This series of pictures taken by Coast News photographer Ian Corrance graphically catches the sequence as the Utilities corridor stalled again boat first stands on one pontoon before turning completely over. The cause ot Ihe accident has not been fully determined. At the Regional Board meeting held on Thursday, November 16, Public Utilities Chairman Morgan Thompson told the Regional Board that no success had been achieved in trying to get the Provincial Government to facilitate the Utilities Corridor through Sechelt. The text of Thompsons' Progress Report is given below: "Thc Utility Corridor Committee has not received any response from the Provincial Governmeni to its request for a joint meeting with Mr. Curtis. Mr. Williams and Mr. Neilson. The Corridor Committee sent a teller October 4, 1978 to the three Ministers explaining the seriousness of the water shortage situation, outlining the proposed route for the utility corridor, and requesting a joint meeting to discuss the issue. The Committee explained thai the Regional District is not able lo supply adequate water to areas west of Sechell without approval of the corridor to allow the establishment of a 14" main through the Sechelt Isthmus, The construction of the water line would need to start by November 1978 in order to service thc area in time for thc summer of 1979. Therefore a meeting with the Ministers was requested to be held prior to October 27, 1978. "There has been no written reply from any of the minis- teries. Thc Chairman of thc Regional Board, Mr. Harry Almond, has attempted on eight occasions to contact the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Mr. Hugh Curtis. Mr. Almond requested Mr. Curtis to return his call and offered to travel to Victoria to meet with him to discuss the seriousness of the sitUiition. Mr. Curtis has not been available nor has he returned any of his telephone calls. His senior staff has contacted Ihe staff of the Regional District asking for clarification of thc requested meeting. "Staff has been informed that senior staff from each provincial agency involved has drafted a position paper on the utility corridor and these papers arc being circulated between agencies. Only after their review will the matter be presented to thc Ministers. "It is obvious that a meeting between the Utility Corridor Committee and the three Ministers will not be held prior to December 1978. It appears most unlikely therefore that the water main can be built in time to supply water next summer to thc areas west of Sechell. "The Regional District first proposed construction of a 14" main during Ihe winter of 1975���76. Since that time the situation has become critical. Fire protection is inade quate in the summer for a period of up to two months. There are occasions where there is no water for hours at a time which could create a potential health hazard. A moratorium on development in the area west of Sechelt may be necessary. Unless the Corridor proceeds and water supply can bc improved the Regional Board will have to consider refusing to issue building permits and recommending against all subdivision proposals." SMT assures Sechelt A letter of reassurance that SMT Bus Lilies had no intention of culling back on services was circulated amongst members al lasl week's Council meeting in Sechelt. The following Is an excerpt: "While ii would be rather difficult for us to issue you a guarantee thai we will never consider changes in our existing services at any future point in time, wc can assure you that the expiry of our depot lease in Sechelt is in no way connected with a plan to reduce bus service. We-will bc establishing a new agency in Sechell lo act as an express terminal and passenger stop to coincide with (he closing of our present facility." The letter was over thc signature of W.H.Hamilton, General Manager, SMT. Mr. Clayton presented Council with a set of revised plans showing the landscaping for thc extension of thc Trail Bay Mall. In his presentation Clayton stated that he had been in consultation with residents in thc neighbourhood and they had looked on it favourably. After examination of thc plans Council gave its approval.

New cards to cost residents A meeting will bc held In Gibsons on Wednesday of Ihis week lo discuss thc Ferry Corporation's plans for the issuance of new commuter cards. Thc meeting has been suggested by fhe Municipal Council of Powell River. Thc suggested date of the re-Issuance of thc new commuter cards is December 31 and there is some question as lo whether or not this date can bc met. In addition, lhc Ferry Corporation's intention Is to charge the users $2.00 for each commuter card. Thc Powell River Council point out thai in lhc past thc Ferry Corporation have met thc cost of Issuing commuter cards and on this occasion, since they seem to bc alone in considering new commuter cards necessary, there appears to be no good reason why residents should bear the cost. In conversation with the Coast News, MLA Don Lockstead also expressed himself as being firmly opposed to the charge to residents of this cosl and could sec no reason why Ihe commuter cards were necessary before next summer al thc earliest, "This is lhc Ferry Corpora- lion's Idea," said Lockstead. "and as such Ihcy should meet lhc cosl." Successful candidate Joyce Kolibas casts her ballot in the Sechelt Municipal election last weekend. From Recreation Committee Lee resigns Regional Director Charles Lee of Area 'C resigned from the Recreation Committee of Ihe Regional Hoard at the regular meeting held on November 16. Lee's resignation was effective October 27, he said. In a prepared statement, Lee charged that Ihe entire recreation package hud been very poorly prepared. "I find there has been complete irresponsibility and culpable negligence. There is nolhing on recreation except a complete morass of malinforma- lion and misinformation," said Lee. Board Chairman Harry Almond challenged Lee's assertions as they applied to the Roberts Creek Hall and the Pender Harbour swimming pool specifically. Thc director's resignation was unanimous!, accepted with regret. fcatcd In Saturday's elections. Alderman Lorraine Goddard lopped the polls and was returned lo council for another two years.

Delayed again The long drawn-out dispute about thc rezoning of the property belonging lo the Jackson Bros. Logging Company in Tuwanek look another twist al the Regional Board meeting held on Thursday. November 16. when Regional Director for thc area. Charles Lee, reversed his position and opposed Ihe rezoning on behalf of lhc Sandy Hook and Tuwanek Ratepayers. The property had already an industrial use when lhc original zoning vveni into effect and the Regional Hoard moved to make it conforming but ran into opposition from lhc rale- payers who objected to Ihe possibility of a sawmill, which would have been allowed with industrial rezoning. The Regional Board then. alter an initial public hearing, moved lo create a new zoning which would allow the logging company lo have an ollice ai iheir prescnl logging operation bul nol a sawmill. Again. Ihere was ,i public meeting bin lhc ratepayers were slill nol satisfied with iln. proposed change of the area from Residential 2 lo Indus, trial 5 lo allow the construction of an office on lhc siie. Al lhal lime Director Lee supported the Jackson Bros. proposal. 'The second public hearing was negated when Mike Jackson was allowed to address the Regional Board alter thc public hearing. The most recent setback came when Victoria requested changes iu the by-law, necessitating a third public meeting. Al Ihe November 16 meeting Ihe by-law was ready for final approval until Director Lee said lhal there may Ik legal ramifications and requested thai il hc again tabled.

Ferry failure A possibly-dangerous situation was averted on Saturday morning when a diver al lhc Langdale Ferry Terminal discovered lhal lhc rudder of lhc Queen of New Westminster was coming loose. Operators of lhc ferry had noticed a certain amount of sloppiness in lhc handling of lhc big vessel in lhc (lays preceding lhc discovery of Ihe rudder problem.

Advertising Department: Penny Christian Involvement and the budget It seems here that lhal was a regrettable decision the outgoing School Board made against allowing community in- volvemcnl into Ihe process of hiring administrators. School Trustees Precesky, Frizzell and Spiekermann are lo be commended for their vote in favour of more community involvement. Il is bard to see much to commend the stance of the other four trustees who defeated the motion. Generally speaking, the public schools are arenas in modern society where thc democratic judgement is most feared. The entire hierarchic arrangement of schools indicates a distrust of lemoc- racy. The overblown position accorded to administrators generally, who are not first among equals but the unchallenged and unchallengeable font of all power and educational wisdom, is an undemocratic distortion. It remains true that the main thrust of most administrators' learning has been how to administer. For one reason or another they have been men who decided not lo stay iu the classroom and why that should justify the large salary differentials they enjoy over those who do the actual teaching must be something ofa mystery. The move by the local School Board away from community involvement is lhc more to be regretted when one compares the School Board Budget with its equivalent just five years ago. Five years ago thc provisional budget for this School District was under two and three- quarter million dollars. For next year it is almost six million dollars. That is an increase of well over 100% in five years and the School Board is moving in the direction of less community involvement. "Leave us alone, we know what we are doing." they would seem to say. Not everyone is convinced. Is this really necessary? The resignation of Director Charles Lee from the Recreation Committee conies as no surprise. Director Lee has made it clear throughout thc exercise that he had serious misgivings about the advisability of the region's recreation package which thc provincial government recently put on the back burner. Director Lee has gone on record again and again as being an advocate of fiscal restraint and certainly it is a position which would seem both justifiable and tenable and his espousal of it does him no discredit whatsoever. At every level of government it would be desirable to have a zealous watchdog to ensure that Ihe mis-spending of public monies bc kept to un absolute minimum. While it is possible to grant Director Lee the validity of his basic position and lo applaud the zeal with which he maintains it, one must object, it would seem, lo some of his comments in resigning from the recreation committee. Director Lee's claim that there was "complete irresponsibility and culpable negligence" in the preparation of the recreation referendum would seem to do a considerable injustice lo public-minded citizens throughout the regional district who worked for three years planning the recreational package. Surely it is possible for lhc director lo disagree with these people without uttering blanket condemnations of mass irresponsibility and negligence. Similarly, in the case of the rezoning of the Jackson Bros, property which is in Mr. Lee's area it should be possible for the director to change his mind without the rather snide insinuations of incompetence that he apparently feels rbliged to make to justify his new stance ��� the incompetence of others of course. A few months ago thc director was filling the newspapers with condemnations of the ratepayers of Tuwanek because many of them he found were not on the Voters' List. He could not support them in consequence, he told us. Now he can, apparently, but he cannot change his mind without melodramatic intimations of legal action by the ratepayers ��� though there is nothing now new in that ��� and again a somewhat contemptuous inference of incompetence on the part of others. It is said that Director Lee has aspirations towards the chairmanship of the Regional Board and the directors would do well to consider very carefully before they allow that to happen, lt seems from this vantage point that the public and individualistic fulminations of thc Director from Area 'C have done more to raise doubts in the mind of the public about thc Regional Board lhan any other single factor this year. The position of chairman would seem to require more diplomatic skills and a better sense of teamwork than Director Lee seems to possess. . .from the files of Coast News IU*? a*C^,��, Sl aKtoll 5 YEARS AGO Larry Labonte" is elected Mayor of Gibsons in the municipal elections held on the weekend.

Those who can't, teach." When I went to teacher's college almost twenty years ago we had a refinement on that saying. "Those who can't teach, teach teachers," and truly the staff of Macdonald College Teaching Division seemed to be mostly rejects from the public school system who had found themselves unable to stand the gaff in the classroom and had taken refuge in thc theory of teaching. For the most part they brought with them whatever foibles and failings had made them inept in the classroom in thc first place. There was the spinster lady who taught Teaching Methods and stressed thc importance of establishing eye contact with your class, all lhc while addressing her every remark to the junction of Ihe wall and the ceiling behind our heads; there was Ihe homosexual professor of French wilh a penchant for individual interviews in his office that mosl of lhc young men Hied lo avoid. Perhaps Ihe saddest and most interesting of these failed teachers leaching teachers bow to teach was a huge old man called Dr. A.B. Curry who had come the other way to teaching college. Hc had been a professor al McGill University, of philosophy one would gather, and rumour had it thai lie had been demoted to the teaching college on the west end of Montreal Island because his students had complained incessantly that his ieclures were totally incomprehensible. Certainly they were incomprehensible io us. It wasn't thai thc weirds he used were unfamiliar. They were not, but somehow Ihe sense escaped us. What made it the more irritating was lhal Ihe old man oozed presence and a sense of drama. One had the feeling that if one could only penetrate one would be truly enriched. Al thai time I could take Pitman shorthand al lightning speed and once I actually took down every word, typed the lecture out, and tried by studying the whole filing to achieve some small enlightenment, Il defeated me entirely. Almost twenty years ago, t when I was in teaching college there was a great dearth of teachers. The class I attended was called Class 2S and it was designed to rush teachers into the breach with a total of two years university training and many of thc members of the class were as strange as the professors. There were failed credit managers, burnt-out actors with their memory gone, misfits of a wide variety trying to latch on to the security of a teacher's certificate. The hodge-podge that we were, we were electrified one day towards the end of the History of Education course that Dr. Curry taught when he stormed into thc classroom with his portable lectern on thc desk, put down the briefcase without opening it and spoke directly to us aboul thc real world: "Thc other day," hc said leaning back on lhc ledge of the blackboard with his tongue in his check ��� obviously something important was coming ��� "I was walking down a railway platform," ��� he leaned forward on the lectern for emphasis ��� "and I passed a bunch of workmen. One said lo the other," ��� here he paused in an electric silence ��� "Vou be Clod today, YOU BE GOD TODAY". We sal transfixed by the old man's intensity and the novelty of communication. Harold Hamwee was a member of Ihe class, spiky greying hair, great dramatic eyes. Hc had been a professional actor and had toured North America in some quality productions but he had an ulcer now and his memory wouldn't work. What hadn't deserted him was his timing and his sense of the dramatic and into thc electric hush in a magnificent stage whisper hc breathed in outrage. "Blasphemy!" "Yes, YES," said the old man at the front of the room, galvanized into quavering affirmation, one hand reached oul towards Hamwee in dramatic linkage. Never was a cue given or taken better on any stage. We were enthralled even if we weren't sure why. Of course Ihere was an anti-climax, provided on this occasion by a middle-aged fellow called Gene Herman who was a man of truly remarkable menial dimness who persevered and became an administrator. He rubbed his hand thoughtfully over his crew cut and said, "Well, hc just meant you be the boss." "Arc you serious?" demanded Curry but the class had found relief in laughter experts eviscerated birds and and the moment was lost. read thc entrails or rolled bits I became obsessed with Dr. of bone to assess the future. Curry. I was convinced that if These days, on much less I could only just breach his reliable evidence, anyone with Following any election, thc pundits and analysts arc quick to point out trends and political movements particularly if such changes can bc expressed in terms of the "right" or "left". The so- called experts arc also most enthusiastic if they can interpret such movements as being signs of political collapse. In the old davs. these Olympic detachment I would learn greal things. I discovered that the old man was a devout Baptist and thought I could reach him. 1 went up lo him one day after class as he collected his lectern and his briefcase and I said, in my most winning way, "Dr. Curry, I went to a Unitarian service yesterday and I must couvcr Civic elections confess it was thc most week for instance; lhc any kind of opinion at all, informed or uninformed, is ready lo predict thc imminent collapse of western civilization on the outcome of the civic election in Port Moody or the School Board election in Rock Creek. satisfying experience I have ever had in a church." Surely the old Baptist would be stung into reply. He was about six feet, six inches tall and. with his lectern under his arm, he looked down al me indul- gcntly-and said, "As long as it sustains you, my boy," and turned on bis heel and moved majestically away. So much for my cleverness. Years later, after I was a teacher, I caughi the afternoon bus from Ihe west end of the island where I taught, going into lhc city and there was Dr. A.B.Curry going home. He was hunched uncomfortably into the constricting bus scat. Around him on every side were French- Canadian charladies homeward-bound to thc city after cleaning the homes of the wealthy west-endcrs. They spoke rapidly and animatedly in joual and the lonely old man Take thc results of lhc Van- last T.V. and radio analysts (mercifully Ihe newspaper strike lias spared us such nonsense in print) unanimously decried Ihe re-election of Mayor Volrich. Volrich and his crew, who were elected by substantial margins over Iheir TEAM and COPE rivals, arc clearly representative of a conservative, thrifty and unimaginative approach to municipal affairs. To suggest however, as ihe experts have, thai Ibis approach to civic governmeni is somehow backward is clearly going beyond the bounds of fair editorial comment, First of all, il is reasonable thai municipal government ought to reflect some of the most immediate and "close- to-home" concerns of the voter and taxpayer. Home owners, faced with rising taxes and bureaucratic interference from Iheir local government arc bound to react bv grcssivc act, it was a clear, responsible, reasonable and predictable act of a people re-asserting their independence from governmental harassment. By casting a ballot for Volrich these voters were nol supporting the re-instatcment of capilal punishment or a return to workhouses for thc poor; or supporting a law which would encourage the stoning of homosexuals, or clamoring for the repeal of the income tax. No, they were simply staling a fact of Canadian life; that a person's home ought to be inviolate from the exigencies of an unpredictable municipal government. Another aspect of elections often overlooked by the experts is that often the most apparently inept of successful candidates will prove to be thc most useful vvhen in office. In the case of Mayor Volrich Ihis lias nol proven to bc true but there arc many examples from popes and American presidents to mayors and school trustees. The fact is that in many more cases lhan nol, the office makes Ihe man or woman rather lhan thc other way around. Anyone who has ever actively participated in a political campaign whether 'federal, provincial or local, can tell you lhal when you work very hard lo have a particular candidate of your choice elected the likelihood is that hc will bc a terrible disappointment or worse. A couple of weeks ago a certain very liny local writer suggested his disappointment that the school board seals to be filled in our area had gone uncontested. His clear inference was that two of the winners by acclaimation, Al Lloyd and Len Van Egmond, were perhaps not as nothing as much as an ancient and dignified lion alone among the jackals. . , . ���, . , , ,. ., . , - progressive as might bc.

It would be appreciated if the following facts were made apparent to the public. At approximately 1:15 a.m. on November 11, Gibsons Volunteer Fire Department received a call from a Mrs. Hanson stating her house was on fire on Aldcrshaw Road, not Oldershaw Road as you reported in your article. The alarm was immediately sounded and il was then discovered thai wc did nol have an Aldcrshaw Road in our district, only an Alderspring Road, so Ihe Fire Trucks were dispatched to Alderspring Road. Al this poinl another call was received regarding the fire and it was then reported as Oldershaw Road, which of course is in Roberts Creek. The caller was informed she should be calling Roberts (reek lire Department instead of Gibsons. The trucks i n route to Aider- spring Road were informed of the error and turned back, and (hc Roberts (reck Fire Department was called and informed of ihe fire, These above mentioned events happened very quickly in succession, all within a very few minutes I mention this fact as your article may possibly cause an unaware reader lo wonder jusl how much time il took lo rectify thc error. Unfortunately in the case of fire or any emergency, time is of lhc essence and it is indeed unfortunate that the Hanson family did not know they were in thc Roberts Creek Fire Protection District and in turn called the wrong Fire Department. May I take this opportunity to stress thc importance to thc public of knowing the correct emergency numbers pertaining to thc area they reside in and keeping a list of them in a prominent place near their telephone. It is also mosl important, in the event of an emergency, to give clear and concise road names and directions to enable the emergency vehicles to respond quickly.

I head over In their cabin around dusk. having been asked to supper again earlier in the week. To my surprise. Jane and the kids are alone, "Where's Matt?" 1 ask. "Oh, he's gone up the Inlet for a couple of days." she says casually. "He's jusl about finished here and thev needed a bit of falling done up al Halderson's camp, tailed hiai this morning on lhc radiophone. Said for you ami me In have supper anyhow, Co ahead and sil down. I'll gel you a glass ol wine, ll's jusl about ready." She brings ihe wine and hands it to me wiih a theatrical little llourish. "Vour health, sir!" she says. Jane's obviously been making a lew loasis prior lo my arrival. \v usual, her appearance is scrupulously neal bul she's wearing a dress I've never seen before ��� a satiny, off- I lie-shoulder affair that clings i" her when she walks. I guess my eyes are bugging out a bit.i "Like my dress?" she asks tinocently. "This is lhc one I uted to wear dancing in ihe old days. Gacss it's a hit oul of fashion bill I figured I'd makcbelievc I was back in \ ancouverjusl for tonight." "No, it looks real tine," I say, trying to sound offhand. Hell, after six-months nl bunkhouse pin-ups. il looks .i whole lot heller than fine. I hen her kids come burst- ing from thc bedroom to ply me with questions and put ihiugs back in perspective I nr ihe moment. Supper is negotiated sue- .essl'ully to the accompani- 1111 ni of more wine. Afterwards, I'help her dry the dishes arJH then she shoos [lie kids a)ti lo bed. "Let's si c if (lire's any decent music on this damn radio," CLASSIFIED NOTE Drop off your Coasl News Classifieds at Campbell's Famlly Shoes & Leather Goodt In down-towa Sechelt. Pages from a Life-Log Peter Trower says Jane. She fiddles with the dial and comes up with a disc-jockey who's playing some pretty tasty jazz. Thc music floods through Ihe drab living-room she's tried in enliven with a couple of pictures; a few ornaments. "You're My Thrill" sings Billy Holiday with lhal ineffable poignance that sends shivers through me even then. And suddenly, qulte-spon- lancouslv. we're dancing ��� swaying together in thc warmth of the wine to the bittersweet moan of the song. She's a much-better dancer lhan I bul I can muddle Ihruugh on slow-pieces like this. I've never been this close to Jane before and I'm very conscious of her proximity, her perfume; Ihe pressure of her full-bosomed body against mine. For a moment, I can almost imagine we're in a dance-hall someplace instead of a floating gyppocamp shanty at the tail-end of nowhere. Thc plaintive ballad ends and an uptempo number conies on. Jane and I sit down on thc couch. My emotions are a confused jumble of desire and guilt. Christ, she's Matt's wife! But it's sure as hell hard to remember that tonight. I don't know what Jane's thinking but she seems to sense my confusion. "Looks like, we could both use a refill," she says and fetches the resl of the wine. Then she begins to talk about the city again but in a much more open way from vvhen Matt's around. "I was never cut out to live in a damn place like Ihis! God, I was always one for ihe nightlife and high times. Used to work in a beauty-parlour and I figured to start up my own shop eventually. Knew several fellows bul I wasn't serious about any of Ihem. I was just having myself a ball. Then 1 met Matt at a party one winter. Hc was quiet and different. Treated me like 1 was someone really special. He- sort of grew on me and I fell for him pretty hard. Well one tiling led to another. I gol pregnant and he offered to make it legal. Said he'd quit the woods and gel a job in Vancouver. Course it never worked oul lhal way. Here il is over five years later and we're still living in bloody logging-camps. Mall's a kind guy and a good father to the kids bul we don't have much in common when you come righl down to it. I guess you'd have to call him dull. And he's not very romantic either, if you gct what I mean. Honest to God, I get so bored and lonely sometimes, 1 think I'm going out of my mind!" I've never had an older woman unburden herself like this to me before. I really don't know what to do beyond offering my useless sympathy. Somehow my arm's around her, her head's against my shoulder and she's sobbing softly. All at once, she stops and looks at me in a desperate way. Then she kisses mc more passionately than I've ever imagined being kissed before. It's as though a dam has suddenly broken in Jane and I've become the focus of all her thwarted longings. Her tongue explores my mouth like a wet snake. Her warm arms are around me. She's sweeping me away with her. beyond agc-differ- enecs and thoughts of disaster. I warm to her ardent attack; caress her with inexperienced hands. Soon, we're lying full-length on the couch with nature well on the way to taking its course. Suddenly; awfully; unexpectedly, we hear heavy foot steps on the front-porch. "Oh, Jesus Christ!" gasps Jane in horror as wc pull ourselves apart und attempt to straighten our clothes, "hc must have got finished early!" I'm too goddamn seared to speak or even think. I've heard of men getting shot in situations like this. Thc door opens and Matt comes in. He eyes us calmly with no particular expression, Ihe way hc might size up the lean of a tree. There can't be any doubt in his mind as to what's been going on ��� our rumpled appearance must speak for itself ��� and yet he deigns not to comment. "Starling to snow," is all hc says and walks right by us into the kilchen. My initial craven inclination is to get the hell out of there but 1 figure that'll make things look even worse. I force myself to sit pul for a token ten minutes or so, shaking in my shoes. Jane's pulled herself together and is in thc kitchen fixing something to cat for thc ominously-silent Matt. Finally, 1 mumble a guilty goodnight and head for the door. I hope Matt won't beat Jane up or anything but somehow, I don't think he will. He's too close to losing her as it is. He's thc kind of quiet guy who'll bury his hurt and carry it deep. But if nothing else happens, it's effectively put an end to my relationship with Jane. I decide the best I can do under the circumstances is quit but it snows all night and the next day, Fanny shuts the camp down anyhow. "Come on back after Christmas," she says to me in her bluff way and I say maybe I will, knowing full well I won't. I wonder sadly what will become of Jane. Some women just aren't cut out to be loggers' wives. Years later. I think I sec her from a bus- window, walking happily along the street with a different, younger man but I'm never sure.

The disc-jockey in question is the famous Wolfman Jack who plays himself in American Graffiti, which will be shown at thc local theatre Wednesday through Saturday, November 22���25. The film will bc shown at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday and at 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Wolfman Jack began in 1956 as a teenager and became one of the radio legends of that decade. Lately he has become highly visible as the co-host of T.V.'s weekly "Midnight Special" reaching an estimated 15 million view ers per week. Big Wednesday is the second feature of the week and stars, among others, Gary Buscy most recently seen as Buddy Holly. His co-stars in Big Wednesday are Jan- Michael Vincent, William Katt, with Katt's mother Barbara Hale prominent in the featured cast. The first half of the film is devoted to thc hedonistic pleasures of the three leads and their pals but the second half of the movie is serious and reflective, even touching. Throughout the story there are breathtaking shots of master surfers riding giant waves as casually as crossing a street. Big Wednesday will bc shown locally Sunday through Tuesday, November 26���28. Cultural Evening By Kelly Malngot On Sunday, November 12, our group put on a culture show at Elphinstone Secondary School. We had all been assigned different tasks in preparation for the evening. Everything was ready by 7:30, when our guests began to arrive. Our foster-families, the people from our work placements and a few others from the community had been invited. There was a display of Indonesian materials and pictures, with punch to start the evening off. At 8:00, wc began with a fashion show. The Indonesians were each dressed in their own traditional costumes from North and South Sumatra, Java, Lom- bok, Sulawesi and Irian Jaya. There were two solo dances, the Batik Dance and thc Nail Dance, and two solo songs in Indonesian. Our whole group joined in to sing more Indonesian songs and three French-Canadian songs. We had two group dances at the end, Kuala Deli and Jali- Jali, when everyone could participate. There were also souvenirs presented to the people from our work placements and one to the mayor for the community. After the show, we had a buffet-style meal with nasi (rice), soto ayam (chicken soup), gado-gado (salad with spicy peanut sauce), oseng- oseng (vegetable dish), pisang goreng (fried bananas) and also deserts provided by our foster-families. We all had a great time arranging and putting on the culture show and were glad so many people came. We would like to thank everyone for helping to make it a success. We hope everyone had a good time! (TWILIGHT ^THEATRE? GIBSONS Sun., Mon. & Tues. Nov. 26,27 &28 8 p.m. Gary Busey who played Buddy Holly in the Buddy Holly Story By Rae Ellingham Week Commencing: November 20. General Notes: Mars, planet of action, conjoins Neptune, planet of confusion, warning us to double- check all details of this week's activities. Muddle and deception are in the air. It's a poor time to start new projects or ventures. Things will seem clearer next week so bc patient and wait. Babies born this week will act on inner beliefs and personal convictions. Many will show interest in religion, higher learning, philosophy and long-distance travel. A few will become priests or professors. Those of you born around March 3, June 3. September 5, or December 5 must show courage during ihis time of frustration and delay. Brighter months lie ahead. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Accent is on practising what you preach. You're now expected to back up beliefs with action. Hypocrites will bc exposed. Mean what you say and do what you promised. Messages from far away are confusing. Postpone long journeys till next week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Loved-one's financial department hints of misguided activities. Answer is fewer excuses and more effective planning. It's the wrong time to beg or borrow cash or equipment. Put aside documents related to tax. insurance, investment or other people's money. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You're now easily influenced by the actions of close associates. Be careful. Focus is on plots, treachery and hidden competitors working against you. Be cautious about that near-perfect relationship. Act wisely and alone. Sign no agreements or contracts. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Emphasis is on health and employment. Co-workers may be confused, touchy or quarrelsome. It's no time to introduce new ideas, methods or techniques. Illnesses may bc linked to overwork, worry or poisons. Careless use of medications, drugs or alcohol now brings bad reactions. LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Accent is on social activities, pleasures and amusements. You realize that pretending to have a good time is a waste of money. Lessons are learned through hasty specu lation and rash love affairs. Artists should harness inspiration while it lasts. Children may bc dishonest, sneak v. VIRGO (A'ug.23-Sept.22J Focus is on domestic environment. Temptation is to rush into ill-planned jobs on thc home front. Great ideas need careful approach. Check for leaking oil, gases or inflammable substances. Put aside real estate, rental or land agreements. Emotional outbursts may be linked to stubborn parents. LIBRA (Scpl.23-Ocl.23) Accent is on menial framework and day-to-day thinking. Fiery inspiration now produces enthusiastic or argumentative conversations. Remember, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything al all. Corny, but true. Short journeys see you lost, missing short-cuts and travelling in circles. SCORPIO (Ocl.24-Nov.22) Advice is to keep your eye on your money. Check financial transactions for short change, deception or trickery. Take your lime choosing expensive items. Don'i become mesmerized by smooth- talking sales-persons. Guard all possessions against theft or loss. SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23- Dcc.21) Don't rush into things. Actions may be based on hazy ideas or impulse. Slow down and lake stock of progress. Others are finding you idealistic, confused and moody. Opportunities are linked to long-distance message. CAPRICORN (Dcc.22-Jan.19) Slop snivelling over your own problems. Now's thc time to work without reward or do favours for those confined to home or hospital. Stay away from gossip-mongers or people who seek revenge. Have nothing to do with dishonest schemes. AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb. 18) Clubs, societies, and group endeavours hint of uncertainty, confusion and impractical ventures. Friends and acquaintances may also surprise you with ill-conceived actions. Now's the time to sift out disreputable associates. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar.20) Conduct your personal affairs with honesty and integrity. Someone out there may be scheming to undermine your reputation. Have impeccable proof ready. Don't promote position, career or achievements. Lie low and wait. Whitaker House The fate of Whitaker House is becoming increasingly uncertain. Olaf Wallander made a presentation to the Sechelt Council last week in which he offered the house to the Village as a museum. The house, if not moved, is due for demolition. Being one of the last remaining historic buildings in the area, it is fell by many that it should bc saved as a reminder of thc village heritage. With this in mind, Wallander has been trying to have thc building moved to another location and renovated. This was to have been done by lhc Sechelt Lions Club and thc building was to bc made available to bona fide organizations in the community. After the difficulties encountered in trying to locate the house on Hackett Park, the Lions realized that they may have to purchase a lot and this plus thc expense of moving the structure was felt to be oul of their range. The same situation applied to thc Village Council. They thanked Mr. Wallander for his offer, but they hud to decline "Al a Regional Board meeting on Thursday evening, it wus moved thai plans of the house bc drawn up in case, at some future date, it was decided thai u replica should bc built. THE BEACH COMBER MOTOR INN DINING ROOM IS NOW OPEN 4p.m. to 9p.m. The IBeach Comber Motor Inn Book Review A glimpse of the future By John Moore Looking over the newsstand of late, you may have noticed the appearance of a magazine called Seriatim. It's not exactly new; the current issue 1 have is thc eighth and it's a quarterly, so that would mukc it exactly two years old. Thc growth of its circulation seems to be as gradual and persistent as the growth of the movements it represents. Seriatim bills itself as "A Journal of Ecotopia". "Ecotopla", for those unfamiliar with Ernest Cullcnbach's novel of the same name, is a compound of "ecology" and "Utopia" and describes, according to the editors of the magazine, "A region lying along the northwestern edge of the American continent, Stretching north from San Francisco lo Vancouver, and west from Ihe Sierras and Cascades lo thc Pacific, an environmentally-attuned, stable-society is emerging. Formerly thought to exist only in the imagination or in thc future, Ecotopia exists here and now as an infant society; as a succession of forest growing towards climax from a thousand clearings." Lyricism aside, staff-writer Bob Kohl puts it more succinctly: "During Ihe sixties my generation was heavily involved in protesting Ihe status quo. Some of our more thoughtful critics suggested that our protest would guin more credence if we were to offer alternatives instead of just complaining about thc way things were. Thc seventies saw us hitching up our jeans, tying back our buir and really yelling down lo experimenting with some of these alternatives." Seriatim is an tip- dale report on thc progress of those experiments. The articles are grouped under headings: "Experiments in Living", "Alternative Technology", "Agriculture", "Well Being", "Transport", etc. The subjects inevitably overlup to a point, but that seems to be part of Ihe plan; to present an integrated picture of thc wide range of experiments in alternative modes of living. The "Experiments in Living" section contains long articles on Sunburst Farms, a Santa Barbara based conglomerate of four communal farms that is thc backbone of a very successful line of health- food products; Sunburst Natural Foods. Sunburst Farm corresponds to most peoples' idea of a commune; rural, agricultural, its inhabitants living lives of material simplicity and obedience to a code of ethics derived from fundamental Christianity, Buddhism and Yoga. Cerro Gordo, also the subject of a Seriatim article, is a slightly different kind of "intentional" or Utopian community, located in a rural environment near Cottage Grove, Oregon, but not oriented specifically toward agricultural or pastoral activity. The ideal of Cerro Gordo is to create a "village community which, with careful town planning, a fixed population ceiling, a thorough recycling system, and an organization that is co-operative rather than strictly communal, may offer a creative alternative to thc sterile suburbs we have thus far produced. Under the "Experiments in Living" heading there's also a long review of Seven American Utopias! The Architecture of Communitarian Socialism 1790���1975. Thc book is a dissertation on thc psychology of Architecture itself and on thc history of Utopian communities in thc U.S. The "Experiments in Living" material naturally links up with articles from thc other sections, like the one on "Urban Homesteading", particularly interesting since a number of governments, including our own, are beginning to get interested in the possibilities of urban agriculture, rooftop farms, etc., now that we've paved enough of the hinterlands of our cities to seriously imperil their ability to sustain themselves. There are tips on buying land for rookies heading for greener pastures and reviews of the best books on farming for beginners. The magazine is a good "source of sources" carrying reviews of books on alternative energy sources and electric vehicle development as well. One of the articles I found most interesting was the article on "Eco- topian plastics", plastics that lack the one great disadvantage of the stuff we're so used to, inasmuch as they're actually biodegrade- able. The trick is a process by which starches derived from corn or tapioca are combined with plastic. The resulting compound doesn't react to water alone, but prolonged contact with the soil causes the starches to break down into humus. Since starch from any plant can be used, starch from nonedible sources can be substituted so as not to divert potential food into plastic. Overall, thc best thing about Seriatim is that it brings together information on thc progress of widely diverse experiments in alternative living, lt enables people interested or engaged in these experiments to profit by the exchange of information. When the youthful critics of thc sixties stopped sounding off and started getting down to business, a lot of them found that coming up with alternatives to the things they criticized was damn hard work. Some got their hair styled, traded in their coveralls on sparkle T-shirts, and started humming disco tunes instead of shouting slogans. The ones who remained committed have been too busy struggling to transform their dreams into viable realities to make much noise, so it was easy to think they'd all just faded away. Seriatim makes it plain that they haven't. In a world that has teetered on the brink of total destruction for more than two decades, they're out there working to create a future not only for mankind but for the entire planet as well. Thc survival of both may to no small extent depend on the success or failure of some of the experiments covered by Seriatim. At $2.50 a crack it's a bargain for a glimpse into the possible future. If you're interested in Seriatim as a potential contributor, advertiser or subscriber, you can contact Paul Handshy at 886-7979.

Volleyball, set to a jazz background and scenes of excitement, provides thrills of championship volleyball between teams from Russia and the U.S.A. lt is thc only black and white film of thc evening und the choreo graphy of ihe participants' play-by-play movements makes this film one of universal appeal.

ESSO ECONOBLUE: 1W WW U1TLE FURNACE THAT CAN SAME A LOT Of FUEL The new Esso Econoblue takes up only 3'/2 square feet of floor space. Yet it is designed for maximum fuel economy. This oil-fired, forced air system uses a better mixture of air and oil vapour for more complete combustion. And because the mixture- is also recycled, you get more heat out of every drop of oil. If your old furnace works at 66% efficiency, for example, Econoblue could reduce oil consumption by 20%. This means if you now use 750 gallons of fuel a year, Econoblue could save you 150 gallons. So, if your furnace has been showing signs of age lately, don't wait until it gives up altogether. Call Esso Home Comfort. The sooner you do, the sooner you'll start saving fuel.

Besides its obvious meaning of "creating again", it also means "Refreshing of the strength and spirit after toil", "Giving new vigour and animation", "Diverting, amusing", "Giving relief after labour or pain", "Entertaining". Recreation: the light and happy bits that help us get through the hard parts; the pleasures that sustain us. And we have so many choices. For the "diversion and amusement" of all of us, several special events will take place in the coming weeks which will undoubtedly "refresh the strength and spirit" if only given a chance. One is ihe Vuricty Night of comedy, music, dunce, melodrama, tragedy and romance being sponsored by thc Arts Council on December I. Undoubtedly worth both seeing and supporting. Another treat being offered us is "Thc MIME Show", an opportunity to enjoy marvelous acting and antics without words by mime artists Gerardo Avila and Patricia Smith, newly returned from studying their art in Europe. Performances will be in Sechelt on November 26, and in Gibsons on December 2. We are fortunate to have so many talented local people willing to perform for our entertainment. By attending the performances one may discover a whole new area of recreation, all the more enjoyable for being unfamiliar and unexpected.

Rail- ��� i -- an incentive to per- suae!, settlers to remain in and cope vs.i111 life in lhc rural wesl. The differences in radio in Britain and Ihe U.S. can apparently bc traced back to those early days when the manufacturers of radio sets in Britain turned to lhc educators to provide programming and thus encourage people to buy radios, while in the U.S. the manufacturers became thc entrepreneurs who also ran the radio stations. I hey were also at first very higlimindcd with good intentions to use Ihe airwaves as a resource lo serve society. The dignity ol the home was very close to the hearts of Vmerieans so anything entcr- ing lhal home was sacred and good I.isle ��as of paramount importance. No commercial messages were allowed on Suiiilav s. Ihere was a strong move ui ihe early Thirties, debated loi Iwo years in Congress, for au American equivalent lo ilu B.B.C. but radio was already a lucrative business and the 193-1 Communications Acl steered clear of any government involvement. Thc free enterprise, commercial system was however required to provide both programming in ihe public interest and educational programming as well as entertainment, Ihe debali was resumed al lhc end of lhc war but by liiis time educational programming had been pushed back to Sundays and late evening hours and Ihe balance of programming had been lost. There was a strong feeling of national identity and no v ish to become B.H.C.-izcd. ( ongress did. however, with ihe advent ol television, set aside frequencies for noncommercial television, bin ihese ueie on the UHF band, not accommodated by mosl manufacturers of T.V. sets oiil also lint were not lai -sighl d liougll to provide anv funding in.'s. school boards and small non -profit organizations struggled against (lo- II odd's Children's Wear mt.JUP.MEL lialh odds lo sustain Ihe audience for quality programming. In I960Ihe Ford Foundation paved the way and was followed by other private sources lo make money available for both capital costs and programming. But Public Broadcasting was still a shoestring operation, a sniall number of independent tiny stations scattered around thc country. The 1967 Broadcasting Act sei up the Public Broadcasing Corporation to integrate these stations and dispense funds and the Government would match public subscription on a dollar to each Iwo dollars raised each year. In 1972 Nixon vetoed the bill which would have funded PBS ou a two-year appropriation giving them some small measure of security from which to plan. In 1978 things arc looking up for PBS across lhc country. First of all, more and more Americans are watching their Public Broadcasting Stations and ihis support has led to an increase in governmeni funding over a three-year period and an increase in thc government's share to an equal dollar for dollar appropriation. Seattle's K.C.T.S. is different from thc C.B.C. in that it is an autonomous station within the Public Broad- easting framework, a station which can produce as much or as little of its own programming as it wishes or can afford; which can share its programmes with its sister stations across the nations; and in turn use programmes made by them. K.C.T.S. has evolved from a community slalion lo one which reflects Ihe whole Pacific Northwest. The University of Washington holds Ihe license as a trustee for the community. Because of direct audience support and commitment ihere is a high degree of audience involvement in lhc station and the professionals employed work closely with their audience. Dr. Meyer n">de no apology for providing an outlet for the work of independent Canadian film producers and these of the National Film Board . Many of those attending the Conference were freelance film makers seeking an explanation as to why the C.B.C. will not accept their work when it is of high enough quality to be accepted by K.C.T.S. That of course is an issue which is important to all of us as Canadians and is to a great extent inherent to our Canadian Broadcasting system and its centralized organization. It did seem to me that pertinent question to ask was. if K.C.T.S. is going to fill the slot which the C.B.C. should rightly be filling for Canadians and thus attracting more and more Canadian viewers, will we continue to need the C.B.C?

Hydro chairman Robert Bonner has already gone on lo bigger and better things and is now advocating nuclear power plants for the province. It seems ironic that while B.C. Hydro pretends to listen to the requests of people in Ihis area when we ask them to seriously consider alternative sources of power such as wood waste, coal, solar or natural gas, in reality they are already committed to massive energy projects such as nuclear power plants.

Above we see the results. In the top picture, assistant Haroon Rahiman breaks a concrete slab with a sledge hammer on the unsupported stomach of Crawshaw. In the bottom picture Crawshaw breaks eight concrete slabs with his hand. Pub turned down The application by Maurice Green of Irvings Landing Marina for a neighbourhood pub on his premises was turned down at the Regional Board Meeting held on November 16 after Area 'A' Regional Director Joe Harrison advised the Board lhal a clear majority of the members of the public who had attended a public meeting on October 2l) had been opposed to the granting of a licence. Green told the public meeting lhal he would, if grained lhc licence, restrict its use to thc tourist season from Easter to Labour Day. Hc said that he had received approval to extend his water lot to allow him to enlarge the current moorage facilities. Most members of lhc public who spoke against thc application were concerned about increased litter and noise. During the recent cold spell, there have been several minor accidents. They have been attributed to black ice on thc highway. The one month's amnesty for unregistered firearms is still in effect. To date, one unwanted weapon has been turned into thc R.C.M.P. in Sechelt for disposal. Sechelt lo Earls Cove: November 11: While assisting police at Davis Bay, a man lost $70 in cash from his pocket. Black ice caused a vehicle to leave the road near Ruby Lake. $500 in damage resulted. Richard Conkin swerved to miss a deer on Ihe Garden Bay Road. His ear ended up in the ditch, causing $250 damage to the vehicle. November 12: A woman had $400 in clothing stolen from thc Sechelt Laundromat. November 13: A 1975 Honda and a 1%7 pickup collided near Davis Bay, causing $2,700 in damages. The driver of thc Honda was charged with making an unsafe left turn. A residence in Selma Park was broken into. A framing hammer, two axes, rain gear, a red metal tackle box, a fishing knife and assorted pots and pans were taken. Police feci thai the property- could only bc reached by a four-wheel drive. Two juveniles were apprehended for driving erratically in downtown Sechelt. On investigation it was found that the youths had thc vehicle without the consent of their parents. No theft charges will be laid, however R.C.M.P. are considering charging one of the youths under the Motor Vehicle Act. November IS: A woman on Mermaid Street reported that sometime during thc night, ihree pairs of underwear were stolen from her clothesline. November 16: Tire slashing was reported on thc Indian Land in Sechelt. A yellow pickup was left parked on Redrooffs Road after running out of gas. When the owner returned, thc driver's mirror and window had been kicked out. November 17: An elderly woman reported that she was missing four rings. A gold wedding band with three diamonds; a gold ring with three red stones inset; an engagement ring with garnets and pearls; and a gold band with an aquamarine stone. Julie Southurst of Garden Bay lost control of her vehicle on black ice. In thc accident the windshield popped out and one window broke. Gibsons Area: It was a quiet week in Gibsons. A boat on Keats Island was broken into. $300 in fishing gear was taken. B.C.Hydro reported that vandals have been shooting oul the insulators on the lines at Wharf Road in Langdale. Lasl week Mr. Bonner said thai B.C. Hydro will have to start construction of a nuclear power plant within ten years. He dismissed those of us who advocate the use of soft energy technologies by saving, "ihcy don'i have the big- ticket answer to see us through." And .villi typical B.C. Hydro insensltlvity, he said that nuclear power would be part of B.C.'s energy future whether or nol public opinion favoured it. Once again Hydro has shown thai the concerns of the people for a safe and healthy environment arc nol the concerns of Hydro. No wonder Howard While of lhc Pender Harbour and District Ratepayers Association says that there doesn't seem to bc any way of getting through to Hydro. Even though public outcry to Hydro's massive power projects has been growing consistently louder, there seems to bc no accountability on the part of Hydro for any of ils energy proposals. Hydro's attitude seems to be. "wc arc thc only ones qualified to make decisions regarding energy and we arc not interested in your opinions on the subject." Il is certainly lime that Premier Bennett made certain Ihat Mr. Bonner and B.C. Hydro take an interest in our opinions. As minister of energy, Mr. Bennett has an obligation to ensure thai energy policy in this province reflects thc concerns of thc electorate. Thc recent defeat of Ihe Austrian government on the nuclear power issue is evidence that when people do not want nuclear power, they are prepared to gct rid of any government which tries to force it upon them. We desperately need to have province-wide hearings to allow for public participation in the determination of our future energy policy. promised by thc former minister of energy, .lack Davis, that these hearings would be held, and we arc slill wailing. Until that energy policy has been formulated, with the benefit of public Input, B.C. Hydro should nol be allowed lo proceed with any more massive energy proposals. I have called for a two-year moratorium on the construction of thc Cheekeye- Dunsmuir Iransmission line, and I would like to see sonic of the nearly $400 million earmarked for its construction spent on studies to determine the feasibility of alternative energy projects for this area. Premier Bennett can no longer shirk his responsibility by complaining that B.C. Hydro is out of control. Ultimately, he has control of Hydro and the energy policy of this province and it is time he seriously considers replacing Mr. Bonner wilh someone who will work to sec thai B.C.Hydro becomes responsive to ihe wishes of the citizens of British Columbia. Two hunters found Two Richmond men, Dave Bung and Bill Smith, got separated while hunting in the Secret Cove Area, on Sunday evening, November 12. Bung had a CB. radio with him and put out a call which was picked up by Mr. Hane on Coopers Road. The R.C.M.P. along with a Wildlife officer were able to locale him thai evening. The search for Smilh was delayed by darkness until lhc next morning. Smith built a fire overnight to keep warm, then managed lo walk out to the highway near Middle Point in daylight, where he was picked up by the police. Both men are in good condition.

So far over a third of Ihe industry has fallen under Japanese influence, and there is no sign thai the buyout activity is letting up. Why is Ihis happening'.' Because Japan's government and private sector have shown more foresight towards Canada's sea resources lhan has the Liberal governmeni in Ottawa. Iwo vears ago. (anada. along wiih a number of other countries, extended its coastal sea boundaries to Iwo hundred miles, bin our governmeni did mn follow through on lhc implications of thai move while Japan's did. Il encouraged its private sector lo buy into processing plants and fishing companies worldwide so il could gct around thc new two hundred mile limits. This quest for a guaranteed supply of fish reached righl into Canada's waters. and it has not helped lhc British Columbia economy. Sure, foreigners are buying more Canadian fish than before, but Ihcy arc buying from companies either entirely or substantially owned by overseas interests. That means when lhc fish sail away thc profits go along for the ride. What then gels left behind in Canada? You mighl think lhal all Ihis foreign investment in thc industry would have at Icasl created some jobs. But Ihis is not thc case according to a report issued by Fisheries and Environment Canada. Thc repori. Foreign Investment in the British Columbia Processing Industry, says Ibis: "Whereas ill other industries capilal is welcomed for development, lhc fish processing sector is fully developed al Ihe prescnl lime. Because landings are relatively constant, an increase in processing capacity would have negative implications. Nol onlv would existing processors be threatened, hut overall employment would nol increase tin terms of lime and total wages) and foreign interests would obtain a captive supply of fish for Iheir markets, thus limiting the control Canadians have over their ow II resources." Abend) some of our smaller processors ate running into hard limes. Japanese investors have been competing wilh each oilier right on the docks bv financing cash buyers. This bankrolling may bankrupt small Canadian firms lhal do nol have the massive financial resources of Japanese i ompaiiies. In met I this Japanese competition. Canadian firms suddenly have the need lo raise capilal. Who is ihere lo provide Ihe financing ���Japanese corporations of course. The lull extent of these loans is not known, but one can imagine ihev arc rarely made without conditions.One such deal was detailed in thc Fisheries Canada report.

Gibsons goes 7���0 bill struggled through a slow first half saved by Pat Gaines, kicking, tackling and leading, and Bob Johnson whose dropgoal saved the half in Gibsons favour, 7���4. Memories of two defeats al Eastman's hands last year spurred on a good team effort in the second half. Thc Dully brothers. Ryan Mathews. Gary Fitchell and the pack played well, tough and hard; Bobby Emerson. Frank Havies, and the Rabbit were pounding on the ball and all played well in a team effort thai used size advantage to punish Eastman's players and resulted in four unanswered tries in the second half. U.B.C. is next and Kats after thai. We have the talent in spades ��� a Miles in the lineup and a Crosby at fullback and we may end up Volleyball Due to the large number of people who have been spending Tuesday nights playing Volleyball ill thc gym of Roberts Creek Elemenlary School, some slighl changes have been made in order lo assure everyone lots of playing lime.

Carole Skvtte rolled a four game total of 1026 and that was about it. In the Gibsons 'A' League, Paddy Richardson had a 305 single and Sylvia Bingley had a three game total of 754. In the Wednesday 'Sloughoff League' Dolores O'Donaghev rolled her first 300 game with a 306 single. Lots of 270. 280 and 290 games last week but not many 300's. Maybe we're getting spoiled. I can remember vvhen there might be one or two 300 games rolled in a league for the whole year and now wc expect one or two each week.

Dianne Fitchell and 1 took twelve Y.B.C. bowlers to North Shore Bowl last Sunday and joined them in the Mas- ter-Banter-Jr.-Senior tournament. The teams are made up of two Y.B.C. bowlers and a Master bowler. None of our teams won but we showed them how to roll 300 games. Michele Solinsky rolled a 302 single, Dianne rolled a 304 single, and 1 had a 301 single. Wc bowled pretty well and it gave the kids a little experience bowling in a different house under tournament conditions. At home in the Classic League 300 games were rolled by: Paddy Richardson, a 313 (rolling what we call the Paddy Ball); Ralph Roth, a 301; Freeman Reynolds, a 309; Yours Truly, a 315; and Jeff Mulcaster a 330. Jeff was also high man for the night with a four game total of 1068. Marncy Qually had a 304 single in the Tuesday Coffee League and Diane Strom had a 311 single in the Wednesday Coffee League. Marncy had a 702 triple and Diane a 703 triple. In the Ball and Chain League Andy Seward, who has been bowling for about a year, knocked off a dandy 330 single for his first 300 game and Ralph Roth finished thc week with a 321 game in the Phuntastique Leauge. In the same league Willie Buckmaster had a nice 755 triple topped only by Dianne Fitchcll's 761 triple in the Ball and Chain League. Lots of good games rolled last week. Highest Scores: Classic: Renegades win again Soccer by J & Co. Saturday, November 18, False Creek Park, Vancouver. Renegades vs Agha Khan. A great performance and another victory for thc yet undefeated Renegades! Although Agha Khan's strong point has always been their excellenl footwork, thc Renegades surpassed them easily al Ihat level of soccer- playing skill. Matched with great passes, this gave the Renegades control through most of the game. In thc first half, Agha Khan caughi thc Renegades off guard by scoring their first and only goal three minutes into the game. They kept control of thc play until Renegade Vern Joe evened thc score ten minutes before the end of thc first half. From there on thc game clearly belonged to the Renegades against such odds as mud puddles, many confusing scrambles, and a referee suffering periodic attacks of blindness in favour of Agha Khan. Thirty-five minutes into the second half. Bradley Joe scored thc winning goal for thc Renegades during a mad scramble in front of Agha Khan's nel. This victory for thc Renegades was especially disappointing for Agha Khan. A game well-played by both teams regardless of who wins sportsmanship to the surface after thai game is over. Unfortunately this wasn't Ihe case with Agha Khan and their many fans. Even vvhen the Renegades lose a game, they always cheer and congratulate their opponents. It is an example that other teams would be well advised to follow. Note: Thc game scheduled for Sunday between the Gibsons Wanderers and thc Se chelt Renegades was cancelled for a second week in a row. Last week's meet was cancelled due to a frozen field. One wonders why this weekend's game was cancelled... could il be Ihat the Wanderers have wandered loo far to show up for a good game on a beautilul sunny day'.'??'.' Wc were all looking forward to it. A victory by default for thc Renegades is no fun to watch. Easy for Juniors Wanderers Junior met West Van Eagles at Langdale Field on November 5. Thc game was slow-starting, but saw Gary Knowles pull off the hat trick, with three goals by half time. They were assisted by Mark Jacobsen Robbie Jonas and Ken Kwasnycia. The second half started with yet another goal by Gary Knowles, assited by Bobbie Nicholas. The next goal was by Robbie Jonas, assisted by Ken Kwasnycia. Chuck Esscl- monl lifted a beautiful ball straight down centre field, right into the goal ��� a real money-maker for Chuck. Let's hope the person who made that foolish bet pays off! The lasl goal was made by Ken Kwasnycia and assisted should as a rule bring good If r^ipiFiir^ipipipipipipipiprtfipiFipiFip'^ BROWNIES Gibsons 1st & 2nd Pack had their Enrolment last month.

Or consider, if you will. the strange saga of Mina Hubbard whose husband through his own ill planning and lack of understanding of the hardships and trials to be encountered in an attempt to cross thc unmapped interior of Labrador ��� a five hundred mile trek across virgin territory ��� expired from exhaustion and starvation. Mina, herself, with the aid of a competent guide. George Benson, made the trek, carrying thc Hag for, and unfortunately attempting to defend her (as she perceived him) heroic husband. Mrs. Hubbard exhibited the true strength and pioneering spirit that should be recognized as thc Canadian Identity that we, according to Reader's Digest and Macleans magazine, are so desperately searching for. Reading these tales of others' heroic pioneering spirit has made me want to strap a pack to my back and walk to Prince Rupert. Here in the true and oft-times incredible tales of our country's roots can bc found that nature which must have inspired Old George Gibson to cast aside the familiarity and comfort of Ontario farmlife. Here, in our country's history, in lhc tales told of Mountic Sam Steele, of the last Indian battle (a vibrant, intriguing tale of three men pitted against one hundred of Ihe Queen's Finest) lies the very fundament of ours and our country's rude beginnings. Discover for yourself, if you will, the talcs of: Cariboo Cameron who struck a claim second to and jusl south of the remarkable Billy Barker; Wilfred Grcnfcll, driven by an urge to serve his mission, establishing and maintaining missions for Ihe Grand Banks fishermen who were existing in that time in thc most un-inhabitahlc shacks (sleeping ten or twelve deep ��� depending how you stacked them ��� in earthen floored hovels); and Father Isaac Jogues, who desired so much, as his Jesuit nature dictated, to become a martyr. If you live in Canada and consider this land to be your homeland these tales arc musl reading. The historical imperative and indomitable spiril of these early pioneers and explorers has become, through time, that very nature which distinguishes us as Canadians from our often- VIOLENT-ncighbours to thc south. It is fascinating stuff, truly fascinating. sign hc doesn't love you? I feel that way. I know I'm reasonable. Hc says he'll change but doesn't ��� what can I do bul leave him? Worn Thin Dear Worn Thin: I sympathize, lt seems sometimes all is futile, then try a compromise and give a little. Sometimes it works. When you have invested a lot of time and energy in a relationship you hate to give up without trying everything. Sometimes it's good to leave. If missed enough, maybe the person will exert him/ herself to change. It's good to test this process before you are really too fed up to care. Often when wc wait to leave, wc can't go back, it's over, 'fry, then sec how you feel. Leave before love turns to hate. Dear Ann: 1 am a rather shy fellow. I'm nol bad looking. 1 keep up with the times, but have little luck with 'women. I'd like lo look more ready, if you know whai I mean ��� more out rageous, so to speak. How can 1 have more impact? Model A Dear Model A: We can all stand an overhaul once in a while. Grow a large moustache ��� the girls must like them, there are so many. Have a hair stylist cut your hair. Buy a pipe and a vest and look mysterious. Some fancy man scent could help. Announce your presence so they'll bc looking for you. 1 like British Sterling, and Verbena ��� try several, and lots of good hunting. Dear Ann: I guess this isn't too unusual a problem, but I'm so worried when I lake my wife oui. She won't wear underpants, Says thev are too bulky, or hoi. etc. I want her lo look modest and depending on what she wears or how she sits. I just gct frantic at her lack of modesty. Free Show Dear Free Show: Thai reminds me of a Lenny Bruce quote: "She had on a blouse you could see through, and I didn't want to." Remind her thai she should practise bending, silling, dancing, in from of a mirror. Then you may have lo say 'no' more. If she is doing it on purpose, don'i expect lo change her. One other thing you could do is buy her some pretty purities ��� lhal. loo. could help. Dear Ann: 1 live in a remote and peaceful farm. I have been greatly disturbed lately to find mv house disturbed. Even when we arc only on the other pari of the properly, someone or several people are turning my drawers inside out. going through my house. Wc have purchased a gun; what else can we do? It's creepy thinking such bold people are around. Angry Dear Angry: I certainly feel thc same way. On the coast there arc few people I know that haven't been ripped off of tools, vehicles, sewing machines, money, someone robbing while Ihe people are at home. So a lot is up lo you. I know how outraged you feel at the invasion of privacy. First gel strong locks, if you have a private road padlock a wire gale; sure thev can walk around bul it's a slow getaway. If it's a jointly used road, share lhc keys. That could be a big deterrent. Even pul covering over your windows. Set traps in all the drawers when you go away, something for rats inside and something bigger outside. Take turns patrolling if you have to go away. A large shepherd dog trained to attack inside the house. When they see you mean business, don't let up, have your friends watching and helping to find oul who it is. Then proceed. There's loo much of this terrorism tolerated. Do your own stakeout. Coast News, November 21, 1978 A Conservative view 11.

By Vie Stephens Leader, Conservative Partv of British Columbia Why is there a homeowner granl? Because our taxes are too high. Why arc our taxes too high? Because the governmeni needs enough money to pay the homeowner grant. Do you mean lo say that part of our taxes are collected by government just so it can pav it back to us? Yes, but worse than thai, the governmeni can only pay back pari of whai il collects because il costs a lot lo pay Ihe bureaucrats who colled the lax and pay il hack. It would appear then, that the homeowner is not gaining from thc homeowner granl but losing. Exactly, Ihe people who gain are the public servants hired to administer the scheme. Ihcy gel jobs at our expense. The politicians who perpetuate Ihis fraud vv ill also benefit until the public decides it can no longer be bribed wilh its own money. Whai would vou do to change ail this? That's easy. If taxes arc too high reduce them. Don't subsidize them with our money. What would you do lo reduce property taxes? We would remove school taxes entirely from properly. In mosl cases thc school lax is higher lhan the homeowner granl so homeowners would receive greater benefit than they gel from lhc grant and. al ihe same lime, we would be able lo eliminate thc cost of collection and repayment. What about those few people who would still have difficulty in meeting the remainder of Iheir property taxes? For people in need, especially pensioners and lhc handicapped, the homeowner grant would remain. All Ihis seems so simple. Why arc wc led to believe thai il cannol be done? Complexity is the first line of defence of lhc bureaucrat and lhc politician. Iheir jobs depend upon it. Sim plicity benefits onlv tin taxpayers. MOREL'S Framing & Construction Ltd.

Last January was an even more calamitous month for B.C. with forty- three injured and eighteen dead in 589 fires. From thc Office of the Leader of the Opposition MINING: Remember thc hysteria in the 1975 election, "The Mining Industry is dying in its hole, killed by thc NDP". Remember the half-page advertisements with Alibi Bill Bennett's picture at the bottom. "Disaster" in the mining industry the ad said, "Thousands of miners out of work". Social Credit would cure all this and get mining "moving again". The Socreds did get it moving again ��� down the hole! Here are the facts given by the B.C.Mining Association themselves: Only two mines opened since 1975. Alton Copper Mine which was negotiated and started under the NDP and a sniall gold mine, North- airc. Under thc Socreds mine closures total four plus Craig- mont, who have announced closure is coming. Mining Association says by the end of 1978, "No new- mines will bc in sight, no mines have announced plans for production and no construction is underway." Harvey Parliament, President of B.C.Mining Association said. "The plain fact is there are more mines closing down in B.C. than are opening." In 1977 there were three less operating mines than in 1975. Bob Matthew, Director of B.C.Mining Association said, "If the decline does not stop we may not have a mining industry in British Columbia." (Source���B.C.Mining Association Bulletin. June 16, 1978 & Vancouver Province, July 11. 1978.) Bob Matthew again ��� "Unless we open more mines quickly." the mining industry "will largely disappear." "There will only be 18 operating mines in B.C. by this year end." (Vancouver Province, October 10, 1978.) EMPLOYMENT: "Thousands of miners out of work." said Alibi Bill. What's Ihe present picture? In 1976 there were 15,681 persons employed in the mining industry. In 1977 this had dropped to 15,448. A net loss of 233 jobs. (Source��� B.C.Mining Industry���Price Waterhouse Ltd.) Jobs lost through closure or cutback are: 1976. Gran- duc Mine, 80; 1976, Phoenix Mine, 25; 1976, Texada Mine, 176; 1978, Granduc Mine, 320;TOTAL,601. In addition. Craigmont Mine has announced closure for 1979 with a loss of 320 jobs. This will make a total of 921 jobs lost. So under Social Credit, in spite of two new mines opening, one of which was started under the NDP, employment in the industry is going down. TWO SUCCESS STORIES: Kaiser Resources Coal Mine: McLean's Magazine, October 2. 1978, tells this story. In 1972 Kaiser was "on its knees" with "losses totalling $33.3 million." This was under the old W.A.C.Bennett Socreds. "It was flat on its ass." (Then came those wicked Socialists to wreck the mining industry!) "In 1973 Kaiser declared its first profit of $3.5 million." 1 has gone up and up ever since and "last year made $57.3 million". Some wrecking! Afton Copper Mine: The Socreds' latest propaganda sheet, a twenty-seven page colour booklet, "B.C. Economic Development", paid for by the taxpayer (cost to date $70,000) features the new Afton Mine as one of the great economic achievements under the Socreds. Three hundred jobs ��� a $6 million annual payroll ��� an $85 million investment ��� boast the Socreds. We hate to ruin such plausible propaganda, but thc facts are that the Afton Mine go-ahead was negotiated by the NDP government with Gary Lauk as Mines Minister, and the final decision to go was made in OCTOBER, 1975. In case you think this is propaganda too, let's quote Dr. Norman B.Kcevil, Jr., Vice President of Tcck Corporation, who owns Afton Mines, lt was Kecvil who negotiated with the NDP. "The proposal previously worked out with the NDP government of Dave Barrett will go ahead." (Vancouver Province���February 19. 1976.) So it was the NDP who brought $85 million in investment, 300 jobs, and a $6 million payroll to Kamloops. The Socreds have only brought mine closures and a loss of 921 jobs. QUOTABLE QUOTES: Robert Bonner ��� Old Socred and present B.C.Hydro chairman. "The static economy in B.C. comes partly from thc failure of the mining industry to get back on its feet." Tom Waterland ��� Socred Forest Minister. On January 3, 1978 in the Merritt Herald, Waterland said, "No new copper smelters are needed in B.C.!" Alibi Bill Bennett - On September 9. 1975 he said, PRESENTING The First Annual SUNSHINE COAST HISTORICAL CALENDAR ds*# Ihis attractive Il"xl2'/i" calendar contains twelve individual historic photographs of the Sunshine Coasl dating from 1900 to the mid- thirties.All handsomely primed iu sepia tones on high grade paper.

(Vancouver Sun, September 10,1975.) THE GRANDUC CLOSURE: The Granduc Mine which closed this year is in the At- lin riding held by Socred MLA Frank Calder. Calder who usually hibernates between elections and during legislative sessions, was blamed by his own government for doing nothing to try and prevent the closure. On May 25 this year, NDP MLA Graham Lea was questioning Don Phillips, Minister of Economic Development, about the closure. Part of Phillips' answer follows: Hon. Mr. Phillips: "I also want to inform the House that the member for that constituency hasn't been in contact with the ministry to offer any alternatives or suggestions, and 1 would suggest that if he's really as concerned please tnm to page sixteen BC Classifieds HOUSE FOR SALE: Chilliwack. treed, fenced property.

Send your entries to the Coast News, Box 460, Gibsons. Last week's winner was Shari Jacobson of Box 24 RR#1, Sechelt, B.C., who correctly identified the Trail Avenue extension up to the Sechelt Arena. At the 0.E.S.Christmas Bazaar these seven ladies donated this quilt and doilies they had made for a fund-raising raffle. Responsible were, left to right, Jean Prest, Jackie Donnelly, Dorothy Bosch, Vera Lowe, Lillian Brooks, Pat Fraser, Carlyn Cameron, ana Flora Sim. Bernie Lawson organized the handicrafts making. B.C. Federation of Women meet as he's making out to the Legislature, he would certainly have been in my office and would have been offering alternatives and would have taken some initiative instead of just yakking across the floor." (Hansard, May 25, 1978.) True, Phillips was in his usual state of confusion, deluding himself that Lea was the MLA for Atlin, but his answer confirmed Calder's complete lack of interest in the loss of the Granduc jobs. Calder had done nothing. URANIUM MINING: U.S. President Jimmy Carter decided to halt uranium development because of the health risks involved. The Socreds who feel money is more important, were gung ho to allow the first uranium mine in Clearwater. A recent Royal Commission in Ontario found 81 uranium miners at Elliot Lake died of lung cancer up to 1974 and ten have died since. Socred Mines Minister Jim Chabot dismissed as a waste of money a suggestion that an environmental study be done before going ahead. (Victoria Colonist, December 15, 1977.) The B.C. Medical Association has called for a full scale enquiry into the health hazards and public opposition in the area is solid. Public demonstrations against thc mine were dismissed by Minister Chabot as "A socialist front". Then, with election rumours flying, the Socreds went into reverse. On September 28, Environment Minister Nielsen announced a public enquiry before any development. Sounds like a good death bed repentance���however, the enquiry won't be until "next year", "the government will name the persons to run the enquiry" (watch for Socred hacks) and, wait for it, "1 do not know if the government will agree to be bound by findings of the enquiry," said Nielsen. Translation���"If we win an election the mine will go ahead regardless". You can't trust three dollar Bill. ROYALTIES: Don't gct confused on Ihis issue. The Socreds did nol abolish all "royalties". The royalty system still applies to coal. ' When the NDP left ollice the coal royalty was $1.50 per ton and Dave Barrett had announced it would go up lo $2.50 per ton in 1976. The only significant coal producer is Kaiser Resources. Their- profits reached $57.2 million in 1977, and Kaiser is now selling its coal to Japan for $59.60 per ton, compared with $18.73 per ton in 1972. They can obviously afford to pay more, but the Socreds have left this royalty at $1.50 per ton. As coal production has been approximately 9 million tons per year since 1975, the Socreds' tax gift to the mine owners has been some $13.5 million per year. Taxes on the people have been raised to make up this loss. NDP DOUBLE PRODUCTION Alex Macdonald, MLA. quoted figures in the House billion." (Hansard���May from the Mines Ministry 1978.) annual reports showing total value of mining production doubled in the NDP vears. "In 1972 total value was $636 million.

Spokesperson Cindy Hale commented, "Just when women are gaining a foothold in the labour movement, longstanding rights of workers arc being arbitrarily revoked." By emergency resolution, the convention demonstrated opposition to Bill C-28 and Bill C-8 as direct attacks on the public sector employees' right to strike and to free collective bargaining. Over 200 women representing fifty B.C. women's groups from points as distant as Prince Rupert, Dawson Creek, and Smithers came together for the four-day convention held at Capilano College, Vancouver, November 10���13. Hale said, "It was an exciting convention with women from all over B.C. demanding equality more strongly than ever.
