Gurney told the board that  during a meeting with representatives from Powell River held  last month, they said that Aqua;  West had approached their  board for funding to produce a  video promoting aquaculture,  and Gurney cautioned the  board that.a further request for  funds may be received for this  project as well.  Area D Director Brett  McGillivray had some misgivings about more promotion of  aquaculture.  \"Do we need to promote  aquaculture at this point?  There's no money around to  promote the long overdue  research   that's   needed.   We  should be doing that at this,  time,, -not undertaking more!  promotion,\" he said. \"I'm not  prepared to support this request,  at this time.\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*'.

Gleeson  The federal Fisheries and  Oceans Minister, Tom Siddon,  met with a crowd of vigorous  questioners at the Sechelt  Seniors' Hall on February 23.  Mainly fishermen opened up  on the minister as concerns,  compliments and objections  shot straight from the floor.  And the questioning accelerated to the moment of Sid-  don's flight-forced exit.  The aquaculture industry was  staunchly defended by the  minister.  .Siddon was the guest of  Sechelt businessman Len  Van Egmond, who accompanied him on a visit to Kraft  iyiarifarms on Jervis Inlet  before arriving in Sechelt.  , '^Siddon spoke of the \"wonderful things coming together  here\" on the Sunshine Coast,  about which Van Egmond and  others, \"many others\", had  told him during his rainy afternoon stay on the Coast.  ..\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdHe called for more understanding toward aquaculture,  v$hich he said can help bring the  area year-round economic  stability, \"Change always brings an unsettling influence and  Pm sure you're feeling it. But  change is also an opportunity  that can bring prosperity and a  higher lifestyle to people who  don't otherwise have it.\"  y He said, \"We can build big  industries or make use of the  beautiful resources.\"  One fisherman spoke out  strongly against the newly  sprung industry, saying \"Norway and Scotland hadn't a  viable commercial fishery offshore but B.C. does: based on  the very species being, by the  grace of the department, privatized.\"  \"There's no lid on it at all,\"  he said. \"How do you justify it?  The Third World won't buy the  fish. Where will we go in the  short run?  \"As to decimated stocks,\" he  added, \"there's lots of fish out  there.\"  Siddon answered that the  technology, opportunity and  year-round supply of salmon  which aquaculture promises can  co-exist with commercial fishing.  \"And why send a salmon to  Japan to be made into sushi?\"  said the minister. \"Why not  make it here?\"  His department, he said,  \"must be dedicated to treating  people who live from the sea  with equity\" and \"to grow  more fish, add more value, sell  more fish.\"  Asked by Gordon Wilson  whether regulations would be  introduced to limit the density  and size of fishpens, Siddon  answered, \"No. But I appreciate your concern.\"  It is in the self-interest, he  said, of the cultivators \"to  make sure there is no major  catastrophe.\"  And such concerns are largely  a provincial matter* although  his department Iprovides some  research, \"regulatory framework and some, of the infrastructure.\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd..  Federal Fisheries is spendlirig  nearly $40 ipillipn in 1986 on  salmon enhancement. Siddon  said it's time the \"direct  beneficiaries\" contribute half  the sum as well - $20 million.  How the money will be collected, and from who specifically, is still undetermined. Tlie  minister included the provincial  governments with the commercial and sports fishermen as  beneficiaries.  One fisherman said fish processing companies should also  contribute, another that Fisheries government workers pay,  since \"they make good money  but have no risk.\"  Chief Stan Dixon told the  minister that seals and sea lions  Please turn to page 16  ^:^^ii^:arii^as \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd li^^^^Qn^.;;  slble fer^the small _utifelint of\"  the, Aqua West cheque.

Hewitt went  on to say that the provincial  government aims to provide the  best education possible within  the taxpayers' ability to pay.   \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Hewitt, who has been on the  job for only two weeks, was in  Pender Harbour to present a  grant of $150,000 to the Pender  Harbour Golf Course Society  from the Expo 86 Legacy Com  mittee, in his capacity as  minister responsible for the  Legacy Fund. Society President  Sam Walker was visibly moved  as he accepted the money with  the thanks of the Golf Course  membership.  \"This money,\" said Walker,  \"will enable the society to meet  its proposed July 1 opening of  the new 9 hole course.\"  Despite short notice of the  minister's visit, golf club  members, parents, teachers and  two secondary students came  out to hear Hewitt speak about  education and Expo 86. Hewitt  defended the restraint policies  of the government, saying that  the federal government is now  following the course,that the  Social Credit government initiated in 1983 in curbing expenditures to reduce the deficit.  \"There's no question that  we've been tough - not because  we want to be tough on education or health care, but because  we had to be,\" said Hewitt.  The minister hinted strongly  that school boards would be  given back the power to raise  funding beyond the levels in the  fiscal framework in the next session of the legislature. He spoke  of the $110 million \"Excellence  in Education\" fund, $15 million  of which is already earmarked  to cover non-salary inflation.  School boards must apply for  grants to cover such things as  computer-related   programmes  or special teacher training, and  Cabinet will approve those applications which promise the  best value.  When one speaker asked why  the $110 million was separate  from regular funding, saying it  \"looked like a bag of goodies\",  Hewitt replied, \"Yes, it is,\" but  assured the audience that the  decisions would not be political.  Hewitt spoke with greater enthusiasm of the tremendous opportunities that Expo 86 will  provide for our children. The  Expo project has been \"a catalyst to put people to work in the  construction industry,\" he  stated, and the province will  Please turn to page 4 Coast News, March 3,1986  Sad loss  Two great social democrats died last week: Tommy  Douglas peacefully in Canada and Olaf Palme brutally  assassinated in Sweden.  International tributes were instantaneous for two great  men.  . Strange, is it not, that their greatness should be beyond  dispute in death. Particularly is this true in Canada where  the fearmongers and exploiters keep us from following  such leaders in life.  Both men lived honoured lives, never losing hope that  justice could be attained through peaceful endeavour. We  are poorer by their loss, richer by their lives..  Pesticides  At first blush Ray Giza has a point. (See letters to the  editor, Page 11.) It is the taxpayer that has to bear the Cost  of pesticide appeals and perhaps we should all be good and  say nothing to make the life of the Forestry Service difficult.  But consider: the massive spraying of chemicals which  have to be proved to be harmful, rather than harmless,  goes on apace; the incidence of cancer increases - one in  two will die of the disease, we are told, by the end of the  century. There are alternatives whether Gordon Wilson's  goats or Conway-Brown's manual operation.  We want to know we are not being poisoned. We want  to have our money circulate here, where it is so desperately  needed.  __  It may be, Mr. Giza, that in our lifetime those who oppose the mass use of poisonous chemicals will be seen to  have been right on health grounds as they surely are right  already on economic grounds.

Saturday night the target was  obviously those middle - aged  denizens among us who once  upon a time had pretensions  about belonging to the 'flower  generation'. There was the doer  umentary movie of The; Band's  last concert and the film made  about Woodstock back in 1967.  I was working till near, ,10  o'clock and Woodstock. was  mqre.''.than..-half.,'way through  when rtumed on Channel 9 for  want of ykriything v?m6ref frfc.-  teresting to watch.   :       :kfy^  It was, as they used to say, a  time trip. There were the almost  forgotten names of groups that  were central at the time. Country Joe and the Fish, Sly and the  Family Stone, Ten Years After  -and there was the doomed  giant Jimi Hendrix making the  most powerful anti-war statement of all without saying a  word as he coaxed his guitar into a solo rendition of the Star  Spangled Banner complete with  explosions and gunfire 'at the  rocket's red glare'line.  There was shot after shot of  the enormous crowd; close-ups  of joints being rolled and hash  pipes being^constructed and  stunned head after .stunned  head agreeing that \"This is far  out,;man.\" :? '.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd?\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\"'' ...\".  There were shots of people  bathing in the nearby lake  because, like, nudity was cool,  man.  Again and again people on  the stage with microphones assured everyone that this was  beautiful and members of the  audience devoutly agreed.  There were interviews with  non-participants. One man, his  face livid; with fear and rage  repeated again .and again that  there were fifteen year old girls  sleeping in tents in the field for  God's sake. The man cleaning  the, chemical toilets smiled  tolerantly and said that he had  one spn at the concert and  another in a helicopter 'over the  DMZ in Vietnam right now'. A  third cheerful middle-aged man  said, \"They're here, I mean we  have to feed them.\"  Apart from the heartfelt opposition to the Vietnam war  from Hendrix and Country Joe  and the Fish, the whole thing  seemed sadly dated. Arlo Guthrie arrived obviously deeply impressed by the cosmic significance of the fact that the New  York freeway had had to be  closed.  That there could be a beautiful world released by the ingestion of the right pills or the inhalation of the right smoke was  the sad illusion that permeated  the event. That it was shared by  hundreds of thousands did not  lessen the pathos of it.  Twenty years later pills are  still being ingested, powder sniffed and smoke inhaled and the  world, as Houseman had it, 'is  the old world yet'.  I wondered about the participants as I watched what was  to prove the peak point of the  hippy era. I wondered if they  were watching on TV, older in a  world as steeped iii greed, fear,  and injustice as the one they  thought they were blowing away  in a cloud of smoke.  I had seen the movie long ago  and was always skeptical. I  stood, aged seven, in a crowd of  over 140,000 people in Glasgow  at a soccer match and I kQow  that crowds do not of themselves lend cosmic significance.  I had seen the Nuremberg  rallies on film and when Sly and  the Family Stone got hundreds'  of  thousands   to   raise  their.:  hands in the air at the cry  'Higher', I was uneasily remind-'  ed that first time, and again on..

Tyner  There are widely diverging  opinions on,the farming of captive fish.. There axe many who  say it wiH harm the wild fish, interfere with tourism and damage the aesthetics of the shore  line, while there are others who  seem to believe that it will provide jobs and bring prosperity  to the region.  The government has given its  approval and support but seemingly without adequate knowledge of its effect upon the environment, tourism, the market  or' the wild fish. The wild fish  are the base of one of British  Columbia's greatest labour intensive industries. Interference  with thie wild fish could jeopardise that industry as well as  sports fishing and tourism. The  jobs of the fishing industry,  sports fishing and tourism are  of considerable importance to  this province.  To get the opinion of the  commercial fisherman, I enquired of Frank Lee of Madeira  Park. Frank, a naturalist of  stature, although recently  retired, has been an active commercial fisherman since 1917. It  is his opinion that the superior  quality of the wild fish will prevent any serious threat to the  market by the captive fish.  However he is disturbed by-  reports of the possibility of .  disease spreading to the wild  fish and the possiblity of excessive use of wild fish eggs for  farm hatchery purposes.  Although these are a possible  and serious threat to the wild  fish, an existing menace is the  uncontrolled predator. The  commercial fishermen are controlled, but the seals, the dog  fish and the catching of immature fish on the high seas are uncontrolled. If the fisherman is to  i get his share all predators must  be controlled. It is futile to control the catch of the fishermen  and allow the other predators to  move unmolested.  It  seems  obvious  that  the  , government will permit the fish  farmers to control their predators and yet the authorities do  very little to control the  predators of the wild fish.  When it is considered that  each seal consumes an average  of 10 pounds of fish each day  and that he prefers coho, spring  salmon and ling cod, the seal, in  any numbers, is a serious threat  to the survival of the wild fish.  Before the white man - the  seal population was controlled  by the Native Indians and  natural predators such as the  black fish. In recent times the  seal population has been controlled by the fisheries department, fishermen and seal  hunters who received a bounty  as well as the pelts.  With   the  advance   of  the  Green Peace movement and its  political activity - all effort to  control the seal was abandoned  and the seal population allowed  to advance unchecked.  The seal population is increasing so rapidly, particularly  at the head of the inlets and the  estuary of the Fraser River, they  threaten the salmon runs. Con-  \/ \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd trol should be re-established and  the seal population maintained  at a level less dangerous to the  wild fish.  The dog fish is uncontrolled  although it is voracious in its  consumption of young salmon.  Up until recent times there  was a fishery which controlled  the dog fish. From 1917 to 1920  at Pender Harbour there was a  plant at Oilery Bay, adjacent to  Sakinaw Bay, where the livers  were rendered.  Later in the 1920's barges  were brought from a reduction  plant at Deep Bay to Pender  Harbour wherethey were loaded with dog fish. As much as  250 to 275 tons of dog fish were  taken at the end of the salmon  season providing a good source  of income for the fishermen.  During the war years dog fish  livers were a source of vitamins  and the taking of these fish  became very important to the  fishermen.  With the advent of synthetic  vitamins the demand for dog  fish fell away. Some effort was  made to revive the fishery by  preparing them as food fish for  Europe but this was discouraged by the mercury scare. Now,  with a new look at the mercury  content, a limited amount are  being taken for food fish. The  government should encourage  this development and take other  necessary steps to control the  dog fish.  It is understood that mona-  filament drift nets of unlimited  size and length are used by the  Japanese on the high seas to  catch immature salmon. The  government should urge that  the size and nature of such nets  be controlled and that all fishing  of salmon be limited to 100  miles off shore.  In addition to control of the  predators, greater effort should  be made to restore fish spawning  streams  to  their  natural  state. They should be cleared of  logging rubbish and the refuse  of civilization and returned to a  natural condition with a few  windfalls and large boulders to  hold back the water and provide  shelter for fish and eggs and  protect the coarse gravel of the  spawning beds. Coarse gravel  should be added where it has  been washed away.       .-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Controlling the predators and^  restoring the spawning streams\"  will create many jobs and go far  towards restoring the great runs^  of wild fish.  j  *_r  % Coast News, March 3,1986  Jiditor:  | We take great pleasure in an-  Jioucing the formation of Aira  West 87. We are a group of  businessmen and women and  private citizens of the Sunshine  Coast who wish to do our part  in promoting this beautiful area  ,- so more tourists will visit and  \\ help our economy.  .     We are in the initial stages of  \\formulating   a   multi-phased  plan to be implemented starting  next  year  and  continuing  in  ongoing years. In no way do we  wish   to  be  in   conflict   with  groups already existing and promoting the same aims, but we  feel that conditions on the Sunshine Coast require varied and  plentiful participation.  i Plans are well under-way for  dur exciting Phase 1 project due  to start in the late spring of 87  and call for the emplacement of  approximately 150,000 Canada  Geese at selected sites on the  Coast. Feasibility studies have  oeen done with very positive  results for such areas as the  Sfechelt Marsh and certain bays  ifi the proximity of Smugglers  Cove Marine Park. A more difficult location to select will be  one in the Gibsons area due to  the heavier residential population.  The availability of the birds  will be facilitated by the potential involvement of Agriculture  Canada who view the overabundance of geese in northern  Saskatchewan as a possible  threat to wheat farmers. \"The  birds don't serve a purpose\"  says a federal spokesman, \"they  just fly around aimlessly and all  their activity goes to waste.\"  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdA massive promotion is slated to begin in the fall of this  year ranging from Alaska to  California and as far east as the  niid U.S. Thousands of visitors  are expected to take advantage  of Aira West's program.  On arrival at the coast the  geese will have their wings clipped to ensure that they are permanently grounded. They will  then be injected with trichlor-  ethylene, a drug inducing  hyperactivity \"to enhance their  grpund^and' water, activity and-'  mobility. \"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd This will take place '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.  in a central location not yet  decided upon but close to the  ferry terminal at Langdale.  They will then be moved to  their designated locations and  kept in large pens where tourists  (and local residents) will have  the opportunity to shoot them.  If local by laws restrict the use  of firearms then clubs and  waders will be provided.  In the fine spirit and tradition  of the U-Catch-Em pens being  set up by Aqua West for this  summer we believe that the Sunshine Coast will be remembered  as a center for such activities  and that individuals and  families from all over will be  eager to pay the necessary fee to  participate in this sporting  event.  This will ensure that this project will not only pay for itself  but be a great boon to the local  economy.  Further developments concerning Aira West 87 plans will  be reported as they come to  reality.

Colleen & Family  Free trade not a panacea  Editor:  There has been a lot of  discussion and questions about  free trade lately. Free trade is  agreements between two countries which depend on the countries being on an equal footing.  Translated this means any benefits we as Canadians receive  (universal medicare, baby  bonus, etc.), or, we as British  Columbians receive (hospital insurance, homeowners grant,  etc.), must be equalized with  what is offered in the US, (none  of the above). Old age pension,  welfare and unemployment insurance would also have to be  equalized.  Which country do you think  would bend to meet the other?  If you sat down to eat with a  lion, do you think you would  get your fair share?  Two probable consequences  of free trade will be; the closing  of Canadian branch plants of  US businesses; and a Canadian  market flooded with cheaper  goods arriving from the US. To  these consequenses the Fraser  Institute saysf \"A policy of free  trade would mean the loss of  jobs for Canadians...\" and goes  on to add \"but this is of no  great concern because the main  losers would be protected factory owners and well-paid,  highly-unionized workers.\"  Donald McDonald, Chairman of the Royal Commission  of the Economy, had this to  say, \"It's another step in our  evolution...Canadians will have  to take this 'leap of faith'.\" Are  you prepared to quietly hold  Mulroney's hand, close your  eyes, and LEAP?  Would you like to know  more? Do you have some questions you'd like answers to?

Editor:  When Gordon Wilson moved  that the regional district enter  into preliminary negotiations  for the purchase of the five acre  parcel of land at Earls Cove it  was in response to a letter that I  wrote to him on January 21,  1986.  The ferry terminal at Earls  Cove is very small, actually it is  only a parking lot. There is also  a privately owned restaurant. A  small area adjacent to the terminal used to be open to the  public, however, a loading  ramp is being constructed there  now.

See story below. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJohn Burnslde photo  fMot much to fight about  '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd_. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.._..-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Pish zoning fireworks fizzle  %; \"It's a warm night,\" said one  r^nan on his way in to the public  :fhearing held by the Sunshine  '?Coast Regional District on the  proposed rezoning of the Wl  p_:one under By-law 264 which  .'.would exclude aquaculture  gfrom the zone.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"It will be warmer inside,\"  .responded his companion but in  %fact the expected confrontation  ^between residents opposed to  Sfish farming near residential  $areas and therefore in support  %pf the zoning change and fish  ^farmers and their supporters  Itended to fizzle out without  |much in the way of fireworks.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd& Both sides were out in force,  sure enough, and predictable  positions were taken. Lawyer  Donald Fairweather spoke on  behalf of Wood Bay residents in  favour of the zoning as did  Mark Battersby for the Tuwanek Ratepayers and Hans Penner  speaking as a Sunshine Coast  resident and others.  In favour of fish farms and  against the zoning, change were  Tom May, Henry Hall and  Robert Dungannon, who proposes another fish farm in the  Wood Bay vicinity. Dungannon's presentation included  statements'by a lawyer, an environmentalist and a man from  Alaska.  What took the starch out of  the meeting was the realization  that fish farming was prohibited  in almost all of the zones  covered by By-iaw 264 because  of the upland zoning adjacent  to the zoned water.  When the opposing sides  realized that the action being  taken by the regional board  would not affect Area A  (Pender Harbour and up) where  thf fish farms were and that in  effect most residential areas  covered by the by-law were  already protected by upland  zoning there didn't seem much  to fight about and everybody  went home.  '4.  At Chatelech  Accidents  upset Gower  residents  Residents of Gower Point  Road are upset by yet another  accident at the S bends on the  way to Bonniebrook.  . Despite numerous complaints  over the years no work has been  done on the corner to make it  safer, according to neighbours.  A petition has been circulated  in the area and by Friday of last  week more than 70 names had  been collected.  - According to the petition, 'In  the past few years at least 15  vehicles have ended up in the  adjacent ravine. Many of their  occupants have been hospitalized while others narrowly ex-  caped with their lives'.  Gibsons RCMP Officer, Milt  Wilhelms told the Coast News  that every time the weather is  bad, that is, snowy and icy, the  RCMP does get a lot of accident calls.  \"That's one of the worst  spots in our area,\" he said.  Wilhelms said that he  thought a couple of things  would help - one, a sign warning  of a dangerous, sharp curve,  slippery when frosty, and the  other a guardrail on the oncoming side of the road.   -  \"This would at least prevent  you from going down into the  ravine,\" he suggested.  Most local residents are  aware of the dangers of the corner but there are many visitors  to the area who are not. Even  locals are surprised by the black  ice that is frequently on the  curve, one resident told the  Coast News.  The residents hope that their  petition and loud complaints  will have some effect on the  Department of Highways and  lead to some action to rectify  the situation.  ..IV.    .MIIIIIIMIIHI  i v.   .y\/'S    _r    \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd     '  ;y A S , ^   '   i     ^      ' sf, f \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd._m_jl    _i_   _______  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd__*\ufffd\ufffd  y)y*' y \"*''f?y<'k ?\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"  _a_--_-__w__H___w  *  1  Diesel Engine Rebuilding  Industrial Parts  Hwy 101,  Madeira Park  883-2616  yiMWWHffiWpW^^  -\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'rnijiriTiitiil  ^_^_a-^s_gggggp__.

K Ed Bruns from the Workmen's Compensation Board  jvisited the school on February  pO and made further tests on the  air, not only in the mezzanine  rooms but in other rooms as  |well.  y The addition of more air to  Ihe rooms has not made any difference Mills explained, and the  pjroblem seems to involve circulation and possibly the ducting.  y A meeting with the Committee of the Staff at Chatelech was  held and it was recommended  that a consultant be engaged as  soon as possible to review the  problem and find a solution.  Vk Mills said that he had engaged Sterling Gordon, a company  specializing in air system problems. They have done preliminary investigation which  feveals that, according to the  Specifications, there should be  fro problem.  However, it is clear from  Bruns' testing that the problem  is serious. In one mezzanine  classroom the parts per million  reading of carbon dioxide was  538 but after an hour with a  class of students in the room the  reading rose to more than 11 (X)  parts per million.  Several higher readings were  obtained but the most valuable  results are those which show an  average reading. Three different  types of tests were done, according to Public Health Inspector  Bob Weston in conversation  with the Coast News.  Trustee Doris Fuller complained that the company Mills  has hired has long been consultant for the company which  built Chatelech and designed  the system that is causing so  much trouble.  \"Let's get someone unconnected in any way,\" she urged  the board.  Mary Belle Bulmer agreed,  saying that use of a company  which has had close associations  with the architects would detract from the study's credibility.  Trustee John Struthers opposed the motion to hire an  other firm.  \"I have trouble with damnation by association. That, an  unfair approach,\" he said,  speaking against the motion.  Mills said that, although any  work will entail capital costs,  the ministry would be ihore like?  ly to come across with the funding if a consultant has been  hired and makes such a recommendation.  Another consultant has now  5 been engaged and will be making a full study soon \"        -;  Hewitt visits  Continued from page I  reap $3 billion in economic activity generated by Expo.  Hewitt cited the transformation  of False Creek from a derelict  area to \"a very exciting place, a  21st century city within a city.\"  After Expo, when the buildings have been dismantled, the  land will be leased or sold by the  crown corporation for many  times more than the purchase  price.  The Expo Legacy Fund is  designed to help communities  outside the Lower Mainland  share in the economic benefits  of Expo. Grants have been  given to convention centres in  Langley, Victoria and Penticton, and now to the Pender  Harbour Golf Course.  Parents and teachers who  came to ask questions about  education were disappointed by  Hewitt's answers. He reminded  several speakers that he was  \"the new kid on the block\",  and would bring up their concerns with his ministry.  Government policy regarding  the handling of child abuse  cases was a topic raised by  several speakers. Hewitt replied  that he too was very concerned,  and was working on the problem seriously, although he did  wonder about the advisability  of judicial enquiry which might  cause more harm to the young  victims.

The  il2^assenger\/mini-bus was  presented to the Kiwanis Care  jjHpme last Saturday, March 1.  r The money to purchase the  ,mini-bus was contributed by the  community in just over ten  months of a campaign by the  rLadies' Auxiliary - a campaign  ihat was expected to take, at the  yery least, three years.  ^! Amy Blain, chairman of the  jmini-bus committee, and the  founder of the Auxiliary and its  first president, said that, besides  the fund-raising projects of the  Auxiliary, donations came from  all parts of the community.  I \"I sent out dozens of letters  outlining the purpose of our  fund drive to companies, businesses and organizations, as  well as individuals,\" said Amy,  \"and the response was instantaneous.\"  ; The Vancouver Foundation  had told the Auxiliary that the  Foundation would contribute  one third of the cost of the minibus as soon as the other two  thirds were raised locally.  i \"You can understand our  elation in turning this vehicle  over to the Kiwanis Care Home  so soon after we started the project,\" said Amy, \"and we thank  the community for the cash  donations which, along with the  fund-raising projects of the  Ladies Auxiliary, added up to  itiore than $20,000. Others gave  time and service at no cost;  South Coast Ford for instance,  for providing the vehicle at cost,  and Stephen Carey of Gibsons  Auto Body for space to do the  finishing touches.\"  This year's Auxiliary president, Marge Wheeler, said the  project was expected to take  several years.  \"But we didn't reckon with  Amy Blain's determination and  intense interest in the Care  Home. Amy, you know, started  the Auxiliary six years ago  almost to the day,\" said Marge,  \"and in those few years the  ladies have provided the Home  with some extras like the piano,  lawn furniture, a glucometer  and other items to add to the  comforts in the Home. Quite a  go-getting group, \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd this  auxiliary.\"  Harvie McCracken of South  Coast Ford, who procured the  mini-bus and arranged for the  modifications, said, \"A minibus is a special order from the  factory and then the special  equipment is added at Weco  Manufacturing in Kamloops - a  firm that outfits B.C. government ambulances.\"  Harvie added, .\"The bus conversion takes three weeks, and  Weco started as soon as the  vehicle reached them. The hydraulic lift for wheel chairs, and  raised roof for passenger convenience, and many safety features are all part of the special  equipment.  \"In fact,\" said Harvie, \"the  safety equipment has a list as  long as the alphabet - from  flares to scissors.\"  The administrator of the  Kiwanis Care Home, Hans  Grossman, said that staff  members will qualify as drivers.  \"And   already   contributions  have   come   in,\"   he   sajjdjj  \"towards the cost of the mihi-  bus upkeep.\"  LOCAL TALENT  Talented young ladies of put'  Sunshine Coast community  playeid an important part in the-  Honours Night of the Dance  Festival held last Monday iri the  Twilight Theatre.

Coffee prices have always been subject to weather conditions but hot  since Brazil's crop suffered major frost damage in 1975 have prices  increased so dramatically, according to industry analysts.  In a good year, Brazil can grow up to three times the coffee bean output  of Columbia, the world's second largest producer. But a severe drought  last fall, during two critical flowering stages, will cut Brazil's 1986 coffee  production in half.  To compound this situation, a devastating volcanic eruption in the  western coffee-growing region of Columbia has wiped out a substantial  portion of that country's coffee crop.  The effect of both these natural disasters on the coffee market has been  to increase prices. In Canada, the cost of raw coffee beans has doubled  since September 1985 and there is no telling when the market price will  stabilize.  We ask you to bear with us in these trying times and, hopefully,  decreases will follow in due course.

Afterward,  Mayor Diane Strom told the  Coast News that there was a  misunderstanding: only personnel matters were closed to the  public but council did not know  how long it would take to discuss them, she said.  The mayor and Alderman  Gerry Dixon, who is chairman  of finance, said that in addition  to discussing personnel, council  also approved in committee a  balanced budget for the town  -although as much as $45,000  will come out of surplus, which  is money left over at the end of  ithe budgetary year.  '; Dixon said council also looked at \"a list of names for the  EDO\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.I mean for the economic  strategy committee,\" which  council might form to undertake a Gibsons strategy.  Strom said the strategy is one  of the options available to the  town; a joint commission with  Sechelt and a solely regional  district strategy and commission  are also options.  Council will have a firmer  bearing on economic development, she said, after it meets  with Sechelt Council and provincial government administrator Martin Thomas tomorrow afternoon.  She said she does not foresee  that the strategy would cost the  town anything but that no people whose names are on  council's list will be contacted  until after Thomas's visit.

Education Month  by Ricki Moss  v*' March is Education Month  and time to celebrate the  achievements  of our  present  ^educational system and look at  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"-any areas that need improvement. The connotation of  education   is   often   that   of  ^children, adolescents and young  .\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd^adults in primary, secondary  fend post-secondary institutions  &nd many people assume that  jtheir 'education' is over when  jhey leave school.  I But learning is a life long process; as long as we are truly alive  we must learn to adapt to new  ideas and to changing economic  and social conditions.  There are lots of ways to  learn. As we watch a neighbour  fix a motor, or lend a hand with  a household repair, or help a  relative fill out an income tax  return, we are often learning.  Even watching TV, we can learn  something.  But how well does the present  system meet the needs of adults  in providing educational opportunities that respond to changing conditions? Next week,  we'll look at who benefits most  from' adult education and what  barriers exist that inhibit  democratic access to this public  resource.

I first began watching it on an old black and  white portable during the long  winter layoffs in the early '60's,  when I first returned to Gibsons. I was hooked from the  start.  The general aspect of Coronation Street in those early  years was riot terribly different  from today. Much of the action  still centred around the Rover's  Return, probably the most  famous of fictional English  pubs. It was operated in this  early period by Jack Walker  and his faintly snobbish wife  Annie, who no one ever had the  temerity to address by her first  name.  Through the doors of the  Rover's Return came all the  homey, pivotal characters of  those halcyon days: Albert  Tatlock, the testy old World  War I vet; formidable hair-  netted Ena Sharpies and her  fluttery friend, Minnie  Caldwell;   Tatlock's   nephew,  Ken Barlow, the Street's token  intellectual; bluff Len  Fairclough the plumber; lazy  Stan Ogden and his gossipy wife  Hilda with her eternal hair  curlers; earthy Elsie Tanner, the  Street's mature sex symbol, going from one man to the next;  Emily Bishop, Elsie's opposite,  a prim, mousy, unworldly woman. There were many other  characters who came and went,  but these were the principal  denizens of Coronation Street  and around them, most of the  stories revolved.  Encountering Coronation  Street for the first time, was\"  -and still is - a very pleasant  revelation. The characters are so  real it seems as though you have  always known them. In no time  at all, you begin picking up the  North Country speech patterns  and phrases: 'Anyroad',  'Skint', 'Scarpered', 'Lumbered', 'Flamin' Nora!'. And,  almost without realizing it, you  become caught up in the day to  day rhythm of their lives.  I can only dimly remember  the plotlines of those early  episodes. They generally cen  tred around one or more of the  aforementioned characters but  inevitably, the entire Street  would become involved. The  amorous Elsie Tanner was often  a catalyst. Elsie had a.teenage  son; Dennis, still staying at  home at this time. His muddle-  headed get-rich-quick schemes  provided the fuel for several  amusing stories.  The  problem,   for me,  in  following   Coronation   Street  during the early '60's, was its  afternoon time slot. I tuned in  religiously through the idle  winter months but lost contact  with the show during the logging season. Finally, for some  forgotten reason, the CBC stopped running, the program for] a  time and I lost touch with lit  altogether. ;  To be continued  Guess Who's  Coming  To Dinner?

Coast News, March 3,1986  One of the Donna Shugar Nicaragua photographs in Hugo Paiz  Presents on show at the Arts Centre, Sechelt until March 9.  ugar's photos  well regarded  by Chris Staples  For every scar on a wall  There's a hole in someone's  heart  Where a loved one's memory  lives  Bruce Cockburn said it in a  song. Donna Shugar is saying it  m a series of 26 black and white  photographs on display until  gMarch 9 at the Sunshine Coast  j|_rts Centre. The subject in both  ases is Nicaragua.  Both Cockburn and Shugar  pent enough time in that be-  eaguered little country to be  rofoundly affected by the  struggle of its people. Both  Same away with a desire to tell  Ipthers of what they had seen  pmd, through their respective  glnedia, to encourage the Nicara-  tguans to persevere.  '\ufffd\ufffd4 Looking at Shugar's photographs is not immediately uplifting. There are very few smiling  ffaces. The expressions are  prevalently of sadness,  tiredness, and perhaps, resignation to the ongoing revolutionary struggle. The intentional  Reduction of contrast and diffused quality of light in many of  She images subtly reinforces this  feeling.  % One is drawn to the eyes in  irhany of these photographs.  Often the whites of the eyes and  catchlights in the pupils are the  most outst^dinc highlights^oX.^  jme images, it is here that the  Spirit and determination of  these people becomes apparent.  \\ \"Nicaragua is probably  >vhere Cuba was 25 years ago,\"  JShugar told me when we spoke  at the opening of the exhibition.  2'They have a long way to go  and a hard fight ahead.\"  I Although she wished to de-  emphasize the political aspects  of the show;, one cannot view  ^hese photographs without  becoming aware of the artist's  political sympathies. The title of  the show, taken from a graffito  proclaiming that Hugo Paiz, a  ijevolutionary martyr, lives, is  tpe first indication.  | In photographic and artistic  terms, the most successful of  the images are the environmen-  tal portraits showing a person  <|r persons in the context of  their home or work, and those  i|i which a moderate telephoto  lins has been used to effectively  isolate subjects from their sur-  undings. The two or three  -frame head shots nicely off-  it the full-figure and group  snots.  The least successful are the  f&w which do not have a strong  f6cal point. I am thinking of  tftose in which several figures  seem to be rather randomly  positioned, leaving the viewer a  little unsure of what he or she is  supposed to be looking at and  what the photographer's intention was. These, however, constitute a small minority of the 26  images which, for the most  part, are well executed and  thoughtfully composed.  A few of these photographs  are not technically perfect. The  odd person is not quite in focus.  But these images are strong  enough, and compelling enough  that it doesn't matter. Better a  technically imperfect but interesting photograph than a  technically perfect image of  nothing in particular.  The photographs have been  labouriously printed on a hard  to get German paper called'  Agfa Portriga. This is an inherently warm toned fibre paper  upon which Ms Shugar has used  a combination of developers in  order to reduce the contrast and  soften the mood of her prints.  The quite prominent grain of  many of the images also enhances this softness.    .'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'.-..  These are photographs that a  viewer can spend some time  with. They can be appreciated  not only as very good photographs   and   eloquent   photo  journalism,   but   also   as _a  catalyst to provoke thought and  dialogue on the pressures being  _s.ex\ufffd\ufffdr_teri.o.nia_ti^  ican; country by  a paranoid   ,y  North American giant. \/  In the flash of this moment  You 're the best of what we are  Don't let them stop you now  Nicaragua.  Bruce Cockburn  from the song Nicaragua  Editor:  The article in last  week's  . Coast News, entitled Activist  against spraying needed, once  again brought to light the controversial issue of herbicide use.  The use of herbicides for  clearing areas identified for  replanting, and along hydro  power lines has become a standard practice despite considerable research that has  shown that continued use of  such chemicals will have a  serious effect on local environments.  I share the frustration expressed in last week's article,  most particularly because there  exists a better way of clearing  that not only removes the cost  of spraying, but also creates a  labour intensive industry that  could almost immediately create  local employment.  In 1976, I was asked to participate on a committee to look  at alternatives to herbicide use  on hydro lands. The alternative  that I came up with was the use  of grazing animals, specifically  goats, contained within a solar  powered electric fence. The suggestion was quite literally laughed out of the room.  Goats, I suggested, are well  suited to the terrain that is common to the areas that are in  question. Secondly, goats provide a commodity that is very  highly valued, namely kid  leather. The tanning of leather,  and thesmaking of leather goods  is a relatively labour intensive  industry and such goods are  retailed for a high price.  Beyond the leather industry,  such practice would provide  goat meat, known to the 2.5  million North Americans of  Spanish American, Greek, and  Jewish heritage that regularly  eat goat, as Chevon. The  mature does can be kept in feed-  Exception taken  ing stations, and used for milk  and cheese.  Goat milk not only provides a  substitute for those allergic to  cow's milk, but is easily canned  for both a North American and  Middle-Eastern market.  There seemed to be a ceatain  logic in the idea to me, but the  experts laughed, in fact the idea  seemed so humourous to the experts that I didn't get the chance  to tell them that such practice in  the. Southwestern US provides  over 200,000 goats slaughtered  and marketed annually under  federal meat inspection, has  created a leather industry worth  several millions of dollars,  employed people, and kept the  hydro lines clear.  So Bill and Iris Griffith, hang  in there. If we persist, perhaps  common sense and initiative  'will prevail after all.  Gordon Wilson  Liberal Candidate  MacKenzie Riding  & Mist.

The thrust of the peice  seems to be to encourage the use  of the pesticide-use appeal process as a means of causing additional expense to the applicant  and generally delaying and disrupting the project. It is true  that delays and costs associated  with the appeal process are considerable, however, it is the taxpayer that foots the bill.  Most appeals have been lost  in the past because most appellants appeal in general the  use of a given herbicide in the  environment. This is not why  the appeal process was legislated. The Pesticide Control Act  provides an avenue for appeal  for individuals who are con  cerned that a project would be  of some harm to them or their  interests in a specific situation.  Pesticide Use Permits have,  often been amended or cancelled where legitimate concerns are  presented. This Provincial Appeal Board does not have the  authority to overturn the use of  approved herbicides where they  are used safely in the prescribed  manner as provided in federal  legislation.  We would encourage the  local press not to promote a  misuse of the appeal process  which only serves to disrupt important silvicultural projects  -and all at the cost to the taxpayer.  R.M.

'Aquaculture zoning meeting  held on February 24 in Sechelt.  There's action aplenty at the Cedars Inn these days; new  owners, new decor and a new menu every day.  Lunch time is often hurried and prompt service a necessity,  yet fast food doesn't always appeal. My companion and I decided the Cedars would be worth a try, and we were pleasantly surprised.  There was a moderate crowd, the music wasn't too loud, and  the waitress had a ready smile and fairly whipped along with a  couple of glasses of chilled white wine to keep us contented while  we waited for our orders.  We were a little overwhelmed at the size of our portions when  they came, without delay; this is definitely the place to go if  you've got a hearty appetite.  My companion chose the stuffed veal. It came served on a  warm glass fish-shaped platter, accompanied by fresh asparagus  spears, carrots in a mild glaze, a perfect baked potato - no waxy  flesh or tough skins here - and a nice bunch of cold grapes. Stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese, the veal was covered with a very  adequate Hollandaise sauce which complemented the crispness  of the breadcrumbs in which it was lightly fried.  \"Totally unexpected elegant dining - beautiful presentation\"  is how my companion described her lunch, and I had to agree.  I went for the fish and chips - a perennial favourite. My fish  was flakey and fresh, the batter was crisp and not too thick, the  generous portion of French fries didn't have a hint of greasiness,  and the whole was served with a substantial bowl of tartar sauce  and two fresh lemon wedges. Scrumptious!  The menu includes soup, fresh each day, a splendid salad with  herb dressing and marinated artichoke hearts, a tomato and  cheese omelette, and the Cedars gourmet burger, so no matter  how well or how lightly you wish to dine, there's something  available to suit your taste.  The bill for both lunches and the wine was under $15 - easy on  the pocket-book if you fancy a couple of hours out of the fast  lane to enjoy a fresh and tasty meal.  The new owners, brothers Pat and Francis Switzer, were  friendly and glad to be of service. If this indicates the shape of  things to come, we'd like to say, welcome aboard!

Heli* Wanted  School District 46 invites applications . for tlie position of  Teacher Aide II for Sechelt  Elementary School. The position  is available April 7 - June 27,  1986. There is a possibility that  this need will continue into the  1986-87 school year in whole or  in part.  The role of this Special Needs  Kindergarten Aide would be to  assist the classroom teacher in  promoting   the   language   and  general readiness skills of certain  identified   children   in   the  classroom who appear at risk for  handling the Garde 1 programme.  This  person would have considerable independence in terms  of working one-to-one and in  small groups with the identified  children, although at all times  under the direct supervision and  guidance   of   the   classroom  teacher. The programme would  be to develop the expressive and  receptive language of the children  and would be done through a  variety of techniques. Some of  these would be: story reading  and story telling, drama, puppetry   and   games.   This   programme   would   parallel   the  classroom   kindergarten   curriculum but would be providing  the children with more opportunities to express themselves  and be active participants. The  person hired for this position  should have both training and experience in the areas of language  development and early childhood  education. It is anticipated that  many of the children involved in  this programme will be Native Indian  children,  consequently it  would be of value for this person  to also have some training and  experience in the area of working  with Native Indian children. The  position would involve a 6 hr. day  commitment, which would allow a  half hour period in both the morning and the afternoon for the  teacher and the aide to plan  strategies   and   programmes  together. Some \"on the job\"  training will be provided, as well  as the possibility for summer  courses.  Salary is $10.95\/hr.  Applications must be received by  Monday, March 10, 1986. Reply  to R.

Desta, Box 2331, Sechelt who correctly located the  * -Dudley Carter carving at the Arts Centre, Sechelt.  i-: :     I Sides are even in  I Davis Bay dispute  key and comfortable - a meeting  place for the community, where  people can come together and  socialize.\"  Archie Walker said he would  oppose it vigorously: \"And I  hope parents of children would  oppose it too, because of the  danger and hazard bf crossing  to the beach for fishing.\"  When a speaker who owns  property one lot away from the  Casa Martinez said he was in,  favour of the pub, the Sechelt  Legion Hall filled with applause.  He added that he might decide against building a house on  his lot if the pub is turned  down.  For the rest of the hearing,  each side had its delegates.  One opposed person said,  \"We do not want more liquor  in the area. Are we bringing excess of alchohol in for the sake  of one family and for how  many jobs?\"       V _--' ;  The argument of hazardous  traffic was turned around by  pub supporters, who said there  would be fewer drinkers from  the area using the highway than  there are currently.  When a; woman said the new  zoning would allow the property to become a junkyard, Jose  Martinez said there could be a  possible future use as a hotel or  motel.  Bill LeNeve returned to the  microphone to say, \"Now we  come to the real reason. Real  estate is a gambling business. I  am not about to fill someone  else's inside straight.\"  Supporters booed and the  hearing was over.  The district government  should decide by the end of  March whether one of the two,  or both, rezonings will pass.  Chairman Jim Gurney explained to the public that the results  of the hearing would not be  tabulated like a referendum but  would be weighed on the  strength and validity of arguments made, which would be  added to other considerations as  well.  k, Two new business, developments for the Davis Bay area  j'were both supported and opposed in about even numbers by  presidents who turned out at a  ^Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) public hearing  ^February 25.  f\ufffd\ufffd   The   two   zoning   changes  ;i$would both upzone commercial  ^properties from C3 to C5: one  ;> would allow a printing plant to  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbe built on the northwest corner  \ufffd\ufffdof Field Road and Highway 101  ;$_n Wilson Creek; the other is a  ^request by the owners of the  \ufffd\ufffdGasa Martinez in Davis Bay to  >allow the addition of a neighbourhood pub to their established restaurant.  g I The Field Road printing plant  Rezoning was spoken to briefly.  ?JThe proposed plant would be  Roused'\"'with offices in a 10,000  Square foot building. In its first  ~y&i, according to the owner's  -agent, it would employ14 people -! full-time and by its third  year,21 people full-time arid six  people part-time.  \/ Three speakers endorsed the  rezoning, saying it would mean  jobs and more capital investment on the Coast.  Three speakers also opposed  the rezoning. Bill Babcock said  a two storey building would  reduce people's views and Bill  LeNeve argued that there was  already suitable zoning for the  plant further up Field Road.  y Ed Cuylits opposed it as  \ufffd\ufffdVspot zoning\" incompatible  with an area considered prime  for tourism. He warned that the  restrictive covenant dis-allowing  other types of business on the  property, such as a pub, marina  or parking lot, could be lifted in  Jhe future.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdy The rezoning of the Casa  Martinez property to allow a  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdneighbourhood pub drew statements by almost 50 people, and  ihey were again evenly split in  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtheir positions.  * The pub, as described in the  application by the Martinezes,  Avould seat 65 and be kept \"low-  Against SCRD  Scantech lawyer Russell  Crum has advised the regional  board that, unless a favourable  reply is received by his client this  Thursday, March 6, the matter  in question which is the subdivision of Scantech's Wood Bay  property, will be taken to the  British Columbia Supreme  Court for an interpretation of  the contentious by-law.  Scantech's sub-division application has been turned down.  by the regional board because  the parcel sizes do not conform  to the requirements of By-law  103 which describes the minimum area permissible for a new  parcel of land.  This has come about because  the provincial Ministry of Environment has demanded a  restrictive covenant be placed  on the property which states  that no building be constructed  nor mobile home located within  7.5 metres of the natural boundary of the sea.  The regional district by-law is  interpreted to exclude this land  from the lot size and in so doing  renders the Scantech property  too small to divide in the present zoning.  The by-law has always been  interpreted in this fashion in the  past and the directors saw no  reason to reverse their policy in  this specific instance.  Crum argues the interpretation of what \"usable\" land is  and states that he believes the  area required in the restrictive  covenant by the ministry of environment should not be taken  off the parcel size.  The covenant is commonly  applied here on the Sunshine  Coast and the ministry is not  amenable to removing it in this  instance, Crum states.  The directors were upset at  Crum's letter.  \"The board is being subjected tb legal opinion in a coercive manner,\" Chairman Jim  Gurney said. \"This suggests  that if we mpve as we have done  in the past we will be opeirto  ''\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJeg^-Ut^'.'y.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'^.,-'?; '.x ;\"iv . \"V  Minister  grilled  Continued from page 1  are starting to be a real burden  to fishermen on the Coast, and  they are increasing:  \"You can see two or three  thousand on White Island in the  mornings, when the days are  beautiful. We have Indians go  out with 50 fathom nets and  two or three holes are in them in  a matter of hours.\"  He asked, \"Do I have the  right to bump them off or  not?\"  \"Maybe after a commission  reportl the department will  reinstate bounties,\" said the  minister, who was sympathetic:  \"But people decided we should  no longer kill seals. So what I  need is a mandate from the  public to change that. Ask Ray  Skelly why he doesn't get the  whole NDP caucus to support  the change. It would be very  helpful.\"  *38 MONTHS  OAC.

At this  sensitive stage airy delay occasioned by improper exercise of  Statutory Authority may well  result in a direct loss to my  client. If that occurs, we will  look to you for compensation.'  Area A Director Gordon  Wilson too exception to this  statement.  \"Look at the Pender Harbour Golf Course,\" he said,  \"they have had to undertake, at  enormous cost, highway construction to make highway access acceptable to the department of highways. Scantech on\"  the other hand has industrial  site access in a far worse area.  \"I don't see. where they have  had a lot of problems getting  things approved.\"  The directors agreed to have  their lawyers, Mackenzie  Lidstone, draw up a written  legal opinion on the matter, at  expense to the tax payer, to protect themselves from legal action.
