Last year, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood sparked controversy when he defended his ongoing collaboration with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa The pair had two concerts scheduled in the UK for next month and both have been canceled amidst the BDS Movement Greenwood and Tassa performed in Tel Aviv almost a year ago Sanctions movement to accuse Greenwood of “artwashing genocide” by playing a show in Israel while the country’s military committed genocide against the Palestinian population In his statement at the time, Greenwood wrote that “silencing Israeli artists for being born Jewish in Israel doesn’t seem like any way to reach an understanding between the two sides of this apparently endless conflict.” He and Tassa have not yet commented on the new cancelations, but the BDS Movement reacted on their Instagram: Jonny Greenwood and Dudu Tassa’s show at Hackney Church has also been cancelled Palestinians welcome the cancellation of both of their UK shows We reiterate our call for all venues to refuse to programme this complicit event that can only artwash genocide Greenwood and Tassa were slated to play the Bristol Beacon on June 23 and London’s Hackney Church on June 25.

She was given “a suitably royal send-off” at a small service in Melbourne’s Yarraville on Sunday, according to her partner, writer David Greagg. Greenwood, who lived in nearby Seddon, died on 26 March. Greagg, posting on Greenwood’s official facebook page on Monday, said he had refrained from making a public announcement until after the service. “Kerry was an extremely private person and had no wish to share her pain with anyone,” he wrote. He said her “condition had deteriorated to the point where I could not keep her at home any longer”. “The end was mercifully quick thereafter.” Read moreBorn in 1954 in the inner-city Melbourne suburb of Footscray Greenwood started writing fiction as a child and wrote her first book as a teenager – a fantasy novel titled The Magic Stone She later studied English and law at the University of Melbourne and worked as a criminal defence lawyer for Victorian Legal Aid for more than two decades Her enthusiasm for justice and writing bore literary fruit about a mystery-solving baker in Melbourne Greenwood was given the Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award recognising her “outstanding contribution” to Australian crime writing awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for services to literature ‘Kerry gifted us one of the most powerful and positive and inspiring heroines’: Essie Davis as Phryne Fisher in Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. Photograph: Publicity imageGreenwood was a prolific writer whose output included plays, award-winning children’s books and nonfiction, including the 1996 essay collection Things She Loves: Why Women Kill. Even after her writing career took off in the 1990s, Greenwood continued to work as a locum solicitor. At her funeral service on Sunday, her brother said, “The quest for justice is what drove her.” While Greenwood’s publisher said her writing had slowed in recent years due to poor health, she was still writing until recently, posting on Facebook on 18 March about the newest Phryne Fisher book, due out later this year. “Murder in the Cathedral is undergoing transformation from an extensively edited Word file into proper pages. This is a slow process, involving mysterious alchemy, scattering of rose petals, muttered incantations and the like, but it progresses,” she wrote. Read moreOn the news of Greenwood’s death her Facebook page was flooded with tributes from fans and readers wrote in a statement that she “had two burning ambitions in life: to be a legal aid solicitor and defend the poor and voiceless; and to be a famous author “As a duty solicitor she was outrageously successful Some of her earnings were spent on riotous living but Kerry gave a lot of it away without fanfare to those who really needed it: fellow authors down on their luck an embroiderer and a seamstress who made most of her own clothes as well as a chorister and a very wise and exceptionally kind woman curious about almost everything – Kerry will be sincerely missed by her family On Instagram who brought Greenwood’s famous sleuth to life on screen wrote: “Kerry gifted us one of the most powerful and positive and inspiring heroines in Phryne Fisher She has rescued and empowered so many people I’m so grateful Kerry chose me to embody her Kerry’s spunk and flare and research and moral compass Sign In Subscribe Now Dialogue and debate are integral to a free society and we welcome and encourage you to share your views on the issues of the day.

in Mason Greenwood’s Marseille contract are growing amid claims the forward is pushing for a shock return to the Premier League and with two factors forcing his exit from the Ligue 1 giants The 23-year-old has been forced to rebuild his life and his professional career overseas, after Manchester United decided it was best to move him despite charges of attempted rape and assault being dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service and the case discontinued in February 2023 the Red Devils decided to sell Greenwood to Marseille last summer for a fee of £26.6m (€31.6m though the move did present United with a big-money cut of any future deal To that end, United secured the rights to obtain a further 50% share of any profit Marseille make from their initial Greenwood signing – potentially adding millions to Ruben Amorim’s transfer kitty somewhere down the line Now reports of a move away from Marseille are starting to gather pace with Greenwood both unsettled in the south of France and with Marseille’s ultras making their feelings clear on his performances And now reports in both France and England claim that the Bradford-born attacker is ‘pining for a return to England –  putting a string of Prem clubs on red alert’ A source also told The Sun that Greenwood is hoping that the “vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit and people may have moved on” with the “novelty” of living in France wearing off The source continued: “When Mason first left United he loved Spain He and Harriet moved to Madrid and rebuilt their lives “He loved the fact that he could just play football and his life off the pitch was not the subject of such intense focus “He was really happy to sign for Marseille and loved living in France but he is very introverted and misses his extended family and the friends he has from home “A move back to the North West could suit him as he feels the vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit READ MORE 👉 Mason Greenwood ‘flexible’ sell-on clause FULLY explained as Man Utd set for big windfall Reports in France go on to explain that Marseille’s supporters a group of hardcore ones are known as Ultras have made it clear what they think of Greenwood’s efforts in recent weeks despite the fact his numbers speak for themself and Greenwood has  managed 19 goals and five assists from 34 appearances so far His cause has not been helped by OM boss Roberto de Zerbi who insists the forward must “sacrifice” more for the team to make himself one of the best after recently dropping him from his starting line-up De Zerbi said: “No one can have more respect for him than I do But that doesn’t change anything: I expect more from him because what he is currently showing is not enough “If he wants to achieve his ambition of becoming a champion While The Sun refuses to name a particular club he could end up at there are only a handful of Premier League sides who sit within the boundaries of what their stipulation that Greenwood ‘wants to return to the North West’ Aston Villa – an 85-mile commute down the M6 or Wolves (74 miles away) could emerge as options were the player be willing to commute Or there could be Premier League newcomers who also sit with the radius of clubs who could potentially bring him in And while such a move looks highly unlikely to say the least their chairman Paraag Marathe has vowed to spend whatever it takes and as much as they can within the boundaries of the game to give Leeds a fighting chance of survival in the Premier League Meanwhile, United midfielder Mason Mount has strongly criticised the team’s performance against Brentford while head coach Ruben Amorim is in despair over the injury to Matthijs de Ligt Elsewhere, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed his bafflement at why United decided to sell a top midfielder last summer However, rumours that Arsenal are in contact to sign a player Amorim has already decided is not part of his Man Utd plans have been quickly cleared up with the player’s preferred next destination now coming to light And finally, United are reportedly close to launching an official offer to sign a top-notch Brazilian midfielder with Amorim’s plans

meeting Councillor CJ Rhodes pointed out a letter from FortisBC regarding its public safety power shutoff policy in the information items the company will be implementing a policy to proactively shut off power in areas deemed high-risk for wildfires during extreme weather.  “It is a tool of last resort utilities across North America are introducing to reduce the potential risk of wildfires,” the letter read “We also understand the communities we serve rely on electricity especially extended ones can create significant challenges impacting both critical infrastructure and vulnerable customers.” This policy was introduced at the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary’s last board meeting and there was significant pushback on the new policy so this should be up for discussion at the next City Council meeting.  One of the issues raised at the regional district meeting was while it’s not devastating in communities like Greenwood for the power to go out for a while it could be detrimental for rural residents who rely on consistent power for their homes Residents who are not in immediate danger will lose their power with this kind of shutoff policy putting their homes and operations at risk “How the lines work is there is a line at the front of the street and if it’s cut off at the beginning because there’s an issue there everyone down that line will lose their power,” he said “The rural residents were the most vocal about this because hundreds of people could lose their power I’m not in favour of this and I think we need to be proactive because it sounds like they are just going to do it because they want to.” CAO Dean Trumbley recommended Council direct staff to contact the RDKB to get more information adding he shared Councillor Rhodes’ concerns North West

also be a factor in how far sound may be noticeable the Radiohead guitarist and revered film composer released a collaborative album The duo was set to perform in Bristol on June 23rd and Hackney on June 25th These concerts “would have whitewashed Israel’s genocide against 2.3m Palestinians in Gaza and underlying settler-colonial apartheid regime,” the post states It goes on to explain: “Jonny Greenwood, guitarist with Radiohead and The Smile had performed in apartheid Tel Aviv along with Dudu Tassa in May 2024 on a night that genocidal Israeli forces massacred displaced Palestinians in their tents in Rafah The BDS statement then turns explicitly to Tassa’s involvement with Israel, reporting that Tassa is more complicit than his birthright alone. It states, “Dudu Tassa has repeatedly entertained genocidal Israeli forces in between these massacres of Palestinians in Gaza, willingly acting as a cultural ambassador for apartheid Israel.” In response, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) had called for “‘boycotting, peacefully disrupting, and creatively protesting’ The Smile’s tour, after its failure to distance itself from Jonny Greenwood’s shameful artwashing of genocide.” In this case, artwashing refers to the use of art to mask or legitimise negative actions, particularly those associated with gentrification or social cleansing. The post finally calls for the boycott of all future The Smile and Radiohead events, “until these groups convincingly distance themselves, at a minimum, from Jonny Greenwood’s crossing of our peaceful picket line during this genocide.” Neither Greenwood nor Tassa have commented on the cancellations.

This announcement comes as Mark Greenwood—owner of Amey’s Taxi—retired this past December. Owned by the Greenwood family since 1945, Amey’s Taxi has been a Kingston fixture since its founding in 1922 Likewise, Coventry Connections is a family-owned business with deep roots in the transportation industry, dating back to 1938. Marc André Way, the company’s president and chief executive officer, as well as the president of the Canadian Taxi Association represents the third generation of his family to lead the business which now operates a fleet of over 1,500 vehicles across Ontario In their news release, Coventry Connections stated it would be “business as usual,” and they would honour all legal obligations of Amey’s Taxi, including abiding by Ontario regulations and upholding their standard of safety. Amey’s runs a host of services including airport services Way said Coventry Connections remains committed to the community and plans to actively support local charitable organizations He asserted Amey’s Taxi will simply be operating under new ownership with a principal focus on improving the Amey’s image while continuing the company’s legacy “We don’t enter into a community and disappear so our goal is to be heavily involved in the community and to continue whatever what Mark was doing,” Way said Way implores them to consider Amey’s Taxi as a safer alternative given their unique safety measures and focus on hiring trustable drivers “Our insurance programs are much stronger [than competitor ridesharing apps] and that is something that [prevents] the risks of getting into a car that is not properly licensed and properly insured,” Way said For instance, he explained Amey’s will be placing an emphasis on implementing hiring practices and training in their quest to elevate the transportation industry to another level. Way also indicated his business model for Amey’s Taxi will set itself apart from competition with its pricing “Where we’ll make a big difference and where we’re making a difference across the other cities within which we operate is that our pricing is fixed Surge pricing—the practice of charging more for a service based on high demand—is a large deterrent for many from services like Uber that use this tactic to garner the most profit possible Other taxi companies say the desirability of fixed-priced taxis is especially helpful so students can budget their transportation accordingly with pre-set rates regardless of inclement weather or busy times Amey’s Taxi’s fixed prices also bode well for drivers under Way’s corporate umbrella “We as taxi operators have two sets of clients: the one that takes a taxi from ‘A’ to ‘B’ and the driver […] our goal is to do better than [other ride-share services] and make sure our drivers earn more than they would anywhere else,” Way said Way has big hopes for the future of Amey’s Taxi now that its been taken under the wing of Coventry Connections “We’re much quicker to be able to diversify depending on the service needed so anything from deliveries to school transportation […] we’re involved in pretty much every aspect of bringing something […] from A to B and we do it quickly and we do it efficiently,” Way said As for his long-term strategy for ensuring profitability in an increasingly competitive market Way says Coventry Connections is still in the early days of the acquisition and is primarily focused on employee and customer experience “We’re still in the studying mode […] we’re trying to understand the driver’s side of the business as much as the users,” Way said we’re] looking for what’s missing […] there’s that learning curve that we’re going through.” All final editorial decisions are made by the Editor(s) in Chief and/or the Managing Editor.

"He loved the fact he could just play football and his life off the pitch was not the subject of such intense focus," the source continued "He was really happy to sign for Marseille and loved living in France But he’s been abroad for nearly two years and the novelty has worn off," the source added Greenwood is reportedly missing his extended family and friends from the UK and a move back to England will suit him again “Mason’s family visit but he is very introverted and misses his extended family and the friends he has from home," the source said Check Out: Chelsea Punish Liverpool, Man Utd Suffer Defeat "A move back to the North West could suit him as he feels the vitriol he previously faced has died down a bit and people may have moved on.” The City of Greenwood Council and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary have endorsed the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department's contingency Fire Service Business Plan which was the main topic of discussion for the Feb The City of Greenwood's 2025 budget includes the fire services plan receiving an increased tax requisition for fire services at 1.3086 per $1,000 of assessed value CAO Dean Trumbley said during the meeting they will see the budget for the fire department at $233,000 for 2025 bringing it closer to what other small cities like Greenwood allocate for their fire services adding Greenwood’s has been chronically underfunded for years and needs funding and a plan to improve it.  The 2024 amount for the fire department was $107,950 Councillor Gerry Shaw asked for some discussion as he had a few concerns over how some aspects were written including the budgetary portions and wanted the tax requisition as a separate motion and discussion as well as a separate meeting to talk about proposed reports.  He explained that while they do talk about budgets they don’t touch on the reserves in the budget which the city will need to know as it will be going towards purchasing another fire truck.  Councillor CJ Rhodes was in agreement with Shaw’s requests he added the report as it’s a good look at why the city is “suffering” in terms of fire protection and how it can take what it has now and improve services have a real concern on the tax impact on our community,” he said “One of the things I have trouble getting out of these reports is how these suggestions are going to affect the current year of taxation.”  Greenwood is going through budgetary processes right now and the city has to be careful about impacts It was ultimately decided that the fire department tax requisition would be kept at 1.30 but there would be discussions later about looking at lowering the city’s overall tax rate from 5.5 to five and drawing on reserves and other funding options to lessen the burden on taxpayers and in turn lower the amount of tax residents will pay to get the fire department to its $233,000 budget Council also approved that mayor and council direct staff to incorporate the proposed 2025 fire service business plan budget into the 2025 preliminary budget.  Trumbley stressed these motions were just about the budget key initiatives in the plan will be discussed at later dates.  The plan and a comparative analysis of tax requisitions for fire service in the Boundary Area are available in the city council meeting package The city’s budget and overall mill rate will be discussed at the March 10 Committee of the Whole meeting stating the plan outlines a budgetary and comparative need for enhancing the capabilities and overall effectiveness of the fire department in serving the city and rural Greenwood area.  “By aligning with the city's Corporate Strategic Plan which prioritizes fire protection as a top objective the council and regional district recognize the vital role that a well-equipped and properly trained fire department plays in safeguarding lives and property The financial support as a result of this endorsement will allow the fire department to go ahead with essential upgrades which include advanced training programs for firefighters modernization of equipment and facilities and increasing recruitment and retention of dedicated volunteers.  The results of this will mean improved response times and enhanced firefighting capabilities that will allow the city to tackle fire emergencies.  “By addressing the previous shortfalls in funding that hindered the department's ability to maintain optimal service levels the City of Greenwood and the RDKB are sending a clear message that the safety and well-being of their citizens are of paramount importance,” the statement read Asset management work garnering attention around the region Greenwood will be looking further into having the Regional District of Kootenay-Boundary (RDKB) on its asset management team A memo was presented to the council recommending finding out more information on how a proposed regional asset management shared service model could be used City CAO Dean Trumbley spoke to Council on it stating the RDKB is behind Greenwood in regard to asset management but recommended they have a representative from the regional governance on the city’s team “We do have in our policy the opportunity to develop an asset management team but it might benefit us to have an RDKB member as a part of that team to help bring regional perspective and to show cooperation,” he said.  He added it’s also an opportunity to show best practices because as the city and region work on their asset management plans city administration could find some more opportunities This will be more to explore the idea further but no solid commitment to have a shared plan.  who has been involved in the talks with the RDKB added he would also like to see a panel with representatives from each community on this board This would be informative for all the community CAOs to stay on top of asset management and learn from each other If you are a resident wanting to see changes to backyard

that both shows have now been cancelled Responding to the first gig being called off PACBI wrote on X: “Palestinians welcome the cancellation of Jonny Greenwood and Dudu Tassa’s concert UK on the 23rd

nor Tassa have publicly responded to the news of the shows being called off Their family had a nephew who was serving in the Israeli Defense Forces and was killed in the ongoing war against Hamas Reacting to the controversy after last year’s Tel Aviv shows Greenwood wrote: “I’ve been collaborating with Dudu and releasing music with him since 2008 – and working privately long before that And silencing Israeli artists for being born Jewish in Israel doesn’t seem like any way to reach an understanding between the two sides of this apparently endless conflict Greenwood concluded: “So: that’s why I’m making music with this band what we do but I hope you now understand what the true motivation is and can react to the music without suspicion or hate.” PACBI said in a response provided to NME: “By performing in apartheid Tel Aviv while Israeli forces burned Palestinians alive in Rafah Gaza – a fact he conveniently omits from his letter – Jonny Greenwood is knowingly complicit in covering up these atrocities “All Palestinian/Arab musicians should refuse to act as figleaves for international artists crossing the Palestinian picket line – or for Israeli artists who have entertained Israeli forces massacring Palestinians as Greenwood’s collaborator Dudu Tassa has repeatedly done.” Greenwood and Tassa released the collaborative album ‘Jarak Qaribak’ in 2023 an Arabic title that translates as “Your Neighbour Is Your Friend” The album was made up of traditional Middle Eastern love songs recorded with a range of musicians playing modern interpretations Radiohead have performed in Israel numerous times throughout their career and their show there in 2017 proved especially controversial as well as Archbishop Desmond Tutu – asking the group to “think again” about their decision amid an ongoing and widespread cultural boycott of the country Radiohead Fans for Palestine also wrote, in an open letter to Thom Yorke “it is the Palestinian people who have asked you to boycott and if you’re going to justify your show in Tel Aviv it is them you should be addressing.” At a solo show in Australia in October, Yorke clashed with an apparently pro-Palestinian protester

The world’s defining voice in music and pop culture: breaking what’s new and what’s next since 1952 Mason Greenwood received mixed reviews for his performance in Marseille’s draw with Lille as the ex-Manchester United star was branded “frustrating” The future of the burned-down Greenwood School was before council on Feb A written notice of entry for 102 South Government Ave was on the table for debate and approval to allow the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department and city staff to come on the property to clean it up as it’s been deemed a health and safety hazard The property in question is the old Greenwood School which burned down last spring in a massive fire that also destroyed St a shed and damaged a private home behind the school.  This is to get the first steps in remediating the property explained corporate officer Brooke McCourt She added she would be working with the building inspector and bylaw enforcement officer on this matter and if this gets passed they will send a notice to the property owner of the notice to set a date when the city can enter the property to assess it.  “I know there are some concerns about going onto the property because of the asbestos that is known (to be there),” McCourt said it’s still up in the air what will happen with the actual report you can put a notice of remediation on that property and go from there.” Councillor CJ Rhodes said the community should have an explanation as to why this property hasn’t been cleaned up He also asked why the city is being tasked with entry and remediation but wanted to know why the city has to take this on “I’ve been asked by many people why there has been no action since the fire and the fences have been put up,” he said “I also have a lot of concerns over our ability to do it and I’m sure it’s an enormous cost to do anything on that property right now.” The site poses a health and safety risk to the city because of both asbestos and parts of the building falling down If the city doesn’t move toward some sort of action and continues to do nothing it could be potentially libellous for the city “It’s kind of like we are turning a blind eye and leaving it alone even though it’s private property,” he said “As long as we are in the process of trying to get it fixed or try to get the hazard taken out it will wash the city of any liability if something were to happen on the property.” The city already has a report on the asbestos citing it as a medium-to-high health and safety risk Rhodes voiced concerns about the cost of removing asbestos citing a friend of his who ended up paying around $38,000 to have asbestos removed from his private home He could see the cost for the property in question costing up to $500,000 factoring in the square footage of the building.  And they still have to clean up the rest of the property he voted in favour and the motion was carried unanimously.  Request for monthly accounts payable report approved Deputy Fire Chief designated as fire inspectors Chief Roy Terashita and Deputy Chief Pat Sheppard were given the designation as the city’s fire inspectors and fire investigators.  Along with these designations comes a plethora of training which will start with the mandatory Office of the Fire Commission course being released later this month adding new legislation requiring the city to have fire inspectors and fire investigators as per the province’s Fire Safety Act Once Terashita and Sheppard are well into their training and application of service a succession plan will be identified to start training the next generation of fire inspectors and fire investigators Fire protection a priority in city’s strategic plan  Mayor John Bolt and city councillors unanimously voted to conduct a full-service review and eventual master plan development that will be integrated into the city's corporate strategic plan asset management system and allocated resources through the annual budgeting process.  These planning documents drive the budget allocation process and ensure that the council is spending in a strategic manner to achieve service quality objectives.  The service review and master plan will have town

Sign In The City of Greenwood is proactively stepping up its fire inspection efforts in 2025 to ensure full compliance with the new Fire Safety Act recently passed by the Province of British Columbia's legislature With approximately 40 commercial buildings within city limits each structure will need to undergo a thorough fire inspection to meet the stringent requirements laid out in the act City of Greenwood personnel will work together with the dedicated members of the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department they will meticulously assess every commercial building using a comprehensive decision matrix that categorizes each structure as low This risk-based classification system will enable inspectors to tailor the depth and scope of each inspection concentrating their efforts on the highest risk buildings the onus falls on the shoulders of commercial building owners to ensure their properties are fully compliant with all provisions of the current Fire Safety Act This landmark legislation aims to safeguard the public from the myriad dangers posed by potential fire incidents not only protecting the lives of occupants but also mitigating the risk of fire spreading to neighbouring structures The City Council has announced the appointment of two new fire inspectors to enhance public safety and ensure compliance with fire codes and regulations Chief Roy Terashita and Deputy Chief Pat Sheppard have been selected for these critical roles they will be responsible for conducting thorough inspections of buildings and public facilities to identify potential fire hazards and work with property owners to address any violations or areas of concern Terashita and Sheppard will undergo rigorous training to further hone their skills in fire prevention Their expertise and dedication will be invaluable in educating the community about fire safety best practices and collaborating with other city departments to improve emergency preparedness Both Terashita and Sheppard have also been appointed to start receiving training towards becoming the City’s Fire Investigators as well the City reaffirms its commitment to protecting the lives and property of all residents and visitors by maintaining the highest standards of fire prevention and safety Better community engagement is one of several key priorities Greenwood’s city administration will be implementing as it rolls out its strategic plan.  Residents were invited to the first of a series of Town Hall Meetings on Wednesday evening at the McArthur Centre to start talking and planning for the city’s immediate and long-term future city council reached out to performance coach policy and governance expert Christina Benty whose experience includes being mayor and a city councillor for Golden with some pointing out others wanted to come Admitting the announcement was short notice CAO Dean Trumbley apologized and explained city staff have been busy with several projects adding better communication systems with residents is among the priorities council is working on Starting with announcing this is the first of what is planned to be regular workshops with the public as well as announcing the first of a series of Coffee with Council sessions starting Jan Benty started the presentation by explaining that she council and city staff had already been in a series of workshops helping to identify issues at the administrative level They called her because after her nearly 12 years in local politics in Golden she’s learned a few universal truths about local politics she wants to share with other municipalities to help reinforce the relationship between citizens Benty said governance is more than just council meetings it’s about building a community that has a long-term future with a strategic plan officials and staff to prioritize what is important and look at some hard numbers Elected government's main goal is to plan for the future by making decisions now that will help guide future administrations and safeguard assets Making promises like low or no tax increases are great for an election promise but all parties have to ask themselves if it’s feasible for long-term goals A strategic plan is being made for Greenwood and these workshops have a twofold purpose: to keep the public informed of progress as well as gather feedback on priorities.  “I’m part of a larger project of the whole asset management that we are doing here in Greenwood,” she said “I’m a social scientist by trade and I am really interested in how municipalities make decisions and what’s the goal of local governments in our minds and why as citizens folks need to be paying attention because it matters to local government because it’s the organization that is closest to the citizens because it oversees what they use on a daily basis.” Another observation she shared is almost all politics are local pointing out the most immediate services are handled at the local level “If the federal government disappeared today you wouldn’t notice for maybe a month or two,” she said likely when you go to use a public restroom and flush the toilet and it doesn’t work She admitted Greenwood has had issues with asset management over the years but pointed out that is a common problem across all municipalities in Canada One mistake many make is people get elected on a platform of a few issues they are faced with managing a lot more than what they were campaigning on then breaking down and it’s left to successive governments to pick up the tab and get those assets back up to standards.  Another issue is not having a clear idea of the resources that are at the disposal of a community Which is why Greenwood is undergoing an asset management plan how it’s being managed and what can be done to make sure it’s there for the long-term “We are looking at this and it’s likely it will be tough numbers but at least you will know where the city stands right now and what needs to be done for the short-term and long-term,” Benty said Stronger communication policies are also essential to help people find reliable information rather than rumours Governance and citizens are going to have to work out a system that reaches across all forms of communication: print phones and webpages because people communicate differently They need to figure out which ones are most effective.  she encouraged people to ask questions and provide comments One that was a common theme was infrastructure planning with a few pointing out a pattern of projects being started – specifically sewer and water and flood mitigation – then in three or four years being dropped or stalled.  Benty agreed that there is a perception of a disconnect between citizens and governance but that is often because the parties stop talking to each other directly Governance and citizens have to keep communication open throughout the entire process reiterating that there are three components: residents elected officials and city staff that have to work together.  All communities want the best value for their taxes and lifestyles but citizens and community governments have to be realistic and work with what assets they have The second in a series of interactive Town Hall meetings brought about 20 people all of city council and CAO Dean Trumbley to the McArthur Centre on Thursday evening to talk about local government community services and the roles citizens have in shaping the future of their communities Leading the discussion was performance coach whose experience includes being mayor and a city councillor for Golden for a total of 12 years She and council and city staff have been working on a series of workshops since late last year to identify issues at the administrative level Jokingly referring to herself as a “recovering politician,” she reiterated that her experience with municipal and regional politics has taught her some universal truths about governance and is offering her insight to help residents and local governments understand their roles and responsibilities Building on the discussions on roles and responsibilities from the first Town Hall meeting in January Benty led a discussion on the progress the city has been making While this was to reiterate that Greenwood does have some daunting long-term projects to maintain and improve services she praised the proactive approach city administration has been taking so far to address them a large portion of municipalities in the province have aging infrastructure they are trying to address,” she said Greenwood is well ahead of most of them by looking at the assets you have what needs to be repaired and creating a plan to best manage and maintain them for future generations.” Benty added she was surprised more people didn’t attend considering the advance notice and the point to these meetings were to help people meet and talk directly with city staff This was also to reiterate that while local government may not be the top priority on people’s radar it’s the one that has the most responsibility for the direct services they get for their tax dollars the federal and provincial taxes residents pay are disproportionate to that reality about 50 cents goes to the federal government leaving around eight cents for municipalities.  “So you can see why we need to be realistic in what we want and crucially maintain the assets we have and plan on how to replace them for future generations,” she said.  are campaigning hard to raise the tax requisition for municipalities even by two per cent to help fund improvement projects so they can meet coming housing density requirements “A lot of communities like ours have aging infrastructure and are at capacity for water but housing increases are being downloaded at the same time,” he said “We can’t build more homes on what we have Even getting an extra two cents out of that dollar would help us tremendously which is why we are taking that demand to UBCM and the province to change the taxation and funding ratios.” to exemplify the high priority water and wastewater has for residents and the city Trumbley brought in a section of iron pipe that was pulled out of the ground after a recent water main burst for people to look at makes up a good portion of the city water infrastructure the 10 water breaks Greenwood recorded last year and the Calgary water main break last winter Benty pointed to how this is considered invisible infrastructure because it’s literally out of sight for most people so it is sometimes forgotten until it fails.  Trumbley added this is why the city is undergoing mapping the state of water and sewer to have permanent historical data of what they have and how old it is to better predict and anticipate when it will fail giving priority to the highest probability areas for replacement with what materials and assets they have.  but so far this mapping tool has shown the high probability for failure areas to have been the ones that have actually had breaks so we know mapping is working,” said Trumbley with attendees sitting together with city councillors to talk about what services were important to them the level of service they are getting now and what they want and what they can afford Several other concerns and desires were brought up including attracting more retail stores and restaurants improving the kids park and building a youth recreation facility These concerns are being recorded for administrative planning with more Town Hall meetings being scheduled Teenage

after suffering ill health for a number of years The tributes are beginning to flow in from across the world from her many fans and followers She has left us a great legacy in the form of her many books and our memories of the author herself In 1989, I had the pleasure of meeting with Kerry shortly after the publication of Cocaine Blues the first in what would come to be the Phryne Fisher series I well remember suggesting that it would make a great period crime drama Kerry and I first met in Mietta’s restaurant where we sat at a small table in an elegant art deco bar how she had been trying to write a novel about highwaymen but had been persuaded by her then publishers She had at some point written a thesis about the strikes on the Melbourne wharfs in 1928 and 1929 and had read every newspaper she could find so she already had the perfect historical backdrop for a crime novel set in the period The idea for Miss Fisher came to her on the tram going home When it was later suggested that her charming female action hero might bear some similarity to the Saint or James Bond, Kerry trenchantly responded with the comment that Phryne “had fewer product endorsements and a better class of lovers” Kerry was always a stylish writer and Cocaine Blues opens with brief first paragraph that does not waste time in getting the story moving: Over the general exclamation could be heard the shrill shriek of Madame St Clair It was with great glee that Kerry informed me that Madame St Clair’s exclamation was a direct steal from The Adventures of Tintin as created by the Belgian comic artist Hergé at our next meeting Kerry presented me with her French edition of Les Bijoux de La Castafiore (The Castafiore Emerald) The anecdote reveals not only the eclectic range of Kerry’s sources (and the fact that she read French and was something of a polymath) in her care for the waifs and strays that she encounters not forgetting that Kerry was a barrister who worked full-time as a criminal defence lawyer for Legal Aid there were relatively few Australian crime writers being published The crime writing scene now is very different Carmel Shute from the Australian chapter of Sisters in Crime informed me that over 150 crime fiction and true crime books by women will be published in Australia in 2025 It is testimony to the increasing popularity of a literary form which women have embraced as a way to tell the stories that matter to them Quite a few of those books sit within what has often been characterised as the “cosy” genre: a subgenre of crime fiction to which Kerry’s crime fiction certainly belongs compared to the kind of “gritty” crime fiction that wins accolades This has obscured the achievement of crime fiction such as Kerry’s in which historical and contemporary social issues are reflected back to us in ways that give us pause even as they are presented in a form designed to entertain This is Kerry’s legacy: a wealth of entertainment with a heart Her novels are provocations to care about social justice even as her creativity will continue to inspire Correction: an earlier version of this article mistakenly stated that the Sisters in Crime Australia screening was in 2022.
