About 40 grade twelve students are about the 1900 block of Nicola avenue at this writing  holding a finish ribbon for competitors in a school triathlon. he competitors team up in threes and each take an event including a bike from lower Nicola an unincorporated area about 5 miles south on highway 8, and a run from 1900 Nicola , up through Parker behind the bench and around back by the golf course to 1900 block Nicola a distance of about 6 KMS and finally 20 lanes both ways in our olympic indoor pool. The demeanor of the runners is hard  and full of effort, as vocal cheering takes place.

Opinion:this is a good sign for those young people involved and boads well for those that seem to take it serious.Kudos to Merritt Secondary School.

Book sale

This morning the regional library saw a line up for used books at the opening time of 10 Am. there were about 30 odd people that waited to get at the used book bargains presented . The sale will go on for 2 weeks and one free book  per day coupons are in the newspaper and at the counter of the library. a steady stream of people enjoyed picking up used paper backs  for 50 cents and hard covers for a dollar.

What is left over after 2 weeks are destined for the recycle bin and the cycle of withdraw will begin again. The library stays fairly current and some bppks are only a year or so old when withdrawn.

Bears

I took a picture of a pile of bear scat on the sidewalk behind the local A and W off Voght street yesterday Am. the Scat was full of mountain ash berries something not that attractive a meal to bears there are crab apples a block away. A rather large pile, meaning a large bear.

A model bear and long term celebritybear of whistler was shot yesterday because of; as with all bears was too adjusted to humans which can be an eventual tragedy as bears have conditioned actions sometimes called instincts that can  be activated by humans and when the way the humans always lose. A bear can travel  very fast  when they decide to come after something and people have little chance of escaping without some bad results.
