White line ?
On Sunday, March 20, 2011, I was taking some recycled stuff
to the garage and I noticed something different, out of the
corner of my eye, about the drive at the shared property line.
I noticed some white at the Property line. Earlier,as I was
looking out Scott's studio window, we saw a white X on one
of the spruce's at the property line, near our pond.
The X was facing us? Kobe had been barking a little earlier
that afternoon. He was looking towards the property line at
the drive. I saw Jesse walking up the drive from near our
shared property line. I didn't go out to check.
I walked up the drive to see what was there and
there was this 15 inch wide white stripe painted on
the drive, from left to right- we documented it.
I came back to the house and got Scott and he and
I walked up the drive. At 6:50 PM , Scott called the
Lower Saucon Township Police to report it. The line
appears to be painted with some sort of strange white
paint . We suspect it has some alter motive other than
establishing property lines.Under the circumstances,we
believe that Jesse Repash did it to harass us. The
Police arrived at 7:20PM, it was starting to getting
dark. Patrolman Eric Marth arrived first, followed by
Patrolman Werkheiser. We did most of thetalking with
Marth at first. We thought it was overkill that
Werkheiser was there also in another Patrol Car to
Investigate a white line. This was the 3rd time we
called the Police in the last 10 days. What we fund
a bit disturbing was that Werkheiser seemed too
familiar with the underlying circumstances.Again
we sensed something staged. He mentioned thathe saw
Jesse Repash at the Township Building. Jessewas there,
he said to meet with the zoning Officer.I recall
Werkheiser saying that that person was there on site
when the White line was painted. Later in a
correspondence the zoning officer Chris Granges,
denighed being there. As both Policeman were
standing near the property line with us,Jesse comes
storming out of his house and down the drive, all
jagged up and manic waving some papers. The Police
both hollered for him to get back in the house.Marth
went into the house to talk with Jesse and then
they
came out and both walked down the property line
discussing something. Werkeiser had commented that
it wasn't very neighborly that Jesse had not contacted
us earlier about painting the white stripe on the
shared road. His painting the stripe was to
simply heighten the tension he has continued to create.
I kept asking Werkeiser what the purpose of the stripe
was and he kept giving a reason about the property line,
he said he was an Engineer in the past. Hewas stating
something about he having been an engineer and the
earth moves-he wasn't making sense. He mentioned
something about "the crew" coming in to develop the
goat habitat-something like that. He seemed to be
rattled by our asking question. Like he was struggling
to stay on script and we were yanking his chain.
We believe he was lying and knew more, like it was a
set up of sorts. We told him that Jesse paints the
property line stake at the drive every
year. What we
both found disturbing was how indifferent Werkheiser
was. We wondered why he said "you could save
yourselves lots of trouble by putting in our own access
road and giving up the Right of way". He did what
appeared to be a staged observation of where that road
would go. We told him that was out of the question and
we have legal access and will not give it up and we
paid to have that macadam installed on the Repash
property. I told him that evenif we had our own road,
the property lines would not change so what was his
point. Werkeiser seemed way too familiar with some of
the details of the situation that gave us the
impression
that his visit was staged in Some way- two policemen
for such a minor inquiry. We told him that officer
Patrolman Winter told us recently not to report
Harassment,like theGolf balls we have found
(80 of them over time) because it would only
encourage more harassment. However they stopped
showing us since we reported it. Winter also told us
after we told him that we saw Jesse Repash at the
property line at dusk, facing us, with him holding
what appeared to be a video camera.Policemen that we
had contacted a Mediator last year and contacted the
Repashes to participate in Mediation and they refused
to go. We offered to pay for the whole thing and they
refused to go. They responded that they wanted us to
put in our own road. What we found strange was that
the Policemen told usthat Jesse was dealing with the
zoning officers because he was going to get 4 goats
and some bee hives. Considering the lack of upkeep
on their property,that isn't being done, we suspect
that he won't give the goats the proper care they
would need. What was also strange was that Werkheiser
had said the name of the zoning officer who was out
that day assisting the applying the white stripe.
We contacted the zoning officer and he said he was never
at our neighbor's property that day.
Just another day in Paradise?
Any suggestions????????
