Points taken, especially that farmer's observation!

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!

Subject: [NatureNS] Great success - Clean Across Nova Scotia event
hi folks,
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.
We gathered a huge pile of disgusting stuff...I'm not sure what others
found, but our group's finds included:
- 4 roadkill racoons
- glass 'Pepsi-cola' bottles ("the Maritimes' #1 cola")
- Hostess chip bags from the 80's
- one sink
- election campaign signs
- every type of alcohol bottle except a Texas Mickey
- but all was outweighed by Tim Horton's cups
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.
Thanks so much everyone for your efforts (especially in steep ravine
terrain) and hope to join forces more in near future :)
cheers,
James.
