Jackasses Are Not An Endangered Species.

When I write a post, I never know what the response will be.

Am I the only one who thinks like me?

Am I  revealing too much of myself  during  these days of continuing litigation?

Will  the topic  interest  anyone out there?

Yesterday's post received an  immediate  flurry of three comments from someone with  the monicker of  "Artsy-Fartsy". He/she  commented  again this morning to suggest I hadn't posted the comments  because I was  afraid.

My policy is simple. I will print  opposing comments so long as  they contain logical argument and are  civil.

I print some that don't make sense to me but are civil; thinking someone else may understand the thread and wanting to encourage participation. It's a roomy tent.

I will not print venomous comments . Especially from someone caught in the coils of admiration for self-styled promoter extraordinaire,the St Kitts woman.

From exploitation of the Farmer's Market. To  accounts of requesting  money to allow her to shop at a supermarket,  as opposed to buying product from  vendors to donate to the food bank, to quitting  the executive when her objective had been achieved and fees were refused  for what she considered her valuable  promotional skills.

As a member of a sub-committee of the town, taking charge of  an event which had always raised sufficient  funds to pay for the July 1st Parade but in her charge, produced  only enough  to pay  costs of the event, the last occasion  it was held at the Legion.

To be first to muscle up to the bar for free use of the town's Heart of Heritage facility, purloined by other devoted friends of the town's former Chief Magistrate for their own purposes.

To demanding  free use of  facilities at  the town  park and ordering people entitled to be there, seated comfortably at a  town picnic table  provided in a location for the purpose, enjoying a  breakfast sandwich purchased at the market, to leave the park.

To ordering  town staff to rent  port-a- potties for  regular park users not paying an admission fee to the St Kitts Jazz Festival.

To claiming ownership of  the toilet facilities until legally notified otherwise.  

To  compelling seniors and people with children to  walk around  the park to gain access to washrooms without entering through the  five foot chain link fence controlled  by security guards on her payroll.

To  accounts of demanding service clubs providing  food and operating a beer garden to support their own community service projects,  to surrender  proceeds  to herself.

To putting Susan Morton Leonard out as a front in 2011, as speaking for a foundation,  to demand  a   "sponsorship" from the town in a specific amount , while committing to provide a financial accounting  after the event and not doing so.

The event  was  declared a monumental success by  SML to the media , acknowledging  support from all except the Town Of Aurora. They collected rent of $250, from vendors in our park, an admission fee of $5. a person from  attendance of  6000, a town grant worth $5KS, a Trillium grant of $25KS and a food vendor and a beer garden, presumably contributing what the service clubs would not.

I regard St Kitts the Untouchable to friends and admirers, to be a monumental opportunist the like of which this town has never seen before; bold as brass and twice as brazen

Without fear ; favourable mention  of the St Kitts family business of Music and Entertainment, accompanied by abuse of myself, or not, will  not be provided in this space.

Not now.

Not ever.
