  • World War II MemorialThe Japanese needed security and provoked the second world war for fill. Yes fill, the crafty fellows thought that the world would respond by firing artillery shells into the island nation, plugging holes and filling cracks so that they had land to live and grow on. That has to be true as when the game went atomic the war was over because no more fill.
    England, Japan and New Zealand are about the same size with the latter being slightly larger than the Japanese 4 islands that house their 100 million people.
    Points
  • Snakes, there are no snakes in New Zealand as In Ireland they didn’t make it out of the ice age.
  • Did I mention that the Mauri go down to spirit bay to start their long, long journey to Paradise?
  •  A least one 1200 year old tree centers the splendid sand and greenery for the fauna in New Zealand
  • A small lizard survives the from the Dinosaur age we think he must have liked to eat frozen snakes.
    • Did I mention that the Mauri go down to spirit bay to start their long, long journey to Paradise?
  • product placement
  • 1/4 acre syndrome; the  inhabitants of New Zealand have lawns and single family dwellings and their favorite pastime is self home renos.
    • Did I mention that the Mauri go down to spirit bay to start their long, long  journey to Paradise?
  • 20 to 1 sheep, there is peace and contentment as the 3 million odd people in New Zealand can all count sheep to go to sleep at night.

It’s a long, long way to paradise from spirit bay….

If the Japanese can make it to Vancouver they can fly for about a thousand dollars to New Zealand  via commercial air carrier .

Note there are poisonous sea snakes in the ocean off New Zealand     .

Clean Bin; Opinion

The peg leg production film Clean Bin played last night here in Merritt about 60 people watched and then asked questions of the stars. The Contractor working for the regional district had a box to recycle batteries and cell phones as well. The film was admission by donation. and the question arose why it was poorly attended the producer said that there was a disconnect with the CBC at this showing and said that their preference is two showings per community.

Some powerful imagery was presented in the film including albatross chicks from Midway Island in the pacific apparently dead with plastic waste in their stomachs.

The issue of the Cache Creek land fill came up in the film and on the phone witha regional district offical said that that was not his mandate however lasndfill costs run about 100 dollars a ton. And to presnt alternatives was a concern of the District.

Our view is that the films attempt to show a concern for reuse  and recycle gave a good sence of a relief of the social pressure that sometimes keeps people using and consuming new products and plastic wrapping.

Live smart and make some choices against extra packaging and you will please the producers of this film.
