The Merritt Centennials met the Princeton Posse in action at the Nicola valley memorial arena in Merritt this evening. The final score was home 2 and guest five. That would be Princeton over Merritt in Merritt.
Great fun!.

Super Moon
233581 Miles; this harvest Moon is the first super moon of the year and it is the closest one as yet. Today October 8th 2025 it came as close as it will, as it begins to wane, it will still appear full for a couple days. Enjoy weather permitting. Cloud cover committing.
Fall
Tom Edwards prunes the tree at the Bailey house downtown information center on Voght Street in Merritt, BC. Somebody said careful that ladder don’t fall and guess what? In Merritt, there’s only a few leaves that have turned color.

When and wear
The full Harvest Moon on October 6, 2025, is a significant celestial event, as it is also a Supermoon.Harvest Supermoon DetailsTime of FullnessThe Moon will reach its moment of peak illumination (fullness) at 8:48 P.M. PDT on Monday, October 6, 2025, in Merritt, British Columbia.Moonrise and DirectionFor observers in Merritt, BC, the full Moon will: * Rise at 6:09 P.M. PDT on Monday, October 6, 2025. * Direction: It will rise generally towards the East, near the horizon, a characteristic of the full Moon around the autumnal equinox. The optimal time to view its golden-orange hue is shortly after it rises.The Supermoon EffectThe Harvest Moon on October 6, 2025, is the first of three consecutive Supermoons this year, meaning it occurs close to perigee (the Moon’s closest point to Earth in its orbit).Distance from EarthWhile the Moon’s exact distance is constantly changing, the full Moon phase on October 6 will be at a close distance. The closest point in the orbit (perigee) for this full moon period is around 226,250 miles (approximately 364,117 kilometers). This distance is significantly closer than the average Earth-Moon distance of about 239,000 miles.Why it’s a SupermoonA Supermoon is a full Moon that occurs near perigee. Due to this closer distance, it will appear slightly larger (about 6.6% larger) and noticeably brighter (about 13% brighter) than a typical full Moon.What makes it the Harvest MoonThe Harvest Moon is simply the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox (the start of fall). Because the equinox in 2025 was on September 22, the full Moon on October 6 is the closest one to that date, earning it the title of Harvest Moon. This timing causes the Moon to rise relatively close to sunset for several nights, providing extra twilight illumination for farmers, which is how it got its name.

We were very active back then, surrounded by great people. It was easy. We missed toastmasters myself. I was the conductor of a speechcraft for youth for about a decade…
Helen came up a little short of being 100 years old. Passed a few years ago and most everybody else is still living and happy. Oops Liz Laird is gone.
Please comment if you have any comments about toastmasters or about public speaking or any of these fine people.
I am posting this because I briefly talked to a young lady that had a nice jacket on that said 4-H, and I remember Gloria Capp as one of our members was very much involved in 4-H. She was a rancher and she nurtured young people into the ability to raise a calf to a cow and numbers of other 4-H things. We enjoyed some canned fruit at her house that she had done and they did that in that 4-H program. It was very close to the toastmasters program that sort of thing and
I guessed the young lady’s age at 20 and she said try 35. She looked like a baby.
We go around, zoom around and where we stop, Nobody wants to know…
Merritt BC,Canada…good stop to talk and be keen…
Ostriches are raised for meat, feathers and eggs and are commercial. However these bunch of hostages in the news of late were going away from that and we’re used for tourism. Coming endeared to some keepers. Wouldn’t have been, if it was just for meat.
Avian flu
This is a very serious condition that affects foul and gets into people it can be fatal to people and the closer they are the bigger population areas and more of a risk.
The cull that was ordered by the authorities has been stayed and there may be a presentation between the parties at the Supreme Court of Canada and there is a controversy over testing the remaining birds, 300 out of a possible 450 that had contacted the avian flu and are under scrutiny.
H5N1
The virus involved is H5N1, and could be a particularly concern at the start of the flu season and respiratory illness that could accompany it.
Orange the cue
We hope your day went well. We think of you often, we think of ourselves when we were kids 😉 what an opportunity it was and is and can be passed down.

Rivers pickup our rain and deliver it back to our seas and in the interim they water crops and they mitigate carbon and they mitigate phosphorus and all sorts of things that are being brought to the surface and give us a good environment.
