It was good to see this change of heart demonstrated some years back. It could be said that the Community Policing office locating near this shop had a something to do with it and a change of attitude.

There still is a CPO in Merritt it is now at 2026 Granite avenue. It is more inviting then a police station and likes community involvement. The office has information on programs and often offers ways to be pro active about trouble.

July the 2nd was the last day for 2013 tax’s to be paid to keep you current, with the city starting today there is a 10 percent penalty added to the bill. After three years of non payment your property will go on the Tax sale list and will be offered for sale for the back tax’s. There is a further redemption period after a tax sale so it is only a done deal when the tax sale is set aside  by your redemption of  a current state.

There was a steady stream of people paying tax’s at the city hall yesterday morning. If you have a mortgage on your property most often your taxes are in your mortgage payment calculation and are paid by the mortgage holder. this arrangement keeps most properties out of tax tardiness.

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.
