Never saw the coverage on tv, but that's probably because i've been away on vacation the last 9 days  ;D Glad the protest went ahead and the Sockeye are closed down. Can only hope now all the people who are upset about it closing don't go and flog the vedder now to fill the freezer.

Does 200 upside down flags mean there were about 200 people there, or more in attendance?

Good photo's especially like the one with Dragon casting, looks like he was heading into the river following his 20 ounces of Lead.

Spending a good part of the day cleaning up Lumina's garbage so in a way I wish I had not opened my mouth and told him we would deal with it.

Did not want him to spoil the protest so saying we would look after it, it took the wind out of his sails.

I have never seen a guy so keen in tracking down garbage especially the heavy metal pieces. I wonder if he will come to the BC Rivers Day cleanup? Any bets?

He even brought some over 100 pound cement blocks over. ::) They will have to stay unless the City will come over when the river drops.

A fun day to spend ones Sunday.

I missed all this as I was in Osoyoos wakeboarding ;D  Too bad I missed it.  I did hear about it on the radio up there and it was reported as about 25 people.  Do you guy's think it did any good?

Pretty sad article.  Looks like the reporter is one sided on the issue.  3/4 of the article was devoted to fluffing up the natives rights to "cerimonial" fish.  On my way back from Osoyoos on Sunday, the was a large sign at the East gate service station advertising fresh Sockeye salmon.  I wonder which fishery these "fresh" salmon come from?  Until we can accurately count the native caught salmon I will remain a cynic.  I will never trust anything Ernie Cray has to say.
