Dear X is still missing .. a storm took out the pole five years ago and its still not be replaced and more importantly the other pole plaques are noticeably n re-arranged to remove the existence of "September 14th" plaque.. why? Who is behind this deceitful effort? Stay tuned as we expose the players involved..

A true Sackville mystery... 

September 14th, 1959 is the birthdate of the new Pope Leo XVI ... FYI.

The not-too-bright minions of the Town Hall were advised ages ago on Twitter by me about this missing September 14th poetry plaque and the need to replace it after it was lost during a storm that took out a pole .. and that it STILL needs to be replaced... so in case you ever wondered why their missing plaque is in the sequence its lost... which is unfortunate and disrespectful of Douglas Lochhead's memory .. that is the ongoing and confounding mystery solved.. the incomplete collection of poetry plaques by WW2 veteran, first Poet Laureate of Sackville N.B. Mr. Douglas Lochhead's "Poetry on the Poles" September 1 to September 30 ... displayed along the poles of Main Street Sackville New Brunswick.

And as more disappears here sometimes it seems like a good idea to document the losses here for my readers .. to remember what has been before.

Seems unfortunate to me that the petty town hall staffers would rather block me on their Twitter than act in good faith and take action on a request to replace this missing plaque which was lost after a storm took out a power pole that was later removed along with the attached plaque and lost from the landscape... Bruce Phinney Town Councillor advised he would look into it but nothing has been done.. what do these elected people actually do for their paycheques?  Seems like Bruce is a little wrapped up in the local fire hall drama... more here:

weird priorities.. as always..

just noticing.. as always.

677. Tantramar Mayor Andrew Black - This Friday on Youtube

Coming up this week on Youtube... 

local Mayor of the Town of Tantramar Andrew Black will be interviewed by "Cross Border Interviews" 

Cross Border Interviews with Chris Brown was Produced and Edited by Miranda, Brown & Associates Inc. © 2023

Call me old fashioned but I like a Mayor who "sells" his town as a spokesman for why its a great place to live, do business, start a life, build a life, prosper and thrive.. I don't like a Mayor who continually whines and complains and has endless fears about the climate... one must accentuate the positive if one wishes to grow our town's economy.

I think there is a lot to celebrate here in Canada in 2023 despite the challenges there is hope and there is a great future for our people but it will require leadership [not obediance and submission] with will-power, strength, wisdom, bravery, compassion, intelligence, insights, broad-mindedness, radical inclusion, perseverance, honesty, and a vision for the future... does Andrew Black possess these qualities? Time will tell.  I would request that Black instruct his staff to stop blocking commentary at "TantramarNB" on Twitter by Indie Media Eastcoast [same goes for Erica Butler] .. blocking is a sign of weakness.. and shows intolerance for diversity of viewpoints/ideas.  Andrew Black is on Twitter.. here... twitter.com/SackvilleBlack

"Beauties in New Brunswick photography project since 2011" - by Indie Media Eastcoast - a local censored content creator.. some might say infamous in the town.. others might not even be aware of this media source since Facebook, Twitter and Youtube did such a great job erasing the content from the net... if people don't realize it yet.. they will soon enough.. we are in a culture war.. more at the 2019 video here:

Have requested that the Management here attend to the replacement of the missing September 14th "Dear X" plaque for the Poetry on the Poles by Douglas Lochhead a number of times but it is still missing and they have re-arranged the plaques to hide the reality that this plaque is missing from the landscape.. why?  As nothing has been done for over a year by the Management a further request was lodged with Town Councillor Bruce Phinney who had advised that he would look into it.

This negligence by the Management is disrespectful to the family of Douglas Lochhead who was the Town's first Poet Laureate..

Why Does The Town Management Refuse to Replace September 14th Plaque of Poetry on the Poles? Douglas Lochhead

 Canadian Poetry Online | University of Toronto Libraries | Douglas Lochhead (utoronto.ca)

Douglas Lochhead's Poetry on Poles... is now an incomplete masterpiece in the downtown... why?

Douglas Lochhead - Wikipedia

Its replacement has been requested by your's truly a few times... noted the continued absence of the plaque which has resulted in a re-shuffling of the other plaques to fill in the space... curious.

"September 14 

dear x,

it is of course the silence to which

I have referred elsewhere. this is the

killing or loving thing between two. here

is the killing, and there is nothing to be

done about it, because, admit it, at least

to yourself, you and I are too timid, really

too much afraid to do something (at least

something would be better). so now the

non-letters I continue to not receive breathe

a heavy breath and it makes this place leap

up and fall back ..... how do you set characters

now the metal ones in the stick or do some

of the glancing moves remind you of me and

spoil it because it is no escape, is it?

perhaps there will be something tomorrow .....

I doubt it wise one."
