Cause of Smoggy Haze Crystal Clear: One Man's Opinion

By Ben Meisner

-by Ben Meisner

When you took a look out the window early Sunday it became blatantly obvious that all of those calls to have wood stoves and outdoor Bar-B-Que’s banned from the city ,was just so much window dressing on whose part I do not know. 

It had rained early Sunday, so the chance of anyone in this spring weather wanting to have a back yard burn would be small to none. 

Grammas could not carry the can for baking pies on a wood stove unless of course she was doing it in the back yard of the pulp mil. 

No sir, if you need any more convincing, look at the picture to see who the culprit was for the Sunday morning smog. 



Why in the world our city fathers must heap the blame on the rank and file and have them, “do their part “makes one wonder again if  there is an out of sight out of mind syndrome occurring at city hall, or if someone just happens to believe that the pulp mills and the other industry at the north east end of town don’t pollute. 

It was there for everyone to see this Sunday morning, however I may be preaching to the converted today, you know, the people who realize who has been to blame for the poor air quality that makes people sneeze and sniffle throughout the year. 

They know where the problem lies, unfortunately no one in authority seems to care. 

I’m Meisner and that is one man's opinion.
