They are applying herbicides here for broadleaf weeds (dandelion) some people concerned both ways.
By the by there was a film shown here, admission by donation on Tuesday evening: awakening the Skeena. the river is a major BC river touting First Nations sacred status The website had a propaganda warning on it and it followed by a conference; Fraser River Conservation something, a source says that the group had secured 10 million dollars from the Federal Government some years ago to do some conservation work on rivers. That funding gone, the group was looking for more, the Royal Dutch Shell Company coal bed methane permits that came under a four-year moratorium, seems to overtly been credited to them. No word on whether they were successful in securing more. One thing certain the gal that swam the Skeena River to bring awareness got more than wet . Propaganda a side its ironic that the broadleaf spray happened in the same context as the film and conference.

Supper club fire kills 165 people in Kentucky
This file photo is from a murder in the park of a young man some time ago. Another murder reported on the radio today. Occurring Friday the 21 of May a woman charged with the stabbing death of her husband. This is sad and tells a tale of misdirected lives.
Dead man named two feathers..
Today in history, May 25 1982…..
HMS Coventry sunk in the Falklands War.
This file picture from last year shows a low tech fingerprint collection. The collection is going on within 50 feet of new red light cameras installed with new street lights. The crooks had pushed the safe out of the building and abandoned it in the middle of the night. And sidewalk. Low tech criminals involved? They may have tought that with all the debit and credit card transactions their heavy labour may not have been worth the effort or risk.
The low tech policing in front of the new cameras seems exaggerated. To any that care. Since the Province had begun a pilot project in 5 communities to see if cameras in downtown cores relived the crime rate, and here was not one of them.
No one caught as yet ,that we are aware of; one might wonder how much time the police are spending.
The new coalition government in England has recently promised to oust camera surveillance to some degree there. A good balance to the artificial creation of life in the papers, reported by the Vancouver Sun. Life from DNA recipes activated from recipes stored in researchers computers.
The curse of” may you live in interesting times” seems is getting more and more credibility.

Today February 22 2010 is the day that a verdict in Kamloops Court is to come down for the 2008 triple murder of three children in their home in Merritt. David Allan Schoenborn will be found guilty of 1st degree murder and face at least the minimum sentencing requirement which is determined in part for the protection of the public, or be found not mentally fit at the time of the crime.

for more on the April 6th 2008, topic.
Update : The CBC is reporting that there was a verdict of not criminally responsable. Meaning that when the murder happened the accused was delusional and did not understand right from wrong. This according to a judge is on a balance of probabilities a less strict standard then reasonable doubt required for criminal conviction.
We regret this as we believe that the presumptions need always to go to the innocents.. as it did in the Latimer case in Saskatchewan, we hope for an appeal by the crown after a mental review board s findings are published.

Nehru welcomes the British offer of independence in India and invites all Muslims to participate.
You don’t want to be wearing your feelings on your shirt sleeves when coming around a blind barrier as often the police are sitting in their patrol car…..
The public health people are always concerned with low living conditions, as they effect the general population.This is some of the context they operate in. Is there anything slanderous or libelous about this recently posted sign?
It looks like these two Ravens are sitting with a world view to judge..
Maybe these birds (bohemian wax wings) flew to close to the sun they are obviously dead and some one tried to give them more dignity with subway napkins. There were great clouds of them scooting down to a frozen berry tree and back to the relative safety of a tall evergreen tree, as a hawk was at the top of another large evergreen tree watching like the cliché hawk.
However no hawk got these guys….
