Close Encounter With N-5

Yes I know what you’re thinking. What is the author referring to. Well Folks!  Yesterday as I was about to leave the building guess who was standing outside at the entrance way?  It was Ingrid Nosel fumbling with her keys, she looked miserable as always and totally 'out of it'.  I waited a second then I decided to open the door to leave, I didn't say a word then walked by her to check my mail. Since she likes issuing N-5 notices to tenants I’m giving her a new Indian name “N-5”. So if you see her waddling down the street due to her thighs rubbing together just point and say “There goes N-5”. :D
A new tenant came up with a great idea, a food box to share with other tenants any items that are not used are put in the box so other tenants can help themselves.  It’s like a tenant food share program. I’ve donated many items and I hope this catches on.
I can already see since Jan Porter quit her job things are not done efficiently around here. The front entrance windows were not cleaned properly and the recycling drums were left on the street for over a day.
On another note: Shame on the Director of UNH’s for trying to 'muzzle' a former employee. :P

Have a good weekend everybody.

Update- The food share box has been going on for almost a year and it seems to be going well. I would donate a few canned items that I don't use and a anonymous tenant would help themselves. A few other tenants would donate to the box as well. Now here's what went on at the last tenant meeting. The little imp Lynda Jones wanted to moving the box into the community room but tenant Judy said no because the community room is not open 24/7. RE: KMHC office - instead of complimenting the tenants on a good idea they'd rather stick their noses and fuck around with it because they didn't come up with the idea first.

Poor Working Environment

My unit is located near the KMHC office, along with a friendly wave or hello I see the junior staff going about their business in a cheerful manner with the exception of one employee.   You would think KMHC has a pleasant working environment but that is not the case.   March 2016 is when Urban Native Homes head office was forced to move from their former spacious location to the cramp basement level of KMHC.   There were approx. 8-10 staff members at the time.   Then the Urban Native Homes financial scandal broke out and soon after the current UNH acting director’s illicit past became public knowledge, everyone was worried will they have a job.  Fearful meetings going on in the community room, the rumor mill was in full rotation while I just stood back and observed the panic.   Check your search engine it states this building location is Urban Native Homes head office yet that is not correct.  There is no real head office, the organization has s...

The Passing of Dean King

There's not many original KMHC tenants left that I know, last week I got word tenant Dean King passed away, we were not related and I remember when he moved in the building we got along well, we hung out often and he shared stories about his life and family. Eventually I notice he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the drawer and I started drifting away thus ended our friendship. Dean didn't have the usual addictions most male aboriginals endure he didn't drink or do drugs the problem was his mental state which I believe began after an auto accident years before.  After I moved out of KMHC I'd often see him standing in line at the food bank in Gore Park in downtown Hamilton or hanging out with street friend Galina in Jackson Square food court. He didn't have many friends and other KMHC tenants just tolerated and accepted his strange behavior. He'd walk the streets looking disheveled and lost.  When I received the news Dean died I didn't feel sad I felt surpri...

Sandy Holland

On February 27th 2025 I heard the passing of tenant Elder Sandy Holland. I knew she was in bad health and said to her friend she's ready to go.  I met her years ago when she moved to KMHC she seem a bit daffy yet in a nice way, never spoke mean about others but had strong opinions about UNH staff. We would meet at UNH dinner functions and meetings and always offered me hug. She never got personal sharing her life stories with me which I can respect. RIP
