About the CBC Story Today

Dear Blog Readers,

This morning I read a story by CBC Journalist Jenna Head; you can find it here.

The story is full of misinformation.  The writer doesn't even know where New-Wes-Valley is- that's how little work she put into that story.  'Near' Bonavista Bay?  🙄  

I would like to point out that they did not contact this blogger's email, and so the statement about anyone not being willing to be interviewed is a big fat lie.  And yes, I checked the spam box.  Nothing.

I'd love to hear your feedback about the story.  Anonymously or with your names, or a pseudonym, whatever you're comfortable with.  

Location: New-Wes-Valley, NL, Canada

    Ad hominem fallacy is a sign that you know you’re in the wrong and have nothing but your soapbox to stand on.

      This story is so poorly presented that an answer hardly seems necessary. Not a question regarding why the events leading up to all the drama occurred. I'm just wondering where all the accusations made by the acting CAO have gone? Seems all of the issues were answered by a lawyer and the charges disappeared. It's a pattern all too familiar to those in this community. Someone enters the chamber with questions and they are through various means shown to the door.

      Instead of refuting the points the article made, you've decided to attack the presentation. Again, this only proves the point Anonymous was making.

      We have named this piece "Middle Feather" as the artist seems to chicken to put their name on their creation. Not much for principles when there's no one to stand behind it.

Questions from Resident

As a concerned citizen of NWV I have questions around th e qualifications of the current CAO, as seen below in a post from the town of NWV   in   May of 2024 it is stated that she is a project manager. According to the Gardner Centre "Fundamentals of Project Management" is a 2 day course and is only one small part of becoming a "Project Manager" with many more requirements to get your Project Management Professional (PMP) designation and be considered a Project Manager. Next is the statement that she is "currently completing her MSc in leadership for Sustainable Rural Development through MUN". I decided to reach out to MUN for some clarification-  this is a copy of the response.     This raises a couple of questions for me. •   Are these the qualifications that were used to promote from the inte rim   CAO position to the full time CAO position? •   Is this individual the one we want representing our town as we are goin...

In Response to the CAO's Response to the 1st Concerned Citizens Newsletter

We've been asked many times about the slides that the Chief Administrative Officer spoke about at the beginning of the March 18th 2025 Council meeting, and we'd like to explain what that was all about. For those of us who know the previous CAO, it was obvious immediately that an attack was being made against her without an opportunity for her to respond.  For those of you who are still in the dark, prepare yourself with a cuppa and read on.  The first set of bullet points blames the previous CAO for mismanaging the town office and the budget, hoodwinking the Council into doing things they didn't want to do, overspending, and even hiring a family member without the Council's approval. The second set of bullet points boasts of savings and underspending, a CAO tough on rules and procedure, and a better qualified office staff in general since the resignation of the previous CAO.  It also makes the Council look guilty of not taking their jobs seriously. Look at the heading d...
