A couple of days ago, I was close to the New Brunswick Legislature and I noticed Mike Murphy walking with an individual.

I didn’t know the guy until Mike called me over.

It was the new Liberal MLA Chris Collins from Moncton East.

Mike introduced me to the guy and he said - I’ve heard of you . . .

I quickly replied - Everything you have heard about me are all true!!!!..lol...

There’s a lot of these new MLA’S that I don’t know who they are?

Too bad this blogger can’t get a feeling of what they’re all about?

The Liberals seem to ignore my suggestion they remove the ban but I haven’t received any answer from the Premier’s office.

I’m taking the advice from someone on this issue.

I still tell everyone < who will listen? > of the reason I’m banned and everyone shakes their heads.

I guess that I’m soon going to go to Plan B!

If this issue ends up in the courts?

It should be very interesting.

Stay tuned!!!!

He’s the guy who defeated liar Tanker Malley.

I bumped into the nice individual this evening in the uptown area.

I first met the guy last year and in a joking manner I told him - My God? Are all the MLA’S who comes from that the part of Miramichi all overweight???...lol...



STA_0766



Bill never said much until this evening.

I haven’t seen the guy for a long time so I once again mentioned the weight issue.

This time around he replied - Charles? What’s more dangerous? Being overweight or a smoker?

Good point!!!

I know for a certain fact there’s lots of pressure being an MLA and from my point of view?

It’s just a concern.

But he does have a point....lol

So what’s more dangerous?

Being overweight or a smoker???

Ohhhh just for the record?

Bill Fraser is working on losing a few pounds and he’s a very nice MLA.

My God!!!! Sure doesn't look like one year have passed....Take a close look how close I was with Tanker?

Tanker lied to the media about me and our friendship was history.

I wonder if the same action will happen with the Liberals?

My God? Our emergency response Team sure moves fast!



IMG_0200



I went for my little walk and once at the corner of Regent and King’s Street.

I heard sirens coming from all over the place. It happened so fast that I didn’t take a picture.

All were heading toward the Legislature and quickly turned left. The only place they could go was the old Beaverbrook Hotel.

I began to run toward the area. < I got to quit smoking! >

Once there, I notice they were all near the Saint John River.




IMG_0208IMG_0209IMG_0210IMG_0211




I guess someone from the 11th floor saw someone going through the ice.




IMG_0204




I might add there were emergency personnel across the river also.




IMG_0203




My God? They sure move fast!

I decided to carry on my walk and these three youths told me they saw a snowmobile racing on the Saint John River an hour earlier.




IMG_0213




I saw the firemen in the middle of the Saint John River looking through a hole in the ice.

I was certain that a body would be found.

I began to make it to the other side and many citizens began to gather in the area. It was very dark.




IMG_0207




I noticed a guy going to the scene with a fancy camera so I decided to follow the guy.




IMG_0219



Hey? If he’s allowed to take a pic? Why not the blogger???

At the end, the firemen came walking toward the shore but they couldn’t locate a body.




IMG_0221IMG_0223



From what I’m told it was a fake alarm but I learned that our emergency response team sure moves fast!!!!

Good work!!!!

WHERE THERE IS NO [REVELATION]*, THE PEOPLE CAST
OFF RESTRAINT; BUT HAPPY IS HE WHO KEEPS THE LAW.
( PROVERBS 29:18 *NKJV )

Dear Charles,
The Hebrew word for [revelation] here refers to the Words of
God as received by the Prophets. Thus meaning:
"WHERE THERE IS NO WORD FROM GOD, THE PEOPLE
CAST OFF RESTRAINT."

Now just think for a moment what our lives would be like
without the Word of God. There would be no peace in our
lives, and we would be void of God's Great Love for us as
well. We would have no one to give us strength, hope and
faith when dealing with the problems in our life! Our lives
would therefore be truly empty, and worry and confusion
would rule in our lives!

As Children of God we read and study His Word, and
know of His Great Love and Compassion for us! We also
know that we are in Him and He is in us, for it is written:
FOR IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR
BEING. ( ACTS 17:28 )

Thank Heaven that God chose us to be His Children
for it is written: YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I
CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU. ( JOHN 15:16 )

So the next time that you count all of your blessings,
remember to also count the fact that God chose YOU to
be a Child of His! Just think of how important YOU are
to God, Charles, and what a blessing it is to be selected as
a Child of His! Praise The Lord! Amen.

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

A Father gives his view on New Brunswick's Autism Progress!!!!

Originally uploaded by Oldmaison.
IMG_3784

When my son Conor was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (Initially PDD-NOS, subsequently changed to Autism Disorder) nine years ago our home province of New Brunswick had virtually no autism specific services. Much has changed since then - for the better. And much more desperately needs to be done.


b


Eight years ago an interdepartmental committee comprised of representatives of the Departments of Education, Family Services and Health and various community "stakeholders" examined the services available and, after approximately 18 months issued a report in late 2001 (the IDC Report) which confirmed what we already knew - there were very few autism specific services available in New Brunswick. There was no government funding for preschool autism treatments, there were no autism trained teachers, or teachers aides, working in New Brunswick schools, the place everyone in the mainstream classroom philosophy which has dominated NB schools did not provide for the accommodation of autistic students in a continuum of learning environments, there were few living accommodations suitable for autistic youths and adults and there were no treatment facilities offering autism specific in residence treatment. Then almost one full year after the release of the IDC report, and its timid recommendations for evidence based autism specific services, the lead minister on the "autism file", Health Minister Elvy Robichaud admitted to a New Brunswick reporter that he had not yet read the IDC Autism Report, that he had "too much on his plate" and would get to the report later. Many parents of autistic children in New Brunswick were disgusted and galvanized into action. Our trust in the good will of government leaders was shattered and things would never be the same again.

c


Protests were held at the New Brunswick legislature and government buildings housing the offices of civil servants in the Departments of Education, Family Services and Health.

Letter writing campaigns, radio and television interviews and public announcements were made and meetings resulted with cabinet ministers and senior civil servants.

On April 1, 2003 Health Minister Robichaud announced that $2.1 Million dollars would be made available for a variety of autism related projects, a modest start but a start nonetheless.


Then more procrastination and delay as the government took many more months before announcing that funding for evidence based interventions for autistic children aged 2-5 would be provided to a maximum of approximately $17,000,00 per year. After a long period of many months during which funds, treatments, development time and hope were spent in the absence of any system of accreditation and accountability an agency system was established to ensure reliability and accountability in provision of autism interventions.Training of Autism Support Workers and Clinical Supervisors was provided through the UNB-CEL Autism Intervention Training Program, both developments spurred on by parental agitation and advocacy.

The school system remained resistant to calls for change. The Autism Society New Brunswick enjoyed a nominal place at the table for such events as the Department of Education's Anglophone side Dialogue on Education Committee. ASNB input though carried substantially little weight with the Department's bureaucracy. But parents kept agitating and lobbying and some Teachers' Aides and Resource Teachers working with autistic students have begun to receive autism specific training at the UNB-CEL AIT program and the current government has committed to training 400 more over the next four years.

The Mackay Report on inclusion in New Brunswick schools was largely a disappointment in its discussion and recommendations for autism. Its discussion of autism itself was minimal and shallow. Mr. MacKay's recommendations for training required timelines of 3-5 years before autism specific training would even begin for teachers aides and resource teachers. The process leading up to Mr. MacKay's report though did give the Autism Society an opportunity to speak directly to other stakeholders and parents and to engage department and school district officials in frank, if sometimes unwanted, discussion about the place of autistic students in New Brunswick schools. The philosophy of mainstream classroom inclusion for all had already been losing ground in face of the reality that some autistic children learned better and were not as likely to be overwhelmed in a quieter location outside the mainstream classroom. Social activity and interaction can be scheduled when appropriate to the autistic students capabilities and needs. But the MacKay review process allowed the ASNB to voice its concerns for evidence based child centered education directly to top school, district and department officials. It now appears likely that the Mackay timelines will not be adopted by the Department. The action to improve the educational opportunities for autistic school children is taking place now, not 3-5 years down the road as Wayne MacKay had recommended.

One of the bright lights on the autism scene in New Brunswick dimmed when it was announced that the Stan Cassidy Rehab centre would discontinue its pediatric tertiary care services for autistic children in New Brunswick. The Stan Cassidy had done outstanding work for autistic children with complex issues. The impending loss of its services would have been a devastating loss. Fortunately, the decision was reversed with ASNB and parents playing a substantial role in that decision and with the efforts of people such as Dr. Ron Harris and Dr. Rob Leckey at the Centre, Ken Ross the Assistant Deputy Minister for Mental Health services, and then Health Minister Brad Green. A new pediatric tertiary care team for autism services is now being assembled at the Stan Cassidy's new location on the grounds adjacent to the Chalmers Hospital in Fredericton.

The progress in pre-school intervention and education of autistic school children is not perfect but it is light years ahead of where we started as parent advocates 8 years ago. Now though a huge challenge remains, a black hole which absorbs the lives of autistic youths and adults in New Brunswick. Like many mental health disorders there is little available in the way of decent residential care and treatment for autistic youths and adults. There are group homes in various locations in New Brunswick but the staff, by and large, has no autism specific training. These youths and adults enjoy very little in the way of a quality of life. They are in essence being kept in custody for safety reasons but receive little of the life experiences that most of us take for granted. Frustrations and confrontation with poorly trained staff result in autistic youths ending up in court on assault charges. Treatment facilities dedicated to autism do not exist in New Brunswick and there are very few professionals who are capable of providing the treatment needed by autistic youths and adults .

The abysmal state of youth and adult residential care and treatment in New Brunswick is a disgrace, a black mark against our province in its treatment of autistic persons. There has been much progress in preschool and school services for New Brunswick autistic persons. The battle to help our autistic youths and adults receive decent residential care and treatment must begin and it must begin now.

WILL SHAWN GRAHAM NEW BUDGET REMOVE QUEBECOIS FROM THE NEW BRUNSWICK LEGISLATURE????

Isn't it time for New Brunswickers to once again take control of our own Legislature?

Ignorant Quebecois shouldn't be in control of the Legislature.

People like Dan Bussieres will spent Millions of dollars to deny New Brunswickers the right to the People's House.

Put more money into the Legislature so New Brunswickers CAN take care of their own security.

I emailed the Premier's Office this morning but never received an answer about the ban.

I guess this will end up in court? It's going to be very emotional and dirty!!

Stay tuned!!!!
