Mystery of flying object
Mood:
caffeinated
Police are mystified about a small metal object that crashed through the roof of a house in New Zealand.
Sounds like a plot for a M. Night Shyamalan movie in play, he could lift the next plot line off the comments page.

This is Sitka, Alaska..

Actually this is Dock Square in Rockport Massachusets which now has a new set of totem poles and a sign welcoming folks to Sitka, Alaska, thanks to Disney/Touchstone Pictures.

Locals , too, are upset and riled.

Probably too tough for the soft avacodo eating sun drenched Californians.

I guess an Alaskan native was too expensive for Disney to hire for their new movie so they had to hire a retired English teacher
instead. Cheapskates!
And this is the star of CRASH? Hmmh, her self involved in a crash? Crude, crude...crude example of art imitating life then life imitating art back again.
"CRASH" boldly reminds us of the importance of tolerance as it ventures beyond color lines

Meanwhile, back in reality newspaper - land
The First Nations in parts of the Alberta area of Canada are among the wealthiest aboriginal communities in Canada, thanks to extensive royalties from oil that sits under their land.
But it is there that recently a 23-month-old girl remains in stable condition but doctors will never be able to remove a bullet from near her spine because it would probably kill her.
Police have reported 12 gun-related incidents in the last three weeks alone. Among those, a 20-year-old was shot, two teenage girls were threatened with guns and shots were fired outside a funeral last week.

Ahem. Here is Wikipedias entry for
Hobbema
Do they mention that it is a place of 12,000 people?
A place where 13 gangs sell cocaine and other drugs on four reserves in the Hobbema area (60 km south of Edmonton) according to police?
Two years ago, gang violence had spiked, meaning reports of 150 drive-by shootings in just one eight-month period, sometimes as many as five a night.
In light of this recent shooting, Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl said he'll wait for suggestions from reserve leaders before getting involved.
I had a thought about the level of involvement he would take if he were responsible for a different portfolio but no, only the Prime Minster of Canada could rise to such a high level of distinct incompetence.
But hey folks, back to Disney, car crashes (20 MPH car crashes mind you) and Alaskan natives being played by retired English teachers.
Where else on public radio programming can you hear polar bears growl, peregrine falcons cry and killer whales splash?
