Notice
the low in image above marked A All
those closely spaced pressure lines ‘promise’ a strong system – hopefully it
will weaken as it comes out into the Pacific – will have to keep track of it
over next few days --- presumably A above same as 1 on image
left (note the different observation times) |

Rezoning Sea
Sport into a school |

Seems
to have attracted lots of attention by community --- many wondering why the merchants so opposed when the intention of
program seemed benign --- of course there remain ambiguities – is this
‘thinking outside the box’ or merely an ‘alternative school’ (for poor
performers)? --- There are many other sites downtown available --- (22 closed
stores on 3rd etc) School
has its own web site http://pacificcoastschool.ca/
(though the lighthouse looks like those ‘down south’, not NC) |

Trail making
or ‘burning up’ budgeted $$$?? |
|
Bridge
for hikers (?) being built Cow Bay area |
|
|
So why so
late in year? |
|
Looks
like City intending to widen the hiking trail --- turf removed and fine gravel
put in all the way from Rushbrooke down to Cow Bay Bad
part is that a heavy rain will start eroding the surfaces this late in season
Plus
rationale for doing it not all that clear – other than perhaps a matching
grant that has to be spent before year end --- and now that the trail down to
Seal Cove dropped this might be the alternative ‘choice’ See
my earlier material on Rushbrooke to Seal Cove trail – the slide in 2001 and the downed trees in 2007 and again |

The fellow in
wheelchair used to live here – his decline is also that of the building – at
one time Inlander was a refuge for people on margin (my previous ‘homeless’ story) – they looked
after each other etc --- but no one was paying attention to Dwayne any longer
– perhaps the building itself has outlasted its ‘usefulness’ |
Inlander
Hotel --- throwing debris over side into next lot |
|
Hopefully
repairs being done to the indoors too In
past Council has ordered the exterior
cleaned up – but it is the inside that is
main problem

2008 Salmon
Review |
|
For
previous and link to WWW site At
Review they had Enforcement officer give his wrap up for season – (and see
page 68 and following in main report for stats etc |
|
Locally there
was issue of ‘live boxes’ to be used to resuscitate salmon (steelhead etc)
before released – it was a condition of license to gillnet or seine --- but
many were not complying – so Fish Cops put in some extra enforcement – 30% of
the boats inspected were not in compliance – led to some disagreement from
fishers over how reg was to be interpreted More
interesting to me was how Fish Cops stopping vehicles on Highway 16 (with
help of RCMP etc as under present Fish Act don’t have authority to stop a
vehicle) – cars were stopped and searched for too much fish – which was a
problem at times on Skeena River – and see
my earlier where some sports taking away huge boxes/ bags of fish --- Nice
that it may be illegal – and Fish Cops were looking --- more on Salmon Season
2008 later |
