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.

After many years I received a call for Toronto Native Housing offering a vacancy so I decided to explore my options by attending a viewing of what's available. But first I did a phone interview with acting project manager Paul Feitelberg. He said my personal and financial information checks out fine then we talked about the negative reference I got from Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services. I was asked for my side of the story and I also invited Paul to read this blog site to find out more who I am.  A few days later I called Paul for an update, I was complimented on my blog posts and he could see the love and compassion I have for the Native people on this blog site.  Due to the Hamilton cyber attack it was difficult for Paul get a reference from my current housing provider so with my assistance I helped him get in contact with their office. I received an excellent tenant reference from my housing provider. When I asked about OAHS he said he's going to ignore their negative re...

The Ladies of KMHC

I & friend Teresa Last week I attended a program host by NWC Hamilton, it was there I met up with six female tenants of KMHC.   It was nice to see the ladies again I was greeted with hugs and smiles.   The program was Holistic teachings by Jane Burning she spoke about the Creator and positive thinking.   I enjoyed the presentation though it was a wee bit long.   During lunch break I had the chance to chat with the KMHC tenants to find out how’s life going at KMHC.   Things haven’t improved most tenants don’t like each other and there’s a lot of negative energy in the building.   I offered a sympathetic ear and didn’t judge as they shared their stories. The big problem with KMHC is tenant Aunt Opie and I’m glad she didn’t attend the NWC program.   You may recall I spoke of her in past blogs, aunt Opie’s negativity spreads throughout KMHC.   She brags about sending false complaint e-mails about tenants and staff to Justin the head direc...

Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou

I hope one day we can truly say there is a haven where older natives who experienced homelessness can find a place to call home and have the resources available for the best quality of life in their golden years. Koo Ga Da Win Manitou Housing Complex has a long journey in order to reach that goal. Perhaps more funding is needed or better trained/experienced outreach workers who can relate to tenants concerns and health issues. Programs that would interest all tenants as a whole would be nice. Most important we tenants must try to get along with their neighbours. (as the good book says "Love thy neighbour") I've been here less then a year and I've observed alot, we have a diversity of tenants living in the building from different reservations and walks of life. Some have problems with alcohol, prescription drug addictions, physical disabilities and slight mental disabilities. The one thing we all have in common is our health concerns, from chronic back pain to deadly...
