Note the number of complaint letters written to Livia Davis of Housing Assistance Corporation in regard to expansion of negligent services on "Ole Cape Cod". Livia Davis was developing an experimental farm project for over a decade devoted to convicted felons in the Town of Sandwich. The schematic plan was modeled after her grandfather's Moltrup Farm, in Denmark.
Livia Davis, Rick Presbrey, and Tom Brigham lobbied for the 11.5 million dollar project complete with two $600,000 homes, for executives, on the site. The majority of serious felons were to placed at the Mildred's Chowder House/Fish Landing to be screened into the new and improved project in Sandwich. Davis and Presbrey promised the Town of Sandwich that they would return unrehabilitated, unrecovered offenders to Hyannis. Substantial documents and records were forwarded to my family's former attorney, David Daly, Esq. Daly was also of counsel to the family of Osama bin Laden.
On September 12, 2001, Housing Assitance Corporation held their Annual Meeting at the Radisson Hotel, owned by Stuart Bornstein. Demonstrations were underway in front of Pakistani owned convenience stores and other controversial establishments continued. Rick Presbrey and Livia Davis declined to cancel the event. A homeless man was ejected from the Annual Meeting after publicly disrupting and complaining about services at the local shelter. Edith Springer, theorist in Harm Reduction was the keynote speaker.
There were a number of firings and dismissals after the organization was proved lying to public officials and accepting campaign contributions from political candidates. Livia Davis and Tom Brigham, beneficiaries of the socialist farm project now work in homeless policy development for Governor Deval Patrick. These dejected, dismissed, and incompetent executives now provide advice to a friend and confidante of the greatest terrorist ever known.

Dear Chief Finnegan,
I had an opportunity to attend the Barnstable Human Service Needs Committee Meetings and in particular the meetings at Barnstable Airport when the Assistant Town Manager Joellen Daly accompanied by Cheryl Bartlett of Community Action of Cape Cod and Islands, Judy Best, RN, FNP and Rick Presbrey of Housing Assistance Corporation proceeded to secure the Mildred’s Chowder House for renovation of a new and improved shelter with expanded facilites based on success with the PILOT House Project.
Ms. Best challenged my insistance that the original six clients had not yet been rehabilitated and that there were extreme difficulties with the clientele and unreasonable burdens placed on local law enforcement and residents. Expansion of the current industry appears to be an unwise and foolhardy endeavor considering the challenges already faced by the afflicted clients, quality of providers, and the economic base related to the tourist climate of Cape Cod. Ms. Best tried to have me excluded from speaking at the meeting and when I was allowed to voice my concern, she disputed that 72 North Street was indeed a crack house.
Please note the photographs I have included of Mr. Edward Reed of Hyannis a known drug dealer and outspoken vocal advocate of the “wet shelter” freebasing cocaine in my back yard. I apologize that the pictures are dark however I was using a long rang focal length lens that would not allow me the benefit of a larger aperture permitting more exposure nor considering the circumstances would I have been able to use a flash. The blonde woman is named Barbie and is a resident of the shelter. There is a spoon in her hand and the other gentleman Perry that deals drugs in my building with Mr. Reed lit something on fire. They used the narcotics for approximately 3-5 minutes, drank the alcohol in the brown paper bag, smoked cigarettes and then ducked out very quickly as you will see in the photographs. I overheard “Perry” ask “Barbie” if she “felt better now?” Barbie was in the clinic the following day to see Mary Hettich, RN, FNP.
I would suggest once again that the clients of the Duffy Clinic are not rehabilitated and present a general menace to the community. The local NOAH shelter and its associated Duffy Clinic have imposed on so many vulnerable and unsuspecting residents and members of the community. The adamant refusal of the local human service provider to accept responsibility for its clients will transfer to the opposite site of town and remain a threat to the soon to be renovated downtown area. The narcotics industry thrives in settings of active commerce and access to transportation and will compound Hyannis tourist industry by now involving an airport and a major hotel.
I initially made a police call in regard to Mr. Reed et al. that went unattended. I made the call on the non-emergency line and there was no response to my request to have an officer respond to trespassers in the back yard of 72 North Street. When your department declined to respond to the call I photographed the individuals in question using narcotics. This was in the window between the time the airport commission delayed the decision to give the Mildred’s Chowder House to HAC/DUFFY/CACCI for an expansion project. Please refer to the minutes of the Barnstable Human Service Needs Task Force where Ms. Best voices concern over peace and justice issues. Please note she disputed my perceptions at the meeting that the drug problem in Hyannis is really this bad. Ms. Best states publicly that she had no idea that 72 North Street where she maintains several clients really is a crack house. The photographs were taken in this interval between the delay of the approval and the final airport meeting on the issue on September 17. Please note Alan Burt’s Letter to the Editor in the Barnstable Patriot that I have enclosed for your perusal. Several reformed narcotics offenders that have never been patients of Judy Best analyzed the enlarged photograph and explained freebasing to me. They pointed out the drugs and associated paraphernalia as indicated in the photograph. I was willing to believe the folks in question were just “sitting at the round table of Camelot doing justice for justice sake”. It must have been an “amazing experience”.
I finished up the roll by photographing some lovely sunset scenes around the crack house where I make my home. The two recreational vehicles in the back of my building have housed summer residents on the property. As you can see, there is a DO NOT DISTURB sign in the window of the maroon van and drug dealers frequent this particular area. Sometimes it frightening to go out to the parking lot or to the garbage dumpsters to throw away trash, but other than fearing for my life, I’m accustomed to living in danger. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the many times the police department had responded to constant calls, I just live with the constant uncertainty of not knowing whether any particular crack offender is going to be annoyed because I dare to breath his air space. It makes it difficult to make future plans.
Last week my neighbor Glenda McMullen, a convicted felon, friend and client of Mr. Edward Reed and a current crack cocaine offender thought I was “talking to myself”. She was hostile and knocked on my door. She refused to believe that I was talking on the telephone, but “ if I was, that was no excuse for my ‘talking about her.” I was talking about how negligent the organization was on a cellular phone with a friend. I hadn’t even mentioned Glenda’s name. Shortly after I went shopping for groceries and she stole my groceries as I carried them from my car to the door.
My immediate plans if I make it are to move to a town where I’m less likely to get killed. In closing, I have included some extra photographs I took around the back of the building. You will see the spot where clients sleep with blankets in an alcove. I used to ask the police department to remove the folks. Sometimes they were drunk and high, and smoking cigarettes and had candles. I used to be afraid of fire. Now I don’t care anymore. My drop from my bedroom window is quite high. I would not survive the fall in a fire. But it’s not worth a nightly call to the police department to come help the imaginary people the really aren’t rehabilitated. There are times when I can’t even remember the quality of life I had before I came here to Hyannis. The residents and business owners have voiced their concerns about offenders being relocated to their neck of the woods. Wisely, some public officials and potential candidates are questioning the prudence of an expansion of the industry to this area. I’m supposed to look the other way and hope nobody gets burnt, raped, molested and killed over near the airport. After all, Livia Davis and Judy Best have both told me this is “None of your business!” “Just stay out of it! You’ve got your own issues!” After living for two years in Hyannis, she can sure say that again.
Sincerely,
Mary Clements
