June 6 to 9, 2011; Gateway and work

JUL 6, Wednesday,
Another easy day at work for me! Val also went to work, she got a new job supervising practicum student at the Open Learning in Kamloops. We had Happy Hour at Bruce & Joyce, our new neighbours. There was an open house presentation on Gateway at the fire hall in Scotch Creek. A few of our neighbours attended and I gather there were a few surprises and upset owners including me when I heard. For one thing, they are planning on cutting back on the storage area and put more commercial buildings. This could affect a lot of us on the storage issue. They are also planning on building effluent storage tanks from our sewer treatment plant in the present compound and those near are not very happy. The saga continues


JUL 7, Thursday
Same as yesterday! It was sunny and hot today, work, work, work!


JUL 8, Friday,
It poured rain last night and overnight, heavy at times and lots of lightning and thunder. Most of the morning was rain but it did clear up in the afternoon. I went to work and Val went to Chase to bottle our wine and picked up some groceries. It was business as usual at work even if it rained; we still had to clean sites and make sure everyone was content.


JUL 9, Saturday
There was a “Rate Payer Committee meeting in Scotch Creek and Val attended with Bob and Gail and Ron & Theresa. More complaints about Gateway on that front and they are adamant in stopping the project but that nothing new; we had the same stories last year
Last day at work for this week and it was quiet. I heard all about the meeting when I got home and at Happy Hour. Neighbours Dan & Heather joined us. For dinner, Val made BBQ Pork Chops and I cooked them on the BBQ. Ron and Theresa joined us for dinner then we played Wizard!
