Crx of the matterAbot last weeks olence
Whats been nagging me is the justifi-cation by the mayors
husband foryelling &/or striking Councillor Kroeker:that he was
harassing his wife... Howso, Sam?
Had to be Harrys preamble to a mo-tion to replace the mayor as
the citys repon the TNRD board the part where hesaid hed lost
confidence in her to repre-sent us. The mayor said the motion
wasinadmissible, and she gavelled Harry
out of order. But how so, Sue? Whatmade the motion
inadmissible?
The Local Govt Act, under sect. 784Appointment and term of
office of municipaldirectors [on a Regional District board],states:
each municipal director is to beappointed at pleasure by the
councilfrom among its members.
This doesnt mean that the mayor isautomatically the
representative. It doesmean, though, that when she volunteeredto be
the TNRD rep, the council had tohave agreed. And they did back
then.
The LGA continues: The term of of-fice of a municipal director
begins whenthe person takes office in accordancewith section 210
(3)[oath of office], andcontinues until another director
takingoffice in the original directors place
Seems to me, that far from harassing,Councillor Kroeker was
simply puttingforth an admissible motion, which fellwithin the
framework of councils au-thority. Also seems that the mayors
re-fusal to hear the motion amounts toobstruction of councils duty,
and ironi-cally, a kind of harassment.
Please correct me if Im wrong. KL

Hennng (Henr)Anker NorgaardMarch 9, 1929 September 13, 2013
Henning (Henry) Anker Norgaardof Merritt passed away on
September13 at 84 years of age. He is survived
by his wife of 52 years Clara, his chil-dren Diana (Merritt) and
Allen (Kam-loops); his granddaughters Elyse(Victoria) and Paige
(Kamloops); his
brothers Soren and Iver (both ofCopenhagen); and many nieces
andnephews in Canada and Denmark.Henry was predeceased by his
parentsand two siblings Leif (brother) andDorte (sister).
Henry was born in Frederikshavn,Denmark, March 9, 1929. He
immi-
grated to Canada in 1953 settling inMerritt where he worked at
variousconstruction related jobs. He and hiswife started Norgaard
Ready Mix in1960. Henry believed strongly that itwas not good
enough to simply live ina community but rather it was his citi-zens
responsibility to work to makethe community the best possible.
Dur-ing his nearly 6 decades in the NicolaValley, he dedicated
time, energy andresources to projects too numerous tomention here.
He served on CityCouncil and many Boards in the com-munity and
province, and was afounding member of the BC ReadyMix Concrete
Association. One of hisgreatest pleasures was designing solu-tions
to problems, so much so that hisoldest granddaughter nicknamed
himGrandpa Einstein.
All who knew and loved him willmiss his quick dry humour, the
twinklein his eye and his mischievous smile.
A celebration of Henrys life will beheld October 11, 2013 at the
MerrittCivic Center at 3pm. The family re-quests in lieu of flowers
donations bemade to your favourite local charity.
Message to the Red Nkon Camera ThefOn the weekend of September
6th, a thief or thieves decided that it was ok to come
onto our rural property and help themselves to whatever they
could take out of ourhorse trailer. It was obvious that you were on
foot and came down the bank to tres-pass on our property (didnt
anyone ever teach you that trespassing is wrong?).
You explored inside the barn and the horse trailer and I suppose
to your delight,you thought you hit gold when you found my Red
Nikon camera in the horse trailerand took it. Although, a person
should never get attached to material things, I was
attached to my Red Nikon camera (a Christmas present from my
husband) that Iwas extremely pleased to receive. Oh by the way my
husband and I both work reallyhard at our jobs, so we can pay all
our bills and enjoy a few extras in this life. Do youwork? Do you
enjoy extras that you have earned through honest hard-work,
some-how I think not. If you are in need of help because you have
no money to eat, payyour bills or provide for yourself or perhaps
your family; there are many great agen-cies in Merritt that could
help you out. If you just decided to steal because that iswhat you
do, shame on you and just know that everything that goes around,
comesaround (you know Karma) and stealing in this world is still
unacceptable and justdown right wrong.
So, if anyone is offered a deal on a Red Nikon camera (which may
come withmany great pictures, which I am still steaming mad about
losing) please know thatthis is my camera and I would love to have
it back. Oh and to the thief or thieves,you could return my camera
and come clean, oh what a concept that would be hey!P.S. To the
neighbourhood on Hwy.8, lets all keep our eyes and ears open for
each other.
Sincerely, Red Ex-Nikon camera owner, Leah Mobbs
