LATENIGHT - MIRAMICHI

Sunday, May 23, 2004

I've probably been slacking off this week but it feels like my time is being eaten away. There was an early deadline for Tuesday's cartoons so the middle of the week saw me being fixated on coming up with ideas (mediocre as they were) and then drawing them out for submission.

The earlier the deadline, the more clairvoyant I have to be in predicting what will make the news. The obvious answer is "the hospital". Miramichi has been dominating provincial headline because of the impending cuts, the demonstrations, and also because they fired the CEO who had honourably warned his staff they were coming. The province's spin on this is that he retired, which met with calls of "Liar!" from Elizabeth Weir before she was summarily ejected from the legislature. Latest news is that the planned methadone clinic is being canned. Since that's a health board project and has little to do with the province, it's a wonder why the health minister is also throwing his weight into this one. Essentially, our area is being targeted for dismantling, service by service.

... And that $25 Million over five years that was lauded a few weeks ago, will do nothing to counter the estimated $28 Million per year of financial impact the closure of the hospital is going to have on the community.

Another time management defeat is that I tend to get a lot of visitors at the office. Since I work evenings and into to the night, my friends have usually knocked off work around the time I am just getting settled into something. As much as I find it counter to my nature, I guess I'm going to try to switch to daytime this week. I justify my hours by noting that my future clients are mostly in Korea for the projects I am doing now. That's a 12-hour difference. However, I have a more local project that may benefit from some old-fashioned 9 to 5 work anyway.

Another plus is that I might finally be able to catch the remaining episodes of that PBS series I've been waiting for since they started advertising it in March.

Colonial House escaped me last week. I missed it's regular hours... and even missed its rebroadcasting overnight. To keep me satiated, I was lucky that I was still getting home in time to catch the series they added afterwards, 1900 House. Being the history buff and misguided romanticizer of the old days that I am, I totally eat this stuff up.

As of today, my disappointment is gone. It turns out that PBS rebroadcast again all of the episodes of Colonial House to date. I managed to catch the whole works in a few hours this evening. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

All in all, it's a fun show but a few of the participants seem a bit soft albeit this is a lot more realistic and exacting than a show like "Survivor". The 'governor' of the colony appropriately labeled some of them as being like 'children' when it came to responsibility. In contrast, the real children seem to handle it better-- and 1900 House is a great example. The kids in the Victorian house, although suffering their own problems, they are bright, inventive, and reasonably rock solid (while their parents emotionally crumble around them.)

Okay. Now I really feel like white trash. I'm spending the bulk of my waking hours today watching T.V. In about 30 minutes, the "Trailer Park Boys" are coming on. I have to fix up my Dad's computer beforehand, so I had better stop blogging now and get it done.

Lobsterboats

Local news is dominated by hospital talk. Close to three thousand people packed the two exhibition buildings on Monday night. This led to the announcement on Tuesday morning that the Miramichi would not lose its regional status, nor would it lose 100 beds. The first of those is a good thing to hear, but the second isn't as clearcut as one would hope. Nobody actually believed they'd close 100 beds. The speculation was that the rumour was overinflated so that when they closed fewer beds peope would rejoice in victory. (Some say the plan was for 27, as opposed to 100).

The fact is that beds are still going to be cut. Services are also on the chopping block, even if we are to remain "regional". Since those dangers still exist, the demonstration will also remain in the cards. In less than six hours, a eight busloads (or more if necessary) are departing Miramichi for Fredericton... at least I think so. Come to think of it, I haven't received a single email about it all day, whereas before I was getting a half-dozen or more at a time.

Oh well... I'm chained to my sketchpad for the next couple of days anyway. With Victoria Day coming up on Monday, that means there`s an early deadline for next week's paper-- and I`m still stuck for a concrete idea.

In other news, I just stumbled across this and had to post something about it. This new Victorinox Swiss Army knife comes with either a 64 or 128MB memory card. It's perfect for those hard to buy for geek/survivalist hybrids on your shopping list. Colour me tickled. *big grin*

Part of the wharf at Tabusintac

Just a quick little post before leaving the office.

The election results appear to be in. John McKay won the election by about 200 votes, with a 60% voter turnout. The election was pretty much overshadowed however, by the demonstration at Tanker Malley's constituency office. It appears there is a rumour circulating that the Lord government is going to close 100 beds at the Miramichi regional hospital. That's more than half. It's technically just a rumour, but the government won't deny it, and over 1000 people turned out to demonstrate on Monday. Petitions are circulating. I think I have received five in my inbox today.

All in all, there seems to be a lot of tension in the air. There was the fishing trouble I already posted on, but spring is also bringing out violence in the bar scene. Both of the main bars in town had fights break out at closing time. At one, a police officer was assaulted. At the other, which I happened to be present to witness (lucky me), a police car was damaged when some drunk's head went through the rear passenger window. Today I read in the paper that in one weekend last month (April 23-25), local police responded to 90 calls. Unbelievable-- and they want to close down the hospital!

Even me yesterday. I was standing outside my office building and some guy drove by. We made eye contact as he passed and it must of been for a second too long, because he circled around and parked in front of me, staring. I said, "Can I help you?" at which point he got out of his car and repeated it back to me with a thick French accent. I don`t suspect that he spoke much English at all really... but here is a complete stranger who is trying to pick a fight with me. Amazing. This place is turning into bloody Rwanda.

Nonetheless things are on course. The business is shaping up. I've got a couple of unexpected projects being pitched at me (unsolicited I might add). It also looks like I'll be able to make it to a fantastic festival in about 6 weeks and maybe get a few trips outside Miramichi so that I can keep my perspective.

But expect Friday's cartoon to have a twinge of bitterness to it.

Tracadie, NB by night.

I should really be drawing right now, but I thought I'd post a note. My walk in the woods was soothing on Sunday. I saw a couple of partridge on the road, as well as signs of other wildlife (rabbit, bobcat, moose...) Our property has turned into a virtual nature refuge now that it's one of the few uncut woodlots around. Etched into the memory card of my digital camera are some shots I took this morning of a squirrel on the deck. He was trying to get into the bird feeders and so had scampered along one of the railings. This meant that when I approached him, he had the choice of either taking his chances with me or jumping down 8 feet onto concrete. He opted to sit still which let me snap some shots of him with the camera no more than two feet from his face. We also have a groundhog behind the house who is now quite the veteran. He's been around for a couple of years-- easily identifiable by his bum leg. The critter has come back to hobble around the backyard again this year and it almost seems like a shame to shoot him. (I can hear Colin saying, "Almost, eh?".)

On the Tube
The CBC is airing a show on Friday, titled "Screw The Vote", which seems to have ruffled the feathers of some columnists in the Times this morning. It appears that they believe it's sending the wrong message to young voters. The show is a rather sarcastic pitch to the 18- to 24-year-old demographic whose turnout rate in the 2000 election hovered around 1 out of 4 eligible voters. Now with an election looming for June according to insiders, people are wondering what it'll take to get the kids to the polls.

The critics were pretty harsh on the C.B.C. for choosing to air such a cynical piece- including some on the other side of the border (such as Rachel Marsden at the American Daily). We all know how elections work down there though. If we really wanted to follow their lead, there'd be a CBC show called "Screw Up the Vote".

Perhaps people should redirect their criticism since the low turnout is already a fact, completely oblivious to what this program may or may not say. Young voters I speak to tend to fall into two categories. They don't vote because they are either under-informed or over-informed.

Most high school students don't even study Canadian history or political science these days. Course like African History, Classical History, or European History are compulsory while Canadian History is oft times an elective. "We took that in junior high and already know everything!" they then whine, before stumbling over the year of confederation, our first prime minister, or how many provinces and territories exist in our former dominion.

Some kids really cut their teeth on it though and they fully comprehend things like Canada Steamship Lines, the sponsorship scandal, or the vicious omnipotency of the Liberal majority party whip. They've already figured out how useless their vote is-- and so do the columnists criticising the C.B.C. except that in their case they are jealous that Canada's youth have stumbled on this illumination earlier in life than they did and, tongue in cheek as the C.B.C. is presenting it, they're bitter that a competing media entity is helping youth along to that end, with government funding. Meanwhile their handlers, who have consolidated most of the private media in this country, are too busy sucking up to the P.M.O. and Ottawa to brave something so honestly jaded.

Curing youth apathy will rest with either boosting education, or whole-scale reform of the democratic process in this country. (To which point, I say get rid of parties and introduce Nunavut-style politics to the country.)

And for the record, I'm not voting. But that's because my residency status hasn't come back into effect yet. I'd have a greenlight for a fall election but the latest scuttlebutt say the writ will soon be dropped and the election will take place June 28. I guess I'll have to get back to drawing next Tuesday's political cartoon to project any influence I might have.

Third and final photo in my sunrise series

I've had quite a busy week. You might notice that I've only gotten caught up on blogging today. Probably the biggest switch was that I was awake during daylight hours this week-- hence the sunrise photos. I actually woke before 6am every day this week. Partly that was to be prepared to attend the early morning Premier's Breakfast last Wednesday, but with the coming of warm weather this weekend, I stayed in daytime mode to enjoy it.

Lots has been on my plate this week at work. My websites went down and I've had to seek out new hosting. Unfortunately, this came at the critical time that I wanted to bring on subscribers in advance of May. It could be that I won't be able to secure customers until June now, which would mean one more month to work off savings before earning much revenue.

Something else may be on the horizon though. When it's official, I'll let you know. Suffice to say, I've been brought in to develop a publishing venture which could see a press six weeks from now or so. That was also a factor in my diurnal variance.

Time to enjoy the sun now. I'm going to go for a walk in the woods. I have tonnes of new photos resized and waiting to go. I hope to take some more today too. Enjoy the one's I've posted so far this week and I promise to be more diligent in my postings.

Tracadie Bay at dusk

It was rather funny, driving through, Metepenagiag First Nation Friday night and suggesting to Dan that we should get geared up for a fishing riot soon, seeing as how the lobster season was to begin this weekend. Sure enough, he got a call Saturday afternoon that some hostilities were brewing. Looking for another outing in the lovely weather, I chauffeured him down the coast to the French fishing villages outside the mouth of Miramichi Bay. I took the above shot as we reached the final extent of the trip, in Tracadie. You can't see the otter in this picture (in fact I couldn't get a good shot at all really), but you'll have to trust me that the little fellow was swimming just under the lower boundary of this pic.

Tracadie sure is lively at night. They have a couple of a great clubs (as well as a few purportedly excellent seedy ones). There actually seemed to be more activity in the communities along the highway than there normally is in the center of Miramichi on a Saturday night. I'm really looking forward to spending some time up there. There's a drive-in movie theatre, lots of campsites, wharves, and beaches along the stretch from Néguac to Tracadie and beyond. On a warm day I'm looking forward to seeing the historic Acadian Village and the Aquarium, in the event I make it as far as Shippagan.

With luck, I will be able to practice my French a bit too though my readjustment is still a bit faulty. Right now, I have two switches in my brain: "English" and "Not English". Every time I try to speak French, it comes out Korean. While stopping for a coffee at the Néguac Irving, a lady asked me, "Est-ce que vous cherchez une couver' pour vos café?"(sp) and I instinctively answered, "Neh."

She spoke to me in English after that.

Starting this summer, tourists will be able to take the trip by sea. Based out of Miramichi, the Caledonia will be plying this route on week-long luxury excursions for the so inclined. With this year marking the 400th anniversary or French settlement in Acadia, it's a great year to plan the trip.
