Snaps From Last Night's Rockin' August
Hi Don,
Some snaps from last night's Rockin' August.
A parade of cars down St. Vital avenue.
Pontiac Beaumont and a Plymouth Barracuda on Perron street.
A street rod gets some looking over.

St. Albert Taxes Completely Out Of Hand
Hi Don:
Just a suggestion, what is your opinion? I wrote the following to each member of council in letter form and am delivering it to City Hall.
To the St. Albert City council:
I would like to express my opinion to you, relative to 'more funding to the Arts & Heritage Foundation'.
Members of council were elected to represent all segments of society here in St. Albert. Up until now more than enough funds have poured in and forwarded to this group. I would suggest that they put forward some effort and see if the private sector including businesses would forward donation of some sort.
Surely a tax receipt would be made available for just such a move. Our taxes have gone completely out of hand over the past 10 years and I believe a majority of taxpayers cannot see this continuing.
A hand delivered letter should have more of an effect, do you not agree?
PS: Re the 150th Anniversary Financial Report. I understand it will not be out before Sept. 24th, a date that Margaret Plain has to submit some figures on a statute that is in conjunction with the group. If they keep on putting the date back, perhaps we will forget all about it? I doubt it.

George it is hard to dispute your logic, something various councils over the years continue to miss. They all have wasted money by bowing to the demands of former councillors and the so-called elite who influence the A&HF.

Today's Veggie: Patty Pan Squash
The patty pan squash (in French: le pâtisson) is a member of the blended summer squash family. Shaped very much like a UFO with undulating edges -- each bump a tiny cockpit with an alien inside, presumably --, it can be conical or squat, and comes in shades of yellow, green, or white.
These are exceedingly yummy. I love them raw in Salad but here's some unique recipes for them and other squashes.
