_ They’ re taking care of Roger

Dear Sir:

There have been quite
a number of responses to
a letter recently that was
critical of Roger Harris’ ap-
pointment to the position of
B.C.’s safety ombudsman.

Only Claudette’ Sandecki

"can take credit for that kind
of a reaction and she writes a

column and likely intends to
‘ bea bit provocative.

The quote about someone :

protesting too much started

me thinking.

‘I smiled when I heard the
Terrace city “council hired

_ Mr. Harris, as a consultant.

I guess the six out of seven
Liberal supporters on-coun-

cil.are not enough to com-.

‘municate with Victoria. .

I smiled when I'heard of .

his ‘appointment as safety
, ombudsman. I expected an
“appointment for Mr. Harris.

‘Writing’ columns for

’ The ‘Terrace Standard was

not going to be enough, but

_ The city must have other tasks
~ then to tackle chickens, ducks :

~ we’ve'ever laid our eyes upon..

_ Dear Sir:

When my | roommate and I carpooled to work recently,
he mentioned that our neighbours had been approached by

CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD.

I would have thought he

wouldn’t have been the most

qualified person in B.C. for
- this position.

Be that as it may, it is true
that patronage appointments
are by definition made by
government and so. Mr. El-
ton of the B.C. Forest Safety
Council, which employs Mr.

Harris, is correct.

“It.is a matter of record
that B.C. forest, companies
give substantial donations to

the B.C, Liberal Party. It is
. also a matter. of record. that
_ the B.C. Liberal government
has made changes, in for-

“For what?” I had asked, “Because of the chickens, ” he

‘had said,

The neighbours aren "t zoned you see, not for chickens, I.

learned.

Nor have they been for quite a few. years, perhaps for as
_long as the 30 years they’ ve had chickens and ducks.

This i is a couple so nice, so generous, so quiet. They wel-
-comed v us with open arms, open. minds, and the best eggs

- Did I mention so quiet? If they hadn’ t invited us over to
play with their recently hatched chicks and ducklings, to wit-

ness this beginning of life with our own eyes, I never would .

have guessed they had chickens.

Even living right :across the street, I have yet to here a

rooster “‘cock-a-doodle-doo”.

But, I digress, and wonder, when did the war on terrorism

finally end, and the war on small farms, and families with .
flock, begin? | ,
