*i��@ /*te The Sunshine fcvL ��� iecc Published at Gibsons, B.C. per copy on news stands pcond Class Mail Registration No. 4702 Serving Ihe Sunshine Coast since 1945 Delivered to every address on the Coast. June 10, 1980 Volume 34, Number 23 Bay residents protest Motocross causes concern Failure to communicate and unfortunate timing have thrown a hitch into one Sea Cavalcade Event before it even got properly off the ground. A petition signed by 33 residents of the Bay area in Gibsons was presented to the Gibsons Council at their meeting last Tuesday evening, protesling the use of village-owned property "on the north side of Prowsc Road Irom the beach and up towards Gower Point Road" for a demonstration of motocross motorcycle racing to be held on thc afternoon of Saturday August 2nd in conjunction with the Sea Cavalcade. According to Ihe petition, the chief objection of the residents concerns the "noise, thc dust, and the exhaust fumes that an event like this is bound to create," There are persons in the neighbourhood, the petition stales, "whose health will not tolerate the polluted atmosphere that can be expected from this." The petition also points out had been approached by the The Pender Harbour Secondary School held their graduation ceremonies last Friday. The graduating students are, Steven Adamson, Earl Antilla, Violet Bilcik, Richard Dougan, Ann Duncan, Kevin Farrell, Andrew Fletcher, Tracy Houghtaling, Lew Larson, Philip Muncaster, Jerry Netzlaw, Kevin Newcombe, William Peters, Cheryl Porter, Ruth Rae, Terence Reid, Michael Thompson and Jennifer Wilcox. Pebble Holdings closely watched At Sechelt Council Pebble Holdings was still under the gun at last week's Sechelt Council meeting. Although there have been some improvements, residents are still upset over the condition of the land under the power line. The mayor felt that the only powers council could invoke were those of persuasion in asking that the land be levelled. This prompted Alderman Hal! to suggest that council consider a Bylaw giving them the power to invoke a time period on the land restoration. Alderman Kolibas pointed out that the residents in the surrounding area had stated that they would be willing to plant the area with grass if they were suppled with seeds. She felt that before any action was taken, council should contact these residents. The matter was set aside until the first meeting in July. Under his report on public works. Alderman Brown told council that he and works superintendent George Faw- kes had carried out an inspection of Trail Avenue. There had been several letters from the property owners asking that the avenue be paved. After his inspection Brown advised council that it would be foolish to pave it until the drainage problems had been thoroughly examined. He added that Fawkes was doing everything possible to keep the road in reasonable condition for now. Regarding the septic tank problem on Binnacle, Alderman Hall moved that it be resolved before the fall of this year. He felt that it should not be allowed to go on for another winter. He recommended that a meeting be arranged between all parties concerned. One drawback at present is that if a sewer system was installed it would have an estimated price tag of $110,000.00. This money could go down the drain if the alternative proposed sewer was installed at a later date. Hall's motion was given approval with only one contrary vote from Alderman Stelck. A reply was received from Sunshine Disposal detailing the reasons for their increase in the monthly pick up charge to the village. It showed that fuel had increased to 40%, labour was up 10% and the amount of units has increased by 20. The monthly increase is from $805 to $925 per month. It was moved that the increase be accepted and that it run from July 1st to December 1st, 1980. For the future it was recommended that an annual contract be drawn up No assurance given and that it be done before the budget is compiled. Under parks and trails, Alderman Hall informed council that the Trail Bay area was unsuitable for the building of a marina and it would be unlikely if one was ever constructed. He recommended that he be allowed to act on the boat ramps at Porpoise Bay and Trail Bay as priorities. ' A July deadline was stfi" for the completion of the Community Plan. This will tie in with any decision on the density of the rezoning applied for by Pebble Holdings. Alderman Stelck, council's representative on the regional board told council that as it stands the board are looking at the site beside the sewage treatment plant for the joint facility. He added that this had definitely been decided, for the fifth time. He had looked into the possibility of council being included into the Sechelt Indian Please turn to Page Eight. the close proximity of residences in the area, the need for parking during community events and the fact that thc property in question has been used for this purpose in thc past, and suggests that a site for thc event be found on the outskirts ofthe village. The protest was touched off by the appearance of earth- moving machinery on the site two weeks ago, at which time the site was cleared and the main part of the track constructed. Residents of the area have expressed the fear that the site will be used by motorcyclists during the six weeks between now and the Sea Cavalcade demonstration and after the demonstration has been held. Responding to Bay area resident l.ars Brakstad. who attended the council meeting on behalf of the petitioners. Alderman Stu Metcalfe said he Sea Cavalcade group with reference to the event and had told thc sponsors that council would consider it "only on (he condition that the people living in thc immediate vicinity gave their approval". Metcalfe pointed out that motocross racing is an organized, competitive family sport, not a hoodlum pastime, and that it involves small motorbikes that are not legalized for street use and must be brought to the track by truck or trailer. "In no way will any such activity be permitted on that site before or after the Sea Cavalcade event," Metcalfe stated, "I understand that Mr. George Giannakos. who is organizing the event in connection with the Sea Cavalcade only had the machine work on the site at this time because it was already doing some other work for him and thc expense of bringing it to thc site especially lor this project might be avoided " Metcalfe stated lhat if necessary a bulldo/er would demolish the dirt track after the event. Mr. Brakstad admitted he had been contacted h\ organizers ol the event and said he had given a "maybe* answer at the time, but Mated that his neighbours whose property is adjacent lo the mu Had not been contacted "I wanted to r^tIk to somebody from the council." Mr. Brakstad told Alderman Metcalfe. "I wish you'd come dow n there yourself in the first place." Alderman Metcalfe stated that he will personally visit each ofthe residents concerned to clarify the situation. Mr. Giannakos. who says he will organize and provide trophies lor the riders il the event is allowed to take place, says that the Bay area location is "thc last place" he would like to sec a permanent motocross track. "I would protest any such plan myself, Mt. Giannakos told the Coast \cu. "A residential area is not the place for a permanent track, lhat is why we have applied to the regional hoard to construct such a track al the Gibsons disposal site where residents will not be disturbed This track is only to be used on one afternoon for a community c\ent. We felt that it would be better to hold this event near thc water and Ihe other Sea Cavalcade events so more people could enjoy it." ' Gibsons Harbour Business Association President and Sea Cavalcade Committee chairman. Gary Puckett. says he hopes thc event will be allowed to take place because "this is one of the events ol the Cavalcade that will appeal directly to the younger crowd." Sea Cavalcade now confirmed In East Porpoise Bay Gravel pit brings protest Gambier group meets Williams A candlelight procession was the opening ceremony at the Pender Harbour Graduation. Denis Crockett and Irene Wotten, representing residents of Gambier Island, and Gambier Island trustee Elspeth Armstrong met with Attorney-General Allan Williams last Wednesday to request that the government uphold the Islands Trust Act and reverse the Ministry of the Environment's E.L.U.C. decision to permit continued metal exploration on the island. Environment Minister, Stephen Rogers, joined the hour long meeting in progress, but the group emerged with no firm assurances that the government would alter the Environment and Land Use Committee's decision. "They still feel they can't make a decision until an application to develop a mine is made," Elspeth Armstrong told the Coast News. Armstrong also told the Coast News that although many legislative Acts include stipulations that some Acts may specifically supercede others in priority under the law, the Minerals Act contains no clause indicating its legal priority over the Islands Trust Act or anv other piece of legislation. The Islands Trust could therefore seek redress in the courts with a solid legal foundation for their case, Mrs. Armstrong says. The Gambier Island Trust committee will be meeting this Wednesday to decide what steps should now be taken in the attempt to have the Environment Ministry's decision reversed. Mrs. Armstrong pointed out that as of May 26th, 20th Century Energy Corporation reported to the Vancouver Stock Exchange that it has formed a subsidiary company called Gambier Explorations Ltd. to begin the second phase of its drilling operations. "They reported that the drilling results so far are encouraging," Mrs. Armstrong said, "so they're not just going to give up and go away. The government is going to have to make a decision very soon." s^^^^ss See Page 17 tor Tourist & Hospitality Guide At last week's Sechelt Council meeting, Alderman Hall put a motion to the floor asking that the village protest additional gravel pit operations on east Porpoise Bay. He asked that the protest be sent to the Regional Board, the provincial and the federal governments. Regional director Charles Lee from area C was invited to speak at the meeting. He pointed out that under present legislation (Bylaw 868) there was no way to stop anyone opening a gravel operation almost anywhere on the Sunshine Coast. There is a similar situation in Nanaimo and they are also looking into ways to solve the problem. Legislation is in force in Ontario which categorizes a gravel pit as land consumption, not as land use. With this, the Ontario government can introduce controls. The regional board is looking into introducing a similar Bylaw in this area. Lee told the council that Pacific Rim has 100 years of gravel in its present pit and Swanson has a 15 year supply with a four year reserve and is negotiating for a further 10 years of extraction. He could see no reason for another pit opening as their output would not increase, it would only spread the extraction operations over a greater area. This would not bring further employment to the area and no benefit would be felt locally by any royalty payments. Mayor Boucher asked if council felt that it would be faster to leave the matter in the hands of the Regional Board. This was refuted by Alderman Hall, who felt that the Regional Board had "made a mess of it" and council should take an extremely firm stand on their own. The majority of council approved Hall's motion, with Alderman Stelck against. Sea Cavalcade committee chairman, Gary Puckett has announced that the Gibsons Sea Cavalcade is definitely on for the August 1st weekend this year. According to Puckett. most ofthe majot events for the three day event have now been confirmed, including the Sea Cavalcade Parade, the fireworks display, the Great Sunshine Coast Talent Contest, the Beachcomber Race, thc Tire- men's and Logger's water sports. The Sunshine Coast Pushball Challenge Cup. and Canadian National Wrist- Wrestling Championships. (See announcement on page 12 of this paper foi details.) (iibsons council voted lo provide organizers ofthe event with a $700 grant to help defray then expenses at the council meeting Tuesday night ihis grant will be matched b\ an equal amount from the provincial government. 1 he Official Entry Form for the Great Sunshine C oast Talent Contest appears on Page 4 of this week's Coast News and entry forms foi the Parade will appear in a forthcoming edition. Man) of the Cavalcade events are still to be confirmed but the committee says final plans should be laid by June 27th. Funding endangered Bluff sewer In a letter to Gibsons Council Mayor Charles Lakes, President of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, has indicated that funding for the Gibsons Bluff Sewer Project and for the proposed West Howe Sound Sewer Project may be in danger. The Federal government has contributed substantially to many such programs since the inception of the Community Services Contribution Program in 1978. "We now have reason to believe," the letter states, "that the Federal government may be considering cancelling this most worthwhile and use ful program next year.'' The Gibsons Bluff Sewer Project is one of 138 such projects in 53 communities that have received approvals in 1980. The letter urges that each U.B.C.M. member municipality and regional district contact the Federal Minister responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Hon. Paul Cos- grove, as well as their local Federal Member of Parliament by telegram or otherwise to request "in the strongest possible terms" that the Federal government be convinced to continue with the program. Sechelt Council are concerned about the proliferation of gravel pits in Porpoise Bay. They feel that the existing operations are adequate to handle the amount of gravel being extracted at this time.

Christmas Sonia Trudel Nancy Conway Advertising Department Allan Crane Fran Berger The poor promoter One as yet unmcnlioncd aspect of the political hot potato represented by the continuing metal exploration on Gambier Island is money. No. not thc vast amounts of money that large resource corporations spend on research and exploration, as they are so fond of reminding us in the mass media, but the money such corporations are already making before a mine proposal has even been made. Residents of Gambier and members of thc Islands Trust have expressed the fear that once millions of dollars have been sunk into drilling exploration, the government will be even less inclined to put a firm stop to mining activity on the Island. No one has yet pointed out that every time thc company drills another "promising" sample, the company's stock takes a little jump on the Vancouver Slock Exchange. No one who has attended a number ol mining promotional presentation and seen the expensive slides and films of beautiful wilderness scenery, scanned the dramatically lit rock samples, all informatively tagged, without thc slightest idea which one would even make the best paperweight, and heard the pet geologists trotted out to do their party-pieces for the entertainment of prospective investors who are busily gobbling expensive canapes and trying to drain the complimentary bar. can have much sympathy for the "poor" promoter. They do very well, thank you. without ever marketing an ounce of ore. Ferries take note Most of us are all too familiar with both the sight and the experience of long lines of dangerously impatient motorists following large commercial vehicles as they grind slowly over the hills and turns ofthe first leg of Highway 101 from Langdale to Gibsons on their way up the coast. One man who has done more than any advisory committee or letter of protest to point out the fallacy of the B.C. Ferry Corporation's assertion that the present off-loading and traffic control procedures cannot be altered is a man few residents of the Sunshine Coast are likely to know. His name is Garry Hurlburt and last week he was driving a 124,000 lb. G.V.W. Inland Tanker Service truck loaded with hot asphalt bound for Sechelt. First off the ferry because ofthe size of his truck, Garry courteously pulled over into the right hand lane and came to a stop before the intersection, allowing all remaining traffic to pass before he pulled out onto the highway. Once again the fallacy of "economies of scale", the belief that large corporations with vast reserves of intellectual manpower must have the final say in matters beyond the ken of mere mortals, is punctured by a single act of individual initiative. Thank you, Garry, from every diesel-breather on the Sunshine Coast. ...from the files of the COAST NEWS FIVE YEARS AQO Action Is now underway In the Gibsons area to establish a working emergency organization under the Provincial Emergency Program. Communication links are being established between Gibsons and Pender Harbour via ham radio and representatives of police, hospital, ambulance and other organizations are being sought to form a skeleton organization to establish what equipment and manpower is available. The new Sechelt Post Office is now officially functioning. Post Office staff last week transferred the operation from the old Cowrie Street building to the new building on the corner of Dolphin and Inlet Streets. TEN YEARS AQO The Driftwood Players, in their first essay in provincial drama finals, came so close to the top that adjudicator T. Gil Bunch gave the makeshift scenery of the production as hisonly reason for not placing them first. Colleen Johnson as Sarah in Pinter's "The Lover" was selected as best actress and John Burnside as Max in the same play was runner up for best actor and received a certificate of merit. Sechelts council has decided to thank the Girl Guides for their work in cleaning up the beach area of refuse which would be dangerous to youngsters. Five months rainfall ending May 31 is 9.66 inches below average. FIFTEEN YEAR8 AQO Gordon Hall, representing the Sechelt Volunteer Fire Department, appeared before Sechelt Council seeking moral support for a plan the fire department has to increase its efficiency and obtain wider support in the area it services. A life jacket thrown to Ray Grigg by Frank Braithwaite, both of Gibsons, while their 13 ft. sailboat was encountering rough water in high winds near Salmon Rock probably helped saved Griggs life when the sailboat overturned. The pair were rescued by Dr. Hugh Inglis who was cruising in his power boat nearby at the time. TWENTY YEARS AQO Gibson's girls Kathy Holland, Joyce Inglis, Jean Mason, Elaine Emerson, Pat Wilson and Janet Swanson announced their candidacy for July 1st Queen. Arrangements have been made by the Sechelt District School Board to extend Trail Bay Junior High School by adding another classroom at a cost of $7,911. A party of 55 persons from Sechelt, Gibsons, Port Mellon, Powell River and Vancouver visited B.C. Electrlc's Clowhom power plant and obtained firsthand knowledge of what the company had achieved at that hydro location. TWENTY FIVE YEARS AQO Black Ball's ferry "Chinook" was moored at the Gibsons Wharf Monday while repairs to the main generator were being effected. Dwarfing the dock at Gibsons, the "Chinook" is 324 feet long. On Monday of this week the oldest house standing in Gibsons fell before the blades of the bulldozing demolition squad. Built at least 60 years ago, in 1898, it was constructed of hand-hewn timbers and hand-split cedar. The walls were Insulated with copies of the Montreal Witness, datod 1890, pasted to the sheathing. THIRTY YEARS AQO The community of Selma Park has grown up. Following representations in respect to street lighting sponsored by the Selma Park Community Association, the B.C. Power Commission installed six lights to be controlled by the new light gauge meters. These assure lights being in operation immediately where there is any lessening of normal light. Fred Mills has been named Fire Chief of the Sechelt Volunteer Brigade. Starting with a bang, Mr. Mills has canvassed and received gifts of lumber from the local sawmills with which to finish to partly completed firehall. Gambier Harbour, early 1930s. Arthur Lett for years operated the store and Post Office seen in this Helen McCall photo. Maureen Zueff and her parents, Joe and Margaret Mitchell, recall the weekly visits the storekeeper made, via rowboat, to their home in Long Bay, with an assortment of groceries and candies. Following his retirement, Frances Drage kept the store in operation for some time. Gambier Harbour, West Bay, and New Brighton began with the appearance of logging and shinglebolting activities on Howe Sound. Later, summer campers and permanent residents built homes. Long linked only by trails, the three communities now share the only public road system on Gambier Island. The B.C.

Peterson mm/mm Musings John Burnside Slings & Arrows ��^ to George Matthews m I am sitting in the office of a little seaside hotel which is not on the Sunshine Coast and I am dashing these words off hurriedly on an elderly Remington typewriter while the lady who uses it normally has her lunch. She has just courteously informed me that it is the end of the month and she has a lot of work along and while enjoying only a fool would forget the delicacy of the bubble and the tenuousness of awareness and all of that. I heard one of the pleas- antest stories just recently that I have heard in some time. Bruno Gerussi was the lleller, and we were sitting In ����i - - to do, but it is alright becfBs��!*^ogetner briefly one evening in she hasn't had her lunchyet.t Gramma's Pub. It is the finest and then led me to this'old oak desk on which sits the Remington and has provided me with some paper. 1 realize that I have about half an hour and I'd better make the most of it if this column, which should have been written and left in Gibsons yesterday before I left on vacation, is to be written at all. And the mind reels with the newness of it all and would rather absorb than utter as people come and go from the store to the hotel office and the dining room and the bar, all of which seems inter- conncected with this hectic little office as the hub. A deadline is a deadline, however, and the lady eating her lunch nearby has certainly just given me a deadline and so I'm going to hurry right along and get enough words written to fulfil my responsibility without, 1 hope, offending my readers and friends. Thc last loose end tied together before a holiday can finally begin is often not the least important. Recent events have left me musing on the truth of the statement that whatever happens the only thing you can be assured of is that it will be unexpected. Whatever the bogeymen of our imagination, they cannot prepare us for the bogeymen that will finally get us. (Will there come a day when Men's Liberation Groups will write to protest the sexism implicit in linking thc masculine gender with the wild phantasmagoria of private and social fears herein call the bogeymen?) In any case, despite the demons that haunt us and with which we delight in terrifying ourselves continually, there is - in the words of an old Scots song "Much to make us marvel as we go from place to place", and the good news can come as unexpectedly as the bad. The delicate bubble of life wherein we float briefly aware on this bubble in space in the midst ofthe great mystery is the only bubble we have or can be sure of ever having, and it behooves to enjoy as we float delicately illustration of what "optimism" is that I can remember hearing. The story involved a psychiatrist and a child of some ten years. The psychiatrist, for reasons best known and left to psychiatrists, put the child in a room which had nothing in it but horse manure. It was with some surprise that through the observation wall the psychiatrist observed the child leap into horse manure and begin to scatter it energetically, excitedly, and happily in all directions. Into corner after corner dived the child scattering the horse manure in handfuls and arm- fuls and laughing all the time with great delight. Finally the psychiatrist could stand it no more. He called the child from the room and interviewed him just outside the door. "Do you realize that that was horse manure in there?" he demanded of the still- grinning child. "Yes,"said the child. "You realize that you were entirely surrounded by horse manure, that you were wading up to your waist in horse manure, that you were carrying, lifting, and throwing armfuls of horse manure around and yet you were happy in there. Why?" "Somewhere in there," said the child, "1 know there's a pony." In any case folks, the pace begins to pick up in the post- lunch office of this little hotel and there is a stir of people with some very definite things to do and quite a lot of them to do, the kind of atmosphere that you will find in the Coast News office on production day on a Sunday. And I am off on holiday and my column, such as it is on this first day of a few days vacation, is done and I do believe that sometimes the optimists find the pony. My silks and fine array, My smiles and languished air, By love are driv'n away; And mournful lean Despair Brings me yew lo deck my grave: Such end true lovers have. His face is fair as heav'n, When springing buds unfold; O why lo him was't giv'n, Whose heart is wintry cold? His breast is love's all worshipped tomb, Where all love's pilgrims come. Bring me an axe and spade, Bring me a winding sheet; When I my grave have made, Let winds and tempests beat: Then down Til lie, as cold as clay. True love doth pass away! R Almost twenty years ago now I spent a couple of weeks in Algeria just at the time of the' transfer of government from the French occupation to Algerian control. Much of what I saw then reminds me of what we see now on television from Israeli-occupied Palestine. The situation in Algeria developed out of a French occupation of a former Turkish territory in the mid-nineteenth century. Following military occupation, French citizens crossed the Mediterranean to take up residence in some of the more fertile coastal regions. The native Algerians were largely displaced and generally relegated to second class citizenship. Later, the French government declared Algeria part of metropolitan France and Algerians became French citizens. The damage had been done, however, citizens subjected to occupation by a foreign power hardly ever forget the humiliation of being made strangers in their own country. In Israeli-occupied Palestine, the situation is similar. Foreigners, in many cases from lands across the sea, have made themselves at home in a country settled for centuries by the Palestinian people. No amount of peace accords, arms settlements, or bombs in mayor's cars will stop the inevitable battle to free Palestine. In Algeria, despite the gift of French citizenship, the people, mostly poor, humble and uneducated, bided their time and waited for the moment lo strike back. Following World War II, liberation movements developed in Algeria and by 1954 the French were obliged to occupy Algeria wilh soldiers, many of whom had recently returned from Indochina. Using massive troop occupations, secret agents and torture, the French virtually eliminated all terrorist activity from Algeria, or so they thought. By 1962 it was all over. The French were leaving, the Algerians were taking control of their own land and government. The transition period was a strange time. The French were to have troops remain in Algiers and Oran for 6 months before pulling out. The troops occupied their forts and walked Ihe streets in smart- looking uniforms. The Algerians carried on their affairs in the same quiet, almost humble way, with no evidence of their own soldiers who had, with some help from their friends, kicked out their colonial masters of over 100 years. In the bars, young Algerians in civilian clothes, displayed weapons and talked arrogantly of defeating the French. That wasn't quite the way it happened, but they didn't seem to care, enjoying the brief moment of youthful glory that their fathers and solution, however, is no doubt see. There were Soviet army technicians there as well, sent by the Soviet government to help the Algerians blow up minefields that had been laid by the French to stop infiltration along the borders. The French, 1 guess in some sort of face-saving gesture, refused to remove their own minefields and the Algerians, as a symbol of taking charge of their own affairs, asked the Russians to help get rid of the mines. In Palestine, of course, Ihe situation is perhaps even more complex. The solution however, is no doubt as simple in its inevitability as that of Algeria. While the Israeli government continues to occupy the lands of the West Bank and sponsor the construction of armed settlements, the peoples of Nablus and Bethlehem become more restless. Their leaders are bombed by Israeli fanatics, and their countrymen in Lebanon are attacked by the Israeli army. There are a million and a half Palestinians on the West Bank and twice that many scattered around the Middle East. One day, in the not distant future, they will see the withdrawal of the Israeli occupier from their country, just as the Algerians watched the French leave their land. The problem lies in the fact that the longer this process takes, the more militant the Palestinians become. As Mr. Begin knows, once the Israelis leave the West Bank, the possibility of the new Palestinian state harbouring terrorists bent on attacking a shrunken Israel is highly likely. While Israel has been a state only since 1947, nothing so long or permanent as the French occupation of Algeria, the degree of undying hatred of the Palestinian for Israel is probably much greater. It is true that people generally don't learn lessons from history, but when the television news shows scenes of armed Israeli soldiers patrolling the streets in Palestine, it is hard not to remember the French paratroopers walking the streets of Algiers twenty years before.

I agree with her that we are very fortunate in having our Dogwoods on the Sunshine Coast that brighten our spring and fall each year. One point, Maryanne, you forgot to mention, is that B.C. Hydro are the real culprits in cutting down every thing in sight. Never giving any thought to beauty or to keeping our environment whole. In every area of the Sunshine Coast each person should take it upon themselves to be protectors of the Dogwood. When the trees finish blooming, so many people and bulldozer men don't know them from any other tree. We know where they are in our Lee's marbles Editor: When a local newspaper noted for its unswerving support of the Regional Board editorials it as "A Comedy Show" notice must be taken. Last year's finance chairman director Hunter in remarks to newspapers, and in controlled outbursts (equalled only by that against invited speaker M.L.A. Don Lockstead) sabotaging carefully compiled documentary presentations on the people's money by finance chairman Charles Lee including "at least my budget was responsible" and "Lee is confused by his own figures" begs that Lee's record be examined and his marbles counted, the facts are he was 1945-65 a C.I.S.M. chairman and M.I.I.A. advisor to gov't, agencies, on post war fiscal policies, and the International General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. A co-author of fiscal reference works (still in use) principal controller in similar fields of a 150 million dollar enterprise. Latterly three consecutive year winner of International Management and Finance award. Currently chairman of forty man board affecting 80,000 people. This week re-elected director of United Brotherhood, also arising from Minister of State for Multicultur- ism Hon. Ian Fleming's visit to Vancouver invited to actively participate. Recently a prime mover in lifting three quarters of a million dollars taxpayer's contribution to M.F.A. funding, this over fifty four years continuous public service. So much for his marbles and credibility. I reaffirm last year's S.C.R.D. tax requisition as increased by 27% this repeated in the next two years will, compounded, equal over a one hundred per cent tax increase. A bloody disgrace, I attached a non confidential document placed in my file, probably by a concerned civil servant, with a notation to director Hunter on how to present the budget so it "looks much better this way" to show not 27% but a 9.3% increase. This is the identical policy of deliberate obfuscation that has brought Canada to a 22 times worse deficit state than the U.S.A. The public are entitled to know of this document. For the record, 1 have never advocated dir. Hunter's two years of joint use of schools money for office funding. I have long since proven my support of our joint use of our schools but by provincial, not local taxation, as are some 84% of directors and aldermen across B.C. I am aware of the nuances of school funding, and admit that if I were a $40,000 p.a. civil servant, I just might be nervous to ask my masters for more money for public convenience, but say it cannot be done when it has not been attempted?? I provided a reliably researched solution to recreation and office funding but was anyone listening? Finally, as S.C.R.D. Finance Chairman, I view with alarm the proposed 33% auto insurance increase for seniors, the raise in medical premiums and fees, postal and phone rates, ferry rates, and pension and income tax index- Slings(cont'd) For those of us who were there, it is hard to forget, also, the subtle smiles of the people and their quiet confident pride, as they observed the dismantling of the French Empire, ing freezing, with consequent food and shelter costs in hot pursuit, and ask if an already indicated 17.5% S.C.R.D. tax increase is not irresponsibly placing tax burdens that will inevitably bear heaviest upon and victimize the weaker groups. The time has come for thos elected officials going for re-election in particular, and the others in general to have some damned good answers ready. "Comedy"? No. "Tragi-comedy"? Yes. Charles Lee Director Area "C" Ed. note: A copy of the document referred to in para. 3 of Director Lee's letter Is on file in the Coaat News office. own areas. We should let new owners of land bought in the area know they have a Dogwood in their lot. In this way we can ensure that the trees will be here for all to enjoy. We have all heard some one say. "Aren't the Dogwoods beautiful?" We are losing so many of our fir, ceder, hemlock, etc Irees. In the future we will wonder what has happened . to our Sunshine Coast. Take a drive and see some of the subdivisions. Our environment as we know it, now on the Sunshine Coast is changing very fast. If wc don't make the effort we will lose so many of our beautiful trees, and then all of us have then lost something. P.S. have a Dogwood Tree for a friend. Mrs E.

Yours truly, W.L.Hurd Agrees with Dee Cee Dear Dee Cee, I had a similar experience as you with the good old "Sally Anne". Montreal was the scene of my disillusionment. The year was 1935. Like so many people, I was led to believe that the "Sally Anne" was a haven and refuge for the down and outer. Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about, when you mention the dishwater soup and the tepid swill that passed for tea and coffee. The "Sally Anne" that I went to was located on Alexander St. It was quite a large complex for those times. A large portion of the lower floor was derated to a dining hall. Believe me, it was a cash business. There was a ticket booth, not unlike those at movie houses. Tickets were from ten to thirty five cents. There were no bargain meals as hundreds of private eateries offered as good or better Please turn lo Page Fifteen. k Page Eighteen. Qfiand DaBmruj- PERMASEAL ALUMINUM MFG. LTD.

Almost twenty of them since I first hit the Charlottes in 1949 and here I am in the fall of 19S4, heading out to yet another. If I had a brain in my head, I'd be studying a trade or something but logging has become a habit; a route of least-resistance that 1 keep blindly taking. I am just another West Coast Wood- gypsy now, living from one squandered stake to the next; making the publicans and timber-barons rich; getting nowhere fast. Normally, I try not to dwell too much on these negative aspects of my existence but on this particular day, they seem too abundantly clear to ignore. I sit aboard the crowded Union boat, smoking morosely and trying to escape into a science fiction story. The place I am bound for is not that far from Vancouver, some thirty miles up the Squamish Valley at the head ot Howe Sound. "Good outfit" the hiring-agent has assured me but they say that about the scabbiest gyppos. I have worked too many sub-standard camps to harbour any great expectations. The boat sways on up the Sound in a brisk winter-tinged wind that kicks the water choppy. There are occasional explosions from the southern shore where the P.G.E. railroad-link is under construction. They have many months of dizzy jackhammer work and debris-shifting ahead of them before they finally blast their way through that nest of rock-bluffs. Until their formidable task is finished, there is no way into Squamish from the coast except by boat or seaplane, unless you hoof it through the woods. The sound of a female voice diverts my attention from the distant shore. "Hi there. Remember me?" I look around to see an attractive redhead Pages from a Life-Log Peter Trower smiling at me. She looks vaguely familiar but I can't really place her. I grin back at her confusedly. "I'm Fern, remember, Verne's girl." It all comes back with a rush. Veme Turner, my brother Chris'early camp partner from the Queen Charlotte and Prince Rupert days. I haven't seen him in years. "Oh sure. How's Verne making out anyhowT I ask. Her expression alters abruptly. "You mean to say you haven't heard? He was drowned last April. Slipped off a boom up at Juskatla and he never did learn how to swim. I thought you must have heard." "God no, I never knew a thing about it. Damn it all, I'm really sorry, Fern." A quick vision came to me of Verne as I had once glimpsed him in Sandspit, standing stocky and devil-may-care atop an enormous cold-deck pile with logs rearing and lines lashing around him. Another good man gone down too young in -the name of timber. The news does not improve my generally downhearted mood. Fern introduces me to her new husband, a hulking, friendly logger called Ike Benzene who also worked with Verne. We chat casually about the camps. It occurs to me that Fern hasn't waited long before tying up with another man but it is none of my concern. And what is the point in a lot of senseless mourning anyhow? It does the dead no damn good. At length, the boat docks at Squamish, sprawling across the flat valley-entrance in the shadow of Chieftain Rock. My train isn't due to leave for several hours. I spend the time predictably enough in a pub, wetting my insatiable whistle. As I gulp back the beer, a sense of adventure begins to take hold, dispelling the black mood. I am moving into unknown territory and it feels good. I let the mythic sense of being a logger pervade me again. What the hell, I'm only going to be hooking behind a cat. It should be a breeze. It is almost traintime. I pick up a mickey of lemon gin and make it to the station with only minutes to spare. Then we are away and rolling up the wooded mountain-trough to whatever comes next. We rattle over sungreen gorges on breakneck trestle bridges that seem too flimsy to bear the weight. They shake frighteningly under the thundering wheels. There is no drinking allowed, of course and I repair frequently to the blinds for nips of acrid Tom Collins. Shortly, we arrive at Drummond Log, my destination, a whistle-stop straggle of rough, wooden buildings, a couple of hundred feet back from the tracks. No trouble getting in and out of this place anyhow, I think. The timekeeper is a bald, swarthy man called Gabby Snell. His name is well-earned and he keeps up a steady stream of chatter as he signs me on. He then directs me to the last bunkhouse in a line of five. It is the familiar four-men-to-a- room arrangement that prevails in many camps. I stake out a bunk in one corner and stash my books and other gear in the orange-crate cupboard above the bed. Back in harness again. That evening, after a good steak supper (the best meal I have had in some time) I go over to the laundry room to wash some clothes that have lain soiled in the bottom of my packsack since the previous camp. There is only one other man in the place, engaged at a similar chore. His dark, even- featured face rings an immediate bell. He is a hooktender called Ed Laserek whom Chris and I had worked for several years previously at Tahsis. He remembers me too and we talk casually as we scrub away on our washboards. Laserek had seemed a very easygoing type when I'd known him before; quick with a joke; not the type to lose sleep over things. Now he appears to have subtly changed. There is a tense, bitter edge to his voice. "You ever fool around with any of that junkr he asks suddenly. The sudden question takes me off-guard. "Not me," I declare truthfully. "1 know guys that do but I never wanted any part of it. Never figured the high could be worth the grief and I don't like needles anyhow. I can't imagine why he should want to know." "I was just wonderin'" says Laserek. "I met this girl last year, see. We was going to get married. While 1 was out in camp makin' a stake for us, she got tied-up with some junkie sonofabitch and he got her hooked on the stuff. Time I got back to town, she was dead. Bloody overdose. 1 never used to give much of a goddamn what a man did but if I ever catch up with the bastard who gave her that shit ah, hell. I didn't mean to go on like that. Forget about it, kid, it sure as hell ain't your problem." He's right about that. 1 feel sympathy and embarrassment in about equal parts. But what the hell can you say? Vancouver is a rough city and a poor place to leave a woman by herself. X0 t,e continued. mn At the Twilight The movie Tom Horn, beginning a four day run at the Twilight Theatre on Saturday June 14, is based on the last days of one of the Inst great heroes of the American West. In the course of his life Tom Horn worked on the railroad, drove a stagecoach, fought in Cuba under Teddy Roosevelt, worked for the Pinkerton Detective Agency, and while serving as a scout for the U.S. Calvary captured Geronimo. Focusing on the last period of Horn's life, when he was hired by Wyoming cattle barons and given a free hand to rid the area of rustlers, the movie portrays the West in transition during the 1900's, when pistols were being replaced by politics. Horn himself is, like so much of the once-wild West, fast becoming an anachronism and a potential embarrassment to his employers. Afraid that his effective but violent methods may cause a scandal, the cattlemen decide to frame Horn for the murder of a young shepherd to get him out ofthe way. Steve McQueen stars as Tom Horn, portraying him as a quiet-spoken, brooding, stubborn old Westerner caught up in a time that is less and less his own. Tom Horn will be at the Twilight until the 17th. Portrait x camera BmBBSBgBBSg Talent &>l ^^^^^^^ Aug. 1 ��� 2 The perfect chance for all the hidden STARS from Gibsons to Powell River to show their stuff. DANCERS MUSICIANS SINGERS MAGIC ACTS COMEDY ACTS Photography, even though it has been practised for well over 100 years, has been one of the last mediums to gain mass acceptance as an art form, but by now the recognition has undoubtedly been made. The increasing number of exhibitions throughout Vancouver alone, has finally given photographers many opportunities to show their talents and to see what other photographers are up to in their creative output. The Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt has organized an exhibit entitled Portrait X Camera running from June 17 to June 29. Featured is the work of twelve B.C. photographers, some of national status, and some who are relatively new on the scene. Represented are Taki Bluesinger, Terry Ewasiuk, Nomi Kaplan, Roy Kiyooka, Michael Morris, Dale Woods Pickering, Donna Shugar, Ronnie Tessler, Vincent Tra- sov, Ian Wallace, Paul Wong and lngrid Yuille. This exhibit deals with the photographic portrait, and sets out to show how broadly the concept of portraits has expanded and how strongly artistic expression takes part in the process. We find the person in the portrait can be presented subjectively, objectively or both. No longer is the portrait restricted to flattering or tasteful documentation and often a variety of aspects can be dealt with. One can focus in on an emotion, atmosphere, a stance, sculptural form, an action - the possibilities are many and these artists have combined the creative act with a mechanical/chemical medium and came up with some stunning hybrids. The artists in this show are all photographers, but not all specialize in portraits. It can be safely said though, that most photographers have used a person in the moment, without the concern of exact reproduction which generally exists in other media, must be irresistible. The theme of the show has inspired a Please turn to Page Five. OFFICIAL ENTRY FORM MAIL TO THE GREAT SUNSHINE COAST TALENT CONTEST BOX 567. GIBSONS.

FATHER'S DAV JUNE 15 Hanging baskets, gardening tools, books on gardening, something a little different for a special dad. Box 386, Porpoise Bay Rd.. Sechelt 885-3606 Off the shelf by John Moore My initial reaction to the poems in Tom Wayman's Living on the Ground: Tom Wayman Country (McClelland & Stewart 1980) matched my reaction to poems by Wayman I've encountered previously; I found them flat and prosaic, interesting in places, but too often unimaginative in their choice of subject and use of language. It's taken me a while to come around and Living on the Ground had more than a little to do with it. A sense ofthe poet taking stock of himself pervades Ihis book. Most of the poems arc aboul returning to places and people known years before, several are assessments of the lives and deaths of friends, but whether they are set in Vancouver or Saskatchewan, Colorado or California. Wayman is there "brooding"about the placcand about his "life on this planet". A few of the smaller poems still suffer from a lack of direction or clear focus, but they're easily eclipsed by major pieces like the poem "Garrison", Wayman's "All Purpose Bicentennial/Olympic Poem" that was awarded first prize in the 1976 U.S. National Bicentennial Poetry Awards Com- pction. Garrison, the subject of the poem, is an archetypal man of the latter half of this century; intelligent, gifted, compassionate, able to fit in anywhere, yet somehow incapable of contentment. The poem is set on "the paved shoulder, of the great Interstate crossing Wyoming from west to east" where Garrison is "running across Wyoming". As Wayman follows in thc car. watching him run, he outlines his friend's odyssey in a shifting pattern of remembered incidents and recalled conversations; young Garrison running against a small train in an amusement park, studying education and opting out of ROTC during the Vietnam war. logging in the southern part of the state "where thc only political thing was thc Birch Society meetings": "So I'd go along. Mostly it was a good place to talk about hunting and trade guns and all that. I'd refuse to take the oath of allegiance to start the meeting. Freak 'em out. Told them 1 was a Commie. Then we'd talk about dogs and rifles. I kept winning most of the turkey shoots they had down there with my , old single-shot. They didn't know what to make of it." Through a broken marriage, travel, a job counselling at an institution for delinquent boys where he breaks up a fight in the meal hall by ignoring the kids and going on a rampage of his own "kicking over tables, smashing plates and cups, tipping over chairs" just to show them "what it's like when an adult goes nutty. No good yelling at them or threatening them./ They've had plenty of that," Garrison emerges as a tragic and heroic figure, a paradoxical combination of idealism and boundless energy and exceeds any single direction or application. "1 can never do what I want to, Tom" he says as we drive, "I got out of teaching because I like to work with my hands. 1 have to stay in shape: any job I've been on 1 want to work full out. But most jobs, your're letting everybody else down if you work too hard..." Driven by his own restless energy, he could even almost do things he doesn't believe in, simply to have a direction, a purpose for going full out. "Tom, who needs us? 1 mean I think maybe this is the first time people like us have been really useless. What can we work at, give it everything, that isn't hurting someone else or adding to the sick way things are going? What are we good for? Some times I honestly wish I'd gone and fought in the War." Unable to sit as an idle passenger in the car for long, soon Garrison is back out on the highway, a mythic figure, running toward an uncertain ideal. A speck in the distance at the edge of the highway Garrison runs as the traffic speeds past him in the hot day. The only human figure in the vast panorama of wind and landscape, a man Wanda Best lyrical by Michael J. Nozlnskl White, subtle, intriguing, now an inkling of colour or color.

All are welcome to the opening on June 16,8-10 p.m. is headed for Rawlins, running across Wyoming, running towards Jerusalem. If Wayman's poetry is often prosaic, it is because it is tailored to his subjects; working people, ordinary people who, if they were dressed in finer imagery, would be as uncomfortable as a farmer in a tuxedo. Wayman's ear for human dialogue, whether it is the intimate all-night rambles of friends or beer parlour table talk, is faultlessly pitched to the natural rhythms and patterns of speech. The poems move, they take you places because they never get bogged down in superfluous imagery and gratuitous metaphor. "How quiet the words are" Wayman says in another poem, "Taken out of the swirl of a man's mind/ while he sits in a room,/ moving a pen" through the racket of editorial talk, rattling typewriters, thundering presses and binderies, until "the words sit under someone else's eyes/ on a clean page/ Sit very still." Even the reader fidgets, pulling his nose, looking up at the door as he thinks he hears a noise in the hall and then back to the perfectly motionless printed letters that are meant to refer to the condition of being alive.

Coast News, June 10,1980 Parks Society suggested Maryanne's viewpoint by Maryanne West When my father came to Canada in 1956 he was concerned that British Columbians took their heritage of natural beauty for granted. The naturalists and outdoors people who liked to watch birds and hike in the bush didn't want to be bothered with campaigns to save an estuary or a marsh. They just wanted to enjoy their form of recreation and not become involved in the world of politics. Knowing from many years experience in England working with the Committee for the Preservation of Rural England and other naturalists and conservation groups that thc important decisions are always made at the political level, he supported the Federation of Ontario Naturalists and the Okanagan Siniilkamecn Parks Society because Ihose organizations are aware of the realities of population pressures on thc environment. After his death I have kept up the membership because of course both Ontario and the Okanagan area a part of my heritage as a Canadian, and which is how I come to receive the O/S Parks Society new- letters. It is interesting to note that B.C. Hydro with its customary disregard for the concerns of ihe local community and despite the possibility of alternate routes will march a high voltage transmission line right across a particularly beautiful and scenic bluff in the valley. Pressures on the Okanagan countryside have increased enormously in recent years, from forestry, mining, grazing, recreational all-terrain vehicles and of course more and more people both wanting to live in and visit such a lovely area to enjoy the unspoilt scenery. The O/S Parks Society works hard with some 600 members to keep Victoria informed and aware of the needs of people for recreation, giving the decision makers a wider spectrum of opinion and technical advice than is provided by the paid lobbyists of the lumber and mining companies. It seems to me that Sunshine Coast is experiencing many of those same pressures, mining and gravel operations: just the needs of an expanding population for housing and services are changing the rural environment of the Coast and we could benefit from a Parks Society, an umbrella organization which could co-ordinate the pioneer work already being done by Gibsons Wildlife Club, Sechelt Marsh Society and the Pender Wildlife Club. I'm sure the Regional Board and Village planners would be happy to have an interested citizens group with which to work. The recreational needs for the growing communities and the annual influx of visitors will inevitably create problems of land use: trail bikes are not compatible with walkers or horseback riding, nor power boats on lakes where loons and ducks nest. A master plan for park and recreational land use would in theory avoid battles between those who enjoy different types of outdoor exercise, the sort of unpleasantness which erupted last year between some members of the golfing fraternity and those who like to walk in Cliff Gilker Park. A Parks Society working with local government would be in a good position to interest agencies such as the Nature Conservancy and the Provincial Second Century Fund in helping to finance the acquisition of land for special requirements, a habitat for dogtooth violets for example or a marsh and estuary for migrating birds. An organization with a possible 600 membership has far more political clout than the small group of homeowners who may be affected by a new development. Recreation is an important facet of life for British Columbians, something we've taken for granted will always be at our doorstep: woods to walk in, clean water and beaches for swimming, fish for the fisherman and a lovely coastline along which to sail. From the top of Mount Elphinstone you look down on tree covered slopes with little indication of any disturbance by man, but you know it's an illusion. The danger to our way of life isn't some overnight massive disaster like a volcanic eruption, it's the gradual loss of small areas. Developments are imposed on the environment in stages, they look small, even Volunteers During the past few months, Wendy Eccles, the Activities Coordinator for St. Mary's has been developing an exciting program of varying daily activities for Extended Care residents in the hospital. Events include baking, bowling, gardening, crafts, music and movement, films, bingo and other table games. Wendy has worked hard to create a more active and stimulating home for E.C.U. folk and is now in need of some community support to keep it going. Volunteers are required in almost all of thc above areas to maintain and extend the existing program in order that Extended Care patients have an opportunity for as full a life as possible. Other areas requiring volunteer assistance in the hospital are hairdress- ing, sewing, physiotherapy, library services, flower care and visiting. Do you have an interest or skill you might be able to share? For the summer? Or in the Fall? For a few hours here and there? Volunteering means sharing something you have with others. It needn't be forever. Only what is possible and realistic for YOU! Consider thc possibilities.

We assume that when you develop land the wildlife goes elsewhere, but there isn't any "elsewhere". The other "elsewheres" already have their full complement. Change is, of course a built- in component of the natural environment, but a Parks Society could help to plan man's development so that its impact is less harsh and abrasive, provide a balance between economic profit and social well being. If all those who care for and appreciate the unique beauty of the Sunshine Coast could speak with one voice it might be loud enough that Councils, even governments might update their values. capilano college AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notice is hereby given that the Audited Financial Statements of Capilano College for the year ended Mar. 31,1980 have been approved by the College Board. Copies of the statements are available for inspection at the Business Office, 'A' Building, 2055 Pureed Way, North Vancouver, during normal business hours This magnificent stand of lupins is just one ol several which grace the Drohmann's garden. One of the plant stalks boasted no fewer than 26 flower heads. Carefree gardening by Sandy Loam It would seem that your garden need never have the late, late, cold, cold early spring blahs if you have one the size and scope of Emmi and Gus Drohmanns on Roberts Creek Road. They have a deep perimeter garden circling their huge lot and wide gardens on each side of the driveway, a deep garden around the house and several centre gardens all filled with busy bloom and tidy edges. The Drohmanns have a greenhouse and three enormous vegetable sections with excellent looking soil and very few weeds. This is the most awe inspiring type of gardening both for its beauty and the prodigious amount of work required to keep it in the marvellous shape it is in. Emmi has her specialties, as most of us do, and she is particularly fond of perennials. Her Columbines, Lupines and Painted Daisies are the most spectacular I have seen. I am not sure of the real name of the painted daisy but it is a brilliant scarlet with a yellow centre, not an African. It looks a bit like an Aster and a bit like a lean Chrysanthemum. It also comes in pink with a double yellow centre. It seeds itself and carries colour throughout the garden in springtime before the regular Marguerites and other daisies are out, giving a summery feeling before real summer. Emmi's Lupines are fantastic, blasting out with dozens of flower spires in a stunning array of deep pink, red, purple, white and two tone. Each plant is three to four feet in height and just as wide across providing a magnificent backdrop for the rest of her plants. The Columbines are the same, tall, in great orchidy clusters, they arc delicately flamboyant in pink, a gorgeous bright yellow, snow white and again, many two tone varieties. They are great plump plants which bloom twice a year, love frost and return year after year. Another plant which was new to me was what appeared to be a tall bright orange early blooming Phlox and a 20 foot crimson Tiger Lily which last year had to be strapped to the roof edge!! The Drohmann's brought many of their plants with them from the prairies and that is why a few are unfamiliar.

Turnout for first practice of the Beachcombers Softball Water music? Sunshine Symphony by Allan J. Crane Handel's "Water Music" does not happen to be included in this year's repertoire for the Long Island Youth Symphony Orchestra, but it's quite possible that the orchestra's music may waft in from the water if arrangements now under discussion materialize���weather permitting of course. And it may not be from the Long Island Youth Symphony Orchestra alone. Juneau Award-Winning Entertainer, Valdi, has been contacted and has expressed an interest in participating in this cultural exchange which would give our Long Island guests an experience of West Coast contemporary music of the folk-loric variety. Pied Pear are to be contacted also, and the weekend of July 4, 5 and 6th may well witness a musical extravaganza of major proportions for the Sunshine Coast. In any event, the Long Island Youth Symphony Orchestra will be here for that weekend as part of their tour which, this year, includes China and Japan, and concerts are planned for both Sechelt and Gibsons. The organizational committee is moving into high gear, and if at all possible a big top tent will be used for the Sechelt concert (and for the Gibsons one in the event of inclement weather) rather than school gymnasia which are quite unsatisfactory accoustically for performances other than sports events or gymnastic displays. The orchestra's repertoire includes works by Beethoven, Dvorak, Tschaikowsky, Weber, Bizet, Sarasate, Gilbert & Sullivan and Charbrier as well as the more contemporary sounds of George Gershwin and Aaron Copeland. And so the residents of the Sunshine Coast can look forward to the sounds of a full symphony orchestra. There are 85 players in the orchestra ranging from 15 to 26, and they will be accompanied tjy the director, two married couples and the mother of one of the players. Billets are needed for all of these people, and it is hoped that the people ofthe Sunshine Coast will respond to this need with their customary generosity. If you are able to accommodate one or more of the players or the leaders, please telephone the Coast News at 886-7817, 886-2622 or 885-2770 (for callers from 883 numbers) and let us know your preferences (boys or girls, or leaders). team was somewhat sparse as reaction to Graham Crowell's sexist challenge of last week resulted in the grounding of most of the married men.

Sunnycrest Mall, Gibsons 886-2116 Give him the best of everything on FATHER'S DAY This Sunday by Dee Cee Way back in my schooldays I had infrequently helped the man who delivered my Father's groceries to many of the fine estates that dotted the countryside of Kent, near the little town of F. where I was born. I had been to Earl's Court, the home of the Earl of Sondes, to Lord Harris' grand mansion at Sheldwich and to Syndale Park which was owned by Sir Wilfrid Neame, a scion of the brewery firm of Shepherd Neame & Sons, but the deliveries were always made at the back door to a footman or housekeeper and we were never invited inside, so I had never actually had the opportunity to see the interiors of these large and lovely homes. Now at Creek Villa, the home of the Bronsteins, with the family still in the city and "Old Mac" having the key, I had access to the huge house and was amazed at the number of rooms and the lavishness of the furnishings. The house was built in the shape of an L with the main part facing the lake while the wing was devoted to the servants' quarters. How many rooms there actually were I cannot recall but I do remember wondering why on earth anyone would want a house so large and why one would have to employ so many people to maintain it, seeing that there were now only two people to occupy and enjoy it. From the story "Old Mac" told me, the Bronsteins had experienced a great personal tragedy just a few months previous to my coming. Their son Phillip had been killed in an automobile accident around the New Year in the United States, while inspecting one of his father's factories in Cleveland, Ohio and, in view of the fact that he was their only child, they still were more or less in a state of shock. Apparently he had had only a few months to go before his 21st Birthday so it could be appreciated what their feelings must have been at this tragic loss. I must say that we all worked very hard for the two weeks preceding their arrival. There were lawns to be mowed, flower beds and borders to be attended to and, while Euchre the French Canadian chap and I attended to the former, it was a revelation to watch Old Maclvor and his speed and dexterity in transferring the flats of young plants from the greenhouses into their permanent homes for the summers months. Although at no time could he be described as impaired, I haven't a doubt that on his trips back and forth to the smaller hot-house he lingered long enough there to take a swift nip or two of whatever he was drinking and so fuel himself up, if it could be called that, for further effort. Yes, we all worked very hard indeed to make the place presentable so when everyone did arrive, about two weeks later, the place looked really beautiful although, of course, many of the flowers were yet to bloom. The great day came and in due course, after being introduced to the rest of the staff, "Old Mac" took me up on the verandah to meet my employers and the owners of this lovely estate. There was no doubt about it, Samuel Bronstein was a big man in all respects, physically, mentally and in heart. Actually as he stood there towering over the diminutive Scotsman, a huge man around 6'4", he appeared to me to be a giant and his heavily lined, craggy countenance seemed to emphasize that impression. He had a deep booming voice and when he laughed I am almost positive they could hear him in the cottages on the opposite side of the lake, it was so hearty and loud. Mrs. Bronstein, or as we called her "Madame", was a strikingly beautiful woman in her fifties, in fact one of the most beautiful women I have ever met in my life. Tall, with an exquisite figure and raven black hair which she wore long, she almost took my breath away and I am sure I must have appeared an awful ass to them both as 1 stared goggle-eyed at her and could only mutter a "pleased to meet you" in a strangled voice, before taking my leave. Maclvor had briefed me as to who the Bronsteins were and where and how old Sam had acquired all his wealth. According to his story and Samuel Bronstein made no secret ofthe fact, his grandfather Luke had emigrated to Canada in the early 1800's from Lithuania. He and his large family were Jewish and in the old days his grandfather had pushed a barrow up and down the narrow streets and alleys of Montreal buying assorted junk of all kinds. In theOld Country from which 1 came we used to call them "rag and bone men" and, as 1 remember, they also bought bottles. Anyway from such a humble start, old Luke's son Ezekiel (Sam's father) had branched out and started a small factory in Montreal to shred up the cottons and clothes he and his father bought and later, leaving the bones and the bottles for other buyers, had concentrated eati- rely on the old clothing business, selling their products as reclaimed wood and cotton waste. I remember the latter quite well from my sailing days. It was surprising how much of i' was used in the engine rooms of the various ships on which I served. From one factory in Montreal, Sam's father had branched out so now Samuel Bronstein owned and operated factories not only in Canada but across the line in Cleveland Ohio, Detroit, Michigan and Pittsburgh, P.A. and he was ,now a multi-millionaire with hundreds, if not thousands, on his payroll. I could understand all this but what I found difficult at the time was to accept "Old Mac's" account of Mr. Bronstein's passionate love for flowers and, for that matter, all growing things. From his formidable appearance and his "he man" looks one would have thought his interests would have been in other directions. I could well imagine him as a big game hunter with a trophy room full of all the heads of animals he had shot in many far flung corners of the world and a collection of magnificent guns and weapons, to add lustre to his legend, but "flowersr I simply couldn't understand it. However, before I had been there very long I became aware that he was genuinely interested not only in his estate, and the greenhouses in particular, but in the people who worked for him and their lives, so far differing from his own, but seemingly of vital concern to him. I had to revise my former opinion of wealthy men as being all a bunch of self- centred, money hungry s.o.b.'s with no conscience or consideration for their fellowmen and ruthless in their dealings with others. 1 was wrong. Samuel Bronstein was undoubtedly a millionaire but he was far removed from what I had expected and that summer i was to be reminded of it so many times and in so many different ways.

My comments are timely because the National Convention of the Royal Canadian Legion takes place this week in Penticton. It is a biennial affair, when representatives from all across Canada meet to conduct business, reviewing their achievements, the problems and to set new goals. I attended the convention in Edmonton in 1978. With approximately 3500 delegates in attendance the formal ceremonies and parades were most impressive. The resolutions and topics discussed were wide- ranging and important. One of the goals set in 1978 was to make every endeavour throughout Canada, through all its widespread branches to work toward the maintenance of One Canada. This work is far from being finished, and may never be. The National total of living veterans, and service personnel entitled to become members (if my memory serves me correctly) is almost 1,000,000 of which approximately 440,000are non members, and the numbers are gaining. Our own branch membership exceeds 500. The Legion is the largest service club in Canada. It is in the area of service that I wish to address myself to, and to plead for my readers' active support. Obviously, the numbers of War Service Veterans is diminishing rapidly. The increase in new members comes from opening up the right of membership to the sons and daughters of veterans, and to those serving in Her Majesty's forces, including the RCMP. The Legion's prime objectives were to set up an association that would perpetuate the memory of fallen comrades by being of service to veterans, and their loved ones. The National Organization has constantly sought to serve the needs of veterans and their dependents, their health, care and economic welfare. The Legion stands for loyalty to Country and for ordered government; for the development of a national and united spirit; and while striving for peace and good'will among all nations, advocates the maintenance of adequate defence. The Legion engages in all forms of National, Provincial and Community Service, or other charitable purposes. In recent years, the Legion has increased its activities in all aspects of community service, especially among the aged and the young. The Legion promotes and supports national fitness by sponsorship of various athletic organizations. This region has reason to be proud of the work of the Legions in the area including Gibsons, Roberts Creek, Sechelt and Madeira Park. Unfortunately, the Canadian Legion to some members and many non-members is thought of only as a drinker's social club . That's not the true picture. The Legion has made generous contibutions both through its good works, by volunteers and by financial contributions to the community at large. The work of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion is ever rewarding in its accomplishments. By way of their insight and recommendations the Gibsons Branch will soon be providing "Hot Meals on Wheels" from the Legion kitchens thrice weekly. This is a service provided by volunteers under the auspices of the Provincial Homemakers to the sick, needy, or incapacitated. Service starts July 1st.

We need to know what recreational and community facilities you use in Sechelt, or what you would use if it were here. A recreational facility is valuable and an asset to a community only if it is used. There will be thirteen people working in Sechelt this summer to upgrade existing facilities, construct new ones, or remove ones that are not being used. We don't want to waste our time or our budget building things that no one will use. This is where you-the community- comes in. Let us know what you want by writing your ideas or suggestions on a piece of paper and dropping it in the box at the Village Office, mail it to us to Box 129, Sechelt, B.C. or give me a call at 885-5711. This is one sure way to get something that you want with your tax dollars! Another way to get your tax dollars working for you is to search through your basement or garage for any tools or equipment, such as shovels, axes, wheelbarrows etc., that you don't need this summer. by Val& Cathy Silvey May 12-16 On Monday we had two guests, the counsellors from Elphinstone and Chatalech, Bob Graham and Jack Pope.

May 20-23 This week was a short week as we came up on Tuesday. On Wednesday some of the students did their canoe over canoe rescue. During the evening we discovered a research ship from Victoria. Some of the crew came in on a smaller boat and looked around. They then invited us to go on board the ship. We went out to the Pandora II and looked around. On Pandora II they had a small submarine called Pisces. We got to go in the submarine and look at it while the crew showed other students and teachers around the Pandora II. The Pisces holds three people. We were the only other people in Pisces besides scientists. The Pandora could hold about 200 people. On Thursday morning we went out to watch the Pisces launch. It was really fascinating watching the submarine launch.

Well done Pat I Arena Update Alderman Leslie Brown as the Sechelt Council's representative to the Arena Committee gave an update on his meetings with the committee. He had informed Larry MacDonald that Council had passed a resolution to pay him a fee of up to $1,000.00 to act as the cohesive agent organizing the financing and auditing of arena operations. MacDonald accepted the position, but turned down the money with a recommendation that it be put towards consulting fees. This would bring the amount of money alloted to consultation up to a maximum of $3,000.00. After being shown the amount of money and work put into maintenance, former council representative, Alderman Hall felt the arena came out looking better than was previously thought. m The Roberts Creek Ladies Softball Team has replied to the blatantly sexist challenge issued by Beachcombers soundman Graham Crowell, (see last week's "Meanwhile back at the Reach") with the suggestion that CBC players enter the "Mr. Roberts Creek" contest to boost their sagging male egos after the ladies get through humiliating them in ihe Third Annual Challenge game to be held July 11. The ladies modestly admit to being terrific cooks but intend to prove they can also "cook" on the field. The ladies point out that in Roberts Creek, a woman's place isn't only in the kitchen, but also out splitting shakes, hauling water, and chopping firewood. "A man's place is in the logging camps," the ladies say, "not fiddling around with a bunch of automated cameras. They'd better start taking laps around the set between takes if they know what's good for them."

Coast News, June 10, 1980 EGMONT DAYS Egmont News by Jon Van Arsdell "We got a one day reprieve in this continually lousy weather on Saturday, and it made our Sports Day an unprecedented success. I've never seen Egmont Day so well attended and enjoyed. There were lots of winners. The kids' Fishing Derby produced winners Angelo and Michael Xylima, Nicole Vaughan, Kinji and Melanie Van Arsdell. Fish produced were a 5 1/2 lb. ling cod, flounder, rock cods, ratfish, and sea cucumber. Wally Silvey won the very beautiful $25 money tree, and Mrs. Jean Gibsons of Garden Bay walked home with thc velvet painting. Thc Bazaar, spear-headed by Betty Silvey, was as professionally successful as the rest ofthe day. The very close 13 to 12 baseball game didn't produce a single fist fight and was well lubricated by a magnificent punch organised by Larry and Pat who just returned, very brown, from two glorious weeks in Hawaii. Special thanks to Dot Silvey, Pat Vaughan, Ron Fearn and Dolly Wallace who gave so much help. Cookie had her Grand Opening of the Egmont Thrift Store and if you don't know Ann Cook you should make a point of meeting her by patronizing her lovely store. She is the author of the following eloquent news item: "Can you start a business without capital? Yes. In Egmont you can! With the generous help, donations and encouragement from Egmont folks, our thrift store was born. It's the neat 'old white house' that had a fire inside with lots of smoke damage, almost depressing, but in less time than it took to get depressed, Egmonstcrs came drifting along, took up tools and started bunging it out, building shelves, repairing windows, painting and setting up a barrel heater. No pay asked for���ho 'when is the coffee break? or 'where is the Union rep? As though that wasn't generous enough, then the donations started pouring in. Some folks helped unpack, sort, fold and display collectables, goodies, junque, antiques (?), what-nots, then they started buying it!...For equipment loaned to help set it up. thanks to Jean Berntzen, Edna Howitt, Wig Warn Camp Site, C.B.C, Ray Mair, and many thanks to everyone who worked the equipment. Many, many thanks to Oliver and Ruby Larsen's offer of 'the old white house' that is in prime downtown location. We want our Egmont Thrift Store not to be just a 'store to spend money' but a meeting place to come to barter, buy, sell or swap your wares, or just come to socialize and have a coffee, (if you can figure out how to make coffee without hydro). Thank you good people, Brian Campo, Edna Howitt. Ann Cook and all our helpers. Wc are open every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to sunset. We will display your crafts, buy your beer bottles and give free advice." r How many tow-trucks are in this picture? This accident occurred when the driver of the tow-truck hauling the pick-up skidded on the slippery hairpin at the upper junction of Bals Lane and Hwy. 101 Tuesday afternoon. No one was injured, but a second car sustained minor damage. The History of Egmont by Judy Cill All it takes, it seems, to run a power line, is a road to run it beside, for a few years after the Egmont 'goat track' was pushed through, electricity followed. The soft hiss of Coleman lanterns and gentle glow of coal oil lamps gave way to the clicks of switches and the poppings of toasters. Washday no longer meant the clattering roar of gasoline powered washing machines and many a wood stove was replaced by electric. In homes where lighting plants had provided power, the transition was relatively easy as wiring had already been done, but in those where no such amenities existed, it was a different thing altogether. Electricians were called in and like termites, they drilled holes in walls then, unlike termites who seldom manage to be constructive, they poked and pushed and pulled, drawing wires through walls and shoving them out through ceilings to afix plugs, switches and fixtures where they were required. Then, when the power was connected and lights gleamed into the night, the less fortunate folks on the north shore would look across the water in envy, wondering when they would be endowed with electric power themselves. And the silence! After years of the constant burble of lighting plants rumbling away, the cessation of those engines was a bit difficult to accept. One young woman, home for the weekend from her job in Vancouver, awoke in the middle of the night and, hearing the silence, knew at once something was wrong. "Dad!" she yelled, "the plant's quit!" "Go back to sleep," came the grumbly reply. "We don't have a plant any more." Oh, well, 1 thought I was helpin... The Egmont road, as welcome as it had been when it first went through, deteriorated rapidly from a bad, dangerous, dirt track to a worse, dangerous, dirt track. In the summer, one choked on clouds of dust and in the winter, cars wallowed in thick, gluey mud. The corners were all blind, the hills were of a nature that even four- wheel drive vehicles found them a challenge and many were the times that the school children pushed their bus up to the top of nearly every hill along the route. As time went on and conditions became worse, the rumour that the government surveyors had followed adrunken snake on its way to Earls Cove gained credence. More cars were ruined, it has been said, on the Egmont road in its first ten years of use, than have travelled the entire Alaska Highway since 1946. Something had to be done! And something was done. In the mid-sixties, after several visits from Isobel Dawson, that indomitable lady of provincial politics, upgrading, straightening, filling of gullies and widening of the road began to take place, preparatory to the eventual paving. Dave Pollack and his crew blasted rock, threw down tons of fill, pushed trees and stumps out ofthe way and began to create a road out of the incredible mess they had been hired to tackle and they managed, somehow, to do it with the least possible inconvenience to the people who needed the road to travel from Egmont and back again. There were many people beginning to discover Egmont and it became, not just a stopping-off and refueling place for water-borne tourists, but for campers and fishermen who travelled by road, as well. Both the Bosche family and the Bathgate brothers, who had long provided marina services for cruisers, found themselves with a whole new breed of tourists to care for. Bathgates put in a laundromat and showers, still primarily to cater to boaters, but the Bosches erected cabins and a cafe to complement their boat rental and launching service. West's Resort, owned by Mary and John West, on the property once pre-empted by John Wray Jr. many decades before, grew into being from simply a convenient place for travellers to skid their boats into the chuck. From sliding boats out over the logs, to launching them properly from a concrete ramp, the Wests rapidly progressed to full- fledged camp-site proprietors, clearing more land each winter and adding more and more attractive, shaded nooks with tables and benches for their guests. An extensive float area completed the picture and many fine fish are brought into boats by their guests each summer, as well as by the guests of the other tourist camps in Egmont. But sadly, in the early sixties, even as the road made tourism the growing industry of Egmont, the lack of bait, in the form of the grossly over-fished herring, made commercial salmon fishing in the inside waters next to impossible. The local fishermen were forced to go farther afield to earn their living and many new boats, bigger and stronger to withstand the northern conditions were built or bought. Summers came to mean the absence of many ofthe men and early June became the time of departure with boat after boat sailing away to Bull Harbor and points north, not to return again until some time in September. . Even that change was progress of a sort, for the living was better, even if it meant a long summer's absence for so many. With radio phones on the boats, and telephones in the homes, families were able to keep in touch as voices were patched through from station to station. And then there were the home-comings, the trips here and there as the good summer's profits enabled husbands and wives to take vacations, or to make needed improvements to homes and boats. September meant rest for those who stayed home to look after the tourists, as well, for after Labor Day, the visitors became fewer and fewer until at last Egmont curled up for the winter and dozed except for the times when maintenance must be done to ready equipment for the coming spring, for the Fishing, and for the tourists who were sure to arrive in even greater numbers than the year before. More letters to the Editor. After the paying customers had been served, those who had lined up for a freebee were let in. With long experience, management had learned to keep leftovers to a minimum. The Captain went down the line of deadbeats and culled out any who had been in the line-up in the past week. He had an uncanny memory for faces. Never more than twenty ever gained entrance. These lucky people were allowed to share the dregs and scraps remaining. The Captain drove a spanking new Chev car. In those hungry and desperate days he seemed to be well favoured by God. In the early thirties, the Salvation Army had brought over hundreds of young lads from Britain to work on Canadian farms. Many had not been paid and those that had, had no control over their funds. Under the scheme the funds were held in trust by the Sally Anne Brass. Money was deducted daily for bed and meals. Of course, those who had no funds were on their own. One young English lad told me he went to the Secretary and asked for 25* of his money. He was denied. The young fool had taken the notion that he would like to see a movie and perhaps have a chocolate bar. For those with no funds, the only way to get back to Britain was by cattle boat. Previously, one worked his passage over and was given a pound or two on arrival. Times had changed. With so many trying to get home, the shipping agents had started a racket. They were demanding $25 for the privilege. The demand was so great that there was a waiting list. The upper floors of the building were sleeping quarters. The many cots, side by side, and some small private rooms. Few if any beds were given free. I met a veteran of World War One standing outside at ten in the evening, with tears in his eyes. He had been staying there six months. He had a small disability pension for war wounds. nge Reg. $349.95 ***** Rated #1 by the leading consumer magazine.

Luckily, I had received a five dollar bill in the mail, from a logger friend of mine in B.C. I was able to help the poor devil out. A big 6 ft. five moron acted as bouncer for bed and meals. I had seen him throw a half starved wretch half-way across the street. It was getting late in the year and I had decided to take a freight home to B.C. I went to the Sally Anne clothing store and asked if they had any old sweaters or jackets to protect me from the cold. They quickly told me that everything was for sale. In other words, a commercial venture. There were two signs in the clothing store. A medium sized one said, "God is Good". A much larger sign read - "Ladies Please Leave Shopping Bags At Counter To Avoid embarrassment". They obviously feared that some poor needy soul would be tempted to pilfer. The Sally Anne has made millions in both major wars. Their canteens in large army camps were a lucrative source of wealth. They have never opened their books to public scrutiny.

Senior Citizen Program ^mmmmWm Coast News, June 10,1980 Since 1975 Port Mellon has been stuck with 44,000 tons of stained wood chips that nobody wanted. Last week they finally found a buyer and started shipping them to Japan. The mill has always been set up to handle incoming chips, but were unprepared for theirexodus and had to rent special conveyors to move them. A welder is shown at work on the old cleaner in the bleach plant. This is being taken out and is replaced by a new centricleaner. The old cleaner was installed in 1964 and lost about five tons of fibres perday. The new equipment will cut this loss to 3/4 of a ton per day and will take out more impurities. Child rescued The above picture shows a precipitator being demolished to make way for a new Teller chemical scrubber. This should remove a greater percentage of particulate and sulphur odors emitting from #1 and #2 recovery boilers. If it proves out, more will be installed. The basement was gutted and other parts of the residence of Mike and Andrea Walters damaged by smoke in a fire which broke out in their house in the early hours of Saturday morning. Prompt action on the part of the Roberts Creek Volunteer Fire Department staved off any further damage. The cause of the fire is unknown and the Fin Commissioner is coming on Monday to conduct an investigation. There were three adults in the house at the time the fire broke out and four children, three belonging to the Walters, and Zach Greenberg who was staying the night there. Andrea and her three children escaped unscathed, hut in going back into the burning house for Zach, Mike suffered from smoke inhalation. He is still in the Intensive Care Unit at St. Mary's Hospital as we go to press, but his condition is reported to be satisfactory. Zach Green was taken to the Vancouver General'Hospital. His condition is listed as satisfactory. Fire Chief, Glen Kraus had high praise for the Volunteer Fire Department. He did not arrive on the scene himself until everything was more or less under control. "They did everything right," Kraus told the Coast News, "and they made a hell of a good save." The house was covered by insurance, Fire Chief Kraus told the Coast News, and he reported that most of the contents were still useable, most having received only smoke damage.

It is also the name of a national volunteer youth service program funded by the Federal Government, which enables young Canadians to live and work for 9 months in different regions of the country, furthering their knowledge of their country, its two official languages, their own personal development and serving their fellow Canadians. Debby Atlow, Assistant Regional Director for Kati- mavik met with representatives of local municipalities, service clubs, the school board and the Sechelt Indian Band at a number of meetings held on the Sunshine Coast last week. Ms. Atlow is seeking viable local projects that could be undertaken by Katimavik project teams. Katimavik project teams, Ms. Atlow explained, are made up of 10 young people ages 17 to 21, with even numbers of male and female participants, with about one third francophone representation in each group. Each project lasts nine months with groups rotating every three months so they can experience three different environments, one francophone, in three different provinces. Participants in Katimavik represent a microcosm of Canadian society as they are selected according to demographic criteria such as language, sex, religion, region, rural-urban, ethnic and income level. Katimavik participants are all volunteers who work long and hard and receive no salary other than a dollar a day pocket money. At the end of their nine month term, however, they are given a $1,000 honorarium for completing the program. Katimavik provides food, lodging and transportation, the basic expense for the teams, but local sponsors of projects must supply materials and tools. Katimavik project teams undertake projects that would otherwise not be possible, Ms. Atlow pointed out. They do not take jobs away from local residents, nor can they work for companies or organizations whose object is profit. They build playgrounds staff day care and senior citizens centres, and contribute their labour to a wide variety of municipal and community service programs. Ms. Atlow admitted that the program has had some problems with drugs and alcohol abuse, but to no greater extent than any other youth program and any participant caught breaking thc rules against drug or alcohol use, cohabitation or hitch-hiking is immediately sent home. When Ms. Atlow addressed local groups, the funding for Katimavik for this year was still uncertain. However, a press release issued by Secretary of State Francis Fox confirmed the federal govern- presently being considered by a number of groups, from Keats Island to the Native Environmental Studies school at Deserted Bay. The earliest a project could begin in this area would be October 1st.

More letters An artist's opinion Editor: 1 have followed with interest the reactions in your newspaper to the High School Art Show. As an artist 1 can understand both the opinions of your reviewer and also the response of the students. My own impression of the show was that we have one or two art teachers who are making their students fully aware ofthe need for discipline in training as an artist, These students are not children, for them thc early years of unrestrained enjoyment of splashing around in paint is largely over. With a great deal of perseverance. many years of commitment, and some good fortune, they will return to the spontaneity Ms. Foster so admires and our world will be that much richer for their vision. Criticism and rejection seem to be a necessary part of an artist's life. It takes courage to hang yourself on the wall to be judged by the less committed. It is also essential to value that criticism and understand itasit is meant. We can be constantly learning through other people's eyes, whether they be those of the artists or the critics. Good luck to the students - Oldest Mayday? Editor: In the May 20 issue of your paper you claimed that the Pender Harbour May Day was the oldest May Day in British Columbia.

Later, May Day was moved to the 21 to correspond to the Hyack Festival. The first May Day was held down by the B.C. Penitentiary.

Log salvage regulations In response to questions in the Legislature from NDP MLA Don Lockstead, Minister of Forests Tom Waterland replied that he expects changes in the Log Salvage Regulations, proposed in the Ministry's controversial White Paper issued in January of this year, to be announced in July. Lockstead questioned the Minister as to whether or not further input would be sought from log salvors before the changes become official. The Minister replied that he had "listened to people in the industry" and no further input would be sought. "I told the Minister I think he's been listening to the wrong people in the industry," Lockstead told the Coast News, "I'm very unhappy with the Minister's answers and his refusal to consult further with people directly involved."

It appears that during the five or six week dry spell we had during Ihe spring. Ihe soil around the roots dried up and Ihe recent normal weather is only now getting some moisture down to them. So if your dogwood is looking a bit under thc weather, let it be for a while and it should come back to life. Fawns I just had a talk with the conservation officer Jamie Stephen who recently returned from a course in Vancouver. His list of essentials had included a tennis racquet, so I asked him how his game had improved.

Loons Ever since John Hind Smith wrote his story about Gyps) and her loon experiences, the office has been full of loon jokes. In order to exorcise the place. I'm going lo burden you with some ol them. A bird eating a french pastry is eclair de loon; a flea on a bird is a loonalick; a well dressed bird is a pantaloon: a bad tempered one is a balloon; Who was lhat masked bird'.'...the Loon Ranger, and mv favourite 'cause I made it up. a red cow bird is a mooloonrougc I here you are. may the) never return to haunt us. Mushrooms A lew weeks ago I ran a picture ol the Panther Amanita mushroom. I slated that il was poisonous and the only slone you would get from it would be the gravestone variety. Since then I have received a letter from a person calling himself Joe four-lettered word, accusing me of scaring children and staling that he ate them all the time (his signature verified this). After an altercation on Ihe street with this Joe 'Jc!*. I checked my facts. According to my sources, the Panther Amanita is second in deadlines* to that death angle. It contains two poisons, mycoatropine and muscarine. When eaten by a child, death can come within I I 2 hours. _^^_ Here's a press release from Victoria a couple of years ago. Victoria CP. An unusually large number of cases ol mushroom poisoning have occurred in B.C. this year. Adam S/cawinski curator ol botany lor Victoria Museum said Wednesday. He said. "Ihe cause ol Ihe outbreak seems to be an unusually high number of Ihe poisonous species Panther Amanita because of thc wet spring. Also drug oriented persons are experimenting w il h the species, not realizing the price to be paid in severe illness or death." He said. "Persons should avoid any mushroom wilh white warts on a brown or tan cap. white gills, a ring or a veil on thc stem below the cap and a distinct cup at the base of the stem. I hesc are field marks of ihe Panther Amanita. II someone does eat such a mushroom, vomiting should be encouraged and a doctor consulted immediately." So. it's no skin off my nose Joe '.;c!*, if you eal them, but don't become a messiah; they usually have a limited life span. Racing Pigeuns Ihree racing pigeons have shown up on the coast in thc past week. One of them is unable lo fly and is rc- eouperating at the SPCA. One look off and the other is turning Mike Baldigara's barb- eque while. I had a talk wilh Hill Chesham of the North Road Pigeon Association in Surrey and it turns out that there wasa race recently Irom Williams Lake in which the birds ran into a bit of fowl weather, The one that is at the SPCA is from Surrey. I've given everyone, ever)one else's phone numbers, so the birds should be returned to their rightful owners in due time. Out of my numerous phone calls I did speak to some interesting people Jim Scott in Roberts Creek has racing pigeons, so in the future he will be the person lo contact as he has the facilities to look after them. He's missing a couple ul buds himself, so il vou sec anv handed buds, give him a call at 886-9780. Where The Fish Are Pauline al Irvines Landing has her voice hack and she reports that tislung is picking up. Quarry1 Bay, Scotch In Point, and Fern) Point ate where most ol the springs are being caught. Bluebacks aie being caught on pink hoochies off the south end of Texada. The exciting news is that the cohos are coming in. A six pounder was taken off the A- Frame and another was brought in while I was on the phone. Merle at Hyak in Gibsons reports that there are a lew nice sized springs being taken. A few cohos have been taken on the outside on Wednesday and Thursday, the biggest being five pounds. They are being mooched on live bail anv where from 20 to 40 feet. Sewel's at Horseshoe Bay is fairly slow. A lew big ones were brought in. Try your luck al Roger Curtis. No cohos reported in the area as yet. Live bait everywhere. I'm getting too long-winded this week, so I better stop. Next week read about exciting new ways to scare starlings, courtesy of the Ministry of Agriculture. Mv numbers are 886- 78I7. 886-2622 and KX6-9I5I if vou waul to contact mc. la. Women's Aglow by Diane Skytte On May 20th the Women's Aglow Fellowship met for lunch at I' :30 a.m. in Harmony Hall. Our guest speaker was Dorothy Dobson from Victoria.

We enjoyed a lovely solo written and sung by Elaine Huber, called the Lost Generation. Our next meeting will be held in Harmony Hall at 11:30 a.m. on June 17th and our guest speaker will be Laurie McGregor, an ex- Jehovah Witness. Babysitting and transportation available.

Appeals Must be in writing and be directed to Pesticide Control Branch. 15326 - 103A Avenue, Surrey, B.C V3R 7A2 Province of British Columbia Ministry of Forests by Rev. George W. Inglis There is probably no word in the English language which has been robbed of its richness and fullness over the years like the word "peace". In the New Testament ofthe English Bible, when the Lord Jesus Christ said to his disciples in his farewell address to them, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you." (Jn. 14:27) he was conferring on them the richest legacy it is possible to leave to mankind. Similarly, when the apostle Paul spoke of the "fruits ol the Spirit." the nine rich benefits conferred upon those who walked in thc Spirit of God. peace was high on thc list. (Gal. 5:22). But the peace of the English translations ofthe Bible comes from the Hebrew word "Shalom," which is as old as the Isrealtle nation itself, and in its turn comes from the Semitic word "Salaam," which remains in the Arabic tongue today. To the reader or translator of the Bible today, the word peace means simply a cessation of war, a condition, however tenuous, in which men may lay down their arms. This meaning for peace also carries with il the thought of being able to withdraw from thc hectic pace of today's competitive world for a few moments of solitude. When Jesus, or the apostle Paul used the word, however, it would be used with all the richness of its origins - in a nomadic society where all ol life was a struggle, and danger was all around. In Jesus' case, he would be using the Aramaic version ofthe Hebrew Shalom. :ind in Paul's case he would be using the Greek equivalent. irenee, but both would probably be thinking of the word as it had evolved in thc life of Israel from its origins in thc word "Salaam" through the ancient Semitic culture in the Mesapotamian area. As the word Salaam, peace was offered from one nomad to another whenever they met, and the right hand was outstretched to show there was no weapon in the hand. Ihe greeting meant that its giver wished the other water for his flock, food for his family and animals, freedom from the roaming predators, shade from thc burning sun, many sons to do his bidding and many daughters to see to hiscomfort. It was a rich and meaningful blessing, covering the entire range of the welfare of the nomad, to whom everything in nature constituted a hostile element, to be subdued or conquered by. I his Semitic word, shalom in Ihe Isrealite tongue, took on a newer and richer meaning as the members of the 12 semi- nomadic tribes stood on the threshold of the Promised Land alter their dramatic exodus from Egypt's slavery, and their 40-year trek through the wilderness. It was then that their God (Yahweh). conveyed this rich blessing upon the people, through his agent Moses: "The Lord bless you and keep you; Ihe Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you: Ihe Lord lift up his countenance upon you. and give you peace." (Num. 6:24- 26). In this blessing, the word peace, shalom. meant not only all of the rich material blessings, but it carried the richer meaning of a spiritual tranquility, a covenant of peace with God himself, lor all eternity - the blessing of the Messianic Kingdom. It was a peace about which the psalmist sang: "In peace I wilh both lie down and sleep; for thou alone. O Lord, makesi mc dwell in safety." (Psalm 4:8). In Jesus' ministry, thc word still carried its rich meaning, as Jesus was steeped in thc scripture and tradition of his people, and their relationship with God. When he offered his peace to his disciples, then, he was ottering it in its fullest sense, which covered health, welfare, protection, spiritual tranquility, a loving covenant with God. and the promise of life in thc eternal kingdom of heaven. As the scholars in Alexandria translated the Hebrew scripture (today's Old Testament) into Greek for the Hebrews of the world who could no longer read their own tongue, it was natural they would use thc Greek word irene or eirenc. which unfortunately simply means an absence of conflict. And similarly, when Bishop Jerome's scholars were translating the Latin Vulgate version ofthe Bible, they used the Latin word "pax" throughout, which once again simply means a cessation of. or absence of. conflict or war. And to our western mind, coming out of the Graeco-' Roman background as they do. the word peace conjures up pictures of long conference tables at which agreements of surrender or capitulation are signed, followed by delerious celebrations. Somehow, there is very little of the sense of permanent serenity and freedom from anxiely which was contained in "shalom." Therefore, it becomes virtually impossible for us to comprehend fully the meaning of the words: "Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known lo God. And thc peace of God. which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:6,7). That kind of peace is worth striving for! At Harmony Hall by Irene Bushfield Sorry if you missed this column last month but the writer spent all her time in the preparation of a Christian Book Store in lower Gibsons. Now that it is open we can return again to events of the O.A.P.O. Branch No. 38 at Harmony Hall in Gibsons. We met in the Hall on Monday, June 2nd for our General Monthly Meeting to discuss old and new business, and, because it is our last meeting before the summer break, we lined up some activities right into September. The report on our Spring Sale and Raffle is that we did exceptionally well, this of course, is due to all the willing hands that turned out to help and the abundance of donations that came in. We also give a special thanks to all the patrons who came to support us with their friendly presence and patronage. The $50.00 Food Voucher was won by Vega Brannan, Sister Trudeau received a Quilt and the two framed pictures went to Andy's Drive-In and Heck Bernhoff. The Quilt was made by s number of the members, the large picture was worked by Mel Eckstein, and the small one by Kay Holt. There were thirty-five members on the bus trip to Whistler Mountain, taking in the sights and beautiful scenery en-route. Whistler Inn served a delightful lunch in pleasant surroundings. A MOST ENJOYABLE DAY. Suggestions for future trips include one to Harrison Hot Springs and Mission, taking in a visit to the Vancouver Game Farm. Another one would take in lunch at the top of Grouse Mountain with stop-overs at one of the parks (or Deep Cove) and Park Royal. Watch for dates in this column. Over forty people attended our Pot Luck Supper on May 31st, and all enjoyed a real good supper with fun and games afterwards. Some played Whist or Crib while others played darts or pool. Our next one will be on June 27th ��� please note that this is on a Friday, and we sit down to supper at 6 p.m. Because of the summer recess, we are closing down our Monday Afternoon Social Bingos and the Carpet Bowling on Wednesday afternoon. However, we will be having a PICNIC in the Harmony Hall grounds, on Sunday, July 20th, so keep that date in mind. In September we celebrate the opening of Harmony Hall with a real birthday party. This year, we hope to have Bill Malyea and His Music so watch for date and time. Take note that the special days at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver for Senior Citizens this year are August 20th and August 27th. Dave Hayward is hiring a bus on the 20th for members who wish to go. At the April meeting, Nancy Strandt asked for small prizes to hand out to the handicapped at the Extended Care Unit. Any help you can give will be appreciated by Nancy and the recipients. Such items can be left at the hall or 'phone 886-9567. Of special concern is the need of assistance by the Kiwanis new Health Care Unit. Ways and means has been discussed it several meetings and it has been decided that in addition to any physical help we can give, we will donate $1,000.00 from the club funds towards the purchase of furnishings for the Unit. The Womens 'Aglow' Fellowship meet for lunch in Harmony Hall on the third Tuesday of the month. Interesting speakers come from all over the province to take part. Ladies of all ages are invited. Wc start at 11:30 a.m. For further information phone 886-9567. Members of the Gibsons Lions Club also meet at Harmony Hall, they were a great help to our crew when we were building the Hall back in '75. Also they installed our concrete sidewalk and their men and equipment were brought in to do the back-breaking job of levelling thc grounds and filling up areas with sand and gravel. We who enjoy the conveniences of Harmony Hall owe a lot to the 'Lions'. A new group to use Harmony Hall is the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International, they will be holding a banquet on June 28th (Saturday). Phone 886- 2132 for further information and tickets. Everyone welcome. Monday, September 1st is a Holiday, so our next meeting will take place at the Hall on Monday, September 8th, starting at 2 p.m. Hope to see you there. Till then we hope you will enjoy a good summer in the way you like best. 'Bye now mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 22.

An Ian Corrance photograph HOUSING OF THE FUTURE IS HERE TODAY Anyone expecting futuristic housing design with an exterior appearance of space age capsules or something equa'ly exotic is doomed to disappointment. The Canadian Real Estate association, central research group of more than one hundred real estate boards across the nation, says the housing of the future is already here. Because all member-boards report to CREA, and because the provincially licensed and trained real estate personnel working within these real estate boards are immediately involved in the housing and development market, their opinions should be noted. The reasons, say the experts, are mainly economic. Houses have a life expectancy of anywhere from 50 to 100 years or more, and livable accommodation is not going to be demolished to make way for something more modern just for modernity's sake. Although this might give employment a temporary boost to the economy, the cost would be astronomical and doesn't make economic sense. New housing adds only about three per cent per year to the existing stock of 7,500.000 dwelling units across this vast country. Considering the present life expectancy of existing houses, and the rate new houses come on stream, it will be many decades before the country's housing generally can lay claim to the label "futuristic". That's why today's homebuyer can be assured his purchase is here to stay for many years. Members of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver report a busy season in buying and selling at the present time, with sufficient supply to meet the demands of the marketplace. Of particular note is activity in marketing strata title properties, where sales have increased 75% during the past two years. This multiple family housing is one futuristic innovation of the past ten years, and will figure largely in the housing market for the lifetime of current housing styles. The strata title townhouse, apartment or single family unit makes the highest and best use of land resources and because of building economies provides the opportunity of ownership to a wider range of buyers. One characteristic of the condominium is the high percentage of single-person ownership it has generated because of security, low maintenance and reasonable cost for single working people. Changes in housing design are gradual instead of radical, and technological and electronic changes are to be expected more than design alterations. Greater energy efficiency, heavier insulation, improved window quality and design, solar heating installations and central city in-fill housing of a multiple-unit nature are the main innovations expected in housing now being built and renovations incorporating some of these innovations ate expected in existing housing stock. So, space bubble and time capsule enthusiasts will have to wait another hundred years to find themselves housed in the Buck Rogers nty.
