Highway of Tears

Boazio-Sir Francis Drake in St. Augustine (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

A break in the highway of tears case is not generating a lot of discussion here A DNA link with a victim to a dead prisoner in the US should be giving some relief however it seems anti-climactic around the Local native run school here in Merritt British Columbia. A source at the school said it generated a lot of papers in the sociology and criminology classes over the years of the event stretching from 1970- 2006.

A van and walkers generating support for the case came through here a few years ago. Giving reminders to personal safety of women.

TGIF Salmon return

Filed under: Environment, Fauna, Fish, Vegtable soup by Kevin Griffiths — 1 Comment

Have a great weekend!

The Nicola River this morning has returning salmon in it.The river level its self was noticeably managed this year with what seemed to be higher water levels and silt for some time. However today the returning salmon are quite visible off of Voght street next to The Rotary Park turn coming into Merritt from the North on highway 5A.

A number of species run in the fall we generally expect Sockeye.

There was a city worker hat brought 8 tables into the old chamber office at 2158 B Voght Street for the polling place for the by-election. The city said it had to spend the same for the by election as for the general,$15000.00 however we think that the small office indicates that the general elections accounting may not have taken in regular city workers costs.
