The protests persisted during the days of conflict which followed. The demonstrators were young���disturbed by world events, undecided about the rights and wrongs or where they should stand on issues, some firmly in the for-or-against camps of made-up minds, and others...just there. Last Tuesday a large contingent of Elphinstone Secondary School students demonstrated their desire for peace by spontaneously walking out of classes, taking to the streets with placards and signs, yelling, waving, and imploring motorists to honk their horns in support. Most did. School officials didn't openly condone the walkout and, later, police showed up to keep students off the highway. The demonstration itself had its own moments of tension, generated by the fact that not all involved saw eye-to-eye on the issue at hand. "I wasn't aware of any pro- war movement," said Grade 12 student Regan Stevens, "but there was some yelling and snowball throwing and some people giving other people a hard time for their views. I think they were just showing their immaturity." The majority of students returned to class that afternoon but, when evening came, Dayton Mackenzie, Rhys Winne and friends set up a "peace camp" in Pioneer Park, vowing to remain camped till war's end, and urging motorists and passers-by to show support. "I seriously think there should be another demonstration," Mackenzie said. "I think the more peole that do this kind of thing, the better it will be. It's difficult to put into words." But Aprile Dunlop, a Grade 9 enthusiast of Elphinstone's Peace Committee, says,"If this many people are against the war, then we might be able to prevent another one by doing what we're doing." The Peace Committee planned to go to Vancouver last Saturday to join a peace rally there. The Pioneer Park self- proclaimed "Kids for Peace," however, had their share of difficulties. Relentless rain drenched them through and through, and the next day at noon they packed up and abandoned camp after "the bylaw lady" told them they couldn't stay. "We went up to Municipal Hall and they just said forget it," Mackenzie says. "We just said Holy geez...I can't believe it." Winne says "I feel really bad. The lady there was really helpful but the Mayor wasn't around. When the Mayor gets Please turn to page 11 At Gibsons Council Provisional budget released by Rose Nicholson Gibsons Council was presented last week with the provisional budget which both Mayor Eric Small and Alderman Margaret Morrison, Chairman of the Finance Committee, stressed "is not the budget from which we establish the mill rate." "Its real necessity," said Small, "is to empower the Town to carry on business for the moment...There will be some very substantial changes to this budget. In our review of it on a line to line basis, there were many unanswered questions and we have asked for staff input on a number of things. It is certainly not a final budget." The provisional budget projects that the Town of Gibsons should reap some $4.3 million in total revenues. This figure includes $800,000 collected in the form of taxes, provincial grants to the tune of roughly $383,000, while the $1.15 million garnered on behalf of other governments is money which is strictly "passing through" the Town. Expenditures at this point break down to some $275,000 for administrative costs, nearly $434,000 for fire protection, close to $463,000 for the Aquatic Center, and that elusive $1.15 million which was collected on behalf of other governments. Miscellaneous expenses make up the balance. In further discussion of financial matters, Alderman Morrison reported that a final figure of $12 per square foot had been established as rental charges for the Health Unit, effective January 1, 1991. "The previous rental of $3.96 a square foot, established some time ago, was quite out of keeping with present rates," said Morrison "They have been subsidized fo quite some time. We feel justified in asking that they pay a reasonable rent." "The BC Building Corporation has been paying that amount in other areas," added Mayor Small. "The Health Unit benefits not only Gibsons, but the entire Sunshine Coast, and in fact stretches from Powell River to Pemberton." In a quick update on the natural gas negotiations, Small told aldermen that a revised proposed agreement had been received. "I have not had the opportunity to read it yet," he said, "but it has been drawn up with a lot of input from both our lawyers and interested engineers who are representing a whole group of municipalities. A further draft should be coming in the next few days." Small went on to say lhal "I'm feeling much more comfortable that Gibsons is going to get gas, and I think we are going to gel a reasonable agreement." There has been some confusion over funding for the new Gibsons fire truck. "This Council and staff have been under the Please turn to page 11 Up go ferry fares Ferry fares on all of BC Ferries' 25 routes will go up on February 1, 1991. Rita Johnston, Minister of Transportation and Highways and minister responsible for BC Ferries, in announcing the new rates, said that the 1991 fares would help to cover rising operational costs including the recent collective agreement, rising fuel costs, and the costs incurred by the new grants in lieu payments that the corporation will be making to municipalities where there is a BC Ferries presence. At the same time, the minister said that the corpora- lion will be improving services through its vessel construction and acquisition program. "BC Ferries is facing increased costs in 1991 of approximately $15 million. The new tariff will bring in about $11 million. Notwithstanding the increase in fares, the corporation must continue to receive $51 million from general tax revenue," said Johnston. "That means that all provincial taxpayers, regardless of where they live in British Columbia, contribute toward the operation of the ferry system. The increase in ferry fares means that the actual users of the system pay a reasonable portion of the cost of the fleet's operation. Even with the rate increase, it continues to be a bargain to travel by ferry in British Columbia." On major routes, the regular passenger fares will go up 25 cents. Car fares will go up $1.25 and commercial vehicle fares will go up 20 cents a foot. Rates on the Sunshine Coast will also be raised to $24.00 per round trip from the present $22.50. "The new fare for overheight vehicles on the major routes will be $24.50 ��� a $1.50 increase for a one-way trip," said the minister. "For the third year in a row, there will be no increase ��� on the major routes ��� in the regular fare for children, ages five to 11. li will remain at $2.25." The minister said that any elementary or secondary school student, travelling with school authorization on school- sponsored events, will continue to receive a fare reduction. "BC Ferries continues lo offer BC residents over 65 years of age no-cost passenger travel on the Vancouver Island ��� Mainland and Gulf Island routes from Monday to Thursday, except statutory holidays," said Johnston. "And I know that everyone will be pleased to hear that there is no GST on ferry fares." BC Ferries 1991 Fare brochures, listing all ihe fares for iheir 25 routes, will be available al BC Ferries offices, on board vessels, and al major Information Centres. Sechelt super committees out MacLarty modifies structures by Stuart Burnside Sechelt Mayor Nancy MacLarty's long promised intention to phase out the "Super Committee" structure (presently in place in Sechelt to oversee many of the operating functions of the municipality), became a reality at a special council meeting, January 16. The super committee concept was a result of the Cuff Report, commissioned by the previous council, and MacLarty, who campaigned on the idea of reducing government spending on the municipal level, told the Coast News that removing the super committee structure was an important way of ac complishing this goal. "Sechelt is too small for this kind of structure," she said. The super committee idea essentially put the control of various municipal functions under the directorship of a few individuals who���in turn- reported to the town administrator, while the administrator reported to the council members at town council meetings. Alderman Michael Shanks protested the motion to rescind the initial creation of the super committees, saying, "The previous council spent $14,000 of taxpayers' money on the report that recommended the creation of the super commit tees," inferring that the investment shouldn't be written off so readily. Also sparking a reaction from Shanks was a separate motion advanced by MacLarty that would rescind the position of one of the directorships, lhal of the Director of Engineering. The Director of Engineering is Derek Ashford, of Ashford and Associates. Shanks implied that certain members of the pressure group 'Enough is Enough' were somehow involved in an effort to get rid of Ashford as they perceived him to be an obstacle to developers and Ihe subdivision by-law requirements. Shanks stated that he believes there is a direct connection between MacLarty and 'Enough is Enough', "because of the timing involved here." MacLarty said that Ashford, being a private consultant, commanded a $55 an hour fee. She said she thought that was "too much money" and claimed Ashford agreed. She added that she respected Ashford's abilities and that this did not reflect on him as an engineer, implying that his firm would be in a good position to receive future municipal contracts. In the end, both motions carried with the only opposition coming from Shanks, ON THE INSIDE Debating growth Page2 Letters to the Editor Pages 3&23 School Board bears load Page 12 Bypass value questioned Page 13 Saga of Society Red Page 14 Long John Baldty tribute Page 15 Coastuiords Page 17 No hope for homestead Sechelt Council's January 9 decision to look into the feasibility of acquiring the log homestead building off Highway 101 In Wilson Creek has fallen through due to the possibility of the building falling in. According to an examination of the building by the town's building inspector, the building is "beyond hefp...It should be demolished.'' The building, because it Is potentially a heritage building, will be stored by the developers of the Wilson Creek site in Roberts Creek until its ultimate fate can be decided. Serving the Sunshine Coast since 1945 2 Coast News, January 21,1991 comment I I Debating growth During the recent election campaign, candidates running for all manner of offices were largely in agreement when it came to the issue of growth and development along the Sunshine Coast. These thoughtful men and women, many of whom now hold office, made it clear that they were in favour of slow, reasonable, and well-planned growth which, above all, look into account al all stages the fragile nature of our area's socio-environmental lifestyle. Every indication was���and is���thai the vast majority of the Sunshine Coast's 20,000-odd residents see eye to eye with their political representatives and leaders al least on this most pivotal of issues. We were, therefore, surprised and somewhat disappointed when a local publication saw fit lo plump for one lype of Coastal development and growth which runs precisely counter to what a solid consensus appears to favour. In an editorial extolling the virtues and potential bonanza which they see as a direct by-product of the highly- controversial passenger-only ferry service we might be gelling (whether we need or want it), this publication expressed surprise to find out that "...no-one seems to be absolutely in favour of the service and fhat (Liberal leader) Gordon Wilson is dead against it." Yet, despite this late-blooming revelation, the editorial goes on lo wax enthusiastic about how a "...walk-on service to the Sunshine Coast...could spawn a host of money- spinning services to Gibsons and Sechelt." Indeed, but al what cost? Is promoting "package deals" from downtown Vancouver to the Sunshine Coast by hordes of daytripping tourists the kind of responsible approach to the commercial exploitation of our area which most of us say we would support? We doubl whether mosl Coasl business people are lusting after the fast buck either. For, if they were, they'd be conducting business where the pickings were already more plentiful. It is our suspicion lhal business people here are as interested in quality of life as much as (if not more than) mere profit. The editorial in the other paper laments how "...unpopular the drive to Horseshoe Bay is with travellers fighting for space with the every day commuter, on and off Ihe ferry." Good grief! If it's thai much of a tribulation lo reach the Sunshine Coast, why on earth did some 75,000 visitors lo our area last year even bother lo make the effort? A high-speed, passenger-only ferry would make the Coast much more easily accessible, and we believe this is not a good thing for ihe area, for its residents, and, paradoxically enough, not for ihe visitors eilher. When you make il too easy to bring large numbers of people to an area which is vulnerable lo high-density human and vehicular traffic, you run ihe risk of destroying those very aspects and attributes of the area which attracted people to if in the first place. -from our files ��� We Remember When 5 YEARS AGO Chief of the Capilanos, Simon Baker, or Chief Khot-la Cha, which means Chief Kindly Heart, visited the Sechelt Indian Band to celebrate the occasion of his 75th birthday.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES la: 1 Year t��; a Morula utr. Fwajgo 11���, m Flashback at flashpoint I am writing this column at a point in time which is last Friday morning for you. I am writing it without any of my usual enthusiasm, without the sense that I have anything particularly, important to say, because my entire being feels supersaturated with this war which nobody claims to have wanted yet everyone helped bring about. I am overwhelmed with a futility which bears much in common with the concrete boots supplied to endgame victims of certain American criminal elements. No matter what my spirit seeks to do in its woebegone attempts to detach and soar beyond the surreal trip passing for life on this planet at the moment, I am forced to bear witness and participate in my own micro-mini- manner. My futility carries with it a strong nostalgic component. Approaching Gibsons I was suf fused with a flashback to another Canadian winter 32 years ago. There I was along with a small band of compatriots, all of us fledgling members of the equally fledgling Canadian Universities Committee for Nuclear Disarmament (CUCND), hanging off the edge of the sidewalks of beautiful downtown London, Ontario, shivering as much from the anxiety induced by what we were up to as from the bluster and chill of a snowbelt afternoon. We were engaged in an activity designed to wake up the herd and stampede it into giving up its self-imposed ignorance as to the real nature and threat of nuclear energy ��� be it "Atoms For Peace" or atoms for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What a joke! One is and remains a member of a herd almost solely for the false sense of solidarity, security, and commonality of shared illusions any mass of people with a taboo against non-conformity of thought, action, and feeling can bring about through the tyranny of numbers and numbness. I can see myself in my eight- foot scarf, jeans, parka and crewcut, mv picket sign clutched Lancelot-like in my crabbed, quasi-hypothermic hand. Passersby don't call out support and encouragement to us. They spit at us from their own fear- wormed existences, call us "Communists!", and one Western Ontario redneck comes at us with his pickup, a feint which causes us to scatter momentarily. But futility didn't lay a glove on me that day ��� not for a nanosecond. Hell, I was 17. This was my first serious stab at enlightening and changing the world, and I can still feel the adrenaline, the electric sense of higher purpose, the com- araderie that came with the territory of rebellion and dissent we claimed as our own that frosty day in London. And my all-pervasive belief in the efficacy of dissent and protest as the best means for attaining the liberation of conditioned and self-enslaved minds, in the secure knowledge that universal clarity, awareness, right- thinking and right action will certainly follow, still abides within me, still keeps me from throwing in the towel and ... And what? Becoming a card-carrying merr ir of the herd? Good griel! At times it is virtually impossible to simply share the same pasture without wanting to sneak over and lace the waterhole with Anthrax juice. I mean, euthanasia is finally gaining a foothold in the "Okay" column of the mass consciousness, so probably I would get off with a warning. Well, this is one of the voices futility assumes, I suppose ��� that of a kid of 17, feeling powerless and rageful, whistling his way past the graveyard of collective humanity and not being able to shake off the ghosts in pursuit. Making the descent of the slippery slope known as School Road, clutching down to second and wondering in passing whether this morning's the morning I wind up on Keats, I hear the fruity, simpering John Wayne inflections of George Bush: "When this is over," intones the Supreme Commander of the New World Order, "I want us to be the healers." What a perfect obscenity. We had to destroy the planet to save it?

A narrow wind complains all day How some one treated him; Nature, like us. Is sometimes caught Without her diadem. In a nutshell Competitive bird feeding by S. Nutter We were living at one time for a while in a small community on a picturesque river with rapids and slate cliffs about a hundred miles out of Toronto. It was really quite a sweet place, mostly built of weatherbeaten rose-coloured brick, with antique shops and tea rooms and great 'home-cooking' bakeries, and the county's best butcher, and potters' studios, and a cheerful, well-stocked well- attended inn. Well, all in all, you could pretty well say it had the lot. We lived by the river a couple of miles from the town, on one of the slate escarpments, with a deck cantilevered out over the river itself. From a corner of the house I'd stretched a leather thong attached to a Sycamore tree, and from it at just the right place I'd hung an old pewter cake dish with one of those looped handles they had. This was our bird feeder. A simple and not inelegant device perhaps, but it represented victory at the end of a longish and bitterish struggle with the considerable squirrel population. They would still come around, some of them, and perch on the railing and gaze at the dish and whip themselves into a fury of frustration but it was hopeless. The occasional Olympic class nutkin would show up, hunker down wilh total concentration, launch and actually touch the dish but of course it would just swing away. A small war of course, but our victory was complete. Not so with our neighbour, a widow lady who lived alone. Neat and well-ordered, she kept to herself and (maybe after one of our parties) had made it clear that is what she liked. One morning though, when I was up early, there was the sound next door of shots ringing out. I moved along the driveway to where I could see through the hedge. She was out on her lawn in her nightie, long grey hair streaming down, banging away in all directions, but quite expertly, with a .22. I gave a bit of a cough and said "Mrs. Lawson, you are shooting at the squirrels." She turned to me with her teeth clenched. "Goddammit" she said, "they're eating my birdseed." There was, of course, a really lovely lot of birds and much birdsong. We had a pair of herons feed often across from the place. One winter we had a lone goose out on the ice and fed him for a couple of months. And then there was the matter of the cardinals. We had had a couple of cardinals before in Toronto and had kept them around as long as we were there, feeding them on sunflower seeds. For some time in Fergus/Eloi a we saw no cardinals anywhere, then one day a couple turned up. They lit in a tree, eyed our dish, and moved along. We got ourselves some sunflower seeds. Sure enough in a couple of days they were back, and after that they were back every day, and a handsome sight they made swinging away on the old dish just outside the living room window. Friends coming in were sometimes fair entranced. It had not occurred to us of course that these cardinals, while gracing our place, were therefore depriving the environment of their presence somewhere else. But one night at the inn, a large and comely friend called Betty, speaking at the bar, was complaining that 'her' cardinals didn't come around any more. Someone said that we had cardinals at our place, and Betty asked my lady, pointblank, if we were doing anything specially to feed them. I was of course about to say 'sunflower seeds' but my lady shot me a look. "Oh," she said evenly, "nothing really I guess. Sometimes we put out a little popcorn." (We did, but not for the cardinals.) "Popcorn?" said Betty. My lady raised her glass and shot me another laser over the rim. "Buttered, of course," 1 said. I am not a particularly competitive type myself but for some time I had been coming aware that this laid back little town was actually rife with the stuff. We had been to a Sunday morning party which turned out to be a serious omelette-making competition. Competitive bird- feeding though did seem about the end. ' * "��� ���*���'���*r- " " z. T.

If you're one who looks for educational enhancement near to home, there's a variety of classes offered right here in the Creek. Four to nine year olds who desire physical activity in a smooth, coordinated manner may find gymnastics on Tuesday nights in the gym fits the bill. Ms De Los Santos is the excellent instructor. Adults can warm up and get fit by playing a little badminton Monday nights, also in the gym. The participants are all ages and abilities, and drop-ins are encouraged. So, if you enjoy badminton, join the fun. Beekeeping may attract those interested in honey and maintaining nature's pollination troops. The instructor, Kevin McEvoy will lecture Wednesday nights at the school and hold practical work with bees at his own apiary. Environmental concerns and present trends with respect to trees will be the focus of the Tree Preservation class on Wednesday evenings at the school. With slides, Lena Warrington, founder of North Shore Citizens for Trees, will present some environmental problems threatening trees and also some solutions. Bid those dull winter evenings begone by learning beginning bridge from Sandy McBride on Wednesday evenings in the small community use room. A bridge social at the end will complete the enjoyment. Sign language, used world wide, is being offered by Elaine Juhasz on Tuesday nights. Learn to communicate with those whose only language is not English or French but will always be sign language. Roberts Creek is home of the Inner Ear Recording Studio located on Leek Road. This quarter Michael Lacoste and Betty Inksetter of the Inner Ear offer classes using the recording studio. The Closet Musician weekend workshop explores the magic of creating music in a group and uses these creative sounds to make a recording. The Recording Workshop on Wednesday evenings is for those who want to experience hands- on multitrack recording in a professional recording studio. Michael Lacoste is also teaching beginning and intermediate guitar on Tuesday nights. To have such a facility available for education is a rare opportunity in a small community. ABLE is a program that matches adult students who want to improve their basic reading and writing skills with trained tutors. There are no fees and the location and time are chosen by the student. Richard Curil is administrating this program through Continuing Education. To summarize: Monday is badminton; Tuesday is sign language, gymnastics, and guitar; Wednesday is beekeeping, bridge, tree preservation, and recording studio; Saturday and Sunday is Closet Musician; and anytime is the ABLE program.

GOLDEN LIFELINES ���Stuart Burnside photo Cross country ski delights by Joyce Ostry When downhill skiing becomes loo difficult for one reason or another, crosscountry skiing is an ideal opportunity to remain active, experience Ihe beauty of the outdoors and socialize with people who share a common love of nature. It is suggested that lessons are the way to begin. This type of skiing takes no special skills. If you can walk, you can crosscountry ski. Build up your stamina gradually. The only limitation is that should you fall, and you certainly will, you are able to get back up by yourself. Sigge Bjorklund, of Sigge's Sport Villa, advises beginners to lake four to eight hours of lessons. He introduces crosscountry ski techniques to his students on flat terrain until they have perfected the glide which is very similar to skating. The glide is the essence of cross-country skiing and can be easily learned in just a few hours of practice. Best of all, learning lo cross country ski is not expensive. Lessons at Manning Park, for example, average about $50, including transportation (there and back from Vancouver), rental of equipment and trail fees. All a person has to bring is warm clothing and a bag lunch. The advantage to this approach is that beginners don't have to invest a lot in equipment, until they decide whether or not ski touring is for them. But most people do enjoy the experience, going on from lessons and rentals to purchasing their own equipment. Like everything else today, ski touring equipment is not cheap, but it does make sense to buy the best your budget allows. An average beginner's package ranges from about $250 to $325. This includes non-wax skis, bindings, poles and boots. Boots are the most important part of a ski package. They must be snug without cutting off circulation. The clothing must move with you���and more than one layer is preferable. For downhill skiing, I always used two pair of mittens. Always ski with so meone���the buddy system is the safe way.

The shock and horror of the mayhem being inflicted on fellow human beings is beyond comprehension. We feel a churning of the stomach, a nausea which will not go away. No matter which "Side" one is on, it just doesn't seem to be much in the way of heroics for a super power to cut lose horrendous weapons on a small country about the size of Idaho. Those of us who have had the terrible experience of carrying gas masks and running into air raid shelters for protection at the sound of a siren, know exactly what this is like. We also know the terror of bombs exploding around us destroying buildings and killing thousands of people. Therefore, our thoughts are very much with the civilians of all nations who are being forced to deal wilh this horror.

We recently paid a visit to the Post Office at Milore Nursery and were pleased to see the nice new store in operation. It is good for we Halfmoon Bay folk to have a convenience store both in Halfmoon Bay and in Welcome Woods. Wonder what the next addition will be ��� a church or a pub? MF.SSY WHARF: It was brought to our attention by some folk who were having a walk on a sunny Sunday afternoon along the government wharf in Halfmoon Bay. Apparently, the dog mess was quite disgusting. These people counted 16 large dog messes on the wharf. Little kids were running around and getting il all over their shoes and spreading it around. I wonder who would lake their dog there and allow this to happen, or who are the folk who let their dogs run around lose to do it wherever. A nasty business! CHEER UP: To get to a happier note. The notes of the bagpipe to be precise. The little kids of Halfmoon Bay School, whose bus comes to pick them up at 11 am to take them home, got a big surprise and thrill when the bus driver, Gordon Webb, came out of the bus dressed in his full Highland regalia, placed his bagpipes on his shoulder and piped the kids on to the bus. That was something to go home and tell mum about.

How is it that we are able to co-exist here in Egmont, in luxurious peace, while a lot of the rest of the world seems to be plotting its own demise? Naturally, there is the occasional unfortunate incident that we have to stumble over, but in the big picture, our problems are small. We have plenty of fresh air, fresh water, wildlife, and spectacular scenery abounds. The community of Egmont is friendly and helpful above and beyond the call of duty. It is quite a twist of fate that enables us to live in a place where the threat of all-out war is about as far away as it can gel. Not that this conflict doesn't affect us all in some way, but I am very thankful to be able to sleep at night and know that when I wake up, the only thing that will be different is the weather. Speaking of the weather, which I usually do, it looks like my team of weather forecasters were a little off on their predictions and that's just fine wilh me. I don't mind snow and winter conditions for Christmas, but after that I'd like to imagine that spring is on its way. There have been some beautiful sunsets recently. (And probably sunrises too, but we don't gel to enjoy them from our vantage point.) I ran into Vera Grafton who is staying in Sechell for a little while for some visits to St. Mary's Hospital. She's not quite ready to come home yet, but she's doing very well. In the meantime, John Dafoe is filling in for her down at the Government Dock so all is taken care of.

The answer is yes, for two reasons. First, the adjuster for each party serves as an impartial representative in the claims process. And, second, since most claims are totally paid by Autoplan, the adjusters have no reason to favour either side. After considering every element of a case, both adjusters use their experience and expertise to reach an equitable settlement. Anything less would be unfair to the claimant. But to offer more would be equally unfair to some two million other ICBC policyholders whose premiums are affected by rising claims costs. o i 1. R I ( Oil M I, i \ Last year, 81% of the people surveyed who had property damage claims were satisfied with their settlements. 98% of injury claims were settled out of court.

Their night-long vigil did not go unnoticed. RCMP officers brought the students blankets in the dead of night, and gave them quarters for the pay phone "in case there was any trouble," Winne says. "A couple of ladies offered us a dry room to sleep in, a guy bought us breakfast at Truffles, Prontos gave us a couple of large pizzas and a lady brought us doughnuts." Each evening afterwards, students have stood vigil in Pioneer Park, their numbers growing as the tempo of the war they were protesting increased. "I think it's really great," MacKenzie says. "We've gone from four people to 40 in three days. We get a lot of sarcasm and people driving by yelling 'war', though." The mood was more somber at Chatelech Secondary. "The principal didn't like the idea of a walkout," says Student Council President Katherine Denham. Instead, students took part in a province-wide "stand-up" in class at 11 am, Tuesday, and previous to that, they had faxed their peace message to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. "For me, I believe in peace," says Denham. "My parents were hippies. My mother was arrested for protesting. I believe secondary students are more aware and there is a social allowance for them to speak out. "They're learning from their parents that war doesn't resolve anything. If I had wanted to do a walkout, I would have gone ahead and done it. But I don't have to do it as anything other than one person." Co-president Carta Wellings adds to that, saying "Definitely people are allowed to speak out more now than in the sixties. Secondary students are learning more about war and the effects of war. I'm really disappointed our country has become involved in war, taking sides with the United States. I just know from Elphinstone and friends around me that people aren't into war, and think about it a lot." Chatelech Principal Jack Pope asked students to refrain from demonstrating, and they acceded to his wishes. "We At Gibsons Council Continued from page I impression that the money to pay for it was being raised by the Regional District," explained Small. "It now turns out that this is not so." Small went on to say that there were two options, ��� "we can go to referendum,...or, as our auditor suggests, fund it from our accumulated surpluses and recover it from the West Howe Sound Fire Department, which is in turn funded by both the Town and the Regional District. "Needless to say, the supplier is anxious to get his money. I'm the one who has been dragging his feet on signing the cheque until I knew where the money was coming from. My banking background is showing." Council adopted a by-law that would allow it to set meeting dates other than the first and third Tuesdays of the month. Mayor Small explained that this was to avoid previous problems where "action was taken by Council and later challenged in court because it wasn't a properly constituted meeting." The by-law also provides for a question period at the end of meetings. Mayor Small told Aldermen that five groups had submitted proposals to the Ferry Corpor- tion to provide the fast ferry commuter service. "The terms were that the ferry would land at the Seabus Terminal in Vancouver," he said, "and the words were, 'at the other end to land in Gibsons'." "I have confirmed that there have been no discussions or inquiries, either with the Town of Gibsons or with the harbour master by either the ferries, the Department of Highways, nor the people proposing the bids. I have some difficulty knowing how these five people came up with proposals without having at least made some preliminary inquiries as to where they are going to land a commuter ferry on this end. "This Council would probably prefer to see it land at Langdale, at least until there are far better facilities for it to land in Gibsons. We have a great concern about the congestion it would create if it were to land in Gibsons now." FREE SEMINAR!

There is an information gap, especially for younger students. They don't know what is going to happen to them, and there is such a tremendous interest in what is going on," Pope told the Coast News. Staff at Chatelech met Wednesday afternoon to discuss what "approach" to take with regard to their students' need to express themselves on this issue. "We discussed the walkout yesterday and discouraged it because we felt it was unorganized and didn't want the kids to show the wrong side of themselves to the community," Pope said. "What we want to do now is organize a forum, bring in speakers, and talk about how this affects the community." At the Gibsons Legion Hall, eight veterans of World War II shared their feelings and opinions regarding the current conflict. Not one of them had anything negative to say about the American-led invasion of Iraq or of Canada's active role in it. One vet urged that "...they should hit them as hard as they can! Canada should be more involved." An earnest young protester expresses her concern over events in the Gulf during a demonstration at Pioneer Park. ���Jan Michael Sherman photo SPORTS COATS & y ARROW DRESS SHIRTS * SHOPPING uxenmar \Dr lenmar JUrapertes S, NtllUK RAM SUPPLIES 881-2274 883-9551 Building Supplies HOME/.1LL BUILDING CENTRE JkS MARINA PHARMACY CONTRACTORS MOBILE HOMES N��* and Used ��� Initint Hauling 883-9338 or 580-4321 (call collect) SERVICES Roofing 883-9303 To' ��� C.#����l, Ihahii, Shinjlti, fTUial Rood, forth On.

Coast News, January 21,1991 Message in a bottle by Rose Nicholson The flotsam and jetsam washed up by the tides has always held a fascination for those of us who love to walk the beaches. We come home with pockets laden with curiously shaped bits of stone or driftwood and reluctantly pass up the larger chunks that look as if they have come from some boat thai may have broken up in a winter storm. The more imaginative ones dream of finding a bottle with a real message in it, thrown into the ocean by a castaway on some far distant Robinson Crusoe island. This dream came true last week for two Wilson Creek residents. Linda and Nels Lind- strom found a real bottle, with a real message in it, while they were walking the beach at Davis Bay. "We were so excited," said Linda. "We've never found anything like this before." The message was from an unnamed Grade 5 student in Raymond, Washington, who explained that their whole class would launch SO bottles on September 14, 1987, from a Most of us only dream of finding a bottle on the beach wilh a real message In It���but for Linda and Neb l.lndstrom this dream actually came true on one of their walks along the beach at Davis Bay. ���Rom NMotaoa photo fishboal just offshore from the town. She (or he) described the town, and it sounded much like either Gibsons or Sechelt. The climate is mild and rainy, and logging and fishing are the main occupations. Going on to tell us something about herself (or himself), she/he said, "I bother my Mom so I can get my homework done so I can go outside." Linda phoned the school in Raymond to tell them of the find and was told that this bottle was the one that had traveled the farthest and the longest. Robinson Crusoe may have been a figment of Daniel Da foe's imagination, but a real bottle, from a real youngster, in a real town, found on the real beach at Davis Bay, ��� that's exciting! School Board News No help locally for legal costs Incurred by Joel Johnstone The Ministry of Education has refused to aid School District 46 with the legal costs of the court case brought by Parents for French against the District. Minister Anthony Brummet informed the Board that "it is a School District's responsibility to provide for any legal costs within the block of funding available. The Ministry will not provide additional financial support for these costs." Secretary Treasurer Tim Anderson told Trustees that recent negotiations with the lawyers had reduced the original Tee of $68,457. lo $50,000. He said that although the District does budget for legal fees, they had not anticipated such a large amount. He went on to say that it will be a month or more before it is known what effect the legal bill will have on this year's budget. District enrollment, which af fects provincial grants to the District, is under review, and Ministry expenditures are not expected until May. To compound the financial problems, Anderson told the Board that the province's Provisional Capital Plan Priorities are being reviewed. The Madeira Park Elementary School has received a 'low' rating on the planned $1.3 million expansion. "We find fault with this ranking," said Anderson. "It should go from 'low' to 'high'." But on a more optimistic note, Davis Bay Elementary and Cedar Grove Elementary schools received 'high' ratings for their respective $1.4 million- plus upgrades. Site development funding to rebuild unsafe playing fields at various schools also received a 'high' rating. Anderson said that the province's provisional budget is not yet final. "It is hoped that all 'high' ratings will be funded. although provincially these amount to $685 million...I believe that spending for the previous year only amounted to $125 million." On a more positive note, Anderson told Trustees that "we've paid off one of our bank loans, which is marvelous." He said that the 20 year debenture had been paid off in 16 years. i The Sunshine Mi f IIWI Is a member of the Canadian Community Newspapers Association dedicated to presenting the news of this community to Its readers. SCRD schedules ferry forum Responding to the concerns, confusion, and controversy swirling around ihe possible introduction of a high-speed, passenger-only ferry to the Sunshine Coast, SCRD Director and Planning Committee Chairman Brett McGillivray has called lor a 20/20 forum on the entire ferry issue. "We should invite people such as Harold Long, Rita Johnston, and Rod Morrison (BC Ferries' General Manager) ���among others," McGillivray suggested at last Thursday's meeting of ihe Planning Committee. "I am suggesting this in reaction to (recent) political statements and events unfolding." Before agreeing to the proposal and deciding that il should be held on Saturday, February 23, the idea was briefly discussed and commented on by members. "I'm burned up about the whole thing," said John McNevin of Gibsons. "Nobody's consulting with anybody," he added, in reference to the fact that decisions about the proposed passenger-only ferry have apparently been made unilaterally by persons removed from the Sunshine Coasl. "Bids have been asked (and received)," remarked McNevin, yQ You will receive a very special ^Saf gift when you make your move ALLIED with Allied... and it's FREE!

Product Safety inspectors discovered the potential hazard, mainly with four-litre containers, during inspections across Canada. Problems to date have been found mainly with containers that hare a tab on the cap and a safety stop projecting from the container. Other types of child-resistant container systems are also being Investigated. by Rose Nicholson The much touted Gibsons bypass could turn out to be a mixed blessing, ��� with the Town of Gibsons ending up with the short end of the stick. Fred Jaremchuk, representing Northwest Life, owners of Cedars Inn, warned Gibsons Council that the bypass could have serious financial repercussions for the town. "Our concern is that the bypass is going to do a little more than bypass a troublesome hill," he said at the January IS Council meeting. "It will bypass what we call 'motel and restaurant row' in Gibsons." Jaremchuk noted that he had first expressed his concerns to the previous Council in an August 20, 1990 letter. Listing the six motels and/or motor inns, five restaurants and one pub/restaurant, three service stations, shopping centres and assorted businesses in the strip from North Road and along Highway 101 to Pratt Road, he said that the loss of tourist traffic could have a drastic effect on all the businesses, and would ultimately reduce the town's taxation revenue. "They (the businesses) get as much as 25 to 30 per cent of their annual business as a result of traffic that is generated by this highway," he said. "Tourists do not go backward, they usually go to the nearest point ahead of them. Sechelt is the next point ahead. They will be the winner, and Gibsons will be the loser." Using what he admitted were 'ball park figures', Jaremchuk estimated that current assessed property values in the area amounted to somewhere between SIS million to $20 million which brings in about $500,000 to $600,000 a year in taxes. "If we lose 25 to 30 per cent of our business as a result of this bypass," he said, "what you're going to find is a reduction of property assessments, because we, and everybody else, are going to apply for relief from taxes, ��� and we'll get it, by virtue of the provincial assessment authority. "That could cost the town $150,000 to $200,000 annually in taxes, which would have to be borne by the taxpayers of Gibsons. You'd have to tack it on to their bill. "There would also be reduced employment from loss of business. Currently 150 to 200 people are employed in that area. A 25 to 30 per cent loss of jobs represents an annual payroll of $500,000 to $1 million a year." As an example of what could happen here, Jaremchuk mentioned the "business failures, reduced assessments and massive layoffs" that occurred when Fraser Canyon communities were bypassed by the Coquihalla Highway. "Since Expo 86, tourism in Gibsons has been increasing eight to 10 per cent a year. If you bypass the tourist traffic, the earnings of the town will drop, and so will business earnings." "We, and others along the highway, derive as much as 50 per cent of our business from tourists. With the bypass completely passing this area, we see nothing but financial hardship. A complete bypass of the town is not a benefit to the businesses that are in Gibsons, and certainly not to the town. Highways would like to bypass every community in the world, and they try to do it. The town of Gibsons has a responsibility to take a very hard look at this. "We put a lot of money into the town of Gibsons at a time when no one else would," he added. "We transformed a bankrupt situation into a good motor inn. "We're very concerned. We have a lot of money invested in the town. At the moment, we see this as a major problem. Mayor Eric Small told Jaremchuk that although "it was not policy to respond to a delegation on the night of presentation," he could be assured that the matter would be discussed at the next council meeting. In a conversation with the Coast News, a member of the Gibsons Chamber of Commerce said that so far, the question of the bypass had not been discussed by the Chamber, but would probably be brought up at the next meeting. Peace Vigil The Sunshine Coast Peace Committee b organizing a Speakers' Forum and Candlelight Vigil to promote peace in the Persian Gulf. The event will take place at Sechelt Elementary on Tuesday, January 22 at 7:30 pm. The Peace Committee is inviting local churches, students and environmental groups to provide speakers for the forum. "Not surprisingly, people In the Sunshine Coast community are very worried about the war," observed Denise Lagasse, a local peace activist. "We hope that this gel-together will provide us all with new ideas and some words of inspiration to continue our work for peace."

GLASSFORD PRESS DBCNSrUDOS 1tglmmmmmiM klah 14. Coast News, January 21,1991 I ��� EJ6LRE. Saga of Society Red by Peter Trower You dream of logging long after you've left the woods. Successful executives dream of it and so do winos, clutching their last bottles. It wasn't the greatest trade on earth but, rain, danger and all, it was what you did. Mostly you stumbled into it���few men went logging by choice. Sometimes you stumbled away again, demeaned by the insults of irascible hooktenders and a way of life that seemed to give no quarter. But if you stayed, you became part of a brotherhood. Although he left the woods in the sixties, Society Red McDer- mott remains a member in good standing of this hardy group. On a recent visit to Vancouver, he reminisced about a career that took him all over the West Coast and saw him rise from a lowly chokerman to a top-notch high-rigger. Society Red was born in Edmonton but ran away from home when he was IS. He and a friend jumped a freight train and rode the rods out to the Coast. "I hit Vancouver with two dollars in my pocket. This was in the fall of 1941. My friend got a job at the North Vancouver Shipyards, but they wouldn't take me for some reason. The employment agent said I'd have to go out to a logging camp. I wasn't keen on leav ing Vancouver���I'd always been a city boy���but they didn't give me much choice. I was literally pushed into the woods. "So I went down to Murphy's Agency on Cordova Street, just off Carrali. It was in the back of a pool hall. I didn't know the first thing about the woods. Old Murphy hired me as a chokerman for Cowichan Lake. I had no idea what the job was. I made the mistake of asking a foolish question. I'd always been interested in sports and I wondered if we'd be anywhere near a town where I could get involved in athletics. Murphy looked surprised but he was a kindly man. 'Listen, kid!' he said, 'this is the woods you're going to���not a summer camp. Do you think those trees grow out of the goddamn pavement?' " Red headed for Lake Cowichan without the vaguest idea of what he was getting in to. "Of course the first thing that grabbed you about logging camps as a kid was the enormous quantity of the food- bearing in mind that this was war-time. There was steak on the table for breakfast, along with eggs, bacon, sausages, flapjacks and just about everything else you could imagine. Kids have pretty good appetites and most of us would overeat and get sick. "Anyway I got my gear and Benefit fund screens petitioners Approximately 40 applications for a share of the $20,000 "Community Benefits Fund", established in October of 1990, by Coast Cable Vision Limited, have been received by the Company. "The Fund was created to celebrate the completion of 20 years of service by Coast Cable Vision to residents of the Sunshine Coast and to reinvest in a community that has solidly supported our operations over the past two decades," said John Thomas, President and General Manager. Applications for funding range from a low of about $300 to the maximum amount available and deal with a myriad of concerns and agencies on the Sunshine Coast. In total, the applications for funding exceed $200,000 of expressed community needs and represent a wealth of opportunity for area residents and volunteer involvement. "Obviously it will not be possible to please all groups that have applied for financial assistance but through our community programming facilities, it may be possible to assist in a direct, albeit nonmonetary way," stated Thomas. The decisions required to make the awards will be made during this month and made public at a yet undisclosed date in February 1991.

They used two sets of chokers so you never got a break between turns. I had trouble getting oriented at first. I'd been brought up on the prairies and I wasn't used to all those trees and sidehills. "One day they sent me down with the lunchbuckets. I got lost and broke one of the thermoses. The hooktender was Slim Walmsley, also known as the 'Mayor of the Skidroad'. He and the other key men were all hardboiled oldtimers. We young guys were always getting chewed out about being inferior to the pre-war loggers. The talk was all about The Big Canadian, Papersack Bronson, Step- an-a-Half Phelps and other famous characters. "I never smoked or drank much but 1 must be one of the oldest snoose addicts in the world. That's one habit I did pick up in the woods. When I went out on that skidder, the old boys did the usual thing��� they offered me a chew of snuff. It didn't make me sick like it does a lot of guys. 'C'mon and take a decent chew,' they said so 1 took two or three more and still felt all right. It was a game���a sort of macho test. I didn't really like the stuff but I figured it was part of being a logger. So I started asking for the odd chew. After a couple of days, the joke wore off. 'Look, kid', one crusty old logger told me finally, 'they got plenty of that stuff in the goddamn commissary!' I was humiliated. That night, I bought a couple of boxes and the next day, I offered snuff to anyone who wanted it. That was the beginning of my lifelong snoose habit. It only used to cost a dime a box back then. Now it's up to something like $5.50." To be continued,..

'I'. Tribute to a musical legend Staying up late with Long John Coast News, January 21,1991 15. by John i �� Alright folks, I'U admit it. It was a long show that ended late followed by a first ferry back from Vancouver and then the unforgiving, non-negotiable insistences of production day at the Coast's first and finest community newspaper. These circumstances are not new to this former editor-cum delivery man-cum paste-up man turned publisher and still, sometimes yet, all of the above. But it's been some years since I faced production day having been up virtually all night and with a review to write to justify this free-fall and no longer characteristic behaviour in a middle-aged man who is some years a grandfather. It had to be a special occasion and, folks, I'm here to tell you that it was. Long John Baldry turned 50 recently and friends and fans of the legendary blues entertainer celebrated the occasion last Friday night at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver and this scattered scribe of the morning after was on that occasion gloriously impervious to age and responsibility and whistled and roared and clapped his unadulterated enthusiasm virtually throughout an almost three-hour set with the long man framed and supported, as usual, by some of the finest musicians within plane distance of his Vancouver home. Legendary musical figures operate in a world impervious to such mundane things as daytime responsibilities and deadlines of any kind. So it was that the Baldry performance was said to be supposed to begin at 10 o'clock or half past. But in fact the tall man didn't wander onstage until almost midnight. In the meantime, there was dancing music and the superb floor of the Commodore and I was wearing my dancing shoes. 8: Before the Baldry show started I was spraying perspiration from forehead to glasses and feeling nostalgic for the wooden floor of the Roberts Creek Hall and the nights we kicked off our gumboots and took on the splinters in a fine and vanished frenzy. There ain't nothin' like a wooden dance floor. Once on stage, Baldry was at his finest obviously buoyed by the occasion and the outpourings of affection and respect from musicians and fans alike. Six foot seven inches tall���they don't call him Long John for nothing���in a top hat and what seemed satin or silk he prowled the stage like an elegant and graceful scarecrow. The musicians were tight and soaring, three dynamic female vocalists led by the incomparable Kathi Macdonald��� who has appeared at Elphie's Cabaret with Long John���shared the spotlight with the tall man. It was that most wonderful of coincidences, an old pro at absolutely the peak of his powers and the songs came powerful and moving, driving and dynamic. Very few were dancing on the Commodore floor during the Baldry set. Oh, the floor was crowded alright, but with people standing transfixed and delighted as Baldry and his top- class band delivered a magic, compelling and heartwarming evening. "Don't Lay No Boogie- Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll", with its long and comic introduction in classic Baldry manner, followed by the intensely moving and beautiful "That Loving Feeling" sung sublimely by Baldry and Kathi Macdonald were the back to back climax of the show, the high points, perhaps, but honestly there were no low point on this night. Baldry gave us the old T-Bone Walker classic Stormy Monday, explaining that the first time he sang it he was called up on stage to do so because the blues legend was too drunk to sing it on that occasion. He left us finally, at three o'clock in the morning with a powerful and haunting rendition of "It Ain't Nobody's Business What I Do." Interjecting just before the last refrain, "Boy, have I had fun tonight," Long John brought the house down again with the refrain and turned and stalked off the stage and the three-hour marathon of magic and music was over. We Poets invited Calling all amateur potts! A Mr. Arthur Levidn, of Ottawa, Is starting up a monthly magazine devoted to the promotion of the creative work of Canadian amateur poets.

(And please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.) were left to try to collect ourselves and get back to our mundane lives. Oh there's so much more a well-rested reviewer with more time could touch on: the dynamic blonde lady saxophonist; the keyboard player; the guitarists; the blues harmonica; even occasionally a soaring trumpeter. And always Baldry nodding and listening appreciatively to everyone's solos and undulating back to grab the microphone at the last possible second and turn loose that remarkable voice. What a performance. This was a birthday party that made everyone happy. Mambara and bona lid* Af��a �� guttit welcome 0/}/^; Grilled New York Steak Sal Night Dinners BINQO - TUES.

Coast News, January 21,1991 by Jan Michael Sherman If God intended Canadians to play underwater hockey, Foster Hewitt would be alive and sporting gills! This proposition is quite obviously as false as it is true that underwater hockey is probably here to stay. This relatively off-beat sport's latest local manifestation takes the form of a tournament to be held on January 26, from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm, at the Gibsons Pool. The general public is invited to fall by and catch some of the action. The Suncoast Aquahawks will be hosting the potluck affair, and the organization is expecting players from the Vancouver area, from Simon Fraser University, and Victoria. A "potluck" tourney is one in which competing teams will be organized at the pool after all players are registered. Registration will begin at 10 am, with play slated a half hour later. En- NEW?

The request to have the deadline extended came at the special council meeting held Wednesday, January 16, when Russ Olson, president of the company developing the course, assured council that despite the fact that the terms of the original agreement with council had yet to be fulfilled, an extension of five months would see the necessary funding achieved. Under the original agreement, dated November 21, 1990, Sechelt Golf Management was to have half of the estimated necessary capital ($2.65 million) in hand by January 31, and was to have completed a survey of the proposed course by an independent firm to ascertain the accuracy of the $2.65 million estimate. The desired half of the capital Funding pursued Extension granted Sechelt Golf Club Coast News, January 21,1991 19. was to have come from the sale of 50 charter memberships in the course (limited partnerships), but only eight have been sold to date. Olson pointed out, however, that three of those eight had been sold in the last week and said that things would pick up now that the weather was becoming more conducive to golf. Olson said his firm was now in the process of canvassing North and West Vancouver and would be using the services of a sales agent, something it hadn't done before. "We don't have an extensive track record (in golf courses), but we've put together the right people," said Olson, adding that response to the idea has been "exceptional", but that people are reluctant to actually sign a cheque when the current deadline was January 31. Council, legally unable to give Olson's request a response for a 24 hour period, scheduled a special meeting for Friday, January 18, where it was thought by Olson that the requested time extension would be granted. At the January 18 meeting, however, council unexpectedly went in-camera for over an hour, leaving Olson to contemplate his possible fate in the hallway. In the end, council granted the extension, but on the condition that 100 per cent of the funding be assured at the end of June. If it was not, the agreement would be null and void. The council was adamant that this would be the one and only extension provided to Sechelt Golf Management. Alderman Doug Reid noted "rather than seeking more con cessions from council, you should get on with business." In addition to requiring 100 per cent of the financing to be done by June 30, council required Olson to have an independent surveyor complete a survey by February 28, an accomplishment Olson grudgingly admitted was possible. The independent survey is a last "out" for both the developers and the council. At present, the $2.65 million is an estimate based on past experiences, not on an actual survey of the land. If the independent survey comes in with a cost that is much higher than that, due to unexpected circumstances, both parties are free to step out of the deal. The Municipality of Sechelt has already made a profit from the proposed course; according to Town Administrator Malcolm Shanks, it was paid approximately $810,000 for the trees logged off the property and, after the expenses of clearing the land etc., has realized a gain of somewhere around $400,000. Arts Centre 1991 Season begins The Arts Centre begins the 1991 exhibition season with "Friends of the Gallery", January 23 to February 10. The works you will see in this show are the personal choices of artists on the Sunshine Coast, with the selection relatively un- skewed by curatorial prejudice. The only limitation exercised was imposed by available space...subject to that consideration and with the guarantee that at least one of everybody's submissions would be displayed, the exhibition represents the sum of what our varied visual arts community wants to show. This unjuried format provides an opportunity for artists, who have never shown before, to see their work in company with a whole spectrum of assorted media and at varying levels of accomplishment. Seasoned artists have also submitted their work as a gesture of support for the Arts Centre. The reception on Saturday, January 26,2 pm, will bring exhibitors and viewers together for relaxed and informal discussion of the work on display, upcoming exhibitions, work in progress, and other topics of in terest. Get the Arts Centre off to a pleasant start and visit with friends. Refreshments will be served. Regular Arts Centre hours beginning January 23 are Wednesday to Saturday, 11 am to 4 pm, and Sunday, 1 to 4 pm. The gallery is located at Trail and Medusa in Sechelt. Call 885-5412 for more information.

On Sunday afternoon, February 3, there will be a very special treat at the Arts Centre. A romantic concert of Love Songs with soprano Helene McDonald, bass-baritone William Kelly, and pianist Ailsa Zaenker that will be coupled with an elegant afternoon tea. The program includes favourite solos and duets from opera and musical theatre, some serious, some whimsical, on that timeless topic ��� Love. Helene McDonald has performed many roles with the Vancouver Opera and Northwest Opera and has toured extensively with the highly successful Vancouver Opera Touring Ensemble. Her busy schedule also includes performances in oratorio, sacred and gospel music, musical theatre and popular music. Many of us will remember William Kelly's splendid performance with the Sunshine Coast Music Society's 1989 Christmas Concert. He is in much demand as a soloist and has appeared with the Victoria Symphony, the Bach Choir, the Handel Society and many other BC musical organizations. Ailsa Zaenker, pianist cum 'pit orchestra' for this concert has distinguished herself in the musical life of the West Coast as a soloist, chamber musician, teacher and lecturer and is in constant demand as an accompanist. She has performed in numerous concerts and CBC broadcasts and has been pianist with the Vancouver Opera Touring Ensemble for several seasons. Ailsa recently performed Ravel's Piano Concerto in 'G' with the Vancouver Chamber Players. Tickets for this very special event are $10 and are available at Talewind Books and the Arts Centre in Sechelt, Seaview Market in Roberts Creek, and Coast Bookstore in Gibsons. Don't miss this elegant celebration of the month of love! Images and Objects Every year the Assembly of BC Arts Councils coordinates a Provincial exhibition as part of the BC Festival of the Arts. The works are selected through, qualifying regional shows which are juried throughout the province. The 9th Images and Objects Exhibition will be juried at the Arts Centre in Sechelt, March 10. Any artist or artisan resident on the Sunshine Coast may enter this all media regional show. If selected, the work then goes on to be part of the Provincial exhibition. Entry forms with all information are now available at the Arts Centre and the Hunter Gallery (Lower Gibsons). Jurors this year will be Keith Wallace, free lance curator and writer, and Lynda Gammon, of Victoria. Deadline for entry forms and works is Saturday, March 9, at the Arts Centre. For further information call Belinda MacLeod at 886-7592. Another conflict War Report by R.P. Handling Huge casualties were inflicted by Blofeld-MacDonald mountain troops on giant Sitka spruce and Douglas firs today during the continuing offensive on the Western Vancouver Island front. Using newly developed International Harvester Hydraulic Tree Croppers, the spruce and firs fell in record time putting up insignificant resistance to the troops' latest technology. This particular unit of spruce and fir was ferreted out by Ministry of Forestry Intelligence Service using the NAVCOM III satellite launched last March for just such surveillance purposes. No BloMac casualties were reported, however the troops' lines of communication were temporarily interrupted by an enemy dense ground fog which emerged shortly after the men were landed from Huey Kiowa helicopters. The fog incursion was quickly dispursed by Hellfire 500 mT smudge pots scattered around the secure landing area. Mort Chemical shock troops are massing in the Tofino area in preparation for Bush Suppression chemical raids on the newly liberated clearcut areas. This operation is expected to be launched within the next 18 hours. The area will be softened up before hand by MOF low level Flameout air operations to eliminate any remnant slash left behind from the spruce and fir units. Apart from the giant trees, the forces of Nature were hit hard by the dawn operation. Initial reports from the BloMac Intelligence Officer at Tofino indicate that 17 Douglas squirrels, 43 red-backed voles, eight pileated woodpeckers, two marbled murrelets, one doe, three fawns, a black bear cub, 125 wrentits and numerous other unspecified organisms were eliminated. The BloMac 10 summed up the operations by stating, "We hit them hard with our initial assault and our follow-up will give the enemy no respite until its forces are driven out of the area." News of the successful mission was greeted on the Vancouver Stock Exchange with a flurry of trading which culminated in a sizeable increase in the value of Blofeld- MacDonald shares. However, this development was balanced by sleep reductions in commodity prices for Sitka spruce and Douglas fir raw logs and milled lumber. Classical guitar The Pender Harbour School of Musk will be presenting Clarke Steabner in an evening of Spanish classical guitar music on Friday, January 25 at 7:30 pm at 'Rosie's Canteens' in the musk school.

PfOWnce ol aSfNn Brttleh Columbia ^^KLdjsW Mlnlitry ol Tfiniportellon P^^K\y^SW and Hlghwayi A worthwhile service British Columbians lose their keys at Waikiki, in Zurich, Dallas, Williams Lake, Melbourne and Port Co- quitlam. For some puzzling reason, 30 BC travellers lost keys this year in Scarborough, Ontario. All come back through Canada Post if key-chains cany the secret-number mini-tags of the Tuberculous and Chest Disabled Veterans Association. The secret number, known only to the individual and the TB Vets, enable the latter (comprised of 25 disabled workers at headquarters in Vancouver) to trace the owners. Located was the New Westminster longshoreman who dropped his keys onto a conveyor belt and accidently sent ihem by ship to Copenhagen. Identified for Penticton RCMP was the body found in Lake Okanagan (after 18 months, the TB Vet tag was still legible.) Nabbed by Vancouver police was a clumsy car-thief who had dropped his own set of keys in a stolen vehicle. The TB Vets have traced owners of 129,458 sets of keys since the system was started by disabled servicemen following World War II. Though the service is free, TB Vets rely on donations from British Columbians such as the boater whose keys were found by a scuba diver in English Bay, the climber whose keys were found in melting snow on Mt. Robson, and the factory-owner whose lost keys wound up in the Azores (the sailor who found them waited for the first available mailbox.) Total of 999,751 secret- number tags are being mailed now to residents throughout the province. Proceeds of the 46th annual campaign are used to keep those 25 disabled persons employed year-round and for grants to BC hospitals for diagnostic equipment and research into respiratory diseases. In the past decade, more than $2.5 million has gone to 50 BC hospitals. Those not receiving tags in the mail by mid-January may obtain them by calling 1-800-665-7796 toll free. (From the Azores, check with the operator.) Anew spirit of giving MP Ray Skelly will be speaking on "The Crisis In the Persian Gulf" on Tuesday, January 22, 7 pm, at the Hphinslone lunch room. The meeting is sponsored by the Sunshine Coast NDP club, and everyone is welcome. ��2*�� Tl G.S.T. FREE A BAG DAY TUES. 22ND G.S.T.
