If you check into your back issues of the Coast News^y&u will^iind -jthat I have "already ^answered all of these questions on our support of the relocation of Highway 101 as proposed by the department of __.ghways. As for ah answer t^ the letter to the Regional District, I find it too ridiculous to> answer such an unsigned letter, full of ynothing but false accusations and misleading statements, especially when whoever composed it did .not have the common courtesy to send me ;a copy of the letter'. I would also like to take this opportunity to let the public know of the support said help that- we have- had. frbm. our local representative in Victoria, Isobel Dawson, an our planning, sewer development, and other matters of public need. ���/ ���-'. '���,-. I assure you that it is not, as Mr....West states; that Mrs. Dawson, lis supporting me; she is truly supporttimg you, the taxpayer, through me; and I must say that she has done more for this area than any other representative we have had in the past. ���Mayor Walter Peterson. Hon. Isabel Dawson has announced that a final dec-sloti has been made concerning the new highway route from Liang- dale Ferry Terminal througn; ��� Gibsons. * . .-'���.% At a. meeting, with Department of Highway officials the problh lem as to which route would best serve, the interest of the community as a whole was discussed, ix- The upper route was considered to ibe principally, a trul bypass j, of the villagje anci neiighfoc^frg -^community'of Gif| ^or_sS|��^yj*J^uld*v4^ by cutting. o^: all access except the one at North Road. It would also pass through the water system above the reservoir which would, inevitably raise problems of risks of pollution of the water supply. It would .also severely restrict any extension of the water system. The route would cost considerably more than the lower route originally proposed by the Department, of Highways. Estimates place the additional cost at about $200,000. The lower route proposed by the Department would, on the other hand, provide excellent access to the con-imunity by constructing intersections �� at North Road at two points* Park Road and Henry Road., This would ensure that both local and through traffic would bt well served. The route would, be constructed for two lane traffic ini tially, but sufficient right:- ;,_ of' way .would ^ be; j^ch^edK to: ^;^}^ly4<^_0ri' a;^utwe-~fori^ane^ ; mall-type '".'of facility. Such a facility would not be a freeway and -would not divide the community into two parts but would rather serve as a central core route serving the future =���: development on both" sides!. * This w;ould not be the case on the upper route which 'because: : of steep terrain could not be; accessed- ��� An amendment, to the original route chosen by the Department would place the junc tion of tlie new route with existing Highway 101 near Henry Road, cutting out ..the proposed line along Russell Road. This [would reduce the total length foy 1% miles. .The existing. Highway 101 would be improved by cutting across the S-Bend and itaproving the curve at Roberts Creek Road; this intersection would be redesigned. This lan_ehdment would reduce number of properties affected. A possoible problem of safe- ��� guarding- -;^il.'^.en:''^,^oingV'<4_i&. highway would be dealt -with by provided frontage road or protected asphalt walkways. It was considered, that the balance of arguments for and against the two routes was in favor of the revised lower route as originally designed by the Department of Highways and it has therefore been decided to proceed this this.

One way to curb 'inflation would be to base wage and price ceilings on the national product figure each year, Mike Blaney, Liberal candidate in the provincial election told an audience of about 35 at an organization - meeting in the Pen- . inisua Dining Room, Sechelt, Thursday of last week. He maintained that keeping wage and price levels with in the limits of the annual na- ibnal product percentage increases would do' considerable to alleviate present' day leapfrogging of prices and costs. They would foe allowed, to advance jonly as far as the national product percentage figure would allow. Politically Mr. Blaney was of the opinion the Liberal party was battling Don Lockstead of the; NDP as his opposition. He felt that Hon. Isabel Dawson had.ended her usefulness as a member representing Mackenzie constituency. Liberals aire the only real al- Ban sprinkling Due to the lack of attention to sprinkling regulations foy people served by the Sunshine Coast Water Authority all sprinking has been cancelled. Up to the present, odd number homes sprinkle on one day and even numfbers on another. This apparently was not carried out by sprinklers so Charles Gooding, Regional District administrator has cancelled all sprinkling for the time being. ternative for the voters. H_-�� : maintained the electorate did not want to see the NDP take over reins 'of office. He was certain the public was fed up with Social Credit policies but it was up to him .to convince the public power should not be handed over to the NDP. He showed great concern over the political climate in this province because the So- Phone expansion An expansion of B.C. Telephone Company's central office in Pender Harbor and an addition to the switching equip ment will be completed by the end of this year, the company announces. -Contract for, the construction has been awarded to Hodgson King & Marble Ltd., for $17, 000. The addition will accommodate increased, switchng equipment required to meet future service demands. The number of telephones served from the Pender Harbor central office has increased one- third in the last 5 years. JULY WEATHER July weather reveals a total rainfall of 3.47 inches during five days from July 5 to 10. Last year in the five day period from July 5 to 10 total rain was 0.69. The 10 year average is 2 inches. The wettest' July was 1964 with 4.03 inches, and the driest, 1965 with 0.27 inches. This year's high temperature was 81 and the low 48. cred policy was a matter of continual confrontation with specific elements of our society which 'are being promoted and perpetuated by Premier Bennett for the party's own political benefit. A government must have the confidence of all segment's of the population and have the ability to negotiate solutions. Mutual respect is necessary for negotiations, he said. On the subject oif a conflict of interest of individuals in public office, Mr. Blaney was of the opinion that public officials should be obliged to reveal all their financial operations which would put a halt to all conflicts of interest. Mrs. Sheila Kitson, chairman of the district school board, chaired the meeting. Two drowned Two mishaps on the Skookumchuk, Egmont, over the weekend drowned one lad and another is missing, believed drowned. The known drowned lad was Geoffrey Williiam Clark of Vancouver in his 16th year. He was in a canoe Sun- d'ay when it upset. The other youth aged 21, Rennde Milton Cook was in a 15 ft plywood boat with his mother about 8 p.m. Monday evening when the craft became involved in difficulies. The mother made it to shore. His father is reported to be fishing in the Alert Bay area. RCMP investigated both mishaps. Board did not approve Reports that the Sunshine Coast Regional District board has thrown its support behind the new highway A as presented by the highways department (map on this* page) are refuted completely by Charles Gooding, board administrator. Mr. Gooding ,said there has been no change at all in the board's position which rejected Route A, favoring Route C close to the B.C. Hydro line. "A stateiment by Hon. Isabel Dawson infers that the Region- el Board would find changes to the proposed' 'lower route' acceptable and therefore the wjhole relocation acceptable. This followed a discussion between the board's planning director, Mr. Cuylits and the department of highways' director of locations, Mr. Read- shaw," said Mr. Gooding. "This is not correct. Mr. Cuy lits and Mr. Readshaw as res- ponsibe officials have discussed the merit or otherwise of various routes and amendments to routes and obviously some would be preferable to othefs. These ctiscussiions, at a technical level, have not yet been referred to the board which therefore has not had an opportunity to consider them. The board's present .position is unchanged. It remains fi__n in it!s recornrneandatiori i5tiiy;^_fei_rt_^Cs��is trie: preferred Fbute." Chairman Harry Almond has oulined the board's position in negotiations in which the board took part covering the deliberations or lack of same between roads department officials and the board. His analysis follows: For the past few weeks I have been asked by many people for information on the proposed new highway location, and what is the Regional board's position on the matter. To help clear up a few points I can, offer a few facts. "First it states quite clearly in the Municipal Regulations, concerning' Regional Districts that the board shall prepare regional plans including the location of highways (Section 795). Also section 797 stated "neither Regional Board nor council .of a member municipality shall enact any provision or initiate any works which would impair or impede the ultimate realization of the objective of the regional plan, etc/' If a new highway is proposed and planned without reference to the Regional board, then this negates the whole concept of planning, and the idea of Regional Boards as originally set up. This new highway was planned and announced without any reference .whatsoever to the Regional Board. Apparently Gibsons council had advance information and. perhaps had even done considerable lobbying for this relocation for a number of years prior to the announcement. The Regional Board rightly or wrongly waited for the Highways Department to approach them with their plans. They never came. After the announcement of the location and route late last year, the Regional Board began to move, first- protesting the lack of co-operation, protesting also the proposed location, and then instructing our planner* to investigate locations (Continued on Page 10) ONLY 3 DA YS left for Kiwanis Senior Citizens Boat Draw 2 Coast News, Aug. 9, 1972.

New unemployed count! Two years ago the Coast News editorially suggested to the IXjminion Bureau of Statistics, now known as Stiajtistacs Canado, that there should foe a method of getting dlown to a more true ���estimate of unemployment. fudging from an article in a recent Toronto Globe and Mail survey of Statistics Canada intentions in this fi'efd, it looks as though something will foe undertaken. To quote from the Globe, and Mail articlete, "bomihion Statistician Sylvia Ostry (the first woman statistician chief the bureau has ever had) said the new system., designed to be more useful both to government policy makers and to academic analysts of the Canadian economy, will take 3-V_ years to get into full operation." Dr. Ostry, formerly a director of the Economic Council of Canada .stressed that planning for the new system was begun two years ago on the initiative of Statistics Canada officials without any prompting from the cab-net. It was two years ago that the Coast News enquired editorially as to how many of those classified as _men_ployed were in a true sense, unemployed��� For example, various people who have retired and based on government regulations were drawing their accumulated unemp-oyment insurance, had no intention ���of returning to the labor force. Such individuals were classified as being unemployed. There must be quite a large number of such people. How about those who of their own liniiftiative, work for so long then decide to quit and eat up their ���unemployment insurance? Forced unemployment and to be unemployed' of one's ifree will makes statistics somewhat unrelilafole in ascertaining true unemployment. Apparently the new setup will report on miarginaU people who occasionally take a short term job tout are not interested in year round employment, also those not actively seeking work but who would take a job if one was offered'. There are those who quit of their own choice not desiring to wiork, yet they are tafoulated as unemployed. The bureau expects it might take ZV-z years to get the new system working and while it is being perfected it will run alongside the old system so that the bureau can make comparjjsons ���to decide where improvements can foe achieved. It should result in a more educated estimate of true unemployment. It will cost more but it should be worth ithe effort. Power of excellence U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Daniel James, deputy assistant secretary of Public Affairs, a noted fighter pilot and one of the highest ranking black military officers Jn concluding rent-arks in an address to the U.S. National Association of Secondary .School Principals, said: "The power of excellence is overwhelming.

Buckley The Agricuture Canada Plant Research Institute, Herbs require a minimum of care. They will grow in the poorest of soils. In fact, they prefer a poor gravelly or sandy soil. Nearly all herbs should be planted in the full sun,: and most will withstand drought "very well. Set the herb garden apart from the rest of your garden. Although they are not voracious feeders, herbs do like a good deep soil. The herb garden should be as near the kitchen door as possible, making it convenient for the housewife who can dash out to pick a few leaves While cooking is in progress. A position sheltered from the wind, is also an advantage since the herb garden also serves as a scented garden and the delightful fragrance is best kept confined. Th e herb garden may foe as simple or as elaborate as required, with a few clumps of herbs in a corner near the kitchen or a larger garden with separate divisions for each herb. A good plan is to make a foerb. wheel in the centre of the garden with a sundial or birdbath as the hub and different herbs planted, in each segment of the wheel. Like other plants, herbs are divided into annuals, biennials and perennials. The annual henbs may foe sown outside early in. the spring, or inside in cold frames and transplanted later. The best of these are Sweet Basil, which is used in soups, meat dishes and with tomatoes; This is a graceful plant that grows from two to three feet high and has light green leaves. A variety of the basil with shiny purple leaves named Dark Opal won a gold medal award as a decorative annual a few years ago. Sweet Majoram, which is usually grown as an annual in Canada, although it is a perennial farther south and in areas where winters are not severe. It is a small plant with pale lavender flowers. Its rounded leaves are used as a seasoning in stuffing and. for soups. Summer Savory, which has lavender flowers and small pointed leaves. It is used as a flavoring for vegatafoles.

There are three good biennial herbs, the best and most common being parsley. Sow the seeds of this plant early in spring and keep over the winter either inside the house or in cold frames that can be protected by burlap or boards. Caraway should be sown in early autumn for producing its seeds the following summer. The third, Clary, should foe planted in July to get good plants for the following year. The perennial herbs persist from year to year and comprise such kinds as mint, thyme, sage, taragon, pot marjoram, horehound, hyssop, chamomile, lavender, rue, chives, tansy, angelica, horseradish and winter savory. -'Many of these are easily raised from seeds sown in June and transplanted to nursery beds before setting them out in fall or spring. Some species must be purchased as plants since they are propagated only from seeds or cuttings. Chives can foe obtained as plants or from seeds sown in the fall. They make a neat border plant and once established need dividing occasion- ": Thyme is a low creeping plant that can be used to form a mossy path provided it is not subjected to constant traffic; its leaves are used in stuffings, stews or soups. Sage is a robust perennial with purple flowers and gray leaves. The plants should ibe cut back when they become overgrowm so as to produce new growth. The mints prefer a shady part of the garden and should be kept thinned out The herb garden will need ordinary daily attention such as weeding, cultivating, pinching back and shearing as each plant. demands. When picking herbs for drying, choose fully opened, flowiers and leaves. Dry them .in trays in a warm airy shed or room. When thoroughly dry, store in airtight glass jars. In early fall before killing frosts, transplant chives, parsey, chervil, mint and balm to pots. Keep them in a sunny .location and they will provide a useful source of herbs during the winter.

Sandwiches are usually a very important part of the menu on. these special occasions particularly dainty bite- size ones. When preparing sandwiches vary the shapes, sizes and fillings but do not overdo it. Three or four kinds of plain sandwiches cut in fancy shapes are usually enough with a few fancier types . to decorate the plates. Use soft fresh bread, thinly sliced. Sand which-type loaves are usually best. Use soft but not melted butter. For easy spreading, cream or whip butter until light and fluffy. Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread to keep moist fillings from soaking in. Use a filling that is moist and creamy arid easy to spread, or use very thinly sliced meat or cheese. Taste the filling' with the bread to make sure it has sufficient seasoning, color and flavor interest. > Chill sandwiches before cutting them. Cut crusts from sand wicbes just before serving. Do not stack dainty sandwiches on the serving plateis; they show up to best advantage if they are artistically arranged and placed not too close to- . gether. Garnish plates simply with parsley,_ pickles, radishes or carrot curls. Most cold sandwiches, with the exception of those containing lettuce and tomato, can. be made in advance arid stored in a cool place. If possible, they ���should be left whole, wrapped in plastic film and stored in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh up to 24 hours. Dainty sandwiches that have, been cut in various shapes should foe stored in a plastic container or placed on serving plates and covered with plastic film or a not-too-danap towel.

Kelowna Charter to all British Columbians The first twenty years of Social Credit Goveiximent have resulted in great strides throughout our social and economic life. But great as these achievements have been; the important thing today is what the future holds for the people of our province. When Premier Bennett announced the Kelowna Charter on June 1st, he proved that this Government continues to create policies which truly matter to all the people ofBritishColumbia. A special - session of the legislative Assembly will be held in October to ratify the Charter and allow us to begin the important job of extending new benefits to British Columbians in all walks of life. To create jobs through new secondary industries An expanded range of secondary industries can mean thousands of new jobs for British Columbians. This is the main idea behind the British Columbia Development Corporation. This Crown Corporation will provide loans at extremely low rates ��� only one percent interest during the first year ��� to new industries engaged in food processing or other secondary manufacturing. An end to succession duties and probate fees At the special Legislative session, succession duties and probate fees will be cancelled. This will allow British Columbians to build up capital in their own hands . .. for investment in enterprises which aid provincial growth and create new jobs. Higher pension for senior citizens British Columbia's supplementary allowance to the federal Old Age Pension is already the highest in Canada ��� and this allowance will be further increased by the end of the year. This new benefit, included in the Kelowna Charter, will be in addition to the $50 annual grant instituted this year for all home-owners and renters aged 65 years and over. No more gift tax The gift tax affecting individuals, charitable organizations and foundations will also be cancelled at the special session. Increased social assistance allowances This province provides the highest social assistance allowances in the nation . . . and this year, the benefits will again be increased for citizens "who are handicapped through age, mental or physical disability. The minimum wage will be increased In most areas of employment, British Columbia's niinirnuni wage levels are already the highest in Canada ... . but this Government accepts its responsibility to provide increased minimum wage standards. This, too, will be acted upon at the special Legislative session. Subsidies for youth during job training . British Columbia's youth of school and university age will be given special aid in gaining on-the-job training through a new social assistance program. Under this plan, the Provincial Government will subsidize the youthful employee by sharing in the payment of wages and salaries. ITiese humane, job-producing policies are worthy of your support.

Since the female mosquito is drawn to lay her eggs in* water containinlg the pheromone, selected breeding pools could be treated with high enough concentrations of the chemical to attract the females anid drown them as they ���attempt to land. Or, they could be attracted to pools which dry up before the larvae can develop. CASH FOR GUNS NYGREN SALES (1971) LTD. 886:9303 Gibsons Church Services ANGLICAN St. Bartholomew's Rev. David H. P.

Further grant for committee The Sunshine Coast Recreation Centre cc-_nmit.ee reports that it applied for a further grant of $8,705 from the Canada Works Local Initiatives Program and received it late last week. This igrant will cover the eniployrnen/t of six people until Sept. 30. Grants so far received total $28,704 for the improvement of the Recreation Centre grounds. The earlier project under the government scheme was closed but on June 16. The grant of a further sum will keep it going until the end of Septemiber. work increasing More help is needed in the Regional board's office, particularly in the building inspection and planning departments, Charles Gooding, board secretary, reported at last wieek's'board meeting. He said there is a problem with the overall work load at the distriict office which has reached the stage where extra help is needed particularly in the area of building inspection and planning. This situation is particularly difficult during holiday periods where due to the technical nature of the work it is not possible for other staff members' to adequately fill the gap. At present the building inspector -who had requested holidays at this time is unable to take them as a suitable replacement is not available. He requested the board avoid, as far as possible, holding committee meetings in the same week as the regular meeting. This would enable the work to be spread more evenly and not interfere with tbe -preparation" of material for the regular meeting.

Neither one of iis have grounds for divorce. Are there any legal steps I should be taking to protect my interests*? A: Yes. We don't know your exact eireu-nsfcanees and of course, legal _jdsvice would de-- pend on this but we will assume that you are in the position of the average married man, that is: 1. That you have a wi.1 in your wife's favour, 2. That you __ave a liife insurance policy in your wife's favour, 3." You and your wife! own a dwelling-house in joint tenancy and 4. There are children of the. marriage. You should be thinking of (four things: 1. A new will, eL Change of life insurance beneficiary, 3. Breaking the joint tenancy on your house and 4. A separation agreement. You should obtain legal advice on making ~a new will leaving your estate to your children af they are adults or onr trust for them if they are minors. The possibility of your wife attacking the will should be considered. You should probably change the beneficiary of your life insurance policies to your estate. One joint tenant automatically inherits the share of the other joint tenant upon the death of one of them and a will cannot change this. You can, however, break the jointure converting it into a Ten- ancy-In ��� Common and your half would, then form a part of your estate when you die and go according to your will. Whenever a married couple separate they should enter into a Separation Agreement. This is not something that can be sued for but is simply a* contract that the parties agree on if they can. The usual terms ���are: I. Parties to live apart and not to interfere with one ���another, 2. Custody of the children to wife. 3. Visiting privileges re childiren' to husband. 4. Wife not to cause children to reside beyond, a certain distance from husband's place of employment. 5. Support for children to be paid by husband to wife till they die, marry, or became 19 years of age or self supporting. 6. Support for wife by hus*- iband ( or course, if wife has committed adultery, or deserted the husband, she would not normally be receiving support from him). 8. Sale of dwelling-house and division of net proceeds if the house was owned in joint-tenancy by the parties. Sometimes the husband will deed his portion to the wife and monthly support payments to her will be deferred or reduced* for a. period. 9. Division* of furniture - usually the bulk of this would go to the wife - if she has to maintain a home for the children. 10. Division of joint bank account. 11. Car - usually this would go to the husband. 12. Personal property to the parties. 13. tChildrenV belongings to the wife. 14. Sale and division of any jointly owned assets. 15. Each party to renounce the right to administer the other's estate. None of these things affect your right to sue your wife in the future for a divorce, if you have grounds to do so.

Some 35 guests sat down to a buffet supper. The table was centred with a lovely floral arrangement of yellow mums ���and carnations and a 2-tiered wedding cake flanked toy tall gold candles. Many cards, letters, telegrams and flowers were received from far and near with a long distance phone call from their son Jim from. Stewart, Congratulations came from Prime Minister Trudeau, Pre- . mier Bennett, Lt, Governor Nicholson and Mr. Mussallem, M.L.A. (Maple Ridge). John and Gertie were presented .with a green tree on which friends and relatives had pinned money. Guests included Mr. and Mrs. John Corlett Jr. and family, Delta; Mrs. Jim Corlett and boys, Haney; Miss Anita Fat- tenaude, "Winnipeg; Mrs. M. Crick, -Vancouver; . Mr. and Mrs. Nelson "Winegarden, Pow- el River; Mr. and Mrs. Bud Fisher and Mr. and Mrs. Guy Fisher, Gibsons. No approval (Continued from Page 1) land use, etc., with a view to fiilnding ithe best route. This was. done, a* plan and. report drawn up which agreed (coin- oidentally) with the ideas and feelings of the people in the area affected by the re-location. The highways department's reaction was a letter agreeing with the feasibility and practicali-ty of route C (the higher route). Meanwhile, pro*- ,- tests against *_he original route A (the lower one) had been expressed, a petition signed by over 1200 people and much public debate on the.... whole subject, ���.heard, in various ratepayers and community associations. All favored route C. . Concerning the Village of Gibsons: The Mayor, apparently, has again approached the officials in Victoria. The purpose of his visit, he says, was to talk of the location of cutoffs to. the village. Now the Village, for reasons which I feel are obscure, still favors route A. The only valid objection seems to be the water supply location in relation to route C, Which, though of extreme importance, is not an insurmountable problem. The question of why the Mayor goes to Victoria, who he takes with him*, and what authority , he has, are questions -which should be asked of Gibsons council, since we must assume, he has the support of council and presumaby the support of, the people of Gibsons, and any question of his motives or loyalties must be referred to them The questions we should ask, and in fact will ask are these:; . Why does the highways department choose to avoid consultations with the Regional Board? Why dtoes the department and our representative in Victoria choose to ignore the wishes of over 1200 people and various ratepayer and community organizations? The new highway will toe outside the village, and provided that cut-offs to the village are planned intelligently the higher location will not negav tively affect the village at all. I might add; that the Regional Board already controls the zoning around the village fooun daries, and will continue to do so. However urgent the need for a new highway, the aliena-v tion of good flat1 land, and the -Solat-O-- of residents from clear access to schools and stores is hot justifiable these days. Too much of this has al- readiy (been done.. A highway in the wrong place will never be moved. ��� it would be better not built. I do not think the people in Victoria are really aware of the high feelings of ������he people here on this matter. However these ideas and Questions will be brought to their attention hopefully this week. SHOP CO-OP SAVE Some of our WEEKEND FEATURES ICE CREAM BIG DIPPER, 3 pint dn.
