May 20^th	Another good day

And looking like should be good on Wednesday too

Elderberry Blooming

Elderberry (Sambucus) heralds the ‘white flowers’ blooming season --- little late this year – in 2005 peaked 1^st week May

No one will see it here

Or here

Only in Rupert?

Fellows on left were paving a driveway – took the grass etc and stashed it in a neighbouring empty lot

But then seems everyone does it – a fellow mowing his lawn put the clippings in dumpster across the street – and another couple put theirs in vacant lot next door – all that seen within 5 minute walk to downtown

Suggestion?

On one hand probably ‘greener’ to stuff clippings in vacant lot than drive it out to land fill
On the other should be a better use of the clippings etc as organic matter in gardens etc

	City property = Citizen’s property
	This fellow uses City sidewalk for his business – Even if we overlook the Bylaws making this illegal – still due diligence by City should make sure this guy’s business insurance policy covers him when using sidewalk – otherwise the City will have to accept full liability if there ever were court case --- but hey its Rupert

Only in Rupert III

Sure the place is run down – but three windows in one suite broken out?

And there appeared to be someone living in the suite ----

Mysteries

Was Doug Jay ‘suspended’?

I am working on this file – if suspended who did so? Council seemed unaware of why Pond found it ‘premature’ and thus took from agenda recommendation that Mr. Jay be the chief electoral officer at next municipal election

Perhaps Gordon Howie’s wife wanted the ‘contract’ --- but who does she report to? – I suspect the Mayor (and Council?)
Who hired her (in sense of signed the contract)—how long does contract run? ---- Perhaps Mr. Jay was asking these kinds of questions --- we’ll see

(see my earlier where Election officer appointment item from agenda pkg --- the item found ‘premature’ by Pond)
