Police called to Yarmouth Town Hall Council Meeeting

align="center">. . . . . . . . . Thursday,September,13,2007 . . . . . . . . Well it is Fall here In Good Old Yarmouth Nova Scotia Canada.......There was more than the usual bursts of Hot Air coming from Town Hall..............and the excretion by-laws were surely breached.......

align="center">. . . . . . . . . Thursday,September,13,2007 . . . . . . . .Well I spent my day painting and rebuilding an old storm window and at 7PM.. I sat down in front of the TV...with a bottle of Coke and a big bag of peanuts....I don't eat the peanuts I throw them at my TV screen.....as I watch the Yarmouth Town Council Meeting on EASTLINK...............I watched the Argyle Council Meeting first .....then came the Yarmouth Broadcast.......As you can see in the section above I had requested that an e-mail I had sent to each individual Councilor be removed from the agenda of tonight's meeting....................The e-mails had been answered and I had not addressed it to the Town Clerk.... therefore I felt it should not be on the agenda............... As I am watching Jeff the CAO who attempted to remove the e-mail from the agenda was told by Councilor Clifford Hood ......... that it must remain on the agenda......I was out of my seat and on my way to Town Hall as I had jokingly promised Jeff earlier...........Walked as quickly as I could ...arrived at Town Hall had no trouble finding a vacant seat.........I asked the EASTLINK cameraman what section of the agenda the Council was up to....he showed me they had gone past my e-mail....I put up my hand....got the Mayor's attention.....he shook his head.......Every time the Mayor looked in my direction up went my hand........The Mayor shakes his head......I was hoping Councilor Clifford Hood would intervene and let me speak.....as he was so eager to deal with this matter........no luck there.....I kept trying and finally the Mayor said something....like... Mr.Hemeon no you can't speak...The meeting starts at 7;30........you can't speak........anyway I got up and walked to to microphone and asked the Mayor if he could turn it on.... and said ''Could I please ask a question.''......the answer no ...no...sit...down....I will call the RCMP.......I hope I didn't look too bad on TV......I had been working and wasn't ready for a TV appearance..... but I was ready to deal with my assertions.... that I believed Councilor Dares and Councilor Hood inappropriately attempted to influence the outcome of deliberations of a citizen's committee...................... To sit on this steering committee for the proposed Forest Street district the person's name must be on the deed of ownership.... of one of the properties in this proposed district................ Councilor Dares does not own a property in this area..... nor does Councilor Hood...from his own statements he is lucky enough to have a nice lady that allows him live at her house....... which is in the proposed district.............................So I was Not allowed to speak.....and by the time I sat back down I believe the Mayor had already requested that the Police be called......................I continued to raise my hand but ....no luck................then I noticed the CAO heading for the front door of Town Hall...........After a minute I realized the police must have been called and I went out side to see them.............Two cars responded........I knew one Constable..... Steve ....the other constable is a new Recruit......The Cao and I tried to explain things to the Police and Steve said ...''Well if I have to come back again somebody will be going in.'' I said ''If you do... it will be one of them.''....pointing to the Councilors... Steve was happy with that...... and the Police left...........but not before I got my shot of one of their cars for this web site..........I went back in....sat down and put my hand up at every possible opportunity...but no luck................guess they did not want to discuss the issue after all............Well the Council Meeting concluded.......then the Mayor said to me......you wanted to speak you can speak now..........I indicated that it was best to deal with this matter formally................and publicly...............I really don't understand ...Why.....they are taking this course.....there must be more to this than just the unwillingness to protect the integrity and heritage value of the Town owned land of Forest Street.................Why.......These people used the RCMP.... as in the prior incident... in an attempt to discredit me...... for political purposes.........

. ....Well I do admit it when I make a Mistake......and I made A Mistake............I just now read the Town Council Agenda and my disputed e-mail.......I thought we were dealing with the e-mail I sent to all councilors and the Mayor on July19th..near the top of the previous web page.............but this e-mail is one dated August19th....and was sent to The Mayor...Deputy Mayor Pink..Councilors..Boudreau,Strickland and Judge......excluding Councilors Dares and Hood..........I have sent out so many e-mails I had become confused.....I had no Idea that this was the E-mail I had wanted removed from the agenda........I thought it was the older e-mail.....even though this e-mail was not intended for all Councilors.....I would not have minded having it on the agenda.....as matter of fact it increased my web traffic significantly........and my intent to bring out the facts in this matter and bring it to a successful conclusion is clear..........What a Circus I should have worn my.. good ..clown outfit...............below is the e-mail which appears on the Town Council Agenda item q. ...........

. ...Well it is one thing to have some Pompous Little A...As....Ass....Assh.......Pompous Little Idiots call the police and attempt to have you arrested ............... it is something completely different when the police are called by your own Town Council ...........I know what your thinking ..but no....You may find this page takes a much more serious tone.....if this is how the Yarmouth Town Council wishes to deal with this matter....Fine..... then hold on to your hats................

. ...Well... we have all heard of black holes....and no I am not going to make some smart ass remark ............Well I think we as taxpayers here in good Old Yarmouth have several of these black holes and one of them got a lot deeper at Thursday night's Council Meeting...........if you blinked you would have missed it............We lucky people now have full managerial control over our Airport.....you know were this is going don't you.........that deep black hole will suck up a lot more of our tax dollars.........you all have seen loss of tax dollars with managerial expertise... for a number of years... in the Yarmouth Industrial Commission and now we have ......The Yarmouth International Airport Commmisssion.......Are they talking migratory birds......flights of the Mexican Three-Toed Wooodpecker ....the Maine seagulls, or are they flying in Haitians or Columbians to work in the fish plants.............For you people out side of this area....we don't actually have airlines flying into our airport and have not had any flying in... for a number of years.......could the reason be.....our Federal Government Regulations put in place to protect our poorly managed domestic airlines....or heavy taxes on aviation fuel.......a lack of consumer support......So now how much was dumped into the flightless airport black hole last year.........next year should be substantial..........you know this is not all on the tax payers of the Town of Yarmouth [pop.7500] you lucky people in Argyle and the whole of Yarmouth County are asked to come on in and toss cash down this deep black hole..............without oversight.......I think we should all see the numbers............I think this community needs to see all the details ...............Maybe we can help...

......A guy walking his dog .....by my house calls out......''Some trouble at the Council Meeting......saw it on TV.......boy that mayor was pretty rude.'' ''They were worried what you might say.''...''Calling the cops...who the hell do they think they are.''.....''Somebody has got to say something around here..it's a mess.''.......................guess he is right.....people should speak out when they see something wrong........ but if you want to be heard I would advise you to bring your own megaphone...and maybe your lawyer...............I think we need some more ... Interviews.........

.......Well you will by now have a pretty good insight into what is taking place here in good Old Yarmouth Nova Scotia. .............Now if your politicians wanted to put restrictions on your property....telling you what you can and can't do with your property........in the name of Heritage Conservation................But these same politicians refuse to allow restrictions....protections on the Town Owned land.... in front of your property.......Town Owned land... which has as much...if not more..... heritage significance as do the houses........in this proposed district...............how would you respond to this........and when politicians or their self-important associates threaten your right to free speech....threaten you with law suits.....threaten you with arrest.....attempt to discredit you......... defame you...................what would you think......what would you do..................what would you say...............................My feelings are..... this is the result of school yard bullying ......it is exactly that...... these people were all bullied as children........as I was ......the difference between us is that this experience has made me someone who........ at all times and in all cases..... intervenes to defend the victim.......but these people have become bullies themselves...............

	. ...Forest Street Heritage Conservation Steering Committee Meeting..... Wed. Sept.19th.....7PM.....Yarmouth Town Hall......

	. ....FOREST STREET ....1890.

	. ....FOREST STREET TODAY....2007.

	. ....FOREST STREET TOMORROW....2012.......renamed..STUMP STREET.............JSS

	. ....This Is Their Vision.....It does look surreal....it does look like a cartoon......but this is a pretty good facsimile..... of how Forest Street would look if these people... were to get their way............I do Not believe this is an exaggeration..... in fact I think it would be much worse.....

. ...At the Steering Committee meeting last Wednesday Sept.18th.....The Chairwoman became frustrated with my efforts to have this historic streetscape protected.......and made this statement .......''Why don't you just wait until the construction crews arrive on Forest Street and then protest.''...............It is my understanding that the Chairwoman is on the board of directors of the local historical society and therefore should be interested in preserving Yarmouth's cultural and built heritage................some people overseas and locally are finding this...... difficult to follow and understand...........So do I ...I sometimes have to replay recordings of sections of these meetings several times.....to make sure I heard correctly.............Several readers have asked..........''What are the government people dealing with the downturn in tourism saying about all this.''........that's easy...........nothing............Yarmouth's local downtown merchants are saying.......generally they want Town Hall cleaned out.......Fumigated....most are afraid to say that publicly........Heritage people...Dead Silent...........It's a real Circus.....we may have a couple of puppet shows this week as well............and of course some more ...Interviews......

Sept. 24th.2007. ...Spent half the day learning who legally owns the Town Of Yarmouth.....at the Registry of Deeds...... the plot thickens......update soon.....................My Wife and I were picking blackberries in our yard today....when a massive truck came roaring down Forest Street......you know the big rigs that carry steel girders........doing about 65.............looks like they are sending the trucks in to test this old Victorian Street........it won't stand up to that kind of traffic............they will have to tear it up and build a brand new road....lanes and all that.............it is best this is looking pretty old around here......needs to be modernized...........I am sick of all those leaves and grass.....and I'm sick of that old historic feeling.....makes you think of the past.......we have to look ahead........for me it's....less work with asphalt and concrete........no rakes....no mower......I can just lay back take it easy ....count the trucks...and the....crack-heads.............listen to the cursing and swearing wafting through the air.......in between the roars of the engines............smell the diesel..........ahhhhhhhhhh ..... and fresh tar........ahhhhhhhhhhh........

......................................................

	. Sept. 25th.2007. .. The Yarmouth Town Council ....has yet to make a written response ..... as they confirmed they would, by a vote.......to my letter [on this page] of July 20th. 2007.....regarding Undue Political Influence on a citizen's committee........ ... WHY ...........PLEASE RESPOND........and put it in writing................

......Now you out there on the Net know why it is taking so long..............they are nervous........they are unsure what to put on paper..........they know that it will be right here within a few minutes................

.....

....There is a crowd gathering....

......You have all heard of the crowd of people .. in a big city .. who stood by.......and did nothing while someone was about to be killed ....right before their eyes..................I have witnessed this.

....No...we are not dealing here with a human being...but the consequences of the death of Forest Street would contribute to human tragedy...... as does each step toward desperation....and desolation.........if you stand by ..... you are an accessory.......

....................................

.Sept.26,2007...I called out to my wife...excitedly.....jokingly.......''I made it ....I finally made the Vanguard.''...........the Yarmouth Vanguard is a firmly controlled...insular local newspaper and they actually did not write this.... it is part of a bi-weekly summary of incidents and 911 calls....issued by the RCMP......I frankly have no interest in having this issue spun in the local newspaper................And to the RCMP Staff-Sergeant if you review the recording of the Council Meeting it is quite obvious who was doing all the yelling and creating a disturbance......not that your constables made any judgment one way or the other.......as they had not been witness to the incident..nor took evidence.............................Spoke to a clever fellow today that immediately saw the importance of Saving Forest Street and wanted to help.............he is the head a large group of well educated people..........but so are many of the self-important...the wealthy.......the opposition............unfortunately an education does not give a person..... integrity.....................

............................. Sept.27.2007...

. ...Well that is a coincidence I had planned to attend this months meeting of the Joint Heritage Advisory Committee and volunteer............and there in the Vanguard yesterday is a big ad......asking for volunteers......it has been almost a year since I began studying Heritage Conservation on the Net.......can't believe it........and it has been over two months since I had to stop painting my kitchen.....................I went to Town Hall at 4pm and handed in my written offer to help........ and this offer will be considered by both our Municipal and Town Council.........................yes the two separate but intricately connected flocks........ of our rare Three-Toed Woodpecker............ my fine feathered friends..........looks like my first obligation will be to tell the committee everything I have learned about Forest Street.........and....heritage conservation....to help them make decisions... with the benefit of knowledge........won't you say this might be the key.................................. ..................I have to go out and ask more questions ..... gather more evidence......and do some................Interviews......

...................................

..Listen..........can you hear that........rumbling....the muttering.......it's the gathering Crowd.........

............................. Sept.27.2007... ...................................

..Just got back from a Meeting put on by The Dept. of Tourism Culture and Heritage.....regarding tourism product development..........I made a short speech...I am naturally quiet but if something is as important as this matter........ then I am forced, and force myself to speak.... in front of a large group of people....something I would normally would not do ....under any circumstances....................................The Mayor...a Town Councilor...The head of SWSDA ...representatives of the Provincial Government and a number of struggling business owners attended...................The Mayor and...the Town Councilor...left before I spoke........NO ONE PHONED 911 or THREATENED TO SUE ME...but they left....why maybe they were worried they may be asked questions......they were right it was best for them to leave because I have plenty of questions and the answers are thin on the ground.....................I basically stated a number of the points which I continue to mention in these pages....... and asked the people in the room to do something about this send the Town a Message.....even anonymously......because most are afraid of each other and the ...''Powers that Be.''.......here in Good Old Yarmouth Nova Scotia............that to destroy what we have on Forest Street is a crime........and we have advance warning...............it is time to act now.......................I received a number of bad vibrations from the room .....from expected quarters.............afterward a lady from the CBC wanted to interview me.....I declined......I don't want the focus on me.........I want the focus on this beautiful historic street.........I gave the reporter and her cameraman my web site address and advised them to turn up the volume and pass it on to their friends................................People all over the world are watching this story play out................I have a large overflow of e-mails which I am having difficulty responding to quickly ....but ...I will..........a lot of questions ....all the same questions..........Why...Who....How....When......and more..... and advice which I am always seeking...because it is a very involved tangled web..........I explained to the people attending this discussion about Tourism Product Development.......... The Yarmouth Town Council's efforts to prevent the protections on Forest Street being enacted ..... they are using every means possible to discredit me .......... and rest back .... claw back.... control over this Historic Street.................Yes they have lost control at this point........because you know about it..........and our community is not going to allow this to happen... not this time.... this street belongs to The People Of Yarmouth it is an crucial part....of our Cultural Heritage....our collective memory ....Forest Street is our street.....my street......your street ......They Will Not Destroy This Street................

............................. Sept.27.2007 ...................................

....... The Tourism Product Development Officer for the Yarmouth area said she could not understand my web page and stated ''I will not read it.'' ............after all the help and ideas I have given her............. do you have any idea how much all this is costing..............you know those little figures with the bobble heads.... you had to see it...............So we have something unique here in Yarmouth an Intact Victorian Streetscape and Service Infrastructure and the Original 19th century trees still standing....THIS ALL UNDER IMENIENT THREAT..............and these people from the Department of Tourism Culture and Heritage .....have no interest......They did not know were Forest Street was......this really is too much.....I know they need employment but they must actually be able to think at a level just a little bit beyond what is taking place around them........we need to do something about this whole mess............the poor business owners in this area were sold low quality Yarmouth County Snake Oil...........and I have the greatest sympathy for them .....but it is time they set aside their fear to speak ..........It is Time to save the last intact Victorian Street in Yarmouth.....part of our cultural heritage.........it is time to Save Forest Street ............

...................................

.......The key to ensuring the trees continue standing and Forest Street retains its cultural heritage value......is the protection and restoration of the ditch and culvert stormwater infrastructue.

...................................

.......I have some people in Europe asking.....how could we allow our Officals At Town Hall....To Run 18 WHEELERS.....BIG RIGS....THROUGH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STREET IN OUR TOWN................AN INTACT VICTORIAN STREETSCAPE....They have made it..... A TRUCK ROUTE........A TRUCK ROUTE........THEY CAN NOT BE SERIOUS.............TOMORROW................THIS REALLY IS TOO MUCH.............stare at this page ....imagine an even dozen of the most vile words you can think of and attach them to the Wealthy Self-serving Self-important people RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS......and on top of that...... THE HOLLOW TOURISM PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MEETING......THEY CAN NOT BE SERIOUS.........WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN YARMOUTH... NOVA SCOTIA........................SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ........I am really not impressed and my sense of humour is deminishing very very quickly............

. ........PROCLAMATION ...August.9th. 2007....Well the Mayor Made A short speech.........''I see no reason in this world why this Council... or any other Council... for over a hundred years those trees have been there.... those trees haven't been cut down... the Council has put on no truck zones so trucks couldn't go down there and bother those trees... I don't think any body... in their Right Mind ..would ever consider Cutting the Trees Down on Forest Street,.... one of the most beautiful streets we have in Yarmouth..... I don't see anybody wanting to cut those down.''.................................Well..I have.........and it is now a truck zone...

.....

...October 3rd,2007......Last week I spent a few hours finding out who owned the property in the Town Of Yarmouth.........this was a little puzzling and the web was tangled by the fact that many properties are owned by corporations, family members, holding companies and... or owned by lawyers in Nigeria...............My instincts tell me that .....two more major private money making projects are planned for Forest Street.......benefiting the self-serving..... self-important wealthy and powerful......here in Yarmouth..Nova..Scotia.. .....and I figure on their agenda is.......the destruction of Forest Street..............They picked the wrong street to mess with.................. did I hear someone say........Hootenanny ..Tonight....

   .....

...October 3rd,2007....Just got back from the meeting at the Yarmouth County Court House........I can hardly believe what I see and hear............Since I realized what was taking place in Yarmouth....I have not only had to take on the role of policing, investigating and prosecution to protect my family and property and neighborhood, watch dog for our Town Council.... Now I'm a self appointed news reporter........Why...because the media here in Duckburg is firmly controlled by what they loving call the ''Powers That Be''......so when ever I make one of my awkward speeches at these various meetings the media does not report it and I am happy with that but it is the principal of a free press which is distrubing, I don't feel too bad they don't report very much at all..... reporting on criminal activities is blatantly selective....you really have to witness it to believe it.................I decided to record and photograph the events to show those viewing this web page what is actually taking place here in Duckburg........... I start with photos of tonights meeting .....then a run down...then ...hopefully a digital recording .....once I work out the process............The Good Old Yarmouth County Snake Oil flowed freely.....tonight....it really was pathetic...........

. ....This fellow in the red,white and blue jacket is very interesting.....Gerry Curry......... prior to this shot I handed him a piece of paper with my web site address on it.....he immediately shoved it back in my hand and stated he was on the other side........he then said he believed Forest Street should be completely modernized .....in a very humorless nasty way..........I was a bit shocked and then the man said....'' My wife is on the Joint Heritage Advisory Committee and she feels the same way.''......... I am still shocked by all this and completely bewildered......I said well I volunteered for that committee......he stated you will have to get nominated...in a belligerent manner....I said ''Do you mean they won't let me on the committee.'' he answers with a nasty glare.................Why am I still surprised.....what amazes me even more is that I am still able to be polite to these id..idio...idiologists..... these heritage people are a complete waste of space.....most of them have no clue what is important to the community...............Well I gave the people at the meeting another earful.......I will get the recording on here in the morning [evening Oct.4th still trying to figure it out sorry...instructions driving me nuts....Oct.6.still reading the instructions, over and over. now oct.8th find it's in a secure folder and i cant figure how to download it.....sorry..].......By the way I saw the Mayor of Yarmouth and one Town Councilor arrive and leave within a few minutes..............wonder...

I am capable of defending myself.... and I meticulously collect solid evidence............and have made and secured numerous sworn affidavits...........now let's get back to the story ......it's becoming a bloody epic............and do you know..... at last night's meeting not one of those Municipal Woodpeckers hit the speed dial for ......911.........They may be getting the idea that I intend to exercise .............my Right To Freedom Of Speech....................They have made one hell of a mess...of Good Old Yarmouth ..Nova..Scotia.......

BREAKING NEWS...October 10th.....the Municipal Council decides it is best for you the taxpayer that they proceeded toward the building of a Brand New Municipal Building just for you....Council stated they felt the majority of taxpayers want the new building........wonder how the electric bills on this new building will affect your tax rates...ask................The boys from Knoxville are already sizing up our Old Courthouse...........this is short-sightedness at it's very best.....
...................................

BREAKING NEWS...October 11th.....the Yarmouth Town Council meeting has just ended .......I wore my best clown outfit and made the speech below..........now at least two of these Councilors had no idea what I said or they pretended they didn't.....and they are both lawyers............this is exactly why I always represent myself.......I don't have to hire a fool of a lawyer..... when I can act the fool equally as well............it was a circus.....the ring master had his finger on the speed dial for 911...... as one lawyer leveled insults.... made directly to me and not through the chair............Councilor Judge was rude and belligerent ......he thought the remarks, which I had just read, and made by the ex-chairwoman Martha Cassidy about the Holy Trinity Church....... were made by me......Councilor Judge blamed me for the Anglican bashing which had actually been dished out by the Ex-Chairwoman at a public meeting...............and I believe parts of my speech... were dealing with matters he has little experience with....he was pretty confused..............Councilor Pink seemed completely unaware of relivent points...... and seemed totally confused and unaware that I had alleged that two Town Councilors were using their political muscle to alter the course... and unduly influence the deliberations of a citizen's committee.......Councilor Dares was extremely cautious....as she should be in her position....and denied anything was wrong on Forest Street and said it was ''all fear mongering'' people who saw this on TV said she made a lot of wierd faces...............Councilor Strickland was pleasant but bending in the hot wind he needs time to read the details..............and the Mayor was just trying to keep his councilors under control so they wouldn't make him resort to calling 911............Councilor Boudreau wisely said nothing.............And I was really disappointed to see that Councilor Hood did not show up at all...he stayed home and threw peanuts at the screen........really...........what a circus.........there are four lawyers...on this Council including one on the payroll.........They just have to enact Chapter 5....that will prove no one is going to destroy Forest Street.....won't it..................tonight has really got me worried....it has only served to confirm my original feelings....that the politicians and the power brokers will deny and hide the truth of this matter right to the day when the excavators move on Forest..... Street...........Chapter 5 is now in play......enact Chapter 5.....If nothing is going to be done to Forest Street then protecting it should be ....no..worries.......right.........the full transcript of my presentation to Yarmouth Town Council is below......

. ... Below is Town Hall's interpretation of what I said and the Council's reaction.......don't forget this was televised and I recorded the meeting.....yet from the Town's recording this is what was transcribed and passed as part of the minutes for the October 11th Council Meeting.....as you can plainly see a reader would have no idea of what took place and would be given a completely False impression.....................

. ... First they portrayed me as this guy wanting the whole Town of Yarmouth designated an historic site......then they said I wanted everyone to dress up in Period Costume and drive horse and buggies .........now they say I want cars banned from Forest Street.............this is perfect........they are even trying to claim I want a casino, they want to blame me for the casino nonsense..................this can not get any better than this..........This is just perfect.........I have so much to work with here...... and some of the facebook people are starting to buy into the spin.......this should be interesting..............

. ... CJLS....one of Yarmouth's two firmly controlled media outlets.............Now..... Roy Zinck......the first rule of Legitimate Journalism......is Get You Facts Right.................... let's see if the Vanguard unleashes the journalistic pit bull.........ripping into the story............would you not think allegations of Undue Political Influence on a Citizen's Committee might be newsworthy......... Roy Zinck I expect a retraction and correction.....details are so important.....Roy......a....



. ... Yes you are right....these people... when confronted with difficult questions either start yelling...threaten lawsuits...call 911...sling defamatory remarks...sometimes with lashings of cursing and swearing......and now a new ploy............attribute the bizarre remarks of one of their own.. to me ...............The Ex-Chairwoman Martha Cassidy good friend to the Minister for Economic Development ...Good Friend to all in the Conservative Party Of Nova Scotia....Good Friend to Councilors Dares, Hood and the Mayor ...a woman with high political aspirations ........a long time opponent to heritage conservation...........a woman who wants the Anglicans to walk to church................They are attributing this woman's bizarre statements to me..................can't they find anything in what I have said to use against me...............they have not in 9 months been able mount one single logical argument against what I am saying....... they have resorted to every pathetic verbal assault....and now even to the point of attacking someone's religion..........you really have to see their faces as they speak.... it is pretty ugly.........I have plenty of ammunition in my reserves....if these people take this pathetic course to the next level..............I will very slowly escalate to their pathetic level....the difference being my statements will be factual backed by hard evidence........ I hold the high ground in this matter.......

. ... I said above it can't get better than this.........I went to my mail box....it just got much better...........Two letters in my mail box holding hands........The results of the investigations into my allegations of undue political influence on a citizen's committee.......from the Town of Yarmouth and the Ministry of Tourism Culture and Heritage.........Both letters post marked Oct.11th.. both dated Oct.10th.....and do you think that this is just by shear chance ......I filed a formal complaint with Nova Scotia Office of The OMBUDSMAN ...yesterday at 2pm October 11th.........amazing.......suspicous.....I will add the letters and my responses to them later on this web page..............You know how they will read..........but the most interesting point is that during their investigations neither government body asked the complainant [me] a single question..............so how is this sort of investigation conducted..............let's find out......who are these people.......I really need to Interview the Minister of Tourism Culture and Heritage...........

. ... Well here are the long awaited responses ...to my allegations of Undue Political Influence On a Citizen's Committee................Hundreds of you out there have been following this....now give me a hand here ...tell me ...considering what you know to date....tell me how to respond to these letters...... no swearing......

. ... Above you see Roy Zinck's back and over his left shoulder about 17 feet away is Councilor Murray Judge......my seat is three rows and about 10 feet back of Roy Zinck...........I checked my recording of my presentation and I spoke clearly and fairly loudly......I also spoke quickly because my alotted time was pretty limited........some parts of my presentation were a bit complicated and some people present became confused........Murray seemed to be totally unaware that.... the bizarre statements ...relating to the Anglicans and his church and their parking habits....were originally made....by ex-chairwoman Martha Cassidy....who also stated her solution to the problems... was to ban cars...in the heritage district.......... I had just been reading the transcript of our last steering committee meeting to show Town Council.... the type of people and nonsense I have been dealing with for nine months.......Can you imagine having to listen to this rubbish..........but Murray directed his hostility toward me..... mistakenly and directly.....I stood up and loudly stated ......''Those statements were not made by me they are the words of Martha Cassidy ''[ex-chairwoman]...........now Roy Zinck has ears...and he knows Martha Cassidy.... and if Roy Zinck wanted to confirm his facts before printing them publicly.....he just had to walk to the other side of the room.....Martha Cassidy was in attendance the whole evening......Mr. Zinck had every opprotunity to get his facts right and made no effort.........kind of like a lot of people I have met lately........So Mister Zinck..... a written correction and an apology are in order...........my next interview will be with Mr. Roy Zinck President of CJLS.....very shortly..............Yes Mr.Zinck .....you are so correct.......I dreamed up this casino.........because my life long dream was to restore an old house and open....a Victorian Brothel.....and the Casino fits perfectly into my plans......I might built it in my backyard......see you soon Roy...

. ... Well Michael.. lead reporter of the Vanguard ....your story is high quality journalism.....accurate... tasteful and done in the public interest as it should be.........Mike the meeting went pretty well for me...I was actually able to speak in front of a camera and came away with more ammunition for the battle..........I have to admit I am disappointed that your paper didn't go the way of CJLS and Roy Zinck...still early.....the more people I have to take on... the more interesting it gets........but I am glad for you because you want to go somewhere in life and get there the right way..........Just one small error that doesn't really need correction now........ I wrote Chapter 5 and had it passed through our citizen's committee with a vote of 5 to 1.....that is exactly what all the fuss is about...nobody expected this and the politicians just flipped out....................So the question is....Why..... since this is Town-owned land that would be protected by Chapter 5.........if there is no plan and everything is fine with Forest Street.......Why don't these people and Town Council want Chapter 5 enacted......I know you work for a strictly controlled media outlet....but it would have been nice to see the true essence of the story............do some investigative journalism Mike........but only in your spare time...................

td>

. ... So Micheal...you have altered your initial Vanguard article....good..........interesting but of course the real story is how the Politicians and their Cronies are altering the decision made to pass Chapter 5 by a vote of 5 to 1 in favor......that is the story Michael .... as you know.....

. ... Below are articles from Our Local Paper The Vanguard....dated August 28th....and..October 2nd, 2007.....respectively.........now John Miller of 1761 Realty and Karen MacKay Of Rodd Hotels.....who both seem to be very involved in Good Old Yarmouth Nova Scotia.........seem to be thinking Casino................Roy Zinck....are you getting this.......



. ... ........Monday..October..16..2007......My Interview.....with Roy Zinck.....President of Yarmouth radio station CJLS.........even though I had e-mailed my web page to Roy Zinck on Friday after I read his news broadcast relating to me.....Roy Zinck said he had not read my web page...........I then gave my web page to him again and explained the facts relating to his news story are on the last page.................................I asked.... did he also broadcast this story about me from his radio station..as well.. as place it on the net.........Roy stated ''yes'' he did about three times.........................When I stated that I had been misrepresented by him...........Roy Zinck got up and moved toward the door....signalling an end to the meeting...........I knew last Friday that this would be the result of the meeting and that ..... Roy Zinck......not through error......... but purposely misrepresented me to the public..........his attitude told the truth..........he wasn't interested at all to know what I felt he had wrongly printed..or stated.......because he already knew what he had done.......... Roy Zinck states....''I usually do my stories based on what I see...I usually don't respond to people who have a self interest in an issue.''......''PAUSE''......What....Now...Roy you can't be serious..............I then stated...''Roy you have misrepresented me so we will have to deal with that we will have to do something about it.''.............Roy states...''That's your opinion.''.......I state...''No that's not my opinion, that's factural...and that's the whole point... news reporting is supposed to be factual..won't you agree.''.................. Roy states....''Well it's too bad.....'' I interrupt and stated..Wouldn't you agree with that.'' Roy says...''YES.'' ........ ..............So Mr. Zinck....President of Yarmouth radio station CJLS......agrees that news reporting should be factual...........Mr. Zinck has been given the facts....... now we will see what Mr. Zinck does next....................Mr. Zinck if in doubt..... consult your company's law firm..........consult some of our Town Councilors..........just correct your errors......



. ... So back to Forest Street.....Smell that.... it's a mixture of Snake Oil and large amounts of Cash......Forest Street......if nothing is up.... what is the problem here.....Why don't some of the powerful people and politicians......want this important part of our Town protected.........you know the section of Forest Street with all the trees..........there are only thirteen private properties that front on this section of Forest Street.......Town Officals say that if these Thirteen people want Forest Street protected ....then they will consider it........only a few of these property owners would want these protections of Chapter 5.........most only have their own.... very best interests at heart............but all of these people have forgotten something very important..........when these people cross their property line they are on Town owned land.....and that doesn't mean it is owned by the Town Councilors....that means..... YOU...own it......whether you are a property owner or a renter it is your Street......it belongs to the whole community......so now we have to make sure Yarmouth Town Council..the Yarmouth Municipal Council.... and the Nova Scotia Provincial Government....Protect Forest Street......none of them want it protected.........they have all forgotten who they work for..........we employ them.............



. ... I also Interviewed one of our rare Three-Toed Woodpeckers........details later.........You have to be quick.. before they fly south or to Paris..............

. ... .. Defamation.....If you are a journalist...staying clear of untruths and defamatory remarks is pretty important...........not because of the costs associated with law suits......but because the damage that printing or broadcasting something that is untrue about someone ...in your community....this does far more damage and costs far more than court action....this damage done to your company and your own reputation as a journalist is long lasting.......you can't go wrong with the truth... backed by solid evidence........Roy Zinck





.CJLS ..Roy Zinck..has not corrected his errors or apologized in public ...............anyone out there with some strange, embarrassing, or bizarre stories...about Roy Zinck.....President of Yarmouth radio station CJLS......please send them anonymously to.... rodhemeon@aol.com.... The difference between Roy Zinck and I is....I want True Stories.....I will confirm the facts of your stories before making them public.........this should be interesting...... Ref. number: 365357



. ... Attributing the Bizarre Statements of one of your own......to me.........you must be up all night...to be able to come up with these things.........not one logical statement....not one sensible rebuttal.......yelling.....name calling...attacking someone's religion.... ...lying....swearing....threatening...........excellent



.. Chris Perry and Roy Zinck.....Take Note............ A STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES ... ARTICLE I ....- Responsibility.... The primary purpose of gathering and distributing news and opinion is to serve the general welfare by informing the people and enabling them to make judgments on the issues of the time..... Newspapermen and women who abuse the power of their professional role for selfish motives or unworthy purposes are faithless to that public trust.... The press was made free not just to inform or just to serve as a forum for debate but also to bring an independent scrutiny to bear on the forces of power in the society,.. including the conduct of official power at all levels of government......



.....ARTICLE III -.... Independence... Journalists must avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety as well as any ...conflict of interest... or the appearance of conflict..... They should neither accept anything nor pursue any activity that might compromise or seem to compromise their integrity.....



. ... ARTICLE IV ..- Truth and Accuracy..... Good faith with the reader is the foundation of good journalism, Every effort must be made to assure that the news content is accurate,.. free from bias and in context and that all sides are presented fairly,.. Editorials, analytical articles and commentary should be held to the same standards of accuracy with respect to facts as news reports. Significant errors of fact, as well as errors of omission,... should be corrected promptly and prominently...........



.....Journalists must be constantly alert to see that the public's business is conducted in public. They must be vigilant against all who would exploit the press for selfish purposes.......Fair Play. Journalists should respect the rights of people involved in the news, observe the common standards of decency and stand accountable to the public for the failings and accuracy of their news reports.



. ... Do you figure...the Elusive Puppet Master..gets to a point where he is not sure who's strings to pull next?? ....it must get confusing......



. ... A lot of people have been saying to me lately.....''How can you do what your doing and deal with the people you are dealing with and not get angry.''.....Well it's funny to me....that's really the answer...sometimes I have to prevent myself from laughing ...so I don't appear rude......

Oct.20th 2007...CJLS ..Roy Zinck..has not corrected his errors or apologized in public ...............Well Roy Zinck when you broadcasted this statement and attributed to me you made a mistake......''He also said vehicles should be banned from Forest Street and that a casino may even go there.''............you know Roy Zinck didn't you leave out the parts were.... I think the Anglicans should walk to church on Sundays and to funerals.....everyone should dress in period costume.....we should all use kerosene lamps.....we should tear out all the power poles and put in gas lamps.........we should go back to dirt roads............we should tell the truth when reporting the news..woops...........what do you all think.... should I interview Roy Zinck again soon..........all the emails I have received....well...most people think that you, Roy Zinck, did the wrong thing and you should correct yourself.....they are pretty disappointed....although some are not at all surprised....I think you have rubbed a few people around here and the wrong way.........I'll keep you updated...Roy.



..... Forest Street Heritage Conservation District Steering Committee Meeting...Scheduled for Wed.Oct.24,2007. 7PM. ...Ex-Chairwoman unable to attend...shame I had a number of questions for her...like does she expect the Anglicans to walk to funerals and carry the coffins...no vehicles at all.... and exactly who told her about the special development plans for Forest Street.............. religious bigotry issues can be tormenting......... ..........



. ... The audio recordings show this meeting..... with all the bizarre statements , the yelling the defamatory remarks...... to be the pathetic circus it was......









..... Of course I did not mange to interview our last Minister for Tourism and Heritage and he of course did not bothter to investigate the goings on around here ...so I thought I would give our new Wooodpecker a chance....let's see if he asks any questions......I have the Answers Mr. Dooks....... ..........

The result is ...Chapter 5 is for the second and final time passed through our committee with the firm protections for the streetscape of the Forest Street area..in tact.................this is only the First Battle won......now Chapter 5 will go to the Joint Heritage Advisory Committee.......then to Yarmouth Town Council....and then to public hearing....This Battle was crucial....because now Chapter 5 is officially in the public realm......this is a really big step closer to ensuring that ...Forest Street....is left intact for future generations....... ..........

. ... The so called ''Powers That Be'' in good old Yarmouth Nova Scotia.....have had to ask their friends in the media to try to discredit me by printing lies and distortions of the facts in one case [CJLS].......and only a part of the story in the other [Vanguard] ......our Town Council has lost it's credibility by allowing politicans and their associates to interfere in decisions made by a citizen's committee and approving this unethical behaviour ...... the Council has distorted the facts and allowed lies to go unquestioned..............in attempts to prevent protections being placed on Forest Street.....................but it is not working very well for them...because this is all out in public now............how can you investigate a matter without asking the complainant a single question......
