For report on the festivities see Page 15. ���Ken Collins photo At Gibsons Counci Cottage industry debated by Joel Johnstone An incomplete, nonfunctioning bylaw still had enough intent within-one of its sections to deny a Gibsons woman a license to operate a business in her home. Because a clause in proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaw 555-5 would not allow 'home occupation' businesses to offer personal services or the retail of goods not manufactured on the premises, Gibsons Council refused to grant the license and have imposed a moratorium upon all applications contravening the byiaw's section affecting cottage industries. Existing Bylaw 350 did not require business license applications to be brought before council, but Building Inspector Ralph Jones presented it for consideration due to the fact the new by-law would not allow it. Town Administrator Lorraine Goddard said it was within council's powers to deny the license and impose the moratorium put forward as a motion by Alderman Bob Maxwell. Maxwell said "I concur with the intent of Bylaw 555-5," but with the present application in mind both he and Alderman Norm Peterson voiced concerns about denying the license because of Bylaw 350. Home occupation businesses currently operating would, even with the inception of 555-5, be allowed to continue. Mayor Diane Strom said, "The planner is trying to bring about a compromise where cottage industry is not in conflict with commercial business and both can still thrive." Peterson told council the section "may be a little too heavy on home occupation. There's quite a few things that it hampers and it might be a little too discriminating." y The main thrust of Bylaw 555-5 pWi)^vherf.>tQ^nliibit the. , height of structures within the ' town and set vertical height limitations on developments such as verandas extending out from buildings built on slopes. Planner Rob Buchan stated in highlights of the bylaw he submitted: "The potential impact of this relatively short bylaw should not be underestimated, and it is therefore worth reviewing..." Later, Buchan said there should be additions to the home occupation section stating which personal services are affected because, as it stands now, it covers everything from masseurs to beauticians, doctors to dentists."you name it it covers a wide field. A key issue creating the Please turn to page 22 Towards the deficit St. Mary's to seek part of premier's plum by Joel Johnstone ;; Looking to save what little remains of their working capital, St. Mary's Hospital will seek a piece of $20 million in hospital- deficit-aid created by the provincial government. Though the aid was only recently announced and the commision to regulate the monies has yet to swing into full operation, this money is what the hospital hopes will save them from total depletion of their working capital - money used to pay wages and provide day-to-day services. ;7 "We haven't heard anything directly about that ($20 million) at all," says Ted Wright, administrator for St. Mary's. "But the day before we did hear from the Ministry of Health." p' Minister of Health, Peter fiueck, St. Mary's Board of Trustees Chairman Tom Meredith and Wright are expected to meet November 3 to discuss the hospital's situation. : Wright says there is a possibility MLA Harold Long may be in attendance. The meeting, which Wright says Meredith has been attempting to set up since the Board announced the closure of eight beds arid the layoffs of two full- time and three part-time staff, will help determine where St. Mary's financial position will stand over the winter. "We're hoping," Wright says, "that by going to the Minister of Health we'll be able to tap into that $20 million." How much money is made available to hospitals, like St. Mary's, will be determined by the commision and the $20 million is only in place to pro vide temporary assistance until the new provincial budget is released in March. Until then, and if no substantial money is obtained to sustain St. Mary's working capital, current bed closures will exist for the next five months and the layoffs of four nurses and one laboratory worker will be elongated throughout the next 30 to 90 days. St. Mary's used to have a large working capital, but this year, last year, and the previous year, deficits have demanded use of those funds to keep the hospital from borrowing money to cover its costs. Transport complaint Gibsons Alderman Norm Peterson served 'Notice of Motion' at last week's meeting of the Sunshine Coast Regional District Board. He will be calling for the disbanding and restructuring of the Transportation Committee which is currently chaired by Area F Director John Shaske. Peterson cited the lack of information and effective action around the cancellation of the 10:30 ferry sailing as his major reasons. Area 7 A paper received for information at last Thursday's meeting of the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) shows Area C as having a voting population of 692 persons, however Financial Advisor to the Sechelt Indian Band, Gordon Anderson, told the Coast News last week that 444 of those people are living on Sechelt Indian Band lands. 7* When questioned further, Anderson said that to his Knowledge, there has never been ^polling booth for Area C on jland lands, nor has the Sechelt Indian Band Council been approached for permission to install one for this year's election. Anderson suggested that should such a request be received, it would be denied. He pointed out that legislation has been passed giving the Band Council jurisdiction over all the people living on Band land, and council is currently in the process of establishing the structure For local elections in limbo of an advisory council who would represent non-Indians living in the Sechelt Indian District. "We have an Indian government," he said, "and that's who will represent the people on Band land." SCRD Director Gordon Wilson told a reporter, "Our failure to deal with this issue leads us to the dangerous point of playing petty politics at the expense of our relationship with the Sechelt Indian people. The SCRD and the Band are not communicating well and we need to open doors and improve communications." Wilson, who has declared his intention of running again for the director's seat in Area A, said he discussed the realignment of boundaries last spring but others on the regional board wouldn't support him. "I favour a realignment of boundaries for Area B and F in order to encompass those areas of Area C outside of Band lands. I believe the Sechelt Indian Band Council is the proper body to represent those people living on Band lands," he stated . firmly. Several phone calls to both the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs indicated that few people within those departments were sure of where jurisdictional authority for the 444 people living in the: Sechelt Indian District lies. Gary. Paget, from the; Municipal Affairs explained to the Coast News that those boundaries probably should have been changed last year when Sechelt expanded its; boundaries to include most of; Area C. However, now the in-; itiative will have to come from one of the municipalities: represented on the SCRD: board, who may have objections to the voting weight of Area C. Nominations trickle in . Nomination forms are trickling in for ��he Sechelt, Gibsons, and School Board District 46 elections. In Sechelt Audrey Broughton, Nancy MacLarty, Mike Shanks and Bob Wilson have shown their intent to run for three open aldermanic seats. Alderman Ken Short said he would not run again and Alderman Ann Langdon has not filed to dale. L- Administrator Malcolm ~\ Shanks said there were still two Mother nomination- forms' put which have not been filed. In Gibsons, contesting the incumbent Mayor Diane Strom's bid for re-election will be current Alderman Bob Maxwell. For alderman two papers only have been brought in so far (at press time). Laara Dalen and Gladys Sluis have filed and Returning Officer Jean Mainil says there are still eight or nine forms out. Alderman Gerry yet to file for re- Current Dixon has election. In Rural Area 2, encumbent Don Douglas will not be standing for School Board elections. Nomination papers have been filed by four people for the two vacant seats. Doris Fuller has declared her intentions to run again, 'and Lynn Chapman of Roberts Creek, Bill Wescott of Gambier Island, and Pat Stuart from Area E have entered the race. Shawn Cardinall will be running for the School Board seat in Gibsons. Salmon need rain Fisheries Officer Randy Tancock reports that fish are milling around at the mouths of creeks and rivers on the Sunshine Coast but are unable to move up to the spawning grounds due to the unusually low water levels. Most fish can wait a week or ten days longer and chum can spawn in the salt water as long as there is some fresh water filtering through the gravel. But if there is no significant rainfall soon the salmon spawn for this year will be seriously affected. Tancock also reports that sport fishing is spotty, with a few chinook beginning to show. Butter clams are still closed on the whole coast and butter clams, mussels and scallops are closed in Sechelt Inlet. Albert and Judith Cook don't have any complaints about the lack of rain this year. Besides producing almost 700 cans of vegetables this year, their garden also yielded a spaghetti squash weighing 80 pounds (left) and a 130 pound pumpkin (right)* ���Penny Fuller photo i ���p"�� ��-rj" ��*������ JfT *-��-r ��� -��� r ��� "< %.' 1 \ M Jf a * \ * ��� j r ����� ��1 '*.<. 4 P*.

"We will blaze new trails," vowed the Premier. Nonetheless, the premier's supporters on one radio discussion of privatization leant heavily on what had been done by way of privatization in Britain and France to justify what the Premier had in mind. This vision of himself and his government as fearless trail blazers daring to go where other, less heroic governments only contemplate and tremble is obviously an image which is dear to the Premier's heart. It is equally obvious that voices are being raised which were stilled heretofore to give the premier the benefit of the doubt. They are expressing concern that what we are getting by way of government in B.C. these days is exactly the seat-of-the-pants improvisation without consultation that critics of Premier Vander Zalm feared when he sought to lead the province. Some of these voices come from within his own party. It is not the premier's proposals on privatization alone which cause concern. The proposed decentralization, so- called, of government is causing downright alarm in some quarters. It is difficult to quarrel with Mike Harcourt's assessment that a political figure is being given power over local elected officials with the right to overturn their decisions where the friends of the governing party can be helped. It may prove to be that the genius of the premier is such that great good will come to the province which the most of us are too lacking in vision and courage to understand at the present time. It may also prove to be that a relatively ��� unsophisticated man with delusions of grandeur is taking a dangerously ideological approach to the delicate and complex business of making the economic system work. Unfortunately it must be said that at this point the latter seems to be the more likely. The people of B.C. may soon rue the day they chose image over substance in the last provincial election. Taking stock Throughout the media coverage of the dramatic events on the stock market last week there ran a common theme. All commentators were taken completely by surprise by the events. They debated whether this would mean a recession was or was not around the corner. When, one wondered, was there ever a recession that did not equally take our economic gurus equally by surprise. And in these days of the most strident right expressions of faith and in the forces of the free market, why is it that governments and their spokesmen and their financial institutions must step forward with soothing words and financial measures designed to stop the bleeding when events such as those that took place last week occur. It is not fashionable at the present time to believe that the best economic path is that which has a judicious mixture of private and public enterprise, at least not in ruling circles in Canada, Britain and the United States. Ine evidence of the last week suggests, however, that the economic future of Western economies will have more pragmatism and less extreme right win ideology than is fashionable at the moment. 5 YEARS AGO About 200 coast residents and 70 vehicles disrupted ferry service for the 11:50 am sailing at Langdale in a protest meant to call attention to the curtailment of ferry service to the Sunshine Coast. When the ferry arrived, vehicles and passengers were allowed to disembark, but no traffic boarded for the return sailing. Travellers had to wait until the next sailing at 3 pm. Sgt. Wayne F.

The letters you will find on Page 3 of this week's Coast News. I would like to preamble a few comments on the SCRD by noting the relevance of all local governments may be debatable if and when the provincial government puts its so-called decentralization into place. I have a feeling that the next . few 'years could be verf *���'' frustrating for those locally elected if the proposed changes are implemented. The debates and disputes between municipalities and the SCRD on the Sunshine Coast may soon be of no significance whatsoever as the real decision-making shifts elsewhere. To put my remarks in something approaching context, may I remind that I have been an observer of the SCRD for 11 years. I can remember half a dozen different chairmen; Harry Almond of Roberts Creek, Area D; Ed Nicholson of Area B; Dave Hunter of Area F; Brian Stelck, Sechelt Alderman; and Lorraine Goddard, Mayor of Gibsons. There were disputes and debates and sometimes heated disagreements under all previous chairmen. What there was not was a permanent voting split which saw virtually all rural directors in constant majority in opposition to the municipalities. Only under the present chairman has that unhealthy situation taken place. I say again, those were regional boards in more active times than these which got through their workload without afternoon meetings and without the alleged necessity of dining regularly on the taxpayer. One thing that is different about the SCRD from the municipalities and which must be understood is the method whereby the Chairman is chosen. In the municipalities the Mayors are chosen by a vote ex- _ ercised by the public at large.. ; On the SCRD the Chairman is a director chosen by other directors. The result is that the present chairman has been elected again and again with the tacit understanding that his supporters in the annual vote of directors will be given the committees that they wish to chair; McGillivray gets Planning and Shaske gets Transportation, for example. This rigidness of structure was not a factor in previous regional boards. Nor does it, in my view, work for the benefit of the Coast. I can remember, for example, a few years back when the top brass of the B.C. Ferry Corporation came to hear our concerns. As Chairman of the Transportation Committee, Director Shaske took umbrage at the fact that the visitors would not be available for an evening meeting and scheduled the afternoon meeting into his tiny storage room among the packing cases. It was an act of unspeakable discourtesy. Shaske is still the Chairman of the Transportation Committee because that is his reward for loyal support of Gurney for chairman. Whether such a spokesman will ever get a decent hearing from the B.C. Ferry Corporation is for the reader to judge. It may be that this group of directors, clinging to power and privilege like a latter-day Chateau Clique in early Quebec or the Family Compact in early Ontario, will continue to be successful in so clinging for some years to come. I doubt that the best interests of the Sunshine Coast will be served and by best interests I include a preservation of the charm which brought us all here and which need not be incompatible with the growth In Time of which is surely inevitable. To the letters: Shaske's argument seems to boil down to Teed me, you need me', and: those who agree may indeed be: in the majority but I am assuredly not among them. Gurney, of course has a legal' loophole to squirm out of, he is' a clever man. But the.' straightforward way would: have been to assign the weighted, votes which were Sechelt's due; sixteen months ago and recognize that Area C was no; more. The one vote dredged up; for the area through the Gurney loophole will for a couple more years give the rural directors the voting edge to maintain the*, political status quo. :*; Whether the status quo, politically, is in our best long- term interests is the point at issue. 4The Breaking of Nations9 i Cf NL Y a man harrowing clods in a slow silent walk With an old horse that stumbles and Half asleep as they stalk.

Thomas Hardy nods Coast's original masked revellers A defence of raccoons by James H. Tyner Lately the raccoons have been getting a bad press. Various people have accused them of doing many things - all bad. The raccoons have been accused of molesting ducks and fowl, tearing holes in roofs, undermining foundations, stealing fruit, disrupting gardens, upsetting garbage cans and generally raising hell. The accusers seem to know little of raccoons, perhaps even as little as the dictionaries. The Concise Oxford Dictionary describes the raccoon as a greyish-brown furry bushy- tailed sharp snouted North American nocturnal carnivore while the Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary states that the raccoon is a genus of the bear family of North America -valuable for its fur. These descriptions leave us unprepared for the small grey animal of perhaps 20 to 25 pounds with a black mask about the eyes on a white-grey face - the black extending down to a sharp little black nose, the white-grey forehead marked by three vertical black stripes giv ing it a worried look, the little round ears rimmed with white and the bushy grey-yellow tail ringed with bands of black. Usually when seen the raccoon is standing on its hind legs begging for food holding up its most remarkable human-like hands. A more attractive animal would be hard to find. The raccoon is a variety of bear and is not strictly a carnivore. Like other bears and like man it has a widely varied diet consisting primarily of protein and carbohydrates. It finds much of its food by digging in the earth for grubs, snails and worms, finding slugs, turning over rocks for insects, tearing at rotting logs and wood for wood worms, looking for fruit and certain vegetation and roaming along the shores of lakes and streams for whatever it may find. With the encroachment of man upon its territory the resourceful raccoon has adapted itself to mans' environment. The complaints against it are caused by this adaption. It must live and if it can manage this by stealing apples don't be surprised. The man who complained about the raccoon digging a hole in his roof should be grateful as the raccoon would probably not do this unless the shingles were rotten for its natural instinct is to tear at rotten wood in its quest for food. Although we. have had raccoons about our place for some time our first closer understanding developed with the appearance one day of a female with seven young ones. She was in poor and emaciated condition and was obviously having difficulty providing for her family. They eagerly devoured the dog food we gave them and looked for more. They stayed with us and were fed regularly. The mother would sometimes hold my hand in both hers as though in appreciation. The family spent their days on the lawn or in the garden and their nights in the big cedar tree at the front of our house. It was most interesting to watch the mother teaching her young to turn over rocks, dig in the earth and tear apart rotting wood to search for food. When I was digging the garden they would follow closely breaking up the turned sod. When we were away they would climb to the roof of the house and sit in a row on its peak and watch for our return. One day the family left us to explore the neighbourhood, the next morning there were six very frightened young raccoons huddled on the lawn - one of them wounded in the hind leg - the mother and one of the young missing. For a few days they were very nervous. However they soon recovered and spent much of the summer frolicking and playing on the lawn during the day and spending their nights in the cedar. We learned that the raccoon is a nocturnal animal only by necessity. We also learned that they growl, bark and use a twittering sound to communicate. They play many games some of them requiring concentration, co-ordination, good communication and sound judgement. Such a game was where two raccoons face each other at a distance of about 40 feet then; with heads down, race towards each other at full speed (so fast that they are.little more than a Please turn to page 20; mmmt msmmmammmmmtmnm mmnmnmrmimim*** wimmi Coast News, October 26,1987 F JEditor: �� There has been much written ��bout the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) directors having dinner at the taxpayers' expense. jj For my part, being responsible for two businesses, I am not |ble to attend all day time sheetings. As well, not being in the office on a regular basis, one loses touch with day to day happenings. By meeting over dinner I find I can get caught up on a lot of background infor- rnation before board or committee meetings, allowing for more intelligent debate rather than basic questions. Since my normal day of work does not ��jnd until six pm or later, there is fio other time to get this Background information. 5 The next point is that no one |hould work more than twelve pours a day without a hot meal, jfet, if I was to go home, which $5 my personal preference, I toould have to drive over 25 miles plus eat in just over one lour, not a very good way to clear your mind and prepare for the evening. Director Wilson states as a director he actually makes 50 cents per hour. When I add up all the extras I spend money on, lose days of pay plus pay someone else to take my place, 50 cents an hour is good. The only reason for doing this service is to help develop the community I live in. If our board is to continue to be one of the only truly diversified boards (young and rising to retired) giving true representation, we must continue to reimburse all elected people for all expenses. The following quote is from an editorial in the Coast News, November 3, 1986, entitled 'Apathy Rampant'. "It may be that everyone is well-satisfied; it may be that holding public office can be so unpleasant that no one wants to do it. Whatever the case it is a troubling phenomenon." New legislation coming down from the provincial government now recognizes that directors have not been reimbursed for all expenses incurred in conducting municipal business and that this is one of the many factors that discouraged people from running as candidates. Hopefully this is a step forward to improving participation in our democratic society. John Shaske Director, Area 'F' Gurney amused Editor: . I would note with amusement your petty attempt to discredit your competitor with respect to reporting on Regional District voting strengths. I say 'would' if it were not for your blatant and inaccurate attempt to mislead ypur readers with your efforts, dpce more, to vilify the Regional District. j As a matter of fact, it is the Minister of Municipal Affairs ajid only the Minister who determines the populations of electoral areas and it is the N|inister who has determined that the pppulatipn living on Sechelt Indian Band lands is applied to Electoral Area C. The Regional District has no, I repeat no, say in the matter whatsoever. Your attempt to label the Regional District as devious in this regard is one more example of the biased and misleading editorial and reporting policy of your paper. One must ask if there is so little to criticize the Regional District for that you must continue to falsify and misrepresent in order to promote your discriminative point of view?

In '���: a slide presentation, Donaldson '���: carefully explained each pro- ���z cess. :7 When asked to state exactly ;������ what the experiments were designed to prove, he stated .; three specific goals: to test '.; whether the fish are adversely '���:'��� impacted by the treatments, or '���;:'��� if they develop normally; to test 7 the length of time after ��� treatments before no residue ex- : ists in the fish; and to prove that there is no adverse impact on the environment. Diana Davidson, representing the Tuwanek Ratepayers Association, stated her concern for the people who are working :: with these, 'potentially socially .'��� awkward drugs.' She asked >. what tests were done before and -: after using the drugs to monitor 7' their effects on workers. Doctor Donaldson said that while none were being done, no one in his lab had suffered any effects. However, he said, "If the farms want their people medically checked out before and after each use, they can do that." His department provides training workshops in the safe handling of the hormones, and he said that they recommend that females don't administer the androgen spray used on feed. "Males should do that just as a precaution," he explained. But Davidson criticized the lack of testing, pointing out that many of the workers on fish farms are young people who may not be properly educated in the potential hazards of these drugs, which can be absorbed through the skin. She checked him sharply, when Donaldson began to discuss different scientific philosophies, saying, "I would be much happier if you functioned as a scientist and left the ethical questions, which you are not trained to handle, alone. I want scientific facts." Chairman Gordon Wilson questioned Donaldson about marketing the hormone treated fish. There is a section in the agreement signed by companies doing the experiments which states: "The company shall not seal, assign or encumber any salmonids at any stage of their development without the prior written approval of Her Majesty." But the salmon will be marketed, Donaldson told the task force, probably this winter, approximately one and a half years after their last hormone treatment. There will be no special indication, he said, on the labels to indicate that the fish have been treated with hormone. No bickering on regional membership Gordon Wilson expressed concern Thursday night at the meeting of the Sunshine Coast Regional Board, that "I'm afraid we're going to take the kind of in-fighting and bicker- Hidden Comfort Panties buy 2 pair, get 1 pair freei Wonderbra & Warners Selected Styles On Sale Daisyfresh - 25 ^ off Teddy's - Camis . 3Q% off on purchase of newest Wonderbra styles g>ilk& 8c %ntt Sunnycrest Mall, Gibsons 886-3100 ing that we have around in the Economic Development Commission into the arena of the provincial government to the great disservice of the people we were elected to represent." His comments were made during the discussion of a letter the SCRD was planning to send to the premier asking that the Sunshine Coast be included in Region One with Powell River rather than Region Two with the Lower Mainland. That position is opposite to the stand taken by the municipalities of Gibsons and Sechelt who are content to stay in Region Two. "What I get from the politicians is that they don't want to deal with us at all," he said. "I believe that an offer will be made for us to choose, and I think our position should be united." Wilson suggested that a public debate be held where politicians and members of the public aired their views, followed by a, meeting of the two mayors and the SCRD chairman where a consensus should be reached. The municipal representatives both agreed that such a plan was in everyone's best interest. Sechelt Alderman Joyce Kolibas admitted, "We felt that to split up like this was going to make us look ridiculous in Victoria." It was agreed that Chairman Jim Gurney would try to talk with the mayors and agree on procedures for the public meeting, with a suggested date of November 5.

Sunnycrest Mall, Gibsons Gifts & Gems lip 886-2023 by Marguerite If your spring flowering bulbs did not give you the large blooms you expected this year, chances are they need to be divided and now is the time to do it. Separate the clumps and replant the new, smaller sections. Old raspberry canes should be cut out now to prevent their harbouring disease over the winter. Madonna lilies should be planted right away, and there's still time for bulbs including narcissus, owing to our Indian summer weather. A little bonemeal scattered over a well watered, prepared bed is ideal. Conifers, yews, and all broad-leaved evergreens should be planted before the end of the month. It's a good idea to check and clean the lawn mower before putting it away for the winter. Also, drain the garden hose if you're finished with it before frosts crack it. The spring bedding plants should be planted as soon as possible where they are to flower. These include wallflowers, forget-me-nots, polyanthus and double daises. October is a suitable time to prepare the sites where shrubs are to be planted next month. Dig out a hole two spades deep and at least four feet wide. Have the bottom forked up and well rotted organic matter mixed with it. The top soil is then replaced adding compost, manure and leaf mold. Pioneer Park has been well prepared for the spring bulbs by Gibsons Garden Club volunteers. A point of interest, the bright green bushes, which are an annual, have been left so that we can all enjoy their change of colour before dying. The are called 'Kochi', Mexican fire bush, or summer cypress.

It will also provide another evening so that people who work during the day can have better access to the library both for taking out and returning their books. Many new children's books have been added to the library's shelves recently. The bright pictures and creative stories are a real joy! A new group of adult books are also being processed and will be filling up the new book section. The library also carries a selection of large print books. These are a real help for many with visual problems. Be sure to ask the volunteers at the desk if you need any help when using the library. They are there for you and are happy to give any assistance they can.

Gibsons Coast News, October 26,1987 7. iSiiiii^HI^Biijffliii�� et of unmellowed muse by George Cooper, 886-8520 Last October 3 at the Arts Centre in Sechelt Helen Potrebenko gave readings from her two volumes of poems Walking Slow (1985) and Life, Love and Unions (1987). "My book may sell only 80 copies or so each," she said, "and I reach more people by these readings around the province." Certainly we are not a poetry buying public but we gladly hear what these poets are at pains to tell us. Helen Potrebenko has something to tell us about injustices in our society and she does this with humour, a humour always sharp and often grim. Helen Potrebenko has been a farm child, a taxi driver, a typist. She sees injustices through the eyes of the oppressed. Oppressed by an economic and social system that has destroyed our farm population, that denies women their rights, The Old Gibsons Elementary School known as the School District 46 Resource Centre is one of two buildings designated by Town Council to be Heritage Sites. ���Joel Johnstone photo PORTRAITS Opening Special June Boe Photo Gallery 449 Marine Drive 886-7955 that is unfair to races other than white, that is unfair to the young. In her novel Taxi (1975) Helen Potrebenko presents these same themes in stark dramatic form. Her protagonist, a woman taxi driver in Vancouver, observes a society showing its seamy side. The taxi driver has only a gloomy, often despairing, view of that society of both the poor and better off. The novel is set in the times of the Vietnam war, hippies, the War Measures act, and protest marches for causes great and small. And it seems, the driver thinks, the US dream is turning to shreds and its people leaning not towards revolution but to fascism. When a fare says to the taxi driver, "We need to open our parks for mining," she replies by quoting Steinbeck's question, "How come progress looks like destruction?" A native Indian says to the taxi driver, "Sure hard to make a living when you're not a white man." And a few other gleanings from Taxi: When a woman fare says she's glad the NDP had won because then Gaglardi was out and all his nationality are crooks, the taxi driver wonders whether 'NDP supporters were on the average more degenerate than their opposition...not much of a contest there. At least the woman paid the fare.' And when she takes an American citizen and his wife on a sight-seeing tour of the city, he tells the taxi driver, "I read about foreign domination of your economy in your local papers. Why don't you throw out the British as we did." She corrects him concerning who's dominating Canada now. Thought is distilled in the two volumes of verse, the better to convey the needle sharp satire. Here are a couple of samples. In her 'Cheap Labour', about the exploitation of women, Potrebenko says, "...always been expected that women would do. men's work ���\l so long as they do all the women's work as well."

Davis Bay News i�� Views Zoning changes ! by Jean Robinson, 885-2954 As reported in this column in an earlier issue, there are going to be some changes made in the Commercial Zoning numbers. What was once CI, 2, or 3 before, now has a different meaning. While the Davis Bay area along the highway is marked red for commercial from the Peninsula Market to the Casa Martinez, it also contains some three different commercial meanings. If you are interested in learning about this before the information meeting on October 31, you may speak with Bill LeNeve and Ed Cuylits at the Wilson Creek Hall on October 27.

The meeting between the SCRD, District of Sechelt representatives, Davis Bay/Wilson Creek Association representatives, and Tucker Forsyth of the Ministry of Highways was to determine who would develop the Davis Bay Park and foreshore. Though four members of the public were present, at the time the Coast News was asked to leave because Forsyth did not wish to speak for the Ministry to the public through the newspaper. It was indicated those present were invited guests. Director Jim Gurney said he regretted the request but it was important to have Forsyth present. Committee Chairman Jack Marsden later told the Coast News it was resolved the Davis Bay Park and foreshore would be developed jointly by the SCRD and the District of Sechelt as a regional park. .

Hallowe'en means fireworks, hot dogs, sparklers, fun and games, costumes and bon fires. Fire did I say! That's a scary word in this dry weather, so unless we have a downpour of rain our usual big bon fire will have to be replaced with what? More games? More food? We can have both! Anyone who wishes, bring along some cookies or cake or munchies of some sort. Do you know a game that would be fun? Bring it along. Edna has volunteered to man the kitchen, Dolly will man the hot dog line, Bathgates have ordered the fireworks and the young folk are going to decorate the hall. Saturday evening in costume!

RATEPAYERS GO AHEAD A new executive for the Area B Ratepayers Association was established at last Sunday's annual general meeting. There was lots of interest in the organization, all, of whom .voted a special vote of thanks to Gerry Berthelet who has held it together for so long without too much input from members. Some 18 new members signed up at the meeting. There will be more news on this later after the executive get together. HALL USAGE There was a fairly good representation at the meeting on Thursday night at the SCRD office when the matter of usage of Coopers Green Hall was discussed. No policy was actually set as the purpose of the meeting was to receive input from residents. Some good suggestions were made and will be considered when the time comes to actually put the policies in Writing. GET WELL WISH All our good wishes for a speedy recovery go out to a very special gentlemen who had to be admitted to St. Mary's Hospital while on a visit from Calgary. He is Dave Rintoul who is the father of Connie Hobbs of Redrooffs. We hope he is well enough to go home soon. TOM WHITE DIES Our sympathies go out at this time to Gladys White on the loss of her dear husband Tom. The Whites had lived in the Halfmoon Bay area for some eight years before moving to Sechelt. Prior to his retirement Tom was on the advertising executive of MacMillan-Bloedel. Tom came to Canada from the Isle of Wight when he was 15 years old. He and Gladys were married for almost 40 years and there are four sons and two daughters as well as 10 grandchildren. Tom and Gladys made many good friends in the area who will be saddened at his passing. A memorial service was held at St. Hilda's Church. WATCH YOUR SPEED I have been asked to bring to the attention of drivers on Redrooffs Road that the speed limitis 50 km all the way. There have been some near misses, particularly in the early morning when children are on the road Middlepoint bush fire Both Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour Volunteer Fire Departments responded to a bush fire at the residence of Gordon and Liz Wilson in Middlepoint on October 27. Through the co-operative efforts of both departments the fire was quickly brought under control although Middlepoint is outside of the fire protection areas of both departments. It will be recalled that in April of this year Regional Board Representative Wilson was quoted as saying that both Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour Fire Departments had refused to attend a structure fire in the Middlepoint area. At the time, Halfmoon Bay Chief Greg Phelps stated that Halfmoon Bay Fire Department would attend a fire outside its own district if manpower were available and there was no danger of compromising fire protection in Halfmoon Bay. on the way to school and drivers are hurrying to work.

This locally initiated project is intended to help rebuild the Volunteer recognition course One of the most important aspects of running any kind of volunteer organization is knowing your volunteers and how best you can show them your appreciation. This sounds simple, but all too often volunteers feel exploited or unappreciated and it doesn't take long before they start saying 'no' to requests for help. Colleen Goodrich is giving a course in Volunteer Recognition this November through Continuing Education. Those who wish to take the course should register as soon as possible by calling 886-8841. It takes place on November 14, from noon to 3 at Chatelech Secondary and costs $7.50 plus $3 for materials, and fees should be paid by October 31.

The fry will spend the next two and a half years in Rainy River before migrating out to sea, where they will spend another two years before returning to spawn. Only 1% of the fry released will return to spawn, due to in- stream and ocean predation on steelhead by man and nature. The subsequent 120 returning adults, should provide a substantial boost to current steelhead populations. Last years's float counts of the Rainy river was 50 adults. This program will be continued until the steelhead run rebuilds itself to match the stream's natural capacity.

Weather, plus road and vehicle conditions, are factors in about 20% of accidents in B.C. But the other 80%? They're caused by people: bv human action and human condition. Accidents in 1986 resulted in a recbrd-breaking 539,000 Autoplan claims. About one every' 60 seconds. In 1987, we're breaking that record. Factors in 1986 accidents: Human action ��� Human condition��� (alcohol, inexperience, etc.) Environment _ (weather, road condition, etc.) Vehicle Condition- What's ICBC doing about it? We're working to reduce the number of accidents through traffic safety education. And by promoting the use of safety belts. As co-sponsors, with the Ministry of Attorney- General, of the CounterAttack Against Drinking Driving, we're striving to cut the number of alcohol-related accidents and deaths in B.C. ICBC also works with school children and educators, the police, safety councils and civic governments on continuing "grass roots" traffic safety programs. At ICBC, we're doing what we can. But the real solution lies with the individual motorist. And what can you do? Obey the rules. We all know them. Stick to the speed limit. Use your turn signals. Don't run yellow (and especially red) lights. Come to a complete stop at stop signs. Don't drink and drive. These are the "human actions" that prevent accidents. In any weather.

The sketches of her children. A boat once, owned. Artwork by her daughter. And the portrait she had taken to hang on the wall at Gibsons Town Hall alongside the other mayors. "I never think of my job as 1 mayor as anything other than another person trying to make things better for the community," says the incumbent as another election approaches. "I only want to see the town and area develop without losing our ideals and without basically changing the structure of our community." She admits she doesn't really have a prepared platform for the upcoming election because of a conscious decision to remain an earthy person. "Though I would certainly like to be re-elected I will be reelected because people feel I've represented them in a manner which they want or expect." Anything posing a threat or potential benefit to the town is her priority. The immediate issues which come to mind are the damaged condition of the government wharf, economic development, and restructuring the area in a well thought out and well talked about manner. "The most important is DONATIONS & VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED Box 598 or 886-2488 Proceeds aid Food Bank Hallowe'en Kids! nnir 1 above Kens Lucky Dollar BOOTCUT SCRUBBIES Reg. 35.98 Clearance*3 J Off all WINTER JACKETS all FLEECE Si& Sal0 Customer parking at rear Selected Men's & Ladies' CASUAL WEAR ================ by Jantzen Open 7 days a week Three words about Great Coffee. mmm)%jF M. ll ilcni av& d\&n��& ��, S fir�� Three words about Fresh Coffee..., Mh iY': Serving the Entire Sunshine Coast OFFICE &.

She is patient in making up her mind about the SCRD and Gibson's involvement in the Economic Development Commission, choosing to wait for the results of a study undertaken by a consulting firm whose recommendations would be a determining factor. Bringing Port Mellon into the same provincial tax situation as Gibsons and Areas E and E-jn order to create more tax uniformity in existing and potential services would benefit the whole area, she says. At present, Strom says Port Mellon pays only regional and recreational tax to the area with the remainder going to the provincial government and this area is not seeing it come back in the form of grants or funding. She has a strong belief in the democratic system, noting that she thinks public hearings are great because of the input directly from the people she feels she is obligated to represent. M axwe 11 has time by Joel Johnstone In a quiet, orderly, well-kept home just under 'the bluff,' Bob Maxwell sits in the comfort of his retirement home contemplating his mayoralty candidacy. "I don't think people will vote for me because I'm a greatgrandfather or because of my technical background," he says. But 26 months of two accumulative terms as an alderman has given him the feeling ��� he's "attained a degree of respect." ���% The former engineering; technologist believes his analytical and investigative nature would help him serve' well as.mayor of Gibsons. He's owned property here for 20 years, moving here 10 years7 ago to develop and live. It's his home and he says, if elected, he would endeavor to keep government costs down but be realistic at the same time. "We do have to raise money and spend it to the same degree people put on the services." Along with that he considers giving administrators more powers but, simultaneously, making them more responsible for their actions through performance reviews. A committee or commision to work more closely with police in the community and an intent to back up bylaws with enforcement or strike them from the books is only part of the array of issues which could be considered a platform if platforms, as a formality, were to be implemented in this election. For youth, Maxwell sees a need for young people to have recreational facilities, such as a skateboard bowl, to benefit their energitic activities at an early age. But he also believes those coming out of those youthful years should be self- motivated and shouldn't expect the society they are beginning to pay their way into to provide them with something to do. Being unemcurnbered by another job, he feels this will allow him the availability to fulfill many duties both officially and personally to the public.

What I don't like is after. Not just the strewn candy wrappers and the peanut shells but as the days go by - the soggy pumpkin. So this year's Hallowe'en plea is 'Save your Pumpkin'. Save it for some better fate, such as eating. For those who have only ever eaten canned pumpkin pie pulp -this bears no resemblance to the delicate flavour of the real thing. To pulp your pumpkin - Cut it into sections. Place it in a steamer with about an inch of water under it and steam for about 25 minutes. Cool slightly. Cut off rind and shove through a strainer. This is not arduous. I pulped a medium size pumpkin to Joni Mitchel singing 'Unchained Melody' - no hardship! You can leave your pulp for a few hours then drain off any excess liquid. Then: PUMPKIN LOAF IV2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda pinch salt 1 cup sugar 1 cup pumpkin pulp 2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 eggs V2 cup oil V2 cup currants 1. Sift dry ingredients, including sugar, into a bowl. 2. Beat eggs, add oil, beat until frothy, add pumpkin and beat again. 3. Add all dry ingredients gradually, mixing constantly, until well blended. Add currants. 4. Turn into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 375��F for 45 minutes. The recipe doubles and freezes successfully. Try cooking a stew in your (whole) pumpkin - just your-regular stew mixture in a hollowed out pumpkin, replace the 'lid' and cook for half an hour longer than usual but otherwise following your normal stew recipe.

At parched Keremeos where the highway branches north, we pick up some fresh veggies at a roadside stand. Then we are rolling through Osoyoos with its pseudo- Spanish decor that seems to have no historical basis whatsoever, and climbing up from the sun-baked valley towards Anarchist Summit. The country between the Summit and the Kettle Valley is, for my money, some of the most breathtaking in BC, especially at this time of year. The rolling, green hills, dotted with farms and ranches, undulate away in emerald majesty like the very meadows of heaven. It was almost exactly 20 years ago that I first travelled through this marvellous area and it still staggers me with its beauty. Down we glide from those magical vistas into the Kettle Valley and stop at Rock Creek, where the Cariboo goldrush got started almost 140 years ago. At a road-side cafe, I attempt to contact my old friends, Ted and Marge Poole, who first introduced me to this part of the country. But there is no answer so we are obliged to take a rain- check. At the historic old mining town of Greenwood, with its abandoned smelterstack and turn-of-the-century mainstreet, harking back to palmier times, we pull up at the local museum. We also inquire about the abandoned town of Phoenix, a few miles north. The girl at the desk informs us that the place was totally levelled in the fifties by a subsequent mining operation. There is nothing left of once- thriving Phoenix but an enormous hole in the ground. Scratching this one off our list of possibilities, we trundle on to Grand Forks and the Yale Hotel>. which specializes in authentic Doukhobor food. Yvonne, who has eaten there before, assures, me that the cabbage rolls are the best she has ever tasted. She is not exaggerating. We finish our supper and head north towards the West Kootenays, country that is totally new to me. The road to Nelson wintjs > over the lofty Monashee Range*���* through miles of uninhabited country. Except for the size of the trees, the terrain is very similar to parts of the west coast. It is a long steep climb to Paulson Summit. We crest it at last and start to descend. At the hill's bottom, we pass the pulpmill town of Castlegar, sprawling across the floor of a wide valley. This was originally another Doukhobor settlement and boasts a reconstructed Russian village. We make a note to check this out on our return journey. We scoot through the strangely-named little community of Thrums, past the impressive Kootenay Dam and at long last, with twilight beginning to dust down on the West Kootenays, into Nelson itself. Nelson spills dramatically across a hillside between tall mountains, on the west arm of Kootenay Lake. It is definitely one of the most attractive towns I have run across in my travels, a fascinating blend of the past and the present. Nelson calls itself the heritage capital of BC and the title is more than mere chamber-of-commerce flack. The town is a living monument to the past. It boasts 370-odd historical buildings, many of them dating back to before the turn of the century and most of them still in active use. Only Victoria can claim more. Yvonne and I are anxious to examine some of these functional relics of the silver boom but it is getting late and we've had a long day. She phones her daughter to announce our arrival. Sandi shows up shortly and guides us across a mini Lion's Gate bridge to the house she is renting in North Nelson. Here, we unpack.and unwind from our journey in the resort like setting, with daylight fleeing and the lake spread out below us, a wind-ruffled mirror. The next day is set aside for exploring Nelson. After breakfast, we head back over the bridge, park the car and embark on foot through streets that once knew the pounding of hooves in long-ago horse races. Sandi, an old Nelson-hand by now, acts as our tour guide, pointing out the various highlights. The old town more than lives up to our expectations. It is a veritable treasure trove of false-fronted stores and elaborate late Victorian architecture. The old Hudson's Bay Store has been turned into a pocket mall but contrives to maintain its unique character. The City Hall dates back to 1902, an imposing gabled and towered green-roofed structure of grey stone that echoes the Provincial Parliament Buildings. (This is no coincidence, they were designed by the same architect, Walter (?) Ratten- bury). The once decrepit Hume Hotel, of similar vintage, has been completely refurbished and boasts a unique bar called The Library that has the varnished ambience of an oldtime saloon. Under the spell of the past we wander from landmark to historic landmark. Nelson today is no longer the vital mining centre it once was, but a thriving tourism industry has kept it relatively prosperous. The town's idyllic setting and the lure of its legend are important factors in its prosperity. Recently, in common with many other parts of BC, picturesque Nelson hs been 'discovered' by Hollywood and two major productions, Steve Martin's Roxanne and Bill Forsyth's Housekeeping were filmed here in 1986. There will undoubtedly be more. Yvonne, Sandi and I spend most of the day prowling Nelson's downtown and cruising along the outlying streets where there are many old and elegant private homes. We wind things up with a brief impromptu picnic on a rock bluff at Gyro Park which overlooks the city and head back across the bridge. Tomorrow we get down to some serious and much wider ranging exploration into the old mining country beyond Nelson. To be continued...

They sang to her and for her; they recounted their love and respect for her. It was a privilege to be there bathing in so much love and goodwill. Two of Nikki's three sons were in attendance which pleased her most because, as she said: "Above everything else, I am a mother." Ruth Forrester told of how Nikki came among the small music group in Halfmoon Bay which had been meeting to entertain themselves and how she cajoled, encouraged and inspired them into becoming the Halfmoon Hams, which group ; entertained all and sundry up land down the Coast for several >years.

CCTV's camera crew plans a visit to the parent tot drop-in on Wednesday to see what fun activities are in store for the kids. politicians at making the Sunshine Coast one community. On an evening such as this with such a personage to be honoured one would hope that the music provided for the dancing portion of the celebration would appropriately be wonderful. And so it was. It was billed as the Ken Dalgleish Quintet with Signi Murgatroyd and those two names alone were enough to assure us that all would be well. The appearance in rare good form of long-time Dalgleish associate Mike Dunn on guitar ensured success. The delighted interactions between Ken, Mike, and Signi were as much a joy to behold as their music was a joy to the ear. Jerome Jarvis, the drummer, Mark Dowding, the saxophonist, and Joel Berinstein, on the bass, lent impeccable depth and colour to the music. This was an eclectic group, doing as much justice to Patsy Klein songs as to the Billy Holiday offering; as much at joyously home with sambas, reggae, polkas and waltzes as they were with rock and roll. In a program of unfailing delight my personal favourites were Sigrii's beautiful rendition of the Billy Holiday number You don't know what love is -with just breathtakingly beautiful accompaniment from Dalgleish and Dunn and haunting saxophone breaks from Dowding - and Mike Dunn's solo spot doing an extremely up-tempo version of La Bamba in excellent Spanish. JSIike told me later that it was the first time he had sung in public since leaving the Coast a dozen years ago and it took this reprobate back to memorable musical evenings in the Pen Hotel with Dunn hunched over his guitar and belting out some of the raunchiest versions of the Rolling Stones ever sung. Signi Murgatroyd is a wonderful singer of intelligence and feeling. She twice paid- tribute to Nikki Weber for the role Nikki played in encourag ing her to perform and her love and respect for Nikki compounded with .her joy in the supportive and skillfull back-up music saw her in the finest form throughout the evening. Simply wonderful. All in all, a night most surely to remember. & DINING ROOM AGAIN Oct. 30 & 31 - Grey Star GIBSONS LEGION c Branch #109 Hallowe'en Party Saturday 9pm - 1am Members & Guests Welcome A Howling Good Time For Everyone! y Chef Jurg has returned from Switzerland Affordable fine dining from 5:30 pm Thursday thru Saturday West on Gower Point Road til you reach the Sea 886-2887 Your guide to the finest in area dining DINING GUIDE A listing of restaurants and pubs (he Cwwt 'Where did you say you had that delicious steak dinner?" we asked. "The Omega, that's were," was the reply. So off we went. That's also where I got the juiciest, melt-in-your- mouth baby back ribs I've ever tasted this side of the Rockies. Well, the Omega lists Alberta Grade A meat for its steaks and my partner ordered a nine ounce New York. Our entrees came to us piping hot, dressed with greens and red vegetables and a very special 'house' potato presentation with creamy cheese sauce. "I'll have three plates of those please," I though, being the potato buff in my house. "What's a waistline?" Anyway these plated were abundantly heaped and by the time I had devoured my saucy baby ribs I couldn't have handled anything else. Although there was a dessert menu available to tantalize and lure me into uncontrolled gluttony, I could not allow myself the pleasure this time. After all, I had had soup...a very flavourful vegetable soup and endless munches on garlic bread. Next time, if I didn't order their highly rated special house pizza or their weekly special, which this week incidentally was fresh prawns prepared and displayed with pita bread, normal-' ly listed on the menu for $14.95, now $12.95, I would order something from their grand selection of appetizers, haye.the^ soup again or a Greek salad loaded with Feta (most restaurants in the city are stingy with the Feta, but not the Omega) and then I could find room for the dessert I missed this time.

The .Stadium Jumping event was won by Pam McRae on Black Jack. ���Janice Edmonds photo booking in iNot. in front of the servants by Montague Royal t ��� i The excellent British televi- ! sion series Upstairs; Downstairs i provided a moving and tren- ! chant look at the master/ser- ! vant relationship as it once ex- I isted in the great houses of | England. Although the Bell- ; amys and their faithful employ- | ees were fictional creations, the ; way of life they represented was ; once a very real one. That "stringently-structured, class- .obsessed. world comes under 'minute scrutiny in Frank ��� Dawes' revelatory book Not In Front Of The Servants j- (Wayland). Subtitled: Domestic Service ;in England (1850-1939), the ; book is based on the recollec- : tions of many former servants [who once inhabited the lowly i realm below stairs. Dawes' own ^mother was in service and he \ started byr interviewing - her. ���:Then he branched out,, meeting fiand corresponding with literally \dozens of former butlers, \ cooks j scullery maids, footmen, !; chauffers and the maids-of-all- Jwork known as 'Tweenies'. ; The Tweenies (the name deprives from the, fact that they \ worked between " floors) were Igenerally young girls from 4m- jpoverished families, and their ichores were endless and ?onerous. They scrubbed staircases, carried coal for the \fireplaces, cleaned bedrooms, | emptied chamberpots and per- 'formed a staggering number of Mother duties. Conditions varied jjfrom household to household of ���course but even under the best ���of circumstances, the Tweenies' |ot was not an easy one. They were probably the hardest- .;done-by of all the servants. ';Their life was one long round of -;cheerless drudgery. They were ���ip'oorly paid and their behaviour was governed by a series of strict house rules. Violation of these rules (one of which, forbade them to have boyfriends or 'followers' as they were called) could mean instant dismissal with no references. While the Tweenies' lot was a hard one, it did represent a certain security. A young girl turned out on the streets of London with no credentials was in dire straits. She generally had only one direction to turn. Of the thousands of prostitutes who plied the London alleys in Victorian times and even later, almost half of them were former domestics. They were known as 'Dolly Mops'. If the servants of the great houses were products of a rigid class structure, they maintained an equally strict heirarchy among their own ranks. As fans of Upstairs; Downstairs will recall, Hudson the butler was very much top dog among the domestics. Even the cook bowed, albeit grudgingly, to his prissy edicts. This was the established order of things and it was rigidly adhered to. In larger households, the butler and the footman even ate in separate quarters. At the bottom of the heap of course, were the Tweenies, the scullery maids and the boot boys. Conditions gradually improved among the serving classes over the years. Hours were shortened, wages were raised and restrictions regarding behaviour and dress were relaxed. Obsolete jobs such as footman were phased out and the introduction of modern appliances, such as vacuum cleaners and washing machines, lightened, the work load of the skivvies.

ASSOCIATE DEALER Sechelt Tire & Battery Sales MADEIRA MACHINE SHOP Francis Peninsula Place, Pender Harbour 883*9551 SI HI 9 raist mmm �� 18 Coast News, October 26,1987 Courageous lady passed by Maryanne West Meg (Margaret) Thatcher who died last week at the age of 95 came to live on Gower Point Road 30 years ago when she retired from a nursing career. She was already showing the first signs of the debilitating illness which would eventually rob her, not only of mobility but also of coherent speech. While her body may have been frail in recent years there was nothing frail about her indomitable spirit. It's not difficult to imagine the frustrations of a mind, still active and alert, imprisoned with little means of expression or communication with others. Yet, she was always cheerful, interested in the world outside her hospital bed and it was easy to make her smile. She was, and always will be, an aspiration to all who knew her. Meg was a very private person, with a wide spectrum of interests in world affairs, nature, the arts, books, gardening; she never seemed to have the need to talk about herself. Her father was a Church of England minister and the family first came to Canada soon after the turn of the century to visit Meg's older brother who was working on a ranch in Alberta. While there the Reverend Thatcher was asked to look after the Anglican parish in Golden, B.C. during the absence of the incumbent. Here they fell in love with the In- vermere Valley to which they returned when Meg was 15 or 16. Always an independent spirit, she went away to university in Edmonton, returning home to take up a nursing career after her sister was drowned in a boating accident. Brought up in the strict moral and social constraints of Victorian England, and living in a rural community where nothing is hidden from public scrutiny. it must have been a decision of great courage and love which motivated Meg to adopt orphaned twin boys who were in need of a home. Later, as the boys reached their teens, Meg, with her widowed mother, moved the family to Vancouver where she worked at the Willow Chest Clinic. Meg's independent spirit and determination were demonstrated again in her 80's when she made a trip to New Zealand to attend the centennial celebrations of Christ Church Cathedral designed by her ar chitect grandfather. Then, 10 years ago, she suffered a stroke and doctors and family, considering her age felt she would need constant care and settled her into a home in Vancouver. They had however, reckoned without Meg. She battled back from the effects of the stroke and with the help of the Homemakers service was able to spend another year in her own home among her treasured family possessions. I've always thought that Meg was an example of importance of instilling good manners and courtesy in small children so that it becomes an unconscious habit. Meg's Victorian standards must have been laid down in childhood and they never deserted her. She never took herself too seriously and was always patient and gracious. In leaving us she would have wanted to express her thankfulness and gratitude to all those who have cared for her with so much love and devotion at St. Mary's Hospital and before that her Homemakers and the staff and volunteers at the Kiwanis Home.

Thansgiving Day has come and gone. That great, round harvest moon which begins the season in which we celebrate the bringing home of the harvest, is now a thin ghost of itself. Many of us sat down with relatives and friends and enjoyed the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, most likely a roast chicken or turkey. This, sadly, may be the last festival of that kind we can celebrate without endangering our health. A year ago the Sunshine Coast Peace Committee became alarmed about the announcement that the process of food irradiation to extend 'shelf life' would begin in Canada. At that meeting we wrote protests, and sfcnt them off to Ottawa, 'lama contributor to Energy Pjrobe, a powerful critic of the iiuclear industry. Energy Probe reminds us that decayed meat smells bad and we don't eat it. Such meat can contain botulism, a deadly poison. Irradiation prevents decay but does not ftill the botulism bacteria. Jlecause of the danger of accidental botulism contamination, the US government has banned the irradiation of poultry. Tests of animals fed on irradiated food, though still incomplete, show damage to chromosomes, kidney disease, abnormal blood cells and premature death. Cancer- causing aflatoxins are common in some irradiated foods. Irradiation also destroys many important vitamins. These findings have stimulated so much discussion and roused so much opposition that an all-party parliamentary committee spent four months listening to scientists and other experts. Last May the committee ��� unanimously decided that food irradiation is too suspect. Chairwoman Mary Collins, M.P., said, "We do not think the health of Canadians should be compromised." Despite all this, our government has not condemned food irradiation and there is a well founded suspicion that Health and Welfare, our supposed guardian, will ignore the parliamentary report and allow us to be made into human guinea pigs.

It is our ailing nuclear industry, which has squandered billions of our taxpayer's money already, and now hopes to delay going bankrupt by peddling poison in our food. Another traditional festival is coming in two months. The chickens, turkeys and geese are fattening for our Christmas dinners. Is it possible that the leaders of our government in Ottawa can be so stupid as to believe their own lies about the safety of irradiated poultry? Or will they have their own larders stocked with clean food from special farms? If so, how can they be so cynical? I am writing a letter to our Prime Minister to remind him of our concerns.

At the same time they are building an extended care unit with federal funds? Is this new unit going to be full and if so does St. Mary's have the funds to pay the staff to care for a full extended care unit? Why aren't funds being used to improve on what they already have? St. Mary's definitely needs improving and there are a lot of people who will testify to that. What has this hospital done to deserve an accreditation? I would like to know. My six year old son is one of the victims of the terrible inadequacies of St. Mary's Hospital. When I rushed him to this institution with a very badly broken leg, severed artery etc. (a shocking mess), he was left until the next day because there was no surgeon available on the Coast. It seems Dr. Paetkau was on holidays and the only Survival at stake Editor: If Free Trade completes all legislative hurdles, it should be defeated by national refererif dum. At stake could be our survival. &' In the decades ahead the; quality of the environment must be the paramount and basic concern. Accepting the United States as a senior partner and the means to future prosperity, would be disastrous. At present the United States are militaristic and totally dedicated to an unbridled consumer society. Weapons are a basic industry. Untold tons of consumer production go into land fills. Millions of automobiles clog highways and cities. Hydrocarbons pour into the air killing forests and warming the planet. Farmlands are saturated with herbicides and pesticides, killing people and the land. Oceans are polluted and their life decimated. The drive for more production and short term profit is a madness affecting the total culture. Canada must not be a budding microcosm of all this. We must stop and think!

They would repeat this performance many times taking turns jumping in the air with the other running through. They played a game of patty- . cake with three raccoons standing on their hind legs touching hands very rapidly. Sometimes two raccoons standing facing each other on all fours -touching noses, first one jumping in the air then the other always coming down to rub noses. Although they spent much time wrestling on the lawn like any teenagers - probably the most humourous game we observed was when one came up behind me when I was seated -stole one of my crutches - tak ing it to the middle of the lawn where they used it for a game of tug-of-war - with two pulling on one end and two on the other. The raccoons with the down hill pull soon gained the advantage -those losing suddenly let go. They were with us until spring when they left for the larger life.

That way they know what is going on." The onus of bylaw enforcement also is a public matter, she says. "We have one bylaw officer who works very hard. Residents have to be responsible too. She can't do everything." And sewage odours are something "you can't allow the community to put up with" but "on the same hand you certainly cannot abandon the system you have in place. The combination of being both mayor and holding another job doesn't bother her or, she says, affect her ability to do either one. She says her* employers are very flexible,' recognizing the responsibilities; and demands made of her as a public official. Having lived in the Gibsons area since leaving Sechelt in: 1950, Strom plans to continue as she always has: trying to be- conscientious of her and other's well-being and maintaining an objective view of issues presented to her in her role as; mayor. "I do have strong opinions," she says, but "I'm not too proud to acknowledge when I've: made a mistake or a poor judge-' ment." Alderman Maxwell Continued from page 12 Regarding regional district affairs he says that because of money invested in economic initiatives he would "like to strike a good harmonious relationship with the SCRD without selling the farm." Good sound reason which has worked for him in the past would work well in the future when dealing on behalf of Gibsons as both Mayor and the town representative to the SCRD, he says. Public works are a large consideration, beach access identification, and, he says, "a breakwater would have terrific impact impact in every way" to the town's well-being. He would also like to create a better climate for retirees "who are a winter business benefit to the area and may attract developers." He hopes that people con-; sider him a fair person and; "that I've annoyed the right"' people in establishing this-: fairness." :: Cottage industry Continued from page 1 clause is that small home operations are not subject to the added expenses commercial operators have in competing with home industries , such as hair salon services. Maxwell said that if these operations are not subject to a special tax, deferring some amount of what they do not pay in tax on commercial lease space, then "they're not paying their way. "What obligation do we have to businesses that do pay taxes?" He asked council. This 'home' section of 555-5 is also somewhat in conflict with the Economic Development Strategy Plan's emphasis on promoting "cottage in--: dustry", but both Strom and;! Maxwell share a belief such in- ;' dustry could flourish in par-' ticular sectors of the economy and that this bylaw would affect only that business which, in turn, affects existing commercial businesses. Buchan says "It's a very touchy subject where there's a lot of public involvement. "Whether this particular amendment survives is open to discussion." There will be a public hearing on the bylaw before its incep- ; tion. At present it has only , reached the second of three re- ; quired readings and has been ; referred back to the planning l committee.

SECHELT Toll Free 664-6924 MDL 5792 by Iris Griffith Do you go commercial fishing or sports fishing? Then it may be time to sharpen your pen instead of your gutting knife, and write some politicians. It may be up to you to save your fish. An agreement signed this year - but not yet approved by the Canadian cabinet - turns out to be important to all people in sports or commercial fishing. The agreement is between the Nishga Indian Council of the Nass River watershed and the Claims Negotiator of the federal government. It gives to Nishgas, exclusively, a large share of any fish headed for the Nass. Here is why it's important: In B.C. there are Indian lands bordering just about any stream you name. Though the Nass is way up north, if the Nishgas can carry off their arrangement there are already some other bands who expect to get the same privileges. Gulf of Georgia fish, for example, are heading for various rivers in summer and fall. They could, and probably would, be claimed by Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island tribes. So, for the name 'Nass', substitute your favourite fishing river or stream...and you'll get a picture of the possible future. Signed in secret, the agreement has never been made public although it seals the fate of hundreds of thousands of salmon on their way to the Nass to spawn, as well as some herring and halibut. It affects thousands of commercial and sports fishermen and their dependent processors and suppliers. Yet none of these were represented, or consulted, or ever told the terms of the agreement. (Our information is incomplete and comes from 'leaks'). When the run of Nass salmon appears off the coast and after there are enough fish in the river to spawn - when, in the past, fishermen have usually been permitted to work the Nass estuary - under this agreement, only Nishgas would be allowed to., fish. Unless the Nishgas could catch at least 37 percent - of the sockeye and 20 to 25 per-? cent of the other salmon, or/a total of 120,000, fish, whichever is greater, no hon-Nishgas could fish. In years following a poor run of salmon, the Nishgas would get an even higher percentage of the catch. Critics point out that this doesn't bar just non- Indians. A large number of professional fishermen on the Nass are Indians from other tribes, and these would be left out too, despite their own tradition of fishing the Nass. Right now it is a crime to sell salmon which have been caught up the river, above salt water. Under the agreement, it would become legal for Nishgas. Lacking a copy of the document, we don't know whose job it would be to make sure that enough salmon reached the spawning ground. We do know the wishes of several other Indian bands, waiting in the wings to see how this agreement works out. They want to be allowed to catch the migrating fish out of 'their' several streams, sell their catch, and also look after the spawning requirements for that stream.

Phone for Appointment r a great track record in caring for spawners and young fish. Just the same, many believe the basic idea is wrong and dangerous, like letting a motorist be his own traffic cop -even a good motorist. "Who spoke for us?" ask some of the non-Nishgas whose lives are affected by the salmon supply. The answer: no one. The two parties to the agreement are the Nishga Indian Council (which looks after the interests of the Indians) and the Department of Indian Affairs (which also looks after the interests of the Indians). Once the Nishgas, or other native groups, come to 'own' a part of any river's fish, their 'ownership' might in future end up in private hands. There are private interests who would like to control various rivers and creeks for land development, hydro power and other purposes. These people might find it easier to deal with a single, often isolated community than the whole federal government. The forerunners of Canada's government treated the ancestors of present-day Nishgas unjustly. The Nass agreement is meant to compensate for that injustice. Fishermen say: if the whole of Canada was at fault, how come it's the sports and commercial fisheries that pay the penalty? Do two wrongs make a right? If you, too, object to the Nass decision, write immediately to: Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, Prime Minister, House of Commons, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6. Postage is free to MP's, so why not send copies to all or some of the following (also at the House of Commons): Honourable Tom Siddon, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans; Gerry St. Germain MP, National Caucus Leader; Ted Schellenberg MP, Chairman of the B.C. Caucus; Bill McKnight MP, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development; George Henderson MP, Liberal Fisheries Critic; Honourable John Fraser, Speaker of the House, and your own MP.
