At present, both speech  pathology and audiology services are located outside the unit  centre, located in the Iowa half  of the school district building  next to Gibsons Town Hall.  Mental Health Services (located  in Sechelt) are squeezed in  where possible and when required on a visitation basis only.  \"This is not very conducive  to people suffering the stresses  and strains of life,\" says Marie  Belle Bulmer, Director of  Sechelt Mental Health Centre.  \"The Garibaldi Health Unit  in Gibsons has been very good  at offering space to work, but  it's just not good enough. We  really do need to have a space in  Gibsons.\"  Medical Health Officer and  Preventative Set-view Director  Dr. Ray Marsh took the Coast  News on a tour of their current  facility, all the while stressing  \"We have not invited this interview. We are simply and quietly  making a request for better accommodation. The facility is  cramped and has outgrown its  allotted space.\"  Though the general meeting  room is satisfactory, Marsh  would like to see better lighting  and a secure electrical panelling  room established away from the  area where children might have  access.  The medical examining  room, Ave by 11 feet, is too  small for the amount of people  requiring use and is used for  storage. As well, other rooms  down the same hall intended for  family and mental health consultation are similarly sized.  \"Consultants have come in  here and said 'Don't put me in a  cupboard!', so we don't have  consulting here,\" Marsh said,  pointing out that when  nrcessary he offers up his own  office to meet the needs of people requiring privftcy. \"If we  have people here, I'll vacate it  and let them use my office.\"  The physiotherapist's office,  is a desk pushed up against a  doorway and has little more  than a four by four foot walking space within it. Stored  materials for the Continuing  Care Nursing .Services have to  be dolleyed in down a narrow  hallway past four nursing desks  marginally partitioned off from  the general administration .area.  Marsh notes that many matters which the nurses are required to report and discuss are  confidential and not meant to  be heard in the open area.  \"People who are working  within these areas who have to  discuss sensitive matters need an  area to discuss these matters  privately...\"  In the administrative area  next to the nursing stations, the  standing joke is laid at the feet  of Administrator Maureen  Wiekenkamp, who once had  tape on the carpet outlining her  office in the manner of Les  Nesmann, (of the television  show WKRP in Cincinnati).  Coast Garibaldi services the  health and administrative needs  of health services from Pemberton to Toba Inlet.  In Gibsons, Wiekenkamp  says \".Speech pathology is a little place up by the school (Gibsons Elementary) owned by the  school. There's no space here  for them.\"  Marsh points out that  audiology services and equipment currently operate out of a  home, and that visiting  audiologists usually bring their  own equipment.  Though Gibsons is getting  by, Bulmer, in Sechdt, sees  benefits in centrally locating all  services in one building.  \"Bringing together services is  a good idea,\" she says. \"The  problems of having many administrations in one office is far  outweighed by the advantages.\"  The grouping of Mental Health  with Continuing Care and  Community and Family Seer-  vices is rewarded by an increased communication between  divisions and builds a spirit of  co-operation.  \"When there is a new building built in Gibsons there will be  space we requested provided,\"  she says of the current 20  kilometre gap in mental health  services between Sechelt and  Gibsons.  Marsh says he is not particular whether more space is  achieved through renovation or  a new building, the decision of.  how and when Un with the provincial government's Space  Planning and Provincial Health  Departments.  Mass slaughter remembered  Violence against women  by Jan Michael Sherman  This Thursday, women all  over Canada will participate in  various ceremonies and memorials to the memory of the 14  female engineering students  gunned down on Da-ember 6,  1989 in Montreal.  The assassin was a self-styled  misogynist and anti-feminist  named Marc Lepine who took  his own life, leaving many questions unanswered about his  gruesome action and what led  up to it.  One undeniable fact stemming from this country's worst  mass murder is that the issue of  violence against women has  been removed from the back'  burner of the public's consciousness with a vengeance and  thrust into the spotlight of  media attention.  The enduring irony is that 14  women needed to die in order to  bring to the fore a social issue  which  had  been  demanding  close attention for longer than  many.acquainted with its grim  proportions and social implications care to dwell upon.  Violence against women has,  by any measure, reached  epidemic proportions in  Canada, and women in general  are afraid. Afraid of their environments, and afraid of  what\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand who\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd they might  encounter in them.  But most of this fear centres  on the family unit, an entity  hitherto perceived through rose-  coloured cultural glasses to be a  haven of safety, love, harmony  and domestic tranquillity. But  of the 167 \"immediate-family\"  murders committed in Canada  last year, 76 were of women killed by their spouses. In the same  year 22 women were convicted  of murdering their husbands.

At the November 27 School  Board Meeting, Jeffrey Smith,  co-ordinator of the project,  brought trustees up to dale on  recent developments in the three  year program.  Smith said that the Sechell  Native Immersion Language  Program is modelled after a  Maori Language Program in  New Zealand which is consider^ to be the most successful  model in the world for language  development for indigenous  languages.  \"The first two of nine proposed phases are already in  operation,\" said Smith. \"One is  at Mom-Ay-Mon Nursery  School and another is a drop-in  program that runs for all  Sechelt band members on Sundays.  \"These are beginning points  for the new program. What we  will be seeing is both teacher  training and the development of  new language material.  \"The modification of existing  materials is going on at the  nursery school, so they will be  the first recipients of the new  material and they will begin  piloting the material in January.  \"We are all happy that we  have decided on a model, and  the people now understand ihe  need for immersion, that immersion can't operate simply  from a series of vocabulary lists.  People have to actually begin to  speak conversationally in  Sechelt.  \"Because of the experience of  ihe past 15 years of language  programs, we do have students  thai can count from one to 1000  in ihe Sechelt language, and  name every planl and animal on  the Sunshine Coasl, bul can't  carry on a conversation.  \"We have a host of other ex-  ciling proposals for the develop-  menl of Ihe program, including  a HyperCard computer application, and we're also involved  wilh a primary and intermediate  program in the school district.  At present Ihe program is  operating in a variety of places,  but it is hoped when the new  buildings are finished on the  Band lands to consolidate the  whole program there.  \"Part of the problem in the  existing program is that all  students have to use the same  materials, regardless of their  age. Obviously we lend lo lose a  lol of the teenagers because of  this. We want lo develop  materials more suited to adults.  \"With the young people, we  are working to develop a video  class. One of the things we hope  lo do is get the teenagers to help  develop a program for the  younger children using legends  and so on. We already have a  young man who is very interested in doing this.  \"It's basically a family effort  thai requires that parents actually practice the language,  rather than expecting the  children to learn something at  school and then not be able lo  practice il at home. There's a  greal deal of community involvement.  \"Right now we are mainly  developing material, and that  will be an on-going process  throughout the three year program. Later we will be bringing  in some specialized instructors  as well as having field trips to  experience language under different conditions.\"  Asked if Ihe program will use  traditional singing and dancing.  Smith replied, \"It might. We  are defining the goals from the  perspective of the Sechelt Band  members, whatever they feel is  important. One idea already is  to video tape a salmon run, with  an elder who would go with the  students from Sechelt Elementary.  \"One of the problems in the  past has been communication,  and we're working hard to  change that.\"  Serving the Sunshine Coast since 1945 Coast News, Decembers. 1990  comment:.  \ufffd\ufffd:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Bearing witness  Thursday, marks the passage of a year since the  slaughter of 14 young women at the University of Montreal by anti-feminist Marc Lepine.  It would be heartening to report that, partially in tribute  to the victims. Parliament received and quickly passed the  new gun-control law which was itself a by-product of the  tragedy, in time to mark this gruesome anniversary.  Such is not the case. Although the Liberals and NDP  were eager to approve it, the gun-control law was shot  down by the Tories, whose law it was in the first place.  Justice Minister Kim Campbell sought delay of the bill  which would have (among other things) banned the  monster cartridge clips which made it possible for Lepine  to butcher so many, so quickly.  As one might expect, it was the gun lobby which,  representing a (relative) handful of Canadians, deserves  credit for side-tracking this latest effort to keep Canada  from sliding any further down the slippery slope of the six-  gun mentality which has resulted in such carnage and terror south of the border.  Changing horses  From time to timet\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand lately more often\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwe have  heard grumblings about the clumsiness and downright in-  appropriateness of the term \"alderman\" when it is applied  to a female elected official.  We wholeheartedly agree that the time has come for a  change. And it is our belief that the gender neutral term  \"councillor\" is just the one to be adopted in place of the  archaic, Germanic \"alderman.\" Although a couple of BC  municipalities have been using the terms \"alderman\" and  \"alderwoman\" for some time now, we fed these well-  intentioned appellations are only slightly more appealing  than \"aldermama\" and \"alderpapa.\"  We hereby urge Mayors Nancy MacLarty and Eric  Small to put the proposal to their new councils at some  point that they vote on whether to replace aldermen with  councillors, thereby rendering themselves linguistically  synchronous with thdr function.  And should both councils act soon, they will have the  satisfaction of knowing they were ahead of the wave and  ahead of the law. Because, although the Union of British  Columbia Municipalities has approved a resolution nun-  dating the change from \"alderman\" to \"councillor\"  (originated by a female member of the Surrey Council), it  has yet to be passed into law by Victoria\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhich has to  amend the Municipal Act to make everything copasetic.  Sure, some sticklers will no doubt argue the fine points,  claiming that, if nothing else, Sechelt and Gibsons will  have strayed outside the boundaries of the Municipal  Act\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdat least insofar as terminology is concerned.  Then again, innovation of any sort is, by definition,  outside the law.  We hope the rugged, individualistic spirit of the Sunshine Coast will prevail in this cause, as it has in oihers.  \"Councillor.\" It has a neat ring to it, don't you think?  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd**jrom our files -  We Remember When  5 YEARS AQO  Gordon Wilson has been elected as the BC Liberal  candidate for the riding of Mackenzie.  10 YEARS AQO  A near capacity crowd of almost 200 filled a small  auditorium in West Vancouver Recreation Centre to attend the first general meeting of the Save Howe Sound  Society and to unanimously pass two resolutions aimed  at the preservation of the sound for recreational use by  future generations.

Denise and I had  put our home on the market,  and we were sort of marking  time until the place sold and  provided us with our escape  fund.  I was sitting by our pool contemplating a plunge, listening to  the radio, when the first details  started to trickle in about a  hideous massacre in Montreal.  Some crazy had gunned down  14 female students at the Ecole  Polytechnique\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdpurposely sparing the males he encountered on  his blood-spattered and tissue-  torn spree.  To be frank, I wasn't all that  upset. After all, dwelling in the  In a nutshell  Land of the Gun for 20 years,  where mass murders are damn  near a trivialized form of simple  self-expression, if not yet a  legalized bloodsport, had  rendered me more than a little  benumbed by such goings-on.  What did freak me out was  that killer and slain in Montreal  were Canadian, 1 distinctly  mail thinking that this sort of  social obscenity just didn't go  down in the land of my raising  up and young manhood. When  I left Toronto in June of '69, it  is my recollection that death by  gunfire accounted for a relative  handful of victims, especially  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd | when contrast^ with the yearly,  .'\/Slaughter taking place in the  States.  Hell, Denise and I used to  brag about Canada's (relative)  peaceableness, about her  citizens' penchant for a kicked-  back kind of culture in which  personal paranoia was low and  personal satisfaction was high.  Once an acquaintance who'd  just purchased a Luger for  \"personal protection\" chided  me for not doing the same. He  said I was bang derelict in my  duty to my family. \"Joe\", I  told him, \"the day I feel  thrratened by my environment  to the point where I fear for our  lives is the day I move\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnot  strap on a sidearm.\"  And while it was not the most  compelling factor in our deri  sion to return to this country,  the invisible, frighteningly random, and ever-present reality  that the United States was really  just one bi-coastal Dodge City  (where only the household pets  weren't armed) was definitely  one of the final straws which  broke the camel's back.  Now here I sit in Gibsons,  writing a column which was  prompted by the first anniversary of Marc Lepine's savage  wasting of 14 young lives. Lives  which were cut down like so  many ripe young stalks of wheat  by a hailstorm of cartridges  spewing from the metal mouth  of a machine-toolesd Hell invented by men to kill thdr own  kind.  It is a particularly painful  variety of deja vu when I  discover that a modest gun control bill is sidetracked in Parliament by the very party which introduced it largely in response  to Canadian outrage following  the carnage in Montreal. What  is even more painful, even more  repugnant, is the fact that the  Tories apparently knuckled  under to the pressures applied  by the gun lobby.  I livesd with this very same  brand of political weaseling and  cowardice for 20 years.  Following each major mass  murder (yes, there are some  which are judged to be  \"minor\") in the United States,  there is hue and cry for meaningful gun control legislation.  Politicians of every stripe lay  verbal wreaths on the corpses of  the aerated victims and vow to  make this, that, or the other  weapon\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdor type of ammo\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdunavailable for public  consumption.  Then along comes the National Rifle Association, reminding local, state, and federal  elected officials just who the  hell decides what is or isn't going to be done about guns\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand  the politicians cave in.  This morning a colleague of  mine noted soberly that he was  becoming more and more concerned about the tendency  towards violence which he  believed was escalating here in  Canada even as we talked. He  wondered whether, just maybe,  Canada was catching the same  social and psychic diseases  which the United States had incubated, hatched, and exported  right along with Big Macs and  Coca-Cola.  I told him that his concern  was understandable, but slightly  misplaced.  It was finding the requisite  antidotes for what was happening here in Little Dodge City  North that I was most concern-,  ed with at this point.  A prairie fishing story  by S. Nutter  My first really remembered  view of Canada, one I can still  sw now for sure in the mind's  eye, is of a lot of water seen  from a fish boat.  It is early morning, before the  sun is up. The water is calm  with a bit of a roll. There is a  light mist, we can see maybe  two miles, and the water has got  the opalescent light you can gd  often with these conditions.  It is a large fish boat, along  the lines of the Arctic Fox which  comn in here, and it is going  North, beyond the narrows of  Lake Winnipeg. Alongside me  at the rail at the prow is a boy  my own age, Elly Ellison. Elly is  the son of the Captain of the  'Goldfidds', Thorey Ellison,  now in the wheelhouse (we are  going through the narrows),  and my father is also with us but  still in his bunk.  At this time I have only been  out from England about a  month I think, and my father it  still something of a stranger  since I haven't seen him since I  was two and now I'm 11. Elly is  also 11 but Elly is on his home  turf, or billow or whatever.  He is of course an Icelander  from Gimli, and I am straight  out of a boarding school in  Southampton, and we have just  met. We are not awkward but  we are not saying that much.  Just looking down at the prow  cutting through the pearly  waters; and yet it is a scene that  has stayed with me, a little bit of  time when everything seemed  pretty well perfect.  The Goldfidds was plying her  regular run from Gimli in the  southwest of Lake Winnipeg to  George's Island, a dot in the  middle near the north end. The  Icelanders from Gimli fished in  small boats out of George's  Island and the Goldfidds picked up the fish and brought it to  the big tee home in Gimli.  Father was involved with the  company that got the fish,  mostly whitefish, down and  across the continent and sold at  the Fulton Fish Market in New  York.  The lake is 250 miles long, 60  miles wide in the north, 40 miles  in the south. The prairie begins  at the west shore and the  Laurentian .Shield ends on the  east. To the north of course, it's  completely open, and since it's a  rdativdy shallow lake, quite  formidable storms can get up in  about a minute.  Elly and I got along on a  boys' competitive basis, stuffing  in one more flapjack than the  other and so on through the  day. When we got back to Gimli  a few days later, the cook, who  looked a bit like Loki the old  Norse trickster god, dared us to  dive in off the railing.  He let down a rope ladder so  we wouldn't have to be in for  long, but it was May 24, and the  ice was not long gone. We got in  almost together, he pulled up  the ladder just out of reach, and  we had to swim around to a ladder on the pier. That's another  bit I remember, probably the  nearest freezing dip I've had.  We spent a summer in Gimli  at a cottage and I made the  switch from reading 'Boy's  Own' and 'Chums' to 'Argosy'  and 'Western Story' and 'Astounding Tales'. It was a pretty  well idyllic summer I guess. You  could buy for a dime, or get for  nothing if you looked sharp, a  smoked Lake Winnipeg Gold-  eye at the ice house, take it out  on the pin, lie in the sun and eat  like a railway magnate.  But trouble was brewing for  the hardy and cheerful folk of  Gimli. It came from far away  and from a quite unimagined  source. It all stemmed from the  repeal of prohibition in the  States.  The gang, the mob, the mafia  had to look around for anothei  source of revenue, susceptible  simply to the strongarm snatch,  They took over the Fulton Fish  Market and put in thdr own inspectors.  The way it worked from  Gimli was that if you got the  fish packed right and down to  New York at speed it was adjudged number one Whitefish  and you were making money.  Number two and you broke  about even, number three and  you were down the drain. The  nw 'inspectors' of course  started calling everything  number three.  Appeals to US authorities got  nowhere. An investigator sent  down was shot leaving his  apartment. A new markd had,  to be found, but it was the <  degression and money was hard  to find. Stock was sold, got into  the wrong hands, and nothing  was ever really right again.  It's years now since I've seen  Lake Winnip^, but there oi  course it is every morning,  spang in the middle of the TV  weather map...a long rather  elegant looking lake I think,  and with stories that someday  someone should write. <Lette.UL ttr the, \ufffd\ufffd\ufffddUot  Coast News, December 3,1990  3.  Fear and loathing on Revision Court beat - Tax payers said ill-served  Editor:  The Court of Revision is in  session these days in Gibsons.  Disgruntled, argumentative and  hopeful customers are appealing this year's assessment, applying, or trying to apply, thdr  reasoned protests against what  they consider to be arbitrary or  unwarranted increases in thdr  assessments.  In many cases this year, the  assessment of land went up over  100 per cent. Buildings likewise  showed a steep increase. Assessed values are claimed by the  Assessment Authority to reflect  actual market value as of July 1  of the assessment year. The idea  of using such a fluctuating standard in the distribution of the  tax burden may well be questioned, and so it is.  However, such arguments are  wasted on the Court of Revision  whose powers are restricted to  arbitrate disputations according  to the given rates of the game.  The effect of an increased  assessment, namely higher  taxes, is also a taboo subject at  the hearings.  \"Taxation is a political matter,\" says Bob Maxwell, one of  the three judges. The Assessment Authority will inform  you, as they did me, and this  year with a sweeter voice than  ever, that \"Really, taxes have  nothing to do with the  assessments. Taxes are determined by the mil rate.\" For all  that, any assessment is meaningless without reference to  taxes. The mil rate, also, seems  to know only one direction.  With annual increases it has  gone from 12.1 in 1986 to 18.3  in 1990.  Pwple know this. Most people work hard for thdr lots and  thdr homes.  These are our  labours of love in most cases.  Improvements are made as one  can afford them, and often  when one cannot afford them.  Such work tends to make our  world a better place and ought  to be encouraged. Instead one is  penalized for it by higher taxes.  Even if you have no constructive ambition, your assessment  will go up, because your  neighbours have been busy  upgrading your neighbourhood.  Even if your whole neighbourhood is doing nothing, your  assessment will go up, because  Hong Kong dollars, foreign exchange, are telling the Assessment Authority that you have  been priced out. It is time for  you to move to a cheaper  district.  An elderly couple who has  had a summer home here for  half a century are protesting the  obviouslv excessive assessment.  \"There comes a time whetn the  sentimental value of property  ceases to justify the cost of  keeping it,\" said the man. Next,  another grey-haired couple feel  they have been ill done by. But  they get no sympathy from the  bench. In terms considerably  less than polite, they are warned  to abstain from further  arguments unless they want to  incur additional penalties then  and there.  The lady who follows, unprepared for the aggressive insolence of the court, chose the  argument that there must be a  flaw in the law. She thinks an  increase of $83,000 over two  years was too much, and cites  real estate people who agree  wilh her. The lady is given to  understand that she has no  business in that room, that she  should be happy that she was  not hit harder.  There are no young appellants in the crowd. With  prices of ordinary family homes  going up by perhaps S 100,000 in  two years the younger generation will have to take thdr complaints to the rentalsman.  My case comes up next. By  now the court's patience seems  to have reached its limit. Before  1 have even said anything, it is  suggested that I should go home  and leave my place in the lineup  to someone else rather than  waste the court's time.  My case was a dime a dozen  and had already been adjudicated. Perversely, 1 insist on  having my say. 1 have taken  lime off from work for this.  The court must at least hear my  case before tossing it out. One  member interrupts me before 1  have made my opening statement, saying he could have  made a better presentation of  my case than I could.  Well, there is pertinence and  there is impertinence! Next, the  third of the three wise men, is  on his toes and mine. He is  baiting me like a heckler at a  political rally. I didn't come to  this hearing for a wrestling  match against this ludicrous  tag-team trio. I backed off \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  my case unheard.  Whether the Court of Revision gets a commission, is paid  by the case or by the day, it is  assessed far too high. From  what I have seen and heard it is  my considered opinion that the  court is doing both us and  themselves a great disservice.  Steve Skimmdand  More letters  on Page 21  Reader caught between Iraq and a hard place  CHAMBERS PLANNING SERVICES  Editor:  Just a short note of appreciation regarding your editorial  calling for a \"Canadian-Free  Zone\" in the Persian Gulf.  Oh, how I wish there were  more people like you at the head  of the government! Why, if  Canada can be convinced to  pull out of the Gulf, maybe all  the other meddling countries  will follow and the risk of war  will, simply, go away.  There is no proof that global  unity and military enforcement  is necessary to ensure the success of your silly embargo; I'm  certain the honour system  would work just as well.  Besides, this embargo is most  unfair to Iraq\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhow do you expect us to continue the liberation of the Province of Kuwait  when we can't export our oil for  the revenues needed to buy  more weapons?  And 1 sure do agree that  Canadian lives are being  threatened by American oil ambitions. I'm so glad you weren't  duped by those right-wing  fanatics who say that it is brutal  Iraqi agression that has caused  the threat to lives. We both  know that the only reason the  Americans are in the Persian  Gulf is to protect the interests of  their oil companies\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdit has  nothing to do with the  ridiculous fabrication that the  world's security and freedom  would be compromised if Iraq  fulfills its Holy mission to control most of the Persian Gulf  oil, including Saudia Arabia.  And this nonsense about Iraqi plans to build a nuclear bomb  are, as you know, lies planted  by Texaco. Iraq would never  abuse the awesome [lower of oil  dominance or the atom .bomb, I  promise!   Those  who  doubt  Iraq's sincere intentions are, to  borrow your phrase, \"playing  ostrich in the shifting sands\".  They are all biased and don't  have the objective understanding of the Gulf crisis that you  do, Mr. Editor.  Also, I want to thank you for  not once mentioning Iraq by  name or attaching any blame to  Iraq. And thanks, too, for not  parroting the American media  propaganda concerning alleged  atrodties by the Iraqi army. I  assure you, there was hardly  any raping, pillaging and  murdering, hardly any at all!  And how about that Kuwaiti  doctor who testified at the UN  about the 14 newborn infants  dragged from thdr incubators  and murdered by Iraqi  troops\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhe's obviously a lying,  American lacky!  Anyway, who cares? They  weren't YOUR children, were  they? Just like its not YOUR  country that we're liberating,  right? As you quite properly  suggest, if it isn't happening to  Canada then Canadians should  stay out of it.  At least, that's what I'm  counting on...  Forever in your debt,  Saddam Hussein, as told to  Mike Evans  Seci.dt, BC  Editor's Note: One wonders  why \"the world\" is so concerned with the plight of Kuwait, if  not for their oil reserves. After  all, Utile was said and nothing  was done while Hussein was using chemical weapons against  his own people - the Kurds.  Should Mr. Evans fed inclined to \"channel\" another world  leader in the future, perhaps he  might make it Mahatma Gandhi.

From BC Tel's environmental director, who is  reported to \"use voice messaging instead of paper memos\" to  Western Canada Wilderness  Committee's Paul George, who  wants to preserve 'billions' of  scrubby 200 year old trees in  BC's northern interior, people  are falling over themselves to be  seen as green.  Contemporary philosopher  Alston Chase observes that  \"Environmentalist!! is alike a  religion. There is a catechism  you must memorize and recite.  If you don't, you are branded as  a heretic. One of the driving  forces behind the environmental  movement today is a belief that  man is corrupt and nature is  pure. This belief has its roots in  a kind of religious primitivism  which holds that there was once  a golden age on Earth. Those  who believe this long to return  to a simpler time...\"  This seems to be the world  view of those setting the agenda  for our 'green' revolution. Dr.  David Suzuki, perhaps  Canada's highest profile en  vironmentalist writes, \"this  planet is under siege by a deadly  predator\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe human bring:.\"  Vancouver's own Paul Watson, founder of the 'Sea  Shepherd Society, when explaining his view on the  supremacy of nature states,  \"The earth becomes a more important entity than the human  species.\" Dave Foreman,  founder of the radical US group  Earthfirst! professes, \"Our environmental problems originate  in the hubris of imagining  ourselves as the central nervous  system or the brain of nature.  We're not the brain, we are a  cancer On nature.\"  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd fill confess my own 'heresy'  when. I applaud Fredrick  Turner, and eminent professor  of Arts and Humanities at the  University of Texas, for his objection to Mr. Foreman's  metaphor. He states, \"It's full  of hubris, life. For what is life  but a cancer upon the purity of  the inorganic? if we are a  cancer, if life is a cancer, then I  am for it.\" I agree.  We must not sacrifice human  well-being on the altar of radical  environmentalism.  M.L.

And to hear this vital septuagenarian with the tanned,  creased face and shock of white  Charlie Chaplin hair vet the current state of his favourite patient\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"the industry\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis to  come away with a decidedly  downbeat prognosis.  Mahood was in Sechelt last  Thursday as part of a lecture  and publicity campaign on  behalf of his best-selling book  Three Men And A Forester  which, although still wet around  the edges of the dust jacket, has  already assumed something of  the status of an instant cult  classic.  Co-authored by Mahood and  establish^ writer Ken Drushka,  the Harbour Publishing offering speaks in a soft, anecdotal,  almost serene tone of voice, but  its underlying bite strips the  bark from an industry which  Mahood asserts is virtually a  prisoner of politics, a theme he  was to expand on during a personal appearance at the Arts  Centre in Sechelt.  But prior to addressing what  would prove to be an overflow  crowd at the Arts Centre,  Mahood and his entourage  (publisher Howard White,  publishing assistant Jane Seyd,  and Tetrahedron Alliance  mover-and-shaker Dan  Bauman) fell by the Coast  News' Sechelt offices for a bit  of the old Q & A.  Mahood opined that \"You  don't have to cheat in this  business to make a good  living\", but almost in the same  breath he wu talking with some  vehemence about\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand a good  deal of contempt for\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdan  ethically corrosive government  policy called \"sympathetic administration.\"  \"It's the Department of  Forests' term, not mine\",  Mahood made clear, as if just  saying the words might make  him accountable in some way  for what they stand for.  \"And it means exactly what  the term says. The administration of forest policy is sympathetic to an exclusive group  of industry entities. They are  treated differently\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmore fairly, if you will\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthan others.\"  Mahood's feelings are not so  much kept in check by a certain  natural reticence, as they are  filtered through a consciousness  which has experienced and processed a good deal of the world,  found it wanting, and then  determined not to let it spoil his  day unduly.  But when he addresses what  he views as embodying the  dynamics of the forest industry\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhich he quite obviously loves\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsome part of his  pragmatic cool deserts him.  \"There are two distinct  classes of citizens as far as the  industry is concerned\",  Mahood declares, his robust  frame shifting in his chair.  \"One is the major company.  The other class (consists of)  those who have to bid for their  timber in the old-fashioned  way!\"  Mahood's indignation, the  disgust of a man whose personal  ethic seems to have done  something of a waking Rip Van  Winkle and found itself outgunned and out-flanked (if not  co-opted), infuses his body  language and his audience.  \"How does the Chief  Forester (of BC) justify two  closes of (forestry) citizen?\",  he demands to know.

His greatest  strength might well be his ability  to convey information and  make serious points anecdotal-  ly.  A while back he was down in  Peru on business and was staying in some (apparently) classy  marina. In sails a ship which  happens to belong to the  Cousteau Society. The scientists  on board were doing some kind  of water research and Mahood  wound up invited to view a film  documenting global atrocities  committed against the oceans of  the earth.  Mahood instantly recognized  two locations which were used  to graphically highlight  ecological horrorshows\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe  outfall at Powell River and Har-  mac. He mentioned to one of  the Cousteau men that these  shots had been taken in his own  backyard.  The scientist allowed as how  th.ey have determined that the  Malaspina Strait was now a  \"biological desert.\" Mahood  noted that perhaps the damage  had been done back in the old  days, and mentioned that the  Powell River pulp mill was one  of the oldest in North America.  The scientist smiled thinly  and asked Mahood just exactly  what they were doing differently (at these plants) today.  As his mind carried him from  item to item with the same kind  of meandering purpose as a  bumblebee cruising from flower  to flower, Mahood lighted on  the .Sunshine Coast long enough  to dispel a myth and raise a few  hackles vis a vis the Department  of Forests.  \"There are some wonderful  portions of the Sunshine Coast  forests which are simply perfect  for thinning operations\", he  declared.  \"I'm  talking   about  pure  Douglas fir and hemlock.

How will the proposed GST affect prices?  A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax (FST) is  now part of the price of new cars. So, while  they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991,  the expected effect of replacing the FST  with the GST on the average $22,000  mid-size car is a reduction of around $850.  Q: Mj son has figured out it will cost $500 in  lumber to build a dock at our cottage if he  bought it now. How much will that lumber  cost with the proposed GST?  A: You can expect to pay about $512 for  that same amount of lumber for personal  use based solely on the changeover from  the FST to the GST.  Q; I know the proposed GST won't apply to city  bus fares but I take the commuter train to work.  Will I have to pay GST?  A: No. Daily commuter trains are considered  a municipal transit service, so fares are  exempt from GST.  We're here to answer your questions about how the  GST will affect prices.

SCEPP spokesman Steve  Cohl cited a report from Dirk  Brinkman of the Western  Silviculture Contractors Association that claims that the  Ministry of Forests is \"inadvertently subsidizing herbicide applications to the disadvantage of manual alternatives\"  through their practice of supplying herl nides to contractors  and \"supplying the insurance  coverage on all herbicide contracts by assuming the risk of  any liability.\"  Dirkman's report goes on to  say that the \"costs of applications, appeals, public notices,  application area posting and  public hearings are paid by the  Ministry of Forests.\"  \"A year ago, Claude Richmond (the Minister of Forests)  gave an assurance that he would  establish a level field for the  manual contractors,\" said  Cohl, \"but this still hasn't happened.\"        *  Cohl also quoted the IWA  policy on herbicides which  recommends the use of non-  chemical alternatives wherever  possible, and stringent monitoring and community and worker  approval in cases where herbicides are necessary, and firmly  states that \"waterways cannot  be tainted with forest related  chemicals.\"  Murray Cantelon, who is the  IWA representative for the  Coast and a member of the In  tegrated Use Coalition (1UC),  but sits on the FAC as a private  member, stated \"I agree totally  with that statement.\"  Cantelon was also highly  critical of media coverage of the  last FAC mening, and in a later  conversation with the Coast  News stressed that it was important to get a balanced perception of the critical issues being  faced by the fotest industry. He  said that his main concern was  to present the point of view of  the people who are actually  working in the woods, the loggers, who, he says, contribute  significantly to the economy of  the Coast.  \"I admit that a lot of logging  practices are wrong,\" he said.  \"But changes are being made.  We can't sit back and debate,  and in the meantime put guys  out of work.\"  At the meeting Cantelon  presented a six page statement  of recommendations for the  Tetrahedron Plateau land use  that suggested a complex system  of integrated use for the area.  FAC member Jeremy Frith  angrily interrupted when  Cantelon   said   \"industry   is  aware of bully tactics .and land  grabs by extreme environmental  groups, as is the banking community. Entrepreneurs are not  foolish enough to invest large  sums of money in a rural community at the risk of losing a  secure and predictable log supply.\"  \"I don't think this particular  issue is relevant in this forum,\"  declared Frith. \"It's not up to  us to make political decisions,  or to listen to political ideas.  You have to submit that to the  LRUP and to the Forestry  Commission.\"  Chairman Tim Clements ruled that Cantelon be allowed to  continue.  Later, FAC member Tony  Greenfield, replying to  Cantelon's submission, said  \"There are several points in  your submission that I would  like to refute...the Tetrahedron  Alliance does not necessarily  support single use...there is a  series of small lakes in the area  that we feel are worth retaining  in their pristine state...our  prime concern is to maintain the  quality of life for future generations.\"  NEW?

R s the  ;;sy way to save extra money.-  (SEE DETAILS I  A Gtndli Company community news  Coast News, December 3,1990  Christmas flowers  by Jan Mtctod Slwrman  Just when you thought it was  safe to celebrate Christmas,  along comes word that poinset-  tias, everybody's favourite  seasonal plant, have more of a  reputation than any of us might  want to know.  Around the turn of the century, a child was thought to  have expired from (or at least  after) ingesting part of a  poinsettia. Proving without a  doubt that rumours always  outrun the truth, it was decades  before laboratory testing confirmed that the plant was indeed  safe.  Pennsylvania State University  Professor Dennis Wolnick  reported \"No other commercial  plant has been through such  rigorous testing to prove it is not  toxic.\"  All parts of the plant have  been tested. The sap, for example, as had been suspected for a  long time, does not cause blindness.  Poinsettias are not deadly to  pets. Reports of convulsions in  cats are not due to poisoning,  but to choking on the fibrous  plant itself.  With that said, however, it  should be noted that poinsettias, despite their tasty-looking  little red leaves, are non-edible.  They are not grown as a food  product, regardless of how increasingly delicious they might  appear as the delay for that  turkey dinner grows even  longer.  According to the Florist Information Committee (F1C) \"A  few individuals may be sensitive  to the plant. If it's eaten and an  upset stomach results, milk or  ice cream may be comforting.\"'  Comforting, yes, but will milk  or ice cream relieve the pain?  The F1C is silent on this point.  Because of the high volume  of poinsettia sales normally projected for this month, there is  Poinsettias are not poisonous.  some consumer concern over  rumours which generally surface at this time of year. To put  the problem of poinsettias into  perspective, it would be worth  noting that in terms of being a  potential hazard, the cheery  plant ranks lower than the  possibility of kissing the wrong  person under the mistletoe.  Given the fact that some 45  million poinsettia plants will  probably be sold this Christmas  season, it is understandable that  florists all over North America  want these old, but stubbornly  reoccuring, myths and rumours  about poinsettias put to rest  once and for all.  To that end, the Poison Con-  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJoel Johnstone photo  trol Centre of the Food and  Drug Administration monitors  information from 500 reporting  centres in 50 states. The Centre  reports that, to their knowledge,  no one has ever been known to  be hospitalized or treated for  poisoning as the result of ingesting any part of the poinsettia plant.  If it is true that plants not only feel, but pick up information  from their environment, one  wonders if the poinsettia is  aware of its lingering notoriety.  One can only hope that this is  not the case. If anyone or  anything deserves to enjoy the  holidays, surely it is the ubiquitous poinsettia.

Just a matter of  civic duty, a small patriotic service? There's no grim necessity  to recover waste material\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdat  least that most of us admit to.  Nothing like the mid 19th  c<entury London recorded by the  journalist Mayhew and  available now as The Illustrated  Mayhew's London. Mayhew investigated the same circumstances that drew the .attention of Charles Dickens.  Merely to survive and to  avoid the terror of the  workhouse, many who had  come down in the world, or  never come up in it, gathered  rags, bones, metal scraps, bottles and glass for the meagre few  pence on a good day.  With the outcry that arises  from time to time in our days  about dogs and their droppings  streetside and in other folks'  yards, one reads in fascination  the account Mayhew gives of  the pure finders.  \"Dog's dung,\" Mayhew  writes, \"is called Pure from its  cleansing and purifying properties.\" Pure finders have a ready  market, we read, for all they  can collect, at the lanyards in  Bermondsey where they sell it  by the bucketfull.  The droppings have an astringent quality that 'purifies' the  leather, removing moisture  from the hide that would otherwise leave the leather imperfectly dressed.  The manufacturers of morocco and kid leathers make great  use of 'pure' to produce the  finest of book covers and kid  gloves. Milkers of sham morocco from sheep and lamb skins  use the same material to provide  for some requirements of the  bootmakers.  Many of the pure finders are  men, says Mayhew, who have  been 'reduced' in economic  status, but as more people  found there was money to be  made supplying the 30 tanyards,  women and children became  collectors. Starving and  destitute Irish gathered 'pure'  too but having no idea where to  sell it turned it over to other  pure finders for next to nothing.  Mayhew's account fascinates  the leader with the detail he  draws from his conversations  with these people. The dry limey  looking sort, he tells, fetches the  highest prices at some tanyards,  but other tanners prefer the  kind that is dark and moist.  Some pure finders have learned  to adulterate the droppings with  broken mortar from old walls.  \"No business or trade, however  insignificant or contemptible,  without its own peculiar and appropriate tricks.\"  Some of the pure finders have  permission to cleanse kennels  but because of the poor feed  generally given the dogs there,  the end product is not of a good  quality and is refused outright  by some tanners.  The pure finders carry a handle basket with a cover to hide  the contents, and wear a black  leather glove. Many of them,  however, dispense with the  glove, as they say it is much  easier to wash their hands than  the glove.  Pure finders can be found in  every street excepting those  cleaned by the new group of  street orderlies. The pure  finders grievously complain of  this interference with the  priviledge of their trade.  The foregoing too scatological for your taste? Just seemed  to me a pleasant change from all  our political news.  THE GIBSONS BUS  NOW TAKING FOOD DONATIONS  PLEASE HELP!

Building  on the grassroots strength of the  show to date, the Assembly is  this year introducing a number  of innovations dnigned to further strengthen and nurture  BC's community-based artists.  The focus of the show is shifting from its traditional \"search  for excellence\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdan external  search by the jurors, to a  \"search for meaning\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdan in  ternal and personal search on  the part of individual artists.  Artists who wish to work as  they always have will be free to  do so as the exhibition will continue to have an open section as  well as the new thematic component. Artists are welcome to  submit works to either section  or to both.  The Sunshine Coast is one of  12 regions participating in  regional shows leading up to  Images & Objects IX, which will  feature more than 200 individual works by artists from  all parts of BC. Images & Objects IX will take place in North  Vancouver from May 22 to 26  as part of the 1991 BC Festival  of the Arts, with the Sunshine  Coast Regional Show being held  at the SC Arts Centre from  March 13 to April 4.  For information on submitting works please contact  regional coordinator Belinda  MacLeod at 886-7592. If you  have questions about the new  provincial direction, contact  Belinda MacLeod or call the  Assembly office at 738-0749.  Roberts Creek tidal waves  by Janice Uighton, Mt-3541  In last Thursday's Vancouver  Sun, Iben Browning, a New  Mexico scientist, is quoted as  saying that BC is \"at con  siderable risk\" of a major  quake in early December.  Browning bases this projection  on lunar and solar forces he  says trigger the causes of earthquakes and volcanoes.  Browning's theories are not  generally supported by the  scientific community but have  neve, theless created quite a stir.  Considering that BC has about  800 earthquakes a year, most of  them so slight only the sensitive  scientific monitors notice, and  that television coverage of the  most recent California earthquake was so visual, it's only  natural people are seeking  knowledge of survival techniques.  At a recent meeting at  Chatelech on earthquakes,  Peter Light asked some particular questions pertaining to  Roberts Creek: Are propane  tanks dangerous if given a considerable jolt? There have been  no incidents of propane tanks  exploding during earthquakes  although they may burn with a  fury.  Is there a possibility of a large  tidal wave sweeping the coastline? Because of our location inside the Georgia Strait, Vancouver Island will absorb the  direct force of the wave with the  side currents being slowed considerably by the Juan de Fuca  Straits and the narrow straits  north of us.  What is the main concern in  Roberts Creek? Because there  are no tall buildings, the most  damage will probably be caused  by avalanches. Highways may  be blocked by fallen rocks or  severed from shifting .earth. Access may be cut off. Creeks may  be redirected by dams of fallen  earth creating new creek beds  through property and homes.  Earthquakes emit two distinctive tyjxs of movements  each with a distinctive radio  wave pattern. Vertical radio  waves and up and down movement precede the devastating  horizontal radio waves and side  to side movement.  The great percentage of the  damage that is caused by the  side to side, give a community a  valuable forewarning of the approaching disaster.  Chatelech Secondary School  now has a monitor, the first of  its kind in Canada. The warning  message issued may be 'Earthquake! Duck, cover, hold.' Get  down low under something and  stay there.  Here's to an uneventful  December 3.  SANTA'S MAILBOX  Santa has set up his mailbox  at the Roberts Creek Post Office and is now receiving letters.  You can write to .Santa (no  postage necessary), tell him  what you want and ask questions, and he'll answer.  Remember to include your  name and address so Santa  knows who and where to send  his reply to.  PRIZES  Last Saturday the Creek  Salon celebrated its open house  with a smashing party.

But we do have an increased population and our biggest fundraiser is still through  individual donations outside the  telethon.  \"The thing that always impresses me from year to yar is  the terrific amount of community involvement by unsung  people you never see,\" and  Buchan adds that the entire  event has wholesome rewards  for everyone from donator to  volunteer to recipient.  The only significant problem  the club fac<ts each year is that  the majority of volunteers are  based in Gibsons, while the dub  itself service the whole Sunshine Coast. A lack of drivers in  the Pender Harbour\/Egmont  region means drivers have to  travel the length of the Coast  two ways to pick up donations.  The Elves stockpile all their  gotxls and, come Detccmber 13  and 14, they move eveything to  the Pentecostal Church on  School Road where hampers of  food and toys are preparetd according to the requirements of  each applicant or applicant  family.  \"We make sure everyone gets  a hamper with a turkey or  ham...enough to have two or  three good meals over the  Christmas Season,\" says 'Big  Elf Buchan, who picked up one  of the first donations himself  last week from a thoughtful  group of residents in Gibsons.  \"Local Brownies produced  tags of stuff. These eight and  nine year olds had already gone  around and collected foodstuffs  and that was die first contribution I've had all year.\"  The individual makeup of  each family determine what  they receive come December 15,  when all the donations are sent  out. Those with children can ex-  peect toys to brighten thdr holiday season. But there is the occasional holdout. People too  proud, or perhaps embarrassed  about thdr own situation, often  do not apply. .Some will end up  receiving something anyway,  though through the good will of  those around them. Buchan,  himself, knows of one such person and he hopes to add \"a little  something\" by giving to one  who feels .asking seems too  hard.  This past weekend's telethon,  produced by Coast  Cablevision's Community  Channel staff (and volunteers  from Elphinstone School) still  had to compete with the  popular Timmy's Tdethon produced in the Lower Mainland,  but producer Marianne West  says the hard work and effort  are wdl worth it.  \"It's fun. We enjoy it. The  kids enjoy doing it. I remember  one of them saying, after we'd  been working eight hours as  'slaves', 'When can we do it  again?' \"  The results of the telethon  and the number of applicants  for 'Elf-aid' this year may be affected by economic times.  West says \"Last year things  were going good. Peeople had  lots of money, but this year the  economic climate could be a  ddermining factor. It's a difficult thing. With economic  times not good, the need is  greater. We may gd to people.  The people have been very  generous in the past.\"  DAVIS BAY NEWS & VIEWS  On the right track?  by Lauralee Solll, 885-5212  Are we on the right track?  Maybe the solution, before any  money is spent on walkways,  bike paths, studies of same, we,  the residents of Roberts Creek,  Wilson Creek, Davis Bay and  Sechelt and the Sechelt Council  and the Regional Board should  all get together and push the  Federal and Provincial governments into putting in the new  highway which has been talked  about for 20 years or more.  All the large trucks would  then be off the road and it  would be much better for walking. Cars could drive leisurely  along instead of being pushed to  go faster and faster by vehicles  trying to get to the ferry. It  would save on upkeep of the  road.  The sea is trying its best to  take the road along the water in  1 Davis Bay. No matter what  happens that has to be looked  after. A walkway would be nice  but that can be done in later  years when there's more people  to pay for it.  Another very important  reason, probably more important than any, would be that  there would be an alternate road  if there was a large disaster and  the present road was washed out  or destroyed. Better yet, why  don't we just go the whole way  and make it from the ferry? I'd  like views. If you don't want to  phone, drop me a line at Box  1454, Sechelt.

GOLDEN LIFELINES  Best rum cake ever (Hiccup!)  by Joyce Ostry  I can't imagine why this 'Best  Rum Cake Ever' didn't turn out  the way my friends and I  thought it would. Perhaps you  could try to make it and tell us  where we failed.  Ingredients: 1 or 2 quarts  rum; 1 nip butter; 1 teaspoon  sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 cup dried  fruit; baking powder; 1 teaspoon soda; lemon juice; brown  sugar; nuts. (Before you begin,  please sample the rum to check  for quality. Good, isn't it?)  Now go ahead and select a  large mixing bowl, measuring  cup and spoons. Check the rum  again. It may be just right. To  be sure rum is of the highest  quality, pour one level cup of  rum into a glass and drink it as  fast as you can. Repeat.  With an electric mixer, beat  one cup butter in a large fluffy  bowl. Add one teaspoon thugar  and beat again. Meanwhile,  make double sure that the rum  is of the finest quality, Try  another cup. Open a second  quart if necessary.  Add two arge leggs, two flups  criesd druit and beat til high. If  druit gets stuck in beaters, pry  out with a drewscriver. Sample  rum again. Sift half a pint of  lemon juice. Fold in chopped  butter and your strained nuts.  Add one babblespoon of  brown thugar, or whatever colour you can find. Wix mell.  Crease oven and turn the cake  pan to 350 gredees. Pour the  whole mess into the coven and  brake. Check rum level and go  to bed.  I've shared Pat Gibson's  rttipe with you.  I'm glad I'm not the only one  who puts the wrong thing in an  envelope and mails it. This has  happened with the Senior Lottery tickets. The wrong stubs  came in the mail. Check your  tickets to see if you have these  numbers: 7268732 and 3859187.  Phone treasurer Viv Pallot at  886-3876 to sort out this problem.  People were very generous in  donating to the hamper. We  had three hampers and the winners were Virginia Eckdahl,  Mrs. McLeod find Bud Husby.  Since we're thanking people I  must include Deli Paul from the  Sechelt Indian Band. She  generously loaned her wonderful   cake   pans   for   baking  Christmas cake. Pauline Moon  and Pat Gibson loaned pans  and we thank them too.  We had several raffles and  the winner of the very large lion  was Mayor Tom Meredith and  when he was notified he  graciously turned it back and  asked that we re-raffle it. Thank  you.  The stuffed penguin was won  by Joyce Ripper; the wreath by  Rhonda Nichols; the angel food  cake by Dorothy Bracewell and  Elizabth Darby won the cherry  cake.  The potluck on November 24  was a great success. Raffle  ticket winners were Glen  English, the afghan; Ernie  Wood, gingerbread house and  the leaded glass was won by  May Wigard.

Thinning is labour-intensive and  highly disciplined. But apparently the Department of  Forests in this province don't  want this type of (labour-  intensive) logging.\"  Someone raised the issue of  logging watershed which has  become something of an article  of faith among many environmentalists who claim that  doing so is ecologically suspect,  if not downright dangerous.  Mahood made it clear that he  had absolutely no problem as a  forester with this technique.  Logging on watersheds is being  done\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand has been done successfully\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin several other  -countries whose forests  management policies he very  much admires.  Another questioner wanted  to know if he believed that \"tree  huggers\" (environmentalists)  were the cause of declining  employment in the forest industry.  \"The government is respon-  sible\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnot environmentalists.\"  Mahood stated flatly, adding  that \"Their policies are inadequate.\"  In what might have been the  crowning irony of the BC  foreestry situation according to  Mahood, was his lining out of  what is going on in Russia at  this very moment.  \"The Russians have some of  the greatests stands of old  growth timber on the planet\",  he began.  \"They are now hard at work  planning and developing the  means to seriously exploit this  resource.\" Mahood paused just  long enough for a good number  of people to sit forward eagerly  in their chairs. His whole aspect  hinted that this one was gonna  be really good.  \"Now can you guess who's  over there right now working  alongside the Russians? (Pause)  The same companies located  here in BC. They're using profits creamed from their  domestic operations to finance  the promotion of Russian  timber\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand this development  is bound to have an effect on  BC's forest industry.\"  And so it went until Mahood  At Rockwood Lodge  A candlelight vigil and brief memorial will be held at  Rockwood Lodge on Thursday, December 6,1990 lo commemorate the tragic slaughter of 14 women at (he Ecole  Polytechnique In Montreal on that date last year.  \"Over 70 people joined In last year's memorial\", noted activist Carole Rubin, adding that \"A few words will be  spoken, but ll will be primarily a non-verbal event. We would  ask all participants to bring their own candles.\"  On Friday, December 7, 1990 at 7 pm in the Rockwood  Gardens, the annual \"F<tstival of Lights\" will take place.

But it was that satisfying kind of fatigue which  leaves one ready for at least one  more round\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmaybe two.  As for Mahood himself, it  was just another sortie in  another kind of forest, one  where the trees are people, the  ground, the ground of existence, and the sap the energy  and ideas which his presence  quickened and brought to the  surface.

Last  week was definitely for the birds  again. As the rain continued to  fall and the wind huffed and  puffed its way in and around  Egmont, water levels rose  higher. While the seagulls merrily bobbed and dipped in sea  and sky, oblivious to the storm  around them, boaters were inching their way back to safe  moorage.  One crew boat found itself in  a bit of trouble after rough conditions in Jervis Inlet caused  some damage to the vessel.  Crew and boat made it safely  into Vancouver Bay where they  were able to tie up and take  cover.  Meanwhile, a few miles  away, as the seagull flies, at the  head of Hotham Sound, a log  jam broke loose on a rapidly rising creek which released a torrent of raging water onto the  now ex-hatchery site there.  Caretakers, Rob Almond and  Dawn Fowley ran for higher  ground while Mother Nature  flexed her awesome muscles,  only to arrive at another near  flood zone.

The women who (ultimately)  turn to the police often fail to  follow through when it comes to  pressing charg<ts against thdr  assailant, and consequently only  a small number of men charged  with such crimes are ever convicted, and fewer still spend any  serious time behind bars.  Petrescu searches through  some papers, comes up with a  pamphlet with a yellow top  sheet, and slides it across to the  reporter, it emanates from the  Ministry of the Attorney  General and is entitled \"Summary of Revised Wife Assault  Policy.\"  Partially to come to grips  with the frequent phenomenon  of a battered wife dropping or  refusing to press charges, the  Crown Counsel Policy now dictates that \"...the continuance of  the prosecution not be guided  solely by the wishes of the victim and that, where a victim indicates a desire to withdraw the  charge, Crown Counsel consult  personally with the victim and  advise the victim of the  availability of support services  to assist her throughout and  following the court process.\"  \"So you can see that the  police have to lay charges according to the Policy\", Petrescu  points out helpfully. \"But  women do subvert the judicial  system which is in place to help  them.\"  \/kpiter Oast  IS     V   DESIGN   LJ  Specialising in Original & Custom Designs  to Enhance Your Decor  (rowth r^O  ! mA June Imanse wishes to thank her clients tor enabling the ongoing growth I  w of her business, and may now be reached at this new number        ' \ufffd\ufffdZj  886-9738 '  SEASON'S GREETINGS,  EVERYONE!

If  these violent men were dealt  with as such\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdrather than simply as criminal offenders whose  behavious has transgressed  some legal boundary\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthings  would be much different.  \"They would be subject to  psychiatric examination as a  matter of course\", noted  Petrescu, adding that \"They  would not simply be charged,  processed, and released on bail.  Also, the women would not  find themselvs to be to blame  for their men's behaviour.\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Ms Petrescu smiled and came  up with an article which she'd,  clipped recently. In it a colum?  nist, writing about dometstjc  violence, says that \"I told a  woman in this field (Darragh  and Petrescu's) that I had heard  many men were using their fists  because they were threatened by  the new liberated woman.  'Yeah', she said, 'and before  that they were doing it because  their dinner was cold.' \"  \"We don't have an obligation to change men\", Darragh  says forcefully, but without bitterness. \"That's their business  to do or not to do. Women have  the responsibility to take care of  ourselves.\"  Both women agree that attitudes are changing, however  slowly. More women are calling  in to hotlines and shelters such  as Tfansition House. More  women are reporting assaults on  them and their children to the  authorities. Even some of the  men doing the damage\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthough  still a small minority\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdare  allowing themselves to accept  that they have a problem in  need of treatment rather than  denial.  \"Denial is a huge thing in our  culture when it comes to this  problem\", avers Maureen Darragh. \"Nobody wants to see  what's really going on. Nobody  wants to do what it takes to  really change the situation. In  fact, denial is the core of it.

Thanks to a iww high-  tech earthquake early warning  system recently installed at  Chatelech High School, the  students will have time in that  few seconds to dive muter desks  or tables, the safest place to be  in an earthquake.  The new system, installed free  of charge by Earthquake Safety  Systems of Van Nuys, California, is the first in Canada.  Last week, at a press conference at the school, attended  by members of the lo<cal and  Vancouver television and press  media, and many local government officials, a panel of experts explained the new system.  Owen Whiddicombe, of the  California company, in a quick  lesson on the nature of earthquakes, told the audience that  the first preliminary shock  waves come from the hypocen-  tre of an earthquake, which is  the point of origin of the disturbance, directly below the  epicentre, and can be as much  as 25 miles below the surface of  the earth.  These initial waves travel  radially and can be picked up by  instruments. They travel  roughly twice as fast as subsequent waves, cause a relatively  harmless up and down vibration, and occur a few seconds  before the next waves.  The secondary waves, with a  variety of complex patterns,  tend to have a horizontal movement, and are the ones that  cause the major damage in a  quake. The difference in speed  between the first and second  waves allows a few critical  seconds in lead time to take  precautions.  Chatelech Principal Jack  Pope told the audience that  School District 46 has been  working on an earthquake  preparedness program for the  last three years but \"not until  the last two months have we  really felt we had a handle on it.  We now feel more secure and  this equipment has given us the  edge we needed.  \"The students have been involved in an education program  to help them know more about  earthquakes and to prepare  them, if they are called on, to  help the community.  \"Grades 8, 9 and 10 are studying the technical aspects of  earthquakes in science classes,  discovering why in this particular region we need to take  earthquakes seriously. Grades  11 and 12 are learning preparedness and leadership training  because we feel they have a  social responsibility, both now  and as adults, to provide support in the community to others  who desperately need it after an  earthquake. They are regularly  taking part in earthquake drills  and we are pleased how seriously they have reacted when the  alarm sounds,\"  Secretary-Treasurer Tim  Anderson said that the school  district is reinforcing two  buildings not up to standard,  and putting emergency packs in  all schools.  Whiddicombe said that his  company is partially owned by a  company that is the world's  largest manufacturer of instrumentation for seismic activity. Much of the recent technology was developed in the  spaa program in the late 60's  for the lunar program to  measure seismic activity on the  moon.  Equipment supplied by Whit-  icomb's firm is also used in a  variety of industrial applications. The earthquake sensor  units can be wired into equipment that will immediately, on a  pre-earthquake signal, shut  down mtical systems like computers, gas supplies, boilers,  moving machinery or my other  situation that would cause further danger. In the recent  California quake, rapid transit  trains, because of prior warning, were able to stop before the  main shock wave hit, probably  saving many lives.  Though no two earthquakes  are ever the same, all have some  characteristics in common. The  warning device identifies the  different types of waves and can  be set so that it does not register  the 30 to 50 minor disturbances  that occur every day in various  parts of the world.  As result of their practice  drills, Chatelech students, said  Pope, \"now have a response  time of one and a half seconds.  \"As anyone who has experienced an earthquake  knows,\" he continued, \"the  first reaction is one of confusion, we usually say 'hey, what  was that?' These drills provide  preconditioning, so that the first  automatic response is to dive  for cover, using those few  critical seconds to find a place  safe from falling objects,  crumbling walls or shattered  Later, the students gave a  demonstration of how well they  have learned these lessons. In  the middle of a class on, fittingly enough, mouth-to-mouth  resuscitation, the alarm went  off.  Before the spectators were  barely aware of what was happening, the whole class was  huddled, sardine-like, under the  tablets. This time, there were no  tremors, but if ever there are,  these students will know exactly  what to do.  They're all smiles this time, but what If the earth was really shaking? Students at Chatelech Secondary School demonstrate their one and one half seconds response time at the sound of the earthquake  warning alarm. -Rmc Nicholson pkoto  We've Moved!  * Now we're BIGGER and BETTER than ever!  iSrt  <^  m  unssii  mill  with  UP  TO  $3000  CASH BACK ,n Lieu of Financing  With 50% more space, our selection is better than ever.

The Sunshine  Second Section  Conservation Officer Doug Pierce surveys the scene at Langdale  Creek, site of the new Gibsons bypass. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdstmrt Bumstde photo  Damage done to  Langdale Creek  by Stuart Burnside  The attitude of the Ministry  of Highways and Transportation, Ian Sutherland in particular, has been  \"cavalier...they went too far  too fast,\" said SCRD Director  Jeremy Frith, recently referring  to the work being done on a  portion of Langdale Creek to  make room for the new Gibsons  bypass.  Recent heavy rains have caused large amounts of damage to  the area, damage, Frith feels,  that is as extensive as it is as a  direct result of the excavation  work being done.  lan Sutherland, the man  responsible for the project at the  Langdale end, would not comment on the assertion saying  that he had been \"so badly misquoted\" in The Press, that he  had been instructed by his  superiors (due to the sensitive  nature of the situation) to remain silent.  It is known, however, that  Sutherland has been ordered by  the Ministry of the Environment to stop all work that deals  with the creek itself.  Both the \"sensitive nature\"  of the issue and the stop work  order stem from the fact that  Langdale Creek is a spawning  ground for Coho salmon.  According to Doug Pierce,  the conservation officer who  issued the stop work order,  plans had to be implemented to  remove all possible fish from  the stream soon after construction began. This occurred, according to Pierce, because so  much vegetation was lost in the  initial stages of excavation that  it was felt the fish in the creek  might not survive.  A trap had also been set near  the mouth of the creek to catch  any mature salmon returning to  spawn, something they do at  this time of year.  Pierce said that, due to the  heavy rainfall, the subsequent  flooding had washed away the  trap resulting in salmon returning to spawn in a creek that was  under construction; hence the  stop work order for the creek  side of the project.  Pierce goes on to state that  the silting action of the creek in  the last flood was one of the  biggest problems facing the  salmon returning to spawn; the  silt makes the creek bottom very  hard packed and difficult for  fish to lay their eggs in.  Director Frith feels that much  of the silt and debris presently  found in the creek (following  the flooding) stems from the  overzealous approach and lack  of precautionary measures  taken on the project. He cites  hillsides, re-seeded after being  stripped of natural growth, that  have partially eroded, timber in  the creek, and access roads that  have dissolved in certain sections.  Conservation Officer Pierce  has found a way to look at the  controversy from a slightly  more optimistic perspective,  stating that while \"certainly  (with Langdale Creek) there was  a communication breakdown,  and certainly a lot of damage  has been done, we (the Ministry  of Environment) are talking to  the Ministry of Highways and it  sounds like they may allow us a  'leave strip' along the creek,  something we've always  wanted.\"  The 'leave strip', according to  Pierce, is a 'green belt', a buffer  zone between the creek and the  bypass that would remain 'wild'  and provide conditions in which  fish, spawning or otherwise,  could thrive.

In an interview with the  Coast News at her beautiful  glass walled home that sits like  an eagle's nest on the rocks  overlooking the water, Brandreth explained her concept.  She envisions a centre where  artisans could rent, for a  nominal sum, individual working spaces. A central area open  to the public would provide  space to display samples of each  artisan's work and also serve as  a store front where items could  be sold.  The centre would also be a  place to hold seminars and  workshops and Brandreth  forsees the possibility of attracting world renowned expms as  instructors. \"If you had a well  known artisan, you could attract students from all over the  world,\" she exclaims.  She sees the possibility of  such a centre being a tourist attraction with artisans giving  demonstrations of their work  ing skills; and also a place where  buyers from city detpartment  stores and gift shops could  choose products.  Brandreth feds that it would  be possible to develop a viable  cottage industry that could provide a solid economic base and  attract government funding for  such   things   as   training,  Please tum to page 25  A  Where affordable luxury has become a reality  You'll never believe you're in the heart of  Gibsons when you gaze at the acres of lawn  and trees which surround you.

We are  passing through the bottom of  Naikoon Park, a 72,4rj0 acre  preseerve that oaupies that entire northeast comer of Graham  Island. The park was established by former Lands .and Forests  Minister, Bob Williams in the  early 70's. It lies on the Argonaut Plain, a boggy flatland  formed by glaciers in the last Ice  Age. It is bordered by a vast  stretch of dunes on the seaward  side and covered with stunted  stands of kxlgepole pine, red  and yellow cxdar.  Naikoon is unique among  parks in that it contains several  tracts o. private property. These  holdings date back to the early  1900's when the BC Government tried to enwurage farming  in the area. We take a brief  detour along the T'lell River  past a cluster of these highly-  individualistic private homes.  Across the river, four hikers  move in angle file through the  trees, their voices drifting over  the Stillwater. Occasional leaping salmon break the river's surface. A (arload of fishermen,  eager to try their luck, pulls up  behind us.  In a nearby meadow, we see  our first deer. It eyes us with utter disinterest and resumes cropping the coarse grass. Deer are  not native to the Charlottes but  \ufffd\ufffdere introduced here about 80  years .ago. They have no natural  predators here - except man -  and, in this proteaed area, are  often as tame as dogs.  Just below the meadow lies  the trail to the Dunes. They  stretch for miles along the  eastern shore, oovered with  grass and small trees; dotted  with the ruins of Haida fish  camps and the tipsy fenceposts  of long-ago settlers. We walk  for a considerable distance  through the forlornly beautiful  setting of muted greens, yellows  >tnd browns. The sand has encroached on the forest in many  places. Some trws have been  buried to a depth of 30 feeet.  Hoofprints indicate that this is a  popular area for horseback  riding.  We leave the Dunes and head  for Masset Inlet, a saltwater  body that bisects the upper half  of Graham Island, squeezing  through a narrow bottleneck to  form a sheltered inland sea. On  its eastern shore lies Port  Cements, named after a local  politician who authorized the  building of a Government  wharf there in 1914.  Port Clements has a population of about 550. Very much a  logging town, it is an amalgam  of past and present. 'Moderrn  stores rub shoulders with  heritage houses. Among the  newer buildings is an excellent  museum, founded by local  writer\/historian, Kathleen  Dalzell. Outside the museum  stands a giant log-grapple, an  Arts rental at Centre  appropriate symbol since many  of the exhibits are deevoted to  this activity. The museum contains examples of obsolete logging equipment plus rare  photographs of such long-  defunct camps as Aero and  Moresby. There is also a wealth  of other homey artifacts,  donated by pioneer families.  Leaving the museum, we  walk down the long wharf that  juts out into the inlet. Many  Government docks such as this,  existed on the Coasl in the  Union Steamship days. Since  the demise of tegular boat service, most of these have fallen  into disrepair or have been  demolished. The wharf however, has beeewi taken over by the  townspeople who now see to its  maintenance.  From Port Clements, we  detour south to investigate one  of the Island's most famous  curiosities\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe Golden Spruce.  It lies near a MacMillan &  Blodell logging road, five and a  half kilomeeters from the town.  A sign, erected by the logging  company marks the entrance to  the trail.  to be continued.

Book Corner  Collection of White's work well worth while  by Montague Royal  Successful publisher. Successful writer. Promising politician. Howard White of Pender  Harbour has a great deal on his  plate these days. From all accounts, he has earned it.  White's personal run for the  roses began in the late I960's  when he returned to Pender  Harbour with his wife, Mary  and started an alternative weekly newspaper, The Peninsula  Vote. In 1971, with the help of  an LIP grant, the first issue of  Raiacoast Chronkfcs appeared  and the game was afoot. The  magazine sold well and encouraged White to found Harbour Publishing in 1974.  A bound version of the first  five Chronicles became a bestseller in 1976 and won the  Eaton's Book Award. The rest,  to coin a cliche, is history. Over  a hundred books\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmany of  them chart-makers\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlater, Har  bour Publishing prospers. One  of .heir latest releasees is a compendium of White's own work,  both old and new, entitled  Writing In The Rain.  Writing   In   The   Rain   is  White's fifth book\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand his  most interesting by far. Subtitled Stories, Essays and Poems,  the collection is the sort of eccentric mix that can easily fall  on its face if not done properly.  In this case the gamble pays off  and the whole eclectic melange  About as artistic as a slug can gelt This rendering of everyone's favourite garden guest is on  display at the Arts Centre. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJan Michid Shernu photo  somehow works. Much of this  is due to the consistent and  distinctive sound of White's  voice which holds the pieces  together like a sort of folksy cement, particularly in the  autobiographical sketches and  the poems.  The book opens with a poem,  Ooolachon Grease which, to my  mind, is White's best work in  this medium to date. An  evocative piece about an unlikely subject, it deserves quoting in  full, but an excerpt will have to  suffice:  take that barge plank,  let il loss  ten years on the tide,  knock on every rock  from Flattery to Yakutal,  bake another  ten in the sun,  take il rounded like  an Inuit ivory and grey  as bone  crack it open and sniff the  darker core  and you will know  what Vancouver knew ducking  through  his first Nootka door pole,  the essence  the odour of their living here  and however far you are from  loving that  is how far you are  from arriving  Excellent bit of work.  Reminds me a bit of Patrick  Lane and particularly, Al Purdy  in his poem, Lament For The  Dorsets\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbut it is vintage  White.  Writing In The Rain is such a  smorgasbord of enjoyable fare  that it is difficult to single out  favorites. One piece 1 found  particularly effective is The  Yellowhead, a travel piece on  the surface but sparked with  trenchant dialogue, personal insights, great description and a  nice play on words at the end.  Mort, a hilarious misadventure about a dumped truckload  of rotting fish, sticks in the  mind, as does another amusing  driving piece: My Experience  With Greatness.  But the collection is full of  standout work. Minstrel  (although a shade overlong) is  an effective investigation of logging myth and mentality in the  Knight Inlet country. BUI  Sinclair At 90 (possibly the  earliest item in the book) is a  touching funny look at the aged  fisherman\/novelist as he  celebrates his birthday. And  How  It  Was With  Trucks,  White's award-winning story,  based on his logger father's  memories, is always worth  another look.  AU in all, a highly entertaining collection, worthy of the  praise it is already beginning to  garner.

The approach and entry to the Pender Harbour Hotel, just north of Madeira Park, are unimpressive, but a step into  Frances' and it's a whole new world. My surprised and delighted first impression was of a very warm and inviting atmosphere, dressed in much more elegance than I had anticipated, further enhanced by very pleasant background music.  Our young server was both patient and attentive as we made our selections, starting with tender scallops wrapped in  bacon, a tasty choice.  1 consider good soup to be a requisite of a good restaurant, so we each chose a bowl. My friend exclaimed \"Wonderful!\"  on her first sip of Boston Clam Chowder, calling it so delicately rich it must have been made with real cream. My Vegetable  Beef was well seasoned, thick and hearty, wilh a hint of chili and even Ihe odd bean joining the tender chunks of beef and  vegetables, lt was a meal in itself.  Undaunted, we ordered on. We were both having trouble deciding between the special, Shrimp Creole ($8.95) and  Chicken \"Oscar\" ($12.95) so opted to order one of each and share.  I started with the chicken, tender and tasty pieces garnished with hollandaise and delicate shrimp, a winning combination, served wilh rice and vegetables. When our server came bearing Ice water saying the chef felt we mighl need it, I  thought I might be in trouble, but not so. Yes, the Creole was hot (what else?), but Ihe sauce had a marvellous sweetness  thai absolutely brought out the best in the morsels of onion and especially the green peppers, not to mention the shrimp, ll  was very good Creole! '  Frances' menu runs Ihe gamut from Fish and Chips lo Steak and Prawns, with Chicken Teriyaki, three different Pastas  (nol including spaghetti or lasagne), Pepper Steak and BBQ Ribs regular features. Prime Rib is served Fridays and Saturdays, including a Salad Bar, and Tuesdays there's a Smorgasbord.  I confess we didn't have room for any strawberry cheesecake, deep dish apple pie, or one of the other dessert selections;  it will be a great excuse lo go back.

The hand you use  on the curlings stone depends  on whether you are right or left  handed. If you are right handed, you will slide out on left  foot. The right foot will be placed into the left hack. Your  sliding foot is on the opposite  side to your rock or release  hand. In order to get curl or  sideways movement on the  rock, a slight turn must be placed on the handle.  The two turns in the game of  curling are referred to as the in-  turn and the out-turn. The in-  turn is effected by turning the  open end of the handle in  toward the body and the outturn by turning the open end of  the handle away from the body.  These turns should be applied  gently or the rock can be pushed  off track.  The underface of the rock has  a small, rircuJar, rough edge,  which when making contact  with the ice, moves the rock in a  gentle arc as it moves down the  sheet. The slower the rock  travels down the sheet, the more  arcing action wiU take place. A  faster stone travels a straights  path.  Many things can happen to  change the course of a stone on  its way to the far end of the  sheet. If the stone is on the outside of the sheet, it can get into  the frost and this will make it  run straighter, if it catches a  hair from a broom or picks up  straw from a com broom, this  will alter the path of the stone,  sometimes drastically.  At the start of a game, rocks  will run straighter than later in  the game beecause the frost and  the pebble wear down as the  game progresses. More of the  surface of the rock engages  more ice surface later in the  game so the rock curls harder.  Sweeping helps to make a  rock run straight. Variations in  the ice surface cause a stone to  react differently on the different  parts of the ice.  However, even the best of  curlers have chance events  change the course of a curling  stone, lt is this part of the game  that gives the curter a challenge  and adds to the game's difficulty and excitement.  Proper rock release, correct  application of turns and control  of weight are exacting and need  to be worked upon to ensure the  greatest possible satisfaction  from the game of curling.  Remember, the outcome of a  curling match often depends  upon how well you understand  the path the rock will take after  its release.

Editor:  We would like to reply to  forestry consultant R. Giza on  our hospital motion regarding  petsticide use.  Surprisingly, we agree on  some of his points. We would  agree completely with his statement that, \"there is one certainty... there never will be certainty  on all potential effects\".  We are pleased that he received the main message of our motion. We don't claim to have all  the answers as some people  seem to. Our concern is that we  may not yet even know what to  look for, let alone test for, wilh  our present state of knowledge.  As noted in the motion,  previous pesticides have been  withdrawn from the market  years after we were told they  were safe to use. There may be  long-term effects, perhaps subtle effects, of which we are  unaware at the present time.  In the November '90 issue of  Scientific American there is a  short article on Dioxins. It is  only now after studying these  toxic substances for 20 years,  that we are finally beginning to  understand how they may exert  their effects. It should be noted  Doctor  decries  dioxins  that Dioxins have been studied  much more intensively than  many pesticides.  We would also agree that one  must always weigh the benefits  with the potential risks of drugs,  and that use should be limited  to when benefits outweigh the  risks; we should also avoid unnecessary use and seek alternatives when possible.  However, it is somewhat  ludicrous to compare paticide  use to human medication in the  way Mr. Giw do\ufffd\ufffd. There is no  known benefit to human health  by ingesting any amount of  pesticide. We clearly statesd that  when alternatives are availabe,  let's consider these seriously.  We believe this is rational.  What concerns us are irrational statements. Mr. Giza  states \"the operations are obviously benign\". It was recently  stated by a forester at the public  forum that it was safe to eat  mushrooms immediately after  spraying with Vision.  These are dangerous attitudes. If people advocating the  use of pesticides .are this blase,  we have great concern. We  believe most people would  prefer a physician's advocacy of  their health than the opinions of  a user of a product, especially  when these attitudes have been  display^. It is most likely that  people are glad we are concerned enough to \"wander so fear  afield\".  Vre believe that most people  involved in forestry truly feel  that these products are safe and  that they are not trying to  deceive us. However, we believe  the information that they have  received has inappropriately  asserted the safety of use  without recognizing the potential unknown effects.  It is time to seriously look at  the use of pesticides with a wary  eye. It is very useful to openly  discuss issues such as this, learn  each other's concerns and come  to a rational understanding.  Dr. Brian Myhill-Jones  Victim  program  Editor:  The Sunshine Coast RCMP  Victim\/Witness Services program is completing its second  year of service. We would like  to thank several organizations  and community members that  have contributed to its operation.  First, the Corporation of the  District of Sechelt for entering  into a contract with the Ministry  of Solicitor General and for administering the program funds.  Also, the Sunshine Coast  Regional District, the Town of  Gibsons and the Sechelt Indian  Band for donations over the  past two years.  A special thank you for the  most recent donation of  Trauma Bears, supplied by BC  Telephone Pioneero of Ammca  and to Vern Lofstrom, District  Supervisor of BC Tel for his efforts in acquiring them for us.  Appreciation and acknowledgement goes out to our  volunteers who have been with  us from the beginning:  Sheri Bourrie and Jean Broccoli. Thanks also to Ann Selby,  Maria Chatham and Hersey  Sewell. A welcome to new  volunteers coming on board:  Carolyn Burns, Laurie Gray,  Elizabeth Konopasek and  Ernest Gipps.  Since its implementation, the  program has assisted over 300  victims, witnesses and their  family members. As we develop  we consistently find new areas  where services are needed. The  primary services are case  specific information, support  and practical assistance, referral  to community agencies.  Developing services include  crime prevention information  (home and personal security);  liaison with police, crown and  other agencies; transportation  to hospital, counselling and to  court.  Our success has depended on  the cooperation of many agencies who come into contact with  victims and who have utilized  our service to aid those people.  They include police memlws  from Gibsons and Sechelt  RCMP detachments, Mental  Health Services, Ministry of  Social Services and Housing,  Transition House, Legal Information Services, Project  Parent, School District -16,  Crown Counsel, Setchelt Indian  Band and private therapists and  lawyra.  Thanks also goes to the  Volunteer Action Centre for  recruiting and pre-screening  volunteers for us.  Last, but not least, we thank  our local newspapers for past  articles featuring our program.  The best of the Holiday  Season to all residents of the  Sunshine Coast. May you have  a safe and happy Christmas.  For information and referral,  contact our office at .Sechelt  RCMP detachemtn or call  885-5554.

Alliance strikes blow for accuracy in news reporting  Editor:  We appreciate your coverage  of the Tetrahedron issue.  However, we are concerned that  your article of November 26  (Tetrahedron Wilderness Park  sought) has created a confused  picture.  Are you aware of the Local  Resource  Use  Plan  (LRUP)  process? Any discussion of the  status of the various proposals  for the Tetrahedron area  without reference to this process  is uninformed.  Last August, in response to  intense public pressure, the  Ministry of Forests instituted  the LRUP process. This process  defers all industrial planning  and activity and all decisions  relating to park, wilderness or  old growth proposals pending  assessment by the LRUP committee.  The Regional District is well  represented on this committee  as are all other user groups. No  level of government will be  allowed to circumvent this process.  The Tetrahedron Alli,unce,  which enjoys the support of  more than 1000 members and  recognizes a wide variety of  concerns, endorses the LRUP  process and is participating  whole-heartedly. We hope that  the other interested parties will  do so as well.  If at any lime the Coast News  requires additional information,  please feel free to call.

Coast News, December 3,1990  'i  <LetUtL ta- the, Cdttot S\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Power to people and the Rock  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdEditor:  My muse will not sit quietly  on this one!  Although I choose not to be  furious, I am certainly outraged  by the recent activities of one  man towards the defacement  and degradation of the natural  beauty of Gospel Rock. The  power to alter nature, by  blasting off the face of Gospel  Rock, is big power.  Espeecially in the light of considerable opposition and controversy surrounding the spoiling of this irreplaceable bluff, a  gift of this Coast that is held as  sacred by many. EspecialK in  light of ihe differing legal opinions on the subject. EspaialK  in consideration of the brand  new town council, with barelv  its feet wet. (What a grrat  gesture of good will)!  Esp<ecially with the acknowledged ecological sensitivity of  the bluff. Why the dynamite?  Why the hurry? It is fascinating  to question motives and to draw  psychological conclusions, but  we are all affected by how  another may wield power ovct  us and over nature.  But there's power in communities, too. I have followed  the newspaper accounts of this  Gospel Rock saga from the  beginning, and I see that big  power can't always get away  with its ravenous desires unchallenged by people who really  believe in the justness of their  intent.  And here the intent is to  preserve a piece of this Coast  that is irretrievable once it is  gone. One more gem of nature  down the tube of development  or whim. One more subdivision  and one more fist ful! of fast  bucks.  As a sometimes visitor to  Hornby Island, I marvel at the  wild beauty of their Helliwell  Park - a gorgeous bluff  headland, a face to the sea, a  focal point of nature's  grandeur. Wilh wisdom and  foresight the land was acquired  as a park, and is preserved for  all to experienece and enjoy  -both resident and visitor, now  and always.  Meanwhile, as we live our  lives a day at a time, this  timeless piece of nature, Gospel  Rock, facets assault and degradation depending on the  trivialities of differing legal opinions, and the use and abuse of  power by a particular ,person.  Thanks to the people who are  doing thdr bet to save Gospel  Rock. You have much support.  And lhanks to the folks who  filled the charge holes - good  work. The scars will always be  there - but in the ongoing battle  to preserve a semblance of our  natural heritage, the wounds  will not go unnoticed - or  unredeemed.  Power to the people.  Lome Berman  Gospel Rockers blew it  Editor:  As a relative newromCT (thr\ufffd\ufffd  years) to the Sunshine Coast, I  have taken particular interest in  the various issues that seem to  rally the indignant masses to  causes ihey could be better off  leaving alone.  My case in point is the weekly  and sometimes daily developments surrounding the Gospel  Rock fiasco.  At the risk of incurring the  wholesale wrath of the \"Friends  of Gospel Rock\"(FOGR), I'm  sorry folks, you got and will get  exactly what you deserve.  When zoning change for  Mr. Killam's subdivision were  discussed, lots of 1.76 acres (I  may be in error to exact size)  were proposed and in exchange  for the increased density consideration an area of some 18  acre would be set aside as park  land including the \"Sacred  Rock\". After vigorous opposition and a \"successful\" lobbying the idea was quashed.  FINANCE vs  FASHION?  Not anymore. Today womrn make **  many financial dec mom ai fashion  decisions - for thcmielvet and their  households  To help them make the right choices,  more and more women are consulting  Investo. s for confidential advice on  achieving financial security and growth  for their money.

You (FOGR) just effectively  seakd the fate of \"the Rock\".  Frankly, if Mr. Killam were a  spiteful and vindictive individual, I wouldn't fault him  for leveling Gospel Rock and  Kids pose hazard  building   the   largest   waterfront\/view home on the Coast!  Further more, the land  belongs to him, it is not public  land to be trespassed upon and  its works tampered with (ie, the  filling of drill hole, etc.)  You (FOGR) sniveled and  whined and now you may recap  your \"reewards\" of civic argument and righteous cause thumping.  David Neilson  Editor:  Each morning, on my way to  work, I drive past Elphinstone  Second.ary School.  I am constantly amazed at the  lack of street sense displayed by  the students crossing Highway  101 to get to school.  I would like to remind these  teenagers that they are not invincible. When they confront  two tons of steel the steel wins,  hands down, without exception.  With winter hwe the roads  are invariably wet and slippery,  or icy. Even at the posted speed  of 30 kilometre (which many  motorists do not adhere to) it is  impossible to stop immediately  after applying the brake.  I hope that the students at  Elphinstone will take an extra  few minute to walk to the  crosswalk, thereby avoiding an  unnecessary, possibly fatal, accident.  E.

This depot  belongs to the community.  Anyone can play a pan in making it a success.  We are sending this letter to  let the public know that we  welcome their volunteer par-  ticipation at the depot. We are  funded by SuperValu and our  Environmental Partners Fund  grant for two employees \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd one  full time on weekdays, another  pan time on weekends.  In other words, there is only  one paid employee present at  one time. As wc wish to keep  the depot open all day, we require volunteers to relieve the  attendant during lunch and coffee breaks, and wc hate to keep  asking the same hard-working  folks to cuinc In day after day.  If anyone can iniire half an  hour at lunch time, or 10  minuln mill tlliitiilng or mid-  aflcritiMHi, yum help would be  greatly appiniatril. If you  would like lu K|tettd more time  than that, we can \ufffd\ufffdlol you in for  an hunt hi two during our  busier pcilinlv  Ihis it an opportunity to  learn more about how the depot  runs, anil |wlut|w become involved In olher ways in our worthwhile charitable organization.

Antic Miles, Co-ordinator  Volunteers for SCRAPS  Logging notes  Editor:  I read with interet John  Burnside's article .in the  November issue, \"Weep for our  Forets\", and I've listed Three  Mm and a Forest by lan  Mahood and Ken Drushka on  my list of must read.  The other night 1 listened on  TV to a panel discussion between logging companie, log-  gens, government officials and  environmentalists. Of course it  ended up in the usual way: Jobs  against parks, etc.  The only interesting moment  came when one of the lady environmentalists told Jack  Munroe that he was only in-  tereted in his big fat paycheck.  It must have hit home for Jack  lost his cool.  What struck me as funny was  the fan that no one mentioned  that all the big logging and  limber companies today are so  diversified that logging is more  or less a side line, and when the  foret is gone, they, unlike the  loggers, will carry on in other  line.

Under this heading she  includes weavers, potters,  ceramicists, glass blowers, wood  workers, jewelers, knitters,  quitters, leather workers,  sewers, basket makers or  anyone who creates a useful object in an artistic way. She likens  her concept to the centuries-old  European artisans' guilds, but  updated to take advantage of  modern technology.  Brandreth, a native of  France, has traveled or lived all  over the world. \"When I first  left school I was an airline  stewardess and traveled  throughout the Middle East,\"  she said.  Later, she became a  translator for the World Bank,  and has lived in Lebanon,  Madagascar, Central and South  America and the US.  It was during a stay in  Ecuador that she became interested in local artisans. \"We  were in Cuenca, a small lost little town in the mountains,\" she  said.  \"The women there wore  beautiful, bright coloured felt  skirts\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdapple green, canary  yellow, hot pink and  purple\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdall embroidered with  vivid flowers. The richer they  were, the more skirts they wore.  But they couldn't sell them to  the tourists. No woman in her  right mind is going to wear a  skirt that makes her look like  Bumbolina!  \"I fell in love with the embroidery. I had my dressmaker  make an outfit that I designed.  It had a slim straight skirt with  slits on the sides and a shawl,  and was embroidered around  the edge with flowers.  \"I wore it to a party at a hacienda in Quito. The Minister of  Natural Resources and his wife  were there. He said that was just  what they needed, someone  who could see how a local craft  could be adapted to a product  that would sell.\"  This led to a government  sponsored project headed by  Brandreth where she traveled to  remote villages and helped the  local artisans adapt their  generations-old skills to products that had commercial  value.  From Ecuador, she went to  oth.tr countries in Africa, South  America and to Mexico,  developing programs suited to  the country.  Brandreth is convinced that  something similar could happen  on the Sunshine Coast. This  past summer, she talked to  several artisans at the local craft  fairs, and held a preliminary  meeting in her home. She was a  bit disappointed at the response,  but is willing to share her expertise if others will get involved.  \"I do not live here full time,\"  she explained, \"and I have my  own work to do. I sell my work  in London, New York and San  Francisco. My problem is to  produce enough to sell and for  shows.\"  Brandreth's 'work' is the  most exquisite ceramic  miniatures,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdplates the size of a  quarter, tiny vases no bigger  than a thimble, a bathtub fit for  a fairy, complete with miniature  gold taps that work,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdall  decorated with minute flowers  or tiny faces.  She is a member of the International Guild of Miniaturists.  She looks forward to the time  soon,  after she has been  a  member for five years, when she  will become a Fellow of the  Guild. In the meantime, buyers  in major world centres clamour  for her work, and are willing to  pay top prices for it.  She is convinced that there  are others here who could do  the same, and is willing to share  what she knows. At present she  is 'home', visiting her family in  Paris. She will be back on the  Coast in early January and has  suggested that people write to  her, and she will get in touch  with everybody when she  returns.  For those interested, a letter  may be sent to: Artisans' Coop,  Box 353, Coast News, Box 460,  Gibsons, VON IVO, giving  name, address, phone number  and a brief description of the artisan's work.  The usual prize of $5 will be awarded to the first correct entry  drawn which locates the above. Send your enterics to reach the  Coast News, Box 460, Gibsons by Saturday of this week. Last  week's winner was Kelsey Hanna of Gibsons, who correctly identified the fence posts across from Holland Park.  QUESTIONS ABOUT THE  GST  AND  PRICES?
