The glitz and glamor of doing yourself up can include paste, around here it would play well especially at high school. Probably not in Hollywood . They say Hollywood is high school with money , so who else can we emulate on a budget, that’s a small town advantage .

Found property
A bicycle is said to be waiting to be picked up by the bylaw officer from the downtown policing station. Found property is kept 3 months then disposed of , by crown assets disposal in the past some bikes were given to non profits for fund-raising. To have an insurance claim a bike needs to be stolen and a file given from the police. Most bikes found are under the 500 dollar deductible limit for insurance some bikes are really expensive. We think that it is a burden on police resources to be chasing these things. So keep your bike out of sight and out of mind.
Remember there is a six month limitation period on petty crimes and you always run a chance of being called as a witness to a prosecution in that period.
In general attention should be paid to terms of coverage of policies still loss prevention helps us all.

Western Union stops its telegram and commercial messaging service.
This sheve wheel likely sat on top a mine head frame at one time and is now an object of interest in someones yard.
I drilled at a place called mill creek some years ago and there was a flooded shaft with a wooded head frame on it that this would be right at home with. There were lots of these glory holes about in the last century great depression era.

Boris Yeltsin announces that the Soviets would no longer target American cities with nuclear weapons.
This home is on the bench in here. The Bench was a new development when the mine opened in the early 60’s. My Dads Uncle built the second home as a contractor and others after. The bench had a color divide until this home was purchased by an Asian. Now owned by another Asian who has two subway franchises here, it’s a different world now. We think that it was not on purpose but reflected the economic divide and a the minority status of Asians immigrating here that worked agriculture and sawmilling, the richness of the mine brought people with more expectations than those from overseas.

American Civil Liberties Union founded.
Another diver son program and alternate school that has emphasis on positives with a less than positive client base, peers able to find positives without the competition of the elites. There are a number of these things about here; all small-scale and without the distraction of large numbers.
