H.O.W. The Cop Caller

Please click the link below for the definition of a cop caller according to the Urban Dictionary.

Well folks!  Just as I suspected whenever H.O.W. Lynda Jones is upset she calls the cops over something menial and I am assuming Ingrid Nosel put her up to it.  She did this before in March 2015 and here we go again.  Late Friday afternoon as I’m delivering take out fish and chip dinners to tenant Elder Judy who has a physical disability I met up with two police officers at the building entrance.  I am told last week they received a complaint from H.O.W. Lynda Jones in regard to a small out of focus crappy pix of her sitting on the courtyard bench which I posted in a previous blog four weeks ago.  There was nothing obscene about the pix she wasn’t posing naked in a provocative manner, just a person fully clothed sitting and wearing sunglasses.  
 The police and I had a short and to the point conversation (all the while I’m holding two hot fish & chip dinners) I listen to what they had to say and then I was allowed to speak on my behalf.  I reminded the police officers there is no court order signed by a judge stating I have restrictions at KMHC and they acknowledged that.  The officers were civil and didn’t pull “the tough cop routine” in which case I would have exercise my right to walked away.  There was a complaint and they were trying to work out a solution.  The male officer suggested I talk to UNH’s upper management to clear the air, I said to him I’ve tried that six months ago in writing and I never got a response back from the acting director of UNH’s.  He displayed a surprise reaction.  The officers were also totally unaware of the UNH’s financial scandal so I filled them in.
The female officer could tell I’m a level headed man and not the prick the staff make me out to be.  The officers hinted the complaints are petty and I agree.  So the bottom line is Lynda wants the pix removed.  Hmm! I thought about it for….10 seconds and because the police officers were respectful and polite.  I agreed I will remove the tiny pix this one time but on two conditions:

1. During off hours any correspondence from me regarding tenant issues will be delivered under the office door and accepted by UNH’s.
2. For the duration of Lynda’s employment she is not to communicate with me while at the KMHC building.

The officers agreed that sounds reasonable and will pass the message on to H.O.W. Lynda Jones.

In closing I would like bloggers to never be discouraged to write your thoughts, post pic and videos, stick to the guidelines and you'll be fine.  As for me, I wasn’t intimidated by the presence of local police there were no charges or fines issued and no demand from the officers to remove the pix.  It was a simple request from the Hamilton Police Services.  We ended the conversation cordially with a thank you and have a good evening.  On social media freedom of speech and expression is alive and well. 
I wrote this blog Friday evening right after I finished my fish & chip dinner and I decided to post it today.   After a successful meeting on Friday at the Aboriginal Affairs office in Toronto, Canada I wasn’t going to allow HPS or UNH’s ruin my weekend.  June is Aboriginal month in North America and I plan on celebrating it to the fullest.  Please visit and support your local Aboriginal Pow Wow event, the Native dancers will knock your socks off.  :)

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
