  LETTER JUST SENT TO THE STATE DEP, ENDANGERED SPECIES AND LEVESQUE ASSOCIATES OF WESTFIELD.

Bullshit to read

Hi Ryan, I hired you if you remember? first, Derrick's new house. I spent the last 3 weekends moving his furniture while my wife was taking care of his 2 children. Yes, you have it all right, he's not going to be competing with the Levesque Associates team at all here in Wone else but no way, Richard, the scientist, said when he mentioned he was from Grandville at the DEP, they immediately askented to interview you, Ry

 The last words from David Foulis were everything was just waiting on you Ryan. That's wicked convenient for him, I guess. He is still waiting and waiting and being paid. Trump doesn’t like people like that –  Everyone says that’s what you can do when you’re the boss. I was guessing, trying to figure it out? You know some of us are stupid, when you deal with the all-powerful DEP, are they the powerful ones, then I asked myself??? nope, it’s Levesque’s, they are the all-powerful ones. Dah, while Mr. Foulis is keeping his tax payers waiting. Myself, I’m a stupid tax payer, keep that in mind no matter whether my son laughs or not. I paid every tax bill up there; I deduct it off my taxes. Not Derrick’s. As mentioned, I hold the Deed, in Derricks name but your preventing me from turning it over. My real lawyer will fix that. Earlier, I had assumed you were too busy hunting but no, my Richard theory rules. You took revenge on the wrong person. My son nor I did nothing to you. 

So, In the near future, I'm hiring a new firm, the CAD info I sent you from my hired surveyor – Smith, to make your job easy, my 2 soil tests I never saw the results from, the analysis reports from both testing’s, I need them. Probably done at Allied? Also, any other evidence you have which scientifically proves it's a wetland is welcome because I paid for it – what $8,000 dollars? I don’t always add well unless I have the figures in front of me. 

Next, there will be no more trespassing on my property. Twice my signs have been stolen so to let you know, only authorized people are permitted on the land now. In fact, I will forward this to David Paulson and David Foulis also, just so they know this land is under my cease and desist and their services will not be needed until I get a competent Scientist – if required to resolve this issue. Rob Levesque is formally fired.  Seeing I get this feeling I'm in an embezzling scheme, you all have to understand, "I asked for an investigation from the DEP", nothing - no one contacted me so this is to put everyone on notice that I'm conducting my own investigation and suspect wrong doing within the State of Mass. Anything I find, can and will be made public, it can and will possibly be held against anyone guilty of crimes in a court of law. Someone - something is very very unethical.  

I've asked several times in writing and again for the record, I've never seen a formal stamped - embossed seal from the State saying I have a cease and desist. Yes, I would like it, I’m demanding it. I hope the dates match my emails. It's been a freken pleasure dealing with everyone for the past almost year and a half while you destroyed my family relationships. If I don’t get a fast return Ryan, I will send it in registered mail. I will be hiring the correct attorney; I have to locate him or her. In the process. This could have all been avoided. 

Sincerely, Carl Hale 

 To start the story, you will go through all the pictures and descriptions in the coming pages to see it was all about my son's plan to accomplish his education, become an engineer and with my help, he and I were going to spend my remaining years as father and son partners working together, working on and managing large construction projects.  We had a right to do that but were stopped 10 years ago and now trying to pull it back together we are accused again. No I'm accused and the Conservation Commission has started the ball rolling.   Yes, we were going to build a home for him and a retirement area - downstairs, an inlaw apartment for his mother and I. By now my wife should be retired, we wanted to travel and spend the summers with them in Montgomery, I could work a little while retired but no, we were forced to change our plans.   All through Derricks college, both he and Jonathan his younger brother worked our landscaping business to help with education costs and this encouraged all of us to plan our futures.  Jonathan didn't have the construction drive in his education outlook so instead of wanting to be an engineer, he chose Accounting and is making out very well.  Derrick made out quite well also, 4 years RIT NY, was hired by Weeks Marine - NJ, worked in Canada, Guam, Hawaii and while in Hawaii, his plans were to come home and live. Our land problems in my opinion was a diversion to allow an attorney to develop an an area which should have never been developed but he knew people.As an attorney, he not only worked land but hired members of the Mass Wildlife - Fish and Game department for his private work. This prevented my son from coming home, living in his home town, Westfield Mass. This land purchased soon became a problem. The DEP and Natural Heritage departments stopped us cold in our tracks with a Cease and Desist. Again, this was here say.  Why?  I was told it was because Kevin went through a wetland with his driveway. Seeing we were in a community which the Developer said he may make it a gated community, was a community with Covenants. Seeing the whole area, all 7 lots were clear cut of timber, you would think the whole area would be posted and this was done 5 years prior to me arriving. Yes, I'm the stupid one, I will make a good monkey in the middle. With the Lawyers brother telling me giving that 18,000 dollars cash, he is sure some will go to Coke. ????  I had already been given paperwork from the town which was needed to have a driveway approved before I started. We had the rock wall repaired,had an opening for the driveway, and seeded the lot which had been previously graded by the developer. It was sloped so no water would stand, no water would flow on this land. The Natural Heritage Dept. agreed could be an apple orchard when we moved in. Keep in mind, I will include documents but out of 7 lots, the Natural Heritage dept. requested some unbelievable tasks out of me. As I completed maps, surveying, setting monuments, waiting for the Fish and Wild Life employee to Flagg the property's wetland, I had to rehire the Surveyor, add plot locations of installed concrete monuments. (Concrete posts marking building lot locations) and I had to had the wetland plotted on the map. Last, it had to be approved then recorded in the Hampton County Deeds. With all that, Derrick couldn't come home to work with me, we were stuck. As I tried to get the land cleared, the DEP also walked the land, said little to nothing about wetland. They all saw first hand what Kevin was doing and I believe they were there long before seeing this land was so wet, clear cut and endangered Species exist. They demanded the land be recoreded - plotted by me and I hadn't built or violated anything. Documents to follow.  Now 3 years had expired, Derrick's construction loan interest was not only expensive but the loan itself expiring. I had a loan still for education so I borrowed another 100,000 and Derrick paid off his loan with part of this money. We now have the Deed to the property. Derrick was working a big project in Perl Harbor and said I'm working under another PE so it will help when I take my test.  Working  under a PE in order to take his test is manditory so he said just a couple more years. He took his Fundamentals of Engineering and passed. Then he passed the PE test. He also met a woman, got married to her there then came home. Derrick was so lonely for his home. He had a job lined up previously but no home.  He interviewed with a company in Boston and got the job which was needed. He was planning on starting the house, working from home allot when it was finished. delete below,,,,,,Keep in mind I only planted grass, picked up loose rocks and mowed our lots which I had plans for. I had a marked wetland on the map but I hired Levesque, said I want to go with you, tell the storys and then we will talk about your work. I get a call, he took the soil samples the day before, he turned me into the DEP, told them I'm mowing wetlands and he said you have a cease and desist.  Feeling stuck at this point, I told myself here we go. I mentioned the drainage ditch dumping water over the mountain, he wanted to hear nothing. Levesque later asked me if I moved rocks, asked my son if we stole soil and wasn't saying much. I gave them a CAD disc, he used it, plotted out the land and he didn't like our lower plotted area for a shed or green house. Ryan, environmental scientist?? from Levesque's actually plotted out the driveway, told us we have to duplicate the wetlands and not saying anything - because we are mad, we ask for a narrow driveway, keeping it under 5,000 sf and it just seemed the firm I hired is just out to work with the state and fight us all the way. Derrick and I are furious with them. I think it was maybe in July or August, Ryan - having our CAD program, had to know, said your shed can't happen because your less than 200 feet from a river front. A stream which dries up after snow melt. Later we find it's 5 feet. He wants to design a huge bridge to go over this seasional stream. Fight after fight, we are into the bs for about $8,000 dollars now. My son travels, teaches, is a speaker at conventions for Engineers and he's working hard with 2 children now. When we started with Levesque, Derricks wife was expecting their first child, he wanted a home. His second just born on 01/01/2020. His wife mad at me for making him buy bad land and our relations very strained for a year. She wants a home so Derrick said Dad I have to buy a house. Can I blame him? I don't think so. I'm now responsible to pay the land off, and I have to pay Derrick back for 10 years of payments. We put the deed in his name, I can't sell the land, it's under a here say , cease and desist, I can't sell the land and if I do it will be for a loss - a big loss. SO,  Our "Developer" Kevin Walkowski, asked if I could get 18,000 cash and that would lower my sale price early on by $5,000 dollars. It was a pain, I had to sign at the bank, anti laundering regulations. What I'm about to display moving forward in my pages is evidence that there is corruption happening.Kevin Walcowski gave us covenants which he is not enforcing. Kevin actually needs to approve a persons home, part of the covenant rule, he just charged Lot - 1 owner $1,000 last year just to approve his home but he doesn't seem responsible in other areas.
