Whitewater Road kill: Ski town Development Proposal:
There should be no illusions that the currently proposed ski town for whitewater creek drainage will mean local extinction (extirpation) for mountain caribou, grizzly and other endangered species in the south Selkirk’s.
The owners and property speculators should consider building their condo town at the highway, skiing down with lifts back to wild heights. This would mitigate the negative ecological impact on wildlife and reduce the carbon foot print for servicing an elite alpine village in a number of obvious ways. It would also likely help sell the “village” as a true low impact ski resort.
We are lead to believe that skiing will end at Whitewater ski resort unless the new Alberta

We were graced last year with a Steve Poltz performance which left everyone speechless in awe. Lucky for us Steve loves to ski so we somehow managed to book 2 concerts this winter

this person also co-wrote the longest-running song on the Billboard Top 100, had a debut solo album that earned three and a half stars in Rolling Stone, and was awarded the title of “San Diego’s Most Influential Artist of the Decade” at the San Diego Music Awards. What you end up with is one of the most engaging, twisted, and prolific songwriters of our time - Steve Poltz.

"Cracker singer David Lowery once opined that the world needs another folk singer 'like I need a hole in the head.' He must not have known about Steve Poltz..." --The Baltimore Sun

Writing as practice
in the art of being fully human

Many people long to write, sometimes for their whole lives, and never take the plunge. I encourage anyone who feels the urge to write to jump right into the water. Writing is powerful medicine. It connects us with parts of ourselves that have been lost, hidden, shut away. It can be a form of guidance, deep learning, inquiry, prayer and transformation.


Tuition is a sliding scale: $125--$150. Pre-registration is required, with a $60 deposit.

or indirect death of at least 20 Grizzly. I would say basically kicking the south Selkirk Canadian/U.S. griz and caribou between the goal post of extinction.

Sinixt, Okanagan, Ktaxana, Shusawp, Metis, friends and relative is a responsibility to protect water,fish, creatures and flora against extinction. It is not taken lightly (by some) as their responsibility is a sacred trust with their ancestors.
The good folks from Alberta proposing the extirpation of the south Selkirk Mountain Caribou and Grizzly bear should come to a native sweat on the Slocan River with the extinct Indians. After all it was well meaning development that caused their apparent extinction. In all likelihood some kind of an arrangement can be made. Don’t believe everything the liberal bc ministry of tourism tells you. They don’t even like Grizzly bears or near extinct Canadian Indians.

This resort town will be the direct

owners are allowed to build a town in the alpine. This is extortion. On the one hand we are told it is a profitable ski hill, one of the few in BC, somehow we ordinary folk are supposed to ignore the very real possibility that their condo paradise could fail.
At the Whitewater open house I was informed they had not consulted with local Sinixt natives about this proposal but had or were about to consult with other native groups that lay claim to the apparent extinction of the Sinixt. My advice to our Alberta friends is to educate themselves about the BC treaty situation; it is very different than Alberta and could prove awkward. In legal reality native concerns regarding land claims should be considered. My sense from grassroots

There are moments in our lives when new possibilities arise. We don't know what to do, or where to go, but we are open to a new way of being, a basic sanity that we have touched before, but never fully opened to.

This is a training in learning to live from the Integrity of the Heart, this presence that is radiant, awake and completely undivided. We will be working together, learning how to see clearly and vividly what is and what is not working in our lives, and how we can truly participate in our own evolution.
