Enough Dead Rotting Poultry Already

86 year old grandmother Cora-Belle McGinty has allegedly been driven to the brink of reason by a not so well kept Ramsay secret - the stench of rotting meat that wafts throughout the neighbourhood on a daily basis.

"It's time, it's just gotta go" McGinty was quoted as saying, as she paced fretfully up and down 21 Ave SE late Sunday night, carrying a placard.

"I live within earshot and nose shot of that stinkin' Lilydale", she said.

A reminder that the offal bin had recently been covered evoked a derisive response from Mrs. McGinty, President of CAUSE (Citizens Against Urban Stinky Environments).

 "A little chain link fence and a piece of green fabric won't keep magpies out!  Or the STINK!", she snorted.

Call In the Stink

"This is it.  We're doing something proactive.

If you see a problem with Lilydale, you call City of Calgary ( 311), 

Alberta Environment (1-800-222-6514),

the Calgary Health Region (403-943-8060), and

Lilydale  (403-265-9010)

and ask them to RECORD YOUR COMPLAINT. 

Because they don't.  If we all do it, every time its unbearable, it will have an effect.

In the meantime, we're gonna deploy The Device."

At this point Mrs. McGinty paused to catch her breath, as a cloud of dust from Hurst Road enveloped her, stirred up by a giant truck roaring through the stop sign. 

"Really, the City should be able to do something on the traffic issue alone."

>> Mmmm Chicken

Art Can Change the World, even a Stinky One

McGinty's eyes darkened, then suddenly gleamed with hope,

"I firmly believe in the power of art to transform society.  A bunch of Ramsay artists are making something called  "The Device to Root Out Stink". 

"They're gonna deploy it  Friday night.  And by gum, I honestly believe it will work.  That factory is gonna finally get out of Dodge."

McGinty paused, then stated with weary resolution,

"I've lived here all my life.  All I want to do is sit outside in the summer without throwing up from the smell.  Is that too much to ask?"
