McGillivray spoke at last Thursday night's regular SCRD meeting where Shugar's letter was discussed. "Industry has organized and structured this forum, not us. In light of conflicts coming down (around the seminar), we should be cautious...be seen in a neutral light." Shugar's letter, however, states that, "It appears that a very biased view of forest planning is to be expressed," judging from Ms Shugar's appraisal of the seminar's speakers list. Shugar urged that a second seminar be held in which the focus would be "the related concepts of 'wholistic' forestry and community forestry." SCRD Chairman Peggy Connor, who sat on the committee ' vhich formulated the seminar, noted that, "The Forest Advisory Committee promoted this seminar to bring in some speakers who would speak positively...I'm not ashamed to say we're a part of this...attempt to give answers on (forestry issues) that have been raised." Shugar also took exception to the fact that a $10 fee is being charged for the seminar, claiming that she was "offended". She suggested that while "industry and ministry staff will "undoubtedly" be compensated for their "day at the seminar" and have the fee "covered by their employers", members of the public (involved in forest planning) don't have access to "that kind of support". Replying to Shugar's raising of the issue of a fee, Director Jim Gurney suggested that, "It might appease some of the apprehension if it could be worked out so that it (the seminar) would be free���should one only want to attend the seminar." Gurney's statement was, in part, alluding to the fact that a lunch comes with the price of admission. Echoing���and amplifying��� Shugar's written remarks was Doreen Bartley, Corresponding Secretary of the Elphinstone Elector's Association. She appeared before the board in what proved to be an extended exchange and, aside from criticizing and condemning virtually every aspect of what she perceived to be the SCRD's in- volvemnt in the seminar, indulged in a little lecturing of the politicians. "I don't know why others couldn't be invited for rebuttal purposes," Bartley declared, adding that she was upset that the SCRD participated in funding a seminar she viewed as "a logging industry function." "Are you prepared to partially pay for a seminar (put on) by people from the 'other side'���by those opposed to the logging of our watersheds?" Ms Bartley demanded to know. Several members of the board assured Bartley that any group seeking financial support similar to that extended to the sponsors of the seminar would be accorded the "very same treatment". Director Gordon Wilson, in the only suggestion made by the board which Bartley found to her liking, wondered if perhaps the only thing that could be done at this late date was lo, "recommend to the committe involved that ticket fees already collected be refunded, that the lunch be eliminated, and thai the seminar be thrown open to all���gratis." Peggy Connor noted tentatively that, as far as she knew, the people catering the lunch had already bought much of the foodstuffs. Bartley was further upset when she learned that tickets for the event were on sale at the SCRD for "reasons of convenience". "It looks like the SCRD is putting it on," she said, reiterating a theme she'd struck throughout the discussion. "It's not our show, but the impression is that we're running it," a director was heard to say. Thursday evening Arch bishop Douglas Hambidge will preside over the last service to be held at St. Aidens Anglican church in Roberts Creek. Pictured here, left to right, are Emily Horner, Cassie Jones, Barbara Corbet!, Cynthia Jones, Marjorie Passmore, Shirley Gurr, and the Reverend Esther North (foreground). The building will be torn down after the beautiful interior decorations are moved to St. Bar- tholemew's in Gibsons. Though some of the lot will be set aside for a future place of worship, the church group will consider during the next year how the neighbourhood might benefit from a community development on Ihe property. _Jod John���one ���������,��� 'News'welcomes Davidson John Burnside, principal owner of Glassford Press, which publishes the Sunshine Coast News, has appointed Jim Davidson as the new publisher of the newspaper as well as Operations Manager of Glassford Press. There are three main items on Jim's agenda, the first being the conversion of the Coast News' production system to a Macintosh network facility. All ads and editorial copy will eventually be done on computers. Davidson is initiating a major redesign of the resilient weekly, by fully utilizing the capabilities of the "Macs." Finally, and most exciting, will be the launching of a second edition���Coast Life. A lifestyle-oriented weekly, Coast Life will be delivered on Thursdays. It will provide comprehensive cultural and sports-related coverage, in addition to up-to-the-minute news and editorial. Coast Life will also supply its readers with a wide range of articles and features. More information on all these changes will be forthcoming in an in-depth article which will appear in next week's Coast News. Health hearing held? Charges laid Charges have been laid in the hit and run accident that claimed the life of Vera Elliot, Coast News photographer, on November 20,1989. Gibsons resident Roland Fleischer has been charged with impaired driving causing death, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident. A preliminary Mal date has been set for August 6 and 7. by Stuart Burnside The Royal Commission on Health was in Sechelt, briefly, Thursday to discuss the health concerns of Sunshine Coasl residents. The commission, after advertising its intent to spend most of Thursday holding public hearings���to fully review the concerns of Coastal residents���left town shortly after one o'clock, leaving many of the would-be participants waiting outside the locked doors of Rockwood. According to a well-placed source who wishes to remain anonymous, many of those left standing outside were elderly citizens, "some of whom had, literally, gone to great pains to attend the public hearings." When contacted by the Coast News, Royal Commission Councillor Paul Williamson said that, despite the fact that the commision had sent a conformation of its Sechelt schedule (Thursday, 9:30 am to noon and 1:30 to 5 pm) out for public release on February 15, the commission felt its job had been satisfactorily completed by 1 pm. Williamson said he felt that everything had been done that was necessary regarding the change from the advertised times. "Perhaps we could have done more advertising to announce the change in schedule," he said, "but we contacted everyone who had made submissions to the commission to find out if they, in fact, also wanted to make a verbal address. We based the length of the hearings on their responses." Williamson noted that the purpose of the hearings was to discuss only those issues or topics received by the commission in writing. It was not a public forum for the voicing of "random opinions". However, according to the February 15 news release received by the Coasl News, "the general public is encouraged to attend the hearings." Commission Chairman Judge Peter Seaton is quoted as saying, "This is an opportunity for people lo participate in the formation of health care policies." One of those most put out by the commission's actions was Dr. Francis Konopasek of Sechelt, who himself had sub- milted a "brief to the Royal Commission a month ago. In it, Konopasek expressed his concern regarding the lack of medical services provided on the Sunshine Coast for children. He cited a "lack of an ophthalmologist, audiologist, speech therapist, physiologist, psychotherapist for children, and obstetrician." Konopasek told the Coast News about a premature baby born on the Coast that died shortly after birth, possibly due Please turn to page 10 is House rescue effort 'bogged down' by Rose Nicholson Efforts to save the 'Old Doc Inglis House' as a heritage building may have temporarily bogged down, but members of the Gibsons Landing Heritage Society (GLHS) are determined to find a solution. "There are lots of options," said Dianne Evans, "but we need to talk to all the principals." The Heritage Society is looking for support from Gibsons Council and have asked that aldermen form a Heritage Advisory Committee as outlined in the Municipal Act, using as a suggested model a similar committee in Victoria. But so far aldermen have declined to take an active part in the preservation effort, maintaining that the Heritage Society is the best organization to deal with the issue. The historic house was built in 1914 by pioneer Dr. Fred Inglis, who for many years was the only doctor on the Coast. Oldtimers remember his forays on primitive dirt roads, by horseback, and later by motorcycle and Model T and Model A Fords, to bring medical help lo early settlers. For a time the house was shared by J.S. Woodsworth, founder of the CCF Party (now the NDP), and his family. Bruce Woodsworth, son of J.S. Woodsworth, in an article in the SunCoast Writers' Forge book Our Sunshine Coast, says, "In June of 1918 our family joined the Inglis family to share the large home...and we children explored the wilderness and beaches of Gower Point. "...for us children,...Gibsons Landing was a place of magic," added Grace Maclnnes (nee Woodsworth). "It's a major part of the history of this town," said Heritage Society member Phil Gtulin. "It definitely bears more than just casual interest." When the house was recently put up for sale by its present owners, many people, par- ticularly the members of the Heritage Society, hoped to be able to officially designate it as a heritage house and preserve it for the town. "Heritage buildings are things that don't come back," said Fred Inglis. "You can always build another parking lot. You've got lo get your priorities straight." At this point, neither the town nor the GLHS have the money to purchase the property. "We have neither the money behind us, nor a proposal before us," said Alderman Margaret Morrison at a recent council meeting. Money is available from the provincial Heritage Trust for restoration of the building, but not for purchase of the property. Heritage Society members feel strongly that the present owners should be fairly compensated for the property and recognized for their efforts to rescue the old home from a state of disrepair. "They took it from a state of total disrepair and brought it back," said Gaulin. "Of anyone in the near past, they are the ones most responsible for its being in the condition it's in now." One of the options suggested at a meeting of interested parties last week was to move the house to Holland Park and use it as a neighbourhood house. Batyah Fremes, a member of the Gibsons Neighbourhood Society Steering Committee, said that her group would like to see such a house established in the town. "There is a great need here for a place that community groups could use for a variety of purposes," she said. But the idea of moving the house is not acceptable to the GLHS. "It loses all its heritage value when you move it," said Inglis. "We're trying to come up with something more concrete. We'd like to talk with interested parties���the owners, the prospective developers. Right now it's hard to sort everything out." "There has to be flexibility and the council has to be supportive of that," added Evans. "Either you want to save your heritage or you don't. We need the town's support." JJ Coast News, March 4,1991 EDITORIAL ��� OPINION Fooling ourselves Four years ago a far-ranging, entirely dispassionate, study conducted by the Japanese offered a bleak assessment of this country's present status in the world community of nations. We were, it appeared, a third world nation with a first world standard of living. We bring this up at this time not because of any desire to induce an orgy of public self-flagellation but, partially at least, because the Japanese study results have gained in credence during the intervening four years. For the second time in less than a decade we are hip deep in a major recession and sinking more with every passing tick of the Bay Street tape. Michael Wilson's stiff-upper-bottom-line "bite the bullet" budget- complete with its transparently nonsensical wage restraints for prime minister and cabinet ministers���might be easier to swallow if it cut as deeply into corporate pockets as it does into public programs. The great Canadian unwashed is told, with amazingly cheeky self-serving smugness, that this budget eschews any rise in the income tax���because people are already struggling like so many force-fed geese to stomach the GST. "Thank Goddawa for the GST! Re-elect Dumrooney For Life!" is, we assume, the slogan we tumble-governed Canucks should be taking to the streets with. But, as a third world country with a first world standard of living, what gives us the unmitigated nerve to sign up for a round of military polo with more economically sound players, and blow a billion or two on our tournament expenses? Instead of helping bomb Iraq's manufacturing base back into the stone age, we should be rescuing our own from a similar era of metaphorical regression and all too actual neglect. It is one thing to borrow money to feed, clothe, and house one's citizens, yet another to fight a war of no consequence to our own security on the if-come just to prove a point. What happened? As late as last Thursday we spied craft, motoring and under sail, plying their leisurely way across Halfmoon Bay, among other locations on the coast. Shirt-sleeved fishermen lolled in the fickle afternoon sun, more in touch with the balmy weather than with their bait. Then that great stage manager of the theatre of life signalled a scene���and set���change, transforming early spring back into late winter. Ah, well. All the world's a stage and we are merely players. But it would be nice if we had a chance to have the appropriate costumes in our dressing rooms, ready and waiting for just such sneaky curtain calls! -from our files ��� We Remember When 5 YtAHS AUO Sechelt merchants attended a presentation by consultant Patricia Baldwin on the feasibility of a revitaliza- tion project for the downtown area.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES t Year US; 6 Monthl t20; Foreign 1 Yetr M0 Raise the drawbridge! Well, it finally happened. After eight months on the Coast, I have been publicly branded as harbouring a "drawbridge state of mind." Because my accuser is steeped like a tea bag in the culturaUnd sociological pathology of the peninsula, I take his insights and observations more seriously than most. "You move here on a Friday extolling the myriad virtues of our little strip of rapidly-eroding rural pleasantness, a smile on your lips and a song in your heart." Right on! That's exactly where I was at and coming from���like a brush fire���back in July of '90. But, steady, he's not finished. "Come Sunday, however, you have decided that life on your newly-discovered Sunshine Coast would be perfect if only no other living soul walking on two legs was allowed to enter. If only one could raise the drawbridge and ensure that things would remain the same in perpetuity." If what my shrewd amigo is saying feels tailormade, so be it. If what he's diagnosing is the dreaded DM (Drawbridge Mentality), then I've got it bad but it sure feels Rood! WELCOME TO THE SUNSHINE COAST. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AROUND. THEN GO HOME! Now that's a bumper sticker I'd slap onto the rear of my old Mazda. In fact, I bet if I had ten thousand of the suckers run off tomorrow and sold them for a looney a piece, I'd sell out in an hour. Now maybe not everyone who bought one would actually put it on their vehicles, not wanting to come right out and admit how they felt, but they'd buy one. Let me try and put this sub rosa issue into something resembling a perspective. Last May Denise and I spent two days prowling around the Coast, sniffin' out every known waterfront hacienda within our price range from Gibsons to Garden Bay. Well, aside from the sheer bucolic wonder of it all, neighbours, what supplied me with the greatest kick in the head was something I simply did not see. Cars. Not traffic���cars. It takes a certain, incalculable number of vehicles to constitute "traffic" and, on those sun- kissed days in May, there were so few vehicles traversing the two-lane ribbon of country highway called 101, that I thought for a moment we'd taken a wrong turn and wound up entirely in the sticks. WELCOME TO THE SUNSHINE COAST. IF VOU CAN READ THIS YOU'RE TOO CLOSE FOR OUR COMFORT! Now, eight months later, I find myself inventing bumper stickers as a way of sublimating my desire to run for dictator and making it 1000 per cent illegal to enter the Commonwealth of Sunshine Coast Communities for a momenl longer than it takes to spend all one's tourist dinero. As for emigration, that's easy. As someone departs this vale of salt water, wood, and one-traffic- light towns���another winner of the "Live On The Sunshine Coast National Essay Contest" gets to move in. Look at it this way. Umpteen eons ago when our ancestors were out of the trees but just barely up on their hind legs, no apologies were made for shooing excess flies away from the honey. It wasn't considered "anti-social" to crack excess skulls if the inhabitants of those domes were trying to turn a perfectly adequate ten-hominid waterhole into a dried-up twelve-hominid boneyard. Where survival is at stake, and survival can be expressed in many different permutations, then sharing must give way lest everyone, or everything, perish. Sounds brutal, sounds primitive, and it even strikes me as a little...extreme. But try this. People from an urban waterhole, one fast approaching Hong Kong density, glance across Howe Sound and lick their lifestyle-starved chops at the Sunshine Coast. They move here in a slowly-accelerating, inexorable stream for all the same reasons that those already living here came in the first place. KEEP HEADING NORTH. THE SUNSHINE COAST STARTS AT POWELL RIVER. But the more weary urban nomads���as I was eight long, long months ago���who pitch their tents on the Coast, the less the Coast remains what it was the day before. The quality of life that only three years ago allowed one to virtually stroll down the center line of the 101 from Earl's Cove to Langdale now features bumper-to- bumper piston engine snake dances and behemoth truck convoys straight out of Mad Max. So I'm a victim of "Drawbridge Mentality (DM)?" Fine and dandy. You can't find a cure without a solid diagnosis. And I'd jolly well better come up with a cure because, cousin, what's causin' my ailment ain't about to dry up and blow away. I don't relish the infection, but pretending I'm happy about what's happening to the Coast is hardly therapeutic,- either. WELCOME TO THE SUNSHINE COAST. SETTLE DOWN. BE HAPPY. JUST DON'T TELL ANYONE BACK HOME WHERE YOU ARE... In A Nutshell t i Law is force", claims Phil by S. Nutter Some years ago a young brother of mine started a course at Algonquin College in Ottawa called 'Law for the Layman'. He had been drawn to Ottawa from Winnipeg in the first place to be the legal advisor to the Canadian Pensions Board. He had been involved with the fact that the Canadian Legion at that time had 10 lawyers full- time to press cases with the Pensions Board and I guess he felt there was a job there to be done. This particular brother, however, is really just not a civil servant type. Moreover he found that the pensions board was composed, at that time, of superannuated MPs who kept getting re-elected but were thought not of the calibre for any kind of cabinet post. Difficult to imagine perhaps when you think of some of those who were. Rather than just sit back in their plummy chairs, however, he found that these perennially returned old war-horses were endlessly in and out of his office with fiddly and fuddly and frequently fancied problems, he thought; interrupting the smooth flow of business and exerting an intolerable strain on his patience. And patience I would say is not this brother's shining virtue. Then he got ding'd by a minister (Judy LaMarsh) in a widely circulated letter. He had gone down to her bailiwick (Niagara) to investigate the fact that sundry continuing pensioners had been dead for many years. She wrote a bad- tempered, 1 would say churlish, letter laying it down that civil servants were not to go into the bailiwicks of ministers of the Crown without first obtaining permission. She was quite wrong of course, and he quite other exacerbations of the job and after a while he resigned, and after a while he resigned. Being only at the Manitoba Bar he could not practice in Ontario, but his wife by this time was superintendent of music for the school district and loved the job; and the kids were in high school, and involved in all kinds of stuff, and liked that too; he decided to look for something to do and stay around for a while. Hence the idea for the course in law for the layman. He had noticed after all, that many in government were fuzzy, to say the least, about the law. He made a deal with the president of Algonquin College (one of the then new community colleges). Phil would provide the course, and the college would advertise and provide the space, and they would split the fees. The response surprised them all. So many signed up in the first couple of weeks that they had to give him the main theatre for his lectures, and it stayed like that for as long as he carried it on. I would be in Ottawa from time to time in those days and got in to see an early one of these performances. Because performances they were. The stage held just a large blackboard on a couple of easels and a reading stand. On the dot of the hour Phil would charge on stage (he's still a bit of a charger), turn his back on the company, and write in big letters on the board the continuing theme of the whole of these lectures: LAW IS FORCE. I have to say that this theme surprised me, and clearly it surprised and puzzled and maybe even shocked a good number of his students, even those among them, and they were a good many, who belonged to the RCMP. We get used to going along with a whole idea that law is the alternative to force, that law is in fact our bulwark against force. 'Law is Force' is of course true. Not only in the sense that many of our most cherished laws were only made possible through revolutions and wars over hundreds of years; but in the sense that any law about anything (no smoking for example) is an act of imposition against certain particular members of the society, and that is force. But what has all this to do with the war in the desert you ask. Not that much maybe. But there were certainly voices raised, on the screens and in the streets, which led you to suppose that there were people out there, maybe people busily engaged in devising new laws to run the land, who really believed that the use of force was not just something to be avoided, but actually something unthinkable 'in our time'. And that would be just plain sentimental. And sentimentality is bad for the brain. Your community's AWARD-WINNING newspaper . Coast News, March 4,1991 LETTERS Some found meeting a 'spectacle' Editor: I am writing to comment on the meeting held by some concerned Crowe Road residents at Roberts Creek Hall on Wednesday, February 13. Subsequent reports listed attendance at approximately 250 who enthusiastically supported the call to ban clearcut logging on the slopes of Elphinstone Mountain. While the majority of those in attendance were in favour of the public statement of position given by Donna Shugar, at least ,Dnc-lhird of the audience was made up of residents who do not agree. In fact, many of us find such well-rehearsed spectacles very concerning. Much was made of the lack of official representation by the Ministry of Forests. Considering the events leading up to the meeting, and the fact that they are continually being protrayed as evil perpetrators of some sinister conspiracy against the environment, it is no wonder that they declined to set themselves up as targets for abuse. The ministry personnel have a wide range of responsibilities, one of which is to create a forum for public input relating to forest land management. They are open for business five days a week, and receive a lot of input from a wide range of "concerned citizens". The public forum, as we witnessed in Roberts Creek, was set up only to discredit their efforts. The issue of clearcut logging is very important; the economic future of the Sunshine Coast will depend heavily on which route we choose to follow. The meeting at Roberts Creek Hall forced the issue to a political level. Any attempt by a special interest group to use pressure tactics to impose their agenda is an attempt to bypass the democratic process. There are many more facts and opinions to be tabled for public discussion before we decide which is the best option for all the residents of the Sunshine Coast. Gordon Todd Liberals 'adrift, going nowhere' Editor: Pintles and gudgeons? Anyone with the sea in mind knows that these little gizmos secure the tiller or rudder to the sea boat and, without the tiller, the boat is in irons, which is where the Liberal Party finds itself these past six years. Since Trudeau left the helm, we have suffered the likes of a loser Turner, and now, since the party always alternates its leaders between English and French speaking Canadians, we look to the unwinning Chretien with the party deeply divided. All the headquarters office does over the past number of years, is send out pleas for funds, usually stuffed with a form letter from some of the old crew: Senator Molgat of Manitoba; Herb Gray, the leader of the opposition until Chretien gets his seat in Commons; and the most recent onslaught from the Honourable Don Johnston who begs for funds like he plays the piano��� with a flair. The party is broke and has a debt of four million plus, a party rudderless, divided and unable to attract members or funds. It is an endangered species. After 35 years active in the party, I, like Trudeau, retired at the acceptable age of 65, and the onslaught of circular letters leave me cold. It would be cheaper indeed to go out and buy a leader and the debt would vanish. Even the unwashed know that given the right man or woman the funds roll in, leaving the policy never to be implement. Some years ago, shortly after Turner's so-called "comeback", they came out with the "brick" fund. Buy a brick for the new headquarters in Ottawa for $100. The said brick, with your name on it,�� would be trowelled into the main lobby. This went over like a ton of bricks, and, in Don Johnston's recent letter, he reveals that the names of donors would be placed in the conference room alongside former prime ministers as they had lost control of the building. Even the casual observer knows what that means; the bank has taken over, and one suspects that is why the party moguls are out trying to sell Liberal visa cards with the Royal Bank donating a portion of each application to the Liberal Party. The sum and substance of all this is the party is adrift, going nowhere, no pintles and gudgeons, rudderless and endangered to the point that I shall not live long enough to see see another Liberal government in Ottawa. Dick Kennett Inglis house's value, beauty cited Editor: I would like to add my voice to John Burnside's enlightening story of the old Inglis House, in his Musings column. The historic Value, and yes, beauty of that old house, that has stood like a lighthouse in the midst of our community should not be demolished, or sold to the highest bidder. John's bottom line said it all, "If we let the treasures of the past slip away undefended, we will diminish ourselves more than we know." The last time I wrote a letter to the Vancouver Sun, it concerned the proposed demolition of Christ Church Cathedral. There was a bitter dispute going on about its worth; even the bishop thought that the value of the land might benefit the church as a whole. I'm happy to say that the people won out, and the church is still there. That little corner of the West End of Vancouver had been saved, with the green lawn, and timely messages of the Good Book for all to see. In a steel, concrete and plastic society we needed that.

The owners feel the new name reflects the function the store fills in this community.

The phone number is currently listed under 'Roberts Creek General Store" in information.

COLLINS SPEAKS I had the pleasure of being invited to lunch with The Honorable Mary Collins on February 20 at the Coast Plaza by Stanley Park. I came by this invitation through DAWN of B.C. and was seated two places from the MP at the head table. She spoke to us as Minister Responsible for the Status of Women and the Minister of State for Seniors. One hundred and thirty-six million dollars has been put aside for Canadians to work together to eliminate family violence from our society over a four year period. The federal strategy will involve six key elements to address these goals: increasing public awareness about family violence and changing attitudes; strengthening the federal legal framework; providing prevention, protection and treatment services to Indians on reserves; strengthening family violence intervention and treatment services, especially for high risk populations; increasing the availability of housing for victims; and enchancing national information exchange and coordination. The Minister related that in Canada, the greatest obstacle to overcome in addressing family violence continues to be one of attitude. We can change laws in a matter of months, but to change attitudes, values and behaviour requires years���even generations. EASTER SEALS February seemed like forever, but March is here and now we plan for the Easter Sale and Tea on Saturday, March 23. There are busy hands at crafts and those of you that create at home. There will be an executive meeting at 10 am on March 5. all members for this one, and if you have not yet taken out membership, you may do so at the door prior to the meeting. It is urgent that you attend, as your vote is required to give your executive the power to spend money on renovations to the kitchen, a need which is long overdue. By the way, if your kid just happened to bring home a Canadian flag recently, you should see to it that this flag is returned from whence it came, namely, the Welcome Beach Hall. This flag was not easy to remove. The guy lines had to be cut and the pole ascended. This kind of vandalism is so stupid, and one wonders if parents have any idea of what their kids are up to. Hard earned funds will have to be used to replace the flag which was certainly not cheap. MANURE SALE The only annual fund-raising event undertaken by the Halfmoon Bay Cubs is about to take place soon. The boys bag and sell mushroom manure on Southwood Road from 10 am until 4 pm on March 16 and 17. It might be wise to place your order now by calling Don at 885-5208 to make sure that your order can be met. At the same time you will be helping towards funds for cub camps etc. Since last week's mention of the re-location of the caretaker's quarters at Coopers Green, many people have been expressing concern regarding sewage disposal from both the quarters and from the toilets at Coopers Green Hall. Parks Superintendent Steve Alexander has assured this columnist that septic tanks are in place for both buildings, and that the standards are even higher than those demanded by the Health Department. Give Steve a call at the SCRD and he can provide all the technical details. The best news we've had this week is that the killing has finally stopped in the Gulf.

The auxiliary operates the showcase of knitted goods at the clinic, and also operates the Bargain Barn in Madeira Park. All their proceeds go to improve facilities at the clinic. In 1990, a fax machine and diabetic testing equipment were installed. Thousands of dollars have been spent throughout the years since the clinic was first built. With more of the public using the clinic, the need for equipment grows as does the need for more members to keep the auxiliary active. There are only about 10 dedicated members left to carry the load. A treasurer is urgently required as is anyone who could spare a little bit of time towards a great cause.

HOSPITALIZED / j, It is a very pleasant relief to see that Mrs. Bea Hallberg is FGMONT NEWS by Dtrie Percy, 883-M28 Being bom and raised in Vancouver has left me without the ability to appreciate snow on the first of March. It simply does not compute, especially after the last few weeks of balmy, bright sunshine we were able to enjoy. 1 bet more than a few see- were sown only to be met by that big old Arctic front. No sooner did the full moon drop into the western horizon than black clouds of inclement weather began their march across the skies of the still sleeping residents of Egmont. For me, it was a day to remember. As anyone with even a minimal amount of hearing was aware, our resident crew of treeplanters was being flown in and out of downtown Egmont by helicopter. When we flew up on Thursday morning, it was still reasonably calm, but, by afternoon, a good wind was howling down both Jervis and Sechelt Inlets. Strong gusts of wind made it nearly impossible for the pilot to get his helicopter in to get us off the mountain. There were many tense moments as, three by three, we were precariously loaded into a machine literally being thrown around in the wind. Thanks to the very competent pilot for delivering us safely back to home base. Meanwhile, I'm happy to report that we have peppered those hills with plenty of healthy, hearty young cedar and fir seedlings which will become our children's forest. recuperating now at home, after her short stay in St. Mary's.

Coast News, March 4,1991 Qas project on target Planning and construction of local natural gas distribution systems are on schedule following B.C. Utilities Commission approval of an Interim Operating Agreement between Centra Gas and 19 Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast municipalities. The Commission approved the agreement after a three-day public hearing in Victoria in January. Included in the agreement are the terms and conditions under which the company will construct, operate and maintain its distribution facilities in each community. "The Commission's early approval helps keep our project on target," said Centra Gas President Robert O'Shaughnessy. "With the continued cooperation of each municipality we are confident that our very tight schedules can be maintained." During the public hearing, the municipalities described to the Commission the impaci thai the construction program could have on local administration. Centra Gas has agreed to schedule its activities in a manner that will facilitate smooth approvals. "We will be working closely with officials in each community to help them accommodate the short-term incremental workload generated by our project." O'Shaughnessy said the Interim Operating Agreement is a good document that will provide the base for the Final Agreement with the municipalities. He said company officials are immediately beginning work with each municipality to develop the final contract. "We consider this the beginning of a long and strong partnership with each community," said O'Shaughnessy. Centra Gas is spending $200 million to construct its local distribution systems. The company expects to pay municipalities more than $29 million in local taxes during the first 10 years of operation. Although most of his concerns regarding the Interim Operating Agreement have been answered, Gibsons' Mayor Eric Small told the Coast News "I'm satisfied...that the agreement cannot now simply be imposed. If negotiations (between the gas company and the municipalities) fail, (everything) goes back to the B.C. Utilities Corn- Small expressed disappointment that nil municipality will not be receiving gas service until September of 1992. "Gibsons will be the second-last (of the 19 municipalities) to be provided with gas," Small said, adding that the company's "excuse" for this centered around "...having to bridge several creeks to get the gas to Gibsons." Apparently this obstacle could involve a major set back in terms of time, depending on just how quickly this phase of the operation is put into action. Continued from page 1 in part to the lack of an on-duty obstetrician on the Coast. As it turned out, an obstetrician had to be hydrofoiled from Nanaimo to Davis Bay where there were also problems docking. Konopasek said that when he arrived at Rockwood sometime before 1:30 pm to answer queries the commission might raise about riis submission, he found that the doors were locked. Managing to locate a commissioner, Dr. Konopasek was "shocked" to discover that the commission was "unaware of his submission". The doctor later found out, by contacting commission headquarters, that while his brief had been reviewed by staff Twenty-four students at Gibsons Elementary participated la this year's Heritage Week Photo and Story Contest. Six entries were chosen and forwarded to Victoria to compete In provincial Judging. ���Joei JoaniloM photo researchers, the actual members of the commission were unaware of its existence. As it turned out, Konopasek wound up driving the commissioner he had located to the airport, "to get a chance to talk to him about my brief." The doctor later learned that his brief would be given to all members of the commission and that they would "be in touch". Konopasek told the Coast News that, while speaking to Victoria, he discovered that of the 100 or so submissions made by parties on the Sunshine Coast, only 12 were discussed Thursday in Sechelt. While he was submitting his brief and working on behalf of "all the children on the Coast," Dr. Konopasek readily notes that he has three handicapped children "of my own" and that this fact has served as a motivating factor in his efforts.

LETTERS Nature 'temple' needed Editor's Note: A copy of the following was received for publication. Dear Peggy Connor and Directors of the Regional District: As a boy, living in Gibson's Landing, growing from three to six years in age, the announcement that the Woodsworth and Inglis families (total 16) were going on a picnic to Shepherd's Rock (later renamed Gospel Rock) brought joyous shouts. We anticipated craggy fir trees with bald eagles perched atop, fishermen's 'one-lunger' boats far down below near Salmon Rock with the occasional seal's head visible, mysterious red- barked arbutus trees, granite rock lookouts, and in the spring, wild purple violets and orange tiger lilies. As a young man teaching high school in what is now the School Supply Annex, 1 often wandered off after school to find solace from the day's problems, and to return refreshed ���especially when my circuit included the trails around Gospel Rock. Local residents in 1991 badly need such a beautiful temple for communicating with nature. Somewhat brashly, I strongly recommend that the Regional District, perhaps with financial help from the provincial government, from Gibsons Council and citizens in general, take bold steps to purchase the entire Gospel Rock as a park, to have as a practical living monument for all people, in perpetuity- Bruce Woodsworth, P. Eng. Positive feedback Editor: It's always nice to read a newspaper that employs diverse columnists such as Messrs. Burnside and Nutter, an editor that paraphrases Bob Dylan and also doesn't devote the better part of a page to pseudo-news, such as a winning real estate agent. Kudos to y'all.

Editor: Hyak, acquired from Garden Bay in 1968, was an ambassador for his species. Approximately 10 million visitors saw him in his 23 years here, were touched by his presence and left with a great awareness of killer whales. It can be argued that killer whales can be seen in the wild. There is a growing whale watching industry and certainly the more urbanized our society becomes the greater is our need to be in touch with animals. A vitally practical point is the sheer number of people needing education. Can you imagine close to one million people annually whale watching in Rob- son Bight, as that is the number that learn about whales at the Vancouver Aquarium. There is no doubt the whales would leave the area. The killer whales at the Vancouver Aquarium receive the very best of care. The 120 tons of herring, salmon, sole and pollock they eat annually are of premium quality. The food is fished at a particular time of year and is done so under a quality control contract to ensure the whales' nutritional needs. Vitamins a are added daily. The public presentations involving the whales are critical for the whales' stimulation and exercise. In 1983 Hyak became very ill. With three experienced marine mammal veterinarians, extensive medical and technical support from a local hospital and Hyak's masters don't understand reactions six months of extensive care, Hyak pulled through. Dr. Dick Hooper, a St. Paul's Hospital cardiologist, said, "Few people in BC received the quality of medical attention given to Hyak during his illness." Although Hyak recovered we were never able to fully diagnose the specific area of infection. In January of this year, when Hyak again became ill, we brought all medical and technical resources to bear. With our present veterinarian and our many associates, we worked on a medical program for Hyak, now an older whale with a much reduced immune system, indicative of all older animals, including humans. On Saturday, February 16, when he suddenly relapsed and died at 3 pm, it was an extreme emotional shock to all of us. We are professionals here and we knew we had to act quickly if we were to find the cause for Hyak's death. His life had served great purpose and so too would his death. An immediate post mortem results in the most accurate and relevant clinical picture for a pathologist. We quickly organized a crane and truck to remove Hyak's body from the pool and take it to a barge where the post mortem would be performed. The post mortem started at 9 pm and was completed by 4 am, Sunday, February 17. During the post mortem it is necessary to remove some sections of skin and blubber to expose the internal organs for examination. We wanted Hyak to have a burial at sea with a few of the trainers present. His body was wrapped in a canvas sling, enclosing the pieces that had been removed for the post mortem. The sling was tied closed with rope and weighted. Around noon Sunday the body was taken to a 200 fathom area of the Strait of Georgia and put overboard for a respectful burial. Some of the portions of skin and blubber floated free of the canvas wrapping. As you are aware, due to a strong southeasterly they floated to shore in Sechelt. Now this aspect has completely overshadowed everything else. This was a truly unfortunate circumstance and one which is getting far more attention than is warranted. Despite the desperate needs of some to expose a perceived "cover up", 1 hope you and your readers now understand why the autopsy was performed immediately and the impeccable credentials of those involved. We do not understand the value of focusing so much attention on the events which occurred in Sechelt over the past week. In fact, we feel a strong responsibility to maintain as much dignity, truth and discretion befitting the loss of an old friend���especially one who had touched so many. As a group of scientists, educators and conservationists we cannot determine what contribution to our knowledge of whales is served by so focusing on some pieces of blubber on the beach. K.

Coast News, March 4,1991 Tim Turner carries the word Howe Sound lectures begin �� > by Rose Nicholson r For most Sunshine Coast residents, Howe Sound is that body of water they half- consciously sail across when making their way by ferry to , and from Horseshoe Bay. If they notice anything, it is the ferry's wake, giving little or no thought to Howe Sound as a living entity. But Tim Turner has a much broader concept. He sees Howe Sound as a complex ecological system. One with an intricate underwater terrain of great depths, shallow ridges, and little known patterns of tidal currents. And he expands this concept even further to include the ; whole drainage system of the watershed that feeds into the Sound, a huge area that takes in "the Squamish Valley to beyond -Whistler. I In an interview with the Coast News in his Gibsons home that overlooks, fittingly ;enough, Howe Sound, Turner explains that the area is a typical representation of southern coastal BC, with a geological 'framework that includes recent Volcanic centres and high Seismic risk, steep slopes, slides )nd mountain streams. The ecosystem is affected by communities, pulp mills, a chemical plant, road and rail links, past hiining activity, forest Harvesting and a major port. And Howe Sound itself supports an important fisheries industry and has significant recreational potential. - This fall there will be a major scientific conference on Bowen Island to study the area. The four day conference will be attended by 50 to 60 top scientists from all across North America, members of federal and provincial ministries, and industry representatives who will attempt to bring together all the information already known about this area, and identify the areas that still need to be studied. Backed by the federal departments of Fisheries and Oceans, Environment Canada and Geological Survey Canada, Tim Turner will be acting as an "advance man" on this project, presenting to schools and the public a series of information Tim Turner previews the underwater model of Howe Sound and the large scale map of the watershed that he will be using in his presentations to local audiences. See story. ���Rote Nicholson photo lectures in Gibsons and the other communities in the watershed. "We are looking at the natural system and how humans influence it, and what the future holds for the humans who live in this drainage system," said Turner. "We're going to have to do better than we're doing now so that our future is sustainable, so that the economic development within this drainage system is sustainable. "The major theme of the technical conference is, what do we know, and what do we not know? Where there are big gaps in our knowledge, let's develop some research projects that will Proposed SILVICULTURE PRESCRIPTION Notice of pre-harvest silviculture prescription, pursuant to Section 3 of the silviculture regulations.

The purpose of the educational program in the schools is to heighten the students' understanding and awareness, and perhaps that familiarity will breed a little concern, a heightened sense of responsibility. They will want to know more, and that's when the second phase of the project will happen." For Turner, an integral part of this "second phase" would be an active involvement of students in research projects that would add to the body of. knowledge of Howe Sound and its watershed. He suggests things like an 'adopt-a-beach'' program where students would monitor the living organisms on the beaches to find out what changes occur from year to year. "You couldn't hire a research consultant at $50,000 a year to do that, but it would be a great project for a school. "Very little environmental. science information is available on a local level, and that's what makes kids excited, when they can relate to what's going on at home." PUBLIC * AUTO * AUCTION Sat.

For the rest of the school year, students and teachers at Langdale Elementary will be focusing their attention on a variety of projects centered around the study of Howe Sound. He will be giving his first presentation at that school on March 5, followed by one at Gibsons Elementary (on March 6), Elphinstone Secondary, and a public lecture at Langdale school on March 12 at 7:30 pm. Following that will be presentations at over 12 schools from Horseshoe Bay to Whistler. When asked what got him started on his 'crusade', Turner talked about his eight years experience as a high school teacher of earth sciences and geography but, more significantly, he expressed his ideas about individual responsibility. As an avid sea kayaker and hiker, he saw that, "the writing on the wall is so legible now. I want to take this on as my own involvement, my own way of assisting in turning our society around. "I have a strong belief that individuals make a difference. I've had sufficient contact with individuals who have made a difference, who have really impressed on me the need to stick your neck out and not wait till ihe next guy makes a move. The idea is to just get started and the thing will begin to develop a momentum of its own. "It's happening everywhere ���in government, in industry. Environment Canada is going forward in ways it never thought it would, and it's all a function of individual initiative. "One of the important things that needs to come out of this is the concept of questions. Science is a loosely held set of facts that have big holes. What we're attempting to do is have people recognize that the experts don't know much, and we need to know more. Scientific research is imperative so that we are clear as to the impact we're having, and some of the ways in which we can mitigate that impact. ,,,, , "I don't want this to be just an isolated event.

It seems that gardening is one of the growth industries of the decade, which speaks for itself in this busy modernistic and computerized age. It is therapeutic for the mind, body and soul. It has displays of Nature's artistic beauty, is productive, can be relaxing, gives satisfaction, and we are always learning, no matter what age we are. The weather pattern, with changes in temperature, high winds and even snow, can cause damage to trunks, branches and shrubs and can uproot some of our trees. We must begin repairs now to fend off diseases and insects which attack the cambium layer just under the bark, which is responsible for the protection of the stems and new growth. Splints can give stability to broken limbs, and they will heal just like our bones.

BLUE HERON INN As we arrive at the Blue Heron Inn, we decide to ponder a while to enjoy Ihe view of Porpoise Bay on a lovely early spring evening. Entering the dining room, we are greeted by our charming hostess, Heather, who has a table by the window reserved for us. There is gentle Moxart music tastefully playing in the background as we study the menu. Menu studying here is quite a challenge as each item it so tempting. Fresh from the ocean we are offered red snapper, Sechelt Inlet Dungeness crab, Atlantic lobster, salmon wilh oriental black bean sauce, Grilled oysters from local farms, smoked black Alaska cod and tiger prawns and chicken satay. Those who prefer meat are offered lamb Salisbury, veal Parmesan, chicken, pork tenderloin and rack of lamb Dijonnaise. After much consideration my husband decided on the tiger prawns and chicken, while my choice was the smoked Alaska cod. Neither of us regretted our choices. Our meals started off with delicious beef, lamb and beef vegetable soup served with a loaf of warm french bread. The tiger prawns and chicken came with Indonesian rice, lots of spices but nothing harsh or too hot, fresh carrots, broccoli, cantelope, pineapple, fried bananas, strawberry and a garnish of parsley. My husband was in complete ecstacy as he tackled this more than ample plate of perfectly cooked fare. He mumbled his pleasure with each mouthfull. There was a duet of satisfied mumbling as I sampled the generous serving of the smoked black Alaska cod which came with new potato and lots of fresh vegetables. The cod was steamed just right which made the distinctive flavour a truly mouth-watering experience. By the time we had devoured our main course there was no room for the cheesecake which was offered for dessert. Maybe next time. There most certainly will be a next time, and several next times, because we simply must try each and every item on this wonderful menu.

Coast News, March 4,1991 imhtamMi 1FE-LOC Rolling through the Rockies by Peter Trower f Banff, Alberta���with , its " stately old buildings and breathtaking mountain setting���has justly been called one of the most beautiful (Owns in North America. I remember it vaguely from a trip through the Rockies as an English evacuee in 1940. It has lost none of its unique charm. Al this point in lime���over 40 years later���it seems to have become a major gathering-ground for members of the counter-culture. Longhaired types with rucksacks and guitars are everywhere, thronging the sidewalks in frayed jeans and jackets. Strident rock music drifts from cafes. It is like a last sland of the fading 'Love Generation'. Perhaps ihis influx of aging hippies has brought the price down. In any event, ihey prove -���Surprisingly reasonable. Wc Yinrj a decent-enough room in '.' an old red brick hotel and have '.' a leisurely supper. i' *' ','��� During the nighl, the murky clouds disperse. We wake to And clear skies and sunlight gilding the snow-crested battlements of the mountains. We could not have hoped for a more salubrious day lo make our northern run through the Rockies. Exhilarated, we set out. Yvonne has told me lo expect some staggering scenery. I confess I am a bit skeptical. After all, I've spent a good part of my life working among mountains. But nothing has prepared me for the awesome reality of Ihe Rockies. This keypoinl of our trip begins a bit inauspiciously. We pass Casllc Mountain���once inaptly named Mount Eisenhower���a ragged fortress-like massif of bare rock looming to our right. Il is certainly impressive but not a patch on what is to come. Wc slop for coffee beside a small alpine lake���then push on. Suddenly we turn a corner and the mountains begin lo reveal themselves in a succession of mind-boggling marvels. Impossible Rockies explode around us wind-fretted escarpments buckle up into blue cloud-flagged primordial bare benl teeth of the world snow spit lied gnaw the blank sky Each twist of Ihe highway pits us against fresh vistas trees slorm up from manless valleys lo iliin and fail against granite the peaks, the peaks, the peaks god thrones���goblin castles grotesque formations jutting starkly like ruins on a dead planet Only a fool or a blind man could fail to gasp in their presence Ihe mule fact of iheir vastness the majesty oflheir shambling march Ihey mammoth up crescendoes of slone a spectacle beggaring words as i wo small ant things scuttle by drunk on the pure wine of wonder I am genuinely spellbound by the unfolding panorama���as Yvonne knew full well I would be. The unbelievable rock sculptures hit me like body blows, one after another. It is as though each giddy mountain scarp is striving to outdo the one before it. It is so astounding that both or us are reduced to helpless���almost hysterical ���laughter. There is no other way to react. Some things arc simply too overpowering for rational response. We make frequent stops to take photographs. Spectacle follows spectacle. We pass an amazing series of cliffs called the Weeping Wall. Dozens of waterfalls gush like copious tears down rocky cheeks. Bui if the crags are crying they are surely crying for joy. This is Nature in its wildest guise, untamed and totally magnificent. to be continued...

It was reported to be a good bonspiel and all the ladies had a good time. A lot of teams have signed up for a return engagement next year. Congratulations to the club ladies for all the A event winners. Diane Johnson won the A and Nora Solinsky came in second. A North Shore team came in third, but another local team, the Skytte team, came in fourth so the locals did really well in the A event. Well done girlsl The B event winners were all from outside with the Myrah team taking the honours from the Slattery rink. C event was won by the Nahnybida team who beat out the Metcalfe team. The consolation round saw the local Reitze team take third place. We would like to extend a special thanks to Ron Baba who has prepared such excellent meals for the ladies' bonspiel for so many years. Elaine Tattrie and her ladies team did a wonderful job of decorating the club in an old west theme. We have a little more strategy for you this week. When you are determining a strategy to use in a game, it is a good idea to know your opponent. If your opponent is unknown to you, then it is best to start conservatively with a knockout style of play. After a few ends, the style of your opponent will unfold and you cart judge what is the best style to use as coumerplay, Once you know your opponent's style of play, then it is possible to counteract. If the other team likes to play a wide open game, then use a few guards since they can't hurt as long as the opposition is removing them. If they like the come around game, play your shots into the house and force them GIBSONS LANES PORTS Coast News, March 4,1991 15.

Do they prefer one turn rather than another, then force them to the opposite side of the house. Watch to see how the other team is judging the ice. If they are having trouble, then the come around game is a good game to play because the other team will have to follow you around the guards. There is a good chance they will wick off a guard and leave you with a counter. During the course of a game, the type of play will change many times depending upon the opposition, how much of the game has passed, the score and who has last stone. Knowing when to change the style of play often makes the difference between a win and a loss. 886-2086 Gibson's Landing Slo-Pitch League ,t\ ll 8:00 pm March 7, 1991 Cedars Pub 'TENTATIVE LEAGUE STARTS APRIL 15th" RETIREMENT LIVING ...

Budget slashed District #46 suffers Cluster Cheetah was �� Pharmasave's Grand Opening to greet all the youngsters at Sunnycrest Mall last weekend. Joel Johnstone photo by Stuart Burnside School District 46 will undergo a budget slash of $200,000 according to a financial report presented by Secretary Treasurer Tim Anderson at last Tuesday's board meeting. The loss of funds, according to Anderson, is a result of a provincial funding policy- block funding���implemented in districts throughout the province as of July 1990. Block funding, ideally, gives school districts more control over their expenditures by provid't.g $5,800 per student to all districts, thus allowing them to decide upon the allocation of those funds. "The amount of money in the block fund is established each year and is to be doled out to the various districts according to fluctuations in student populations," said Anderson, "with greater amounts being provided for students with special needs (blind, handicapped, or non-English speaking)." Because District 46's student population has been augmented unexpectedly by some 50 students this year, the district assumed it would be compensated with at least $4000 per student ($200,000) and has been spending as if that were the case. However, Vancouver area school districts have recently experienced a large influx of non- English speaking students, according to what Anderson was told by the Ministry of Education, and require a greater share of the block funding. "The money had to come from somewhere," said Anderson, stating that District 46, along with 15 other districts, has apparently been chosen to shoulder the shortfall. Anderson said that District 46, instead of receiving the expected increase of $200,000, had its budget cut by that amount, seven months into the fiscal year. "We thought we were whistling Dixie," Anderson told the Coast News, "now we find we're sucking wind." In his financial report, Anderson stated, "My conversations with school finance staff indicate that there will be no relief from this block recalculation. Accordingly, measures will have to be taken to reduce the impact..." Anderson told the Coast News that those measures could include a reduction in current staffing as well as cut backs on less important educational services and functions. "We won't automatically be handing out pink slips, but it is a possibility," said Anderson. When asked why he felt District 46 and 15 others had been cut while areas like the Howe Sound School District had been given increases, Anderson had no response other than it was due to "some kind of provincial calculation". No one at the offices of the Ministry of Education was available for comment as of Friday afternoon. In response to the budget cuts, the board trustees of District 46 agreed, in principle; to Anderson's suggestion that a letter be sent to the Minister of Education and MLA Harold Long, voicing the board's con; cerns over the re-appropriation of block funds so late in the fiscal year. Marina plan denied An apHcation by Kamar Development Corporation for a commercial marina at Porpoise Bay was denied by the SCRD Planning Committee. The site was considered to be "inappropriate" for the proposed marina for four reasons. The area was determined lo be environmentally sensitive. In the words of the committee "It has a 12 designation in the Sechelt Inlets Coastal Strategy. It la Important for salmon habitat and for eel grass." The committee further fell that community wharves should be encouraged, that the proposed ana for the marina is "too large", and, finally, that the upland should be developed first.

Coast News, rVarch 4,1991 SCRD launches land use plan Following a regional district decision to create a committee to develop an 'Integrated Land Use Strategy' for the Sunshine Coast, Director Gordon Wilson has prepared a draft of the terms of reference for such a committee. "It must be made clear," said Wilson, "that direct input from the community, industry, the forest service and other government agencies will be required if we are to be successful in having these groups 'buy into' the plan. "The nature of the work that needs to be done within this district is greater than the sum of the many small local issues that are currently under discussion within such committees as the Outdoor Recreation Advisory Committee, the Forestry Advisory Committee, Ihe Integrated Watershed Management Plan and the Local Resources Utilization Plan. "This process will develop an integrated land management plan for the entire district, with a view to removing conflict, and providing an operating strategy for local industry, so that the primary goals of watershed management, and maintenance of a viable logging industry, that is sensitive to environmental and residential concerns, may be achieved." Wilson suggests that the new committee be modelled after the Foreshore Advisory Task Force and examine land management. Portable Toilet Rentals ��� Construction Sites ��� Special Events ��� Outdoor Picnics ��� Weddings, etc. Alio: Septic Tank Pumping Bonniebrook Industries 886-7064 not just land use; a distinction that would provide for adequate discussion and agreement on the various logging methods, and other industrial practices, that may take place within selected land use designations within the plan. "There is some urgency in getting this underway," said Wilson. He went on to say that he has had enthusiastic response to this initiative from the community, the ministries and industry. "I thought I might be stonewalled, but I was delighted at the positive response." "This study may well be a pilot project that could, if successful, be used as a model for other areas within the province." Directors gave enthusiastic approval to Wilson's plan, paving the way for applications for funding, which must come, Wilson emphasized, from a variety of sources, so that no one group would be able to exert undue influence. "We need to look at the macrocosm, not just the microcosm," stressed Wilson. "We protect the Tetrahedron, then log the hell out of Lion Lake," Wilson said by way of illustration. The motion lent Director Wilson the authority to approach governments and industry, as well as to seek potential sources of funding.

The activist-oriented crowd, numbering some 350, heard other unions���among them the IWA���call for government action to protect jobs and health standards (in the long term) through tougher environmental legislation enforcement. This could be accomplished, it was argued, through recycling pro grammes and value-added policies. The weekend conference was organized by the Save Georgia Strait Alliance and attracted what Roger Lagasse of the Sunshine Coast Watershed Alliance (SCWA) described as "a gathering of people concerned about the ecological health of the Strait of Georgia bio-region." In a press release issued following the event, SCWA pointed out that "With one million gallons of toxic waste being poured into the Strait every minute and 63,000 barrels of oil spilt annually, there was no problem arriving at a consensus for action." The 21 "expert speakers", panelists and moderators tried to come to grips with a wide range of topics related to and affecting the environmental health of the Strait. These included population growth, pulp mill pollution, ocean dumping, role of government, aboriginal rights issues and military testing at Nanoose Bay. Conference action recommendations called for the Save Georgia Strait Alliance to continue networking throughout the bio-region. It was agreed Gospel Rock support pours in by Jin Michael Sherman The Sunshine Coast Regional District, which is seeking to And a way to purchase the Gospel Rock property and turn the area into a park, has, to date, received in excess of 100 letters of support from coast residents. In addition, a petition from Gibsons���where most of the letters originated���was received containing 24 names, also in support of the SCRD's efforts. Many letter writers made a point of stating their willingness to put their money where their heart is. Noted Gibsons resident Joyce Dayton: "Extra monies will no doubt be needed for such a purpose... I would support you (SCRD) to whatever extent I could, whether in the form of an increased property tax or a fundraising scheme." Others writing to the regional board���requesting help for the project and demanding action ��� echoed Ms Dayton's sentiments with regard to pitching in financially. "I am willing to pav more taxes or help finan^ daily in any way to make this purchase possible," wrote Mrs. M.J. Daly of Gibsons. "Protecting the 'quality of life' is what I want from my government," declared Victor Kennor, also of Gibsons. SCRD Chairman Peggy Connor told the Coast News that she and her fellow directors were gratified by the response. "It indicates that what we're doing (as regards Gospel Rock) is really worth it." Connor went on to note that she knew many of those who have written in about the project. "They're people who don't normally get on the bandwagon and shoot off a letter," claimed Connor. "They're sincere and self-motivated���by which I mean they're not writing these letters on behalf of some organized effort." that the second annual "Save The Strait Marathon" would be held in August to "raise awareness���and funds���to pursue the clean-up campaign. Dates of "follow-up" meetings were announced for communities all around the Strait. A public meeting regarding the role of the Sunshine Coast in the "healing" of the Strait will be held in Sechelt on March 20. According to Lagasse "Local delegates to the conference have a wealth of information they wish to share with the community and everyone is urged to attend." Attending the conference from the Sunshine Coast were representatives of the Pender Harbour Wildlife Society, the Sunshine Coast Peace Committee, the Howe Sound local of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Workers' Union, the Sunshine Coast Watershed Alliance, and the Chatelech Students Environmental Committee. A number of interested individuals from the Sunshine Coast also made the trek to Nanaimo for what was, from all accounts, a highly-successful conference. flriY way you Slice It the Classifieds bring results * ' * �� �� O 4 NEW IN CANADA NEW IN CANADA NEW IN CANADA NEW At DeVRlES ANOTHER MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN CARPET TECHNOLOGY NEW IN CANADA ^Ahead,WaIkAB0verUs" Monsanto *s exclusive fibre system that effectively fights Matting and Crushing PLUS Locked-In Stainblocker 88% nylon 12% high shrink acrylic 35% increase in twist Wear dated WARRANTY in writing!
