Not the Person Charged

Editor, Castlegar Newa:

In the March 23 issue of
the Castlegar News, under the,
headline “Local Court News,” a
certain Peter Voykin was

‘charged and fined $460 for

having a blood alcohol count of
over .08,

I wish to inform the
readers of this paper and others
that I, Peter Voykin of Pass
Creek, am not the person
charged.

I have no ill feelings
against your paper, for you
publish only what is given to
you by the court registry,
which does not consider the

innocent persons who could be
mistaken for others charged or
convicted in court.

Peter Voykin
Pass Creek, B.C.

(Editor's Note: As the
Castlegar News has pointed out
in the past, court registry pro-
vision of additional details such
as ages, addresses or occupa:
tions would eliminate such
incidents, Unfortunately, court
services officials we have con-
tacted fcol the provision of
additional details by court
registry staff would be in-

members of Castlegar's
Portuguese community have
requested instruction in the

manner in which children
