At a meeting of Wilson Creek area ratepayers Tuesday, residents voted to look into agency approvals for the development and to send a delegation to Sechelt council, outlining concerns of the community. Meanwhile the Sechelt Indian Band and their partners in the development say what they're doing with their land and foreshore lease is fair, and has gone through all the required official channels. Claude Boisvert, an area resident and part of the Wilson Creek Marsh Lagoon Committee, says people have two main concerns about the marina development. One is a fear that environmental impact studies haven't been done correctly and that the development may present problems through either sewage disposal or wildlife habitat removal. Boisvert says he has been in contact with the Environmenlal Law Society, among others, on the issue. The second-area of contention is a fear on the part of some residents that approvals for the Sechelt Indian Band aren't going through all the correct regulatory agencies or are being specially treated, says Boisvert. He points to construction plans which are being prepared by the marina developers before a waste management permit for sewage has been issued. \"Why are the developers so confident they will get approval?\" he asks. \"Are we in fact being served by the federal and provincial governments who oversee projects of this nature?\" The Sechelt Indian Band owns the upland property of the planned marina while a foreshore lease outlining marina developmem was approved by the department of Crown Lands in 1984. An environmental study of the site was done in the fall of 1992, say developers, adding that sewage treatment planned for the marina will be an improvement over most other area systems.

Joel Johnstone photo Deficit plagues proposed school budget by Darah Hansen To a positive, albeit limited, public response, the local school district opened up a rough draft of its operating budget for the 1993\/94 school year Tuesday night at Chatelech high school. A small group, consisting mainly of school board trustees, came out to the Sechelt meeting to hear district secretary-treasurer Tim Anderson speak on how educational funding will be allotted throughout the district in the coming year. Anderson appealed to members of the community present to suggest methods of eliminating the $650,000 projected deficit for the up-coming school year without creating any real reductions in education. \"Are there more economical ways of providing educational services?\" he asked. Among the comments offered, concerned citizens raised questions about administrative salaries, extra-curricular program funding and contracted rais- es to teachers and support staff. \"You have to stop somewhere,\" said one woman, drawing vocal support from others present. \"If it's all going into salaries and raises then you're just going to have to cut back somewhere else.\" Others disagreed, saying cuts should not be made in personnel: \"We're dealing with people here, not with logs. If we lay off our administrators, we are losing some of our trained capital. We've got to be more efficient in finding other resources.\" District officials present defended their present level of spending in these areas, saying the Coast compares well with what's happening in other districts. \"We realty don't said superin- compare badly to i\\endenltl.~Iiffo'(] _* , *V Smith, \"We could larger school districts' -Clifford Smith create some pretty good arguments to make ourselves look good or bad, depending on our bias.\" But for a district with 18 schools, he added, \"We really don't compare badly to larger school districts. \"We could cut back on administration costs because they are not regarded as a direct service to the classroom,\" Smith said. \"But my question is, what are the helping services that administrators do that you as a public are willing to give up? And are you willing to take the risk?\" Anderson said cuts which must be made to eliminate the deficit amount to more than the salaries of one or two administrators or trustees. Even with 1.75 per cent reduction of services across the board, a $250,000 deficit will still remain, he said. \"We have to be more specific. We have to look at the way we deliver programs.\" All suggestions received at the public forum will be used in combination with those made earlier by parents groups, teachers and support staff unions, administrators and trustees in order to formulate the final figures, Anderson said. The final budget will be ready April 27. Inside ekUmWmlmi story page 11 Annual allowable cut reduction prompts loggers to march by Darah Hansen A group of approximately 200 loggers raised a few eyebrows in Sechelt Thursday as they marched the main streets hoping to draw attention to the importance of their trade on Sunshine Coast. \"There are a lot of incomes represented here,\" said one member of the group, Mike Jackson. \"This is only about one tenth of the worker*! who make their living from the forest. \"We want the merchants and public to know that if they want us to buy in their stores, we want them to show some support for us.\" Jackson said the walk was not a protest or union event: \"These guys are management and union members alike...We're the loggers in the forest and we just want to be seen and recognized.\" He said the group, which organized the walk two weeks prior to the event, wanted to put faces to the hundreds of unnamed people being hurt by forestry cutbacks. With a 24 per cent reduction in annual allowable cut introduced by the government in January and increasing environmentalist pressures to preserve stands of old-growth forest, the loggers fear for their livelihoods. \"My family's been here for 114 years,\" said Bob Hopkins. \"I'm not getting chased out by someone who came here from Ontario four years ago.\" Greg Reimer added if the people of BC want to fund all the social programs they value, \"they are going to have to realize the importance forestry makes in the BC economy.\" \"This is not the Brazil of the North,\" said Jackson. \"The trees grow back.\" Loggers Mike Jackson (front) and Trev Huson hold up bumper stickers passed out during a peaceful march through Sechelt Thursday. Darah Hansen photo SCRAPS to benefit from SCRD service contract by Jane Seyd This month will see the last cheque from the federal govern- ment's Environment Partners program arrive on the doorstep of the Gibsons recycling organization SCRAPS. But fortunately for the group, while it will see the last of its $60,000 in start-up funding spent after three years in operation, the Sunshine Coast Regional District has recently reached a financial agreement with SCRAPS to keep recycling efforts afloat For about the past one and a half years, the regional district has paid a \"diversionary credit\" of $15 per tonne to SCRAPS for material recycled instead of going into the landfill. The rest of the operating costs were paid from the initial three-year federal grant, payment for recyclable materials and donations. Under the new agreement, SCRAPS will enter a fee-for- service contract with the regional district, which will likely amount to aboul $20,000 annually, said public utilities chair Jim Gurney. That money has been budgeted as pari of this years 'environmental health' budgei for the regional district. Under a directive from the provincial Ministry of Environment, local governments must reduce the volume of waste going to their landfills by 50 per cent by the year 2000. SCRAPS recycles an average of 22 tonnes of material per month from the Gibsons depot Some continuing problems for the group have been falling markets for recyclables, lack of storage space and transportation costs to buyers in the Lower Mainland, although the group does receive a small subsidy from the province for transportation. All directors of SCRAPS are volunteers. A salary for an attendant at the Gibsons depot is paid half out of SCRAPS operating costs and half by SuperValu.

Citizen patrols proffered as crime deterrent by Jane Seyd A group of Sechelt merchants, upset by a recent rash of break-ins and vandalism, are planning to organize downtown citizen patrols to help combat crime. About 40 local merchants met Tuesday to discuss the issue, along with Sechelt councillor Michael Shanks, Sechelt band chief Gary Feschuk and police corporal Bruce Haynes from the Sechelt RCMP detachment. Under a plan being proposed by merchants, the patrols would not take any action themselves, but would watch the downtown area and report any suspicious behaviour to police by cellular phones. Currently, say merchants, those committing crimes often get others to phone in false accident reports to police, leaving downtown without any surveillance. \"This is a consistent problem and we've never been able to make the public aware it's a community problem,\" says Mildred Hawkins of Brighten Collectables, whose store has been broken into three times. Hawkins says juveniles responsible for some of the crimes have nowhere to hang out together and little parental supervision, but adds it's still frustrating for merchants to put up with the vandalism. \"I think parents should know where their kids are and be more concerned,\" says lee Hwang of the Sunny Market, which was broken into in January. Hwang was among the merchants who attended Tuesday's meeting. Meanwhile, Corporal Bruce Haynes emphasized that any patrols would not be allowed to enforce the law themselves and said he didn't foresee any start of vigi- lanteism. \"There isn't that kind of a feeling with the group,\" he said. Merchants were reluctant to talk about what form a patrol program might take, but said they are planning future meetings on the topic. Opposing sides square off in Cowrie debate by Stuart Burnside Like boxers in warm-up, tlte two sides in a potential Sechelt rezoning battle have squared off and are now waiting for the public hearing bell to ding. At a March 22 council meeting resident Pat Chamberlin presented a petition calling for the reconsideration of a council initiative to rezone a residential portion of Cowrie Street to commercial use. At last Wednesday's council meeting, commercial interests showed up, led by Sechelt resident Jane White- ley, to encourage council to stay on track with the rezoning plan. Whiteley said it was \"in the best interests\" of the entire Sechelt community that the area go commercial. \"The rezoning would provide a benefit to the community as a whole,\" Whiteley said. Mayor Nancy MacLarty \"Because increases in population and development require more commercial areas ... the community has to be considered as more than the 30-odd people who (will be directly affected by the rezoning).\" The stretch of Cowrie in question lies roughly between Trail Avenue and Sechelt Elementary, in what Whiteley says is \"for all intents and purposes, already a commercial area... It's right across the street from Sechelt's main commercial area (Trail Bay Mall).\" She said nobody interested in buying residential property in Sechelt would consider buying the Cowrie properties because \"the ambiance is already commercial.\" Should the area be rezoned, Chamberlin says traffic will increase and endanger school children as well as cause congestion in the access lane behind the area. \"Please respect our sense of place and the right to protect our families safety,\" Chamberlin says. Whiteley contends the area already has as much traffic as it will, and that some of that will be alleviated when Teredo becomes Sechelt's main thoroughfare. She had two associates unfold an approximately 20- foot long by two-foot wide architectural drawing of the 'potential' they saw for the area. Mayor Nancy MacLarty said the visual aids were \"a bit premature,\" as were the presentations of both Whiteley and Chamberlin. She said council had resolved to draw up the proposed rezoning as a bylaw and, when the bylaw had received first reading, a public hearing would be scheduled. \"When we go to public hearing, MacLarty said, \"Then these sorts of submissions would certainly be appropriate.\" Marauding dogs wreak havoc in Creek by Darah Hansen A pack of marauding dogs is being blamed for a series of troublesome events on the Coast this spring including the death of at least one cow. ' The dogs were first reported to regional district animal cog* trol officer Stan Jones by local salal pickers working in fields near Roberts Creek. One worker recently reported seeing a pack of dogs chasing cattle in a nearby field. He yelled at the dogs in an attempt to make them stop the chase. The pack then turned on him, forcing him to seek safety in his truck. A cow, which was due to calf, was separated from.the herd during the chase. - -*\"*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd - It was later discovered dead in a ditch after it apparently fell in and was unable to get itself out.

Conservation officer Doug Pierce said packs of dogs are an on-going problem on the Coast He said many residents move out to what they think of as isolated rural communities and let their dogs run free. Pierce stud what often happens is the dog will hook up with other dogs and develop a pack mentality, chasing wild animals as well as domestic. Pierce described wildlife kills by dog packs as \"very gruesome.\" He said dogs really don't know how to make a kill - they run their prey down until it is exhausted and then make repeated bites at it \"It's a very savage type of death,\" Pierce said. \"I think that's whait people should understand.\" All dogs in British Columbia are required to be licensed and kept in order by their owners. Dogs caught running loose and chasing livestock can be shot by livestock owners or wildlife officers under the provincial Livestock Protection Act. Dog owners can also receive a fine and be brought to court on a civil suit if their dogs are caught participating in such activities.

It's on the site that marks the beginning of the elementary school zone, which extends down to the intersection by the general store. It's the same site where children are often seen walking along the narrow road shoulders at all hours of the day, every day of the week, on their way either to or from the only public playground in Robens Creek. The same site where police regularly ticket drivers exceeding the 30 kilometres an hour speed limit. The new playground sign is A student's depiction of the state of road safety around Roberts Creek Elementary. bright yellow. It's highly visible and it's in enforcement from 8 am until dusk, Monday through Sunday. The sign replaces the old blue 30 km\/hr school zone marker that once stood there, which was only enforceable during school hours. Even during school hours, the sloped road has had a history of speeders. With narrow roads and tight corners, parents wor ried about their children's safety urged the department of highways to make the switch in signs. Constable Jim McDonald of the Gibsons RCMP detachment said he hopes the sign will make people think about slowing down. He added the new playground zone will be patrolled by police on a regular basis. If all that isn't enough to make drivers obey the limit, along with regular traffic violation tickets speeders will be given a special warning from the very people the sign is there to protect. Working with the Gibsons RCMP program called Project TOM (Think of Me), children in Roberts Creek have drawn up tickets of their own, urging speeding drivers to take their foot off the gas. Coast News Classifieds GET RESULTS! Regional cuts strain Gibsons pool hopes by Charles Hart A special meeting of the Sunshine Coast Aquatic Commission has failed to resolve uncertainty over Gibsons' pool plans. Gibsons councillor Walter Bradshaw said another meeting has been scheduled for this Friday, April 18, to which regional directors for West Howe Sound (Jeremy Frith, Jim Gurney and Brett McGillivray) have been invited. Bradshaw said plans would have to be redesigned once more since construction of an expanded 20-metre pool tank hinged on regional funds.

But Area F director McGillivray said that was unlikely. The $90,000 was budgeted for 1993 operating costs and could not in any case be used for capital expenditure, he said. And since the pool was unlikely to reopen before fall and has been closed since last summer, the SCRD has an operating surplus from 1992 to cover anticipated operating costs this year, McGillivray said. He argued that the commission has enough unused borrowing authority from the referendum last year to pay for the expansion. \"There's nothing to hold them back from doing it,\" McGillivray said. \"It's an interesting political game that's being played.\" Gibsons has said that the SCRD budget decision means it is unlikely that the pool will reopen this year. But Bradshaw, Gibsons' representative on the aquatic commission, said redesign is still proceeding for a 20-metre tank and the drawings and engineering should be complete by mid month. iCftum Ji 1H0LIDMSL PLEASE STAND BY to cruise Alaska for $999 Space is limited, so do hurry!

At the time he argued his plastic dome, which went up in the course of a weekend, was a temporary structure and didn't require a permit. When he was eventually forced by the municipality to apply for a permit, he was turned down because the dome didn't comply with certain safety aspects of the building code. Bosche was told he would have to upgrade the facility or take it down. He opted to do neither, and that's when the matter went to BC Supreme Court in Vancouver. According to Vaughan, the case was adjourned while a provincial building code appeal board studied the case before ruling in favour of Sechelt. The matter eventually went back to the Supreme court, Vaughan said, and in mid-March the court gave Bosche 30 days to comply with Sechelt's building codes. That means he has until mid April to comply or take the structure down,\" Vaughan said. Otherwise he will be in contempt of court.\" Bosche, who said he is looking into ways to make his structure conform, said he hasn't ruled out the possibility of appealing the case. \"We have until the middle of April to decide,\" he said.

[TODAY ONLY I JUGHT THlSWw] MM Coast News, April! 2, 1993 Association closing doors The fledgling Wilson Creek-Davis Bay-Selma Park Ratepayers' and Residents Association has blundered into self-destructive territory by evicting the press from its regular meetings. Such was the case last Tuesday when the group met to discuss its concerns with the Sechelt Indian band's plan for a marina-housing development in Wilson Creek. Upset over comments quoted in a local paper by a reporter who attended a previous meeting, the association voted to hold last week's section of the meeting concerning the marina in private and issue a press release afterwards. The association is within its rights to refuse entry to anyone who is not a member and the press dutifully left the meeting. The fall-out, however, will inevitably land on the association's doorstep. Many members in attendance were upset that a committee of the executive would be seeking to exclude the media, driven by a false sense that the association would be better able to control the news. It is the type of power-broking move that divides and alienates the membership and ultimately diminishes the credibility and broad representation of the association. Its voice quickly loses impact as the association's resolutions devolve into an agenda of the few, rather than the views of the community as a whole. The association clearly already has a puffed up sense of the influence of its deliberations - the only bodies with any real power to veto or regulate the marina project are provincial and federal government agencies. If the ratepayers' association wants to prosper and function as an influential advocacy group for the interests of all residents, it ought to reconsider its misguided perception about the advantages of closed door meetings. There are plenty of avenues to set the record straight for any individual or group which feels its views or position or an issue of public interest have been misrepresented or misunderstood. Rewarding science excellence It's not everyday a local school is singled out for its accomplishments. ..So it was especially gratifying to see students of Pender. Harbour Secondary school lauded in Vancouver , pecently for their inspiration, creativity and ingenuity in science projects entered in the Greater Vancouver regional science fair. Ten Pender students won awards and seven projects were singled out for excellence, the most of any school that submitted projects to the competition. It is an impressive result for a small school, coming at a time when scientific research and development is suffering in Canada. One student, Rolf Harrison, won a conservation award and saw his project - an assessment of the economic feasibility of logging old-growth yellow cedar in the Caren Range - selected to go on to the national science competition in Quebec later this year. Such projects serve more than just the interests of scientific investigation, opening up new spheres of information and fulfilling a broader education role. The fair's results are a credit to the combined endeavours of students, teachers and parents. Congratulations to all. Goodbye booming grounds When I was seven and living in a cottage at the end of Mission Point Road, I didn't know that the booming grounds would become the setting of stories I would want to tell my children. Then, they held a sense of danger: deep water and industry. Their shore, though, was padded with wood shavings cut in perfect half circles and the exact size, I thought, of half a piece of bread. I would search for the two best dry ones and slip a flat piece of bark and maybe some green seaweed between them. I would walk home along the logs, then present the \"sandwich\" to my dad. Would be be fooled and try to take a bite? Sometimes. Ten years later, on a late August day which already felt like fall, my best friend and I walked along the same beach, thiough the drizzle and contemplated returning to school. IWf* heard a small sound, and looked' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd to find a duckling sitting among '.' * stones. There were no other ducks around, so after a brief chase we came to the rescue and picked it up. We carried it along the beach on our walk, and asked the few people who passed if they knew of any ducks around. Yes, one person said, there were some in the booming grounds. On we went, and there on the other side were duck families! Our charge called out, the mother answered, and there, in the land of happy endings, duck with ducklings in a line and lone duckling swam toward each other. Even at 17,1 knew that was one to save for my children. Don't get me wrong, I am not nostalgic for the days when swimming lessons were in the ocean and there was no bus. I know that blackberries grow in places other than where the Wilson Creek Plaza now stands. Working at a marina in the summers helped pay for education and 1 certainly applaud the Indian Band for developing their resources. Twenty years after I first encountered them, though, the booming grounds have found a fuzzy place in my heart. My son will have to find the fantasies and fairy tales to tell his children somewhere else. SUSAN McKIBBEN TELFER Sechelt .Scapegoat, if you please Thank you for Graham Wragg's cartoon, Prince Brian in the Land of Mulroney Tunes (Coast News, April 5). Like Mr. Wragg, I think Mulroney chose Kim,Campbell and the Conservatives endorsed her because she's a woman and, should they lose the. next election, they can blame the loss on her, claiming the Canadian electorate doesn't want a woman in power. That blame will allow them to do two things: (a) ignore their own stu pidity and (b) reinforce their prejudices against women in power. As for Campbell's remarkable showing in the polls, it seems she's the only candidate with any 'get up and go'; Jean Chretien's got up and went a long time ago, and Audrey McLaughlin's never got started.

He already gets $128,890 and if he had taken the increase he would be receiving $143,000 He said \"I couldn't take it, it's just not right wilh the economy the way it is.\" He believes that bureaucrats' salaries are outrageous. He said \"I'm not trying to be a hero but people are damn right when they say senior civil servants make too much money.\" After 27 years he said his benefits package would allow him to retire at age SS with a pension of $90,000, but damn it all, that is one hell of a pension. LA FRASER Sechelt The cost of our monarchy is beginning to be queried I remember my father saying, back when the present Queen of England was still Princess Elizabeth, he had no quarrel with the concept of constitutional monarchy, but that something should be done about tbe hangers-on and distant relatives being maintained in some splendour at public expense. It seemed a moderate position, but given tbe prevailing conservatism of the English and the guile and determination the aristocracy has used to cling to its privileges, little has changed since he made the observation more than 40 years ago. The winds of change may be beginning to whip around the coattails of privilege now, however. As the Queen herself acknowledged at the end of 1992, things have not been going well for the British monarchy. No one will say that the role of being a model first family in perpetuity is an easy one; nonetheless the family of the present Queen has let her down badly by any yardstick. Of her four children, only her youngest son Edward is free from marital discord and the rumour is that Edward just doesn't like girls. Charles, her son and heir, is separated in messy circumstances; Andrew, her second son, married the boisterous Sarah Ferguson with disastrous results; and Princess Anne has divorced and remarried. When you couple the melodramatic goings on of the royal offspring with some remarkable mis- musings John burnside steps by other prominent members of the so-called blue bloods - Winston Churchill's grandson the Duke of Malborough has become something of a national joke with his witless and drunken exploits, for example - the tolerance of the British for its privileged class seems at an all time low ebb. One of the first results of this falling away of tolerance has been shattering enough to the royal family. For the first time, the British Monarch, acknowledged to be the richest woman in the world, has been asked to pay taxes. Even that departure from tradition may not be enough to satisfy the hunger for change suddenly appearing in the most conservative British journals. Before leaving the question of royal taxes, it would be well to note that the Queen's agreement does not close the issue. The tack taken by Prime Minister John Major and the Queen on the tax issue was very much a damage-control measure. The Queen and Prince Charles, the presumed next monarch, have agreed to pay taxes but the agreement does not bind any subsequent monarchs. Nor does the agreement to pay taxes include the inheritance taxes which apply to the rest of society. Setting aside these taxation questions and the numbers of lesser royalty sustained at government expense for a moment, it may be a worthwhile perspective that the annual cost of the Windsor monarchy to the British people is reported to be twice what it costs annually for the Dutch, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian monarchies combined. There is, it would appear, room to trim. The taxation questions are far from being set aside in die Mother of Parliaments itself, however. For the first time in this century there has been political disagreement publicly about the monarchy between die country's leading political parties. The new leader of the Labour Party and former respected financial critic, John Smith, has asked in the House of Commons about the voluntary nature of the tax payment and about the non-payment of inheritance tax. He has been widely lauded for doing so. This political questioning of the monarchy for the political record is unprecedented in this century- The bad news for the monarchy doesn't stop coming. Setting London tongues a-wagging recently is a new kiss-and-tell memoir involving the Duchess of York's father. Apparently he was in the habit of entertaining his kiss-and-tell paramour in one of the bedrooms in the Duke and Duchess of York's private residence. It is not just the Labour Party or the muck-raking tabloids which have begun to question the monarchy and the aristocracy of which it is the underpinning. The following is a quotation on kingship from Mark Twain, quoted with approval in no less august a bastion of English conservatism than the Sunday Times: \"The kingly office,\" wrote Twain, \"is entitled to no respect. It was originally procured by the highwayman's methods; it remains a perpetuated crime, can never be anything but the symbol of a crime. It is no more entitled to respect than is the flag of a pirate.\" Tbe writer of the piece in the London Times in which this is quoted concludes: \"Is it not time we, the peasantry and yeomanry, ceased being so generous of spirit towards our lords-a-leaping, stopped crawling to them by buying their drivel and, if some mechanism could be established, put them all on workfare programs?\" Daddy, it's only taken diem 40 years to catch up.

A high arched ceiling with a lot of glass. With the sound on there was an English voice saying that this building had been modelled on the Roman baths at Caucus, and when the camera moved down it was indeed the Union Station in Toronto, really a relatively vast stone and marble . interior. The concourse was filled with travellers milling about and through them came a tall and burly familiar figure wearing a bow tie. Pierre Berton, of course, author of the popular book about the building of the railway, The Last Spike, and many other books of narrative western history. The man with the microphone was clearly approaching Benon through the melee. When they met he was wearing a raincoat and a hat you might like to wear if you were going fly-fishing. He came up to about Burton's shoulder, complete with hat Berton launched immediately into a little talk about the station and the building of the Trans- Canada railway, using a mellifluous mode that he can manage. The reason for this place of a station, he said, was that when the railway was being built and being considered the toughest engineering feat in the world, it was also recognized that the railway was the only thing that would make what we had on paper into a real live actual country. The railway, he said, became a kind of religion, and the principal station was built appropriately as a kind of temple. The British journalist in the hat seemed to be taking all this in. He, we learned, was getting aboard the Trans-Canada (with we supposed his film crew.) Tbe reason for this special coverage was that this was billed as the last chance that anyone would have to go across Canada by train. Bertonand tbe Brit were suitably sorrowful about this, but did not by the merest phrase approach the hanging question of 'why.' Obviously by now we have realized that this film was made a few years back. Not many though, but before the VIA amalgamation and a few union agreements. The film has validity, however. This was certainly the situation more or less yesterday and nobody much seemed to be questioning it This film then, about the last Trans-Canada train trip would have to be given, I would think, maybe two stars; but many of us watching it will have been very glad to do so. If you could disregard the apparent loss of this prime Canadian value just rat- ding across in any old way you could bring back a flood of memories. Travelling by train over a good distance, two days and letters nights, is something you can only match on a ship. You are free, you are comfy, you are well looked after in a friendly way (or used to be), there are no telephones (or used not to be). But on a ship when you look out you are mostly seeing water, and on a train there is a whole country going by. Many of us now of an age had our first experiences of trains and other parts of our country during WWII in trains pretty well crammed with young people still in civvies going from hither and yon to Manning Pools and Training Schools from yon to hither. I hardly need to try to describe the spirit on these trains and the friendships easily made. There were episodes in small towns along the north shore of Lake Superior when whole trainloads rushed down to do a bit of shopping, but mainly I would think there grew a sense of an almost timeless clickety- click night and day and all of it was Canada. Why there isn't more of this on film, better perhaps than this British travel film on Seattle's Take a second look at pool I am a senior who has attended fitness classes at the Gibsons Pool for many years to maintain a good level of wellness. Twice, I have voted to have my taxes raised to pay our (Area D) fair share for the pool. Once was for operating costs apdjpst year for .the rayeM-****'*' improvements. tot A :'ol How can the regional district refuse to support the Gibsons Pool when we voted to have our tax money used for that purpose? Without the therapeutic value of aquatic exercises will not our health deteriorate leading to increased medical costs? And what about our children learning to swim and acquiring life-saving skills, etc.? Take a second look, regional district! SHIRLEY GURR Roberta Creek Stop commercial rezoning by school Re: healthy communities In order for a healthy community to thrive, residents need to be near schools, shopping, cultural centres and churches. Businesses do not need these amenities. Yet we have been told repeatedly by Chamber of Commerce representatives that business interests are urging the removal of Sechelt Elementary School from its present site, and that the whole area along its east side from Cowrie Street to Hackett Park be zoned Commercial. This area has all the amenities mentioned above and is a coherent, well established neighbourhood. Commercial zoning would destroy all of this and there is no need for it, since there are blocks nearer to the present business core which are already zoned Commercial and are still undeveloped. New businesses could locate there close to other commercial premises without any threat to safety of children, the elderly from Greenecourt and other pedest-HWs. '';'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' ,,', :', 'J. ' By their own situations it would seem that powerful business interests want to make the village core one large shopping centre to serve the rapidly expanding outside areas. Do they also plan a multi-storey parking lot, because that must surely follow? Council can stop this ugly prospect by refusing to allow any more rezoning of Residential to Commercial in any block adjacent to the Elementary School. I repeat, there are alternative places for businesses to locate. If Council neglects to control it, then we must conclude that .the future of Sechelt as a continuing healthy community takes a poor second place in their priorities to the pressures of those who would exploit it E.M.

This was almost all the work of Henry Hawkins, a director\/cameraman brought over from the UK near the beginning to help train young Canadians in film making. What they didn't know about Hawkins, I guess, was that he was an unrecon- structible British train buff. Almost every story he went out on ended up with trains puffing round bends in the Rockies or in clouds of winter steam from Prairies roundhouses. The story was that his film stock was withdrawn until he promised no more trains. What we maybe need for a Canadian Main film is an Agatha Christie story like Orient Express. What we need to make the actuality we had really just a short time ago real for us again is, it seems, more difficult, but not, you would think, as difficult as building the thing in the first place.

Tiiifrriitlflflr by George Cooper TOM has caught the attention of the BC Crime Prevention Association and they've included a report on it in their spring newsletter. TOM, the acronym for Think Of Me, is the elementary pupils' way of reminding motorists to drive carefully in school zones. Along with his official tickets or warnings Constable Jim McDonald of the Gibsons RCMP detachment has handed out, he has included the pupils' own 'brand of tickets'. All this to SO motorists in a recent three- week period that McDonald has stopped for speeding in a school zone. Illustrating the article in the newsletter is a very graphic clawing by a Roberts Creek elementary pupil. It is headed 'Please slow down, I'm too young to die'.

Books are still a means of transporting the reader to distant lands, different cultures, high adventure - a child has a wonderful capacity to totally immerse themselves intellectually and emotionally in what they read. How I treasure the hours spent as a child devouring the popular books of the time. Please support this worthy endeavour.

Crane news Thank you readers for the favourable response to the story of Marmaduke, the sandhill crane. So far we've heard nothing more of him. A friend who is an anthropologist said \"you must always acknowledge your source\", so I have to thank Gwen, Val, Deb and Joanne for all the info they dug up and passed on to me. Spending taxes Sechelt's main street is undergoing an extensive and, presumably, an expensive facelift, thereby improving the appearance, both aesthetically and practically. How nice it would be to see some of our tax dollars being spent to improve our area. Some of our concerns could be addressed, namely the beach and the seawall. When Davis Bay amalgamated with the Village of Sechelt, there were those who were sure that with the added tax base in the village's coffers, great and wonderful things would happen in Davis Bay - so far we've seen no change. Every time there's a storm and\/or a high tide, more of the beachfront washes into the sea. Davis Bay is the most beautiful beach on the Sunshine Coast attracting people from far and wide. Isn't it time some of the taxpayers' money was spent on it before it's too late? In-camera meetings Last Tuesday night at the Ratepayers Meeting, on a suggestion by some members of the committee, a motion was made and voted on by the majority of people present, to ban the press II at their 'in-camera' meetings. I They will, in the future issue only press releases to the newspapers. Reporters may sit in on the business meeting but can be asked to leave when there is any controversial and\/or pertinent issues raised. In my opinion, this act has caused democracy to take a step backwards and smacks of censorship. Judge Lucien Cannon of the Supreme Court of Canada (1938) stated: \"Freedom of discussion is essential to enlighten public opinion in a democratic state; it cannot be curtailed without affecting the right of the people to be informed through sources independent of the government concerning matters of public interest. There must be an untrammelled publication of the news and political opinions of the political parties contending for ascendancy.\" It is too bad they have taken this stand as the local newspa pers do art,atoliWfe:'ja6l|ijf'tTy-', ing to keep the public informed about current events pertinent to the average person.

Suspe lly Owned tl >n Centre I AND Store HWY.101 One Mile West ot Gibsons \"^Mfltji Across Irom Sunshine Coast Mobile Home Park by Deanna Lueder, 885-7365 I may have mentioned modestly, that I quit smoking on December 2 just over four months ago, after smoking heavily for 27 years. However, I promptly Replaced this addiction with another. I eat nearly non-stop. Almost every waking moment sees me with something in my mouth from plastic straws to hard candies, chocolate chips, walnuts, whatever I can get my hands on. I wish I owned stock in a jujube factory or in a gummy bear plant. Now I have two nearly primeval urges to battle; the nicotine- yearning waves that periodically wash over me and the fidgets that only another jujube will satisfy. I've begun a diet now, trying desperately to lose the IS pounds I've gained. I'm going to exercise classes, I'm counting calories, and I'm drinking my eight glasses of water a day. I'm sure I'll be a better person when it's all over. But I may be alone in my glory, having driven my husband, children and friends beyond their limits of endurance and patience. Musk Music to soothe the beasts within us is coming on April 14 to 16 and April 19 to 21 at the Sunshine Coast Music Festival. For schedule information call Lois Holmes at 885-9010.

The Board, staff and volunteers at Community Services are most grateful for Sechelt Rotary's exceptional generosity and support. See seperate story. Volunteer Recognition Week National Volunteer Recognition Week this year fails on April 18 to 24, and the Volunteer and Information Centre will once again host the Volunteer Recognition Tea. This year's tea, the 9th annual will be held Wednesday, April 21 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm at the Sechelt Indian Band Hall. The format will be a little different this year. There'll still be entertainment with Ken Dalgleish on the piano, Carleen Rudland, one of our up and coming young vocalists, and the Hot Potatoes vocal quartet. Local dignitaries, including Mayor Eric haltmoon happenings by Ruth Forrester, 885-2418 Already this spring there have been well over 100 divers in the waters at Coopers Green. So far one accident has been reported, but just last week there was another very close call when a diver suddenly rose to the surface right in the pathway of an incoming power boat at the launching ramp. On the whole, the divers have been co-operating and following the rules of the area by paying attention to the signs which allocate the safe area to the lefl of the ramp. But it only takes one foolhardy or ignorant amateur to cause a tragedy which could adversely affect the whole diving fraternity in the area. According to the park caretakers, things have much improved now that some rules have been established and are being respected by visiting dive groups. Recreation The Halfmoon Bay Recreation Association will hold its annual general meeting on Tuesday, April 20 at Halfmoon Bay school starting.at 7 pm. ; ,, There is a desperate heed for more participation by parents of young children, since it is this group who obtain the benefits of the activities sponsored by the association. As in most volunteer groups, the biggest part of the work is left to a few who have to carry the load. This is a good organization with people who care about programs for young people. One of the topics for discussion will be the hiking and biking trails in the area, many of which have disappeared over the years due to lack of identification and maintenance work. So, if you can spare a couple of hours to find out about the association, your input and ideas would be welcome. Coast greens The Sunshine Coast Greens will hold its first regular potluck on Saturday, April 17 at 5:30 pm at 8146 Redrooffs Road. Everyone who would like to learn more about the Green Party of Canada is invited. Admission is free wd children are welcome. Bring your dishes, musical instruments, etc. For information call Denise or Roger at 885-7143. Cubs Cars The Halfmoon Bay Cub pack is very proud that one of their members did so well at last week's Cub Car Rally in Gibsons. Nicholas Marron won second prize in the design category and will now go on to compete in the regional event in Vancouver. Well done, Nicholas. Spring luncheon The Welcome Beach spring luncheon this Thursday, April IS at the hall at noon. It is hoped that many of you will turn out for this very special annual event. Cost is a mere $3.50 for which you will be served delicious homemade soup and sandwiches. For those of you who require transportation call Franz at 885-4590. See you there. Bottk drive Students of Halfmoon Bay school are having a bottle drive on Saturday, April 17 from 9 am to noon. This project is to help raise funds for their trip in May to North Vancouver Outdoor School. Please try to support them and have bottles ready for collection. Small from Gibsons, will be on hand; there'll be a 50\/50 raffle, and a splendid afternoon tea. But, this year, there'll be no certificates presented! Xerez Heffenden from the Volunteer and Information Cenlre talked to me about these changes last week. \"This is a social event, a chance to meet other volunteers in the community,\" Xerez explained. \"We used to present Cerificates of Appreciation, but as the tea got bigger, there were dozens (of certificates) to present, and that got pretty tedious. \"Besides, for every certificate presented everyone would know at least a dozen other volunteers who deserve recognition too,\" she continued. \"All volunteers are special, and deserve recognition. The tea gives us a i nance to celebrate everyone's contribution!\" Each of the more than 250 volunteers attending the tea will receive a flower as a token of appreciation. The flowers have been donated by corporate sponsor, Sussex Realty, as a gesture of support for all volunteers and the valuable efforts they make to improve the quality of life for us all. More than 1,300 volunteers are registered with the Volunteer and Information Centie, and there are hundreds more in the community, serving in more than 300 non-profit agencies and organizations. \"We are hoping that all agencies and organizations, no matter how small, will take the time to say \"Thank you\" to their volunteers during the Recognition Week. We have lots of material at our office with ideas about how to recognize volunteers, not just during Recognition Week, but all year through,\" Xerez added. If your agency wanls to send volunteers to the tea but you have not yet sent your RSVP, or if you would like some fresh ideas about how to tell your volunteers they are appreciated, please call Xerez or Nancy Baker at 885-5881. Rotarians Neil Scribner, Don GUIisple, and Bob Crosbie present a giant cheque representing their pledge to the president of community services Holly Lehmann. Jane Seyd photo Sechelt rotarians pledge financial support for community services by Jane Seyd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd A $25,000 grant over the next three years has been pledged by the Sechelt Rotary Club towards the Community Services building fund. Money is being raised toward the fund to help the non-profit organization buy the building it currently rents from the regional district. The grant from the Sechelt rotarians is the largest local donation to the fund to date, which has so far raised $87,000 with help from the Vancouver Foundation and B.C. Hydro among others. I j The rotarians plan to launch a major fund drive of their own to raise money for their donation. Total cost of the building is $400,000 and Community Services needs to raise about half that by June this year in order to get financing, says Vicki Dobbyn. Meanwhile, the organization is hoping to call on further local corporate sponsors. Community Services wants to buy to building so it can establish a secure base for facilities and allow funds to go to services rather than rent. The organization also . hopes a central location for tw* Vices will help foster community involvement in projects. Among services supported by the non-profit society are the parent-tot drop-in, counselling for children with special needs, a support group for victims of sexual abuse and violence, the volunteer drivers program and the Sechelt food bank. The Sechelt Rotary Club, with 22 members, was recently one of about 10 clubs in their region to receive a presidential citation award.

CLAYTON S HERITAGE MARKET Coast News, April 12, 1993 11 community Coast motorcycle awareness events planned by Julie Gibson As part of the Motorcycle Awareness Program on the Sunshine Coast there will be a mall display at Trail Bay Mall in Sechelt on Saturday, April 17. The BC Coalition of Motorcyclists will be on site with this year's customized Harley that will be raffled in July. Tickets will be available for $20 each. The proceeds from this raffle go to motorcycle awareness promotion throughout BC. We will also be selling tickets to the Motorcycle Awareness dance to be held at the Roberts Creek hall on Saturday, April 24. All net proceeds from this dance will go to the development of a motorcycle training course on the Coast. This will be geared toward riders who wish to obtain a Class 6 motorcycle licence while learning how to ride safely and defensively. The course will be three evenings and two days and we are hopeful that with fundraisers such as this we can partially sponsor riders to take the course and pay for half of the $450 tuition. This course will benefit all drivers. Motorcycle Awareness is a two-fold thing. It is the resonsi- blity of the riders to ride safely and defensively and to be aware harbour watch Julie (ilbson is promoting motorcycle awareness on the Sunshine Coast. Joel Johnstone photo of the hazards ahead. By taking a motorcycle training course their confidence will be raised as well as their skills. This will allow for quicker decision-making when needed. Motorcyclists are extremely vulnerable to other drivers. It is also the responsibility of the other drivers on the road to see the motorcyclists.

Wendy spent last winter building a house at the top of Howitt's Hill on Maple Road. Even those who did not know her regret the loss of a neighbour who clearly planned to sink deep roots in our community- Iris Sayers has lived in Egmont for many years. We are glad to hear she is recovering from her broken leg and other injuries and hope to have her back soon. The accident happened when the two were returning from Garden Bay and they went off the right-hand side of the road at the top of the downhill just before the S-bends at Ruby Lake. Doris Jackson who manages the Egmont Thrift Store returned from holidays with a broken arm. While she was walking, a car came up on the sidewalk and hit her.

'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd:', . by Joyce Ostry On Saturday, April 17 the new Seniors Activity Centre will officially become a reality for many, many people who have worked years for this day, Many of those tireless workers aren't with us anymore, and we hope that those who have moved away will return for the opening. The official ceremonies begin at 3 pm with Jean Sherlock cutting the ribbon. If you arrive at 2 pm there will then be some time to say your hellos to friends. Dignitaries that have been invited to attend are Gordon Wilson, Robert Jamieson, Harold Long, Chief Gary Feschuck, Mayor Nancy MacLarty, Marty Lund, Ray Skelly, John Binstead, Barbara Oates, Shirley Kerr, Peggy Connor, Gary Swift and Dale Eickar. Happy hour is at 6 pm and the banquet begins at 7 pm. There are limited dinner tickets available for $14 per person and these are available at the centre at 5630 Trail Avenue. I have been associated with Branch 69 for about three years and have seen the seemingly tireless efforts of the seniors to get this centre built. To the wood carvers, pom-pom makers, cookie bakers, knitters, quilters, embroiderers, gentlemen bakers, mug slingers, weed pullers, painters, tradesmen, jewelery makers, creators of small what-nots, and literally hundreds of people who have contributed 10s of thousands of hours to make this opening possible, go the thanks for a wonderful building. You were all a part of the greater building committee. Of course, there were arguments, but this generaiton of people did what they have always done best - they were steadfast and the job got done. I'm proud to have shared this if only for a few years. There has been a branch history compiled from the minutes of the general meetings covering a period from 1969 to 1991 - almost 30 years.

So far 48 businesses are registered to attend, with more 'Activities will take place throughout tbe weekend' Trade Fair. file photo istered to attend, with mor Tips to help trim your tax bill \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd If you started your own business in 1992, or plan to start your own business in 1993, choosing a date for your business year end is an important tax decision. Normally your fiscal year is 12 months. However in your first year of operation you can choose to have a short fiscal year and that could mean a deferment of taxes on your first year of income. This could put you in a lower tax bracket and help your cash flow by reducing your quarterly tax instalments for the next year. If you are planning to start_a new business in 1993, seek Ihe aid of professionals. It may save you money you would otherwise pay in taxes. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Do you earn a regular income from tips and gratuities? Waiters, waitresses and other people who earn regular income from tips and gratuities should keep a diary of the amounts they receive. Just because the money is in cash and no records are kept doesn't mean Revenue Canada will forget about it. Revenue Canada keeps statistical records on the average amounts a waiter or waitress receives in tips in a year. If the amount you report is different and someone decides to ask why, you must be able to back your figures up. Although you don't have to send a diary in with your tax return, you should have one available for examination. If you receive lower-than-average tips, a diary can prevent an unfair assessment. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd If you rent a room or a floor in your home, or the other half of your duplex, you can deduct the expenses connected with earning that income. These expenses may include a portion of property taxes, mortgage interest, repairs, insurance, light, heat and water. You cannot deduct any mortgage principal payments and claiming depreciation could affect the status of your home for the principal residence exemption. You can claim medical expenses for any 12-month period ending in 1992, Just look for the consecutive 12- montb period when tbe sum of expenses is highest \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Don't forget your medical expenses on your tax return. You can claim medical expenses for any 12-month period ending in 1992. Just look for the consecutive 12-month period when the sum of expenses is the highest Also keep in mind, you can add the medical expenses of your spouse to your own medical expenses and you can include payments to private health insurance plans, fees to optometrists, opticians, dentists and chiropractors. Your expenses also include costs of eye glasses, contact lenses and dentures. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Payroll deductions could have immediate benefit to you. If your payroll withholdings are being deducted from your paycheque, make sure your employer isn't deducting too much. You'll get your money back as a refund when you file your tax return, but you might be able to better use (tie extra cash now, or at least earn interest on it. For example, if you pay maintenance and reduce your payroll withholdings, use the extra cash to make early contributions to an RRSP. Or if you anticipate a loss from a rental property, you can expect to reduce your income tax with these deductions. Instead of calculating a refund on your return, you can reduce your monthly payroll tax deductions. To reduce your deductions, pick up a standard form letter at your local taxation office that requests permission for a reduction. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Child care expenses are deductible if they are incurred to enable you to earn employment or business income. Expenses such as babysitting fees, nursery costs, daycare costs and payments for lodging at a boarding school or camp may be deductible for dependent children. The deduction in most cases must be claimed by the parent or supporting person with the lower income. To claim you must complete the Child Care Expense Schedule with your 1992 income tax return. Sechelt Rotary achieves top honours Charles Lob, Governor of the Rotary District comprising the Sunshine Coast, Lower Mainland, Cariboo and northern areas of BC has announced that Sechelt Rotary has been certified as reaching the highest levels of achievement within each 'avenue' of Rotary service.

Club service involves all of the activities necessary for Rotarians to perform to make their club function successfully. Vocational service is a description of the opportunity each Rotarian has to represent the dignity and utility of one's vocation to the other members of the club. Community service pertains to those activities which Rotarians undertake to improve the quality of life in their community. It frequently involves assistance to youth, the aged, handicapped and others who look to Rotary as a source of hope for a better life. The fourth avenue, international service, describes the many programs and activities which Rotarians undertake to advance international understanding, good will and peace. International service projects are designed to meet humanitarian needs of people in many lands. expected as the deadline grows near. Deputy Gibsons mayor Walter Bradshaw will start the festivities at 10:30 am Saturday April 17 and the Gibsons Ambassador Pageant Committee will run the concession booth to raise money for the Pageant. Pageant contestants will handle admissions. According to Ferret, there will also be a number of door prizes offered. Among the prizes offered to date are a portable sound system for the students; a $150 gift voucher for seniors; a pair of Plasmatic binoculars for adults and over $50 worth of toys and games for children. Tickets for the trade fair are $3 for adults and $2 for seniors. Children under 12 get in free. The fair will be open from 10 am to 6 pm Saturday and 10 am to 4 pm Sunday. Employee advice by Ritchie McCloy, FCA As the April 30 filing deadline for personal income tax returns (TIs) approaches, many people wonder if there is a way to reduce their personal tax liability. For those who are employees rather than self-employed, finding potential tax breaks is a challenge, but not impossible. For example, if you are ordinarily required to use your automobile as part of your employment and assume responsibility for your own expenses, you may be able to deduct the business-use portion of your auto costs. Should you require the use of your car for business purposes 60 per cent of the time, you may qualify for a 60 per cent deduction of the following expenses: insurance, gas and oil, repairs and maintenance, a limited amount of interest on your auto loan and capital cost allowance on a portion of your car's purchase price. Parking costs may also be deducted when they are a necessary part of earning your employment income. If you must provide and pay for supplies directly related to your job such as pens, pencils, paper, stamps or street maps or if you have to pay for extra help, these expenses may also be deductible. Should you do a major portion of your work at home or if your home work space is used only to meet customers on a regular and continuous basis, then you may deduct a limited amount of different office-in-home expenses. For any of the above items to be deductible, you must file a Declaration of Conditions of Employment (Form T2200) signed by your employer. Any reimbursement received because of these items must be added to your income before deductions are made. Your return should also include a Statement of Employment Expenses (Form T777). If you missed some of these deduction opportunities in the past, you may still be able to get credit for them by writing to Revenue Canada and requesting an amendment to your previous year's tax return. If you were unaware of these deductions and failed lo keep detailed records, a reasonable estimate of your expenses could be used for your claim. However, Revenue Canada has the right to challenge your estimate and could disallow the deduction. Ritchie McCloy is executive vice-president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia. h.
