Crime Prevention..with a twist

It was an interesting day today.  I ended up in jail!


Oops

Yes, it was JAIL AND BAIL-Catch and Release day here in Clarenville on Friday the 13th, sponsored by the Clarenville Area Citizens' Crime Prevention Committee.  You are either on the "let's get someone arrested" side of the fence (jail cell) or the other "let's lay low and hide" side to keep from being arrested.  I  as sitting on that fence early this morning....

Then I became an instigator and with our students we managed to help get my friend and collegue Rick Martin arrested.  Then I hid.

The Mounties always get their man.

All too shortly after getting Rick in the squad car, I found myself in the back seat of another one.  I was charged on two counts:

- Too Vocal on Council matters     (I wonder who put me up to this....hummm? )
- Decorating without a licence.      (Not sure on this one!)

Anyway, an hour or so later, Rick and I raised about $250 for Crime Prevention thanks to the generous donations of people at the college and people like you.

My thanks to Judge Stanford & Judge Baker, the RCMP and the rest of the Crime Prevention crew for the opportunity to participate in this "good humored" fundraiser.  I'll be sure to be on my best behaviour...until next time...maybe...not

Have a watch of the video....

We are in a Very Different Spot - Finance Minister Wiseman on Budget 2015

By
Finance Minister Wiseman summed up the Province's 2015 Budget reality succinctly: “We are in a very different spot”.  In a period in which oil is less than half the value than it was a year earlier, “different spot” is may be a bit of an understatement.  Things have changed a lot in a year and the minister and the government is facing some serious challenges.  Minister Wiseman talk to the Clarenville Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday evening focused exclusively on how and why the government is planning to deal with the downturn – while trying to have a minimal impact on the economy.   In his address he covered the following topics – each of which spoke to the basic principles government has looked at in its crafting the budget: ·                   A Culture of Cost Management     A Refocus our Health System           A Refocus of the College of the North At...

Boonie's Story - The Fantastic response to Mr. Lethbridge's Challenge to ALS

By
R alph Lethbridge is not your typical 71 year old  Entrepreneur, Husband, Dad and Grandfather.   He's what we call in Newfoundland & Labrador - a "Character".   He is Boonie. Boonie Lethbridge is one of those characters that you will find throughout small town Canada.   Boonie (as he is affectionately known) has been the go-to person to buy real, local Christmas trees in the Clarenville area since 1984.   EVERYONE knows him and kids in particular love him because he bears a striking resemblance to Santa!! That's not the only resemblance - his heart is as big as Santa's too!   His trade-mark white beard is the reason, and very few people remember seeing him without it.  Over the past few years several prominent citizens of Clarenville have died from ALS, including Corwin Mills,  Dolores Balsom &  Pat Cole . T his fall after the death of Mr. Mill's,  Dolores' husband Alex and Boonie were chatting.  Boonie suggeste...
