Writer-Citizen DSBN Trustee Candidate Gary Atamanyk
Yes, this is a writer blog but I am a citizen with children in the District School Board of Niagara public school system. There has been a woeful lack of coverage of the school board election, so I am using my role as a general busybody and citizen to interview the 9 candidates competing for the 4 seats representing St. Catharines and Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Candidate Gary Atamanyk has not responded to the list of 12 questions send to each of the nine candidates, but did send the statement below:
Hi Kate
First of all, I do not have any political party affiliations whatsoever. As a public school trustee for 7 years from 2003 until 2010 I have purely represented the educational interests of all students first, before all else, and I will do so in the future. My record speaks for itself. As for any other information that citizens need in order to make an informed and wise decision whether to vote for me, it can be found at www.electgary.net where some of my experience and effective performance as a public school trustee at the District School Board of Niagara is summarized.
I ask for your public endorsement and your vote,
Gary Atamanyk

When I was in high school, I was lucky enough to be part of a writing workshop with author Barbara Greenwood. Every member of the workshop was to write a short story for a group anthology. I thought we should call it "Cornfields of the Sea" instead of "This is..." or "There are..:" or another open-ended title that meant everything & nothing. My title got dangerously close to winning before my supporters got scared. I was being ironic, sarcastic, overly emotional, distant and oppositional all at the same time. And now, I cannot help being all those things. Hence the title of this Goodreads blog.
