Contact city in support of community gem

To the editor:
We are concerned about a proposal that may come before Sanibel City Council on May 4. This proposal intends to ask the city council to shift dedicated funding from the Center for Life, at 2401 Library Way, to an alternate use, potentially upgrading Sanibel police office space.
We are not in favor of diverting the Center for Life monies from its original purpose.
The center is a vital Sanibel community in the heart of Sanibel. The center programming reflects population needs, and its reasonable cost allows for participant diversity. In consecutive city council needs assessments, the center has demonstrated that additional space was necessary and a worthwhile investment. Therefore, in 2019, the city council approved funding for an expansion. In the past two years, there has not been any change to the center’s needs that would substantiate diverting loan funding.

Variables in precipitation due to climate change - not rising temperatures - will have the greatest impact on B.C. s forests over the next 30 or 40 years, foresters heard at a gathering at TRU on Tuesday.
The annual winter workshop of the Southern Interior Silviculture Committee was described as a chance to review themes of the last decade, and climate change was a case in point.
Walt Klenner, wildlife habitat ecologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, was part of a panel grappling with the uncertain impacts of climatic change already well established. The debate on how to respond has been around for 40 years, he said.
