Comment on King Council Digging Us All Deeper Into Debt by Cleve Mortelliti

Hi Steve,

Yes, not only useful but imperative. How can anyone be expected to make responsible decisions without a full understanding of the consequences? Pretty basic isn’t it…

I will get back to you via email with your request re: King Road. You’re not the first to ask this. The houses of the nearby residents shake every time a truck drives over those bumps. I hope its this summer but I know that the Region is bringing the new watermain along King Rd from the new Dufferin Street water tower to connect to the existing Fisher Street tower. I suspect they would not want to place a new surface until that work is complete. (But then, that would make sense wouldn’t it…;) Stay tuned, and thanks for the comment.

I agree, would be useful to see the bigger picture over time. Also, what in the world is happening with King Rd – will they be fixing it soon??

Comment on Is It Any Wonder Apathy Takes Hold? by Cleve Mortelliti

I was wondering who might pick up on that subtlety! 72 was the year I moved to King City, and also the year that Little Milton Bostock wrote his epic poem “Thick as a Brick”. Little Milton and I are precisely the same age, (eight in 1972) and it was he that turned me on to literature and the power of the written and spoken word. Kingcentric was born long before I had any aspirations of running for council. It was created as a response, and creative outlet to our local rags here in King Township. It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and so it is no coincidence that the design and layout of Kingcentric mimic that of the St. Cleve Chronicle, a concept that is intended to carry on long after I quit this game as I write myself in and out of this political Passion Play. If nothing else, it gives me something to think, write and muse about beyond the mundane of a dry and witless council agennndumb. For what its worth, “Is it any wonder apathy takes hold”, was to some extent a gamble and an experiment – but primarily…a kind of “Carl Sagan” trawl for intelligent life.

“As I peeeeer out…”…;)

Thanks for the encouragement.

Cleve

Excellent article — and oh so true. You have “stones” for telling it like it is Cleve. Plus using Peter Gabriel, Jethro Tull & Pink Floyd all at once is a feat in itself.

Well thought out — and written.

Cleve, I would like to see you add a bit on the financial history of the Township. Specifically, could you present the financial position when Mayor Black first took office, my understanding is that the Township had zero debt at that time a debt over time graph would be an easy way to present this point.

Cleve and Tony,

It was some 20 years ago that the church put up solar panels. Unfortunately, the technology was not good and severe leaking resulted in having to remove the panels. I have spoken with the Reverend. She is going to announce the event at services and engage the wardens to consider panels again, due to technological advances. She and many others p-lan to attend our session.

Thanks,

Susan B

Cleve, last time everyone got excited about going green, in King City the Anglican Church installed solar panels on the roof of the Church. Could they comment on their experiment on going green?

Comment on Development Applications in King City Underway by Paul Harding

Nicely done Cleve. “Lemonade from lemons” is a very appropriate phrase. It is astounding to think of all the opportunities our town council has missed over the years to negotiate a better deal for the citizens of the township with various developers. I know I’m not alone in wondering why.

Thanks for going the extra yard and carrying the ball. Kudos to you. Run for Mayor!

Cleve,

I think this is a wonderful initiative! I would love to go “off the grid”.

Maybe it’s a bit early for that degree of renewable energy in our home!

Regardless, I will be there to be sure.

Cheers
