Four local residents are lucky~: -
to be alive after their boat,
swamped on the Kootenay River,
at South Slocan just below the
West Kootenay Power dams.

Three men and a woman, in a

17 foot open bow rider, were
attempting to navigate their craft
upstream through a narrow, swift
section of the river when the boat

was overwhelmed by the power-

ful water,

Two of the passengers were
swept down the river and two
were left clinging to the sub-
merged boat. None of the four

If not for the decisive action of
Josef, (aged nine) and ‘Aaron (age

have been tragic. The two boys
who live on the river ‘near West
Kootenay Power's dams had just
arrived to do a litile fishing when
the accident occurred,

The boys swiftly rowed out to
assist the man and woman who
had been swept overboard. Both
had been struggling against the
current and the cold waters for
nearly 10 minutes before they
were finally pulled ashore and

TENAYS

flared and exp!

tions were giyen at a mecting
held Monday night at Fruitvatc
Memorial Hali to address Beaver
} Valley residents’ concerns about
e proposed logging of the Lin-
nic Creek/Blizzard Mountain area

! by Atco Lumber.
A crowd of about 60 residents
‘addressed ‘their concerns to the
| Ministry of Forestry officials on
hand. The concerns were about
the quality of water in the water-
shed area; views of logged areas,
‘noise, access roads to the area,

‘wildlife displacement, logging

; practises, reforestation and the
sale of lumber to the United
States.

Some residents opposed the
logging completely and thought
the meeting, the ultimate purpose
of which was to get a number of
local residents to sit on a techni-
cal committee‘to make recom-
mendations to the ministries and
companies involved, was a waste
of time,

"If we couldn't harvest where
people didn’t want us to log in
this province, we'd be in a real
pickle,” said Ian Hamann, a rep-
resentative from the Ministry of
Forests Afrow District Office.
“@lanning for logging) is done in
such a way that there's no risk
involved. {

The number one concern is
water and water drainages. My
point is it's always been intended
to log in them and it’s how we log
that’s the issue.”

The ing: for the prop

there isa fund set up
to deal with problems of water
intake and supply, He said the
company would fix those prob-
lems and, if not, the ministry
would, noting that the problem
would be fixed first and questions

you don’t want any logging is no
input. If you feel strongly about a
visual area, give input.”

Swanson went on to note that
some of the people in the crowd
who were opposed to the work in
the forestry industry in the area

as to who was at fault d
later. He also noted that 13 per
cent of the domestic consumptive
watersheds are in the Arrow For-
est District,

Another concern raised was
that of reforestation, The crowd
was assured that any areas cut
had to be reforested by the har-
vesting company under laws
enacted in 1987.

The crowd was told that many
of the areas they had seen which
had not been reforested were
probably areas cut prior to 1987
but that those would be reforested
with the use of $300 million set
aside for such a use.

Several Montrose residents
expressed concerns about what
their view would be of the cutting
area, one sayizg he had been told
that the area would supply Atco’s
mills with timber for 23 years but
that he and his neighbors would

have to look at the harvested area *

for 23 years until it was back to
where it was before the harvest.
A resident proposed no cutting to
the height of the land so that the
logged area would not be visible.
Hamann explained that cuts are
made at an area of one hectare
per kilometre of viewing dis-
tance. That is to say, if the view is

logging in the Crown cutting area
located behind the McLeod sub-
division in Fruitvale will take
Place under a five-year plan. At
this point, the planning is in the
early stages so that problems that
might not have been seen can be
addressed by the ministry and the
licensee, in this case, Atco Lum-
ber. Atco has already held an
open house to display what its
Plans for the area are.

d concern

one kil re away, then the
view opening of the cut would be
one hectare wide.

Other concerns included
Atco’s logging practises. Several
residents brought up the spectre

were ployed by C

another resource-based industry.
"You can't have your cake and

eat it too,” Swanson added, as he

urged members of the crowd to
become active on the technical
committee for the third time. He
noted that several of those people
complaining about the area bein;
cut and scaring off wildlife had
10-30 acres of their own which
were cleared,

tioned why logging was to take
