Array LEGISLATIVE LIBRARY PARLIAMENT BUILDINOS VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA The Sunshine Published at Gibsons, B.C. 15* per copy on newsstands Serving the Sunshine Coast since 1945 August 8,1978 Volume 31, Number 32 Roberts Creek rumbling There has been a great deal of concern expressed this week over proposed developments and "improvements" in Roberts Creek. Noticing survey flags along Beach Avenue, a recently returned resident and sometime reporter for the Coast News went to interview the local superintendent of the Highways Department, Tucker Forsythe. He was informed that the existing right-of-way had been flagged with the intention of widening Beach Avenue to the Department's minimum standards which call for 22' of black top with three-foot shoulders at either side. Additional footage, perhaps two or three feet, is needed for ditching. Mr. Forsythe further stated that it was not planned to straighten any portions of Beach Avenue and thus there would be no need to expropriate any property. He also said that no more clearance than was absolutely necessary would be undertaken, and that every foot of the road would be judged on its own merit. In some places, sufficient clearance already exists. He did not foresee the need to fall any large trees. Asked as to when this project would start, Mr. Forsythe said that no date had been set, and that commencement next year was likely. He also said that the road developments had nothing to do with the Roberts Creek Settlement Plan, lt would appear, however, from Regional Board Chairman Harry Almond's commentary at the meeting of the Roberts Creek Community Association last Wednesday, August 2, that the local representatives of the Department of Highways are not insensitive to the wishes of the people who live in this area. After all, they live nearby too, and the desire to maintain the remaining rural aspects of Roberts Creek is not confined to its residents. A committee was struck at the Wednesday meeting of the Community Association to prepare a detailed brief for the Department on the matter of widening Beach Avenue, and this committee met on Friday night. Its co-ordinator, Steve Hodgson, was hoping to present the brief to the project foreman, Cec Chamberlain, on Saturday, but neither could be reached to find out whether or It seems that Chamberlain has been charged with the responsibility of ensuring that the work proceeds with the least possible inconvenience to the residents of Beach Avenue who for many years . have regarded it as more a local access road than part of a highways grid system controlled from Victoria. There are numerous fences and hedges which are on the road allowance and which presently safeguard the privacy of the residents on the property to which they are connected and, in addition, contribute to the rural aspect of Beach Avenue. A judicious choice in deciding how much to take from which side of the road allowance will be essential. It is also essential that clear lines of communication be established between the Department of Highways in Victoria and the Regional Board so the elected representative of Roberts Creek can inform the Department as to what the residents rather than the Victoria bureaucrats consider desirable for the area.

The resolution was made at a Regional Board meeting last February 2 following charges by Harrison that the District Works Department was trying to get involved in the area's water system in the Kleindale area on a "piecemeal basis". Once again, the troubled Wise subdivision on East Pender Bay was at the centre of the controversy. Developer Michael Wise originally made an arrangement with RegionalDistrict Works Superintendent Gordon Dixon to have the water system on his subdivision built and operated by the Regional District as the beginning of a larger public system serving the Kleindale area. However it turned out that Wise's property was within the jurisdiction of the South Pender Harbour Water District and the deal had to be scrubbed. Wise told the South Pender Water Board at the time that he would build and operate his own water system and turn it over to the South Pender water authority when convenient.

Sechelt Council supports Regional Board The Sechelt Council went on record that they would support the Regional Board in their efforts to protect the watershed areas on the Sunshine Coast from abuse. At the present time the Regional Board is applying to Victoria for letters patent, in order to officially assume control of the watersheds. This is mainly to halt B.C. Hydro from spraying placed.

He explained that while the Sechelt garbage collection was paid through taxes, he had made an arrangement with Mr. Cory for a $15 per month rental on a garbage container, for the convenience of his rentors. In doing so, he felt that he was in his taxes to balance this. Council felt that private deals between Pierce and Gory were their own concern and could not be subtracted from taxes. However, Alderman Leitner agreed to discuss it with Mr. Gory and report back. The Clerk, Tom Wood, reported that Mr. Brander of Glenmont Holdings assured him that the soil removed from the plans for the three-store complex as they were shown and suggested modifications to alleviate this. Mr. Jorgens, speaking on behalf of the Economic Study Program, said that so far, $2,500 had been committed from the Gibsons Chamber of Commerce and Council, plus between $5,000 and $7,500 had been suggested from the Regional Board. He requested that $2,500 be made available between the Sechelt Council and Chamber of Commerce. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee to determine whether funds are available. By-law 180, Zoning Amendment, was given final adoption. This will enable the work to go ahead on the expansion at the Trail Bay Shopping Center. The Sechelt Legion requested a donation towards the erection of a new cenotaph. A similar request was recently put before the Regional Board. Council referred this to the Finance Committee for consideration. Mr. Mitten of the Baptist Church asked for Council's permission to put the small building beside the church, adjacent to the library. Council turned down this request as they were against temporary buildings. Alderman Jorgensen felt that since the building had no toilet facilities, it could not be used while the church was closed, and also he thought that Council had already been lenient in their stipulations over the parking required for the church renovations.

There have been only five years in the last seventeen where the July rainfall was less than 25.4 mm or one inch. An apology to Gibsons was made by the Ministry of Health over the Dr. Bruce affair. In his letter the assistant Deputy Minister for Public Health Programs, Dr. K. Benson, stated that he had reprimanded Dr. .Laing, the director of the Coast Garibaldi Health Unit for the arbitrary decision to transfer staff positions to Sechelt rather than Gibsons as proposed by the Board, Final decision of the location of staff offices now in Powell River will be made by the Minister, the Honourable Robert McClelland when he reviews the Board of Health's resolutions and the representations from other agencies throughout the Coast Garibaldi Health Unit. The Board has recently confirmed its decision to request the re-locating of staff offices to a central area, specifically Gibsons, where the Council has offered accomodations by means of a proposed extension to the present health building. The Gibsons Fire Department, replying to a request for input to the village program to upgrade water service, listed a number of requirements for adequate fire protection. For one, a hydrant in the neighbourhood of the new apartment building, the Executive Suite, along with improvements to the access road and the parking area.

Thc Elphinstone Pioneer Museum Society sent a letter of thanks for a four-hundred dollar contribution which will be used lo help complete a photographic display. This display should be completed by the end of July, thc letter stated. At present thc museum is open five days a week under work program for secondary school students, and on Saturdays with members in charge. Besides the artifacts collection begun by Les Peterson, there is a current display of mounted owls. A message from the School Board stated their intention to rent the pool on each instructional day from September 25 to December 1 on the same terms used in the spring session. The Heritage Conservation Branch of the Ministry of Recreation and Conservation wishes to add to its inventory of designated heritage buildings and sites any that have been recently earmarked by council. The matter of heritage buildings has been exam ined in Gibsons in previous years but in view of feasibility and expense, none has been earmarked for this purpose. With the position of municipal accountant vacant for some months since the departure of Lois Beard, the Village has found a replacement and has appointed Mrs. Edith Ford, a recent arrival from Port Hardy. It arose again at a meeting of the Regional Board's Public Utilities Committee May 20 when Mr. Wise announced he had changed his position and once more wanted the water system on his subdivision taken over by the Regional District. -Harrison opposed the request stating that his Advisory Planning Committee was still against Regional involvement in Pender Harbour water supply at thc present time. He reminded thc Board of its February 2 resolution that it would respect the wishes of the area's representatives in the matter. Wise then appeared at the August 3 Board meeting and repeated his plea for reconsideration on the basis that building the water system himself had severely strained his finances and hc was in danger of losing his subdivision. Area B Director Ed Nicholson, who was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Peter Hoemberg's resignation and was not on the Board when the February 2 resolution was made, was sufficiently impressed by Wise's pleading that he moved the resolution be rescinded. The Board then accepted a compromise motion from Harrison that it offer financial aid to the South Pender Water Board to assist Wise rather than becoming directly involved. Indications are, however, that this will not settle the matter. A spokesman for the South Pender Board told Harrison that although he sympathized with Wise's problems, he didn't feci it was a responsibility of the water board to bail out troubled land developers with taxpayers' money. Members of the Area A A.P.C. expressed the same feeling, arthur Joss said that he was "absolutely against" subsi dizing Wise, and Jim Tyner pointed out that any action to use public money to help Wise complete his water system would set a dangerous precedent. Howard White said that there were many real estate developments experiencing difficult times with the curreny depressed market, and the taxpayers couldn't afford to bail them all out. He was especially concerned about what he saw as the Regional Board's "challenge to thc autonomy of Area A". "Thc Regional Board never seems to get the message. It's tested Area A people on thc issue of autonomy again and again and they know we won't put up with being ruled from outside. They found out about this before and they'll find out again." McDermott makes it John McDermott did not break the record of nine hours and twenty minutes for the swim between Nanaimo,and Sechelt, but he gave a triumphant shout as he emerged from the water at 11:20 p.m. on Saturday night, after fourteen hours and twenty minutes in the water. Strong currents carried him seven miles off course; he landed at Sargents Bay instead of Mission Point as planned. Only one person who was on shore to greet him when he emerged from the water. He was accompanied by two row-boats, plus Gordie Hall of Sechelt in a power boat.

BLUE RIBBON AWARD School Board Last week an oversight and lack of space combined to keep from the pages of the Coast News a letter from School Board Secretary-Treasurer Roy Mills objecting to the use made of the agenda forwarded by the School Board to the newspapers in advance of School Board meetings. That such agendas were considered privileged information had not been made clear in the past but if Mr. Mills so believed them then we apologize for use of information before he considered it desirable and for failing to get his letter into last week's paper. With that said, however, it would seem also fair to say that all is not frank and above board in some of the recent per sonnel movements which are taking place in this school district. Some recent personnel matters have left the impression that this School Board is beginning to believe that thc less the public knows what is going on in its decision-making about personnel the better. Diplomacy stands always in danger of becoming deception and deccipt, as Shakespeare pointed out, is the beginning of a very tangled web. lt is to be hoped that, in the name of diplomacy, the School Board is not concealing more about its decision making from us than it should. It is after all public funds that they play with. About that dinner One can only regret the bad press afforded the members of the Regional Board and the Gibsons and Sechelt Councils as the aftermath of a joint dinner held at Casa Martinez recently. With the governmental set-up that prevails on the Sunshine Coast it is of maximum importance that the various bodies develop congenial relationships and a meal together seems a civilized way to approach the matter. When one contemplates the governmental scene in this country one finds federal members of parliament voting themselves massive pensions after very brief service. We find party hacks of no particular ment being appointed to lifelong huge salaries in the Senate. On the provincial scene we have a government with a hefty representation of millionaires in the Cabinet voting to ease the lot of millionaires whilst doubling transportation rates and insurance costs for Highways It has been a consistent editorial policy of this newspaper to speak in favour of as much control of local affairs as is attainable at the local level. Local government is human and marred by imperfection but at least it is conducted by people who live in the area and have the opportunity of first hand awareness of the region and the issues. It seems to us that the farther away the seat of government is from the governed the less responsive the government. So it is we have consistently supported the Regional Board concept, with the feeling that at least we could contact the people directly who were making decis-. ions which were affecting us. One area of considerable local import which seems relatively immune from local control is the Department of Highways. It seems that mysterious decisions are made somewhere and the first that residents know about them is when the machines arrive to do whatever is deemed to be the most recent form of progress. What brings this to mind, of course, are the decisions arrived at by the . .from the files of Coast News ferns the rest of us. And all this taking place without a peep of comment from the local press. And yet one dinner at a local restaurant brings down some considerable criticism on our local governmental representatives. It bears saying that the people who run for local office commit a great deal of time to the service of the community with very little in the way of remuneration compared to their counterparts at the more grandiose levels 'of government. This does not make them above criticism but unless that criticism makes an attempt to be fair and confined to matters of some import for the Sunshine Coast then we stand in danger of inhibiting or discouraging selfless public service. The Coast News felt when the dinner in question was being planned that it was a valid exercise in inter-jurisdicional diplomacy on the local scene. These views are unchanged. Department a few weeks ago to widen a picturesque and obscure beach access road in Roberts Creek followed by an apparent decision to widen Beach Avenue. In the case of the Beach Avenue widening, it may be that the change will be minimal and that safety and the law demands it. This, however, does not mean that what is happening around us should not be discussed and win the approval of locally-elected community leaders. That our highways and by-ways should be re-arranged at the whim of some bureaucrat living elsewhere with nothing but rule books and blueprints to guide him seems an unacceptable anomaly. We fight furiously among ourselves for local control of such things as water, deeming such matters to be of maximum importance in determining the future of the place we live in, and yet are not highways of equal import in this determination although we seem to accept meekly outside control in the latter case. Perhaps it is something we should be thinking about. 5 YEARS AGO The 1973 Sea Cavalcade surpassed all previous cavalcades from the opening war of Pirate Ships to the final trophy presentations Sunday night. Janet Clayton, twelve year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Clayton of Sechelt, has received word of her successful passing with Honours of her Grade Six Royal Conservatory of Music piano examination. 10 YEARS AGO The Garden Bay Whale station of the Vancouver Public Aquarium was officially opened.

The government wharf, to right of the approach seen here, was disman tled. The federal Fisheries office was removed. But Irvines Landing is made of a stuff that does not acknowledge defeat.

Peterson ���:.^mam Musings John Burnside Slings & Arrows George Matthews For my money there's nothing like a log cabin in the Yukon for getting away from it all. For two weeks without newspaper and without radio we found it impossible to keep track of Africa's struggle to escape from the dying clasp of imperialism, the torturous and dangerous chess match between the Arabs and the Jews in the Middle East, the fortunes of the B.C. Lions and the Vancouver Whitecaps, and, yes, the tempests of the Sunshine Coast teapot too. And all the better for it. All good things must come to an end, however, and this weekend finds us back at the same old stand addressing ourselves to the happenings of our little sun-kissed piece of paradise. I would acknowledge gratefully the efforts of the gallant staff of the Coast News and my friend George Matthews in particular for making my absense inconsequential. Thc re-orientation process has not thus far been painful. I started with the sports pages, gleaning what I could of the exploits of our local professional sports teams during my absense. Then some cursory skimming of the front pages assured mc that much is as it was on thc national and international news fronts. On the national front Trudeau and Joe Who continue their rather predictable and uninteresting minuet around thc Prime Minister's office. Clark meets in secret to discuss economic problems. Trudeau. besides offering to reconstruct thc constitution lor us all announces himself fed up with the Post Office. I hope it occurred to someone in thc Post Office to send him a letter making clear that they were fed up with him too. And then to the affairs of the Sunshine Coast. The government in Victoria says it mustn't bc questioned in its dispensation of pub licenses and possible legal action will bc taken if anyone even thinks that their procedures weren't entirely above board and just. HMMM! The battle between thc David of the Regional Board and the Goliath of B. C. Hydro continues on its two fronts of herbicide spraying ��� excuse me, a new word has entered this particular game. It has become fashionable to refer to the distribution of poisonous chemicals as "sccd- ing"since I was last on thc scene. It Is, I am sure, a change which will have us all sleeping peacefully in our beds at night. There's something so reassuring about "seeding", isn't there? It is a word that connotes future growth and hope for tomorrow and absolutely no one can take offence. Much better than "spraying" for , example, which immediately,, calls, to mind visions of offensive and unneutered tomcats. The Department of Highways is at it again. One would almost think that whoever is in charge of planning the future activities of this headstrong and uncontrolled branch of the people's service lies awake at nights wondering just where the charm of the area can be most profoundly assaulted. Letters to the editor this week and this bemused editor himself are wondering who wants Beach Avenue widened. There have been mutterings about the Department of Highways undertaking projects just to make sure their budget for the year is spent and therefore will not be reduced in subsequent years but even with this to guide us into the unpredictable forays of the virtually autonomous department one is teminded that Highway 101 has been partially renovated for some years now and then left in all its serpentine splendour from thc Jolly Roger to Earls Cove. Why can't the ever-busy Department confine itself to improving the highways and leave the picturesque sidcroads alone? But that editor fellow wants to say something about this and who is a poor columnist to argue. And, home would not bc home without a letter to the editor breathing fire from Mr. Lee. As usual, thc good man has a very valid point to make and some views well-worth considering though laconic hc is not. Here again the editor has over-ruled me and wants to have his two cents' worth on this subject. Nor are we yet finished. To the list of the provincial government and its pub licensing, the Hydro determination to do it their way, the determined assaults on the environment by the Department of Highways and on representatives of local government by other sources, we have still more. We return from our sabbatical to find a ground swell of opposition to the new' marina in Gibsons harbour. That will command some attention. And if that were not enough we have the School Board getting into thc picture with some controversial staff movement! cloaked in mystery and taking umbrage with the papers because the story was broken from the agenda before the trustees had time to come to their conclusions. It's almost as if there was some worry that the good trustees should be seen to be rubber-stamping decisions already made. In any case recent staff happenings on our school board lend the impression that beneath the velvet glove of sweet rea- sonability there is some considerable administrative iron. Styles of superintendents may differ but autocracy remains autocracy, apparently. In any case the log cabin on the side of Bonanza Creek has become a memory and the foregoing will keep us interested and involved in the coming weeks. It's almost as if I'd never been away ��� but not quite. It's good to be A couple of years ago I made a terrible and terrifying discovery about myself. It was a discovery so disgusting and so humiliating that only now do I dare utter it in public.

I'm not sure exactly what thc addictive quality of work is; god knows it's not the money.

Congratulations to all of your staff. J.K.Kidd, Secretary-General, Intcrnation Council for Adult Education In reply Editor: This is a reply to the letters from Mrs. Cumming who has expressed criticism of the operation of the Mini Bus. When the Community Resource Society instituted the service of the Bus, a list of regulations and priorities was drawn up and published which has of course, been amended from time to time. The Society was very careful at the outset to make the public aware that the Mini Bus was not a taxi service that could be summoned on short notice, nor is it an emergency service. To serve the maximum number of clients, specific runs had to be established and the bus users became familiar with them. One other regulation stipulated that any user, apart from regularly scheduled ones, had to make a request for bus service at least thc day before. Unfortunately, Mrs. Cumming requested at 8:30 in the morning that the Bus carry her and her husband, the latter in a wheelchair, to the hospital that afternoon. Susan Bunyan, the driver, explained to Mrs. Cumming that the afternoon run was fully booked, but they could be accomodated that morning. This was not acceptable to Mrs. Cumming. In regard to the statement that Susan is quoted as saying, "The seats cannot be removed," is only a part of her statement as Susan did add, "when the bus is already fully booked". Officials of the Sunshine Coast Community Resource Society have met concerning this matter and have expressed confidence in Slings (cont'd) in every job I've ever done. No, it's just that I love it- getting up in the morning, brown-bagging it, quitting time, the beer after work, the work mates, the lifting and pulling and sweating, I just can't leave it alone like some fellows are with liquor or women. I believe in moderation in all things except for work. Give me a job, no two, three jobs and I'm happy as a clam. That's my sad tale, friends. Now you have had a glimpse of my shame and fallen ways, you can take the warning. Never work too much, never teach your kids to work too much, and for heaven's sake, don't begin to enjoy it. The day you get up and look forward to going to work, quit, take a vacation, phone in sick, but don't take that fatal step. In the meantime if you have some work to be done���in the evening or weekends���give me a call. CLEARANCE Susan's ability to drive the Bus and to maintain good relationships with the persons served. Jack MacLeod, Public Relations Officer, Sunshine Coast Community Resource Society Correction Editor: I hope you will allow me three or four column inches to point out one error and an omission with regard to articles which 1 wrote for last week's newspaper. These may have been the result of typographical mistakes or oversight, perhaps, on the part of your guest editor who must be among the busiest people on the Sunshine Coast. I seldom slip into solecisms, and the one in the review of the chamber music was not mine: "She is more a mezzo-soprano repertoire." This construction does not make sense. I referred to the evening's soprano, Carol Challans, whom I described as more a mezzo-soprano than a soprano, and I suggested that she concentrate on the mezzo-soprano repertoire. The word "facetiously" was omitted from a part of my report on the School Board meeting with the result that it appears that Trustee Frizzell seriously regards Davis Bay, with a population of about 2,000, as more a population centre than is Sechelt with nine hundred. Davis Bay is, of course, unincorporated, and Tim's remark was made, 1 believe, in jest. In any case, that was how I intended to report it. I would like to conclude by commending your guest editor, George Matthews, for a splendid performance during the absense of the regular editor who was away on vacation for the past three weeks. George is also working full-time as a boom man, directing an Eric Nicol play which is in an advanced stage of rehearsal and, from time to time, attending to the demands of his three young children. How do you do it, George? Allan J. Crane CLASSIFIED NOTE Drop off your Coast News Classifieds al Campbell's Family Shoes * Leather Goods In down-town Sechell. Widening Editor: Who wants Beach Avenue in Roberts Creek widened? Nobody we've talked to, and we've talked to a lot of fellow Beach Avenue property owners���young, old, and middle-aged. About fifty Roberts Creek residents signed a petition at the Creek store in little over a day and a half's time, saying they do not want their famous old hedge and tree-lined road widened and straightened, as the Highways Department wants to do. The Roberts Creek Community Association held a meeting on the issue last Wednesday night, and one person after another said that the Highways project will destroy the looks and nature of the winding waterfront roadway that "makes" Roberts Creek. Dozens of people reportedly also pointed out that a wider roadway and shoulders will enable the "Speed Demons" to drive even faster���encourage them, in fact. This, on a roadway a lot of people walk along, bicycle along and even horseride along, many of them kids and seniors. One Highways worker told me the plan is for wide shoulders (three feet on either side, plus twenty-two feet of blacktop), a total twenty-eight-foot roadway width, as against the eighteen- to twenty-foot width now. On top of that, there will be a ditch on one ��lMa��Maa*|.|.'.l'.la.li;j1 MtlM ��Mm Una* |.ff.B.la.'.'Jll��*aaal>ia��^ I Radio /haek authorized Sales Cenlre Reg. 159.95 m Auto Cassette Stereo Cassette player and AM FM stereo radio Has deluie features and a versatile design which makes custom- mounting easy���in or under dash Control shahs spacing adtusls Irom 5-5 8 lo 6-9 32 FM local drslance switch gels ophmuir. reception ol shong stations LEO lape and stereo ndicalors-conveniences you it appreciate 2-9 16��7-3 8 a M 2" Complete wilh instruchons speaker cables and mounting hardware 12-1836 side or other. There is a ditch now, but judging by what Highways has just finished doing to Flume Road and Park Avenue, the new ditches will be much wider. Highways talks about "dangerous curves" but the curves are only dangerous for drivers who take them too fast; instead of ripping up Beach Avenue, government should police/enforce the fifty-kilometre (thirty mph) speed limit. Highways Department manager Tucker Forsyth is aware of the fifty-signature petition against widening Beach Avenue, according to his secretary, and no doubt he is very much aware of the official Roberts Creek Settlement Plan in which the residents stress they want their community kept rural in looks and pace. The Highways spokesman said at Wednesday night's public meeting they will "negotiate" with individual property owners who want to save trees on their frontages from destruction. "Negotiate" presumably means, "If it fits in with our project, we'll leave your trees." Highways, going by conversations with their people, apparently feel that the sixty-six foot road right-of-way is their land. It is not ���it is public land, and if the majority of the public living on and using this local residential road would rather see it lined with greenery, trees and hedges, and kept narrow also to restrain speeders, then in a democracy, their wishes should prevail. But, at time of writing (Friday, August 4), the Highways crew have already started their steam- shovel carnage on Beach Avenue, opposite the picnic beach. Do fifty property owners have no say at all?

Aug. 9,10,11,12 Coast News, August 8,1978 Craddock's Slough Put 111 The boat returns, bringing more grub for Lee Ching to mishandle and our new engineer. Craddock must have dragged the very gutters of Rupert for this character. He's a scrawny, bald, terminally-dishevelled, hatchet- faced man called Jim Christie who's been on a nonstop drunk for months. He gazes disorientedly around and begs thc way to the nearest bunk. Unfortunately, the bunk he chooses happens to be in the same shack where I'm stay- inj;. There he commences to howl and moan his horrors loose for the next four days. It's a flatout nightmare not only for him. He's worse than a junkie kicking a kingsize habit. It's like living in a bug- ward. Wild rantings and protestations jolt us awake in the small hours. Craddock runs machine in the meantime. "Good man," he says,"once he gets the booze out of him." That's all very well for him to say. He's got his own cabin. We have to suffer the snakes along with Christie. Common indignation forges a brief rapport between us. Who needs this dreadful madman? He should be in a sanitarium. We want to strangle the noisy bastard. But on the fifth day, his demons leave him. He pulls on his gear like nothing had happened and comes out to the woods with us. By God, Craddock's right! He's a crackerjack engineer. Things run a normal course for a bit. There's even a spell of dry sunny weather that in- Pages from a Life-Log Peter Trower tensifies the rotten stench from the tide-flat but otherwise renders things a degree more tolerable. Jim Christie proves to be a sociable guy with a wry, self-deprecating wit. Once or twice, we get talking. He tells me sometimes hilarious ��� sometimes horrific stories of his drunken escapades. Then thc machine breaks down. It'll take a couple of days to get parts so the crew, with thc exception of Christie, Lee Ching, the catskinner and his wife and myself, head into Rupert to get beered-up. I've no desire to drink with any of that surly lot and Jean needs someone to set chokers for him behind the cat. Christie has various monkeywrenching chores to do. It's the first chance I've had to get acquainted with Dupree. He and Mary keep pretty much to themselves. He's a small dark man with a hook nose and a heavy accent, somewhat excitable but much better to work for than the abusive Stockton. Setting the feather-weight cat-chokers is easy enough. We hit it off well. "You come up to the cabin tonight," he invites at the end of the second day. "Meet my old woman. She likes to read too. Maybe she got some books you haven't seen." That evening, feeling rather privileged, I head up the riverside trail to their tiny DATSUN COQUITMM CENTRE DMSUNLTD. E.E.(Mickey)Coe RES: 271-0r:.6 2780-2786 Barnet Highway Telephone Coquitlam, B.C.V3B1B9 464-9611/12 cabin. They've never encouraged anyone to visit them before and considering the disagreeable nature of most of the others, I certainly can't blame them. The shack perches precariously on the mossy creekbank. Jean, as he's informed me not without a certain pride, built it himself when he first came to Craddock's Slough. He's obviously a better catskinner than a carpenter���the whole thing looks oddly lopsided. But it doesn't leak and Mary keeps its single room neat as a pin. Mary bears a marked physical resemblence to Jean. They could easily be brother and sister. They're both dark, small and nothing to write home about for looks but seem ideally suited to each other. "Left a husband and three kids to go with this crazy pea-souper, "she informs me with a frank chuckle. Jean makes some fond rejoinder. It's refreshing to be with contented people. They're like Darby and Joan, happy with themselves and their jerry- built shanty in this shadowy, dismal wilderness. Jean produces a bottle of whiskey. We proceed to get comfortably drunk. I ask them where their dog is. "What dog?" they exclaim puzzledly. "You don't have a dog?" On several occasions, I've seen what appeared to be a large grey hound prowling through the brush. Since there are no animals around the camp apart from an unfriendly and flea-ridden cookhouse cat, I've always as-' sumed it belonged to Jean. Understanding comes over the French Canadian's swarthy face. "Must be a wolf you see," he informs me. "Oh yeah," I say with some embarrassment at my ignorance and a twinge of appre hension. A wolf! I keep forgetting how far north and deep in the boondocks we actually are. Soon the three of us are feeling no pain from the liquor. Jean begins to talk about Craddock. "That man is so tight he squeak. Everything in this camp is secondhand. He buy all his equipment at the auction. Best you keep your eyes open around those lines." "Ah, I'm safe enough blowing whistles," I say nonchalantly. We leave the subject of Craddock's skinflintedness and move on to more pleasant topics. Finally, the whiskey is gone and it's time to leave. Mary presents me with a box of pocket-books she's finished reading. It's a much better selection than the trash that's lying around the bunkhouse��� The Grapes of Wrath. I feel like a man who's just struck gold and thank her profusely. Then I take my leave and proceed nervously down the pitch-black trail with my books and a borrowed flashlight. Jean has assured me that wolves never attack human beings unless they're starving but I figure there's always a first time. I end up scaring the hell out of myself and running drunkenly back to camp through that suddenly sinister forest like a panicky kid. Next day, the rest of the crew returns, grumbling and hungover. The brief holiday hasn't sweetened their dispositions a damn bit. The replacement-parts are installed and the donkey coaxed back to life. We start yarding and I'm obliged to resume my lowly whistle-punk's > role. It'd be a soft touch except for Stockton's big mouth and the bad weather. For the rains have returned with a vengeance. I bury myself in books and contrive to shut it all out. On weekends, when the bunkhouse gets too oppressive, I retreat up the trail to visit NOW AVAILABLE MORTGAGE MONEY No penalty for prepayment in part or in whole.

House Calls is the name of the film which will play Wednesday through Saturday, August 9-12, and it features three Academy Award winners in Glenda Jackson, Walter Matthau, and Art Carney. Sunday through Tuesday, August 13-15, the film is Julia starring acting notable Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave with support from such as Jason Ro- bards and Hal Holbrook. In House Calls, the medical profession gets a jaundiced appraisal. This engaging comedy is consistently amusing Jean and Mary in their friendly cabin. The others are suspicious: "Jesus, the punk must have something going with Dupree's woman. "I ignore them. I'm not quite bushed enough yet to look on Mary as a sex-object but they don't know that. Let them think what they want. The following boat-day, Carver makes the run alone. He and Craddock work on the boom between supply-junkets. I'm looking forward to Les's return as I'm expecting a letter or two from the outside world. But next evening rolls around with no trace of boat or boatman. He doesn't show up the next day either. Craddock begins to fume and curl around the edges. He gets on the radio-phone to .Rupert. Carver apparently picked up the groceries and left on schedule, the previous morning. Craddock reports the missing vessel. Maybe Carver's broken down someplace. It's a goddamn mystery. and often quite funny. Walter Matthau portrays a skilled surgeon who becomes an instant middle-aged Romeo following his wife's death while opposite him is Glenda Jackson who shines as a divorcee who's looking for more than a one-shot relationship. Art Carney scores solidly as the possible senile yet ultimately devious chief surgeon. Noted American playwright Lillian Hellman's book Penllmcnto was the source of Alvin Sargeant's screenplay forJulla. The Julia of the title is portrayed in the film by Vanessa Redgrave. She was playwright Hellman's best friend and one for whom the author faced personal danger in the days before the Second World War. Jane Fonda portrays Lillian Hellman and is seen as a courier bringing money into Berlin to aid the escape of political and religious refugees from Nazi Germany just prior to the outbreak of the war. Her friend Julia is part of the anti-fascist underground in Germany. Both of the film's stars give performances which have drawn much praise from the critics and in addition Julia qualifies as that rare production which relies for love for a friend rather than sexual love as its story basis. Jason Ro- bards is excellent as Dashiell Hammett and the Panavision- DeLuxe colour film has an air of Thirties elegance. It was filmed in France and Enland. Week Commencing: August 7. General Notes: A very helpful Moon-Venus-Mars conjunction in Libra promises a week of optimism and good feelings. Now's the time to solve long-term disputes by negotiating fairly and diplomatically with the opposition. Babies born this week will be very idealistic. Their minds will be shrewd and analytical. They will show a flare for diplomacy and enjoy settling other people's differences. Many will eventually organize and manage ambitious ventures. Brave lovers exchanging marriage vows at this time will be glad they did. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Relationsips, partnerships, marriages, agreements with loved ones and close associates now develop more favourably. Idealistic romances get green light. Sign that contract. Meet people. Ask favours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Employment and health matters improve. You're more popular on the work scene as negotiations with co-workers begin to produce results. Medical enquiries bring much needed reassurances. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Social life, romance, love affairs, risks and speculation bring contentment. It's time to go out and have fun. Children's activities enhance personal pleasures and amusements. Fresh, creative energy motivates artists or crafts- persons. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Accent is on domestic bliss. Happiness is simply being at home with those you love. Now's the time to remodel, redecorate, or beautify your living space. Real estate deals arc worthwhile. Discussions and arrangements are reassuring. LEO (July 23-August 22) Correspondence, phone calls and messages are sources of inner satisfaction. Short journeys or local visits initiate pleasant involvements and lasting friendships. Disputes involving brothers, sisters, or neighbours can now be settled amicably. VIRGO (August 23-Sept. 22) Focus is on money and possessions. Be aware of urge to overspend on expensive items or articles of beauty. Follow up opportunities to increase financial flow. Remember that popularity is seldom bought. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Moon, Venus. Mars, and Pluto in your sign bestow charm, popularity, sex-appeal, and extra energy. Others find you irresistible. It's your turn to splurge on new clothes, adornments, and hairstyles. Vibrant personality gets you what you've dreamed about. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Happiness is found in seclusion, behind thc scenes, sharing secrets with friends or lovers. It's a favourable time to start private ventures, investigations, or enquiries. Clandestine love affairs or elopements figure strongly. Show sympathy to those trapped or in confinement. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Involvement with friends, acquaintances, group projects, or community affairs arc sources of rewards and contentment. Long- range plans, hopes, and wishes now appear within your reach. Dealings with strangers will produce results. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jsn. 19) Reputation, public standing, and career plans receive much needed boost to diplomatic discussions and determination to succeed. Authority figures find you extra convincing, so push recent achievements with more confidence. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Good feelings arc linked to long-distance communications and affairs far away. It's a favourable time to take extended trips or journeys to foreign lands. Those planning higher education courses or skills-improvement programs should send necessary paperwork now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Other people's money or possessions are the sources of favourable conditions. Now's the time to beg, borrow, or ask for the return of long-overdue loans and equipment. Insurance or joint- finance matters yield dividends.

I could say "was", since he entered the past tense in 1940, but it's considered polite to speak of wTiters as though they were as long-lived as their works. (That's immortality for you.) Anyway, you might have guessed that he is a Russian, but he is certainly not as well- known to Westerners as a lot of Russian authors. Even in his own country his reputation rests not on the monumental and often tortuous novels Russia seems to inspire her writers to produce, but rather on his lengthy career in the theatre. I first heard of Bulgakov at a party where a friend of mine dragged me aside and began telling me about this fantastic- novel he was reading whose characters included two lovers, members of Massolit, thc Soviet Union's official literary guild, Pontius Pilate, Jesus Christ, the Devil, and a black cat the size of a pig who walked on its hind legs, drank vodka, smoked cigars, and was a crack shot with a Mauser automatic. It all sounded so bizzare that I dismissed the whole conversation as incipient delerium tremens and forgot about it until thc next time we met, under more sober circumstances, and he dropped the book into my lap. I looked at the title: The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov. "Never heard of it or him," I said skeptically. I had a lot of reading to do for university courses and very little spare time. "I'm lending it explains that he has missed thc point: it is not Christ's divinity which should have been the target of attack, but rather His very existence. At this moment they are joined by an eccentric professor who intrudes on their conversation, which he finds vastly amusing, and who proceeds to shatter their materialist complacency with demonstrations of uncanny powers. He predicts the editor's death by decapitation at the hands of a girl, a remote likelihood, it seems, and holds both men spellbound with a tale of Christ's interview with Pilate, which he verified simply by saying, "I was there." The professor, of course, is the Devil himself and his appearance sets off a chain of unsettling and, to the reader, hilarious events in the Soviet capital where supernatural beings and happenings are not officially recognized. Escaping from the mysterious stranger, the editor is duly beheaded when he falls under a tram driven by a young woman. The eminent poet, who tries to pursue the professor, appears after a supernatural chase across Moscow, at the posh restaurant-headquarters of Massolit, carrying a candle and clad only in long-Johns, and a peasant shirt with a paper ikon pinned to the front. Following a brief riot, precipitated by his insistence that the Devil is on the premises, he is subdued and removed to an insane asylum. By the time the professor and his entourage are through with Moscow, the poet has plenty of company, the police have thrown up their hands in despair, and the supernatural antics have brought out the worst in just Caught up in the madness are The Mas ter, a philosopher who has devoted himself to writing a rein- terpretation of the crucifixion of Christ, and Margarita, whose illicit love affair with The Master ultimately ends in tragedy for them both and for the precious book. Yet at the end, the Devil's triumph is hollow and he bows to The Master's spiritual power and to Margarita's selfless love. The style of the writing varies appropriately, from the bizarre comedy of the Devil wreaking havoc on the Russian capitol, to the love story of The Master and Margarita, and the fascinating excerpts from The Master's book which form a part of the novel, but throughout Bulgakov's prose is a vindication of the last ten years of his life, which hc spent working on The Master and Margarita, and of his long apprenticeship as a journalist and playwright. His writing has been described as "fantastic realism", a term applied to a number of other modern writiers, Franz Kafka most notably, to describe their talent for relating bizarre events with a deadpan, journalistic delivery. Fantastic realism has enjoyed popularity among Soviet writers chiefly as a method of satirical protest against a government not noted for its appreciation of criticism. Obviously there is powerful satire in The Master and Margarita. The Moscow literary estab lishment, an appalling bureaucracy of snobs and sycophants, takes a savage pounding, as do the civil authorities. Despite his long and successful career in the theatre. Bulgakov was perpetually in hot water because his writings offended the political sensibilities of the censors, lt is perhaps interesting to note that The Master and Margarita has been published in Russia, almost thirty years after the death of the author, What is even more interesting is that thc magazines in which the installments of the novel appeared were sold out so quickly that public readings had to bc held in response to popular demand. The navel is available hi this country in hardback (Collins & Harvill Press) and in several paperback editions, the best by Penguin Classics with the usual excellent introduction. One of Bulgakov's early works. The Hear of a Dog, is also available in a good paperback from Harcourt, Brace & World. Written in 1925. it is a political "beast-fable", not unlike Orwell's Animal Farm, and though it is every bit as polished as his later work, it is narrower in scope. A brilliant doctor adopts a stray dog from thc Moscow gutters and by ingenious methods transforms it into a human being. The allegory is obvious and scathing; thc Russian proletariat, after centuries of having been treated, literally, as dogs, are transformed by a radical experiment into responsible human beings. The dog. taking the name Poligraph Poligrapho- vich, soon becomes a petty bureaucrat in the Moscow Sanitation Department, Commissar in charge of the elimination of vagrant quadrupeds (cats). He comes to exemplify the worst aspects of an ignorant, insensitive proletariat; he is boorish, tyrannically cruel, and totally self-interested. In Come cry with me By Ann Napier Write Box 3, c/o Coast News Dear Ann: 1 cannot afford to travel. All my friends are taking these exotic trips, and 1 feel so envious when they come back with their tales and coloured slides. Am I being a poor friend? I feel guilty but left out. Deprived Dear Deprived: This time of year we are in the most beautiful of spots. The beach is lovely, and thc water warm. Our trips on thc ferry have Disneyland put to shame. The wildlife is great. Many of my friends see bears and deer; I see racoons and eagles and feel priveleged to do so. This week I found a little green frog living in a large yellow Dahlia in the greenhouse. Every time 1 water, I look for him, and feel such great pleasure at this small, dazzling world. Proust and Thoreau wrote of the adventures in their small worlds around them. There is ever a delightful surprise in every day, if you are aware. Gct a microscope and look at stagnant water to see one- celled animals on a slide, or the end, the doctor, (modelled supposedly on Lenin) forcibly returns him to his canine state. Though much of it is as humorous as anything in The Master and Margarita, this early exercise in wish-fulfillment has. understandably, failed to appear on bookshelves in the Soviet Union. Bulgakov died an embittered man, whose finest work was unprintable in his own country. Luckily for us, he's now as available as the nearest bookstore. a magnifying glass and watch butterflies and growing things. There are small trips, and lovely colour slides right here. The smell of nasturtiums, the taste of blackberries, so many experiences on a lovely summer day. Go barefoot in the grass and dream a trip. May everyone envy your colour slides. Dear Ann: I am one of the many who want to lose weight. Do you have any hints? I've tried many diets but they don't work, or I gain it back. I hate how I look hanging out of a bathing suit. What to do? The Blimp Dear Blimp: Join the crowd. Overweight is one of the foremost problems of the North Americans. Whatever you do, do it slowly. Exercise; brisk walking is safe, half an hour in the morning. Eat three tablespoons of bran and wheat germ with your yogurt every morning. Cut out sugar. Try cutting all portions of food in half. Then you won't feel deprived, but not loaded up. Dear Ann: I met this attractive lady and her husband. They were very friendly, the wife particularly. Being a hungry bachelor. I lapped up thc attention. She invited me over to dinner and an evening. I supposed from her amorous insinuations that her husband would be out of town or at least away, but no, he was right there and wanted to share the fun. So we had a threesome. What do you think of that? Amused Dear Amused: I've always heard that three's a crowd, but what do I know? It sounds kinky but as I said, there's nothing new under the sun, or on the bed. \\\e &s\\uk vi the Estuary presents: oON .

By midnight I knew I was going to be up until dawn. It's one of those books that are almost impossible to put down once you've read the first chapter.

Joe Citizen and the RCMP are as much lo blame as the hot-rodders and all those cars from Alberta. Pratt Road is probably the most violated stretch of pavement on the Coast, with a rough estimate of three in every four vehicles exceeding thc speed limit by up to ninety kilometers per hour. Considering the number of children on horseback or children just being themselves. I think il's criminal that nothing is done about il. There arc a few of us who take license numbers and lime of infraction and let the police know. Bul somehow Ihat seems futile. Speed bumps could bc installed, but that would slow emergency vehicles. The best solution would be to dead-end Pratt Road, three quarters of a mile down from thc 101. Then those of us with an interest in children and livestock could be assured of safety on our road. Some of you may have had a bright light go on in there, and thought, "What about radar?"

With the boys away, I was very lonely. My two older sons, Peter and Chris Trower, were still in Vancouver, where they had been boarding while I was confined. My baby was still in hospital, where he was being kept for a month because 1 was too weak to look after the family at first. The house appalled me. Tryg had promised to have it painted for my return. And painted il was. But what a sight! It was unbelievable! The floors were yellow ochre, of all colours! They had been varnished before that. "Why the paint?" I asked, and was told that the mill had had it left over. (Left over from what? 1 could not imagine.) Thc kitchen was worse, if anything. The walls, ceiling, and cupboards were painted a garish green! Thc floor was battleship grey. The bedrooms if 1 remember right, were a drab, rather dark cream. It must be repainted, I felt. "THE TIDES" Lower Gibsons 886-9219 Fast Food Take-Out Fish & Chips 1 decided to start on the bedrooms so the boys would have them fresh to come back to. But I made a mistake to try; 1 wasn't up to it, and botched it on my first attempt. When Tryg returned from work, 1 was forbidden to continue with it, of course. "What is the use of my getting a Chinaman in to make the supper for you, and you do this?" This is where the painter's story begins. The next day he arrived. He showed me how it should be done: "You musl work in Ihe paint," and so forth, he said. As well as a free lesson in house decorating, he gave me his life story. He was a rather gaunt, emaciated little man. who hardly ever smiled. This was not to be wondered at after hearing his tale. His wife on thc other hand was obese. One got the impression thai hc was rather henpecked. He seldom spoke of her. Il was of his first wife and his early life and childhood that he told me, in a somewhat Dickensian style. His family had been very poor, he said. At an early age he had been taught to steal, as who would suspect so small a child, with such big, innocent eyes? Hc never got caught then. When he was still very young, hc acquired a job with a very kind lady. He was observed one day looking in at her window where there was a tree and children playing with their gifts. (It was Christmas time.) To his embarassment, he was invited in, and from that day on, this kind lady hired him to help her on occasion, and would sometimes let him stay the night. What luxury it was for him to sleep between clean sheets instead of grubby blankets. The lady introduced him to the vicar of the parish, who was good to him, too. He gave him nice new clothes and put him in the choir. He thought hc had forgotten how to steal with all this kindness and new-found friends and the honestly earned money he was able to take home. But one day he had a relapse, and this time he got caught, although he was forgiven, and thc incident never happened again. He could inner forget it, however, lt occurred at a church fete and thc vicar caught him stealing some icecream. Years later, the tables were reversed. This time it was he who was wronged. His first wife, who was a religious fanatic, stole thousands of dollars from him before it was discovered. What could he say? Alter all, hc had been a thief too. So he forgave her. "But why did you do it? All you had to do was ask." Her reply was that it was for her brother for his church work. She thought he would understand. A few days later he found her. She had hanged herself in the closet. The time soon passed, after Peter and Chris returned, and it did not seem long before I was happily reunited with my son Martin, who was a healthy and lively child, and a delight to his father. As to the painter, I never did sec him again, though I was ' ful to him for ittij ..g the decor of the house. The kitchen especially was more liveable, in white with red trim.. But until we moved to thc new house the company had built for us, I was still stuck with those dreadful yellow floors! And the haunting memory of the painter's story. 886-9737 The Home of People Prices music Weavers' For a laid-back atmosphere, drop down to the Wharf on Saturday night.

Not much, most people would reply. Even the least sophisticated may enjoy looking at a fine painting or listening to music or going to a show. So artists, musicians, and actors ��� however far outside the mainstream of business and industry ��� are seen to have some value. But poets? They don't give you facts, like a newspaper story. They waste paper ��� they don't fill each page with words, like a novel. They're not highly productive, sometimes labouring for days on a single phrase. And above all, they're hard to read ��� they bend and twist words, forcing you to struggle with meanings and images and sounds.... Yet what poets do is to provide new lenses, for seeing hidden truths. And lenses cannot be rushed through or roughed out. They must be painstakingly shaped, finely polished, before you can see through them. It is thc same with poetry. To try to see the value of a poet, consider the situation in the Republic of South Korea. You could spend your days accumulating facts and information about its repression, or its economic progress. You can balance intellectual arguments for and against its military dictatorship. But when you read the poetry of Kim Chi Ha, Korea's imprisoned poet, you find these shells of partial truth have peeled away, leaving man's injustice to man exposed like a throbbing heart. Of torture and brutality, Kim wrote: speak,speak, with torn body, every wound as an open lip as an open tongue. Poet Kim never murdered, raped, robbed, or cheated anyone. But the lenses of his poems reveal too much truth. South Korean President Park Chung Hee has shut him away for life. He spent nineteen months in solitary confinement with a single bare bulb burning night and day in his cell. Poets like Kim Chi Ha don't just tell us things that are true. Instead they let us discover truth for ourselves. That's why societies need poets. For a people without poets is a blind people, stumbling towards social suicide. |The foregoing is from The Office of Church in Society, the United Church of Canada.

Equu8^||i Cavalcade bvTrish Cramer, B.H.A.I. and Debbie Rhodes When we first purchase a horse, it is generally for a pet. No thought is ever given to showing it. Because of this, if we do decide to try our hand at showing, we seldom have any idea of what will be required of us or our horse. The first thing we would advise is to attend some local shows and really get involved in thc running of one or two. This will give you inside information on how the judging and running of a show really works. You will not need to know anything and your help will not, 1 assure you, bc turned down. While in attendance, take a good look at the winning horses and riders of the event you wish to compete in. If you want to compete you first must prepare. Your horse, if a pet, will generally be greatly helped if you also first prepare him for what you have in mind. A few riding lessons with a good instructor will soon tell you if you are ready, and more importantly if your horse is ready to compete. Ask lots of questions. Horse people never tire of discussing or showing if you are really sincere in your interest. Try to choose someone who is either a top competitor or a trainer as this will insure you will be advised correctly. Once you have decided to show and what events you are interested in, try a small local show first, with the idea in mind of training more than Golf - '78 LADIES': tow Gross 36 Holes ��� Virginia Douglas, 154 ��� TRAIL BAY SPORTS UNLIMITED TROPHY.

Coast Strokers BY DENNIS GRAY ' Bob is a young motorcycle enthusiast. In fact motorcycles have him in a state of euphoria, a high that many try to achieve with alcohol or drugs. He loves motorcycles so much he has spent most of his summer in the shop just to be around bikes. Bob is fifteen, tall, slim, and pale (you don't get much sun in a motorcycle shop). He bears a striking resemblance to Bob Hannah (current moto-cross star), his idol and the man he tries to emulate. In fact "Bob" is the name he gave himself���"Just call me Bob Hannah". The boys have complied to the point they call him Bob Banana. Bob calls my son 'Dad' and they get along just fine. But last Sunday morning Bob was pumped, this is a condition where every rational signal from the brain is blocked by the one to the throttle hand. It was the occasion of the Coast Cycle Sea- fare Enduro and Bob was running into people before the event even began. The course was a three mile wooded circuit which Bob had helped to build. But his excitement had erased any memory of it and he followed as many wrong trails as right. The riders were sent off in groups of three. Bob was in thc first group to disappear into thc trees, engine screaming high enough to shatter glass. Wc could watch his progress by following the line of shaking trees and when hc emerged onto a gravel road his throttle was still wide open. The bike, unable to get traction, began to spin in a circle, around they went, dust began to rise like the birth of a tornado but Bob would neither relax the throttle or fall over. Just when it looked as though he was going to screw his way into the ground he somehow broke loose and went bounding off down the road still wide open. If the Bike survived long enough to run out of gas, Bob was pumping enough adrenalin to fuel both of them. On their return it was my job to stop them before they went screaming across the highway. This was something like flagging down an enraged bull with a red flag and with these bezerkos bearing dawn on me at sixty miles per hour, discretion seemed like the nearest tree, particularly when Bob's helmet fell off and bounded down the road ahead of him like a great yellow cannonball. Somehow Bob always got stopped without using me as a bumper. Getting started again seemed to give him more of a problem as he crouched low over the bars, wicked the bike up to about twelve grand, dumped the clutch and just sat there. In a frustrated effort to get moving he began pedalling the bike along with his feet before I could suggest he put it in gear. I do not mean to ridicule Bob. It is a condition I have Please turn to Page Sixteen Draw for Workers' Teams, Low Net ��� FIRST: Virginia Douglas, Bruce Taylor, Stu Johnson, and Ted Kurluk. 533.

VON IVO Phona: 6*6 - 7213 Wildlife corner By Ian Corrance A few minutes down by thc head of Porpoise Bay watching idly and letting your eyes relax until you see life that the casual observer would miss, is to me as good a tonic as an hour spent with a psychiatrist or any other sedative. Friday is always a busy day for me in Sechelt, and around lunch time I can usually bc found around thc head of the Inlet with my mind on holiday. Last Friday, however, I thought that I was going to put Sechelt on the map. My mind was full of stories about the spoonbill sandpiper, spotted on thc Lower Mainland, when in flew about half a dozen kildeers with this unusual bird in tow. Aha! thought my romantic eye, always looking for the rare. All 1 had with me was an 85- 205 zoom lens which brought the bird a bit closer, but not close enough for positive identification. I ran off about forty-odd shots and figured that if I blew it up as big as I could on the enlarger, then a few more times on the copy TIME AT $1.00 OFF all albums & tapes 15 /O OFF all Shopping Centre, home stereo units 10% OFF all car units 886-9111 laiiiip! camera, I might be able, if lucky, to tell what it was. Right beside where I was madly running off film, is Peter Gordon's survey office. The chances were pretty good that he would have a pair of binoculars, so pushing aside the chair he had the door jammed with. 1 interrupted him on the telephone, apologised and went back out to watch the strange visitor���the bird, not me. About five minutes later, Peter joined me. He had taken his binoculars home thc night before, so we had to be satisfied with my lens and conjecture. The conversation drifted round to optics, which brought up his theoloditc. A theolo- dite! The perfect thing for bird-watching. Into his office, and in a few minutes hc was set up. It was great���you could sec thc reflection in the bird's eye. Even with this help it look us a while to identify the bird. It turned out to bc a long-billed dowitchcr, darn it, and not thc spoon- billed sandpiper that my overactive imagination had hoped for. Even though it wasn't a rare bird as I had hoped, it was the first time I had had a Dositive identification of this one. Wc would never have been able to identity it without the help of the theolodite. As the bird was half way between its summer and winter plumage, and all the colours were mixed up, including the legs, 1 thought that I might buy one of these great instruments when I grow up, until Peter told me the price of it. Catnappcr For the past three weeks I've found myself looking after two pregnant cats and a shedding dog, along with my own assortment of tropical fish. Normally this would be easy, chuck in some fish food, pat the dog, and let the cats have babies. But the cats decided that normal motherhood was not for them and went about it in their own way. Both cats looked like they would present me with around forty-eight little pattering feet at the same time, and at the beginning of last week the ar rival seemed imminent. One of the cats is a black bob-tailed, while the other is a young striped thing. Both arc strays which demanded room and board. The bobtail is the boss so I wondered how they would relate to each other during motherhood. I needn't have worried. Nature has a way of looking after cats >"hich arc being looked after by unpre- dicatable humans. I got up one morning and traced a high-pitched peeping sound to a squirming ball of kittens underneath the front steps, guarded over the proud bobtailed mother. Just in case it rained, I brought the kittens on to thc porch and made them a little home away from home. I checked on them that evening, and must admit that I was a bit surprised to find thc wrong cat in with thc brood. Even an explanation of the facts of life couldn't convince the cat that it was doing everything backwards, and would soon bc in for a shock. The bobtail which under normal circumstances was thc mistress of the house, stood by and didn't seem to take much interest in my theories about feline motherhood, so I decided to let them sort it out themselves. It was only when the striped eat started stealing thc kittens that I stepped in and demanded an explanation. The game of her stealing the kittens and my trying to catch her at it went on for a couple of days. I was worried that when she had her own they would bc too small to rival the older ones in the fight for milk. During this time the bobtail would occasionally take over her motherly duties, so again I let them go to it. The end result, apart from my being baffled, is that the striped cat no longer looks pregnant; I can't find any other kittens around, and both of them arc playing mother. I've no idea if this is a normal state of things or not, but I can tell you one thing, the kittens are not complaining. Fish Farming Another attempt is being made to start fish farming on the Coast. This latest attempt has so far been looked upon favourably by thc official channels it has gone to. It's a Vancouver Island man John Slind who is going to give it a try. The spot he s picked is just above Tuwanek Point in the Sechelt Inlet. The difference between this one and others is that the fish will not be allowed to run to the open sea, but will be penned. This is one of the reasons that officials are looking more favourably on the project. What this means is that thc usual losses to Japanese deep-sea gillnets will be avoided. The fish will be kept in the fresh water pens for aboul a year, after which time they will weigh between a pound and a pound and a half. They will be utilized mainly for the restaurant and airline trade. If it is possible, Slind wants to begin this year. He'll start with springs and eoho���he's figuring on aboul fifty thousand coho and twenty-five thousand springs. Once he has this established, he plans to try thc trout market. If this gets Marled and is profitable, then il would be a perfect industry lor this coast. Fishing This is a greal war for fishing; just aboul every place has been hot al one time or another in the past couple of weeks. Coho are running right now. In some areas the average is between four and five pounds; in others they're hitting a seven-to eight-pound average, which is well worth getting up early for. At Davis Bay wharf there've been a couple of thirty-one pounders caught right off the dock and lots of smaller ones. This is good to hear, even if my own two attempts have been less successful. The first time that I was going fishing was the Wednesday before last. It rained, and that, combined with the beer strike, was enough to keep me al home with a book. My second attempt I did actually get a line in thc water, but it was the wrong part of thc ocean, I guess���cither that, or all the fish were fed up.

Coast News, August 8,1978 Roberts Creek Continued from Page Ten was in the Seaview Market for only two days, but it was signed by over fifty taxpayers, including many residents of Beach Avenue. In other business at the Community Association meeting, the Association expressed itself as unanimously opposed to the proposed developments on Mr. Ron James's property on Flume Road. About fifty people attended the meeting, and most of them were entirely opposed ot any mobile home park or strata land developments in Roberts Creek although some felt that any applications should be judged on their individual merits or lack thereof. The meeting, which had commenced at 8:00 p.m. was adjourned at 10:10 p.m. Coast Strokers ' local crafts Continued bom Page One often seen in racing. I may have been pumped a few times myself. At best it is a feeling of invincibility where all obstacles dissolve. In this condition a man could enter a butting contest with a bull moose and probably win. At worst it just causes confusion. Sometimes people get so excited after a spill they go the wrong way, or pick up tne wrong bike, or put their helmet on backwards, or frantically begin pushing a dead bikejintil jhey__drop Jn tears ;,, Guess Where The usual prize of $5.00 will go to the firsl winning entry drawn from the barrel. Last wek's winner was Oawne Atlee of Franklin Road in Gibsons. She shall receive $10.00 as no one identified the Grad graffiti on the road last week. Police news SECHELT TO EARLS COVEi July 29: Two fiberglass CB. antennas valued at $100 were stolen from the parking lot at the Shell station in Halfmoon Bay.

These people often get in spectacular accidents but seldom get hurt. Often they survive to get a handle on this aggression and become excellent racers. Well, Bob didn't win that race, he came in second, but then with all his wrong turns and going in circles he probably went twice as far as anyone else. Perhaps one day he will become another Bob Hannah, but till then to his friends he is still Bob Banana.
