Lightning sparks wildfires in Revelstoke area

A forest fire is approaching homes north of Nelson. ~ Photo by Will Johnson, Black Press

ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Several small wildfires were sparked by lightning in the Revelstoke area last week, however the community has so far been spared the large blazes impacting other parts of the Southeast Fire Centre.

The BC Wildfire Service listed two forest fires near Revelstoke — a 0.5 hectare fire in the East Twin Creek area

east of town, and a 0.3 hectare fire near Greenbush Lake southwest of town.

Other small fires had started near Revelstoke in recent days – near the Downie Arm on the western shore of Lake Revelstoke, near Wap Creek south of Three Valley Gap, and in the Selkirk Mountains south of Glacier National Park – however those were the only two still listed as active as of press time.

The fire danger rating was a mix of high and extreme

around Revelstoke, mirroring the situation in most of B.C. Steve Thomson, the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, announced a campfire ban for almost the entire province on Friday, July 3.

There were more than 170 fires burning across the province on Monday, including 18 of note.

In the Southeast Fire Centre, there were three wildfires of note, including one near Nelson sending huge flames into the sky that were visible from town.

The 300-hectare Duhamel Creek fire has resulted in an evacuation alert for homes in the area and a full response involving helicopters and air tankers. It expanded rapidly over the weekend, doubling in size on Sunday.

Homes were also evacuated near Spillimacheen, between Golden and Radium, as the result of a 54-hectare wildfire.

The wildfire danger is expected to remain high throughout the week, with hot and dry weather forecast through Friday. The long-range forecast showed some rain is expected on the weekend.

The City of Revelstoke enacted its own special occassion fire ban on Friday.

The prohibition includes all campfires, burning of waste or other material, stubble or grass fires, the use of fireworks, sky lanterns, tiki torches, burning barrels and burning cages; the use of exploding targets, and the use of force air burning systems.

The ban is in place until further notice. Violations can result in a $345 ticket, and if charges are pursued, the penalty is up to a $100,000 fine or one year in jail.

To report a wildfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Two taken to hospital in Trans-Canada crash near Revelstoke ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Two people were taken to hospital following a collision on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Revelstoke early last Thursday.

The crash happened when an eastbound jeep collided with a westbound pickup 16 kilometres west of Revelstoke, on July 2 at around 12:15 a.m., RCMP say.

"It appears the eastbound jeep was out of his laneway and struck the westbound vehicle," said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky. "The

vehicles spun and the pickup truck ended up down the embankment."

There was one person in each vehicle and both were taken to hospital. The driver of the jeep was taken to Vernon, while the driver of the pickup was taken to Salmon Arm, then Kamloops, with multiple frac-

tures and head trauma.

A traffic analyst was called to the scene, but the cause of the accident is not yet known. Alcohol is being investigated as a factor.

The crash closed the highway for almost six hours.

Future of tourism infrastructure program uncertain after 2017 ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Mountain bike trails and dirt bike trails.

Snowmobile cabins and museum renovations. The Visitor Information Centre and the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre.

Those are all projects that have been made possible in part thanks to the province's Resort Municipality Infrastructure Program.

Now, the group that makes funding recommendations is planning for the program's possible end in 2017.

"They're saying that at the moment they've been told the program's extended to 2017 and that's as much as they know," said Alan Mason, the City of Revelstoke's Director of Economic Development.

The 'they' he's referring to are the administrators of the $10.5-million program in the province's Ministry of Tourism. They want to see plans for the funding, and they get final say on what projects are approved.

After asking Revelstoke for a five year plan, they've now asked for a new plan that

goes until 2017, after which the future of the program is up in the air. A ministry spokesperson said the program will be assessed as it looks at extending the program beyond then.

With time possibly running out, the Revelstoke Tourism Infrastructure Committee met recently to discuss what to put funding towards over the next 2.5 years. They were presented with a list of 14 possible projects totalling $2.845 million. With the city scheduled to received $1,382,717, they had to do some paring down.

The list included things like funding for the new skateboard and splash parks, as well as improvements to Williamson Lake and the golf course. There was money included for more mountain bike and dirt bike trails, as well as an urban trail system that would connect Revelstoke Mountain Resort to downtown. That last one has been a priority for years, said Mason.

The list includes purchasing a new ski resort shuttle in 2016, and $175,000 to put towards special events.

"It's not hard to come up with all these

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Mr. Keith Sheedy is pleased to advise that he has received a written retraction from Tracy L. Phillips (Sicamous) for defamatory remarks made about him following their decision to end their 5½ year relationship on or about May 25th, 2015.

ideas," said Mason. "We've been fortunate we've had really good clubs to do the work.

These guys are fantastic and we're lucky to have them."

The biggest ticket item was a trail and bridge over the Box Canyon. At $750,000, it was deemed too expensive and was cut from the list, said Mason. "(The committee) has come up with a list of projects they'd like to see," said Mason. "I am going to try and prioritize some of the ones we can do right away."

Mason's job is to prepare a project list for the province to approve. When specific applications come in from different community groups, they go to the tourism committee for discussion. The committee then sends its recommendations to council, who usually rubber-stamp their approval. However, the provincial government gets the final say.

While projects are expected to adhere to the plan in place, there is flexibility built in. Mason pointed to the dirt bike trail network, which wasn't envisioned five years ago, but has exploded recently.

"If it's a new project that isn't in the plan, the province wants to see it first before it goes to council," said Mason.

Revelstoke was made part of the Resort Municipality Infrastructure Program in 2008 when it was deemed a resort community because of the number of hotel beds in town.

The fact the program came about at the same time Revelstoke Mountain Resort started up was fortuitous timing, said Mason.

In 2009, the first full year of funding, Revelstoke received almost $300,000 through the program. By 2013, that funding had increased to more than $500,000 thanks to increased hotel stays in Revelstoke. In total, the community has received about $3.5 million since the program began.

The money has helped fund major projects such as the new visitor centre, the new snowmobile cabins on Boulder Mountain and Frisby Ridge, the Mount Macpherson Nordic Lodge, museum renovations, public art and dozens of kilometres of trails.

"It's been great for us. We would have never been able to build all that stuff without it," said Mason.

Ombudsperson tapped to probe health firings JEFF NAGEL Black Press

BC Ombudsperson Jay Chalke. ~ Photo contributed

Health Minister Terry Lake has asked B.C's Ombudsperson to lead an investigation into the government's firing of eight contracted health researchers in 2012.

The province has been under fire for weeks for deflecting demands for a full public inquiry into what it has admitted was a mistake.

Criticism intensified after the release of RCMP documents that undermined government claims the researchers were under active investigation by police into a possible data security breach.

Six of the eight university researchers who were assessing pharmaceutical drugs for Pharmacare coverage have been paid

settlements and reinstated, one is suing the government for wrongful dismissal and another committed suicide.

Lake said in a statement he shared the "ongoing public interest and concern" and believed new Ombudsperson Jay Chalke is the right choice to investigate further.

The surviving researchers and the family of the deceased have demanded a full public inquiry, but the premier has said that's problematic due to privacy issues and potential high costs.

Lake said he is asking the Ombudsperson to "investigate the events leading up to the decision to terminate the employees, the decision to terminate itself, and the actions taken by government following the terminations, in addition to any other matters he may deem worthy of investigation."

An independent review last year failed when the labour lawyer leading it said she was stymied by restrictive terms of reference.

NDP leader John Horgan called the decision to bring in the Ombudsperson a "positive step" and a major concession by the government that more investigation is needed.

He said Opposition MLAs on the committee that oversees the Ombudsperson will fight for broad terms of reference to determine who ordered the firings and why.

Chalke is a former assistant deputy minister of justice. Horgan said the NDP will also demand full disclosure of any involvement he had in the issue to ensure there's no perception of conflict of interest.

Public demands higher distracted driving fines TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Halfway through a consultation on distracted driving policy, the vast majority of B.C. residents who have responded want fines increased.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says thousands of people have participated on the B.C. government's consultation website, and more than 90 per cent want stronger action to stop people talking or texting on their phones while they're behind the wheel. The issue now is how high the fines should go.

"British Columbians are also telling us they want to see tougher escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business," Anton said Tuesday.

Suspending licences or impounding vehicles of repeat offenders is on the table, however. Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for a week if the driver gets two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart.

The consultation continues until July 16. Participants are asked to reply to nine questions. The crowd-sourcing exercise has its weaknesses. Only five per cent of respondents have come from the B.C. Interior, and Anton said younger people are also under-represented.

The province attributes 88 deaths to distracted driving last year, second to speeding and ahead of impaired driving.

Federal Election: Candidates discuss marijuana plans KOOTENAY-COLUMBIA CANDIDATES LAY OUT POSITION ON MARIJUANA REGULATION AHEAD OF OCTOBER ELECTION KEVIN NIMMOCK Black Press

Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks has been a strong advocate for the continued criminalization of marijuana since being elected in 2011.

While addressing the House of Commons last month, he panned Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau for his plan to legalize marijuana if elected.

“The Liberal plan to legalize and normalize marijuana sends a message to youth that smoking marijuana is not only an acceptable activity but is one endorsed through government regulation,” Wilks said. “The Liberal leader’s policy is irresponsible. It ignores marijuana’s lasting and serious health effects.”

Wilks’ stance is to continue restricting access to marijuana. He chairs the Conservative Law Enforcement Caucus and was instrumental in proposing changes to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, along with Minister of Health Rona Ambrose. The proposed changes would allow the Minister of Health and law officials to more easily control new drugs, combat illegal drug production and distribution, and more ef-

fectively ensure the compliance of the controlled substance industry.

Decriminalizing marijuana would involve allowing for personal use, but continuing to police the sale and manufacturing of the drug. Legalization would lift all laws banning possession and personal use of marijuana.

Don Johnston, the Kootenay-Columbia Liberal candidate, agrees with Trudeau’s plans.

He said that, whatever happens, something needs to be done quickly about the way marijuana is handled in this country.

“There was a recent World Health Organization study that found marijuana use among teenagers is higher in Canada than any other country,” Johnston said. “What the Conservatives keep talking about is trying to keep it out of the hands of children or teenagers. The current policy is clearly failing in that one important element.”

The Liberal mandate is to both decriminalize and legalize marijuana. Johnston said marijuana is a social, rather than criminal issue.

“It is very expensive to incarcerate people, especially people who are not a risk to society,” Johnston said.

Johnston referenced the United States as an example of change occurring around marijuana legislation that is happening nearby. Twenty three states have decriminalized marijuana and four have fully legalized it to date.

“If you had told me five years ago that the United States would be leading Canada in terms of its thinking and legislation around marijuana, I would have been stunned by the notion,” Johnston said.

NDP candidate Wayne Stetski is also in favour of decriminalizing marijuana, though his approach to changing policy around the drug is far less aggressive than Johnston’s.

Stetski said he is not in support of legalizing the drug at the federal level until it is clear what effects such a policy would have.

“Decriminalizing at this points lets me then see how the legalization of marijuana would likely go and what the issues are around that for communities,” Stetski said.

“Ultimately, it is (in) communities where you will find the impact.”

He said in the short-term decriminalization is necessary to address overpopulation in prisons.

“I do not think our court system and our jails are used effectively when you are dealing with relatively minor charges associated with marijuana,” Stetski said. “Looking at the recent decisions, our laws are currently

out of step with where the Supreme Court of Canada seems to be going with their thinking.”

The Supreme Court recently made a landmark decision by concluding that consumable forms of marijuana must be allowed for patients seeking medical marijuana.

This decision has already made marijuana more accessible for patients looking to use it.

Bill Green, the Green Party candidate for the Kootenay-Columbia riding, is also in favour of both legalizing and decriminalizing marijuana, in line with his party’s longtime stance. The party’s plans go beyond simply removing laws against possessing and manufacturing the drug.

“We are talking about legalizing it in general and then associating it with research and education about risks and benefits,” Green said. “We are calling for studies in a medical context so doctors can prescribe it as a drug in the regulated drug system.”

He said not enough has yet been done to fully understand the potential impacts of marijuana as a clinical drug. Moving forward, he wants to promote education around the positives and negatives associated with marijuana.

Revelstoke residents will get to decide their stance of marijuana in the October 19th federal election.

If nothing else, the G7 countries’ recent agreement to end fossil fuel use for energy by 2100 signals a shift in the way we talk and think about global warming.

Previous agreements were about reducing carbon emissions from burning coal, oil and gas. This takes matters a step further by envisioning a fossil fuel–free future.

There are reasons for cynicism: the long time frame means none of the politicians involved in the commitment will even be alive, let alone held accountable, for meeting the target in 2100; Canada and Japan watered down Germany’s proposal to end fossil fuel energy by 2050; and many governments, including Canada’s, haven’t met even their current weak commitments. But in calling for deep emissions cuts by 2050 and an end to fossil fuel energy by 2100 — “decarbonization” — the non-binding pledge at least shows governments recognize the need to confront climate change.

Canada could show it takes the commitment seriously by heeding the advice of 100 scientists (including 12 Royal Society of Canada fellows, 22 U.S. National Academy of Sciences members, five Order of Canada recipients and a Nobel Prize winner, from a range of disciplines) who released a statement with 10 reasons

why, “No new oil sands or related infrastructure projects should proceed unless consistent with an implemented plan to rapidly reduce carbon pollution, safeguard biodiversity, protect human health, and respect treaty rights.”

According to Simon Fraser University energy economist and statement co-author Mark Jaccard, “Leading independent researchers show that significant expansion of the oil sands and similar unconventional oil sources is inconsistent with efforts to avoid potentially dangerous climate change.”

Another author, Northern Arizona University ecologist Tom Sisk, said it’s not just about climate: “Oil sands development is industrializing and degrading some of the wildest regions of the planet, contaminating its rivers, and transforming a landscape that stores huge amounts of carbon into one that releases it.”

The reasons for a moratorium include: oil sands expansion and investment are incompatible with climate protection and are slowing the shift to clean energy; monitoring and enforcement are inadequate; landscape is being contaminated and reclamation is insufficient; First Nations treaties are being violated; affordable alternatives are available; cumulative impacts have been ignored; and Canadians are demanding solutions.

Of course, it will take more than a nonbinding pledge and slowing or halting oil sands expansion to avert the worst consequences of climate change. In an article in the journal Nature last year, eight scientists who signed the moratorium statement, including Jaccard, argued Canada and the U.S. must stop treating “oil-sands production, transportation, climate and environmental policies as separate issues, assessing each new proposal in isolation.

A more coherent approach, one that evaluates all oil-sands projects in the context of broader, integrated energy and climate

strategies, is sorely needed.”

As part of a co-ordinated strategy, they proposed putting a price on carbon, through a carbon tax or cap-and-trade, to “ensure that the full social costs of carbon combustion are incorporated into investment decisions about energy and infrastructure.” Carbon pricing is widely accepted as an effective way to discourage fossil fuel use and encourage clean energy development.

In future, people will look back and question why we burned such precious resources so wastefully. Fossil fuels are solar energy, concentrated over millennia and useful for numerous applications, many of which we probably haven’t even discovered. Yet we’ve burned them largely so people, often solo drivers, can move around in tonnes of metal and plastic on land-destroying and expensive infrastructure. And we’ve used them to create increasing amounts of plastic packaging and unnecessary products that are now choking our oceans and land.

Moving toward zero carbon emissions — in a much shorter timeline than agreed upon by Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States — is absolutely necessary, and not just for the climate. Eliminating fossil fuel energy will cut dangerous pollution, create new economic opportunities and ensure resources are available for wiser applications.

The words of scientists, government leaders and other experts — and now Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama — make it clear that it’s time to turn the page on this destructive and relatively recent chapter in our history. Now we must ensure our leaders strengthen and act on their commitments.

BUSINESS

Business Beat: Fashion advice from Style Trend IMOGEN WHALE

Special to the Review If you’re thinking fashion in Revelstoke, there is a store that jumps immediately to mind. For many years, Style Trend has been offering stylish fare to Revelstokians.

In 2009, Diane and Steve Bull bought the established business. They brought in new brands, established an ecommerce site, and produced locally photographed seasonal look books, while retaining the original goals of the store.

“We have always tried to ensure we have something for everybody here in Revelstoke,” Diane Bull explains. “I grew up in Revelstoke and was a regular customer at Style Trend, so it was very exciting to be able to own it myself.”

Style Trend's first ever fashion show; with partners Sarah Mickel Photography, Déjà Vu Model Management (Kelowna), 1st Impressions Hair Salon, Kim from Pharmasave, and New Horizon Productions, was a raging success. “It was amazing!” Bull enthuses.

When it comes to style, Bull is qualified to offer some advice.

“Revelstoke is a fairly casual place, which makes putting together your wardrobe a bit simpler,” she says. Bull recommends a pair of good fitting dark jeans as a must for both men and women. “They can be worn casually or dressed up easily,” she explains.

There are a few simple pieces that can round out any closet. Bull recommends neutral layering items, such as tanks, t-shirts and sweaters. “You’ll get a lot of miles out of them,” she explains. “They match everything and are easily interchangeable.”

Bull recommends going as high quality as you can.

Generally speaking, the better the quality the better the piece of clothing will hold up. “Investing in your basics, the pieces you know you're going to wear time and time again, is so much better in the long run. I could go on and on with all the reasons to stay away from all the fast fashion out there, but I'm sure you've heard it a hundred times,” Bull says.

Style Trends tries to bring in quality items that maintain a price point that works for the customer. If possible, purchasing and supporting Canadian brands is always a plus.

When it comes to changing seasons, Bull recommends incorporating a new colour, accessory, or a couple of trend items to keep your basics fresh. And finally, when it comes to clothing care, follow washing instructions to ensure the longevity of your wardrobe.

And if you have any questions? Feel free to head into Style Trends, where the staff are happy to help you find your style or that one piece you want, and will always give you an honest answer as to how it looks.

The owners of Style Trend recommend a more casual look for looking good in Revelstoke. ~ Photos by Sarah Mickel Photography

New exhibit explores Shuswap landscapes

ARTS

BLACK PRESS STAFF Revelstoke art lovers will be treated to two new shows this summer, starting this Friday.

The side gallery will feature the work of a trio of artists from the Shuswap. Lazuline features Lisa Figueroa, Linda Franklin, and Tracey Kutschker, who for the past five years have collaborated to explore their love of nature and the familiar landscapes of home.

Throughout the process, they’ve each discovered that the landscape embraces them, whether it be the vision of Mt. Ida revealing herself after a turn on the Trans Canada Highway, or the smell of fir trees upon arriving home from work in the downtown core of Salmon Arm. “The concept of exploring the same scene through three diverse styles has evolved from a desire to share creative processes, to searching for their visceral purpose, their raison d’être,” reads a release from the gallery. “Abandoning the safety and isolation of individual studios, they were challenged to coalesce their artistic visions by using a triptych format, and have maintained their specific style while communicating their own version of place.”

Lazuline’s canvases combine to depict landscapes untouched by urbanization, destruction and neglect. Memory and idealism subtly enter into a composition, telling the viewer that what we remember is sometimes more important than what is real.

The main gallery will feature the exhibit

Above: Laura Stovel aims to minimize her energy use this summer. Below: A cauliflower curry heats up inside Stovel's homemade solar oven. ~ Photos by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review the mid-80s in Kenya, she wrote several papers on the use of solar technology. She has spent time living in different African countries, where centralized energy distribution is far less widespread than it is in Canada, so people find their owns ways of generating power.

"This is a way of building some skills and pursuing a passion of mine, but also addressing a crisis that's coming in terms of climate change, and how we can live lighter off the land," she told me.

It's also about her own journey of discovery, to look at the bad habits she feels results from easy access to energy.

"It's my theory that with the rushed life that I have, I compensate by wasting," she says. "The easy access to fuel compensates for an imbalance in life."

Stovel has set several rules for herself during her two months going off-the-grid. She's allowing herself two return car trips a month and she can drive for work, if necessary. If she's invited to a dinner party, she has to bring a solar-cooked meal with her.

Otherwise, her energy use is confined to what can be generated by her 250 watt solar panel and energy stored in the 12 volt car battery it is hooked up to. She uses that to power a small fridge, two lights and an outlet she can use to recharge batteries. She might

be able to get away with more, but she wants to challenge herself.

"I wanted to have to do the math on how much energy I use, so I wanted to push the limit," she said. "I did't want extra solar panels or extra batteries to take over what Hydro would do. I wanted to live close to the edge."

One thing she talked about was her carbon budget. The idea came from Hermann Bruns of Wild Flight Farms, who brought up the concept of everyone having a fixed amount of carbon they were allowed to use. Every time you made a purchase, the carbon impact would be deducted from your limit until you run out.

"It's an energy thing," Stovel said. "It's to prove we can live a lot lighter on energy."

While she was only on day two of her twomonth experiment, Stovel was already learning to reverse some bad habits like making sure she gets work done efficiently when she turns on her lap top, and turning it off when she's done.

She hopes people will follow her blog and look at their own energy usage.

"What I'm really curious about is what I won't go back to," she said. "I think I might not use all my gadgets. Keep my processor and not go back to my blender."

Kootenay-Columbia NDP issue eight-debate challenge ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Kootenay-Columbia NDP campaign has issued a challenge to all candidates to take part in eight debates throughout the riding.

The challenge was issue by candidate Wayne Stetski on Friday.

He called for all four candidates to take part in debates in Revelstoke, Golden, Invermere, Kimberley, Cranbrook, Fernie, Creston and Nelson.

“I intend to be there, debating the current MP at every opportunity,” said Stetski in a news release. “We are all asking the people of this area to choose us to be their representative. This is a job interview, so we all have to show up.”

He also called for each campaign to appoint a representative to a committee that would organize the eight debates.

By press time, Green Party candidate Bill Green had accepted and upped the ante, proposing additional debates in Salmo, Kaslo and Crawford Bay. “We have a very large riding with many smaller communities and we need to work to make sure that very few voters need to travel more than 30 min. to listen to and ask questions of their federal election candidates," he said in a news release.

A campaign assistant for Liberal candidate Don Johnston said in an e-mail they would talk to the Stetski campaign about coordinating debates, though he didn't go so far as to commit to attending eight debates.

MP David Wilks did not respond for comment on the challenge. In the 2011 election campaign he failed to show up for four of seven debates, including the one in Revelstoke.

Small Aquaducks contingent shines in Merritt

ELIZA MCGUIRE

Revelstoke Aquaducks Most of the Revelstoke Aquaducks took a weekend away from the pool this past meet in Merritt, and with only five athletes in attendance, the Ducks were one of the smallest teams participating.

Still, small numbers did not stop the Aquaducks from swimming big at the surprisingly large meet; surprisingly large, as this year boasted over twice as many athletes as the year previous due to a strong presence from the coastal teams.

The Okanagan teams expected the meet to run fast and hot, with very little competition. With the arrival

of more than 100 athletes from the coast and a strong wind, what the Okanagan got was a meet that ran late into the evening, only moderately warm, and with stiff competition.

While the Merritt breeze managed to keep the temperature to a bearable level, the exceptionally long first day took its toll on all the swimmers at the meet. Toughing it out the first day to swim the relay was six-yearold Rowan Marcinyshyn, and despite putting in more than eight hours at the pool on the first day, Rowan still swam a personal best the second day in the 25 meter backstroke.

Fatigue did not stop the senior Ducks from swimming new personal bests either, or breaking club re-

Beth Granstrom had a strong meet in Merritt, winning gold in her division. ~ File photo cords. Division 5 Girl Beth Granstrom broke the 200 metre individual medley record by nearly 10 seconds, and also squeaked out the 100 metre butterfly record by two one-hundredths of a second.

While not a typical BCSSA event, Beth also won the 400 metre freestyle by almost 30 seconds on her way to a gold aggregate for her division.

James LeBuke also had a strong meet with multiple best times and even more season bests on his

road to a gold aggregate for the Division 4 Boys.

Kaitlan Howard swam almost 100 per cent best times this weekend, propelling herself to a gold aggregate for Division 7 Girls. Kate Granstrom beat over half of her entry times and raced with a consistency and reliability of a mature swimmer all weekend, demonstrating her ability to keep her splits close even when exhausted.

LETTERS

Macpherson response requires mass letters to minister Editor, During the last month I have been talking to many users of the trails and what has surprised me is the amount of users visiting Revelstoke just to mountain bike. A rider from Canmore who comes at least six times a year to ride said he'd give up all the trails in Canmore to have the Ridge Walk/TNT trail and you can be assured that the town of Canmore would never see logging in a recreational area.

When I informed him this was the next area on the list to be cleared he was disappointed to say the least. No one I have spoken to has been thrilled about the future prospects for berry picking. The ministry's view of this issue is imaginary at best, but more than likely he is completely ignorant of how the logging activities are affecting the trails.

If you are interested in saving these trails, please take time to voice your concerns directly to the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Steve Thomson – as I have done – if you have not already done so.

About 25 years ago it only took 800 people to save Clayoquot Sound from a huge harvest. Anyone who has been to Tofino since then knows how they have benefited from saving the ecosystem. If we could get 1,000 or more people voicing their dismay, certain-

ly the powers outside our community who are putting this resource at risk would have to listen.

Dave Hickey, Revelstoke

ABOLISH THE SENATE Editor, Stupid, gullible, ignorant — that best describes us Canadians! Why? For decade after decade we have allowed personally selected greedy vultures to bilk the country of huge funds for their own personal gain. Think of how all that would have benefitted both health care and education.

Education? You bet we need it after allowing these dinosaurs to bleed the country for so long.

Abolish the Senate and declare that chamber a national museum for ancient artifacts.

Excuse me, no senators allowed.

The scene and all weapons were secured by the RCMP and the province's Independent Investivations Office, which investigates all police shootings, was called in.

The suspect was taken to hospital for medical treatment, while the RCMP officer was also in-

With a few keystrokes you can sample thousands of opinions, aoat in a sea of information.

Gathering and sorting the facts, weighing and interpreting events, and following the story from beginning to end is more important than ever.
