Opinion

I was pretty dismayed and disillusioned when I read one of this week's stories in The Chief relating how a visitor from Alberta rescued a stricken man who had stumbled and collapsed on Government Road on Sunday (July 17).

On Monday morning as I breezily walked into the Chief's office for the beginning of the workweek, said a few "good mornings," sat at my desk and began checking my email. The first one I opened was like a slap.

Briefs

Until recently federal politics have been foreign to me. Reading a headline was like stepping into a movie that has been playing forever.

With a single news release from Squamish New Directions (SND), we officially entered silly season this week. Ian Sutherland, Dave Fenn, Sonja Lebans, Ray Peters and Jeff Dawson all announced on the same day that they will run in the next election.

We live in a fantastic place. Here, we have access to all manner of recreational opportunities, from hiking and kayaking to mountain biking and climbing - and everything in between. We work, live and play on the cusp of nature and civilization.

I don't know about the rest of Squamish, but I came away from the Petzl Roc Trip climbing extravaganza feeling a bit, well, used.
