OPINION

Publicity unfair

Ah, there's nothing like renewed interest in an unsolved case
of serial murders to arouse investigative journalists from their sum-

of course, to the so-called Green River murders, a
String of slayings that has claimed 41 female victims in Washington,
Oregon and Idaho. Another eight women are missing and presumed
dead. Almost all the victims were known prostitutes. The case is un-
solved.

Enter Mr. William Jay Stevens, Jr., a former Gonzaga Univer-
sity student in Spokane currently serving a jail sentence for burglary
in Washington's King Country jail.

Mr. Stevens is described as a “viable suspect” in the case by
the huge police investigative team searching for the Green River
serial killer,

Mr. Stevens, as of this writing, has not been charged.

Enter the journalists.

Photographs of Mr. Stevens, taken by the Spokane police
department, appeared in major daily newspapers in the Pacific Nor-
thwest, including The Vancouver Sun which assigned a staff reporter
to the story and even created a special graphic, “William Stevens:
Green River File,” complete with a profile sketch taken from one of
the police mug shots, to accompany the stories,

Seizing on information contained in a 39-page affidavit filed in
King County Court in which police place Mr. Stevens in proximity to
many — but not all of the slain women, stories went

into great detail about Mr. Stevens’ activities, travels, hobbies and
character. Interviews were conducted with his acquaintances, many
otf whom did not paint a very likeable picture of Mr. Stevens.

So what?

Mr. Stevens apparently collected X-rated videos and porno-
graphic literature

So what?

Mr. Stevens allegedly didn’t like prostitutes.

So what?

So far, the wealth of intormation dredged up and made public
allegedly linking Mr. Stevens to the killings is blatantly circumstan
tial, some of it bordering on laughable. For example, one of the vic-
tims, Lisa Yates, was last seen in Seattle on Dec. 23, 1983. Mr
Stevens used a charge card that day at the Westin rictel ir Seattle.
That's it. By itself, a tenuous link at best

Added to all the other alleged links perhaps it mokes, some
kind of case. But does it?

That's for the courts to decide if and when Mr. Stevens is for-

some of ail of the murders. At the moment, Mr.
Stevens is being tried by the media in a way which makes us in this
small corner of the business uncomfortable
Mr. Stevens may be the most unlikeable individual with
serious character flaws and hobbies which many people find
distasteful. But he is innocent until proven guilty.

The major media seem to have forgotten that in Mr. Stevens

Integrity lacking

On Thursday, June 8, the Vallican
Archaeological Park Scoiety held an
open annual general meeting in the
Vallican Heritage Hall. Many of us
who live in this valley and in Vallican
watched the passing of this event with
keen interest. Some watched in
disgust.

The AGM passed a motion deman-—

ding full participation in a planning
Process to negotiate the relocation of
the road designated to run by the
native Indian heritage site. The
minister of highways has made it clear
that there was no room for public in-
put

The issue here is not about the road
or the bridge. The issue here is a plea
for consultation on behalf of a
prehistoric community that is still
living and whose lineage goes back
over 9,000 years. The plea is a request
for a thousand years of sensitivity to
the looation of the road in respect of

so-called civilized countries, would do
more crime than it would prevent,
and get away with it

One stops to think and realizes that
after all, it is true — they not only
commit a crime, they actually incite it
by asking you to carry out this crime
and murder for them. If you don’t,
they throw you in jail and call you a
criminal and degrade-you, put a black
mark on you, because you have been in
prison.

In my experience of being sentenced
toa year and a half in prison (in bygone
days), I found that when I was freed
and looking for work, or even working
with my fellow man, that when they'd
find out that I was an ‘‘ex-convic
even not knowing for what purpose,
they would shun me.

This was almost always the case,
unless I was with a mate who had
the same understanding as myself, that
is, was opposed to war and killing, and
in those days, during the Second

litary way, he would certainly
be out of order

But today, the atomic and hydrogen
bombs have changed that, and people
have began to think more that ever
about finding better means to settle
disputes in a more intelligent way.

In thinking and reasoning this
through, our only hope is to enlighten
our youth of this danger, and at the
same time try to put reasoning power
into the governments of all the world,
so that they would truly understand,
that force and brutality have had their
day. Now, we must use reason before it
is too late. The youth of today must
understand that the greatest injury

Public shouldn't pay

While listening to the television news
recently, I learned that the government
of Alberta is lending, or has lent, Mr.
Peter Pocklington a sizeable chunk of
change.

Taxpayers’ money, of course, as
that is supposed to be the only means a
government has of obtaining funds for
allits projects.

The news item went on to say that
Mr. Pocklington’s meat packing
business was doing poorly and hinted
that, in part, the reason for this sad
fact was due to the terrible way he
treated his employees when they struck
for higher pay and better working con.
ditions.

In other words, working people have
since that time shunned buying
Gainers meat products. The fact that
Mr. Pockington traded Wayne Gret-
zky was also thought to be part of the
reason but this does not have much to
do with what makes me angry

What makes my blood boil is that
Mr. Pocklington was aided and abet
ted by Alberta’s Conservative gover-
nment in his abuse of the packing plant

employees, and now that working
people in Alberta and elsewhere have
shown their displeasure of his actions
by refusing to buy his meats the Alber-
ta government is using the working
man’s tax dollars to reimburse the
Pocklington interests for the loss of
dollars imposed upon him by the
outraged public

Being a multi-millionaire, Mr
Pocklington should be well able to
stand any loss he may have fallen heir
to by reason of his‘own foolish notion
that he can stomp roughshod over
John Public

I can see no reason why |the people
who are withholding their support of
his company should be made to pay
him anyhow by the Alberta gover-
nment and have absolutely no choice in
the matter.

I believe that this action by a Con-
servative government tells anyone who
cares to look which side of the fence

the total and area en-
compassed north of the Little Slocan
iver.

The absence of the native com-
munity in the engineering of the
proposed road location displays a lack
of any sense of integrity or respect. To
a race and culture so few in number,

this intrusion into the resting place of
their dead is an outrage and an insult.
It was not up to the Archaeological
Park Society to resolve the issue of the
proposed road alignment. The
Ministry of Highways and the gover-
nment of B.C. have had 10 years to

and the vision of the Arrow Lakes In
dian Band. It is a history and a per-
manence at Vallican that white culture
has yet to demonstrate anywhere in the
“New World.””

In this system of government, those
with aboriginal title have every right to

an and sen-
sitivity to the native peoples and their
aboriginal heritage at Vallican. They
have failed completely to indicate
that they comprehend the sensitivity of
the site. Now, 10 years later, the
Ministry of Highways, knowing the
truth that is buried at Vallican, con-
tinues with the project in spite of that
truth. Now, in 1989, there has been
more damage to the grounds, but this
time there is no ignorance.

Yet we stand in polite assembly to
allow a handful of provincial em-
ployees tell us that what took 3,000
years to build will be compromised
without negotiation in less than a
summer's breeze.

The native people of Vallican knew
nothing of a road toll for settling the
banks of the Slocan River. To bring life
into the world for more than 30
generations and to lay those same
children into the ground to live in spirit
at Vallican is a tribute to this location

the destiny of their land

The Supreme Court has ruled on this,

but our provincial government con-
tinues to ignore the concept

Build the road as it is proposed now
and the cost to politician, taxpayer,
and resident alike will far exceed the
cost it would have taken to consult
as equals. Now we, along with the
native people, will pay the toll toa road
conceived in ignorance and contem-
plated with brutal arrogance.

The Regional District of Central
Kootenay chairman George Cady has
shown that local government has in-
tegrity. It is willing to represent local
people and local concerns and to act as
amediator for the many diverse groups
of our community.

Perhaps our representatives at the
provincial levels of government could
take a lesson from this pertinent
display of integrity and sensitivity.

Stopping clearcutting
won't end logging jobs

Recently over 1,000 “Stop Clear-
cuts’ signs were made in this area
Within a few days they were totally
sold out

“Stop Clearcuts’’ decals have
sprung up everywhere on cars and
windows. Some people may not know
that the ‘Stop Clearcutting’’
mpvement does not mean to end
loggers’ jobs — it means to save them
through selective logging, which
means taking more time and more care
of the land while making jobs last
Many loggers support this sentiment
privately, but cannot say so publicly
for fear of losing their jobs. Logging
companies do not want selective
logging because they are so ac-
customed to the artificially high profits
of clearcutting

All the major side valleys off the

Slocan Valley have been extensively ~

clearcut (except those in Valhalla
Park, which contain only a miniscule
percentage of cuttable timber in this
area). In many of them that means that
virtually all the good sawlog trees are
gone. This has happened in only 30
years. Even the oldest of these clear-

cuts may not have merchantabie tim-
ber again for at least another 70 years,
and that’s providing that the soil can
still sustain a forest of large trees, or
that the replanted trees, which are all
one species, do not fall prey to disease,
acid rain or other problems.

The area covered by these clearcuts
might still have standing forest which
could have sustained untold more
years of cutting éf it had been logged
selectively. Loggers would still be
assured years of work close to home.
Now, however, the logging company is
having to send its operations further
and further from the mill, or else into
the main Slocan Valley, its domestic
watersheds and its scenic surroun-
dings.

In the Slocan Valley, the logging
company is preparing to lay off some
of it$ loggers. These lay-offs have hap-
pened periodically for years, due to
technological changes and market
fluctuations. Recently rumors have
been spread at the logging company
that the upcoming lay-offs are due toa

Winlaw resident
waits for call

I wrote recently to Arrow Forest
District manager Ken Arnett about my
phone call to his office about two
weeks ago. I phoned to speak with him
about my concerns with the ministry's
public involvement process in plans for
logging in consumptive use watersheds
in this area. He was not available, so I
asked to speak to someone else and was
put on hold for Mr. Ted Evans for
several minutes, with no warning it
would bea long time

I hung up and called again and was
told that he had three calls waiting (she
had only said ‘‘one moment”’ before)
Since I was calling long distance, | told
her what I was calling about and left
my name and number. I have still not
heard back from anyone in his office.

Several of my neighbors and friends
have telephoned Mr. Arnett’s office in
the past while, with similar results of

being put on hold and/or leaving
messages which have not been retur-
ned.

1 want to stress how important 1
think it is that he keeps open com-
munication with those of us who live in
watersheds with logging plans who are
not also clients in the supply of wood
fibre. I believe he wants me to trust him
to be acting in all of our interests. So
far, he has broken that trust all too of-
ten. He is in a position to make a really
positive difference in logging standar
ds, to ensure practices which would
mean local mills could still actually be
operating in 10 years’ time and the
water and forest would not be lost. |
encourage him to use the discretionary
power which he has, And please don't
forget to phone me. . . or write

Bery! Clayton

In the early 1980s, this same mill wrote
its employees that if the Valhalla Park
were deducted from its cut, it would
have to shut down; but when the park
was created, the mill said no more and
suffered no loss. In 1987 Slocan
Forest Products made $11 million in
profits from its various mills. But when
the opportunity presents itself to gain
still more profits by laying off loggers,
it will do so. That’s how much the
company cares about loggers’ jobs.

There are many examples of selec-
tive logging in the Slocan Valley which
has been profitable, both to the
operators and the forest; but the com-
pany and the government keep
promulgating the myth that clearcut-
ting is best for the forest and that jobs
depend upon clearcutting.

Many forestes and loggers have
been prejudiced or coerced into
denying what they see happening to
our forests with their own eyes, and
what their expertise actually tells them,
by the threat that their jobs will be lost
if the logging is done in any other way
Thus the governmental-industrial
dogma goes on like a dinosaur with its
armor of defences, facing sure extin-
ction once its failure to adapt to the en-
vironment has created enough
catastrophe.

But the residents of the Slocan
Valley are determined that it will not
take their forests with it into extin
ction

Recession may be near

CP News Analysis
By LARRY WELSH

OTTAWA (CP) — Economists call
it the inverted yield curve. It usually
means a recession is onthe way

It happens when short-term rest
rates soar above longer-term
borrowing charges and results in some
strange contortions in money markets.

One such case: Over the last two
weeks major banks trimmed their
four- and five-year mortgage rates at
the same time Bank of Canada gover-
nor John Crow was keeping rates high
to control inflation.

That left many borrowers won
dering whether interest rates were
headed up, down or sideways.

The confusing answer is all three.

The Bank of Canada’s trend-setting
bank rate rose slightly last week to

A SIS

12.32 per cent from 12.3 per cent,
where it had remained for the two
previous weeks

Medium-term interest rates have
been stable in the bond and money
markets around 9.25 109.75 per cent

Longer-term rates, like borrowing
charges on mortgages and yields on 10.
and 20-year government bonds, have
edged lower. Most banks have cut the
cost of four- and five-year mortgages
by a quarter of a percentage point to
11.75 percent.

All this is happening because players
in Canadian money markets — curren

Crow will win his fight against in-

PROTECT YOUR HOME

Sixty-six percent of all burglaries

when the homeowners are on
vacation

A computerized security system
backed by a central station is a sound
investment and can offer adequate
protection, A staff is always at hand
to watch your home around the clock
for such emergencies as break-ins

Seeing that most homeowners do
not have a security system, here are
some tips for protecting property
especially during the summer
vacation months.

* Don't broadcast your vacation
plans, If you're travelling by car
don't load it in the evening betore
and leaye it in the driveway over
night

* Get inexpensive timers thot
automatically turn lights on and off in
several rooms of the house. A dark
house or outside and inside lamps
left burning for days tells burglars
no one is home

© Use timers for radio, too. Tune to
an all-talk station. A burglar may
think someone is home, even if no
one answers the door bell

* Have a second car? Park it haltway
up the driveway to make it look like

someone is home*and to. prevent
burglars trom pulling a van close to
the house
* No second car? Ask a neighbour to
pork his or her car in your driveway
Trattic in and out makes your house
look occupied
* Make arrangements to have the
grass cut during your vacation.
* Unless you have someone collect
mail, newspapers and other things
delivered to your door, stop all
deliv.
* Ask @ neighbour to use your trash
cans on pick-up day
* Leave drapes and blinds partially
open
* Store valuables in a satety deposit
