Protesters face court @ 84 in valley find out Sept. 17 whether their blockade of a logging road near Silverton is a civil or criminal case Slocan Valley Watershed Alliance arrested Friday for disobeying a court order by blocking a logging road were in court Tuesday and will face ajudge again Sept. 17. Justice William Selbie of the B.C. Supreme Court adjourned the case until Sept. 17, when it will be decided whether the protesters blocking Slocan Forest Products Ltd. from building a logging road in aay Creek is a criminal or civil ” Prshislin had blocked road production for 19 days before the arrests Friday. Terry Dods, SFP manager of resource development, said Tuesday that work on the proposed 5.3 kilometre logging road is already underway. SFP plans to log about 118 hectares in the Red protection of their watershed, met Tuesday morning in Nelson with lawyers to discuss legal strategy. At about 11 a.m., the group headed en masse to the county courthouse, where they were greeted by applause from about 50 supporters. In handing down the adjournment, Selbie told alliance lawyer Peter Ritchie that alliance members were not to disturb the SFP road construction crew before the Sept. 17 hearing in Nelson. “What happens after that, I will leave up to the judge who will be making the decision,” Selbie said. Six protesters were approached by RCMP Tuesday for again blocking the road, but there were no arrests. Alliance spokesman Stephan Piernitzki. said the alliance did not organize the recent protest. “It was an example of people's emotions taking em over,” Piernitzki said. “This is something that is possible in the future, but it was not planned.” Piernitzki said the group is going tocontinue it’s battle through B.C.'s am system, although it has not been getting any response from the Ministry of Forests or SFP. “We're basically being ignored by the government, and the company is maintaining a narrow view,” i said. But Dods said SFP does not have to respond to the group, because the B.C. Supreme Court decided in the company’s favor in a Sept. 3 court case and awarded it an injunction to remove the protesters. “We've gone through all the processes,” Dods said. “We've gone through all the hoops. The — Court has decided that we correct.” Pods said SFP has refused to reply to calls from the alliance for further negotiations because he said its dispute is now with government, policy, not SFP. “They do not have any personal problems with us. They have a problem with policy,” Dods said. But Reiner Augustine of the Ministry of Forests disagrees. “We have been discussing the situation in Hasty Creek with the residents up there for eight years,” said ‘ Augustine, operations manager for the Arrow forest district. He said the ministry made a number of compromise proposals to the alliance, but all were rejected. Augustine also said a number of issues of concern to the alliance are unfounded. He said there will be no clearcutting or pesticides in the region, and said there is an established contingency plan to cover liability for any damages to the watershed.

Supreme court can make 'a decision on the issue, Forests Minister Claude Richmond said Tuesday. “It’s a matter of law and order,” Richmond said in a news release. Members of the Slocan Valley Watershed Alliance, many arrested Friday for blocking a Slocan Forest Products logging road in Hasty Creek, have accused the ministry of not taking their watershed planning concerns seriously. “The ministry has im- posed their policy on us,” said Stephan Piernitzki, an alliance spokesman. “That But ‘Reiner Augustine, operations manager for the Arrow forest district, said the Hasty Creek Integrated Management Plan, signed by the ministries of Envi- 1990, was the compilation of eight years of public discus- sions, our way to work with them.

Augustine said each of the issues has, in some form, been “There is. no plan for clearcutting,” Augustine said. “We have worked out a Augustine said the min- istry is open for further dis- cussions with the alliance, but only to discuss specific issues, not broad policies.
