2nd, new Lamma Police Corner by our new Lamma Police Chief, Ms. Solid KWAN (including pictures):

"My first community event, here it is!! A crime prevention talk including Anti-telephone deception, Anti-firework and Anti-burglary was organized this morning [Sat, Jan 16] at the Rural Committee Centre [opposite HSBC] and completed smoothly.

Smart tips were given by our Regional crime prevention officer who has delivered an informative seminar in a lively and vivid way which was well-received by the audience, mainly local elderly.

Don't worry, non-Chinese speakers won't be left out! I'm trying to get some material in English and hopefully would have one very soon.

Be a smart Lamma resident and don't fall in any trap!!"

P.S. from Solid:

"Hi all, I'm reluctant to tell, but I have to alert you that there was another burglary reported this afternoon [Sun, Jan 17].

The culprit(s) gained entry by prizing open a window on G/F. Luckily, nobody was at home when the case occurred.

So please take note your neighborhood: who is not around recently or who's often checking if people are not at home, becoming the next temptation to the culprit. Take good care and stay safe, please."

"Day 7 (delayed) of #challengeonnaturephotography:
This is a challenge to spread nature images across Facebook.

I was nominated by Geoff Smith to post a nature image every day for 7 days & to nominate another person to do the same.

I nominate Lamma-Gung who has single-handedly maintained an online news blog for the past 10 or so years of Lamma Island........ I am sure he has a library of fine nature pics, some of which should be shown beyond our shores.

Being the last of my 7 images for this challenge, it is only fitting I post a sunset from my favourite hillside perch which overlooks much of my island home, a place I very rarely leave by choice, & is the focus of all my photos:"

Thanks for the nomination.
Thousands of my Lamma nature pictures to choose from, from almost 14 years of my "online news blog" (I prefer "community online magazine", as the materials come from so many sources).

How to select 7 images only!!! My first image.

It's not the Lamma-zine's habit, err, Editorial Policy, to publish e-newsletters verbatim; but it's Sunday, the New Year has just started and it's a slow Lamma news day. So I'm making an exception today, knowing a few of this lovely bunch of people personally and their boss being my former neighbour in Sha Po Old Village (when we could still afford the Greater YSW Area), Brett Scott. Kinesiology Asia is also a long-time, amazingly loyal supporter of this website. Thank you!

Click above to learn more about their innovative treatments and actual testimonials from actual patients, not fake TV ads. Find out how they "combine clinical expertise with a nurturing, personalised approach".

Kinesiology Asia comes highly recommended, as my grandson-in-law can testify from his own experiences being treated there. I've never heard him laughing out loud as much as during their "tickle therapy", administered by Brett personally!
