We apploud the provincial government's latest effort to crack down on drinking drivers. Under legislation which takes effect this weekend, police, through doctors, will be permitted to take blood samples without consent. from drivers suspected of being im- paired. (See story, B4). The new law ef of their individual freedoms under. the new Charter of Rights. That argument can be best on- swered by pointing out that in-° diylscet rights should be protected . — as long as they don't infringe on others’ individual rights. And in the case of drinkin drivers, oie lives. ore at ‘ris off a loophole that until now has allowed some drunk. drivers to escape justice by feigning injury to avoid a breathalyzer test. The legislation also nets im- paired drivers who are unable to give their consent to a b haly test b of legitimate injuries. Any impaired driver respon- sible for a car crash in which property is damaged -- or worse, innocent people are injured or killed -- should be held accoun- toble under the full weight of the law. The argument -- and it was one given by many respondents in a recent CasNews On The Street feature -- is that taking ¢ man- datory blood saniple strips drivers Ly d driver clim- bs behind the Wheel of avehicle. : The only problem with the new is that It:add the issue of drinking drivers a bit after the fact -- something like closing the barn door after the horse is long gone. The law hits drinking drivers — who have bean involved in an ac-, cident, but whether-or not it wilt deter ‘them from drinking and driving in the first place is a moot: point. | Perhaps that's the next step f for the government; to stringent legislation that will con- ‘vince more drivers it is worthwhile. to leave their car keys in their pocket when they've been drinking. . pa Election time again Mr. Broadbent was in Castlegar. 5 National New Democratic Party leader Ed Broadbent's visit to Castlegar last weekend was a significant one.

I'm just like your partner - keep forgetting more than a 100 years has gone by since we rattled around in that valley.” With the sound of a coach whistle and a silent send-off from our oldtimers in the sky, the seventh annual Fort Steele Trek was under way.
