    There was a lot of discussion about freshet at the Market Committee. Basically, no one believes BC Hydro on the issue. They want to use the May 27 meeting to put BC Hydro in the hot seat. I agreed to work with Ron Sanderson to gather some questions. I might send an email to David Austin who said he has a set of unanswered questions from the BCUC. Also, they would like a copy of Mark Poweska’s presentation in advance. I had a chat with Ron after the meeting, and I think we may want to relax the tone a little bit. BC Hydro are our guests at the conference and this isn’t a hearing under the BCUC. We may need you to lower the temp on this.

  • My Glass Threchinging: Personal Experiences

    This week, I went to glass etching. While I was there I designed my own glass. What you had to do is pick a glass, then fill them up with any sticker you wanted to put on it, then you had to put a special material on the design, and then they put the glass ware in a special water and then you were able to take it home. Glass etching was an exciting event to go to because you could put anything that you wanted and it was free. The people that were there teaching us were contacted by Student Government Association (SGA) to put this event for us. SGA is a campaign that organizes activities and organizations for the campus.
