Olympic Effort by Retired Senior Betty Krawczyk

"…an Olympic countdown clock was vandalized, despite having 24-hour security. The stone and wood clock was spray-painted with the words "Free Betty". Last week, environmental activist Betty Krawczyk was sentenced to jail time for protests in May 2006 against highway upgrades for the 2010 Olympics"

Betty Krawczyk, a senior well past her 70th birthday, is no stranger to standing up (or should I say sitting down) for the environment.

Quite a retirement activity! Betty Krawczyk allowed herself to be arrested and sent to jail to make her point.
