Sacred sites disturbed

James I think that is so funny. Not you. The idea of the poor reporters getting the stuff from us.

A sad commentary on today's journalism? Maybe not.

There a lot of folks on this forum who know a lot stuff. I am betting that knowledge is important to most of us. FActs seem to be as important as opinion.

Kudos to all of us!

Two more are snow removal budget and DNPS and BIA`s levy increase.

It is a hell of a lot easier to use Smokey`s well researched information than looking it up themselves.

The Asper papers also do not report:
Police called to City hall
City breaks own by-law (millennium signs)
and many other stories that are discussed here. Thank you all for participating on the forum, where Nanaimo comes for News First!
