For restructuring Victoria sots voting date by Ellen Frith Scene at the Fifth International Aquaculture Conference, at the Arena in Sechelt last week. (See story below.) ���Vera Elliott photo At the Aquaculture Conference Regulations and health the issues by Rose Nicholson The Fifth Sunshine Coast International Aquaculture Conference was held last week in Sechelt. The Honourable John Savage, Minister of^Agriculture aridiFisheriesv iri" his speech to delegates announced coming government regulations on the use i of antibiotics and other chemicals in aquaculture operations. Cultured fish products will be required to meet specific chemical residue tolerance levels whjen they are offered for sale. He; stressed that most of the industry has already developed guidelines for this purpose. A revised licensing framework is designed to minimize conflicts between aquaculturists and the public, or the commercial fisheries. Savage went on to say that in July a joint program with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans was initiated to investigate the impact of aquaculture on fisheries resources. Scientists; wjll;^alyze potenr tiaT interactions "l^ween wUd and domestic salmon populations; whether or not disease transmission can occur; the possibility of chemical and bacterial contamination of shellfish from fish farms; the extent of predation of farmed salmon on young wild salmon and herring; how fish farms may affect the prawn, shrimp and crab fishery and much more. Savage also said his ministry, in recognizing the need for a research, demonstration and training facility, has contracted with the consulting firm of George Hunter and Associates of Vancouver to find a suitable location for such a farm.. This year's conference theme, 'The Economic Viability of Aquaculture in BC,ywas an apt choice in view of recent reports of financial difficulties faced by some fish farmers and an attack of algae bloom that hit local farms a few days before' the conference. But figures provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries show the number of marine fish farms in BC has doubled in the last three years with salmon and trout production increased 15 times. Total sales of all aquaculture products, estimated at $6.3 million in 1986, reached $40 million in 1988, and an estimated $91.8 million is expected in 1989. Salmon sales account for 97 per cent of this total with oysters, clams, mussels, scallops, abalone and marine rr plants accounting for the re- ^^"nammg three per cent; ~ '' Not reflected in these figures is the value of the secondary industries; Sixty-four exhibitors at the conference offered a comprehensive choice of goods and services. Most of these were BC businesses, and nine were from- the Sunshine Coast. Delegates to the conference were offered a variety of panel discussions which concerned subjects like research, marketing, finance, management, species selection and feeding. Word from the ministry of municipal affairs has come from Victoria and the referendum vote on the proposed restructuring of the Town of Gibsons with Areas E and F slated for October 7 is a go ahead. (The alleged deadline date of September 1 was apparently of no significance. See following story.) In answering with a simple yes or no, the question: "Are you in favour of incorporation of the Gibsons area as a district municipality", eligible voters in the relevant areas will decide, in two polls, whether or not the proposition goes through. There will be two polling stations, one for residents of the affected portions of Areas E and F and one for the Town of Gibsons. A 50 per cent plus one majority is needed in each station for any decision. The referendum affirmation from the Minister of Municipal Affairs Rita Johnston was received in draft form by the town on Friday. The original "will be in our office by Monday," Gibsons Mayor Diane Strom said. In view of the referendum date being confirmed, the six members of the Restructuring Advisory Committee (RAC) present at the Saturday meeting voted unanimously in favour of two significant motions. The committee moved that a recommendation from the RAC be made to the Restructuring Standing Committee "that Gibsons Council make a declaration that it is its intention to resign en masse and call an election forthwith in the event of a positive restructuring vote", and that the mandate of the RAC be expanded to permit it to promote restructuring as a positive community development. Most of the discussion leading up to these motions was carried on in camera. "If the vote is not successful the Town of Gibsons will be in a state of strangulation," RAC Chairman Malcolm Fraser said. "It's a fairly important vote." Fraser said he felt the committee had been "very laid back about getting information out but these next 30 days are critical. "I am appalled at the apparent lack of understanding to date," he said. In an effort to raise public awareness and concern about the issues, the committee decided to continue with its information table on Saturdays at Sunnycrest Mall in Gibsons and to approachriGpaSt''-''Cable. Television to Ysee yif some pro- restructuring program could be arranged. Apparently, Fraser said, there is to be a phone-in Please turn to pages Beachcomber to the rescue - saves fishing boat from rocks The Hon. JOHN SAVAGE Local log salvor John Marian has been given high praise for saving the Pender Harbour gilnetter Ruby Ellen if not the lives of its two occupants, veteran Harbour fisherman Louis Nichols and his wife Ruby. The 36 foot Ruby Ellen started drifting ashore on the Trail Islands in a stiff southeast wind Wednesday afternoon after its propeller became fouled in its net. Nichols sent out a radio distress call and several other fishboats rushed to the scene but none wanted to approach shore because they said they feared their lives would be placed in danger. Nichols said he at no time feared for his or his wife's own life but did think he was going to lose his boat, which was pounding heavily on a rock ledge. Nichols' two sons Charles and Bud were also fishing in the southern straits and heard the call. Charles started running up from the Fraser River but was well out of range. Bud was closer, but lost his steering just as he neared the scene and had to remain anchored helplessly offshore while he watched his elderly parents struggle to hold the Ruby Ellen clear of the rocks with a pike pole. Beachcomber Marian heard the distress call from his nearby home and quickly set out for the scene, running his $80,000 tug straight into the rocks and pull- the Ruby Ellen clear of the rocks with a pike pole her keel and bruised several planks but will be able to finish the season. The senior Nichols had the highest praise for Marian, who not only saved the rest of his fishing season and a valuable gilnetter, but refused to take anything for his trouble. ���Y j. ���"���'.'���' Library vote upcoming .P. 2 Lost park review. .P. 4 Whitworth Chronicles P. 5 Police band visits P. 15 Golf Club expansion P. 16 SCRD bulletin.

Garden Bay Lake, he said, was the water supply for Garden Bay and its undeveloped areas should therefore be protected as one side of the lake was already under development.' :' Unless the R3 zoning was changed, Wilson said, "we'll have trouble ad infinitum." Chatelech upgrading "Loyalty-Excellence-Justice, our School Motto," Chatelech Principal Jack Pope told the Coast News, "is striving to create a bond between teachers, students, school and community; a sense of ownership and a spirit of vitality. "The idea to change the decorum in our gym came to me about a year ago," he said. "The gymnasium is, in a sense, the core of the school. The students spend a tremendous amount of time in there and I wanted to have an atmosphere of brightness that reflects our school's spirit. "I got the go-ahead last May and immediately contacted the Baggio family, Jack, Susan and their sons Aaron and Jason, both of whom attend our school and asked them to bring some life into our gym. "The Baggio family donated its time and artistry. Aaron, a Grade 12 student, designed the Eagle Head," Pope said. The Baggios presented the conceptual drawings in July leading to the graphic and layout designs which were then worked closely on with the School District's painters. A week before school started, the Baggio family was found working on the Eagle Head which they finished at 1 am Saturday, September 2.

On September 23 the residents of Areas E and F will be asked to vote on a referendum which will allow them to support the upkeep of Gibsons Library. It is the position of this newspaper that the rural area residents must vote 'yes' on this question. For far too many years the Sunshine Coast has distinguished itself by being the most niggardly area in the province when it comes to supporting its libraries. Recently Sechelt has made some considerable strides towards rectifying the situation but Gibsons Public Library has continued to languish in the financial doldrums. The referendum on library support to be held on September 23 is an acknowledgement by the Sunshine Coast Regional Board that perhaps they have been remiss in their financial support heretofore. The proposed ceiling of $50,000 per annum is appropriate, bringing the regional contribution into the mainstream of per capita contibutions in the province. Is is appropriate, also, in that the library records show that two out of three members of the busy little library are rural residents. The referendum deserves rural support and we feel confident this will be recognized by the voting public as it has been by the politicians. Vote 'yes' on the library referendum on September 23. 5 YEARS AGO "We're being pushed by the people who want to build. There are columns and columns of apartments for rent at $300 a month, clean and stiil no takers." With this statement, Gibsons Alderman Bill Edney made his point clear. There is no shortage of low income housing in Gibsons. Sechelt Council has decided both to opt out of the regional planning fuction and to proceed with investigating possibilities for a downtown revitilization program. Incumbent MP Ray Skelly of the NDP held his seat in last week's election in Comox-Powell River but saw his margin of victory sliced thin by a hard-charging campaign on behalf of Mike Hicks of the Progressive Conservatives. ' The Gibsons Marina should be "substantially completed" by the end of September, marina developer Art McGinnis told the Coast News last week. Gibsons has been selected as the site of the first BC Tel Service Mart as part of a field trial extending phone mart-type services to smaller communities. 10 YEARS AGO Representatives from Hydro, the Environment and Land Use Committee and the Cheekeye-Dunsmuir Coalition met in Sechelt to discuss possible routes and substantion locations. No firm decision was reached. A community referendum is slated for the people of Roberts Creek who will be asked to approve the financing of a $350,000 community centre.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES Canada: 1 year 835; 8 months $20; Foreign; 1 year $40 and consequences Ail week CBC Radio has been asking for contributions to its compilation of war stories to commemorate World War Two which was just starting 50 years ago. Well I have one and it's a story with a moral, perhaps, not only for young lovers but also for anyone who has ever thought he could escape all the consequences of his actions. It began the day a squadron of young English pilots was stationed near Windsor Mills, Quebec, in a village called, St. Francois Xavier, St. Francois for short, which had the only air strip for miles around. I don't remember why the pilots were there, only that they were, by all accounts, a handsome lot. My mother was a young girl tbfen, in her early :_0*sT J?ut already married to my Ei^shY "father who, as an enthusiastic t soldier, had joined the Canadian Army at the very beginning of the war and, consequently, was one of the first shipped overseas. To stay her lonliness, my mother spent time with her best friend, Genevieve, who was not married but who was very anxious to be so, especially after she spied one of the particularly handsome English pilots so near at hand. Genevieve fell in love with the pilot, my mother says, and to all accounts and purposes, the pilot seemed to have fallen in love with her. Clandestine meetings followed. It was necessary that Genevieve and her pilot carry on their courtship in secret as the local girls with the squadron was frowned upon. And the pilots were "English cups of tea", as far as Genevieve's father was concerned so on the day she announced she was going to marry her man, he had a particularly bad shock. According to my mother, who was present when Genevieve told "her "father she was in love with an English pilot, the poor man 'rollecl his ^yes, beat his fist upon the table and demanded to know if his daughter was mad. Genevieve had asked my mother to be present, she said, not only to give her confidence but also because, "My father won't insult the English too much with you standing there 'Iready married to one." As it turned out, Genevieve's father couldn't have cared less if my mother was there or not. He berated the English, the war, St. Francois Xavier and pilots in particular until he was exhausted. Through it all, Genevieve stood firm. Nothing he could say would change her mind, she said. Genevieve's father finally folded and although he did not exactly give his daughter his blessing to marry her pilot, he told her he would no longer put up any resistance. Genevieve, my mother said, was ecstatic and began organizing her wedding. Three weeks before it was all to take place, the English pilot disappeared. His mates in the squadron still left at the air base- could only shrug and tell Genevieve he had asked to be posted somewhere else and she never heard from him again. Thirty years later, though, I found myself sitting next to a fat, balding man who worked for an English bank. We were in the garden of the golf club in Karachi, Pakistan. "Ah ha," he said when he heard I was a Canadian. He scratched his sunburnt head. "I was in Canada once, during the war, in a little place called St. Francois Xavier." By 1969, the airfield at St. Francois had been left to grow grass and it took me a while to realize he wasn't kidding. He had been, he told me, a pilot, and he mentioned a girl called Genevieve. Suddenly I remembered the whole story of her love affair, an incident which was still talked about in Windsor Mills as a warning to all young girls who contemplated falling in love too quickly and with the wrong man. I remembered my mother telling me how heartbroken her friend had been. : There seated before me in Karachi, Pakistan of all places, was the man who had inspired defiance of family, church and tradition in the heart of a young girl and who had then left her so shamelessly three weeks before her wedding. Cutting him short, I abruptly stood up. "I know all about you," I said. "You louse." Environmental notes Battle over nature has been won by Jeremy Frith The closing decades of the 20th century bear one major message for humanity. It is, simply, that we have won. After millenia of battling nature, of fighting to evolve and struggling to survive, we have finally won. This marvellous planet with all its mysteries is now ours to control. But the victory has been a costly one. By subjugating nature we have nearly destroyed the planet and ourselves and the threat of such destruction increases daily. I'm not speaking of that obvious method of annihilation, nuclear war. To be sure we possess the means to blow it all up but, far more insidiously, destruction lies in our ability to push the planet around. The unbridled power that humans possess through modern mechanization is an unprecedented strain on the world's natural resources. As a case in point consider that in one year in the early 70's the once teeming herring schools of the Bay of Fundy were wiped, out through over-fishing. Similar happenings occur regularly now in all aspects of man's interaction with the natural environment. Animal and plant species become extinct on a daily basis, ecosystems become overburdened and burn out. Yet, many ecological disasters are impossible to see. Only fishermen really know the fish are no longer there. Only the scientist can find dioxins or monitor PCBs. There is, however, one arena in which environmental degradation is immediately obvious on a global scale. The visual impact of our devastated forests cannot be hidden. From Borneo to Brazil, Nepal to Nigeria, Cambodia to Clayoquot Sound, the pressure of tree cutting is unceasing, the results hideous and ecologically disastrous. Worldwide deforestation is affecting weather patterns, increasing global warming and accelerating soil erosion and the loss of wildlife habitat. Essentially, because of machines, we are able to attack and down more forest per forest-worker than ever before. In the third world, 'slash and bum' agricultural methods are frequently responsible for much jungle clearing. Where axes once limited the scale of such operations, the use of chainsaws and bulldozers allows for trees to be cut in huge numbers. The resulting erosion and nutrient loss leaves the land useless for crops or trees for decades afterwards and even centuries. This process continues on until the last hill is cleared and the forest is no ''mon.^-y]yyv^y'-:-y In North America, we have long sat beside our vast stretches of flat cropland, much of them once hardwood forest and in our gentler temperate climate smirked at the folly of such ' primitive practices as 'slash and burn'. From time to time we protest the destruction of the Brazilian rain forest and the annihilation of its Native Indian and unique animal inhabitants. We have held ourselves up as paragons of civilization and modern scientific managers of the environment. If you believe that then drive to Ucluelet or along almost any highway in BC. The large scale clear cuts you will see are the result of the profit motive in action. They are caused by an expansionist economy that requires more resource volume each year. It is not loggers that cause clear cuts. Forest workers are wage earners that work under instructions. All too often their lives are put at risk by profit- motivated policies from above. The fact is that the forest products companies are largely responsible for clear cut policies. Their insatiable demands for more and more wood has pushed EC's Annual Allowable Cut to 90 million cubic metres. Meanwhile the province loses 80 million dollars annually to soil degradation (caused by bad logging practices), a figure that is rising steadily. The need for greater profit margins sends more half million dollar machines and fewer men into the bush yearly. Greater economic returns of clear cutting are reducing logging jobs, not environmentalists' protests or Native land claims. To deal properly witliYthe forests requires more hands on manpower, gentler logging techniques and government foresters with power to dictate to the multinationals instead of the reverse. More selective logging can be accomplished here as it has been in Europe for centuries.'- ;. y"YY. If it: costs more then perhaps it is time, for corporate shareholders to share the costs. It is time for us all, to share the responsibility for the world's environmental decline and do something about it. It would appear that public outcry gets results because the size of clear cuts is diminishing and the practice itself is suddenly coming under government review. We must cry out even more at every sign of ongoing environmental damage. We must urgently cease our fight with nature, for though we may have won the battle jive certainly stand to lose the war, _S___ ���--tut -, RIBBON I AWARD Your community's AWARDMIfyNIMG newspaper 1 <: ��� < ' _ . . ., -r --:��� ����������� ,j...tJ...

It is a group %that is opposed to the way our government is trying to force the French language upon all Canadians. Many of us are as opposed to this ever increasing practice as much as the people of Quebec would be if English was forced upon them. Their right to the use of their language was written into history long ago. Let's have equal consideration. As for you mentioning our friend Larry Labonte - I couldn't agree with you more! He was indeed a very fine mayor (as you would have been) and he is a credit to the community. I'm sure that the students to whom he spoke in French were delighted - imagine how our Japanese visitors would be impressed were Mayor Strom able to greet them in their language. It is regrettable that Mr. Knaus chose the word "contamination" in reference to the inclusion of French on the CBC news channel in BC when the reverse is totally unacceptable in Quebec. His choice of a word probably stems from the fact that English is not his first language. Being a Canadian who was born in Switzerland he probably thinks in his mother tongue before speaking and more particularly when writing. I would prefer to think that he meant "an unwanted ingredient" in our way of life in British Columbia. I might add that Mr. Knaus speaks five languages including French and Sri Lankan. You as a former teacher, John, would understand that some meanings are distorted or lost in translation. I'm tolerant enough to think this was the case. Being English born (with Parisian French relatives) I v^ell know, as you do John, that we Scots and English are known to have language interpretation problems. Let's not confuse French people with the manner in which the French language is being imposed upon us. It was a most charming French Canadian who introduced me to his buddy, Bob Maxwell, presently my husband of 49 years. Joy Maxwell Editor's note: The following was received for publication.

Where I criticize I try to come up with a workable solution, which is more than many writers do. The comments that I dislike teachers is unfair. What I am working on is the accountability of teachers to the tax paying public in the face of a functional 25 per cent illiteracy rate among Canadians.

Gibsons Council Upon driving by the tennis courts in Lower Gibsons last Sunday evening, I was reminded of the notorious stench emanating from the Gibsons Sewage Treatment Plant. This continues to be an ongoing problem and I fully sympathize with the' homeowners who have been forced to live, with these unreasonable living conditions for so long. This problem should be given top priority and fixed properly. This will be expensive but bv spending now, hopefully money will be saved in the long run. The taxpayers in the vicinity of the Sewage Treatment Plant have been extremely patient. They have watched as their properties have become less, desirable as they are affected by the stink. I feel these homeowners, at the least, should be exempt from paying ^property taxes un- '- .til theproblen^ jscleared up, or that theYTown of: Gmsons:; should buy the properties of families who wish to relocate. ArtDew Gibsons, BC Common sense Editor: Despite Dr. Westlake's anti- abortionist propaganda printed in her letter to your paper last week, common sense tells us that if a pregnant woman really wants to abort, for whatever reason, she will. Common sense also dictates that sterile facilities should remain available locally for this procedure for, as the good doctor so graphically points out, abortion can be life-threatening, even under ideal conditions. Presently, St. Mary's performs therapeutic abortions on a limited scale, but we cannot take this for granted. If a certain group has its way, this will stop, and on September 28 we may wake up to find that our local hospital, like the one in Richmond that recently banned abortion, is turning away desperate women.

Instead, council has given the society time to study the reports from the building inspector and the town planner which were requested at the August 15 council meeting. The prime goal of the SCMHS is the construction of the replica of Captain Vancouver's ship, the HMS Discovery and it has asked the Town of Gibsons for "interim use" of the waterfront park as a building site for this project as well as for the old Fire Hall, which the SCMHS has proposed moving to the park from its present location across the street, for use as a maritime museum. The scheme, in the words of Gibsons Economic Development Strategy Committee is "unequalled" in "charisma and economic potential". The Building Inspector Ralph Jones concluded, however, after his examination of the old Fire Hall: "The cost of moving this building would be more than the replacement cost of new material to replace existing frame on a new foundation." And in his planner's report last week, Buchan said he has misgivings regarding the SCMHS proposed use of the park which he "cannot reconcile", and he raised various concerns. "Do the people of Gibsons wish this major land asset to be used in this 'temporary' manner?" Buchan asked. There is also no provision, he said, in the zoning by-law for temporary use of the park as a shipyard or for ship construction. "Similarly, museums are specifically permited in the administration zone only." According to Buchan there are also the potential problems of harbour congestion with the proposed site' difficulty in the dredging of the water area; hydrological problems which could prove a costly impediment towards the society's pro posal and the fact "without a long term guarantee that Gibsons would be more than just a nominal home port...the economic development benefits would be drastically curtailed from their full potential - being more or less reduced to the ship's construction period only. "The subject proposal," Buchan said, "if pursued successfully to its conclusion in a suitable location, has the capacity to be a world-class event, with a lasting positive impact. "However, I cannot disregard my lingering discomfort with this situation and I must, with all due respect, recommend against the temporary use of the municipal waterfront park for the society's proposal." The 'might-have-been-park' at the mouth of Roberts Creek now has a partly constructed private house on it but the discussion goes on. Bob Michor, agent for the Toronto owner of the property spoke to the West Howe Sound Recreation Commission (WHSRC) last week. "If the $72,500 (that was discussed verbally) had been put in writing" he said, "you could have a park there now." Michor went on to outline the developments that he said started four years ago when the regional district offered $1 for the property, while the owner was asking $100,000. Lengthy discussions resulted in a top offer from the Sunshine Coast Regional District of $68,500, the appraised value. But this was too little and too late and came just two days before the planned concrete pouring date, after the owner had already spent a great deal to prepare the site for building. "The board said we had to have an appraisal" explained WHSRC Chairman Brett McGillivray. "You can't spend taxpayers' money without an appraisal." "It's a sad story" Area D representative Hans Penner commented, "that for $10 or $15,000 we couldn't reach an agreement." "The point I'm trying to make" Michor concluded, "if you're interested in any piece of property, make'sure you're involved with what's happening, don't just leave it up to the regional district."

"A lot of people have really not paid attention to the brochures or to the press," Fraser said. "There is an abysmal lack of knowledge." He said he hesitated to say this lack was "typical" but RAC committee member Jane Sorko said she would say it for him. As for the chances of air time on Channel 11, "I feel there are those at Channel 11 who are adamantly opposed to the proposition," she said and she recommended an attempt to interest other television stations to pick up the story. "If we can come up with something outrageous enough," she said, "we can attract provincial television." She advocated the RAC saying something "horribly outrageous about the mill", for example. Jim McDowell, the reporter covering the RAC meetings for The Press newspaper interjected: "You need a stunt," he said. "The opposition is a stunt in itself." He commented that the committee could organize its story before contacting a television station and to list issues and questions so a news reporter (a particular one from BCTV was mentioned) could come to the Coast and do a news report quickly. which is the most powerful medium," McDowell said, "you have to package it." Fraser said he felt the issue was that if the area doesn't restructure it will be "an opportunity that can be mi>sed which is a story in itself." The one concern of the RAC which had not been addressed in the draft from Victoria was the budget issue. Up until now, Alderman John Reynoldds said, the monies spent by the RAC were "coming out of the town's coffers." There was $4400 not budgeted for and he didn't want to spend additional funds, he said. "We have to find the money somewhere," Mayor Diane Strom said and told the RAC the issue would be raised with Gibsons Council as soon as possible. A "fairly small" meeting between the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) directors from Areas E and F, SCRD Chairman Peggy Connor and Finance Chairman Gordon Wilson is slated for Tuesday. Blane Hagedorn and Malcolm Fraser will be representing the RAC and there will be one member present at the meeting from Gibsons Council. _ _ Timeline" is reviewed by Ellen Frith The "time line" of correspondence regarding the proposed date of holding a referendum on restructuring was explained by Gibsons Alderman John Reynolds at the September 5 council meeting, and he read aloud, on request from a member of the audience, the August 23 letter to Mayor Diane Strom from Minister of Municipal Affairs Rita Johnston which stated she (the hiinister) "could not commit to a referendum on October 7." : In opening her letter, Johnston apologizes for her "tardy reply to your request for a restructure referendum" and adds that the Gibsons proposal is "a complex and comprehensive undertaking." According to Reynolds the "time line" of correspondence began on February 7, 1989, when the original Gibsons Restructuring Committee recommended May 20, 1989, for the restructuring referendum and included three other communications before the June 13 official request from Gibsons Council to the minister to: direct a poll to be taken October 7, 1989; to hold a split vote and to approve further grant monies to cover the costs of disseminating information. Those letters were followed by an August 9 letter requesting a response to the June 13 one and an August 17 letter "further requesting approval of funds." On August 31, Reynolds called the municipal affairs office and asked if council, "should consider the October 7 date as dead or if there was still some hope it may be approved." At that time, he was told, he said, the October 7 date was "still possible".

Apparently it is the proposal "that the Port Mellon mill of the Howe Sound Pulp and Paper company be brought into the community," which is the central focus of the discussion taking place in Victoria. The issue was brought before the provincial cabinet on August 30 and now, according to Strom, "it's sitting on Premier Bill Vander Zalm's desk". She hoped, she told council last week, to hear from Victoria "within a couple of days." The decision to allow a , referendum vote on October 7- came to the town from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs on Friday. It was not clear that any changes in the Municipal ; Act were required. . i ^ :; ,,!:: -;���������'������' -"��� ' ��� ���- m.-; <->nY ������ iX3Ii Chronicles by Dick Kennett The passing years may come and go, but I go on forever! These words are my response to Madge Whitworth's recent outburst, "I've just about had it I think, Dick." Now past 86, the Whitworth Chronicles reveal the humour of this former Roberts Creek matriarch and historian so, before they put a tag on her toe, death is no stranger to Madge Whitworth Newman, as I relate her undertaking adventure. "When I was a young lady our neighbour Tom Loney came over to our place on the the Crowe Road and informed mother and me that his wife had just died. I said if there is anything we can do, please ask. "The next morning Tom showed again and asked if I would take my makeup kit over and touch up his wife's face; no undertakers or funeral parlors in those days. "I had never seen a corpse nor had I been in cosmetics. Then I thought there would be few people at the funeral what with little transportation from Roberts Creek. "Over I went to the Loney's with cosmetics and a cross which I had made of two cedar kindling sticks covered with ferns and spring pansies, and there in the living room was Mrs. Loney in her coffin resting on two saw horses. "In life, Mrs. Loney had been quite colourless and I thought too much rouge and the like on her face will turn her into a clown so I did what was best and left." Rural Life for Madge has been rewarding to this day. Besides raising her son Jeff, she was Surrogate Mother to two young girls from two nurses and she raised them for more than a dozen years, well into their teens. ^ On the occasion of her recent birthday one wrote this, "My prayer for you is that this year would bring fewer hassles with medication, more good books to read, few household problems, many flowers in your garden, delicious food and the company of good friends and loved ones."

In a four-page letter to council containing approximately 20 signatures, a newly formed group of "Gibsons Harbour Concerned Citizens", stated emphatically that the August 2 beach unloading proposal from Nickel Brothers was unacceptable to the group whose goal is "to preserve the marine life and- recreational values of the bay..." The citizen's group suggests Nickel Brothers seek a non- residential/recreation site for its heavy equipment transportation operation. Alderman Gerry Dixon said he agreed with most of the points raised by the group and Mayor Diane Strom said, "Their concerns are our concerns." A copy of the group's letter will be sent to Nickel Brothers and Town Planner Rob Buchan said he was expecting to meet with a representative of the company involved "shortly".

All three local governments received the letter from Cranbrook Council at their general meetings last week. Cranbrook is encouraging other BC municipalities to broach the issue of hazardous * waste storage within municipal ! boundaries at the Union of i British Columbia Municipalities ! (UBCM) convention to be held J.later this month in Penticton. I The PCB issue in Cranbrook ; began on August 23, 1988 when [Kelly Douglas and Company [Ltd. transported 24 barrels of jPCBs and PCB contaminated ; waste from Vancouver and stored it in its warehouse in Cranbrook. A week later the local Worker's Compensation Board informed Waste Management of the situation. On September 2, 1988 Kelly Douglas applied for a permit to store up to 1300 litres of PCBs and up to 5000 kilograms of PCB contaminated materials in the Cranbrook warehouse until a provincial treatment and disposal unit is built. The City of Cranbrook countered on October 3 by passing a by-law which provided, "...no person shall tranport and store PCBs generated outside city boundaries into the municipality", and Kelly Douglas temporarily relocated the offending materials to a BC Hydro substation outside the city limits. In spite of strong opposition to the application, and a public hearing in Cranbrook which drew over 200 local residents, the provincial government granted Kelly Douglas its permit on June 16 of this year. The government informed Cranbrook its by-law was "considered inoperative."

Economic Development Officer Bill Moore told the Coast News this was not, in his opinion, a possibility. Sechelt Council filed its letter from Cranbrook for information but the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) moved to support Cranbrook in bringing "pressure on the provincial government to do something" in regards to hazardous waste storage in the province. Gibsons Alderman Gerry Dixon said at the SCRD meeting, September 7, he felt the Cranbrook by-law deserved support at the UBCM. "The people who create them (PCBs) should have a place on site to put them," he said. Area E Director Jim Gurney, however, felt the City of Cranbrook had a "very narrow minded approach to the issue." He felt it imperative, though, the provincial government resolve to seriously consider alternatives to the problems of PCBs such as neutralizing them at their source. He also felt, he said, that proper shipping and storing of hazardous wastes at specific sites in the province was preferred to having them spread out in small amounts all over BC. "We should support the bylaw," Area D-Director Brett McGillivray said, "and try and put pressure on the provincial government to do something. That's why we're there at the UBCM, to put pressure on the provincial government." An appeal by the City of Cranbrook against the Kelly Douglas permit has been lodged and the hearing is set for late November.

Hi by George Cooper The great blue flag that has flown all summer atop a 100 foot cedar on North Fletcher has just been hauled down for refurbishing. The flag, visible to boaters on stretches of Howe Sound and the Strait of Georgia as well as to many residents on Gibsons' slopes, has been a topic of conversation this past summer. The Coast News' Guess Where used a shot of it a few weeks ago. "The design developed spontaneously over drawings by Mark," said Evi Blueth. "He likes flags and thought we should have one." So, over supper the idea developed, and 14-year-old Mark followed through to do the actual sewing of the flag assisted by his Dad, Peter Anson, and Evi. In the centre of the flag is a logo-like combination of sun, moon and a watchful eye. "No, it expresses no special theme, but the symbols seemed just right for our flag." Peter said that getting up the tree was a scary venture. "Lots of sway as I got near the top to clamp the stripped-down TV aerial in place." Peter said the branches were well spaced to make the climb fairly easy, but he was not looking forward to when he would climb again to bring the flag down. "The breeze is always fresh up there, and the flag is beginning to fray." ~N Stylish ;';:Y-Y-^/?0|llWv;.Yr:v: Coordinates Limited Quantities Just for You PRICE #5? Just for you The Ansons had used this same material commercially made flags are made of "although we did make our first flag out of a bed sheet." Peter Anson only saw the flag occasionally this past summer since he has been away in Manning Park on a catering contract to a youth work project. I modified a Bluebird bus to make a kitchen that meets all health regulations and this is my third season providing food and camp requirements for various wilderness projects that employ youth." This past summer a selected group of Grade 11 students, 12 boys and 12 girls, from across BC worked in a 56-day project with six supervisors to widen a stretch of the Dewdney Trail for use by pack horse. The site is 20 kilometres from the park's west entrance. "You see the youngsters develop a sense of purpose and resonsibility very quickly," Peter said. "They change before your eyes." JOBIES' REUNION October 15 is the date of a reunion of all those who have been members of Job's Daughters of Bethel 28, and of other 'Jobies' who have visited here over the years. The place is the Masonic Hall in Roberts Creek at 2:30. A potluck supper will be served. Call Marg Hauka at 886-8236 to register.

OFT TO OTTAWA Former Gibsons alderman Larry Trainor and his wife, Marie are now residing in Ottawa. "We've left our spacious home on Martin Road with some regret. Now to accommodate ourselves to apartment living." Larry served on council from 1978 to 1982. During that time he chaired the committee that initialized the marina project. The Trainors have a daughter and grown granddaughter in Ottawa and they return to a city where they resided for many years. "It was a decision we made reluctantly but our daughter persuaded us to come to Ottawa." Larry was an officer in the regular army, serving most of his military career of 33 years "and one day" in the Pay Corps. Sister-in-law Vera Trainor left Gibsons at the same time to live in Ottawa.

Soames transfers water system The Soames Point residents voted overwhelmingly at a recent referendum in favour of transferring the Soames Point Waterworks District's "rights, obligations, assets and liabilities" to the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) which will be, Area E Director Jim Gurney told last week's board meeting, "a good addition to our water supply." "With a very little money," he said, "it'll be a very good water system." Of the 114 ballots issued in the referendum, there were 92 returned of which 81 voted in favour of integration with the SCRD. SCRD recycling The paper supply at the Sunshine Coast Regional District office is running low, apparently, and any re-ordering of supplies will now include recycled paper products. "Recycled paper isn't bright white," Area A Director Gordon Wilson said, "but the SCRD should be responsive to environmental concerns." The school year starts for these students in a brand new Halfmoon Bay Elementary School. Estimated enrolment for the 'A social pollution' school this year was 80 but the actual registration is 113. (See Halfmoon Bay column, Page 20.) ���Vera Elliott photo Sechelt citizens fight vandalism by Penny Fuller Residents around Snickett Park in Sechelt are organizing ir an attempt to deal with the "social pollution" which has plagued that area this summer. They complained of noise, litter, speeding, drinking and harassment of both residents and visitors along the boulevard in Trail Bay and around the park. Staff Sergeant Stelter was part of a meeting held Septembejf I-;' whichYincluded Aldermen jyttke. Shanks and Doiig Reid^Hfeh 0>xxt acted for comment about the situation, Stelter said the meeting was actually about traffic and some residents desire to restrict driving along the boulevard. "You're going to make a big story out of this," he said, "and its not a big problem." The Sfaff Sergeant maintains the problem this year has been no worse than other years and that the situation is being blown out of proportion. "It's the same behaviour that kids do all over the Coast," he explained, adding that complaints to the RCMP seem to have been mainly about 'kids cruising', littering and noise. "I don't want to belittle this," he went on. "We respond to every call by residents and have numerous extra patrols of the area." This includes about 20 visits to the area each day. The recommendations that ea_ne=out of the.ad hoc meeting, 'were presented to Sechelt Council at last week's meeting by Alderman Reid. The residents want the boulevard closed to all car traffic and turned into a waterfront park from Snickett Park to the walkway east of Trail Avenue. Relevant to that, they made four other suggestions toad- dress the resultant parking problem. k%t From The Producers, Cast & Crew Of ,. .v* The Beachcombers Thank You Gibsons For a successful 18th Season mmmmm ��� ���vi .1 ���..ii..i n jui, .in.. ��� i�� i.niqwnvwiaflltqpmr^nTrnTtiwWp^ Thank you for your help, your patience and good-will.

Prank cuts off power An opening day prank by four or five of Chatelech High School's Grade 12 boys caused a power cut-off last Tuesday morning at the school and because of set call-out rates by the BC Hydro and the School District's crews who responded to the problem, it has ended up costing the boys a total of $600. "They realize it was a silly thing to do," Chatelech Principal Jack Pope told the Coast News, "and they are doing everything to make up for it. The boys, who all stepped forward and identified themselves as the prank perpetrators are also organizing and running the school's noontime sports program from now until Christmas as further compensation for their actions on the first day of school. There was really no damage done, Pope said, to either the school computers or to anything else. "It was just a silly thing to do," he said. Plankton Reid said the RCMP had agreed to cooperate with the latter recommendation. During discussion which followed Reid's presentation, council learned of the considerable damage that had been done the previous weekend at Kinnikinnick Park. Alderman Mike Shanks told the meeting gates had been chopped down, posts uprooted and considerable damage done do the playing field by cars doing Iwheelies'.

This company includes another fallen Man of the Cloth by the name of Reverend Phillip Goodwin. Goodwin is facing the noose for the cold-blooded and most un- ministerly slaying of a Los Angeles stockbroker. Herb is sympathetic at first but, despite their similar backgrounds, he finds little in common with Goodwin and soon dismisses him as a vain and empty man. Herb is far more kindly disposed towards an outright atheist named Curly Thompson. A tall rawboned man with red hair and bad teeth, Thompson, now in his mid-thirties, is slated to walk the last mile for the murder of two policemen. He will walk it as he habitually walks, with the long steady stride of a Kentucky hill farmer. One day he confides his stoic philosophy to Herb: "My old man was a preacher but I never cottoned to it. I've done without it most of my life and I don't have any need for it now. I figure every man goes it alone and if he's stupid enough to get caught like I was he has to pay the price alone too. Praying ain't going to change anything. But don't you worry none, I'll die game. I won't need any holy words to prop me up at the end." Rhythms of Life Parent-children problems by Penny Fuller i * ^ ���___ |" There's a whole group of I'- people in their late 30's and ear- *?ly 40's who found themselves, p|last summer, waving farewell to ^parents who were 'hitting the road' in a motor home, sporting ,a cute bumper sticker that reads jss'Tm spending my kids' in- |heritance' as their adolescent ^offspring, a safety pin in one | nostril, filled the house with |heayy metal^Ojdcv ^ _,,. ��� fo 'It's bard $^ infuriating; Ytihe "'��� kids ^themselves, yourYparentsY ^laissez-faire attitude, or hearing kyourself echo your parents' ^ultimatums in an eerily familiar *voice. �� Phrases like 'You've got an p;attitude problem' or 'nobody's going to hire you looking like *,;that' are coming back to haunt $Ypf;:-j^^^ Y^yidiiality) was in Cancel (the sign associated with the home; families, and parenting).

In other words, now that you've settled down and established your own status quo, the flanking generations are going to help your growth by disrupting your life and challenging your values. It would all be a lot easier to handle if your marriage (separation, divorce etc.) weren't going through such upheavals at the.^ mpment^but that is also part, of' ^ the arena of life known as' 'family' and that's where the' shake-up is occurring. There is hope in sight, however. These stages of personal development don't go on forever. Just as puberty and menopause pass in time, so does your Uranus opposition. Actually, by the fall of 1990 much of this turmoil will have calmed down for you. At that time it will begin for your younger siblings. Everybody needs freedom to be themselves, you just have to be cautious that your freedom isn't at somebody else's expense, and .vice versa. You might also try to avoid overreacting. It could lead to actions that you'll regret later. If you can step outside the situation, you will recognize that this is just another stage of personal growth and you might even thank your family for acting as catalysts for your development. Herb has somewhat less respect for BID Bringhurst, Thompson's partner, who has been sentenced to hang on the same charge, Bringhurst is a husky, six-foot, black-haired man around 40. Lacking the straightforward fatalism of his crony, he has elected to embrace the doctrines of Christian Science in his dwindling days. A minister of that faith will accompany him to the scaffold. For both atheist and eleventh-hour convert, however, the end is to be much the same. The date of their joint execution is set for Good Friday. After some consultation the affair is rescheduled for the following Monday in order to avoid any odious comparisons with the Crucifixion. Promptly at 10 minutes after 10 that morning they drop through the trap. Thompson's neck is cleanly broken. Bringhurst's demise is somewhat more gruesome. The hangman has made a misjudgement and Bringhurst's head is almost torn from his body. But justice has been served and there they dangle, partners in crime; brothers in death. It is a brutal, eye-for-an-eye world that Herb Wilson has been thrust into. This is a way- station to eternity and death sits always in one cell or another. Herb tries not to brood on the situation but despite himself he has bad dreams. They all do. The ghosts of many long-swung men pace the tier. One of the most notorious members of this ever-changing 'flock' is William Edward Hickman, more commonly known as The Fox. He has committed one of the more reprehensible crimes in recent California annals. It involved the kidnapping of Marian Parker, teenage daughter of a Los Angeles banker, and the subsequent demand for $1500 ransom. When the money was reluctantly paid, the girl was returned in a trunk - dead, her young body cruelly mutilated. The manhunt that followed was widespread and relentless. The .Fox was finally run to earth. The trial way swift. The jury's ybte ��� Was unanimous.. The judgement unsurprising. WOOD ^ HEATING frmf*niiiKk (ONE STOP SHOP) STKVI. CHRISTIAN AC.

The festival lived up to its reputation as having a "warm friendly ambience". Shown here is the group Party Fever. ���Donna Shugar photo Environmentalists meet The general public and representatives from three environmental oganizations attended a video presentation at the Sechelt Arts Centre on Friday. The program organized by Vince Bracewell included a showing of the Earthtrust video Stripmining the High Seas and a following discussion led by Teri Dawe of ORCA (Ocean Resource Conservation Alliance). The main topic of the discussion being the question of how to most effectively lobby the federal and provincial governments for action on ending the driftnet fishery. Dawe added that "as important as the driftnet issue was, not to forget the environmental concerns on our own doorstep. Carole Rubin of SCEPP (Sunshine Coast Environmental Protection Project) led the discussion after viewing the Western Canada Wilderness Committee's video on the Carr- manah Valley rainforest. Rubin said the fate of the spectacular valley is not yet resolved and that committee supporters were monitoring any logging or road building activity near the valley. Bracewell joined Rubin in encouraging those attending to "spread the word to friends and neighbours in a positive manner on this and other issues". An open welcome for one and all to attend this coming Saturday's (September 16) "Environmental Walk" in Vancouver was extended by Dawe. The walk starts at 12 noon from Kits Beach to Queen Elizabeth Park. Tomorrow evening in the Elphinstone gym the RCMP Bison band presents a concert of music to appeal to a wide variety of tastes. A bison head, or buffalo as most call it, was once part of the insignia of RCMP, and a symbol of the stirring early days in the west when 'mounted', actually meant horsemen. Now the band of nine musicians travels in a Twin Otter aircraft to get them around the country in a demanding schedule of several hundred concerts a year. The Bison members were all experienced professional musicians before joining the RCMP band, where they had to meet all personnel selection standards and to take regular recruit training. Their full time duties, however, are in the band. Many of them play several instruments; some do vocals and emceeing. Besides the brass and woodwinds, there are 'unmilitary' instruments such as guitars, synthesizers, a piano, marimba, accordion and even the mouth organ. Be prepared for some pleasant music and fun The Bison leader, Randy Demmon, was a music teacher in the Northwest Territories school system in 1972, when he auditioned for the band. Born in Kamioops, he played in school bands and by age 14, in rock and roll groups. He earned a degree in music at UBC specializing in oboe and English horn, and later turned to keyboard instruments. Singer Kerry-Anne Kutz grew up in Saskatoon, then moved to Montreal. She sings in many styles - pop, scat, oratio - and has performed with such international figures as Leontyne Price. Kerry-Anne was the first woman member (1984) of the RCMP band. Tickets for the concert are at the Gibsons RCMP office. Adults $4; children under 13 and seniors $2. Corporal Waite of the Gibsons detachment points out, "Proceeds of the ticket sales will be used here for some worthy cause that will benefit the whole community."

It was an eight team tourney with the teams split into two pools of four with each team playing each other once in a Round Robin format. In pool A, Larry's Slo-Pokes sunk the Ferry Workers 21 to 10, beat HEU 10 to 3, and defeated CPU II 8 to 6. In pool B the Teachers defeated the Langdale Wrecks, CPU, and the IWA team to win its pool. In the semi-finals, the Slo- Pokes had a tough time to get by the IWA team 10 to 7 in an action packed game. In the other semi-final game on Sunday evening, the Teachers slipped by the Pulp Workers 6 to 5 in a crucial game to advance to the finals on Monday. In the finals on Labour Day, the Teachers gave the Slo-Pokes a good lesson on how Slo-Pitch should be played. The Slo-Pokes opened up the scoring with runs by Jim Benger and Dale Boghean. The Teachers replied with runs by James Ferguson and Linda Doerkson to tie the game in the second inning at 2. In the third inning the Teachers held a class on safe Golf Club expansion update by Frank Nanson The information meeting on last Friday was well attended and I believe very informative. Many pertinent questions were asked and several suggestions put to the chairman of the expansion committee, Barrie Reeves, who did an excellent job bringing us up to date on the negotiations to date. Peggy Connor was at the mike for a large part of the evening explaining what is taking place at the regional board level. Apparently it is the 27 or so acres that we are hoping will come by purchase from M & B that is still in the negotiation stage. Remember M & B are now controlled by Noranda in the east and it is much more difficult to deal with that situation than it was when they were controlled from Vancouver. The mayor of Sechelt, Tom Meredith gave us a rundown on the plans for the Sechelt Golf Course.

' Y might have an effect on the expansion plans at our course. The feeling I picked up from his talk was that the Sechelt Course was more of a tourist promotion endeavour. The plan is to get a developer, possibly from overseas to come in and build the course which will be a full 7200 yards. It may be more of a Whistler type of endeavour and all that goes with that sort of thing, rather than a strictly local;use type of course. Tom ifelhjt would ido nothing but enhance the need and usefulness of 0115 expanded course. , .;, r,:, ��� It was all very interesting and gave us a better understanding of what is going on. We should hear some important news regarding M & B fairly soon. Peggy inferred that if all items -money, land, our agreement with the regional board as to public use of the facility, etc. are concluded in the next six months that she could see us ready to start work next spring. Sounds good, but much negotiation is still necessary. The short discussion on public use of the course seemed to infer that if we continued to operate as we do at the present time, that is all that would be required. Please remember all of the above is only what I gleaned from the meeting, not necessarily what is to be. Floor hockey haven? by Rose Nicholson Floor hockey teams in Gibsons are still looking for a home. Gwen Robertson and four young players from Gibsons Elementary put their case to the West Howe Sound Recreation Commission last week. Robertson outlined the frustrations the floor hockey leagues have experienced in trying to find a place to play. "I wanted to help these kids help themselves" she said. "I think it's a worthwhile effort. They put a lot of effort into it. "They got the kids out week after week. I would like to see a space for them, and I don't appreciate being pushed around. "Floor hockey is a good sport for this area because it can be played outside most of the year whereas most sports are seasonal." Members of the commission pointed out they do not have the power to authorize the use of any particular facility, but promised to give a letter of support and suggested that the group request the use of Elphinstone gym. "If we had had this support a year ago" Robertson said, "I'm sure we would have been given some space." hitting and produced the maximum five runs in an inning on hits by Janice Brown, Bill Sluis, John Pritchard, Ken Stokowsky and Linda Doerkson again to go ahead 7 to 2. With their last bats, the Slo- Pokes staged a bit of a comeback with runs by Debbie Boghean and Steve Hoops but with the bases full of runners the Teachers made a nice double play to erase any hope of the Slo-Pokes winning its first tournament. It was a well-earned victory for the Teachers who became the third different winner of the three major tournaments this summer. The loss was a bitter pill to swallow for the Slo- Pokes who were runners-up in all three tournaments this season. In the Consolation game the Pulp Workers II beat the Wood Workers for the third and fourth place respectively. Thus wraps up a most entertaining season of Slo-Pitch. On the Rocks by Harry Turner As the curling season gets closer, the names are starting to roll in for this year's play. Be sure to get your name in for this season so you, too, can join in on the fun. Leagues will shortly be forming up for men's, ladies and mixed play. This week, and in weeks to come, we would like to tell you a little bit about the curling slide. The slide was introduced to the game in the early 50's and now it is a fixed part of the game. It takes a bit of skill to perfect as it is one of the more exacting parts of the game. The best way to slitfe is to turn the toe out slightly so there is less strain on the knee. It is also important to get down behind the rock so that you can ljne up with the skip's broom. Infect balance without the help of yourhroom is best but is very hard ta achieve. Curling is a sport for everyone so get your name in to Ed Hill at 886-3925, Larry Peninzek at 886-9144 or club President Doreen Stewart at 886-7891. We at the club would especially like to invite any new members of our community to join the club and enjoy the game this winter. If you are not new to the community but would like to take part in the club's activities, we would love to have you participating too 'the more, the merrier'!

CORRECTION Last week I mixed up a mother and daughter situation! It was Maria Budd who was Junior Girls Champion and winner of one of the closest to the pin awards, not her mother Debbie Budd! Both Roy Scarr and I apologize for this error. The first annual "Grant Scotch Ball Tournament" finished with a sudden death play-off. The winners were Mary Horn and Jean Dean with Debbie Sneddon and Marion Reeves the runners-up. In the nine hole ladies group we had Margo Matthews winning and Lucette Venables taking second place in their annual "back to school" tournament. Our Sunshine Coast Ladies' inter-club teams came out the winners and therefore retained the trophies against both the Squamish (away) and Glen Eagles (at home) teams. In Senior Men's play Ed Laidlaw and his team of Lloyd Breedon, Jack Milburn, Harold - Little and Jack Breedon took the honours with a low net of 102.5. Dan Belle and his group replenished their supply of trees with the high low net.

The vessel's regular run is Port Hardy to Prince Rupert. ���Kent Sheridan photoi Roberts Greek Gardens can be particularly beautiful this time of year especially if you don't have to weed them. May.Widman has foreseen the need for admiration without weeding by arranging a trip to VanDusen Gardens on Wednesday/September 20. The bus will leave the Royal Bank in Sechelt at 9:20 am to catch the 10:30 am ferry, with return planned for the 5:30 pm sailing out of Horseshoe Bay. Arrangements have been made for lunch at the new Bridgepoint Market which is naturally an extra. Cost of the bus trip including admittance to the gardens is $15 per person. You may assure your reservation by phoning Support needed for Children's Hour by Jeanie Parker, 885-2163 Turnout for the children's story hour at the Roberts Creek Community Library this summer was poor but if enough interest is shown it will be continued. Parents are asked to drop a note in the suggestion box at the library if they wish to carry on the readings. Please indicate the day and time that would be preferred.

If you have a three or four year old to register, pick up a form at Seaview Market or phone Lorrie at 886-9656. I should correct a misconception from last week's column. The preschool does not own its own facility but will be renting the basement of Sheanne Ben- nie's home. That is on Crow Road which Dick 'Reeves informs me has been misspelled for years. It's named after a man called Joseph Crow whose name was just like the bird. You'll notice the sign on the highway has been changed at Dick's behest. Similarly, Stephen Road has no ��� s*. on the end and the emphasis is on the first syllable of Maskell. It takes somebody who knows the origin of the street names to set us straight. Thanks Dick.

NEW HALL RUMOURS Many of our members will have noticed references in the local press recently with regard to development of Block 7 (west of the Trail Bay Mall) by the District of Sechelt and, in some instances, the suggestion that this development could possibly include a senior's complex. Whether this senior's complex is proposed as belonging to Branch 69, as it must if we are to be involved, or whether it will belong to the community is yet in the formative stage. It is too early in any proposal or negotiations to comment sensibly on the matter. In the meantime, members are requested to remain calm while your committee members examine all aspects of the suggestions as they develop, which will then be presented in due course for discussion, questions and possibly action. POT LUCK BEANFEST You will note that your 'Special Events' section of your activity sheet lists a Pot Luck Supper on Saturday evening, September 16 iat 6 pm. ; It's my understanding tljtat 'Beanfest' has been added to $ie menu as an 'and/or'. The ladies will be contacted to bring food and the men will be charged $2 at the door for the privilege of sampling these ladies' favourite recipes. It's an excellent chance to socialize with your fellow members as well as to enjoy an evening out.

SHOP LOCALLY ^S^mTifff-^^^M^^^SlWff^^Wial^^B e w s by Ruth Forrester, 885-2418 Several days before school opening I decided to ��� go and have a look at the new Halfmoon Bay School in Welcome Woods. Despite the fact there were still a few days left, I found some of the teachers already hard at work preparing their own particular classrooms. The paint was hardly dry but pictures and other items were already up on the bright walls of these light and airy rooms. It was a pleasant surprise to see what a beautiful little school this has turned out to be. At the moment, the grounds are still unfinished and there is sand all around but by the end of this week it is possible there will be lawns laid out. Meanwhile, the parking lot is being used as the playground. Excitement filled the air on opening morning and there was a race to see who would be the first pupil to enter the building. The honour went to Lissa Amberg of Grade six. She will remember that morning for the rest of her life. Plans are being made for an official opening ceremony to take place later this year. While on the subject of schools, the Halfmoon Bay Child Care Centre is now open at the old Halfmoon Bay school and is accepting registration for children 18 months to school age. Hours are from 7:30 am to 6 pm. Drop-in attendance will commence September 15. The after school program is also running and it is at the new school. If anyone is willing to donate toys, equipment, old towels or paint shirts, please call 885-3654 or 885-3739. A HOME FOUND Susan McLeod of Redrooffs has been pleased to find a good home for the friendly golden lab who decided to adopt her. ARTS SESSIONS For those of you who are interested in getting together with fellow artists, or potential fellow artists, you can phone Olive Comyn at 885-2378 for information. Sessions will start on Monday, September 25 at Welcome Beach Hall on Red rooffs from 1:30 to 4 pm each Monday. FLEA MARKET I hope you are remembering to collect your treasures to donate to the Welcome Beach Flea Market on October 22. Anything you give will go to a good cause which is the fund for improvements to the building. BROWNIES AND GLIDES Registration for the Halfmoon Bay Brownies and Guides will take place on Tuesday, September 19 from 6 to 8 pm at St. Hilda's Church in Sechelt. Unfortunately there is a bit of a crisis in the Brownie situation. Unless someone is willing to come forward and lend a hand to Glenys there may not be a Halfmoon Bay Brownie pack. There must be many young mothers out there who could give some time to this great organization. No experience is necessary and there is a lot of pleasure and satisfaction to be gained. Give Glenys a call at 885-9868 or Monika at 885-9733 arid they will be glad to talk to you. SHOPPERS BUS Discussions are still underway regarding the Redrooffs shoppers bus situation. By some time this week a positive arrangement will hopefully be made which should suit all concerned. The changes will be announced as soon as they are established. ; CHILDCARE The Halfmoon Bay Childcare Centre opened its doors for the j first time on Tuesday, ; September 5. It is operating in the old Halfmoon Bay school until November, when they plan to move to the new school site. The out-of-school program is running out of the new school everyday. Spaces are available for children 18 months to Grade 7..; For more information call our office at 885-2266.

Garden Bay ratepayer and former North Vancouver mayor Tom Reid today filed a petition at the Supreme Court seeking to set aside the controversial district zoning by-law that would permit the condominium project to go ahead. Harrison said the association supports the action because the Farrington Cove development has such serious implications for Pender Harbour, but greatly regrets that court action should be necessary. The petition filed by Reid seeks to have the court quash wholly or in part two rezoning by-laws passed Jby the Regional District AugustylO of this year. Specifically the grounds are that the public hearing for the two by-laws was held in Sechelt instead of Pender Harbour; that the hearing was conducted in such a manner as to prevent the public from making representations; that the hearing was not held in such a manner that all persons affected by the porpos- ed by-law were afforded reasonable opportunity to be heard; that the written report of the hearing failed to contain a fair and accurate summary of the nature of the representations made; and in the alternative that the public hearing should have been adjourned to Pender Harbour as requested. The petition will be heard September 28 in New Westminster. "My hope is that this action will result in the people of Pender Harbour getting a better opportunity to decide the kind of community they want to live in," said Harrison. "But fighting city hall is expensive. Several residents have reached deep into their pockets to get this action going, and more will have to chip in if it's to be sue? cessful.'' Y fJ | Donations and pledges may be sent to the Harbour Defence Fund, in care of Joe Harrison;" RR 1, Garden Bay* B.C. VON ISO.

Gardening notes by Marguerite Welcome to all newcomers to the Sunshine Coast, especially gardners. Hope you're enjoying our Indian Summer weather, that we hope will continue. September usually means clean up time in the garden while enjoying the fruits of our labour, or storing for later use. It's actually the start of the gardening year. Meanwhile be aware of any frost warnings if you are ripening tomatoes on the vine. Cover them at night because of the dew. Somethimes mistakes we made in planting by wrong location, not enough sun or shade, or our soil is not correct etc. We can improve our knowledge by observation and study and by having a graphic plan of our area which suits you personally. Each garden is different. A garden journal can record" for reference and is most useful in planning. Generally speaking, in the fall, plants can be moved while; the ground is still warm and get established before winter. Plant; wallflowers, violas, pansies,- primulas, flowering bulbs and; peonies. Clean out greenhouse and: wash with some bleach in the) water. Divide summer per-; renials, feed chrysanthemums,? spray roses for mildew and col-- lect leaves if they have black spot carefully, not letting them drop to the ground. Dispose of them by burning or garbage as the spore reinfects. The sunflower contest for kids will be judged and" measured on Sunday, September 24 in Pioneer Park at 2 pm..}. Let us hope you have some real- '��� ly large ones. Member of ALLIED.. The Careful Movers LONG DISTANCE We can move you ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD LEN WRAY'S TRANSFER LTD.

IBS Coast News, September 11,1989 23. by Kirtlye Woodruff Scene at the Howe Sound Pulp and Paper mill in Port Mellon. (See story.) ���Vera Elliott photo In my experience with Howe Sound Pulp and Paper (HSPP), I find a parallel in the story of the five blind men, each who comes in contact with just one part of an elephant. "It's a flag," said one who touches the elephant's ear. The animal's huge, rough side is mistaken for a wall, his leg for a tree trunk, his tail for a rope. And the last blind man thinks he is holding a hose, but it's just the elephant's trunk. I decided to see what the industry presents when it opens its doors through a guided tour of this giant economic force and focus of continual controversy; this 'elephant' which has only to breathe to be noticed. Our tour guide turned out to be a surprise. Jennifer Ear- waker, a Sunshine Coast native and UBC science student, conducts the tours as part of her For Rent Gibsons 2 bdrm. F/P, 5 appls.

HSPP could not have a more pleasing ambassador than this young, blond woman. Our group of five boarded the tour van and were driven to a hillside opposite the road that has replaced the dusty gravel passage through the site. From this vantage point, the pulp- making process, which continues amid the extensive construction work, was described and related to the structures in view. Wood chips arrive by sea at the distant dock on large scows and are unloaded by crane or wheel loader with a bucket, the huge jaws of which we later see in action. Silos store the chips by species of wood corresponding to the different characteristics of pulp desired. My senses were filled with the loud hum of construction equipment, the sweet smell of pulp, the caustic scent of sulfur and with clouds of gray and white. Occasionally my eyes 'would smart. Our guide pointed out the tall, yellow tower vessel called the Kamyr digester. Here, and in smaller batch digesters, chips are continuously cooked with chemicals at high temperatures and pressure. This new digester will be the largest in the world and the first of its kind in BC. The 'fat' red vessel, tapered like a huge bottle, was identified as the blow tank. The sudden release of pressure into this tank causes the chips to explode into individual fibres and to turn into dark, brown pulp. As Earwaker competently recited the many facts related to the mill, her voice regularly trailed up as if to question that we could possibly follow all of the presentation. Claimed to be the first used in BC and only the third in Canada, the two tall, thin towers are the site of oxygen delignification, where natural wood glue is removed before the pulp is bleached. The largest structure, recently clad with siding and currently under full construction, was described as the chemical recovery/power boiler. At a height equivalent to a 30-storey building, it is the largest plant of its kind in the world. Here the stage is being set for upgrading the complex processes of chemical recovery, fuel recycling and the generation of energy to power the mill. Previous trips to the mill had exposed me, for the first time, to the earth-shaking, adrenalin- pumping sound of an explosive blast, which issues from the huge excavation by the road. This, our guide explained, is the future site of thermo-mechani- cal pulping, where newsprint will be made for export to Japan. Our guide drove us past the area where the new effluent treatment plant is in early stages of construction and onto the seashore. Here, 20 acres of land are slated to provide for more chip storage to meet customer needs. Our tour group was then directed into a meeting room where a drawing of the site and a diagram comparing old and new technology was displayed and which covered most of two walls. Earwaker presented some history of the mill, stating that in April of 1988, HSPP Ltd. was formed as a joint venture, of Canfor Corporation and Oji Paper Company - the largest paper producer in Japan. One billion dollars is budgeted for the expansion and the nearly complete replacement of the plant, with $88 million to be spent on environmental protection. Each environmental pollutant, resulting from the production process, was addressed in turn. Effluent will undergo a two- part treatment before its ultimate disposal into the ocean. The secondary treatment includes a pond with bacteria which consume dioxins left in waste water. Oxygen is bubbled in to keep the bacteria active and to replace that which is depleted from the habitat of sea life when rotting waste fibres oxidize. Control of chlorinated organics is to be accomplished by reducing the amount of chlorine used in bleaching the pulp. Several processes will be employed to remove as much lignen (natural wood glue) as possible before the pulp reaches the bleach plant, where a minimum of chlorine will be needed for treatment. In the bleaching process, a high substitution of chlorine dioxide will further reduce use of chlorine. ...to be continued Gibsons Library report Professional & 'Confidential Correspondence, Contracts, etc. Y Qtye piper Mm 883-9911 n| Child Care Sitter needed for before & after school for 8 year old girl.

Wright Secretary to the Board by Pamela Fekhtner The Gibsons Public Library over the summer and since the last board meeting in mid-June has managed to survive and give service to the community. This despite having to cope with 'various frustrations, such as local funding running out at the 'end of June and the regional district library referendum not being held. At the end of June the paid clerk position was eliminated. But as Often happens as one door closes another opens. Our Challenge 89 Student, a government funded position for July and August was approved and once again was a great asset. Jennifer Sinclair, a student with no previous library experience, quickly learned desk and shelving procedures. The community librarian found Jennifer's cheerful, willing and positive attitude a tremendous help in assisting her with completing such tasks as the adult non-fiction inventory, sorting the display materials and also Vandalism causing concern by Rose Nicholson i Vandalism in parks on the Sunshine Coast continues to be a major problem. Steve Alex ander, Regional District Parks Superintendent, described the recent extensive damage at the park at the mouth of Roberts Creek at last week's meeting of :he West Howe Sound Recrea- :ion Commission. "I'm getting fed up with fixing the damage" he said. "It seems to be a floating group" Area E Director Jim Gurney said. "They go to one place one night and then on to another the next night. I don't know how they know what's happening but they all seem to know where the party is." "I think we need more public I co-operation" Alexander added, "something like a neighbourhood watch." Alexander also brought to the attention of the commission the need to look at providing permanent public washrooms in regional parks. "You're going to need these facilities" he said, "if you're going to start to develop public parks." After lengthy discussion the commission agreed such a washroom would be erected at the newly developed Whispering Firs park. thoroughly cleaning the library. This included washing all the book shelves, storage room, stairway etc. Four more volunteers started working for us over the summer and their main task was to shelve books and shelf-read, that, i^ j��ut $ie books in order. They will begin their training on desk wofk very shortly. At the end of June we held our fifth Annual Teddy Bears Picnic. Almost 40 children attended and at least as many bears of assorted shapes and sizes. Nest Lewis read stories and our thanks go to Super Valu and Pam's Pantry for supplying the coffee, juice and cookies. The summer went very well with circulation and memberships continuing to increase. We managed to borrow from general funds to keep our Children's Librarian, Gail Reimer, our only paid person on staff and she was even able to take a well earned week of vacation. The frustrations we had to cope with arose from the ongoing extremely slow process in getting the steps to the referendum approved and the fact that although the regional district approved monies for July and August, it apparently legally could not follow through. However, with the latest news that the regional district is now prepared to go ahead and hold the library referendum on September 23, we look forward to and trust that the eligible voters in the community will be out in force to support and keep their community library open.

CAPILANO COLLEGE Secheit Regional Centre 5627 Inlet Avenue Sechelt British Columbia I Fears raised during question period at last week's Gibsons Council meeting in regards to the proposed industrial six (16) zoning of eight acres of the Hillside Industrial Park near Port Mellon for use by the four petroleum companies operating on the Coast, are unfounded Economic Development Officer Bill Moore told the Coast News. "The eight acres will be used for the containment of petroleum products," Moore said. "There will be fuel tank storage, outbuildings for greases and oils and possibly a small tank to hold propane gas." The Sunshine Coast Regional District Economic Development Committee Chairman Maurice Egan added: "The eight acres will be entirely limited to use by the four petroleum companies." At the suggestion that the province would use the 16 site as a dumping ground for hazardous wastes, Moore said, "In negotiations with the province, they have never asked or im plied that any area (at Hillside) be set aside for hazardous products. We are committed to making Hillside Industrial Park environmentally safe." . Moore added that in the construction of the facilities at the site, consideration will be given to the fact the Sunshine Coast is an earthquake area. "The storage tanks built here are built differently than they are on the Prairies, for example," he said. Moore and Egan attended Gibsons Council meeting on September 5 to present council with an update on the Hillside Industrial site which, Egan said, "takes only a couple of minutes to summarize but which took months to put together." In explaining the proposed layout of the 405 acre Hillside Industrial Park with 155 of those acres slated for environmental reserach, the type of industry they hope the park will attract and what the planned marketing techniques for the various sites will be, Moore stressed Hillside will be an "environmentally sound showcase", which will "demonstrate how industry and the environ ment can work together." He also stressed the importance of establishing a fuel dock on the Coast outside of the towns as well as a barge.yw.harf where hazardous i or ;inflamY mable goods can be trarispoirted without utilizing^ the^!ferry^ system. This will ?be insjtaUed/ within two years, lie saMVani^k will eliminate the fuel storage tanks in Sechelt, Gibsons arid Roberts Creek. Y "I think it (Hillside Industrial Park) has a very exciting poten tiai of creating 800 new jobs," Moore said.

Sunday, September 24, 1989 Time: 2:00 pm Place.Pender Harbour & District Health Centre -E_B By-Law battle in Sechelt by Penny Fuller Sechelt Council got tied in a knot around its procedures in passing by-laws last week, when by-law 30-2 was given first and second reading, received a sixth- sevenths approval to go to third reading, and then was defeated. Confusion arose when Alderman Doug Reid lost track of what exactly was being voted on, during the heated debate around the issue. By-law 30-2 amends the zoning category 1-3. Currently, anyone applying for a building pefmit in the 1-3 zone on Field Road or Porpoise Bay is required to do off-site work providing curbs and gutter, storm drains and a shoulder along the road to the existing asphalt. This by-law would eliminate that requirement for a building permit. "The' by:law was initially 'introduced to accommodate the planned expansion of APPA Seafoods on Field Road. That company is planning to expand its operation which would mean approximately 200 more jobs, Mayor Tom Meredith said. Because of the location of the property, the required off-site work would begin nowhere and end nowhere, unconnected to anything, he explained. Planner Rob Sabine told council it is not possible to change the 1-3 zoning for only the Field Road area so the amendment would affect the similarly zoned parcels in Porpoise Bay and any future 1-3 zoning. While Alderman Reid appeared to support the changes, he explained that until that meeting he had not been aware the amendments would have to apply to the Porpoise Bay area as well. He needed more time to consider the implications, he said. Aldermen Bob Wilson and Joyce Kolibas were adamantly opposed to the amendments in spite a reserve fund would be set aside out of the taxes received from these areas for off-site work when it is warranted. The by-law was given first and second reading with Wilson and Kolibas opposed. Meredith called for agreement to conduct third reading of the by-law and no one opposed the suggestion. Then some verbal sparring^ broke out between the mayor and Alderman Wilson. Alderman Reid asked for input from the administrator and the planner, but Meredith maintained they had already given all the information they had. He then called for third reading and Wilson, Kolibas and Reid opposed the motion. Wilson was temporarily jubilant, as it appeared the bylaw had been defeated, but Reid explained he had been voting on whether or not to hold third reading. "I don't think your side should win on a technicality," he said. "I don't think you'd want that." He told the mayor he was concerned that, "Before we finally adopt this document, these people (the planner and administrator) should give it a second going over.", Council finally agreed to rescind the defeated motion and table third reading of the by-law until the council meeting of',.

Long told the Coast News the main pipeline, as well as the necessary distribution system for the Coast would "employ a lot of residents and cut fuelling costs to many homes." It would also bring new industry to the area, he said. Construction on the pipeline, barring any injunctions brought against it by Lower Mainland mayors adamant that it not cross the Coquitlam watershed, should begin in October Long said. According to Long, the pipeline is "a real positive thing," but at last week's board meeting, the Sunshine Coast Regional District directors seemed less enthusiastic about the project, and District of Sechelt Mayor Tom Meredith told the Coast News approval of the pipeline was not unanimous on that council either. Although Sechelt supported the concept of the pipeline, he said, "We might have some prbblems with the route." Area A Director Gordon Wilson said he had "very serious concerns" about the pipeline's proposed route near the St. Mary's Hospital and through the residential area of Sechelt. "Has anyone asked where this is going," he said. "I have not seen any documentation of where this is going to go." Area E Director Jim Gurney suggests the regional board write to the company hired to lay the pipeline and request it come before the planning committee with maps and full documentation on the route. "This is the third time we asked them," Wilson said and called the whole scheme "a political boondoggle". Fish farm protection by Ellen Frith The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries' Agriculture Protection Act which includes aquaculture operations under its application will only serve to make fish farming an even more unpopular industry, Area E Director Jim Gurney said at last week's board meeting. "The province thinks it's helping the industry," he said, "but it's not." Essentially the act states that all activities on a farm (including fish farms) associated with production such as land cultivation, operation of machinery and equipment, application of pesticides, fertilizers and conditioners and the use of noise scare devices are allowable under provincial law. The act "again undermines the land regulation powers of the regional district" the board feels and voted to write to the Minisry of Municipal Affairs to object.
