Today June 9th 2022 is coral triangle day. This observance is an international observance by the UN and endeavors to bring attention to the health and wealth of the coral system in the seas around the planet. The element of food security is a fundamental part of the day and the keeping of the environment at its base the ocean is also fundamental.

Today is also known as dark and stormy day. Dark and stormy day takes its name from a rum and a ginger beer and the observations of the pirate at the coloration of the clouds when he was drinking. We hope that he doesn’t have the last word on the disposition of this day and its remedies. And rather would hope for more civil thought going into the observance of our life on this planet, on this day, and forevermore.

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.
