Flotsam And Jetsam Circa 2012

Several bits and pieces needed this morning to tidy things up.
 The Purchase of Service Agreement with the governing board of the Church Street School was not written by a student or a law clerk. It was written by the former Mayor who  brooked  no interference from anyone including staff.  Sometimes these things have to be repeated  a few times to register. Because it is so far from the norm..
The woman retained lawyers regularly  and consulted with them ad nauseum. It was no accident  the only lawyer involved  with the agreement was former Councillor Damir Vrancic, representing the board's side of the deal. The town  paid those fees as well.
It was not because the town had no lawyer on staff at the time.
The agreement was written  the way the former Mayor intended Why it was done that way only The Shadow knows. .
Councillor Ballard is  convinced the agreement is precisely what it should be. He does not accept the advice of the current town solicitor.
***********
The  blog post  I reproduced here recently by Gary McWilliams of Cobourg was written with information provided by organizers of the St Kitts Jazz" Festival  here. I don't know if   bad-mouthing of the town came from Snowball or Aurora.
****************
It seems  six market vendors refused to sign the cockamamie Code of Conduct, flourished in their faces on the day of opening. 

Not four as first reported here. Not two as reported in The Auroran on information from the jam lady  chair of  the  executive.
*********************
Rumour has it there's  a falling out between Past  and  Present President of the  Farmers Market Executive. 
The Present President spoke for the Past President  in the media and said vendors would be turfed if they didn't sign" Da Code" 
Past President was apparently displeased to have those remarks attributed to her. You  would be too if it happened to you.
*********************
There have been a number of meetings between Market representatives  and the Town ,to discuss having a single permit. But no request for an amendment to the bylaw. I guess it suits them the way it is.
 It's the Aurora Farmers Market.  It doesn't suit me I think we need to clean things up
Never know who may be lurking in the bushes  with pen  and pad in hand. 
********************
A morning  comment attacks Tim the Enchanter..Accusing him of attacking  the food  bank.
That was always a  regular tactic of the dreadful duo.
They would perpetrate a deadly deed . When challenged, they would accuse the accuser of the awful perfidy of their  actions.
I think the intended strategy was to  mess with ma mind
*.***************** 
I heard  just yesterday of a gruesome fantasy expressed  of my person  being pierced with multiple stab wounds and stilletto heels piercing my eyes.
************************
I just looked up and saw a handsome beige-orange breasted robin 
hopping purposefully across a long straight branch and disappear into the canopy.
The tree is full and lusciously green with glimpses  of clear blue sky here and there. I rest my eyes there regularly as I write.
******************
 Now we are up to date. You know everything I  do or can tell you.
On your behalf, I want to thank Paul Sesto for the work he did with the C.C financial statements and details about the library.It has been well-received. 
Thank you  also to all the people who comment  regularly in this space and make this blog your own.
****************
Have a great holiday week-end.
