.HI mm WM m Legislative Library j Parliament Buildings Victoria, B.C. V8V 1X4 89.8 The $410,000 round mound stone breakwater and Gibsons Government Wharf repair promised at election time by the Tory federal government's fisheries and oceans minister is to be replaced by a steel pile and steel sheet seawall. The town isn't going to get the new breakwater put on the :her north near mc iuwji uuuauary, a site which would have greatly increased the harbour's available marina area and tourist trade. Gibsons Mayor Diane Strom met Tuesday with federal works and fisheries department officials. She then announced the federal decision that night at a council meeting. The town harbour is going to get two other new amenities. The old crank-style crane hoist is to be replaced by one hydraulically operated. The shed at the end of the wharf is to be replaced by a more attractive new one with the wire cage removed. Emergency repairs will be done to the existing wooden pile and plank seawall, if required before construction of the new steel pile wall this summer, Mayor Strom said. Strom said the government wharf's appearance during the repairs is going to be made more attractive and more in keeping with the town. It won't be an eyesore any longer, she said. The wishes of the town, the Coast Guard and a film shown of the inadequacy of the old wharf during the recent severe winter gales were important in the federal decision on the new seawall, the mayor told council. The film was made by local man Mike Clement and edited by his mother. Council passed a vote of thanks to the Clements and ordered a letter of appreciation officially sent. The town has been informed the money for the project is appropriated. The job will go to tender very soon. The work is to be done this summer. Strom said the Coast Guard had reservations about the idea of building a rock mound seawall. It's north surface wouldn't be vertical like the old wall and wouldn't be safe moorage for vessels, the Coast Guard said. Jack Weisgerber, B.C.

This action came after talks with Jack Weisgerber, B.C. minister of native affairs, and local MLA Harold Long. Band Chief Tom Paul said the community centre proposal has been worked on since 1972 and they would like to get it built next year. Work can start once government approval is received, and will take nine months. Several provincial government departments are involved, as well as the federal government. That's why there were discussions during the visit of the Native affairs minister in order to try to get everything put together, said Chief Paul. Native Affairs Minister Weisgerber in a press conference after the talks made no firm provincial commitment to the project, except to say the province wants to support the band activities and that., the band has several economic initiatives which were discussed. He said the talks covered two major issues. One was the community centre of which it was up to the band to talk. The second was a forestry initiative for which the band is seeking some provincial help. The $4.6 million cost estimate for the Sechelt Band centre includes land now owned by the band on Highway 101 beside the present SIGD municipal offices. The land is appraised at $1.3 million. The band proposes to contribute the land, plus $250,000 in cash, plus a mortgage. The province is being asked to pay a third of the cost. A federal government contribution would be added. They hope to include ;a theatre which would serve the whole Sunshine Coast. They think the theatre could be considered as the home of the proposed Gibsons Theatre Project. "We know they (Gibsons) are trying their own project. But we think it's an opportunity for the theatre project to concentrate on production. It's the cost' of facilities that beats most such endeavors," said a band official. The proposed centre would have a two-storey central building with two wings. The SIGD municipal offices would occupy the top floor. The main floor would house commercial rental space. Chief Paul said tourism promotion is involved in the centre planning concept. It would be a major Sechelt facility with plenty of parking. "We're hoping to get a major financial insititution plus a restaurant. The theatre would ���������:��������������� ��� r - ������>������-,.��������� * .���-���������������.--���, .have orchestra pits, the whole bit," Paul said. The theme of the centre would be to create a blend of Native and non-Native culture. There would be teaching and production, plus sales space, for Native crafts. Paul said it's been a'dream of the band for a long time to provide advanced education for its members right here where they can still have their home life and attend courses. This is very desirable. The educational-cultural facilities would be open to all. "This isn't primarily a Native thing, but a Sechelt thing to be used by all the Sunshine Coast, this is a prime Coast location," the chief said. They've been talking to the federal government, cultural ministry, B.C. Heritage Fund and education ministry. "We eventually want to put a theatre in here. We know Gibsons is working on the same concept we are. We should have some kind of consultation with them," said Paul. "The intent was that it be open to all. We could afford it if it is shared with other user groups." The band wants to have post- secondary two-year education programs here instead of in Vancouver. It already has some courses being conducted by the B.C. Institute of Technology (BCIT). The educational section of the new centre is to be affiliated with BCIT, have accredited standing and valid diplomas. There was an overture to Capilano College about 10 years ago, but it wasn't taken up. The courses now running here, such as business management, aren't yet in fully equipped facilities. Other programs would be started, such as resource management, public administration and computer science, Paul said. Developers have long been interested in the site of the pro posed centre. Recent adoption of a land titles system opens the way for the band to get financing. The SIGD has been working for years on the centre plan, in conjunction with Dominion Construction Company, part of the Bentall Group, Vancouver. About $200,000 has been spent. Construction will be all with pre-cast components, put together like a jigsaw puzzle, Chief Paul said. Native Affairs Minister Weisgerber (S.C.-Peace River) said he is happy wih the way self-government is working at the Sechelt band. It is a model other bands may wish to consider, but he's not going around with a bag of self-government agreements under his arm, he said. He suggests Native bands consider the successes of moves in this direction and consider if they're ready. He's talking actively about it with at least one other band. Marsh society has Sechelt core vision by Penny Fuller The relationship between Sechelt Municipal District council and the Sechelt Marsh Pro tective Society have vastly improved in the last six months, according to Doug Roy of the Marsh Society. One of the results is that Roy, at last week's council meeting, presented the Marsh Society's vision for the downtown core of Sechelt for council members' consideration. World Prayer Day at Sechelt, Gibsons Two World Day of Prayer services are scheduled for Friday, March 3 here on the Sunshine Coast. The political upheaval in Burma of the past year was not imagined when Christian women of Burma wrote the 1989 World Day of Prayer service. It is three years since they began the task that will culminate on March 3 when people from 170 countries participate in the World Day of Prayer. In recognition of the current 'Burma tragedy', the theme is 'Teach Us to Pray* at the all- family all-denomination service at 7 pm at Holy Family Church (Roman Catholic) in Sechelt. In Gibsons all are welcome also at the 1:30 pm service at St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church. The theme, 'Lord, Teach Us to Pray', was chosen by the International Committee for the World Day of Prayer at its quadrennial meeting in May 1986. Alice Jean Finlay from Ontario, as president of the International Committee, met with the Burmese writers in November 1986 to discuss the need for an ecumenical worship service that reflected the concerns and spirituality of Burmese Christian women. , In Canada, the service is sponsored by Women's Inter- Church Council of Canada and arranged by local ecumenical groups in over 3000 communities. The offering is used by Women's Inter-Church Council of Canada to provide resources for the service, program materials for women's groups, and to support ecumenical projects in Canada and abroad. Everyone is invited to share in this 102 year tradition of recognizing our need for God's guidance as we struggle with the issues facing our world. The heart of the district is the old village, he pointed out. It will become, "a core area containing a concentration of residential, commercial, recreational, cultural, business, service and administrative uses. "Potentially, such a concentration can spawn an urban vitality both interesting and exciting - an attractive place where things go on and people like to be." In order for that to be accomplished, Roy said a clear vision of the future character of that area is needed. One of his suggestions for the area was to resurrect a concept proposed some years ago of a 'Sechelt Park and Trail system'. This would include main landscaped walkways in the downtown and residential 'feeder' areas designed to make walking a pleasant experience. The routes should take people through various natural environments such as the marsh or Trail Bay waterfront, he suggested. Council might consider pav ing the main routes in colours as Gibsons and Horseshoe Bay have done, he added. Regarding the marsh itself, Roy stated the society's position. "Lot 48 is not to be turned into a lagoon as depicted on the consultant's plan but is to be kept in as natural a condition as possible. We envision a meandering channel with small widenings in a couple of locations. Parallel pathways with observation points will provide access," he said. Please turn to page 8 2. Coast News, February 27,1989 Here in the Space Age our Earth is a global village. Because of that, our worst enemy is bigotry. It is the great threat to peace. One of the worst forms of bigotry on this planet is racism. If we are to have peace and happiness, racism must be wiped out. A special occasion when each of us can do something to help win the battle against racism is coming soon. The federal government ministry Multiculturalism and Citizenship Canada has named March 21 as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Racism is the false, stupid and destructive belief that one race or some races by nature are superior to others. Discrimination based on such a belief may also be termed racism. "Together we're better. Let's eliminate racial discrimination in Canada," says Multiculture Canada's promotional brochure for March 21. We echo those sentiments most emphatically. Don't let anyone blandish you into thinking we don't have any racism here on the Sunshine Coast. Unfortunately there is. Sometimes it is subtle and sometimes overt, just as the ministry describes the national situation. Racism, prejudice and discrimination are harmful to everyone in our society. But most Canadians want to do something about it. Here on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, most of us believe in respecting and understanding each other. Being part of this special day March 21 is one way of saying that every person in Canada deserves equal respect and recognition. Together, Canadians can build a better and fairer society for all. It's a myth that all Canadians have equal opportunities and equal treatment today. The laws often say they should. But when it comes to jobs, housing and services many Canadians experience prejudice and discrimination because of the colour of their skin. Don't sit back and say there's nothing you can do about racism, either. There's a lot you can do. Start by organizing or taking part in activities for March 21. Join thousands of others here and across the nation who care. You really can make a difference. Get your group ��� service club, school, church, synagogue or temple, business or professional association, and your neighbourhood friends ��� to plan activities for March 21. Call your town or district offices and ask if they're planning anything. The federal government Secretary of State office nearest you can help with ideas and promotional materials. Multiculturalism Canada has a brochure, posters, stickers and a list of resources. Remember! It was only a few decades ago that the horror, the Klu Klux Klan swept this country. It had thousands upon thousands of members and tentacles into the very nerve centres of our freedom. If the great high horror of the Klan hadn't absconded *~ with all the membership dues, who knows what would have happened. �� Be vigilant.

Smith Now Brian Mulroney has resettled himself into the office of the prime minister, complete with a mixed bag of new and not-so-new cabinet faces, life in Ottawa can once again resume some semblance of order. For starters, one of the government's first priorities will probably/hopefully be a resurrection of the important business of legislation left waiting on the order table as a result of the November 21 elec- .. tiori caUY One such 'unresolved' item will be watched especially closely by members of the small business community. Tabled last summer as Bill C-140. This bill was supposed to deal with the furor surrounding banks and their seemingly uncontrollable use of bank service charges to both consumers and small business owners. Nearly a year later, however, the issue has disappeared from the headlines and is apparently An Al view dangerously close to slipping through the maze of bureaucratic cracks created, in part, by last fall's federal election. And in the meantime, bank service charges are still an increasing fact of banking life for most Canadians. These fees for so-called services, while annoying to consumers, have become in recent years a serious financial burden to small firms. Many entrepreneurs tell horror stories that include hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of service charges to tKeif accounts.' ' *'. . The situation has become so serious, in "fact, that a recent survey conducted by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business found fees and service charges are second only to excessive collateral demands as the greatest concern to small business people when doing business with their banks. CFIB's president, John Bulloch, says last summer's process of negotiations with government and the banks was difficult enough but he adds, "the prospect of having to push the government back into line on this issue is sheer agony. "Obviously we were hoping that C-140 would be passed in the House of Commons before everything came to a halt," he said. "But now the prime minister has named a new minister in charge of financial institutions, Gilles Loiselle. We hope he will make good on the pledge of his predecessor. However, we are prepared, if necessary to do battle all over again. ' ' ���' If passed, Bill C-140 would offer small business customers: ��� Entitlement on opening an account to receive enhanced disclosure of charges applying and information on the institution's procedures for handling complaints. ��� An assurance banks will make available to the public, on request, a list of all charges for business services in their branches doing commercial business. ��� Ongoing disclosure of core-related business charges through a brochure available to the public. ��� 30-day pre-notification, through statements, of changes in account related charges. "Bill C-140 would-effectively bring the banking community into this century," says Bulloch. "But looking back at the process of negotiations, even on the most fundamental issues such as disclosure of fees, it was mind- boggling how pig-headed the bank representatives could be. , "Clearly this legislation is long overdue. The banks have been allowed to get away with highway robbery for far too long." Let's hope Mr. Loiselle agrees. * * * * Editor's Note: This column was prepared for this newspaper by Ann Smith on behalf of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Freedom today is a sometimes thing by Harold Blaine Canada today continues to be one of a handful of free countries surrounded in a world of barbaric, murderous, dictatorial, brutal, enslaved nations. This is something we should not too often forget as we bask in contentment, protected by the power of major democracies like the United States, France and Great Britain���despite our state of near defencelessness. We Canadians should be striving to the utmost to bring freedom and enlightenment to the rest of the world. At the same time we should be ready at any time to defend our democracy against both erosion from within and potentially overwhelming forces of world barbarism. The relatively new international organization Amnesty International (Al), at the same time, gives us a world barometer of freedom and one of the most effective means of Fighting for human rights in the world. Witness AI's monthly 'Bulletin' published nationally and reporting upon the international human rights scene. Al also publishes many books, reports and pamphlets on the same subject. Recently published by Al in the United Kingdom is a book Amnesty International Report 1988. This report reflects an Al survey of human rights around the world, a survey done as well as possible...given the organization's private resources and the restrictions on freedom of information which exist around the planet. Also in the Al October- November 'Bulletin' Canadian Section (English speaking), there appears a synopsis of the 278-page Al book. "The Al findings cover privately-conducted investigations in 135 countries, investigations which uncovered a general condition of gross violation of human rights in a great majority of the Earth's countries." By means of publicity and letter writing campaigns Al works for the freedom of every possible oppressed human being in the world, labeling each one 'A Prisoner of Conscience'. Al exerts efforts to prevent brutal and unjust treatment of people, ���i unjust treatment for their ideas * or origins. It campaigns against unfair political trials, torture and the death penalty. In its work, Al develops a revealing profile of the world out there beyond our national boundaries. Here is some of the Al description: "In at least half the countries of the world, people are locked away for speaking their minds, 'often after trials that are no ( more than a sham.' "In more that 60 countries, men, women and even children are tortured by government officials. In scores of countries, governments pursue their goals by kidnapping and murdering their own citizens. "While all member states of the United Nations formally accept the Declaration (the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), many of them reveal by their actions, that they consider the ideas and ideals it enshrines 'submissive'. "By region, countries holding prisoners of conscience during 1987, included in Africa: Chad, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Kenya; in the Americas: Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua and Peru; in Asia: China, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand; in Europe: Czechoslovakia, Greece, Turkey and the USSR; and in the Middle East and North Africa: Iran, Iraq, Israel and the Occupied Territories, and Morocco and the Western Sahara. "The scores of countries in which torture and ill-treatment were reported included Burundi, Kenya, Somalia and Zaire; Brazil, Chile, Haiti and Honduras; Burma, China, India and Sri Lanka; Poland, Spain, Turkey and Yugoslavia; and Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria. "Thousands of people fell victim to gross human rights violations by clandestine groups linked to government forces, with so-called 'death squads' particularly active in Latin America. "Extrajudicial executions by government forces were also widespread with hundreds reported in Iraq and Sudan. Among many other countries where such killings were reported were the Philippines, Namibia and Peru." To get down to the specifics of today's human rights conditions in a particular world area, let us refer to what Al has to say about an area currently often in the news, the Middle East and North Africa. Of this area the Al 'Bulletin' says: "Thousands of political prisoners, including prisoners of conscience, were imprisoned without trial or after summary or unfair trails, often under exceptional or emergency legislation. "Several thousand suspected government opponents in Egypt, including many possible prisoners of conscience, were detained for weeks or months without charge under state of emergency legislation. In Iran, Iraq and Syria thousands of political prisoners, including prisoners of conscience, continued to be arrested and detained without trial. Many known and possible prisoners of conscience remained in prison throughout 1987, in Morocco and Western Sahara. Other such prisoners were held in Algeria, Bahrain, Israel and the Occupied Territories, Jordon, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.

(Chimney- Fires Must be Stopped Coast .News editorial, February 20.) But your simplistic and ill- informed opinions have offend- •ed members of my department 'and I'm sure other departments ^as well. • Although I will readily concede that our fire prevention efforts are secondary to fire suppression and training activities, jthere are good reasons for this. I don't recall ever seeing you visit our department to become •better informed as to how we rspend the limited time we can wring out of a group of volunteers, all of whom have lots of other things they could be doing. I spend on the average, 15 to 20 hours per week in fire department related work. Some of us spend more time, others less. We all sacrifice a lot of our leisure time and many of us, substantial employment income, to do a job we think is worthwhile. We use this time in the most productive way we can. Frankly, from my experience, fire prevention programs are, for the most part, a waste of that valuable time. The people who pay attention to * a fire department sponsored public awareness program are usually the ones who are already safety conscious in all respects of their day to day lives. They already care about fire prevention. So we end up preaching to the converted, while the vast majority of folks carry blissfully on, secure in the knowledge that fire tragedies happen to other people, not to them. Experience has taught fire departments that our greatest allies in the crusade for fire prevention in the home are children.

Collins : Editor: ' It is with amazement that I 'i read Jim McDowell's 'news' ar- ■ tide • in last week's Press ; headlined 'New Alderman May Face Two Probes'. I immediately contacted the RCMP, Tom Nishimura of Manpower, Tony Dawkins of the BCLA (B.C. Locksmiths Association), and , Lorne Newson of the attorney general's office. The RCMP said they are not aware of any investigation. Tom Nishimura said the only matter he was referring to Vancouver was that McDowell was questioning my status. Tony Dawkins said he has not forwarded any complaints ^ about me to the attorney general's department. Lome Newson said 'not true' when I read him McDowell's article. I then contacted Al Price, editor of the Press. He stated to me the opinion that it was legal for McDowell to write what he did as a news story. I am not collecting UIC. But if I were unemployed, I would be eligible. I am not having any battle with them. I voluntarily turned in my locksmith and alarms licence several years ago. I am not in that business, even though I help out friends from time to time. I do have numerous certificates of competency in various aspects of locksmithing (including safe and vault work) from the B.C. Locksmiths Association of which I" was a member when in business. I did not send D'Arcy Burk a bill. We are having a civil dispute over rent. I have pointed out to him the value of the favours I have done for him free of charge. I can appreciate how one dispute with one party can result in a host of accusations. But I seriously question how Mr. McDowell got into the fray. I want to know why he wrote the story and why his editor allowed it to be printed. I have sent copies of this letter to both the Press and the Coast News to ensure publication. Alderman Ken Collins grade students make several visits to our fire hall over the years for some basic fire safety training and attitude development. We know that a lot of these kids will go home and tell Mom and Dad that they should have a fire escape plan, and get the smoke detector checked regularly, etc. We also accept the fact that most of their parents will do absolutely nothing about it. But a few of them just might take the time to listen to their child and read the stuff we sent home with them. They may even decide the life of their child is worth a bit of extra effort and expense directed toward fire safety. So we keep on preaching to those kids whenever we get the chance. Chimney fires are not caused by mechanical malfunctions, bad luck, or any other such sim ple or convenient gremlins. Virtually all fires, including chimney fires, are caused by human attitudes. Unfortunately, Mr. Editor, there are seldom simple answers to problems created by human nature. All of us take many calculated risks, and quite readily compromise our safety and that of others from time to time. Sometimes we gamble too much and push the odds too far, resulting in tragedy. Most of the time we are lucky. You can sit there at your typewriter and blithely put the blame on fire departments, politicians, building inspectors, or anywhere you want. But when it comes right down to it, if those who have the most to lose don't really give a damn, then what is the point? C.J.

In order to prove to government officials that the plan to reduce polluting effluent is working, the mill needed some concrete data to which it could compare future tests. Consequently, HSPP and the mill at Woodfibre jointly hired Hatfield Consultants of Vancouver to do baseline testing on Howe Sound. "We needed to determine the extent of the influence of our effluent stream" HSPP technical superintendent Ron Wilson told the Coast News. The cost of the study will come in at well over $100,000 to each company. The field team completed its testing early in February. For over a week they collected sediment and organisms from a large number of locations throughout Howe Sound, from the mouth in a longitudinal grid to Squamish. Dr. Wayne Dwernychuk of Hatfield Consultants told the. Coast News in an interview last week that it will be at least two months before the analysis of the data is completed. He explained the field workers had not collected all the samples they wanted for an accurate analysis. The number of tests that they are actually able to run will be determined by the number of samples they are able to work with. Another factor delaying the results is the recent cold snap, Which caused power fluctuations in the labratory. "These tests are very delicate," Dwernychuk explained. "They're dealing in parts per trillion. The slightest fluctuation can cause variations in the results." Once the results of the testing are in, the companies will have a clearer idea in quantitative terms of what they're dealing with. Then it's up to them, in consultation with the environmental protection agency, to decide what course of action to take.

The evening's auction went on/ much longer than the designated hour. This was due tq' ; the generosity of the businesses in Gibsons and Sechelt which donated the items ... tb be sold. The auction was a great success. | [Perry added just the right amount of humour, to the occasion. So did some of the donated items���the women's .lingerie, for example. /: .The donated gifts were each Ywrapped in plain paper ���packages and were bought for j'an average of around $30 each ; after a lot of encouragement by 1 Perry. j Sometimes it was a bargain for the buyer and sometimes it wasn't.!Bogus gifts were wrap ped up, along with the bona fide ones. One man paid $27 for a dozen oranges. Another got a print worth $100 for the same price. It was bidder beware. The mayors of Gibsons and Sechelt each donated a half day of time to be auctioned off. Mayor Meredith was the first to bid for Mayor Strom. But Haig Maxwell of Dockside Pharmacy in Gibsons stepped in and raised the bid to $100 right away. Mayor Strom will, consequently, be spending a half day working in Maxwell's store. Maxwell says he will be having Mayor Strom signing autographs or something to use up her time. Harry Smith of Gibsons bought Mayor Meredith for the bargain price of $20. The Sechelt chief magistrate doesn't think Smith will demand his half day though. "I told Harry I started the day at 4:30 am," Mayor Meredith said. "That put him off." New Wilson Creek library is cheerful by Ellen Frith The new library in the Wilson Qeek Community Association Hall was described by Helen Guylits in her report to the Sechelt Public Library Association's annual general ��� meeting February 21 as being light and cheerful. It is also furnished with all- new shelving, is much better laid out than the old area, and all the Davis Bay/Wilson Creek volunteer staff and readers are very pleased with the new arrangements. Another even more important change in the last year, Cuylits said, is the change in management which took place in January. Margaret Phillips, who had been a volunteer at the reading centre for several years, agreed to become chairman of the board for the Wilson Creek Community Reading Centre. She is now also in charge of the organization and care of the library. "She has taken our affairs firmly in hand," Cuylits said. The membership to the reading centre which, for a yearly fee also includes membership in the Wilson Creek Community Association, remained steady through 1988. So did the number of books circulated. The monthly story hour for pre-schoolers remains a popular event at the reading centre. Cuylits said, "We consider this to be an excellent way to introduce children to books." Roberts Creek by Jeanie Parker, 885-2163 The Roberts Creek Hall Committee would like to thank Seaview Market and everybody who came to the Valentine's Dance. A big thanks goes to Ernie Fossett and the Roberts Creek Legion for the much- needed donation of $1000 to help cover ithe expenses of maintaining the Community Hall. The community association's lack of funds is an ongoing problem, however. More help is needed to keep it in operation. ; The association's elections are only a couple of weeks away. New people must be found to serve on the executive. Please note Dorothy Boragno is serving as hall manager until further notice. Phone her at 885-5033 for hall rentals or inquiries. ST. PAT'S TIX The Roberts Creek Legion is celebrating St. Patrick's Day early on March 11, so it's time to get your tickets. They're $12.50 at the legion, Seaview Market, or Gussy's Deli in Sunnycrest Mall. They include dinner, performances by a jig-dancer, and a good selection of Scottish, Irish and Maritimes music for dancing and singing. This weekend 'White Gold' will be providing M.O.R. music with good rhythm and sound. It's a husband and wife team and I'm told the fairer half looks and sings like an angel. A reminder that the legion has a new phone number. Call 886-9984 for the club. The old 886-9813 number is now the office downstairs. LOCAL COLOUR Roberts Creek was featured on the airwaves recently. Patrick Monroe's afternoon show on CBC Radio featured a live interview with teacher Barry Krangle about the dogs in 'the Creek'. The local canine expert says he took a humourous approach to the subject.

Rd.. Gibsons Landing 886-8077 The Kinsmen Club of Gibsons and District 40th Anniversary Founder's Night Dinner held in Sechelt's Royal Canadian Legion on February 18 was a rollicking success. After all the hard work of the Kinsmen Mother's .March which collected over $7000 this year between January 15 and 31, not counting the business appeals, it was time to relax for an evening. The Kinsmen service club, which is exclusively for men ages 21 to 45, relaxed with style. The gala event drew 100 people to the Legion Hall, including 15 Kinsmen from .other clubs around the Lower Mainland, along with the mayors of both Sechelt and Gibsons. Although invitations went out to as many original charter members as could be traced, only one, Harry Smith of Gibsons, was able to attend. On the agenda were cocktails, dinner catered by the Sechelt Legion Ladies Auxiliary, awards, an auction and then dancing until the early hours of the next day to tunes provided by Night Hawks Music Services. There were short speeches (none of them boring) from a number of Kinsmen executives, several reports on the club's activities, various toasts to Queen and country, and, on a much less serious note, a lot of kidding around. Sergeants of Arms Sean Bourrie and Tim Andersen, for example, collected 'fines' from a number of individuals for infractions to rules made up as they went along. Many of the Kinsmen executives were in for a lot of ribbing, especially Kinsmen governor Jim Dunlop from Vancouver. Dunlop is not a very tall man and must have inspired at least a dozen 'short' jokes during the evening. But, all kidding aside, Mayor Diane Strom of Gibsons saluted the Kinsmen for being a quality club respected in our community. Mayor Tom Meredith of Sechelt thanked them for 40 years of terrific contribution in the area. The Kinsmen are organizing * fund raising for a cystic fibrosis program. In June they plan a 'radiothon' on the satellite ridio network. 1 Last year, among other things, they were instrumental in providing the Gibsons fire department with the 'Jaws of Life'. \ The membership in the Kinsmen Club, after a decade of decline, is once again stabilized! Since the Kinsmen National Convention in August of last; year, women, for the first time in Kinsmen history, have their own organization. In the distant past, the Kinette Club was for wives of Kinsmen only. Later it was for those women connected to Kinsmen, although not necessarily through matrimony. Now there need not be any connection at all. Consequently the open membership for women is going up. There are 79 women in the Kinettes in the Lower Mainland and 180 Kinsmen. From the strength of a club that is now 40 years old, the Kinsmen of Gibsons and District on February 18, 'saluted the future!' 1 George in Gibsons Financial revelations 1 /^ ��" I / V EVERYTHING Mar. 1-12 ��� POTTERY .

The intent of the amending bylaw is as follows: 1. That certain parcel or parcels of land in the Town of Gibsons more particularly known and legally described as the southerly one hundred and ten meters of the east half of Lot 6, Blocks 4 - 6, D.L. 689, Plan 3678 be rezoned from the existing Residential 3 (R.3) to the proposed Automobile Commercial Zone 3 (C.3). 2. This bylaw may be cited as Town of Gibsons Zoning Amendment Byfaw No. 555-20, -1989. A copy of the amending bylaw is available for inspection at the Gibsons Municipal Office, 474 South Fletcher Road, during office hours. y. Rob Buchan Municipal Planner & Approving Officer by George Cooper, 886-8520 The Financial Disclosure Act (1985) requires public bodies" that receive provincial grants or have their borrowings guaranteed by the provincial government to report all expenditures of each financial year. A member of the public must be provided a copy, for a fee, when he or she requests. Municipal governments, our lospital, and our school board, for example, come under this act. ������'��� Other bodies like"1 the Ferry Corporation and the B.C. Lottery Corporation must"''. also make these annual statenients^ These statements give the tax*- jpayer, if he wishes to know, a ���$view7 of his local government'i %*penditiires,; or - hisy hospital's| or his school board's. Y I The- annual public;..bgdies report of our school board for their year, September 1987 to July 1988, in summary shows a total expenditure, given here in round numbers, of $7 million to suppliers, and $10 million in salaries. Total enrolment of students for that year was 2725 in September and a little less in June, 1988. Those in the system who get higher pay than teachers or maintenance workers, are the administrators. The largest group in this category, school principals, ranged in annual salary from $46,000 to $58,000. Teachers, whose salaries depend upon their post-secondary training and their teaching experience, are not a high-paid group when compared to say, policemen. Should certain royal commission recommendations become law, further demands on teachers' training will be made: i.e., at least five years of teacher education to include a degree, and much longer prac- ticums. Add. to that a requirement for teacher certificate renewal (shades of the late 1940's and '50's). In the 1987-88 year secretary- treasurer services cost around $82,000, somewhat more than, usual since a new official was hired and paid before the other had retired. In the same year district superintendents cost the board around $106,000. When the ^contract of one superintendent jdidj,not run full term, a sub stitute was brought out of retirement to fill in. y This second gentleman appears on the payroll ?as ;>Mdlanart Consultants for the purpose, it is suspected, of drawing both pension and full salary at the same time. A cost that deserves questioning arises from the practice in this province of. having two chief administrative officers of equal authority in any one school district. This is something left over from the fairly recent struggle for local control in education. There are also several expensive extra administrative offices still being filled, leftovers from the regime of the former super- -: intenden|. WILDLIFE CLUB The Gibsons Wildlife Club has recognized the long and devoted service of members George Ruggles, Pat Mulligan, Andy Anderson and John Hind-Smith, by awarding them life memberships in the club. Honourary memberships have been presented to Rob Brootherton of Ace Heating Service, and to Sandy Gibb for generous assistance in club maintenance and development. An honourary membership was also given to Marybell Holland, widow of Fred who was a longtime member of the club. The Wildlife Club extends a very grateful vote of thanks to merchants Gibsons Building Supplies, B&D Sports, Showpiece Gallery, Peninsula Industrial Logging Supplies, Sunshine Coast Supplies, Ken- Mac Parts, Shell Oil, Coast Bookstore, Mary's Variety, Hyak Marine, Gibsons Marina and to artist Ed Hill, for their donations to the Wildlife Federation's fund raising auction this spring. Guest at the club's meeting of February 22 was Jack Trew who has been active in wildlife clubs and the federation for 30 years. Jack recollected the work of. for-mer Gibsons resident, Megan Moorcroft, the first woman director of the Provincial Wildlife Federation. Y, "A staunch supporter':... -;<, wildlife conservation, $M$g��n did much toTocus public atteh- tion on parks in the province." ��� There are very strong suspicions that there is a poaching trade in eagle wing feathers, beaks and talons. The club suggests that licence numbers and other descriptions be taken and given to the police when any poaching activity is suspected. Changes that may allow exclusive rights in angling on any of our rivers are a grave concern to all who enjoy the outdoors. "Rivers must remain open to all. Let your concerns be known in no uncertain terms now while changes are being contemplated," Jack told the members. The Wildlife Federation needs a more effective lobby to protect public rights from the1 pressures of other interests,' many members felt. Complaints were voiced of the lack of communication between the federation and the local clubs in the province. ��� . ,. * Gibsons Landing Customers- .^* LOVE ���:���";}'' our CARDS ^ ��� .*��� 886-2818 m a Vm>.--4t\ "IBS*"! -5iV'_>_*'*r?_!

John Johnson, president of the Sandy Hook Property Owners' Association, presented the meeting with a proposal for a spring clean-up week; in Sechelt. He praised the municipality's initiatives in beautifying Rockwood Lodge, Snicket Park and Hackett Park. He suggested .<$ illi renta-wreck the community now needs to put some effort into the job. "It would be an additional plus to impress visitors and tourists, and in some way hold ourselves above the ordinary community," he said. "At least it seems we could expect residents and shopkeepers to be responsible for their individual areas including sidewalks and landscaping; but some encouragement and momentum towards this end could spark the necessary response." CHECK OUR LOW RATES 886-9717 Alderman Bob Wilson said the city of Cranbrook has an annual spring clean-up in May when the municipality arranges for a special garbage pick-up at no cost to the residents, for everything from old freezers to leaves and branches, properly placed for easy pick-up. He asked Johnson if this was the kind of endeavour he had in mind. "That's exactly the sort of thing-we had in mind," responded Johnson. Dealing further with the subject of environmental ap pearance, Johnson brought up re-cycling, pointing to the recent publicity surrounding the problem of increasing volumes of solid waste in British Columbia. "Our association would like to request council to approach this subject to try and determine some method of partially or fully establishing a system to indicate, and maybe lead other communities in a resolution to do somethinglabout it. "We are aware of the recent unsuccessful approach to this dilemma made by our regional district. There were various reasons, two of which were probably costs and public apathy. No doubt they could supply helpful information if an attempt is made by the district to attack the problem." Another aspect of eliminating the waste disposal problem would involve the co-operation of the public and business community, Johnson said. The elimination of pollution by rejecting the plastic and non- recyclable items that are used is also important. j The association, through J Johnson, suggested a comrnitteei be struck to assess the com-S munity's situation and recom-$ mend a course of action. Y| "We can't keep sluffing offj in this forever and expect future^ generations to overcome a corn-|| pounded dilemma. The longer^, we wait; the greater the costs.'*J he told council. j| Council will consider the pro-f* posal. The Practical Alternative Gas distribution Distribution of the gas from the new pipeline will be handled by Vigas, a subsidiary of Inter-city gas, Sechelt Mayor Tom Meredith told council last week. The decision was made by the province. "I think, from our point of view, this is the practical way to go," Meredith said. "We wouldn't get a distributor to come in here and just distribute gas to Sechelt if there was somebody else doing Gibsons and somebody else doing Powell River. This is the practical way." .1 LETS GO SHOPPING AT THRIFTY'S Tues-Sat 10-4 86-2488 or Box 598, GIBSONS ABOVE KEN'S LUCKY DOLLAR Ken's Lucky Dollar Foods 886-2257 GOWER POINT ROAD, GIBSONS LANDING FREE DELIVERY TO THE WHARF We reserve the right to limit quantities We fully guarantee everything wa sail to ba fully satisfactory or money fuKy refunded We SERVE IP SAVINGS Prices effective: Feb. 28 - Mar. 5 Your LOTTERY Centre m can ess .79 [grocery] Campbell's ��� Chicken Noodle ... . ... 284 ml -S3H Heinz - With Pork in Tomato Sauce & Molasses/in Tomato Sauce beans 398mi .74 Squirrel - Smooth/Crunchy Peanut Q butter .........:..5oo gm 1.Do Kle&nex ^ ��� facial tissues 200. 1.05 Christie's-Chips Ahoy/Oreo cookies 450 gm 2.69 Sunlight -Powdered Minute Maid - Frozen From Concentrate fruit punch ...355ml Swanson - Chicken/Turkey /Beef meat pies....,,.-,*.-.^im?.. - ���.���^ nMcCains -Beefeater/r, , .. ../,',^ ^ Julienne Style French fries 2 kg A-1 _*i_. -y 1.65 3.19 Parkay - Soft margarine 136 kg Tub Kraft.-16's& 24's singles ........ .500 3m 3.39 Kraft - Cheese Sticks mozzarella 2273m 2.19 Fresh shortribs Fresh - Medium Ib. 1.99 ground beef /_ 1.69 Fresh - Pork Side spareribs/. 1.99 Wetchers mmW ��nrrvrr�� i Specials - Select Side Fletcher's bacon 500 am 2.29 dinner ham %'s....ib.. 2.9?

In October, AI's report, 'Syria: Torture by the Security Forces', focused on allegations of torture of Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian detainees between 1984 and 1987. "Reports of the routine use of torture in Iran was also wide ly reported and an Al publication in May, 'Iran: Violations of Human Rights'/called for urgent investigation of such reports. "In December, the organization, submitted a memorandum on torture of detainees to the government of Jordan. Deaths in custody after torture were alleged in Algeria and Morocco. There was also a marked increase in the number of reported cases of torture and ill- treatment of detainees in Israel and the Occupied Territories. "Other countries in which torture or ill-treatment were reported included Bahrain, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. "During'the year, countries in which unfair trials were reported included Algeria, Bahrain, Iran, Israel and the Occupied Territories, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. Detentions without trial were reported in many countries, including Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Syria and the Yemen Arab Republic. "Disappearances were reported in Iraq and Lebanon as Sechelt Scenario Reading blitz is over a result of actions by Syrian forces and armed militias. "States of emergency continued in Egypt, Jordan and Syria, and people were held in administrative detention in Israel and the Occupied Territories. "Judicial executions were carried out in more than 10 states in the region, including Iran, Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Yemen Arab Republic. In at least three countries large-sclae extrajudicial executions were carried out by government or government backed forces. Hundreds of executions were reported in Iraq, most of them extrajudicial." That's all we have space to include here this week on this all- important matter of freedom in our world. Next column we hope to look at some of AI's specific findings in a particular country and in at least one individual case. That way we hopefully may achieve a usefully complete understanding of the real human condition on this planet here today in the year 1989. by Margaret Watt, 885-3364 The reading blitz is over at West Sechelt Elementary School, but its effects on the students will, I'm sure, last a lifetime. There was 100 per cent participation from the students and some of them even got so carried away they started on novels. As a reward, and a surprise for the kids, some of the parents got together and built a huge cake replica o�� the school. Every detail was faithfully represented, down to a toy school bus parked outside. At an assembly on February 24 the cake was cut and every student received a slice. GARDEN CLUB The next meeting of the Sechelt garden club will be held on Wednesday, March 15 at 7:30 pm in St. Hilda's Church Library closure It looks like the Gibsons Public Library is going to have to close for at least four months starting in April. Another 'snafu', this one at municipal affairs in Victoria, has delayed an area plebiscite and prevented the Coast Region from providing rescue funds until August. This time it's reported the Coast's request for Letters Patent for the plebiscite sat in an 'in basket' in Victoria from November to February while a civil servant took an extended holiday. Money advanced to the library by Gibsons Town runs out in April. The region board was told by staff last week funds can't be made available now before August. Sechelt core vision Continued from page 1 "Fresh water flowing through Lot 48 will be taken from the concrete drain at the southeast extremity of the lot and re-enter the pipe at the northeast corner of the lot." Roy added that he had made his presentation to public works supervisor, Doug Fraser, and consultant Derek Ashford. Both agreed with the concept and assured him that a lagoon wdutd hot be placed in lot 48," he said. Other specific suggestions for developing the marsh included the possibility of having murals painted on the walls of the public works building which faces the marsh. The society also had some recommendations on the type and size of backhoe to be used in that area to avoid unnecessary damage to the natural environment. Representatives from the society will be meeting with" the" parks and recreation committee to discuss specific plans for the marsh. ^.s* Church Services THE UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA Sunday Worship Services CIBSONS Glassford Road 11:15am Sunday School 11:15am ST.

The kitchen is in use and brunch is served from 1:30 to 3 pm. To add to the tasty brunch there is 'Jitney Darts'. When the darts started, only one or two boards were used, now all the boards are being used. Anyone may participate in the dart game. Just put your name in the hat.. When your name is drawn, you're in for a game. This rule also applies to 'Jitney Pool'. This method of playing, especially the darts, has been a huge success. There are other games too, like cribbage. Just like in an old English pub. The Legion is also planning more activities for 1989 for our growing community on the Sunshine Coast. In the works are: horseshoes, open air barbecues, car rallies, golf tournaments, fish derbies and dart tournaments for the whole peninsula held at the hall. Bingo will continue as usual on Wednesday nights. Hearty congratulations to the new and progressive executive.

During the last 10 years some fishermen paid the ultimate price. They paid with their lives. But things are looking up. Why? Because last year, more fishermen were careful to observe the fundamentals of good seamanship. Like heeding weather forecasts, avoiding top heavy situations, not overloading, sailing with another vessel and having adequate safety equipment on board This year \eVs all make it home. Let's leave room on board for safety. Canad'a 1*1 Canadian Garde cdtiere Coast Guard canadienne Don't let a good haul be your last reward Coast News, February 27,1989 has ortunities by EJlen Frith With their children's best interest at heart, the Sunshine Coast Parents for French (SCPF) presented the school board with a brief entitled, 'Long Range Planning for French Education', at the board's meeting February 14. In it -the SCPF state: "We believe that education in Canada's two official languages is of tremendous benefit to all of us. "This learning opportunity develops both the mind and the spirit and sensitizes us to the issues of the global community. The ability to speak and feel in more than one language and in more than one culture promotes tolerance and understanding among us." The brief also says any child who is bilingual will have educational and employment opportunities with a broad range of possibilities in the future. French education has been a recognized part of general education for a long time. But French Immersion has been offered in B.C. only during the last 20 years. The school board's three-year plan for French Immersion is now coming to an end. The board will be expanding its policies as the program expands. . The SCPF communicated with other school districts and accessed information from the British Columbia Parents for French in preparing their brief. In it they present the nine points they feel would be most important in establishing a long range planning strategy for French. These points, very briefly, are: 1. adequately inform parents of the pros and cons of French Immersion for their children; 2. identify the high schools carrying French Immersion into post-elementary years; 3. develop a system of teacher evaluation that takes into account the issue of language; 4. staff a dual-track school with as many French speaking support staff as possible; 5. appoint a French co-ordinator; 6. support the existing teacher population in improving their own French skills; 7. establish the percentage of English to be offered in French Immersion programs; 8. discuss any alterations to the program with affected parties; 9. include parental input to any French co-ordinator and/or French committees. The SCPF strongly feel parental involvement in any French Immersion program would make a significant contribution. This, they stated to the school board, "is the most important recommendation that can be made to you at this time of French program policy making." We have just updated all our inventory. Automotive (foreign & North American) Industrial, Marine and RV Supplies! Sechelt Seniors by Larry Grafton I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those kind seniors and friends whose calls and expressions of sympathy, expressed the great regard in which she was recognized in the community. Mildred Grafton passed away quietly on February 18. Prior to her extended illness, she was a staunch supporter of our branch and our new proposed activity centre. She was my best friend and advisor, God bless her, and will be sadly missed by her friends, fellow members, and her family. Special thanks are in order to the kind ladies who arranged the tea in our hall Saturday in her honour. Her philosophy in life was simple and effective. Here it is: "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people.. and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better place than we found it, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded." WINE AND CHEESE Tom Bitting, our ways, means and entertainment chairman, has arranged a wine and cheese gathering for singles only on the evening of March 3 at 7 pm in our hall. I'm sure Tom will have some surprises for you. PROVINCIAL REPORTS At our general meeting February 16 John Miller���who is chairman of our Sunshine Coast Regional Council, which constitutes three senior's branches, and as such, is a board member of our provincial board���gave a report on the things the provincial is looking into and doing for the various branches province-wide. This was followed by a report. on the Council of Senior Citizens Organization and the many things that they are doing, and attempting to do, for the seniors of B.C. These are dedicated people who constitute an umbrella group for seniors Members who are not attending our regular meetings on the third Thursday of each month should be aware you are missing a great deal of interesting and informative discussion. This is not only with regard to what is happening provincially for seniors, but what, you the members, should know about what our seniors are not only trying to do for the District of Sechelt, but what we have accomplished to date and what we will accomplish in the near future. Our activity centre is our priority. All members, and I mean all members, should be supporting this very worthwhile endeavour on the part of our branch. Mark March 16 on your calendar.

Coast News, February 27,1989 by Ellen Frith Sechelt librarian Pat Barnett summed up 1988 for the Sechelt Public Library in two words, busy and re-organized. Addressing the Sechelt Public Library Association at its annual general meeting, February 21, librarian Barnett reported some interesting statistics that proved the library in Sechelt to be a growing and going concern. The number of paid memberships and renewals dropped slightly from 755 to 713 in 1988, but circulation was up 27,906 against 24,920. This translates into 179.7 books going out of the library every day it is open. The breakdown of this figure into categories shows 60.9 per cent of the books borrowed last year were fiction, 24.8 per cent non-fiction and 14.3 per cent juvenile. From past figures this shows an increase for non-fiction and juvenile books which was what the library was hoping to achieve. Reference books are being upgraded. That section of the library will continue to expand as much as the budget for 1989 permits. Barnett said a new trend has developed in the library. Readers are able to browse through an ever-increasing display of periodicals, newspapers, government publications and pamphlets. "Readers make good use of our easy chairs near the entrance of the library and of the large table and chairs back among the stacks," she said. During 1988 the Sechelt library added 15 periodical subscriptions to its selection, three of them in the pre-school section. Also addedto the stacks were 581 new fiction books, 263 non- fiction, 227 juvenile and 473 paperbacks. The library removed 505 books, most of which were sold in its two successful book sales. The library added the 1988 World Encyclopedia set and the World Book Encyclopedia of Science for Juniors to its collection. In the future it would also like to add to the reference sections, both adult and juvenile, craft and how-to books of use to the community and possibly start an audio visual collection. Quoting from a publication of the Royal Trust, Barnett said, "Studies show the older people get, the more time they read. People 65 and older spend 87 minutes a day reading on average, nearly doubie the time spent by people aged 25 to 44. "As Sechelt is a growing retirement community," Barnett said, "I'm sure that with our capable library board and our hard-working volunteers and paid staff, we can provide an ever-increasing and valuable service to this community." ���Haififaq:6ri^B^ GLASSFORD PRESS LTD. \ j T\ PESETTINC, LA YOU T t.

Right now she has in residence the duck who had a welding rod injury. He is still in a splint, but is coming along fine. Of the two Canada Geese with broken wings, Joan had to amputate one and the other one is healing. She also saved a Cooper's Hawk from certain death when a resident found the bird frozen to a wire gate during the very cold spell. He too is doing well now and will soon be released. It's great that we have someone in our neighbourhood like Joan who cares. AREA PLANNING Halfmoon Bay residents are invited to attend a meeting on Tuesday, March 7 at Cooper's Green Hall at 7:30 pm when the area planning committee will be in attendance. Looks like the Area B community plan may at last become a reality. It is in the interest of all residents to try to be there so that you will know who your committee representatives are and to discuss the plans. FIRE DEPT. NEWS Here is the fire department news for this week: We responded to three emergency calls, two which were for motor vehicle accidents and one for a shorted transformer.

Parents in the Halfmoon Bay and Redrooffs area expect to have a quality child care facility in place by September of this year. A survey taken by the parents shows a real need for this service. The area is one of the fastest growing on the Coast. Single parent families and families where both parents work are common. Although the project is still in the planning stage, parents expect to be able to accommodate children from under three years of age to grade 7 level. The group will be requesting the District 46 School Board to make available the two portable classrooms that will become vacant when the new Halfmoon Bay School opens in September. They'll also ask that these portables be moved on to the grounds of the new school. Principal Roger Douglas expressed his approval of the project. He sees it as a nucleus of what could ultimately become a community organization involving all age groups. Initial costs for the project are expected to be about $6000. Government funds are available only for relocation costs. So the groups is exploring other sources, such as the Vancouver Foundation, the Koerner Foundation and local fundrais- Get a Jump on | ^ Savings & *��� mg.

A truck driven by Max Pohlmann of Halfmoon Bay hit the ice and went off the road, striking a power pole in the process. The vehicle ended up on its roof and sustained damage of around $5000. The driver was checked out at St. Mary's Hospital and was released. B.C. Hydro crew attended the scene to carry out repairs. RCMP are warning drivers to be particularly careful both at Trout Lake and on the Rat Portage hill.

Library chairperson for 7 years by Ellen Frith Arthur McPhee of Sechelt stepped down from his role of chairman of the Sechelt Public Library Association at the annual general meeting February 21, grateful that he was turning over a growing concern to his successor. McPhee, a retired navy man, served eight years on the board and was chairman for seven. All the board members agreed they owed him a very large motion of thanks for his contribution to this community. In a luncheon earlier in the week, the board presented McPhee with a carved plaque depicting the 1660 royal vessel, The Mary. "That pleased me to no end," McPhee said. In his final words as chairman, McPhee acknowledged 'freedom to read' week and he told a joke.

Coast highways contract signed Capilano Highway Services Company, a private company, has agreed to purchase assets from the British Columbia ministry of transportation and highways in step two of the privatization of road and bridge maintenance contracts, Neil Vant Minister announced February 22. "I am pleased to announce we have entered into this initial agreement with Capilano Highway Services Company for the sale of equipment in the Gibsons contract area. The signing, which took place February 17, represents an important step towards finalizing the road and bridge maintenance privatization in this contract area," Vant said. The privatization process includes three steps: 1. Cabinet gives approval-uv principle for the sale of a specific contract area to a successful bidder. 2. The province and the successful bidder sign the asset sale agreement. 3. The province and the successful bidder sign the final contract. To date, cabinet has approved asset sale agreements in 27 of the 28 contract areas. Of these, 10 are employee groups. A total of 26 private sector groups have been awarded three year contracts for road and bridge maintenance services.

It announced its board of directors for 1989 and reported on the society's activities over the past year. It was felt by chairman Gerhard Tollas that in spite of cutbacks of 50 per cent in the society's financial support from local governments, in 1988, it managed several successes. These successes in promoting the Sunshine Coast as the ultimate destination for visitors to B.C. had an impact on tourism to the area in the past year, Tollas said. He was confident that they would continue to do so in the future. The TSCS's membership of local businesses from Gibsons to Lund do, on the most part, benefit directly from the tourist who comes to the Sunshine Coast. They are, therefore, interested in getting this area "into the picture' whenever possible: To this end, the TSCS organized advertising of the Sunshine Coast in various newspapers and publications across Canada and the United States. An ad went into eight newspapers in the Los Angeles area, for example, reaching an estimated two million readers. The TSCS also set up booths and displays in trade shows, printed brochures for distribution on all major ferry runs and included inserts in the larger travel magazines. The TSCS also organized a familiarization tour of the Sunshine Coast for a group of travel writers, tour counsellors and travel agents. Tollas hopes this potential tourist dollar to the region will encourage the councils of both Gibsons and the District of Sechelt to provide some funds for the TSCS. Powell River has already budgeted $10,000 for theTSCS,. providing these funds are matched by both Gibsons and Sechelt. "We need secure financing as an investment," Tollas said, "not a handout to a squeaky wheel." The TSCS also hopes for an increased membership of 40 for this year. The members of the TSCS board of directors for 1989-90 will be: Laura Williams, Sunshine Coast Smoking and Ocean Activity Centre; Davenia Morton, Lowe's Resort; Bill and Karen Phillips, Wilson Creek Campground; Brendon O'Keefe, Driftwood Inn; Vene Parnell, Sunshine Coast Tourism & Charters; Scott Sager, Powell River director of tourism; Peter Benjafield, Garden Bay Marina; Terrie Werner, Lund Breakwater Inn; Elke Cummins, Powell River Chamber of Commerce; Peggy Connor, SCRD; and Kay Bailey. The new board members will meet at the end of March and elect a new chairman. ; We're living in a changing society.

V8V1X4 ���\ Coast News, February 27,1989 by Peter Trower . Late one Sunday night when the unsuspecting watchman has begun his rounds, they dart across the shadowy lawn like ghosts, jimmy a basement window and gain access to the office. Herb decides on a 'rag shot', a light charge usually sufficient for small safes. He drills a hole just above and slightly to the left of the safe dial, then wraps a blasting cap with a piece of nitro soaked cotton and taps it gingerly into the cavity with a glass rod. The shot goes off like clockwork. Nothing happens. The ancient safe is obviously tougher than it looks. ��� Herb shrugs, prepares ano- ^.er rag-shot and hits the door a second time. Again the stubborn safe refuses to yield. Little Benny begins to get rattled. "Hey, what's going on?" he hisses. "I'll have to use more soup," says Herb tightly. He motions to Cox. "Better get outside with the buzzer and keep tabs oh the watchman. This may be a little noisier." With Little Benny's help Herb turns the safe on its back and prepares a heavier charge. They cover the box with rugs and newspapers, get the all clear from Cox, and Herb detonates the third shot. The resultant explosion, is alarmingly loud. The door tears completely free of the safe and crashes to the floor with Ed Hill (left) is shown presenting the painting 'Glass Ball' to Stan Jones for auction by the B.C. Wildlife Federation. ���Vera Elliott photo Glass balls are treasures Concert delights by Ruth Forrester . The Pacific Ocean surrenders its treasures grudgingiy. Only powerful storms and towering ���waves can snatch these treasures ; from its grasp. Glass balls have long been us- ,'ed by Japanese fishermen to float their nets. The Pacific j storms steal these balls from 'time to time. The Pacific claims them as her own, her currents pushing them in a circular path for years. They become a string of green pearls, jewelry adorning the Pacific. ; The visitor to the West Coast of North /America can often find glass balls on the open beaches or secreted behind the logs and growth at the shore. A true prize, the glass ball becomes a centerpiece, a reminder of their West Coast visit. If you haven't been one of the lucky ones yet, I hope my painting 'Glass Ball' can give you the sense of discovery that one must feel when they stumble on such a fine piece of Pacific Jewelry misplaced or forgotten by its powerful owner. The Sunshine Coast Arts Council may well be proud of its choice for the final concert in their Countryside Concerts series.

The two delegations will each be asking council's help in improving access to the school. Chairperson Nancy Denham wrote, "In summation, the problem is the narrow condition of the road and the sharp corners. We do not feel the problem is caused by exceeding the speed limit. "Nor is a minor change in the joining of the old and new pavement going to fully address our concerns," she wrote. The PAG requested the curbs be removed and the pavement widened, with completion of the project to occur before September, 1989.

Brahms' Drei Gesagne, Opus 42, are three tender choral songs. The last piece, Darthula's Dirge, is German poet Herder's rendition of a Celtic legend from the pen of Ossian. This conveyed a Nordic tinge. three French Canadian songs arranged by Richard Eaton greatly pleased the audience with their light-hearted and immaculate presentation. Equally delightful was the arrangement of four Negro spirituals by Jon Washburn for his suite Rise! Shine! The songs progressed from sadness to joy, starting with Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child and continuing to the glorious Rise, Shine, For The Light's A-Coming.

"Let's empty that thing and get out of here!" he hisses to a white-faced Little Benny. They shovel the loot holus- bolus into swag bags and make a hurried getaway. As they roar off in a rented car they spot the watchman running towards the burgled office. "Dammit," says Cox, "that was close." The haul comes to roughly $100,000. As they make the split in their Boston hotel room, Herb spots Little Benny craftily palming bills to pad his share. Since the volatile yegg is still packing his gun, Herb says nothing. But he bears the incident in mind and keeps a careful eye on Little Benny. They return to Detroit and rejoin the rest of the gang to pull off another safe job. Herb again spots the diminutive hood pocketing more than his rightful split. This time Herb gets. Little Benny alone and accuses him of taking the long end. The pint- sized chiseller cheerfully admits ���' ' it. ��� "I was figuring to go back to the single-O anyhow," he says. "I don't like splits." "I think that would be a good! idea," says Herb. Thus Little Benny Harris takes his leave of the Wilson: gang. Herb is relieved to see him go. After all, if you can't trust a fellow thief, who can you trust?

In fact, the world has already become virtually one country, and its problems can only be solved by the united will of humankind. Over a century ago, Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, said: "The well-being of mankind, its pe.ire and security are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly est -blished." Just as the teachings of Christ, Moses, Krishna, Buddha and Muhammad united great numbers of people in the past, the teachings that Baha'u'llah has brought from God in this age show the way to unity for all mankind.

A monologue in the shower is not communicating, because no one is receiving. Teachers are quite familiar with the putting out of information which is not necessarily takep in. TJie planet Mercury rules communication, and the sign that Mercury is located in when a person is born describes, to a large extent, the way in which they think, receive information (hear), and give out information (talk). It can be helpful to be aware of your own process. Because of the relative speeds at which the planets travel around the Sun, from our perspective Mercury will always be in the same sign as the Sun, the sign before, or the sign after. So if you were born when the Sun was in Aries, in your birth chart Mercury will be in Aries, Pisces or Taurus. Each sign will reveal something different about how you think and share information. See if you can identify which sign Mercury was in when you were born. If Mercury in is: Aries - you may get carried away with an idea without considering the ramifications, and your mouth may start talking before your brain kicks in. Taurus - you tend to take a practical view of things and want to think things through carefully before making a judgement. Don't believe that you aren't bright, you think slowly and thoroughly but you have a good mind. Gemini - you are not an airhead. You simply analyze things quickly and are ready for the next concept. You bore easily, because of your quick mind and then you can't think of anything more interesting to do than talk, and talk, and talk. Cancer - your thoughts are almost always coloured by your emotions and once you've got an idea in your head it's hard to change it. Leo - you tend to take pride in your thoughts and believe that you have the real answers, if people were only smart enough to listen to you. Please turn to page 19 DM34.EET $*��*.

Pups to Kil by Sonja Koskinen I.: ii In Minor Hockey action, the Pups travelled to Vancouver and played against the Killarney Pups. The first game against the host team was played at the Agrodome with Killarney winning 6-3. The Sechelt markers were Robert Trousdell scoring 2 goals and Brad Wing scored once. In the second game played at Killarney, the host team won 8-5. Jesse Smith scored a hat trick and Ben Tripp scored 2 goals. The coach for Killarney, Mel Worthington, should be credited for his efforts. Sechelt Pups had an enjoyable weekend, not only playing hockey but also forming new friendships with the Killarney hockey players. At this annual event a great time was had by one and all. In local Pup action, the Drifters won 4-1 over the Flyers. For Drifters, Riki Peers and James Rickbeil each scored twice. Cody Munson scored for the Flyers. In Atom action, Langley won 4-2 over the Sechelt Wings with Jonathon Fawcus and J. Pa- quin scoring for Sechelt. In a second game Langley won 3-1 with Bill Kinley scoring the lone marker for the Sechelt Wings. In Pee Wee action, the Thunderbirds defeated the Blackhawks 11-6. Brad Wingfield scored 3 goals, G. Bell and R. Seager scored twice. Tige Pollock, S. Gaudry, Ryder Irvine and Aaron MacDonald scored once for the Thunderbirds. Scoring for the Derby helps student Stacy Price, daughter of Bill Jr. and Kim Price, Gower Point Road, a blind grade eight student at Elphinstone Secondary School, now is the happy owner of a lap top computer. This new computer is designed for use by the blind. It is for Stacy's personal use at school and at home. It was purchased jointly by the Gibsons Ladies Fishing Derby committee and the school district. The derby's donation is $1200, three-fifths of the total cost. Three of its four years, the derby funds have been set aside to assist students in the area. One year the funds went to St. Mary's Hospital. This has been possible for the most part, by the generous donations of, and towards, prizes by most of the businesses in Gibsons such as 'Just For You', which was missed in press thank yous last spring. The ladies return again and again for the good times and to win one of the big prizes. Without the business community's assistance, the derby obviously could not be so generous and helpful. The great turnout and participation by the ladies is, of course, the major reason for the derby's success. In 1988, 140 ladies took part, caught lots of fish, had a great time, and won many beautiful prizes. i The Men's Derby challenged the women in the first instance to have their own derby because they weren't 'allowed' to fish with the men. Little did they know or anticipate the women would show them up each year by catching more fish and bigger fish. Now plans are underway for the Fifth Annual Ladies Derby, set for the weekend of May 12 to 14. They again look forward to seeing all the ladies and to the Gibsons and area businesses for support and assistance.

Coast News, February 27,1989 _^ /The Vancouver Island Gas Company (Vigas) was chosen as the single successful applicant to build gas distribution systems in 16 towns and communities on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, Energy Minister Jack Davis announced February 20. It has been decided the Sunshine Coast office and materials depot will be in Gibsons, Mayor Diane Strom told Gibsons Town Council February 21. Vigas has agreed to try to employ local people for the work to be done here, Mayor Strom said. Vigas, a subsidiary of Inter- City Gas, already holds the franchise for the Nanaimo area. Last month Vigas gained the greater Victoria area through its purchase of the former B.C. Hydro Victoria Gas Division for $16.7 million. "This means the entire gas service area has a proven distribution company ready to start work on the systems to deliver gas to residential, commercial, and small industrial customers," said Davis. "As a result of today's decision, Vigas will install more than 1000 kilometres of gas mains, hooking up 24,000 customers over the system's initial 10 year development." This is in addition to the company's expansion of 55,000 hookups in greater Victoria and a further 9,000 in Nanaimo which will be developed at the same time. Vigas was judged to have the most cost-effective proposal, the least need for government financial assistance, and the best market development and expansion strategy. "Fast action to build the market is vital to the project. Vigas' marketing programs are backed by the company's cross Canada experience and by the provincial government's gas conversion assistance program," said Davis. "Under the federal/provin cial financial agreement, a $55 million fund will assist residential, commercial, and industrial customers to convert to gas. Announcements on who's eligible and the specifics of the program will be made shortly," Davis added. The Vigas bid was selected after technical assessments of the engineering, financial, environmental, and marketing proposals put forward by three established gas distribution utilities. Energy Minister Davis and Environment Minister Bruce Strachan will issue the province's formal approval documents. "The shift to natural gas brings cleaner air and other environmental benefits to the whole south coast region," said Strachan. "Reduced oil barge traffic will mean a lower risk of spills." Following formal approval, Vigas will negotiate franchise Please turn to page 19 .'APPLIANCE SERVICES ��� CONCRETE SERVICES ��� FINANCIAL SERVICES ��� GEN.

Life-saving blood and blood products are distributed free of direct charge to almost 900 Canadian hospitals by the Canadian Red Cross Society. There's a Red Cross Clinic for Sunshine Coast blood donors Tuesday, March 28 from 2 to 8 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall on Wharf Street in Sechelt. Since 1947, volunteer donors have been providing the lifeline for Red Cross blood services. The Red Cross now operates 17 blood centres that collect, test, process and distribute more than 20 different blood products across Canada. These products are used to treat people undergoing surgery, hemophiliacs, pregnant mothers and newborn babies, cancer and burn victims. The Red Cross makes the most efficient use of each donation. Five percent of all units collected is stored and distributed as whole blood; the other 95 percent is separated into red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma. Each part can then be transfused separately according to a patient's specific needs. The whole donation process (registration, drawing of blood, rest) takes only about 45 minutes, yet one donated unit of blood (450 ml) can help up to three or four people. You can give blood every three months. That's how long it takes your body to completely replenish the blood given. March is Red Cross Month. The Canadian Red Cross Society depends on your help to continue its life-saving service. Become a blood donor and-^x- perience the greatest gift you can give, "The Gift Of Life'.

An RCMP player leaps for the ball in this charity match again^ Chatelech Secondary School teachers Friday. ���Vera EHiott pbot^ Chatelech charity night raises $450 Before I tell you what the outcome of the Chatelech Band fund raiser, I would like to thank all the people that were involved in the tournament. Thanks to the time/score keepers, refs, door persons, concession people, all the teams that played, cookie and muffin makers, a big thanks to all the spectators that came out to support this event. Now for the outcome of the tournament. The numbers in the brackets will be the scores of the games. RCMP (30) vs teachers (13); B.C. Tel Ding-a- lings (7) vs senior boys (44); senior boys (1) vs RCMP (13); teachers (1) vs B.C. Tel Ding-a- lings (0). This wasn't the right score. The teachers did win. By the time everyone stopped bending over looking at their feet trying to catch their breath, the score was off the score board, sorry. So the tournament winners were the senior boys basketball team, second place went to the RCMP. Third place went to the teachers and fourth place went to the boys from B.C. Tel. Now for the good part. The money taken in from the donations at the door, concession and the 50/50 draw came tp around $250. At half time the Chatelech Band was presented with a cheque for $200 from B.C. TfL Oh, 1 forgot, the specially trained cheerleaders from B.C. Tlel won the cheerleading contest^; Thanks again to everyone who came out to make piir tournament a success. Y Gibsons Swimming Poo) Rhythms of Life Continued from page 15 Virgo - your mind is like a surgeon's knife. You analyze and disect all information that comes your way, but you may get so absorbed in the nuances of why a person may be saying something that you don't really hear what they say. Libra - you have a wonderful ability to see every side of an issue, and spend so much time examining them all that you . may find it difficult to make any decision. Scorpio - you have an ability to see into people and issues, beyond the surface hoopla, but for that very reason your mouth can be devastating if you get angry. Sagittarius - new ideas and concepts are like candy for you, you love them. But what you may consider honest speaking, may seem a little rude to others. That doesn't mean you have to change but be aware of the effect you have. Capricorn - life is a serious business! As a matter of fact it's so serious it's downright bizarre and you see that. Give yourself time to think things through, don't let others rush you, you need to figure out the practical aspects of new ideas. Aquarius - you know that you're right and the rest of the world is just plain dumb or stubborn. You think in new and unusual ways but tend to get dogmatic about your ideas. Pisces - like those with Mercury in Cancer, your, thinking is coloured by your emotions, but you tend to spend a lot of time and energy in fantasy land, and will interpret the external world in ways that will allow you to fit it into your fantasies. Matching your own thought process and how other people react to your attempts to communicate, will help you know what you may need to adjust if you want dialogue instead of the shower monologue.
