I sent the investigator an email this morning but never receive a reply.

Why not????

I guess that I'll have to asked for a meeting with Bruce Fitch < Justice Minister >

The public must know why and who deleted all my pictures???

Irving employees working in the Saint John Police force?

Who truly knows?

Do you receive the Daily Irving Gleaner on time?

I was told that many don't and the Irvings told the subcribers to give hell to the poor paper boy or girl.

The Fredericton emergency shelter - All MLA'S and Bureaucrats should live here for one week!!

I was sad when I left the hospital and I noticed a girl walking by me and she was walking pretty quick. So I began a chat before the long walk down the huge hill. She has ADHD!!!!

The interesting part is that she told me that many of her so-call friends are always bugging her for Ritalin!!!!

I told her that she's very free to leave some comments in this blog about this issue.

Our little walk went pretty quickly. Can you imagine two ADHD individuals yakking away???

journalist Andrew Rankin had a good time at CKTP Radio....

WILL AN IRVING EMPLOYEE WIN SAINT JOHN IDOL CONTEST???

Charles,

I wanted to blog a little story...well, it's not a story really.

But here goes..I tried out for Saint John Idol down on the Boardwalk
stage.

I was very nervous and gave it everything I had.

This was last Wednesday night, June 28th that I sang.

I did "Hound Dog" by Elvis.

There must have been 4000 or 5000 people in the audience. It was great.

I danced and gyrated on stage.

Not to brag, but I can hold a tune.

There were 115 people trying out that night.

80 people would be picked for the next level, 35 would be dumped.

I was one of the ones that was dumped. No reason was given.

I had little kids adults that I never met before in my life come up to me
after I sang and told me what a good job I did.

They said they'd bet anything I would make it but I didn't.

Over the last week I became really depressed over all this.

I decided to go down tonight (wed. July 5) to see some of the ones

that made it through to the next level.

It was pathetic, some of the singers were very bashful on stage and couldn't sing a note.

Ok, what I'm getting to in all this is something I did not know..something I only found out today. Something that someone told me.

Now I know the Wave 97.3 CHWV FM on King St. in Saint John is putting on Saint John Idol. They are drawing HUGE crowds every Wed. night and are doing wonders for all the businesses down at Market Square.

What I DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT IRVING OWNS this radio station!!

Now you Charles and your friends probably already know this.

But it came as a total shock to me!!

That Irving is even involved in the Saint John Idol/Karaoke, I guess you could call it, business.

My God, what ISN'T Irving involved in?????

So all the staff down there conducting this, radio personnel, Melinda
Barkhouse, the judges, the other Wake Up host, all the other staff down there from the Wave are ALL employed by Irving!!

What a shock !!

I won't be trying out for Saint John Idol again!

There is something wrong there!

So I just wanted to share that with the readers.

If you want to print it, go ahead.

I'd prefer not to sign my name only because I'll get a lot of crazies
calling me, but if you really need me to give my name, I will.

The Saint John Police Force would have arrested the guy taking these sad pictures and delete all the evidence.

Which reminds moi? I had good pictures of the protesters entering Atlantica. Why would the police destroy the evidence?

HA!!!! Some Police Force.

I left an email over the Union office last week but I never receive a word from Tom Mann. I guess that I'll have to go in their building again.

Maybe Brent Taylor and Tom Mann are working side by side?

The Irvings and the Unions in the same boat?

Here's the story-

Irving open to train station proposals

Renovations | J.D. Irving spokesperson says company
pursuing commercial development to make train station
project viable

By MARK TAYLOR
For the Daily Gleaner

J.D. Irving Ltd. says a development in Saint John
could serve as a model for the restoration of the

York Street Railway Station in Fredericton.

Company spokesperson Mary Keith told The Daily Gleaner
that uptown Saint John's CenterBeam Place could
provide an example of how to develop the train
station.

CenterBeam Place, a former deteriorating heritage
building that encompasses the corner of King and
Prince William streets, is now a newly renovated
office complex with many amenities.

J.D. Irving Ltd. owns CenterBeam Place and the York
Street Railway Station.

"We continue to pursue a commercial development which
would make the restoration of the railway station
viable," said Keith.

"Similar to what's been done in Saint John in terms of
the restoration and the revitalization of that block
of buildings that now is called CenterBeam Place.

"There are some anchor tenants there and it's
underwriting the restoration of that building and its
rejuvenation as part of the downtown core."

She would not say whether the company has received any
expressions of interest in helping to develop the
train station.

But Keith said J.D. Irving Ltd. is serious about
seeing the railway station building restored.

"Should there be an interest in a development for this
property with the intention to move forward, we do
have an approved plan," Keith said.

In the meantime, she said the station is being taken
care of.

"Basic maintenance is being done," Keith said.

"But we continue to look for a commercial development
that would assist in what is estimated to be a
$2-million restoration."

She said the company is open to different ownership
options for the building.

"That is something that would be determined based on
the negotiations with the developer," Keith said.

Fredericton Mayor Brad Woodside said Sunday he hopes
to see a restoration of the railway station.

"It's a part of our rail heritage," Woodside said.

"I think it has been quite an eyesore for quite some
time that has really upset people as to why it would
be just sitting there and allowed to deteriorate when
train stations in other parts of the country are being
restored."

He said he welcomed news J.D. Irving Ltd. wants to see
the property brought back to life.

"I think there is going to be a lot of very happy
people including myself who travelled from
(Fredericton) Junction in the dayliner with my mother
when I was a little guy. So a lot of us have an
attachment to that York Street train station,"
Woodside said.

He added developing the train station will have a
positive impact on the surrounding neighbourhood.

"When you look at the kind of impact it has right now,
that's not a good impact," Woodside said.

"When you turn that around and have a restoration
project, it brings a lot of pride to the entire area,
including the entire city."

Could Charles become an social outcast???

CKTP 95.7FM WAS A FUN BUT SERIOUS PLACE TO BE!!!

IMG_5507



I had a fun time this afternoon. I showed up at 2:35pm at CKTP 95.7 FM in Saint Mary’s.




IMG_5498




I wanted to chat with the host for a few minutes before the live talk show began. I believe it’s very important to know the host so I can be comfortable during the show.









We hit it off pretty good. His name is Bruce Hughes and he’s been doing this work for the past few months.





He puts in a lot of time and effort in his trade.





I asked Bruce if there was a delay system? Talk of the town has a 5 seconds delay and this is a good thing because the host can cut off unwanted words by the audience or the guest.




Seconds later, this Native showed up.







In a stern matter, he said - This is our delay system! You say one bad word??? I'll throw you out the front door!!!! Understand???





Well? The guy sure got all my five ADHD brains attention. ,,lol...His message was loud and clear!!! I didn't need any ritalin to undertsand?...lol




His name is J and he’s a disc jockey at CKTP.




IMG_5505





Just like Bruce he’s a nice guy.




IMG_5496





I was a little nervous. I had the choice to sit down on a nice sofa or the chair. I chose the chair and the show got on the road!!!!





IMG_5502





Bruce told the audience that we’re going to try it out for one hour and if it goes ok? We’ll continue for two hours and continue we did. We jumped all over the place from the arrest in Saint John, the banning from the Legislature, the banning notice without being sign and how beautiful the City of Fredericton is.




IMG_5495





The show went very well and I told Bruce that if he’s ever stuck for a guest? Just give me a call and I’ll gladly show up.






We can talk about any issues of the day. I enjoyed my little experience at CKTP and maybe we shall meet again in the future. Thanks a lot Bruce for having me.




IMG_5503




Keep up the good work!!!
