It's January 2017

Ideal New Year Resolutions.
So here we are starting the year 2017 I never thought I’d make it alive to see it, but hey it is what it is. I’m sure every Native elder in Canada will agree no more turkey dinners for awhile, the leftover egg nog sitting in the fridge has gone bad and who in the hell enjoys Christmas fruitcake! :)
Some changes have already happen at KMHC.  First off the program guy David Bentley is gone call it fired, thrown under the bus or just being axed.  He arrived in the late spring of 2016 I spoke to him briefly in the courtyard I wished good luck because he’s going to need it.  The task to get the majority of Native elders to attend repetitive programs will be difficult.  Failure was inevitable due to UNH’s attempt to have KMHC native elders attend programs by traveling across the city to the money pit building, a building where construction is still incomplete.  How embarrassing!  KMHC tenant notification is another issue.  HOW Lynda Jones lame idea of leaving important event and program notices on the reception desk counter then calling to invite select tenants is impractical. I say get rid of half the irrelevant shite posted on the hallway bulletin boards then UNH’s will have room to publicly post upcoming programs and events for all tenants to read. 

A while ago I heard a rumor started by HSC Ingrid Nosel about me and now I will put it to rest and move on.  Tenant Teresa aka “Gladys Kravitz” has been informed by HSC Ingrid Nosel a peace bond has been issued to me, and of course tenant Teresa had to spread it around the KMHC building.  At the time I didn’t give a shit what Ingrid said because it’s wasn’t true.  For the record - No Peace bond has ever been issued to me by a criminal court judge.  A Peace bond has one year expiration, they are practical for domestic disputes plus it is not an admission of guilt.  “A Peace bond is a protection order made by a court under section 810 of the Criminal Code. It is used where an individual (the defendant) appears likely to commit a criminal offence, but there are no reasonable grounds to believe that an offence has actually been committed.”  Ingrid’s sleezy tactics have failed and I assume she’s been transferred to other UNH’s departments away from KMHC for obvious reasons.

Last week two policer cruisers were parked in front of the KMHC building then the two officers proceed to the KMHC office.  Hmm!  Could it be HOW Lynda Jones was complaining to the cops about something petty!   I really don’t know because afterward the officers didn’t come knocking at my door nor did they go to another tenant’s unit instead they left the building and that's a good thing.
Some good news!  Yesterday I heard there will be trainees in the KMHC office.  I think this is a great idea for young people eager to learn office skills before they venture out in the real world.  Pleasantries between the UNH’s staff and I are visable.  A simply greeting ie: Hello and Good Morning Sir, goes a long way in my books.  Meanwhile I recommend UNH’s also transfer HOW Lynda Jones to the money pit building, it’s where she belongs and closer to where she lives.

Until next time, stay warm during the freezing weather.

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 End Is Here

Urban Native Homes Inc. will no longer exist.   Today and tomorrow Ciy of Hamilton/Ontario Aboriginal Housing Human Resources Dept. are interviewing UNH staff and other applicants in the community room.   Who will be rehired and who will be fired!   I just hope they choose wisely. Tonight I heard Christine Lenze, her mother Ingrid Nosel and the rest of their family and friends has left UNH. This evening before I left for the gym I ran into receptionist Melissa Wissner in the hallway.   She was waiting for her job interview and had a message for me from former UNH caseworker Crystal Mackenzie.  Crystal wishes me good luck and it was a pleasure working with me.  I was surprised by the message and I wish her the best too. :) My blog site has accomplished what I started out to do some years ago by publicly outing the mismanagement of Urban Native Homes Inc.  It's been a long arduous journey. I would like to thank anonymous and the others for thei...

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...
