Town Hall Meeting Colville, WA: I Don’t Trust The Government

2009 August 13
by rosehips

Sorry this is a bit rough. I have too much footage and not enough time to edit and polish.

This meeting was held yesterday by my Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who is from our area.

This gives you a little idea of the general mood of the audience. It was a relatively friendly crowd for the Republican rep, but you can hear the distrust that many of my neighbors have for government.

This video appears on the Spokesman Review’s website. They featured a front-page article in yesterday’s Sunday edition of the paper(based out of Spokane, WA). The group I am active with, Citizens for a Clean Columbia, was featured prominently in the article. Three of our officers were interviewed and two of our board members are featured in the video below.

The Protest Heard Round the World and a Rodeo Parade

2009 June 20
by rosehips

There was a parade for the annual Rodeo that is happening in my town of Colville, WA this weekend and I’ve never been to it before. I am not really a big fan of parades and this one wasn’t really all that special.

I am troubled by the violence we are hearing about in Iran on ireports, twitter and other social networks. I thought of the protesters who are so courageous to go to the streets even after the government warned of severe consequences.

I decided to make a video with parade clips and protest photos as a tribute to the brave people of Iran.

Music of course is the Beatles “Revolution”.

Jonah’s Graduation

2009 June 6
by rosehips

My youngest son Jonah graduated from high school today.  It was a crazy day. He’s been sick with a cold and was threatening to stay home yesterday but he was a trooper and knew that we were depending on him. The outdoor ceremony was pretty lame  (one of the valedictorians droned on about preschool and grade school and then jr. high and talked about all the same people, you get wut I mean) and then a crack of thunder postponed the event for about an hour and 20 min! They said we had to go inside the gym but not until 1 o’clock. wtf? We went home and got back a couple minutes late but no biggy. Consequently, Jonah was the very last grad to get his diploma before the valedictorians. They had like 6 valedictorians and they all gave speeches and they were so lame except for Ian who is a friend of Jonah’s and he quoted GW Bush asking “Is our children learning?” and then he said other clever stuff and ended with the rhetorical answer: Yes We Is!  It was pretty funny.

Here’s a pic of Jonah after the ceremony. His big bro Austin is congratulating him on the accomplishment. The last one is of me and my boys. (satisfied, karma?) I’ve got a funny vid of Austin that I will put on youtube and include the link. Enjoy!
