That was really positive for me." Members of the HCWC were very concerned prior to the court date, that the charges against them would be criminal. In fact, lawyers representing SFP and HCWC reportedly spent most of the day debating over the question of civil versus criminal charges. “The company's (SFP) legal Tepresentative. pressed very hard for criminal charges," claimed Hammond. However,| when asked about the claim, SFP spokesman Terry Dodds replied, “We have no opin- ion on it,” When asked about the court's decision to lay civil charges, he said, “that's the judgement of the court and we abide by it. “We have been carrying’on fequest that we work out a Pro-. cess by which they can continue monitoring our activities and We're presently working on that. All our plans have been known to them for some time, We have never kept anything secret.” Hasty Creck area residents and HCWC supporters had been blockading access to the area which SFP had plans to log, since August 19.

Another idea involved estab- lishing assistance for managers when evaluating specific train- ing needs, since these may be hard to identify. “As an employer, Tican’t always identify whi uld be improved in regards to the skill level of my employees,” com- mented one participant.» Networking between both big and. small businesses seemed to be a point upon which all participants ‘agreed, as well as to advocate addition- al training programs which are currently available in bigger centres such as the University of British Columbia. : “It's s extremely costly to send yees away for training. Why couldn't we open the training to a number of ‘busi- nesses by bringing the instruc- tor here"?

There were several reasons for Dome's choice of civil, rather than criminal charges. “I understand the frustrations you felt by virtue of the process that led to the granting of the road permit,” said Dome. “I appreciate the fact that you were at the end of your rope and driven by. despair, “This is the first case that I know of that took place so Peacefully.
