City council in Williams Lake, B.C., is looking to impose a state of local emergency over an increase in street disorder and violence — but the proposal has received pushback, and it's unclear if the B.C. government would fully support it. Coun. Scott Nelson put forward a motion on Tuesday to ask staff for options regarding a state of local emergency in response to "increased threats to public safety" in the city of around 20,000 people located 324 kilometres northeast of Vancouver. Nelson and the city's mayor, Surinderpal Rathor, say that there has been a sharp increase in public drug use, mental health challenges and fires in the city's downtown core, and the motion gives the city options to deal with it.

My first job was as a cashier at the notorious Tivoli Theatre in New York City. I was a wholesome-looking 15-year-old, selling tickets for the Sunday showings of the latest Greek tearjerker or comedy. I knew the Tivoli showed porn on weekdays, but the owner and my mother's friend, Chelly Wilson, kept the Greek movie screenings for sentimental reasons, even at a financial loss. Protected in a cubicle that stood just outside the theatre, practically on the sidewalk, I was perfectly positioned to observe the world go by on 8th Avenue in Manhattan, which might sound swanky now but was downright raunchy at the time. During the 1970's, this notorious Times Square neighbourhood was nicknamed 'The Deuce' and home to porn theatres, prostitution and drug use. Seeing all those people on the street — swarming outside peep shows — was a real shot of adrenalin.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — Costa Rican police seized five capybaras, crack cocaine and marijuana after chasing down a fleeing vehicle on a highway along the Central American country’s Pacific coast on Thursday. The large rodents are a semi-aquatic South American relative of the guinea pig and happen to be having a moment on social platforms.
