Local roots
go deep into past |
|
Ken
and Margaret Campbell were instrumental in the 2nd local native
art ‘renaissance’ – Margaret had a
native arts store on 3rd --- Dempsey Bob told me years ago that it
was there he and others learned the craft of carving --- Frieda Diesing would
give art instructions in the back of the Harris’ store after it had closed
for business in evenings --- See
this (off site)
PDF how Ken came to publish book on left – perhaps kindling his interest
in bringing back a past pushed aside by residential schools etc |

Recent SOFI
statements allow Citizens to see how much our ‘Public Servants’ are taking
home |
|
So how much does the SQCRD (primarily Rupert taxpayers) pay the Acting CAO? I will later put copy of parts of recent FOI on that matter – but we already know that 5 months in 2009 cost about 63T$ (from SOFI)--- and did that include the $75/day per diem? And the $1,000 month ‘living expenses? Not to mention the 5 trips back ‘home’ per year paid for by us? So why are ‘we’
paying all this $$ --- I would be guessing but I would suggest Mayor
Mussallem wanted her there after she left PR City Hall, and so we pay the
bill |

For cutback
in Recycling hours see my previous |
Does Paying Koning
translate into reductions at Recycling? |
|
The Regional district does not make its total tax requisition to PR tax payers ‘visible’ --- but we can see how much the Recycling depot costs (it is broken out in budget) --- and funny thing Prince Rupert paid 8,040 less in 2010 than in 2009 – about the same amount that the reduction in hours was meant to cover. I suggest the
increases to administration to cover Koning wages demanded cuts elsewhere to
keep Rupert’s share of SQCRD tax requisition same as 2009 – More later |

Called ‘Indian
Rhubarb’ – which surprised me as I am allergic to its juices – but the trick
is to gather it early before it produces flowers etc – see Nancy
Turner PDF See
my previous for more --- my 2005
and June 2000 for detail flower-- |
Heracleum
lanatum Cow Parsnip – the last of the
showy flowers – academic

Gardens

|
Lots
of work here – but not much growing s yet – perhaps this approach needs to be
supplemented with a more ‘garden on balconies’ type approach – more later |
