The END of The KLCA
Kipps Lane News
Written by David Dimitrie   
Sunday, 27 June 2010

 

Editor: David DimitrieThe Kipps Lane Community/Tenants Association will disband in the Fall of 2010. What began as a protest against a massive rent increase by Transglobe Management Corporation in September 2004 has clearly accomplished many but not all of its goals.

It is also difficult for the KLCA to continue without the support services which The City of London is apparently providing another community association on Kipps Lane. Click Here to read what they receive including use of the Northbrae Hub for meetings and much more.

These services have never been available to the KLCA. I did inquire about using the space about a year ago. I was unsuccessful in obtaining use of the community space.

The www.northeastender.ca web site which has helped it to survive in a truly unique way for a community association will either go off the web or the space will be used for other purposes.

 

The most important goal for the KLTA as it was called from 2004 to 2005 was to teach tenants about the current tenant-landlord law and how to deal with our property manager. We worked very hard to teach tenants about documenting repair orders and remaining persistent about repairs. The FMTA in Toronto was a great help to our group. Repairs were the biggest problem when we started.

Much Loved Lions QB from the 80's Eric Hipple writes Book to Help Heal From Family Tragedy
Jock Talk
Written by David Dimitrie

For Lions fans another season is over and the playoffs are once again for other teams. That's the way it almost always is. But we sometimes need to give our heads a shake and realize that it's just a game.

There are not that many great memories that Lions fans can carry with them over the past thirty years. But there were some great individual players. Aside from the Barry Sanders and Billy Sims there are a treasure trove of really talented players who wore the Honolulu Blue, Silver and White in Detroit and Pontiac. A few of them stick out in my mind.

Lions Retired QB Eric Hipple

There was Greg Danielson, the pencil thin quarterback in the eighties  who was smarter than almost anyone on the field and off. He pulled out more wins than most of the coaches the Fords hired to direct that team.

Then there was a young man named Eric Hipple. He debuted early in the eighties because of an injury on Monday Night Football. He demolished the Bears like no rookie should with 4 passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns. He laboured for the Lions for ten years as a backup and sometimes starter and finally retired.

Last weekend I ventured onto the Lions website to learn that Hipple's teenage son had lost his life to suicide. Hipple was devastated. Eventually he put together a book which deals with depression titled "Real Men Do Cry"
