A few weeks ago one of my readers asked me if I had any Edmonton pictures.
I managed to find a few and posted some of them on my Hwy. 16, Alta page. http://www.leespage.ca/h/tra/ca/a/H16.html
The rest I posted on another Alberta page, Hwy. 2. http://www.leespage.ca/h/tra/ca/a/H2.html
This morning, in time for your New Years enjoyment I added a page to my US section – Arizona. http://www.leespage.ca/h/tra/us/a.html
All the best to you, and yours, in the New Year.

PS: Shortly before Xmas I bought a Laptop Computer, which I really can’t afford.
If you are in the market, it is 1 year old, spotless.
Came with Snow Leopard but has been upgraded to Lion.
It is a Mac Book Pro. Running at 2.4.
It was made in late 2010 and I have added CS and Office.
I am asking $1200 and that will include postage to anywhere in Canada.

Despite the fact that B. C. kicked out the HST the movie industry stays strong. Actually we are as busy as can be expected with, thanks to the meddling of the Liberal party, our shortage of crews, and studios.
I worked on 3 separate productions last week. Alcatraz, Once Upon a Time, and Secret circle.
Serena has booked China for Dec. and Jan. I will stay home this year, though I might grab a week or two in Mexico or I might go North. It kind of depends on what my doctors have to say. I had two doctor visits this past week and I have five separate specialist to go see over the next four weeks.
Despite the doctor visits, over the past couple of weeks I continue to slog through my website, removing advertising and checking all my links.
As I said last time, Bear’s Page is now `stand alone’. However I am probably only about ¼ of the way through Lee’s Page.
I have had time to go through some pictures and I have added a new page that I hope you will find interesting, even if you are not a fisherman. Read, enjoy. CHAPMAN CR. FISH HATCHERY.
Donate if you wish, it is a worth while charitable organization.
So is Bear’s Page, Donations welcome .
Speaking of `fishing’, Serena caught 30 salmon yesterday, though she was only allowed to keep four. For some stupid reason you have to catch them through the mouth. If you snag them in the tail, or their side, you have to throw them back.
If a hunter wounds a deer, or a bear, he will stay on its trail for hours, or even days, until he kills it. Yet if you wound a fish you have to throw it back, so it can die.
I don’t know what bone head politician, or government employee, made up that stupid rule.
These fish have just left the ocean and some have another thousand miles of; lakes, streams, and waterfalls to negotiate before they get to their spawning grounds. How they are expected to do that with a hole in the guts is beyond my comprehension.
Right now the fish run is so heavy that you could catch the fish with your bear hands. Sat. morning the fisherman lined the shore of the river. It is estimated that there was a fisherman every five feet. And everyone of them was catching and releasing ten wounded fish to one that they could take home.
Literally millions of fish are not going to make it to the spanning grounds because they were wounded and thrown back in the river.
The intelligence of our government continues to amaze my. Though it shouldn’t.
As Mark Twain once wrote, `Never underestimate the expanse of the universe, or the stupidity of mankind.

A useful warning information for those who consider buying this brand.

I am sure that they have some good trucks.
It was just my luck to get a lemon.
Despite all my complaints it was a comfortable ride.
I really enjoyed the sound system.
Pretty sad state of affairs when though all you can credit your source of income is as a huge home stereo.
Also I deplore the way the dealers take advantage of the fact that no one else knows how to repair them and they charge for work they didn’t do and make mistakes and won’t make restitution.

I think it was near Kits or West of Planetarium
Jean Marie Delta, BC Canada
REPLY
I zoomed in, the sign says, `Bicycles Use Roadway'
At this point the Seawall splits.
Cyclists are asked to use the roadway while pedestrians are given the option of straight ahead or to the right.
The path to the right does look a little overgrown at this point.
However, if one was to climb the stairs the path veers to the right and takes one along the edge of a lovely little park with a great view of the Fishermen’s Wharf, and all the boats, and then down another set of stairs to rejoin the Seawall.
Thank you for the quick reply.

Hi,
First off I thoroughly enjoyed your info about the sea wall.
I was looking at the location for a restaurant on Groupon when I saw that there was a park on the downtown waterfront and then googled parks and you came up.
I am writing in regards to the comments about the signs for bicycles and pedestrians.
When the arrow points for the bicycles to go to the left and the pedestrians to the right it just means that the pedestrians need to stay on the right of the path and the bicycles to the left.
That is my understanding.
Not to read it that the cyclists go where the arrow points and the pedestrians go where the other arrow points like the cyclists take the path and the pedestrians go through the brambles...
unless of course you were just joking...
Again great site!
Jean Marie Delta, BC Canada
REPLY
Well, considering that most cyclists can’t read, as you will find them on the car/truck drive, or on the pedestrian path, instead of on the bicycle path most of the pedestrians would probably like to see the cyclist turn into the brambles.
Though I suppose, the same could be said about the joggers as you will constantly find them on the car or cyclists’ path.
While searching for the picture you referred to, which I didn’t find, I noticed how out of date my story is.
I need to hye myself, and my camera, back downtown, where I haven’t been in a coon’s age, depending, of course, on how old the coon is, and reshoot the areas where construction has totally changed the face of the seawall.

Hi,
Here are the facts from the set decorators we speak to everyday:
The film industry never left BC. Even during the Olympics. We saw business all the way through the recession. It may have slowed down but it was always there. Permits were only halted but production studios were operating business as usual in Vancouver and Burnaby. We had trucks here every day during the Olympics picking up or dropping off props.
Once the HST was in place, it brought lots of new shows and movies that have yet to air. Mission impossible being one of them that saw a $7 million dollar benefit from filming in Canada, purely from the HST.
We have lost shows to Toronto in the past month because of the uncertainty of the HST here. Shows that if popular could have multiple seasons and provide years of work for dozens of productions staff and vendors alike.
To say you are mis-informed is an understatement. Vancouver no longer has a film industry? The film business is 10 times as busy in Vancouver as it has ever been. The HST , vendor infrastructure, and the US-CDN dollar exchange all play an important part in the equation.
I’m not sure why you have an axe to grind but you should get your facts straight before you start writing articles in municipal publications in municipalities that benefit from the movie business.
Kevin B. Vancouver, B. C. Canada
REPLY
My paycheque, (my sole source of income for the last 15 years) is directly related to the film industry. When the number of productions in this province is up, which it is from 15 years ago, and when it is down, which it is from 6 years ago, my yearly income is, in direct relationship, up or down.
When I say film industry, I speak of what we had built it up to in the early 2000s, from the early 1900s. When I say we have lost the film industry I mean it has reverted to the equivalent of the mid 1900s. as compared to the mid 2000s. Obviously it has not gone away completely. However, because it died so badly, because of the Liberal Gov’t., in the late 2000s, it will take many, many years to recuperate, if ever.
That fact that the streets of downtown were busy with film crews after the installation of HST was only because of the removal of the Olympic ban on downtown filming which happened at the same time and the Liberal Party used this as propaganda to praise the HST.
This is the axe that I have to grind, the Liberal Party, though everyone pointed their finger at Gordon Campbell, as if he was the sole decision maker, used the rebirth of all the visual film making to praise the HST.
Unfortunately many of the public believed the propaganda.
When you sight features such as MI4, you are mistaken. MI4, filmed under the name of `Tank’, never started filming until well after the HST came into effect. That is to say started filming in Vancouver. They had actually started filming in other countries and were late filming in Vancouver because the film studios that they had leased, many months before HST was ever thought of, were being used for the filming of `Little Red Riding Hood’ which ran over budget and way past the end of their shooting schedule. It actually got to the point where MI4 was building sets in the same studio in which LRRH was filming.
We have lost shows to Toronto lately, we always lose shows to Toronto, and we will always do so.
However the reverse happens more frequently, Toronto loses shows to us.
There are many reason for this, none of which have anything to do with the HST. The biggest reason, the biggest reason that any film crew goes anywhere, is location. `LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION’
Just like the Real Estate industry, `LOCATION’, is the key. The one most important key. The second is studio space, the third is trained and efficient crews, and another major attraction that Vancouver had is film editing facilities.
Vancouver still has the locations but because of Gordon Campbell, and here I say Campbell, rather than the liberal Party, because it was his personal hatred of unions, although people blame it on Vince Ready, but he was only acting on Campbell’s orders, we no longer have the; studio space, crews, or editing houses.
We still have most of the supply houses, such as yours, though I have never had the opportunity to deal with you as I have all the major suppliers, because, though most of them have had to downsize, they have managed to survive by laying off staff and sending stock back to their head offices in L.A.
And speaking of Real Estate, ask them what they think of the HST. Ask them, or any home buyer, how many sales have been lost because of the HST.
HST hurts every citizen in this country.
How many tax payers’ dollars have been wasted, and will continue to be wasted, in the Liberals fight to retain ST.
This referendum is nothing but an expensive smoke screen and is a perfect example of why the citizens of this fair province are sick and tired of the Liberals and their high handed attitude.
The citizens do not have bottomless pockets and can no longer afford the Liberals or their tax increases.
When the people ousted Gord Campbell it was to get rid of the HST. We never once mentioned reverting to GST. Nor did we want Campbell to leave by himself, We wanted the entire party gone.
With no ST Canadians will stay home to shop rather than spending their weekends shopping South of the border. No ST will attract customers from other countries.
Doing away with ST will mean lower taxes because the Gov’t. can close all the offices that are used to calculate all the STs and their rebates.
The lack of St is a win win situation for all concerned except, for some obscure reason, the liberal party. Why they are trying so hard to hang on to it, in spite of their electorates’ desire to get rid of it is beyond me.

Hi,
Did you write an article about how the HST did'nt help the movie industry?
If so let me know. I will provide factual information from my buisness, one of the largest prop houses in BC, about the buisness and jobs that were generated and created as a direct result.
Kevin B. Vancouver, B. C. Canada
REPLY
Yup, I did.
The fact that film came back to B. C. at the same time as the HST started was purely coincidental.
The fact that the film industry left Vancouver because of the Liberal party was not.
Neither is the fact that we still have HST but no longer have a film industry.

DO THE LIBERALS PROFIT FROM HST?
When I see the extent to which the Liberals are conniving to keep the HST in play it makes me wonder how much of that goes in their pockets.
Despite the fact that it is obvious British Columbians do not want the HST, nor do we want it replaced with GST & PST, none of the political parties are promising to get rid of it if we vote other than Liberal in the next election.
What do the NDP, Conservatives, and other parties know that we don’t know. How much of this tax goes directly to their party, or their own pocket, once elected to office?
Campbell made a big issue of how the HST had brought back the film Industry (that he destroyed). I ask you, if the HST brought it back, why isn’t it still here? The HST is still here.
They say it will cost the tax payers a lot of money to switch back to the old ST system. I never heard them saying anything about it costing us to switch from the old to the new.
They say if we switch back we will have to pay back Ottawa. Why? Did we borrow money from Ottawa to pay for the cost of switching from PST to HST? Did Ottawa pay us to switch over? If so where is my share? If the Liberals were paid to switch then the Liberals can refund the money when we switch back.
The Liberals say that if we keep the HST they will reduce it by 2%. That’s a pretty generous offer considering we want them to lower it by 12%.
Altogether there is just too much persuasion, too much pressure, too many promises. Me thinks there is something fishy going on here.
Regardless of this smoke screen they call a referendum, I think the main battle is in the next election and we need a party who will stand up and promise to get rid of the ST if they are elected.
No ST (H, G, or P) would mean fewer British Columbians running across the borders, East and South, to do their shopping. It would mean more shoppers from Alberta and Washington coming to B. C. It would result in; more businesses moving in, and increased tourism.
There is no possible way that losing the ST would harm the province or cost the tax payers anything. It would, on the other hand, create more employment.
Losing the ST (G, H, & P) is a win win situation.
And giving in to the will of the people would only make the Liberals look good in the eyes of the voters. So why are they so adamant to lose public support?

POST ELECTION BLUES AND MORE PICTURES
Well, the election has come and gone. And with it any hopes for a bright future in our poor little Dominion.
Normally when an election results in a majority government it means stability for he next four years and industry digs in. Unfortunately you elected the wrong party and the stock market has done nothing but plummet since the ballots were counted.
Notice I said YOU. I didn’t vote for them and I told you not to vote for them. I also told you to vote and most of you didn’t.
60% of the eligible voters didn’t vote. Had you gone to the polls and voted for someone other than the Conservatives we .. well never mind.
It’s over, we’re stuck with him, for the next four years.
What have I been doing, beside haranguing the politicians for the last five weeks? Not working that’s for sure. Resting. Trying to recover from those three grueling months of 16 hour days.
Am I going back next month. Not sure. There has been no official announcement that there will be a season seven of Supernatural.
I’ve been; changing my meds, changing doctors. I found a little clinic down the street and have been visiting them. I am feeling better.
Found a couple of games for my computer. I don’t usually play games but these have taken up a lot of my time.
And I found some of my lost pictures. A recovery program brought them out of some obscure file but they were not in order. Nor correctly numbered so I have been sorting them out and I have managed to put together three new pages for you.
Alberta Highway 16
A blog about our constitiution
Saskatchewan Highway 16
Saskatchewan Highway 40
As well, I have completed page 12 of jokes that viewers have sent me.
As each page contains a `bakers dozen’ I have decided there will be a `bakers dozen’ pages.
So make page 13 really funny. Send me some jokes that are side splitting laughable.
And all the best to you, and yours, in the forth coming …….

Yes... everybody needs to vote federal liberal to keep Harper and the christian fascists away from Ottawa.
We also need to keep the *#*%@* HST or else the film biz might dry up with a return to the PST.
Hopefully that would also mean that Christy and her old gang would be unemployed.

I averaged 75 hours per week for the last 2 months.
Serena came home, after 2 months in Shanghai, on Fri.
Now I am off for a few days.
I know, I know, I’ve been off for years.

I recently found and resurrected my old blog, ,
I have also joined twitter, http://twitter.com/BeadieBear/ , and over the past few days I have joined Flickr, and Tumblr.
Hopefully, in the next few days, I will get some more highway pictures posted. Keep you eye on my `MOST RECENT UPDATES’ index – about 3 scrolls down on my home page .
Then, if the kids get their passports, we are off to sunny Mexico for a few weeks, well probably only a few days, but anything to get away from this rain.
Until then, I hope you don’t get washed away.

Hi.
I am writing a story for a trade publication
about a company that is transporting large bulky equipment from Manzanillo
port to the nearby power plant, which is to be shifted from oil- to LNG fuel.
That plant, as you know, is a big polluter.
I may want to quote a comment you made on your website (http://www.bearspage.info/h/tra/me/ma.html) about that plant's fumes:
"In either case you want to choose an evening when there is a off shore breeze as Manzanillo has a terrible air pollution problem."
Please let me know if you give permission for me to do so.
The publication I'm writing for is JoC Breakbulk Events & Magazine.
Thanks!

Lee—
The new bridge in Sicamous on the TCH was built 1962-63,
I hauled washed sand and rock for the cement deck from Baird Bros in Enderby where I did some part time work.
Your pics are great along the TCH
Raymond I. Kelwona, B. C. Canada
REPLY
Thank you for the correction.
I appreciate it when people point out my mistakes.
I try to keep my website as accurate as possible.
I was thinking the bridge was built when we lived there because dad worked (powder man) on widening the road on the West side of the bridge, but it was built when we lived in Enderby.
See the corrections I made to my Sicamous page.

Thank you.
I have friends in Perula and wanted to see what it was like.
I have been to Tentacatita several times.
That area suffered a great injustice from a rich vulture.
Where do you fly into?
I always went to Manzaniallo.
Now Alaska Air makes us stay overnight in LA.
I can fly nonstop to Puerto Vallarta.
I like Melaque and have went to Manzanalla for dinner.
Jim P. Whitefish, Montana USA
REPLY
I fly different depending on the price, and some times I have changed planes in La. or Seattle, but I never overnight.
I always fly out of Vancouver, Canada - YVR.
I have flown into Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Zihuataneo, and Mexico City (for change of flight).
My first trip I flew into Mazatlan and took a bus to Manzanillo then a small bus to Barra.
To get to La Manzanilla, and Perula,we drove a rental from Puerto Vallarta.

You will also find some loaded trucks on this page.
Enjoy.

Just the one, on the side,
I'll keep U in mind next time I am out with my camera.
It'll probably be awhile though as I don't get around trucks much anymore.
Here is the front of a Van Kam trailer. Those probably rode on BC Rail.

Hello,
I have a very rare 1993 Norton Commander, Krauser edition, wankel rotary engine.
My wife and I have decided to put this bike up for sale and I was inquiring if you might be interested in adding this bike to your incredible collection.
The Bike is in brand new condition, 15 kilometers on it, factory break in sticker still on the tach.
It was the last bike in the commander line to come off the Norton factory floor.
If you would like to discuss this, see pictures, hear the interesting story of how it made it to America please contact me,
thanks.

Lee Wood,
I have read over your demands of an elected official to promise the 9 items below to gain your future support.
I challenge you to present your suggestions to replace the revenue lost from the HST to pay for the items we use.
Items like Health Care, Education etc that are important and that we need to make sure that the level of service remains high.
Just interested in your input.
Bernie Hiller Constituency Assistant Douglas Horne MLA Coquitlam - Burke Mountain
REPLY
The level of; health car, education, etc. is not high, and has not increased since we gained HST. These items were always overfunded before we had HST and are still below par despite being over funded.
HST has not increased the budget to any government departments but has done a great deal to decrease the spending of the average citizen, and tourist, which is harming our economy.
By doing away with HST the average person would be in a better position to buy consumer goods such as homes and groceries which would stimulate the economy.

This is an E that I sent to all Politicians and Politiacal parties in B. C.
This is an expansion of an E that I sent to Harry Bloy, MLA for burnaby-lougheed.
If a politician, or a political party wants my vote in the forth coming election, they must:
A: PROMISE to do away with the HST.
B: PROMISE not to replace the HST with; GST, PST, or any other tax.
C: PROMISE to allow stores to sell incandescent light bulbs.
D: PROMISE to prevent off shore drilling?
E: PROMISE to allow ICBC to license electric cars?
F: PROMISE to roll back Vince Ready’s decision regarding the film industry’s union contracts.
G: PROMISE to enforce the `No Cel phone while driving’ law.
H: PROMISE to change the law to include non electronic items such as; lipstick, notebooks, pocketbooks, flutes, etc.
I: PROMISE to tell us what their position is on all things that matter and not waste our time listening to them running down their opponent(s).
If they are not prepared to entertain any of the above legislative changes then they won’t see me at the polls and we will have another non-popular govt.

Being a Manitoba person, there are a few cousins and 1 aunt yet residing in Manitoba.
Our weather was rainy yesterday (New Year's Day), and what little snow we did have has all disapeared. Have been turning on the bbq the last few days - enjoying the nice weather.
Have a wonderful day, and enjoy,

On 1 Jan 2011 at 9:28, Bear wrote so eloquently concerning HAPPY NEW YEAR to YOU and YOUR´S:
In my Xmas E I forgot to mention that I have finally sold my `Big Blue Lemon´.
I wrote an article of why you should never buy a Volvo -
I believe this is the second message that you have sent to me.
Do I know you?
I do not recognize your name or e-mail.
It appears that you are sending me unsolicited messages...
why?
Patrick M.
REPLY
When I receive an E my computer tells me if I have that address or not.
If I don’t have it it stores it in my main file and I enter it into an alphabetical group.
I also find E mail addresses on business cards lying on the ground.
IE: I get the addresses anywhere I can.
I now have (literally) thousands of E addresses (worldwide).
I know very few of these people.
My Es are like the flyers you get in the mail.
They are not directed to any one person, just whoever empties the mail box.
Like flyers; a few people chuck them, hopefully in the recycle bin, without even looking at them. IE: they hit the delete button, or have a spam checker that does it for them.
Most people give them a quick once over to see if anything catches their eye.
Some people take the time to peruse them and look at the pretty pictures or read the articles.
Some even take the time to tell me how much they enjoyed my spam. [Such as the E after (above) this one.]
Some people get annoyed and complain to the post office (which avails them nothing because the post office gets paid to deliver them)
If they complain to me I take them out of the alphabetical list and put them in a `DO NOT USE’ list (something I have just started). Because if I just erase them from my main list (which is what I use to do) then the next time they come into my computer my computer says this is a new address and I add it in to a mail group.

In my Xmas E I forgot to mention that I have finally sold my `Big Blue Lemon’. I wrote an article of why you should Never Buy a Volvo.
Though my pre-Xmas trip to P. G. was short and hectic I did find one morning of sunshine, and the time to take some pictures of the old bridge.
I also took some pictures, though most of them turned out blurry, of a lady training her dog, well, actually a horse, but she trains it to do dog type tricks.
When your windshield wipers quit on you, find a store and get some Rainex. At speeds over 20 Km/h it is better than wipers.
As I said in my last E, my novel - FERO - is finally published. However it is still available for FREE at the bottom of my `NOVEL PAGE’.
Post Xmas was hectic here. Three new computers came into the house. This is coming to you from my, newer, tower – a Mac Pro. So, if you are looking for a good G5 tower.
Wishing you and yours all the best in the NEW YEAR
