I've gotten a lot of e-mails lately from people saying they can't get on my site. I've been building a new site but my old one shouldn't be affected and I've been able to get on it so I'm not sure what to tell you, but keep on trying. I see the new Call Centre I wrote about he other week is one step closer to opening in St.George. It was reported in Friday's Courier that the Call Centre would be located in the former Community Centre across the falls. The Centre will employ between 50-60 people and renovations to the building have already started. Interviews have already started taking place in St. Andrews and I believe employees currently working in St. Andrews from this area will be offered a chance to relocate to St.George, so it's hard to say how many new employees will be hired. It would be nice to see jobs like that come here to Blacks, but nothing is in the works yet but space is available in our undeveloped industrial park if someone wanted to pump some money into it. The monthly cash distribution for Connors Bros. Investment fund for February was 10 cents per unit. You won't get rich quick by any stretch of the imagination but the fund is doing well closing out Friday at $11.75 a unit where it's been hovering for some time now. Things have been quiet in the Harbour as workers at Connors expect to be collecting unemployment in the next couple of weeks. The good news is Hoopers Convenience has introduced a new streamline menu for breakfast and dinner that won't cost you a fortune. You won't find cheaper affordable prices anywhere else, trust me. It's great to see them open for breakfast again. Now if only we could get them to stay open longer. Speaking of longer what do you think about this entire racket on Sunday shopping. My feeling is this. If stores want to open on Sunday let them. I don't see these people who are crusading against Sunday shopping trying to close down convenience stores and coffee shops. Aren't these businesses and people too. And the funny things is I saw this thing on the news where people were holding signs protesting Sunday shopping and one guy I recognized from Saint John. I remember him because one SUNDAY before Christmas I was at McCallister Place in Saint John and this fellow was in front of me joking about the huge crowd saying "doesn't anybody stay home on Sunday's anymore". Is that a hypocrite or what? As things begin to slow down people are relaxing taking in some of the Olympic games. There isn't a whole lot of stuff on TV right now. People were shocked about the thumping the Swedes put on Canada in their first hockey match. And of course everybody's heard about the Jamie Sale/David Pelletier fiascal. It just doesn't seem right to have two pairs teams get gold medals. To me they would mean as much. To most of the world Canada cried till they got gold and that's not right. Here in Blacks we don't care. Hell, give them all gold. Food is always a favorite topic of mine and fries are on top of the list. Beginning in May, H.J. Heinz Co. will ship a new line of Ore-Ida frozen potato products called Funky Fries featuring five new shapes, colors and flavors, all intended to give kids even more say over their parents' grocery store lists. The new products include french fries flavoured with sour cream and chives, cinnamon-and-sugar Cinna-Stiks and Crunchy Rings -- basically Tater Tots with a hole in the middle. Then there's Kool Blue, a sky blue, seasoned french fry, and brown, chocolatey Cocoa Crispers, designed "for kids with a sweet tooth." This all from the company that brought you green and purple ketchup. I had a bottle of green stuff for about a year. Nobody would touch it. It tasted like regular ketchup but nobody could get by the color. I haven't seen the purple stuff, but it'd out there.
