A Visit From The Police

Today at noon I received a knock on my door it was two Hamilton police officers, I invited them in and asked what’s the problem!  They were here to remind me not to speak to the KMHC office staff and an issue in regard to Christine Demik’s parked car in front of my window.  Jeezus! The last time I spoke to the staff was at a meeting on December 22, 2014.  Last week I wrote a note asking Christine if she would park her vehicle further down the laneway so not to block the view from our windows. Since I’m not to speak to her I stuck the note on her windshield.  Apparently she and UNH’s made a big issue out of it and complained to the police. The officer said there is nothing threatening or offensive in the note and advised me to file a complaint with the City of Hamilton bi-law office in the future. 
Ironically this morning before the cops arrived I woke up to loud noise of city workers cleaning the grounds near Christine’s car I went out to ask the workers will her car be ok parked there. The man suggested the car be moved because the dirt and grime will spill on to her vehicle. I passed the information to Tim our building cleaner to alert Christine.  Eventually Christine came out and moved her car to a safer location.  I told the police officers my story they responded by saying “Even though you had good intentions its best not to get involved”. So there you have it folks.  Don’t get involved even if a car is in flames, fuck it, let it burn.  :P
The police officers attitude was ok they didn't act like pricks, one muscular bald guy and an Asian officer. They gave me the usual warning but I didn’t feel intimated or fearful they are just doing their job plus I didn’t do anything illegal.  Being straight up with the cops I mentioned I’m aware the Director wants me out of here and she hates this blog site. The Asian officer asked for the web address and I gladly gave it him I encourage everybody to read it even Hamilton Police Services. :)
As the officers were about to leave I asked for their badge numbers and I mentioned Ingrid.  To my surprise the bald police officer said Ingrid Nosel no longer works for UNH’s, she'll be working for the city.  Now that she's gone will KMHC improve? Only time will tell.

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
