Blog
Once I walked through the doors, the people < From Quebec > who runs the building knew that I was a blogger and invited me in their office.
The Underground Café had a band playing downstair the evening before. The washroom is located upstairs.
So everyone used the washrooms.
I watched the video and this guy walks in the washroom.
He stays there for a few minutes and quickly escapes through the back door.
These other punks were seen jumping up trying to hit a light in the hallway.
You could see the people running upstairs once the found out the area was full of water.
This scumbag might have pulled a pipe off the wall!!!
The person who runs the building who are from Quebec would love to know who these individuals are?
Who would have believed the day would arrive that Quebecers and myself would be working side by side to catch these scumbags?
If you know who these individuals are?
Do you duty and send me an email at -
oldmaison@yahoo.com
Lets catch these scumbags and make sure they don’t do damage to another building in the Capital.
You have the right to remain anonymous and you have nothing to fear.
The people in charge of that building would like to have a chat with these punks?
Of course, these punks are innoncent till proven guilty but they would love to chat with these punks.
Send that email now at
oldmaison@yahoo.com.
Boy? I just felt like John Walsh from AMW!!!! ...lol
A new thing for this blog? Who knows? Maybe this is the issue that will finally have me shot???..lol
God's Minute!!!
Jesus Christ said; "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, DO GOOD TO
THOSE WHO HATE YOU, BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE
YOU, PRAY FOR THOSE WHO MISTREAT YOU."
( Luke 6:27-28 *NIV )
Dear Charles,
As you know it is written: LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
YOURSELF. ( MATTHEW 19:19 & LEVITICUS 19:18.) So
today I would like to share with you a message that was
sent to me by one of our subscriber's. May it minister to
you as it has to me. It is titled.....
The Dart Test...
A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in
a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr Smith. She says
that Dr Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons.
Now one particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and
knew they were in for a fun day.
On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many
darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of some-
one that they disliked, or someone who had made them angry,
and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture.
Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend.
Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a
picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her
drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was very
pleased with the overall effect she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the
students threw their darts with such force that their targets were
ripping apart. Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled
with disappointment when Dr. Smith, because of time limits,
asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking
about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to
throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smith began removing the
target from the wall.
Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. Needless to
say a hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled
picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and
His eyes were pierced.
It was then that Dr. Smith said only these words... "I TELL YOU
THE TRUTH, WHATEVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THE
LEAST OF THESE BROTHERS OF MINE, YOU DID TO ME."
( MATTHEW 25:40. ) No other words were necessary; as tears
filled eyes of the students, as they focused only on the mangled
picture of Jesus Christ. ( Author Unknown )

Mike Murphy enjoying his first day of true freedom????
This was indeed a strange site.
Two Cabinet Ministers in front of a Judge in Saint John. I might add it was the same Judge who presided over my trial.
Some people told me that it was a good move because it wasn’t fair for a social worker to face an angry Judge.
What do you think?
As for the freedom part? .T.J. Burke in a joking manner told the media and he bought some extra clothing just in case Judge Judge William McCarroll sent the Minsters to Jail?
Trust me? I saw the anger of that Judge toward the prosecutor during my trial and it’s not a pretty picture!!!

ALBERT STREET MIDDLE SCHOOL - SHAWN GRAHAM RECEIVES A LETTER!!!
Can someone send me a picture of the Albert school? Send it to oldmaison@yahoo.com. Here's their website -
http://www.keepalbertstreetcentral.com/
Premier Graham:
While I am not a primary “stake-holder” in the Albert Street School issue (I live outside of the city and none of my children go to Albert Street School ), I have been following this issue with great interest since December. I am writing to you now because, despite my initial enthusiasm when your party came to power, I have reached the point where I am completely appalled by your lack of response to the compelling objections that have been raised against moving the school.
While I have many questions which I would like to ask you about this issue, I will restrict myself, here, to just a few:
1. When it became clear to your government that the Minister of Education’s initial “summary” of parents’ objections to moving the school had little relevance to parents’ real primary objections (e.g., real objections like the ones summarized in Tom Beckley’s recent Daily Gleaner article and like the ones I mention below), why did you not respond, publicly and quickly, to these real concerns?
2. Why has your government gone so far as to misrepresent your constituents’ most forceful objections to moving the school? In his interview with the Gleaner (Jan. 9/07), the Minister of Education insists that, even after having given the public “every chance to make arguments”, he finds the presented arguments unpersuasive. However, the only “arguments” he addresses in this interview – and the only arguments he has addressed since – are the same tired ones he mentioned in his initial December press release (e.g., parents’ concerns for their own property values, the “tradition” of having a school on Albert Street , etc.). I know for a fact that the Minister has been aware, for many weeks now, of several other much more compelling arguments (many of these other arguments are, as you know, summarized in Tom Beckley’s article). Why is the Minister determined to give the public the misguided impression that parents’ only motivations for resisting the school move are either narrow self-interest or misguided nostalgia, when he knows full well that these parents have much more forceful and legitimate grounds for their objections? Why is he intent on misrepresenting and discrediting those who call his plan into question? Surely, you don’t want your constituents to get the impression that you not only have contempt for their concerns but are actively trying to prevent their real concerns from being heard.
3. Why has your government repeatedly framed this issue as if “the amount of available outdoor space for students” somehow trumps all other factors in making this decision? While increasing outdoor space for students is clearly a good thing, is this, by itself, sufficient grounds for such a decision? What about all of the other relevant issues (e.g., students’ walking distance to parks, art galleries, legislature, and other community-central institutions, just to name one)? According to your “maximization of outdoor space” logic, it would seem that, if you are to apply your principle consistently, all downtown schools should eventually be moved to the margins of the city, where there is more space. Is this your government’s “long-term plan”?! I wonder what downtown Fredericton will look like when you’re through.
4. Once it became clear to you that your plan to move the school was predicated on an archaic and disastrous urban planning model (i.e., shifting vital social institutions to the periphery of cities has consistently wrought havoc in American communities for the last several decades), why did you make no attempt to re-evaluate your plan? Indeed, though this major flaw is, by itself, sufficient to discredit your whole plan, you have yet to even acknowledge it!
I realize that many political issues, because they are complex and many-sided, require complex and many-sided solutions. The Albert Street School issue, however, is an obvious exception:
1. Short-term demographic trends (e.g., how many children could currently walk to the proposed Kimble Road location as opposed to the original Albert Street location) should have no substantive bearing upon long-term urban planning decisions (e.g., building schools). As you well know, the demographic make-up of neighbourhoods changes constantly, and quickly. The Minister’s mantra “three times the space for three times the students” is nothing but empty rhetoric.
2. No responsible government reverses a major decision involving this level of social impact without first engaging in substantial public consultation. The Minister of Education’s failure, in his December press release, to grasp the real reasons the public wants to keep the school where it is attests to just how little serious public consultation you have sought. You have yet to deal with this issue responsibly and democratically.
3. No responsible government would micromanage, from the provincial level, what should clearly be a local decision.
4. Removing vital social institutions – e.g., schools – from a city’s downtown core hurts the whole community, adults and children alike. I could offer countless examples of communities in the United States which have been ruined by urban planning policies like the one you are striving to implement. Downtown schools are an asset for students, in particular, but also for the whole community. This is such an obvious and fundamental point, it shouldn’t even have to be mentioned.
I do hope that your government will not sidestep this issue by simply replying, yet again, that “reasonable people can disagree” in their beliefs where controversial issues are concerned. Such a reply is a cop-out. This is not about mere “beliefs”; it is about reasoned arguments (as the Minister of Education himself insists in his Gleaner interview). In short, your responsibility is to respond, point by point and in detail, to the concrete objections raised against your plan, objections which you have thus far ignored. Moreover, I hope that you will not resort to the rhetoric of the Minister of Education’s December press release: his sharp distinction between the “interests of parents”, on the one hand, and the “interests of children”, on the other, is simplistic and artificial. Indeed, a cynical person might be inclined to interpret the Minister’s exclusive focus on “the children’s interests” as a means for quickly dismissing any adults who raise objections to your plan. Please stop pitting parents against children as if they were distinct “interest groups”; and please acknowledge that there are collective community interests at stake here.
I can assure you that, as a result of the Albert Street issue, the integrity of the current New Brunswick government is very much in question in the minds of many people. Of course, one way in which a government can easily demonstrate its integrity and good will toward its constituency is to admit when it has made a mistake and to take the necessary steps towards correcting that mistake. Your government currently has the opportunity to demonstrate its integrity in this way. Will you do this?
While I am cc-ing this letter to the Minister of Education, I am not interested in receiving a response from him. I insist, respectfully, on a direct and prompt response from you.
Sincerely,

CAST YOUR BREAD UPON THE WATERS, FOR AFTER
MANY DAYS YOU WILL FIND IT AGAIN. GIVE PORTIONS
TO SEVEN, YES TO EIGHT, FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW
WHAT DISASTER MAY COME UPON THE LAND.
( ECCLESIASTES 11:1-2 *NIV )
Dear Charles,
Many people have wondered what is meant by "Cast
your bread upon the water, and you will find it." Well, it is
An old Hebrew Idiom meaning to give to charity and it will
be returned to you.
After all it is written: HE WHO IS KIND TO THE POOR
LENDS TO THE LORD, AND HE WILL REWARD HIM FOR
WHAT HE HAS DONE. ( PROVERBS 19:17 ) This is
because, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE POOR PEOPLE IN
THE LAND. THEREFORE I COMMAND YOU TO BE
OPENHANDED TOWARD YOUR BROTHERS AND
TOWARD THE POOR AND NEEDY IN YOUR LAND.
( DEUTERONOMY 15:11 )
So Charles, always remember those who are in need,
and the homeless among us: SO THE POOR HAVE HOPE,
AND INJUSTICE SHUTS ITS MOUTH. ( JOB 5:16 ) After all our
Savior Jesus Christ said, "I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WHAT-
EVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
BROTHERS OF MINE, YOU DID FOR ME." Amen.
( MATTHEW 25:40 )
With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen
