A spent casing for this weapon was found on the walk path on Voght . The casing was in the middle of the path and was in an area where vehicles don”t often pull over. Baring some child playing with it we remind you readers that discharging a fire arm in City limits is illegal and a wounded bear can be more dangerous then a healthy one with a clear path of escape.

yes try as you might…..

Charging station in use: The charging station to accommodate electric vehicle quick charges was seen to be in use this week, here in Merritt BC

A car with BC Hydro markings was using the single outlet on Voght street.

The out let allows for a 4 hour charge that may get  the user up to about 85 kilometers of driving. An overnight charge on regular 120 volt at home will produce the same thing.

The station has been noticeably not in use for the months it has been here.There is talk of other being added soon, this may make it more attractive for use. The stations are GPS enabled for smart billing technologies.

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.
