7 - Wednesday, bebcuary 3, ‘Rape’ of Stein Valley protested OPEN LETFER TO PREMIER VANDER ZALM After the Stein Valley is logged, then what? For a few short-term jobs and the staving off of the closure of the Boston Bar mill due to overcutting in the area, a logg- ing company will be allowed by this to denude the last major unlogged watershed in southwest- ern B.C.and destroy yet another remnant of the aboriginal fabric which once covered this province, a way of Jife that used but never abused the resources of the land. As a mother and a concerned adult I strongly urge you to cancel the Stein Valley road construction and logging permits and create a Stein Valley Wilderness Preserve, thereby showing this province's youth you care about their future, a future linked intrinsically to the earth, the air and the water. Once we log the Stein Valley we destroy it. All the ecological com- ponents that make the Stein Valley W. Shore News article accuracy complimented Dear Editor: Many thanks to the North Shore News and to Karen Gram for the article explaining some of the work of Citizens United for Safety and Justice (CUSJ). The justice system has become so complex that it is difficult for the average citizen to understand all the categories, forms of release, etc. and thus it becomes difficult to clearly explain. It is rewarding therefore to have an article written with no serious errors in it. The North Shore News, in this case and in the past, surpasses the major publications in accuracy. Perchance someone connected to “tthe system’? contacts you to be critical or question our credibility, I would like to clarify two points Ruth blasted Dear Editor: Yes, ? surely agree with A. Toews’ letter published recently protesting the running of the col- umn Ask Dr. Ruth. It is a disgrace to carry these kinds of articles in our neighborhood newspaper and to expect our families here on the North Shore to read about nothing but perverted sex lifestyles. I belicve we get enough corrup- tion and ugliness on most TV sta- tions and in magazines. We don’t need any more. So, please, let us keep our beautiful neighborhood on our North Shore clean and unpolluted and let us return to something more creative and wholesome and worthwhile. Ursula Kosse West Vaicouver that were printed: 1. Mandatory Supervision (release at % of the sentence) does not apply to “‘life sentences."' Se- cond degree murderers are cligible for FULL PAROLE in 10 years and day parole in seven years. 2. Our contact has been mainly with the National Parole Board, Pacific Region. There is a separate B.C. Parole Board which deals with inmates serving two years ot less. Again, many thanks for the publicity given CUSJ and some of the problems that interfere with safety and justice. Congratulations for adding Les Bewley's column to your paper.

Queens Road, North Vancouver, B.C. ele! what it is, like Humpty Dumpty, can never be put back together again. Reforested lands can never replace the uniqueness of first growth lands, and that is why not just the Stein, but all such pockets of wilderness threatened by the in- satiable logging companies must be protected. Forestry industry jobs must come from land already logged and that means massive rcforesta- tion and subsequent reharvests. This industry, which has for the last 100 years been a purely extrac- tive one, will have to start seriously putting the ‘‘crop*’ back into the ground. Only then will they regain the confidence of the citizens of this province. They have no right to rape what precious little original growth re- mains, having brought so much extinction and waste already {o a ance superb environment.
