The meeting had been called  to clarify the association's position in light of recent vehement  letters written by Tomkies as  President of the association and  published in the local  newspapers. The letters attack  the Solidarity economic report.  After Tomkies' statement  about the association, discussion continued about the  tourism potential of the Sunshine Coast, and what the  SCTA hopes to achieve, provided funding is available.  J Much of the discussion centred on 1986, although the  association sees its role as  reaching far into the future,  long after Expo 86 has had its  day.  '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd However, committee member  Joan Cowderoy was not  satisified with Tomkies' very  brief statement about the  politics of the situation.  \"The reality is that there's  been a lot of controversy,\" she  said. \"We have to address this.  Irene (Lugsdin, Community  Development Officer (CDO))  has to work with everyone, of  all political stripes. How is it going to be possible for her to  work with a group that has  created a controversy which  alienates a large percentage of  our population?\"  ; Chairman of the meeting,  Maurice Egan, was quick to appreciate Cowderoy's question.  < \"Joan has tried to put her  finger on something here,\"  Egan said. \"Those letters you  wrote namely against the  Solidarity group...the feeling is  that we have to work with  everybody whether we support  their politics or not.  ; \"We've felt that you've come  on pretty strong, and you did  write under your title of president of the SCTA. We've had  some pretty positive discussions  here today and we are prepared  to accept your statement that  you're not political,\" he continued.  \"We've got to live together  on   the   Coast.   Fractionalism  undermines and undercuts (attempts to do that),\" Egan added.  Tomkies responded on behalf  of the association which supported him totally, he said.  \"The SCTA is constituted  under the law of British Columbia, to develop tourism so \"that  we can all derive benefits from  it.  \"We have little choice as to  how we operate,\" he continued.  \"When we saw. the proposed  economic development proposal put out by the Solidarity  Coalition and the Labour  Councils, as against volunteers  and tourism development we  had to act.  \"That's a strategy developed  as a community plan to extingu  ish the tourism association,  and at that we decided we will  move against it and with the utmost vigour.  \"How our actions will taint  the CDO is up to you. We'll   .  survive and do what we are  under a. mandate to do,\" he-F\\  said.  Other members of the  association spoke to the. committee as well, citing the  negative attitudes they have  perceived in the community  towards tourism.  Brendan O'Keeffe from the  Driftwood Inn said that last  year had been a disaster for him  and this year not much better.  \"There's nothing but  negative attitudes expressed in  the paper.\" he said, referring to  a letter to the editor in the Coast  News in which a proposed  underwater bubble to be erected  in Porpoise Bay was objected to  by a lady in West Vancouver.  He then went on to speak in  praise of Captain Vic Walker  and,the ExpOasis committee,  sentiments which were echoed  by other association members.  After the SCTA finished its  presentation to the committee  there was considerable discussion, and it was generally agreed  that the Sunshine Coast was  committed to making the most  of tourism opportunities and of  solving problems inherent in the  tourism   industry, especially in  the areas of transportation and  accommodation.

Council    members    were  unanimous in their praise for  Labonte's dedication and hard  work on behalf of the town and  expressed disappointment that  he had made the decision not to  stand again.  \"A great loss\" is how Alderman John Burnside put it and  that sentiment was echoed by  other aldermen.  But the mayor won't be too  far away, he says.  \"I will still be interested in the  town,\" Labonte said; \"big  things have happened to this  town, but a lot of it is because  I've had a good staff and council to work with. I'm sure this  will continue in the future.\"  As for mayoral candidates in  November,    none   of   the  aldermen so far approached  have immediate plans.  Alderman Norm Peterson  told the Coast News that \"at  this point in time I'm undecided,\" and added that he was very  sorry to see Labonte choose not  to run.  Alderman Bob Maxwell said  that he was, at the present moment, \"concentrating on running for re-election as alderman,  that's all,\" and Alderman  Burnside said that \"the situation is fluid, and it will stay like  that for the next two to three  weeks. I've been spending my  time trying to persuade Larry to  run again. He's a great loss to  the community after 30 years of  fine work.\"  Track record cited  Gibsons opts to support Chamber  Gibsons and District  Chamber of Commerce have set  an impressive track record this  past summer with more than  5,000 recorded inquiries handled at the new Tourist Booth in  Pioneer Park, as opposed to  some 600 in Sechelt.  These figures were presented  at the Gibsons Committee of  the Whole meeting last Wednesday morning and form the basis  for a decision made by the committee to support the chamber,  which will join the South  Western Tourism Association  (SWTA).  At the same meeting Anne  Langdon, of the Sunshine  Tourism Association (SCTA),  was on hand to make a presen  tation to the committee in a bid  for funding from the town. The  association is also requesting  funds from the regional district  and the Village of Sechelt. A  five year plan is being drawn up  and the association eventually  plans to be self-supporting, said  Langdon.  \"We need $135,000 for the  first year,\" she explained.  \"Irene Lugsdin has been given  the mandate to assist us to get  financial support (from senior  government). Chambers of  Commerce can benefit. They  can get expertise from us, expertise in marketing. Our aim is not  to take away from the  chambers.\"  Some  ot\" the aldermen  ex  pressed reservations about the  association and its plans.  \"There don't seem to be any  firm plans, no real objectives,\"  said Alderman Bob Maxwell, \"I  would like to see some creativity  established.\"  Mayor Larry Labonte stated  that he felt that Gibsons should  give funding to the chamber of  commerce, and that there would  be collaboration between the  chamber and the association.  Some reservations were expressed about the figures which  appear in the draft presented to  the council by the association.  \"I find it pretty rich living,\"  remarked    Alderman    John  Burnside.   \"For  example,   the  Please turn to page 13  \"We are disappointed at people still not knowing about  recycling,\" said Reg Thomas of  the Recycling Committee at the  Sunshine Coast Regional  District (SCRD) meeting,  September 26.  \"We have had continuing  editorial coverage, advertisements and brochures  available for months,\" he continued, \"and a lot of people still  say they didn't know. We will  be continuing with the advertising and we feel that by October  people will be developing the  recycling habit.\"  Participation in the first week  . was 677 households, and it is expected that this will increase. At  the meeting, before the second  recycling week was complete,  Thomas said that there was  already a thirty per cent increase  over the first recycling week.  There were increases in participation in each area, and  volume delivered to the depots  similarly increased. In the  regular garbage pickup week an  extra load of garbage was pick1  ed up and delivered to the dump  each day, but this actually  represents a saving, since there  are not as many trips made in  the recycling weeks. More data  will be available as the pilot project continues.  Director John Shaske of Area  F made a motion to have the  recycling week only once a  month, because of the large  number.of calls and letters he  and other directors had received  complaining about the lack of  service.  In speaking against this motion, Area' D Directory. Brett  McGillivray'pointed out that  complaints are to be expected at  the beginning of any project.  \"This is how one establishes  patterns,\" he said. \"It is difficult when people are not used  to it. One week in four is one of  the options that will be available  when the questionnaire comes  out in January. Let's hold off  until the trial period is over.\"  Director Jon McRae said that  most of the calls he received  were from people who actually  want garbage pick-up four  weeks out of four although they .  are in favour of the concept of  recycling.  \"People believe it's their  God-given right as taxpayers,  and they are certainly persistent  about it,\" he said.  Although Shaske and McRae  both felt that one in four would  be a good solution the motion  to change course at this point  was defeated.  Most of the directors agreed  that to change now would invite  chaos and Chairman Jim  Gurney said that he thought to  do so would be pre-judging the  January opinion poll.  Thomas, speaking from the  floor to the motion, summed up  the feelings of the recycling  committee.  \"The recycling committee has  put in a lot of time on recycling,  and they have worked very very  hard indeed on the basis of the  board's decision to go one week  in two, not to mention the considerable money spent on getting the project underway.  \"Now, when there's a little  bit of flak you're saying, let's  run to the hills. Well,\" he said,  \"you can just go whistle up a  stump next time you want a  committee. You've made a decision, bite the bullet and stick  with it.\"   .

Coast News, September 30,1985  .*  I  f  i  *  i  i  i  ,1  it  Mayor  Labonte  The decision of Gibsons Mayor Larry Labonte, announced at the last meeting of council on September 24  must be respected, but it surely must also be regretted.  Mayor Labonte has been for more than thirty years  one of the most consistently active of community-  minded citizens. Besides his distinguished municipal ser-  vice.he comes to an end in November of his third term  as mayor of the Town of Gibsons and has also performed in distinguished fashion through his aldermanic  terms-he has turned his talents and energies over the  years to the service of his trade union, the Gibsons and  district Chamber of Commerce, and the Gibsons  Athletic Association.  It can be justly argued that Mayor Labonte's  foresight in acquiring land in Gibsons Harbour made  possible the development of Gibsons Marina and to  think of the Sunshine Coast during the present  economic difficulties without that bright spot is to shudder.  Mayor Labonte brought to his office a world of  knowledge of the town of Gibons but more than his  background and experience he presided with charm and  dignity over the deliberations of council and in his  ceremonial role as mayor he represented the town in exemplary fashion.  Further, it has been heart-warming to sit in council  and see Katimavik youngsters or visiting school children  from Quebec realize wide-eyed that the mayor of a town  in far off B.C. was one of them and was at home in their  language. What better way to feel this whole country is  theirs, too?  We feel sure that the citizens of Gibsons and their  neighbours on the Sunshine Coast will join the staff of  the Coast News in expressing their admiration and appreciation of the work of Mayor Labonte. He has  enriched his community with selfless and honest service.  John Burnside  from the files of the COAST NEWS  5 YEARS AGO  The Charles Lee investigation into the consequences  of amalgamation of The Village of Sechlet and Area C of  the Sunshine Coast Regional District has concluded the  marriage is predictable and acceptable.  Public transit on the Sunshine Coast may soon be the  subject of a comprehensive feasibility study by the Urban Transit Authority.  10 YEARS AGO  The Sunshine Coast is maintaining a propane supply  because management personnel have been able to  sneak the supply barges into the Roberts Creek terminal. Propane workers affiliated with Teamsters Union  Local 351 have been on strike since July 18, seeking a  $2.60 an hour pay increase over two years and an October contract expiry date.  15 YEARS AGO  Having received notification from Pollution Board officials in Victoria that it can go ahead with its sewage  disposal   project,   Gibsons   council   has   revised   its  $200,000 sewage bylaw. By the time the bylaw has been  reviewed and accepted by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs it is expected that double the amount will be required due to inflationary increases in costs and the addition of the secondary treatment plant.  20 YEARS AGO  Gibsons council  took a good  look at area water  resources and concluded that the best course for them  was to maintain a sufficient supply of water on hand for  immediate use and at the same time look towards a  district water board for future large scale development.  25 YEARS AGO  The new bowling alley, the E and A Bowladrome,  opened Saturday night in Gibsons.

Ted Osborne, Steve Howlett, John  Toynbee, E. Clayton and Ernie Pearson will serve as  commissioners until the first village election is held.

The boat, tied to  the wharf, lurched unexpectedly and Kerr fell overboard.  Unable to swim, he came up underneath the boat. Kenneth reached under the boat, grabbed his friend's  clothing and pulled him to the surface, shouting for  help. Mrs. Kerr ran to the wharf and dragged the  floundering youngster to safety.

Growing role for homemakers  \"Most people don't know  how big a service Homemakers  is, and my role in the next five  years is to change that,\" Gloria  Lifton, in an interview with the  Coast News last week was talking about her new job and what  she hopes to accomplish in it.  Lifton has just been appointed Executive Director of  the Home Support Association  (HSA) of British Columbia and  has now left her position as Administrator of the Sunshine  Coast Homemakers Society, a  position she has held for the  past three and a half years.  The selection of an executive  director is rigorous, Lifton said.  A private consulting company  was hired to complete the process which involved not only the  submission of a resume and an  initial two and a half hour inter-  view, aptitude and  psychological testing, but also  included work to be completed  at home, a second interview in  which three separate presentations had to be made with only  a half hour to prepare.  \"You have to be able to do  that in the job,\" Lifton explained. \"My teaching in adult  education helped me to land on  my feet but it wasn't easy.\"  The new job holds the promise of exciting challenges; Lifton sees the opportunity to lob  by for more funding and better  recognition for homemakers as  important goals.  \"Homemakers have a low  profile, they get low benefits  and low wages but the job they  do is very important.\" Lifton  said.  \"So many people can't stay  at home without some help. We  did a survey recently of almost  half our clients, that's 150 people. We found that 43 per cent  of our clients could not stay at  home without a homemaker, 46  per cent found it hard to assess  whether they could or not, and  57 per cent said that they felt  having a homemaker kept them  out of hospital,\" she continued.  \"Staying at home when  you're elderly helps people to  keep their independence, it  allows them to make their own  decisions. In the same survey,  94 per cent said that  homemakers encouraged their  independence.\"  The statistics support  Lifton's belief that, without an  in-home service for the elderly,  facilities in the future will be  severely strained.  \"It's estimated that in 15 to  20 years the population of those  over the age of 65 will triple. If  we don't have services in place  by then every hospital bed in the  country will  be taken by so  meone who is over 65,\" she explained.  \"We have to have agencies  working together to keep people  in their homes and there just  aren't enough dollars to build  facilities to cope with the problem,\" she added.  Lifton had high praise for the  service on the Sunshine Coast.  \"We have 350 clients, from  Langdale to Egmont. One of  the homemakers has to walk in  a mile from the road. We have  70 homemakers and six administrative and supervisory  staff to keep track of all that,  and a budget of close to a  million dollars.  \"Of all the agencies I'm  familiar with through my work  with the HSA, this is one of the  best; the quality is high and it is  run well. That's because we  have a dedicated supervisory  staff who are very good at what  they do, and we have good  Homemakers,\" she said.  To be a homemaker requires  .special skills.  \"We prefer those with the  Homemakers certificate.  There's a course at Cap College  but this year there are 100 applicants for only 24 seats.  \"You have to be a good  housekeeper, because there's a  fair amount of that involved.  You need some skills in pro  viding personal services like  bathing and hair-washing and  you have to like old people.  \"That's the most important  really, that and patience. Our  homemakers grow to value the  relationships they . have with  their clients. They learn a lot  and they certainly deserve more  money than they get.\"  One of the most exciting  events in Lifton's future is a  conference in Vancouver next  February which will bring  together all those involved in  home care in social and.health  related services. Called  'Building Bridges', the conference hopes to mobilize home  support for the future, as well  as enhancing the participants'  skills and bridging and building  networks.  \"One thing I'd like to see is  more seniors helping seniors,\"  said Lifton. \"The young elderly, from 65 to 75 years old, can  provide valuable volunteer services, like visiting, driving, helping in the home, helping out the  older elderly.  \"We don't have the same  family support system that we  used to have. Especially in the  cities, neighbours just don't  look after each other any more,  and families are scattered.  We're lucky up here, people  take care of each other much  more than they do in the city.\"  Maryannq's    viewpoint  History's alternative to hysteria  by Maryanne West  What went through your  mind when you watched on  T.V. parents demonstrating  against children being allowed  to attend school because,  tragically they have been born  with AIDS? An understanding  of how important it is to protect  one's children from infection,  but also the shock of how thin a  veneer civilization is.  Recent generations have  grown up thinking of plagues as  a scourge belonging to the Middle Ages or to darkest Africa  not something our high-tech  modern society can be heir to.  To counterbalance hysteria  perhaps it's a good time to retell  the story of how a small English  village coped with an outbreak  of bubonic plague 320 years  ago.  The village of Eyam in the  Peak District of Derbyshire occupies a narrow strip of relatively flat land atop limestone cliffs  and below the 1000 foot moors  which rise steeply to the north.  The stone built cottages straggle  along the main street with the  church set back behind a row of  Linden trees in the centre. In  1665 there were some 300 residents, mostly workers in the  lead mines, tradesmen and  farmers.  It was a few years after the  restoration of the Monarchy  and a new young rector,  William Mompesson had been  appointed to replace the nonconformist minister of  Cromwell's time, one Thomas  Stanley, almost 70 years old  who still lived in the village and  was widely respected.  As the summer of 1665 came  to an end the villagers were impatiently awaiting news from  London of the new styles and  the bolts of cloth ordered by  George Vicars, the tailor.  George was a young man and  young and old were accustomed  to drop by his shop next to the  church to exchange gossip and  the time of day.  Almost before the news of  the arrival of\" the cloth had  spread through the village there  was the more astonishing news  that this strong, healthy young  man, the tailor, had been taken  suddenly ill with unusual symptoms and the Reverend Mompesson had been called. Doctors  were mostly employed by the  aristocracy in those days and  priests ministered to both body  and soul of their parishioners.  But despite these ministrations  George Vicars died.  A couple of weeks later when  things were getting back to normal following Vicars' unexpected and tragic death one of  his friends, who had been with  him during his brief illness, was  striken with the same symptoms, chills, fever, lymph swellings which broke like carbuncles, followed quickly by  delirium and death, and two  days later rumours that still  another young man was sick.  Within a month there were  six graves in the church yard  and the doleful tolling of the  passing bell struck terror into  the hearts of all who heard it.  No one wanted to voice the  unspoken fear that bubonic  plague raging in London had  been brought to the village in  the cloth sent to the tailor.  From the first death Mompesson had urged the relatives  to waste no time in burying the  dead and funerals had been held  within 24 hours as each week  recorded more victims. The two  ministers joined forces to persuade the villagers to take what  precautions they could.  Funerals no longer took place in  the church, the dead were interred as close to their homes as  possible, and to this day there  are gravestones in fields and  gardens and sometimes under  kitchen floors.  Of course there was fear and  many must have considered  running away, but where to go?  The Ministers, Mompesson  and Stanley, gave strong leadership to which the people listened, persuading them to stay and  isolate their village to save the  rest of the countryside, and  made arrangements with the  Duke of Devonshire who lived  nearby to bankroll supplies for  the beleagured villagers, which  would be left at the village  boundaries.  Even Sunday services were no  longer held in the church, but in  a grassy dale below the village  which had a natural rock amphitheatre from which Mompesson could encourage his  dwindling flock.  By the time the disease finally  exhausted itself in the fall of  1666, 259 of the 300 villagers  had died        including  Mompesson's young wife  Some families had been completely wiped out and there were  countless stories of individual  heroism. Between August 3 and  10, 1666, Mrs. Hancock of  Riley farm on the outskirts ol  the village buried her husband  and six children, whose gra\\ev  now surrounded by a wall arc  still in the pasture near the  house. A son who lived in Shel-  field erected the headstones.  Because of the bravery of ihv  villagers the plague was confii1  ed to Eyam and not spread, as \\  so easily could have been, to tin  whole of the north of England.  Their heroism is remembered  each year in August on Plague  Sunday when the whole community gathers on the grassy  slopes of the Cucklett Delf for  an open air service of thanksgiving.

Hubert boosts Coast  Editor:  I'd like to voice my opinion  about the opportunity I see  before us here in this area in  1986.  Having visited and lived in  some of the most desirable areas  of the western world, I see clearly that this area, specifically the  Sunshine Coast, offers an environment unlike many others.  Cold and wet sometimes, yes...  but beautiful and desirable, absolutely.  I've become involved with the  ExpOasis committee because I  see next year as an opportunity  unlike any other.  Like it or not, there will be an  influx of visitors to this area  next year.  There is a lot of yakking going on about political mumbo-  jumbo, and Bennett grooming  himself to be King, and all this  nonsense...when the fact is that  every resident of the Sunshine  Coast can and will benefit from  the government's efforts to bring people to this area next year,  if the individual will decide what  these benefits are and work  within the community to ensure  that everything runs smoothly  for everyone concerned.  Everyone's life depends in  some respect upon commerce  and trade. The only way these  communities can benefit from  this opportunity is to prepare  for it constructively and cooperatively.  There may be those who  say:\"leave us alone...we don't  need you or your 'Expo' and its  tourists coming around here..\".  That point of view, in my opinion, is crucially miscalculated.  SCRD fiasco charged  Editor:  I find this new SCRD dictatorial fiasco obsolutely  ridiculous. First they do away  with the local dump, which has  brought the bears in closer to  the rural areas, not mentioning  our having to haul away excess  garbage all the way to Sechelt  and miles up into the middle of  nowhere.  They are first asking, for people to dump their garbage  wherever they find a convenient  spot.  I put a fish head and remains  in our garbage container on a  weekend and by Thursday our  usual pick up day, it was crawling with maggots inside and  outside of the container during  the hot season. Can you imagine it setting there for two  weeks!  I wonder what they will come  up with next?  There is no reason why they  can't have a bin in Gibsons for  recycling materials.  Vi Prest  BC Tel position  Editor:  In your August 26 edition,  the latest T.W.U. proposal to  B.C. Tel was indicated in brief,  along with the views of a  T.W.U. spokesman. I would  like to outline for your readers  why B.C. Tel did not agree with  the union's suggestion.  The T.W.U. has been quoted  as stating that B.C. Tel had  earlier identified employee  wages as a major cost factor in  the Company's decision not to  operate a mart.  That is correct.  But the T.W.U.'s offer to  pay the employees' wages for a  year is not a solution.  Our studies have indicated  that the local area is not large  enough to support a staffed  mart. Even if we were to go  along with the T.W.U.'s offer  of paying the salaries of two  workers for a year, at the end of  that time, we know that the  situation would be the same: the  mart would not be cost effective, and resources to an outlet  with insufficient volume to be  efficient.  Certainly the T.W.U. would  not pay the workers wages  forever, and the reality of the  situation would have to be faced  in time.  (The T.W.U. offer, by the  way, was for two staffed marts,  one each in Gibsons and  Sechelt. Considering six day a  week operation - and vacations  -it would be impossible to staff  two locations with only two  employees.)  The service mart concept was  a trial.  At the conclusion of the trial,  with the mart closed, local  residents have the same level of  services as was available prior to  the trial. We intend to pursue  other avenues of offering wider  service options to our Sunshine  Coast customers, and expect, in  time, that we will open local service agencies.

Hopefully our needs will  meet with your consideration  for this year's derby. Thank you  for your concern and attention  in our effort.  Captain Ted Cameron  DNVFD  Salmon Derby Chairman  Protect our community, yes.  That is of uppermost importance. But it will be by being  prepared for what is going to  happen next year and making  sure that things run efficiently  in our communities that we will  ensure the maximum benefit for  ourselves from this entire proceeding.  I see the economic and social  benefits to be considerable from  this opportunity of increased  tourism and the potential for  new residents and professional  services in our communities.  Life never did go backwards.  And I believe that the primary  consideration in all of this is  that these visitors be  transported through our communities efficiently and effectively, that they be treated with  respect and grace and shown the  best of what this area has to offer in terms of hospitality and  recreation. It is through this attitude that everyone here will  benefit in the long run.  It truly disappoints me to  think that an opportunity like  this, to meet and share our lives  with so many potentially interesting visitors, could be impeded by an attitude of complacency and political crossfire,  when an attitude of cooperation and enthusiasm can  create a better future for all of  us.  I encourage anyone with the  slightest creative idea regarding  their community or local  business to contact a member of  these ExpOasis committees to  see what can be done with those  ideas.  We can't do it without you,  and we'll be grateful for your  energies contributing to a more  successful summer for all of us  next year, and the foundation  for   sturdier   communities   to  meet the demands of the future.  Steve Hubert  Chairman  Business Initiative Committee  ExpOasis  Balanced  view  Editor:  Mr. Warn's predictable  defense of Christianity did not  extend to the indefensible status  of dominion bestowed upon  mankind by this ideology.  The myths of God-given  authority needs to be severely  challenged in all its various exploitative guises (i.e. the patriarchy, 'manifest destiny', ecological rape), if we are going to  entertain a harmonious and  balanced world view.  Laurel Sukkau  SKODA 120L  \ufffd\ufffdElect:  Editor:  Recently two American  citizens - friends of mine from  Washington and Arizona visited  me on the Sunshine Coast. They  were really impressed with the  scenic beauty, the friendliness  of the people, our\" new marina  and the beautiful Pacific in  which to fish.  But alas, when I took one of  them out to fish - no luck. Of  course others were having no  luck also. However, my  American friend who is an  authority on this wonderful  recreational activity feels we  have only ourselves to blame for  the lack of fish for our sportsmen.  According to my friend we  have not used the proper conservation methods to avoid this  crisis. Also he feels the waters  need to be replenished to ensure  an adequate supply for all.  Fishing authorities should  listen to this expert or else our  tourist trade will suffer - and as  you know we need the tourist  trade to help rebuild our  economy on the Sunshine  Coast.

Mark Gunther, member of  the Board of Directors of Canfor, and president of the pulp  division, was on the coast last  week to address a Town Hall  meeting on Thursday night (see  story) and the president of the  local, Steve Holland, presented  the membership with some grim  news from the company.  \"Gunther indicated to us that  they're just not interested in  job-sharing,\" said Holland in  coversation with the Coast  News. \"He said that they are  not yet finished laying people  off, arid because of that it  would make job sharing too  complex.  \"Also, Gunther said that the  projected downtime is probably  the minimum, amount of  downtime,\" Holland continued. \"They've planned on a  20 per cent downtime for 1986  but Canfor's projecting more.  That makes job-sharing virtually impossible, because there'd  be nothing left to share.\"  Holland said that at the  meeting members were presented with the costs of job-  sharing; to bring 30 people back  on line it would cost approximately $10,000 per person, per  year. No decisions were made,  but members were given the fact  papers to take home and  analyse so that, should a  referendum vote be needed in  the future, members would have  the facts on which to base a  decision.  \"The company is adamant in  its refusal to allow  job-sharing,\" Holland said.  \"The bottom line is costs. Gunther has said that if they have to  cut 100 jobs to save 400 then  they will, if they have to cut 200  jobs to save 300, they'll do that  too.  \"The company has had no  .restraints on how it spent its  money,\" Holland added.  \"When times were good they  spent nothing to stimulate  growth here. The new machine  sees no  news  will probably pull us out of this  (present bad time) but now  Canfor is saying that they  should have invested the money  in fine paper machinery, not  pulp.\"  When the machine was purchased the price of pulp on the  world market was high; because  of financial difficulties the  machine was put into storage;  now that it has been installed  the price of pulp has gone down  and there is a glut on the world  market.  \"Other companies have  diversified into newsprint, fine  paper, but Canfor is in pulp,  lumber and plywood and there's  no money in that,\" Holland explained.  \"There are lots of ways we  can help them (Canfor), but the  question is what can they do for  us?\" Holland said. \"They can  give us no guarantees for job  security. It makes it hard for us  to give concessions if they can't  give us anything in return.  \"It's going to take a lot more  than cuts in wages to cut costs;  wages only make up about 23  per cent of costs of  production,\" Holland added.  \"The next six months will tell  the tale. The new machine will  reduce costs by about 30 per  cent, and hopefully that will be  enough to pull us through.  \"I'm optimistic. We've had  hard times before and we got  through. We'll get through this  one loo.\"  McDowell  leaves  services  PHARMASAVE  'WIN 3 DAY PASSES TO EXPO '86  IT'S OUR  DAY  YOU COULD  WIN!  AN EXOTIC MALAYSIA  PLUS PRIZE PACKAGE  FOR TWO.

Silver  said the matter was personnel-  related.  At the same meeting, President Jane Sorko was given an  unanimous vote of confidence  by the board, but subsequently  Sorko resigned from the board,  \"for personal reasons.\" Two  other members of the board's  executive also resigned at the  same time.  \"Services are continuing,\"  said Silver, \"these events in no  way affect the services the  Society provides.  \"We have been in touch with  our lawyers and they have advised us that these are personnel  matters and as such are internal  and not be be brought before  the public.

BC  VON 2W0  \"We are opposed to any  changes in the by-law until our  concerns are met, those of  noise, pollution and the hours  of operation. There is nothing  in the proposed by-law to cover  that,\" said Mark Battersby,  representing the Tuwanek  Ratepayers' Association at the  September 26 Sunshine Coast  Regional District meeting where  a change to Bylaw 264 was up  for public hearing.  The change affects the  Jackson Brothers booming  ground at Tuwanek, a property  which has been the subject of  controversy for some time,'as  well as other areas zoned 1-3  (Industrial).  The by-law amendment carries with it a site specific  development permit which  would regulate the size and  location of the buildings, their  exterior finishing, landscaping  of the site and the quality and  size of signage at the site.  Although the permit does place  the owners of the booming  ground under an obligation to  comply, it does not in any way  regulate the ratepayers' concerns.  \"We want to stop the problem from becoming worse',  Battersby continued. \"If this  is passed, it opens the door to  more changes. We have learned  only too well that once the door  is open it is virtually impossible  to close the bloody thing.\"  One after the other, 15  members of the association and  other concerned citizens rose to  their feet and said simply, \"I  concur\", indicating their agreement with the statement Bat  tersby had read to the hearing.  A decision should be reached  by October 24 according to  Chairman of the planning committee, Director Brett  McGillivray.  The ratepayers were also on  hand for discussion concerning  the proposal by Sunfor Logging  to install a booming ground in a  bay close to the existing Jackson  Brothers' grounds.  Director Jon McRae announced that a representative  from the water rights branch of  lands, parks and housing would  be on the Coast on Tuesday to  make an inspection of the site  and to work with the SCRD  staff to see if there are any  violations of existing regulations  and to assess the problems.  McRae also said that during  the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference in Vancouver he had approached both the minister of  forestry and of lands, parks and  housing to make them aware of  the problem and the residents'  objections. He said that he was  planning on a meeting with the  two ministries and the SCRD.  Chairman of SCRD, Jim  Gurney suggested a spokesperson from the association be on  hand to represent the residents'  views, and Mark Battersby was  asked to fill that role.  As to a meeting with Bill  Davis, one of the owners of  Sunfor, McRae said that he  thought the meeting was to be  arranged by one of the  ratepayers, although Battersby  said he had been under the impression McRae had undertaken  to make the arrangements.  Pender Golf Course  under SCRD scrutiny  \"We keep turning over stones  and finding white wiggly  things,\" said Lyle Forbes, addressing the regional district  board on Thursday last, on the  subject of the Pender Harbour  Golf Course.  Forbes alleges that the golf  course society has failed to comply with several parts of a  sublicence occupation agreement from the Sunshine Coast  Regional District (SCRD),  dated August 18, has violated  many parts of federal fisheries,  provincial'fisheries and provincial water acts, as well as most  parts of a provincial ministry of  envirnoment water management  approval, dated May 8, 1985,  and all parts of a provincial  ministry of forests licence to  cut, dated September 1, 1984.  Answers to Forbes' complaints, made previously to the  board in a letter dated July 9,  have taken some two months to  be received, said Forbes.  Although most of those approached said that the society  had followed guidelines, Forbes  alleges that privately some of  those involved expressed concern at what has happened at  the site.  One example Forbes cited  was that work on the creek supposed to have been done between July 15 and September 1,  was in fact completed by July 6,  well outside the guidelines.  Private , memberships*  specifically denied in the August  18 sublicence with the SCRD',  have been sold, said Forbes,  and logs which were taken from  the site should have been sold  and the money accrued to the  SCRD, he alleges.  The board, faced with these  allegations, has called upon the  staff to make a full investigation.

Conchita Harding found the  jbrupt refusal of our telephone  perators to try to make calls to  exico   very   hard   to   take  though understandable.  \"When you want to know if  ur parents and  family are  fe, it is hard to have to wait,\"  e said. \"But then after a week  y call went through with no  jelay and I was so relieved to  [ear my mother's voice and  ar their town had escaped  pvere damage and with no loss  f life.\"  Warn received a  essage by telephone from  attle from someone who had  st arrived there by Air Mex-  o.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"The message was from my  i jjJaughter-in-law, Anna, and the  ^person on the phone just said  mat everything was all right,\"  said Joan.  fC \"I had been very anxious for^  Iter welfare and for our three  grandchildren's safety because  they live in Mexico City.

All this adds so  much breadth to the museum  with its mementos of early white  settlement here that Les Peterson, retired Elphinstone  teacher, spent years of devoted  enthusiasm collecting.  \"The number of visitors signing our book this summer was  about half on the average of any  other year - about 15 a \"day this  year.\" said Marilyn. \"Attendance fell off in August this  year.  \"We had four students as  summer assistants for eight  weeks - less time than last year.  Their pay came from a federal  provincial grant,\" said Marilyn.

SHORNCLIFFE AUXILIARY  AT the Shorncliffe Auxiliary  meeting last week Frances Fleming gave a rundown on the  history of the group since April  1982 up to now.  She noted that the members  and the community can be very  proud of what they have achieved in that time.  By the time this is read they  will have had their \"Getting to  Know You\" tea for residents  members   of  and     board  and    auxiliary  Shorncliffe  members.

Restructuring  in abeyance  The public meeting on Sechelt Restructuring which was  previously scheduled for Tuesday, October 8 at the Sechlet  Senior Citizens' Association has been POSTPONED. The  Restructuring Committee met recently with Minister of  Municipal Affairs Bill Ritchie at the UBCM convention, and  made four proposals regarding matters of planning, land base  and highways which committee members hope would apply  should restructuring occur. As the committee has not yet had  a reply from the minister, it is felt that the public meeting  should be postponed until a response is received and can be  passed along to the residents affected.  Foster parenting  is rewarding  cup of tea.

A GOOD SHOW  Nikki Weber presented a  delightful evening of entertainment last Saturday with proceeds going to,the new seniors  hall fund. Theme was \"A Night  to Remember\" and was a pot-  pourrri of favourite songs old  and new. Space does not permit.  mentioning the names of all  who contributed to the show,  but I just have to mention the  delightful duet rendition of  Sympathy by Walter James and  Pat Miller.  The ever faithful Connie  Wilson did a marathon job of  accompanying all the artists,  which was no easy task.  The next show, which will  feature the Halfmoon Hams  and the Sixty Niners will be on  Saturday, October 26 in the  Seniors' Hall and tickets will  soon be available for this one.  Watch out for a few surprises in  this evening of fun and music.  A SILVER WEDDING  Congratulations go out from  all of us to Donna and Art  Perry who will be celebrating  their 25th wedding anniversary  on October 8. May they have  another 25 years of happiness  together.  A very special commitment  has been made by a member of  our community. Miss Sandra  Wrightman of Granthams Landing, B.C., has become a foster  parent. Through Foster Parents  Plan of Canada she has  'adopted' little Leidy of Columbia. Miss Wrightman's small  monthly contribution brings  help to the Foster Child, her  family and community.  The objective is not  dependency, but to help the  family become independent and  self-supporting, through \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd programs of medical and dental  care, vocational training, and  counselling by social workers.  All programs are adapted to the  needs of the people, and tend to  be concentrated in rural areas  where the whole community can  benefit through the provision of  wells, schools, and much more.  Education is stressed, and all  school-age members of foster  families are encouraged to attend school. Foster parents arc  advised annually of the family's  progress, and a regular exchange of letters builds a warm  and meaningful relationship.

FRIDAY OCT. 4  BELLA BEACH MOTEL  SECHELT  CUP AND BRING THIS AP  WITH YOU FOR A FREE  ROMANE RECORDING  VALUED AT H 2.50  $45 Per Session  ($35 For Seniors  and Students)  INCLUDES PRINTED  MATERIALS  REGISTER: 20 MINUTES  BEFORE SESSION  ff^^Hffl  YOU HAVE BEEN HYPNOTIZED  Have you ever placed your keys or your glasses  somewhere and two minutes later wondered  where you put them? Or, forgot where you just  parked your car? Then, you were in a hypnotic  trance.  Have you ever thought the door bell or phone  rang, but it didn't? Have you ever looked for  something that was 'staring you in the face', but  you didn't see It? Ever driven your car for miles  and wondered how you got there? These are a  few examples of common everyday hypnotic  trances everyone experiences. You have already  been hypnotized thousands of times.  Have you ever told yourself to awaken at a set  time in the morning and you did? Have you ever  said \"I'll hide this where NO ONE can find it\" and  you couldn't find it yourself? Have you ever said  \"I can't lose weight or I can't quit smoking.\" Then  you have given suggestion to yourself.  Have you ever forgotten a name that was on the  'tip of your tongue'? Where did the name go? In  the 'back' of your mind, your subconscious or inner mind. You can learn to make your subconscious work with and for you instead of against  you.  Romane's main concern is to have hypnosis accessible to everyone. There are. other hypnotists  who charge $80. to $150. for comparable services. His human-ness shows through when he  says: \"this ancient art should be shared with  everyone and used for the good of humankind  and the community.\"  Romane learned his skills by studying with  master hypnotists in New York, San Francisco,  Seattle and many other cities. His studies began  over 25 years ago. The key to Romane's success  in helping others lies in the fact Romane is \"a  man of action.\"  Although the sessions are helpful and fun, this is  NOT stage hypnosis. Therapeutic hypnosis is  nine times as powerful.  Romane is not scheduled to tour your area  again for some time. If you want help to lose  weight or quit smoking, be sure to come!  Registration begins 20 minutes before the  session.  1 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdM m.l^i.*ji'V'\ufffd\ufffd.w\"  l%r^MHVtP\ufffd\ufffdVW^>\"liHe\"Wf *\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 'H.'

The competition is Province-  wide and only three per cent of  those who apply recieve awards.  Janet is enrolled in first year  Arts at the University of Victoria with the intention of  becoming a teacher and Tina is  at U.B.C. a first year Engineering student.  Superintendent Denley  reported briefly on a pilot project \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd- initiated ' by Principals  David Stigant and George Allen ,  and Rod Breadner, Chairman  of the Professional Development Committee, and approved  by the Ministry of Education to  explore and implement a process for school growth, to be  known as \"The School Effectiveness Project\" The team  hopes to inspire and co-ordinate  energies directed towards ensuring that our schools are effectively meeting the needs of  young people in the 1980's and  beyond.  A grant of $1500 has been  received from the ministry for  this project.  According to Anton Hen-  drik, Maintenance Supervisor  some $750,000.will be needed  for the repair of school roofs in  this district, not all of which will  be approved in one year. Sechelt  Parents Committee made sure  the board was aware of the immediate needs of the elementary  school in a letter describing  graphically {he soggy carpets,  the rows of gabage cans and the  black plastic needed to contain  the leaks during the early  September rains.  Trustees agreed to request  immediate approval of the  minister to borrow $78,000  from the amount requested for  maintenance this year to reroof  the centre building at Sechelt  Elementary.  Chairman Edmonds appointed an Ad Hoc Committee  to prepare ah agenda for the  visit of the Minister of Education expected on October 15.  Following a report from  Trustee Mewhort from the Pro-  D Committee, (the Professional  Development Committee consists df three teachers, two  trustees and Assistant  Superintendent John  Nicholson) there was much  discussion about how to  organise and fund a district-  wide workshop on child abuse.  The discussion revolved around  whether or not it was possible to  get such a project organised  with top notch speakers by  November 29.  Following several abortive  motions and amendments the  problem was solved by a motion  put forward by Trustee Muryn  that such a workshop he held at  the earliest possible date, funded by Continuing Education  and organised by the Pro-D  Committee.  The non-shareable capital  budget was approved including  $11,000 for a new pick-up truck  for the maintenance department, and $46,000 to continue  the process of making more  compute^ time available to  students.

Fuller questioned the amount of  money being spent on computers, and wanted to know if  any objective assessment had  been made of their value  especially at the elementary  level. \"Are they doing what  they are supposed to do?\" she  asked. \"Are they improving the  children's levels of achievement?\"  In reply superintendent  Denley said that no such study  has been done but quoted the  Lets Talk About Schools report  of the government which emphasized the need to make more  computers available to children.

Those interested in astronomy who  would like to form a club are encouraged to call Neil at 886-8356;  he also plans to have regular showings of the comet as it nears the  earth. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdDianne Evans photo  Campsite opposed  in Area F  \"I'm for tourism and I'm for  a campsite, but not in the middle of a residential area,\" said  Bill Oakenfull, seemingly summing up the majority opinion at  last Wednesday's Public Hearing in Area F to consider rezoning 34 acres presently in the  Agricultural Land Reserve to  allow the development of a  private campsite.  The 34 acre site is mostly surrounded by other ARL lands,  and all properties to the north,  south and west are acreages. To  the east (towards the water) are  smaller lots, '4 acre or less.  Owner of the property,  Redge Hillman, told the hearing  that when he bought the property it was in a regional zone  which allowed campsites. Since  the introduction of new zoning  Bylaw 264 last March, however,  the land is now zoned RU 3,  which does not allow such a use.  Hillman began clearing his property and developing his campsite shortly after purchasing it in  the hope of having the work  completed before the new zoning bylaw came into effect, but  was unsuccessful, and therefore  must now seek rezoning to RU 2  in order to proceed.  Hillman said the ALR has  agreed to release his land from  the ALR, and feels a campground would be a suitable use  for the property.  The campground would contain 60 full hook-up RV sites  and 60 tent sites with communal  water and washroom facilities,  explained Hillman. Eventually  he would hope to develop a  \"retreat\", with buildings where  groups could stay, but that is  for the future. No mobile  homes would be allowed, and  drinking, drugs and coarse  language would be prohibited,  with a sign to such effect at the  entrance.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  \"But where does your right  to restrict start and their civil  liberties end?\" queried one resident opposed to the plan.  \"This would be a family  campground,\" said Hillman.  \"My wife and 1 would be living  on the site.\" He has planned a  50 foot 'buffer zone' around the  edges of the property to ensure  the privacy of his neighbours.  SCRD Planner Geoff Powers  read out several letters from  residents whose property was  adjacent to the campsite property, and who expressed strong  support for the idea.  \"The land is not suitable for  a farm,\" wrote Mr. Sam  Hauka, \"and that's an ideal  area for a campsite. Small  businesses like this should be  encouraged....\"  Others who spoke in favour  refuted objections based on  potential rowdiness and noise  problems.  \"My family stays only in  private campsites when we  travel because we find them  quiet and safe,\" said Mrs.  Patricia Cook.  \"There doesn't seem to have  been any camplaints about Bonniebrook or Wilson Creek Campgrounds,\" concurred David  Hunter.  Concerns raised centred  mostly around perceived traffic  and sewage disposal problems,  in addition to questions on the  ability to police the site as proposed.  Hillman noted that the  Department of Highways has  already requested that he move  the entry to the site further  down Reed Road past Stewart  to improve visibility and to have  traffic entering the road farther  away from the major dip caused  by Gibsons Creek.  Concerns regarding inadequate soil drainage and leaching  from septic fields into nearby  wells were mentioned. However  Planner Powers noted that such  controls were under the jurisdiction of the Coast Garibaldi  Health Unit and the Pollution  Control Branch.  \"If the ground isn't good for  120 campsites but fine for 90,  that's all their permit will  allow,\" he stated. In the requested rezoning the SCRD is  looking at four units per acre as  a maximum. .  Several speakers noted the  desperate need for such  facilities in the area and the  economic help to other local  businesses and the community  in general of having visitors stay  and shop.  \"Recreational areas should  be out in the wilderness,\"  replied Doreen MacAdam.  \"Residential area progress  would be impeded by having a  campground so close in.\"  Baby clinics schedule  Baby clinics will be held in  Gibsons from 1:15 to.3:30 p.m.  on October 1,8,15,22 and 29.

W^^^^^^^^^WS^^^s  bv Peter Trower  Now, however, problems  began to develop among the  shareholders themselves. For  some time, Hodgson and his  two original partners had not  been seeing.eye to eye on things.  \"1 didn't like the way they  wanted to do business,\"  Hodgson says. \"They were trying to push the company in certain directions that both Deiter  and I were dead against.\"  The problem was that LaRue  and his wife, Tammy, between  them, owned a very large block  of shares. This, combined with  Kim Sweet's holdings, gave  them effective control of the  company in voting situations. It  was a Mexican stand-off that  was making tempers edgy and it  was doing the Chalice Mining  Company no good whatsoever.  Hodgson and Shindelhauer  talked things over with Peter  Kontny on his next visit. It was  decided to bring in a new partner, Michael Murgatoyd, a  Chartered Accountant who, for  some time, had been doing the  company's books. The entrance  of Murgatoyd, shifted the  power to their side and effectively broke the deadlock.  Realizing they had been  outsmarted, LaRue and his wife  agreed to sell out to Peter Kontny. Kim Sweet resigned shortly  after. This made Kontny the  major and controlling shareholder with 55.68 per cent of the  total shares.  The Chalice Company was  now reorganized. Dieter  Shindelhauer became President  and Director; Michael Murgatoyd, Chairman of the Board  and Director; Steve Hodgson,  Vice President, Head of Explorations and Director; Joseph  N. Lyons, Secretary-Treasurer;  Peter Kontny, Director.  Kontny, despite his controlling interest, remains a slightly  mysterious background figure,  taking care of his other business  ventures and letting his  associates run this company.  (The ranks of the Chalice  Directoral Board were recently  expanded to include Consulting  Mining Engineer, Tilmer M.  Waterland who was Superinten-  dant of Britannia Mines for  many years. Waterland heard  about the Chalice operation,  liked the potential and offered  to buy in. He brings a wealth of  invaluable expertise to the company.)  Positive showings on the  Chalice property continued to.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdaccumulate. It was now time to  commence diamond drilling but  the original $100,000 was  almost exhausted. More money  had to,be.raised and to achieve  this,    the   Chalice   Company  decided to go public. On April  4, 1984, 500,000 common  shares were placed for sale on  the Vancouver Stock Market.  The stock issue was underwritten by Wolverton and Company  of Vancouver and if has been  holding firm at between $1 and  $1.20 ever since.  The capital generated by  stock sales enabled Hodgson  and his field crews to commence  diamond drilling at two of the  most promising sites. This was  the acid test - the proof of the  ' pudding. The core samples  would provide tangible proof of  what apparently lay beneath the  tangled underbrush of the Egmont claims.  The instruments had not lied.  The gold content of the samples  ranged from less than an ounce  of gold per ton to an extremely  high 8.80 ounces. In addition to  the gold, the core samples yielded small quantities of two  previously-unknown tellurides  that don't even have names.  This rare material is presently  being examined by the Federal  Government's CanMet laboratories in Ottawa. \"I want to call  one of them \"Hoserite\",\"  Hodgson jokes.  When 1 interviewed Hodgson  and Shindelhauer recently at the  company's main offices on  Georgia Street in Vancouver,  they were both full of justified  optimism for the future of the  Chalice Mining Company. A recent move by the busy Peter  Kontny has served to insure the  firm's stability.  For some years, the astute  West German magnate had  been buying up property near  Palm Springs, California. He  has gone into partnership with a  local contractor to build 1,980  condominium units, 18 golf  courses and 30 tennis courts on  the land he owns. The project  will cost in the neighbourhood  of $180,000,000 to develop and  will eventually yield more than  twice that much. Kontny has  vended four per cent of this  operation to the Chalice Company, putting them in an enviably strong cash-flow position.  Steve Hodgson has come a  long way from the hippie ghet-  toes of the 60's to his present  stance on the threshold of  almost certain wealth. But the  one-time underground filmmaker is taking it in his stride  and one day at a time. Hodgson  hopes eventually to see an ore-  producing mine on the Sunshine-  Coast. \"Gold fever really does  get in your blood,\" he says with  a smile.  Hodgson has good cause to  smile. Things, all in all, look extremely promising for the  Chalice Mining Company.  Twilight Theatre  The thriller Fright Night ends  its run at the Twilight Theatre  this week on Tuesday, October  1.

The very extensive wine list includes cocktails of every type, a  wide range of reasonably priced  wines and a number of the Omega's  specially prepared drinks.  If there is a fault with the menu,  it is that the tremendous variety of  selection is almost overwhelming.  The Omega is noted locally for  their pizza and the entire back of  the menu is devoted to every  popular combination. Prices start at  $5.25 for a small cheese and tomato  and range up to $13.50 for a large  Omega Special.  There is an enticing choice of tasty appetizers ranging from $1.25 for  a simple pita bread to $4.25 for a  shrimp cocktail. My companion  and I decided to share an escargot at  $2.95.  A particulary interesting Greek  Mezedakia for four that includes  prawns, scallops and meat cooked  in Omega's special blend of herbs  and spices caught my eye and I've  CHINESE CUISINE  Seaviaw Gardens - 1556 Marine  Drive, Gibsons Landing - 886-9219.

A special selection is available for  children 12 and under that offers  pastas, steak or chicken at prices  starting at $2.95. My companion  ordered prawns on pita bread, the  day's special at $11.95 and chose the  soup of the day, a Mediterranean  combination of fish in a tomato  base.  1 decided to treat myself to the 8  ounce New York steak at $10.95  and a tossed green salad.  We both chose the potato Omega  style without knowing exactly what  it was. We weren't disappointed; it  was a delicious concoction I've  never seen any where else and I  won't ruin the surprise by.describing it further.  I tasted my companion's prawns  and pita bread and agreed it was excellent. My New York steak was  tender and I fully enjoyed it, but  found it slightly overcooked according to my idea of medium rare.  This has been a problem for me  when ordering steak and I should  have taken more time to explain to  the waitress just what I wanted.  For dessert, we shared one of the  best cheese cakes either of us have  had; a Kalhua flavoured treat at  $2.95.  Dinner lasted a comfortable two  hours. The feeling in the restaurant  is relaxing and we left with that  same satisfied feeling I remember  from previous visits.  One of the advantages of dining  at the Omega is that you can fit  your meal to your budget. Our total  bill for two was $35.35.

Saturday afternoon in sunny  Tswassen, Gibsons third division rugby club pounded their  opposition with authority. All  members should feel satisfied  that their fellow players were  there when needed with the 27-0  shellacking win over the  Tswassen club.  Set scrums were dominated  by the hometown blues with  hooker Bobby Dixon after stealing Tswassen's ball and consistently winning his own. Back  row surges were awesome, often  thrusting over the bewildered  opponents giving Gibsons three  line the much awaited ball  possession needed.  After a few early fumbles,  Gibsons three line began to  show the pizzazz they're so  capable of. Freeman Smith (yes  that's Smith), blew away twice  to score 8 points while Quin  Kelly twisted and turned for  another four. Niels Payne in only six or seven months of rugby  experience has excelled brilliantly in the wing slot. Payne set up  one of Smith's tries and also  scored one of his own on an  outside overlap play.  Scrum half Steve Almond  replacing absent Dave Macleod  (where are you Dave?), kicked  four converts and one field goal  for 11 points. Tswassen really  had little to offer outside of  frustration.  Their club appears stretched  out at present in the way of too  many teams and too few  players. Gibsons should take  this into consideration for  preparing for their next week's  match in Vancouver against the  Kats who usually field a strong  side at home.  Gibsons 4 division clubside  were shut out 12-0 by the Trojans. Club skipper Gary Gray  commented that the team lacked unity but felt in time with a  little work it'll come together.  The piggies are made up of a  large contingent of Chatelech  high school players who are  showing a lot of guts and  determination against nien  sometimes twice their age. In  time they'll be running circles  around   their  opponents.  \ufffd\ufffdp*TEt-   TTIT:* AA.irw.iTa \\.__k_fy_*** i-i.?... \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.  x4\ufffd\ufffd^t^y^.^  ^^i&_~*9,<_  Eight and nine year olds were out on the Gibsons Elementary field  on Saturday to play one of the earlier soccer games of the year.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdDianne Evans photo  Men's Hockey  coast s  TRACTOR  INDUSTRIAL &  FORESTRY EQUIPMENT  Coquitlam, B.C.  toll free 112-800-242-1988  Sales  Representatives  Archie Morrison  Res. 939-4230  Ian Davies  Res. 941-3245  TIDE TABLES  With the hockey season upon  us it's time to sharpen those  skates and test your legs.

T.M. Forsyth  District Highways Manager  GIBSONS RCMP  The owner of the Pepsi vending machine, located on the  government wharf in Gibsons,  is asked to contact the Gibsons  RCMP detachment about the  theft of cash from the machine.  The file reference is 85-2435 and  Constable Pedersen is handling  the case.  Another five gallon gas tank  has been stolen, this time from a  boat moored off shore in the  Granthams area. There are no  suspects and the investigation  continues.  SECHELT RCMP  On September 25 and 80cc,  1982 Honda motorcycle, red in  colour, was reported stolen  from Lynwood Court in west  Sechelt.  An   elderly  gentleman   was  discovered on the side of the  road on September 26 and at  first it was thought that he was  the victim of an assault.  However, it was found that  he had fallen off a ladder, and  had lain on the ground for a  long but undetermined time  before crawling to the edge of  the road where he was rescued.  His doctor thought that he may  have suffered a slight stroke and  that he may have lain undiscovered for up to 24 hours.  During a recent windsurfing  competition held on Vancouver  Island, one of the contestants'  found himself washed up at  Camp Olave in Wilson Creek.  The Sechelt detachment was.  asked to contact his club, the  Jericho Beach Sailing Centre, to  let them know his whereabouts,  so that a search would not be  undertaken.  Crimestoppers  To date seven TIPS have  been recieved on the Coast  Crime Stoppers line. The type  of calls have involved various  types of crime, trafficking  drugs, robbery, hit and run and  theft.  At this time two cash rewards  have been paid as results of the  TIPS.  Remember anonymity is  guaranteed. People who phone  in (886-TIPS) are given a  number. If their tip pays off,  they become eligible for a cash  award.  Anyone wishing to donate to  the Coast Crime Stoppers, serve  on the board, or contribute in  any way, please phone the coordinator, Russell Pederson,  Gibsons RCMP, 886-2245.  The next Crime Stoppers  meeting will be Wednesday, October 30, 1985, 7 p.m in Sechelt.  Tip number seven: you are  requested to contact crimestoppers, your reward has been approved.  by Peter Pollen  No military commander  worth his salt would think of  entering any campaign without  a predetermined strategy.  Yet from Victoria we are watching an inept government  fumbling its way through what  it perceives to be a war against  an adversary of conditions with  no plan of strategy whatsoever.  In the business community of  the western world there are a  number of schools of thought  on what should be done when  they are in an economic hurricane. One of these shcools,  and fortunately for all of us it's  a little-populated school,  teaches that slashing the budget  to the bone through the cutting  of staff is the only answer. Then  batten down the hatches and  ride out the storm, hoping all  the while, that the business does  not sink before the storm has  passed over.  A more successful way of  coping with this threat is to trim  the sails, make your business  ship water-tight arid take a new  course that will take you out of  danger.  Unfortunately for the people  of British Columbia,  the in  competency of our provincial  government has seen if off on  the first course, slashing the  public service and taking no action that will harm what it  perceives to be the projects that  will assure its re-election. No  thought has been given to  breathing new life into the most  seriously damaged areas. Just  keep the expensive and  glamourous mega-projects  afloat.  A glaring example of what  has been the inaction of the  government is its dealings with  the provincial mining industry.  Most mines in this province  are either closed or are just  barely managing to keep their  heads above water. The reason  is that two of the most important facets of their overhead,  which will decide whether they  live or die, are controlled by the  government. These are the supply of electricity and of water.  No attempt has been made by  the province to ease these two  burdens at a time when government should be nurturing, not  hindering the attempts of the  mining companies to survive.  But instead, in the closed-  minded approach to fighting the  recession by hiding it in shells,  the government has abandoned  our mining industry and ha\ufffd\ufffd  allowed other jurisdictions tc?  move into the world min^  market and take over what  should be our share, the share  we cannot have because we have  done nothing to encourage the  industry at a time when it needs  assistance. j  We're watching them beinj*  further damaged by excessive  taxation of their assets. i  i  j  Massive spending on megat-  projects such as Vancouver's  ALRT and Expo 86 may look  very exciting but they do little to  assist the over-all economy, j  While we wish Expo 86 well  and hope for its success, it mus^  not be forgotten that next Oc--  tober Expo will be over. ALRTj  costing massive amounts of  money to build, wilt be a  marvelous assist to Expo 86 and  an exciting development for our  Expo visitors but by next winter  it will be just one more debt!  ridden, money losing transij  system. \"] i  The incompetents in Victor^  have to be removed if we are tjo  leave our future generations  anything but an insurmountable  debt.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd AUTOMOTIVE \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  NEED TIRES?

Federation of Labour; and  David Fairey, economist with  the Trade Union Research  Bureau.  Mark Gunther was both  blunt and candid in explaining  Canfor's position regarding  Port Mellon.  \"We have to reduce our  costs,\" he said. \"That's a fact  of survival. We're over $100 per  tonne away from breaking even  even without interest payments.  We've been losing money for  four years. We can't guarantee  anybody that the mill is going to  survive at all. The jury is still  out on whether this mill can  operate cost-effectively and  competitively.  \"We've invested over $120  million in Howe Sound Pulp,  much of that in the last five  years,\" he continued. \"We had  to decide whether to just run the  old mill into the ground - we  had run out of bandaids - or  whether to give it one more  blood transfusion with a  rebuild, and aim for better  quality pulp at a lower cost. The  question is, is that enough to  make it profitable? Without a  cost-reduction, including layoffs, there's no chance at all.  \"Laying off employees is the  hardest thing to do,\" said Gunther. \"But if they're not needed,  and you can't pay them, you  have to in order for the business  to stay in business, and to  preserve the jobs of other  employees and to continue to be  an employer in the  community...The best support  we can give the community is to  continue to be here.\"  Gunther noted the oversup-  ply in the world of both of Canfor's products, lumber and  pulp, and the low pulp price.  \"Thirty-five per cent of the  world's pulp-producing capacity is now outside of the traditional North American and  Scandinavian sources,\" he said.  \"Brazil has trees which mature  five to eight times faster than  ours, and has much cheaper  production costs. The market  has learned to use all kinds of  different and cheaper pulps.  That's the competition today.  The customers won't beat a  path to our door. Just to be in  the market place we have to give  good quality and reliable  delivery at prices significantly  below our costs.  We need everybody's help to  SCTA  not  partisan  Continued from page 1  Some members of the committee said that they would reread the Solidarity report  because they had not recalled  attacks on tourism per se in it.  It was finally agreed that  Irene Lugsdin would work with  the association. \"We have to  work within that sector,\" said  Lugsdin, \"if I'm working with  them we'll be in a stronger position to make sure we have input.\"  Summing up Egan said:  \"Richard Tomkies used a sledge  hammer when he could have used a fly-swatter. We have to  give him a message. We know  his game and we are committed  to a non-political, non-partisan  role. That's the basis of working together.\"  adjust to what is a permanently  changed market for our products.\"  Art Gruntman criticized Canfor for waiting too long to  modernize.  \"The late 70's were highly  profitable years, and profits  could have been used to modernize then,\" Gruntman said.  \"There were also more jobs  around then, so those who  would have been laid off would  have had a better chance of getting another.  \"But Canfor took its money  and used it to acquire other  companies (eg. Versatile Trust,  recently sold). It didn't keep its  major industry in a competitive  position by modernizing.\"  In commenting on the current  employment situation at Port  Mellon, Gruntman argued that  \"Scheduled overtime should be  cut to the bone. It's ridiculous  for people to be laid off while  overtime is still planned.\" And  he suggested that \"We must  consider people working less  time, a shorter week,\" noting  that he \"did not say for the-  same pay.\"  Economist David Fairey was  straightforward. \"The extent of  the lay-offs demonstrates that  the community is at a greater  economic risk than was anticipated six months ago,\"  (when 30 rather than 98 lay-offs  were predicted), he said. \"We  should ask Canfor 'What about  the future?' All the cards should  be on the table. If Canfor has  no idea...then we can't rely on  them to secure our future.  Large companies have no  longterm commitment to a  community; they're there as  long as there is a profit in it.  \"We must take into our own  hands the planning and projection of our future,\" Fairey continued. \"The forces out there in  control of the situation are seeking the largest profit. When  years are good, assets are acquired; money is not returned to  the community. It's time to  start looking at what we can do  for ourselves.\"  In response, a resolution was  put    forward   by   audience  member Doris Fuller, and car-  fied   without   any   dissenting  vote, that \"...this meeting call  upon  the government of the  regional district to immediately  implement    programs    in  silvaeulture, as proposed in the  Vancouver Island Mayors' Plan  and as outlined in the People's  Economic Strategy, to put the  unemployed back to work and  at the same time ensure future  employment in the forest industry; and be it further resolved   that   the  Sunshine  Coast  Regional District seek funding  from the provincial and federal  governments and, as well, from  Canfor  and  other  companies  which mine our forests and who  share in the responsibility for a  continuous forest supply to  their employees and  shareholders, both present and  future; and be it further resolv-.  ed that the regional board and  the minister of forests be asked  to intervene in the removal of  logs from L&K Lumber and  that those logs be processed on  the Sunshine Coast.\"  NATIONAL  REAL ESTATE SERVICE  APPOINTMENT  rm  KEN CROSBY, President of Gibsons Realty Ltd., Congratulates LORRIE GIRARD on her appointment as  SALES MANAGER.
