The downtown community police office had covers from 50’s era crime magazines, they all depicted a pretty women as a victim and protected by detective and police work.

The city hosted a  number of events of the 1950 era but no Elvis was seen. BC rivers day was part of the weekend including a rubber duck race on the river , wooded fish painted by grade school students and secured  on the back fence of the lawn bowling green that borders the Nicola River.

Breathilizer

The radio reported yesterday that drunk driving is now .05 and not .08 one source says. The matter has been under debate.We have not seen ANYTHING (except last April’s announcement) published. Will confirm.
However the file in this locked police car reads the “refusal to take breathalyzer” seems strange for a file to be left in public view in the midst of a debate on road side suspension.

PS: remember both refusal to blow and .08 are criminal records that can affect your employment.

Cycles two weeks on boat.

BIKES TWO WEEKS BY BOAT


These travelers from europe say that they put their bikes on a ship and flew here the bikes took two weeks. Another couple from Holland said they got a speeding ticket and the police said they will not come to Holland to collect. My advice is to pay it immediately or file a dispute immediately( to get your day in court) and to avoid the possibility of a bench warrant. You can do that at any government agent office in any community in BC; do not pay the police.
