Newspaper Articles and Notices (excerpts from Goldstream News Gazette)
Cannabis allowed in campgrounds
Nicole Crescenzi, News Staff
Sleeping bag? Check. Camp stove? Check. Marijuana? Check.
Parks Canada announced that cannabis will be allowed at national parks and campgrounds across the country, with the caveat that provincial, territorial and municipal cannabis legislation will apply.
In B.C., cannabis consumption will be allowed in public-use areas, including day-use areas, as well as registered campsites, backcountry areas and trails. It will not be allowed within six metres of playgrounds and buildings, or in campground common areas such as kitchens, washrooms, trails or roads.
As far as any concerns for wildlife and nature, Parks Canada said standard rules apply.
“Visitor and wildlife safety is a top priority for Parks Canada. Parks Canada is focusing on communications, compliance, and enforcement to ensure wildlife in the park do not become food conditioned. We need the support of all our visitors, including consumers of cannabis, to ensure that wildlife attractants and human food do not get to wildlife,” Stephanie McGlashan, media relations officer for Parks Canada said in an email.
“Parks Canada is asking all park users to practice safe camping and picnicking practices, obey the camping and other national park’s regulations including keeping your dog on leash, keep food and garbage secure at all times, and also to report wildlife sightings immediately.”
While clarification was not provided as to whether cannabis should be treated with the same security as food, it might not be a bad idea to keep cannabis in a secure place from bears or other wildlife for people who decide to smoke and camp.

Columnist shares views with West Shore — The Rickter Scale
Rick Stiebel, The Rickter Scale
Welcome to my nightmares. Buckle up, folks, this could be a bumpy ride.
After three years with the Sooke News Mirror, the powers that be have lured my column to the Goldstream News Gazette. Following months of protracted but painless negotiations, publisher Michelle Cabana and editor Katherine Engqvist have grudgingly agreed that the Rickter Scale will run once a week, rain or whine.
Before you reach for a pen, pencil or crayon in horror or start pounding away on a keyboard in a frothing fit of fury, please be advised that the opinions unfurled in this space in no way reflect anything associated with Black Press.
My history as a reporter at the Gazette, on and off again since the turn of the century, has either provided an insight into the inner pulse of all things West Shorian, or, as some of my regular readers might argue, speaks volumes about the state of journalism in general and community newspapers in particular. You will get to be the judge as the Rickter Scale attempts to find its legs. What has kept me in the game so long is the opportunity to share stories about the people who make this neck of the landscape such an intriguing area to cover. One of the aims of this space is to include a ramble on what makes this area such a special place to live or ply your trade, based on the leads you fire our way.
Topics may range from a playful poke at the bride to my passion for sports, the blues or the occasional dump on Trump – basically, whatever moves me enough to cobble something together that’s at least worth the time you invest in reading it.
Cooking up an open-ended spread of topics is like putting together a menu with an endless variety of choices. You may not have a taste for everything I serve, but there should be something tasty enough to chew on to keep irregular diners coming back for seconds.
I’ve had the good fortune of working with a great string of editors who knew how to reel me in when my lines tangled, and I look forward to hearing your opinions on what you like or loathe. Feedback has ranged from “you suck” and “there’s five minutes of my life I’ll never get back” to the odd backhanded compliment. My son, Chris – I won’t use his last name to protect his identity – lists “there was absolutely nothing of any redeeming value in Rick Stiebel’s column” as his favourite first line in a recent letter to the editor.
If I had to describe my style on most things mainstream, it would be left leaning, with enough redneck mixed in to balance my proclivity for pinko-tainted prose. Add a liberal love of alliteration to the pallet and fasten your seat belts. Hope you enjoy the journey.

CRD issues warning tickets to rule-breaking cyclists
Shalu Mehta, News Staff
Watch those road signs carefully, cyclists, because rule-breakers could see a ticket in their hands in the near future.
On Thursday, Capital Regional District bylaw officers handed out 40 warning tickets to cyclists on the Galloping Goose Trail and Lochside Trail in Saanich for not stopping at intersections.
Officers were posted at intersections with crosswalks where drivers have complained about bicycles not stopping, said chief bylaw officer Don Brown.
Brown said the crosswalks are for pedestrian use. However, bicycles are considered to be vehicles and cannot be ridden across the crosswalk.
In addition, clearly marked stop signs for bicycles are placed at intersections, warning them to stop for passing vehicular traffic.
“Cyclists just blow right through these stop signs and people are slamming their brakes, putting people in danger of rear-ending the person in front of them,” Brown said.
Several verbal warnings had already been made to cyclists, said Brown, and that these warning tickets are the next step. If cyclists continue to ignore the stop signs, real tickets will be issued.
“If we see the same people again there will be penalty tickets,” Brown said.
Bylaw officers will be making their way to intersections on these trails again in the near future.
“It’s amazing to me there hasn’t been a serious accident,” Brown said. “You’re driving down the road and then all of a sudden, whoosh, a bicycle whizzes right in front of you.”
The main thing Brown wants cyclists to know is that the crosswalks are for pedestrians. If cyclists get off their bikes and walk across, then vehicles are obligated to stop, he said. Otherwise, bicycles have to obey the stop signs that are clearly marked on the trails.
