Sinkhole Syndrome (Take Heed, Fresno)

The City of Fresno repeatedly reminds property owners that they are liable to maintain the sewer and water lines on private property. As mentioned, structures throughout Fresno have not only been altered, they are now setting on top of and next to clamped sewer and water lines - carried out by the fake work crew that accompanies Public Works in the "secret" altering of the city water system. The group is not authorized or licensed to carry this out - no permits or inspections - massive building, safety, environmental and health code violations. Keep in mind that it is not city property where all the clamping has taken place. Also keep in mind that the City has gone to great effort to cover this up - having plat/parcel maps altered after the major alterations, as though things have always been this way. This is why there are no older records of Fresno.

We know that it costs approximately $3,500 - $5,000 to replace a broken pipe. The city always tries to prepare us before the cold weather because this is often when broken/burst pipes occur. Do you know what can happen if a pipe leaks? Check this out - another example of how the city has deceived its residents and tried to cover up the evidence in order to avoid taking responsibility for how they have jeopardized our lives.

Sinkhole experts say that, no, it’s no mystery– it’s bad sewer pipes. When you get a hole in a sewer pipe, sure, you might get leakage out in to the surrounding soil, but you also might get surrounding soil to enter the sewer pipe, which gets carried away to wherever sewage goes. If that goes on for a while, a hole in the earth develops, and lo! a collapse from above fills it in. Sinkhole. If there’s a nearby manhole cover (entrance to sewer pipes) near a sinkhole, it’s a smoking gun.

The Sinkhole Syndrome

By Chris Mayer

May 8, 2007

Last year was the worst year for sinkholes and sewage spills in U.S. history. This year is shaping up to be even worse.



What caused them? I'll tell you in a minute. But here is a hint: The answer will make investors in water-pipe makers a lot of money.

In March, I attended Gabelli's Second Annual Water Infrastructure Conference, held in Manhattan. Of all the presenters, Thomas Rooney, president of Insituform Technologies, had the most eye-opening story. He told attendees about the looming crisis arising from our decaying

water and wastewater infrastructure – namely, leaking and breaking pipes.

But more importantly, he gave us some tangible evidence that shows just how bad things are getting. The most important was the record number of sinkholes and sewage spills in the U.S. last year. Leaking or breaking pipes are the biggest causes of these things in our cities.

A water pipe that leaks (or breaks) either allows dirt to get in the pipe or allows sewage to get out. If dirt gets in the pipes, then the pipes carry the dirt away. Eventually – even if the pipes carry only tiny amounts of dirt away each day – this weakens the ground above the pipes.
This ground lies below – and supports – our roads and buildings. Sooner or later, the ground gives way, creating the gaping sinkholes that swallow up cars and houses and even lead to people's deaths. One such sinkhole in Los Angeles was 30 feet deep and shut down a stretch of highway. Last December, a massive sinkhole in Portland swallowed a big-rig truck. Another in Grand Rapids, Mich., cut off the water supply to residents, who then had to live under a "boil water advisory."

That's scenario one. Conversely, sewage may leak out. If sewage leaks out, then you have major health issues in the surrounding environment. Last year alone, more than 3.5 million people became ill from E.coli and other toxins released from over 40,000 sewage spills in the U.S., according to the EPA. Then there are the beaches.
More than 1.5 million people get sick in Southern California every year because of bacterial pollution in the ocean – much of it coming from broken pipes, according to a study by UCLA and Stanford. And in Hawaii last year, Waikiki Beach had to close after 40 million gallons of raw sewage flowed into the water after a water main pipe broke.

SINKHOLES BECOMING MORE COMMON

Feb 8, 2007
PORTLAND, Ore. — After a sinkhole swallowed a sewer-repair truck here on the day after Christmas, the truck’s crew crawled to safety, muddy and mystified.



Last summer in Irving, Tex., a 2-year-old boy disappeared near a sinkhole. One theory was that he was kidnapped. Another was that he was lost in the sewer system that had broken open and caused the collapse.

In December, firefighters in Brooklyn rescued a grandmother carrying groceries who fell into a hole that opened beneath her on a sidewalk. And in Hershey, Pa., a damaged storm drain caused a six-foot-deep sinkhole in Chocolate Town Park, nearly sinking the town’s New Year’s Eve celebration.

Local and state officials across the country say thousands of miles of century-old underground water and sewer lines are springing leaks, eroding and — in extreme cases — causing the ground above them to collapse. Though there is no master tally of sinkholes, there is consensus among civil engineers and water experts that things are getting worse.

Unsolved Murder Puzzle (Fresno, CA)

William ("Bill") Wyatt Polzin

June 30, 1946 to February 16, 1994

Bill was shot/killed when he stepped outside his shop one evening - to date this has remained an unsolved murder. It appears that providing information behind this, is nothing less than suicide and will likely remain an unsolved murder, because it seems to be linked to the City of Fresno and their fake work crew - behind 45+ yrs of "secret" replacement of the city water system.

Parcel-by-parcel, block-by-block, every structure rebuilt on top of clamped sewer/water lines.  Streets widened; alleys narrowed; blocks made smaller; relocation of storm drains, fire hydrants, utility poles, etc.  Unless done in-between sales or under the guise of "renovations" ~ God help the occupant. 

Olive Ave. was an especially dangerous place to own property - where the bigger alterations would take place in order for the illegal tie-ins to be connected to the main line. This, my friends, is what was taking place at the time of Bill's murder .  There is no record of it ~ because it was not authorized.  No permits or inspections.  The evidence is behind the altered public records and "planted" neighbors who served as "credible witnesses" that none of this took place.

Method:  Prior to any alterations, the area is first "planted" with occupants who will later serve as "credible witnesses" that nothing took place. Below is a diagram that basically shows the layout of where the Polzin tragedy took place.

 

The attorney for Bill's estate was David A. Silva, atty. Mr. Silva's office was located next door to WGS, the self-proclaimed mastermind behind all of this. 








Mr. Silva is the also the attorney who, after making sure that ties among my siblings had been severed, conspired with WGS in the preparation of fraudulent legal documents for my family's properties (# 2 and # 3) appointing WGS, "Successor Trustee" despite an IRREVOCABLE TRUST!  (With plans for my final departure underway, #4 was also on the menu.)

Prior to Bill's death, DM lived with RJD at # 7. (RJD used to live near WS [#8] in Chicago many years earlier.) DM moved out of # 7 and met HM - they were renting the corner property during the time of Bill's murder. Then they relocated, 1 mile away. RJD's next roommate was Don, who died; RJD was the beneficiary of Don's estate. RJD's next roommate was/is Frank, whose health began to deteriorate. Frank's ill mother died there (# 7); his father died at home shortly after. RJD coerced Frank into severing ties with family and appointing RJD beneficiary of Frank's AND his family's estates (as WGS basically did to me while I was being administered unknown chemicals without my knowledge.) After these same alterations took place to # 7, RJD and Frank bought a building on Olive 2 blks east, where the same alterations took place (under the guise of "renovations.") Then they moved 1-2 miles where the same alterations took place. House (# 7) was sold to Dan. WS (#8) sold his house and moved 1/2-mile away; DM & HM bought #8. Dan (#7) died; RJD handled the estate. (The rumor that Dan was "suicidal" is a lie.) Frank and RJD then relocated to WI where Frank has since been hospitalized. (Much more re: RJD.) In-between this, Linda seems to have "vanished." My point is that it appears to be a never-ending nightmare among the "regulars."

  Bill was surrounded by the "regulars." Immediately after his death, the reconstruction of his property began. Sidewalk was also torn up with sewer/water line alterations tied into alterations on the corner property - at the same time of city street alterations. Yet to this day, Bill's former neighbors continue to deny that anything unusual went on at the time of the tragedy. They further deny street work, fire hydrant or storm drain relocation, street lights or utility pole relocation. They deny any destruction or reconstruction to Bill's property when in fact, it was MAJOR reconstruction in addition to the underground utilities on both properties being connected and tied-into the main line, headed beneath the tree median that was installed between the properties.

  
RJD kept in touch with his deceased roommate's (Don) mother, Gay. Public records show that David Silva, atty handled the estate for Gay as well.


  Keep in mind that Gay had other children. From what I recall, they lived in Bakersfield; I recall the fighting and arguments among family members - refusing to visit Don. A scene that has since become all-too familiar when linked to people who intend on seizing control of the assets. (Also odd is that I do not find David Silva, atty, listed in phone directories - who refers him to such clients? As a matter of interest, it was when I reported him to CA BAR Assn. for fraud he secretly closed his office, never to be seen again. Since disbarred with several cases pending against him.)
 

As mentioned above, DM and HM bought #8, giving them a clear view of my home (#4.) With "planted" tenants occupying # 2 and # 3 - our properties were stripped, gutted, reconstructed. Naturally, neighbors and tenants claimed that nothing took place. Residential street was widened, which they also deny.

Not long ago my floor was torn out and replaced with trash; central air/heat ripped out and replaced with trash entailing asbestos; even ducts torn out so the filth and asbestos pour in through the vents. This was near the time Les G. stopped by - dropping off a medical book and telling me I would be needing it. In the past he carried on about how cruel and evil he was, a member of the Aryan Brotherhood who robs and kills. This is the same person who, 3 yrs ago, was helping the "auction people" go through the estate of Bill Polzin's mother, smirking that no one ever figured out who murdered Bill. Auction people are linked to RJD, also an "auction person" and very much a part of what was done to my family, our properties and me.

Albert Perez owner of the Laundromat (# 1) was also set up for annihilation. Lied to by the same city risk analyst - never seen again. Property stripped; gutted; torn apart and rebuilt differently after sewer/water lines were replaced - unauthorized. More altered plat/parcel maps. Signature on new deed to Laundromat looks like the same signature I saw WGS forge (trace) on an insurance application, laughing, "You can't live for the dead." New owner of Laundromat lives next door to JCW - who "acquires" property by fraud and forgery. JCW is the person who said he planned on taking over my family's 3 properties as well as the Perez Laundromat, as I would be meeting the others, including his former wife (who has not been seen in years - signatures verified by handwriting expert as forged), "IN ANOTHER WORLD!"

The City of Fresno called me a "liar" about the horrendous destruction, loss of properties and annihilation of my family members in order to secretly replace sewer and water lines behind these properties. Their own sewer layout verifies EXACTLY what they did; the structures speak for themselves. So they had a Restraining Order issued against me - I was called "crazy" and "liar" as they turned the tables and deemed ME a danger to THEM! They further prohibited me from reporting this to ANYONE else at the City of Fresno. Added to the other fraudulent lawsuits and R.O. by "planted" tenants, it is ME who appears the criminal. Here, you can see that it is not me who is lying - this is a copy of the sewer layout 1 blk east of the Polzin property. It is further evidence of Olive Ave. being widened as well as the accompanying sewer/water line replacement that the City of Fresno is denying.

And here, you can see connections among some of the people who seem to intertwine throughout all of the above.

Reporting this turned out to be the biggest crime of all. Lies, anger, name-calling, Restraining Order, followed by death threats. The focus remains on discrediting me by using by behavior while being poisoned as this took place on my family's and neighbor's properties. That is how the City and County of Fresno justify disregarding my reports. Regardless of what I say or provide as evidence, it is not allowed. Because the truth is not allowed.

Aerial Views Altered / Cover-Up in Fresno, CA

In an ongoing attempt to deceive the public, while covering up one of the most barbaric operations in history, aerial views of Fresno, CA have been altered.

Old directories, maps have also been altered to cover up 45+/- yrs of altering structures throughout town, parcel-by-parcel. Various structures completely removed as others expanded and shifted down in a "ripple effect." Patched, re-built and new construction now setting on top of clamped sewer and water lines. Utility poles relocated and reconnected. All done without permits or inspections. With no record on file for any of this taking place, disclosure laws being kicked aside, new deeds entailing new measurements, structures continue being sold as "original" to unsuspecting buyers.

This is why there are no older records of Fresno, CA. Very few photographs remain - many are scanned and altered to make it appear as though things were always as they are now.

It appears that our water source is being diverted. Concern should also be given regarding Fresno and other cities in the central valley possibly being set up for a major disaster. With the financial and real estate fraud behind this operation, it would benefit the very people who are behind this. People who talk of development where it has been prohibited all these years; one even boasted about the decades he put into breaking water laws in order to achieve that very goal.

Upon uncovering this operation, Fresno's Dept. of Public Works filed a Restraining Order against me - committing perjury to discredit their own UNALTERED records, which verify EXACTLY what they are doing - further prohibiting me from reporting this to anyone at the City of Fresno other than the senior risk analyst who lied to keep this covered up. Death threats (by ??) followed if I continue to report this. Considering the trail of ID theft, missing persons, suspected homicide that accompanies this operation - I take that threat very seriously.

Title Company Fraud / Corruption - Fresno, CA

With no permits or inspections on record for the felony altering / re-construction taking place throughout Fresno, CA, and disclosure laws being disregarded, patched, damaged and re-built structures continue being sold as "original" to unsuspecting buyers. This is where the altered plat/parcel maps are taking place. New deeds cover up the illegal altering/re-construction as well as changes to property lines. Any questions or requests for previous lot information results in being told that the information is "no longer available." Hence, no older records of Fresno.

This is a barbaric operation that sometimes entails heinous crimes to innocent residents in order to carry out, in some cases, never seen again. Also being recorded are fraudulent and forged legal documents as well as fraudulent financing information.

It is time that residents of Fresno learn the truth.

Blocks made smaller to carry out felony operation - Fresno

In order to carry out the secret altering of the city's water system throughout town, streets are widened; blocks are made smaller. Such as Olive Ave. - west end of the Tower Dist. There are no records, permits or inspections for the street widening that went on - not even for the major damages and reconstruction to street-lined properties. No record for the altered property lines - instead, parcel maps altered to make it appear that things were always this way.

Take a look at the other end of this block, where more unauthorized alterations took place in preparation for cutting this street back i.e., relocated street lights, utility poles, AT&T's junction box. Once again, no record for any of it - only more lies and altered records to cover up the evidence. Newcomers remain oblivious.

Front lawns are cut back; alleys narrowed and/or closed off to compensate. As done on my block, the garage next to the alley went from a single to a double and extended into the alley, which narrowed the alley. Utility poles were moved from easements into the alley where the garbage bins once stood, making it appear that things were always this way.

With all 4 sides of blocks throughout town being cut back, various structures are removed as others are systematically altered and shifted in a "ripple effect." All done without permits or inspections; massive health, environmental, safety and building code violations. Storm drains, fire hydrants, street lights all relocated, yet no record for any of it. No record for major reconstruction to structures - only more cover-up (directories, aerial views, plat/parcel maps.) This is why there are no older records of Fresno, CA.

http://fresnorealestatefraudtheft.blogspot.com/2008/05/shhhh-its-secret-fresno-ca.html

Regarding the above photo - past and present neighbors have verified the relocation of utility poles down the entire alley; others know it would have been impossible for the ones along the street to have been there - until 15 yrs ago, there was no curb or mow strip on the other street shown in this picture. This is NOT how things were set up. Yet according to city records, the poles have been standing there for decades. Simply altering records is all it takes - no one questions anything.

This is a massive fraud operation, entailing heinous and barbaric crimes to innocent people in order to vacate property. "Planted" neighbors and tenants eliminate any witnesses to wrongdoing.

From one end of town to the other. Repeat - The entire city has been turned inside out behind our backs, yet right under our noses. To date, altering plat/parcel maps has been enough to fool the public - even the so-called "experts. With disclosure laws kicked aside, these damaged and shoddily-rebuilt structures now setting on top of clamped sewer and water lines, continue being sold as "original" to unsuspecting buyers.

To the victims of David A. Silva, atty

LEARN THE TRUTH! He should have never been allowed to abandon and destroy more lives as he did. http://marlalk.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/david-a-silva-atty-fresno-ca/

David A. Silva, atty, was reported to the CA State BAR Assn. in 2004, for corruption, specifically, conspiring with Wilbert G. Swieso, CLU, ChFC in preparation of fraudulent legal documents. Despite an Irrevocable Trust, Mr. Swieso was appointed, "Successor Trustee" of my family's properties He would fill that role if "something happened to me." Such as me being deemed "crazy" and/or "dead." As long as the chemicals continued being administered to me without my knowledge or consent, exploiting me for being "crazy" was being carried out beautifully over the years. Unbeknownst to me, preparations for my final departure were also underway. Click below - learn about the fraudulent insurance policy that covered "mental illness" - appointing Mr. Swieso, beneficiary - no one would have ever known the truth:

http://fraudinfresno.blogspot.com/2009/03/legal-question.html
http://marlalk.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/wgss-preparations-for-my-final-departure/

Mr. Silva and Mr. Swieso were partners - sharing clients back and forth "for all their estate planning needs." Behind their facade was an operation that entailed vacating private property in order to alter the sewer/water lines. Trail of ID theft, forged documents, illegal conversion of assets speaks for itself.

It was in 2004 when I finally got to the bottom of what had been done to my family members, our properties, belongings and me in order to pull this off. It was when I finally reported Mr. Silva to CA State Bar Assn. that he secretly closed up his office and absconded with clients' money and files, never to be seen again? At the very same time CA State Bar Assn. insisted that Mr. Silva had done nothing wrong or intentional, Mr. Silva packed up and fled!

Prior to Mr. Silva's "departure" he knew I had uncovered Winslow's fraudulent legal documents - he seemed scared. Did he panic when I later uncovered the bigger picture behind those documents? Felony altering of the city's sewer, water, and power systems, entailing massive destruction and horrors. Or did "something happen to him."

It was not expected I would survive this nightmare. My family's properties had been torn apart and haphazardly patched back together; assets distributed; all ties severed. Unfortunately, my survival has not been the "blessing" it first appeared to be. My reports are not wanted and in most cases, not allowed. Uncovering one of the biggest and most corrupt operations in the history of CA, has resulted in being sabotaged and discredited with every attempt to seek help or report this. My reports seem to backfire, making ME the criminal or the one in the wrong. Regardless that Mr. Silva's actions were linked to suspected homicide of my family members, loss of our properties, burglaries, VIN altering and attempted murder of me, reporting Mr. Silva was of no use. He was pardoned - the CA State BAR Assn. merely deemed his actions, "an accident - no harm done." Further correspondence was not even acknowledged. Mr. Silva was free to continue.

My neighbor on the east was targeted as well. Property dismantled and patched back together after sewer/water lines replaced in alley. This neighbor was never seen again - new deed looks forged; new owner is next door to Mr. Winslow (linked to verified forgeries and "missing" person/s.) Reporting Mr. Winslow's forgeries, bank fraud, and more - disregarded.

Neighbor across the street to the west was targeted in 1994, same group of people involved - same sewer/water line alterations and reconstruction/altering of property. William ("Bill") Wyatt Polizn - unsolved murder. Mr. Silva was the attorney who handled Mr. Polzin's estate. Public records also show Mr. Silva was the attorney who handled the estate of a mother of another deceased man across the street. Odd is that Mr. Silva is not even listed in directories. Who refers him to such clients? http://marlalk.wordpress.com/2008/05/22/1994-unsolved-murder-may-intertwine-in-massive-fresno-cover-up/

Same group ("auction" people) behind Bill Polzin's deceased mother's estate, several years later. Including those who refer to themselves as "people watchers" (linked to the illegally altered/relocated utility poles) - trail of ID theft, "missing persons", illegal conversion of assets, etc. (No old documents or photographs left behind.) Same people linked to what was done to my "missing" neighbor as well as to my family, our properties, belongings and me.

Mr. Silva should have been stopped. He should have been investigated. I am still interested in having a signature comparison of Mr. Silva's - PRIOR TO 1989. Because I have a feeling that this man may not have been who/what he appeared to be. Perhaps Mr. Swieso would be kind enough to help us with that? After he helps out with the signatures on deeds to my neighbor's property - including the earlier signatures that do not line up - linked to someone else behind this operation. During the time of a family tragedy.

Olive Ave. widened - Fresno's Tower Dist. (no authorization)

Olive Ave. went from a tight 2-lane street to miraculously having a MIDDLE LANE! This entailed massive destrcution/reconstruction to street-lined properties. Behind the so-called "infrastructure upgrade" - no notice, authorization, permits or inspections. This explains the shoddy condition of Fresno's historic Tower District.
Massive cover-up.
