But regional directors say the issue is far from dead, and announced plans to reapply for the lease at higher levels in the ministry. In February, directors decided to apply for the lease - which would give the regional district final say on logging within the watershed - after the Ministry of Forests issued eutblocks over board objections. Directors vow to fight Chapman policy in court The request was turned down recently by officials at Crown Lands, who cited a policy not to issue leases on watershed reserves, except for temporary occupation and statutory rights of way. But directors say they don't buy lhat interpretation. "We intend to be taken seriously," said regional director Jeremy Frith in an interview. The regional district will be asking exactly who received their application, and for detailed reasons for refusing the lease, said Frith. If the board continues to be turned down, it will appeal to the provincial cabinet and "failing thai we will take it to court." Last fall, the regional district took steps to seek an injunction against both the Forest Service and International Forest Products to stop logging near Chapman Creek. A truce was temporarily reached out of court. But basic disagreements on the issue remain. "Forestry seems to believe it's perfectly compatible to log under a watershed reserve," said Frith. But that position isn't shared by the board. Currently, the watershed is managed under a protocol set out between the Ministry of Forests, the water management branch and Crown Lands - a situation similar in most other provincial community watersheds. Only two BC regional districts - Vancouver and Victoria - have signifi cant control over activity within their watersheds. The Vancouver regional district has a 999-year lease on most of its watershed, first granted in the 1920s, while the Capital Regional District in Victoria owns most of its watershed land privately. Frith said the local regional district will be talking to water boards in both areas about their authority in the watersheds. Meanwhile, the Sunshine Coast Regional District isn't alone in wanting greater control over rural watershed activities. turn to page 2 Gang violence, vandalism slam District of Sechelt by Darah Hansen Gang-like behavior is being blamed for a scries threats, assaults and vandalism recently being carried out on the streets of Sechell. According lo police reports, a small gang of young adulls, ranging in age from approximately 13 to 22, has been linked to several crimes which have plagued the district over the pasl month. The incidents have ranged in levels of violence and appear lo be sporadic, said Cst. Colin Crce of.the Sechelt RCMP detachment. He said the gang is thought to be responsible for the recent reports of beat- ings suffered by students of Chatelech high school as Ihey leave. School staff have reported a group of young men waiting at Ihe bottom of the school's hill and carrying out the assaults. The gang appears to be choosing ils victims, generally young males, at random. Similar assaults have also been reported at Trail Bay Mall and at the West Coast Amusements carnival. Cree said the gang's activities arc also connected to a spree of window breaking that occurred lasl weekend. During the nights of March 26 through 28, windows were smashed at Tbe gang appears to be choosing its victims, generally young males, at random' four Sechelt businesses. Another business, Cafetino Kid Restaurant, reported a break and enter during lhe same time. Police report that weapons have been involved in the criminal activity and that gang members have been reported with pipes, chains and al least one handgun - thought to have been ���- stolen during a residential break-in earlier in Ihe month. Cree said the term "gang" is being used to describe the offending group because of Information RCMP have received linking the members to some degree of organized behavior. Though nowhere near as serious as gang activity occurring on lhe Lower Mainland, Crce said by way of dress, language and demeanor "it appears this group is trying to emulate the (lack of) morals held by more traditional gangs." Cree said police believe they have identified many of the gang's members but have had little evidence so far to convict anyone. He said witnesses to the assaults and other crimes have been threatened and intimidated to the point of remaining silent and have been reluctant to come forward and testify in court against the gang. Failed toxicity test forces mill closure by Jane Seyd Local pulp mill Howe Sound Pulp and Paper was temporarily forced to shut down Thursday and Friday after failing a routine test by the Ministry of Environment. On Tuesday, lhe ministry learned that recent samples of treated effluent from the company hud not passed a required toxicity test, said Cory Legebokow, an environmental protection officer. The cause of the problem al the mill hud not been confirmed hy Friday afternoon, but both environment officiuls and a consultant hired by the company were investigating. One possibility is lhat too much ammonia was added us purl of Ihe mill's secondary treatment. After discovering Ihe problem, Ihe mill first shut down Wednesday afternoon, und did not intend to reopen until the company could be sure ils effluent would pass required tests, said mill manager Don Stuart. Officiuls from both Environment Canada and the provincial Ministry of Environment were at the mill investigating from Wednesday to Friday. Bolh ministries also took samples of the effluent for analysis, though officials would not suy whether charges ure pending.

Each packs roughly 2,000 pounds of muscle about on tree-trunk legs and their feel are Ihe size of milk buckets. The only thing that seems disproportionately small compared to the breadth and girth of Barrie Custance's two ponderous draught-horses is Iheir meanness of spirit. "They're really just gentle giants." Distance says. "They're aboul us eusy going as you can get." Custance, a former Ministry of Forests operations manager, was given the two Belgian sorrels by his family upon his recent retirement, and he's wasted little time gelling the animals harnessed into action. "I've been practising wilh them," Custance says, "getting used to them. But it's me that's learning, not them." Horses are nothing new to Custance. His is a horse family, both in breeding horses on their Gibsons property and riding competitively. Bul these are Ihe first work horses he's owned, and he's finding nut about them us he goes. "The more time I spend with them the more I realise how well trained they are," he says. The horses, Boney and Tony, have been used in a variety of situations before coming lo Gibsons, from harrowing to logging. They've even "acted" in u number of movies in Cunada and the US, including un episode of McGyver. "ll seems like they've hud pretty interesting lives," Custance says. Now that Honey and Tuny ure Gibsons residents, distance says he would like lo begin offering hay rides wilh lhe two animals and has a large wagon ready lo help fulfil the goal. turn to page 2 inside n mm'* 14 met Mac Bio contemplates 300-acre West Sechelt development by Roxanne Gregory The fuce of West Sechelt may be changing: MacMillan Bloedel, owner of 300 acres skirting Highway 101 north of Gowland Road is considering residential development of the property. The forestry giant bought the treed properties in separate sales in 1977,19SS and '56. In a meeting in Vancouver last Thursday, company officials approved in principal the use of the property for residential development. Final approval at M&B is still pending, according to Nora Stevenson, development representative for the timber, lands and properties divi- Residential growth cited as main reason Stevenson, who met Thursday with a Sechelt OCP sub-committee, said in an interview. "We want to work very closely with the community. We have had a consulting firm come in and do environmental and engineering studies of the property which would indicate it has a higher value for use as residential property. "We have not hud un offer from a developer for sulc. It is not our intention to sell and we intend to manage the property through the rezoning process and possibly Ihe subdivision processes." According lo Stevenson, M&B had a variety of reasons for re-evaluating Ihe land for residential purposes. Said Stevenson: "Wc looked at Ihis property and decided that il would be unfeasible to reharvcsl the land in 70 years due to residential growth. "You can'I have a logging operation in the middle of a residenlial urea." When asked if MacMillan Bloedel would market the properties as well, Stevenson said "That's not impossible, although currently, wc arc looking at a very long-term process. Everything is very preliminary right now. MacMillan Bloedel has marketed properties in olher areas of the province, like our development in Cowichan. "MacMillan Bloedel will be looking at possibly harvesting some of the timber or doing some selective logging with that land prior to its use as residential property," said Stevenson. t___M__m_tm_^_e_\ mam I m_m_m _^ Coast News, April 5, 1993 Loi IsTHs Haircut Adult: 8.95 Child: 6.95 Men �� Mi mmmmmm m Coasl News, Aprils, 1993 opinion Revolution without gunpowder The air these days seems full of revolution. Peter Gzowski had a full week of discussions of it, and that surely should make it official. But there is no customary plotting going on with this revolution, no guns are being hidden in haystacks, no barrels of gunpowder being ferried about al night, no underground factories are busy making bombs. Ihis has got to be, if in fact it is one, the tamest revolution in history. Just the same what they are all, or at least a growing number of ihem, beginning to say is that it will prove the biggest revolution in history. It is of course, Ihe technological revolution, the computer of digital revolution, and the reason it seems kind of lame to many of us today is that it has in fact been going along now for quite a while. Most people who encountered electronics back near the beginning did so through radar during lhe war. There was a gadget came out called '0', What you saw if you were a navigator was an extra screen mounted above Ihe navigation table and an extra roll of charts. The charts had great looping and swirling lines overprinted in various colours, quite psychedelic though the word was not much in use at the time. What you did was press a button under the screen. Two fluores cent lines appeared quivering in aboul two seconds. You measured the distance between, went to the chart, picked out two swirling lines, and where they crossed, presto, that's where you were. Feeling thai we should know what we were dealing with they tried to explain. The screen of course, was fronting a tube of vacuum. At the back of the tube was a blob of barium oxide. When you switched on the barium oxide was heated, and when you heat barium oxide, clouds of electrons fly out, whiz?, through lhe vacuum, light up the screen and all the rest. Simplicity iteself. The whole thing could be described under an hour with a piece of chalk and a blackboard. (liven a long night at I.UHX) feet in mid-Atlantic, Ihis kind of phenomenal whizzing aboul of particles over vast distances could lead you, perhaps, lo think. I am not saying that any navigator out there may have forseen whal is happening today, but I will say lhat there are many of Ihem who are not going to be in the least surprised. It was explained by one of Gzowski's panelists that the reason now is considered the time of revolution is due to continuing development in the computer (digital) field. They are technological developments and in a nutshell they are no way anyway philosophical or ideological or political developments. They are simply revolutionary means of storing information, moving information about, and making information readily available to all (all who can afford it). I would like that there will be many citizens around who will wonder whether this, by itself, can make all Ihe changes lhat the new age people are bugling. Everything is going to change they say 'every thought, every action, every institution.' Ihis all on a basis of moving around information, and mostly information we have had there all the time. There will be new information, of course. The machinery itself will develop new information at a continuously prodidgious rate, but will it be information that will really matter a damn to anyone? Gzowski pointed out that just going in and out of his new CBC building, and in and out of his office, and making phone calls here and there are all being noted on a computer and all stuart nutter slashed away as 'information'. The question of what is in fact information is bound to come up pretty soon if it hasn't already. The simple answer is that information is everything, every littlest thing and some that can't be seen, all jumbled up or, in this case, inexorably filed away. In the computer, though, the relative importance of one bit of information over another is totally irrelevant. The only computer we have thai makes these necessary distinctions is of course, the brain. There are things the digital computer can do that the brain can'l (storing the whole of Dosto- evsky word for word for example), but only the brain can choose and make any sense of it all. There are people of Ihe new age who are saying that education as we knew it is a thing of the past. I would say that education in the humanities is growing much more important. If there's any disagreement on Ihis, in fact, lead me to the barricades. Learn How To Make A Moss Hanging Basket! Salurday. April I" ���.'

On analyzing these figures.| am, astonished at the great (lis- , parity between allocating funds to the French immersion pupils and the short-changed core French students (French as a school subject.) There is only one taxpayer whether it is for federal, provincial or school taxes. If all the grant money were pooled and distributed on a per capita basis the grant per French learning pupil would work out at $44.52 per pupil. With such funds most school districts would be able to strengthen their core French programs from grade 4 through to grade 12. Thus enabling all students on graduation in Grade 12 (after 9 years French), lo acquire a working knowledge of grammatically correct French. This would allow those young adults who wish to become fully bilingual to perfect Iheir French language skills with a stay of six months submerged in a French speaking area. What better way to achieve the goals of whal all pundits of French learning promote? I hope you will study my above information and abandon Ihe wasteful French immersion programs in BC, which result in a drop-out rate of 75 per cenl, cause loss of self-esteem to the French immersion drop-ouls and impart mere communication skills (of grammatically cannibalized French) to French immersion graduates.

Originally from areas near Qualicum and Campbell River on Vancouver Island, the herd of Roosevelt elk were moved by the Ministry of Environment after they began moving into populated areas. In three separate trips, the elk were baited into corrals with alfalfa hay and trucked over to the Coasl. Historically known lo inhabit the mainland of southwestern British Columbia, numbers of Roosevelt elk dwindled because of both hunting and habitat removal. Another herd of elk released near McNab Creek in 19.1.1 were wiped oul by the 1960s from similar causes. Today, the elk on Ihe Coast don't have many natural predators, says Pierce, although cougars will kill elk calves if they get the chance. But even then "sometimes a cow elk can be pretty aggressive," he says. Currently, the elk which are part of Sunshine Coasl herd are not allowed to be hunted. But since Ihe animal is not considered endangered, there are plans to allow limited hunting in the future. The second largest animal of the deer family, after the moose, Roosevelt elk ure bigger than rocky mountain elk, wiih a cream-coloured rump and very large antlers which the animals drop each year. The animals eat a variety of grasses, shrubs and trees - which can cause problems if . they get near populated areas. One nursery in Pender Harbour has been a little worried, says Pierce: "They could do a, lot of damage in one night." The elk can also weigh up to I,ppo pounds, which means their footsteps can leave a rather large hole, and have done on the Pender Harbour golf course. ' "So far the golf course has been very tolerant about it," says Pierce, and has been trying a technique of shooting noise- makers at the elk to scare them off into Ihe forest. In areas where the elk are hunted, they arc usually very elusive, says Pierce, but in areas where Ihey aren't hunted, the animals can get quite tame. A cormorant in flight over Sechelt Inlet.

Lasl year, responding to a report of shinning at seals from a commercial fishing boat, Pierce said he discovered blood on Ihe rocks al the site. "This is Ihe type of senseless killing wc have to avoid," he says. "...People feel wildlife's stealing something from them and they don't want to be bothered." In other cases "it's just a matter of taking precautions." For instance: keep garbage out of reach of raccoons and pick apples from the trees in lhe fall rather than letting the fruit attract bears. "Il's really sad if we have to destroy the animal because people can'l take care of their garbage." Last fall, a hear was part way into a live trap set by Ihe ministry in a residential area nf Gibsons when a man panicked and, thinking lhe trap wasn't working, shot al the bear, injuring the animal. "We never did find il," says Pierce. "We don'l know if it went away and died or if il recovered." Pierce says he's not sure if there's an ethical difference between sport hunting and taking shots at animals when they wander within range but "most people who shoot animals in their backyards don't really understand wildlife." This spring, Pierce urges residents to be careful around wildlife raising young. Often raccoons will try lo nest in attics and chimneys, he says, hut il's important not to trap young raccoons inside by nailing up the hole. Deer fawns will also often lay down in grass when their mothers are off feeding, and shouldn't be moved, he says. Going Away on Vacation?

The amount of newsprint collected at the Gibsons depot is not enough to be accepted by the large de-inking plant, New- slech Recycling, and it has to be sold lo middlemen collectors at half the price. The lower price, added lo the cost of transportation, makes breaking even impossible unless some grants arc available. "The ilcpnl docs gel assistance in paying the wages of our attendants from Blanc Hagedorn who, as a contribution to the project, pays half our wages hill. "Recycled glass can make up lo 25 percent of the volume of new glass. Bul green glass, mostly from European wine bottles, can't he used at all," McGrath said. "Aluminum scrap ends up at Alcan on Annacis Island, and our tin cans arc collected by Abcx to add lo its car body scrap." The depot at Sunnycrest Mall is not hard to find. Once there you can deposit recyclable materials thai collect in your home, all in a minute or two. Do get the habit.

Memories What drew this reference lo an English text in grade 9 in lhe 1930s to my attention I can't guess. Can you help? The text, Charles Kingslcy's llereward the Wake tells of the last Saxon holdout in the Norman French occupation of Britain. Hereward, son of Lady Godiva, married Torfrida, a learned and noble-hearted woman who supported him in his struggle to succeed against so many odds. Where Hereward, quite overcome by his successes, was entrapped hy the wiles of a younger woman did not speak frankly to Torfrida about his obsession. "He slill brings his armour home for me lo polish," Torfrida said when rumours were brought to her attention. Hereward losl all sense of purpose except his platonic obsession with the young woman, Sircnia. His glorious feelings of destiny crumbled and soon he was a mere fugitive deserted by everyone, even the designing Sircnia.

YOU WILL HE I SOLI) I ON MY NATIONAL REAL ESTATE SERVICE GIBSONS REALTY LTD. 886-2277 by Beverley Shipley It is really becoming noticeable how the traffic is increasing in scary numbers in the Creek, particularly along Lower Road. If you happen lo live on Ihis road, you'll find lhat waiting to gel out of your driveway is always the case. The days of just pulling out are definitely bygone, bul that's progress so I'm told. Unfortunately some, (not all) visitors, tourists, and local drivers arc hitting the straight sections and hitting the gas at the same time. This is a 30 zone and that designated speed zone is for a good reason. Many residents like to walk, jog and ride bikes along Ihis road. Lately I have seen: small cars roaring along at 50 plus; a pickup truck pass two cars uphill on a double solid and nearly have a head-on with an oncoming vehicle; many cars and trucks don'l even bother to stop at the bottom of the now through road known as Joe Road; some fine drivers also like lo see how close they can come to shaving the hairs from people walking or cycling; vehicles roaring past school children at the slops and getting tm or off school buses. Please people, slow down and let's try lo keep Roberts Creek a quiet country area for everyone lo enjoy.

Winter's done and spring is in the air. It is a time when everything thai has been sleeping for the winter slowly wakens, stretches its tendrils and reaches for lhe sun. Noi unlike we humans - for we need lhe warmth and light of Ihe sun to thrive and grow and feel good too. Suddenly aching joints disappear, arthritic fingers straighten out, and the shoulders get broader as wc lift our faces to the sun and salute spring! The entire community sends its very best wishes to Terry Gardiner who is presently in St. Paul's Hospital. Please get well, Terry and hurry home - you are missed. Marmaduke Marmaduke, the Sandhill Crane who has heen in residence in our area for some 18 months, has suddenly 'flown the coop' - literally. It is not known whether disturbances in the area, eg the falling of trees or smoke from the slash fires, thai has caused him to take flight: or if it is just lime to go, as it is also mating season for Sandhill cranes and sechelt scenario the crane was observed doing its mating dance. It is thought that Marmaduke was somehow blown off his migratory course, injured in the process, and landed up in the tree farm in Davis Bay, where he was fed. As he regained his strength, the crane began to wander further afield, some mornings walking boldly down the middle of the road foraging for food on the way. For two weeks he fed in my neighbour's backyard where I was able to sneak nut one morning and get some pictures of him. Slowly he worked his way down to Mission Point where he made his permanent home for some eight to 10 months. He was so tame that he would eat out of people's hands and became a real pet to one and all. When the crane took his last flight, he was seen heading north towards Trail Bay, a direction he had not been seen taking before. It is hoped that he is returning to the Arctic where Sandhill cranes summer. If anyone sees Marmaduke, would you please call me so we may keep readers informed as to his whereabouts? Thanks to Gwen Abrams of Mission Point for all the pertinent information on Marmaduke. Gwen is a very knowledgeable lady who is a volunteer with the BC Beached Bird Survey Program sponsored by the ministry of environment emergency service branch in Victoria. Twice a month she walks the beach between Chapman and Wilson Creeks looking for dead birds, sea life, etc. making detailed reports when she finds something. This enables the ministry lo keep track of the change in patlems of birds and sea life, as well as being a watchdog for pollution, if any. Abrams has emphatically slated that since the clearing has begun in Wilson Creek the birds have definitely begun lo decrease in number in her area which is a real concern to her. Bald eagle incubation For readers who have asked about the incubation period of the bald eagle, Ihey are presently nesting and have been since Ihe firsl of March - apparently from 39 to as long as 42 days. by Deanna Lueder, 885-7365 The Cowrie Street beautifica- tion project is going strong. Driving along or crossing the street is an adventure and the project has been hard on local businesses. At this point, with the removal of trees that arc usually in full bloom this time of year, it seems more like the Cowrie Street messiflcation project. Change and the discomfort that often accompanies it, is 'always viewed with great suspicion and sometimes rightly so. But it's too late for misgivings or complaints so let's hope the rcuslts are successful and lhat, in time, Cowrie Street will no longer be part of the highways sytem but an attractive area for strolling and shopping. Daffodils April, the first full spring month has been declared daffodil month by the Canadian Cancer Society. Daffodils arc being sold to raise money for cancer projects and research. Daffodils are so beautiful who can resist them, and the price asked goes to a cause we can all support.

Finding oul where services arc needed and then finding ways in which to provide them has been a priority. Affordable and accessible counselling for women who have experienced violence is one area where a growing need was identified. The Women's Counselling Service, sponsored by Community Services, has been established to help fill that need. The service is funded by the Ministry of Women's Equality, through the Ministry of Health, Mental Health Services. What is the service? Last week I talked to counsellor Marj Brown aboul the program. ��� it "We offer free and confidential counselling lo women who have experienced violence, whether it's childhood abuse, sexual assault, or emotional and physical haltering in lhe home." Brown said. "Al Ihe moment it's individual counselling, bul in lhe future there will he groups as well. "We offer a safe environment for women lo talk about what's happened in their lives, lo look al lhe effect the violence has had on them, and decide whal changes need lo he made," Brown continued. "It's not aboul fixing their relationships, il's aboul understanding what's happened so lhal Ihey can make changes." Brown's Sechell office is warm, cozy, wheelchair accessible and she also has a space at lhe Sechell Indian Band office, so that the service will be as accessible as possible for all women. How to get service Women can call the service themselves, they do not have lo he referred hy another agency. Agencies may also refer women to counselling. "When people call Ihey may reach my answering machine, hui I respond lo calls promptly," Brown said. "If agencies arc leaving a client number lo call, or if a woman is leaving a message, I ask lhat they indicate whether my calling back will jeopardize Ihe woman's safely. They may want to specify a safe lime to call or leave a safe number where they can he reached." During our conversation Brown carefully avoided Ihe word victim. "That word connotes powcrlcssness and helplessness, and that's not how I see these women," Marj said. "They're survivors. They have survived incredibly difficult and traumatic situations. With support and information they can icam to tap their own strengths to make changes. They have Ihe ability to doit. "Women often don't understand just how strong Ihey really are. Helping women identify their own resources allows ihem to make positive changes in their lives." For further information call Marj Brown al 885-0250.

I'm going to add my voice (for myself and olher seniors) to the din. In November my left shoulder started to bother mc, bul it wasn't doing it all the time, hut when it did it brought tears. So, I applied cold packs. On December 3 in Ihe early evening, it went nuts and ice and Tylenol didn't help so my husband took mc up to St. Mary's. The consensus was probably acute bursitis and I received an injection of cortisone with analgesic mixed with il. There was immediate relief. In January Ihis all started again with additional pain in the neck, so again there was another injection and physiotherapy. Ice was used for about five treatments and since it didn't seem lo help, traction and heat with TFNS and laser was substituted and this seemed lo help and I used up my physio benefits. I know there arc many people like me who have used up their benefits and can be reimbursed by our additional insurance after wc have paid the cost up front. Who can afford the up-front money? When all the medical avenues up here have been explored then it's time to sec the specialists in Vancouver.

The phone lines at the Coast News' offices in Gibsons and Sechelt were flooded with calls Thursday and Friday following publication of an April Fool's spoof front page in the April I Weekender. More than 100 people phoned in, the majority desperately seek- ______ ing the non-existent page 29 to read more about Al Iar's Howe Sound tunnel expose. "No page 29 - it's a cover up!" one reader charged. "Al lar should write more stories," quipped reassurance. "Your front page is an April Fool's joke, isn't it?" asked an uncertain voice. The story about the Spring time change had one frustrated caller comparing notes. "One paper says one thing and another something else," he said. "Which is it?" em. . _.__��'_._��� "You should be Tbe prospect Of a ashamed," said someone else. "Many people relied on that information."

The prospect of a tunnel linking the Coast to the Lower Mainland fueled speculation about land values. One realtor encouraged us to develop the story, saying numerous residents had called or dropped by to inquire about the market impact of a tunnel. One irate resident objected to the story by informing the paper that "land development is a serious business." Reaction to the tunnel was clearly mixed. One caller said: "That's too bad, I've been waiting for this tunnel for a long time. Nice joke." But the next: "I'm so happy there's not going to be a tunnel. I was going to move." Some people phoned for simple There were fewer calls aboul the world's largest coin, readers were seemingly too busy trying to find page 29.

Economic impact study slated for Tetrahedron by .lane Seyd After months of wrangling to get information for Ihe Tetrahedron Local Resource Use Plan, a socio-economic impact study is now being done on the area under the authority of the Protected Areas Strategy. The Tetrahedron is one of lhe first areas lo have an impact sludy done under the strategy, which is considering areas for wilderness protection around the province. Resource Systems Management International has been contracted by the Ministry of Forests lo complete the study, which will examine effects of both logging and preservation on jobs, stumpagc paid lo the province, community economics, local gov- , ��� '��� l .i.^tir. -am I eminent goals.toncerns of various interest groups and wildlife habitat among other issues. Marilyn Chisholm-Glover, who is heading the study, recently began talking to community members about Ihe Tetrahedron and took a helicopter tour of the area last week with the Ministry of Forests. So far, discussion about the Tetrahedron "seems very emotional" on all sides, says Chisholm-Gover. The study - expected by the ministry in about two months - will cost $12,000 to complete. Of that, $5,000 will be paid by the Protected Areas Strategy while $7,000 will come from the district's Forest Service budget. Meanwhile, committee reports dealing with jobs, wilderness and water values are expected within the next two weeks from the LRUP itself, says chair Barry Miller. A public review of the group's work over the past three years is anticipated for mid June. At Ihis stage, says Miller, it's more or less accepted that "agreement on one plan (for managing the Tetrahedron) is remote." Most likely, several "options" will be forwarded along with indications of public support to the Protected Areas Strategy for a final decision, says Miller.

Powell River senior students have been offered a minimum of $500 per month by their school board to cover expenses should they choose to attend a high school elsewhere in the province to complete grade 12. The Powell River district says most students who have opted for the plan have chosen to attend schools in areas of the province where they have rela tives living; not necessarily the neighbouring Sunshine Coast. Powell River teachers were locked out of their schools Monday (March 29) by the district board after months of failed contract negotiations. Prior to the lock out, the teachers had been involved in varying levels of job action since January, including rotating strikes and work-to-rule policies. ��� Perms $45 ��� Cuts $10 Milk.

JWCHT THISNm] ���_������ Coast News, April 5, 1993 Living in taxing times The regional budget deliberations that rocked the Coast in the past week seemed to overshadow the provincial budget brought down by the NDP government last Tuesday. Maybe that was due to the fact there were few surprises left by the time the budget was released - almost all the principle features had been leaked to the press and filtered through to the public prior to Finance Minister Glen Clark's speech. Strange that this most secretive of government documents should be treated like another trial balloon. The one per cent increase in sales tax, probably the key budget hike, would have come as no surprise to anyone tuned to the political or financial pages, much less the usual sin tax increases on cigarettes, alcohol and gasoline. While the NDP was able to point the finger at its predecessors in the Socred administration for some of the excesses of last year's budget debt, there is nowhere to shift the burden of blame for this year's climbing deficit, heading for $26.4 billion by the end of this year. The government's hyperbole about job creation, protecting services, fair taxes and reducing the deficit continues apace with its generous perks and salary rewards to government employees. There is something all too familiar about the government's taxation and borrowing method of balancing the books, one that rapidly turned Ontario's first NDP government into public enemy number one. The BC NDP has just come off a long stint on the opposition benches; it needs to rethink its economic strategy if it it doesn't want to return there quickly. Playing pool politics The lowly Gibsons Pool, floating from one fiasco to the next, was dealt yet another setback when the SCRD finalized its budget last week. The regional money budgeted for 1993 operation and maintenance of the pool, $90,000 from areas D, E, and F, was to go partly toward renovations, with the remainder .to be used to operate the pool after it reopened in the fall. That sum, however, never made it into the final budget . passed at an emergency meeting last Monday. The fate of the pool is fast becoming a community debacle, after a series of financial setbacks that have already forced several revisions to renovation plans and kept the pool closed for the last six months. The withdrawal of SCRD funds means it's unlikely the pool will reopen this year. Even more disconcerting is the prospect of yet another revision of plans to bring the renovation in on budget. The 100 per cent withdrawal of funding by the SCRD has the whiff of punitive political backlash. No discussion to assess the cash needed to keep the project on track - a simple stroke of the pen has sunk plans into the mire once more. The pool is far from adequate to meet the needs of a growing community this size, but the public and politicians have already committed to a plan that would keep it operating until such time as the Coast is ready to build a regional pool under a regional recreation function. A referendum was held to that effect one year ago and all the participants supported it. The SCRD has effectively reneged on that commitment. Health changes overdue Three cheers for Elizabeth Cull! I only wish the ministry of health would take time to inform the public about what Ihe closure of Shaughnessy hospital means. As it stands, Sunshine Coast residents who attended the meeting March 25 are obviously lacking information. I have worked in Vancouver hospitals for the last 11 years as a registered nurse and I am glad Elizabeth Cull is finally doing something to revitalize health care. As a nurse I witnessed first-hand the waste of health care dollars by poor hospital management. Often, yes, the beds would be full, but unfortunately, one-quarter of patients occupying beds could have been more efficiently cared for at home by community services and family members. All too often, the nurses were providing nothing more than babysitting services at a very expensive'<)' hourly rate to the BC taxpayers. . By closing Shaughnessy and relocating the Spinal Chord Unit to VGH, I hardly doubt if all our great neurologists and specialists will leave the country or lose their expertise. Additionally, by providing services in Ihe Fraser Valley and freeing up the "400 beds", Sunshine Coasl residents will have ample opportunity to get into Vancouver's hospitals. BC is a great place to live, but unless we want to eliminate social programs and benefits such as old age pension, unemployment benefits, subsidized daycare, etc., we cannot continue to run all of our crown corporations and public institutions at a loss. Let's support the changes occurring and build a healthier province instead of keeping with tradition and watching our great public health care system die. LESLIE COOPER Roberts Creek Teens treated unfairly Yesterday, my teenager bought his first car - a 13-year- old domestic - for a small amount of money. When he and the friend he was buying it from went to a local agency to obtain change of ownership and insurance, they were treated like crooks trying to 'get away with something.' Needless to say, they were disgusted that they had been prejudged, and have vowed not to go back to these insurance agents for anything. It is unfortunate that their honesty has been questioned because they now feel that they have been discriminated against as teenagers. As a parent, I signed the transfer papers and knew that the purchase amount was correct. I might also add that this was not the Autoplan ICBC office in Lower Gibsons. Is it too much to expect teenagers to be treated as courteously as adults, instead of automatically tarring them with the same brush as those who receive notoriety in the largely negative reporting of today's media? If so, we will be contributing to the raising of a generation of cynical and rude human beings. JOSEPHINE HAMMOND Gibsons Capitalist greed robbing our senses The provincial budget came down last week and the morning CBC call-in show sounded like a funeral I There was an overwhelming gnashing of teeth and the sound of the banshie was loud and clear from the ranks of those that 'have'. Their idea of a tight budgei, which they all agree has to be, is one of cuts in services to the working class, or in their words, the masses. I wonder how many people in BC listened to a program entitled Ideas, 9 pm each night this week on CBC radio, with a most insightful, open look at economics and capitalist history letters welcome We welcome letters to the editor on matters of public interest. However, we reserve the right to edit submissions for brevity, clarity and legality. Please mail your letters to: The Editor Sunshine Coast New* Box 68 Sechelt, B.C. V0N3A0 and its worth, both negative and positive. When looked at through the eyes of a historian, it's clear that capitalism is the single most destructive trait that mankind has ever developed. If I have any power to look into the future, based on capitalism's progress through history, it's bound to fail at a price humankind may not be able lo pay, not in capital dollars, but in tragic human suffering by the so-called masses, lo support a system lhat is becoming so top heavy that it's already starting to collapse. Because its fundamental basic principle is to accumulate all the wealth that this world has, into a few, if not single control. Because Ihe capital engine is becoming self-consuming, because we are already running out of raw materials needed lo turn into 'gold'. They, the capitalists are, (I think) the last alchemists, and even their apparent success is turning out to be an illusion as in the pasl. What the hell would be the worth of turning all of nature's resources into'gold'? When I think of the word capitalism, I think of another word - greed! Whal annoys me Ihe most is the small business person who has been hoodwinked into believing lhat capitalism is the son of God, God being Ihe almighty dollar, who is standing forth as a voice in the wilderness and saying it as it is. What's worse is there are Ihose out there saying it and nobody wants to listen. When will we come to our senses? One question mark for everyone who believes in the false God $$$ - I put the question, "is there a seconder?" DAVID BARTON Sechelt Leadership is knowing what to do and how to do it The subject of leadership is high on the list of conversation pieces these days. Not only are Canadians facing a contest to replace Brian Mulroney, the winner of which automatically becomes Prime Minister of the country, but in BC the party of opposition is having a full-scale leadership convention. All candidates will seek to persuade voters they are worthy to play this important role. They will strut and pontificate and gesticulate and travel tirelessly for the right to lead their respective political parties into what they assure us will be the dawn of a new day. We must fight ennui and cynicism, my friends, for in truth leadership does make a difference. We recognize it when by some strange alchemy or historic mischance something bubbles to the top of the political vat which is more than scum. But, oh the distance between the preening and the performance, between the ego and achievement. Tbe successors to Brian Mulroney as leader of the country and Gordon Wilson as leader of the opposition in British Columbia will not, of course, be chosen by thee and me, dear reader, but our lives will be affected by the choices made nonetheless. We should give some thought to what constitutes good leadership. We have to do this for our- musings John burnside selves. I'm afraid we can't expect the candidates to do it for us. Mulroney, for example, in his speech announcing his resignation, put the gloss on what must surely be seen as a lacklustre term in office by pointing proudly to the fact that he has been Prime Minister longer than any Conservative in his lifetime; he pointed to the fact that he had maintained caucus solidarity and to the fact that the coffers of the Conservative party are full to overflowing. We must ask ourselves if clinging to office, keeping your followers clinging to you, and raising lots of money so you can repeat the performance is enough. If it isn't, and tbe fates forgive anyone other than Brian Mulroney who thinks it is, then what do we want in our political leaders? One of the most damaging criticisms made of former president George Bush in last fall's American election was that he made it plain he wanted to be president again, but never why. He wanted to be, it seemed, but not to do. This is not a bad stalling point for our cogitations on leadership. Even if we don't get to make the choice we should be ready with an opinion about the candidates and to communicate it to those who will choose. The candidate must after all be electable in the election to follow. There is a bit of a drawback facing the Conservative cabinet ministers who seek to replace Mulroney. It is the very issue of solidarity Mulroney boasted of in resigning. Everyone who has sat around the cabinet table has been loyal to the most unpopular Prime Minister in this century. The challenge facing all of them is how to persuade us they have something in mind they want to do. "Don't read my lips," said Bill Clinton during the American campaign," read my plan." As President he is winning relatively favourable reviews because he actually does seem to have a plan, to have some idea of what he is getting elected leader to do. Kim Campbell, Don Mazankowski, Jean Charest or anyone else in the race for Mulroney's job should be able to offer us a vision of what Canada needs to do to improve its economy and the lol of its people in the last years of this century. They will have to reconcile a sense of new purpose and drive with their loyalty to the previous leader. A considerable challenge! It's hard to say anything specific about the provincial Liberals. They are so new on the provincial scene and the shenanigans involving Gordon Wilson have effectively kept them from developing any cohesive identity. They never have told us what kind of vision they had for BC. Other than they claim to be nicer free enterprisers than the discredited Socreds, we know nothing about them. Gordon Wilson, in particular, should persuade us that his is not just a lust for power or a messianic complex. To win back the leadership he has thrown away he should convey a comprehensive and persuasive sense of the future of British Columbia. Unlike Clinton, Wilson bas no extensive background in government administration to counterbalance the astonishing lack of judgment he has already shown. To want to lead is not enough. There must be more than a hunger for power. Our leaders should persuade us they do not seek power for its own sake, but have an idea what they want to accomplish and, better yet, how to accomplish it COAST^NEWS Sobtcrlptjoe, 1,1m h, tm Coast Nam or tm Wmlrmdm: Canada: 1 year ��� $35 ��� $2.45 CST - $37.45 6months. ��20.$I.40CST-$21.40 a*a*a-a>K 1 yaw. $40(NoGST) Raj.

In her first public showing, local potter Lisa Blackwcll's Turtle Island Pot Prints are well displayed against the backdrop i of delicate anlique quills, donated for public viewing courtesy of the Sunshine Coast Quitter's Guild. The works combine to expose a decidedly feminine sense which blends bolh utility and an forms handed down through generations. Blackwcll's pottery is dark, smooth and mysterious as a whisper; rounded wilh lines of feminine beauty; rich in ancient charm. Complementary lo the show's title, Turtle Island, Ihe ancient native name of North America, many of lhe pols are graced with simplistic picto- graphic designs which capture the spirit of the bird, fish, reptile and mammal and sew them into the clay. Bach item is liandhuilt, burnished with polished gem stones, then fired in wood dust. The result, the artist explains, is "a rich, complex colouration reminiscent of their origins - earth, tire and spirit." In contrast and balance, the pottery is framed by the vivid colours of the hanging quilts.

The title Canadian Citizen is shared by over 27 million people, some of whom have been Canadian since birth and others who have fought for or chosen the right and the honour. "I chose to be a Canadian citizen," says Elphinstone school principal Martyn Wilson. "Living in Canada gives me the right to live in what is probably the most civilized country in the world. Canadians generally treat other human beings with the respect that all people deserve." Citizenship is a topic that raises strong feelings for many Canadians. "My citizenship means a lot to me," says Lenora Joe. "I appreciate what I have where I live and am thankful for day-to-day luxuries such as breakfast in the morning and dinner at night. Luxuries many countries are without." To some citizens of this country Ihe word Canadian seems to be interchangeable with the word freedom. "Being Canadian means that I am free lo be whoever I want to be," says sludent Zoe Sanborn. Many others responded similarly. "Canada gives me the freedom of thought. I am also able to live where I want, associate with who I want, own Ihe property I live on and travel the world receiving respect and hospitality that is given lo Canadians worldwide," said Elphinstone social studies teacher Robin Helhey. All those asked about their Canadian Citizenship responded with pride and thankfulness to live in this greal country.

Wilson appeared Sunday before a meeting with members of his riding association on the Sunshine Coast looking relaxed, outlining his position on several important issues. "I have never considered resigning as MLA. I don't believe 1 have done anything to make me unfit for public office," the embattled MLA said. "This has been a trying and difficult time for me. I think there should be much firmer lines between private life, public life and public office. "I am gratified with the level of support I've had locally and from across the country. There has been no palace coup. Sixteen members of the caucus can't override the constitution of the party ... They are trying to rewrite the constitution without lhe members They cannot rule by executive fiat." new. The people of BC will have heard it all. The budget is compromised already. If anyone profits from these "leaks" the Minister of Finance should resign. "We are looking at a major tax assault. A one cent increase in sale tax, an increase in the gasoline tax, further taxes on professional services. In every part of BC the people aren't going to sit and take it anymore." Wilson was also critical of the new Crown corporation, Build BC, which he said is going to provide capital infrastructure financing for things like highways, through a gas tax, federal social services payments, and special levies like toll roads. "We've seen pavement politics before in this province. They should have called it Build BC for the NDP. This Crown corporation is just one more way to launder public money." Wilson commented on the 11 per cent decrease in provincial grant funding to the Sun- The people o/BC shine Coasl Resional Dis,riet ., .._. i It's just another example of off-loading Wilson said he believes Pred Gingel is don't Want personality debt on to the shoulders of local governments doing a reasonable job as opposition leader. "You can't run a caucus like an Israeli Kibbutz. You can't have consensus on every issue. If they don't like your decisions...that's one thing, when you walk oul that door, you must be united. *~~~������������" "Outside a couple of ridings, most of the liberals have been with the party for less than two years. They are loyal to their MLA, not to the party. If an MLA is out of line it's up to the president's councils of the riding associations to bring them into line. Party loyalty is the key. There is a different coalition with different desires out there. I don't use the term conspiracy. This is just BC politics., Wilson said. "The people of BC don't want personality politics, they want intelligent debate." Wilson continued, "The NDP have discipline like you wouldn't believe. There is nothing democratic about that party. When Clark stands up they all stand. When Sihota snaps, Ihey do whatever he tells them to. We're not like this. We've got 16 free-minded people. I'm learning, we're all learning. This is the product of being a very young party." Wilson excoriated Finance Minister Glen Clark over the yet- to-be-released budget. "I'm alarmed at such prolific leaks. We have a Minister of Finance who is packing a budget in a well constructed sieve which is leaking on a day to day basis. He's like a baker carrying flour in a sieve. "By the time he goes to make the cake, there isn't anything left. When the budget is released, it won't contain anything politics, they want intelligent debate' - Gordon Wilson What is means is there are going to be fewer services." Questions from the floor about the tenure of local tree farm licences aroused Wilson's frustration. "You have local people who are really "���-******���*~ working on solving issues in the Tetrahedron and the Caren Range, and CORE doesn't have the mandate to implement those recommendations." Wilson expressed serious concerns about locked out teachers in the Powell River school district, and the economic assaults that community is undergoing as a result of downsizing at the MacMillan Bloedel mill. Former SCRD director Cy O'Leary asked Wilson about the need for jobs in the local area. O'Leary suggested that unem- ' ployment rates on the Sunshine Coast were closer to 25 per cent than the 14 per cent suggested by the federal government. O'Leary felt that residential housing construction was saving the Sunshine Coast from catastrophic unemployment. Wilson said he would look at those numbers. In discussing the needs for a late night ferry sailing, Wilson said he'd had discussions with the minister and that a possible solution with the marine workers union was being discussed. "It isn't fair to Ihe people of the Sunshine Coast to just roll up the highway every night at 8:20." The Federal Aboriginal Fisheries strategy, entrepreneurial immigration, and the condition of the unfinished Gibsons Bypass were also discussed. Community health directors appointed Six newly appointed executive directors will assist communities in developing local initiatives for the New Directions for a Healthy British Columbia strategy. Based in offices throughout the province, the six executive directors will tie i3pons'il)fe7or" helgHlethng community awareness and knowledge of health issues, bringing community members and health professionals together to plan local health strategies and develop Community Health Councils. Said Health Minister Elizabeth Cull: "The new directors will not be program administrators but facilitators whose primary role is to help communities assume greater responsibility for bringing health services closer to home, enhancing public participation and expanding local decision-making." She said the positions are temporary and will end when the local communities assume control of the process. Executive director for the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island will be John Mullin, whose office will be in Nanaimo.

The small classrooms are sel back across a vast green playground, a healthy distance from the quiet road the property neighbours. The children are in school now, so all is slill in the yard. The only sound comes from Ihe little creek which runs through the property and from the waves lapping up on the shores of the nearby beach. About a dozen small children can be seen through a large glass window of a classroom, seated in a semi-circle in front of a chalk board. Class is in session - the teacher is asking questions, pointing to the child who's hand is raised - all are listening, smiling. Inside the doors, the silence of the schixil yard is broken by Ihe sound of human voices. "Quel cst le premier jour de la scmaine," asks teacher Carole Hartley to her sludenis. "Dimanchc," a little voice speaks out. "Et quel est le qualricmc jour de la scmaine," the teacher asks. A small pause, then Ihe hands wave in the air: "Mercrc- di." Passing through to the hack of the building, the older children chatter in excited tones about going down In llie beach. It's a sunny day and Ihey plan lo gather rocks and water and lulk about Ihings scientific - in French - wilh their teacher Luc Morisscllc. It's not French class for these kids. It's just an ordinary school day. L'Ecole passc- Parlout is an independent primary French Immersion schtxil where students arc taught lhe DC schtxil curriculum hy qualified BC teachers - the only difference is that classes are entirely taught "en Francais." For Allison Payne, the opportunity to learn a different language al school is one she nnd her husband chose mil to miss oul on for their children. Two of her children presently attend the schixil and speak, listen and write French wilh the same case Ihey exhibit in English. "Because they're younger, Ihey pick il up faster and they develop belter accents," Payne said. She added that French Immersion can present some difficulties for a child for the firsl few months. They can become exhausted hy the con- ccnlralcd effort of having In learn a new language. Bul "hy the end of the year Ihey arc speaking French," she said. In ils third year of operation, L'Ecole Passe Purloin runs independent lo the regular school district. The schixil was a parent-initialed project, implemented when the district schtxil board discontinued the primary French Immersion program in the regular schools. Parents pay a fee of between $90 and $180 per monlh for their children to attend classes. The schtxil also receives partial funding under the provincial education program. Classes are small at present - with only 22 children enrolled at the school. Payne said the school could accept up to .IS students. Presently the school educates children in kindergarten up to grade three, but that may change, Payne said, depending on whether or not the school board approves an intermediate French Immersion program presently in the works - lhat decision will not be made final by the board until April 13. k mm
