Description
Failure to remove US Flag from Grand Acres Community Garden Plot has resulted in unjust non-renewal of Garden plot by New Haven Land Trust! Please see facebook page link blow: for picture of small US Flag! As an US American citizen gardener veteran will not comply with this order by the New Haven Land Trust Board thus resulting in the dismissal of participation at garden. Anytime one provides constructive criticism they reject the email and imply your behavior is not conducive to their mission objectives. For example their failure to properly communicate, front running a conversation and dialogue, public deformation of character of a gardener without proper instruction of bylaws to the gardener first and scaring a poor senior elderly 87 year old women to flee in the street because she is unaware she cannot pick tomato's in a posted community garden. Gardener suggested providing old lady with a garden plot she said she enjoys gardening and cannot do it at Fairbanks. To add confusion they post signs no harvesting not permitted by garden plot seed sowers assigned their perspective plots, meanwhile the gardener being non renewed donates what he grows to the local soup kitchens and had a crate basket out for theft mitigation of his fellow gardeners crops. New Haven Land Trust is managed by elitist who serve themselves and not the diverse impoverish members struggling crime famine and violence in the surrounding area. Instead of a thank you received insults on methods of soil research crop production and reasonable suspicion of intentional sabotage of those crops. While attempting to use the garden as an agricultural instructional class for the youth of the family and friends when visiting. https://www.facebook.com/Grand-Acres-Community-Garden-of-New-Haven-Land-Trust-450155748521848/

1.There are communication failures by NHLT to not allow reciprocity constructive criticism.
Not allowing the US Flag to be flown is UNPATRIOTIC- Anti Americanism. Infact as suggested they should have a flag pole in every garden to help in the development of sense of community.
2. There us an abuse of position of by board of directors stewardship without just arbitration.
3. Failure to apologize for attempted character assassination by Garden Manager by NHLT Board Members.
4. Public deformation is being considered and attorney provided consult, unless gardener receives apology and reinstatement of garden plot who was publicly defamed in the google groups opening season email with derogatory remarks by Grand Acres Administrator,
5. Gardener was targeted and discriminated against for patriotism flying flag and public display of strong religious faith.
6. Unless apology is given by the end of the day 3/31/16 a public deformation lawsuit will be filed all avenues of reprisal are being considered at this point. This deadline is same time frame the gardener was asked to remove property and US Flag from garden plot. THERE NO WAY THE GARDENERS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IS REMOVING FLAG!! THE NHLT said is TRASHY as they stated!
I have printed copies of all the emails.

I found this article, which makes me beg the question, why would you expel a righteous honorable gardener for placing a US Flag from a garden. What are the members of the NHLT Board members doing that they should falsely character assassinate a patriotic gardener whose conduct was and is exemplary and have the audacity to expel that gardener from participating in 2016 NHLT planting season, In addition, tell the USMC VETERAN GARDENR WHO FOUGHT FOR THE VERY SOIL afforded the NHLT he cant visit the site having once lived there 40 plus years ago!!!
Gardener still has yet to be reinstated and receive apology!!

People "not from the city"? Failed politicians (I assume you're referring to just Elicker)? SCF is for issue reporting, not for rambling complaints. Are you going to report an issue at City Hall and then use it as a thread to complain about Harp and company? I have strong political views of my own, and I don't clutter SCF to air them.
At this point, I assume someone will accuse me of being some kind of cheerleader for the Land Trust, crony for City Hall, or both. "I thought this was 'Merica" etc. etc.
