On 3-9-13 former Alpha councilman, Chris Pfefferle, met with Mike Savary at Craig Dunwell's (mom's) residence. Pfefferle has met with council members countless times in 2013 and taxpayers often share photos of his presence as evidence that "something is going on". Pfefferle is known for unethical and possibly illegal actions. He was caught lying on record during the police contract negotiations and also lied about his living situation to remain on council after moving from Alpha Borough.
 

Alpha feels numerous council members are corrupt. Lou Cartabona, Mike Savary, Craig Dunwell, Carol Schwar and Mike Schwar responded to residents' outcry for transparency and justice by filing a defamation suit against Save Alpha for posting about Alpha's issues publicly online.



On 6-22-13, Craig Dunwell and Carol Schwar stopped walking in the parade (Alpha Volunteer Fire Company's 100th Anniversary) to walk up to the sidewalk and take pictures of a sign protesting corruption on Alpha town council. Residents were outraged to see council members walking in the parade after refusing to assist Alpha in obtaining a much needed fire truck. Volunteers respond to emergencies in their own vehicles.

The Flipside of Alpha councilman Mike Savary's 2012 campaign letter

Friends of councilman Craig Dunwell claim he no longer wants any association with his long-time friend, councilman Mike Savary.

Dunwell is up for re-election in November and friends say he can't risk losing votes due to pending investigations regarding Savary's fraud, embezzlement and littering. 

Does Craig Dunwell intend to throw Mike Savary under the bus? Dunwell has a history of using friends then lashing out at them once he no longer needs their assistance.

The flip side of Mike Savary's 2012 campaign letter reads: "Help us continue the progress by voting for Mike Savary." 

 

Signed by Craig Dunwell, Chris Pfefferle and Carol Schwar.

 

Paid for by Mike Savary.

Craig Dunwell continues to harass his neighbors during NJ VS Dunwell

On 11/12/12 at 3:30 PM, Councilman Craig Dunwell drove his neighbor's home and sat at his mailbox, apparently looking for something.

 

 

 A window was open at the home while Craig Dunwell was sitting at the mailbox. Was Dunwell looking in the window? Was he looking in the mailbox? Why was he there?

 

A police report was filed against Dunwell early this evening. Dunwell recently trespassed at the same residence and was given warning by the Pohatcong Township Police not to do it again or he would be arrested.

 

http://dunwellwitnessintimidation.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-dunwell-bullies-continue-witness.html 

"On 9/27/12 crooked Councilman Craig Dunwell trespassed on his neighbors' property to litter. He appeared and sounded drunk and attempted to touch (an) Alpha resident...while Councilman Mike Savary watched.

A Pohatcong Township Police Officer arrived to question Dunwell, warning him that the next time he trespasses and/or litters he will be arrested. Mike Savary angrily cussed at the officer."

 

 

Dunwell's neighbor ran for Alpha town council this year. He maintained a clean campaign, focusing on why he was running for council and what he intended to achieve if elected. In addition, the neighbor (who works full time and also many evenings and weekends) purposefully limited his door to door and phone campaign efforts in order to show respect to Alpha residents during the power outages and aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The storm devastated our area and damaged much of New Jersey, leaving many without power, food or gasoline.  

 

Craig Dunwell (who claims to be unemployed and seems unconcerned with the struggles of local residents) distributed a harassing and threatening campaign letter against his neighbor. The letter focused on his neighbor's wife, making false claims against her because she is a witness in NJ VS Dunwell and has provided photo evidence against Craig Dunwell on numerous occasions. The neighbor's wife did not run for town council and is not a politician or public figure.

 

Craig Dunwell included police reports in his campaign letter. The police reports were from 2006 and the information which Dunwell claimed to have taken from the reports was not accurate.

 

Dunwell chose not to share the reports in their entirety because the reports describe an ongoing issue involving  Dunwell's close friend, Jerry Paetzell. Paetzell was caught trespassing at the neighbor's residence on numerous occasions, beginning 3 months after the  family moved to Seventh Avenue. According to local officials, the Paetzells have harassed previous residents at the address as well, claiming to have had issue with where vehicles were parked. The Paetzells live two doors down and have no business being near the residence. In addition they are unaffected by vehicles parked at the home.

 

On 10/2/12, Save Alpha shared the following photo of Jerry Paetzell speaking with Craig Dunwell:

 

 

Their conversation was loud and had been heard by Heidi Crouse and Karissia Crouse, and their company. Paetzell asked Dunwell for additional assistance in keeping unpaid town utilities in service for his residence, without having to attend a council meeting to follow proper procedure for the request. Dunwell agreed to assist his close friend and then demanded a 6 pack of beer for any additional, unethical services.

 

The NJ VS Dunwell trial continues. We will keep Alpha up to date on the events.

 

Thank you for your support.

 



Hoffman's lies are easily exposed

"No one in the Dunwell family have ever been taken to court..." - Diane Hoffman 

 

 

Hoffman is a resident of Hamburg, Pennsylvania and aunt to Councilman Craig Dunwell, who is running for mayor of Alpha, NJ on the Republican ticket. She has been harassing Alpha, NJ voters who expose the possibly illegal and unethical actions of her nephew for many years.

Craig Dunwell's attempt to silence the Save Alpha street signage campaign backfires.

After hours of receiving jokes, reports and speculations. it is clear that Alpha is laughing at Craig Dunwell and his abnormal concern regarding Save Alpha campaign signage against his bid for town mayor this Fall. Everyone contacting us is asking the same question - How could Craig Dunwell possibly survive more involved local politics when he is already publicly falling apart so early on in his campaign?

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Friends of Dunwell witnessed his emotional outburts and described his panic to have his complaints heard and resolved as bizarre because he "could not take it anymore" and was being "pushed to his limits by the negative publicity".

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Tips from numerous officials all concluded that Save Alpha's use of local utility poles for our flyer campaign was a "non-issue" and claims have been made that Dunwell was "bitching" about the SCN flyers on Alpha utility poles, and would not stop complaining until something was done about it.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Craig Dunwell's friends believe that Dunwell had hoped to completely end the Save Alpha campaign by using bullying tactics to have signage removed.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

We have been told that the owners of the Alpha utility poles "did not care" about the flyers being stapled to the poles, as technicians do not climb the poles, they use bucket trucks to gain access for any repairs. In addition, their response to Dunwell's complaints involved the use of the word "laughable".

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Four different sources claimed that Craig Dunwell's out of state aunt, Diane R. Hoffman, (AKA Diane Dunwell Hoffman) who is a Pennsylvania resident, was involved with the complaint process. Is there anything that Craig Dunwell doesn't ask his aunt for help with? OK, maybe we shouldn't answer that...

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Due to Dunwell "playing dirty", officials have granted Save Alpha permission to use ANY statements needed in the next round of signage in order to get our point across and to get the word out to any voters who may not be aware of how severe the situation is.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Thanks for following our campaign, Alpha. Stay tuned!

Is bullying a positive character trait?

Why in the world would Alpha, NJ want a known bully as its next mayor? That's what the residents and employees of Alpha would like to know. We are all very worried for our town due to the upcoming election. Therefore Save Alpha works hard to assist concerned residents in spreading the word about Councilman Craig Dunwell and his inappropriate actions against Alpha in, order to keep Alpha safe. 

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Save Alpha intends to expose Alpha's concerns regarding Councilman Craig Dunwell during the months leading up to our November election. Our official websites include Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and Photobucket. Topics usually include Dunwell's shady relationship with Councilman Mike Savary, his well -nown public drunkenness, his dangerous driving, his vandalism of private property, and his harassment of local children, private citizens and town employees.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Craig Dunwell's relatives don't approve of any citizen speaking out against Councilman Dunwell's actions and wants Save Alpha to be silenced immediately, going to extremes in attempt to end our campaign.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Councilman Craig Dunwell's out of state aunt, Diane Hoffman, and her daughters, Jamiann Regensburger and Jennifer Odell, have been attacking Save Alpha publicly online since June 2011. Save Alpha admins are private citizens who are not running for any office.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Relatives of Councilman Dunwell have accused Save Alpha of Cyberbullying public official, Craig Dunwell. "Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Craig Dunwell's relatives' false claims also include stating that residents are stalking and harassing public official relative, Councilman Dunwell, and that Save Alpha supporters own homes in foreclosure, and do not report income to the IRS, and that their businesses should be investigated for various illogical reasons, and that they have spent time in jail. Craig Dunwell's aunt, Diane Hoffman, even wrote a public blog in order to harass a private citizen by posting a Save Alpha supporter's dismissed court cases from the early 1990s. When a court dismisses a case, the case was "thrown out." The inappropriate blog was removed from the internet due to its threatening and harassing nature, on the same day that it was posted. Many of Craig Dunwell's relatives' public online attacks are deleted shortly after being posted so that there is no evidence of their actions. Save Alpha saves evidence for future use.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Alpha voters must be aware that if Craig Dunwell were to become mayor, his relatives would publicly attack and harass any private citizen who exposes his possibly illegal and unethical actions. Dunwell uses his family as a crutch, encouraging them to end the Save Alpha campaign by tampering with our websites and publicly attacking supporters, many who are private citizens of Alpha, NJ.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Councilman Dunwell, who has admitted that he is unemployed, has gone to the homes and workplaces of Save Alpha supporters to harass them. He has called supporters on the phone and also publicly confronted them in local hang outs. Dunwell has also taken photos of their private homes.

On June 10th, Councilman Dunwell and his wife, Luda Nazarenko were captured on video encouraging Dunwell's mother, Joan Dunwell, to hit a Save Alpha supporter with her speeding car.  A police report for harassment was filed that day.

 (¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

On the morning of 6/25/11, during Alpha's 100th Celebration, Councilman Dunwell took numerous photos of a Save Alpha supporter's private home. After doing so Councilman Mike Savary yelled for him to get in his car and they sped off.

 (¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Later that same afternoon Councilman Dunwell, his aunt, Diane Hoffman, and numerous family members, including Jamiann Regensburger and many children, trespassed on a Save Alpha supporter's private property to take photos of their private yard, vehicles and home. The mob even leaned on the homeowners' truck and posed for photos in front of the window of the residence. A police report for harassment was filed that evening at 7PM.

The afternoon of 6/26/11, during Alpha's 100th Celebration, Councilman Dunwell was late for his dunk booth duty. The band leader had to announce that Dunwell was not in the dunk tank as scheduled and joked that Dunwell must be working a short shift, yet Dunwell still refused to report for duty as he and Councilman Savary wandered around. Then he sat for a very long time to eat french fries. Later that day Councilman Dunwell verbally assaulted a child who was working at a food booth. The child's mother stepped in to end the attack. Dunwell's actions were witnessed by numerous private citizens attending the Celebration, our mayor and a council woman. Dunwell was described by witnesses to have been extremely drunk and smelling of beer. He had attacked the child because he felt he was entitled to more onion rings for a lesser cost than everyone else at the Celebration.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

On June 28th, Councilman Dunwell's aunt, Diane Hoffman, contacted a Save Alpha supporter via their Flickr photo account to threaten that supporter, attempting to silence the Save Alpha campaign against her nephew, public official, Craig Dunwell. Hoffman also stated her intent to contact her real estate attorney for assistance in dealing with the completely legal, town-wide supported Save Alpha campaign, which of course has nothing to do with real estate law. Hoffman's behavior is beyond baffling to sane and rational minds.

On July 12th at 10AM, the wife of Councilman Dunwell, Luda Nazarenko, a local employee at Lowes, hit a Save Alpha supporter's front porch with her car. A police report for harassment was filed that evening at 5PM.

 (¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Councilman Dunwell is often referred to as AKA 25 Cent due to his obnoxious behavior when asked to pay .25 for copies that he had requested for personal use. His elderly mother stepped in to pay, as Dunwell felt the price was just too high.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Councilman Dunwell is also often referred to as AKA Onion Rings due to his well known verbal assault on the local child serving onion rings at Alpha's 100th Celebration. He drunkenly yelled that he should not have to pay the high cost of $2.50 for onion rings. His elderly mother stepped in to scream at the child along side her bullying son.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Alpha residents often share their concerns that Dunwell cannot keep steady work and that he is not even a taxpayer. His public complaints and outbursts of violent behavior over paying .25 for copies and 2.50 for onion rings are a huge red flag to the entire community.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆the

Councilman Dunwell publicly complains about high costs of living, yet seemingly will not work. He is said to rely on his family to support him financially. Dunwell was recently caught eating pizza without paying for it, commonly known as Dining And Dashing. The home Dunwell lives in is not owned by him. In addition he does not seem to comprehend or respect the value of material property owned by others, and often displays a complete disregard for the houses and yards of local private citizens. Save Alpha supporters do not feel these are appropriate actions or qualities for Alpha's next mayor. Alpha voters are proud, honest citizens who work hard to make their livings. Craig Dunwell's way of life isn't comprehendible by decent people. Our town was built by blue collar workers and heroes. Therefore we require no less than a local hero as our mayor.

Craig Dunwell will NOT represent the best interests of our town and MUST NOT become our next mayor.

The Dunwell Update Alpha has been waiting for!

A friend of a friend of Councilman Craig S. Dunwell gave us this insightful account of Dunwell's concern for his own campaign and his strange panic over the recent Save Alpha flyers, posted on the streets of Alpha, NJ.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Councilman Dunwell went to the home of Alpha's Mayor, Ed Hanics, to ask for assistance in having authorities remove the Save Alpha campaign signage against Dunwell from Alpha's telephone poles. Though he was obviously very concerned for his own campaign, Dunwell claimed that he felt the signage would negatively affect the vote count for Mayor Ed Hanics come our November election.  Dunwell is of course running against Mayor Ed Hanics, making this claim for concern even more laughable.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

50% of the flyers read "Re-Elect Mayor Ed Hanics" or "Re-Elect Hanics".  Alpha, why do you think that Councilman Craig S. Dunwell would pretend to feel that statements showing positive support to our wonderful mayor could be viewed in a negative way?

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Save Alpha believes that Councilman Dunwell is aware that it is unethical to tamper with campaign signage and is amused that this is the best tactic he could come up with to fight our ongoing campaign against him.

(¸.·´ (¸.·`¤ ☆

Don't worry, Dunwell...our next round of flyers do not mention our lovely mayor at all. They simply show graphics of onion rings and your favorite beer.
