in her car. She laughed it off. She had made a number of insurance claims in the past. She collects MassHealth despite her claim that her husband is a financially successful mason. Her husband, Dennis Wilcox has a reputation for working "under the table". Taryn Thoman is a fraud and a cheat. Debra Dagwan hardly needs the support of a woman like this.

Thoman was evaluated in the Barnstable District Court for competence to stand trial. The judge insisted, claiming that it was necessary to explore Thoman's state of mind. In regard to myself, I was accosted and threatened by a cop's wife at Cape Cod Hospital. This was central to the charge against me for Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest. Many think that Michael O'Keefe is simply trying to cover his tracks after it was discovered that he was accepting campaign contributions from Housing Assistance Corporation. The organization harbored people such as Christopher McCowen. McCowen was convicted in the rape and murder of Christa Worthington.

Taryn Thoman hardly has the courage I do when it comes to taking on the system. She's full of hot air and a pomposity like no other. I'm posting Thoman's tendency to talk to herself below. Note the quality of her ridiculous accusations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only person on the planet who has openly supported Lopez’s racist attack is a woman from Taunton, who spent half of the past year in that city’s mental institution.

ynr | December 1, 2011 at 14:02 | Reply Lopez has been encouraging Mary Clements lately. Is it something she would do?

Liz | December 1, 2011 at 14:10 | Reply Of course. She’s probably the prime suspect!

Taryn Thoman | December 2, 2011 at 09:43 | Reply Thanks for commenting in spite of the haters, folks.
I’m pretty busy these days, and don’t have a whole lot of time to babysit this blog.

At the height of my troubles with the neighbors, thanks to satanic town councilor Janet Joakim (whom I never sat next to, anywhere, ever), Mary Clements, who uses the express lane at Taunton State Mental Hospital, came off the blogs and out to my home.

She showed up in a van that looked like mine, took some bauble off my property and placed it in the neighbor’s yard. They instantly came out and “discovered” the alleged “crime” and called the cops. It was the most pathetic set up one could imagine.

The neighbors insisted that the cops arrest me for trespassing.
I couldn’t help but wonder how long these genius people took to come up with such a lame scheme.

To answer the question, Yes, absolutely it’s something she would do, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Lopez put her up to it. He’s been having lots of contact with her, according to his blog. It does seem like something she would do, with or without his knowledge.

Tommy | December 3, 2011 at 14:35 | Reply You ought to file a 258e or criminal harassment on Mary Clements yourself.
Have you seen the letters she wrote to the IRS and others about you? I’d be concerned if I had someone with her history harassing me like that.

Taryn Thoman | December 3, 2011 at 16:52 | Reply Thanks, but I’m following the advice of my attorney on her – for now.

It’s more important to see that Gary Lopez ends up in court for the rest of his miserable life.

Like I said before, Dagwan seems to have taken a long view on this matter.

Taryn Thoman, "You're No Good!"

2011-12-03T10:50:00.000-08:00

Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills is once again looking for somebody to take responsibility for her actions. Thoman is accusing Gary Lopez for encouraging me to do his dirty work. There have been materials left at the home of Debra Dagwan. Most likely they were left there by Thoman

Taryn Thoman is going to have a hard time accusing me of leaving materials at the home of Dagwan. I live 45 miles away, and I walk everwhere. For ten years, I concentrated on the poor quality of the human service industry, in particular, the NOAH Shelter. The establishment was full of sex offenders and drug addicts. It took not only time and effort to fight this establishment, but a personal and financial sacrifice. I lived in Barnstable for ten years, worked two jobs, and put all my money into derailing the Dana's Fields Project and The Mildred's Chowder House conversion to a shelter for the homeless. I lost three cars while focusing strictly on public safety in downtown Hyannis and neighboring Sandwich. I plan on buying myself a new car soon.

The Barnstable Police were less than helpful when it came to "outing" Housing Assistance Corporation. Councilor Janet Joakim was a strong proponent of the shelter, associated human service agencies, and health care to the homeless. All were substandard. I had personal reasons for wanting then President Janet Joakim recalled. Taryn Thoman ruined the effort with her craziness and her selfishness.

I had an opportunity to sue the Town of Barnstable for removing me from the podium twice in March of 2007. It would have cost me thousands of dollars to recoup $12,000 in damages. Christopher Coughlin, the attorney who nearly took my case told me he was aware of Taryn Thoman. He saw some of the videos she produced and asked me what my relationship was with her. I pretty much told him I was Taryn's Whipping Girl. He said he could have nothing to do with Thoman, as he knew of her craziness at the Barnstable District Court. Thoman kept alleging her neighbors were responsible for molesting her child. There was never any proof of the outrageous allegations.

Taryn was charged with criminal harassment at a crucial time during the recall. Taryn was also forced to undergo psychiatric observation and evaluation. The judge thought there was a chance she wasn't playing with a full deck. She must have passed the test, because she had to hire my attorney, J. Drew Segadelli, Esq. Segadelli told Detective Mark Delaney of the Barnstable Police Department that Thoman was indeed crazy and that he didn't want anything more to do with her.

She beat the charge by the hair on her "chinny chin chin." Sociopaths like her always do.

President Obama Pardons Turkey, So Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills Gets a Reprieve!

2011-11-28T11:30:00.000-08:00

Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills latest crusade includes supporting Town Councilor Debra Dagwan despite Dagwan's ignorance of water contamination. There are established high levels of carcinogens in the water of her precinct. Dagwan is either not concerned, or not aware of the level of pollutants and carcinogens in the water supply of her constituents. For information about the quality of the water supply in the Barnstable area, consult the website of Gary Lopez, www.capecog.com.

Taryn Thoman has a long and established track record of turning on people who have helped her with her initiatives. See the video clip of "Kid of Convenience". This effort was on behalf of Taryn Thoman and her son Aidan Thoman Wilcox at the Barnstable Town Council Meeting of March 6th 2007. Thoman threatened me on the way to Hyannis after collecting signatures for the Recall Drive against then Barnstable Town Council President Janet Joakim. Thoman has turned on her neighbors, Christine and Ron Howell, Gary Lopez, Eric Schwaab, and John Julius. All encouraged Thoman to run for Charter Commission in 2006.

Taryn Thoman has a history of insurance fraud, failing to pay her sales tax, and liens on her $300,000 "dream home". Taryn's latest effort is to attach me to the controversy between Gary Lopez and Councilor Debra Dagwan. Dagwan hardly needs Thoman's support. Thoman has a long history of ridiculous accusations and stirring up trouble for innocent children. She is the biggest bully in Barnstable. Thoman has threatened nearly everyone who has ever helped her acheive anything.

My efforts resulted in my being asked to leave the venue. I was escorted out by police. Thoman was less than grateful for my efforts.

Here are copies of Taryn Thoman's tax liens for failing to pay her sales taxes at Taryn's Mirror. Thoman claims to be a successful business owner. She never took responsibility to pay the taxes she owed to the state government!

Frankly, My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn!

2011-11-17T11:17:00.000-08:00

It's amusing that Taryn Thoman thinks that there is an unhealthy level of interest in her and her family. Taryn has attacked individuals and families in the Marstons Mills and Hyannis areas for quite some time. She has accused many of incest and child molestation with no foundation. Taryn can't figure out why she is so unpopular. She has made a social freak out of her little boy, and even the accused feel sorry for the child. He has scored poorly on his M-CAS and has limited athletic ability at baseball.

What Taryn doesn't realize is that no one really cares about her trials, tribulations or opinions. Taryn has alienated everyone who has tried to help her. During the recall effort of Janet Joakim, I listened ad nauseam at her ad hominem attacks on her neighbors and their relationship with President Janet Joakim. Taryn attacked the Joakim daughters over the Internet. She expected me to take responsibility for her actions. She developed obscene graphics of the then Barnstable Town Council President. She tried unsuccessfully to blame me. She set up harassing blogrolls of her neighbors and the Joakims. She credited me over the Internet for three of them.

Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills has a long history of insurance fraud and failing to pay her sales taxes. There was a lien taken out on her home. Taryn has incredible difficulty taking responsibility for her actions. Her latest crusade is Deborah Dagwan against Gary Lopez. She appears to have left Lopez name on Dagwan's answering machine. In the past, Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills has embraced Gary Lopez outrageous and controversial blog postings. She has referred to Janet Joakim with vulgar names. She now considers herself Emily Post proper.

What a joke! When it comes to Taryn and her crazy opinions, Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn!

Hey Taryn, Hey Stupid!

2011-11-15T10:22:00.000-08:00

Taryn, If You Only Had a Brain!

Big deal, you get a few extra blog readers to see how well you lie! Gary Lopez is on to the shit deal of leaving his name and number on Debra Dagwan's telephone. He says he has nothing to do with it. He also has an alibi as to where he was when the "so called following in a car" harassment occurred!

As for me, I'm finished with my nursing refresher class as of today. I never filed any civil suits in Barnstable Superior Court, or District Court for that matter, so you must be talking about someone else.

Paul Revere told Gary Lopez that you were behind the whole Dagwan thing. Funny, you followed him lock step lemming in 2008 and loved his outrageous, but contentious and controversial speech. You suddenly turn into Mrs. Proper when it's turned on one of your heroines. Dagwan needs your support like she needs a hole in the head.

Teeny, tiny, Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills

But Taryn, Have You Outed Yourself, Lately?

2011-09-27T14:36:00.001-07:00

Taryn Thoman threatened me on the day following her speech to the Barnstable Town Council. It was the evening she suggested that she had 50 signatures on the affidavit. She didn't. I was doing the brunt of the work as she continually harassed her neighbors. She claimed two different families in her neighborhood were "guilty" of incest and child molestation. She claimed she would accuse me of the same, and then sue my family for their assets. Thoman was drunk and using drugs after her speech. She threatened me when giving me a ride back to Hyannis. I dropped the Recall Effort against Joakim immediately.

She claims Janet Joakim got the neighbors stirred up. The truth is, they hate Taryn for her threats and actions.

Taryn continually harassed me over the Internet and placed videos and comments that were disgraceful and disgusting in nature. She took on someone bigger than herself. Them's the breaks, stupid.

Taunton is a wonderful town and I hardly live in a hovel. I went to bat for this crazy bitch and her child. She was nothing but an ingrate. She is the consummate charlaton and hypocrite. She collects MassHealth while claiming she and her husband are professionally successful. It's time someone told Thoman where to go.

Taryn Thoman, Eating Her Pablum, Again...

2011-09-09T13:41:00.000-07:00

Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills, is once again in search of someone to take responsibility for her behavior. Taryn has blamed me for the harassment of Marissa and Rachael Joakim, posting on www.juicycampus.com, making harassing videos and blogrolls of her neighbors and former Town Council President Janet Joakim, and developing disgusting images of Joakim on Memorial Day of 2007. Thoman expected me to take the fall for her stupidity. This was noticed by students at Cape Cod Community College. I was warned that she was "setting me up" and this is about "politics" but the "woman looks crazy".

Thoman collapsed my blog www.barnstablesafetynetwork.com during the recall effort. This lead to the opposition noting that there was dissent among the ranks. What Taryn didn't know is that threatening me in the car on the way back to Barnstable was really stupid.

Taryn Thoman claimed she was a guest at a 4th of July Picnic at Tony Pelletier's house on July 4th of 2007. She claimed she was there all day. In reality, her neighbor saw her at home with her sister, Therese Marinelli of Ohio. They were developing the gruesome graphics of the former Town Council President, Janet Joakim. The graphics were sent to the Chief of Police and to Joakim to cite the vitriol of the local blogosphere. Pelletier of the Hyannis Civic Association states that Thoman was never a guest at his home. Taryn Thoman wanted me to take responsibility for her crude behavior.

Taryn ended up losing the Recall Effort against former Town Council President, Janet Swain Joakim, because she was a druggie that could not cooperate, nor take direction from Gary Lopez. Debra Dagwan, PhD needs Thoman's support like she needs a hole in the head. Taryn, a little slow, has been a thorn in the side of most folks who have helped her achieve anything.

So Now, Taryn Thoman, Village Idiot of Marstons Mills is Threatening Me with Jail Time!

2011-09-08T13:02:00.000-07:00

Leave it to collossal cyberbully and world-class hypocrite, Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills to threaten me with jail time over my First Amendment Rights! Why, Taryn, I never sent you a copy of my letter to the IRS, so you can't say I'm always harassing you. Like Jane Sweeney, you think harassing only goes one way. Well, the BPD is in enough trouble without me posting the antics of the Sweeney family.

So you said Lieutenant Paul MacDonald is a stand-up guy. Have you figured out otherwise yet, or are you still smarting over getting under 20% of the vote for "Sewergate". Oh, by the way, Councilor J. Gregory Milne asked me personal advice over that one. The difference between giving political advice to him, and advice to someone as stupid as you is that he listened. ...and prevailed.

So Taryn, now you know I read your stupid little blog. Gary Lopez finally saw through you and socked it to you. It was about time. I love watching you struggle to make yourself look legit on your little blog. I live in a mansion, stupid. Have you foreclosed on your dream home yet?

Sorry sweetie, but I never did a second of jail time. You on the other hand, Christopher Coughlin, Esq., who almost took my First Amendment Case against the Town of Barnstable, knew you, and said he couldn't be involved in anything to do with you. I would have made $12,000 for all of my efforts. I can see you were really grateful for all of the efforts I put forth for you. It was all part of an effort to oust Joakim. If you hadn't threatened me, Joakim would be gone.

As far as Taunton goes, I'm sitting on a lot of boards, Advisory, Human Rights, Patient Empowerment. I'm having a grand time. I'm also enrolled in a Refresher Course to renew my nursing license. Contrary to your babbling, I never lost my license, I let it expire on purpose, stupid!

She probably found some loop hole where the poor and indigent or the children of drug addicted/alcoholic parents get to go to school for free. I hear that her son is a bit of a loaner/looser at school and is not well liked by the other children. I am sure that his situation will only get worse as he moves up in the grades. He is probably the type that would show up to school with a gun and start shooting. He may be going to some sort of school for children with special needs. He is not to be that smart and did not score well on his m-cast testing (heard that from a very reliable source).

2011-08-24T12:08:00.000-07:00

Taryn Thoman is on one her rampages again. She's attacking Gary Lopez and calling him a "racist" for criticizing Councilor Debra Dagwan. She's accusing everthing and everybody in an effort to once again get "just anybody" to take responsibility for her actions. Joakim and Lopez are on the same page about Thoman. Maybe the moon really is in the seventh house, and Jupiter really does align with Mars?

Inside joke to Lopez and Julius. Maybe Ed Maroney too!

Mr. Gary Lopez
37 Gleneagle Drive
Centerville, MA 02632

Dear Mr. Lopez,

I understand there is continued conflict between yourself and Taryn Thoman. Thoman has apparently purchased your daughter’s name over the Internet and is claiming she did this to “protect you”.

Taryn purchases names over the Internet so that the person in question cannot set up sites using their own name. For instance, she purchased Marissa and Rachael Joakim’s names when she was personally attacking the Joakim daughters. She placed scathing remarks on “juicycampus.com” early in the recall effort. At that point I was trying to lay groundwork for the effort. You will recall your “You Tube” Femmenazi rules Barnstable. Thoman insisted that I mention “juicycampus.com” on the occasion that I spoke before the Barnstable Town Council. It was almost as if she were deflecting personal responsibility. On the day prior, Thoman had placed the scurrilous remarks. She posted a link to it on your website/blogroll www.capecog.com.

Once there was groundwork put in place for the Joakim recall, I relied on your judgment to cite significant political reasons for the recall. Thoman was warned that her twelve websites attacking her neighbors and Joakim personally were “meeting the threshold for a charge of “criminal harassment”. I told her that “Mr. Lopez and others are depending on you”. Thoman placed on www.barnstablebeat.blogspot that three of her harassing websites were mine. She signed my name to the comment. Once again, Thoman deflects responsibility. Thoman insisted on putting footage of a fight with her neighbors Christine and Ron Howell with entertainment aspects on your blogroll. She was warned not to do this. I suggested to her that a “criminal harassment” charge would jeopardize the recall. She replied “I hope you will have respect for my wishes. I have to do what is best for my family”. The groundwork against Joakim using any and all means necessary leading to your effort to politically recall Joakim never included me attacking Joakim’s daughters.

As far as I’m concerned, I collected enough information on the Barnstable Police Department, District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and the human services to help my cause. I received return correspondence from both Senator Scott Brown and U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz. I am in a safe place now, but doesn’t Thoman just make your blood boil? Joakim turned out to be the lesser of the evils. Hard to believe? The charges against me have been dropped.

Congratulations on the accomplishments of your daughter. I knew a graduate from the same program. I was her son’s nurse. She was a controller for a bank and soared professionally. Wishing you and yours the same.

Truly,

Mary Clements

The Best Revenge Is Living Well!

2011-05-24T11:56:00.000-07:00

Here I am, the picture of health. All smiles, sometimes a knowing smile. But I'm happy, and that's all that matters!

Gentle Readers,

Rumors of my demise have also been greatly exaggerated. Note the lovely mansion style building in which I currently reside. I've been living in style for nearly one year and I haven't been this happy in a very long time.

I work as a Reading Tutor. I keep myself busy swimming and exercising at the local YMCA/gym. I'm taking refresher courses in nursing and look forward to returning to my profession. I pay all of my bills. I pay my taxes too! As you can see, I'm hardly locked away. If anything, I'm living in style! Too bad my sacrifices weren't appreciated back in Barnstable. It took a gutsy move to immerse myself in drug infested, poverty stricken populations and substandard housing.

There were inroads made with the homeless condition and the standard for services was greatly improved. The single biggest factor is for public safety. This includes safety for innocent children, vulnerable seniors and the homeless alike. I've done my share, and sacrificed enough. The rest of the improvement is yet to be seen. Good Luck to Barnstable!

Here is a slideshow of my town, home and apartment. As you can see, I'm living well!

...But Does Taryn Thoman Pay Her Taxes?

2011-05-06T15:13:00.000-07:00

Taryn Thoman, notorious bully and hypocrite of 22 Mountain Ash Road, Marstons Mills has a long and illlustrious history of failing to take financial and personal responsibility for herself and her family. Taryn Thoman was investigated for insurance fraud after declaring theft three times from her now defunct novelty shop, Taryn's Mirror. All three times, local law enforcement suggested an "inside job". On the third occasion, the police launched an out and out search. The supposedly "stolen" merchandise was located in her purse. The purse was locked in her car. Thoman laughed off the incident.

Taryn Thoman also had her estate attached for failing to pay her sales tax for items sold over a three year span. Thoman boasts that her husband earned $80,000 in 2008. Her family qualifies for MassHealth and it is a well known fact that her husband, Dennis Wilcox of Impeccable Masonry works "under the table". Refer to correspondence forwarded to the IRS in regard to Taryn Thoman and her husband, Dennis Wilcox.

To Whom It May Concern:

Enclosed are website references for Taryn Thoman and her husband Dennis Wilcox of 22 Mountain Ash Road. Dennis Wilcox is operating a masonry business and it is not a very well kept secret that he is “working under the table”. His wife, Taryn Thoman claimed that Wilcox earned $80,000 in 2009, but the family qualified for public assistance. Thoman has shown me medical documents that verify her family is covered by MassHealth/Medicaid.

In addition, Ms. Thoman sells items from her former store Taryn’s Mirror from her house and has a long history of not paying her sales tax. She also was investigated for insurance fraud, but no charges were ever filed.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Yours truly,

Dear Special Agent Lewis,

Please consider the enclosed correspondence to US Attorney Loucks. You once suggested that I “do the greatest good for the greatest number” in regard to materials that I collected in reference to Christopher McCowen. As you are aware, McCowen was a patron of one of the crack houses where I resided in Hyannis. You are also aware that I lived in three narcotics infested buildings in Barnstable while I researched negligent services of Housing Assistance Corporation. The homeless population has been decimated by substandard services and public safety of the surrounding community has been compromised. Unfortunately, public safety has also been jeopardized by mismanagement of the Barnstable Police Department under the tenure of both former Chief John Finnegan and current Chief Paul MacDonald. I have been told that I am a material witness to illegality and impropriety in Barnstable.

I have asked for your assistance in this matter. You may recall that I confided items regarding Mrs. XXXX XXXXXXX, Detective Valerie Hemmila, Patrolman Sean Roycroft and Detective Mark Delaney to you in the past. The narcotics trafficking and associated violence in Hyannis is exacerbated by law enforcement ignoring materials that confirm corruption.

Would you speak to my attorney, Penelope Psomos at (508)362-0166?

Yours truly,

Mary Clements

Robert George, Esq.
111 Huntington Ave
Boston, MA 021199-7601

Dear Attorney George,

Please consider the enclosed correspondence regarding the convolution of human services with law enforcement in Barnstable and its effect on your client, Christopher McCowen. A number of attorneys suggested that I was a material witness to impropriety in Barnstable. I continued to live in Hyannis on a Section 8 Certificate and worked two entry level jobs while these items were investigated. My Section 8 Certificate was rescinded after I moved from a narcotics infested and violence laden apartment in May of 2009. Judge H. Gregory Williams evicted me despite overwhelming evidence that my rent was fully paid. The Barnstable Housing Authority subsequently removed my Section 8 Certificate. The BHA claimed that I did not follow proper procedure after fleeing from documented violence in a public housing project.

On December 2, 2009 I was arrested by the Barnstable Police Department for the second time. I was charged with Disorderly Conduct and Criminal Harassment after a contentious conversation with a Barnstable Police Officer. I had located a witness that corroborated that I was attacked and threatened by the wife of a Barnstable Police Officer in 2004. I have a detailed recollection of the incident, corroborating medical records, and have located a credible witness to confirm the allegation. The issue involves the wife of Sergeant XXXX XXXXXXX, XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXX of the Barnstable Police.

Peter Manso forwarded a number of items regarding your client. The materials were generated by my research of Housing Assistance Corporation, negligent services of the human service industry, and its convolution with law enforcement. Both Christopher H. “Toppy” Worthington and Paul Neidzwiecki, Esq. consider me a “material witness” to ongoing corruption in Barnstable County. It appears that law enforcement and jurisprudence is tampering with a witness and conspiring to obstruct justice in this matter. I am being held for forensic evaluation at Taunton State Hospital. Judge William O’Neill refuses to consider my account of corruption as credible. Could you speak with my attorney, Penelope Psomos, Esq. at (508)362-0166 regarding this matter?

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

A Former Wareham Police Officer and Smart Lawyer Takes It! We're All Friends of Brown!

2010-09-15T12:04:00.000-07:00

My candidate for the tenth congressional seat is an ally of Senator Scott Brown. I was with the Brown Campaign three months before Senator Scott Brown announced his run against Attorney General Martha Coakley. Here is Brown's take on Perry Read correspondence posted below addressed to the Attorney General.

Scott Brown endorses Jeff Perry for Congress
March 24, 2010By Conor It’s kind of like old school versus new school.

Just one day after former Governor Bill Weld endorsed former Treasurer Joe Malone for Congress, current U.S. Senator Scott Brown endorsed current State Representative Jeff Perry, one of Malone’s opponents. In what is being dubbed by the Perry campaign as Brown’s “first major Massachusetts endorsement since he was elected to the United States Senate,” Brown recorded a video urging voters in the 10th Massachusetts Congressional to vote for his former State House colleague.

“I hope everyone who supported me and voted for me in the Senate race will support Jeff Perry and vote for Jeff Perry in this crucial Congressional race,” Senator Brown said. “Having served with Jeff in the Legislature, I know that like me he believes in low taxes, a strong national defense and in the pro-growth policies that will create jobs and get our economy moving again.” “By electing Jeff Perry, the voters of the 10th Congressional District will once again be sending a strong message to the politicians in Washington that the time has come to start listening to the people once again,” Senator Brown said. “If you believe that Washington is broken, Jeff is just the guy we need to help fix it.”

The Perry campaign also launched a website, EndorsePerry.com, where others can “join Senator Brown in supporting Jeff Perry for Congress.”

Jeff Perry and Scott Brown
“Scott Brown stands for something very special and very rare in politics today, bringing government back to the people. And today I am very proud to have him standing for me,” Jeff Perry said.Perry added, “Scott Brown won the hearts, minds and the votes of good people all over the 10th District when he pledged to listen to them on the crucial challenges facing our nation. Scott knows that they want the federal government to stop spending money they don’t have, to rebuild the economy and create jobs and to protect our nation in these very dangerous times. And so do I.”

The Perry campaign press release noted that Senator Brown won 60% of the vote in the 10th District during the Special Senate Election on January 19th.

Dear Ms. Coakley,

Enclosed are copies of correspondence and records of difficulty created by the actions of The Barnstable Housing Authority. Emergency Room records indicate a number of marked personal difficulties created by public housing office and other negligent services. Please review the magnitude and gravity of the Emergency Room records provided. As you are aware, I have complained in the past that the quality of negligent human services have compromised the health, welfare and safety of vulnerable men women and innocent children.

I am enclosing, once again, a link to my website that posts a number of documents, court records, and photographs confirming the breach to public safety in Hyannis and Greater Barnstable. I was evicted from my apartment despite the ongoing violence and narcotics trafficking and the fact that my rent was fully paid. The Barnstable Housing Authority then claimed I should have officially notified them, and not the New Bedford Housing Authority that originally granted me this Section 8 Voucher. The BHA subsequently removed my subsidy. I am currently being held for forensic evaluation at Taunton State Hospital. Mr. Christopher H. Worthington has suggested that District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and Chief Paul MacDonald are attempting to cover up corruption. He stated that they may be tampering with a material witness and obstructing justice.

Prior to this, I was working for the Campaign to Elect Scott Brown to the US Senate. There were a number of attorneys volunteering on the campaign that demonstrated interest in the materials now available for public review. As you know, I have forwarded materials to you in the past, with no acknowledgement. Any new ideas?

Sincerely,

The Assault on First Amendment Rights...

2010-09-02T11:37:00.001-07:00

Consider the following video clip of a narrative that I delivered during public comment on March 6, 2008. As the police remove me from the podium, I become very unpopular with local law enforcement. I contributed remarkable to the information circles that improve safety for innocent children and vulnerable and unsuspecting adults. Shortly after this exchange I was threatened with arrest for Criminal Harassment against then Barnstable Town Council President Janet Joakim. It wasn't until I confronted Police Officer Christopher Challies that I was arrested and charged. Please consider the correspondence below the video.

Exercise of your First Amendment rights can make you very unpopular and clearly has consequence. A word the the not so wise, you don't bite off the hand that feeds you!

Dear Trooper Mason,

Please consider the enclosed correspondence and materials. Corroborating documents are available for public review on www.welcometobarnstable.com. Apparently, there is difficulty with the integrity of the People v. McCowen. The brief for the appeal has been filed and there is a challenge to the DNA. Judge Joan Lynch compelled McCowen to provide a buccal swab for DNA analysis three months after the arrest and coerced confession of this defendant.

I complained to Detective Knott of the Yarmouth State Trooper Barrack and Special Agent David Lewis of the Drug Enforcement Agency in 2005 about the attack and threats made upon me by the wife of a Barnstable Police Officer when I was a patient at Cape Cod Hospital. I often sought refuge from the narcotics infested and violence plagued environment where I resided clustered in a public housing project. I worked two profiles of the offender for this case for Paul Niedzwiecki, former CFO of the District Attorney’s Office. Christopher McCowen was known to a number of properties adjacent to the shelter complex. Michael O’Keefe was still engaged in the DNA Dragnet/ “Needle in a Haystack” approach to investigate this offender. I saw McCowen on many occasions both before and after the rape and murder of Worthington in the vicinity of the shelter.

I can’t say I was raped or violated in the way Worthington, Wessner, or Gosule were. I do know what it’s like to live in fear as a civilian with my life on the line in downtown Hyannis. Unfortunately, I do know what it’s like to be brutalized by the police department and violated for having a conscience. If the Barnstable Police Department hadn’t been so aggressive, I never would have discovered or uncovered the compromising and controversial documents regarding Christopher McCowen.

Maybe in the future, you will insist that COPS wives are a slightly more polite to informants.

Yours truly,

Mary Clements

Please consider the following correspondence forwarded to the office of the US Attorney.

The quality of corruption, nepotism and patronage has not only resulted in substandard human services, but directly impacts the real estate market and commerce here on idyllic Cape Cod.

US Attorney Michael Loucks
1 Courthouse Way
South Boston, MA 02210

Dear Attorney Loucks,

Correspondence and materials forwarded in the past indicate a substantial breach to public safety in Barnstable. A number of attorneys have suggested that I am material witness to ongoing impropriety and corruption in Barnstable County. I understand the brief for the appeal in the People v. McCowen has been filed. Documents that I discovered in the Barnstable District Court files indicate that a legal challenge to the recovery of DNA may be possible. If so, the conviction of the perpetrator in this case is in jeopardy. Court records clearly indicate that Judge Joan Lynch of the Barnstable District Court compelled the defendant, Christopher McCowen to provide a buccal swab for DNA analysis on August 5, 2005. The DNA that tied McCowen to the murder of Miss Christa Worthington was not procured until three months after the arrest of this defendant and the confession was coerced under false pretenses.

Christopher McCowen was known to crack houses in proximity to the NOAH Shelter Complex operated by Housing Assistance Corporation. McCowen was arrested three times by the Barnstable Police Department in Hyannis, subsequent to the murder of Worthington. In addition, Judge Robert Welsh, Jr. surrendered the probation of McCowen based on is failure to make his appearances for counseling at Cape Cod Health and Human Services. A number of perpetrators in high profile homicides were known to this organization and were housed by Housing Assistance Corporation. Many were diverted into treatment for non-violent offenders by the Barnstable District Court.

Chief Paul MacDonald and Judge William O’Neill consider my findings of Housing Assistance Corporation and other human service agencies as “delusional”. I have suggested in correspondence with corroborating materials that the organization provides negligent services and housed a number of active narcotics addicts, sex offenders and other violent offenders. Rick Presbrey, Chief Executive Officer of Housing Assistance Corporation is on record referring to me as “irresponsible” for suggesting violent convicts and other offenders were associated with the shelter. I tracked a number of rapes and homicides to the shelter complex and adjacent properties. Photographs and court records of offenders have been forwarded to public officials in the past. The overwhelming evidence is compelling.

Correspondence forwarded to your office in the past includes an allegation of witness tampering and obstruction of justice made by Christopher Worthington, Esq., the father of the homicide victim in People v. McCowen. Christopher McCowen was also traced to the crack house where I resided from 2002-2004. Judges in the Barnstable District Court System aware of documented impropriety include Chief Justice William O’Neill, Judge Donald Carpenter, Judge Joan Lynch, and former Chief Justice Joseph Reardon. Reardon diverted this offender three times into Gosnold, Inc., and Barnstable Drug Court while McCowen was on the lamb in Hyannis for the murder of Worthington. Carpenter, Lynch and O’Neill were prosecutors with District Attorney Michael O’Keefe under the tenure of retired and deceased District Attorney Phillip Rollins.

On December 2, 2009, I was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest and Criminal Harassment. In October of 2006, I was originally charged with Criminal Harassment and the charges were dropped after three years of probation. Since the original charge, I have located a witness and hospital records that demonstrate that I was indeed assaulted by the wife of a Barnstable Police Officer. Jane Sweeney, RN, wife of Sergeant Sean E. Sweeney attacked and threatened me on the evening of December 19, 2004. I have a detailed recollection of the incident, corroborating medical records, and I have located a credible witness to confirm the allegation. District Attorney Michael O’Keefe, Chief Paul MacDonald and Detective Valerie Hemmila covered up the incident. I was also told by Interim Chief Paul MacDonald that if I did not stop speaking publicly about narcotics trafficking and associated violence in downtown Hyannis I would be incarcerated. Judge William O’Neill continues to hold me responsible for the outrageous actions of the Barnstable Police Department.

On the morning of December 2, 2009, the arresting officer, Patrolman Christopher Challies chased me in his vehicle for complaining about the attack and threat of the wife of a police officer, threw me onto the pavement. Challies deliberately exposed me from the waist down in public. The incident occurred in broad daylight, in public, in front a number of witnesses and two other arresting officers. I am currently being held for a second forensic evaluation and eventual trial.

Considering the magnitude of items posted on www.welcometobarnstable.com and materials forwarded with correspondence to you in the past indicating a “conflict of interest, shouldn’t Chief Justice William O’Neill recuse himself? In light of the number of District Court Judges involved and aware of documented impropriety, shouldn’t I be entitled to a change of venue?

Please consider speaking to my attorney, Penelope Psomos, Esq. She can be reached at (508)362-0166.

Yours truly,

Mary Clements

Why Is There So Much Unoccupied Commercial Real Estate in Hyannis?

2010-09-02T11:17:00.000-07:00

Here is a sampling of letters that I forwarded to a number of parties while I was held for a forensic review and evaluation. I was arrested and charged on December 2, 2009 for Disordery Conduct, Resisting Arrest and Criminal Harassment. I have been ver vocal in the past regarding the negligence of human services, substandard services to the homeless, and the confluence with police and the District Attorney's Office.

Dear Special Agent Lewis,

Please consider the enclosed correspondence to US Attorney Loucks. You once suggested that I “do the greatest good for the greatest number” in regard to materials that I collected in reference to Christopher McCowen. As you are aware, McCowen was a patron of one of the crack houses where I resided in Hyannis. You are also aware that I lived in three narcotics infested buildings in Barnstable while I researched negligent services of Housing Assistance Corporation. The homeless population has been decimated by substandard services and public safety of the surrounding community has been compromised. Unfortunately, public safety has also been jeopardized by mismanagement of the Barnstable Police Department under the tenure of both former Chief John Finnegan and current Chief Paul MacDonald. I have been told that I am a material witness to illegality and impropriety in Barnstable.

I have asked for your assistance in this matter. You may recall that I confided items regarding Mrs. Sean Sweeney, Detective Valerie Hemmila, Patrolman Sean Roycroft and Detective Mark Delaney to you in the past. The narcotics trafficking and associated violence in Hyannis is exacerbated by law enforcement ignoring materials that confirm corruption.

Would you speak to my attorney, Penelope Psomos at (508)362-0166?

Cape Cod: Not Always an Idyllic Place!

2010-07-28T17:30:00.000-07:00

Judge Gary Nickerson has an allegation of judicial misconduct described in the brief for the Appeal of Christopher McCowen. McCowen was convicted in the rape and murder of Miss Christa Worthington of Truro in 2008. Attorney Robert George has cited a number of errors in the trial of McCowen. They include the matter of the chain of evidence in the procurement of McCowen's DNA. Judge Joan Lynch compelled the taking of McCowen's DNA three months subsequent to the arrest of McCowen. Judge Joan Lynch, formerly married to Barnstable District Attorney Michael O'Keefe signed the order to compel McCowen to give his DNA based on an unrelated felony conviction. Attorney Robert George's name is signed to the documents, but George states he has no knowlede of the taking of a "second sample". I found the documents in August of 2006 when researching material after I was charged with Criminal Harassment.

The police attempted to charge me with Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest and Criminal Harassment. It has been established that the wife of a Barnstable Police fficer threatened me in 2004. There are medical records and documents confirming the allegation. The District Attorney has indicated that they prefer to resolve the case without further criminal litigation. I have been told that I am a material witness in the Appeal of the Commonwealth v. McCowen.

To date, Tiny Taryn Thoman continues to harass and annoy her neighbors and their children in the small village of Marstons Mills.

My last post before my six month hiatus indicated that I was taking time off to work on The Brown for US Senate Campaign. As their Opposition Research Specialist, I had ample ammunition against Democratic Candidate Attorney General Martha S. Coakley. Materials on the ineffectiveness of Coakley were forwarded to the Office of then State Senator Scott Brown in June of 2009. It included documented inefficiency and substantial failure of Martha S. Coakley to the Barnstable area and the Cape Cod region. Cape Cod was then indentified as a target against the Kennedy Machine and a week link in the Democratic Chain.

Please note the man of the hour, Mr. Patrick Healy, Campaign Manager for the Cape Cod region. Healy hailed his loyalties early also, to State Senator, now US Senator Scott Brown. Pat not only ran a super ground campaign, his Internet skills were savvy. Healy was unencumbered by the nasty habits known to Taryn Thoman, such as harassing neighbors. The Janet Joakim Recall flopped miserable because Thoman tried to take on the big time.

Dear Senator Brown,

Your performance at the Senatorial Debate of January 11th was remarkable and outstanding. You were effective on all counts in regard to foreign policy and generating a strong business base to keep taxes down.

The abortion debate and issue is in a state of flux. Roe v. Wade is an outdated argument. Unfortunately, Emily's List, NARAL, NOW and Planned Parenthood would protect rape to insure "abortion on demand". The vast majority of human service providers in Barnstable are "pro-choice" and have done little, if anything to improve public safety for innocent men and women and vulnerable children and protect them from corruption.

Please review the correspondence and materials enclosed. In addition, please review corroborating documents posted on www.welcometobarnstable.com. Good luck! And give my regards to Pat Healy of the Hyannis Headquarters!

Sincerely,

Barack, the Hero, Pardons Wrong Turkey! Taryn Thoman Crashes White House State Dinner!

2009-11-27T08:56:00.000-08:00

Democratic golden child, and Taryn Thoman hero, Barack Obama, apparently pardoned the wrong turkey this Thanksgiving. Considering the performance of this administration and the ratings of this president, most expected Obama to excuse himself. When pardoning this years turkey, Obama did not realize he was giving Taryn Thoman, Barnstable's biggest turkey, a reprieve.

As usual, Taryn Thoman and Dennis Wilcox showed no gratitude. Thoman and Wilcox were so eager to rub elbows with the rich and famous, they crashed Michelle and Barack Obama's State Dinner held at the White House earlier this week!

Notice bleachy, blonde, hair and tacky, red dress worn by some insignificant, uninvited, Reality TV Star, wore to the now, infamous, White House State Dinner. The party was also crashed by the meretricious, overbearing, couple, Taryn Thoman and Dennis Wilcox. The thinking in Thoman's feeble brain was that she could outshine the first lady with tacky attire, fake jewelry, revealing cleavage and pretentious appearance and attitude.

Here is Taryn Thoman making her entrance at the White House. Dance, Taryn, dance! The Secret Service is still trying to explain how Barnstable's Queen of the Commodes, turkey, "Taryn of the Toilets" made it past the security check and gates to invade the now, infamous, White House Dinner.

Speaking of Barnstable's Toilets...

Stewart’s Creek residents plan approach to slow sewering
Written by David Still II
November 27, 2009
Better financing, not end of project, a goal:

Residents of the Stewart’s Creek area of Hyannis, which is the focus of a $7.2 million sewer project, gathered Nov. 21 to see about slowing the project and getting a better financing plan. The meeting was called by a group calling itself SCRUBS, Stewarts Creek Residents United on Barnstable Sewers. About 60 people turned out for the meeting held in the basement of Calvary Baptist Church on Lincoln Road in Hyannis.

Ernie Doody and Louise DiCecca, both of Greenwood Avenue on the west side of the creek, organized the meeting. After the meeting, Doody said that he worked for the post office for 38 years “and never delivered a letter.” He finds great irony in that given the door-to-door work he’s done on the sewer issue. There seemed to be agreement and energy to pursue Barnstable attorney Michael Turner’s recommendation of a two-pronged strategy incorporating legal and political means. Turner, who has not been retained by the group, provided advice on what legal hurdles would need to be cleared for a successful suit to go forward. He said that a suit could be filed in Barnstable Superior Court, which has jurisdiction, for about $500. For it to go anywhere, he said that those filing the suit would have to show that the town council’s votes was made improperly.

Turner said he had not looked into the details of the case and did not suggest a strategy, but in responding to questions pointed to some obvious places to look, including whether proper public notice was given. Turner also encouraged residents to maintain political pressure to accompany legal action should it be filed. In the cases he brings, the attorney said, he usually wins “because I never go away. I am a severe pain in the ass… and that’s what you need to be.” Asked to put odds on the success of any legal effort, Turner put it at 50/50, but acknowledged he hadn’t fully researched the aspects of the case. “So, this is a bloody mess,” Turner said as a way of summarizing the intertwining issues. “The law will only give you one avenue of relief and one way to go. You need both. The stronger of the two is going to be the political avenue”. Those attending the meeting planned to show up in good numbers at future town council meetings, beginning Dec. 3 with strategy to maintain a presence and to keep the issue solidly before the council. It’s also clear that many of the residents at the meeting distrust town hall. The town’s sewer program was described as a “divide and conquer” strategy, focusing on small areas.

“That’s why they’re doing this so slyly? To divide and conquer?” one woman asked.
“When you speak against the council, they get restraining orders and remove them from the building,” another said. Getting good information at the start of the meeting, Doody read a disclaimer about the information that would follow.
“We accept no liability… It’s up to you to verify the information,” he said. Among the goals of SCRUBS is to get and disseminate good information about the project, its costs and alternatives. Much of the meeting was led by Centerville resident Rob Anderson, who made wastewater issues a key part of his bid for Precinct 2 town councilor in November. “We need to stop working on assumptions and we need to start working on facts,” Anderson said. “That’s one of the reasons why we called this meeting.” Doody said he said he doesn’t oppose the plan to sewer, just how the town is proposing to pay for it.

“It’s not about the sewerage… it’s about the financing,” he said, gaining some nods around the room.

The conversation turned briefly to the allied topic of the recall election of Precinct 13 councilor Greg Milne, who supports the Stewart’s Creek project.
Doody, who collected some of the recall signatures, said, “The simple reason is that he is not representing us in a fair manner.” Laurie Brown, who lives on Woodbury Avenue on the east side of the creek, finds fault with the town’s approach to residents, which she calls “very disrespectful,” but also with the 80 percent of town residents who don’t turn out and vote. SCRUBS collected signatures and contact information to put together a data base of individuals for future meetings and possible action. Some also made donations, which would be put toward future efforts.
Stewarts Creek Bids Opened at the meeting, Doody said that contracts had already been awarded for the sewer work.

While bids were opened for both sides of the project last week, they remain under review. No awards have been made pending a standard review of the bid documents.
The lowest bidders for the east side of the project were Gioioso Construction of Boston, $2,356,498.25; FED Corp. of Dedham, $2,512,950.75; and Robert B. Our Construction of Harwich, $2,526,733.50. For the west side of the Stewart’s Creek project, the three lowest bidders were Robert B. Our Construction, $2,389,502.44; Fed Corp., $2,452,447; and Grove Construction of Bellingham, $2,544,010.
Council Citizens Committee meets Dec. 1

In a related matter, the Citizens Advisory Committee to be appointed by Council President Fred Chirigotis will hold its first meeting Thursday, Dec. 10, at 5 p.m. in town hall.

A number of individuals have been invited to attend and participate, but the final appointments to the ad hoc committee have not been made.
For additional information about SCRUBS, email Louise DiCecca at louise.stewartscreek@gmail.com

Folks, how much do you want to bet that user Taryn Thoman is the "woman who commented" about restraining orders and removal from the council podium. Taryn, I was the victim removed from the council dais, not you! You spoiled, rotton turd!

Thoman showed no gratitude for my efforts. Furthermore, there was never any "restraining order" to preclude me from speaking at council meetings. The world doesn't revolve around you, and you don't even live in Milne's precinct. Get over yourself! You overbearing, aging, conniving, stage star!

Barnstable Youth and Community Center: No Place for Eight Year Olds Hurling Racial Epithets, Slurring, and Using Vulgar Language!

2009-11-25T10:53:00.001-08:00

On November 10th, 2008, the evening before Veteran's Day, the Computer Internet Service of The Barnstable Youth and Community Center was hip-hopping with school-aged children. Most, of the little folks, reside in the Captain's Quarters/ Bearses Way locale in Hyannis, Precinct 9. Unfortunately the children were poorly supervised. The current Director of Services to Teens and Youth, Mark Boardley, has great expectations for those tolerating unruly behavior of children and teens in this newly built facility. The recreational center provided to members of the community of all ages and is supported with public monies and taxpayer funds. It also open to inviduals of all ethinic, socioeconomic and diverse populations.

Consider the following correspondence, describing the behavior that I witnessed. We experience, yet, another, fateful evening in Barnstable. So much for "No Place for Hate"! Unfortunately, the current teen supervisor in charge of supervising children dropped the ball on proctoring children. A Barnstable High School student in charge of these children was alarmed when I sought a police officer to control poorly supervised and disruptive children. An eight year old decided to confront and question an adult, who offender her by stating "shhhhhh". The student reported the "incident" to Mark Boardley. Boardley then spoke to me about his "issues" with my attitude. Boardley my considers my concerns ridiculous. The confrontational, poorly supervised, child was deemed" appropriate" with the Director of the Youth Center. Mark Boardley, ultimately responsible for the Teen Supervisors monitoring the room, considered slurring, out of control children, potentially damaging computer systems, a common and natural occurrence. I went to seek the officer on duty over the unruly and confrontational atmosphere in the teen room.

The "No Place for Hate" contingent asked me in the future, not to summon the officer on duty for such behavior. They asked that these matters be brought to their attention. Unfortunately, this small child that confronted me, did not know me, had never made my acquaintance. She continued to confront an adult she perceived to be invading hostile territory. I am unsure why the proctor thought a child striking up a conversation and confronting someone that she had never met as "appropriate". The supervisor of the room thought nothing of children damaging equipment, rolling around the computer facility on chairs with wheels, making contact with equipment and other children and confronting an adult as within the "purview" of an eight year old.

The Hyannis Youth and Community Center nearly never came to fruition. There was a lot of dissent and argument over the necessity of this recreational center, and even more controversy over the location. Councilor Rick Barry expressed concern over safety in the area in the early development of this project. He was met with ardent criticism delivered at public comment. Many continued to support the project based on violence known to the region.

There were accounts of gunfire on several occasions, narcotics trafficking and arson in the area planned for this multi-million dollar project. One incident of gunfire, in 2004, included bullets flying over the heads of children in the Captain's Quarters locale of Hyannis. Councilor Harold Tobey initiated a "Take Back the Streets" effort walking the area with several councilors. The events were highly publicized. Chief Finnegan took the colossal boot, weeks later. That wasn't until we all watched the public flogging of Finnegan, as Councilor Tobey, a retired police officer "ripped Finnegan an new one".

Word, on the street, is that members of the recreational facility feel unsafe in the new, well financed, and heavily supported, community center. It ain't just me! Elderly people from the Senior Center now walk the track, only in the morning. They don't feel safe in the afternoons, and evenings. Representatives from CORD are supporting the project. In addition, CORD financially supports by advertising at the ice skating rink. Disabled people who have joined are expressing concern for their children who play hockey and use the rink. There had been an incident of a caucasian child denied playing time with ethnic minorities on the basketball court.

John Reed, Coordinator of the NAACP has asked that we address all concerns to him and to the individuals working with diversity in the area. Personally, I'm hoping this project doesn't go by way of Rick Presbrey's other failed endeavors! If "children are the future", I'm shaking with fear and trepidation. These children may have no future.

At least Taryn Thoman gets to take out another one of my public Internet terminals. No Place for Hate, my ASS, Taryn. I have a laptop, anyway!

Dear Mr. Boardley,

Thank your for addressing your recent concerns in regard to the behavior of youth and children in the Youth Center of the Hyannis Youth and Community Center. When I toured the facility last week, I asked a number of questions about access to such a facility and specifically whether it was accessible for adults. I was reassured that the majority of the time, there would be no reason as to why adults would not be able to use the facility and I was encouraged to join by the staff member on duty taking registrations at the front desk. Clearly there is a clashing of styles that may be related to behavior patterns and expectations that originate not only with the age range of people who use the center, but also the expectations of culture and ethnicity concentrated in the Hyannis area of Captains Quarters and Bearses Way. I am certainly unaccustomed to a child approaching me, asking me questions about my profession and challenging me over something as benign as using the utterance “shhhhhhhhh”. I am truly sorry if I upset the sensibilities of an eight year old using racial slurs and vulgarities. I am accustomed to such language, but find it difficult to tolerate. I am surprised that the staff attendant on duty thought that an adult demonstrated “an attitude” as unruly children uttering ethnic slurs, vulgarities and running around the facility slamming chairs and behaving in a disruptive manner in such a fashion that is not only offensive, but exhibited behavior that could damage expensive equipment.

Recently, Barnstable has once again become the target of a Hate Crime. There have been a number of graffiti and vandalism that demonstrate swastikas, racial epithets and threats in regard to slurring. Although use of the epithet “nigger” is often used within the Black American culture, it is difficult to witness the use of slurring in the context of the number of Hate Crimes currently affecting the Town of Barnstable. It is apparent that I am not the “type of patron” appropriate for the Youth Center. I consider a group of school aged children behaving in an out of control manner, uttering slurs as somewhat unattractive and unacceptable. I am working on correspondence to the Councilor Janice Barton, the Liaison to the Barnstable “No Place for Hate” Committee and to Councilor Debra Dagwan, the newly elected Councilor from this Precinct to advise them of such behavior.

Could you make arrangements to refund my membership fees? I have an appointment to meet with the administration next week in regard to the behavior I have witnessed and the quality of supervision of the children in this room. I am surprised that you insist that the behavior I witnessed is within a parameter of acceptable behavior for children. If this is the manner in which children are allowed to treat each other, and the language and style is acceptable, I can understand why Hyannis is plagued with the problems it currently has. Councilor Rick Barry suggested that safety of children would be a problem in this locale. A rancorous debate occurred subsequent to this suggestion years ago, when the suggestion of this newly built facility was a mere idea and dream. Clearly Attorney Barry has demonstrated foresight. Indeed, safety is going to be a problem.

There are other available public Internet rooms that are more appropriate for older members of the community that are accustomed to a more stringent standard of civility. I truly apologize if my insistence on seeking a public safety officer as these children became disruptive aggressive and offensive as an indicator of my having “an attitude”

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Dear Ms. Machado,

Please review the account of the difficulty that I witnessed in the Internet Communications Room on the evening of the November 10th, 2009. I have enclosed correspondence to Mark Boardley, Director of Services for Teens and Youth. On the evening mentioned, there were substantial problems with the quality of supervision of school aged children requiring intervention of an officer. In the narrative provided, you will read an account of children hurling racial epithets and slurring, using vulgarities and rolling around the computer room making contact with each other on rolling chairs and potentially damaging the equipment. Unfortunately, there was no officer on duty to assist with the rambunctious, poorly supervised children. Because a school aged child approached me and engaged me in a dialogue with the monitor and proctor present, I went to find a security officer. The child was quite persistent. The supervisor for this room considers this appropriate behavior for children. Mr. Boardley met with me, stating that he had “issues” with my attitude.

When I sought membership to the Youth and Community Center, I specifically asked about availability of computer equipment for adult use and hours that would be appropriate for children vs. adults. I was told that there was no reason that adults could not use the computer room and if the room was going to be used for any other purpose that I would be notified well in advance that there was a special occasion. Mr. Boardley has asked that I relinquish my membership to the Youth and Community Center suggesting that “this would be fine by him”. Could you please return my $20 membership fee? I am accustomed to inner city black American children using slurs and listening to the controversial lyrics of hip-hop and rap music. I am unaccustomed to a poorly supervised child accosting and confronting an adult of which she had not made acquaintance. I am also not accustomed to children abusing equipment. I apologize if my concern for the rowdy and rambunctious nature of children becoming physical with equipment is interpreted at an “issue” for the offended and I sincerely have no interest in encouraging an eight year old child to argue with an adult of which she had no acquaintance. Barnstable Town Councilor Rick Barry once expressed concern over safety at the Bearse’s Way location of the Youth and community Center. Clearly safety is going to be a factor and Mr. Boardley has more issues than he realizes.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Mary Anne, you're going to need that big mouth with "Taryn of the Toilets" and the COGGERS on the tail, so go get John Reed, (don't go mixin' up John Reed, the brother from the NAACP with John Reed from Presbrey's NOAH Shelter, the WPOD) and show 'em what you got! Listen, girlfriend, you've got bigger and better things to do! I was thrilled to follow behind you last Thursday, because you made so much sense. But get on Boardley, kick him to the curb, and you go girl!

Use of racial slurring is common within the ethnicity. It is something that is more prevalent with regard to rap and hip-hop. Bigger problems ensue when an eight year old is allowed to confront and adult that she did not know with no repercussions. The slurring is something that needs to be worked out among Black Americans. White folks will flat out start a race war in the city of Boston by suggesting blacks should not use slurs in colloquial language. Good luck with diversity and race relations. I'm among the offended, so I want my money back. But I'm still wishing you well, and hoping for the best!

Friday, the 13th was not a Happy Birthday for Hyannis resident, Lillian "Lilly" White. On the evening prior to her forty seventh birthday, Lilly decided to sing Karaoke in the local establishment "The Duck Inn Pub". Lilly was concerned about joining a group of friends gathering at the Duck Inn Pub for Karaoke that fateful, Friday night. Lilly had been aked to leave on prior occasions for her wheelbound status. Lilly stated that her wheelbound status precluded her from being served soft drinks and appetizers at the local watering hole. At the insistence of friends, Lilly was talked into heading over to the well known Main Street pub. Upon arriving, friends and partygoers were excited and all smiles to see Lilly and began wishing her a Happy Birthday! One patron began choosing a song for Karaoke.

The owner, John Vhu, approached Lily and suggested that she move her wheelchair, as she was "blocking an entrance" and "taking up too much room". Lilly was far in a corner, and if you consider a wall with no window an entrance, I guess she was guilty as charged. The owner then escorted her out of the establishment, refusing to serve her. Vhu stated that the motorized wheelchair made her a public hazard and refused to serve her stating she would be "Driving to Endanger" and "Operating Under the Influence". When the owner was confronted by witnesses, Vhu tried to claim that Lilly was obviously intoxicated. Lilly had nothing to drink that evening. Lilly, a diabetic, has abstained from the use of alcohol for nearly thirty years.

Friends of the insulted explained to owner and manager, John Vhu that the gathering intended to order soft drinks and dinner for Lilly. The manager refused to change his mind, ordering the birthday girl out of the establishment and not to return. Witnesses stated that they would seek legal counsel and hire a lawyer for Lilly. They were also ejected from the venue.

Humiliated, embarassed and hurt, Lilly immediately left for home in tears. A gathering of concerned friends and witnesses provided phone numbers and an account of the outrageous actions of the owner. Some began twittering on their cellular phones and posted the incident on Craig's List.

Sadly, a Level III Sex Offender employed by the Duck Inn Pub was crooning his rendition of "Just My Imagination" in front of the Karaoke machine, as Lilly White was forced to depart. See the photographs and images provided in the slideshow posted below.

Lilly has met with executives and advocates from Cape Organization of the Rights of the Disabled (CORD). Attorneys are stepping forward en masse offering to represent Lilly in litigation against the proprietor of the Duck Inn Pub.

Dear Ms. Jung,

In the late evening of November 13th at approximately eleven pm, Lillian White, accompanied by two acquaintances, briefly attended Karaoke Night at the Duck Inn Pub on Main Street in Hyannis. Ms. White was asked to leave by the owner and manager of the Duck Inn Pub. Ms. White was told to leave the establishment based strictly on her status as a disabled person. The owner/manager, John Vhu, noted that Ms. White was in a wheelchair with oxygen apparatus attached and supplied. Mr. Vhu refused to serve Ms. White a soft drink and considered her a patron that would be “driving under the influence”. Ms. White is a non-drinker. Several witnesses noted that Ms. White clearly did not imbibe that evening. Mr. Vhu ejected Ms. White from the venue based strictly on the fact that she was in a wheelchair.

Karaoke was well underway upon the arrival of Ms. White and her friends. A number of individuals witnessed this event. John A. Greene, a Level III Sex Offender, and former employee of the establishment was singing Karaoke upon the arrival of Ms. White. The venue is adjacent to a youth bowling alley, two schools and a daycare center. Green was crooning “Just My Imagination” with a partner, and was later seen imbibing at the bar. Please see the photographs provided. Ms. White’s right to enjoyment of a public establishment and service of food and soft drinks were interrupted. Ms. White’s rights were clearly denied by the owner of the establishment. Ms. White was embarrassed, humiliated, and hurt by the owner’s actions that denied her fundamental rights. A number of witnesses were disturbed by the actions of the proprietor and offered assistance. Several provided telephone numbers and an account of the events that transpired that evening.

Mr. Vhu continues to refuse to honor Ms. White as a patron. This wheelchair bound woman remains barred from the establishment at this time. This is the second occasion where Ms. White was denied service at this establishment.

Can you advise Ms. White of her rights in this matter?

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Friday the 13th at the Duck Inn Pub! What a Nightmare! Happy Birthday, Lilly!

Found A Lawyer for "Taryn of the Toilets!"

2009-11-23T13:01:00.000-08:00

Barnstable's Queen of Commodes, Taryn Anne Marie Patricia Thoman Wilcox, also known endearingly as "Taryn of the Toilets" suspended her website efforts today. The potty mouthed Thoman is the publisher of www.barnstablesewers.com. "Taryn of the Toilets" is preoccupied with telephoning constituents and critics of her toileting issues regarding Stewart's Creek. Taryn, rocket scientist de jour, is threatening elderly homeowners on fixed incomes with imminent loss of their homes. Thoman has organizized a raid on the bathrooms of constituents of the Stewart's Creek locale. Precinct 13 is governed by Councilor J. Gregory Milne. Citizens for Open Goverment is now threatening the recall of once golden boy, Milne out of boredom and ennui.

The bankrupt and foreclosing, "Taryn of the Toilets", demonstrates exemplary skills at tax evasion and insurance fraud. Unfortunately, this aging mother of a school aged child, once again. ignors her marital and maternal obligations. "Taryn of the Toilets" prefers her new political role as "used up housewife" abused by the skelaton crew remaining as "Citizens for Open Government". Please enjoy the slideshow posted previously in older posts placed below and review Thomans attatchment and liens on previous posts. The itmes indicate the sorry, state of Taryn Thoman's financial affairs.(as opposed to any other affairs, also posted below). Most likely, attorney Mike Turner, has yet to realize and appreciate the extent of Thoman's phony baloney.

"Taryn of the Toilets" developed that infamous fake, affected, telephone voice years back. Initially she struggled as a failing stage musician in Europe. After getting kicked off the continent for having no talent, she masqueraded as a reputable business woman on Main Street for twenty-one years. Thoman eagerly demonstrated her abilities at tax evasion and insurance fraud, complaining that local politicos just didn't make it easy enough for her to do business. Heineken sponsored her European adventures. No doubt, Thoman's fans drank plenty of it, as she disgraced the stages in Europe for four years with her paltry talent before attempting to take Barnstable by storm.

Thoman spent the formative years of her college education selling narcotics at Ohio Wesleyan. "Taryn of the Toilets" spent one year dealing and failing at her studies at Ohio State before the administration kicked her out on her ass and bought her a one way ticket to Europe to bless the Germans with her meager talents. The girls at Smith were happy to see this slut set up in Hyannis. Good riddance!

...and Taryn? Greg Milne is not interested in your fixation at the anal stage of development. Go find yourself another John!

Last Call to Stop Stewart's Creek Sewer Expansion

Updated: Congrats to Louise DiCecca, Ernie Doody, Rob Anderson and Michael Turner for arranging this very successful meeting on the Stewart's Creek Sewer Expansion Project. More than 75 folks turned out to support the Creekers. Stay tuned for more updates.

Saturday November 21, 2009
From 3:00 – 6:00pm
At the Calvary Baptist Church
25 Lincoln Road, Hyannis
(West Main Street, Across from Star Market)

Here's an excerpt from the Cape Cod Times article regarding this meeting:
Attorney Michael Turner, a Barnstable resident, will help explore legal options in case negotiations fail. A number of procedural questions remain about the project, Turner said yesterday, including whether town council gave proper notice for the initial discussions on the project and whether the 100 percent betterment option was properly introduced.

"There are a lot of problems with the Stewarts Creek process and a lot of people are very, very upset," Turner said. "Obviously court is the last bastion. You don't run into court first, but it's important that people know what their options are."

While residents discuss their options, town planners are proceeding with construction plans. They are currently reviewing construction bids for the two phases of the project — the lowest, between $2.3 and $2.6 million, came in at or below estimate, according to Public Works Director Mark Ells. They are planning to start construction this spring, Ells wrote in an e-mail to the Times. Meanwhile, planners are also reviewing the town's comprehensive wastewater, which intends to add about 5,400 homes to the town sewer system over the next seven to 10 years.

The plan, shaped with the help of a citizens advisory group of 14 Barnstable residents, prioritized area neighborhoods based on location, proximity to water resources and other factors, originally listing the Halls Creek, Long Beach and Red Lily Pond neighborhoods among the next areas for sewers. But neighbors worry that Lake Wequaquet, a proposal shot down last spring by town council, could return to the top of the list. The council first shot down the Stewarts Creek project, then approved it before sending it on to voters last month for the final say.

"Clearly (Stewarts Creek) is an example of what will happen to Wequaquet Lake down the road," Turner said. "The Wequaquet Lake Association should be watching closely."

Hey Lopez, Call me Crazy, but at least I'm not senile, you old fartin' codger!

Good Evening Members of the Barnstable Town Council:

Not much has changed since I left Hyannis last May. The rancorous and cantankerous debate among factions continues. Although dissent, dialogue, and discourse are a good thing, the current quality of vitriolic and vindictive efforts among warring factions remains an impediment to progress. The grass roots advocacy group, Citizens for Open Government has worn out its welcome in Barnstable as well as its credibility. The current debate on the sewering issue is full of false and misleading purported facts, innuendos and innaccurate statements. the populace is being told that the cost is anywhere between $150,000, to $65,000, to $35,000 to hook up town wide sewering in the Stewart's Creek locale of Precinct 13.

Reality is that there are a number of pressing issues affecting Precinct 13 that rival in comparison to the sewering issue. Public safety, narcotics trafficking, and associated violence plaguing this area are far more newsworthy and merit much more attention than the current debate over town wide sewering. The sewering matter is in its rudimentary and inchoate stages, and this unfortunately left the issue wide open to politicized during an election year. My thoughts are that Citizens for Open Government is not only using these issues as a scare tactic for home owners in Precinct 13, but attempting to gain attention in the media for the purposes of electing candidates.

Building in a down economy can he a healthy boon to an economically deprived region. Materials and labor are cheaper and there are a lot of people looking for work. The "nuts and bolts" are yet to be worked out, but there is no reason to claim that "the sky is falling". My understanding is that there is no betterment politicy for sewers anyway. The policy in the past only affects the building of roads, but the betterment policy in regard to sewering is yet to be established. Last spring, the council rejected a town wide sewering effort for Wequaquet. Clearly, this indicates that this endeavor is in its rumdimentary stages and there is no compelling reason to engage in recall effort over an idea that is in its inchoate stages. There are more pressing priorities for this area under siege, and recalling a councilor over an idea that is still in its rudimentary stages is preposterous.

In regard to the charter, this same lobby group, Citizens for Open Government accused one voter, and that's me of voting illegally in the election and attempted to make a formal complaint and charge the Office for Campaign and Political Finance and the Attorney General's Office. Although I have a voter address that I have yet to change from my prior address, I was hospitalized during the election, and could not have voted.

That's how low end Citizen's for Open Government, Taryn Thoman, Eric Schwaab, and Gary Lopez actually are. I'm sure most citizens of Barnstable are still reeling over the confusion created over the charter. Citizens for Open Government is vulgar, obscene, ludicrous, ridiculous and will never take responsibility for their outrageous action.

Ignore COG. Citizens for Open Government is not simply a group of malcontents, it is a group of fools worthy of being ignored. Support your councilors including and especially Greg Milne at this time, and hope for a better day.

Citizens for Open Government: Crashed and Burned!

2009-11-22T11:10:00.000-08:00

Gary Lopez, local political activist and former candidate for State Representative, can no longer find his way out of the wrapper with a compass and a map! Initially, Gary Lopez was the driving force behind the Recall Effort of Councilor Greg Milne of Precinct 13. Lopez now claims that he is "distancing himself" from the Recall Effort. Gary Lopez, of Centerville, a colossal and countless loser, has yet to succeed at any political initiative supported by his feeble, grassroots advocacy group, Citizens for Open Government. Here is a list of Garyn Lopez most recent failed efforts:

* Recall Initiative of former Barnstable Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim.

* Charter Commissioner and passage of a newly revised charter providing for a much needed mayor.

* Had his political ass whooped by Barnstable Town Assessor Jeff Rudzniak, the Business Improvement District and the Barnstable Chamber of Commerce.

* Campaign Coordinator and Manager for Joe Pino for Barnstable Town Councilor in the Sixth Precinct

* Could only get his daughter into a fourth rate institution of higher learning such as Suffolk University.

* Campaigned unsuccessfully against former State Representative, and current Manager of the Town of Barnstable, the puerile John Klimm. Lopez has been eating crow ever since.

Gary Lopez unsuccessfully attempted to recall President Janet Swain Joakim of Precinct Six. Lopez utilized the meager talent of two-bit twit, Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills. Taryn Thoman Wilcox has picked up a new moniker, Barnstable's Queen of the Commodes, "Taryn of the Toilets". Thoman, a narcotics addict and neglectful mother, attempted non-meritorious litigation against her neighbors in 2005. Taryn Thoman was charged with Criminal Harassment during the Recall Effort of Janet Swain Joakim. Thoman beat the rap by hiring the same attorney as her accomplice in the Recall Effort. Taryn Thoman and her self purported "dangerously creative mind" has never had an original thought in her life!

"Taryn of the Toilets" Thoman developed four obscene graphics of the Barnstable Town Council President. Taryn Thoman also devised over twelve harassing blogsites directed at antagonizing her neighbors and the Joakim family. During the course of her 21 year tenure as a "successful businesswoman", Thoman made fraudulent insurance claims at her failed business, Taryn's Mirror of Main Street. Taryn Thoman had a documented and established record of failing to pay her sales taxes, and is about to foreclose on her "dream home" at 22 Mountain Ash Road in Marstons Mills.

Gary Lopez considers "Taryn of the Toilets" credible. Obviously, Lopez, a retired Centerville businessman, is none too bright. Senile, stupid, or both, Lopez is yet to realize that he and Taryn Thoman are a mere annoyance to the well oiled, political machine of Janet Swain Joakim. Lopez also claimed he was "distancing" himself from the brains behind the Joakim Recall Effort. Yep, that's me! Once senile Lopez, Tiny Tot Thoman and Toddler Eric "Bugsy" Schwaab claimed they had to "distance" themselves from the driving force behind the Joakim Recall, the effort crashed and burned. All efforts to elect an alternative to Joakim have also "landed in the drink". We anticipate the Milne Recall Effort will go by way of the failed Joakim effort. Citizens for Open Government is the gang that "simply cannot shoot straight". If Taryn Thoman had a brain she would be dangerous!

Sadly, Gary Lopez brags and boasts that he has feasted at the finest banquets. The truth of the matter for this Centerville businessman, is that his highlight on resume is that he "chaffeured" the rich and famous for a living. Henceforth, he drove the intelligentsia and the literati to their banquents. He settled for scraps. Politically, nothing has changed for this sad, failing, tag-along wannabe. I guess it's the best the little boy from Pepperdine can do! At least Eric "Crabsy" Schwaab can boast of doing time at the swanky Reed College. Poor Thoman, never graduated herself from Ohio State. Then again, she is tring to pass of a fifth rate school like Ohio Wesleyan as Ohio State. Janet Joakim has a more impressive pedigree!

Lopez, pitiful and pathetic, even his home is listed in the Barnstable Town Assessors website under his wife's name. She works. He blogs!

What a pussy!

Hey, it's the senile old codger, the over-the-hill farting curmudgeon for one last gas! No wonder Gary Lopez had such a brainfart over the price of jet fuel and the Rectrix lawsuit at the Barnstable Airport! Enjoy the clip from the Wizard of Oz as Gary and Thoman dance around trying to find a brain between them. ...as for Eric "Crabsy" Schwaab and his overactive C-O-C-K? Clearly the wizard. All show, no substance. Ella? Hit the road! Your husband makes a living giving spyware! What a charlaton! Speaking of Crow.........

Presented for your viewing pleasure, Scarecrow Gary Lopez, attempting to terrify homeowners in Precinct 13 with loss of their homes over the sewering issue. Somebody ought to tell the obtuse dolt, Taryn of the Toilets" to tell Toto....." We're not in Kansas, anymore!"

Hey Lopez!..... "If you only had a brain!"

Here is the Real Reason Barnstable Will Never Have a Mayor! Colonel Eric Schwaab, Leader of the NAZI Party! "I Know Nothing"!

2009-11-16T18:17:00.000-08:00

Meet Colonel Eric "Bugsy" Schwaab, Barnstable's answer to the National Socialist German Worker's Party. Schwaab maintains two formal addresses, Brighton and Barnstable. Neither community feels particularly fortunate to have this colossal, Hitler wannabe, claiming residence in a place, once called, civilization. Empathy is a good thing, the best of things. Brighton feels sorry for Barnstable, and clearly, vice versa. Barnstable sypathizes with poor Brighton. Story is that this divorced computer mogul hails from Texas and moved to the poor state of Massachusetts after a messy divorce. Like Dennis Wilcox, he claims to be the victim of a crazy wife.

In 2007, Eric Schwaab wreaked havoc on the otherwise sleepy town of Barnstable. Colonel Schwaab introduced a whole new era of insanity in municipal politics. Initially, Colonel Schwaab trounced Councilor James Munafo in the primary contest for Barnstable Municipal Town Councilor. Rumor has it that this website wizard, suspecting of inflicting computer viruses on unsuspecting victims, shelled out $8000 of his own money to unseat Jim Munafo of Precinct 3. I was there, in the Barnstable Town Hall when newcomer and political fledgling Eric Schwaab edged out the venerable Jim Munafor in the primary race 2007 by the following numbers:

Schwaab 120
Munafo 94
Hersey 89

From an older post on www.capecodliving.blogspot.com, Eric "Bugsy" Schwaab congratulates Gary Brown on his numbers in Precinct 3 as he ran for Tax Collector of the Town of Barnstable. He states that he was invited to Brown's Victory Party. Interesting, because I was a Brown donor ($100) and I attended Brown's Victory Party at the Island Merchant on the evening of his loss. Jim Munafo came in to a round of applause. I didn't see Barnstable's answer to Colonel Schultz there to console Gary, or congratulate Munafo. Incidentally, Munafor was quite cordial toward me. Didn't seem to afraid of the crazies. Then again, his wife is sane.

Colonel Eric Schwaab has been whining a case of sour grapes since his commanding loss to Jim Munafo in 2007. As it stands so far, this loser has been trounced in every effort he has made so far in his attempts to "better" Barnstable politics. If he had the brains to align with someone who knew vastly more than he did, former Barnstable Town Council President Janet Joakim clearly would have been asked to step down from her postition. Schwaab, a retarded spendthrift spent a lousy $500 initially in the effort to unseat Joakim. Schwaab gave $500 to help with expenses. Thoman immediately stepped up and claimed his lousy pocket change. This was after I had already spend close to $2000 of my own money to develop a recall strategy against Joakim. Citizens for Open Government, with Schwaab at the helm, lost an easy win to unseat Joakim. The failed effort was based strictly on the stupidity of this inept, incompetent "political handler".

Colonel Schwaab aligned and backed a trash act like Taryn Thoman. He sustained her loss not only in the charter commission contest, but everthing he has tried since. Trashy, tough talking Taryn Thoman attempted to pass off the work done in the "Recall Effort of Janet Joakim" as her work product. Thoman threantened and attempted to intimidate the wrong person. Thoman's constant barrage of vulgarities maintains as much history as her crazy antics. Schwaab's association with a woman, foreclosing on a house she cannot afford, failing at the Recall Effort, flunking as a political handler of Joe Pino, Tina Carey and Rob Anderson, Colonel Schwaab still doesn't get the message. Taryn Thoman and Eric Colonel Schwaab are now attempting to recall their one time faithful golden boy, Greg Milne. Clearly, Thoman has little understanding of the charter or municipal politics. Taryn Thoman attempted to force non-meritorious litigation on her neighbors. Neighbors, Ron and Christine Howell refused to attack a neighborhood eight year old of child molestation. Thoman then accused two other families of child molestation. She then retained an attorney to force injucntive relief on innocent neighbors. The attorney hired was a "deadbeat Dad" advocate. Having established being one himself, took the case virtually pro bono. Only a fool, like Colonel Schwaab, would back this continually failing loser.

Thoman was caught developing immature and obscene graphics of Janet Joakim. She also prides herself on the use of vulgarities and attempting to persuade others to use the same language. Colonel Schwaab, the website wizard, can easily identify IP addresses indicating Thoman uses foul language and outrageous vulgarities on the blogs. Yet, this perpetual loser, and his galpal "Taryn of the Toilets" continue to accuse and blame the innocent for their antics. Only a Internet Virus culprit, and a foreclosing trashy broad like Thoman with a history of making fake insurance claims, can really believe they have any credibility at all left in the Town of Barnstable.

Thoman dropped the unsuccessful effort at litigation when Eric Schwaab approached her to run for charter commission. Thoman knew little about municipal politics. The aging, third rate, stage musician grasped at yet another chance to steal the limelight. Thoman failed at any effort to be seated on the charter commission. Rumor is that there was a dangerous liaison between Thoman and Schwaab. Dennis Wilcox once confessed that the Thoman Wilcox marriage was strained after his wife "threw herself at Eric Schwaab".

"Here I was with a four year old and a wife that publicly chased a man with more money than I have. I raised a family already, and I only had another child because she didn't have a chance to have a baby. Schwaab distanced himself after the loss, and my wife and I have been working on our marriage ever since. It was humiliating."

Schwaab publicly referred to Taryn Thoman as "methmouth" and Ella Schwaab still does not speak to Queen of Vulgarity "Taryn of the Toilets".

In a fit of rage, as Taryn Thoman threatened me, Thoman admitted that Eric Schwaab was capable of giving "computer viruses" and that I had "better not mess with her or he would start giving "Spyware". This infamous and notorious argument occurred as Thoman was en route to the Town Hall to drop of the affidavit with signatures that I had mostly collected. The "hung over" Thoman spent all morning primping in an air-conditioned car. Poor Schwaab. He expected favors? Go to Hell, Hitler!

Three computers that I used were indeed infected with the computer virus, spyware. In a fit of rage, Eric Schwaab admitted to my father that he gave "a virus" to his computer. My father's computer system was indeed infected with "Spyware". Officer Freddie Rivers has noticed that the computer systme at the public library slows down and shuts down when patrons log on to www.capecodliving.blogspot.com and comments are controversial.

Say what you will about website designer Janet Joakim, she has sense enough not to give Internet viruses for a living. Now you know how this cheap charlaton, Eric Schwaab can afford to sling money around. He's a two bit crook that looks more like a NAZI than a Democrat!

Oh, final tally for the 2007 Munafo vs. Schwaab...but look at the accusations from the "website wizard wannabe political handler that gives Spyware!:

Eric Schwaab lost his bid to unseat incumbent James Munafo Jr. 240 to 188 on Nov. 6, but Monday morning he filed a letter with the Secretary of the Commonwealth asking that the election results not be certified by the town clerk until an investigation of “coordinated efforts to manipulate the election results in the Precinct #3 Town Council race.”

Among the activities Schwaab lists for investigation are voter intimidation, media intimidation, use of municipal services, cyber-hate crimes and influence over water test results.

Here is a sampling of silly Schwaab insanity from fellow blogger, BarnstableBlog.blogspot.com...

The reason for the negativity is simple. Eric Schwaab. Schwaab recently moved into Town and just registered to vote. Many still believe that he lives in Brighton.

But Schwaab, working through his Hate Blog, has slashed and burned everything in the Town of Barnstable. He spent two years trying to convince Barnstable residents that things in Town are terrible. Then he offered himself up as the solution.

He has attacked every Town official, every Town employee and every Town volunteer. He has attacked every town initiative no matter what it was.

What a way to win a race. The Schwaab campaign represents the very worst in us. When he loses on Tuesday, Schwaab should spend months thinking about the tragedy that was his campaign. In the end, you can't criticize those around Schwaab, like John Julius, Gary Lopez, and others. The responsibility for the Schwaab campaign's kamikaze strategy is the responsibility of Eric Schwaab. Shame on you!

The campaign has truly gone bizarre in the last few weeks. Posts by Schwaab on his Hate Blog represent a strange and odd way to want to win a race. Just a sampling of Schwaab's rantings:

"I want you all to know something up front.Today, this one car drove by 3 or 4 times. Two creeps were driving. I could tell that they worked for Munafo and just wanted to steal my signs as soon as I left.They drove by three times and flipped me the bird. I want you to know that when my wife joins me on Saturday, I'm bringing a pile of rocks. If these fu---rs drive by and flip my wife the bird, I'm going to knock out their front teeth. I'm don't fucking around with this one. If Munafo's goons go after my wife they are toast."

Is this the guy you want as your Town Councilor?

Schwaab, who runs a Web design business, said he doesn't depend on the blog so he hits the neighborhoods for old style campaigning too. "I'm pretty well versed on the issues," Schwaab said, with campaign points including keeping the residential exemption and eliminating bus fees.

Gimme Shelter

2009-11-13T10:48:00.001-08:00

Poverty Sucks! Doesn't appear to be getting any better for the Homeless of Hyannis, these days! Scary! There's a whole new generation of impoverished, younger folks appearing in Hyannis, sans roof. The morbidity and mortality of the population is greatly exacerbated by negligent and substandard services provided by Housing Assistance Corporation and the associated O'Neil/Duffy Clinic. Over the past ten years, the number of deaths recorded among the homeless population is an overwhelming. The mismanagment and misdirection of public funds in an outrage! The risk to the safety of the surrounding community remains in jeopardy.

Housing Assistance Corporation pursued a number of outlandish, lavish, expansion projects and attempted to expand negligent housing services to the neighboring Town of Sandwich. Extravagant homes were being planned for executives of Housing Assistance Corporation. Construction of the project was halted after intense lobbying of the Family Association of Sandwich represented by William Henchy, Esq. and formerly homeless people that came forward and testified before the ZBA in Sandwich. The administration of Housing Assistance Corporation planned an $11.5 million dollar project at taxpayer expense. In addition, clinicians and nursing personnel expanded negligent psychiatric services and drug addictions therapy using controversial treatment for habitual narcotics offenders.

Harm Reduction Theory devised by Edith Springer and The Housing First Model developed by the Department of Housing and Urban Develpment/Office for Research and Policy includes experimental practices such as Suboxone Treatment and Methadone Therapy.. Effectiveness for this experimental treatment is low and the liberal access to syringes and needles from recent legalization of over the counter sale of syringes increased the numbers of improperly disposed, contaminated needles strewn about downtown, Hyannis.

Criminality among the population remains predominant and the organization remains in proximity to two schools and a daycare center/preschool.

Where is the outrage?

NOAH SHELTER

This is a 50-bed emergency shelter for individuals:
• In 2003 NOAH saw 533 different individuals (379 were male and 154 were female), in
comparison to 486 different individuals in 2002.
• Of the 533 individuals seen by NOAH in 2003, 258 came to NOAH for the first time: 77% were
from Cape Cod and the Islands and 90% were from Massachusetts.
• Of the Cape Cod towns, Barnstable had the highest percentages of people at 32% of the
total population: of the individuals from Barnstable, the vast majority gave Hyannis as their
last address.
• All 15 Cape towns and both Islands were represented among the NOAH population.
• Many of the non-Cape residents came from the Southeastern Massachusetts communities
(Brockton, Plymouth, Fall River, New Bedford, etc.).
• In 2003 the shelter averaged 60 people per night, an increase from 53 people per night in
2002.
• In 2003, the total number of nights spent at NOAH was 21,748, up from 19,491 in 2002.
• When the shelter is full to capacity homeless persons are either allowed in the foyer,
allowed to sit-up inside the shelter, referred to the Overnights of Hospitality program,
referred to the Pilot House, or turned away.
• In 2003, 154 women were served at NOAH, up from 108 women in 1998.
PILOT HOUSE
Pilot House opened its door on January 22nd, 2003 as a community-based, locally funded collaborative
project to stabilize the most marginalized homeless men and women in the community.
• This program is the result of a collaboration between the Town of Barnstable,
Community Action Committee of Cape Cod and the Islands, Inc., Duffy Health Center
and Housing Assistance Corporation.
• The goal of Pilot House is to stabilize men and women who cannot access other shelters as a result
of mental health or substance abuse issues and improve their status so they can transition to more
permanent housing while continuing to receive support services.
• Since its opening in January 2002, 130 chronically homeless adults have stayed at Pilot House and
are working towards recovery and stability with clinical oversight and intensive case management.
• Within a one year period (January 22 to December 31, 2003) Pilot House provided 3,430
overnight stays to over 130 chronically homeless individuals.
OVERNIGHTS OF HOSPITALITY PROGRAM
The Cape Cod Council of Churches and the Salvation Army jointly coordinate this program:
• Churches and Synagogues open their doors to a small group of homeless persons
who need a warm, safe place to sleep.
• The “Overnights” program serves homeless people, thus lessening the amount of
overcrowding at the NOAH Shelter.
• Around 30 religious organizations participate in the program, with two
churches/synagogues providing shelter on any given night.
• Within just over a one-year period (October 2002 to early October 2003) this program
has provided over 3,000 hospitality stays to homeless men and women.
COSTS OF SHELTERING THE HOMELESS VERSUS PREVENTION
The cost-efficiency of preventing homeless is clear when comparing the following figures.
The cost efficiency of preventing families from becoming homeless is as follows:
• According to Housing Assistance Corporation, the average cost of sheltering a
family (including services) ranges from $23,490 for the least expensive shelter to $54,000 for the
most expensive shelter for women in recovery from substance abuse (based on calculating the
average monthly costs of $2,610 and $6,000 respectively times the average length of stay of nine
months).
• In comparison, Project Prevention, available countywide and coordinated by Housing
Assistance Corporation spends, on average, $1,333 per family for homelessness prevention.
The cost efficiency of preventing individuals from becoming homeless is as follows:
• According to NOAH, the average cost of sheltering a guest (including services) is $1,845 (based
on calculating $45 per night times the average length of stay of 41 nights).
• In comparison, in 2003, the Barnstable Interfaith Council prevention program, coordinated by
NOAH staff, assisted 78 individuals for an average of $317.

Reviewing articles published in the Cape Cod Times can be more palatable by listening to The Rolling Stones. Log on the lyrics of "Gimme Shelter". I never realized the potency of the lyrics!

Cape lawmaker criticizes housing aid proposal
By MOLLY CONNORS
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

November 12, 2009

A Cape lawmaker has challenged a portion of a housing bill he generally supports, claiming that, as written, it could encourage people to become homeless to receive housing aid. State Rep. Matthew C. Patrick, D—Falmouth, was one of the few to raise concerns about the bill that would change the way housing authorities and other housing agencies distribute housing assistance money at a hearing held by the Joint Committee on Housing Tuesday at the Statehouse. Patrick told the committee that, although he supports many parts of the bill, because one of its provisions would give homeless and "imminently homeless" people priority over those who already have housing but are waiting for assistance, the legislation may inadvertently spread the very problem it aims to prevent.

"It's an incentive to become homeless," Patrick said in an interview after his testimony.

Patrick said he hopes the committee will consider an amendment to address his concern. The bill would also require preference for affordable rental housing be given to people who have medical conditions that cannot be accommodated in their current housing and to those who have rent payments that are more than 50 percent of their income. Ellen Shachter, who works with Cambridge and Somerville Legal Services, denied Patrick's claims that the bill would create incentives for people to enter shelters. Shachter, who helped write the legislation, said some housing agencies already give priority to those who are homeless or about to become homeless and the bill would simply create a uniform standard throughout the state.

"In a crisis, every housing provider has to be a part of the solution to homelessness," she said in an interview after her testimony the housing committee. The bill, co-sponsored by state Rep. Cleon Turner, D—Dennis, would require housing programs to ignore an applicant's bad credit score if the applicant has a "positive history" of rent payment. The bill also requires housing providers to accept electronic payments and allows public and subsidized housing applicants to designate someone — for example, a friend or relative — to receive copies of all of their housing paperwork.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Carl M. Sciortino Jr., D-Somerville, would also make it more difficult for housing authorities to deny housing to domestic violence victims.
There was no disagreement among advocates that demand for affordable housing is high. Approximately 76,000 Massachusetts residents — about 4,000 on Cape Cod — are waiting for Section 8 housing vouchers, which provide federally funded housing assistance.

The housing committee has not set a date for a vote on the bill, and Patrick said he was not confident the measure would be voted on this year. Frederick B. Presbrey, chief executive officer of the Housing Assistance Corporation of Cape Cod, said the group receives requests for help from about 30 people daily. Many of them, he said, are in danger of losing their housing. But Presbrey said he shared Patrick's concern that the bill would create incentives for people who are facing years-long waits for Section 8 housing assistance to become homeless. "I'm trying to do what works best for the families in the long run," he said.

Reality indicates that the homeless crisis was created by malfeasance. That is, misdirection of public funds and mismanagement of the reasources supplied by 94-97% taxpayer dollars.

Cape shortchanged on homeless

By Patrick Cassidy
pcassidy@capecodonline.com

October 07, 2009

HYANNIS — In what local housing advocates are calling a potentially devastating blow to the cause, a grant to keep local families from becoming homeless has been awarded at a fraction of what was requested. "We're still going to get the telephone calls, we're still going to get the people walking through the door," said Estella Fritzinger, executive director of the Community Action Committee of Cape Cod and the Islands, the lead agency to request the grant money from the state. Instead of the $1.6 million asked for in the grant proposal, the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development awarded Fritzinger's organization, Housing Assistance Corp. of Hyannis and the Homeless Prevention Council only $200,000 for a variety of programs, including homelessness prevention and other initiatives designed to divert families who would otherwise move into shelters to other forms of housing.

The federal stimulus money is allocated by the state agency, which, HAC president and CEO Rick Presbrey said, is more focused on efforts to move families out of motels in other parts of the state than it is on the Cape's needs. Also, none of the money for the state's Residential Assistance for Families in Transition program that provides short-term financial assistance to families who are homeless or who are about to become homeless is expected to be allocated for the Cape, Presbrey said.

The concept behind these programs and efforts over the past 20 years is that it costs much less to keep a family housed than it does to keep them in a shelter or in a motel, Presbrey said. HAC and the Community Action Committee each see between 20 and 30 people a day who are in need of emergency housing assistance, Presbrey and Fritzinger said. Without the money they had originally requested the agencies will only be able to help 100 families stay in their homes each year versus 700, they said.

The state understands the disappointment of regional agencies but was required by strict federal guidelines to disburse the stimulus money throughout the state in the best possible way to prevent homelessness, Housing and Community Development spokesman Phil Hailer wrote in an e-mail to the Times. In addition to the $200,000 for homelessness prevention services, the Cape — through the Duffy Health Center — will receive more than $600,000 for individual homelessness prevention efforts, Hailer wrote.

For over ten years, executives at Housing Assistance Corporation planned a lavish $11.5 million dollar experimental farm project slated for the Town of Sandwich. The architect's shematic plan included two half-million dollar homes for adminstrative staff, a sports arena with an Olympic size swimming pool, horse and pony stables, a dairy farm, gardens to be cultivated, and a chicken coop intended for clients to gather eggs and sell at a dairy stand.

The initiative failed to pass at the ZBA in Sandwich after concerned former clients introduced information indicating the organization is operating at a negligent standard. Livia Davis and Tom Brigham promised the Town of Sandwich that candidates for the experimental project would be carefully screened from a pool of applicants at the existing NOAH Shelter. Davis and Presbrey also promised the Town of Sandwich that they would return unrehabilitated clients that failed at recovery to the Hyannis area.

Davis continued to bill third party reimbursement and public insurance for clients in the Hyannis area to support the establishment of the project. Housing Assistance Corporation denied that there were any violent narcotics addicts and sex offenders housed at NOAH. Presbrey referred to me as "irresponsible" in August in 2003.

What's Wrong With This Picture?

2009-11-11T08:34:00.000-08:00

Councilor Gregory Milne representing Precinct 13 is subject to a Recall Election, now scheduled for November 17th. As usual, the group leading the latest crazy crusade, is "Citizens for Open Government". On July 4th of 2008, Taryn Thoman, the impetus for yet, another, recall, implored me to attend to the All-America City Parade for the purposes of photographing Councilor Greg Milne. Thoman stated she was unavailable to attend and photograph the event as she was attending "a barbeque" at the home of Tony Pelletier. Pelletier is the Chairman of the Hyannis Civic Association. Milne was running for a position as Commissioner to the Assembly of Delegates.

Politically, Milne had "a lot on his plate" in the year 2008. Litigation was underway in the Barnstable Superior Court to guarantee Milne's right to be seated on the formed "Charter Commission" Review Committee organized earlier that year. Greg Milne also maintained his seat as Councilor of Precinct 13. There was a question of "conflict of interest" and the case was argued effectively on Milne's behalf by Paul Revere in Barnstable Superior Court in 2008. Judge Kane ruled in Milne's favor on August 11 2008. Milne was also campaigning for Commissioner for the Assembly of Delegates at the same time.

Citizens for Open government supported this effort and esentially dubbed Milne their "golden boy". Despite Milne's triple political aspirations, he remained available and attentive to the needs of constituents and supporters. Milne often addressed the controversial nature of Citizens for Open Government, supported grassroots advocacy, but stopped short of considering the often malicious, and frequently vindictive antics of this group as desirable.

Unfortunately, "the bloggers" remain a thorn is everybody's side. Members of this disorganized group have now turned on Milne, a one time ally. Greg Milne was aware of this controversial, and at times, contentious special interest group. Milne often negotiated for reasonable presentation of ideas from this group, and served as a buffer before fellow members of the council. Although Greg Milne is upset that loyalties and partnerships have been betrayed, he remains concerned about the impact of this group on constituents of Precinct 13. Milne's precinct lines include not only Stewart's Creek in the spotlight for sewering hook up, but more importantly, extends to Sea Street, site of recent peaking of narcotics trafficking and associated violence.

There was a triple shooting last month, and the Barnstable Police are still trying to stabilize the neighborhood under seige. Chief Paul MacDonald of the Barnstable Police Department and Councilor Greg Milne have conducted a number of community meetings on public safety. Residents and Business owners are encouraged to remain in contact and communication with patrols and to report suspicious activity. Chief MacDonald has stationed the Mobile Command Unit and a number of official marked police vehicles to patrol the afflicted area.

Clearly, Precinct 13 has a number of vital issues paramount to the quality of living in this precinct. The threat of a Recall couldn't come at worse time for constituents residing in this subsect of the village of Hyannis. Milne is faced with dispelling rumors and false information about sewering imparted on elderly and constituents supporting families in difficult economic times, and focusing on the priority of public safety in his precinct. Here are two of the major items occupying the time and energy of the sitting councilor at this time:

1) Councilor Milne is concerned first and foremost with the priority of stabilizing a subsection of Precinct 13 compromised by the recent peak in drug trafficking and associated violence. Much to Milne's dismay, the area has been referred to as "Brockton by the Sea" in reference to narcotics and violence. On October 24, gunfire erupted and a triple homicide with no fatalities plagued the area. consider the news accounts and video posted below.

2) Milne admits that there is a tremendous amount of misinformation about the cost of sewer betterments and that he understands the concern of his constituents. Unfortunately a local advocacy group, with three contenders in the election for seats on the Barnstable Town Council took advantage of the controversy and skewed numbers and spread inaccuracies for political gain. These number are being published by COG in regard to the sewer betterment fees that have his constituency concerned:

Betterment fees:

* Lake Wequaquet project: $30,900 in one payment; $1,870 annually spread over 20 years (including 2 percent interest).
* Stewart's Creek project: $20,500 in one payment; $1,240 annually spread over 20 years (including 2 percent interest).

2)Police: Hyannis shooting 'not random'.
By K.C. MYERS
October 24, 2009
HYANNIS – Three young men were injured – one seriously – in an unsolved shooting on Nautical Way early this morning.

A 20- and 21-year-old were taken to Cape Cod Hospital by the Hyannis Fire Department rescue squad, according to police and Hyannis Fire Lt. Thomas Kenney.

As it turned out, perpetual RECALL organizer was not in attendance at any barbeque at the home of Tony Pelletier. Nobody was more shocked to find out that Pelletier was this overbearing woman's alibi that Pelletier, himself. I must admit he was a bit disconcerted. Thoman was bragging of her association with an "influential multimillionaire". Pelletier stated he was none of the above and there was no barbeque and fireworks party on July 4th of 2008.

Taryn Thoman and her sister, Terese Marinelli were at home on Mountain Ash Road developing obscene graphics of then, sitting Barnstable Town Council President, Janet Swain Joakim. The items were traced to Thoman's IP Address by State Trooper Corey Daehlstadt of the Cybercrimes Unit of the Attorney General's Office. Like Pino and Milne, he also referred to Thoman as "sick".

Falmouth, MA 02540

Dear Mr. Segadelli,

Thank you for representing my interests in the matter of the charge of criminal harassment against me filed in the Barnstable District Court in regard to The Barnstable Police Department . You may be aware that I assisted Ms. Taryn Thoman during the effort to recall President Janet Swain Joakim from office. I also collected signatures for the Open Meeting of the Voters held in Hyannis last spring at her request. Ms. Thoman requested my assistance developing a legitimate lobby and political action committee last January. We were introduced through a mutual acquaintance, Lou Gonzaga of Hyannis. Mr. Gonzaga is currently serving as an official constable here in Barnstable and has long been involved in municipal politics.

When Taryn Thoman was charged with criminal harassment, I recommended that she consider retaining your counsel. Ms. Thoman is responsible for developing obscene graphics of President Janet Swain Joakim and forwarding them from her computer terminal to a number of websites. In addition, Ms. Thoman assisted me in the development of my website, www.barnstablesafetynetwork.com. Taryn Thoman knew my passwords and personal data and ran my website on her server and off her website, taryn@tarynsmirror.com. Thoman continues to blame me for harassing a number of parties and continually posts scurrilous comments about me on local blog sites. Please review her current blog postings on local political websites. Clearly you can see from Thoman’s comments that she intends to post controversial and threatening materials in regard to me on her newly constructed website, www.barnstable411.typepad.com . Please be aware that Ms. Thoman has publicly blamed me for developing the disturbing graphics of President Janet Swain Joakim. Ms. Thoman is aware that I was photographing Councilor Greg Milne at the All-America City Parade under her direction and working at 4pm at the Kennedy Gallery on Main Street subsequent to the parade. My employer and co-workers were present and in my company throughout the day. Ms. Thoman stated that she was at a barbecue at the home of Mr. Tony Pelletier of the Hyannis Civic Association and has alleged that I am at fault for continued harassment of Janet Joakim and her neighbors on Mountain Ash Road.

Tony Pelletier denied that Taryn Thoman was invited to his home on the Fourth of July. It is on the fourth that these graphics were developed and emailed to my website. Ms. Thoman has a history of mailing related obscene graphics to members of Barnstable’s blogosphere. Ms. Thoman’s neighbors, Christine and Ron Howell confirm that Taryn Thoman and her sister Therese Marinelli were home all day on the fourth of July.

You defended me in a criminal harassment charge. Your current client, Taryn Thoman is a former associate of mine. Thoman is blaming me for her actions of criminal harassment. You should be aware that there is ongoing convolution of these matters with local and federal law enforcement. Please consider the blog postings placed on an Internet site by your client. Clearly, Ms. Thoman is suggesting that she has information in regard to my court case and is suggesting that she may post such items on a website. I have contacted the Massachusetts Bar Association and filed a complaint. I am unsure as to whether our conversations and matters were covered by attorney client privilege. It seems that Ms. Thoman is suggesting that you have not maintained an agreement of confidentiality and is threatening to post matters on her website.

Is there not a conflict of interest? I have forwarded these documents to Justice William O’Neill of the Barnstable District Court.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Cc. Justice William O’Neill

Here's an image of the police and parents of neighborhood watch cleaning up Sea Street the last time violence erupted in this locale.

Unfortunately, Councilor Milne is considering cancelling his monthly constituents meeting at the Sunnyside Restaurant. The now famous "Milne Coffee Hour" has been a staple of Precinct 13 as Milne meets informally with constituents. Milne has held this event every month for ten years. Controversial bloggers are threatening to storm the meeting in an effort to disrupt and create controversy among Milne's loyal constituents. Milne is not only concerned about the effect of recent problems for his constituents, he is concerned about the family that owns and hosts the event. Milne has so much on his plate, you may end up with nothing on yours at the cancelled Milne Coffee Hour that used to be held at the famous Sunnyside.

Running into both Pino and Milne in the same day? A stroke of good luck! Listening to both of them refer to Taryn Thoman as crazy? Priceless!

The "Tail" of Mountain Ash Road...Welcome to the Jungle!

2009-11-10T16:26:00.000-08:00

Queen of Cloacas, "Taryn of the Toilets" has embarked on a new vendetta, attacking long time associate, Joe Pino. The venerable candidate for Barnstable Town Council seeking to represent Precinct Six lost his bid to unseat the incumbent, Janet Joakim in the November 3rd election. Joe Pino demonstrated remarkable political prowess in falling short of a win, but emerged as a class act. The victorious win of Janet Swain Joakim was hardly commanding, and certainly not a mandate. Maybe after nearly ten years of being married to a husband like Dennis, what Taryn really needs, is a "man date".

Taryn is an aging, sagging, wannabe beauty queen, with meager intelligence, short on style. Financially, morally, and otherwise bankrupt, this status seeking "know nothing" is embarassed by constant failure and defeat. Rather than accept the loss with grace and aplomb, this fool is attacking the group that supported her through the Criminal Harassment charge levied against her after she demonstrated bizarre antics in 2008.

Taryn Thoman is responsible for the failure of the Recall Effort of Joakim. Thoman claimed responsibility for the effort to unseat Janet Joakim from office that same year. Unfortunately, Taryn has little understanding of munipal, state, and national politics. For instance, Thoman once suggested she should approach Al Baker of Marstons Mills to convert him into a COGGER/BLOGGER. Mr. Baker is a senior citizen, prominent member of the community, and council meeting "regular". Taryn Thoman Wilcox, a colossal dunce, is still "smarting" after finishing "just outside of the winner's circle" in the 2007 race for Charter Commission. Apparently, Thoman, with her newfound political ambitions, is unfamiliar with the ubiquitous Al Baker. Thoman simply did not realize it was Al Baker of the Mills who initially suggested it was time for a review of the town charter. How politically savvy can she really be?

Councilor Janet Swain Joakim emerges victorious, partly due to a group of loyal and energetic supporters that provide a strong constituency base. Faithful to the embattled former Barnstable Town Council President, the group has rallied to the side of Joakim her times of need. In the clutch, Joakim has been effective at galvanizing this base to protect her position on the Barnstable Town Council. Thoman is yet to realize the price of her antics last year. I ran into Joe Pino, today. He was headed into the CVS and took a moment to speak to me. He graciously thank me for supporting his efforts. Pino was the consummate and quintessential gentleman. He was pleased with his numbers, and the style of clean campaign. Pino is sensible, with character and decorum.

Pino ran with grassroots support and old fashioned door to door canvassing. He was deferential and polite in regard to Joakim, the victor and wished her well in her last term. Pino emphatically stated he had no interface with Internet personalities, campaigning the old fashioned way. Old Joe has still got it, promoting principles of responsibility and accountability with focus on the issues. Pino referred to Thoman as a "sick woman".

Unfortunately, Taryn has begun to attack Joe Pino and Gary Lopez via the Internet. Thoman is not only signing the names of innocent parties criticizing the website hit prowess of www.capecog.com. Thoman continues to make specious allegations that a former associate committed voter fraud in the November 3rd election. Taryn Thoman reported and claimed illegality with no supporting facts or evidence. Thoman has been seen in Barnstable Town Clerk Linda Hutchenrider's Office. Thoman insisted on speaking with Lucia in regard to her concerns over the results of the recent election. Thoman's allegations now jeopardize the status of the guaranteed recount of the approval of the new charter winning by just one vote.

Taryn Thoman continues to antagonize Gary Lopez, the "Sultan of Statistics" and "Grandaddy of the Bloggers" by suggesting Eric "Bugsy" Schwaab maintains the more informative and politically potent blog. Schwaab has been caught giving "spyware" to a number of IP addresses and demonstrates a cocky, hot temper. Say what you will about website designer, Janet Swain Joakim, she doesn't make a living giving Internet viruses. This issue is under investigation by the Cybercrimes Unit of the Office of the Attorney General.

As usual, Taryn knows nothing of what she speaks. Desperately trying to maintain credibility, she is currently foreclosing on her overpriced dream home. Taryn and her unemployed husband can hardly afford the style of living to which this deadbeat mother aspires. Thoman continues to ignore the needs of her school aged child, Aidan Thoman Wilcox. Thoman focuses instead on a perpetual vindictive battle with the "powers that be". Taryn Thoman has been in a longstanding battle with her neighbors. Ron and Christine Howell grew weary of providing free babysitting services to their disrespectful and arrogant "no-nothing" neighbors.

Taryn made victims out many residents and children of Mountain Ash Road in Marstons Mills. Thoman was outraged after neighbors refused to support Thoman's constant allegations of child molestation by a neighborhood eight year old. Taryn has attempted non-meritorious litigation against neighbors who refused to attack an innocent child. Thoman hired a loser lawyer and put forth a motion for injunctive relief, essentially attempting to force these neighbors out of their home.

Please enjoy the video of the poor wildebeeste, and imagine the relief the neighbors and children of Thoman now enjoy after watching the impotent Dennis and ineffective Thoman squirm in their foreclosing home. The story of the wildebeeste is sad, indeed!

The sad, sad, sorry, story of the wildebeeste...

Charles Darwin said...

Absolutely, Taryn's looking good for it! Most interesting is the alert and happy look on her face! She's quite tan, and needless to say, grazing among the other, expendable, wildebeeste. The story of the wildebeeste is quite sad, indeed. The poor herbivore is meant as fodder on the food chain. It's intended to be sadly, sacrificed. Short legs, heavy in the meaty torso, the wildebeeste choose a weaker specimen to lead the pack from the prowling lioness. Not only is the chosen leader pompous, it isn't very bright! The wildebeeste start intuitively moving as a group, following some poor sucker of specimen until it tires. Slowly the breed begins to move back away from the tiring, often older, beast. Instinctively, they split left and right, sort of like Democrats and Republicans. They leave the poor, worn out, tired, sorry old piece of expendable meat to be devoured by the lioness.

Taryn is the ultimate wildebeeste. Overestimates her prowess, thinks she's ready to lead, but the pack recognizes her feeble, expendable sensibilities. Ripped to shreads by the hungry lioness.

So, friends and neighbors, how are your cubs, these days? Did they get enough to eat? There's plenty of wildebeeste flesh left to feed the entire village of Marstons Mills.

Then again, considering how unsavory of a character Taryn is, I can see why you've resorted to being vegetarians.

One sad reminder...did I mention Dennis is a vegetable?

Here is a sampling of general Thoman stupidity:Accusations of Voter Fraud/Thoman‏

Dear Chief MacDonald. As you can see, there is tremendous angst directed toward me over the blogs. Once again, I certainly respect the First Amendment. I am unsure that accusing a voter of insurance fraud and publishing this over the Internet is lawful. My understanding from law enforcement is that there were complaints by Taryn Thoman's insurance company that three suggested burglaries were an inside job. One of the officers suggested that Thoman was found with items on her person and in her car, after the third supposed break-in.

I'm sorry to hear that Taryn was let get away with insurance fraud. I am not inclined to take responsibility for the actions of Thoman. Unfortunately, for Taryn, and lucky for me, I was hospitalized for ten days and November 3rd is indeed a day of which I was an in-patient. There is no way I could vote illegally in Precinct 13. I am looking to see if Taryn sent someone into vote for charter commission report on that day.

The comments have been traced to Taryn's IP.

I would love to here what lunatic was dubbed Pino's campaign manager! I know an energetic and sincere supporter who hoped for victory, last Tuesday. COG distanced themselves from most lunacy. I always knew Lopez was Pino's manager. Personally, I think Pino had a damn good showing. He closed the gap remarkably since his last two runs.

Damaging Joakim politically is a work in progress. This is her last term. Agreed?
She could worm her way into a well paid hack's position with her "connections" and "experience". Pino's credibility and high favorability rating makes him victorious. Against Joakim, he's the furthest thing from a loser.

Mary Clements is the lunatic "campaign manager".
DUH!

Posted by: you sewer, you brought her | November 07, 2009 at 09:18 PM

Mary Clements was living off Cape, but came down a few days before the election to make calls as Joe's campaign manager, and commit voter fraud by voting in Precinct 13from 75 Pearl Street. She was evicted from that address in August, and has not lived in Barnstable since.

She was at 4C's library telling folks she was Pino's campaign manager, and was asking for help to get around the precinct to knock on doors.
Ask the kids at the front desk at the library, they know all about Mary's obsession with Janet Joakim and her arch enemy from the sewer site.

Posted by: Lizzy | November 07, 2009 at 09:25 PM

Mary Clements is not the lunatic in question. She was not the woman that Joe Pino was confronted about at the precinct 6 polling place on election day.
Gary described the lunatic as being "more then half in the bag", Mary Clements does not drink.

When Mary is off her meds, she sounds like a saucebag.
She screwed up the trial of that recall organizer with her fat stupid mouth, and she promised that she would "personally get rid of Joakim" for Joe Pino.
At the moment she is being investigated for voter fraud.

ONLY 333 AVERAGE PAGE VIEWS? GOOD GOD, EVEN I GET MORE THAN THAT!

ALL THIS TIME I REALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE THE SULTAN OF STATISTICS, AND KING OF ALL BLOGGERS.

CLEARLY ERIC SCHWAAB IS THE BIG DOG IN BLOG TOWN THESE DAYS!

Posted by: Mary Clements | November 10, 2009 at 05:51 AM (Posted by Taryn Thoman)

Mary I the 333 average views are for the four and a half year period I've been writing the blog (1,393 different posts), including the first year and a half when I averaged less than 200 per day. It also includes the cumulative five months that I did not post, but kept the blog open.

If you look at my recent activity,I'm averaging 450 page views per day without comments open.

If I opened comments that number would double because of people logging on two, three, four, and five times a day to read comments, and post their own.

For example if you read Schwaab's crap, you'll see that Rob Anderson comments four and five times a day, and John Julius; two and three times.

With my post there's no reason to log on a second time because nothing has changed.

I've posted 1,400 of the 1,625 days I've been open, and my average page view is based on 1,625.

Each time i quit posting, my page views dropped to 150 per day, which progressively increased after I started posting again.

Over the years many folks have asked me to email my posts because they travel.

As a consequence I email 143 BCC's of each post.

I heard Joe Pino is now lying about aking that Joakim recall lady for copies of all her petitions and voter list from the recall, and says he never asked her to talk to supporters of the recall.

There is some story about a “fake campaign manager” that supposedly started from town hall after he lost the election, and Joakim had nothing to do with it. Sounds more like Lopez.

The guy lost to Joakim three times before. Why is he blaming someone else for losing a 4th time?

I hope the recall organizer comes forward and rats Joe out for using all her info and then blaming her for his loss.

Hang it up Joe. You and Lopez are too old for this game.

Pino’s campaign manager is a woman who works at town hall – it’s supposed to be some big secret, but it’s not. She is the one who started the stupid rumor so Joe could save some face.

After all, how would you like to lose to a low-life like Janet Joakim FOUR TIMES IN A ROW?!!

She said she saw that I’d voted for Joakim’s recall and wanted to know if I’d vote for Pino.

I said no, because Pino is too unpredictable. At least with Joakim, you know exactly how stupid her vote will be every single time.

My wife, son, his wife and I all stayed away from the polls because there was no good choice, again.

Both Joakim and Pino are scumbags. Hopefully the new charter will pass, and we can get some better talent in a few years.

I didn’t expect Pino or Carey to win, but I really thought Anderson had it in the bag.

Rugo is a shameless bigot, who went all over his district telling people sewers would never come to the lake.

If not them, then who? The town has announced they’re adding 5400 customers to town sewer. Who are they going to drive out of town next

Poor Taryn Thoman! Barnstable's New Political Wildebeeste?

2009-11-08T12:26:00.001-08:00

Whoops! She's done it again! Taryn Thoman, and her cloak and dagger antics, not only cost Citizens for Open Government a crucial election; she puts her fat, smelly, foot in her mouth, once again. Thoman has accused "moi" of voter fraud and has forwarded materials to public officials and law enforcement authorities. There is one distinct and crucial vote worthy of consideration. ONE VOTE! For passage of the newly formed, revised Barnstable Town Charter.

Taryn was unaware that I was hospitalized with a lesion to my right shoulder that needed to be excised and drained. Not only have I made four trips to the emergency room of Cape Cod Hospital in the past week, I was hospitalized for a number of reasons. There is no possible way at all for me to have voted in the November 3rd election.

Taryn Thoman is still "smarting" from a commanding loss of the Charter Commission vote. Taryn, technically is still reeeling from her loss in the charter commission race in 2007. Joakim pulled out every dirty stop in the book. She won. That's life, Taryn, get over it!

In a popularity contest, you last five minutes. The names fronting for you on your charter commission papers won't give you the time of day, now. Assistant Manager of the Town of Barnstable is cringing at your latest antic, Tina Carey is hiding her head in the sand, the Chillis are no longer ready and willing to provide "free babysitting", and Taryn, "The Penn" family is ready to cry! I can't even mention your name in the local Burger King.

Here's Taryn Thoman's latest specious threat! Is there no end to this woman's lunacy? Mary has been instructed by insiders in the Joakim camp to visit Barnstable Town Clerk, Linda Hutchenrider's Office with documentation of hospitalization. It is possible that there was one extra vote against the Charter. It appears at this point that Taryn Thoman sent in an imposter to vote in Precinct 13 @ 75 Pearl Street #2.

Good day, Chief!

Here is the latest antic of Taryn Thoman. I could not have possible voted in this election. I was hospitalized at Cape Cod Hospital for a surgical procedure on my right shoulder. I am going to forward any and all documentation from Cape Cod Hospital to indicate that I was receiving heavy doses of antibiotics during the voting hours and remained in the hospital overnight for the following three days.

Thank you.

Still trying to fight the good fight, and win some battles with Housing Assistance Corporation. It's worth the effort. Negligence is negligence. It's time the organization "put up, or shut up"!

Dear Attorney Loucks

Please consider correspondence and documents forwarded to The Office of the Attorney General, Martha Coakley. The materials refer to an ongoing investigation pertaining to negligent human services in the Town of Barnstable. Housing Assistance Corporation and associated agencies harbored a number of sex offenders, convicted felons and habitual narcotics offenders. Attorneys representing this organization planned an $11.5 million dollar farm project complete with two lavish homes for executives. District Attorney Michael O'Keefe and other local law enforcement agents were apprised of the negligent standard for human services and the constant compromise to public safety. The shelter complex in downtown Hyannis provided services to a number of known sex offenders and violent convicted felons and denied any threat to public safety of the organization in proximity to innocent women, men and vulnerable children. Executives of this organization and attorneys representing their interests planned experimental projects and controversial methods for provision of substandard services including liberal administration of narcotics to violent offenders.

Housing Assistance Corporations associated O'Neill and Duffy Clinic follow methods such as "Harm Reduction Theory" developed by Edith Springer and The Housing First Model devised by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and its Office of Policy Development and Research. Unfortunately, a number of rapes and homicides were traced to the organization and associated agencies. Executives and administration of Housing Assistance denied that any convicted felons, chronic and violent addicts and habitual sex offenders were known to this organization. District Attorney Michael O'Keefe not only sat on the Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee, but also accepted campaign contributions from human service providers entrusted with their care. 501C Tax Returns indicate that 94-97% of the organization's revenue is derived from public funds. Documents indicate Housing Assistance Corporation records revenue of $14,500 divided between seven sub-organizations and continued to plan an $11.5 million dollar experimental project without funding to safely organize and develop such a project. O'Keefe sat on the committees that planned these initiatives and was involved with the expansion of negligent services for offenders.

Some of the high profile homicides include the murder of Christa Worthington of Truro, Melissa Gosule of Boston, and Jonathan Wessner of Falmouth. Christopher H. Worthington, Esq. father of the homicide victim in Truro stated that I should consider myself a "material witness" in an ongoing investigation and that I should consider any and all materials relevant. Worthington confided in me that he had close ties to the Office of the Attorney General and connections with former Lieutenant Governor, Kerry Healy. He stated that he would approach the Office of the Attorney General with materials, documents and correspondence. I have enclosed the receipts for certified mail indicating that these materials were received. In addition the materials were forwarded to author Peter Manso and Stone Phillips of NBC Dateline. Seth Rolbein, Editor of The Cape Cod Voice indicates that I was the original source of the article published in the May edition of his magazine featuring an expose on Michael O'Keefe.

Please consider the material enclosed indicating that I was charged with criminal harassment of the Barnstable Police Department and the District Attorney's Office for forwarding extensive materials and controversial correspondence. I was recently evicted from an apartment covered by Section 8 Subsidy after several attempts were made for me to relocate failed and despite evidence indicating that my rent was fully paid. Kim Gomez and Sandra Perry of the Barnstable Housing Authority suggested that former Barnstable Housing Authority Executive Director Tom Lynch and former Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim insisted that I had been "less than grateful" for the housing services provided to me in Barnstable. I was told that the decision to remove my Section 8 Housing Voucher was based on my refusal to cooperate with treatment and comply with regulations put forth by the Section 8 Program.

A number of photographs, court records and documents are placed on a website and blog roll www.welcometobarnstable.com. The items demonstrate the conditions of my recent residences and tenancies in Barnstable. I have enclosed copies of some of the documents that indicate that my life was in jeopardy in these buildings and that I was also concerned because I had been told I was a material witness. A number of documents and materials including videotape, audiotape, photographs and court records and medical records remain in my possession. These materials have been collected over eight years and are too expensive and too extensive to forward. Several parties have offered me compensation for these materials including municipal figures in the Town of Barnstable. I have declined these offers because I was told to consider myself a "material witness". In addition, there were a number of attorneys who already had access to the information and much of the materials are secured on computer hardware in a number of places. Once again, a good amount of items including this correspondence is posted on www.welcometobarnstable.com.

There appears to be a multidisciplinary corruption probe that involves many departments. Some have suggested that there may be substantial evidence of "witness tampering" subsequent to the removal of my housing subsidy. I understand that the Attorney General Martha Coakley is also under investigation over campaign contributions. I have included the records from the Office of Campaign and Political Finance for District Attorney Michael O'Keefe and Senator Robert O'Leary for your review.

Would you look into this matter for me? Thank you for your time and consideration.

Very truly yours,

Mary Clements

Dear Mr. Daly,
Please consider the enclosed computerized disc that provides a video of my removal from the podium at the Barnstable Town Meetings of March 6th and March 21st. As you can see, the sitting Barnstable Town Council President objected to the content of the brief oration that compromised her stature and suggests impropriety on her part. I have enclosed a written text of my comments. There is nothing objectionable in the wording of the short speeches. The sitting Town Council President is objecting due to matters that point to impropriety on her part. Members of a group called Citizens for Open Government placed the film clips of the narrations on YouTube. There was extensive discussion in the media in regard to these events and on Internet websites. The item also generated articles in local news and media outlets.

I have also enclosed the response of my former Precinct Councilor J. Gregory Milne at a subsequent council meeting. Councilor Milne was advised by a number of his constituents and supporters that he should comment on my behalf and challenge the sitting Town Council President. I suggested to him personally that this was not necessary. Unfortunately, the former Barnstable Town Council President is aware of my diagnosis of emotional illness. President Joakim lobbied for expansion of a negligent human service industry despite my objections in 2003. Please refer to her Internet site comments and postings that refer publicly to my “mental illness”. President Joakim has a long history of embarrassing adversaries and publicly humiliating constituents that disagree with her. Not only were my rights to Free Speech violated, but Joakim proceeded to embarrass and humiliate me publicly over the Internet. Councilor Joakim, who narrowly beat an incumbent in the last municipal election threatened to post some of my medical records on her website.

The Barnstable Town Attorney, David Houghton, Esq. once suggested he would settle this matter out of court. Could you look into this for me?

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Removed from the podium twice for comments offensive to the sitting Barnstable Town Council President. Unfortunately, Taryn refers to her own child as a "Kid of Convenience" in several postings with her child's phograph published.

Taryn of the Toilets and Her Ilk! Lost Control of the Town Charter by ONE CRUCIAL VOTE!

2009-11-05T11:35:00.000-08:00

Alas, the Queen of Cloacas, Taryn of the Toilets, has alienated the wrong person. Sure, Taryn Thoman emerged as a world class user...but in the end, she once again, falls short of her aspirations and dreams. Of course, Taryn's dreams are always a nightmare. Aspiration is another word for choking. Yes, choking in the clutch.

ONE LOUSY VOTE, and the COGGERS would have voted down the proposed newly developed, Barnstable Town Charter. No doubt, Taryn Thoman never considered that offending just one person would bring the demise of all efforts put forth by Citizen's for Open Government. Thoman lost control of herself during the recall election and subsequently forfeited her need to dominate with impugnity. Consider the items posted below. Thoman had little understanding of municipal politics and an overwhelming talent at non-meriorious litigation. Unfortunately, Eric Schwaab tagged her as the greatest "HOPE for BARNSTABLE". He hasn't achieved or accomplished one single objective since his memorable WATERLOO with Jim Munafo.

ONE LOUSY VOTE, YOU IDIOTS!

Posted below is the Clerk Magistrate's records of the events that lead to the Criminal Harassment Charge against her. You can see by the narrative posted below that Taryn Thoman is a lot of things. Unfortunately, bright is not one of them.

From the District Court:
0825AC300 THOMAN 9-19-08 (1A)
I called this matter a little after 4pm, no Atty had appeared. I informed Ms. THOMAN that the hearing would proceed with or without counsel-she indicated that Mr. Segadelli had some matters in other courts as well. The hearing began as the courtroom was cleared. All witnesses were sequestered. Sgt. Caido gave a brief overview of the case. A.D.A.E. Connor was also present. A full, complete and extensive hearing was held. Sometime during the hearing the A.D.A. received a call from Mr. Segadelli saying that he would not be coming. He said he had been in his office all afternoon and that although he had spoken to the defendant earlier in the day, he had not been retained.

Christine Howell was the first to testify and gave extensive testimony of various events from August 2008. She gave testimony of various events from August 2005 up till August 2008. She gave testimony about her experiences as well as her husband’s.

0825AC3008 THOMAN 9-19-08 (2A)

Officer Mark Delaney was next to testify. He talked about how he first got involved with the parties (neighbors) back in 2006. He also gave testimony about events he was involved in with the parties.

Based on his testimony and that of Ms. Howell I did not hear from Mr. Howell, believing that his testimony would be duplicitous at this point.

I then allowed Ms. THOMAN to present witnesses. Her first witness was her husband D. Wilcox. He was followed by his old boss, R. HAYES. Mr. Hayes had no direct knowledge of any of the issues before the court. Mr. LOPEZ was her final witness. He also didn’t have much to add other than he believed Ms. THOMAN was responsible for putting a video of Ms. Howell on U-Tube.

Ms.THOMAN was then given the opportunity to speak. At some point during the hearing, I did ask Ms. THOMAN if she was O.K. She said she was, although she would waive a large baggie full of apparent prescriptions in the air every once in a while. In a prior motion she had put forth

0825AC3008 THOMAN 9-19-08 (3A)

that she had immediate medical issues. I asked her several times about them and any doctor’s letters she might have, but she failed to produce anything.

I also asked her if she was on any medication today which would cloud her thinking. She said “no!” I asked her if she was under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs today and she said “No!”

I believe that Ms. THOMAN was a competent witness and I allowed her to continue her testimony.

At the conclusion of all the testimony, about 21/2 hours after it began I was given some additional papers from both Ms. THOMAN and Ms. Howell.

I took all the paperwork and my copius notes along with the file. This matter is “Under Advisement.”

Once Again, Taryn Thoman flopping at the Recall. For your viewing enjoyment!

Dear Mr. Still,

There are significant developments and complications in regard to the current recall effort designed to remove President Janet Swain Joakim from office. You may be aware that a number of attorneys with interests in public safety are examining the convolutions of human services with law enforcement. I have been advised that the information forwarded to multiple parties has proved to be credible. In addition, I have been asked to remain in Barnstable in regard to an ongoing matter.

Parties with interests in public safety are utilizing conventional means to record impropriety in Barnstable. This includes monitoring all communication including Internet and telephone. Unfortunately, recall initiator assistant Taryn Thoman has engaged in gross illegality that included suggestions of “breaking into Joakim’s home and removing her computer system. Thoman was attempting to confirm the identity of the author of www.barnstablebeatblog.com. Ms. Thoman stated that this would be east to do as Joakim does not have the “surveillance cameras” that she does. She suggested that it would be easy to break hire a couple of thugs to break in through a window of Joakim’s home at 206 Donegal Circle. This exchange was recorded. Ms. Thoman abruptly terminated this telephone conversation when I became extremely upset. I emailed her later that day and printed a copy of the correspondence. Thoman emailed me in return and I saved her written response. Taryn Thoman replied that she hoped the conversation was recorded so that “they will stop attacking” her family”. I am sure that you now understand the urgency by which I was trying to establish the identity of TJ. Taryn Thoman suggested that you confirmed that you graduated from Barnstable High School with “TJ” and that he was about your age. Thoman has contacted the school library and has asked to see the photographs of your graduating class. She states that you are forty-one years of age and graduated in 1985. She also suggested that I go in to the school and research this matter. She stated that she would make arrangements.

I noted that Thoman was leaving my name to postings one day from a public computer terminal that she suggested we should use to protect anonymity. I discovered that she registered several sites to my name. She was harassing Janet Joakim and Christine Howell. She insisted on setting my domain name for www.barnstablesafetynetwork.com and retained all of my passwords and security information, and credit card numbers handy. She insisted on obtaining my social security number and stated that she needed it to confirm it to set up my website. Much of the start of my website was done from the Centerville Library. Taryn accompanied me to this library after the memorial for Peter Doiron held on April 5th at the adjacent church. Thoman insisted that her life was in danger and her blogging efforts were to protect her health, welfare and safety as she attempted the recall of President Janet Swain Joakim. She also suggested that my health, welfare and safety were also endangered because of the “hostilities created” by President Joakim.

Ms. Thoman set up my email accounts and retained the passwords. She insisted on asking me each time I changed my password to confide what the new password was so she could work on my site. She was reading my email and posting onto the site with passwords and information she retained in her possession. Last Sunday night, I noticed that the passwords kept changing on my email site. Thoman was reading the email and changing the passwords with the data provided when she set up the account. My sister logged onto my blog and discovered that the blog and moved to a “registered only” viewer site. She changed the information on my email account so that I cannot access my email. Thoman had previously floated disturbing and obscene graphics onto my site and stated that I should post them. She claimed Seth Rolbein of the Cape Cod Voice emailed them to her and that they were being floated around as a joke. Thoman suggested that Rolbein stole her satire ideas for the graphic of Michael O’Keefe used on the cover of his magazine, after the outstanding job she had done on the Osama Bin Laden graphic. As you know, Taryn was one of the bloggers featured in a past issue of the Voice. I contacted the Cybercrimes Unit of the Attorney General’s Office and reported the offensive graphics to Trooper Corey Daelhstadt. I also forwarded them to Chief Paul MacDonald and gave Daelhstadt the contact number for Ruth Weil’s Office.

Arlene Crosby of the Duffy Clinic reviewed the graphics with me and expressed how disturbing they were to her. My younger sister viewed them and stated that Thoman must be sick. She transferred them to my family’s desktop so they could be forwarded to my family’s attorney. President Janet Joakim was forewarned that disturbing graphics were being floated around the Internet. Thoman suggested that I use this to gain support for Joakim’s inability to negotiate and her reneging on her promise to meet and discuss the topics maturely. Much of the scurrilous libel of me was precipitated by Joakim.

Ms. Taryn Thoman had me collect the majority of the signatures for both “Open Meeting” and the Recall effort. At times, she was extremely aggressive and did shove the clipboard in the face of an elderly lady, left, and went to the car. The elderly woman’s daughter had “power of attorney” and happened to call while Thoman and I were at the door. The elderly woman forgot about the clipboard while she was talking to her daughter. She finally signed after stating she was blind. I suggested to Thoman that we remove this signature. She refused.

Ms. Thoman was shaking and intimidated by you at one point, stating that you had accused her of harassing Joakim. I assumed as much fault and blame as possible, as Thoman kept claiming her child was being harmed by these events. I recall writing to you and claiming responsibility for Joakim’s actions.
I told Trooper Daehlstadt of the Attorney General’s Office that I would not turn on Thoman as she is obviously a distressed mother. I reviewed the comments posted on www.sevenvillagesblog.com last February and saved President Joakim’s site on removable hardware before she was told to sanitize it. I saved and printed my own website and have made multiple copies of the site.

Taryn Thoman completely collapsed my website on Monday morning without my permission or knowledge. I have contacted the Cybercrimes Unit of the Attorney General’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in relation to my concerns regarding Thoman.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Taryn admitted on July 17, 2008, that the allegation she made of children in her neighborhood harassing, bullying and molesting her son were false. Thoman had ingested substantial amount of liquor, telephoned Jeannette Chilli, wife of Joe Chilli to transport her child home from an evening babysitting, and told me she was going home to have Dennis "cook up" something for her. She also admitted that the litigation against her neighbors, Christine and Ron Howell was done out of retaliation for their refusal to cooperate in an accusation against an eight year old neighbor.

...and folks, Taryn Thoman is the pure reason COG fell short in all of their initiatives.

Taryn's Parenting? In the Toilet!

2009-10-26T10:32:00.000-07:00

Enclosed are materials in regard to Taryn Thoman, Dennis Wilcox, and the quality of parenting of their son, Aidan Thoman Wilcox. Taryn Thoman became involved with the recall effort of former Barnstable Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim. I was introduced to Taryn Thoman through Lou Gonzaga, a political activist and mutual acquaintance. Through Taryn Thoman, I was recruited by Citizens for Open Government for a number of initiatives including the well-publicized "Open Meeting of the Voters" and the Recall Effort of President Joakim.

There are a number of issues with the current sitting Barnstable Town Councilor of Precinct Six including the convolution of negligent human services provided by Housing Assistance Corporation, law enforcement and campaign contributions received by public officials. The organization houses a number of convicted felons and sex offenders in proximity to schools and daycare centers. Substandard services have compromised the health, welfare, and safety of vulnerable youth and innocent children. I was interested in resolving some of these problems and agreed to assist with the removal of President Janet Joakim.

Taryn Thoman initially presented herself as a concerned activist whose family was "destroyed" by the malicious and politically vindictive actions of President Janet Swain Joakim. Thoman had campaigned unsuccessfully for charter commission, finishing "just outside the winners circle" according The Barnstable Patriot. Thoman claimed she was professionally and politically ruined by both Janet Joakim and her neighbor, Christine Howell of Marstons Mills. Taryn Thoman's most pressing complaint was a reference to her child as a "kid of convenience" by adversaries posted on a political website published by President Janet Swain Joakim. Thoman suggested that she was emotionally and psychologically harmed such that she would never recover.

During my eight month effort to unseat President Janet Swain Joakim from office, Taryn Thoman confided a number of matters that I held in confidence. Thoman spoke openly about former narcotics use and participation in drug trafficking, driving while intoxicated, and problems with anger management and temper control. She stated both she and her husband had sought counseling to control their tempers. I held these confidences until it became apparent that both Aidan and neighborhood children may be in jeopardy because of her erratic behavior and bizarre antics.

During the course of the Recall Effort, Taryn Thoman claimed to have substantial footage of a neighborhood child molesting her son, evidence of neglect and abuse of neighborhood children by their parents, and stated she had to set up expensive video surveillance system on the perimeter of her home to collect such evidence and protect herself from allegations. Thoman had appeared several times in court to make criminal complaints against her neighbors and pursue litigation against them. The effort included suing for injunctive relief to force the neighbors to move from their home. Taryn Thoman and Dennis Wilcox made five unfounded complaints to the Department of Social Services about her neighbors, Ron and Christine Howell. The Howell family had to hire an attorney to keep their home.

I have enclosed all of the documents involved that led to the charge of criminal harassment against them and the charge of criminal harassment brought against Taryn Thoman by the District Attorney involving the Howell family in August of 2008. I have also included the charge of Assault and Battery brought against her husband in the Barnstable District Court in late August of 2008.

I withdrew all support for the recall effort and ceased all contact with Taryn Thoman when Thoman finally confided that her son was indeed, never molested by Tyler Varnum, her neighbor's child, nor did she have any footage of Ron Howell molesting or abusing his children nor evidence of his wife driving recklessly and driving to endanger. Thoman had also made a number of outrageous claims and accusations including an accusation that Christine Howell strew used needles and syringes in her yard in an effort to frame Thoman for erratic behavior. Thoman later admitted that she pilfered medical supplies from the supply closet at Ohio State University where her sister works. Terese Marinelli is a Research Coordinator and Administrative Assistant in the Endocrinology Research Laboratory and Clinic at Ohio State. Marinelli was instrumental in making specious allegations against Christine Howell and forwarded materials to formulate a complaint against the license of Christine Howell. The complaints and documents are enclosed.

Taryn Thoman did demonstrate active alcohol and narcotics abuse in the final phase of the recall effort. Thoman suggested that both she and her husband manufactured and used narcotics on the evening of Aug…after the submission of the initial affidavit. Subsequently, Thoman admitted that the allegations against the Howell and Varnum families were false. It was at that time that Thoman threatened me, my family and my employment on August 30, 2008. Thoman stated she would accuse me of heinous and atrocious acts for financial gain. I severed all ties with Thoman at that time. It has come to my attention that Taryn Thoman is escalating with cyber harassment, bullying, and formulating intimidating Internet communications, once again, causing concern.

Congratulations to Chief Paul MacDonald of Barnstable! What a Contract!

2009-10-24T08:14:00.000-07:00

by David Still, II, Editor. Reprinted from The Barnstable Patriot
With the expected approval of the town council at its Oct. 15 meeting, Barnstable Police Chief Paul MacDonald will have something he never did before: a contract.

Town Manager John Klimm reached a three-year agreement with the chief, which needs ratification by the council. MacDonald has served as chief, first as interim, then as permanent, since the departure of John Finnegan in Nov. 2006. The position was then shifted out of civil service to that of a contract employee. Klimm said Tuesday that the chief has been an employee at will since that time.

Both Klimm and council president Fred Chirigotis offered praise for the work done by MacDonald in his time as chief.

Mr. Christopher H Worthington
187 Downer Avenue
Hingham, MA

Dear Mr. Worthington,

Enclosed are some documents that pertain to Housing Assistance Corporation of Hyannis and criminal activity related to the negligent operation of this substandard human service organization. The shelter system in Hyannis promotes an atmosphere of tolerance for criminal offenders and attracts drug addicts and convicted felons to the vicinity and greater Cape Cod region. Christopher McCowan frequented the area and was often seen with local drug dealers and addicts in associated crack houses. Many of these individuals are well known to local law enforcement and have been prosecuted by District Attorney Mr. Michael O’Keefe’s Office.

For the past three years I have followed the tragedy that claimed the life of your daughter. Your family has suffered a terrible loss and I cannot begin to understand the anger that you must feel not only toward the perpetrator but also those entrusted to protect the innocent and insure public safety. Mr. O’Keefe’s Office was consistently made aware of the problems created by narcotics trafficking and convicted felons with violent criminal pasts living in the area and local law enforcement did respond with increased vigilance when I lived researching this organization in a known crack house. The Officers of the Barnstable Police Department interfaced with McCowan and his friends constantly at 72 North Street, Hyannis. Unfortunately, we did not know we were harboring Mr. McCowan at Kendrick’s/North Street, Hyannis.

I recognized Mr. McCowan from my building as did two other residents and a known local drug dealer, all of us known to a local human service organization that caters to criminal offenders. Ms. Arlene Crosby, a reliable source who serves as the Housing Placement Specialist at the NOAH Shelter confirmed that McCowan was known to the area and that a colleague named Bernice Phillips had placed him at his rooming house on Lafrance Avenue. Ms. Phillips also places clients at the rooming house across the street from NOAH. Photographs of the general decadence in the area and narcotics use in the pictures that accompany these materials demonstrate public safety problems created by this organization.

When Housing Assistance Corporation made an attempt to expand shelter operations by procuring the Mildred’s Chowder House, the District Attorney went on record suggesting that the residents of Barnstable show “a little deference” to the “disparate elements” of the community. The Chief of Police in Barnstable negotiated a twenty-thousand dollar pay increase annually in a six-year contract to sign-off on the project. He instructed his public relations agent to handle questions on public safety. Chief Finnegan failed to attend the crucial meetings on expansion of the project and negotiated the pay raise with the assistance of Town Councilor Royden Richardson. Councilor Richardson was on the Board of Trustees of the Salvation Army with Chief Finnegan. He also is a trustee of Community Action Committee and was the representative of the Town Council who established the Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee.

At the expansion meetings, Mr. Rick Presbrey, CEO of Housing Assistance Corporation insisted that 72 North Street, frequented by McCowan was not a crack house. He also insisted that there were no known criminal offenders known to The NOAH Shelter. He stated that Chief John Finnegan would categorically deny that any known offenders were known to NOAH. Since August of 2003, seven violent offenders were tracked to the NOAH Shelter and three more to the immediate area after the killing of young Jonathan Wessner of Falmouth. Mr. Presbrey referred to me as “irresponsible” for suggesting that NOAH and the surrounding areas are unsafe. Mr. Presbrey was sponsoring the controversial “Dana’s Field’s Farm” and intended to screen all offenders from the applicant pool and place violent offenders in an expanded facility across from the Raddison Hotel in Hyannis. There is an associated health clinic that liberally prescribes narcotics to offenders and this is across the street from one of the crack houses that McCowan frequented here in Hyannis.

I hope during preparation for the upcoming trial that you could ask the District Attorney to take a more conservative approach to the shelter in downtown Hyannis. I am sure that Mr. O’Keefe did not intend to suggest deference to sex offenders such as Christopher McCowan or his cohort Perry Bell. At the Town of Sandwich Zoning Board of Appeals, Mr. Michael Princi, Esq. representing Housing Assistance Corporation for Dana’s Fields insinuated that he had made a significant contribution to Mr. O’Keefe and that he was owed favors by the District Attorney. I am also convinced that Mr. O’Keefe did not intend to have Housing Assistance Corporation or its attorney boasting that it had such clout with $525 in campaign contributions. Nevertheless, attorneys with whom I have spoken who have background with RICO believe there is some form of influence peddling in regard to the Chief of Police. He did indeed accept a $120,000 windfall salary increase over six years to instruct his media relations agent to sign off on the initiative that would have expanded negligent services to individuals like McCowan.

Chief John Finnegan was made aware of the difficulty with criminal offenders at NOAH well before he instructed his public relations agent to support the expansion of the organization providing negligent services to offenders. The salary increase and new contract were negotiated during the Barnstable Human Services efforts at the Barnstable Airport Commission and Mr. Presbrey invoked the Chief’s name several times in his attempts to assuage abutting residents of the “Mildred’s Chowder House” of their concern for safety issues.

I have forwarded this correspondence and materials to the families of other victims of crimes by perpetrators known to The NOAH Shelter/Housing Assistance Corporation. As with the other victims, your family and in particular your granddaughter are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Why Mr. President Barack Obama! Welcome to the Hub of Terrorism!

2009-10-23T11:46:00.000-07:00

Rasmussen quotes that a mere 26% of voters strongly approve of the job your doing. 39% strongly disapprove of your performance. Gallup indicates a 9% drop in your approval ratings for job performance, the largest ever for an elected president at this quarter in your term.

An Independent Report on the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction indicates that the American Military with Obama as Commander in Chief have not made sufficient efforts to keep up with capabilities on bioterrorism, there is increasing tension in the Mid-East, the department of defense is asking for deployment of increased troops to Afghanistan, employment is at 9.6% and the public option for the universal health care coverage is ailing and suffered a serious setback.

Ignore the naysayers! Perry and Marvin still love 'ya!

Consider the correspondence and comments posted below comparing the global war on terrorism with the municipal battle of the local political nitwits. Accidental Politician Janet Swain Joakim and Accidental Activist Taryn Thoman are currently engaged in another political pissing contest, aptly over the cost of sewering and taxing toilets.

Councilor Janet Joakim of Centerville and Councilor Janice Barton of Marstons Mills lobbied for the expansion of negligent care and increased funding for substandard delivery of human services that compromise, welfare and safety of innocent children in downtown Hyannis and greater Barnstable. Roy Richardson, father-in-law of Barnstable Town Council President Fred Chirigotis organized an effort to relocate the local homeless shelter and clinic across from The Radisson Hotel, owned by real estate mogul, Stuart Bornstein. Housing Assistance Corporation lobbied simultaneously for funding for an 11.5 million dollar experimental farm project for criminal offenders in the neighboring town of Sandwich. The project that would exclude the majority of clientele boasted of two $589,000 homes on site for executives. Livia Davis, MSW approached Senator Ted Kennedy for funding of the project. She intended to leave the majority of convicted felons and violent narcotics addicts within two miles of the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port.

Taryn Thoman and Janet Joakim remain loyal to liberal factions of the Democratic Party. They are both former supporters of your former rival and current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. As you know, Clinton is now more popular than you are, with approval ratings on job performance as high as 60%.

Dear Bob,

I have spent nearly everything I have on a "room with a view" at an Inn in Onset. I will probably need to leave by Monday, as I have spent everything I have for the month. You mentioned that you would help me sign up for emergency services. Monday's date is October 26, 2009. I will be in Barnstable in the midmorning and I am hoping to get a chance to speak with you. You suggested that I make an appointment. Would 12:00 be agreed?

I have enclosed two more pieces of correspondence for your review. I was hoping that you might get someone to review the issues that pertain to my Section 8 Housing Voucher. Kim Gomez of the Barnstable Housing Authority suggested that former President Janet Swain Joakim was instrumental in the removal of the subsidy. She suggested that I wasn't sufficiently "grateful" for the services provided in Barnstable. She also mentioned that Assistant Town Manager Tom Lynch was aware of the decision and that items regarding impropriety brought to his attention had become difficult for him while he was the Executive Director of the Barnstable Housing Authority.

Tom Lynch signed the charter commission paperwork for Taryn Thoman. Thoman was charged with criminal harassment during the recall effort of Janet Joakim. I assisted Thoman with the recall effort until matters came to my attention regarding the behavior and intentions of Recall Organizer Taryn Thoman made it impossible to me continue with the effort. I had been told that I was a material witness to problems related to Housing Assistance Corporation and that Joakim and Lynch may have tampered with a material witness.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Mary

Deval, We heard that the fundraiser isn't sold out and that there are a good number of desirable seats left. Any chance of the homeless and their ilk getting a late invite?

If it isn't one terrorist, it's another! Correspondence, criminal records, photographs, court documents and other materials have been forwarded to US Attorney Michael Loucks in regard to an ongoing investigation into the human service establishment in Barnstable County and its convolution with public officials and law enforcement agents. At this point, it isn't known whether Attorney Michael Loucks will have an opportunity to review the documents himself, or pass the obligation to a staff member or any other assistant attorney. A number of public officials, including Councilor Janet Swain Joakim of Precinct Six and Activist and Lobbyist Taryn Thoman have considered items related to corruption, malfeasance and mismanagement of this magnitude "imaginary".

Interesting in what now must be "A Woman's Nation", few political figures at any level are willing to admit the truth about illegality and impropriety. Women's issues and women's aspirations are now dominant and paramount, while the greater good takes a backseat to personal, professional and political advancement.

Hopefully, the Janet Joakims, Taryn Thomans, Martha Coakleys, Maria Shrivers and Jenna Bush Hagers of the world are not creating a society of mysogynists out of our progeny.

Dear Attorney Loucks

Please consider correspondence and materials forwarded to The Office of the Attorney General, Martha Coakley in reference to an ongoing investigation pertaining to negligent human services in the Town of Barnstable. Housing Assistance Corporation and associated agencies harbored a number of sex offenders, convicted felons and habitual narcotics offenders. Attorneys representing this organization planned an $11.5 million dollar farm project complete with two lavish homes for executives. District Attorney Michael O'Keefe and other local law enforcement agents were apprised of the negligent standard for human services and the constant compromise to public safety. The shelter complex in downtown Hyannis provided services to a number of known sex offenders and violent convicted felons and denied any threat to public safety of the organization in proximity to innocent women, men and vulnerable children. Executives of this organization and attorneys representing their interests planned experimental projects and controversial methods for provision of substandard services including liberal administration of narcotics to violent offenders.

Housing Assistance Corporations associated O'Neill and Duffy Clinic follow methods such as "Harm Reduction Theory" developed by Edith Springer and The Housing First Model devised by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and its Office of Policy Development and Research. Unfortunately, a number of rapes and homicides were traced to the organization and associated agencies. Executives and administration of Housing Assistance denied that any convicted felons, chronic and violent addicts and habitual sex offenders were known to this organization. District Attorney Michael O'Keefe not only sat on the Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee, but also accepted campaign contributions from human service providers entrusted with their care. 501C Tax Returns indicate that 94-97% of the organization's revenue is derived from public funds. Documents indicate Housing Assistance Corporation records revenue of $14,500 divided between seven sub-organizations and continued to plan an $11.5 million dollar experimental project without funding to safely organize and develop such a project. O'Keefe sat on the committees that planned these initiatives and was involved with the expansion of negligent services for offenders.

Some of the high profile homicides include the murder of Christa Worthington of Truro, Melissa Gosule of Boston, and Jonathan Wessner of Falmouth. Christopher H. Worthington, Esq. father of the homicide victim in Truro stated that I should consider myself a "material witness" in an ongoing investigation and that I should consider any and all materials relevant. Worthington confided in me that he had close ties to the Office of the Attorney General and connections with former Lieutenant Governor, Kerry Healy. He stated that he would approach the Office of the Attorney General with materials, documents and correspondence. I have enclosed the receipts for certified mail indicating that these materials were received. In addition the materials were forwarded to author Peter Manso and Stone Phillips of NBC Dateline. Seth Rolbein, Editor of The Cape Cod Voice indicates that I was the original source of the article published in the May edition of his magazine featuring an expose on Michael O'Keefe.

Please consider the material enclosed indicating that I was charged with criminal harassment of the Barnstable Police Department and the District Attorney's Office for forwarding extensive materials and controversial correspondence. I was recently evicted from an apartment covered by Section 8 Subsidy after several attempts were made for me to relocate failed and despite evidence indicating that my rent was fully paid. Kim Gomez and Sandra Perry of the Barnstable Housing Authority suggested that former Barnstable Housing Authority Executive Director Tom Lynch and former Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim insisted that I had been "less than grateful" for the housing services provided to me in Barnstable. I was told that the decision to remove my Section 8 Housing Voucher was based on my refusal to cooperate with treatment and comply with regulations put forth by the Section 8 Program.

A number of photographs, court records and documents are placed on a website and blog roll www.welcometobarnstable.com. The items demonstrate the conditions of my recent residences and tenancies in Barnstable. I have enclosed copies of some of the documents that indicate that my life was in jeopardy in these buildings and that I was also concerned because I had been told I was a material witness. A number of documents and materials including videotape, audiotape, photographs and court records and medical records remain in my possession. These materials have been collected over eight years and are too expensive and too extensive to forward. Several parties have offered me compensation for these materials including municipal figures in the Town of Barnstable. I have declined these offers because I was told to consider myself a "material witness". In addition, there were a number of attorneys who already had access to the information and much of the materials are secured on computer hardware in a number of places. Once again, a good amount of items including this correspondence is posted on www.welcometobarnstable.com.

There appears to be a multidisciplinary corruption probe that involves many departments. Some have suggested that there may be substantial evidence of "witness tampering" subsequent to the removal of my housing subsidy. I understand that the Attorney General Martha Coakley is also under investigation over campaign contributions. I have included the records from the Office of Campaign and Political Finance for District Attorney Michael O'Keefe and Senator Robert O'Leary for your review.

Would you look into this matter for me? Thank you for your time and consideration.

Very truly yours,

Mary Clements

Larry has/had dual citizenship with Israel and was involved in a plot to sell weapons to Palestinians as far back as 1990. Sally Roth, MD. of the Children's Hospital in Boston and State Trooper Corey Daehlstat of the current Attorney General's Office mentioned that they were "not allowed to even mention the name of Larry Hardoon.

You are also in receipt of a complaint forwarded via Gary Lopez of Citizen's for Open Government on my behalf in regard to the open denial of my First Amendment Rights on two separate occasions at public meetings in the Town of Barnstable. I did speak to State Trooper Corey Daelstadt of the Cyber crimes Unit of your office in regard to the vitriolic nature of blogging, graphic items developed by Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills and comments made about me by of President Janet Joakim and her supporters that violated standards for decency.

Did you suspend any effort to investigate Housing Assistance Corporation and related agencies that resulted into the rape and death of multiple victims in Barnstable County during your senatorial campaign? I was informed that I was a material witness in an ongoing investigation that involves a number of high profile homicides including the murder of Christa Worthington of Truro.

Apparently, former Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim really believes that the First Amendment is only guaranteed to her, her children, and her ilk!

Pino v. Pinnochio!

2009-10-21T11:18:00.001-07:00

Political debates are intended to define the platform and political prowess of electable candidates. Each and every viable runner vying for an elected position has an opportunity and obligation to present their objectives and goals. The viewing public is most often looking to develop an understanding of the candidates political agenda, personal attributes, and points that demonstrate quality of character.

Monday's political debate between sitting Councilor Janet Swain Joakim and challenger Joe Pino leaves the viewer confounded. The debate aired on local cable on October 19, 2009 lacked the intensity of argument of more publicized political races, however the showing between these two candidates indicates the poor quality and low standard of Barnstable's current municipal leaders.

Joe Pino, challenger for the precinct councilor seat in the sixth remained succinct and at times terse, but remained relaxed, direct and remarkably informed. Apprised of accurate current figures, armed with statistics and reliable numbers, Pino provided a comprehensive plan for municipal improvement.

Unfortunately, Janet Swain Joakim resorted to her usual prevarication and typical deception by blatantly denying her concerns over $150,000 in betterment fees exacted in the current effort to sewer the Stewart's Creek area under consideration. Joakim proceeded to claim credit for increased consideration of Barnstable's Public Schools and funding initiatives for charter schools. Funding for such charter school initiatives were secured by her rival, who formerly held her seat. Pino achieved these initiatives prior to her challenge for his seat in 2001.

Janet Joakim then reaches below the bar by introducing the efforts of the blogosphere expecting "guilt by association". Joakim expects guilt for "vitriolic blogging" to be assumed by her rival candadate, a gentleman of vintage and wisdom who hardly understands the crucial difference beteween a cursor, a mouse, and a rodent.

A number of qualified and accomplished candidates are challenging sitting members of the Barnstable Town Council. No municipal leader ignites the mercurial personalities of her critics. Joakim is not only the thermometer for the preverbial "heat in the kitchen" but the barometer of all that is wrong with Barnstable. Accountablility, responsibility, and direction should not be determined by the whimsical weather of "Ole Cape Cod", politically or otherwise.

Navigation through the rough and murky waters has been less than smooth sailing for far to long. Barnstable has a lot to loose in difficult economic times, and Centerville has a lot to gain by considering a venerable, experienced candidate like Joe Pino for Councilor in Precinct Six.

It's time for a more seasoned captain to take the helm.

A Woman's Nation? Maybe That's the Problem!

2009-10-20T11:23:00.000-07:00

Do you know who I am? I could be Maria, Caroline, Hillary, Taryn, or the Barnstable Town Councilor from Precinct Six, Janet Swain Joakim! It's a woman's nation! Discussion, dialogue, and discourse perpetually revolves around "shifting" roles and responsibilities. In Barnstable Municipal and County politics, it's about "shifting" responsibility, fault and blame!

If you think you know who I am, then "do as I say, not as I do..."!

Speaking of the Camelot factor and the perversity of the Kennedy mystique...

Janet Swain Joakim of Centerville is the former Barnstable Town Council President and is the incumbent candidate campaigning for Councilor of Precinct Six. Joakim, like Shriver, has been caught on a number of occasions directing the populace to follow her directives, rules, suggestions, instructions, and orders. Janet Joakim's desire to wield power with her own brand of threats and intimidation thrives despite her support of the proverbial, double standard. Less funded, and hardly a stylish competitor for the journalistic icon, Janet Joakim expects voters and constituents to respect and defer to her agenda and judgment.

Like Maria Shriver, Janet Joakim's double standard crosses more than the double line. The health, welfare and safety of innocent parties, including vulnerable men, women and children. Janet Joakim is caught prevaricating and deceiving the unsuspecting general public in Monday nights debate with Candidate Joe Pino. On October 19, 2009, former Barnstable Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim debates past President Joe Pino. The effort served to not only to generate ideas and develop reasonable strategies for improvement.

Unfortunately, President Janet Joakim is caught red-handed in a number of lies, deception and prevarication that exemplifies the poor standard for municipal politicians; the low standard correlates with the poor quality of life for residents and constituents.

Consider the video clip posted of Janet Swain's colossal lie regarding her expectation of $150,000 tax betterments for the Stewart's Creek residents, constituents of a neighboring village. Janet Joakim also reneges on an agreement to support the split-tax with her own constituents. Joe Pino was a solid supporter of the initiative that provides a separate tax classification for residents and and commercial businesses. Pino is the pinnacle of fiscal responsibility. Joakim continues to mismanage funds, initiatives and

Lastly, Janet Joakim claims harassment and intimidation after attacking constituents and adversaries via her own personal blog. Joakim and her supporters maintain an extensive track record for maliciously maligning innocent parties via the Internet. Janet Joakim has yet to assume responsibility for supporting expansion and funding for Housing Assistance Corporation in 2003. Joakim spoke openly before the Barnstable Airport Commission for expansion of this negligent and substandard organization providing medical, treatment and housing services to convicted felons, habitual narcotics addicts and sex offenders.

Good Evening Madam President and Members of the Barnstable Town Council:

The effort to improve the quality of life and sustainability is a noble goal. I now have reservations concerning the sincerity and honest of this endeavor. Although creating a perception that Barnstable is truly the All-America City has been paramount, reality demonstrates that policy toward youth and children has reached an abysmal standard.

With the principle of Open Government, it is no longer possible to minimize the impact of failed social policy. Barnstable, Massachusetts remains a center for policy development for the Democratic Party. Many have suggested that the party needs to move to the center to attract independents, conservative Democrats and the business oriented. This may be true, but the work done on a national level by local democratic figures has greatly advanced a number of special interests. These causes include care and services of the homeless, advancement of universal health care, education reform, palliative and innovative treatment of criminal offenders and most importantly, development of social policy for children.

It is obvious with the mutiny of revered and venerable members of our community that have generously and tirelessly devoted time and energy to the improvement of the standard for living that there are a substantial problems with leadership in Barnstable. I was asked to state publicly that the contributions of members of committees and boards in particular the ZBA are acknowledged and greatly appreciated. This is the official statement of Citizens for Open Government. I was directed to deliver this remark by one Mr. Gary Lopez. Sr and I can reassure you he is sincere...

Madam President, it is obvious that your are not fit to continue “serving” in the role of President of the Barnstable Town Council and your tendency to self-promote and preserve only your self-interest renders you unable to effectively represent your constituents. This includes innocent vulnerable children that live at risk because of impropriety.

In the interests of the children of this community and on their behalf, Citizens for Open Government is demanding your immediate resignation and dismissal.

Welcome to Beautiful Downtown Hyannis!

The Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee was formed in 2001 to analyze problems with the human services industry, including the quality of services at the NOAH Shelter, adjacent Chase Sober House, and The O'Neill/Duffy Clinic providing medical and psychiatric services for the homeless. Under the tenure of Royden Richardson, it was established that a number of clinics and agencies were providing substandard and negligent care and services to convicted felons, habitual narcotics addicts and sex offenders.

The organizations and agencies involved continued to plan a number of extravagant projects an expand negligent care and services to bigger facilities in both downtown Hyannis and neighboring towns on Cape Cod. The committee now includes a number of organizations, agencies and departments, and his headed by liaison, Barnstable Town Cuncilor Janice Barton. The problem has now extended to a number of municipal agencies including the Barnstable Housing Authority and The Barnstable Police Department. Chief Paul MacDonald was hired with reservations after the abrupt dismissal of Chief John Finnegan.

Both MacDonald and Finnegan were found taking vacation trips and jaunts to Florida at taxpayer expense. After an audit peformed by an outside accountant and Mark Milne, Barnstable Chief Financial Officer, it was uncovered that these funds came from the informant slush monies that were meant to be paid to people who do the police department's dirty work. People like me!

New Bedford, MA 02740

Dear Ms. Faustino,

I am currently looking to move my Section 8 Housing Voucher back to The New Bedford Area. My understanding is that the Barnstable Housing Authority administers my Housing Voucher but New Bedford originally awarded me the Section 8 when I became homeless through no fault of my own in 2001.

I have had continued difficulty here in Barnstable with immersion into narcotics infested community and I have worked well with Federal Authorities in regard to public safety in this jurisdiction. There was a lot of difficulty with narcotics trafficking in the former building where I made my residence and my accounts of violence were disputed as “imaginary” and “delusional”. The building was monitored by the DEA and I was participatory in collecting materials and evidence that supports my claim that the local human service establishments here in Barnstable were operating at a negligent standard and public safety was seriously compromised. The allegations implicate local law enforcement and The District Attorney’s Office.

Unfortunately, my own safety has been severely compromised and Judge Donald Carpenter of The Barnstable District Court stated openly and on the record that he could not “guarantee” my safety here in Barnstable. There are significant problems with law enforcement and I am now considered a witness to illegality and corruption thought once to be “imaginary”. I have asked that I be moved to a secure location without having to leave a forwarding address to parties here in Barnstable. I have spoken with an attorney, J. Drew Segadelli in this matter. Kim Gomez of The Barnstable Housing Authority informed me that I could not take my Housing Voucher according to customary protocol and seek a new apartment. She is aware of incidents that I have witnessed here in Barnstable.

I am informing you of my intent to leave Barnstable County and relocate to a safer area without any more interference or further compromise to my personal safety.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Here's the gang, and yes, that's Councilor Janice Barton, hiding in the back!

Consider a repost of a letter placed below in regard to the efforts of Taryn Thoman, Recall Organizer of President Janet Swain Joakim and current organizer of the efforts against Greg Milne of Precinct 13. Milne represents constituents in the Stewart's Creek locale and the prospect of town-wide sewering and cost of betterment is now a hot button issue for this incompetent woman. Although many had doubts and suspicions over the integrity and intent of Thoman, she was afforded the benefit of the doubt during the efforts regarding Open Meeting of the Voters and the Recall Effort of Joakim in 2008.

Janet Joakim faced substantial and significant challenge from the growing lobby group, Citizens for Open Government. Unfortunately, Taryn Thoman's underhanded antics resulted in the demise of the recall effort. Currently, municipal candidates and their supporters are accused of the annual adventure of political sign stealing.

Some have left Barnstable for bigger and better things, like enjoying life and pursuing justice from afar. Thoman continues to organize and galvanize failed efforts as a political nobody.

Taryn Thoman was charged with criminal harassment in November of 2008. If Thoman hadn't provided the opposition with substantial fodder, she would have been considered credible, and Joakim would have been either asked to resign by her co-councilors or subsequently recalled.

Unfortunately, Thoman continues to make a mockery over municipal politics in Barnstable, jeopardizes the election of new and exciting candidates, and continues to ignore her school-aged child. Thoman was the furthest thing from a child advocate.

Dear Ms. Thoman,

Please consider a sampling of the many pictures, correspondence, and complaints I have made over the past seven years in regard to public safety. I am tremendously sympathetic toward the compromise to Aidan’s health and well being. I appreciate the trust and faith that you had in me. Confiding intimate and personal details of such traumatic events can be disarming for anyone. I’m so hoping for an improvement in the standard for safety that you demand for all children.

I am impressed with your commitment to resolve matters pertaining to child health and welfare and I hope you will continue to make this an integral part of your future plans. I see great promise for you as an advocate for children’s rights. I wish you the best of luck.

Yours truly,

Mary Clements

Dear Mr. Segadelli

Materials pertinent to the investigation of Taryn Thoman have been forwarded to local law enforcement and federal authorities. I have forwarded a number of documents to the families involved in the matter now before Barnstable District Court in regard to Ms. Thoman. Ms. Thoman was aware that I retained your counsel for the matter of criminal harassment and I suggested that she attempt to secure your counsel in this matter several months prior to the charge.

I worked with Ms. Taryn Thoman on matters pertaining to the recall of President Janet Swain Joakim. Ms. Thoman assisted me in the development of my website, www.barnstablesafetynetwork.com. Ms. Thoman also provided me with minimal assistance in the setting up of an email account. Taryn Thoman read my email, collapsed my website, and blamed me for developing obscene graphics of the sitting town council president. Ms. Thoman threatened me and my family physically, and suggested that she would accuse me of harming her child, Aidan Wilcox. Thoman stated that I would be placed permanently in a home for the mentally ill and she would be subsequently able to sue my family for their assets.

I have continued to forward matters pertaining to public safety to attorneys and others with interests in public safety in Hyannis and Barnstable. This includes Mr. Peter Manso and Mr. Christopher H. Worthington. I reminded Ms. Thoman during our six month working relationship intended to remove Joakim from office that matters pertaining to the ongoing compromise in public safety had precedence over the recall of Joakim. Ms. Thoman never understood the convolution of such matters with her actions and jeopardized not only my safety and well-being, but compromised an ongoing criminal investigation in regard to impropriety with multiple departments. I advised her that my telephone line may be tapped and that our conversations were not secure. Ms. Thoman threatened to hire convicted felons to break into the Joakim home on said non-secure telephone line and materials confirming this were forwarded to Joakim.

Although my case in Barnstable District Court has been long closed, materials pertinent to an ongoing investigation have been forwarded to federal authorities. I declined to speak with local law enforcement per an agreement with Judge Joseph Reardon. Because of the stipulation made my Judge Reardon, I have instead forwarded any and all materials including the offensive actions of Taryn Thoman to appropriate authorities. I was contacted in regard to this case by Detective Mark Delaney. Your client, Taryn Thoman harassed me over the Internet referring to me as “crazypants”. I have been identified as a material witness in an ongoing federal investigation. Ms. Thoman’s behavior and actions may have compromised me and henceforth obstructed justice in said ongoing investigation. As you know, you were a witness to the dismissal of an Assistant District Attorney before Judge Donald Carpenter. I continue to forward all materials to the Office of the Attorney General and associated federal agents.

Your decision to represent Ms. Taryn Thoman may constitute a conflict of interest.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Just How How Messed Up Are the Criminals on 'Ole Cape Cod? Ask the Homeless!

2009-10-16T11:40:00.001-07:00

Consider the architects schematic floor plan for the Dana's Field's Project proposed for the Town of Sandwich before the Zoning Board of Appeals in 2002. Housing Assistant Corporations executives, Rick Presbrey, Livia Davis, and Tom Brigham lobbied for passage of this poorly designed experimental social project for homeless parties, in particular criminal offenders modeled after the Moltrup Farm in Denmark.

The organization was found to house a number of criminal offenders including felons paroled for violent crimes including rape and homicide. Presbrey and Davis initially told the Town of Sandwich, "If you don't want us, we won't come!". The Barnstable Human Service Committee dismantled the makeshift camps after the following concerns were presented before officials in the Town of Barnstable. Letters addressing these concerns are posted below.

Mary Clements
PO Box 134
Marion, MA

August 15, 2003

Mr. John Klimm,
367 Main Street
Hyannis, MA 02601

I understand there is a proposal to combine the Pilot House, Duffy Clinic and HAC/NOAH Shelter into a multi-service center for the homeless in a converted restaurant adjacent to the Barnstable Airport. I was in attendance at the Human Service Needs Committee chaired by Reverend James Scovil of the Hyannis Federated Church in April of 2002.

I was present when Royden Richardson of District 4 introduced a proposal sponsored by the Salvation Army that essentially provided vacant land and public support of unsupervised camping of homeless individuals with chronic substance abuse problems and a variety of untreated psychiatric issues.

The population of homeless utilizing this vacant land would have been concentrated with criminal offenders. The parcel of land suggested in this initiative was directly across from the Stop and Shop Supermarket on Rt. 132. After vocal opposition by local authorities, public safety personnel, and members of the listening public, the proposal was dismissed.

Members of the human service committee remained adamant that allowing public camping without sanitation facilities, proper storage of food items, and necessary support services was perfectly reasonable. I remember being asked by one of the committee members if dismantling the camps was a prudent and necessary action. He was wearing a navy blue suit and told me my answer was a “litmus test”. He was later identified as District Attorney Michael O’Keefe. I answered that it was in the best interest of clients, businessmen and residents collectively.

O'Keefe expressed concern that professionals working with clients had not discussed public health implications at any point previously and in particular to the makeshift camps already in use. Ms. Judy Best RN was not in attendance. Livia Davis had informed me the previous day that no more representatives from HAC/NOAH would be attending the scheduled meetings because they had become “accusatory” in nature.

The following month I was told by Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee Member Alan Burt that the meetings at the Federated Church were now “closed”. Burt explained to me that confidentiality issues were involved and that I could no longer attend. I proceeded to assist him and Reverend Bob Huff of the Salvation Army with the sponsored camping project at Shawme Crowell and the Overnights of Hospitality.
Alan continued to condemn the actions of public officials.

I withdrew all support for the human service advocates at a meeting for the relief effort after Alan Burt organized an effort to resist the potential razing of makeshift camps the following year. He attempted to establish a lobby group, soliciting member of the Council of Churches to protest the “slick and deceptive” action of local authorities. Burt suggested that it was “cruel and inhumane” to remove an obvious public health hazard. Livia Davis was present at this meeting held at Baldwin Hall of The Federated Church in February of 2003. Davis spoke publicly to the Council of Churches on support and funding for the Dana’s Field’s Project.

Recently, I received minutes of the notes from the Barnstable Human Service meetings held at Community Action Committee. Enclosed is the report published by the clinicians of the O’Neill/Duffy Clinic on success and progress of clients at the Pilot House.

It appears that the two main local human service organizations have seized an opportunity to promote expansion. There has been little change in the quality of services that exacerbated the problem. The six people who have been classified as success stories have all appeared intoxicated in or around the apartment complex at 72 North Street and the Cosmetique Parking Lot. The building where I live is considered a “crack house”.

Enclosed are a number of letters that I have forwarded to officials in the Town of Sandwich in regard to The Dana’s Field’s Project. Correspondence indicates my opposition to expansion of this negligent industry to a quiet and unsuspecting town. Plans to build this $11 million dollar farm will not include placement of the 80% of current, chronic offenders in Hyannis. In fact, the local shelter will become the placement of individuals who fall below the standards for rehabilitation in Sandwich.

I have also enclosed architectural floor plans for the facility, including the schematic design for two homes for executives to be built on the premises. Homes for staff are estimated to cost the taxpayer $578,000 for Dana’s Field’s Executive Director Livia Davis and $482,000 for Public Relations Coordinator, Mr. Tom Brigham.

The administration of Housing Assistance Corporation and the attorney representing the organization promised members of The Sandwich Family Association that tenacious and obstreperous clients that could not be rehabilitated would be returned to Hyannis. Rick Presbrey and Michael Princi stated that staff would screen difficult clients out of the applicant pool, so as not to disrupt the quiet, sleepy, Town of Sandwich where the Davis and Brigham families plan to make their homes.

Tax returns for Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC) are included and available for your inspection as the company is classified as a 501C Non-Profit organization. (HAC) has claimed publicly before the Sandwich Zoning Board of Appeals held at the Oak Ridge School that the organization assumes a $200,000 annual loss, but executives keep the shelter open as a “favor to the town of Hyannis”.

This organization is planning the controversial farm project at an $11 million dollar price tag with less than 27% of the funds raised. The ZBA Sandwich hired an independent business consultant that anticipates that according to statistical precedent, the non-profit will face insurmountable difficulty within the first six months and the project is expected to fail completely within the first year.

Housing Assistance Corporation, Community Action Committee and The Duffy Clinic have now joined forces and intend to lobby for municipal funding and support. It appears that the combination of these three agencies and conflicting philosophies will result in the maintenance of the status quo. Lack of direction and mismanagement of funds presents even greater potential harm to both clients of whom they are responsible and the surrounding community in which they must function.

I recommend that you strongly consider the negative impact that previously prevailed when HAC/NOAH and the O’Neill/Duffy Clinic have combined. The organizations are still in proximity to the commercial district and a number of schools. Professionals working at the Pilot House deny that their rehabilitation efforts on chronic clients continue to fail.

The NOAH Shelter has been unable to supervise habitual offenders. The Chase Sober House operated by Housing Assistance has been less than effective and the adjacent O’Neill Satellite of the Duffy Clinic unable to provide services to chronic clientele. Human service providers intend to expand concentrated services to the locale. The drain on financial and human resources including public safety personnel is currently at capacity. The burden on rescue personnel should this plan for combination of services and organizations be brought to fruition will become virtually insurmountable.

The shelter often presents a hostile and aggressive climate that fosters negative behavior as many who are troubled resort to aggression. The organization most often defends the actions of the criminal element and dictates a climate of intimidation and fear. I am concerned that continued support for agencies supporting or tolerating this atmosphere will further compromise not only vulnerable clients and recidivist offenders, but also society at large.

The Pilot House or any provision for displaced campers and chronic offenders was supposed to be a homelike, family style, arrangement enabling clients to develop a sense of purpose and belonging. As many of us feared the project has become a larger facility operating on the same principles by the same providers, with an even lesser rate of efficacy.

I would recommend closure of the NOAH shelter and the development of smaller, scattered group homes to relieve the heavy concentration of criminal narcotic offenders virtually ruling the street of Hyannis. It would be prudent to expect closer supervision of habitual offenders. I have spoken to three different attorneys who state there is sufficient evidence to support a court injunction to protect clients and residents from any further harm caused by the mismanagement at HAC/NOAH and its associated Duffy Clinic.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements, RN

In the fiscal year, 2000, Housing Assistance Corporation generated $14,500 in annual revenue from transitional assistance funds to provide homeless services to indigent clientele in downtown Hyannis. Many of the clients of the local shelter were delivered to the Town of Barnstable from incarceration and recent release from prison facilities off-Cape. Most clients are provided with a one-way bus ticket and promised an opportunity at rehabilitation at this agency catering to criminal offenders.

The organization is within walking distance of a number of elementary secondary schools, and daycare centers. Executives divided the tax funded revenue between seven suborganization including the local shelter, sober house, home for unwed parents on South Street and "Wheels to Work Program.

Livia Davis and Tom Brigham planned an 11.5 million dollar farm project in the conservative, neighboring Town of Sandwich modeled after Davis family farm for criminal offender in Denmark. The organization lobbied Senator Ted Kennedy's Office for funds, filed for $250,000 for the parcel of property purchased through HUD, and appeared on CNN to promote the concept.

In 2003, as Housing Assistance lobbied for an expanded shelter to house clients deemed unfit for the experimental project, it was discovered a number of violent offenders were tied to the shelter and connected with two open homicide investigations.

After pressure on public officials and law enforcement agents that accepted campaign contributions from these executives, the project was placed on hold. The parcel of property has been mortgaged, and there is now a direct effort to recover the clientele yet to be rehabilitated in downtown Hyannis.

Mildred's Chowder House/Fish Landing proposed site, shot down by neighbors and concerned abutters. Stuie Bornstein, you are my hero!

(Click on to enlarge).
This correspondence is stamped received by the Office of Barnstable Town Manager, John Klimm in regard to the effort. The items were privately addressed, the principles fired, no resolution on homeless issues acheived, and political figures effectively covered-up the imminent danger to not only the taxpaying public, but also vulnerable and innocent tourists, businesses,
women and children.

Here is the correspondence forwarded to former Barnstable Assistant Town Manager Joellen Daly from Michael O'Keefe supporting the new site of the shelter at Fish Landing. A number of campaign contributions from exectives and clinicians supporting the Dana's Field's Project were accepted from O'Keefe. Michael Princi, the Attorney representing Housing Assistance before the Zoning Board of Appeals in Sandwich told the Sandwich Family Association that he had made a "number of generous contributions to public officials" that supported the project.

(Click on to enlarge.)
Note Barnstable Town Council President Royden Richardson, and Chairman of the Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee lobbying for the expanded wet shelter for homeless services. The organization continued to lobby for the Dana's Field's Project and Livia Davis is seated among executives. Davis promised the Town of Sandwich that she was going to return unrecovered and unrehabilitated clients to the new facility if they failed at rehabilitation at her project in Sandwich. District Attorney Michael O'Keefe is seated and spoke in favor of expansion of this negligent organization that housed criminal offenders.

There were two open homicides under investigation as O'Keefe lobbied for funds. Both perpetrators were traced to the shelter after O'Keefe and local law enforcement was tipped off about sex offenders tied to the agencies. Royden Richardson was formerly employed by the District Attorney's Office as a Probation Officer. Richardson was dismissed from his duties after a conviction for molesting probationers. His record was sealed.

Now do you see why I think you are stupid, Mike?

Among the Evicted! At Least We Have Taryn Thoman and the Crazy Town Council to Thank for Something!

2009-10-15T11:03:00.000-07:00

Photographed above are Pam Parisi and David "Davio Brown" of 75 Pearl Street. During the 2008 Recall Effort of President Janet Swain Joakim initiated by Citizen's for Open Government, Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills discovered that the tenants of 75 Pearl Street were clients of The Duffy Clinic and The Baybridge Clubhouse for the Mentally Ill . The Duffy Clinic provide health services for the homeless and the indigent. All of the tenants living at the address have been at the mercy of negligent human services. A number of residents of this address were also former clients of the NOAH Shelter. The human services have been the subject of an ongoing investigation involving a number of public officials.

Taryn Thoman was the "official" recall organizer for this initiative and former candidate for Barnstable Charter Commission. Thoman intended, at some point, to campaign against Councilor Janice Barton for the Precinct 12 Council Seat. Thoman was still smarting from her ill-fated race for charter commission and reeling from her flamboyant, melodramatic departure from the Barnstable "No Place for Hate Committee. Taryn herself has unresolved substance abuse and narcotics issues.

During the recall effort of President Janet Joakim, clients were approached by the staff at Baybridge and told that the rent for their clubhouse would rise dramatically if the split-tax intiative were addressed. They were told that their clubhouse would close if they did not appear at the "Open Meeting for Voters" in March of 2008. Councilor Janice Barton of the Barnstable Human Service Committee and former Barnstable Town Council President Janet Joakim arranged for a bus to transport clients from the Baybridge Clubhouse for the Mentally Ill to the venue at Barnstable High School. It was during this effort that Thoman met Parisi, and initiated a controversial conversation that inspired Taryn Thoman.

Apparently, neither Eric "Bugsy" Schwaab of Hyannis, nor Taryn Thoman, have any moral compunction against extortion and blackmail.

Taryn Thoman suggested that she would tape the personal story of my neighbor, Pam Parisi and sell the videocopy to Eric "Bugsy" Schwaab of Hyannis. Sadly, Pam Parisi confided that was romantically involved, at one time, with the father of Councilor Jim Munafo. Schwaab was a former candidate for the Precinct 3 and a contender against Jim Munafo. Eric Schwaab admitted on a tapped telephone line that he would have purchased the item from Thoman for the $50.000. In June of 2008, Thoman stated that a compromising video and audio tape would be worth this amount of money to him. Taryn Thoman and Eric Schwaab of Hyannis consider themselves to be a couple of savvy, political contenders.

Subsquent to the political crisis jeopardizing the council seats of both Barton and Joakim, clients and tenants monitored by the social services began demonstrating erratic and violent behavior. "Davio" began allowing narcotics addicted clients into the building, an intoxicated man expired on the premises, and Brown was transported to the hospital several times. Once he was beaten so badly he left a pool of blood in his path, and on one occasion, he lit his right hand and arm on fire. He sustained third degree burns. Landlords Tom Noonan and Dan Levesque have taken action to evict him.

Another client, David Gorman, threatened me with a firearm in front of witnesses for playing my music, too loudly, at 11AM. He had a substantial history of threatening his former neighbors with weapons, and an exceptional record for firearms possession. He claimed to be the "handyman" for the building, stalking tenants and peering in windows.

During the recall effort and subsequent to the defeat of the initiative, allies of the sitting Barnstable Town Council President had the audacity to suggest that the lobby group was "just using me". I was labelled a poor, distraught, emotionally ill, basket case. Joakim, her ilk, and her most of her ardent enemies hardly understand that I was considered a "material witness" in an ongoing corruption probe. Assistant Barnstable Town Manager and former Barnstable Housing Authority Executive Director, Tom Lynch signed the charther commission paperwork for Taryn Thoman.

Do me a favor, all of you bubble-headed, bovine women that want to run the Town of Barnstable, take your cheating husbands, drop dead, and Go to Hell!

Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Thank you!

Dear Chief Justice O’Neill,

Thank you for your patience in regard to the eviction proceeding brought against me by my landlords, Tom Noonan and Dan Levesque. As you know I was involved in the effort to recall President Janet Swain Joakim from office last November. You may be aware that there were a number of scurrilous comments placed about me on the Internet by President Joakim and related parties. I saved these items for review by attorneys and law enforcement agents that investigate the convolution of political matters and associated agencies. A number of compromised tenants were removed from 75Pearl Street after it was determined that residents were at risk of being taped by Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills for political purposes. Taryn Thoman’s intent to videotape Pam Parisi to extort Councilor James Munafo out of office was reported to Arlene Crosby of The Duffy Clinic, the Barnstable Police Department and ultimately to the Barnstable Housing Authority. Parisi was immediately relocated to Cromwell Court.

Judge Riley commented this morning that he believed that I was “running one of his colleagues, Judge H. Gregory Williams, into the ground” by suggesting that the judge presiding in this matter misunderstood an item pertaining to a security deposit in this matter.

Clearly, there are a number of political commentators that have many kind things to say about your rulings in regard to the matter before the courts last week. Please consider the documentation enclosed that mentions your name in reference to Internet communications and connections to you and the case brought before the Barnstable District Court. Clearly, Mrs. Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills holds you in high regard.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Falmouth, MA 02540

Dear Mr. Segadelli,

Thank you for representing my interests in the matter of the charge of criminal harassment against me filed in the Barnstable District Court in regard to The Barnstable Police Department . You may be aware that I assisted Ms. Taryn Thoman during the effort to recall President Janet Swain Joakim from office. I also collected signatures for the Open Meeting of the Voters held in Hyannis last spring at her request. Ms. Thoman requested my assistance developing a legitimate lobby and political action committee last January. We were introduced through a mutual acquaintance, Lou Gonzaga of Hyannis. Mr. Gonzaga is currently serving as an official constable here in Barnstable and has long been involved in municipal politics.

When Taryn Thoman was charged with criminal harassment, I recommended that she consider retaining your counsel. Ms. Thoman is responsible for developing obscene graphics of President Janet Swain Joakim and forwarding them from her computer terminal to a number of websites. In addition, Ms. Thoman assisted me in the development of my website, www.barnstablesafetynetwork.com. Taryn Thoman knew my passwords and personal data and ran my website on her server and off her website, taryn@tarynsmirror.com. Thoman continues to blame me for harassing a number of parties and continually posts scurrilous comments about me on local blog sites. Please review her current blog postings on local political websites. Clearly you can see from Thoman’s comments that she intends to post controversial and threatening materials in regard to me on her newly constructed website, www.barnstable411.typepad.com . Please be aware that Ms. Thoman has publicly blamed me for developing the disturbing graphics of President Janet Swain Joakim. Ms. Thoman is aware that I was photographing Councilor Greg Milne at the All-America City Parade under her direction and working at 4pm at the Kennedy Gallery on Main Street subsequent to the parade. My employer and co-workers were present and in my company throughout the day. Ms. Thoman stated that she was at a barbecue at the home of Mr. Tony Pelletier of the Hyannis Civic Association and has alleged that I am at fault for continued harassment of Janet Joakim and her neighbors on Mountain Ash Road.

Tony Pelletier denied that Taryn Thoman was invited to his home on the Fourth of July. It is on the fourth that these graphics were developed and emailed to my website. Ms. Thoman has a history of mailing related obscene graphics to members of Barnstable’s blogosphere. Ms. Thoman’s neighbors, Christine and Ron Howell confirm that Taryn Thoman and her sister Therese Marinelli were home all day on the fourth of July.

You defended me in a criminal harassment charge. Your current client, Taryn Thoman is a former associate of mine. Thoman is blaming me for her actions of criminal harassment. You should be aware that there is ongoing convolution of these matters with local and federal law enforcement. Please consider the blog postings placed on an Internet site by your client. Clearly, Ms. Thoman is suggesting that she has information in regard to my court case and is suggesting that she may post such items on a website. I have contacted the Massachusetts Bar Association and filed a complaint. I am unsure as to whether our conversations and matters were covered by attorney client privilege. It seems that Ms. Thoman is suggesting that you have not maintained an agreement of confidentiality and is threatening to post matters on her website.

Is there not a conflict of interest? I have forwarded these documents to Justice William O’Neill of the Barnstable District Court.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Wave bye-bye, Pam! At least you got your wish to move to Cromwell Court! The Barnstable District Court are facing a witness tampering allegation, Tom Lynch ain't pasing the smell test, and Taryn Thoman is about to foreclose!

The slide show posted above addresses the long term effects of municipal corruption in Barnstable County. The item presented beneath this narrative is excerpted from a website touting the laurels of current Attorney General Martha Coakley and her intent to campaign for the senate seat of the late Ted Kennedy. Posted below is a reprint of the correspondence forwarded to Martha Coakley's Office in regard to the negligent standard of human services in Hyannis and Greater Barnstable.

Christopher H. Worthington, Esq., the father of the homicide victim in Truro demonstrated suffficient interest in the whereabouts of the perpetrator convicted in the homicide of his daughter that he suggested he would approach the sitting attorney general in this matter. Worthington is fomerly associated with the Office of the Attorney General as an assistant criminal prosecutor and a former District Attorney representing Plymouth County.

Worthington was stunned to discover that District Attorney Michael O'Keefe was less then forthcoming about his association with The Barnstable Human Service Committee and Housing Assistance Corporation. O'Keefe accepted a number of campaign contributions from executives representing negligent and substandard organizations providing services to the felon that raped and murdered his daughter, Christa Worthington.

A number of violent offenders were traced to the Hyannis area, specifically as clients of Housing Assistance Corporation and the associated Duffy Clinic. There has been no resolution on the ongoing malfeasance and mismanagement of funds that resulted in a number of offenders concentrated to the Hyannis and Cape Cod area. worthington suggested that the informant should be considered a "material witness" in an ongoing corruption probe of multiple departments and agencies that caused the negligence harming his daughter and her family.

The material witness in this case was threatened with "Obstruction of Justice" on a number of occasions, and charged with "Criminal Harassment", but no solution that involves justice and improvement for the standard for safety for Barnstable County has ultimately been acheived.

Attorney General Martha Coakley huddled with President Obama yesterday in Washington to discuss regulation of the financial industry, a meeting that, while unrelated to her US Senate candidacy, could help her showcase herself as a national player.

The president asked her to discuss regulatory reforms that the White House is pursuing. She was joined by three other attorneys general: Andrew Cuomo of New York, Lisa Madigan of Illinois, and Ray Cooper of North Carolina. Coakley said the four were among a group of prosecutors who cracked down on investment banks and mortgage companies that she said had contributed to the financial crisis. “We’re in the lead in Massachusetts, with suits like Fremont and our settlement with Goldman Sachs,’’ Coakley said in a phone interview, referring to two recent cases. “Other states who are aggressive on this look to Massachusetts.’’

It is clear that Coakley, the front-runner in the Senate Democratic primary, is trying to make the most of her meeting with the president, politically speaking. Her campaign trumpeted the event yesterday on its Facebook page and Twitter feed.

Coakley said she did not view her invitation to the White House as an endorsement of her candidacy. “I’m clearly invited as attorney general and for the work I’ve done as attorney general, but this is a huge issue for people in this country,’’ she said.

Dear Attorney Coakley,

You may be aware of substantial impropriety regarding Housing Assistance Corporation and its convolution with law enforcement in Barnstable County. Negligent and substandard services provided by this organization have compromised safety in downtown Hyannis and Greater Barnstable. Photographs and court documents indicate that the Barnstable District Attorney’s Office is aware of convicted felons, violent offenders and narcotics addicts in proximity to schools, daycare centers and neighborhoods full of children. The human service sector, public officials and law enforcement continue to jeopardize the health, welfare and safety of an unsuspecting public. A number of public officials including law enforcement officials have accepted campaign contributions from these organizations and agencies.

Perpetrators known to The NOAH Shelter, Chase House, O’Neill Center, Pilot House, Duffy Clinic include a number of high profile murders and offenders. Christopher McCowen, convicted in the rape and murder of Christa Worthington, Michael Gentile, serving life for the rape and murder of Melissa Gosule, and Paul Nolin convicted in the rape and murder of young Jonathan Wessner of Falmouth were all clients of the local shelter and patients of community clinics providing services to the indigent. Notorious felons were associated with the Friends of Prisoners Program of Hyannis, The Salvation Army Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen, and Cape Cod Psychiatric Services. In addition, there were a number of violent homicides occurring within the homeless community spanning several decades. Nurses, clinicians and practitioners often prescribed narcotics liberally to patients. This practice succeeded in compounding violence associated with the downtown area.

In 1999, the probation of Christopher McCowen was surrendered by Judge Welsh after he failed to appear at this mandated counseling sessions at Cape Cod Psychiatric Services. McCowen was a patient of Cape Cod Health and Human Services, the outpatient clinic of Cape Cod Psychiatric Services. Cape Cod Psychiatric Services operates a clinic in Orleans, and McCowen was seen as an outpatient at this satellite clinic prior to the homicide of Miss Worthington. Christopher McCowen was diverted into treatment for non-violent offenders at Gosnold Inc./Chris Judson’s Drug Court after her rape and murder in 2002. McCowen lived at three different addresses in Hyannis and was arrested three times by the Barnstable Police Department while on the lamb for her murder. My cooperation with local authorities was elicited in this case, as it was in the homicide of Jonathan Wessner of Falmouth. The arrest of the perpetrator was made after there was a change in the course of the investigation after I provided substantial work product to a number of law enforcement agents including the District Attorney’s Office. Christopher Worthington told me that I should consider myself a “material witness” in an ongoing corruption investigation of Michael O’Keefe and his involvement with the Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee. Mr. Worthington also has copies of the campaign contributions accepted by public officials and law enforcements agents. He was upset about the difficulty this has created for his family and the death of his daughter. I have enclosed receipts for the materials forwarded to Mr. Worthington. He told me to “consider everything relevant.” Mr. Worthington stated that he had connections with you, and was working in cooperation with your office.

In May of 2007, David Gorman, a handyman employed part time in my apartment complex threatened me with a weapon on the premises of this tenancy. I have enclosed his record for weapons possession. He was also a former client of the NOAH Shelter and a patient of psychiatric services at Cape Cod Hospital. Gorman began to stalk and harass me. When I rebuffed his advance, he began making noise complaints about the quality of "church music" I listened to in the mid-morning hours. When the Gorman threatened me, I began to make arrangements to move from this tenancy and from the downtown area.

The Housing Authority was notified of my intent to leave. I was informed that I was aware that I had witnessed impropriety in Barnstable. Kim Gomez, of the BHA told me that their office was told to continue to provide me with services. She also asked me once if I was a “witness”. Gomez stated that she had connection with law enforcement that indicates that this was so. Kim Gomez told me specifically in December of 2008 not to forward any more information to her, not to contact her by telephone or email, and not to visit the office unannounced or without notice. This is a policy of the BHA, and Gomez told me that she did not want to be involved in anyway with my complaints about this tenancy, difficulty with the client/handyman, accounts of violence in the building, or notice of increased narcotics trafficking with specific tenants.

In May of 2008, The Honorable H. Gregory Williams evicted me from my most recent residence. The rent was fully paid at the time I was evicted. I notified the New Bedford Housing Authority that maintains my Section 8 Voucher two days after vacating this unit. Once again, Gomez instructed me to direct all correspondence and concerns to Linda Ramos of the New Bedford Housing Authority. After cooperating with the landlord, Gomez then claimed I did not notify the Barnstable Housing Authority properly. Not only did I forwarded substantial documentation of impropriety to Ramos and the Executive Director of the New Bedford Housing Authority, I immediately made an appointment to discuss concerns with the Leased Housing Department of the New Bedford Housing Authority that granted me this voucher.

On August 5, 2009, Sandra Perry of the Barnstable Housing Authority conducted a review of Gomez decision to terminate my Section 8 Housing Voucher. I presented items that clearly demonstrated that the apartment was not only in disrepair; it became infested with narcotics and associated violence. Numerous documents and photographs indicating that were a number of police and rescue calls were presented to Perry and Gomez. There was a death on the premises after alcohol intoxication and photographs of the coroner removing the body and the Death Certificate of this Duffy Clinic client expiring on the premises was provided. Tenants of this placement were all clients of The Baybridge Clubhouse for the Mentally Ill and The Duffy Clinic. Extensive photographs and documentation of imminent danger, narcotics trafficking, and violence were given to Ms. Perry. These items can be reviewed on www.welcometobarnstable.com.

Sandra Perry, Director of the Barnstable Housing Authority and Kim Gomez, The BHA Leased Housing Coordinator answer, ultimately, to Barnstable Town Manager John Klimm and Assistant Town Manager Tom Lynch. I have enclosed an item that indicates Lynch is closely tied with Housing Assistance Corporation. Both Sandra Perry and Kim Gomez of the Barnstable Housing Authority are former employees of Housing Assistance Corporation. Assistant Town Manager Tom Lynch is the former Executive Director of the Barnstable Housing Authority. Perry and Gomez are both aware of the allegations of impropriety.

Does eviction of a material witness from public housing for insufficient reason constitute witness tampering?

Mary Clements

Casting himself as a fiscal conservative and Washington outsider, Republican State Senator Scott Brown announced his candidacy for the US Senate yesterday, embarking on an uphill race for the seat held by Edward M. Kennedy for nearly half a century.
In a news conference at a downtown Boston hotel, Brown pledged to run a grass-roots campaign focused on lowering taxes and reducing the size of government, and denounced Democratic policies as harmful to economic recovery.

But Scott...Can you get rid of this negligent shelter full of violent sex offenders for us? Your incompetent competition, the soft on crime, liberal, Attorney General Martha Coakley? She wouldn't!

Consider correspondence forwarded to a number of public officials, law enforcment agents, human services providers and clinicians in reference to the negligent standard for human services in Hyannis and greater Barnstable. Executives of Housing Assistance Corporation planned lavish expansion projects at a price tag of $11.5 million dollars to the neighboring Town of Sandwich.

Convicted felons, sex offenders and unrehabilitated narcotics addicts were to placed in a new and expanded facility located close to a residential neighborhood, the Barnstable Airport and a major hotel. Real estate mogul and owner of the Radisson Hotel, Stuart Bornstein fought the expansion of unrecovered, homeless clientele to the Mildred's Chowder House/Fish Landing site.

A number of homicides were traced within the homeless population that occurred over ten years during the planning phase of the Dana's Field's Project. High profile rapes and murders were traced to the homeless population inolving convicted felons housed by the organization and treated by organizations supported by the "Mental Health Task Force" developed by Judge Joseph Reardon.

The conviction of Christopher McCowen for rape and homicide of Christa Worthington is currently up for appeal. McCowen was on the lamb for the murder of Miss Worthington in the Hyannis area during the negotiations for expansion of the Pilot House decided by the Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee before the Barnstable Airport Commission and Dana's Fields before the Zoning Board if Appeals in Sandwich. Local municipal figures were apprised of the compromise to public safety.

Dear Senator Kennedy

Homeless people in Hyannis and greater Barnstable County applaud the relief effort and two million dollars in funding negotiated via Phil Mangano and extend their sincerest gratitude. We are particularly thankful considering the current financial and socio-economic instability we all face in uncertain times.

Unfortunately, the generosity of the people of Barnstable was exploited by a number of human service agencies operating at a negligent standard. As you are aware, I have forwarded extensive materials to public officials including Senator Robert O’Leary, Representative Demetrius Atsalis, District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and President Janet Swain Joakim in regard to the compromise of safety of children in Hyannis and Greater Barnstable.

I have spoken many times before The Barnstable Town Council in regard to improvement of the standard for safety for all, especially children. Please note the compromise to safety of children living in the Marstons Mills Village of Barnstable. I have enclosed the court documentation and correspondence forwarded to the town attorney’s office in regard to the actions of sitting town council President Janet Swain Joakim.

President Joakim provoked and antagonized a tenuous situation involving families and children in a neighborhood of an adjacent precinct. Janet Joakim engaged in malicious and malevolent “blogging wars” by posting libelous materials on her personal website. Many of the postings and comments inflicted substantial emotional distress on many residents of Barnstable.

Victims of President Janet Swain Joakim’s reckless behavior remain greatly concerned of the impact of this behavior on children. Not only did President Joakim endanger the health, welfare, and safety of innocent children by maligning adversaries via the Internet, President Joakim advertises her website from the town council bench. Joakim directed me to be forcibly removed from the town council podium for ardent criticism of outrageous behavior and impropriety. Please consider the enclosed computer disc with vitriolic and malicious notation posted and a video produced from town meetings.

Demetrius Atsalis and Janet Joakim leaned on local law enforcement to charge the individuals that she intentionally provoked. The charge was deliberately timed to coincide with a special recall election as provided by the town charter to remove Janet Joakim from office. Please note the photographs provided of Chief Paul MacDonald assisting Janet Joakim as she campaigned to keep her council seat.

Lastly, I have included a number of photographs of conditions in downtown Hyannis in campsites. Some of these photographs have been taken in front of the Kennedy Museum and behind the National Armory where your brother John first announced his intent to run for President. President Janet Swain Joakim is not only a municipal leader; she is also your sitting town council president. President Joakim ignored the conditions of this substandard and negligent agency. Complaints regarding the compromise in safety to all members of the community were brought before the town council on a number of occasions.

The policies of President Joakim continue to jeopardize the health, welfare and safety of children in the Town of Barnstable. I am asking for your assistance to insure the immediate removal and dismissal of President Janet Swain Joakim from elected office. Her actions are not consistent with the spirit of the Democratic Party and the principles that you have fought for and in which we all believe.

Senator, I hope you are doing well.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Dear Mr. Worthington,

Please consider the correspondence forwarded to the Office of the Attorney General, Martha Coakley. You may recall a conversation where I detailed a number of items regarding the perpetrator convicted in the rape and homicide of your daughter and his association with human services in Barnstable. As you are aware, District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and Senator Rob O’Leary accepted campaign contributions from Rick Presbrey of Housing Assistance Corporation and other clinicians providing services to this offender.

The local homeless shelter operated by Presbrey’s organization, NOAH, the associated O’Neill Center and the Duffy Clinic provided services to clients with narcotics addictions, violent behavior and substantial criminal records. A number of campaign contributions were forwarded to public officials and favors for this negligent and substandard agency continue.

In May, Judge H. Gregory Williams ordered me evicted from a narcotics infested building plagued with violence. Not only were there deaths on the premises, I was threatened by a client of the Baybridge Clubhouse for the Mentally Ill and Duffy Clinic. Criminal records, accounts of the violence, and photographs of conditions in the materials forwarded to Martha Coakley. These items and all correspondence can now be reviewed on www.welcometobarnstable.com.

You mentioned when I spoke to you that you were in contact with Attorney Coakley and that you were going to speak to her regarding the negligent standards at the local shelter. You told me to consider myself a “material witness, and that all items and materials should be considered relevant”. When I expressed concern for my safety, you stated “We know how to treat a material witness”. Your words verbatim to me were “Young lady, if these people had anything to do with my daughters death, I want them in jail!”

Have you given up on justice for Christa?

Truly,

Mary Clements

Mr. Christopher H. Worthington, Esq., father of the homicide victim in Truro suggested that he would contact Attorney General Martha Coakley in regard to allegations of impropriety involving Housing Assistance Corporation and related organizations.

Homeless Crisis? What Homeless Crisis?

2009-10-12T12:56:00.000-07:00

Town Officials disputed that mismanagement of public funds and malfeasance contributed to the current homeless crisis in Hyannis and Greater Cape Cod. for eight years, homeless clients attempted to organize a lobby group to address concerns over negligent services. A number of advocates and clinicians dismissed concerns of homeless parties as "non-credible" and "inappropriate". A number of rapes and homicides occurred withing the homeless population for fifteen years as executives focused on an exclusive expansion project in the neighboring Town of Sandwich.

The Dana's Field Project, modeled after the Moltrup Farm in Sandwich, received acclaim and support from municipal figures, local politicians, and local news publications. Executives lobbied the Office of the late Senator Ted Kennedy and gained publicity on a documentary produced by CNN. What Rick Presbrey, Livia Davis and Tom Brigham didn't tell the residents of Cape Cod was that the planned 11.5 project included lavish plans for housing for executives, a pony and horse stables, an Olympic Size Pool and Recreation Facility and a dairy farm to be run by ex-convicts in a residential area.

Livia Davis and Rick Presbrey promised the members of The Sandwich Family Association that the applicants would be carefully screened into the projects because executives would be living on site with their families, and candidates and clients that failed at rehabilitation would be returned to Hyannis at a new and improved location. Executives and Barnstable Town Officials lobbied the Barnstable Airport Commission to place the new and expanded facility at "Fish Landing". The organization narrowed in on a location directly across from the Radisson Hotel owned and operated by real estate and business mogul, Stu Bornstein. The proposal was short lived.

Mr. William Henchy, Esq., attorney representing the Sandwich Family Association, and Jason Talerman, Esq., the attorney appointed to advise the Zoning Board of Appeals in Sandwich discovered that the organization was maintaining seven sub-organizations on a budget of $14,500 and had little funding for the proposed project. Davis had lobbied HUD for $250,000 to purchase a parcel of land in Sandwich. The property has already been mortgaged and is supporting Housing Assistance Corporation's other adventures.

A number of criminal records and materials were delivered to Mr. Bill Henchy. Henchy addressed concerns that the organization would admit less than qualified, unrecovered tenants to the project for financial reasons. A number of homicides were traced to the shelter organizations subsequent to the decision that effectively stalled the development of this project. This weeks posts will include financial tax returns and the schematic plans for this organizations lavish expansion project at tax payer expense.

Here's The New Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize! Biggest Hero in Barnstable!

2009-10-10T09:13:00.000-07:00

Consider the correspondence and photographs posted below. The homeless of Hyannis and leadership of the Town of Barnstable are running reconnaissance on their own holy war. President Fred Chirigotis, Councilors Janet Joakim and Janice Barton are well aware of the negligent standard for services that compromised the health, welfare and safety of all residents of Barnstable. Town Manager John Klimm and Assistant Town Manager Tom Lynch are implicted in a cover up that involves a number of public officials including the Barnstable Housing Authority. After all, Tom Lynch is the former Director of the Barnstable Housing Authority and signed the charter commission papers of a controversial local blogger. Unfortunately, they used the likes of Taryn Thoman to accomplish their goals!

Dear Ms. Ramos,

Thank you for your letter of December 19, 2008. There have been substantial problems with my tenancy at this address and I was hoping to move out of this apartment before the problems became worse. The apartment leaks from the roof in the bedroom and the electrical outlet has shot out fire shorting out a number of electrical appliances. The designated handyman was a client of Baybridge Clubhouse for the mentally ill and The Duffy Clinic. He has a criminal complaint filed against him for a weapons violation in the Chatham Housing Authority. I have photographs of the roof leaking, general disrepair and public drinking occurring on the premises with clients invited to the building by David Gorman.

David Gorman was receiving a break on his portion of the rent in return for services. The clients of this organization have become a problem and a nuisance for me. There have been many clients with criminal records for narcotics dealing and violence on the premises. The building is next to Cape Cod Child Development. I have forwarded materials including public drinking of these tenants and photographs of the difficulty to federal law enforcement. I will be forwarding the dangerous conditions of this apartment to you along with the criminal records of clients. Mr. Gorman threatened me with a weapon for playing “church music” at 11AM.

I will be forwarding monies owed to the landlord in this case. I am unable to move my belongings from the premises. I will continue with my housing voucher in this municipality despite the compromise to my own safety.

Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Peace Is Possible? Now I've Seen It All!

2009-10-09T12:35:00.001-07:00

Note the King of Liberals nominated and accepting the Nobel Prize, this morning. The economic infrastructure of America now has such socialist leaning that we have increased hostilities in the Middle-East and a general global perception of economic and military weakness. Imminent threats include nuclear capablities of hostile nations. Congress is considering a 40,000 increased troop presence in Afghanistan and Iran is experimenting with nuclear weapons.

In Barnstable, some consider peace possible among political terrorists that jeopardize the health, welfare and safety of innocent civilians. It appears to be a specious effort and we have yet to make any headway in the war on stupidity.

Dear Mr. Klimm,

Please review the correspondence and materials in regard to sitting Town Council President Janet Joakim. President Joakim demonstrates a substantial pattern of outrageous behavior that jeopardizes the health and safety of innocent children. As you are aware, I have complained extensively about notation and posting placed by Janet Joakim on sevenvillagesblog.com. sevenvillagesblog.com is the website constructed and maintained by an elected public official. Joakim provokes, antagonizes and instigates voters by placing inflammatory, scurrilous and libelous comments on her personal website. She often advertises her website at public meetings and in her column “From your Precinct Councilor. Please consider her comments after my removal from the town council podium at two recent meetings. Many of the comments posted were placed on the Internet by Joakim and compromises the stature of the entire town council. I have enclosed Joakim’s website on an enclosed disc for your review. Town Attorney Ruth Weil suggested that the mean -spirited and unkind nature of the vitriolic comments provoked Joakim into developing such a website. Joakim also claims to be skilled in the art of website construction and advertises her business by promoting her website from the council bench.

Town Attorney, Ruth Weil assumes that the onus remains on a few disgruntled constituents that disapprove of her current policies. President Janet Joakim’s unbecoming conduct reflects poorly on the quality of all government officials representing the Town of Barnstable. Frustrated voters and angry constituents are free to attack her policies. They are, and will always be protected by shield laws. This is at times an unfortunate expectation of government leaders and public officials. Candidates voted into office are expected to be able to cope with criticism and angry factions. It is clearly a responsibility of elected officials. Please consider Joakim’s accusation and placement of comments regarding my psychological condition placed upon her website. I was notified by a member of “Citizens for Open Government” that Joakim has recently accused me of leaving several questionable comments on her website. It is an expectation of this grassroots advocacy and pressure group to refrain from commenting on sevenvillagesblog.com.

I am in possession of counseling and therapy records generated by the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children regarding a child witness to violence. I have complained about the compromise to children’s safety and welfare in the past. My expectation was that these issues would be resolved expediently and not exacerbated by the sitting Town Council President. Please review the complaint formulated by the Barnstable Police Department in regard to John Joakim. President Joakim’s husband assaulted and threatened Ms. Taryn Thoman in the presence of her young child. The police report has been circulated extensively in political circles and among attorneys with interests in public safety here in Barnstable. The police report now sits on a number of websites.

Barnstable Town Council President Janet Swain Joakim has been accused of political deceit. She continues to prevaricate and deny reckless and outrageous behavior. She lies unabashedly despite maintaining an Internet site designed to humiliate, degrade, and harass her adversaries. President Janet Joakim justifies her actions by suggesting voters are provoking her and have no place disagreeing with her policies and agenda. She insisted on my removal from the podium subsequent to my reference to her as “a hypocrite”. She also did not seem to make the connection between her promotion of a “No Place for Hate” Community effort and deliberate antagonistic comments being placed by her on her website. Clearly, she was asked to “Tear down this website!” Joakim continues to spew scurrilous and malicious comments and the notation have been saved in hardcopy and on software mechanisms for review by federal authorities. President Joakim’s deliberate, malicious; attacks compromising a child under the age of six are beyond reproach. The notation displayed on her website clearly indicates that she conspired to harass and target Taryn Thoman, her husband, and in particular, her small child. Janet claims to have a comprehensive agenda and policy platform on children’s rights.

Formulating complaints to you over seven years is a colossal waste of time. The energy that it requires to make you aware of grievous and outrageous offensive behavior is draining and exhausting. The ultimate goal is to place you on notice that the actions of officials constitute depraved indifference. The standard for common decency in this community is abysmal. I continue to forward materials to federal authorities and law enforcement officials to effect change.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements RN., BSN., MA

Homeless Rehabilitation! Talk About a Delusion!

2009-10-07T12:34:00.001-07:00

Well, it's that time of the year again! Weather begins to grow colder, leaves on the trees start turning beautiful colors. Incompetent agencies that provided negligent services start crying budget shortfalls! Services at the substandard NOAH Shelter and associated Duffy Clinic remain substandard due to general malfeasance and mismanagement of funds. Clientele were banned into the streets for over ten years as the organization planned lavish expansion projects complete with beautiful homes build for executives.

The organization billed third party insurers, and utilized local and national political figures to insure contruction of the 11.5 million dollar Dana's Field's Project in the neighboring Town of Sandwich. Rick Presbrey and Livia Davis promised the Zoning Board of Appeals and the members of the Sandwich Family Association that they would screen all candidates for felonies and major violent offenses. They promised that they would return unrehabilitated and unrecovered clientele to a new and improved facility scheduled for contruction directly across from Stu Bornstein's Radisson Hotel.

The level of depraved indifference, negligent homicide and manslaughter demonstrated by this negligent organization would have been investigated in any other municipality. But of course...not Barnstable!

Cape shortchanged on homeless funds:

October 07, 2009

HYANNIS — In what local housing advocates are calling a potentially devastating blow to the cause, a grant to keep local families from becoming homeless has been awarded at a fraction of what was requested. "We're still going to get the telephone calls, we're still going to get the people walking through the door," said Estella Fritzinger, executive director of the Community Action Committee of Cape Cod and the Islands, the lead agency to request the grant money from the state.

Instead of the $1.6 million asked for in the grant proposal, the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development awarded Fritzinger's organization, Housing Assistance Corp. of Hyannis and the Homeless Prevention Council only $200,000for a variety of programs, including homelessness prevention and other initiatives designed to divert families who would otherwise move into shelters to other forms of housing. The federal stimulus money is allocated by the state agency, which, HAC president and CEO Rick Presbrey said, is more focused on efforts to move families out of motels in other parts of the state than it is on the Cape's needs.

Also, none of the money for the state's Residential Assistance for Families in Transition program that provides short-term financial assistance to families who are homeless or who are about to become homeless is expected to be allocated for the Cape, Presbrey said. The concept behind these programs and efforts over the past 20 years is that it costs much less to keep a family housed than it does to keep them in a shelter or in a motel, Presbrey said.

HAC and the Community Action Committee each see between 20 and 30 people a day who are in need of emergency housing assistance, Presbrey and Fritzinger said. Without the money they had originally requested the agencies will only be able to help 100 families stay in their homes each year versus 700, they said. The state understands the disappointment of regional agencies but was required by strict federal guidelines to disburse the stimulus money throughout the state in the best possible way to prevent homelessness, Housing and Community Development spokesman Phil Hailer wrote in an e-mail to the Times.

In addition to the $200,000 for homelessness prevention services, the Cape — through the Duffy Health Center — will receive more than $600,000 for individual homelessness prevention efforts, Hailer wrote.

Check out Jake Berry in the Cape Cod Times today in reference to funding for homeless services. Chief, you are doing a bang up job handling the "homeless crisis" due to the "imaginary" poor handling and misdirection of funds. It must be terrible for you. I forwarded a copy of this email to Officer Michael Puntatonio. As you know, Mike Puntatonio told me how much he appreciated the homeless when he had to drag Frankie Atwood's dead body out of 75 Pearl Street.

Yes, Puntatonio did tell me to get some pictures of the homes of the officers...well at least one...suggesting "take a picture it will last longer". Thanks for all of your help. Hopefully, there will never be an investigation into the doings of this organization. A number of rapes and homicides were associated with the organization, and holding them accountable would hurt their feelings.

Americans are beginning to wonder about the quality of the recently elected leader of the free world. According to Rasmussen Polls, a mere 30% of American voters approve of the job Obama is doing, while 38% disapprove. Two of the most vocal Democrats in the Town of Barnstable are Taryn Thoman and Janet Joakim. Neither is anymore qualified to provide political direction to this socioeconomically deprived town.

Janet Joakim has nearly foreclosed on her home at 206 Donegal Circle. Taryn Thoman is currently foreclosing at 22 Mountain Ash Road of the village of Marstons Mills.

Consider the following correspondence in regard to the job performance of both Joakim and Thoman.

Dear Ms. Weil,

Please consider copies of emails sent to a number of parties in regard to public safety here in Barnstable. As you know, I complained vociferously about the quality of scurrilous and libelous comments posted on the Internet site of Sitting Barnstable Town Council President Janet Joakim in March of 2008. As you know, I was removed forcibly from the council podium. After broadcast of this incident, President Joakim began to malign me on her website. As you are aware, she advertises her personal website and her Cape Website Design Business from the President’s bench. I brought the postings placed on www.sevenvillagesblog.com to a brief meeting with you. You suggested that President Joakim was being “nice” and asking to meet with me as a courtesy. There have been a number of disturbing graphics, images and notation forwarded to my website, www.barnstablesafetynetwork.com. Some of the notation appears to be posted by President Joakim. Joakim clearly concedes that she is aware that I was diagnosed with a “mental illness’ from correspondence that I forwarded to her.

I finally responded to her request to meet with me when I was forwarded a number of disturbing graphics with the suggestion from the artist that I post them on my website. The graphics were sent anonymously and there was suggestion that they were created by a news publication known for producing satire. President Janet Joakim suggested that I created these graphics and accused me of harassing and stalking her. She suggested that I photographed her without her consent and developed these images and graphics because I am "ill". I am forwarding these images to you and to Chief Paul MacDonald of the Barnstable Police Department.

Because of the amount of fault and blame I have been expected to share, I contacted the Attorney General Martha Coakley’s Cybercrimes unit. A Trooper by the name of Cory Dahlstedt took my complaint and indeed suggested that these comments could be traced to a computer system and the originator notation placed upon my website could be determined after a comprehensive investigation.

I am hoping that the Attorney General’s Office can consider my request and establish a parameter for harassment here in Barnstable. President Janet Joakim appears to be unable to accept criticism for her agenda and policies, and is unable to accept responsibility for the compromise to the safety of children on Mountain Ash Road.

My concern was initially for the quality of “hateful blogging” and conduct unbecoming to the sitting town council president. My objective is now to protect myself from any further allegations made by public officials here in Barnstable. Trooper Dahlstedt agreed to review my website.

I have forwarded correspondence forwarded to you and your name to the Attorney General‘s Office for consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements

Janet Joakim, Taryn Thoman! Demanding respect for the biggest terrorists in town!

Taryn Thoman and Dennis Wilcox. Meet the Homeless!

(Home of Taryn Thoman and Dennis Wilcox at 22 Mountain Ash Road).

Taryn Thoman and Dennis Wilcox maintain several liens and attachements that jeopardize the mortgage of the "dream home" they purchased in 2001.

The following blogpost is placed on www.capecodliving.blogspot by Eric "Bugsy"Schwaab of Brighton and Hyannis. Schwaab has had difficulty playing nicely in the playground in the past. Once again, his mommy is letting him sling mud in the sandbox for a schoolmate who failed kindergarten. Why he insists on bullying for the "likes" of Taryn Thoman is the eighth wonder of the world!

Taryn Thoman has no loyalties, no allies, no money, and no conscience. Having Taryn watching your back has become the political kiss of death for Barnstable politicians. If it hadn't been for the inefficiency, incompetence, and unbridled arrogance of this bevy of dolts, President Janet Swain Joakim of Centerville would have been recalled!

I hoped that it wouldn't come to this.

I had hoped that we could engage our town government in an honest and open political debate regarding the town's sewer expansion plan. Greg Milne's call for an investigation of our activities by the Town Attorney at Thursday's Town Council meeting clearly demonstrates that no such debate is possible.

Barnstable's politicians make a habit of criminalizing those who disagree with them politically. We saw this in the Janet Joakim recall when an organizer was charged with trumped up allegations of harassment and the news of those charges were splashed across the front page of the local newspaper days before the vote. We're seeing it again now because of a few lawn signs.

Trumped up charges? Schwaab, what planet are you on, dear heart?

From www.capecog.com published by Gary Lopez:
Milne also said,

"It's only 200 homeowners"

who'll be driven from their homes.

Don't you have a problem with the forced displacement of one family? What kind of a ogre would cavalierly toss hundreds of folks out their homes?

Eric Schwaab and Gary Lopez have yet to concede that Taryn Thoman was charged fairly, tried according to the rules of law, and acquitted because of her casual connection to Tom Lynch, Assistant Town Manager of the Town of Barnstable.

Taryn Thoman of Marstons Mills has a long and tenuous history of harassing neighbors, town officials, and children in her village. If you didn't realize Barnstable was in the toilet before Taryn took on the issue of sewering, consider the Town of Barnstable completely in the sewer, now. What a potty mouth!

Dennis and Aidan Wilcox. Something sure smells fishy, around here!

Is There Toilet Training for the Homeless? I Guess Taryn Thoman has all the answers.

Consider the image of a "composting toilet" that resolves the "overflow" of the homeless into nearby wooded areas of Hyannis. For eight years, I researched a number of items related to Housing Assistance Corporation and the delivery of negligent services. The organization accepted not only a number of campaign contributions from public officials to expand substandard services, they accepted convicted felons, sex offenders and narcotics addicts. The organization declined to accept responsibility for billing third party reimbursement for unrecovered and unrehabilitated offenders.

Rick Presbrey denied that any such offenders were known to shelter services, until he, himself was caught with his "pants down". Clients continue to live in wooded areas of Hyannis without running water or access to lavatory facilities. The current argument before the Barnstable Town Council involved the efforts of Taryn Thoman to manage and maintain a self-proclaimed Political Action Committee to galvanize voters on sewer initiative.

Taryn Thoman is the so called "activist" that unsuccessfully attempted to recall President Janet Swain Joakim. She is currently threatening Councilor Milne of Precint 13 for his support of sewering betterments for Stewart's Creek. Thoman was supported by Eric Schwaab after Taryn Thoman was charged with criminal harassment in 2008. Thoman has nearly foreclosed on her 22 Mountain Ash Road home.

Taryn Thoman! World Class potty mouth! Mommie Dearest has the last word on toileting!

Democrats! What Sincere Compassion You Have for the Homeless!

Correspondence and documentation of influence peddling and the acceptance of bribes by public officials was forwarded to a number of law enforcement agents in Barnstable. Housing Assistance Corporation relied on a number of local and national political figures for funding and provision of polical favors.

The substandard and negligent operation of this agency resulted in the deaths of many homeless and non-homeless individuals. The organization not only continued with negligent medical and psychiatric services, executives planned lavish projects and extravagant homes for themselves on a parcel of property in neighboring Sandwich. Rick Presbrey lobbied the offices of Senator Kennedy and Senator Kerry for funding and favors before the Zoning Board of Appeals in Sandwich.

Any effort to resolve the issue was thwarted by leadership extending beyond municipal figures. When it was discovered that Chief John Finnegan and Councilor Roy Richardson were involved in impropriety, all efforts to bring executives to justice were stymied. The organization is responsible for compromising the health, welfare, and safety of homeless individuals and innocent children, women and men. There is no resolution on the issue to date.

David Daly, Esq. of counsel to the family of Osama bin Laden, and my family's attorney, was provided with a number of documents and materials to demonstrate the substandard nature of services. Daly stated litigation was meritorious. The organization utilized a number of both local and national contacts to cover-up impropriety. To date, there is no justice for victims.

Consider the correspondence provided below:

Senator Robert O’Leary
PO Box 61
Cummaquid, MA. 02637

Dear Senator O’Leary,

We missed your commanding presence at the Airport Commission Meeting of November 18th. I presented statistics on criminal behavior among the NOAH/PILOT population as quoted in a casual conversation by Bob Lynch the employment specialist. Mr. Presbrey refuted these statistics in particular the 25% Mr. Lynch stated have been incarcerated for sex offenses against children. I enclose a letter to Mr. Presbrey where where I have listed four pedophiles that harassed me at NOAH. The names provided already account for 11% of pedophiles and extremely dangerous criminal offenders. Obviously, I had no knowledge of the backgrounds of these individuals when they asked me for rides and money when I met them. I had been told by Paulette Health and other staff at NOAH that I should be more sensitive and tolerant of the criminal element and I was trying to provide services to these individuals and did so at my own risk. Henceforth I never had a comprehensive or complete list of serious offenders and I can reassure you that the names provided are only a minor fraction of individuals that I am aware have lesser offenses and have been incarcerated at facilities such as Cedar Junction and Framingham. Mr. Presbrey called my recitation of Mr. Lynch’s statistics irresponsible.

Mr. Lynch now states that he has no recollection of such conversation and has no specific nor exact knowledge of the population of criminal offenders or demographics in regard to such.. Mr. Lynch states that Judy Best called his wife Gisele from her cellular phone on the way home from the meeting to inform her of the events that transpired concerning her husband. Gisele Lynch is her Administrative Assistant at the Duffy Clinic. The Duffy Clinic is a spin off organization which was intitially provided with its economic funding from Housing Assistance Corporation. Please see the tax returns for all agencies provided on public record to the Airport Commission. For the benefit of all NOAH staff I have terminated all friendships regarding potential controversy per impending litigation.

Please forgive my tremendous sense of irresponsibility when demonstrating concern that innocent parties may suffer the way I did because of the gross negligence of the shelter. I am working as hard as I can to understand and tolerate the perspective you espouse for your constituency. It’s difficult for me to realize the inportance of protecting the human service industry at the expense of innocent children and others. I respect your right to differ in opinion and policy despite the threat to public health and safety. I realize the value of special interests to your political party, but it’s unconscionable to promote an industry that is ineffective at rehabilitation leaving society’s most vulnerable at risk.

Please review a sampling of the letters that are in the hands of my attorney and local officials. Please also review a number of official documents in regard to HAC/NOAH/Duffy suggesting that the majority of NOAH clients are either currently rehabilitated or not a general threat to the community. I have also enclosed a photograph of narcotics offenders freebasing in my backyard. Two of these offending individuals have indeed served jail time and all three have been in treatment for their offenses on numerous occasions. Out of deference to Mr. Presbrey I will admit that these three individuals all known to the Hyannis area for drug trafficking are indeed criminals with lesser violent offenses that many of the NOAH clients I encountered in my sojourn at and among NOAH.

I have noted that according to the Cape Cod Economic Development Commission, 60% of Cape Codders rank the area as their chosen residence because of Safety Issues. I recall the overwhelming mandate of November 5 against a Proposition 21/2 Override.

I appreciate your insistence on representing all citizens especially the disinfranchised. I am unsure that pyromaniacs, pedophiles and recidivist narcotics offenders deserve the same consideration and deference at the expense of the innocent. Nevertheless, I respect your right to lobby for their interests. I will be throwing my support next year to a more conservative candidate who represents the old fashioned homespun value of commonsense and I will be encouraging others to do the same.

Best wishes in your re-election bid and for your unwavering commitment to the sovereign rights of the criminal element.

Sincerely,

Mary Clements
