| About Me |
I am the editor of the Clearwater-North Thompson Times in Clearwater, BC, Canada. In 2011 and 2014 the Canadian Community Newspaper Association awarded the Times first place for best all round newspaper in its circulation class. The Times has been a top three finalist nine times for General Excellence with BC and Yukon Community Newspaper Association in its circulation class during the 13 years I have been editor, and won first place in 2006, 2010 and 2014. My hobbies include hiking, cross-country skiing, and photography. |

| Wild Fact About Me |
Over a total of eight months in 1987 and 1989 I walked from Clearwater, BC to Toronto, ON, a distance of about 4,000 km. My walk was to have been a round-the-world pilgrimage to India and back to honor Mahatma Gandhi, but a foot injury forced a stop. |

I greatly admire the techniques Mahatma Gandhi used to gain India's independence. I believe that his philosophy is an important reason why India remained (and still is) a democracy when so many other former colonies fell into dictatorship. |
| What Gives Me Hope |
I believe that 90 percent of people 90 percent of the time are essentially good and want to do do good to others and the environment. |
| If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by |
The global carbon tax, as proposed in my petition on Care2, would be a major step towards controlling global warming plus increasing income equality around the world. |
