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.

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,

So Just What Happened at Cape Cod Hospital, Anyway?

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.

...And will the DEA Help?

Consider the correspondence forwarded to Special Agent Lewis of the DEA.

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

Things Are Looking Up!

From "On Trust in the Heart" by Seng-t'san (d.606)

Pursue not the outer entanglements

Dwell not in the inner void

Be serene in the oneness of things

And dualism vanishes by itself.

I will be back in Barnstable, new apartment on August 19, 2010. With much gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Syed Moosvi, MD. The children of Barnstable will be much better off when the quality and standard for safety improves. We are starting with how things are done in the Barnstable Court System.

Cape Cod: Not Always an Idyllic Place!

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.

Forget Me Nots!

Thanks for all of your emails and comments, especially the brownbrigade. I've written to the Board of the Bar of Overseers, The Attorney General, Scott Brown, who wrote back!, and the US Attorney, Michael Loucks, and Carmen Ortiz wrote back! There is an allegation of judicial impropriety in the Barnstable District and Superior Courts.

Plus, I have the world's best doctor, Syed Moosvi, MD. He's worth the time and effort and has been a lot of help with everthing that has happened to me!

Better Days Ahead for Barnstable!

Today is a day to remember the beauty of Barnstable. I'm working on a new campaign to elect Senator Scott Brown. Many of my postings will be reorganized. Older posts involving public safety are being rearranged to demonstrate the need for change in Barnstable and beyond.

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake,

Citizens for Open Government: Crashed and Burned!

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"!

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?

Gimme Shelter

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.

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?

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!

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?

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!

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.

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.

Another BORING rant.

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.

She might be angry, but she’s no rat. Nice try.

Thanks. It looks like they want you to hand over your rights to your private road. Don’t do it!

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
