_ Dear Editor:

An article appeared in
your Wednesday, June 21,
paper, outlining that the
Greater. Vancouver. Regional

District (GVRD) has begun:

its summer tours into our

local watersheds so that the’ -

public. can see where their.

/drinking water comes from.

As a participant in some of
” these tours it became’ evident
to me that the’ central ‘reason
“for these tours is to sell the
public on the GVRD's forest

“ management plan, ie: logging.
the watershed’s old- “growth |
‘forests. :

"As we have probably ‘all
“heard before, the GVRD is
“conducting logging ‘only if it
has been: determined that it
improves.” water. ° quality.”
. Figure that one out! . ‘

:The excellent ‘photograph’.

that accompanied the News:

What your photograph
does not reveal is the unstable
slope leading down into the
reservoir where trees have
been uprooted.

Loose ‘soil is. crumbling
right down into our. drinking
water reservoir because of the
logging from this clearcut.
Blowing down of trees along
the edges of clearcuts is a
common phenomena caused
by changes in wind dynamics.

1 encourage North Shore
residents . concerned — about

. logging, and ‘roadbuilding in.
. their watersheds to gel on one
of these ‘tours and sce. the

destruction. that has hap-
pened.
Your tour host: will ratio-

nalize the clearcuts as a pre--

vention ,to. forest. fires and
insect outbreaks, but ask them
what\has caused the loss of

4, 000 hectares of forest cover’

since 1960: logging or forest
fires?. Ask them where they
get. their paycheques from.

Then watch the spin doctors
go to work.

. Dear Editor: -

Inthe June 30 News (West Vancouver-
Guribaldi MLA) David Mitchell and [ were
quoted as criticizing Jeremy Dalton for not
voting on third reading of Bill 48 (Bubble

» Zones for Access to Abortion Services) and

Bill 26 (Criminal Record Checks to protect

* children),

Your article quoted Mr. Dalton as admit-
ting that he fled the House rather than vote
on third reading of Bill 48; however the arti-
cle stated that Mr, Dalton was simply out of

the House and would have supported Bill:

26.

Anyone with access to the internet can
now, at-the click of a mouse, actually check.
the official record (at
hup://bbs.qp.gov.bc.ca/legis/egis.hum).

- While Mr. Dalton missed those third reading votes on
June 27, and he did indeed vote in favor of Bill 26'in sec- ’
ond reading on June-21, an event even stranger than miss-

Repeal the ae

ing two votes also occurred on June 2,
Mr. Dalton moved that second reading ™:

not occur by introducing what is known as «~~.

one. of three possible hoist motions whose

4 purpose is to delay passage of legislation.”

f

On the recorded vote for Mr. Dalton’s -
stalling tactiv al! the Liberal caucus fled the’:

House except for Mr. Dalton and his House

Leader, Mr. Farrell-Collins.
With Mr. Dalton’s stalling, tactics. firmly::

defeated, his ‘ ‘caucus returned to the House.

and the. second reading of Bill 26 ‘passed
unanimously.

It appears | that Mr, Dalton is not the only.
Liberal who runs .away, but with the written’,
record so easily available on the Internet,:it
is worthwhile for all MLAs to remember .

that there’ s no place-to hide.”

Mr. Knight deplored the fact that

To put it briefly, Mr. Knight said he
