Hi John & All,
I think that sounds like a great idea-- provided participation was =
voluntary. Some penal systems (US and sometimes in Canada) tend destroy =
the person and what is gained by that ?
On a somewhat unrelated note I am reminded of an incident some =
decades ago when a local farmer went to jail for several months rather =
than pay a fine that he felt was an abuse of his rights to protect his =
property from ATV vandals. He felt that many of his fellow inmates were =
better humans than the pointy-headed crowd that trampled on his rights =
largely because they had the power to do so.

I wonder if it's cricket to get youth in restorative justice programs =
or inmates of minimum-security institutions involved in these things. =
They are educational and constructive!

hi folks,=20
=20
We had about 20 (?) enthusiastic people show up for the Clean Across =
Nova Scotia event this morning. The clean up focused on tributaries of =
the Elderkin Brook that runs through the Kentville Ravine. This was a =
joint effort between the Eco Kings Action Team, Friends of the Kentville =
Ravine Society and the Blomidon Naturalists Society and we were joined =
by others as well.=20
=20
We gathered a huge pile of disgusting stuff...I'm not sure what others =
found, but our group's finds included:
=20
- 4 roadkill racoons
- glass 'Pepsi-cola' bottles ("the Maritimes' #1 cola")
- Hostess chip bags from the 80's =20
- one sink=20
- election campaign signs
- every type of alcohol bottle except a Texas Mickey
- but all was outweighed by Tim Horton's cups
=20
Thanks to Ed Sulis, Janet Whitman and Marina Myra for taking care of =
logistics, and Ken Harrison for the donation of supplies for the effort.
=20
Thanks so much everyone for your efforts (especially in steep ravine =
terrain) and hope to join forces more in near future :)
=20
cheers,=20
