‘Trade Fair. The Trail Times, sis-

the ad. So did the Kootenay
Advertizer (printed April 25,
1994). And when Trail Area
Right-to-Life rejected, the request
was refused. This censorship is
especially astonishing after the
big anti-censorship protest by the
Nelson Daily news (December 9,
1993) when the paper was chas-
tised about printing graphic

depictions of male and female
genitalia (April 22, 1994).

Nelson Daily News decision questionable

Dear Editor:

The Nelson Daily News strikes again! The
current advertising staff is offended by baby

pictures so they refused to accept

display ads - even though such pictures have

been printed in the past.

Trail Area Right-To-Life had requested to
place an ad in both the Trail Times and Nelson
Daily News papers. The picture submitted was
approved in Trail but was rejected in Nelson.

The first time the N.D.N. censored a Pro-
life advertisement was when the advertise-
ment was accepted and pre-paid. When the ad

was run, however, its wording was

tentious and was replaféd (without consent or
advance knowledge of the advertiser) with the
word “no”,

This version depicts that when the “choice”
is to abort that suddenly there is no child in
their womb, when in fact there was a child -
but first he or she must be killed which results
in a dead baby:

them for

baby picture was made and again the

picture was CENSORED. The words that
were part of the ad read “The CHOICE” is a
matter of life and death of an innocent child”.
The advertiser was told that the statement was
acceptable but not the picture.

The actions of N.D.N. is anti choice and

Later the Nelson Daily news rejected a pic-
ture of a six week old child. There were no
Teasons given except that some employees felt
that it may be offensive. Imagine that - a baby
picture - offensive? A letter to the Editor

You’re invited!

Dear Editor:

The Castlegar and District
Heritage Society would like to
take this opportunity to invite
everyone to the Craft Fair on
May 7th at the C.P.R. Museum
and to take in the Art Sale that is
currently taking place at the
museum.

Because of the enthusiastic
response of the crafts people of
the area, craft fairs will be a re-
occurring event. If there is an
event that you would like to see
take place contact Debbie at the

interest in how it is

We all have to work with
populations of an animal that
has been reduced to a small per-
centage of its former range and
number. While we can all anal-
yse the limited data that exists
on population estimates and
who did what to which grizzly,
the bottom line is that these are

ffi

lies looking for food along the
beaches and homes of the West
Arm of Kootenay Lake as bears
did 200 years ago.

The present information on
acceptable action would be to
shoot the intruding bear to
avoid the risk to human life.

The Fish and Wildlife Branch
has been doing this for many
years with black bears, grizzlies
and cougars where they conflict
with people.

ng has proven to be
a waste of ti time and effort as
the bears often beat the truck
back to town.

Now, while we can all spend
time pointing fingers and writ-
ing letters to the editor, the time
may be better spent actively
doing something to protect and
support wildlife.

In the past years our club has
been very active in the follow-
inig projects, acquiring lands for
winter range for deer, and elk,
transplanting Mountain Goats to
Passmore, transplanting
Bighorn Sheep to Deer Park,
providing funds to Fish and
Wildlife Branch for relocating
problem bears during the fall
when F&W budgets are used
up, feeding deer, sheep and elk
during the tough parts of deep
snow winters, providing salting

away from hi
to avoid deer/automobile crash-
es, contributing funds and other
support to the Creston Valley
Wildlife Center when provincial

and Federal governments cut off
other funding.

During 1993 the club com-
mitted over $10,000 of time and
money to a project to enhance
Mountain Bluebirds. I could go
on but the point is our club,
under past President Steve
Davis has been vety involved as
advocates for wildlife. We are
not professional letter writers or
researchers and do not pretend
to be. We do hunt, fish and
enjoy wildlife.

Mr. Davis's comments may
have been perceived as “cal-
loused, inappropriate and
unfair” but they are true. Mr.
McCrory and Ms. Batycki's
comments regarding Mr. Davis
are hardly perceived to be any-
thing less than “calloused, inap-
propriate and unfair”.

Is this activity a one way
street? It is time to stop fight-
ing and get on with actively
doing something to assist the
bears besides locking them
away in preserves.

Let us work on access man-
agement, habitat protection,|
funding projects to census pop-|
ulations, reducing home based
garbage that attracts bears and
any number of other projects.

Yours in conversation,

Punch line? .
Did you hear about the town that rolled up the sidewalks at night?

There’s only two things for certain...

Today we will begin a series of
articles on the two inevitables in
life, death and taxes. Dealing with
the first inevitable we will begin
our series on life Life

Canada today is approximately
$2,000.

How long could your family
survive on this amount? Although

insurance is perhaps the most
wonderful financial product ever
created, but it is by far the least
understood.

Canadians are one of the most
insured people in the world, but
have definitely the least know!l-
edgeable on the subject. In Cana-
da, we have federal government
insurance like U.I.C., C.P.P.,
O.A.S., and G.LS..

At the provincial level, we
have an equally compticated
morass of insurance like W.C.B.,
LC.B.C. and M.S.B.. To compli-
cate matters further, many
employers provide another level

of misunderstood insurance called
Employee Benefits.

Suffice to say that you are pay-
ing thousands of dollars for these
programs, and the common
denominator is that you have no
choice in these insurance pro-
grams. They are legislated by Big
Brother and taken for granted by
you and I. Herein lies our igno-
rance of insurance in Canada.

This leaves only three types of
insurance for the average Canadi-
an to select independently: home
owners insurance, disability insur-
ance and life insurance. Since all
lending institutions demand prop-
erty insurance before they will
issue a mortgage, our only two
truly individual choices are dis-
ability and life insurance.

Disability insurance is general-
ly believed to be extremely com-
plicated. Many choose to ignore
this decision and depend on their
inefficient employer and govern-

future articles. Thus, we are left
with only one type of insurance
decision, life insurance.

I would estimate the 95 per

rough rule of thumb for life insur-
ance is a minimum of ten times
your annual earnings. Therefore,
if you have less than this amount
you are definitely underinsured.
However, you never die at the
right time! Many people who buy
sufficient amounts of life insur-
ance often forget to update their
policies and die many years later
leaving insufficient sums to their
beneficiaries. Fo- example, the
average death benefit paid in

these policies were taken out
many years ago the average pur-
chase of a life insurance policy
today is-still-a paltry $25,000.
Again, how long could your fami-
ly survive on this amount of
money? Six months to a year
maybe?

Now lets get rid of one myth.
You can never have too much life
insurance. Never in history has a
beneficiary said, “No, I cannot
take this amount of money, it is
far too much!”

The contrary is always true, “Is
that all there is?” You can always
have the wrong type of life insur-
ance at the wrong time and most
Canadians do, but you can never
have too much. With a million

Starting at around $1,000 per year
for young working people why
don’t all working Canadians have

It cost so little! How much do
you pay to insure your car every

could your family get for the
clunker anyway?

Here is where the magic of life
insurance exists. When someone
