On September 24th I was out and about and learned about a bad neighbour. Its not the first time I have listened to complaints about neighbours, groups, the Town, and other things but this time I was flabbergasted.

| Norman Ritchie Centre Recycle Area, September 24, 2013 |
Here is the incident as described to me. A man in a pickup drove up to the Norman Ritchie Centre to throw his garbage into the Centre's bin; something you are not supposed to do. He picked up his bags and threw them over his truck and missed the bin. People who lived on the street saw him about to leave without picking up his garbage and confronted him to pick it up. He refused and drove away. Someone followed him and challenged him to pick it up. His response? "Its not my job."
Community is about relationships. Community is about beauty. Community is about respect. And community is about working together. It's no one's job to do anything but if we don't do those jobs there is no community.
Thank you to our friends and neighbours on 2nd St for taking the time to periodically clean up the recycle area at the Norman Ritchie Centre.
I have seen the better angel of Kindersley's nature and it is beautiful.
