In a press release Thursday, CUPE members expressed concerns about stalled contract talks with the the school district. Labour Relations Board mediator Larry Greg, who was negotiating between Ihe Iwo groups, halted talks on Aug. 18 saying both sides were too far apart for mediation to be effective. District trustees have called for a special board meeting on Tuesday. "In thirty years of bargaining with this St. Mary's | abortion numbers on the increase by Jane Seyd One teenaged girl in every classroom on the Sunshine Coast will get pregnant in an average year. Just over half of those pregnancies will end in abortion. Most of the total number of abortions done at St. Mary's Hospital in Sechelt will, however, be done for older women - not teenagers. Still other local women will avoid St. Mary's altogether and will go off the Coast to have an _ abortion. Those are just a few of the facts to emerge last week, following the release of a B.C. government report on access to contraception and abortion in the province. In the last three years, the number of abortions at St. Mary's has risen - from 31 in 1991/92 to 47 in the last year ending in March. Fifteen of the abortions last year were done on women under age 19. The total abortion rate for Sunshine Coast women aged IS to 44 hovered just below the provincial average of IS abortions per 1,000 women in 1991/92. Since shortly after the last provincial election, St. Mary's has been one of several hospitals in the province designated as a regional abortion centre, for women who are less than 10 weeks pregnant. In fact, St. Mary's Hospital is pointed out in the report as providing better-than-usual care for women seeking abortions, in terms of its pre- and post-operative counselling and nursing care. Still, while 31 abortions were done at St. Mary's in 1991/92, 54 women from the Sunshine actually had the procedure - which means 23 of those local women had their abortions done elsewhere. Unlike some other areas of the province - particularly abortion clinics in Vancouver - St. Mary's hasn't had to deal with harassment or threats from anti-abortion activists. Ted Wright, hospital administrator, says in the seven years he's held the position, he can recall two or three occasions when anti-abortion protesters marched with signs in front of the hospilal. Recently, though, "the profile of the whole issue has settled way down." According to information in the report "Realizing Choices", the teen pregnancy rate on the Sunshine Coast - of just over 42 pregnancies per 1,000 women - is lower than the provincial average. Dr. Paul Martiquet, chief medical officer for the Coast- Garibaldi Health Unit, credits part of the lower teen pregnancy rate to the Planned Parenthood clinics which are run each Thursday night in Gibsons. turn lo back page district, we have never even voiced the word strike," said CUPE negotiator Janine Strand. "We're confused by the lack of movement by the district. They are refusing to bargain realistically. We're not a bunch of radicals, nobody wants a strike. We're willing to go back to the bargaining table, and we would consider binding arbitration," she said. While most members of the district management team were on 'retreat' al an unnamed Coast location Thursday and Friday, district treasurer Tim Anderson fielded questions about the negotiations. He confirmed the dislricl wants a three year contract and is offering 0 per cent in the first year, with nominal increases in years two and three. "They are asking for 3.5 per cent each year, in a two-year contract," he said. Strand said the 3.5 percent figure was news to her, and that CUPE has always had a two year contract. "We want to let the public know, we're not going out for a great wage increase, this is more concessions than anything else." In the event of a strike, CUPE is planning free, alternative care centres for the children of working parents. Special education teaching assistants (SETA's), clerks, librarians, maintenance and custodial workers, are represented by CUPE local 801. According to former CUPE president, and bargaining committee member Linda Olsen, the district has already eliminated 17 equivalent support staff positions. This June all but three SETAs were laid off, while their working hours were reduced as a cost-utting measure. Workers had to reapply for their positions on June 24. It turns out, however, the education ministry had given the school district permission to carry a deficit of $250,000 through 1996, which would have negated the need for layoffs. turn to back page M Kayaking the Skookumchuck A group of intrepid souls tackled the Skookumchuck rapids in kayaks last week, much to the amazement of locals.

Keith Thirkell photo Travelling far to find contentment at home by Darah Hansen The spider's webs in the corners of the deck are far more elaborate than the simple cottage in Roberts Creek. Blue and white, the wood framing is rotting, the scent of mildew rising from underneath the structure's paint ��� a result of years of exposure to the ocean lapping up at the foundations. And the blackberry bushes in behind offer it no protection, only decor to the outside of Ihe home. "It's nice to be back," says Wendy Norman, seated in a deck chair on her back porch overlooking the water. A red cat is stretched out in the sunbeam hitting directly below the chair. "It's nice to be back among friends... and back at work," she says. "And a shower with hot running water is really quite phenomenal. It sure beats pouring cold water over your head from out of a tin can." The 34-year-old Sunshine Coast doctor returned recently from a one year sabbatical overseas ��� six months of which she spent in Sudan, an African country modern civilization has yet to taint with its blend of bounty and depravity. Working with the European- based medical organization, Medicins Sans Fronteres (MSF) ��� or, in English, Doctors Without Borders, Norman was sent to Sudan in December, 1993. In six months she saw thousands of people stricken with fatal diseases, starvation and wounds as a result of a deadly civil war which has ravaged the country for 40 years or more. "It's a very special privilege to drop in on a society and live with ihem for six months," Norman says. "What I'll always remember is how warm, how open Ihey Doctor Wendy Norman discusses her medical mission In Sudan. Joel Johnstone pholo were... (how ihey) struggled to make some sense of their world." Going to Sudan was her own choice, Norman says. She chose it from other countries because of her skill and interest in treating tropical diseases. And having just completed a diploma in tropical medicine and hygiene at the University of Liverpool earlier in 1993, Norman wanted an opportunity lo put that knowledge into practice. MSF offered her that challenge. A non-denominational, non- political group, MSF has a slated objective to provide humanitarian relief to any population trapped by war and disease. "We go where other people can't or won't go," is its motto. Sudan had been a recipient of MSF's aid efforts for the past four years before Norman got there. Neighbouring Kenya and Uganda, the current war in Sudan, started in 1983, is between well-educated Arab/Muslims factions in the north of the country and the primitive, Christian nomadic tribes in the south. ��� "Rich versus poor... it's the same story you find anywhere I suppose," Norman says. It was in the south of the country that Norman spent her time and energy. Living under the simplest of conditions ��� straw huts, no running water, no roads or access to a stable food source beyond their simple farms, the major threat to the southern Sudanese people comes from a disease called Kala-Azar, a parasite in the blood system believed to be transmitted by sandflies, Norman says. To the people there, Kala- Azar is known as the "killing disease," she says. "Everyone who got it, died." MSF estimates up to 90,000 people from a population of 300,000 have died from the disease in the past five years ��� particularly children, many of whom are weakened by malnutrition and, therefore, more susceptible to the parasite. That was the hardest part for Norman. "I saw dead babies and children so often... and those terribly sick and skinny. It was so difficult for me," she says. Tuberculosis and diarrhea from poor waler conditions are also fatal problems in the country, Norman says. She estimates the average lifespan in southern Sudan at 50 years. Her role in MSF was to set up clinics to diagnose and treat the ill. turn to page 3 *_________________________________*__* f Coast News, August 29, 1994 FREE film or 2nd set of prints with each film developed 1 hour photos 5x7 prints 99$ Buy Trade-Rent Sega or Super Nintendo 183-5710 ftredo Strati Stcttlt 885-2882 news Cleanup begins follwing a cigarette-caused lire at Sunnycrest Mall last week.

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), has extended an invitation for local directors to engage in a partnership program with municipalities in Ecuador. The exchange program is being offered to the municipalities of Richmond, Vernon, and the Sunshine Coast Regional District, without charge to participants. Although Ecuador has no governmental infrastructure equivalent to the regional district, municipal governments manage both rural and urban areas. Director Brett McGillvray, who has been working with the FCM on this program said, "This is a great opportunity for the regional district to participate in an international outreach program and to share information. Certainly there.are IS, :%iiM$ differences with our structures, but we have a lot of experience with how local governments deal with senior governments. We've had to work on big issues, like fish farming, water quality, and land development." Basile Gilbert, manager for the Asia /America's exchange program with the FCM, will be meeting with directors later this week . If the SCRD agrees to participate, up to three directors will leave with a Canadian contingent in December for two days of talks in Quito, Ecud- aor's capital, before spending a week working with an outlying municipality. In other SCRD news, former director Tony Laver was presented with a gift of appreciation by directors. Laver resigned from the board earlier this year, has been replaced by Eric Cardinall who won the Area F by- election on August 13, with a margin of 37 votes. Cardinall seemed uncomfortable with the lack of background information available at the board meeting, and said he hoped 'he wasn't faced by a railroad.' A similar concern was voiced by audience member Clint Davies, who complained that bylaw information was presented by title only and the SCRD didn't provide background information to the public, so people would understand what was under discussion. "To all intents and purposes what you're doing is unintelligible to the public. I've been to a number of council and municipal meetings in other districts, and background information is always available," said Davies. Referring to the 'In Camera' session which followed the regular board meeting, Davies complained that too much government goes on behind closed doors on the Sunshine Coast. )ftll ii, ii i ^____v___m_^^a^<l!

The Red Cross is aiming for over 230 blood donors for the Sunshine Coast clinic Ihis time, but about 280 people need to show up to make that goal, said Johnston. Most donors who come out to Red Cross clinics have given blood before, but the organization is slill hoping new donors will come forward. First donors musl be over 17, under 60, and have eaten within the lasl four hours so blood sugar levels are stable. Restrictions apply to people who are on medication, have had body or ear-piercing or tatoos wilhin the last year or are considered in a high-risk group for HIV. While many other clinics have seen their numbers drop in recent years over publicized HIV/AIDS blood scandals, Sunshine Coasl donations have actually been rising, said Johnston. All blood types are needed, and after a long-weekend when accidents lend to happen, blood supplies are often at their most critical levels, said Johnston. The Red Cross does two blood donor clinics on Ihe Sunshine Coasl each year. Johnston said the organization is also hoping to find new volunteer coordinators to run the clinics in the future.

"Sure," he says, "There are times the job gets a little crazy, but it's nothing like doing emergency surgery in the middle of a war zone." And Brock speaks with the voice of experience; he did a five week stint earlier this spring and summer in Rwanda. Brock was part of the international medical organization Medicins Sans Frontiers (M.S.F.), Doctors Without Borders, which places doctors and medical students in troubled spots around the world. Essentially it's an humanitarian mission which strives to take emergency first aid and medicine to places where those services have been disrupted or do not exist at all, Brock says. The bottom line though is saving lives; "We had no grand exceptions of ending the war or Ihe suffering but if we can save a few hundred lives then we know we've accomplished something." As for the conditions in Rwanda, Brock describes them as attrocious. "We were almost constantly under fire," he says. "It really was a living hell." Wilh bodies literally dropping like flies it was sometimes difficult not to get overwhelmed, he adds. Brock, however, was already a war hardened field surgeon by the time he hit the sand in Rwanda. He did a similar stint last year in Somalia. He says he's seen more unnecessary deaths in one year than most Canadians see on TV in a life lime. But Brock says with so many desperate people needing attention, there's no time to get overwhelmed. "The task is always right in front of you." And he says, wilh the stench of death Jonathan Brock. always wafting through the air, time is of the essence. So why would a young up- and-coming Canadian medical student want to risk it all to put a small dent in the armour of human suffering? Brock says part of it is definitely ethical; "We take so much for granted Keith Thirkell pholo here but the fact is three quarters of the world lives in dire poverty, half the time caught between some senseless power struggle. I guess it's my way of reaching out to those who by sheer chance were born into less fortunate circumstances." But Brock says there's also a more practical and professional side lo it as well. "Where else," he asks, "would a Canadian med student get to stand in the middle of a combat zone performing 20 to 30 emergency operations a day." One of the first things he was told by superiors upon arrival was how many different diseases were present in the area. "The senior medical staff said I would see things in Rwanda that were now totally unheard of in Canada. Things like advanced terberculosis and cholera, for example." Even without his medical degree, Brock has been offered almost full time work with M.S.F.. He's decided to finish his studies though, take a little break and plan his future. "I'll definitely be spending some of my professional career over seas but I have no illusions about my own limitations, I'm no saviour, but if you ask me do I think I'm making a difference? - most definitely. We might not be able to stop all the pain but we do save lives and that in it self means something." Ultimately, Brock says, all the solutions are political. "Our government could start by pushing for more restrictions on the international sales of military hardware. And most of these war torn countries are still in the process of throwing off the chains of colonialism. It seems we only notice their plight if our own economic interests are threatened. "But until the political and economic will changes, M.S.F. will continue to try and stem the tide of human misfortune and pain with a bandaid. Brock, who hails from Ontario, has family on the Coast whom he regularly visits. He will spend the rest of his summer with the Coast Guard, as he has for the past four summers.

Doctor finds dilemma in Sudan experience from page 1 The clinics were formed from bamboo mats on Ihe dirt floor of a straw hut. A single table held the selection of eight medicines necessary to the treat the sick. Norman says, if caught in time, the diseases could be cured. Norman was aided in her work by other foreign nurses and doctors working with MSF and by local young men trained under the organization. The same men, among the three per cent of the population who were literate, often spoke some English and doubled their duties at the make-shift hospitals by acting as translators. Despile the immediate success of the presence of MSF in Sudan, Norman isn'l convinced of her personal role in Ihe program. "I certainly have more skills than when I left (the Coast)," she says, pausing to answer whether she feels touched by her experience. Her dilemma is part of a larger a philosophical debate, she says ��� a question of whether she did more harm than good in the country. Along with providing necessary medical care, Ihe influx of weslern culture brings thoughts, ideas, and tangible items far beyond whal these primitive people have previously been touched by. "I can'l help thinking we were helping Ihem be less content with what they've got," she says. Moreover, Norman feels she'd like more education before reluming lo a third world country. "These people don'l need fancy doctors with shiny equipment, they need someone to teach ihem how to look after Iheir own people," she says, adding "Ihere are people who can do that (teach) belter than I can." Norman says she does feel more content now having gone and worked in Sudan. "I don't see my work in Sechell as being less valuable or less valid than whal I was doing over there....in many ways it doesn't offer me any more (as a doctor) than being able to provide care right here."

Well, sort of. For years dust from a nearby dirt road has caused problems for residents of Sechelt's Porpoise Bay Properties subdivision while they tried in vain to make Sechelt council take notice. Now, area resident John Burns has the District of Sechelt in civil court, suing the municipality for $10,000 over the issue. Not a lot of money, really, when one thinks of the amount of time and effort that has been put into trying to make council take responsibility for the problem. The fact is, both the gravel road - Burnett Road - and the subdivision are within District of Sechelt boundaries. Burnett Road, which currently serves as access to a gravel pit, is technically a municipal thoroughfare. Council in the past has said Sechelt is not responsible because the municipality has "never" done any improvement work on the road, a prerequisite step under the municipal act before the municipality is seen as responsible. Burns, however, contends the District of Sechelt has done work on the road, including grading it when it becomes too rough. What Burns and residents of Porpoise Bay Properties want, essentially, is for the municipality to acknowledge the problem and maintain the gravel road leading to the gravel pit... to provide some measure of dust control. In an ideal world, the residents would see Burnett Road paved. The only really unfortunate thing about the situation is that it will take so long for the court system to work. The dust problem rose in 1990, and the case was first brought to court in the fall of 1993. Now it has been postponed again until February of 1995. And still the problem persists. Well, to his credit, John Burns has persisted as well. And with a little luck his persistence may be rewarded with a court victory. Even if the judge doesn't award him the $10,000, Burns may finally make Sechelt take a little respemibthty -for some of the long-ignored problems within town boundaries. We won't know for sure, however, until the dust settles. Long distance telephoning changes in the wind Just a note about pending changes to telephoning in Canada. It seems that North America is running out of phone numbers under the current system due to increased demand for non-traditional services like fax machines and cellular phones. So... starting in September all long distance calls, including dialing from Pender Harbour to Gibsons, will require an area code. It may take some getting used to.

S.A.BERNTSON Roberts Creek The ethical dilemma of naming names is not easy Like most people, I've often been struck with the things they just don't teach you in school. In journalism, as for many professions, "ethics" was an alarmingly small part of the curriculum while at university. Turns out, of course, it's a rather large part of the job. For reporters and editors, ethics is one of those large, nebulous and shadowy issues, which falls into the cavernous grey vacuum where what's legally allowable leaves off. It includes all of the big concerns - like what's newsworthy, how much we have a duty to report, community feelings and the effect our words might have on other people's lives. Right up near the top of this ethical morass is the issue of when to name names. The truth is, unless the subject at hand happens to be a politician with something to gain, a great many people would rather their names not appear in the paper. It's not hard to see why. Many items which make it into the paper by their very nature involve conflict and controversy. Oftentimes it's worse. And sometimes, people simply don't want to call attention to themselves. For journalists, it's a difficult issue, because the coastal beat general rule is people must be named along with any public statements. For many papers, unaltributed quotations are simply nol acceptable. There are good reasons for ihis. Anyone can say anything they like under a shield of anonymity. Without the name of an actual person, there's no context to help interpret the comment, and no recourse for a reader to verify what's being said. Naming names may make people wary, but it also tends to keep everyone more honest. It also adds a rather important element of hard reality to a story. Of course, there are times when not naming jane seyd people seems justified, when confidential medical or sexual issues are involved. Others instances are less clear, such as people who fear they'll be harassed if they speak oul in the paper, who fear losing their jobs, getting cut off some kind of income, or upsetting and angering family if their views or the details of iheir situations are published. Each one is an ethical decision and no doubt, I, like others, have sometimes made the wrong one. In court reporting, these issues only get more complicated and more serious in their potential to affect many people's lives. Understandably, most people who end up before the judge don't want their their names in the paper. But one of the principles of our court system is that it is open. And in it, real people are charged with real crimes, which take place almost every day in our communities. Often there's an issue of not wanting lo "re-victimize" the victims of certain crimes. For certain types of crimes, like sexual assault, the identity of someone charged or convicted is not often revealed in order to protect the victim. But there are grey areas here as well. For instance, should similar rules apply for cases of spousal assault (often an issue before the courts on the Sunshine Coast)? I'm not sure. Sometimes I wonder just what kind of message we're sending by not naming those convicted in order lo protect victims from the "shame" of public identification. Whose shame is il anyway? And what about people who are charged, only lo be found not guilty later on, often long after their names have first been published in the paper? These are difficult questions. I don't know all the answers. As the American columnist Bob Greene once commented, "Whal do we owe the people we wrile aboul? Maybe nothing. Perhaps a little kindness."

The job interviewee stared on in horror as the assistant bank manager's thin lips moved in a wavy chewing motion. While slill smacking away at her poppy seed muffin, she lold Ihe interviewee, "This is a high level posilion, you know?" "I'm well aware of THAT," he said in a Sleve-Marlin-being- confidenl-volce and immediately fell his shoulders sloop like an old horse being mounted by fai knight in full bailie armor. The assislant manager noticed this and leapt for his throat. "This job is more than just a job. It can be a career and if you climb the ladder right, you may one day fill my shoes." She leaned inlo his space and glared at him hard for five seconds and leapt again. "We don't want any slackers or scum...and lhat is why you have cleared our screening and passed our short list exam," she smiled. "Uh huh," he said, wailing for the grand finale with scrunch-toed anticipation. "Now, there's one last test you musl lake," she said, popping the lasl piece of poppy seed muffin into her yap. She handed him a small beaker and smiled that thin- lipped smile. What he supposed were her teelh tried lo pop out in the middle past ihe lips bul a stern demeanor borne from years of biling her tongue on the way up the ladder forced them back. The interviewee grasped Ihe beaker lightly and wondered if he should ask but it came oul before his rationality chips fired. "What is this for?" "For you to pee inlo, lhank you." She held her hand toward the door. "Bathroom is on the other side of the office pasl all the desks." He stood and turned, "Why should I pee into this?" "Because, it is our company policy lo screen for drug-users. Don't be long." She waved her hand in a tut-lut, now scuttle off way. The interviewee shrugged and closed the door behind him. All 20 or so people that worked in the large open office took at leasl one gander at him as he marched toward the bathroom with a noble Voltaire- death-dream march. A busy looking little man trundled pasl him and knocked ian cobb on the assislant manager's door. As the interviewee stepped inlo the bathroom Ihe little bank manager stepped inlo his employee's office. "Ms. Flange, you've been wilh us...whal... 11 years?" He asked with a voice lhat could be compared lo Maxwell Smart when he's admitting yet another gaffe lo the Chief. "No, I've been with the Eastern Bank of Shyst for 12 years, Mr. Grappler," the assistant manager said, leaning back in her leather chair. "That's too bad, you musl have compiled quite a pension by now though," the assistant manager heard her boss say. "What are trying to tell me?" She whispered. "You're fired," Grappler responded matter-of-factly. "ll seems you've failed the drug test." "I don't do drugs," she yelped. "According lo your urine sample you're a light marijuana user," Grappler said. "I haven't smoked a joint in 10 years, easy," Flange said, tears welling. "I'm sorry Ms. Flange bul you know the rules and there's one other thing, ll appears as though you've also been dabbling in what the lab techs lell me could be cocaine." Flange fainted. Her head whacked onto the desk on top of Ihe poppy seed wrapper. A knock came at Ihe door. The interviewee stepped in and saw Flange lying face down on her desk. "Ummm," he said. "Ah, a urine sample, come along with me young man. I'll deal with you," Grappler said and lead Ihe interviewee away. As the office door shut Flange entered a groggy period of REM and dreamed she was sitting in a living room filled wilh friends. A joint was being passed around. She politely refused as it wafted under her nose. Suddenly, a black wall appeared and in the very dead centre of it was a small beaker with her name written on a strip of masking tape in Ihe centre of il. A poppy seed muffin floated past and she heard a scientist announce, "These little seeds, if ingested, will give off the same indicators in your urine as cocaine." "Damn rules," she dreamed. letters SCRD scrutiny As one of Ihe parties directly involved wilh filing the complaint wilh Municipal Affairs regarding the allegations of the SCRD's misallocation of funds, I feel I musl comment on Ihe recent developments reported in your paper. I fully support Mayor Eric Small's stance on demanding the board implement most, if not all, of the inspector pf municipalities' recommendations., Clearly, funds were misallo- caied by the SCRD and Ihose funds came from Ihe taxpayers of Sechelt and Gibsons. Clearly, the rural directors have in the past, and il seems will continue to do so in the future, banded together lo keep Gibsons and Sechell in the background while using Gibsons and Sechelt's money to do with what ihey will. It is most magnanimous for Sechelt's representative on the Board, Mayor Earl Basse lo say "ihere may have been some mis- allocation of funds, though I'm not so sure Ihey were so significant. I want lo see how we can do belter, and focus on thai." Not so significant? By my reckoning, ihe SCRD owes the I The Battle is Back... Sat Sept 17 & Sun. Sept. 18 FRONTRUNNERS PRESENTS OVGT $2500 BATTLE in prizes ON THE Registration Deadline Sept. 16 mm Sechell taxpayer close lo $100,000. if that isn't significant for a town of Sechelt's size, then what is? A million dollars? As far as Chairman Connor's comments on not inviting Gibsons and Sechell to participate in SCRD Board functions such as workshops and retreats and "giving the municipalities a break by nol committing you lo be on committees"...give me a break Peggy. Each SCRD director is supposed lo be equal...and lhal includes the Gibsons and Sechelt representatives. Not to even be made aware of ihe retreats or workshops that the rest of the directors take pan in is inexcuse- able...especially when Gibsons and Sechelt are paying for part of them ihrough their taxes. And as far as committees go, both Gibsons and Sechelt sil on SCRD committees that represent functions lhal we pay to be part of. However, you'll never find a municipal representative as chairperson of one of those committees. Maybe because ihe rest of the SCRD wants to keep the extra $5,000 they pay to chairpeople "in the family." On many occasions while I was Mayor of Sechelt, ihe SCRD called special meetings or changed the time of meetings without informing either Eric Small or me. Somehow the information got to all of ihe rural directors...bul nol lo us. Mayor Basse seems to think lhal Ihe installation of fax machines in each director's home will put a slop to lhat. Wake up Earl! The rural directors always knew.and the municipalities had fax machines. And when I was mayor, both Eric Small and I had our home numbers in the phone book. Don't pile another needless expense on the taxpayer by supplying fax machines to everyone. Even with fax machines by our beds the municipal representatives will continue to be "accidentally" excluded! Mayor Basse says "you can't legislate trust." No you can't. You can't buy il either and let- ling the SCRD get away wilh Ihe mis-use of $100,000 of Sechelt's money won't change anything. Whal will change things is to clean house at the next election so that the same old rural directors will be off the board. If ihe same people keep coming back, for the most part unopposed, you had might as well say goodbye io the idea of one government because they will pul as many roadblocks as they can in the way. After all, each has a little kingdom over which they rule and unless something changes they will keep on ruling their kingdoms and, through block voting, the municipalities too. And while I'm al it...both Gibsons and Sechelt paid their share of tne now famous $17,000 table that graces the SCRD board room. I know I would feel a lol better aboul il if the old table were brought back and the new one used as a second ice surface at the Arena. (You know, the only arena on the Coast...the one lhat Director Gurney worked so hard to defeat coaslwide funding for at last year's referendum.)

IS issue of the Coasl News I feel it is important lo clarify Conslruction Aggregates' position wilh regard to the sanding of Sechelt's Trail Bay beach. Construction Aggregates is nol Irying lo pull a fast one on anyone and is not looking for a place to deposit excess sand. CAL. was approached by the Sechelt Chamber of Commerce and asked if we would consider donating material for the sanding of Trail Bay beach. The company responded by offering to supply the sand and equipment to sand the beaches if the community was in favour of the project and if Ihe Ministry of Environment and Department of Fisheries approved. In addition, ihe employees of Construction Aggregates generously offered to donate their lime to do the work. In terms of a place for Construction Aggregates to get rid of excess material, it would take only 20,000 tonnes of sand to cover ihe 1.5 kilometre stretch of Trail Bay beach 30 metres wide and .3 metres deep. Conslruction Aggregates ships this much material every day. There is absolutely no economic benefit to Construclion Aggregates in placing sand on Sechelt beaches. I think Ms. Barnsley is unfairly judging ihe motives of our company, however I do agree with her lhat the citizens of Sechelt should communicale their support or objection for Ihis project to Sechelt council. A projeci of ihis type must be supported by the communily if it is to be undertaken.

The story read that a 17-year-old girl, Betty Denham needed the permission of a Mr. Justice Wilson to marry 22- year-old Edward Wray because she was underage. The story indicated Denham didn't know who her parents were. If fact, Denham, now Mrs. Betty Wray, knew who her parents were, but, as they were separated, she didn't know the whereabouts of her mother. The permission of both parents was necessary for her to wed. The Wrays, (left) now living in Kelowna, appeared at the Coast News last week to set the record straight.

This special week, proclaimed by the Mayor of Gibsons, began with a suggestion by the Rev. Esther North that our community show the children what it has to offer them. Besides the program of events going on all this week down in the courtyard level of St. Bart's, Gibsons, Ihere are activities provided by more than a dozen community associations or facilities - activities especially for children and families. Tours of Ihe Pioneer Museum, for example, as well as a map hunt of the recreational treasures of the Sunshine Coast, a colouring contest, how to care for a pet dog or cat, visits lo the Fire Department and to Ihe RCMP, a visit to the fish hatchery, the library, Molly's Lane Market. Quite a list! And all near al hand. As well, the swimming pool offers a discount for family rentals in September, and there's a discount too on family excursions of Howe Sound islands by charter boat this week. Tomorrow at St. Bart's courtyard there are seminars in child protection and one on banking and new planning options. Other events continue until Saturday afternoon. For information telephone 885-4136. Jusl a thought...a great week for grandparents to consider if you have little ones visiting or living nearby. Kid brother . Wally Langdale, whose.family name graces our ferry terminal and the subdivision on the upland nearby, loaned me a news clipping telling about his kid brother Les. Wally, 89, uses the term since his Les is only 72. Les Langdale, a mid-upper gunner in a Halifax bomber in World War II, remembers the strong bond of trust and friendship among the crew members, a bond stronger lhan that of brothers. At a reunion of Ihe crew in 1993 all agreed they'd just as soon forget everything about the war except their comradeship. One of the crew said, "If the powers that be had a bunch of old guys like us who knew what it was like they'd never be able to stir up a war in the first place. They'd have to find some other way to settle the way to settle the squabble." The anecdote from a bomber crew reunion expresses the theme that emerged , from all the 50th anniversary of D-day gatherings Ihis year. You're Invited! to the Raven's Cry OPEN HOUSE and General Meeting FRIDAY, SEPT. 16 7:30-10:00 pm Lots of fun & entertainment for the whole family Hwy. 101 House of Hewhiwus, Sechelt, BC Resident dedicates time to raise money through Terry Fox Run by Darah Hansen Every year about this time, Dogpatch resident Liz Calder takes out her pledge sheets and goes to work on the community. No one is exempt from her crusade. "Every penny, every nickel helps," she says, of her determination to ask everyone and anyone she meets to help donate to the annual Terry Fox Run on the Sunshine Coasl. Calder, 36, has consistently been one of the strongest forces behind the Terry Fox pledge drive on the Coast for years. Over the past five years she's gathered $5,309 worth of pledges, collecting $1,969 just last year ��� a personal best, says Calder. This year she's hoping lo lop that figure. "I try every year," she says. "It's a little challenge I set up for myself." "Everyone has their cause...with me, it's cancer," she says. Calder's commitment to the Terry Fox Run ��� which raises money for cancer research ��� stems from her own experience with the disease. 'Everyone bos their causa., with me, It's cancer' ���Liz Calder At age 14, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her sickness and subsequent treatment made Terry Fox's dream of finding a cure for cancer all the more urgent for her. "I remember when Terry Fox was on his run. I followed it faithfully...Il just really hit me what he was (trying to do), as it did many people." Terry Fox raised $24.17 million in 1981 while running across Canada on his 'Marathon of Hope' in aid of cancer research. The Marathon of Hope continues in Sechelt and Gibsons, Sept. 18. The routes are three, six and 10 kilometres long. Walkers, bikers and runners are all welcome. Participants are encouraged to pick up pledges for their marathon efforts. Pledge sheets are available at various businesses around the Coast. For information on how to enter the run or register a donation, phone Mike Metcalfe in Sechelt at 885-3131 or Rieta Hanson in Gibsons at 8864305. "I really hope Ihis does promote a few more people to get out and do something...or give something. One of these days they might just come up with a cure," Calder says.

Our lhanks to the many satisi- fied customers who turned up for our book sale held during Creek Daze. The books rapidly disappeared and the sale was a roaring success. Our total profit was $292, which will help to buy even more wonderful reading material. Thank you for making this our biggest sale on record. Your support is always appreciated. Creek Daze The 1994 Creek Daze was a blast from beginning to finish. On Friday, the Creekers blazed to victory as they wiped out the Firefighters baseball team. Word has it that they are belter with a hose than a bat...but what the heck...you have a whole year to practise. Later in the evening, the Mr. Roberts Creek pageant was held at the hall and enjoyed by a full house! There were seven contestants including a mystery guest who represented the fire department. Co-host Ken Dagleish claims these candidates represented the "Real Men of Roberls Creek." He guaranteed there were no Clowning around ahead of the Rainbow Pre-school float at Ihe Hlggley-Piggley Parade in Roberts Creek. Joel Johnstone photo impostors. He also informed the eager crowd that you can never be too old to be Mr. Roberts Creek. Special guest and contender was David Coles, Ihe current reigning Mr. Roberts Creek who is a Creeker at heart even though he lives in Gibsons! Diane Emmons who hosted and was the evening's MC conducted the event like a pro. Atlantic City, eat your heart oul! The candidates were asked many questions and were judged on savoir faire, brains, brawn and entertainment. The answers were diplomatic and they all agreed thai we were privileged to live in the Creek. They would encourage everyone to come on by and learn from Creekers how to live and work together in peace and harmony.

The crowd agreed that the judges did a great job! Saturday began with early setup. Promptly at 11 am the Creek Spirit erupted as the expected eight parade entries led off the Parade. Parade Marshall Barry Krangle was surprised and delighted when the entries were far more lhan they expected. The balance of the day was spent enjoying games, crafts, food, and the was lots of time for social acquaintances. The sun was shining brightly, Ihe village was mobbed and Ihe Creek was alive with fun, laughter, music and Creek hysteria.

Summer's end means reduced speeds are back in force on Chaster Road. Please watch for bikes and buses again. The Tint day of school, September 6, is a half day only. Has your garden done well this summer? The Fall Fair is hoping Elphinstone will again do a display table. The trophy is quite big and beautiful. Our community was the first lo win this trophy several years ago. Call me if you have any produce or products for a community display table. Lei's try to give Hopkins/Granthams a ran for the prize. The regular Elphinstone Elector's Association meets September 14, 7:30 pm at Frank West Community Use Room. No meetings were held all summer so do turn out wilh questions and problems. Back-to-school time makes me reassess the woodpile and find ihe leaf rake. Rather than burn or bag for trash, you could make ihose leaves into compost. I bought an Earth Machine ($40 from the SCRD) and it will hold a year's worth of leaves easily. Layer with kilchen scraps, green clippings and a few shovels of earth. There are still some Earth Machines left. I ihink it appropriate that local government is offering such a good deal - after all, more compost equals less tonnage lo Ihe landfill equals less taxes. The bonus from the deal is lhat you end up with a valuable amendment for your garden. Fall and again in spring are the best limes lo lop dress wilh compost. Jusl a final reminder, no burning al ail and reduced sprinkling are slill in effect. Please call Catherine at 886- 7785 with items or announcements. ��� ������_______. community Coast News, August 29, 1994 dockside davls bay by Jo-Anne Sheanh 885-3629 This week sees Ihe end of our fling at summer and the last holiday weekend until Thanksgiving in October, so let's make the best of it. School School opens nexl week and already workshops, seminars, course, classes and meetings are in the planning stages and another round of activities for Ihe fall/winter season is underway. Cap College has already distributed its fall term brochure with a varied selection of courses which include career/vocational and academic subjects, to name a few. Anyday now we can expect the Continuing Ed brochure to land in our mailbox. Watch for il as there are always new and interesting things to learn. Okanagan visit We spent last weekend in the Okanagan visiting relatives and while there were no fires visible, Ihe 'fallout' from the Penticton fires was evident everywhere. There is a fine layer of black soot on everything: cars, deck furniture, house siding, windows, elc. Even the grass - walk Ihrough it in bare feet and your feet become black, as do Ihe dogs. I'm lold there have been a lot of respiratory problems as a result of this fine black dust in the air. How blessed we are to have the clean, clear air we have here. We were surprised at the cost of fruit and vegetables at the roadside stands around Oliver and Keremeos, the heart of the orchards and farms. The prices were high when you consider fruit is falling off the trees and rotting on the ground. One cannot help but Ihink of the millions of people in the world who are starving and this wonderful food is going to waste. We have seen Okanagan fruit and vegetables cheaper here on the mainland than we saw up Ihere. Fishing has been a great disappointment this year to most fisherman. The dock, which in years past was always abuzz with fish being caught every day, has not attracted Ihe numbers it usually does. If there are any caught al all, ihey are usually not keepers and have lo be thrown back. As you read this, the Charlie Brookman Derby will have taken place, so next week you will have all the results. Thrift shop St. Mary's Hospital Auxiliary's Thrift Shop continues to be one of the busiest places in town with its bargain prices and interesting assortment of goods. With schooldays fast approaching, mothers, ever mindful of the budget, are snapping up the choicest apparel and outfitting their children in fashion and style. The shop has been open on Mondays for Ihe summer months to accommodate visitors to the area, but will resume its Monday closings after the holiday. Do enjoy Ihis last official week of summer!

For those old enough to remember, the TV health message features a 1950's type family, of Mom, Dad, and two kids eating foods very high in fat. Did you notice the little girl pouring fatty gravy onto her food? It turned my stomach, but also alarmed me somewhat that our heart healthy low fat eating message might be translated for children, too. Wrong! It is definitely not great for babies and toddlers to eat a low fat diet. Breast milk is the best milk for infants and it's naturally high in .fat and infant formula copies this. Toddlers should drink breast milk or whole milk until they are at least two years of age. But whal aboul school-aged kids and pre-schoolers? How much fat is good for ihem? The answer to lhat question involves growth. To grow well, children need to get enough calories for activities and growth as well as plenty of fat-soluble vitamins. Because fat provides more than twice as many calories as starches and proteins, kids need to eat more fai than adults just to get enough calories to grow. Peanut butter and cheese, for example, can be good snack foods for children. They pack plenty of calories into a small space as well as protein, vitamins and minerals. Adults may need to choose more moderate amounts of these higher fat foods. Does thai mean children shouldn't eal Ihe lower fai meals Iheir parents do? Not necessarily. They can be learning to enjoy these good tasting lower fat foods with the rest of Ihe family. Eating the Modern Way is an encouragement lo deal with the fat tooth syndrome. Fast foods and junky foods are still laced wilh fai, chocolate, too. These sort of empty calories could be the foods we offer and encourage in moderation. By the time teens are making independent food choices, it's often a time of food rebellion or peer comfort. Of course, once teens have finished growing, their bodies are ready to eat the modern way, but they are challenged by their freedom to choose and pressures to be in shape. Eating the Modern Way still has a strong message. Less sauces and gravies, fatty meats and dairy will keep most of us trim for the year 2000. When our young ones see how we eat healthy, they can leant to make heart smart choices for themselves when they grow up.

The Columbia Coasl Mission established hospitals al Rock Bay, Texada Island, Garden Bay and Alerl Bay, serving the needs of the sick and injured. They employed a small flotilla of vessels which carried clergy, doctors and dentists into isolated communities Last weekend the Sundowner Inn, formerly Sl. Mary's hospilal al Garden Bay, opened Ihe doors of hospitality to welcome home the mission boats, their crews, and families whose lives were touched by and sometimes depended upon the mission boats. Sundowner owner Dallas Brock promised the event would be a walk down memory lane, and it was. Luella Duncan, the first bride married in the chapel at St. Mary's, explained why Ihe boats were called sky pilots. "As kids we thought they brought Ihe message from God out of the sky and across the water to us." All weekend Ihe Garden Bay dock was crowded wilh curious onlookers. Visions of yesterday were moored at the floats. The Columbia III, flagship of the Columbia Coasl Missions, now majestically restored by owner Bill McKechnie, rolled Almeda Scott aboard the Messenger III, one of six former mission boats to return last week to Pender Harbour's Sundowner Inn, formerly St Mary's Hospital. Joel Johnstone photo gently beside the launch-like vessel 'Argonaut,' once known as the Thomas Crosby IV. The Columbia, designed by marine engineer Robert Allen in 1956, was a hospital ship fea turing portable X-ray equipment, a dental chair, and an infirmary. She was crewed by a captain, a chaplain, a doctor and a deckhand. Her foc'sal was designed as a chapel with altar, a portable organ, and seated twenty for marriages, Sunday services, and baptisms. McKechnie found the ship in 'pretty sad shape' in 1987. "She'd been sold from the mission in 1978, because float planes had taken over much of the medical evacuations, and she'd been used as a floating bunkhouse for tree planters." McKechnie bought her in 1988 and has spent six years restoring her. She now is a charter vessel out of Victoria. Other returned ships were the Monserrado a.k.a. the Alan Greene, named after Ihe Columbia Coast Mission superintendent, the Chelsea II, a.k.a. Ihe John Anile, The Veracity and Ihe Messenger III. Among the sold out crowds enjoying dinner and literary readings by Edith Iglauer and Howard White al Ihe event Friday night were two of Alan Greene's daughters. Greene was the CCM's superintendent from 1936-1960, and his daughters Catherine Tuck and Marjory Greene often accompanied him in his sky piloting. "He was a hard taskmaster aboard ship," Marjory said. "It didn't make any difference is you were family or not, everyone toed his line." Sunday morning with fine weather, the ships sailed inlo history. Dallas Brock is hoping this historic reunion will become an annual event. Something extra for Back to School? ^Thrifty* HELP THE .

Just the same all the monies go to the 'cause', which in this case is the new equipment needed needed by the P.H. Health Centre and St. Mary's Hospital. More details will follow as I receive them.

Thank you Valdine Michaud BYLAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER by Ruth Forrester 885-2418 Visiting Texada We spend a few days on the island of Texada last week and thoroughly enjoyed the activities ofthe Sandcastle Days. Especially impressive was the Moon Bags Ceremony. This took place at dusk where a bonfire was lit on the beach, and from the flames of the fire hundreds of candles were lit, placed in white bags which were attached to small flat pieces of wood, then placed at Ihe water's edge and floated out lo.sea. Under a moonlit sky it looked like a flotilla of lit up sailboats slowly floating towards the horizon. A fireworks display followed, a rock band sent out its vibes, and, in all, it was a most enjoyable evening. The next day's celebrations were in the ball park where Ihe popular highlight was entertainment by a singing group known as Ihe Texada Stars, under the leadership of our own Nikki Weber who now makes her home on the island. Brought back memories of the good old days when the Halfmoon Hams did their thing and had so much fun. Actually, the whole ambience of the island was reminiscent of what egmont news it was like in this area some 10 or 15 years ago, before we were discovered by developers. There were deer all over the place, just like it used to be on Redrooffs, and the pleasing thing was that on nearly all the properties there were "no hunting" signs. Brought bach memories of the good old days when the Halfmoon Hams did their thing and bad so much fun The folks Ihere like things the way they are, they appreciate the wildlife and their trees, and il will be a long lime before concrete replaces iheir trees. More on hummingbirds I read with inleresl Brock Hansen's letter lo the editor regarding my suggestion that feeders should be removed to allow the birds to migrate further south. Very interesting quotations from experts, bul personally I don't ihink it requires a degree in ornithology to know thai artificially feeding any wildlife species for long periods of lime is harmful, lhat if a food supply is easy, Ihe creature will lose its ability to fend for itself in the wild. As for the statement that Anna's hummingbirds overwinter and breed in December and January in Vancouver, it is hard to imagine that they could do so unless they are in the vicinity of some facility where there is an abundance of blossoms. According to Esther Quesada Tyrrell's text in her book Hummingbirds, Their Life and Behaviour", the Anna's do breed principally during the winter and early spring with the abundance of blossoms and insects that prevail afler the rainy season. Such is Ihe climate in California, but certainly not Ihis far north unless we have an exceptionally warm winter. So, despite advice from the experts, I have removed Ihe feeder and will fill it again in March when the first hummingbird comes desperately looking for nourishment when there are no blossoms from which ihey can feed naturally. Thank yon Brock for pointing oul other people's opinions on Ihis matter. ll shows thai somebody reads my column! by Lyn Mees There's a surprise coming lo the hall, so keep your eyes peeled everylime you go by. I'm not exactly sure when il will arrive, so you'll have lo keep watching. I'll give you details where, and why and when il does gel Ihere.

Please mark il down on your calendar, and make Ihe effort to be there, you can guess what Marten says if you don't show up. Please, anyone interested in volunteering for the thrift store, don't be afraid to say so! I know I asked Ihis last week, but just reminding you.

"Remember to keep your wrists and fingers loose," says Bradley Hunt, the art instructor for this workshop on northwest coast Native art, from Ihe front of the room. Nolice the movement in the lines, he tells the group. The strokes of the pencil should be fluid, like the motions of a dancer. His hands trace patterns in the air, - demonstrating the technique, while the teens look over each other's papers. Hunt begins to put the finishing touches on today's design at the blackboard, tracing the shape of an eyelid around an eye. This workshop is just one small part of life at Camp Salish, which now continues through the second part of its two-week program. Twenly-three young men and women between 13 and 18 years old have gathered at Camp Byng in Roberts Creek to take part in the third year of the camp, run by the non-profit Native Cultural and Theatre Arts Society. Not all of Ihem are of Native background, but the focus for Ihe camp Is on learning aboul Native culture and traditions. In the first week of the camp, workshops ranged from drum- making with Sam Saul, storytelling wilh Sechelt elder Gilbert Joe, acting wilh Sam Bob and a class in Native Soulh American percussion instruments with Joseph Danza. Vince Slogan, a medicine man and Native healer, led a workshop on the meaning of the medicine wheel, an important part of First Nations spirituality. Annie Frazier-Henry, a local First Nations writer and artist, is Ihe driving force behind Camp Salish.: ���' ��� -'���������''< ��� "ll was a vision of hers locre- ate something for youth," says Donnelly Rhodes, president of the society's board of directors. "There are millions of camps for kids who are in trouble," says Rhodes. The focus of this camp isn't on problems, but on what it's possible to achieve. "It's a kind of magical experience," he continues. "...They get 'It's a kind of magical experience' ���Donnelly Rhodes exposed to people who have been successful in iheir fields, ll has an incredible effect on them." Among Ihose taking part in the camp Ihis week will be renowned Haida artist Robert Davidson, who will also perform in Sechelt Friday evening with his Rainbow Creek Dancers. Artists donate their lime to the camp, receiving only travelling expenses and a small honorarium, "which some- limes could be a pouch of tobacco that we've prayed over," says Rhodes. ��������� For Hunt, who's been involved in the camp for two years now, the workshops offer a chance for teens lo be exposed to Native culture - something he says he didn't have much of when he was growing up. Back then, "the culture was pretty well pushed aside," he says. "...I wasn't encouraged to do Native art." "A lot of kids say 'I can't draw,'" he comments. "...They find out they can." "Mine wasn't thai good when I first started either." Rose Peters of Duncan said she's enjoyed the camp so far, particularly learning about the smudge ceremony: "Nobody laughed or anything." What will she remember about the camp? "I guess, caring," she says. Hunt says he hopes the teenagers will also take away a bit of the culture when they finish their workshops this week. Members of Ihe Utile Ravens native dance group work out in a NIA technique body movement class Thursday at Camp Salish. Below, a mostly-midwestern native dance demonstration for students ofthe camp.

Sponsored by the Sunshine Coast Community Futures Association, five arts organizations and a community playschool benefited from the project with major facility improvements and renovations. The $128,000 program was funded as a Job Development project through the federal office of Human Resources Development Canada. Sharon Anderchek, manager of the Community Futures program on the Coasl, said the project was a success, employing a crew of five to learn carpentry skills while assisting the arts groups to achieve their goals. Anderchek gave credit to Ray Audet, who provided the project management expertise, and Rick McGuire, who handled Ihe administration and overall project planning. Starting in Gibsons on the restoration of the Women's Institute Hall, the work crew progressed up the Sunshine Coast to complete a major addition ��������� and renovation to the Pender Harbour School of Music. "The arts in Pender will be enhanced with the opening of the new facility overlooking the harbour," said Anderchek, in a press release to ������_ the Coast News. She added larger audiences will be able to enjoy the spectacular scenery of Pender Harbour in a "bright and airy facility" with a large, outdoor deck. The Harbour Gallery was also improved to allow year- round use of the facility. On the same site as the gallery is the Serendipity Playschool. This "The arts in Pender will be enhanced with the opening of the new facility overlooking the harbour' -Shardn Anderchek building was renovated to make it accessible for wheelchairs. Anderchek said a bid to build a school for the arts at Rockwood Centre, in ���~~~^~ Sechelt was lost due to federal funding cut-backs to the community futures program. However, funding was available for the work crew to construct a storage shed adjacent to the festival .pavilion on. the Rockwood site. The Festival of Ihe Written Arts now has a secure facility for the storage of outdoor equipment, Anderchek said. The Arts Centre in Sechelt also benefited from Ihe project with newly paved laneways winding through their gardens. The wide variety of projects enabled the crew to learn foot ings and foundations, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing and finishing. Job search techniques were also included in the seven- month program. The project wrapped up Friday, Aug. 12 with a reception for all participants at the newly completed Pender Harbour School of Music in Madeira Park. The mandate of the Community Futures on the Coast is to aid community economic development ��� including social, economic and culluf^flfpflaifl^ ff,(>n?,,Pe|nfi?riH*,':!'P,^.^i Eginont. ������ Meanwhile Anderchek said Community Futures will, be merging with Ihe Sunshine Coast Business Developmeni Centre by the beginning of the next year. She said the move was a federal initiative to simplify the current application process under the programs and reduce federal costs.

Son Jack Inglis with his water taxi operations and the younger son Eric Inglis in the movement of freightby land and water. There was a definite need after the war to improve and expand water transport in Howe Sound and Jack recalls he had contemplated applying for a water franchise to carry passengers between Gibsons Landing and Horseshoe Bay on a scheduled basis. "An old fiend of mine, Mr. Justice Sidney Smith, offered to go to bat for me but, reluctantly, I never proceeded with a formal application as politics, maneuvering and pressure tactics were abounding as Union Steamships was pondering its future operations in Howe Sound." Finally, when it was all "saucered and blown on" Gordon Ballentine and George Frith after months of public hearings and negotiations were granted a scheduled passenger franchise between Fisherman's Cove and Gibsons Landing known as the Sea Bus Lines. Sea Bus Lines did a yeoman service in transporting passengers beginning in November 1945 but in the long run it proved inadequate. Then along came Gibson Bros. Logging company who purchased Gordon Ballentine's majority (55 per cent) interest, moved the franchise to Horseshoe Bay and began regular passenger service to Gibsons Landing with the stout navy converted Fairmile "MV Machigonne. Aboard were skippers Gillespie and the legendary John Bunyan along with the well known local John Atlee as deckhand. The service offered as many as three round trips daily increasing to as many as five trips in the summer heat and tourist season. Eventually Gibson Bros, sold their franchise - with government intervention playing a part in the scheme of things - and what fol- l&ta (*oved a rather interesting leading up to a car ferry service. For some time, Eric Inglis had been involved in freight movement both in Gibsons Landing area also moving Champion and White barge service to Vancouver. Later on when the firm ceased operations to Howe Sound, Inglis joined forces with Dick Fitchett (Gibson Building Supplies) and continued a barge service to Vancouver using Gulf of Georgia tugs and a barge on renlal agreement. Eric readily recalls, "I had my trucks around Gibsons, the first one was a 1929 Model A Ford one ton I bought from Harry Smith's older brother Chuck, increased later to three trucks and a logging iruck converted from a heavy army vehicle. Right up to the start of the car ferry in 1951 Dick Fitchett and I moved much freight between Vancouver and Gibsons Landing, both ways. With the start of Ihe car ferry I formed Vancouver-Gibsons Freight Lines, built a warehouse in Gibsons and never looked back." Eric Inglis points out, "Joe Higss had (old me his fath from Ihe main deck up, father Thomas Leonard Higgs and brother William York Higgs, both no strangers lo water transport and tugs as well as operators of the Nanaimo - Gabriola ferry, were in the running for car ferry service franchise." Al this time, Captain A.N. Peabody had just sold hit Puget Sound Navigation Ferry system to Ihe State of Washington Lo and behold, a deal was struck with Captain Peabody who had retained five ferries from his sale to the slate, to move Ihem to Canadian registry, agreeing to advance funds to the government (said to be a million dollars) to build and improve the roads in question. Captain Peabody and his Black Ball Canadian had the franchise and was soon in business in Howe Sound with his five vessels MV Quillayute, Bainbridge, City of Sacramento (Kahloke), MV Chinook II and a lesser ferry Malahat. Initially called the Black Ball Ferries, MV Quillayute was master of the Jervis Inlet run. Captain Peabody then purchased the ferry &*_**%' Evergreen Landscaping serving the Sunshine Coast for over 20 years ��� TOP QUALITY: Workmanship, Design, Materials FOH YOUR: Landscape, Irrigation, Fencing needs DESIGN, CONSULTATION or FREE ESTIMATE inquiries welcome for our DO-IT-YOURSELF packages 885-5033 Fax 885 3066 // you want to do if once, call us first!

In 1954, the City of Sacramento was completely refitted from the main deck up, renamed MV Kahloke and placed on the Horseshoe Bay-Nanaimo (Departure Bay) run and later added the sleek near new Chinnook II. I till some years later William I Andrew Cecil Bennett, the 'Premier of British Columbia took the bull by the horns and purchased all of the Black Ball system for $6,795,487 lock stock and barrel with the opposition parties raising the roof over the outlandish price, but there it stood. With the broadening onslaught of increased car ferry service in Howe Sound, Union Steamships ceased service to the area in 1951 although Gibsons Landing harbour master Harry Smith recalls they did have a small fleet of passenger launches but they were not used on the West Howe Sound route. In effect, Union Steamship was on the wane and rumours were abounding that loo many on the board of directors were feathering their nests while another reliable source maintained Union had not acted to replace and renew ships and tonnage in the decade before the war. Another source said Union's eventual demise in 1959 (iheir remaining vessels sold to Northland Navigation) was that the hurried purchase and refitting of Castle class corvettes acquired after the war was far too costly. So Ihe champion of coastal passenger and freight service was now history. Harry Smith had Ihis to say about Union Steamships: "I was their ticket agent after the war and I know personally Oerald Rushton a pioneer Union employ ee who wrote the two books on Union Steamships, Whistle up the Inlet and Echoes of the Whistle. He was my boss!" Just recently Gerald Rushton passed away at the age of 95 years. And Wally Peterson, all he wants is the British Columbia Ferry Corporation to name a ferry after Gibsons. After all, the first car ferry in Howe Sound was suited in Gibsons. Pioneer Chuck Winegarden in 1951, a resident for some 60 years was married to one of the . daughters of founder George Gib son, proudly cut the tape inaugurating the service from Gibsons wharf along with his daughter Gertie Corlett on this gala occasion. Chuck, buried in Gibaona Pioneer Park, was a preemptor of land at the top of the Mil, an old time logger who waa a top notch water dowser with the willow stick, never left the Landing very often, except, for sure, the Orangemens' parade in New Westminster every July 12.

The team won all its games in the zones the previous weekend and joined with nine other zone winning teams from around the province to determine the provincial champs. The 10 teams were divided inlo two sides of five teams. Each side played a round robin with the top two teams from each side moving onto the semi-final games. On the side wilh Gibsons were teams from Westside (Kelowna), Richmond, Enderby, and Chilliwack. On the other side were teams from Mission, Newton, Burnaby, Ridge Meadows and Revelstoke. In the first game, Westside gained the lead in the first inning and Gibsons never caught up losing to Westside 7 lo 4. The second game saw Gibsons come on strong. After 6 innings the team had a 10 run lead over Richmond who scored no runs. The mercy rule was in effect and the game was over. The third game against Enderby was really a full team effort game with Gibsons winning 7 to 6. The fourth game against Chilliwack was a high-hitting game with Chilliwack obtaining 11 base hits and Gibsons obtaining nine base hits. Gibsons who won 14 to 13.

The semi-final game between Gibsons and Revelstoke was another tough game for Gibsons. At the end of five innings, the score was 2 -2. Grant Lilley pitching the seventh inning struck out the first three batters to end the game with a score of Gibsons 5, Revelstoke 2. The final game pitted Gibsons against the only team we losl to - Westside - who beat Newton in their semi-final. Westside was surprised to encounter a different team lhan they firsl met. Gibsons was up for this game, spirits were high and Westside had problems batting against out first pitcher Jody Underwood who struck out six of 15 batten allowing two base hits and one run in Ihe first four innings. At the end of six innings, Gibsons led Westside 8 to 3. During the top of the seventh, Westside obtained a double play on Gibsons and won an appeal over one of our runners missing a base. This encouraged the Westside team. Their first batter scored a base hit from our pitcher Grant Lilley. Their second batter hit to Ryan Swanson (SS) who threw the ball to Blair Chapman (2nd) for the tag at second on the runner, then Blair threw to Nick Mackay (1st) for the out on (he batter completing the double play.

The event took place the week of Aug. 6 to 13. MacDonald competed with her horse Dynamic Duplication ��� an eight-year-old brown gelding. Last year was MacDonald's first time competing in the world championship. While she didn't pick up a prize, she did gain the experience and confidence to attend this year's show and place in the top ten, said MacDonald's mother, Wendy MacDonald. The world-championship Jenny MacDonald competition is an invitational event. Approximately 1,700 competitors, aged 19 and under, competed for 30 world championship titles as well as prizes. Each competitor in the event was required to earn a predetermined number of points at American Quarterhorse Association-approved shows earlier in the year before coming to Texas. Wendy MacDonald said her daughler will continue to compete in other equestrian events throughout the rest of the riding season. She has three shows in B.C. and Washington in September. In October she will travel to Columbus, Ohio, and, in November, to Oklahama City. In an earlier interview, MacDonald said she has been riding quarterhorses since she was 12- years-old. She said she prefers the breed to others because of the animal's versatility in a variety of events including jumping, racing and showing in both English and western riding styles. |l( SUSSEX REALTY The TOP SELLING OFFICE N GIBSONS (MUL7PL��/jS7����L��4DER��SuU��S(rHO��CS4ft)C��l^ Notice Board Oitoiai tvnU Ml bt .fd.lt* wesalMy We totrve Ihe right lo edit submissions tot brevity All submissions should refer to non-profit events of genuine communily intereii Hems will be listed Ihree weeks prior lo the evenl DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS WEDNESDAY NOON FOR MONDAY DISTRIBUTION MONDAY, AUOUST 2t Fibromyalgia Aisoclttlon of I.C.

Kayaking the "Chuck": adventure or stupidity? by Keith Thirkell Long time Egmont fisherman Billy Griffith can'l understand why sane people would go near the Skookumchuck rapids with kayaks. "Only fools and people who want to die young are crazy enough lo get in small boats and play around in those rapids; just iasl year someone died doing it." Griffith says even large boats with tons of power slay clear of the rapids when they'rerunning. "I've seen huge gravel barges go by upside down and as far as I know there's three barges that've gone down all together. "People who fool around oul there are asking for trouble; the water underneath is totally unpredictable and sometimes moves in the opposite direction from the water on top." But it's exactly this lure of danger and excitement that is making the Skookumchuck a hot spot for adventure-seeking tourists from all over the world. David Cooks, from Shasta California, who calls himself an 'outdoor educator,' says shooting the Skookumchuck rapids is right up there with some of Ihe best Whitewater kayak rivers in North America. And Cooks should know... He's shot most of them. Cooks along wilh Iwo other Americans and two New Zealanders spent a couple of days lasl week testing them selves against the juggernaut of tidal water that surges through the Skookumchuk. "We read about these rapids in a Whitewater guide book and it was irresistible. It's a lot different than a river. I think the conditions of the water are more uncertain than a river but probably safer," Cooks remarked. "And with every incoming tide the water and wave conditions are different; it's greal. You can get some amazing len fool standing waves and Iota of boils and holes lhal could suck a boat down in seconds." But Cooks says safely is paramount and they are prepared. Cooks is a professional guide and doesn't recommend inexperienced kayakers go any where near the 'Chuck'. Cooks says the chuck is a jewel and he'll be back with lots of friends. And of coarse that bodes well economically for Egmont and the Coast. "I bet we each spent a couple of hundred (J.S. dollars up here," Cooks remarked. And the day before he said a similar group of German kayakers did the same.

Thirteen year old Kristen Horvath of Gibsons was the winner last week in The Province Trivial Pursuit Contest, winning for himself a portable colour TV and the latest edition of the Trivial Pursuit Game. 10 YEARS AGO The regional board of directors expressed concern at its meeting of August 23 that the provincial government had altered its approach to funding planning programs resulting in a shortfall for the Sunshine Coast of $11,000 to $25,000. Last Thursday, during the course of the senior men's regular play, saw a hole-in-one for Jim Gilchrist on Number 8. This was the first ever for Jim after 40 years of golf - so the rest of us can take heart! 15 YEARS AGO Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club proposes that the regional board should turn over 45 acres of Cliff Gilker Park for the expansion of golfing facilities. Two lightening strikes start a small forest fire in the Ruby Lake vicinity. A five man crew from Pender Harbour Forest Service brought the fire under control the same day. 25 YEARS AGO Sechelt Waterworks claims the regional dislricl has no right to expropriate its water system. Principal T.G. Elwood informs parents of high school students by letter of the need for Elphinstone secondary school to go on shift system because the facilities are inadequate. 35 YEARS AGO The contract has been let for the construction of the new RCMP building in Gibsons. The Coast News carried a picture of the Johnson twins of Sechelt, Ron and Roger, who were awarded medals for service with Ihe United Nations Expeditionary Force in the Gaza strip.

In a June 16 letter from Art Charbonneau, Minister of Education, to Board Chairman Pal Stuart, Charbonneau said, "The grant adjustment will be deducted from your regular June 30, 1994 payment. I understand the adjustment may cause the district to incur a 93/94 operating deficit If this is the case, approval is granted for the board to incur a 93/94 operating deficit in the amount of $250,000 on condilion that the deficit is retired by the end of Ihe 1995/96 fiscal year." Charbonneau also advised Stuart that the district could appeal the audit. Both Olsen and Strand said the union negotiating team which agreed to the June lay offs as an 'eleventh hour' measure, were unaware that the board had approval to carry Ihe deficit until the end of the 95/96 fiscal year. When asked why the district laid off workers and cut back hours when they didn't have to this year, treasurer Tim Anderson said, "We were being fiscally responsible." Anderson acknowledged the district has appealed the audit and that the appeal will be conducted by an independent consultant early in September. He denied rumours that the board or administration had received a 12 per cent increase this year. "There is a lol of sabre-rattling going on out there." He also thought binding arbitration would be a 'lose- lose' situation for everyone. Both Strand and Olsen feel that some district trustees are unaware of the total scope of problems in the stalled talks. Olsen said, "A lay-off is only justified if there isn'l enough work, and that isn't the problem here. We're not even asking wage parity with other districts, who have settled their contracts without these kinds of problems. Burnaby gol 5.8% over two years and their starling wages are $1.50 to $3.50 more per hour than we have here. Most full-time SETA's here don't make more than $19,000 a year, and this summer 10 of them had Iheir working hours reduced from 50 hours a month to 20. We're worried that cuts like this will mean a decline in service."

About 10 lo 15 people attend the clinic each week - most of them young women in their teens or early twenties. In comparison, the nearby Howe Sound area - which doesn't have a Planned Parenthood program - has almost twice the leen pregnancy rate of ihe Sunshine Coast. Still, "I think the fact that we have a teen pregnancy rate means we have more work to do," says Martiquet. "...It's almost one woman in every classroom at school." Although the government report recommends birth control pills be available without a prescription, Martiquet says he's not sure that's a good idea, because of possible side effects. He agrees with the report, however, that rising costs of contraceptives are a problem for many women, and efforts are needed to subsidize them. Martiquet says he also thinks condoms should be available free in high school washrooms. The issue of condom machines in high schools has been a controversial one in the community, because the attitude still exists on the part of some parents that "our kids aren't having sex," says Martiquet. More recently, though, there's been a growing awareness thai "when kids say they want condoms in their high school washrooms, there's a reason for lhat." Strike to continue at Lafarge Concrete by Darah Hansen Nothing's changed in the strike al Egmont's Lafarge Concrete Ltd. The 20 workers who walked off the job in mid May of this year are still on the picket lines outside the plant. "Il's not going well," Bill Baron, representative for the International Union of Operating Engineers, said in reference to Ihe talks between Lafarge officials and Ihe striking employees. Baron declined detailed comment on the stale of current negotiations. He said the union and company officials have met several times since the strike bul to no avail. "I'm less than enthusiastic (about the talks)," Baron said. He said a strategy is in the works to get a deal worked out but refused lo discuss what those plans included. Phone calls to a Lafarge company spokesman John Van Koll were not returned by press time. 'It's not going well' ���Bill Baron The Lafarge workers began seniority. their strike action in mill May, 1994 after working without a contract for 18 months. Their union has been asking the company lo maintain the conditions of their previous collective agreement, which expired Jan. 1, 1993. But Lafarge is looking to change its operations at the plant and those changes, according to Baron, have employees fearing a ______ considerable decrease in their annual take home pay. In an earlier interview, the Coast News reported the primary issues in Ihe Lafarge labour action were around overtime and the re-classification of jobs. At that lime, union shop steward Tony Nesman said the company had proposed a 24 hour work schedule with no overtime on weekends, except after eight hours. He said Lafarge was also considering upgrading job requirements for unskilled labour - a move which would directly impact employee ATTENTION STUDENTS!
