The local community college has a speakers series, its first event of the season last night featured a local member of their faculty, Sharon McIvor. Sharon has an activist’s bent to her career. She is A lawyer but generally refuses income from her place on the bar. Does not like to practice criminal law,she has however a couple of presidents to her credit including O’Connor vrs Canada were she got on going revisions to the way victims statements are reviewed in sexual assault cases and the McIvor amendment to the Indian act that brought 46,000 grand children of the Indian women that lost their status over time through marriage. The women were restored in the 1980s by legislation but their grandchildren were not at that time.
Sharon voiced concerns on poverty oppression and missing or murdered women. she has a voice at the UN through a couple of committees .Sharon also voiced concerns about the relationship of First Nations with the Police. she also said that if it were proportional to population there would be about 19,000 missing or murdered non aboriginal women.
She feels that the way government is addressing issues is by providing money for training to groups, personal safety is the one she took ownership of for her people. She alluded to it being something but seemed less than satisfied.

In 1992 I joined the local toastmaster club. It will be 20 years this month.
The organization is in over 80 countries and this year they had the youngest world champion of public speaking.After after going through the Club, Area, Division, District ,and Region contest a 25-year-old male contestant won at the International convention. Kudos to him and the 60,000 other people involved in the process that saw a speech delivered that was original , well presented and a win for a generation.

There is serious rain here to-day. That is serious to us. In the 1960s we had less than 10 inches a year. Semi desert. In recent years we have 12 . Still we are part of the Great Eastern Desert Basin, it includes south central BC and eastern Washington State.
Two nights ago we had strong winds always a sign that coastal weather is on its way up. The local police station is under going roof repairs with new sheeting being applied over fading colored metal sheathing.
Editors note:We have no idea the feeling and sence of the east coast after Sandy. But have confidence in the citizens and applaud the decision of the marathon to run and help at the same time.
We feel that unless a piece of plywood is neglected and blows off the police station we are in little danger from the elements. ( thats on the balance of probabilities )
