Slain activist King represented hope

Page 5

Tansi, ahnee and hello. When I was a boy the world was a place of voices. Long before my history became cemented with images and faces there was sound. In the early 1960s my world was a purely sonic place and the voices I recall so fondly at 37 resonate as clearly now as they did back then.

There were, of course, the Beatles. Curt Gowdy and Pee Wee Reese calling baseball, Foster Hewitt live from the gondola in Maple Leaf Gardens, Elvis, Aretha, Mr. Ed and Patsy Cline still reverberate throughout these long years too.

Discrimination may return under minister's plans

Picture this: You arrive at the only house within your price range that could adequately house five kids. Moments before, on the telephone, the landlord said the house was still available. The landlord takes one look at you and says the place has been taken.

If Community Development Minister Dianne Mirosh successfully implements her plans, the scenario just mentioned will return. As one of those five kids that was turned away, I do not want to return to those dark days.

LaChance inquiry should continue

Page 4

Self-proclaimed white supremacist Carney Nerland wants to have an inquiry into the judicial systems' handling of the shooting of Leo LaChance stopped. He says, through his lawyers, the investigation into the death of the Whitefish Cree trapper violates his rights and goes against Ottawa's exclusive power to try criminal matters.

We are not legal experts and cannot say if the current inquiry falls perfectly in line with Canadian law. However, it would be a shame to see its efforts vanish over technicalities.
