Celgar Pulp Co. wants to close the woodroom at the pulp mill and buy chips as the sole source of fibre for the pulp mill. Westar Timber Ltd., which owns the rights to farm TFL No. 23 has nowhere to sell its pulp wood so no doubt it will leave it in the bush as legacy to our children. Westar will cream out the sawlogs in all the accessible areas over the next 10 years and then be gone, leaving behind a legacy of decadent, inac- cessible timber with a 40-80 year lag before reforestation efforts pay off. We are losers ! We had a viable lumber and timber operation going in and around Nakusp until TFL No. 23 was created. For the next 30 years, the tree farm operated much as it should with two mills at Castlegar processing the wood which was harvested within the confines of the tree farm. At times we felt that the logging was not keeping pace with growth in the industry but changes were slowly taking place in the mills to upgrade technology and increase produc- tion. Then the economic downturn came and the “company” found it- self competitive in the market. Drastic changes were attempted to make a turnaround in the fortunes of the “company”. Then, without a very clear explanation, the pulp mill was sold out of the agreement. It appears to have been sold without an obligation to purchase the pulpwood off the TFL No. 23 This is where we find a great dif- ficulty in understanding what hap- pened. The tree farm was granted and put together to utilize the decadent cedar and hemlock growth of this wetbelt area in order to log off the less desirable wood in order to get second generation high quality wood growing to feed the mills on a sustained yield basis. The tree farm, which is larger than some European countries — was to provide fibre for the pulp mill and sawlogs for the sawmill. When first granted, the said there would be three mills, two at Castlegar and one at Nakusp. That changed to the two at Castlegar. Now it appears that the tree farm is still held by the licensee but only one mill remains. There appears to be no obligation to remove the decadent hemlock and overmature cedar and other species less attractive to the lum- ber market. This is not the philosophy which established the tree farm and since the base rules have been changed, so the end must be changed. Either the tree farm rights must be stripped from Westar (the present licence holder) or they must be made to live up to its con- tractural agreement with the province of British Columbia. That contract calls for the removal of the pulpwood from the woods and Processed through the mill at Castlegar If Westar sold the pulp mill without living up to that contrac- tural agreement, it is in default and should forfeit all rights. We are the losers. The young aggressive management team at Westar will be long gone when they have creamed the sawlogs out of the valley. We will be left with the legacy of decadent tim- ber. We must not let that happen, otherwise our children have no future in this valley and British Columbia will have lost one of the most productive and beautiful valleys in the province.

Under the Woodlot Licence Program of the Min istry of Forests, small-scale forestry operations have sprung up throughout British Columbia. The program has been in effect for almost five years and the results are impressive. The woodlot ‘licence allows a local person with an interest in forestry to obtain up to 400 hectares (1,000 acres) of Crown land to manage himself.’ He also has the option of increasing the size of the woodlot by adding some of his private land and managing the whole unit under an approved manage. ment and working plan. The allowable cut is determined by the Forest Ser. vice but through increasing utilization standards or silvicultural practices the woodlot holder can increase the volume cut per year. The popularity of the program stems from three key factors. Firstly, the idea of obtaining a long term tenure over a parcel of land that can be managed in perpetuity for the direct benefit control over_a parcel of Crown land adjacent to his private land. His quality of lifestyle will be greatly in , ators the forest while still extracting some revenue to finance his operations. The intensity of operations vary with the ability and interest of the holder. Funding sources have been estab lished to assist these small-scale oper. with silvicultural activities. Spacing, thinning, and pruning activ ities have been carried out to en courage a vigorous, healthy forest. The knowledge the woodlot holders have already gained is helping them make sound decisions about the long-term management of their areas. Woodlot associations are being formed in dis- tricts throughout the province to offer an exchange of ideas and opinions and to collectively voice concerns on matters affecting woodlot manage. ment. The Ministry of Forests assists woodlot holders through the moni toring of activities and through recom: mendations on practices. Because of the inexperienced nature of many of the woodlot holders the Forest Service has played a prominent role in these early years, however, the woodlot holders are gaining the ability to address management issues on their own. The enthusiasm shown to date fluenced py his g practices. If the woodlot holder had a water licence within the woodlot area he can utilize management strategies to pro- tect or improve his water supply. The third, sometimes intangible, benefit from being a woodlot licensee is the processes that occur within a forest. The educational aspect of holding a woodlot is immense. By understanding the forest the woodlot holder can work within the parameters of the biological framework to improve di the woodlot program is a viable one and that small-scale forestry will make a real contribution to British Columbia forestry in the future. In the Castlegar district seven woodlots have already been awarded and the ministry is presently consid- ering several potential areas for the expansion of the program. (Rick Biller is in charge of the Ministry of Forests’ Small Business Program, which includes woodlots in the Arrow Forest District.) Can say ‘bottom line’? I knew you could, Mr. Williezalm's Neighborhood Remember When? 4 YEARS AGO From the Feb. 19, 1948 Castlegar News A delegation from the Castlegar Board of Trade journeyed to Nelson last Friday to interview Superinten- dant Hood of the motor vehicle branch re the issuing of licenses in Castlegar. Mr. Hood said that the local Provincial Police could no longer handle the licenses in Castlegar as it interfered with their work and. that residents of Castlegar and District would either have to write for or go into either Trail or Nelson to get them. *“ * « High Conquest starring Anna Lee and Golbert Roland plays Friday and Saturday at the Castle Theatre. * 8 « On the afternoon of Saturday, February 14th, the Coronation Hall was the scene of a Valentine tea, sponsored by Kootenay Temple No. 37, Pythian Sisters, with all proceeds for the local hospital fund. * * « The Castlegar Co-operative Transportation Society was host to the Letters to the Editor We already have access In your Jan. 24 issue you quote Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco as saying the free trade agreement will open access “to a consumer market of 300 million people”.

Our present trade position was developed through seven rounds of tariff reductions negotiated through Abortion questions I would like to submit three points to ponder in the ongoing discussion on abortions. Is it not the time for choice before a woman becomes pregnant? What is amiss with a community where the female of the species turns upon its young? Should there be an investigation into the health of young British Columbian women, when it is found necessary to perform 11,000 abortions in one year in this province, to end an intrinsically natural process? Nancy Knight Robson the GAT7' process which involves a total of 95 countries. We should be concentrating our tariff-reducing ef- foris on those members of GATT who have not opened their borders or set up other means of discouraging Can adian trade. Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are examples of countries who have enjoyed easy access to our markets while denying us the benefits of access to theirs. As a businessman I would be very worried if one customer accounted for 80 per cent of my business. As it is now when the U.S. economy sneezes f cent or more here. In the 1983 Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said, “Free trade is a danger to Canadian sovereignty”. I agree. Mr. Mulroney has changed his mind, but he was right the first time.

Again, thank you all very much. Maurice Cownden President More letters AS OF DOUKHOBORS Media changes view By KOOZMA J. TARASOFF Among the modern surprises that I have recently noticed is a change in the way the media have begun to look upon the Doukhobors. When 7,500 Russian immigrants‘Tanded in Canada in 1899 the Canggian public was at first impressed by strong backs of these strange creat; » but generally criti cal of their €Sopgrative values and their zeal of uncommn behavior. Instead of looking for trends and meanings, most members bf the media did not question the prevailing views of the dominent society. They preferred to foster the stereotype of the uncouth Slav. Over the years, concerned Douk- hobors have sought to correct this image, but largely without any effect. In 1958, for example, I released a Report on the Press of British Colum bia Regarding Doukhobor and “Sons of Freedom” News, as a challenge to the Vancouver Sun to make its reporting on minorities more balanced. The Sun ignored it. Doukhobor organizations have periodically sought to persuade the media to be more accurate and fair, but laregly without effect. Doukhobors have asked book publishers to be more careful in their presentations, but their pleas have usually gone unanswered. Negative stereotypes seemed to al ways get into print. Now, almost all of a sudden, in the past year or two I have noticed a change. There is now some effort to separate behavior from people. It is no longer a case of blaming the Douk- hobors or the Sons of Freedom for burnings and bombings in their com- munities. Rather it is now a case of being journalistically honest and look- ing at each cash with fresh eyes. At long last, journalists are beginning to learn the true meaning of the modern-day law that recognizes blame for individuals who are proven guilty in a court of justice — but no longer condemns a whole group of people as a category as once was done in the days of tribalism and witchcraft. tis no longer a case of blaming the Doukhobors or the Sons of Freedom’ What is the source of this change? Perhaps it resembles a paradigm shift when the accumulation of inconsis- tencies in-the media happens to be out of step with the modern multicultural reality of our day. It is probably an ion of collective pi over some 30 to 40 years, by concerned groups and individuals seeking accur- acy and justice. Perhaps it was the unique timing of events that precipitated the change. George Stushnoff, program director, Saskatoon office of the Federal De- partment of Secretary of State, and now current president of the Sask. Wilfred Popoff, contacted the Canadian Press in Toronto, The response of Keith Kincaid, president of CP, was most favorable. His letter of Nov. 28, 1985 reads as follows: “Sometimes it takes a letter like yours of Nov. 19 to alert us to the need to re-examine aspects of CP style. “A number of our senior people have considered your view that it is unfair to other Doukhobors when we label the Sons of Freedom of British Columbia. They agree a change is needed. ° “We are asking our staff to refer to this breakaway sect simply as Sons of Freedom in first reference, following up later in each story to explain that they are a radical group that split from the mainstream in 1902. “And, yes, we will later alter that unfortunate reference in the CP Style- book.” There you have it. Time, effort, and the right approach were the winning ingredients to the improve- ment of this long sorry state of journ- alistic practice in Canadian society. We all welcome this, and hope that the media extends this thinking to other peoples of Canada and the world — such as to the Soviets, the Palestinians, the Arabs and others who are often characterized in the West by inaccu- West Kootenay Union of C last Friday evening at meeting. a dinner 25 YEARS AGO From the Feb. 14, 1963 Castlegar News A dispute over the wording in the minutes of Castlegar.council's Jan. 15 meeting of an alleged request by Comm.

MORE LETTERS Cruise tests disturbing Once again it is the season for our annual government-sanctioned Amer- ican cruise missile tests in Canadian territory; we look forward to them like a dose of bitter di It is most — because they are easily concealed and non-detectable by radar when in flight. In light of the disturbingly high unfortunate that these tests come right on the heels of the greatly encouraging INF Agreement — still not ratified by the American Congress — regarding intermediate range nuclear missiles in Europe. Why must Canada continue to be a testing mechanism for the ongoing escalation of sophisticated nuclear strategies? Cruise missiles are highly destabilizing to world security.

This subject (missile tests) brings to mind some of the questions asked of Douglas Roche, the Canadian Ambas- sador for Disarmament, when he spoke last fall at the Brilliant Cultural Centre on the future of disarmament. Some of these were: 1. Instead of continuing — through complicity with U.S. nuclear strategies — to be part of the problem of nuclear escalation why do we not try to become part of the solution? Why are we not actively pursuing de-escalation? 2. Canada has made a good name in the world as a peace-keeping and peace-making nation. Why do we continue to jeopardize this. good name by being party to nuclear escalation? 3. Why is a large portion of our Conservative government's White Paper on Defence devoted to dis- cussion of the so-called great opport- unities for Canadian industry in getting on the “gravy train” of component- manufacture for American defence strategies — such as the Air Defence Initiative (ADI) and Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI)? Those who claim we need the “gainful employment” prov. ided by the military-industrial complex are in effect suggesting that we should become gainfully employed in building our own coffins — what a paradox! 4. Why has Canada continually shown no apparent interest in Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's significant Canada, 2524 Cypress St., V. : B.C., V6J 3N2. John Graham B.C. Coordinator OXFAM Canada. initiatives regarding nuclear de-escal ation, for example, the two year moratorium — which the Soviets kept — on nuclear testing; the proposal for a nuclear-free world by the year 2000; and the proposal for a nuclear-free arctic? How can the West afford not to explore progress with Mr. Gorbachev — or any other solution-seeking world leader? The next Soviet leader may revert to “cold war” diplomacy again — and then this possible good opportunity to improve global security will be lost. I agree with one aspect of the Defence White Paper to the extent that Canada should be more res. ponsible for its own security — that we should build up our conventional forces to a respectable level so that we could — except in the case of a nuclear attack — defend our territories. If Canada does not patrol its own coastlines and arctic waters other powers will — whether we like it or not. But let us keep in mind that somebody has to work for alternate solutions to military escalation if we hope to avoid annihi- lation of this planet. Albert Einstein — among his monvu- mental contributions to science — delivered a profound warning for the benefit of mankind when he declared that “the nuclear age has changed everything except our ways of thinking and thus we drift towards unparalleled catastrophe”. In former years one remembers hearing rude remarks by unscientific people about Einstein's credibility. But when that single small atom bomb flattened Hiroshima the world saw dramatic and gruesome proof that this man knew what he was talking about when he formulated his fanfous equation. E=mc2. Some people ridiculed Einstein's Theory of Rel- ativity — now this theory is “law” and is fundamental to the understanding of physics and astronomy. Without grasp- ing the concepts of this theory man would never have reached the moon. Do we dare, then, to doubt this man's pronouncement on “unparalled cat- astrophe?” Testing cruise missiles is not “changing our ways of thinking”. When will we get our act in order?

And from him will Earthly Mother turn away, and will pluck from her quickening breasts. And he will be shunned by her angels, and Satan will have his dwelling in his body.
