In case it's not enough for some of the police that I advised them to do an Internet search of Henry David Thoreau, I'll give them a little more advice....
The police could request an interview with a high school or university English teacher who is familiar with Thoreau.... In the USA, it shouldn't be hard to find someone. I'm not sure if the Walden/Life in the Woods book is read at the high school or university level because I've heard conflicting reports from different sources...? Maybe a university professor would have more detailed knowledge about Thoreau and his work? If the police know how to use Google and the Internet for civilian purposes, it shouldn't be hard even for Canadian police to contact an American teacher?
Also, there are professional people, including professors, who have their names on public speakers' lists.... And these names and lists are used by the news media and others who wish an interview for news purposes.... As far as I understand, there's normally a fee paid for this type of service.... [So, be prepared to pay a teacher for their time....]
These teachers could do a much better and thorough job explaining about Thoreau than I can....

Some Time-Limits, Part 2
Continued from below.
If the police want me to cooperate with them after August, they'll need to either settle with me or give me some proof in writing about what's going on.... This is going to be a firm decision on my side and I intend to stick with it. It's possible the police won't even need until the end of August to resolve the issues? If we could finish earlier, it'd be fine by me; and I'll keep on working for a few months--if there's much for me to do...?
Also in the past, there've been many times when it appeared--to me--that a settlement was just around the corner...but it didn't happen...! And this time, I can't go by appearances or feelings or wishful thinking! I'll need to see something concrete if I'm going to continue past August. (Maybe the police won't even need me to do anything after a settlement is reached...? I'd have my own "public relations" to do on behalf of myself after the publicity...to explain my involvement to my family, church, and acquaintances.)

Some Time-Limits, Part 1
What I've been thinking is that the divisional Mounties could have until about the end of this month to decide what they want to do.... If they don't decide by then, others could take them out? And do they even need that much time...? But I don't mind giving it, if necessary?
After that, there may be a few other parties who need to tie up their loose ends? And I wish to give them only until the end of this August, if they need my help or attention? They'd have two, full months--July and August. It was in July and August 1998 when I first had contact with some of the community advisors in the police project.... It's been 20 years!
In the previous years, I've said the police could likely call a press conference within 24 hours, and I've been trying to negotiate with them up until October 30, to be ready for the 31st. But I think that's not realistic. It's better that the police could have a couple months to prepare....
Also, I've been under a lot of stress because of the police project...and I don't believe I need to elaborate on the reasons why.... It happens that in October I have my annual check-up with the dentist and I'm finding it difficult because of the stress.... So, that's another reason why I want my business wrapped up earlier--one way or another....

Updates
Have updated both my first and my third Waterlily blogs.... The "Irish man" has been very involved in my business but the particular, divisional Mountie HQ had a plan.... Maybe the divisional Mounties have to be the first to decide what they want to do now...? People could please read the other blogs if they want the full information?
By the way, I didn't say the people were "lame," I said the false story was lame.

Family is Family
From what I've seen this far, nobody in the current police project has even acknowledged that they expected the case to take 20 years.... There was only some information from the past which told about this.... Right now, we're coming up to 20 years from the time I first met a lot of the community advisors in the police project...and I think that should be enough! If they wanted to go public at Halloween, we should be deciding something now--in the near future--for them to get ready for Halloween.... Otherwise, another year could go by, and they could continue extending the deadline and changing the date of when the police project actually began...!? It could be a sliding scale...and that's not acceptable to me. It's been long enough.
My family has suffered because of this business and that concerns me a great deal.... Most of them don't believe what's going on, and I don't blame them for that. Rather than spending any more time needlessly on the police project, or writing about LGBTQ concerns, I'd like to devote my time to my family if nothing is going to happen.... With other people, it's hard to talk about and share my life because it's been so complicated. But family is family! I don't regret helping with the LGBTQ issues up to now...and I know the police and firefighters have had their conflicts among themselves...but I can't continue like this without a proper settlement. The police could at least make a deal with me behind the scenes, to start with.... The rest could be negotiated in time....

A Voluntary Resignation...?
Have recently seen a comedy movie called King Ralph, 1991, about a man who unexpectedly became the King of England.... The royal family had all been together at the same location when an accident happened and they were all killed.... And this man was the only heir to the throne who had been found, at the time....
The man, Ralph Jones, was a Las Vegas lounge singer--and not a very good one...! So, it turned out that he was brought to England and became the new king.... He was able to do some good, sometimes, but there was a rival who wanted him out.... King Ralph didn't want to give in to the rival...but before too long, Ralph acknowledged he wasn't the best king and he voluntarily resigned.... [Also, another heir was found and he was competent.]
In my opinion, this story relates to the special police project.... Some police have likely been upset with me when I've promoted the Mounties at the divisional HQ office...but I'd like to believe that things can work out amicably for everyone concerned.... Sometimes you try this way, and try that way...and nothing helps...but you never know when a third option could present itself.... Anyway, I'm not trying to push anybody....
The above film was released not long ago in a package of 10 movies distributed by the Universal company.... The package name is "Family Favorites."
