Ducks on Nicola river, which way is south?

The cold is back this week with temperatures dropping unofficially to near minus 20 celsius. There is little snow on the ground and we expect that frost is building in the ground.  The Nicola river that flows through town is building ice seemingly without  concern by ducks that remain here.

CBC FM upgrade

FM radio

Source says a Contractor for the Canadian Broadcast Corporation is upgrading the FM broadcaster here and in a hundred other  communities. An employee says he is happy they got the work.” It  isn’t our regular job”; says a man on site.

The  current receiver is a wire antenna between two poles about 100 feet from this upgrade.

The closest CBC FM presence to here is Kelowna 88.9 Radio one you can listen to FM radio one on your computer, our local private FM station is Q 101.

Found property

A bicycle is said to be waiting to be picked up by the bylaw officer from the downtown policing station. Found property is kept 3 months then disposed of , by crown assets disposal in the past some bikes were given to non profits  for fund-raising. To have an insurance claim a bike needs to be stolen and a file given from the police. Most bikes found are under the 500 dollar deductible limit for insurance some bikes are really expensive. We think that it is a burden on police resources to be chasing these things. So keep your bike out of sight and out of mind.

Remember there is a six month limitation period on petty crimes and you always run a chance of being called as a witness to a prosecution in that period.

In general attention should be paid to terms of coverage of policies still loss prevention helps us all.
