CPU not satisfied Strike continues at Port Mellon by Vene Parnell Port Mellon mill-workers continue to strike and CPU 1119 union officials will recommend that workers turn down the latest forestry industry offer of a 14% wage increase the first year and 12% the second year. Local 1119 president Dave Gant told the Coast News that workers will vote ori the latest wage offer at 3 pm. July 14. "We will recommend they don't accept the offer." The union position is for a 19% increase both years. Canfor mill manager at Port Mellon, Harry Cargo, told the Coast News that management had met with the local union on "bull session" items and that the company agreed to all or part of 17 of the total 29 items presented. Nine were withdrawn by the union voluntarily and 3 items couldn't be agreed upon, Cargo said. f- Airport receives grant " JfcSa -'..:��� ' "The jointly-owned Gibsons-Sechelt Airport received its second grant of $175,000 from the Ministry of Transportation this week. The first grant financed the feasibility study which dealt with the forecasting and the sizing for the airport. The $175,000 grant indicates support for the improvement and expansion project from the Minister, Alex Fraser. The grant comes from the funding available under the Air Transport Assistance Program. New recreation director Robert Liddicoat of Clearwater has been hired as Recreation Director in Gibsons. He will replace George Bodt as Aquatic Director of the Gibsons swimming pool and will take on additional duties as co-ordinator of indoor and outdoor recreation programs, Alderman Diane Strom told the Coast News. Liddicoat is presently recreation director in Clearwater and brings with him several years of experience in recreational work. He was chosen from several "very well- qualified applicants", Strom said, and is expected to begin work July 20. Community plan amended The amended Sechelt Community Plan, 1980, was accepted for third reading at'the Sechelt council meeting last Wednesday. The revised plan included some of the input from Sechelt village residents received at the public hearing last month. President of the Ratepayer's Association, ex-mayqr Merv Boucher, told the Coast News that he was 'agreeably surprised' that many of the Ratepayers' recommendations were implemented in the final draft. "With one exception, the Ratepayers' objection to the zoning of Lot 7 to commercial instead of high density residential, the Plan is basically very good," said Boucher. The Plan would zone Block 7 to include a mixture of retail, service, residential and tourist. "This should be kept residential as it is within walking distance to the beach, the Boulevard as well as the shopping area. Commercial in this area will take business away from Wharf and Cowrie," said Boucher. "With the rising costs in fuel and automobiles, some of us will not be able to afford these luxuries," said Boucher. Copies of the amended plan are available at the Sechelt Municipal Hall.

"We only had one item to request, and we were turned down," Cargo said, referring to the removal of the clause requiring dummy operators on the site while crane work is being done at the mill. Canfor offered to install a 35-ton crane to be manned by the yard crew in exchange for removal of the clause. Gant said that "the company has to replace their present outdated crane anyway" and that the union insists that qualified mill employees be allowed to operate that and rented crane equipment, as well. "We have qualified workers who have operated 80-ton cranes and if there are not sufficient trained operators at the mill, then we want a training program for them." Gant said that the union was only talking about crane work necessary for mill operations, not contracted cranes for mill reconstruction. Local union demands agreed to by the Canfor management were: menu improvements, better refrigeration and a greater variety of food offered at the mill lunph bar; a 50% rebate on the. purchase of safety boots; the purchase of machinists' safety lenses and frames; providing rain-gear and protective clothing for-*? certain jobs; installation of outside phone lines in four control rooms; an agreement to provide a bigger, more efficient car wash; payments of an hourly wage to workers attending safety meetings on their own time; agreement to certain repairs in the mill and- improvements in vacation policy. Workers unilaterally decided not to sign the mill log book, an established policy at all mills so management knows who is working in case of emergencies and where they can be located. Cargo said that local negotiations were done in a "very forthright, friendly manner, with no animosity. "The company has agreed to build a $2 Vt million shower-locker rooms complex, according to a previous union request and in order to find space for it, we will have to relocate the carports. They are not going to be removed. The transport subsidy is a question that will have to be resolved at the main negotiating table as it affects the policy of all Canfor mills in the province." The union had requested bus transportation, company gas pumps at the mill site, a gas subsidy or a payment of $2 a day per registered car pool with three or more persons. Gant told the Coast News that the proposed centralized shower complex will include the new administration offices and "is not a favour to the mill workers, it is something that management intends to build anyway. They agreed to build a centralized washup area after we had a three day strike at the mill in 1975 protesting the old facilities at the mill, which were deplorable." Gant stated that the union has sent a letter to management protesting the fact that supervisors are bringing their own tools into the mill and doing repairs while workers are on strike. "We don't mind them operating equipment to bury the garbage, for sanitary reasons, but we will undo all the repairs they have done during the strike when we come back to work, because we' can't tolerate that." The presence of non-unionized workers coming in to work on mill reconstruction jobs is still a major issue of contention, Gant said. "Management will not move on their position and we insist that all contract workers be unionized, even if people from Vancouver have to be hired at greater expense, rather than local tradesmen." Gant said that when the union's response to the latest company offer is voted upon, "It will be the companies' turn to call us back to the negotiating table. If they do not call us back by Sunday, then we will see that as an indication that the companies are willing to take the strike, and it could be a long one." In the next few weeks the councils and board governing the Sunshine Coast will be doing some deep thinking on the ramifications of the 'ministerial suggestion' to restructure local government to a district municipality or municipalities. A meeting was held to inform all the politicians of the recent events after the June 29 meeting in Victoria with the Inspector of Minicipal Affairs, Chris Woodward ��� Both village councils and the regional board met at the Sechelt Village Hall July 6 to discuss and express their views on restructuring. At the informal meeting they also discussed the steps to be taken to prepare for the deputy minister's visit scheduled July 30. I hree's'committees were formed to further examine the possibilities and implications of forming one, two or more district municipalities. One committee, chaired by Alderman/Director Brian Stelck, will gather information on the financial aspects of the restructuring. Another will look into the implications restructuring will have for public works and the ramifications for the services under the different numbers of municipalities. This committee will be chaired by Sechelt Mayor Bud Koch. Under the chairmanship of Gibsons Alderman Bill Edney, the third committee will look into the difference made to the existing facilities and staffing that the new structure will bring. The three committees will report their findings to another full board and councils meeting July 20. As an introduction, Alderman Brian Stelck summarized the events that took place at the meeting in Victoria to those members who were not present at the interview with Woodward. Stelck said the SCRD delegation had gone to Victoria to discuss, among other things, the West Howe Sound Sewer. After the design plans had been rolled out Woodward asked if the SCRD was thinking of becoming a district municipality, When he received a negative answer. Woodward replied: "You are already extending services to the outlying areas giving the people no reason to want to form a district municipality. We will have to be convinced that this is an absolute.impossibility ' . before we extend any more services. We (the ministry) are looking at the Sunshine Coast as one district municipality," said Woodward. Stelck reported that Woodward had tended to exclude the Pender Harbour area and later said that the ministry might entertain the idea of two district municipalities. "Every question we put forth, the deputy minister answered the same way," said Stelck, "if we were talking district municipality the ministry would entertain ideas." Stelck said that the deputy minister had discussed the point system of taxation that would be implemented. The minister gave the example of the Prince George structure where the downtown area pays 90 points on the system for services and the outlying areas with no services (i.e. In the Agricultural Land Reserve) 5 points, all on a user-pay basis. "The deputy minister said there would be many encouragements and benefits for the forming of a district municipality", said Stelck, "Monies will be made available from the return of the last three years' taxes from the regional district to the provincial government. The amount of 30 mills, estimated at $5 million will be granted. In addition we will receive $220 per person in the outlying regions and $50 per person in the villages. He also mentioned that we would enjoy five years relief on the upkeep of roads and all service roads will be brought up to standard, as well as five years relief of welfare costs and policing. Woodward also mentioned that extra dollars will be available for special functions to set up the municipality." "We stand to gain a great deal but it is essential that when the deputy minister comes on July 30, that we present a united front and an image of co-operation from whatever decision we come to", said Stelck, "If we end up warring, the people of the Sunshine Coast will stand to lose much. From the deputy minister's tone it is inevitable that, whether we like it or not, some restructuring will be done in this area." The final decision, Stelck and other members stressed, will have to be derived from the serious, unemotional and politically unbiased brainstorming of all the politicians as to what is in the best interests of the people on the Sunshine Coast. After the report, each attending member candidly expressed his or her views. As the pertinent data that will be received from the committees was not available, many of the opinions stated were not definitive. It would be unfair and premature at this time to quote any of the politicians directly as the meeting was only intended as a briefing. " Thi iititiill dehbcrati.'irS of the aldermen and directors seemed, to favour one district municipality for the whole of the Coast. The count was seven in favour of one, five in favour of two or more, and one for the maintenance of the status quo. Reasons for and against thus far mentioned by those in favour of one or more, centre around the economic benefits of one and the feeling that representation of the people would be better in more than one district municipality. * Oeorga Matthawa Photo Assorted trash litters power line near Langdale Creek. Authorities are concerned about possible leeching and danger to children. (See letter on page 15). Joint use addendum Loophole found Refuse to be cleared Garbage dumped The accumulation of garbage on the B.C. Hydro power line adjacent to Stewart Road in Gibsons has resulted in a series of complaints by local residents. The trash dumped at the site includes household refuse, remnants of building materials, discarded household appliances and even the occasional abandoned vehicle. Much of the discarded material has been dumped over the bank above Langdale Creek and concern has been raised over the possible leeching of hazardous material into the creek itself. B.C. Hydro spokesman Al Polok stated that Hydro would clear the refuse that is accessible within the next ten days. He further stated that efforts would be made to limit public access to the illicit dumping ground by ditching and posting signs. Mr. Polok indicated that Hydro has been faced with the problem of illicit dumping for some time and on occasion has had to resort to contacting the people responsible to remove their garbage. Those dumping garbage are usually easily identified through letters or other personal papers left at the sites. The proximity of the Stewart Road site to the old Gibsons dump suggests that some Gibsons residents are still used to the convenience of the former Gibsons dump site. There are four times a year that garbage can be dumped locally, and while the need to dump does not always correspond to these times, residents are urged to plan their garbage dumping needs more carefully. by Maryanne West A frustrated trustee Hodgins made a renewed appeal for a workshop to discuss the problems of joint-use facilities at the School Board meeting, as another breakdown in communications threatens further delay in the start of work on the Roberts Creek Gymnasium/ Community Hall. It is hoped that a meeting on Tuesday July 14 between the Chairmen and Secretaries of the Regional and School Boards can reach an agreement over the wording of the addendum concerning rental policy which will avoid the documents having to go back again to the Ministry of Education for approval, a time consuming hurdle which had already been cleared. The Board's frustration results from their understanding that every "i" was dotted and "t" crossed and that work could start on receipt of approval from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. Unfortunately they did not know that in April the Regional Board felt concerned that the master agreement, which states that rents Hunter joins Coast News Internationally known writer and environmentalist Bob Hunter has joined the Coast News list of contributors.

The School Board sees no problem as it makes sense to them to charge enough to cover the operational expenses for which they have agreed to be responsible, but not more or less. Neither option makes sense as both would deprive the community, either by the use of public funds or by overcharging local charitable organisations. Please turn to Page 28 ON THE INSIDE...

It is one of our society's most vivid symbols of failure. It is a clear indication of management's failure to manage. It is a failure of workers to keep their cool, be patient and look for compromise. It is a failure of our system to provide logical alternatives to the strike as a tool in negotiations. The worker must protect his income, his working conditions and his right to a contract with his employer. Management must protect its economic position and its right to manage. Between these two positions lies room for compromise. Most often, if not always, the distance between the workers' position and management's is ridiculously small. That grown men and women can be so stubborn and so intractable as to stop talking and start walking, and in the process harm others, particularly small businesses, must surely be seen a failure of human reason. Those smooth talkers Speaking of wage increases, it is highly gratifying lo note that our legislators and parliamentarians found no great difficulty last week in negotiating their own raise in pay. Our MLA's smoothly and deftly, in a matter of hours, managed to talk their employers into a 11% wage increase. In ���Ottawa, (as proof that the cream always rises to Ihe top) our MP's pressured their employers into a 2.1';; wage increase. It's a shame that negotiators with the skill of our Ml A'sand MP's have to waste their tunc in government. With one or two of these smooth talkers in CUPW, the PPWC, the IWA, or the B.C. Marine and Ferry Workers Union, all of our labour problems would be solved. NDP house leader Stanley Knowlesand a handful of New Democrats tried valiantly to talk their colleagues out of a raise but those sharp wheelers and dealers in parliament steamrolled Stanley and wages went up, no strike, no picket lines, no conciliators. Will our politicians be able to solve the postal dispute so smoothly? One of the family Automobile accidents and the injuries they cause are, unfortunately, such a common occurance on our highways as to rarely rate substantive coverage in a weekly newspaper. Occasionally however, those who are injured and their families are so close to us as to draw our immediate concern and sympathy. .. The injuries sustained by Bill Proctor, son of newspaper publishers Dick and Joan Proctor, in an automobile accident a week ago Saturday occasioned the concern of many of the Proctor's friends and colleagues. Here at the Coast News wc are concerned not only because Bill's injuries are serious, which they are; not only because Bill is a fine young man, which he is; not only because Bill was a student of some of us at Elphinstone, which he was; but because among people in.the same business, there is a special feeling of kinship. In a sense, the common work and enterprise, even among competitors, creates a sense of family and when one of our "family" is hurt we feel deeply about it. The staff of the Coast News sends its prayers to Bill and his family for a full and speedy recovery. ...from the files of the COAST NEWS f'��� TffilgyMB FIVE YEARS AGO Not available. TEN YEARS AGO The planning committee on advice of Director Cliff Thorold recommended that the matter of zoning, in the Redrooffs Road, Halfmoon Bay area be re-examined. Extensive studies regarding land use and public hearings to correct irregularities were suggested In the meantime appli- ���.aiicis for rezoning will be held in abeyance. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO A general meeting on July 7 starting at 8 pm. in Selma Park Community Hall will be held to discuss important business concerning the recent formation of a regional district, which is expected to be able to take care ol regional garbage problems. This meeting has been called by the Garbage and Disposal board. There are active recreation committees in Sechelt and Gibsons. One sought $625 from Sechelt's council for summer recreation activities. The committee settled for $70. The Gibsons Recreation committee, while it did not ask for a specific amount, was granted $105 towards its swim classes. In the meantime, Gibsons Recreation committee sent out a letter "to all concerned" with a plea for donations towards the $600 recreation services required for this summer's operation. TWENTY YEARS AGO An official announcement from Canadian Forest Products Ltd. outlines details of the $12,000,000 expansion program for the Port Mellon mill. Involved in this program is work now underway on four evaporators, with two hog fuel boilers, a lime kiln, more chip handling facilities, two new washers, a screening plant addition, a five-stage bleach plant and new centrifugal type pulp cleaners to come. There is also possibilities of a new pulp warehouse. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO The Merchants Credit Association of the Sunshine Coast has now been subscripted 100 percent, embracing every business on the coast. This is a wonderful step forward in our evergrowing communities, a step that is advantageous not only to the merchants but to everyone on the Coast. Through co-ordination of credits with credit bureaus of the province a poor credit risk cannot come into this area and load a merchant with debt he cannot handle. Such a liability must be buried in the price one pays for any commodity. Eliminate such added expense and prices could be kept lower. THIRTY YEARS AGO The Phi Beta Gamma camp for underprivileged children will open the first ol three camps sometime at the end of this week. Under supervision of Miss Joan Finnen, the camp will cater to 30 children at each of the three meets slated for this summer. One time part of the DePencier property, the camp has recently been renovated and repainted.

Robert and Clara Donley had arrived at the mainland beach near the site of an ox-logging camp for a season in a tent before moving to Edgecombe Island. The two oxen seen here are travelling light; the ring under the yoke hangs idle. Ted Winegarden, who as a boy watched some of the last of these teams drag logs down the Moodyville skid-road to a railway near the Gibson's Landing wharf at the time of this Robert Donley photo, says that the logging ox was of no particular breed. A neutered bull calf was especially fed to produce weight and strength. There was a great demand for these animals during the last twenty years of the nineteenth century and the first ten of the twentieth. Then, with timber within easy access gone, loggers were obliged to turn to horses and steam engines for motive power. Robert Donley's negatives, which he processed in his own darkroom, remain clear after more than seventy years. Photo courtesy Ida Higgs and Elphinstone Pioneer Museum. t.R.

PART II We dropped the curtain last week on the black comedy of the Iron Creek Cavalry as the intrepid and inept adventurers were blundering in the dark on the side of a mountain somewhere at the west end of the Crowsnest Pass, outside of Fernie and above, we were assured, Iron Creek. Two of the group. Hank Bath and Napper Jack, had laready despaired of the innumerable re-packings of the black mare, the blundering in precipitous blackness among impenetrable underbrush, and had deserted the little safari preferring to huddle over a tiny fire in the midst of it all to any further wrestlings with the Kennedy Trail. The rest of us. three in number, chose to lead the other three horses on the heels of the indefatigable Kennedy, our guide and planner, he of the broken elbow and the single flashlight. I said last week that the party was about evenly divided between those who thought the trail had never existed except in some murky recess of the Kennedy mind and those who thought it had once existed but no longer did. I was of the latter persuasion. I had no doubt whatsoever that it had once been a trail and had no doubt, either, that it was so long ago that nothing larger than a wood beetle had traversed that particular mountain ridge after dark in years. We remaining followers were strung out in single file groping downwards in pitch black. It was so dark that you couldn't see the horse you were leading. 1 was fortunate in that Jack Worthington was ahead of me leading the old white mare. When he had to stop I usually got a sense of the horse's whiteness just before I walked into it. But the night was punctuated by the muffled curses of Thompson behind me as every time' wc halted he walked into the rear end of my slightly darker horse. That horse behaved beautifully. I have described him as having an uncertain temperament but that was only what I had been told. He had run away with Kennedy and that diabolical chubby little man did have the marks of the horse's rear feet on his belly but in his dealings with me he, the horse of course, was an absolute gentleman. At one point as we edged around a hairpin bend, with Kennedy's light long lost in the bush or the bends ahead. 1 missed my footing and fell off the trail coming with all my weight with a tremendous yank on the horse's mouth. He stood stock still and patient till 1 scrambled up beside him again. On another occasion a branch snagged in his pack and in trying to pull through he yanked the whole pack around and under his lower belly. It was the pack which held the oats. I felt the tug at the other end of the bridle as the horse stopped, felt him lurch towards me, heard the tearing of the underbrush and he had suddenly stopped again. 1 called for the light and up the trail towards me past the white marc came Kennedy of the Lump with his plaster cast glinting. He flashed the light on the horse and we saw the pack upside down under its belly. Without thinking much about it I crawled under to loosen it and straighten it out. It was only when I got under there and started fiddling with the straps underneath the horse that Kennedy told me it had tried to kick his head off the previous day and shone the flashlight on the hoof-marks on his belly for my further edification. Again the diabolical laugh rang out as Kennedy chortled his glee at the sudden, frantic, careful haste of my movements, but again the horse was patience itself. In fact there was a very real bond between the men and the horses - Hank Bath excepted, of course. The horses realized as fully as the men that Kennedy had landed us all in an absurd pickle and that the best Way out of it was co-operation all round. Sometimes Kenne dy's voice would announce, "Deadfall, lads!" and sometimes would stand by till we got over it with his light playing on the obstacle. More often the terrain would not allow his proximity and we would find ourselves faced with a chest- high fallen tree in the middle of the way in the total dark. Then it was duck under, transfer the reins to the other hand - and now for the horse. The reins went almost straight up in the air - firmly, as the horse you couldn't see held back. Coaxing and encouraging and tugginggently you waited while the horse inspected the obstacle, then there was the lunge and the slackening of the reins and he was coming and you threw yourself blindly to one side into the bush so he could land where you were standing. Then wearily out of the bush, take your bearings to try to find where the lamp had gone, or the white mare, or at least the voices and the bush blunder- ings if there was nothing visible, and on again. It was half past three in the morning before we strugglet into a flat clear place on the valley bottom. Worthington had a splendid fire burning inside an old tree stump in a matter of moments and we unpacked and tied the horses, ate something canned and wordless with fatigue crawled inside our sleeping bags muttering sleepy, cold curses at the figure of the chuckling Kennedy who was already vanishing, flashlight, broken arm and all, back up the trail for Hank Bath and Napper Jack. It was the coldest, darkest, pre-dawn hour before 1 woke by the fire and heard them coming. From a long way off the crashings in the bush and the laughter of Kennedy and the cursing of Napper Jack announced their arrival. From Hank Bath there came never a sound. It was Hank who stumbled into the firelight first and it was obvious immediately what had happened. He was bent double under an enormous burden. The top half of his wiry little body was entirely obscured by it. Obviously despairing of the Please turn to Page Three [Slings & Arrows! [George Matthews^^- by George Matthews Where is it that political life is so venal, so corrupt, so filled with rampant "pork-barelling" as to defy the human imagination? Louisiana? British Columbia? Argentina? All good choices but none of these jurisdictions comes close to the state of political life in Israel. The circumstances leading up to the election two weeks ago. and the subsequent jockeying for power to see who would control the l."��0 scat Knesset reflect badly on Israel's national and international prestige. It is common to think of Israel as a young, vibrant idealistic nation. This myth is founded on a sympathetic world community and an overly protective press. The facts do not support such a favourable view. The world view of Israel is that of a sophisticated, urbane society forming a civilized bridgehead for western culture in an otherwise primitive Arab world. The belief is that modern Israel was populated by displaced European Jews and American professionals yearning for the adventure of nation building. Certainly Israel did become home for the survivors of the Holocaust and has benefitted bv the arrival of well educated, idealistic former Americans. However, half of Israel's population, particularly those arriving after 1956. have come from Arab nations where, as a result of Israel's historic conflict with her neighbours, these wretched folk had been persecuted. The arrival of these oriental Jews has resulted in a substantial change in Israeli culture. The oriental Jews are generally poor, uneducated and given to religious fanaticism, not to mention an undying hatred of all things Arab. The political consequence of these newer waves of immigrants has been a shift to the political right, a kind of simple populism characterized by religious orthodoxy and redneck politics. For 30 years. Israeli politics was dominated by the Labour Party, supported largely by educated Europeans. Labour party politics were generally left of centre and generally socialistic. In maintaining power, Labour was often obliged to seek the support of a handful of the religious parties. The price paid for this support was the maintenance of religious custom and tradition including the closing down of transportation facilities on the Sabbath and the religious control of civil functions. More recently however, right wing elements, represented by the Likud party have become more powerful. More than just symptomatic of the rise of religious orthodoxy everywhere, the Israeli right is hardline on everything from domestic politics to negotiations with the Arabs. It is also cynical and corrupt. Last January when the first polls were taken on the July election, the Labour Party was strongly in the lead with 5S scats projected. The ruling Likud could account for no more than 20. In February and March, an unfortunate clash between the leaders of the left cut into Labour support and by March Labour had slipped to 45 scats to the Likud's 33. Mcnachin Begin, Premier and leader of the Likud Party resorted to a series of "pork- barelling" exercises, including the lowering of import duties on colour T. V. sets, designed to buy votes. Even more cynically, Begin manufactured a crisis in Lebanon and gave the impression that Israel was being threatened by the Syrian occupation forces. There is- nothing like a military threat, real or imagined, to rally the forces of the right in Israel. As a last act in inviting world opinion against a beleaguered Israel. Begin ordered the bombing of the French sponsored nuclear power station in Iraq. By the time Begin's invented crisis had taken hold of the popular imagination the Likud had gained enough popular support to account for 45 seats, while Labour, by the end of May. had a slipped to 42. June saw the Likud with 46 seats and Labour with 40. At election time, enough Israeli voters had seen through the shallow tactic to cut into the Likud lead and the final results saw Begin with 49 seats. Labour with 48 and the other parties sharing the remaining 23 seats. With support from a handful of the religious parties. Begin will be able to control probably 63 of the 120 seats, a slim majority which wijj no doubt be threatened over the next few months. While the political huck- sterism of Begin and the Likud produced a happy result for Israel's right, it is. in the long run. a black day for a country that held so much promise for its people. The sick Israeli economy, the flagging international support for Israel's cause and the awakening Arab world promise an uncertain future for Israel and her people. It would appear that in the eighties. Israel's greatest enemy is not outside her borders, but rather on the inside. Coast News, July 14, 1981 , ICntiTnGtfVj I VlrtlOOlftTrHVlK, Letters to the Editor "Super municipality" slapped Editor: Here we go again. The latest ploy to transfer costs to property owners is Bennett's new super municipality for the Sunshine Coast. When election time rolls around, he'll bribe you once more ��� with your own money. The facts are simple: municipalities pay a larger share of police, highway, welfare and planning costs; regional boards and villages pay less. (Regional boards, 4 mill limit; villages, 25 mill limit; municipalities, SO mill limit). As a municipality we will pay these new costs: Police (25 x $40,000 per man) 1 million. Highways maintenance and subdivision approval staff costs - l'/i million, plus a share of welfare and any other costs we are stuck with. Since a mill is worth $100,000 here, this translates into a twenty-five mill increase across the board for every taxpayer on the Sunshine Coast. These new costs will be paid regardless of all the blather about grants et cetera, from Lee and Stelck who are pushing Bennett's plan. The grants they talk about won't even pay for the new equipment, buildings and land required for the new municipal complex which will be located, no doubt, in Sechelt. If you want to know what 25 mills means, look at your tax notice. It's roughly half your present school tax. Certainly, I agree that local government could be reorganized; but why charge us 25 mills extra, Mr. Bennett? Mr. Stelck? Mr. Lee? The answer is simple as well. Under new provincial rules, the developers on the Coast won't get any more water and sewer systems paid for by the province unless we become a District Municipality. Suddenly all those fiscal conservatives we elected are ready to charge you 25 mills without batting an eye. Why? In any conflict between the business community and the rest of the taxpayers, why is it that the homeowner gets the short end of the stick? Mr. Bennett? Mr. Stelck? Mr. Lee?

Hank had taken the bit between his teeth, so to speak, seljed the whole pack and stumbled down the mountain witji it.

Counterpoint to his laughter came arigther outburst of sorrowful, cursing, eloquence from Napper Jack behind him as he found a hole that I had tumbled injo a few hours earlier. He lurched into view, a woebegone ligire hobbling on the sides of hij-'cowboy boots in the last etftiiemity of exhaustion. Nothing in his career as a bartender had prepared him for this. Even Hank Bath stirred under his load and virtually from the ashes turned towards the last man in. It was a sight reminiscent of the entry of the dehydrated Jimmy Peters into Empire Stadium at the end of the marathon in 1954 when he arrived a half hour ahead but unable to find or crawl his way once around the track to the finish line. It Was little Hank from under his horse-pack and who hated horses who found the comment. "It's a strange, strange world we live in, Napper Jack," he said and collapsed again. But now we were there, in the bottom of Iron Creek in the land of the elk, and hunting could begin. Perhaps next week we could take a last look at the Iron Creek Cavalry and the great elk hunt. Covering ihe Coverage Homeowners Package Policies Almost all owner-occupied dwellings are insured under a Homeowners Package Policy (H.O.) form. With slight variations, virtually every insurance company offers this type of package. It is an excellent policy, combining multi- peril coverage with simplicity of form. The H.O. form consist of many coverages consolidated into one policy. It provides for coverage on the house, outbuildings, personal belongings, additional living expenses and includes a comprehensive personal liability section. The key figure on this policy is the limit carried on the house itself. All the other coverage limits (except liability) are based on a percentage of this amount. There are three types of H.O. packages available: Standard Form - By far the most popular and least expensive. It is a Named Perils policy, or. in other words, it tells you what you are covered against. Comprehensive Form -Just the opposite of the Standard form, it is by far the least popular and most expensive. It is an "All Risk" form, meaning it tells you what you are not covered against. If it docs not state otherwise, you must be covered. Broad Form - This is the middle of the road policy, combining Named Perils cover on personal belongings and "All Risks" on buildings. As probably 85% of H.O. policies are written on the Standard Form, we will concentrate on this form for the next few weeks. SUNSHINE COAST INSURANCE AGENCIES LTD. Box 375.

And what would Hallowe'en be in Halfmoon Bay if these guys didn't get together to make it a great time for the kids of the area? Egmont News Splash! b, Jon Van Ardell Last Sunday afternoon a 1978 Ford Power Wagon shot over the bank and plunged into the bay between the boat ramp and the government wharf in Egmont. The owner was up from California with his family and it was his first day in town. The vehicle was still in 'park' with the emergency brake on when he removed all of his belongings from the almost totally- submerged wagon. It took quite an effort by P.H. Chevron to pull the vehicle back up the cliff. No one was hurt but damage to the wagon and the owner's personal effects was considerable. 1 must apologise for getting the plane story wrong last week. It was a Cessna 185 and not a Beaver aircraft. Certainly no disrespect was meant to anyone involved and the fortunate thing is that no one was injured in the crash. The Egmont News will be taking a summer sabbatical for an indefinite length of time. It has been fun reporting for the town and I wish nothing but good news to continue. Gaston and Alice Roussy visited town this week. Gaston grew up on the Gaspe coast and migrated west in 1941. Gaston has never seen the Pacific Ocean ami his quote was "By gar, if I had seen (lis coast in 1941, I'would never have stopped in Grand Forks!"

A great experience for these young people who have Ihe spirit of adventure. Tile Rt'drooff* Trail I have made mention of this trail before and w ill continue to do so as it seems to get narrower each time you walk Ihere. Adjacent property owners are gradually closing in on it possibly in the hope that if they do so the public trail will "go away". And it will dojusl that if we don't watch out for it. This is happening all around us - places of public accessibility are disappearing right under our noses and nobody seems lo care. New Koiriciitx Ihere are many new and inleresting residents moving into the area and it is always good to hear about them and lo get to know them, as well as wish them welcome. One such family who has moved into ihe Welcome Woods area is the grandson and family of a well known family who have lived here for many years. Kelly Foley with wife and baby are actually not newcomers although Kelly has been away from the area for several years and has now come back "home". He is a grandson of Ed Edmunds of Redrooffs. His mother's grandfather was a well know n logger in the area as far back as the 1900s. Kelly and family have moved in from the Squamish area. Nice to have you back where you belong!

Pender Opinion ?e Really Big Shoo 99 by Robl Peters One of life's unexpected pleasures happened to me last week. It was a spur-of-the- moment invitation to Welcome Beach Hall to watch old friends Ronnie Dunn and John Hamilton perform in a truly well done variety show. The show just kept getting better and better. But that's what you expect from troupers, who,, without a doubt, could do no wrong as", far as this audience was concerned. A part of the singing group will be taking part in our Really Big Shoo, "The Pender Harbour Picnic and Fair" to be held in Lions Park August 2nd. It's a Sunday. It sounds great - tor all you people who make your own wine - we have a wine judging contest, so get your old "kickapoo-joy juice" brewing. If your tastes run to roses, flower arrangements, or Dahlias, we have a flower show for you. For the small children - a wild flower posie or basket arrangement. Cooking contests include breads, pies, decorated cakes and a special for Pender ��� smoked salmon - also a pickle division of dill pickles and relishes. Come on and get into the spirit of an old-time fair. The picnic will start off with an outside church service at 11:30 a.m. Now that sounds nice. During the day all types of entertainment are planned, square dancing, Punch and Judy show, fair games, children's races, etc. At Lions Park there are at least eight barbeques to use as well as lots of open grass and parking areas. Food will be available - hamburgers, hot dogs, corn-on-the-cob, candy floss, ice cream, popcorn, and tea and coffee. To finish the day off, a big bonfire is planned with a sing-a-long. Programs will be available for the scheduled events. HALFMOON BAY COUNTRY FAIR Saturday July 18th -12 Noon Opening by Sechelt May Queen Halfmoon Bay School j. Trout Lake Road j.

The Highwaymen, as (hey were known, would pounce upon the unwary traveller and rob himj, We now have a more modern version of the Highwayman. With, or without a very cheap license they can peddle their wares from street to street, or the public highways, without government inspections���scale or otherwise. We have known how very frequently these street peddlars, Including home renovation dealers, have conned the unwary and absconded with nothing but profit and no guarantee of satisfaction. While our laws generally are based on a 'Buyer Beware' philosophy, and I am all for freedom of choice, as a local businessman I must protest the easy, cheap licensing that permits these people to operate on our streets and highways. We, who are in business locally (whether tradespeople or merchants) must pay property taxes, be hooked into sewer and water, and Hydro; employ locally domiciled people and generally provide more in services than these fly-by-night, fast buck artists. !* fr ft ft- ��� m ��?> * M (He I*W | ��� *-*...��� I am aware that there are numerous people, residing locally, who have their agency lines that they sell from their homes, or door to door.

Take, for instance, the matter of the surplus of black Tigs out in the relief camp at Thetis Lake that spring of '38. Anyone who has ever had even the slightest connection with the feeding of large numbers of men isolated in remote camps, knows how difficult it is to get them to eat prunes or, as they are commonly called "C.P.R. strawberries", and as for dried black figs, one might as well forget it. Served raw or cooked they are avoided, almost as if they had properties in their make up that were in some way associated with the Black Plague that ravaged Europe in the 14th Century, and nothing can coerce the men into believing that they are edible. I don't know who was responsible for the ordering of supplies for that particular camp, it certainly wasn't the head cook, but amazingly with every shipment of groceries received there were several boxes of these accursed black figs. One would almost think that the authorities, or the powers that be that regulated these matters, were trying to provoke a crisis and the fact that the culinary staff would be involved, seeing that they were responsible for the disposal of these damned dried fruits, was inevitable. Perhaps I had better go back to the beginning in order to make sense of the events that led to my short stay on the Island and my subsequent return to the Mainland. I have no means of knowing, never having been in a relief camp before or since, if the one at Thetis Lake was typical of all those scattered throughout the Dominion during those Depression years. Nor do I know who had conceived t(ie notion of "improving" the shoreline of that beautiful Jake by cutting trails around ft and, for decorative purposes, constructing such atrocities as rustic bridges and benches for the weary to rest upon. That the hundred or so men living in the camp had to have something to do- and occupy their time was logical I concede, but from what I observed while there, they might as well have stayed in the bunkhouses and read books or played cards among themselves; that way they would have done less harm to the environment. However, they were led out in gangs of about twenty each morning with usually an older man in charge and the chopping and hacking continued in a desultory fashion all dsy, only interrupted by a lunch hour break that could last anywhere from 1 '/i to 2 hours, depending on how long the overseer felt he needed for his after lunch nap. I had been informed at the Mission on Abbott Street that, seeing I was to be the experienced help the head cook demanded, I would be paid but I was advised to keep the matter to myself as there were only four men actually on the payroll at the camp - the Superintendent was Parsons (a son of the Inspector of the RCMP), the clerk, a chap by the name of Metcalfe, Joe Kaglios, the chef, and myself. All the rest received 20 cents per day for their efforts. A free issue of clothing, including boots, was available and last, but not least, a half-pound tin of tobacco and papers for rolling one's own cigarettes. I found Joe a very fine person to work with although, not that it mattered, I never was able to discover whether he was a Greek, Armenian, Serbian or possibly a Bulgarian. He was a short, roly- poly man in his forties and, while he didn't appear to ever get overly excited or disturbed about anything pertaining to what went on in the kitchen, he was in a continual bath of perspiration; it ran off him in rivulets and he was for ever changing the linen napkin that he wore around his neck. Our work was not particularly arduous as we had all kinds of help with the more menial tasks. The assignment of men for kitchen duties resembled the K.P. of military life and, in view of the fact that although most of them hadn't the foggiest notion of what it was all about, they accepted it cheerfully as working the cookhouse always has fringe benefits in the way of extra rations and access to "goodies" that are not dispensed across the steam table. I don't know who first came up with the brilliant suggestion of what we should or could do with all these boxes of figs that were cluttering up the storeroom. It certainly wasn't Joe, the chief cook, nor could I claim credit for the original idea. I think it was Mutlow, the^ chap who was acting as temporary butcher and mutilating the sides of beef and pork that arrived on a weekly basis at the camp. He had an engaging personality and everyone liked him, but he was definitely "harum-scarum" and made no secret of the fact that he had only one goal in life and that was to get drunk as often as the opportunity presented itself and to stay drunk as long as possible. Anyway his idea was that, seeing we had all the ingredients necessary, the fruit, the sugar and the wooden tubs to hold the brew, we should lose no time in getting a batch of wine started. The sooner we commenced, the shorter the time we would have to wait till the fermentation was completed and we would have not only an important thing lacking in our daily diet, but the elixir that made life really worth living. I can't say that poor old Joe was too enthusiastic about getting involved in this project, but I certainly was and threw what little weight I carried in backing up the butcher's suggestion. After all, I reasoned, the men won't eat the figs, it would be criminal in these hard times to throw them away and, as long as we kept the secret to ourselves, what harm was there provided it was used judiciously. What was wrong in having a little wine to wash down our meals and lighten the cares of the day? Little did any of us have any anticipation at the time of the dire consequences attendant upon this little experiment in the fermentation of the fig I Pitch-in and Keep Canada Beautiful for tourists and residents.

In his adult years he became very interested in early childhood education. He travelled lo Switzerland to visit Johann Pestalozzi and on his return, after some time spent in active service in the Napoleonic Wars, he began devoting more lime to education and in 1837 he went to Bad Blankenburg and opened the first kindergarten. The word kindergarten means the garden of children. It was an educational situation, rather than a formal classroom type of school. Children were encouraged to play together or singly, and the environment was such that through their play they could not avoid learning. All of these early education theorists stressed Ihe importance of exercise and activity. Children, they argued, should develop healthy, robust bodies. Education was a total involvement, not cerebral training. Play would provide supreme motivation, cooperation and competition. They viewed children as growing entities who should be brought up in unity with all nature - hence the concept of the garden where the child is one of many growing things, all experiencing together and gaining understanding through observation and participation of various life cycles and the interactions of all living things. There were no formal lessons, but the teachers were always ready to answer ques tions, to suggest activities, to call a group together to view some phenomenon of nature. Curiosity and the ensuing questions were part and parcel of the daily sessions. We must remember that these were days before schools were deluged with tons and tons of paper, print, books, pamphlets and long before duplicating machines, copiers, colouring books, cheap crayons, pencils and ball point pens. Slates, slate pencils and sponges were provided to children who wanted to letter or draw. School was not so "bookish" and reading skills were not "scientifically'' or systematically taught. The alphabet was the key lo reading, and the children spelled out words and mastered reading in whatever language was their mother tongue. Graded vocabularies were unknown. Yet they seemed to forge ahead under their own desires to learn. In North America we are not utilizing play as a system of teaching our children to the degree we might. We are very suspicious of teachers who "let the children play too much", asking ourselves if that is what we pay teachers to do! In our hearts we are victims of the puritan "work elhic", and we impose this concept on our very little ones. It is interesting how the children gradually abandon their diligence and willingness to strive for mastery, until the early adolescents actually are known to deride any of their peers who work very hard to succeed in school, and many of them Emergency services by Robl Peters Would you know what to do if you saw an aircraft in distress or a boat on fire or in trouble?

Thanks people - nice to know you are there if we need you. ii i in huh Willi actually go through the play experiences which they were not permitted to have in early childhood. Any standard or learned behaviour which is not natural to children will be abandoned as soon as the child learns that he can successfully defy authority. We used to struggle to make our high school students conform to very strict dress codes, yet a visit to the university at the time was an eye-opener in informal if not bizarre clothing. The standard we set was not accepted by the young people. Finally teachers and parents gave up the struggle. Can it be that if we let the little ones play and learn in less formal situations with no stress and no set curricula they would gradually develop a thirst for learning that they might try to quench in their.early teen years? If industry is stressed prematurely and formal lessons begun too early, are we not asking for the teen-age rebellion against these things? We should be setting up experimental schools and encouraging parents to enroll their little ones in more natural and less demanding primary classes.

Where else would you hear that line but at the Roberts Creek Daze pet show? It typifies the whole mood and attitude of the Daze, funky and fun. The Higgledy Piggledy Parade was short but represented all facets of the community, from the Roberts Creek Legion colour guard and Miss Roberts Creek Lions to my kids in "my grandmother's wedding dress" push, pull, or dragging all kinds of critters in outlandish garb. The Ladies Softball Team proudly waved its trophy from the 10 to 3 win over the Beachcombers on Friday night from atop the fire engines and of course Mr. Roberts Creek was regal on his kitchen chair. Even the retiring Mr. Roberts Creek made it, gray and feeble though he was from a strenuous year of sexual harassment and adoration. The rest of Saturday was exceedingly mellow. Once again the sun came through and made the parking lot down by the wharf a perfect setting for the crafts and food booths. With the enticing smell of Indian curry mingling with barbecued Robbie burgers it was pleasant indeed to sit on the beach basking in the warmth watching the canoe races across the mouth of the Creek to the accompaniment of the many talented Roberts Creek musicians gathered in a jam- session. The Daze had to be scaled down this year because of a shortage of time and personnel to organize it but it lost none of the essential elements.

Its success can be partially gauged by the number of people who came, most of them familiar faces with some tie to Roberts Creek. Close Match It was like a duel, the final competition in the Mr. Roberts Creek contest, but the two contestants tied for the title made a good show of it, to the delight and hilarity of the audience. It was a tough decision for the judges who had to resort to a "touch and feel" examination but eventually it was the crowd who made the choice, carried away by the melodic prowess of Dan Tohill on his mouth- organ. It was the climax of a good show of silliness and sportsmanship. All the contestants gave it their best shot but there was no evidence of the petty rivalry and backstabbing so often found backstage in such beauty pageants, just a sense of fun and camaraderie. I'm afraid I can't do justice to a description of the event. I was backstage myself "get- ging to know the contestants." Besides, you just had to be there. There are many who feel Britt Varcoe was the obvious choice for the position, that it should not have gone to "an outsider." But the decision, though made "in the heat of the moment", was largely by the force of the crowd, so there can be no real complaint. Actually, all six contestants were winners: Dapper Dan Tohill, Mr. Henderson Beach, Britt Varcoe, golden- voiced Maurice Moses, Allan Crane, Mr. Lockyer Road, Kevin Shepherd, and Mr. Softball, Jim Dawson. They proved they had the jam and made it a good evening for everyone. d Sunshine Interiors Home Decorating Centre Need help with problem windows?

Gibsons $86"8187 Coast News, July 14, 1981 Two, one acts readied Suncoast Players bv Vena Pamell "Quiet, please, lights. Ac- lion." The mood of the high drama ol the theatre is created ihrou^h these simple directions. Vet. the work thai goes Into ihe creation of the art form known as live theatre is a vasl network of talent and effort, Like the impressive iceberg, the power of the lip that is showing comes from its largely hidden presence. The Suncoast Players, Ihe coast's newest dramatic group, encompassing talent from all corners of our Sunshine Coast, is launched on a new venture only six months .d'ter its highly successful "Arsenic and Old Lace" pre- -.dilation in January. This time, Ihe enthusiastic Players are rehearsing five days a week to prepare for the upcoming Sunshine Coast Arts Festival August 4-15. 1 hey will present two one-act plays. John Mortimer's, The Lunch Hour, ' and Anton Chekhov's, The Bear, and, for ihe occasion; they are building a revolving stage which will become an important asset to the, theatre group in future .productions. A special bonus in these productions is the talent being donated by Vancouver actor- director Bill Murdoch. An experienced director who has takeji to heart the advice that ���Jfte only.way to learn this .tmswss is;ro dp it", Murdoch is completing work, on a Master's Degree in Directing from UBC, while employed at Capilano College in North Vancouver, teaching backstage design. While working towards his Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts at the University of Victoria, Murdoch iwas involved in productions at Langham Court Theatre and later spent three years touring across Canada-'Wrth Compaay One- performing original theatre productions. Having worked as a professional actor in TV commercials and feature films, Mur doch enjoys the stimulation of community theatre groups, and attributes the development of his career to "amateur companies, where 1 got my start". He has performed with theatre groups in Vernon, Kamloops, North Vancouver, Calgary and Victoria, and has been in Vancouver productions at Metro Theatre, City Stage and The Playhouse. For his acting work in an industrial film by oil producers in Alberta, he was awarded for "Ihe best performance by an actor in the role of a narrator" in an Alberta film maker's competition. Murdoch has words of praise for the Suncoast Players, "an incredibly well- organized and talented group of people" and is convinced the production and performances of the upcoming plays will be of professional calibre. Although he has directed "The Lunch Hour" before at UBC, Murdoch finds that actors Nest Lewis, Pat Murphy and Val Tomkies wiH change the play because they will lend their unique touches to it. "The lines read differently with different actors playing the roles." Murdoch feels the two one-act plays will blend in well with the theme of this year's Arts Festival "The Magic of Masks". "To quote John Mortimer: Telling the truth is often a great concealment; we are given away by what we pretend to be. "In The Lunch Hour, a comic rendezvous between a clothing firm executive and a secretary who meet in a north London rooming house for a iunchtime fling, the sexual adventure never materializes because both seem to prefer the romance they imagine rather than the reality of an affair.^ j* .'"They bo'tli'flideBehind the' masks of the romantic fantasies they have created about each other. In the end. the mask the man has created to cover his deception defeats him. and she hides behind his story to avoid the situation. "The manageress, played by Val Tomkies, can be involved in the situation as long as they go on pretending they arc meeting for other reasons than the real sexual motive. "In The Bear, the widow hides behind her mask of mourning, which is a romantic, idealized vision of herself as a martyr. Her world Is intruded upon by the bear, an eathy landowner who invades her Victorian respectability and dispassionateness. Although he hides behind the mask of hating women, they find that underneath they are attracted to each other and in the end their masks fall away and they come together on a basic man-woman level. "The two plays are a good contrast to each other. The Lunch Hour is a cold winter play and the emptiness df city- bred sexuality based on lies is reflected in the drab, depressing set. "The Bear is a summer play, full of the vitality of the country, where the man and woman are struggling with their desires and attempt to deny their feelings, which surface in the end." In their second week of rehearsals. The Lunch Hour lead actors listen to Murdoch, learning stage directions, lines, cues and character expressions. Realtor Pat Murphy, wearing a large overcoat, becomes the inept, anxious, would-be lecher and Nest Lewis, former Home Economics teacher who shares tasty recipes in The Coast News every week, becomes the shy, nervous secretary whose romantic visions of an affair are rapidly- disappearing under the onslaught of the seedy surround:, ings and the talkative landlady. The rehearsals are serious work and take long hours, and there is the travelling time home afterward from Sechelt Elementary School to Gibsons. Middlepoint and Halfmoon Bay. Bill Murdoch is present every evening, while squeezing in other professional commitments in Vancouver. The Bear, with actors Richard Tomkies and Gordon and Judith Wilson, rehearses alternate evenings. Many hours are being put in by other dedicated amateur theatre lovers up and down the coast. Marshall Rae of Madeira ���'ark is building the revolving stage, Joan Rae will manage ticket sales. Joe Harrison of Pender Harbour is designing both sets; Glen Skidmore will do lighting; Ellen Ryan is in charge of costuming with the help of Elizabeth Wilson and Margaret Porter. Deirdre Murphy, assisted by her sister ^SM ��� Von,' Pamell Pholo Suncoasl Players actors Pat Murphy, centre, and Nest lewis accept direction from Bill Murdoch, left in "The Lunch Hour'" rehearsal at Sechelt Elemenlary School, r/d HGHTECH^ RADIALS 2& Stephanie, is stage manager for The Lunch Hour and Dodie Marshall, assisted by daughter Kenna. will stage manage The Bear. Ronnie Dunn is in charge of makeup, Susan Brookes is props manager, and in addition there are numerous behind-the-scenes helpers who make the Suncoast Players the vital group that it is. They will add an important dimension to the second annual Arts Festival celebrations with their six performances throughout August b-15. Acting is a mask and live theatre is an enjoyable expression of that other world (hat exists in our minds, imaginations and fantasies. Come watch the Suncoast Players pretend and be prepared for a most entertaining double-header special.

"For All Your Building Needs" loll FlH p From Vancwrei SWIShine Gibsons coast 888-8141 Hwy., Gibsons Coast News, July 14, 1981 15 Editor: Recently we received a call from an irate Sunshine Coast resident complaining of the atrocious condition of our transmission line rights-of-way at Stewart Road. The caller explained that he frequently walks the area and was appalled at the amount of garbage strewn about. He felt that it was B.C. Hydro's responsibility and obligation to maintain a clean right-of-way. I visited the site on July 3. I98I. and saw garbage of every description scattered about. This shows the total disrespect a few people have for other people's property, be it Hydro or private. Over the past few years we have removed garbage, old cars and junk of every description. We have posted signs prohibiting dumping of the garbage and have personally phoned individuals asking them to remove old cars and other debris with no results. We haven't said too much to anyone concerning this, bul have gone on our way cleaning up after them, thinking someday these people would smarten up. We now have reached a point of handing over to the authorities all evidence wc find at these sites and I hope they get better results in their discussions than we did. Therefore, if these individuals feel they have a complaint about garbage dumping facilities in the Gibsons area, please, contact the proper authorities with their concerns. Don't leave their problems with us because its everyone's dollars we're using to clean up the mess. Thank you for you co-operation in this matter. Yours truly A.F. Polok Acting District Manager B.C. Hydro and Power Authority & Water threatened Seaside scavengers Editor: We are living in our own home at Roberts Creek and have had no water for 10 months. We have had our well polluted and our water line, in the process of legalization, vandalized; a water line that cost a lot of money and effort to install. Water rights have been denied for 10 months. Water is essential to life. That the family of someone who fought for this country in the R.A.F. and worked for 20 years as a teacher In the area should not only be denied water rights, but be barred from access to nearby water, is unreal. This when there is a small child involved. Good ol' B.C. Maureen Paquette, Roberts Creek, B.C. Editor I too share Mr. Vince Bra- cewell's concern over people removing things from our Provincial Parks. I also went to the Skookum- chuck on July 1st, but not to see the magnificient tidal performance. I went instead to see the "Salty golden colored pods of Bladder Wack" - but much to my dismay aoaae- one had eaten them!! So again Mr. Bracewell I agree with you, we must stop the children from collecting sea shells and star ftshl "Hell" the next thing you know the little buggers will be collecting butterflies and tadpoles and all other kinds of neat things that kids do in the summertime. Alex Ross Roberts Creek Bicycle Rodeo Property owners object Ed. Note: We have received a copy of the following letter, addressed to: Province of British Columbia, Ministry of Environment, Victoria, B.C. V8V1X5 Dear Sirs: Re application Pebble Holdings Ltd. Under "Legals" in the June 30, 1981 "The Press", of Sechelt, B.C., there is an application for a permit under Pollution Control Act (Effluent), made by Pebble Holdings Ltd., of P.O. Box 1219, Sechelt, B.C. The property Is westerly 10 acres of D.L. 6087 G.P.I. We, the property owners close to this proposed subdivision, object for the following reasons: 1) We have one of the few areas left, on the Sunshine Coast, where you can still dig clams and eat oysters that are not in polluted waters. 2) We now swim in non- polluted waters. 3) This area is zoned one half acre minimum-allowing approximately two acres for roads, this 10 acre area will only have space for a maximum 16 lots. 4) The lots that haven't sufficient soil for a regular septic tank can still have a type of treatment that does not have to end up in Malaspina Straits. Why is this application for 30 lot subdivision when applicant knows that this is zoned for one half acre .minimum? All signers of this objection have been successful in putting in treatments that was kept on the land-why should a developer be allowed to pollute when, at very little additional cost, he can offer a non- polluting solution. It states at the end of the application, "This application, dated on May 28, 1981, was posted on the ground in accordance with the Pollution Control Regulations. D.H. Shuttleworth & Associates Ltd." This is to inform you that we have been down the new road on D.L. 6087 many times before, and once since the application was published, and there is no sign of a notice being posted. We also walked along the waterfront, and saw no posting there. No way should this application be granted as it is only zoned for half acre lots and the residents of the area are opposed. Prospective buyers are willing to pay for the lots Editor: We would like to express our gratitude for your generous donation of advertising and publicity about the Gibsons RCMP Bicycle Rodeo which was held on Sunday, July S, 1981. Without your assistance the Bicycle Rodeo would not have been possible. We feel that this rodeo helped to promote Sea Cavalcade Queen Fashion Show plans are well under way for July IS at Bonniebrook Lodge, under the co-ordination of Pam Suveges.

It is time a stand is taken on stopping pollution as much as possible. Both Secret Cove and the Pender Harbour area, which are both within a few miles of us, are polluted. Subject property is very like ours and has ample area and soil to provide for an on- sight disposal system, or a single, on-sight system, when lots are a minimum of one half acre. It comes to this: Who should be considered, the people that live in the area, and want to keep pollution down, or the developer, who is only interested in makng as much money as he can, then leaving the problems to the people of the area? Signed by 19 local residents. Seen our dog? Editor: On Tuesday evening, July 7, at 7 p.m. our wonderful dog "Sky" was lost at Gibsons. We live and work in Vancouver and must rely on the effort of the community here to help us locate Sky. The dog is quite large, dark grey in colour and looks like a bear. He is quite shy and friendly. We believe the only way to find him is with the help of everyone here looking for him. A special thanks to Mrs. Smith and this newspaper for their co-operation.

A 10' fibreglass dinghy was reported lost. It is white with a brown trim and a brown motor. It was lost in the Granthams Landing area. On the 8th: At 22:00 hours on a mountain access gravel road in the Reed and Henry Road area, local man Michael McKinnon was pinned under his truck when it slid on top of him when he was attempting to fix it after it had become stuck. The truck slid 150 feet into a gulley. McKinnon was taken to St. Mary's with minor injuries. Police rescued the truck: the ambulance crew and the Tire department responded to the call. Police are still receiving numerous reports of bears being sighted and caution the public to avoid confrontation vtith the animals. On the 9th!

On the 3rd: A green van was stolen from Cowrie Street and recovered shortly after the theft, when it was still being driven by the thief. Charges will be laid against both the thief and theownerof the van, who is being charged with leaving his vehicle unsecured. Police advise that in view of the recent rash of vehicle thefts, owners of unsecured vehicles reported stolen will be charged with having an unsecured vehicle. An unsecured vehicle is defined as being any vehicle with keys which have been left either in or out of the ignition. Stolen cars are rarely hotwired any more.

A petition protesting the commercial mobile stands was presented to Neighbourhood Pub Michael Ryan from Fjord Design in Sechelt has been instructed by council to place an advertisement stating his intentions to apply for a Type' D' liquor license for a Neighbourhood Pub in the village. Council discussed the implications of this matter at the Wednesday night council meeting. The 65 seat neighbourhood pub proposition, it was decided, would have to be the decision of the village residents and the matter is to go to Public Hearing. Sechelt Council Comprises Section 4 of By-law 222 that had met with considerable opposition at the June 10 Public Hearing was read for the third time at the Sechelt council meeting last Wednesday. The by-law dealt with the reduction of off-street parking spaces in the village from the current size of 10 feet by 20 feet to VA by 18 feet. Sechelt villagers attending, strongly opposed this reduction. Gibsons Council news Sewers for Bluff discussed The council has since opted to go with the Department of Highways recommendation of reducing the sizes to 9 feet by 19 feet. One of the arguments against reduction was that many of the pick-up trucks and recreational vehicles would not fit in the smaller parking spaces. Application Turndown , In the last few months, Sechelt village council has received two petitions regarding the re-zoning of Block B, Block 11 D.L. 304 (North side of Cowrie Street) from residential to commercial. One petition was for the re-zoning and one against. The matter was referred to the planner for the Village of Sechelt, John Northey. His recommendation to council was received at last week's council meeting. Northey recommended that the application for re-zoning by Peter Gordon and Northest Communications, (Ian Hunter) be turned down at this time. Council accepted the planner's recommendation. the SCRD last week. - Fran Bourassa photo Petition from Davis Bay Mobile markets condemned The regional board received a petition from Davis Bay residents and businessmen protesting the commercial enterprises selling their assorted food products on the beach near the government wharf. The petition was signed by 23 persons 'most immediately affected' from both the residential and commercially zoned areas along Highway 101. The covering letter by the bearer of the petition, E.A. Cuylits repeated some of the area residents' concerns: The congestion of cars around the mobile merchants causing a potential traffic hazard; that the enterprises were contravening the zoning by-law; that the impact of these was direct competition to the established enterprises which pay considerable taxes; that the mobile units were unsightly. The petition also states that these commercial enterprises are being licensed by the Government Agent in Sechelt. The SCRD has been asked to take the matter in hand to insure that the issuing of this type of licence be brought under their direct or indirect control. "This is a distressing anomaly", states the petition, "The SCRD was created to ensure the orderly development of the Sunshine Coast- Now we find that another arm of government can issue a commercial licence which allows people lo ply their trade anywhere, without regard for the zoning regulations, we, the residents, have to live by." The SCRD made a motion in this regard to send a copy of the petition to the Government Agent. They will also refer the matter to the Department of Highways and ask them to post a sign prohibiting the activities of the mobile commercial enterprises. The RCMP will also be notified of the petition. The board believes, as the petition states, that these activities do contravene the zoning by-law and is fast becoming a traffic hazard. Sewer Plan for Bluff The fate of Gibsons bluff sewer project is still undecided, council informed Bob Maxwell of Gibsons, who questioned the possible financing of the capital works program. Mayor Lorraine Goddard told Maxwell that despite the expected high costs of installing sewers in the rocky bluff area, a Sublic referendum in 1972 voted that all village residents should ave sewer service. Gibsons residents are taxed $110 annually to pay for the debt of the existing sewer program and additional funds would have to be borrowed to finance the expensive bluff project. Goddard told Maxwell that a specified area charge for bluff residents would be instituted if government grant money will not be forthcoming to help finance the bluff sewers. Final figures on the bluff sewer project are not available, as government grants towards the project have not been finalized, Municipal Administrator Jack Copland told the Coast News. Sign By-Law Receives Final Approval Gibsons Sign By-Law No. 399 received final approval in a special meeting of council July 8 and has been sent to Victoria for ratification. The sign by-law became the subject of controversy when Mitten Realty in lower Gibsons was not allowed to erect a $5,000 lighted sign because it contravened the sign regulations for the lower village area. Other lower Gibsons businesses have awaited the passing of the by-law with interest, since the new by-law sets sign standards that will co-ordinate the entire downtown area according to the proposed plan for the expected downtown revitalization program. Council received a letter from Kevin Ryan Architectural Services accepting to undertake the production of a Design Handbook which will specify the architectural theme for the lower village area. The printing of the design study will be paid by Gibsons planning budget, which this year comes to $8,000. Two- thirds of planning expenses are reimbursed by the provincial government. Municipal Administrator Jack Copland told the Coast News, This year's planning budget will also cover a portion of the cost of hiring planner Rob Buchan to co-ordinate a comprehensive planning study of all of Gibsons. The $5,000 cost of Ryan's design study for the lower downtown area is covered by a provincial Downtown Revitalization grant. ���r��'iw.j)Jlla����,a�� I THE ONLY WAY TO GO UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT AGNES LABONTE TOURS ��� TICKETS ��� CHARTERS ��� INSURANCE Mon. - Sat. 9:30 - 5:00 886-2522 Suite #104 R.R. #2 Gibsons, B.C.

What's so great about bird- ing, anyway? Did you ever wonder why all those crazies go tromping around the marshes, slippy slide on muddy forest trails, get eaten by mosquitoes in swamps, risk snake bites while crawling up rocks, or get seasick on ocean cruises? What motivates a person to spend so much time chasing after an elusive little bird heard calling in the brambles? Out of many reasons for going birding, these are what come first to my mind. Birding takes me outdoors to get some exercise, which feels good. Hiking does that too, but birding adds the excitement of the hunt-seeking something elusive, which may or may not be found. Looking for birds adds purpose to the common hike, besides just "getting somewhere". I used .to hike to reach a destination. Now the destination is secondary, and what I see along the way takes precedence. Birding can be done anywhere at any time of year. The quest takes the birder to some of the most beautiful out of the way places. At the same time, birding can be just as fascinating looking out the living room window. Birding can be done in solitude or in groups. People of all ages can participate and enjoy.

Welcome to the Sunshine Cotot Gordon & Liz Best Wishes for a vtny succwoM foturt with Gibsons Kitchen Cenrtr*.���>;���'��������� Valencia Developments uljfc all need self-esteem and the respect of other people. Aldo Leopold in A Sand Country Almanac, discusses the concept of "trophy" as a way in which we prove to ourselves and others that we have done well. In primitive societies "trophy" means hunting an eagle as demonstration of the man's abilities, and then making a headdress out of the feathers. "Trophy" means the animal with the biggest horns or the largest fish, often mounted on the sportsman's wall as lasting evidence of his or her prowess. With the advent of the leisure society and the decreasing need for demonstrating prowess by hunting, man's continuing need for self- esteem has branched into cups and plaques for the winners of sports events, for the best cow or apple pie at the fair, or the best flower arrangement. Also collections of various types are a kind of trophy similar to hunting: shells, rocks, stamps, butterflies, postcards. You name it, someone collects it. To have one of every kind in the world is the ultimate trophy for the collector. The birder gets his or her sense of satisfaction from collecting without collecting. The Life List and maybe a set of photographs suffice as a lasting trophy of his or her Postal strike Cheque pick-up It is hard to believe that this column is now one year old I It was the first week in July 196X1 that I made a proposal to the readers of the Coast News, to keep them posted on the location and availability of seafood, both for the housewife and for those who wish to dine out. The title of the column is self-explanatory. The nom-de- plume, Chak-Chak, is the Coastal Indians' name for the bald eagle, whose habit is to perch in a lofty tree near the seashore where he can observe the presence of his next meal. At the head of the column is seen the West Coast Indian stylized form depicting Chak-Chak in flight. In his talons he clutches Gal-Quith the codfish who was regarded as the symbol of a bountiful supply of seafood by the native people of Bella Bella. This should serve to answer the many questions I have received in regard to the origin of this column's masthead. Now, for the benefit of those people who have a French ethnic background! As Tuesday, July 14th, is Bastille Day, I thought the following recipe would provide a novel "bonne Douche" for your dinnerparty. This is "Poisson Cru" from the French influenced culinary capital of Polynesia, Tahiti. The term 'poisson cru' literally means raw fish. This recipe is similar to the recipe for Latin American type "ceviche" that I gave you in the May 19th issue this spring. This one is milder as it does not have the bite of hot chillies. birding abilities. And just as with hunting, the thrill of the hunt is there, getting outdoors and seeking the sometimes scarce quarry. The rarities become special events, but only appreciated if the commonalities are well known. Seeing a peregrine falcon for the first time and being able to identify it is to the birder what shooting a four point buck is to the hunter. The suspense and feeling of exhilaration are there, and the tick mark on the list is not going to upset the balance of nature. "PobaonOra" (to serve six) 2 lbs. skinned, boneless halibut or fresh tuna steaks, cut IVi inches thick 1 cup strained fresh lime juice (or bottle) '/> cup- coarsely chopped onions 2 teaspoons salt 3 medium-sized firm ripe tomatoes, stemmed, peeled and coarsely chopped '/j cup coarsely chopped scallions, including 2 inches ofgreen tops '/�� cup coarsely chopped sweet green bell peppers 2 hard-cooked eggs, coarsely chopped 1 cup rich cocoanut top milk, chilled (To make cocoanut milk, add equal parts of shredded cocoanut and hot water and blend in an electric blender for 1 min., then squeeze through a double thickness of cheesecloth. Let stand in 'fridge for 1 hr. then skim off the thicker top milk.) Chill the fish briefly in the freezer in order to firm the meat and make it easier to cut with a sharp knife into pieces 'A inch thick and l'/t Inches square. Mix the lime juice, fish, onions and salt together in a deep bowl. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 2 hrs. or 3-4 hrs. In 'fridge. Stir occasionally. When done, the fish will be opaque and fairly firm; if not, marinate 1 hr. or so longer. Then drain the fish and toss gently in a bowl with all ingredients. Serve in individual small bowls or abalone shells or large oyster shells lined with lettuce leaves. Sea you. Ministry of Human Resources cheques for June were all mailed several days before the start of the current postal strike. There will be few, if any, situations where clients have not received their cheques. Anyone who has not received a Ministry of Human Resources cheque should contact the local office. Arrangements can be made for a duplicate cheque issue in cases of hardship. If the postal strike continues, the Ministry will make arrangements for July cheques to be distributed through Human Resources district Offices. Arrangements for picking up of cheques at Ministry offices will be announced in the local news media. These cheques will include Gain Income Assistance payments, Gain for Seniors, payment to foster parents, group homes and day care operators, as well as Safer cheques.

From the Fairway by Ernie Home The Ladies Club Championship Tournament was held last July 7th, 8th and 9th. After 54 holes, Connie Grant retained her championship form to remain Club Champion for another year. Her 3-day total of 251 for the tournament held off the determined bid of Virginia Douglas, who shot a steady 257 for second place. Third place went to Doreen Mathews with a gross score of 270. Low net for the tournament was taken by Pat Vaughn shooting 196. The first day of the tournament was also used to qualify for the forthcoming Sea Cavalcade two day event. The ladies who managed to qualify were Connie Grant, Virginia Douglas, Dodie Grant, Phil Hendy, Eileen Evans, Dot Utterback. Lil Fraser and Doreen Gregory qualified as spares. The nine-hole players competed in a Tombstone Tournament. In this game, each player is allowed to use par strokes plus half their handicap. After the allowable strokes are used the player is eliminated. The player who can go the farthest around the course in the allowable strokes is the winner. In this case the winner was Edna Fisher, followed by Lila Chambers. Much planning and course grooming is being planned for the forthcoming N.H.A. tournament to be held August 12th and 13th. Many entries will be here from all over the lower mainland to compete in this province-wide event. The garage sale is fast approaching. The club still requires any spare goods you may have been storing around the shed and basement. If you have any such items you would like to donate, please contact Helen Milburn or Stan Patterson. Remember the date - July 25th, Roberts Creek Hall. Greig Grant and his Sea Cavalcade tournament committee are making steady progress in the planning of this very important event for August 1st and 2nd. The many details that each section of the club are responsible for are gradually falling into place. Monday Twilight golfers had an entry of 28 to play in a two-person team, using alternate shots and counting putts. Isobel Cowley and Bud Montgomery recorded a score of 33 'A for first place. The team of Olive Shaw ans Ed Pinker- ton used 18 putts to win the putting section of the game. Wednesday Twilight played a straight low gross, low net tournament. Dean Warnes low gross 35 was the best for the evening. The 27Vi score by Cliff Lindsey took low net, Gordy Scott's 13 putts for nine holes was the winner in the putting contest. Thursday morning old timers again had a large turnout. The event chosen for the day's play was an irons only contest. The four man team of Alec Warner, Ole Johan- sen, Al Boyes and Bill Lawrence turned in a low score of 60 to capture first place. Tuesday July 15th the Powell River ladies will be at Sunshine Coast Golf Club for their inter-club tournament. Fastball tournament The RCMP is hosting their second annual Fastball Tournament in Sechelt on the 18th and the 19th in Hackett Park this July.

Mr. Doug Fielding made the comment "I take it Mrs. Cameron does't belong to "Greenpeace". "No! Definitely not", emphasized Mrs. Cameron. Freight rates and transportation costs came under discussion. As usual Pender Harbour has a high rate, more than for shipping to the interior. We pay for time-and-a half, as trucks return to depot empty. Ab Haddock and Peter Grabenhof will meet with a traffic co-ordinator to try to come up with a cheaper service for local residents. Roy Mansfield, Membership Chairman, now has cards and badges and will start his membership drive. It was voted and passed to raise membership fees, private membership to $25, business $50. Mr. Lowe proposed the $25 to include man and wife, to which Mr. Doug Fielding said, "That's o.k. but she shouldn't have a vote!" All women present stood and glared at Mr. Fielding. Mr. Fielding, never the shrinking violet, laughed and said, "My cards are on the table." Ginny clamp down on him! On a more serious vein, Chamber Chairman Mr. Harold Clay suggested we read our local newspapers to keep up to date on our incorporation evidently it's being done for us, whether we like it or not. According to the Coast News last week, we do have a vote on the options offered. Our area representative will be on holidays during the next few vital talks and discussion. I wonder who is being appointed to look after our affairs through these most important issues. The guest speaker at the chamber meeting was Mr. Oliver Coombes, consulting engineer from MacLaren Plansearch Corporation, a consulting firm hired by the provincial government to conduct, investigate, and make a formal plan for the foreshore harbour. Mr. Coombes, a very highly qualified young man, seems to be very much in charge of the situation and gave the chamber executive a brief outline of what his job entails. He intends to meet with as many groups, private citizens, tourists, oldtimers, waterfront owners and upland owners as possible, in order to garner information to supply the provincial government with reasons why Pender Harbour should try to grow. This is not the first time the government has made a harbour plan. Ladysmith has a similar plan, copies of which Mr. Coombes passed around the table for the chamber to study. Questionnaires and newspaper ads with public hearings will be held over the next few months. Most importantly, Mr. Coombes will accept letters with your views which will be taken into consideration.

Cowries, /IK WORLD eFJES Coast News, July 14,1981 21 Sea Cavalcade Queen Candidates bv Samlv Loani One of the greatest charms of gardening is tossing in a wee nub of a stick, more to get it out of the way and give it a fighting chance than with any great expectations. Two or three years later this glorious giant shrub presents itself...slathered with thousands of tiny pink feathery flowers., They are clustering around the roses, mixing it up with the Snapdragons and spilling over my window sill. The shrub is Deutzia and I had never seen it in pink before. Last year it had about three miserable tiny flowers and 1 almost didn't , allow it garden room but this ; year it has been breathtaking ��� for three weeks now and shows no sign of abating or wilting with very little water. These are truly lovely shrubs and are very easy to root (with our ever necessary Root Tone), but obviously patience is required. This plant lasts well indoors and seems to tie the perennials together nicely. It is an agreeable companion for double ��� Sandy Loam Pholo Mock Orange and a happy surprise for me. It's funny how nature tries to compensate for errors in weather such as miserable wet uncomfortable springs. Many plants are doing better than they normally do. In particular the Snapdragons, in their second year are splendid; it seems a perfect year for Geraniums and Petunias so it would seem to be a pink year... All the pinks I see are clear, unstreaked and unfaded. My Sunflowers didn't bother to come up at all, I am on my third box of "Slug Death" and still inundated but relentless in doing my daily rounds with machete and clippers. One thing always balances off another.... Look at how green the grass is (and how often is requires cutting). Anyway it's hammock snoozing time if your garden is all cleaned up so relax with a good book and the feet up. Cheryl Roberts.

These seem- ingly plump little squirrels have very large eyes and small -ears. They have a broad fold of skin on either side of the body used as a parachute-like ���membrane. When they jump -from tree to tree they stretch this fold of skin out between -the front and hind legs and f'lide to their destination, hey have considerable control over this glide and before taking off they can be seen closely looking to judge the distance and direction they must travel to their chosen landing spot. If forced to make "��. hasty jump, they may miss I.their goal and land on the ground, or even in water. While in the glide, the flying squirrel can slacken or tighten :the flying membrane or dip .'the legs from one side or the other and bank or turn sharply. The tail plays a very important part in the glide and acts as a rudder. To land, the tail is raised and this brings the body horizontal with the tree so they always land feet first. They have a peculiar habit of racing to the opposite 'side of the tree upon landing. Flying squirrels have been seen changing their minds in mid flight and turning around to land on the spot they had just left. ;! Most North American flying squirrels have brown fur with .white underparts but I recent- <( Van ftp Jfootisi 886X930 ly heard of an albino found in this area. They rest during the daytime in cozy nests made of dry leaves, shredded bark, moss, feathers and fur. These nests are located in hollows in trees, often an abandoned woodpecker nest. They have also been found in roof spaces, outbuildings and bird houses. During the fall, flying squirrels tend to rest in large groups in a community nest. When the weather is very bad these groups go into a state of semi-torpidity and sleep for days. They do not hibernate and can be seen in late fall hoarding nuts and seeds to feed on during the winter. Their diet is nuts, seeds, fruit, lichen, bark and insects. Breeding takes place from February to late March and the gestation period is 40 days. There are from two to six babies in a litter. They are born totally helpless, being naked, pink and blind. The eyes open at 25-28 days and weaning begins at five weeks. The knack of 'flying' does not come instinctively and the mother does much to train the babies during their early learning stages. Often the young squirrel will miscalculate and fall to the ground and the mother will fly down to retrieve it and carry it back up the tree in her mouth. Being totally nocturnal their main enemy is the owl. There is one other threat they must contend with and that is the loss of habitat through logging. Many a family of flying squirrels has been found homeless as a result of the buzzing of a chain-saw. Thankfully, some of the chain- saw operators have been concerned anough for the squirrels to relocate them and some even have brought helpless young ones home to be nursed and released when old enough.

The planning process is now underway and the public is invited to be involved as early as possible in the process. The purpose of the Plan is to ensure efficient and effective management of the foreshore resources of Pender Harbour. The final Plan will be similar to a land use (zoning) plan except that it will cover the water area of the Harbour'and not the land. The map contained in the final Plan will display areas within the Harbour designated for specific uses and guidelines developed for their management. The approximate area to be encompassed by the Plan is that defined as Pender Harbour by the Canadian Hydrographical Services' Marine Chart, "Malaspina Strait" (Sheet 3535, April 1978). The success of the Plan depends, in a large part, upon the public informing the Consultant of foreshore use issues that should be addressed. These issues when coupled with information on the resources of the area will form the basis of the Plan. Several alternative working plans will be developed for public review from which a final foreshore Plan will be prepared. Individuals or groups are invited to submit their observations and concerns in writing to: MacLaren Plansearch Corp. 750 West Pender Street Vancouver, B.C. V6C 2T7 The consultant will review all comments and include (the public's views in developing the objectives of the Plan. The name of the group of individuals will be placed on a mailing list and they will be contacted directly during the next phase of the process. Notices will also be published as the process i proceeds. Province of British Columbia Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing Honourable James R. Chabol.

Hydro for burying 500-kilo- volt electrical cables at four shoreline locations along the route of the Cheekye-Duns- muir transmission link from the B.C. mainland to Vancouver Island. The work, at points where the cables emerge from beneath Georgia and Malaspina straits, will be undertaken by Penner Brothers Utilities of Surrey and Webb and Trace of Victoria. Penner Brothers was awarded a $2.3 million contract for work,at Cape Cockburn on the west coast of Nelson Island and on the west coast of Texada Island. Webb and Trace received a $3 million contract for work at Nile Creek on the east coast of Vancouver Island and on the east coast of Texada Island. The contracts are for excavation of four trenches at each location, each trench 1.5 to two metres deep, from the low water mark to onshore cable terminal stations; installation of cooling water pipe systems and burial of the cables under concrete covers. A contract was awarded earlier this year to Dillingham Corporation for underwater excavation of trenches to protect the cables from the low water mark out to a depth of 20 metres. The trenches will provide shoreline protection for the cables from hazards such as erosion and boat anchors. Beyond the 20-metre depth, the cables will rest on the seabed. The submarine cables, 150 millimetres in diameter, are being manufactured in Europe and will be the world's longest 500-kV underwater power cables. Total distance of the two underwater crossings is 37.1 kilometres. ASSESSMENT CLERK As a member of the clerical support team, an experienced career oriented clerical person is required by the B.C.

(1) Excess sun causes the skin to age qujckly. The skin becomes dry, leathery and wrinkled. (2) People who excessively expose themselves to the sun year after year run a greater risk of developing cancer. (3) Drugs tan cause the skin to be more sensitive to the sun: these drugs include - - Anticonvulsant drugs -A.S.A. - Sulfa drugs] such as Bactrim'. Septra8, Novotimox�� and Sulfisoxa/ole. - Tetracycline. - Hydrochloriothia/.ide(Hydro- diuril��). ' This list is not inclusive as there are other drugs that cause photosensitivity. Please consult your pharmacist. What can be done? Sunscreens are used for the prevention of sunburn and may prevent long term side effects from the sun. Which sunscreen or suntan lotion should be used? Most products today have a number on them ranging from 2 to 17, depending on the protection the product gives. 2 - 4 should be used by people who always tan and never burn. S - 6 should be used by people who burn moderately and tan gradually. 7 - 8 should be used by people who always burn easily and tan minimally. 9 -17 are used by people who burn easily and never tan. Sunbathers will require more than one preparation. Start the season with a high numbered product to condition the skin. As the season progresses, use a product that gives less protection. End the summer with a product that affords the least protection. For example a #2 to #4. To apply these products, spread liberally on the skin before going out into the sun. Reapply lotion when necessary as it comes off when perspiring and swimming. Happy tanning! Mi i. ����- '>*" m i^tpw S-*m\\ ov*%^ iiii!iin|i!iii i h \\\sr.*&t��\ ^V'k t&m Ir NAME. ADDRESS.

Send your entries to the (oast News, Box 460, (iibsons. in time to reach the newspaper office by Saturday of this week. Last week's $5.00 winner was Debbie Williams of K.K. M. Keed Road. Gibsons, who correctly identified the location of garbage left on the B.C. Hydro right-of-wat above langdale (reek, near Stewart Road in Gibsons. The return of Gibsons building inspector Ralph Jones from holidays is necessary to resolve the problem of the Seaview Road mix-up, which has raised the ire of Gibsons residents, Gary and Helene Wallinder. In what was described as a "comedy of errors" by Alderman Bill Edney at Tuesday's council meeting. Mayor Goddard reviewed the sequence of events leading up to the explosive meeting between Helene Wallinder, owner of Attic Antiques and owners of the newly-built townhouse development on Seaview Road. The meeting occurred on the morning of June 19, when B.A. Blacktop arrived to pave part of the Attic Antique parkingarea to widen the access to Seaview Road and Highway 101. "It was never the intention of council to get into a situation where we would take away private property without proper procedure and discussions". Mayor Goddard told the Wallinders. "We had agreed verbally to trade a portion of village property in exchange for part of the parking lot beside our business, but the trade was never linali/cd, no plans were drawn up and nothing was ever signed." Gary Wallinder told council. "It the road had been put in, we would be stuck with it and it would take years to straighten it out afterwards." Village planner Rob Buchan told council that on June 15, townhouse owners Grant and Peters had come to the village to seek approval for the project, engineered by Doug Roy, for paving Seaview Road in front of the townhouses to Highway 101 and Killarney l.ane behind the new development. "Part of the new paving included a widened access from Seaview Road to Highway 101. which would require half of the present parking area of Attic Antiques. "I had been told by Mr. Jones that Mrs. Wallinder had a copy of the proposed plans and that he would speak to her about final approval of them before he left on holidays that week." Helene Wallinder told council she had never been shown any plans or proposals by the village until the morning the proposed paving work was to be done. "I now have a plan, which was given to me by the townhouse owners and we still don't know what offer the village is proposing in exchange for our property." Alderman Edney recalled that council had discussed various alternatives with the Wallinders in a meeting in April and the Wallinders agreed that the present access is dangerous. Suggestions were made at the time to turn Seaview into a one-way street coming on to Highway 101. or a cul-de-sac. "I agree something should be done to improve the present access, but as far as I know, nothing concrete was every finalized." Helene Wallinder slated. Council agreed to withhold paving and widening of Seaview Road until an agreement was reached with the Wallinders. "We want a plan and written proposal sent to us, complete with legal descriptions of all the properties involved," Gary Wallinder told council. "The friendly manner of settling this matter has not worked for us and we want everything to be in writing from now on."

School Board news : playgrounds, report cards, philosophy Continued from Page One Bowen Island Playground Bowen Island's Community School's playground remains wet and virtually unusable because of a lack of co-operation between two levels of government. The Department of Highways blames the contractors. CM Projects, saying they knew all along there would be a drainage problem and they should have done something about it in the first place. CM Projects admits this is the case but hoped they'd he able to persuade the Department of Highways to extend a culvert to accommodate the school plans. So far the Department refuses to co-operate, but is willing to consider the extension of a ditch near to the playing fields if CM Projects can satisfy them that there will not be any erosion, or do rainfall and absorption tests. Halfmoon Bay The Department of Lands and Forests plans to develop a large parcel of Crown land in the Redrooffs area for residential use and the School Board is in communication with (hem to acquire 5 acres for school use; if possible adjacent to the recreational park. Difficulties centre around the Ministry's timetable and the needs of the Halfmoon Hay community for a larger school. Secretary Mills, reporting to the School Board, agreed to continue to press Lands and Forests for an agreement in writing. Report Cards School report cards arc coming up for re-appraisal. The District's ad hoc committee, chaired by John Nicholson, with representatives of the Teacher's Association and parents. Mrs. Margaret Goldrup. from Madeira Park. Mrs. Arlenc Robinson from Cedar Grove and Mrs. Darlene McDougal from Sechelt. has been meeting since the beginning of the year and reported to the Board last week. Ihe Elementary Report cards presently used in the district were developed about 4 years ago. They arc colour-coded for Kindergarten. Primary and Intermediate grades and arc designed to identifv the child's school achievement in the teacher's perception of his her potential. No letter grades or attempts to compare performance with other children of the same age. By the Intermediate level, Grades 4 - 7 parents want to know how their children are doing compared to their peers and an insert is given at parent-teacher conferences, leaving the parent the option of sharing the information with the child. There has been some indication that parents prefer letter grades or percentages and wish to know where their child stands in relation to his her classmates. The Ministry of Education is also re-assessing methods and philosophy of reporting and issuing a series of statements. So far these appear to be following the same trend as local thinking, though Victoria would like to sec a K-grade 3 continuum in style, and also that Grade 7 children receive letter grades so that they are prepared for the transition to Junior Secondary schools. There seems to be a difference in philosphy between parents and teachers, and the Ministry is responding to parental concerns for the recognition of excellence and the improvement of basic skills, while teachers, who obviously look upon these issues as important too, are equally concerned for the individual child's development and needs in other areas and for the not so gifted child. All children need to receive credit for their achievement. Trustees expressed their concern that while meeting the Ministry's requirements all efforts should be made to give parents an option and to meet individual needs. Trustee Hodgins felt strongly, as a parent that he did not want letter grades for his children while in Grades 4 - 6 and that it's important to enhance the personal nature of the document and keep the close relationship between teacher and parent. "How can you give letter grades and teach to a child's needs?" he asked, donning his teacher's hat. Trustee Puchalski felt parents need an assessment of their child's capabilities and Trustee McKibbin asked whether the Ministry intends to bring back standardized province-wide testing. Draft Resolutions Three draft resolutions prepared by Trustee Hodgins. McKibbin and Lloyd were passed by the Board to the Management Committee for further consideration and to be incorporated into hiring policy after further discussion and Board 'approval. Each expressed the concern of trustees that community values and criteria for the hiring of teachers and most importantly principals, be not only made known to those hired, but be used in evaluation processes, and provisions made for a continuous update as the community evolves. It was suggested that at the Secondary level students also should be involved in the discussion of requirements and the sort of person they think should be a principal, in the hope that they will work to support the person chosen by such a process. School Board Statement of Philosophy "Do what the hell you want, but don't spend any more money" was the comment of one reply to the School Board's statement of Philosophy and Educational goals for this district. The Board mailed out 8,486 copies of their proposed statement to the community with pre-paid return-postage at a cost of $365. Only 70 (.82%) were returned for an additional cost of $14.56. At the time of writing it wasn't possible to ascertain the cost of paper and printing, but printing was done by Carson Graham School in North Vancouver to reduce costs. The Board decided to approve the statement of goals, as there had not been any great disagreement with their proposals and to make it available to teachers and principals asking the latter to submit their own goals for each individual school within this framework.
