Hasty
Creek
protesters
fined

@ Civil contempt costs all
but 5 young offenders $500;

fine suspended for two years
if no more illegal activity

Thomas Bink
NEWS REPORTER
The fate of the 84 protesters ar-
rested for blocking a logging road
at Hasty Creek in the Slocan Val-
ley was decided Tuesday when all
—. five young. offenders were
fined $500 for civil contempt, an
‘alliance spokesman said today.
“We're relieved by the court rul-
ing,” said protest organizer Sally
Hammond.

The 84 people were arrested
Sept. 7 for attempting to stop Slo-
can Forest Products Ltd. from
building a logging road at Hasty
Creek, about 110 kilometres
northeast of Castlegar.

The protesters were seeking
protection of the watershed which
supplies water to about 50 resi-
dents, and had successfully
blocked the road production for 19
days prior to the arrests.

Justice P. Dohm, after hearing
testimony from SFP lawyers at-
tempting to have the case heard as
a criminal suit, decided it was a

civil dispute and fined each

protester $500. The fine is sus-
pended for two years, after which
payment will be forgiven if the
protesters do not engage in any
further illegal actions at the log-
ging site.

Each protester was also fined
$50 for court expenses.

“The judge seemed to have
quite a bit of sympathy for us,”
Hammond said.

Although the protesters lost
their case in court, they will con-
tinue to fight for their water rights
and a new Integrated Watershed

Plan, she said.

“We will continue looking to re-

place the:current IWMP with an

plan,” Hammond said.

Bel out of running in bid
for highways contract

Donna Bertrand
NEWS REPORTER

Bel Maintenance Inc. of Nelson
won't be looking after the high-
wayg around Castlegar once its
current contract expires.

But no jobs will be lost, Bel
president Dennis Hall said today.

“The employees will flow to the
new contract so there’s no loss of
work,” Hall said. About 110 people
work in the service area.

Oct. 20. However, “there's been no
official notification other than the
fact that they're not negotiating
with us,” Hall said.

Under the ministry’ ’s system of
awarding contracts, applications
for proposals are evaluated and
successful applicants are invited
to submit a full proposal. The pro-
posals are then narrowed down to
one company which then makes a
bid. Contract negotiations start

there.

Ministry staff in Nelson's re-
gional office said they couldn't
comment until Victoria releases
an official announcement.
