St. Francis Church - They just discovered the steeple was a step above dust?
I was called today to read about this “new” development in the restoration project of the Church. Here is a link to the story on Metroland. “Repairs will cost Ajax an extra $250,000 on a multi-million dollar project” “Mayor Parish said although he’d rather the problem didn’t exist, there was no way it could have been foreseen.” hmmmm ,  not so fast.   You read about the Church Window issue here last year.   I had asked some questions to a member of t

H1N1- Ajax gets a 2 day clinic– Hey it’s better then nothing
This is in a comment below but I will put it in a new post.  The notice was in my email at 2:32 this afternoon.  ___________________________ Hi Karem - Here is the lastest for you and your readers.

H1N1 - What’s the deal with no clinic in Ajax?
I was checking into the Clinic locations and see that Bowmanville, Oshawa, Whitby and Pickering all have H1N1 Flu clinics.  Why doesn’t Ajax have an H1N1 Clinic of it’s own ?   I just spoke to my Mother in Fonthill and she does not have to go to Welland to get her shot,  she will go to the local firehall and get one.  She is just as close to Welland as we are to Pickering. I would like to know why Whitby does not have to share with Oshawa ? We have enough of a population that our council keeps harping about another politician to pay at the Region level but no one makes enough noise about an H1N1 clinic in town ?  Will we get one on Monday f

Enjoy the Fall
The blog will not close but I do have other priorities at the moment involving family. I have to get my mother moved out of her house in a few months then we have to get the house ready to sell.  I have contemplated moving her up here to be closer to me but she is still able to live on her own so being near her friends is important to her and the main reason for me to keep her in the Niagara area is because her Doctor is there.    She is 75 years old and it is hard enough to find a doctor,  try finding one when you actually have issues that need to be monitored.

Back soon
I guess I should have written a post to say I was taking a break.   Things going on,  school starting.   Waiting to hear my job status from a big merger.   If I am confirmed in my position I will be working for the biggest energy company in Canada ,  sounds pretty impressive when stated in that way!  The garden is plodding along,  I have to learn patience.   There will be a community garden in Ajax at St. Andrews Park that I will help with but the timing is a glacial pace.   These things take time I know but I do wish it could go faster.   Parks grow flowers,  parks can grow a carrot but the carrot takes a lot more fertilizer to get.
