The saga concerning the Edgewood Longears Safehouse continues without relief for the neighbors of this dung heap.
The 2nd zoning hearing was held on May 14 at 9:00 a.m. The Edgewood Longears Safehouse situation was the first item on the agenda and there were speakers both for & against the business. Consistent with their modus operendi, supporters for the place, at times perjured themselves and stretched the truth more than a little. One such instance was when a supporter who lives on Quiet Valley Loop states she lived "1/4 mile away from the rescue". The closest terminus of Quiet Valley Loop is 1.1 miles away and the farthest end is 1.6 miles away.
The woman, who stated she lived on Quiet Valley Loop, said that she didn't hear any noise from the donkeys. Well... gee.... you live more than a mile away, I guess you wouldn't hear any noise! Duh! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why!!!
Anyway, the Edgewood Longears Safehouse had about 6 or 7 supporters there to speak for them. Most of them did not live in our neighborhood, except for the guy with the llamas. He lives about 500-550 feet north on County Line. His neighbors aren't very happy with him either because of the llamas and the wreck he's made of his place. What's the saying? "Birds of a feather flock together."
Another of their supporters, Aleta, makes her living as a psychic. I've nothing against psychics and I believe that all people have a predisposition to psychic abilities, which explains "gut feelings", etc. However, this woman is known to stretch the truth. This is being said based upon her comments at the zoning hearing, which attempted to portray, to paint our neighbor, Gary, as a lunatic. The man is an engineer and is anything but loony. She portrayed him as being somewhat violent, "ranting & raving", "beating" on her door, "screaming" at her, etc. Uh... yeah.... right....
After hearing all those who signed in, the zoning commissioner stated we'd be notified of his decision in about a week. Today is day 7.... all are waiting on tenterhooks for the decision.
The past week, post hearing, has been very stressful but not because of the wait. It has been stressful because of the behavior and the comments of the Edgewood Longears Safehouse and their supporters. Some comments, which appeared on FaceBook, show they have a tendency towards violence and implied that they are going to take "armed" action against others. The comments were so upsetting that I broke protocol and sent an email to the zoning commissioner with a graphic of their comments. My husband called the Sheriff and reports were filed. If anything happens to any of us who oppose the Edgewood Longears Safehouse, they will be going there first in the course of their investigation.
Here are some of the comments, copied and pasted from the Edgewood Longears Safehouse FaceBook page. These comments have been saved as screen shot pics.
- Carol Huff Oh, so glad you DID get a tag number. Great job!! You can PM me and let me know how your call to the sheriff went. Luke and Joseph will be there later this afternoon to go over the plans with you. (Celeste will probably drop them off so your nosey neighbors don't see them.) I will text you when they head in your direction. I believe Luke said he is "armed and dangerous," whatever that means! LOL! He wanted me to ask you to go ahead and get the No Trespassing signs put up, too, so he can lower the boom if need be. You need signs on all sides. Just know that THIS WILL STOP. We have your back.
- Carol Huff Good, Dorothea. The sheriff said that gives you permission to "protect your property" in the event someone has any ideas not in your best interests. It also gives anyone "hired" by you permission to blast away and ask questions later. wink wink
- Rhonda Stock Carol, I talked with Luke this morning. He is very confident that he has everything under control. Twelve years as a bouncer in a New York City dive means he can handle just about anything. He's seen it all.
- Carol Huff Glad he's on our friends list. I wouldn't want to meet him in the dark... he's a scary person, but always on the side of those who have been wronged. Joseph has his own background going on, too. Do you know about him?
- Rhonda Stock I never met Joseph, but Luke told me about him. He's scary good! Didn't Celeste serve with him? I'm so glad these guys are animal lovers.
- Carol Huff I believe she did, Rhonda... in fact, I think they may have been involved together. I don't really know much about her other than she says she can shoot straighter than Joseph. I don't know and don't really want to find out. If I was the person causing this trouble with Dorothea and Andrew, I think I would pack up and move out of town. If all 3 of them get involved in this, hell is coming to town.
The Edgewood Longears Safehouse has crossed a very dangerous line, when they IMPLY that they are going to take "armed" action against people. I don't know what game they are playing, but it is a very dangerous game.
As previously stated the Sheriff was called. The first post was read by me and it was made eleven (11) hours prior to my reading it on May 16. The Sheriff's Department dispatched 2 units and 4 deputies to our home. Two deputies were shown the FaceBook posts and the other two walked the shared property line between our home and the property owned by Andrew Cross & Dorothea Lotter, the founders of the Edgewood Longears Safehouse. After some discussion, it was decided that I take whatever legal action is appropriate to ensure the safety of me & mine. Since that time, I've been carrying a sidearm on my property, whenever I am outside. I have also been sleeping with a sidearm on the nightstand. Like I said, they are playing a very dangerous game.

The Edgewood Longears Safehouse and its supporters give those participating in animal adoption and rescue a very bad name and a big black eye. They should be ashamed of themselves. They are nothing but bullies, who are attempting to take away our voice, our 1st Amendment rights to speak out against them... our right to LEGALLY PROTEST their presence in our formerly quiet neighborhood. The words of one of their supporters ring true, but they'll never truly understand them,
- Jules Balsiger when people start to understand they are on the losing side/the wrong side they just hold so tightly onto what they know out of fear/ignorance. These are childish actions and show that they are feeling desperate as they know they don't have a reasonable/logical leg to stand on. Be careful and be safe IMO people who do things like this should be publicly shamed - it's unfortunately the only way they will learn to grow the f-up.
Those words were said to be used against we the people who do not support this effort in our neighborhood. Our neighborhood isn't appropriate for this kind of operation, which should have a minimum of 10 acres, not less than 3 acres in a primarily residential area.
We believe we are in the right with regard to this issue. The Edgewood Longears Safehouse is showing their true colors with their bullying ways. We believe they are desperate and, like the current administration in Washington D.C., they are reassigning the blame for their failure to "the enemies", their neighbors.
Sadly, this may be "the only way they will learn to grow the f-up."

Nut case. U shouldn't log your trite probs on the web. it shows how loony you are. go to therapy. it will be time well spent
To start an entry by calling a rescue operation a dung heap makes you come across as, how should I say, a bit stinky?
You seem to spend much time hating those who do wonderful work. Why don't you start spending a bit of that time each day doing something helpful for another being? I'd say, start with 30 seconds per day, increase that by another 30 seconds each day. All the seconds add up. Life is short. Why not spend it helping those who are less fortunate? After all, when you recite "In God We Trust," what good do you think it does if you have a stinky heart? My advice: make your heart worth stealing. That's a monumental task for all of us.
Perhaps, if they cleaned up the manure, it would not be a "dung heap". Of course, thankfully, the County made them remove the estimated SEVEN (7) TONS of manure they had piled in their front yard.
Anonymous, how many tons are required in your estimation to make it qualify as a "dung heap"?
Jessica... whatever. The sick ones are next door.
