Harvard Trash for Wildlife August 24, 2009

Harvard Nourishes City Wildlife
This is the latest example of Harvard's negligence regarding rodent control in the City of Cambridge. It is a long term problem which City employees and residents spent many hours trying to address. But Harvard is exempt from encouraging rodents on their property. Is this a result of the City Manager's misguided policies to permit Harvard to exist as a separate entity exempt from city and state laws? Restricting City police from enforcing city ordinances and state laws may allow drug dealers and under age drinking to thrive on Harvard property. But it does little to encourage respect for the Constitution and laws of the land. It encourages elitism and a feeling of entitlement to Harvard affiliates to be above the laws of man. These images were taken at about 5:00 PM on Sunday August 16, 2009. After almost three weeks of complaints to the City Rodent Control officers, Harvard residents of 85-95 Prescott Street continue to leave trash available for city wildlife. In July 2009 Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates accessed Harvard's Old Boys Network. He called upon the President of the US (a Harvard Lawyer), the Governor of MA (a Harvard lawyer), the District Attorney of Middlesex, the Attorney General of MA (married to a supervising Cambridge police officer), and the Mayor of Cambridge to have the most famous arrest for disorderly conduct in the history of the world, dismissed before arraignment. It appears that the same Old Boys Network allows Harvard to remain unaccountable to attracting rodents to their property. They already used three special campus cops to intimidate me. Stopping to ask me if I was taking pictures is one thing. But to actively harass me for a week after I explained why I was taking pictures, that is a felony violation of state and US laws. MA Civil Rights statute (MA Gen Laws, Ch. 265, Sec. 37

; and Title 42 US Code Ch. 1983,

Title 42 Ch. 1985

. Knowing that Harvard remains above the laws of man and unaccountable for violations of city, state, and US laws it is unlikely that any of their employees or police officers will be restrained from continuing to abuse their privileges and powers granted by the state government and the MA taxpayers. Harvard's Old Boys Network is alive and well even with the first female President of Harvard running the network.
The Cambridge City Council spent many hours discussing and rewriting the city ordinances to try to control the rodent population of the city. They spent taxpayer funds purchasing new barrels and declared manners and times in which trash may be stored and placed out for collection. All of their efforts remain meaningless, an exercise in futility due to the Old Boys Network which rules the USA. Is this the change that Obama brought to the White House?

Harvard Residents and Unsecured Trash August 12, 2009
Creative residents find another inappropriate place for their trash. Contractors employed by Harvard Real Estate working in 85-95 Prescott Street brought a tool box for their workers. Alas residents perceived it as a small dumpster closer to the door. Even with a sign identifying it NOT as a dumpster, Harvard affiliates were unable to read the sign now that others found the door to the real dumpster. This image was taken at about 12:30 PM on Wednesday August 12, 2009. At 6:00 PM it was unmoved.

DUMPSTER LOADING PRACTICE
Monday July 27, 2009 at about 7:05 AM this truck landed outside of my window and unloaded this huge green dumpster. The truck drove away. While I was wearing ear phones working on audio the driver came back, uploaded the dumpster and took it away. At about 11:15 AM he returned and again unloaded the dumpster. About 30 minutes later he returned and again uploaded it and took it away. He did not return a third time. Here's my question. Was the driver practicing? Was he just doing it to make noise and to annoy me? I was able to take these still photos which do not include the sounds of the uploading which is not very inspiring or danceable. On Tuesday July 28, 2009 at about 7:05 AM the company truck appeared with a dumpster and dropped one again. At about 7:25 AM a truck appeared and took it away. Then at about 1:45 PM another dumpster was dropped. At about 2:05 PM the truck appeared and picked up the dumpster. I called to the Cambridge Department of Public works to inquire what was going on. A DPW employee referred me to the Department of Traffic and Parking, which issues permits for dropping dumpsters. I was unable to get through their voice mail to a real person for the man in charge or his emergency referral person. I left a message for the deputy of the department. I also called to the C. J. Mabardy Company which is in Cambridge. The receptionist asked my name. I did not want to give it for fear of having one of their employees come and beat me up. It is a "removal" as in trash company. I said I would call back which I did. I finally spoke with their point man for directing their dumpster deliveries. He told me that the dumpster was dropped at the location under direction of the construction project manager. He was able to determine that it was from the renovation construction of the high school, one and one half blocks away. I did not say that I knew they needed a permit to drop their dumpsters no less their drawers. I asked how long it was going to continue. He said he did not know, but that it was only for the "initial demolition." That meant that after they knocked down whatever they were knocking down there would be no more dumpster drop-offs under my window. On Wednesday July 29, 2009 there was no drop off at 7 AM as there were on the previous two days. On Friday July 31, 2009 the company dropped off a dumpster at about 7:20 AM and picked it up at about 7:50 AM.
