Savage, Syd Heal, and his Worship Mayor Bud Koch enjoying themselves at the opening banquet of the 4th Annual Sunshine Coast International Aquaculture Conference and Trade Show; ���Ken CoUins photo Fishfarmers gather A scam just isn't a scam until someone becomes a victim to it. Given that, there are numerous mail and telephone con games operating in North America thriving on the era of the cashless sale. It's so easy... just tell them your credit card number and trust them to do the accounting while you enjoy the leisures of never leaving home. In the case of some free trips and travel accomodations never leaving home sometimes becomes the reality. Recently, . in the United States, travel scams have reached such proportions the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) there has filed charges against three travel companies. But actions against similar operations have proven to be difficult to put together because they move from state to state or operate in Canada while based in the United States. According to the August, 1987, Issue (Vol. 22, No. 1) of the Canadian Travel Courier, FTC charges state the agencies have sold 'millions of dollars of Vacation Passport contracts through the use of misleading and deceptive sales pitches.' They charge that the defendants 'obtained customer's credit card- numbers under false pretenses and billed consumer's accounts without their authorization.' The scams are far-reaching. They operate all over the continent and some suspect they may even be reaching unsuspecting r nfoi'''V ' ii" Conferences scores another success by Ken Collins The champagne flowed freely as Sam Bowman of Moore- Clark, manufacturers of fish feed, warmly toasted the opening of the fourth annual Sunshine Coast International Aquaculture Conference and Trade Show at the Sechelt Arena last Tuesday evening. Two long rows of tables presented a gourmet feast for some 325 fishfarmers, bureaucrats and salesmen. "Believe me we have enough food," announced maitre de Atti, "in fact we have enough food for seconds." "I had to truck an entire restaurant in from Vancouver," said Wharf manager Gerhard Felgenhauer, "The chef, Paul Clayson, has been up since early morning preparing food." And it was not only seafood. Felgenhauer said he had requests for meats. "Some of the fishfarmers have eaten so much fish they get tired of it," he said. Aquaculture Association President Syd Heal, in his welcoming address, ensured that all were aware of the contribution made by Conference Co-ordinator Dora Glover. In spite of the extravagant show of opulence, she explained to the Coast News the need for careful control over seating. Local press were cautioned against consuming food. Sechelt Alderman Ann Langdon was present only as a representative of Master Marine. There was no room for Sechelt aldermen. Mayor Bud Koch, even though he did not speak at the banquet, was invited as was Regional District Chairman Jim Gurney. Lynne Triffon, a reporter from the Surrey publication Country Life was invited. There were no signs of provincial or national media. When all invitees were fully filled and jovial, the Honourable John L. Savage, B.C. Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, gave the opening address. "We are committed to do whatever we can to help this industry," said Savage. He ex plained that the recent moratorium, now lifted, was only to make sure what they were doing was right. "By the year 2000, aquaculture has the potential of surpassing the commercial sector," he said. He said that it was Norwegian expertise that gave us the help we needed. "We can be thankful for that," he stated, "I believe we can see 3000 to 4500 jobs created." He also said he could see summer commercial fishermen being involved in fishfarming during the winter. He mentioned the self sufficiency of aquaculture. "Agriculture is highly subsidized," he said, "I do not see that in aquaculture." He expressed pride in our water. "We have water as good as anywhere in the world," Savage said, "There is plenty of it coming off the mountains." He sees the development of the industry dependent upon good brood stock. "We believe we will have disease free eggs in a few years." Commercial fishermen were Please turn to page 10 Wilson tries to curtail SCRD dining expenses An attempt by Area A Director Gordon Wilson to curtail dining expenses incurred by regional directors was defeated at last Thursday's regional board meeting when only municipal representatives Peterson and Kolibas supported his motion. "No one will argue but that you have to eat," Wilson told the regional board in presenting his motion, "but the taxpayers should not have to pay for your food and definitely not your liquor." Wilson's motion attempted to have travel and food expenses curtailed except for off the Coast and to have off the Coast expenses paid for receipts instead of the $75 per diem presently allowed. Wilson made note of the fact that he personally had consistently refrained from charging expenses. The Area A director made public the fact that so far in 1987 directors have charged $9,900 on travel and $4,800 on dining expenses. There was static silence throughout the boardroom after Wilson made his motion. "It will cost the taxpayers more," Chairman Jim Gurney suggested with some appearance of nervousness. Gurney maintained that if he were to itemize his off the Coast expenses the bills would amount to more than $75 per day.. Director Brett McGillivray of Area D spoke clearly in favour of defeating Wilson's motion and objected to what he perceived as 'implication of abuse'. "All those bills reflect is the . amount of time spent at the Regional Board," asserted McGillivray. Directors Shaske, McGillivray, Gurney, Marsden and Connor voted to defeat Wilson's motion. In other business, Director Marsden reacted angrily when Wilson asked for an enumeration of Area C, Marsden's area, which has been all but taken up in the District Municipality of Sechelt. "I'm investigating this matter myself," Marsden told the Board but the Board decided to write to Victoria to ask for an official enumeration. Shortly after that Alderman Norm Peterson of Gibsons was mildly chastised by Chairman Jim Gurney when he inquired about the possibility of a street light at the corner of Reed and Chamberlin Roads. "That motion should come from Director Shaske. It's his area," ruled Gurney. Director Shaske, Chairman of the Finance Committee, wasn't sure if the expense could be justified. "How much would a light cost?" inquired Alderman Peterson. "About $100 a year," said Shaske, adding that he would need evidence that a light was really needed before he could make such a motion. Gilker Park timber to pad budget Although the fiscal year is only half gone, the Parks budget of the Sunshine Coast Regional District is already gone, but that doesn't concern Area E Director Jim Gurnery. While the financial statements released at last week's meeting of the Finance Committee indicated a fairly standard balance with some departments being slightly over-budget and others slightly under, the Parks budget was conspicuous in the fact that 106 percent of it has already been spent. Gurney pointed out that there was some income still to be received from the sale of logs taken out of Cliff Gilker Park, but Administrator Larry Jardine warned that even with that additional money, Parks will probably end the year with a $20,000 deficit people here on the Sunshine Coast. Bill Lennon of Gibsons Travel Agency Ltd.; believes at least one lady here fell prey to the 'free trip' offer she got in the mail. "I had a client who called to get some information, Sunday, who mentioned she'd won free accomodation at the destination she was travelling to," and because he had seen a recent NBC program outlining the dangers of giving someone else your credit card number, Lennon asked her if she had. She told him she had, so he told her, "If I were you I would check this out right away." The lady, whose name remains unknown, said she would call her bank. The nature of her potential misfortune has been partially shared by others here interested enough to check out their free prize. Nikki Weber of Sechelt says, "I got this card in the mail telling me I had won free accomodation, six days and five nights in Disneyland or five days and four nights in Mexico, and that for further information please phone (the given number) at the time listed on the card. The card said I had to pay in advance and I would be reimbursed for the accomodation. "Just to be sure I phoned earlier than the card said and asked them 'What's the catch? They said 'there is no catch madam, you pay your own way down and back and you get six days and five nights in a hotel'." Weber says they told her then the deal was for two people and . the more she talked to them the better the deal sounded but "I. refused to give my credit card number because I'd heard of something like this before." She says they told her to take - her time, "So I decided that I ��� would." Since then, Weber says she ; has spoken to two people who;^ have received the same cards in;: the mail - one in Sechelt and one:7 in Halfmoon Bay. -L "One thing I'm really con-;7 cerned about," Lennon says,;; "is people living on the Sun- ��� shine Coast who get calls like : this thinking valid agencies here.; are similar to these travel; wholesalers. 7; "Travel agencies don't call:: (or mail you a card) and give* you a free trip and ask for your 7 credit card number. It's booked ��� through the travel agency of.7 your choice and you are billed- directly. We're legal travel agen-'; cies and we don't want people ; to get nervous about dealing : with travel agencies." In the case of the lady who ' called, Lennon says her bank would get in touch with the bank issuing the charge to the card and tell them they are not paying, leaving it to that bank to deal with the person trying to debit the card's account. RCMP Constable Derek Crawford (Gibsons) says, "In this type of operation you're looking at big business type of crime. We have a commercial, crimes unit to deal with major business frauds," and, "This a new field the RCMP have been getting into in the last 15. years...computer crimes, business fraud, and so on. "At the very least,";. Crawford says, "inform the: load police office as to what's.: happening. Maybe it is an isolated thing but they shouldn't feel that way. You never know. what can be useful. One phone call may be that little bit extra which may tell the police something." Helicopter found During the afternoon of September 6, the fishing vessel Terry & Gail pulled a helicopter up from approximately 300 metres of water in Jervis Inlet at the mouth of Vanguard Bay. The Bell Jet Ranger helicopter had crashed several years ago due to a power loss. The pilot had managed to climb out unharmed and was rescued by a passing boat. Miracles can happen and last weekend Jehovah's Witnesses demonstrated how a unified community can build upon their faith by adding to it a new hall in three days. ���Joel Johnstone photo / ������ 2. Coast News, September 14,1987 wiaWTs ofiH�� bov /��� , On anonymity It is not our policy to refer to letters addressed to a different publication but the recent rant from 'V.N. Egan' is an exception in that in addition to slandering the Coast's peace groups on the subject of the Tools for Peace aid to Nicaragua, V.N. Egan, commenting on a picture in the Coast News, wrote elsewhere because he asserted we would not print his letter. Our editorial department could remember receiving no letter from V.N. Egan and were puzzled as to how such an assertion could be made. We failed to find any trace of a V.N. Egan in the Gibsons phone book going back to 1984. No V.N. Egan appears on the voters' list for the Municipality of Gibsons. The Gibsons Post Office has no record of any V.N. Egan. We phoned our opposition. They told us they'd checked the phone book too and failed to find a V.N. Egan but decided to run the letter anyway. They also told us they had run a picture of the same salmon barbecue which occasioned the bile of the mythical Mr. Egan but were not subjected to the same abuse. This business of abuse being anonymously written and published is potentially a very serious matter and vigilance must be exercised if every malcontent is not going to be free to abuse his neighbours under the cloak of anonymity. We made this point to our opposition and they apparently intend to tighten up their procedures. This is by no means the first time anonymous material has been published. We see such non-existent groups as the Sunshine Coast Elector's Association and non-existent concerned citizen's groups taking out advertisements at election time. We recently had a self-styled Silent Majority advertise on behalf of provincial legislation. To his credit, Alderman Mike Shanks has spoken out against the practice of anonymity in advertising, perceiving it to be a real threat to fair dealing and honest debate. As for V.N. Egan, we are not going to speculate as to his true identity but we suspect that the readers thought he had gone to China. If there is a V.N. Egan we will be pleased to run his picture in the paper next week. Slick move We wonder now the good people of Roberts Creek will react to the news that the trees cut down in Cliff Gilker Park have been sold and the money is to go to balance the Sunshine Coast Regional Board Parks budget overspent in other areas. Let's see: the West Howe Sound Recreation Commission gets approximately $25,000 from Roberts Creek towards the Gibsons Swimming Pool. It gives back $10,000 for the cost of logging the park, then takes tens of thousands of dollars from the sale of timber to balance their spending elsewhere. Director McGillivray, when next you shake hands with Chairman Jim Gurney we suggest that you count your fingers afterwards. ...from the files of the COAST HEWS 5 YEARS AGO For the second time this year, ferry service to the Sunshine Coast is threatened with major cuts. The Village of Gibsons is being sued for $55,000 as the result of an accident in April in the harbour when an aircraft, belonging to Tyee Airways struck an unmarked breakwater which was under construction and not visible at high tide. The aircraft sank but was later recovered. Sechelt District Chamber of Commerce writes to Minister of Municipal Affairs, Jack Heinrich, accusing the SCRD Board as being irresponsible. 10 YEARS AGO Charles Lee heads a deputation called CARE (Citizens Against the Rape of the Environment). The deputation attended a Sechelt Council meeting to challenge the lease of one and one-half acres of land at Wilson Creek to the Aero Club. On behalf of CARE, Lee contended that low- flying aircraft are a public nuisance and before a lease agreement was signed, a stipulation should be included to prevent planes from flying under the regulation height. CARE demands the resignation of Alderman Frank Leitner of Sechelt Council and demands that Sechelt Council demand Leitner's resignation or the group will take the matter up with the Department of Municipal Affairs. 20 YEARS AGO Work on the building of a new administration facility for the school board has been delayed pending discussions with the regional board about a building to be used jointly. Frank Fuller takes on the job of Adult Education Director for School District #46. 30 YEARS AGO Miss A.G. Jervic and Miss M. Mclntyre of Madeira Park got a surprise while fishing in Bargain Harbour. They hooked onto what they thought was an unusually large octopus. After half-an-hour they brought up an eight foot octopus to the surface, they cut their line and left the area. 40 YEARS AGO Pender Aquatic Club holds a very successful regatta. Gulf Lines Ltd. announces an improved service for Gibsons. There will be two sailings north bound from Vancouver and two sailings southbound from Gibsons.

We have no quarrel with the travel expenses. $9,900 seems a little high but it is an elongated area and several directors have considerable driving to do to get to meetings and their expenses so incurred are legitimate expenses. The $4,800 spend in eight months of 1987 on dining~out is7 a different matter in my opinion. When one remembers that the municipal representatives, schooled in more rigorous economic practice, do not participate in the regular meals paid for by taxpayers and that Director Wilson, to his credit, has always bought his own dinner, that means that five directors are totalling $120 each per month on subsidized dining. Let's examine Director Brett McGillivray's defence of the practice: "There is an implication that there is some abuse to this," says McGillivray thoughtfully. "All those bills reflect is the amount of time spent at the Regional Board." If there was a trophy given for fatuous earnestness McGillivray would win it every time. Last Thursday, for example, the directors met at three and sauntered through a light Parks Committee agenda. At four, Directors McGillivray and Wilson arrived off the afternoon ferry from North Vancouver and the board obligingly went over the material missed for the two latecomers. And so to the dinner at which time Director John Shaske joined the party. Shaske never makes it to afternoon meetings but he always makes it in time for the free meal. So much for McGillivray's 'time spent at the Regional Board'. Now, God help me, I have been contemplating the doings of the local Regional Board for more years than any sitting director has been on it. I can ; remember, in busier times than these, when there was only one administrator, only two planners, and when the directors could get through their business at evening sessions which obviated the necessity of dining out at public expense on a regular basis. It is my contention that afternoon meetings are not necessary on a regular basis. The Parks Committee agenda could have been gone through in a half hour before the regular meeting last week and our hard-working directors could still have been in Gilligan's before 10 pm. The thing that started the afternoon meetings was when perennial Planning Chairman Brett McGillivray instituted what he has termed 'The Chairman's Briefing' at which time the directors mull over the same matters scheduled to be discuss ed at a Planning Committee meeting later that night. See comment on fatuous earnestness above. The directors got so fond of their nice little dinners out that they have them now on the flimsiest of committee pretexts, apparently. It is my contention that there is not only the implication of abuse in Director Wilson's defeated motion. What Wilson has perceived and refrained from participating in is an unquestioned abuse. What must be remembered is that power corrupts even good and intelligent men and that the clique of sitting directors who always perform the same function year after year and always vote in bloc has been so corrupted. Ultimately it is the community that determines the standards which will govern those in public life and it is the voters who will decide whether or not this regular dining is or is not an abuse and not Chairman Jim Gurney or Director Brett McGillivray. In the past two years I have made the suggestion to two sitting directors, Director Connor and Director Wilson, that it would be more appropriate if the regional directors tightened their belts and donated their dining budget to the Food Bank. I still think it is a good idea. Sonnet 3�� When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And wish old woes new wail my dear time's waste. Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long-since cancelled woe, And moan the expense of many a vanished sight. Then can J grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while J think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored, and sorrows end. William Shakespeare Our faltering politicians by James H. Tyner Canada needs competent, decisive leadership to meet changing conditions. It does not need the wavering government it now has or the faltering politicians eager to replace it at the next election. When the Mulroney Government came to power it was going to change and reform many things. The deficit was to be reduced and soon eliminated by reducing government spending, the unemployment insurance system and other social programs were to be reformed and the crown corporations sold by a harder, leaner government. What did we get? A bigger, softer more expensive government with little courage. We see the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans in answer to a request from fishermen to control the seal population decline as such a step would be politically unacceptable. We see the Minister of Employment deciding he couldn't reform the unemployment insurance system because no one could agree on what should be done. We see the Minister of Finance not only failing to materially reduce the deficit but increasing taxation to cover rising government spending. We see waffling on reform of universal welfare schemes and hesitation on privatization of crown corporations. In opposition we see the Liberal Party split on policy and uncertain about its leader. We see the Liberal caucus supporting one course of action and their leader another. Their performance on Cruise Missile testing, the free trade talks, privatization and the Meech Lake Accord is anything but reassuring. The NDP is no better. Over the years the NDP has moved from socialism to practical politics basing its policy on popular beliefs. It has been reported that the leader considers that with the party leading in the popularity polls it is time for a major review of economic policies. It looks like all the politicians are prepared to soften policies and belief to gain power. The electorate have nowhere to turn. Although many of the electorate seem to have a good understanding of the changing times the politicians do not. Many of us know that a serious problem facing Canada and the world is the disastrous consequences of unabsorbed carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The excessive carbon dioxide is primarily a product of man's industrial activity and is beyond the capability of the atmosphere to control. This carbon dioxide allows incoming radiation from the sun but blocks its escape into space. As a result normal patterns of precipitation are interrupted and diminished, the effect being to bring desert-like conditions to many parts of the world. The politicians seem unaware of the situation. Then there is acid rain causing great damage to many parts of the country. Of course the politicians have recognized this problem and have approached the US president who has put the matter aside for further study. Otherwise little has been done or accomplished. Problems created by the movement of people from the countryside to the cities and those arising from the continuing advance of technology are little understood. They are probably the basic causes underlying most of our economic difficulties. The politicians seem little aware that technology has made the old concepts obsolete and with its continuing advance in all sectors will make work a social responsibility rather than a personal necessity. At the present time the politicians wrestle with distribution - rushing first into inflationary measures then fleeing to austerity - little realizing that such matters of procedure can be determined with accuracy and precision by using the new science of cybernetics. Their present day answer is to turn the whole thing over to the private sector. Finally there is the continuing problem of finance which the politicans continue to mismanage. The high annual deficits and the support of high interest rates are dangerous policies pushing domestic and foreign debt beyond management. The federal deficits, have dominated the domestic financial markets and this coupled with high interest rates used in defending the dollar has encouraged offshore borrowing by provinces, municipalities and business. Now foreign debt is so high . (about $200 billion) that it works directly against the policy of a strong stable dollar. It now takes over 20 percent of Canada's export market to service the foreign debt. The politicians should know that continuing debt financing and foreign borrowing leads to flight of capital, devaluation, inflation and ultimately external interference in domestic affairs. It is too bad the politicians csn't do their job and stop worrying about the next election. Coast News, September 14,1987 Editor: I find it most inappropriate that Janine Kokelj, president of the local branch of the Save the Children Fund, should use her appeal letter for this cause to make sly digs about people who are concerned ('complain') about problems here in Canada. The message is one I've heard before: Because we live in a free country that allows dissent we are supposed to be so grateful that we decline to voice dissent. Because hunger, tainted water, etc. are more of a problem in Africa than here, we are supposed to be quiet about it when such things do happen here. Do I detect a hint of logical fallacy? Poverty and homelessness exist in Canada. Are we supposed to ignore these problems until they are as severe as they are in Third World nations? Those of us who 'complain' do so because, in a democracy, it is a responsibility, not a privilege, to speak out against injustice. In the US poverty and homelessness are epidemic, as money is poured into their government's war machine. Here, our government schemes such as Bill 19, which threaten the working person's ability to earn a living wage, and the proposed Free Trade agreement -with the US agressively demanding that we lower our standards to theirs in order to provide a 'level playing field' - are going to erode Canadian standards of living, and widen the gap between rich and poor. Poor agricultural practices here in North America threaten to turn our farm lands into a Sahara and threaten us with future famines. Are we spoiled whiners if we ask that something be done about these things before we too have the problems that the Third World has? While it is true what Ms Kokelj says about many people taking for granted the resources we have here in Canada, those of us who 'complain' do so precisely because we do not take these things for granted, but realize that they can easily be squandered or taken from us if we do not exercise our democratic responsibility to demand that our leaders be accountable. Fighting poverty and injustice in the Third World and fighting the same things at home are not mutually exclusive causes. There are poor in Canada, not all of whom are unemployed or on welfare. A single mother, for example, working at a poorly paying job cannot afford urban rent, undersubsidized childcare, and job-related expenses without cutting corners somewhere. One of the commonest expenses the poor cut back on is their food budget. To comment that 'the only malnutrition in this country is probably caused by too much pop and candy' is a gratuitous insult to those who are finding it a struggle to feed themselves and their children and is certainly a comment unworthy of someone in Ms Kokelj's position. Anne Miles Wilson praised Editor, It seems of late the actions of Gordon Wilson, endihg most recently with the mess at Coopers Green, has been the subject of criticism in the local media and amongst the residents. I first of all would like to say I supported Gordon Wilson in the last provincial election. Unless something drastic happens I will always, support a person willing to take a thoughtful stand on sensitive issues. I also support Mr. Wilson as Area 'A' Director on the Regional Board. While I do not agree with those whose mission in life seems to be the Regional Board's destruction, I would find it a frightening place if he were not there speaking up. Considering the number of meetings attended, decisions made, discussions and opinions expressed, it would be amazing if he didn't put a size 14 shoe in his mouth occasionally and chew on it for a while. Mr. Wilson does two things politicians and elected officials in this Province seem incapable of doing. He can think, and more importantly, he can think for himself. But let's step back for a mo ment and reflect on Gordon Wilson in a wider context. Besides being a family man, he has a full-time job as a professor at Capilano College in North Vancouver. On top of that he is the Liberal candidate for Coast Chilcotin, an extremely diverse geographic area, and not just a candidate for two weeks before the election. He is now also running for the Provincial Liberal leadership. ;.Thinking about all this leads me to the conclusion that overall he does an excellent 'part time' job as a Regional Board member. Maybe Mr. Wilson shouldn't make comment on Area *B', then again, someone should be looking out for our interest lest we sit back and enjoy the summer. Other more silent and less thoughtful members of the Board may well be better off staying at home and watching the garden grow.

Coast News, September 14,1987 Small Business Centre by Joel Johnstone His cell is well-lit. The'tidy desk and shelves give the impression this is the day off of a man used to having other people lay their cards on the table. He, on the other hand, even dressed casually, carries an air of shrewd ability, confident in his expertise. The lines creasing his brow are made of hard thought, weathered by experience, and when he gives his attention it is complete, even as he gazes out the window to the subject at hand. "Last November," he says, "I got a phone call from the Regional District Board's Economic Development Commission (EDC) asking if I would do a feasibility and implementation study here on the Sunshine Coast. So I went around to small business centres around the province, wrote the feasibility study, and I recommended there should be a small business development centre on the Sunshine Coast. "I presented my report in early February and I understand the EDC decided to go ahead and voted some money for it." Now, Bob Mason is the Small Business Centre. He is the only full time employee working to make the project a success by helping others to become successful. The centre was created, EDC Director Maurice Egan says, "Because people interested in starting a business need a lot of help. Small business people like many other people in our society are reluctant to go to someone else for help. Yet those who do benefit from it greatly. "As much as possible we want to help people to avoid spending a lot of money starting a business where there is no support for it. You can't have a laundry shop where others are already struggling to survive. We want to get people started on the right foot and determine if it is viable." Egan says, "It is not unique to this area for small business to fail for a variety of reasons." The Small Business Centre, Bob Mason wants small businesses to succeed. ���Joel Johnstone photo capilano cxalege COLLEGE MALL DISPLAY Watch for the Capilano College Mall Display on Saturday, September 19, 1987.

"We're very proud of it. It's something that's started very slow because you have to gain the trust and confidentiality of people. Bob Mason is very capable and qualified. Mason is a professional engineer who, after completing over 10 years in industry 'at a rather senior level', was vice- president of a major Canadian chemical company. "I struck out on my own for about four years. During that time, when there wasn't much in the way of capital expansion, I went into education. I joined the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) where for a number of years I headed up the chemical sciences area and then became dean of the engineering division." He found the experience helpful when he was loaned by BCIT to a Canadian development agency involved in education in Zambia, Africa. "I went back to Africa a couple of times...to Nigeria. I went there to source the background of students studying in Canada. To discover their needs. Then I went to Kenya with four other Canadians and toured 16 of their Harembe Colleges, meaning self-help colleges, and out of that came an aid program to Kenya and those particular colleges. "At the end of that tour I ended up in Ottawa on loan to a Federal Ministry Task Force aimed specifically at initial development, where I stayed for two years. And from there I consulted some and worked with the Federal Business Development Corporation programs as a counsellor assisting small business with development. "So what I'm doing here is similar to what I was doing before. It's carried on." Mason would really like to see this project work and so far it has. "Setting ��� up a small business," he says, "is an initiative for a lot of young people compared to the traditional employment available... to set up their own small business and establish their own business. "No one has started a business yet through the Small Business Centre, yet there are one or two out there pulling together good business plans. I know of one who could successfully open a business but there's a few months yet there because the time is not right for it yet." He probably wouldn't agree his office is a cell, but Mason is actually one of many cells making up the framework of Capilano College, where his office is located. It is a public service nucleus for the community surrounding it. Capilano College is one of the co-sponsors of the Sunshine Coast Small Business Centre, along with the EDC, and, Mason says the college staff "has been tremendous. They have gone out of their way to try to make this a success." Their help in secretarial, phone, and mail services allows Mason to deal with the real purpose of the Centre, which he says is to assist, to offer advice, to counsel existing small businesses when they recognize they have a problem and to aid entreprenuers 'in jumping through all the hoops they have to' in order to get their business underway. The Sunshine Coast Small Business Centre is open between 12:30 and 4:30 pm, two afternoons a week. The program, Egan says, will be reviewed at the beginning of the new year. "It depends on how the EDC feels about the continuing success. of such a centre and if there is a need for it. "If it works it'll be a good thing." i��i OB TO/^OtH UPDJO^ Sept. 11 6 mo. 1yr. 2yr. 3 yr. 4yr. 5yr. 1st 10.25 10.50 11.00 11.25 11.50 11.75 2nd 11.00 11.50 12.00 13.00 V.R.M. 10.00 Professional Real Estate Service Stan and Diane Anderson (Off.) 885-3211 (Res.) 885-2385 Vancouver Toll Free: 684-8016 Anderson Realty Ltd., Sechelt Pender Harbour & District Health Centre Society ANNUAL CENERAL MEETING Sunday, October 4, 2 pm in the Pender Harbour & District Health Centre FALL Exercise Wear rom CHICO'S SPECIAL: CanCan Exercise Tights s4oo rHlPfY-q Casual LillLU iJ Wear v.

Risk, a well known theatre director and teacher in western Canada. The foundation will annually award monetary prizes and certificates for excellence in acting, directing and/or playwriting. Recipients will be chosen from working professionals by experts from recognized theatres and/or institutions in Alberta and British Columbia. Mr. Risk was founder and chief director of The Everyman Theatre, which toured plays throughout Alberta and British Columbia during the late forties and the fifties. At this time, there were no professional theatres in these areas. The Everyman Company consisted of young people with whom Mr. Risk had worked at the Banff School of Fine Arts, University of British Columbia and the University of Alberta. During his long theatre career he also headed the Drama Sections of U.B.C. and Alberta's University Extension Departments.

And not enough people are showing up. Maureen Corbin, secretary for the Sunshine Coast Employment Development Society, says the newest project for siliculture is suffering from a lack of enthusiasm from applicants. The need more people to apply for the 11 positions available or they won't have a selection to choose from. The program pays people $270 a week to train in basic forestry, and orientation. Courses include survival first aid, fire suppression, slash burning, hand and power tool operation, brushing and weeding, juvenile spacing, herbicide application and tree planting. It is aimed at providing work for those on social assistance and long-term unemployed but anyone interested can apply. The Work is carried out on crown land in and around the Sechelt Provincial Forest District and applications are taken at the Canada Manpower office on Cowrie Street in Sechelt. Coast News, September 14,1987 A momentous meeting : by Jeanie Parker, 885-2163 This Wednesday's meeting of the Roberts Creek Community Association should not be missed. There are several hot topics to be discussed and you should be there to judge for yourself the merits of the situation. Regional Director Brett McGillivray will be on hand to explain the work on the ball- fields at Cliff Gilker Park, the golf club's proposal fdr expansion, and other items pertaining to the interests of Roberts Creekers. And up for a vote by those who have been members of the Community Association for at least one full year is the question of whether to sell a piece of the land behind the post office. The Association owns the park and down the hill there and neighbouring property owner Philip Locke would like to acquire the flatland below to add to his own lot. The Association's Executive is reluctant to sell the land because it might prove valuable to the community at some time in the future. It used to be a playground and might serve some similiar use. A land swap is one possibility if Mr. Lock could manage to acquire some other land that would be useful to the community. But there must be a vote and by a sizable majority of the membership. So all members eligible to vote are urged to attend Wednesday, September 16 at 8 pm at the Community Hall. And those who haven't done so are urged to join the Community Association: you never know when you might want to register your opinion.

They were married Septenfber' 26, 1927 in Vancouver, a year after they had met at a logging camp on Theodosia Arm, north of Lund, where Ray worked and where Ruby had come to visit her sister. "I remember on our wedding day," said Ray, "the minister said he would have to hurry the ceremony along because he had a funeral to do the same afternoon." "Our children started their schooling in logging camps up and down the Coast," said Ruby, "with me as their teacher supervising their correspondence courses. I did my baking and laundry on the weekends." In 1936 the family came to Wilson Creek to live. "A work bee put our house up on a Sun day and we moved in the next day in the evening." In 1953 Ray started a garbage collection business in the Gibsons district and then in 1955 he and Ruby began the first daily mail delivery in the district. "Thirty-two point eight miles it was," said Ray, "and we did this route for five years and two months." "Around Christmas we delivered parcels on Sundays on our own time," added Ruby, "just to get them out of our way. Everyone ordered so much by mail then." Following Ray's employment at Hillside Sand and Gravel until it closed in 1965, the couple moved to the West Kootenays where Ray worked as a steam engineer on the Duncan and Arrow (Keenleyside) dams. When he retired, Ray built a house in Edgewood on Arrow Lake where they lived from 1970 to 1980. Ray and Ruby now live in Castlegar. The Rhodes had six children, three of whom live in the Gibsons area. They are sons Edwin and Terry and daughter Beryl Williams. "We have 17 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren," said Ray and Ruby. The Rhodes came to Gibsons last week to visit, and on Sunday, September 6, they were honoured guests at a gathering of family and friends in the Kinsmen Hall in Gibsons. �� VALUES M "t&tt WOOD 'furnaces The "Extras" are Standard.

Egmont News Climbing Red Top by Shirley Hall, 883-1154 It would be impossible to live in the Egmont area for long without becoming aware of Red Top, a distinctive mountain above the logging roads on the east side of Jervis Inlet. It's peak has for many years been a goal for climbers and there are historians who suggest that the-- mountain may have had special significance for the Indians in the area. Last week six local climbers set out for a hike to the top. They followed the logging roads to the start of the alpine meadows, where two of them decided to stop and camp. The others proceeded on up. They were Ron Fearn and his son Michael, Greg Howitt and John Seabrook. The climbers, with the exception of Michael, had been up Red Top before, but this time, because some of the logging roads were washed out, they got on the wrong side of the valley, on the right side of the face rather than the left. They realiz- . ed their error but continued up, following ridges in the alpine valley and hoping to eventually find their way across. This they did, but after seven or eight hours hard climbing, instead of the usual three or four. They kept finding themselves on ridges that petered out to a narrow ledge with a five hundred foot drop below. The top was truly incredible, with a long, long view of mountains and sea, the Olympics, the Fraser Valley, Powell River, and way up Jervis Inlet. There were lots of signs of cougar and they saw bears and deer. There were also bugs, mainly mosquitoes, but they left with the sun, and when the moon came out it was wonderful. There were few alpine flowers but many small, wild blueberries. There is also a cairn at the top, made of rocks heaped by climbers over the years. Inside it you can find half a bottle of Tequila, left by Greg. A good make, I'm told.

First prize went to Carl Nordli with his sunflower measuring 17 and a half inches across the head; second Ivan Nordli, 17 inches; third was the MacKenzie children, 16 inches; and fourth Dana Miller, 14 inches. A special prize went to Brittany Sluis for the prettiest. Runners up were Shauneen Crosby, Chris Honn, Amber Jalkern, Meianie Sluis, Vickie Bayes, Crystal Jackson, Jane Jamacke, and Tracy Hunter. Chamberlain Gardens, Green Scene and Quality Farms donated the prizes and a framed picture of a sunflower was also presented to the winner by Miss Audrey Martin who donated it. Ice cream was donated by Truffles. Thank you participants and donors, a very good effort. September is the first month of Autumn - and Jack Frost. With August's lassitude gone, and a tang of cooler weather in the air, there's no time better than now to recall and reflect our planning and planting and work in the garden of this year. No matter how well we have done, errors must be rectified. Continue saving seeds from cherished annuals and perennials, dry well and store in glass or metal containers, carefully labelled. Geraniums will root from cuttings very easily, making plants ideal for winterizing in greenhouse or on window sill. Cut long non-flowering shoots from base of plant, remove all but top leaves and cut off the top two inches. Remove the small stipules at the leaf joints from the tip and the stem. Sink the two inch tip into sandy compost to just below the leaf joint. Gramma's parking still an issue by Ken Collins Gibsons Planning Committee has recounted the parking spaces at Gramma's Pub one more time and has concluded that it is now short four parking spaces. Consequently the town has tabled the application for a building permit to construct an addition to the premises until Gramma's can either come up with appropriate parking within 1000 meters of the building or pays a sum of money into the town parking fund. The fact that the Federal Government, which claims sovereignty in Canada, has given Gramma's permission to utilize crown land beside the pub is irrelevant to all but Alderman Dixon. Chris Danroth, owner of Gramma's, has produced for Gibsons Council a. letter from Transport Canada dated July 6, 1979.

But when it was all com- . pleted, there was room to park four cars as well as provide ample access to the premises. The town says these spaces are on the street and do not count even though they are on crown land. In an earlier interview Danroth stated he had done exactly what the town wanted in respect to requirements for the proposed addition and that it was its height that was objected to and that parking was merely an excuse to attempt to stop him. "I first wanted to build it on the water side where no one would even see it," he said, "but they said it would be over the height bylaw so I designed it on the street side so it would comply." Danroth is presently in Europe and unavailable to comment on the town's latest decision. Conference Continued from page 1 also mentioned in his speech. "After we got down to talk," he said, "We agreed that both industries can survive." But he couldn't have talked to the Alaska Trollers Association. According to Don Rugg, Director of Marketing for the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, the Alaska Trollers have launched a $750,000 US campaign against farm salmon. They look the same but don't taste the same' is what they say. "The quality of a tame salmon starts with the type of feed that is given the animal," said Rugg, "The quality of wild salmon starts with when the animal is landed. "But what is a new improved salmon?" asked Rugg rhetorically, "We do need to have a set of recognized standards." And he also let local consumers know what they were in for. "If the salmon industry is going to have the longevity we expect it to, we will have to sell the best and keep the rest," he concluded. And how do we ensure the best? F.S. Millerd, President of Great Northern Packing Ltd. said he used to call farm fish 'whimpy' fish. "The fish is very soft because it hasn't been swimming around dodging predators. Instead," he said, "it as been lally-gagging around in the net pens getting fed and pampered." Because of this, he pointed out, it is better to ship live to the processors and let them be slaughtered gently. Millard stated the procedure necessary is to remove the oxygenated water and put in CQ2 water, then the gills are cut and the fish bleed 45 minutes in fresh water. Then they are kept in chilled water for one or two hours. And so the conference went. Four intensive days of experts promoting methods by which aquaculture can succeed in the world surrounded by salesmen with just the thing to do it with. Already it may have outgrown Sechelt. The next one is planned for Vancouver with 1500 delegates and 325 trade show entries.

Day two of the festival rolls round before we know it. We arrive at Greenecourt around 9:30 in time to catch George Payerle. George and I, it might be said, work the same side of the street,, both literally and in terms of what we write about. We have a muzzy nodding acquaintance from such pubs as the Lamplighter and the Marble Arch, and know many of the same people in business. I had a chance to talk a bit with George the previous day. His second novel, The Unknown Soldier, is coming out in September from MacMillan. I am anxious to hear him do Ijis stuff. George is a biggish bearded man of 41, who looks as though he has been around, and has. He is introduced by retired English professor, Jan de Bruyn, who knows him from UBC days. George begins by describing the genesis of The Unknown Soldier, which took five years to write and four more to find a publisher. Sam, the protagonist, is an embittered World War II vet of 59. A composite of many veterans, George has known and talked with over the years, in countless Legions and pubs. Divorced, a heavy drinker, still haunted by memories of death and carnage decades before, Sam is a man approaching a life crisis. The main action of the book takes place in 1978 Vancouver and England. Sam, who lives in Victoria, has come to the mainland to seek out his estranged son and his ex-wife. Trouble dogs his tracks from the very beginning. On the ferry ride across, he has an alterca- The doomed oleric by Montague Royal Laws are as fallible as the men who make them. Miscarriages of justice still occur and probably always will. But compared to the way things were a cpuple of hundred years back, \?e live in a judicial paradise. In htis absorbing book The Macaroni Parson (Hutchinson), author Gerald Howson makes this fact abundantly clear. > The subject of Howson's study, the Rev.William Dodd, was a somewhat vain but essentially harmless man who became inadvertently caught in the toils (?f the unbelievably punitive legal system as it existed then. The so-called 'Bloody Code' was in full force. There were over 300 capital offenses on the books and the most trivial of misdemeanours were punishable by public hanging. Even children were frequently executed for petty theft. William Dodd was born in 1729 in Lincolnshire,on the edge of the Fens, the oldest son of the Vicar of Bourne. His father instilled a love of literature in him at an early age and he aspired to become a Writer. With this career in mind, Dodd, a good student, attended Cambridge University on a working scholarship and published a slim book of verse. Once his degree was secured, he moved to London to become an author. For several years Dodd scratched out a meagre living as a hack writer on Grub Street. Then he met and fell in love with a girl of 16 named Mary Perkins. They decided to get married. This necessitated a much steadier source of income than Dodd's writing was bringing in. The answer was simple enough. Using his father's connections with the Church, Dodd became ordained as a clergyman. Dodd's assumption of the Cloth did little to temper his secular interests and a fondness for extravagant living. Both he and his wife enjoyed dancing, good food and drink and fine clothing. Dodd's dandified manner of dressing soon earned him the nickname of the 'Macaroni Parson' (Macaroni was a cant term for fop). Despite his flamboyant tendencies, Dodd became one of the most popular and successful preachers of his day. Royalty often attended his sermons. Dodd continued to write and publish his plays and poems. He also dabbled in social activism and founded Dodd knew several charities. Soon, was a celebrity who everyone worth knowing. Please turn to page 13 tion with a young biker, swings on him and hits a steward by mistake. Both he and the biker end up in jail. In another graphic scene, Sam has an unpleasant confrontation with an aging shrewish woman at the Sylvia Hotel. He has vague plans of picking her up but they end in an ugly slanging match. The woman exits in tears and Sam is ejected for causing a disturbance. Eventually, Sam ties up with his son and, together with the son's fiancee, they go to a Davie Street jazz club. The girl is perceptive, seems to understand Sam and tries to end.the rift between father and son. But nothing is finally resolved. George's writing is powerful, often beautiful and unremittingly honest. It is also very frank. The often salty language does not sit well with two ladies in front of us. They discreetly take their leave about halfway through the performance. The rest of the audience is not so squeamish and rewards George with a vigorous ovation. I want to talk further with George about his book. After the reading, he, local film- developer, Paul Murphy and myself, repair to Gilligan's Pub. (Yvonne is not with us, having taken George and Norma Ryga to visit retired teacher, Cloe Day, who knew him years ago, as a boy in Alberta.) At the bar, George shows us a chapter that he refrained from reading because of the extreme violence. It is a flashback to World War II and one of the most chilling pieces of combat description I have ever read. George described the difficulty he had finding a publisher for The Unknown Soldier. The book bounced off nine houses before MacMillan finally decided to take a flyer on it. The novel is sure to jolt the literary market when it hits the stores in September. 6 John Burnside joins the table.

It was called At This Moment, a classic soul ballad that punched all the right funky buttons. It was a frankly sentimental tribute to a lost love that harked back to the Sixties and earlier, a timeless tune that eschewed synthesizers and the sort of shallow plasticity that characterizes too much contemporary music. At This Moment was like a flower in the desert of yuppie pap - an authentic lament - a real song. Billy Vera, the singer/composer of At This Moment, had been waiting in the wings of popular music for a long time. Forty-two years old, he cut his first record in 1961 when he was 17. He was a blue-eyed soul singer in the mold of the Righteous Brothers, determined to sing black music in the way it was intended to be sung. Vera (whose real name is William McCbrd), enjoyed a bit of minor fame in the Sixties. He signed a contract with Atlantic Records in 1968 and had some minor hits. Then as Vera puts it, "The era of wimp songwriter/ singers came upon us and there was no place for me in the business." Vera literally disappeared into limbo during the Seventies. He spent much of the decade in a state of depression, profoundly discouraged and unable to write. In 1979, Vera left his hometown of New York and moved to Los Angeles. He plunged back into music and put together a powerhouse band called the Beaters. It was a classic R & B aggregation with three saxophones and a trumpet in addition to keyboards, guitars, fender bass and drums. They began gigging around the Los Angeles clubs and soon became one of the hottest groups in the area. Billy and the Beaters performed both original tunes and raunchy soul standards, with a touch of country and western for variety. The combination of hot music and Vera's impassioned vocals, made the group a host of fans, including such luminaries as Bruce Willis, Angie Dickinson, Rickie Lee Jones, Jackson Browne and veteran jazz singer, Kay Starr. In 1981, Vera and his band signed with an obscure Tokyo label called Alfa and recorded two albums. But success still eluded him. The albums went nowhere and the company subsequently went bankrupt. In 1985, Michael Weithorn, producer/writer for NBC's Family Ties, was searching for an original romantic ballad to use in the show. He heard Vera singing At This Moment in a local club and was blown away. The song was used in three separate episodes of the show and rocketed Billy and the Beaters into the limelight at last. The long years of obscurity were over. Rhino Records, a small Los Angeles based label, released Doomed cleric Continued from page 12 But the Macaroni Person's freewheeling lifestyle began to push him ever deeper into debt. Eventually he was driven to forgery and unfortunately was caught red-handed. Although Dodd made immediate restitution of the money, he was charged with the crime anyhow, i Forgery of course, along with just about everything else, carried the death penalty. Dodd .and his wife were taken into custody and one of the greatest travesties of justice in British legal history got underway. Public opinion was almost totally on the bewildered parson's side. Such eminent men of letters as Samuel Johnson worked tirelessly to have the charges quashed. Endless petitions for mercy were signed and submitted. The general outcry was unprecedented. Workshops Two workshops are offered free of charge both to students and the general public at the Sechelt Campus of Capilano College starting Tuesday, September 15. 'Relax Your Way To Better Health' contains tips on how to deal with stress. Five sessions 10:30 to 12:30 pm, will be the best part of your week with easy to learn relaxation techniques. These techniques can help to put you on the road to better health and greater productivity. Students are asked to wear comfortable clothes and bring a pad to lie on. Time Management' is for people who always feel they need an extra day in the week, or are always rushed or feel they waste time. This workshop will analyze your present time use, familiarize you with organizational techniques, and help develop strategies for long and short term time management goal setting. The workshop runs for five Tuesdays, 9:00 to 10:00 pm. The instructor, Bev Hill, has presented many other workshops in these and other topics as part of the offerings of the Achievement Resource Centre at the Sechelt Campus of Capilano College. If you wish to take one or both of these workshops, please register at 885-9310 between 12:30 and 7:00 pm at the Capilano College Sechelt Campus. But the Chief Justice, Lord Mansfield, was a grim implacable man, totally opposed to reform of any sort on the grounds that 'it might weaken the state'. In the end, all the efforts to save Reverend Dobbs proved in vain. On June 27, 1777, the resigned parson was taken to Tyburn Hill and hanged on the public gallows. It is said he died with quiet bravery; He was 49 years old. Oddly enough, William Dodd, the Macaroni Parson, did not die in vain. His cruel fate stirred up a storm of controversy that never subsided. It led eventually to the repeal of the 'Bloody Code' for all but the most serious offenses, and triggered a process of legal review and reform that con- ' tinues to this day. the best of the old Alfa material as a new album called Billy Vera and the Beaters/By Request. It shot to the top of the national charts and remained there for many weeks. I bought the album and was delighted to find that it doesn't have a bad track on it. Like millions of other people, I became a rabid fan. Naturally, when Billy and the Beaters played Vancouver last Sunday, I was there with bells on, along with Yvonne and John and Fran Burnside. The 86th Street Club on the old Expo site is an enormous high-tech cavern of a place with great air-conditioning and top notch acoustics. It is already crowded when Yvonne and I arrive around nine o'clock. The warm-up band, a pretty good local group called Detroit, is hammering out a string of rock oldies. After a bit of searching, we luck on a table with a good frontal view of the stage. John and Fran show up shortly after. Detroit finishes its set and the band exits to good applause. A veritable army of roadies hits the stage and spends the better part, of an hour, moving equipment and checking the mikes and amps. Finally, the lights dim. When they go up again, Billy and the Beaters are firmly ensconced in their places and set to wail. The best way to describe Billy Vera is nondescript. A slight, balding, pleasant-faced guy in a double-breasted suit, he looks almost out of place among his long-haired, much-younger sidemen, as though he has somehow wandered out onto the wrong stage. Then the band blasts into a roaring up-tempo blues; Billy Vera, guitar slung across his chest, steps up to the mike and starts to belt out the lowdown lyrics and you forget all about his slightly-square appearance. This guy knows his business backwards. He's in total command. The club rocks alive with drivine sound. Billy Vera has a remarkably good voice (a legacy from his 'SL GIBSONS LEGION Branch *109 Sept. 18th &19th - Members & Guests Welcome GENERAL MEETING Sept. isth, 8 P #^t West oh Cower Point. Rd. 'til you reaih'the Sea mother, also a professional singer) and he uses it like a weapon. With the Beaters cooking expertly behind him, he romps through the first number, obviously enjoying himself immensely. His enthusiasm is infectious. He has the crowd in his pocket from the start. Vera proceeds to lambaste his way through a long and high eclectic set, allowing his crack musicians plenty of spirited solo breaks. For saxophone lovers like Yvonne and myself, it is a royal treat. The excellent trumpet player even uses a mute, evoking the days of swing. It is a welcome change from wall-to-wall guitars and bogus glitz. In addition to his vocal talents, Billy Vera is an expert raconteur and he lays down an amusing patter between numbers. I am pleased to hear that he has two more albums coming out shortly - one of reissues from the Sixties; the other, a collection of brand new tunes on Capitol Records, his new label. All too soon, the long exuberant set draws to a close. Not surprisingly, Vera finishes up with a fine rendition of his breakthrough song At This Moment, complete with the spooky falsetto line at the end. Naturally, the crowd wants more and Billy and the Beaters return for the obligatory encore. This time he introduces his fine backup group, "The baddest band on any stand!" Vera closes with his long soul epic, Here Comes the Dawn, a truly inspired tear jerker. That's it for Billy Vera's first Vancouver stand. There will undoubtedly be more. We exit the club in a state of mild euphoria. We have been thoroughly entertained. Real music lives! * 0 0 000000 000000 ~ v -���.

Now we were at their Gibsons restaurant and there it was, steaming sumptuously before our eyes. It covered over half the plate and the potato with assorted vegetables were left to find space where they could. Thanks to an ingenious chef they all fit in and included lots of butter and sour cream so that our Texas Special looked as good as it tasted. "I'll have trouble eating all of this meal," I said feebly to our friendly waitress. "Oh, don't worry," she said smiling, "We can wrap up anything left over and you can have a steak sandwich for lunch tomorrow." With that comforting answer, I embarked on a delicious fulfilling dinner that was a bargain to boot. For $10.95 I had chosen a winning meal, or should I say, a winning two meals. My companion had ordered barbecue chicken and was also overwhelmed by the size of the serving. At Pronto's, one can order any of many choices of pizza, but also, appetizers, soups and salads. The 'small' Greek salad was my kind of large size of small. It had lots of tomatoes and sweet onions and was heaped high with feta cheese. The minestrone soup 'of the day' was served in a 'home' style size of bowl that made those two items a lovely meal for 'light' eaters. No wonder I took up my waitress' suggestion and had her wrap up the remaining 12 ounce sirloin. After the salad and soup I could only eat four ounces of the delicious entree. My companion too had a portion of chicken to take home. What is really wonderful is that I will be able to eat very well tomorrow too. But then, at Pronto's in the Cedar's Plaza, all their dinners are tasty generous portions of special offerings. Lately Pronto's has been advertising their weekly specials and now that I know how special the special really is I will be a willing customer on their doorstep so I can order their next week's piece de resistance.

Board aids Driftwood The School Board has granted a request by Driftwood Players to waive the rental fee of $492.00 incurred for their use of the Gibsons Elementary School gym for the Summer Play Parade. The popular summer drama event, which gave the Coast twenty-three days of live theatre, realised the healthv sum of $7052.00, but still wound up in the red to the tune of $1221.00. Trustee Doris Fuller, speaking in favour of the group, said, "This Board has gone on record to encourage drama. We are in effect extending our educational facilities to give kids the opportunity to see live theatre." However, in further discussion on the subject, Trustees Mewhort, Wilson and Lloyd argued that Board policy was being compromised. In the past other groups had been refused similar requests, and a situation was foreseen where any group which was short of funds could make a similar request, thus contradicting Board policy that school facilities be available for community use, provided that no costs be incurred by the School District. "We must reexamine our policy" stated Wilson.

The Executrix Cathorine Laing Box 764, Gibsons, B.C. VON 1V0 #37 The voyage from St. Vaast la Hougue to Le Havre took us along the beaches of Normandy. The chart evokes ghosts of the invasion. There are 120 marked wrecks, two of them buoyed as hazards. It was foggy as we travelled eastward, cutting across the huge Baie de la Seine, a distance of some 50 miles. We did not properly compensate for the current and we were lost somewhere in the fog. About noon a headland showed up, the fog thinning under the hot sun. Nearby were spaced pylons indicating a harbour. A fierce current pushed us toward them and Mouli had trouble maintaining position even under full power. It was plain we were miles beyond Le Havre and outside a restricted harbour. We entered anyway and awaited the slack, then headed back along the coast toward Le Havre. We felt exhausted from the suspense, lack of sleep, and long hours of watching. There was much boating activity. A young couple aboard a becalmed day sailer hailed us and indicated they wished a tow. We took their line and continued on. The harbour of Le Havre came into view and the French couple cast off. Bill pumped the bilges and noticed oil on the water. He looked at the oil level; it looked empty. He put in more oil. The motor coughed and stopped in a cloud of smoke. Now a myriad of craft milled around us at the harbour entrance. We hurriedly dropped anchor. Then began a bad time. A day later we realized that there had been unnecessary panic. Were we too old and lacking in physical and mental stamina? I frantically called for help and a yacht towed us in. Next day the mechanic we called, who spoke a little English, said the motor stopped because of too much oil. A little investigation at anchor and we could have motored in. Bill silently cleaned up the mess. He was discouraged but determined. My sister Margaret and her husband Lefty were joining us in a couple of days. Meanwhile, we explored Le Havre. One of France's most important ports, the city suffered terrible damage in World War II. Three quarters of the city was levelled and most of the historic buildings destroyed. Because of this damage, it lacks the charm of some of Europe's old cities. But near the harbour there are two interesting structures. There is a cathedral with a high tower, eight or 10 stories high, and apertures with stained glass in geometric designs. A huge slab of marble forms the pulpit. The unusual architecture is startling. The other structure is a huge war memorial on which are inscribed the names of hundreds and hundreds of civilians who.;;. lost their lives in the war;'-j civilians killed in the bombing, shot as resistance fighters, or .' victims of forced-labour camps. All through France we were to see these memorials to French . civilians. Mayor not amused by Ken Collins Gibsons Mayor Diane Strom has stated severe displeasure with the recent retroactive pay and promotion given Irene Lugsden by the Regional Board. "We are paying for a promotion that will benefit this individual off the coast," she said last week to the rest of council at their Wednesday planning meeting, "I feel this is mismanagement." "What was the reason," asked Alderman Dixon. "I think Jim (Gurney) saw it was recognition of a job well done and it was kind of a going away present," said Alderman Norm Peterson, Gibsons representative on the Regional Board. "It's a very expensive going away present," concluded Mayor Strom.

Coast News, September 14,1987 19. Editor: Thank you for your coverage of this week's 'Fourth Sunshine Coast Aquaculture Conference and Trade Show'. We are pleased to advise that the results achieved came up fully to our best expectations with a paid delegate attendance of 385 people from as far away as Germany, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Britain, the USA, Chile and Thailand. Trade exhibitors occupying over 80 stalls plus additional with tables wherever they could be fitted in, came from just about every field with an involvement in aquaculture with a large proportion being Canadian companies particularly from B.C. Papers presented were of a very high standard covering a range of important topics of importance to local salmon and shellfish farming with additional attention being paid to abalone farming in California and eel farming in Sweden. The Sunshine Coast Aquaculture Association would like to thank all participants and in particular those volunteers and directors who gave so unstin- tingly of their time together with Dora Glover our secretary/ manager and her office staff. Mention should also be made of the catering department at the Bella Beach Motel for an exceptional banquet on Tuesday evening along with such local businesses as South Coast Ford who provided a courtesy limousine service, which added a touch of class. All, whether named or un named, did a superb job without which the project could not have succeeded. Next year will see the conference moving to Vancouver as part of the far larger Aquaculture International '88 event to be held at the World Trade Centre facilities adjoining the Pan Pacific Hotel. All being well the Sunshine Coast Aquaculture Association expects to host the fifth Sunshine Coast Conference here in Sechelt in 1989. Syd Heal OLLOY B.Sc. Hon.

This" is our first 'summer season' here in Gibsons, and I am appalled at the behaviour of some guests (most of whom were in the under 25 years of age bracket). One of our encounters was with some of the sports participants involved in the first big baseball tourney, and others here for family celebrations of some sort or another. Striving to make guests' stays as pleasant as possible is not going to happen when there are 'rowdies' in the place. I define 'rowdies' as those who, as a result of over-indulgence pro- Ethical investments Editor: On Tuesday, September 22, from 7 to 10 pm at Chatelech Secondary School, a representative of the Canadian Network for Ethical Investments (CNEI) will present a seminar about 'Building Community, Ecology and the New Economics.' Larry Trunkey is a former investment counsellor who now works with CNEI. His presentation will be of interest to many Canadians who are concerned about the growth of their investment portfolios, but vjfho are also worried about investing in companies that support apartheid, manufacture arms or promote the use of nuclear power. Trunkey will describe how investors can create a powerful tool for social change when they make investment decisions based on criteria that acknowledge community needs and resources, that recognize corporate practices, and that satisfy personal financial goals. If you are interested in the social implications of financial planning, pre-register for this seminar at Continuing Education by phoning 886-8841 (883-area residents can call 885-7871, local 27, before 4 pm). There is a $5.00 fee for this session, please pre-pay before September 17. Thank you very much for your continued support in making your readers aware of special interest events sponsored by School District 46's Continuing Education Department. Ricki Moss, Coordinator Realtors chicled Editor: I read on the inside front page of the Sunshine Coast Realtor, "The Realtor Members of The Sunshine Coast Estate Association recognize that the housing needs of seniors and retired persons are not being addressed". Then they have the audacity to start prices suggested, single family home $60-70 thousand dollars; townhouse $50-60 thousand; self owned apartment $60-70 thousand. What are the realtors trying to do on the sunshine coast, price fix, beginning at $50,000? If they are so concerned about the seniors housing problem, perhaps they should be addressing the fact that those seniors who have a problem with housing, are not in an income bracket to afford $60,000 plus apartments or $50,000 plus townhouses. Lighten up realtors, the majority of seniors are not wealthy, or do you only want the wealthy living on the coast? Philip Grafton Investment advice Editor Money talks...so what's your money saying? Mostly "goodbye" I guess. But if you have, or might someday have, something to invest, here's good news. iiton WOOD FURNACES - The Furnace that thinks! SFE STEVE AT AC Building Supplies Francis Peninsula Place Pender Harbour 883-9551 Larry Trunkey, of the Canadian Network for Ethical Investment, will be at Chatelech on the evening of Sept. 22.

Mr. Trunkey can help us put our money where our mouth is. Register before Sept. 18 with Continuing Education at 886-8841 and pay $5. That's a good investment. Iris Griffith uAHtER PUNNING WORKSHOP Women wanting career planning or who are interested In applying tor a Small Business Assistant's Job Bo- Entry Program should attend a workshop: Thursday, September 24 10* 3 pm Capilano College, Sechelt Potential students will explore their personai suitability for entering the Job 8e*Entry Program, through a self-evaluation. Careerplarming will be available and more information generally will be provided about Cot- lege programs. This workshop Is free. Please register by casing 88S 9310 between 12:30 and 7:00 pm, Monday to f ridey* duce loud, obnoxious talking, and or yelling, along with unruly behaviour. The accompanying possibility is also property damage. To be more specific, the first ball tourney cost us glasses (broken around the pool area), damage to a wall as a result of a fight (monies for repair are still outstanding), diving from the roof into the pool (threatened eviction with repeated monitoring cooled the activity), all causing me to wonder whether these adults also have to be babysat to ensure civilized behaviour! A recent family celebration needed me to go out at 2:15 am to try to dull the racket coming from several of the rooms. The offenders seemed to feel that since their group had booked out the place, wasn't that allowed? They, however, did not have to field the many complaints from their fellow guests the next morning as a result of their nocturnal goings-on. Not to mention that one could have used a crowbar to try and rouse the same people at check-out time! None of the above 'gripes' even cover the state of the rooms the maids are then required to clean (granted, they are being paid to clean), or the extra time it takes to restore the rooms to the condition they were in upon occupancy. The sad result from all of this is that the younger age group that do behave themselves discreetly, and with responsibility, get tarred with the brush that the behaviour of their predecessors put upon them. But that's another story! I suppose when all is said and done, these are the hazards of being in the service industry, but it makes it a trial for the family people that are only looking for an enjoyable, relaxing time away from home.

Chamber notes A busy 1987 keeps on going by Gail Sangster During the summer the directors and members of the Sechelt District Chamber of Commerce (SDCC) have taken an interest in the herring fishing in Porpoise Bay, the proposed land swap and gravel mining in the Sechelt area and, aquaculture on the Sunshine Coast. With summer on its way out, preparations for Celebration Days 1988 have once again begun - the date next year will be July 2, so prepare in advance and tell all your friends. Once again it is time to honour our Citizen of the Year -the deadline for nominations has been extended to September 18. The Information Booth has been extremely busy this summer. Thank you to Jennifer, Paige, Heidi and Michelle for doing such a great job. Our inquiries were up 46 percent from last year, with well over 6000 visitors through the centre. The hours of the centre are 9 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, all year round, so if you need an accommodation guide, a map of areas all over B.C. or just a ferry schedule, drop in to see Gail. The next general meeting and election of directors for the' SDCC will be held on Tuesday, September 29, 12 pm at the Wharf Restaurant. The price will be $7.50. Nominations for directors will be accepted from the floor. Membership in the Chamber of Commerce can be individual, small business, company or corporation, so if you are new to the area or have been here a lifetime - don't forget to join, it's a great way to get involved. For more information call Gail at 885-3100. Congratulations to the Sunshine Coast Aquaculture Association for a successful , convention! Langdale to be erased from signs by Ken Collins The Department of Highways along with the B.C. Ferry Corporation are going to erase Langdale from their signs and schedules and Area F Regional Director Shaske thinks it is a good idea. "What's a Langdale?" he asked at the SCRD meeting Thursday evening. He stated that for the people coming to Gibsons or Sechelt, the destination of Langdale was confusing. Consequently, there will be an attempt to remove that name from people's minds. It is planned, Shaske explained, to erect a lit sign at the place currently referred to as Langdale that will have 'Sunshine Coast' in large letters, and below it Gibsons, Sechelt, and Powell River. The ferries will try to follow suit on their printed schedules. Shaske moved approval and the board was in agreement that Langdale as well as Earls Cove should no longer be a destination.

At the secondary level there were 49 fewer students than expected, but, as Superintendent Art Holmes told the school board members at the Septem- New faces on staff Some new faces have emerged as School District 46 completed staff changes, for the fall. Twenty-two new teachers have been appointed, two of whom are United Kingdom exchange teachers. Vaughan Berry of Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, and Paul Duke from Stourport on Severn, Worchester, England will begin their programs this year. Two new French Immersion teachers, Gabriele Bonneau of Fort McMurray, Alberta, and Roger Lagasse, formerly of School District 15 (Penticton) join the Elphinstone and Sechelt Elementary staff, respectively. Martyn Wilson leaves the principalship of Pender Harbour Secondary School after six years to undertake a similar position at Elphinstone. He will be replaced at Pender by June Maynard until the end of this calendar year. Maynard will also serve as supervising principal at Madeira Park Elementary School. Halfmoon Bay Elementary has hired its first principal, Paul Fairweather, who was a principal in the Prince Rupert school district, and Jim McGowan of School District 75 (Mission) comes to the Sunshine Coast to become the new vice- principal at Chatelech Secondary School. ber 8 meeting, high school students often miss the first week of school due to summer job commitments. The increased numbers of elementary students could mean an additional $100,000 to the school district from the Ministry of Education, who contribute $3471 for each student enrolled. Assistant Superintendent Jack Pope jeported that there were 35 requests for cross boundary transfers, and that these would be dealt with in the next few days. In other school board news, Trustee Doris Fuller requested clarification of an earlier motion regarding French Immersion students. It was decided that French Immersion students would be admitted to the program at the higher levels only if they had been attending a similar program at another school. The matter of the school bus stop at Snodgrass Road has still not been resolved. In an earlier discussion with the district, Mrs. Griffith expressed concern for the safety of the children who wait for the bus at the corner of Snodgrass and Highway 101. George Hopkins of the Sechelt School Bus Company was strongly opposed to two previous suggestions, considering them both very unsafe. Still another alternative has been suggested and Secretary Treasurer Roy Mills will report the results to the board at the next meeting. Mr. Mel Campbell presented a case for the nine children of the Agamemnon Channel region, of Jervis Inlet who presently have no school and no- teacher. He suggested that it would be cheaper and more convenient to have a teacher travel to the camps and fish farms, rather than try to establish a school and thereby deal with the difficulties of transporting the children by water.
