LEGISLATIVE CiBRARY Parnament Buildings VICTORIA, B.C. V8V1X4 85A, Creek unprotected Fire truck recovered The Sunshine Coast Regional District has received a letter from the Roberts Creek Volunteer Fire Department, in which they are advised that the department can no longer offer effective fire protection until such time as the 1500 gallon tanker, stolen on the morning of October 7, can be replaced. The tanker truck was found in a gravel pit at Pender Harbour on Monday; this means that the Roberts Creek area was without adequate protection from the time of theft. The Gibsons Volunteer Fire Department has been in contact with chairman Jim Gurney, and has offered to lend the RCVFD their small pumper truck. This offers some small measure of protection to residents. Information received by the Coast News reports that the truck was seen weaving up Mason Road between three and four on Sunday morning, with the siren emitting beeping noises. Unfortunately the theft had not yet been reported and this lead was not followed. The damages sustained during the theft are mechanical, leading to some insurance difficulties. However, the RCVFD does keep excellent maintenance records, as assistant secretary- treasurer Mike Phelan pointed out, and this may help with the claims. The board will be seeking up-to-date information on the investigation from the RCMP. Vandals made off with the Roberts Creek Volunteer Fire Depart- . ment's tanker truck early last Sunday morning after smashing windows to gain entry to the firehall. The tanker was located by B.C.'s most valuable resource helicopter Thanksgiving Monday afternoon near a Pender Harbour gravel pit, having sustained enough mechanical damage to put it out of operation. RCMP investigation continues. -janeMcouaiphoio Herbicide spray in Egmont area Forest waste charged by John Burnside Mackenzie MLA Don . -Lockstead is at the centre of a ; growing controversy over -timber utilization in his sprawling coastal constituency. Under the date of September 27, Lockstead wrote to forestry minister Tom Waterland about. ;M the Jvaste offelled timber in Kimsquit Valley at the head of Dean Channel approximately 50 kilometres northeast of Bella Coola. The letter details concerns about an estimated eight millon board feet of timber some of which is alleged to have been on the ground for as much as six years and is reported to be rotting and wasted. "To make matters worse," says Lockstead, "the company (Doman's) is now highgrading timber for export on other cutting blocks in the valley and hauling these new logs through the wood left on the ground." The MLA noted the irony of the public resource being wasted while small logging operators in the Bella Coola area and elsewhere are being 'squeezed with fewer cutting permits each year'. Lockstead has demanded an ' independent commission of inquiry, suggesting that similar waste and mismanagement is occurring elsewhere in the constituency of Mackenzie. A local man who shares Lockstead's concerns is David Scott, a boomman at Andy's Bay through which sorting grounds go the bulk of the logs cut on the west coast. Scott is also a board member of IWA Local 1-71 representing workers in the woods industries from Port Atkinson to Alaska including the north half of Vancouver Island. "If you are a logger or a boomman," says Scott, "business is still fairly good. It's what happens after the logs are down that is the problem, though if you leave logs rotting in the bush a lot of logging jobs , are lost too." ;. In an interview last week MScott pointed out that the bulk of logs sorted at the booming ground where he works used to go to Fraser Valley sawmills. "In thejlast few years," says Scott, "there has been a tremendous increase in log exports. We are shutting down sawmills in B.C. and exporting whole logs to Japan and increasihgiy to China. What it means is that we are laying off secondary workers here and exporting jobs to Asia." A statistical table compiled by the Council of Forest Industries indicates that there has been since 1974 approximately a 300 per cent increase in the ex port of raw logs from British Columbia, the majority going to Japan and China though many are also exported to U.S. sawmills. "The people of B.C. have to be aware," says Scott, "that the export of raw logs is contributing to the destruction of the social fabric of the province. Thecuts*ih^UcsitidnT in the health service, in social services are in part caused by the export of our best logs and the waste of others. We are laying off most of our secondary industry. Where do the taxes come from for our social services if no. one is working? The fact of the matter is that the largest wealth- producing industry in this pro- vince is being rapidly destroyed." Scott pointed to reports that ventory they'll be able to set the prices we can charge in the future." Scott charged that what are being exported are the best logs left in the province. "They're taking out the beautiful stuff and leaving the rest to rot, meanwhile woods employees ���'���the-. Japanese in particular -are;-.^^��re.Qn UIC and y/elfare an now stockpiling the raw logs "' ihg; their houses." ~~<~-- ..> which they are buying. "They \ Scott also challenged the are said to be storing them in validity of the provincial peat moss and fresh water government's claim that stump- ponds. With that growing in- age , charge are being levied whether felled timber is harvested or not. "It's not enough even if they are collecting stumpage charges," said Scott. "The resource is being wasted or exported raw and the future well- being of this province is being jeopardised. If we can't saw them up here let's leave them where.they are. We are filling the pockets of the timber companies without any of the wealth from a public resource going to the people of the province," The recent appeal by Egmont residents Iris and Billy Griffith against aerial spraying of 2,4-D herbicide in the Earl Creek area by the ministry of forests has been turned down by the Pesticide Appeal Board. The spraying has now, been completed. Mrs. Griffith told the Coast News that the summary reason for refusing the appeal, as cited in a letter from the appeal board, was that "the implementation of the (spraying) program will not cause an unreasonable adverse effect to mankind and/or the environment". .^ P^ticulalreasons,cited, were streams in the area were little more than draingage ditches; no. fish were in the streams; any 2,4-D reaching salt water would be in negligible amounts; bees kept nearby were not threatened as birds and animals tend to avoid sprayed areas; no one lives closeby. Sechelt forest district manager Barrie Custance recently confirmed that herbicide spraying by backpack and power mister has also been completed on forestry lands in areas near Piper Point, Hillside, Hudson Creek and Killam Bay. A second appeal, against aerial spraying in the Brittain River drainage area, has been launched by the Sunshine Coast Environment Protection Project, and several interesting points have come to light because of it. As it currently stands, public notice of an application to apply herbicides is given after the application has been approved and a permit issued. The public has approximately 14 days in which to file an appeal The permit has already been issued, however, and according to Barrie Custance, "The head of the appeal board can but doesn't necessarily put a freeze on spraying when an appeal is launched." , Custance indicated it was one of those* gray areas iri which forestry is never sure if it can go ahead and spray or not, but "I have the impression we could". With regards to the Brittain River appeal, because the permit is for both aerial and backpack spraying and the appeal is against only aerial spraying, the appeal board advised forestry to hold off only the aerial spraying and to proceed applying herbicides by backpack. However, because of the lateness of the season, the vegetation had already begun turning and would not respond as well to herbicide treatment, so backpack spraying will also be held off, probably until next summer. Clubhouse proposed Father James R. Roberts will give a talk entitled "Ethical Reflections on Economic Crisis" in Gibsons elementary school gym on Friday, October 19, at 7:30 p.m. Father Roberts' visit is sponsored by the Solidarity Coalition of which he has been a member since early in 1983. On Saturday morning Father Roberts will hold a workshop on the Bishops' Report in Elphinstone lunchroom from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Dog control question to go before voters A delegation from the Gibsons Rugby and Athletic Club was the highlight of last Wednesday's Planning Committee meeting at the Gibsons council chambers. Representing the club, and well-prepared with plans and information on the proposed clubhouse at Brothers Park, were Geoff Powers, John Sutherland and Leif Mjanes. Because this park is a multi- use facility there are plenty of problems to be ironed out, and before the delegation proceeded with their major presentation it was agreed that members of all participating sports should be invited to a meeting where ideas could be aired and a plan devised which would suit everybody. Said planner Rob Buchan, "We have to come up with the best marraige we can of all these requirements. To make plans pre-supposing their ideas and needs...could lead to the alienation and polarization of all the groups." The delegation then went on to show the proposed clubhouse plans, including washrooms, change rooms, caretaker suite and clubrooms. The club, presently using facilities at Armours Beach, sees their major, and welcome, obligation to the community as one of providing washrooms and changerooms as soon as possible. To this end their clubhouse plans include such facilities on the ground floor, easily built before the addition upstairs, of clubrooms, Please turn to page 13 At last Thursday's Sunshine Coast Regional Board meeting a report was made to the board by the Dog Control Committee chairman, director Jon McRae, assisted by director John Burnside. Although there are several points to be considered were the board to take on the function of animal control, the first concern, said director McRae, is "do the people want this dog control?". To -this end, it was suggested that a question be included on the ballot in the fall elections to be held in areas B, D and F. This would be a non-binding referendum, but would give the board a good idea of local support. The question would read along the lines, "Would you favour the SCRD acquiring the function of animal control and be prepared to pay for this function?" As for costs, director McRae gave figures of $7 per household and $4 per vacant lot, annually. Even if the support came mainly from one area, such as area D, where the problem appears to be most severe, it would certainly be possible that a piece-meal application of the function could be applied. This would be with the co-operation of the present Gibsons shelter, and the SCSPCA, to whom this information has also been forwarded: mJM|UKi^JUmtaKmtSrhMmMatamJ, I uliFAl") Tr^������"~ -���-:-" i Biinti 11��� b�� m ���������������^������������������rn'iiiMwwwaa'WBmBii'm^^ -m*.rti*il'*��rmig*rexwr; r������*-*���*���*** -i ^���'���^ti^m Recent storms accompanied by high winds uprooted this tree in Lee Bay and caused numerous instances of damage to floats in the Pender Harbour area.

You would understand why it's a long process. Planner Judy Skogstad's verbal presentation of the Area E technical background analysis and report (presently in draft form) complete with extensive slide presentation showing the features of Area E which were studied, was amazing to this lay person for the thoroughness and breadth of the geological survey which has been undertaken. The fact that the only way to know what kind of soils are in a region and where erosion or drainage problems occur is to walk the land and take notes and photos should in itself explain the vast amounts of time involved. And after that there is still the analysis to be done of what has been found, its implications and effects. Numerous maps have to be drawn showing where various conditions are found, and of course the report written so.that those-of us who are not planners will be able to understand what.\\ all means. And this is just the background information. Only when that is known can appropriate land uses and zonings be considered and recommended. The wishes of the residents in defining the atmosphere desired in the area must also be considered. And then the Area E settlement plan can be drawn up, to be used as a guide for future development. This mammoth amount of work is also being undertaken in Areas B and F, with a report on the latter due next. It is inconceivable that any planner with a regular workload would ever have the time to undertake such a thorough investigation while still completing his regular duties, and the fact that bits and pieces only of settlement plan work were done before regional directors hired specifically for the job is absolutely understandable. To call this hiring frivolous and unnecessary is to be blinkered to the magnitude of the task at hand, and directors are to be congratulated for their foresight in doing what was necessary to finally get the job done. To anyone frustrated by the length of time he has been waiting for his area's settlement plan, or skeptical over the extra funds allocated for the task���hold on just a bit longer. We bet you won't be disappointed. Fran Burnside 5 YEARS AGO Local writer Hubert Evans, almost 90-years of age, has just had his tenth novel released.

In cities and in compact mining and mill towns, such assemblies were easily managed. In small outlying settlements, however, these get-togethers sometimes necessitated long walks through trails and along rustic roads for some of the visitors. In any case, the distance was covered, and the home of the hostess reached..Conversation during the visit revolved about neighborhood and family happenings, conditions and tribulations. While much information that made the rounds undoubtedly constituted folk lore, time was always allotted for matters of practical consideration. Household hints of mutual benefit appeared at appropriate spots in the conversation.

Hyacinth Bay, 1915. Yeatman family photo. L. R. Peterson. Maryanne's viewpoint Who says it can't be done? by Maryanne West On the day of Pope Paul's visit to Vancouver a couple of Gibsons teachers decided on the spur of the moment that, although not Catholics they'd like to see the Pontiff. Despite warnings of the odds against success at such a late date, with no plans and no tickets they set off after school on their adventure. On the ferry they met friends who reminded them that the West Vancouver bus wouldn't be able to take them into the city centre, that they'd probably have to walk from Stanley Park, but offered th.1 possibility that friends who were meeting\ t hem might be able to help. M This proved to be the case,, and they got a ride to the SeaT( Bus terminal crossed the hap-f bour and walked up the huT towards the stadium. On Georgia Street they were assessing their prospects, so far so good - but what do we do now? - and decided they would go to B.C. Place and see what could be done for anyone without tickets. . As they walked past the Queen Elizabeth a total stranger approached and gave them tickets she couldn't use. They couldn't believe their luck. Hugging each other in excitement in they went. As the program drew to a close they began to wonder how they would get home and thought they might have to take % > a taxi to Horseshoe Bay, but wending their way out of the stadium with the crowds they met some people from the Coast contingent, who couldn't have been more helpful and quickly found room for them on one of the buses. A day or two earlier a young couple from Woodstock Ontario on holiday in Victoria had also said to each other, we are so close we really should try to see the Pontiff. There weren't any tickets left but the people at the church agreed to see if any were available elsewhere in the city. The following day they received a call that some tickets had been found and they could pick them at the Legislature. They didn't give any speciaL thought to this as,it seemed like a central place and easy for visitors to locate and they didn't remember the name of the gentleman who gave them the tickets which included a parking pass. On arrival at B.C. Place they were surprised to find their parking spot was right beside the entrance and they were treated with great deference by the staff and ushered into the section obviously reserved for VI Ps, surrounded by about 40 red-coated Mounties. Somewhat embarrassed by their casual dress they found themselves seated with senators, members of parliament and other specially invited guests in- cluding Premier Peter Lougheed and realized belatedly that they had fallen heir to tickets allotted to a member of the legislature. Remember these stories the next time you have a bright idea and everyone tells you it can't be done!

Archibald MacLeish The road to Pender Harbour by James H. Tyner The road to Pender Harbour from Secret Cove is a disgrace and the residents of Pender Harbour and Powell River should not put up with it. The 1982/83 annual report of the ministry of transportation, communications and highways indicates that there are 300 accidents in the Sechelt district (which included Pender Harbour) with one person killed and 91 injured. These statistics, although stating the facts, do not reveal the misery and broken lives that result from such accidents. The hospitals and rehabilitation centres are filled with accident victims trying to recover some form of active life. There is little doubt that the road to Pender Harbour is a major cause pf accidents. Many people drive it with fear and uncertainty expecting catastrophe at any time. This is not surprising when one considers the condition of the road. The original road to Pender Harbour was built in the 1930's by relief camp workers. As it was expected that little use would be made of this road, the government provided very little equipment or material for its construction. As a consequence the gravel road built was dangerously narrow with many blind corners and rock outcrop- pings. With ferries linking the region to Vancouver and Powell River the road could not accommodate the traffic. In summer billowing dust obscured the vision while in winter the traffic bogged down in mud. The government had to act. The road was paved but the blind corners and rock outcrop- pings remained. Later, in stages, the highways ministry widened and improved the road to Secret Cove. However, there remains that section of narrow road from Secret Cove to Pender Harbour with its many dangerous curves and blind corners. Corners with rock outcroppings are particularly dangerous for large trucks as it is difficult for them to negotiate these turns while remaining on the right side of the road. Over the years of the use of ���the road, the number of accidents causing death and permanent injury is not known but the conditions causing such accidents remain and must be eliminated. It is understood that plans for widening and improving the road to Pender Harbour are completed and ready for implementation. The residents of Pender Harbour should insist that this work be done without further delay. Not only would accidents be reduced with all their tragic consequences but distances would be shortened, fuel saved and services improved. Such improvements, of course, will not reduce traffic volume or noise. For a satisfactory highway system, not only should the present road be upgraded but traffic to Powell River should be routed along a new road from Sechelt following in the general direction of the power line back of Cecil Mountain and joining the present road near Sakinaw Lake. Such a road would shorten the distance from Powell River to Vancouver as well as improve conditions on the Pender Harbour road with reduced traffic and noise. Besides minimizing the possibility of accidents this; road would open up new land; for development and attract new residents bringing with; them the possibility of new and improved services for the area. ��� It is believed that the ministry of transportation, communications and highways has: prepared plans for such a road. The residents of Powell River and Pender Harbour should ��� urge the government to imple- '��� ment such plans. They should ' not be put off by cries of lack of money; for when we see the way that money is sometimes squandered on frivolous things there should be no question of the availability of funds. i i Last week's accident between this semi and van appeared to be caused by a third vehicle obstructing traffic on a blind corner on the Pender Harbour Road. _j,nf mcou* ph..m S����'*wi ��* '* �� Coast News, October 15,1984 rtwrnartif ��� -Js*"1** ��� ' n 'in hi f^fi-JfthiTiilnmni ose Iiii��ffiiiatl��it < gstnerlng Editor's Note: A copy of the following letter was received for publication. Mr. John Shaske, Transportation Committee Chairman Dear Sir: ; Shortly after 0830 hours on the morning of Tuesday, the second of October, I was in the company of my friend, John IVtorgan, travelling from Langdale to Horseshoe Bay aboard the M.V. Queen of Alberni. I Motivated by a previous discussion with other commuters we commenced to ask passengers if they will be inconvenienced by the proposed Change in the ferry sailing time from 0830 hours to 0900 hours. The response was very positive and it was then decided that we should draw up a list identifying those who opposed the said change, and showing the reason for their opposition. We were immediately approached by the chief steward who told us that if we did not stop and desist that he would have to tell his captain. Supported by other commuters we continued our impromptu survey but we were once again arrested in our task when, some 15 minutes later, we were interrupted by a very agitated and emotionally charged ship's captain who floundered in his own verbosity and kept making veiled threats that we would be met on the other side, (by whom we do not know), if 'we characters' did not stop our activities. After calming the captain down and admonishing him for referring to us as 'you characters' we then tried to advise him of the purpose of our actions and that we were not contravening any en- forcable laws or statutes.

Inglis RETURNING OFFICER During this 10 minutes of discourse we lost some valuable time that could have been better utilized in collecting other names. After the captain had gone back to his bridge, other commuters who had been entertain- .ed by his actions, and were now full cognizant of the purpose of our survey, came forward of their own volition and asked to sign our petition. Upon arriving at Horseshoe Bay we found that we had obtained the signatures and comments of over 70 of the passengers. I am also pleased to report that the 'bogey-man' who was supposed to meet us at the termination of our voyage never materialized. Kenneth M. King Ferry objection Editor: In response to a report in this local newspaper under Letter to the Editor, I will criticize the transportation committee on their position of reaching an understanding with the B.C. Ferry Corporation, regarding scheduling. I find it difficult to accept that a schedule that was totally inadequate one or two years ago can be acceptable today. To say that for the first time in three years there will be no reduction in sailings is hardly a positive approach and does not make a bad service better. So far as the Transportation Committee making deals at hotels in Vancouver at $37 per night (subject to availability) for local residents is concerned, that too is a negative approach because it certainly won't do a thing to improve our ferry schedule or help to broaden our Flood aid needed Editor: The recent flood in Pemberton has not only left families homeless but a lot of the farmers have lost their crops and livestock. Although the government: has stated these families will receive compensation, for most it will be a long time in coming. I was in Pemberton the weekend of the flood and although the home I was in was safe, the feeling of being trapped, of total helplessness was - with us. We could not even get out to help the people who stayed up all night to try to save their homes, only to lose them the following day. One family I know, after they lost their home, still refused to leave, they had to save their animals, so they stayed with them all night in an old barn completely surrounded by 10 feet of water.

They should hammer away at the provincial government with economic facts and maintain a consistant approach.

A second Public Hearing is being held to satisfy legal requirements and to provide a further opportunity for public input. This bylaw has undergone an extended process of referral and input and substantial changes have been made as a result of the previous Public Hearing and meetings with other agencies. Changes of general concern which have been made since the previous Public Hearing are as follows: 1. The number of dwellings per parcel, which was the single most contentious issue at the previous Public Hearing, has been addressed thus: - Previously the Residential I Zone allowed: ��� 1 dwelling per parcel - The Residential I Zone has been revised to allow: 1 dwelling per parcel on parcels less than 2,000 sq. M 1 dwelling and 1 guest house on parcels greater than 2,000 sq. M 2 dwellings per parcel on parcels greater than 3,500 sq. M - Previously the Residential II Zone allowed: 1 dwelling on parcels less than 2,000 sq. M 1 duplex or 1 dwelling and 1 guest house on parcels greater than 2,000 sq. M - The Residential II Zone has been revised to further allow: 2 dwellings on parcels greater than 3,500 sq. M 2. Changes were made to home occupation provisions: - Deleting home occupation from the Residential I Zone and replacing it with a home office provision. - Inclusion of one nonfamily employee for a home occupation. - Exclusion of metal fabricating from a home occupation. 3. Changes were made to permit vehicle repair in the Rural I Zone, subject to conditions. 4. Sawmill was added as a permitted use in the 11 Zone on parcels over 1.75 ha., subject to cond- tions. 5. The conditions of enforcement were amended to allow entry on private property only at a "reasonable time" as per the Municipal Act. 6. Oyster shucking was added to the definition of aquaculture. 7. Preschool was added to the definition of public use. 8. A preamble to the bylaw was Included to reflect the relationship between the Bylaw and the Agricultural Land Reserve and Forestry Act. Map Changes Several individual and site specific changes permitting continuation of existing permitted uses were made. Minor changes in the public assembly and Rural 3 (Agricultural Land Reserve) Zones were made to reflect recent changes in status. The most important mapping change has been the deletion of water zoning from potential resource conflict areas as requested by Forestry and Lands, Parks and Housing. The change in water zoning necessitated resubmitting the bylaw to Public Hearing. Changes requested at the previous Public Hearing but not made are: 1. Requested change to a Davis Bay propertyto permit a Pub was not made in respect to a previous Public Hearing on this matter. 2. Several nonconforming and resource related amendments requested were not made now, but will be received as separate amendments to allow specific public input. Eg. rezoning of gravel processing sites. Bylaw 264 provides a more acceptable zone for such uses. 3. Zoning to premit a fish hatchery on Chapman Creek was left unchanged to allow the project to prp: ceed. The Board endorses this new bylaw in its revised form, as we feel it accommodates as much as'possible the wishes of the residents and property owners as well as meeting the objectives and policies of senior government agencies. This new bylaw allows greater freedom and flexibility of land uses which more closely reflect the lifestyle and aspirations of the Sunshine Coast. Increased capacity to accommodate business and industry, large and small, is also provided. For these reasons the Board is anxious to see this bylaw adopted as soon as possible in order that the benefits it offers may be realized.

About 70 people attending the monthly meeting on October 1 were presented with a newsletter, and a separate page of activities to keep track of times and dates. Jim Munro was in the chair. Missing was the treasurer Jim McPeake, who has been suffering a heart condition, and it is with deep sorrow that we have learned of this death in hospital. Love and sympathy go out to his wife Cathy. Dear Jim will be greatly missed. Also on the sick list is Bill Martin, and we all pray for an early recovery.

Given under my hand at Gibsons this 15th day of October 1984. Mrs. Joan B. Rigby Returning Officer by Jeanie Parker, 886-3973 The big news in- Roberts Creed this week was^ of course, the theft of the fire truck; Stolen Saturday night of the long weekend, it was found in a Pender Harbour gravel pit by helicopter search on Thanksgiving Day. Damage was extensive to the bearings, the drive shaft, the new $14,000 pump, and possibly the transmission among other things. Only some things are covered by insurance and the truck will have to be sent to Vancouver for part of the repairs. The tanker is a vital piece of firefighting equipment, particularly above the highway and other areas where there are no fire hydrants. Fortunately fire chief Denis Mulligan was able to arrange to borrow a truck from the Gibsons department- for the interim. ��� I Police have some clues to work on to track down the culprits. Roberts Creekers already know the thieves' name: itis"MUDD". COMING MEETINGS At press time there was no guest speaker lined up for this Wednesday's Community Association meeting. However, it is expected that Brett McGillivray will be on hand to report on regional board news and to answer questions. Meeting starts at 8 p.m. at the Roberts Creek Community Hall. There's a public hearing next Monday, October 22, on the regional rezoning by-law. This extra hearing is due to the changes made after so many people complained about the restrictions on the number of dwellings per lot. The meeting is at the Roberts Creek Community hall starting at 7 p.m. It's advisable to get there on time as these things don't take long if there's no one there to ask questions or voice objections. HALLOWE'EN COMING Have you started your Hallowe'en costume yet? It's not that far off. The Roberts^ Creek Legion will be holding a dance Saturday, October 21r with "Used Guys" : so start ~ scrounging the thHff stores: ^ Sunshine Players are presenting a melodrama called "Gaslight" at the Roberts Creek Community Hall that n weekend and the next.

CADETS RECRUITING I finally found out the difference between the Navy League and Sea Cadets. The Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps is for young people age 13 to 18 and is sponsored by the Canadian Forces, even to. the extent of having uniforms supplied. The Navy League is for younger kids and has less strin- ��� gent requirements for the formation of a group. There are Navy League groups in both Gibsons and Sechelt but there are not yet enough members for a formally recognized Sea Cadet Corps. However, prospective cadets are drilling and undergoing instruction in the hope that a corps can again be formed on the Coast. The Sea Cadet Recruiting Corps meets every Thursday evening at 6 in the Roberts Creek gym to drill and learn about navigation, sailing, seamanship, and leadership. They are also receiving practical experience on the water on weekends. The Sea Cadets Corps provides good training, summer cainps, employment opportunities, and even the possibility of international travel.' The local group is looking for more recruits. Phone 886-7825 for more information. CRAFT TABLES A reminder to craftspeople to book their tables for the Roberts Creek Grafts Faire on November 25 by phoning 885-2972 or 885-5206.

The poor teenager has a hard time making choices about joining these organizations that have been arranged for them. Enough already. It is time that the teens took over their own direction. Many do not want to belong to organized anything. Just because dad or mom enjoyed doing something doesn't mean that they would enjoy it. Get your brains working. If you like playing chicken with your old man's car but he refuses to lend it, why don't you get together, fix up a wreck, and find some space (legal) and race. If you think you would like to ride horseback, work in a stable, get to know what is involved and how to care for horses* earn some money and you might buy or rent your own horse. If you want a roller-skating rink again, find out what it takes to get it going and offer to help. If you want teen dances, offer to help police them and they will happen. It is only the threat of vandalism that prevents them from happening now. You would be surprised at whan teen appeal can do. Be productive, not destructive. CORRECTION About the next seniors night at the Gypsy. I was mistaken. The date for. the dinner and musical evening there is Tuesday, October 30. Sorry. Choristers needed For the first time on the Coast there will be a. choral workshop, held at Gibsons United Church on Saturday, October 20.

There were representatives from Powell River (10), Pender Harbour (5), Sechelt, about 20 counting offical delegates as well as visitors. Also present', was our provincial president, .our own Adele DeLange who is a member of the provincial executive and who most effectively saw that we kept to the business at hand. Of provincial interest was the announcement that the provincial convention will be held at the Blue Boy Motel, Vancouver, May 12, 13 and 14. Other business was of a more routine nature. On the local scene we are awaiting the news that our financing is taking shape and we will soon be able to shot holding our breath and start breathing normally again. We have many new members and we are anxious that they should avail themselves of the opportunity to take part in our varied activities and seize the opportunity to make new friends. We look forward with pleasure to making new acquaintances. Be sure to mark your calendars and buy your tickets for the repeat concerts to be given October 20 and 27. These shows are for our building fund and I know you will enjoy the performances of these excellent local artists. They are always worth the price of admission. The title will be the "Fun of Group Singing". I am sure there will be surprises in the programs. Tickets can be secured from Len Herder, Larry Grafton, Strings 'n Things and Books & Stuff. There will be many delightful changes from the original program. We need that new hall and 'By Golly' we are going to get it.

"PROFIT THROUGH TRAINING" A Multi-Campus Post-Secondary Provincial Institute incorporated under the College and Institute Act A number of changes for all those whose telephone number starts with 886 i('��.Mi: on-; \M On October 20, Gibsons telephone exchange 886 will become part of a new digital electronic switching system which B.C.Tel is installing throughout the province. A number of changes will result from this conversion. Change #1 ��� Push button phones. If you have a push button (Touch Calling) phone and have not yet arranged with B.C. Tel for a Touch Calling line, this is a very significant change for you. You see, Touch Calling service requires special programming in an electronic exchange. This programming has already been arranged for those customers who have obtained Touch Calling service from B.C.Tel and who are now paying monthly charges for their Touch Calling facilities. After the electronic conversion, calls cannot be made from a Touch Calling telephone without this special programming in our central office equipment. To avoid any loss of service and for further details of Touch Calling rates, please call our Customer Service Office immediately at 112-986-1951 (toll free) for residential telephones or 112-687-6441 (toll free) for business telephones, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. Change #2 ��� Seven digit dialling. Also effective October 20, customers must dial all seven digits of the telephone number they wish to reach in order to complete a local call. The new electronic equipment installed will no longer permit completion of local calls when only five or six digits are dialled. Change #3 ��� Party line customers. Also effective October 20, party line customers need to dial only seven digits when calling another party on their line. The dialling code "18" should no longer be used. Changes for the better. Installation of this highly sophisticated switching equipment is a significant step towards bringing you more efficient service. It is planned that by year-end, half the phones in B.C. will be electronically controlled, and by 1985, three-quarters of all phones will be converted. This new electronic system serving Gibsons will employ digital technology which is the state-of-the-art in electronic switching systems. As you would expect, a conversion such as this is a massive undertaking. But the benefits, especially over the long run, are equally substantial. Cost control, and its ultimate effect on the rates you will pay for your phone service in the future, is the major benefit to telephone customers. For many reasons (among them maintenance efficiency, space-saving and operational reliability), electronic switching technology helps us to meet customer needs efficiently and, at the same time, to hold the line as best we can against the costs of providing service to you.

For the 14 years we have been in Gibsons that park has been little more than an eyesore, subject to all sorts of mischief and vandalism. Every effort in the past, on my part and that of the business community, to have it and the washrooms rebuilt brought forth little but negativism. Finally, by unanimous decision on the present council, as the first installment of a Gibsons Revitalization Program, it has happened. The practical design for. caretaking and the placement of flowers and shrubs make this now a beautiful, eye-catching- corner. We must extend grateful thanks to the Gibsons Garden Club for the planting and care of the plants and flowers in the park. It is a totally beautiful presentation. Thanks is also due to Neville Conway of the Coast News who donated his skills in drawing up the design of the park as it presently is and to Kevin Ryan who brought to council's attention that the provincial government's revitalization program for municipalities was still in effect. One must pay tribute also to the municipal staff, notably municipal inspector Ralph Jones, and the volunteer workers of Katimavik who in the heat of the summer did the job. Isn't it nice for a community such as ours to have toilets for public use once again? I never could agree with the suggestion that restaurants or small shops in the area should provide these facilities for the public at large. I have the feeling that as this park and these facilities fill our hearts with pride it will also deter the risk of vandalism, but should they\be threatened it behooves us all, whoever is near at hand, to be watchful and defensive. The park belongs to all of us; we must protect it. It is to be hoped that an office of the chamber of commerce will soon be constructed and occupied on the space allocated. It is a nice place for people to sit and reflect and for tourists to stop and get local information. By the way, if you haven't taken a good look at the new marina, in particular at the aesthetic treatment of the foreshore, I suggest you do so at the first opportunity. It does us proud and is another real plus for the town of Gibsons and the Sunshine Coast. tpT-v-^eja-nw p^ane^r^KfK^mQ,j^^e�� by Bill Edney "REAL WIN" K.L.D.

October J5&4flB4 mumwnnwemmmmQQi program o by Ken Dalgleish Ofra Haraoy played to a packed house at the Twilight Theatre last Thursday night and the excitement and enjoyment began even as the familiar faces we see at most cultural events were saying their greetings in the lobby. The Coast is quite starved for classical music and the young 'cellist offered a program of great variety to the satisfaction of everyone. Opening with a M contemporary Jewish folk tune, Ms. Harnoy sent a lustrous sound through the theatre which had no difficulty overpowering the well travelled little grand piano from Elphinstone. The acoustics of the Boothroyds' theatre were perfect although the piano may have been "buried" back on the stage a bit losing sound to the curtains and proscenium. By the second piece, Brahms, the audience was taken over...enthusiastically applauding between movements of the Sonata in E minor. It was this Brahms .that particularly attracted me t6 Ms. Harnoy. Exactly one year ago I heard Undercover review the international sensation Yo Yo Ma from South Korea, playing with the CBC symphony orchestra ih Ottawa. Falling across his-'cello and arching his back, laying his head far behind his chair, the mature performer hit the peaks and drained the valleys and altogether, proved why he was a "sensation". Ms. Harnoy seemed so much more personal with her music and sitting in our little community theatre I enjoyed the performance so much more than the one a year ago. I'm sure the audience enjoyed the Spanish composers the most (de Falla, Granados) with delicate pizzicatos and two oc- : tlfte slides. Popper's Dance of ifie'Efyes brought\ out gleeful murmurs as Ms. Harnoy playfully tossed her head with the frisky melody played on harmonics bf the strings. My favorite was Lucas Foss! I've not heard his music before and the clear melody lines mingling throughout Ma very complicated texture of /harmonic changes was most5 dissonant and moving. ; Alan M'Crean" Crane deserves a grand thank you for devising this concert series. As president of the Arts Council the credit is entirely his for bringing Ms. Harnoy to our community. ��� i���Notice to��� The Tiger's story Alpaca fur cdats designed at Shadow Baux Gallery in Sechelt and made in Peru were introduced fo the Coast at a fashion show held last Friday to celebrate the shop's first anniversary. ���Joan Huestis Foster photo by Betty & Perry Keller There must be a special literary quality to the air of southern Saskatchewan these days because it's the writers from those parts that have been walking off with all the governor general's medals and book prizes and drama awards. In fact, that Saskatchewan air is so influential that even the sports stars raised in thpse parts have taken to writing. Tiger: A Hockey Story was written by that son-of- Weyburn, Tiger Williams, until A fashion show delight I I' by Joan Huestis Foster At the Shadow Baux in Sechelt, colourful Linda and Jim Malloy celebrated their first anniversary in style with a stunning array of unusual original designs.

There were several individual designs of chunky brass and silver jewellery which looked much heavier than they felt, all designed by the well travelled Katannya Koly who was also the very dashing co-ordinator of the evening. Molloys have acquired exclusive local rights to Alpaca furs from South America. They send their designs down to Peru and. the furs are sent back. Mostly white, some; with browii, trim, all very cozy and comfortable. The models exhibited clever use of scarves and jewellery combined with the totally relaxed comfort of glamourous jogging and jump suits.' (Really more for at home than the highway.) And in this year of the vest there were vests quilted by Linda Malloy into gorgeous flowered patterns which are beautifully practical and warm. Often it is the unbridled enthusiasm which draws me to the expanding Malloy enterprise as much as the clever original thought that goes into everything they do. Their joy at marketing the work of local and distant artisans is contagious and their energy is formidable. Allen film at Centre Zelig, the chameleon man, has arrived to challenge all who have prepared to bury Woody Allen once and for all. Zelig is Allen's 1983 film of the non-entity who was endowed with the involuntary ability to change into those with whom he associated. The film is in part a parody of those beloved old newsreels with their settled view of a world in which America could do not wrong. Andrew Sarris (Village Voice) said, "It is hot often that this jaded reviewer steps into a screening room without the slightest idea of what is to befall him. Zelig turned out to be one of those rare occasions and the sheer audacity and ingenuity of the execution filled me with a perpetually bubbling merriment." Zelig will be shown at the Arts Centre on Wednesday, October 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $3.50 for adults.

It's an informative book; even for people who are not hockey addicts���and neither of us are���because it's a great success story, the victory of a guy with limited education and talent in a tough business. Tiger Williams was not brilliant in school; he knew that if he was going to get anywhere, "it wasn't going to be through a schoolbook". And he wasn't a fantastically great hockey player, but "hockey fighting was a natural thing" for him. He came by his fighting instincts through his father, a tough Welshman who wbrked atWeyburn's mental hospital, and who in his spare time taught his sons to fight to win. Whenever his father drove Tiger's Bantam team home from a game they had lost, he would punish them by refusing to turn on the heater in the bus. While it's pretty-hard to look at a guy like Tiger Williams, whose role in hockey is to maim the other players, as a hero, Tiger: A Hockey Story does make his personality understandable. And while neither of us are willing to concede that any real "sport" should Ijroutinely result in broken bones * and gaping ^wounds, we found ourselves quite taken with this fighter, with his' stern self- discipline and his obsession with success. Most bf the credit for this sympathetic portrait, however, probably has to go to James Lawtpn, the Vancouver Sun sports columnist who shaped this book, wrote the introductions to each chapter, and edited Williams' narrative down to manageable size. The book he has produced is easy to read and definitely provocative. We recommend it for Christmas giving to the hockey buffs on your lists.

In reviewing these characters, real and imaginary, I can unhesitatingly state that there is one who stands out and predominates over all the others; one who since my earliest recollection has been with me and who has had a profound effect on my life. In a way I suppose I should be grateful to have met him. He has led me over the years through many foreign lands' and I have seen and done so many things that would have been undreamed of and impossible had I not had him at my side. I will introduce you to this gentleman - his name is John Barleycorn and, were the whole story told, I am certain that I am far from being along in having had him as a companion during these wild and boisterous years that comprise one man's journey through life. I met him, as I have recounted in a former article, at quite an early age when I was still a schoolboy, around 14-years of age. My father was a grocer and provision merchant in a little town in Kent, England and, as part of his services to his customers, he had a wine and spirits licence and a reasonably well-stocked wine cellar in the basement of the store. Little did I realize at the time that, at the instigation of some of the older boys when I stole a bottle of port wine during the noon break from school, by this one simple act I was committed for life. For better for worse, as it proved, to be, I had "a monkey on my back" and, except for brief periods of time when I made some futile attempt to get rid of him, he has clung there tenaciously ever since; a sum total of 63 years. I am not able or willing at this time to get down in detail all the aspects of our stormy relationship, but I can with complete honesty say that most of the major calamities that have befallen me have been brought about while under this influence and there are times, when I examine some of the physical scars on my person and attempt to assess the mental ones, that I marvel I am still alive.. Perhaps I should make it clear right now that I am not proselytizing for a prohibition against liquor, nor have I any intention at the moment of join- . ing the WCTU or any other movement that would ban its use. It would be an infringement of other individuals' rights to attempt to do so, but what I am saying and i believe it implicitly, is that my life would have been a far different one and possibly an easier one had I not been led along many garden paths by my so-called friend J.B. I am positive that that condition has applied to the many hundreds, thousands or millions of men and women who have been seduced by this smooth and efficient betrayer and who, like myself, were completely innocent of just what they were doing when they took the first sip of whatever booze the gentleman was offering at the time. I have read most of Jack London's works, but the one that in my opinion stands out over all the others is his autobiographical account of this association with the same John Barleycorn and is titled as such. How I envy his gift of expression and wish I had only a fragment of this genius and honesty in describing the part that booze played in his life and, ultimately, in its tragic end. Apparently, from what I read later, his publishers were dead set against this particular book and used every device and influence they could muster in order to discourage him from either writing it or putting it into print but, being jack London and at the peak of his fame, he insisted that they go ahead and a limited edition was issued. I have never read anything like it nor do I expect to again. He spells it all out as only he can and makes it undeniably clear that, in retrospect, it is not a matter of what one ought to have done, or ought to do, or ought not to do - it is what one does do. That is the everlasting, irrefragable fact. In life, like Jack London, I did just what I did' and all the regrets and recriminations at this stage can- O BCFGRRIGS WINTER 1984/85 Schedule Revision Effective Monday, October 22,1984 to Wednesday, June 19,1985 inclusive: VANCOUVER - SECHELT PENINSULA HORSESHOE BAY-LANGDALE Lv.

As Omar Khayyam in his Rubaiyat so aptly puts it: "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it." To tell you the truth, I don't know why I have written this bloody article nor do I expect to accomplish anything. I am not preaching or moralizing - far from it. Everyone lives their lives, or should do, as they see fit and that is the way it should be. Each and every one of us has to work out his own destiny and, when the final count is taken, it doesn't matter what path one has trod so long as it hasn't hurt other people too badly. If I had a wish that was practical and not just wishful thinking, it might be that, had I to live it all over again, I could do so without John Barleycorn as my companion, mentor and guide. It is entirely possible that without his help in beclouding what little brain I was in posssession of, I might have made wiser decisions and acted accordingly. I want you to take note of the fact that the key word here is "might"! RV SPECIALS GOING HUNTING? GOING FISHING?

Canada is the world's leading exporter of pulp and paper, supplying one- third of total world exports. After the United States, it is the world's second largest producer. The competitive drive of the Canadian pulp and paper industry, along with its experienced and skilled workers, have helped make Canada a force to be reckoned with in world markets. Today, our leadership position is being challenged. Swedes, Americans, Brazilians and others, eager for their share of the market, have stepped up their production capacity. A new competitive environment has emerged, and Canadian producers must be more vigilant than ever before. Producers who keep their costs at competitive levels will thrive, gain efficiency, attract new investment, grow with the market, and keep on providing jobs. That's how winners and losers are sorted out in the pulp and paper business. Over the next 15 years, an increase of 70 million tonnes in world consumption of pulp and paper is expected. What will Canada's share be? This growth presents important opportunities for Canadian producers, and for Canada in terms of jobs, income, new investment, and exports. Our industry is poised to meet this challenge. The Canadian pulp and paper industry has been our country's main economic engine for decades, contributing more to Canada's balance of payments than any other sector of the economy. It can continue to provide Canadians with the economic and social benefits that flow from a thriving industry. Through dedication, higher productivity, aid the ability to meet the challenge of cost competitiveness, pulp and paper can remain the spearhead of Canada's well-being.

The old saying that the RCMP always get their man certainly comes to mind following the results of the Sechelt RCMP's recent investigations into a rash of break and entries that had been plaguing Sechelt and areas since the beginning of September. The concentrated efforts of a few of the regular members of the Sechelt detachment and the general assistance of all was credited for the successful outcome of five separate investigations into break and entries of premises located in Sechelt, West Sechelt, Porpoise Bay, Madeira Park, Davis Bay and Nelson Island. An adult male from Pender Harbour, arrested on October 6 was responsible for the greatest number of break-ins and thefts. The man was arrested on Nelson Island after police received several reports of break and entry from Quarry Bay on Nelson Island. At the time, it appeared that only five summer homes had been entered; from those, food stuffs, liquor, assorted household items, a boat and a motor had been stolen. One of the cabins belonged to a member of the RCMP from Vancouver who flew over to Nelson Island with a friend in order to check things out. The men noticed that a camp had been set up near the beach on the island and stopped to look around; they recognised several items that had been reported as stolen, arrested a suspect, brought him back to Sechelt for questioning and discovered an outstanding warrant against him for parole violation. Subsequently, six more break and entries of summer homes were reported from Nelson Island. The suspect, who is also believed to be responsible for several break and entries reported from the Madeira Park area between September 16 and October 5, will appear in the Secheit Provincial Court this week. All the articles reported stolen from Nelson Island have been recovered. A Sechelt juvenile male has also been arrested in connection with break and entries which occurred in the West Sechelt area early in October. The youth is also believed to be responsible for several thefts from boats moored in Porpoise Bay. B.C. & Yukon An adult female from Sechelt has been charged with break, entry and theft following in- vestigaion into the break-in of Pacifica Pharmacy on September 19. Of the large quantity of drugs stolen from the drugstore by the woman, most was recovered. A Sechelt man has been taken into custody as a suspect into the break-in of the B.C. Forestry offices on September 25. Finally, another Sechelt man, Andrew Bilious, has been charged with breaking into the Beach Buoy three times over a period of two weeks. Each time, Bilious stole small quantities of" food. GIBSONS RCMP The Roberts Creek Fire Hall was broken into on October 7 and a fire truck was stolen. The truck was later recovered in Madeira Park. Some mechanical damage was done to the motor. SECHELT RCMP Two break and entries were reported. On October 10, a garage located on Wharf Street was entered and a chain saw was stolen. On October 11, the Foster Care department of highways premises in Madeira Park was entered and a large quantity of tools was stolen. On October 9, a $900 underwater camera was reported stolen from a boat moored in Madeira Park. The theft could have occurred in July. Arson is suspected in a fire which destroyed a vacant house located on Porpoise Bay Road. Oily rags were found near the house. Happy fortieth anniversary to the celebrated voyage of the St. Roch through the Northwest Passage in 1944. The St. Roch was an RCMP patrol boat constructed in 1928 by the Burrard Dry Dock Company of Vancouver and became the "floating detachment" of the Canadian north, carrying supplies to remote RCMP posts and patrolling the western AR- tic waters. The St. Roch sailed into world history on October 16, 1944, when it arrived in Vancouver after completing the first two-way voyage of the Northwest Passage, from the Pacific to the Atlantic and back again. The St. Roch is now on permanent display at the Vancouver Maritime Museum. * You can make a difference. Parents needed Super mobile home and real estate for sale, perfect location.

Social worker Therese Egan has been assigned the task of recruiting foster parents and developing a training program and support services to assist them in doing what she calls "a very special job". Egan says that many people think of fostering as "taking a child into your home and treating him the same as your own". While this statement reflects a willingness to accept a child into one's family, it also reveals a basic misunderstanding of fostering. Caring for someone else's child is not the same as caring for one's own. Children in care have special needs. They have experienced traumatic separation and loss. They are likely to have experienced other difficulties before leaving their homes. Most foster children, because of past experiences, have a greater than average need for attention, affection and guidance, and may require more understanding and patience than is usually required of parents. In recruiting foster parents Egan is looking for warm, loving and accepting people with a capacity to give much and expect few immediate rewards.. In most cases, being a foster parent means giving the best parenting care to a child who is unable to live with his family for a time���while never losing sight of the importance of the child's natural family. However close the bonds to a foster child, foster parents have to be willing to let him go at some point and help him re-unite with his family. In the meantime, if you are interested in learning more about fostering you are invited to an information meeting on the evening of October 25.

The recently completed analysis, in draft form, was supplemented by an extensive slide presentation showing examples of the conditions referred to in the study, and by a series of maps showing where such conditions are found. Geological areas investigated included types of soils and associated drainage problems; location of rock outcroppings; slope of the land and low-lying areas; watercourses and underground drainage; hazardous land conditions; types of ground cover.

Room for optimism Child services concern by Dianne Evans As restraint becomes a way of life and government spending is cut even more, many are concerned that inevitable moves torwards the privatization of government services will lead to a lowering of standards in the interests of profit-making. �� 1 i m m m m Let's go to the movies, at home!

Last week I spoke with Mr. Dave Mewhort, president of the Federal of Private Child Care Agencies of British Columbia, (FPCCABC) about the federation and what recent developments have taken place within the field. Dave Mewhort The FPCCABC emerged early in 1980, its purpose to "foster the highest possible standards of residential care and rehabilitation "for children in the pro- Jade Palace f f g (_\ Restaurant DAILY LUNCH SPECIAL 1.

There are 25 member agencies, representing all types of residential services for children in B.C., including those for the mentally retarded, physically handicapped, emotionally disturbed and so on. All but one are run by non-profit societies. A recent development has been the ratification of the FPCCABC's "Standards of Children's Residential Care Facilities". These standards are to be promoted in the private sector, province wide. The government has recently transferred the operation of virtually all residential facilities to the private sector, somewhat hastily, according to Mr. Mewhort, but these new standards will help to iron out the problems and improve care. Copies of the standards have been sent to the ministries involved in the care of children, those of education, health, human resources and the attorney general. The response, though informal as yet, has been very encouraging. Said Mr. Mewhort, "I'm optimistic that together we can adopt a mutually acceptable set of standards of care and the means by which to encourage and monitor them." What this move means for the hundreds of children in the care of private agencies throughout B.C. is that they will be assured of a uniform, minimum standard of care, no matter how remote their facility. Guidelines cover areas of organization and management, administrative practices, personnel policies, the physical plant, and programming for the children in care. In the past there were very few guidelines for the quality or type of care; it frequently depended on the ideas of the regional managers, who differed considerably. Most other provinces have a set of standards; up until now, our children have not enjoyed this safeguard. I asked Mr. Mewhort how these standards will be enforced. He told me that Phase II of the project is now under way, and the implemenation and tools for measuring the standards will be ironed out by the end of the federation's fiscal year. He sees the government still playing an important role in child care in B.C. "The government should maintain a high level of accountability and remain involved in planning and overseeing the provision of social services for all people." tion, amount, type and use of commercial lands in the region; location, amount, type and density of residential lands; location of historical, scientific, recreational and agricultural lands. The report made comment on the sequence of future urban development, and on the future need for schools, parks, beach access, play areas, added fire protection, and a solid waste disposal system. "It is important to think of what you have as a resource," Skogstad noted early in her presentation when describing the variety of the area, which included the flora and fauna of woodlands, benchlands, shore and ocean. Vegetation is highly related to drainage, she pointed out, as it both consumes moisture and retards run-off. She considered the service/industrial area at Pratt Road and Highway 101 "not in harmony with the rest of the area", and assessed that further commer-. cial development in area E was both "unwarranted and unnecessary", as such needs are filled in nearby Gibsons. Besides logging and fishing, both of which occur outside the area, the only resource industry in area E is aggregate extraction, "a consumption, not a use of land". Potential was noted in the field of growing berries and soft fruits, for which the good soils and climate are highly suited. While the area appears to have a rural character, Skogstad noted that many lots which have been sub-divided have not yet been developed, arid if they were, the appearance of the area would change significantly. Of the 1,273 lots in area E, almost 60 per cent (760) are less than half an acre. Of these, over half of the quarter acre lots and 44 per cent of the lots between a quarter and a half -acre are undeveloped. Most important to the area is theMneed for a comprehensive drainage study, said Skogstad, noting that foreshore waters are already contaminated from urban run-off. If septic tanks are to remain the primary method of sewage treatment, the report notes that a quarter acre should be the minimum lot size, but that third acre lots, would be preferable, and some areas presently zoned third acre really should have a two and one half acre minimum size due to poor drainage conditions.
