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.

There are three more benches going in on Voght going up the hill and in front of the RCMP building.
A source with in the city says that council voted recently to install them.The benches are an attractive design with steel wagon wheels for protection and hand rails at each end. The first prototype was build locally and complement the bus shelters about town.
However the first bench installed after this vote is without the wheels and has a stenciled relief of Merritt Inc 1911. the city incorporated to undertake an electricity generation scheme that after supplying power caused the towns insolvency by a relief act of the provincial legislature.
A councilor H. Kroeker was a former building supply owner and a recent emphasis on trades in the high school and college seems to indicate a bent toward the construction of unwanted housing. A home was build for a private owner on Garcia Street using the high schools students and equipment a couple of years ago and they placed a beam and rock center to mark the completion of the trades and transition project.

There is a terrorist attack on the United states resulting in the loss of the world trade center in New York, severe damage to the Pentagon and a near miss on the Capital or White House. More than 3000 lives are lost.
Opinion:
The world has changed in the last few decades and the need to have secrets abated. Shared security and its value to the planet with projects such as the international space station give pause to think. The whole concept of stolen ideas and patent fraud as it were; on the back burner.
The interdependence of the business world and a mature attitude of the good business sence of an interdependent outlook, means that thugs and mugs are not using angles to lever knowledge. Rather in our post war age people understand that their interest will be served better by a defined relationship ( our part in your discovery) as it comes to a market that consumers drive, the demise of the exclusive business relationship has a demonstrative effect as patent holders licence out and do not hold ransom new technologies but try to realize reasonable profit margins on huge volumes serving many human beings.
We find it sad to see that there is a remaining attitude with the RCMP in BC and wish that Spy Vrs Spy would stay a cartoon spoof.

There are negotiations on here for the renewal of a contract with the province to supply municipal police services from the Federal Police Force.
The press is reporting that a take it or leave it offer is on the table from the feds for March 2012 renewal. The feds are also tendering 30 plus billion in navy ship building contracts and a proposal is in their hands for work to be done in BC shipyards by an eastern shipbuilder.
The BC Provincial Police force was used even up past the end of the second world war in BC and this renewal for the RCMP comes after the completion of a 20 year contract with the province for its 6000 members that the feds supply to municipalities here.
Two police officers were murdered in this community in the 1930s a BC Provincial Police officer and a Dominion Police Services of Canada officer , their killers, surname George, were hung at the New Westminster penitentiary for the killings.
The second war era RCMP were responsible for national security today that task is done by a civilian agency the called CSIS….
The Justice Institute of BC trains police and jail guards for civil police and authorities in BC.
