March 8,1980 Volume 34, Number 9 Garbage dump closing causes furore CLOSURE OF DISPOSAL SITE The Giisons Garbage Disposal sltc if being closed as of march i i960 All garbage hill ie disposed of at the Sechelt Disposal Site located 2 miles South on East Porpoise Bay Road Opposition continued to grow in Gibsons last week to the closing of the Gibsons Garbage Dump which took place on February 29. A movement spearheaded by the Gibsons and District Chamber seeks to have the closure of the Gibsons Dump reversed. In a letter to the Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Lorraine Goddard pointed out that the decision to close the Gibsons Dump had been made by the Regional Board before she was the Gibsons representative on that body. \"I have repeatedly expressed to the Board,\" wrote Mayor Goddard, \"grave concern as to the problems which I believe will inevitably follow the closure of the dump. The Board remains unconvinced that their decision is not in the best interests ofthe | Chamber of Commerce were region. The economics of maintaining four dumps to the discussed at the Regional standards now being demanded by the Pollution Control Branch are not, in their minds, feasible for a population of 12,300.\" Mayor Goddard said that Last year the Regional Board she was prepared to vote to sought a site in Eastern Roberts Gibsons area. Mayor Goddard urged in her letter to the Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce that as many individual letters as possible be forwarded to the Regional District in the hope that public demand would compel the Regional Board to change their position. Initial letters from the Board meeting held on Thursday, February 28, with Acting Chairman David Hunter of Area F in the chair. . This sign at the entrance to the Gibsons garbage dump indicates its closure as of March 1. The closure is causing much concern to the residents of the Village. reverse the decision as the Village's representative on the Regional Board. The Regional Board has been under constant pressure from the Pollution Control Board for almost five years to upgrade the standard of waste disposal on the Sunshine Coast. The Pollution Control Board has been particularly unhappy with the burning of refuse at all four of the local dumps, accepting the practice only under the pressure of the Forestry Department who see a potential fire hazard occurring with the refuse only being covered once a week at the dumps. Their standards call for the refuse to be buried three times a week to avoid the necessity of burning and the Regional Board felt that this was not possible at the region's four dumps at Pender Harbour, Halfmoon Bay, Sechelt and Gibsons. Creek with the intention of leaving in operation the Pender Harbour Dump and centralizing the rest of the region's refuse in the new site but strong opposition from Roberts Creek residents and difficulties encountered in finding a suitable site caused them to revert to the site in Sechelt which, despite possible difficulty of winter access, is a far better disposal site than the Gibsons site because of the nature of the soil, Sechelt's site being rich in gravel whereas the Gibsons site is largely clay which has caused the Pollution Control Board to fear possible future leaching. In an interview with the Coast News last week, Dick Derby who has been caretaker of all foru sites for the past five years, acknowledged the superiority of the Sechelt site but expressed some misgivings based on the fact that 42% of local refuse comes from the Hunter pointed out that the problems with local garbage disposal had been before the Regional Board for many years, that the increasing pressure from the Pollution Control Board to bring the disposal methods up to standard had been exhaustively reported in the local newspapers, and that it would cost $25,000 a year to keep the Gibsons Dump open to the satisfaction of the Pollution Control Board. Director Joe Harrison of Pender Harbour expressed understanding of the position of Gibsons people, a previous proposal to close the Pender Harbour Dump being reversed upon vigorous protestations of the residents of Pender Harbour. \"It does work a hardship on the business community,\" said Harrison. \"I think that an alternative could be found.\" Harrison was ruled out of order by Acting Chairman Hunter who again cited the length of time the matter had been debated at the Regional Board. Alternate Director Peggy Connors of Halfmoon Bay, which dump was also closed, expressed misgivings about the Regional Board's reversal of a previous decision to provide large containers at the site of the Halfmoon Bay and Gib- ions Dumps, particularly in the tourist season. It was moved by Alternate Director Connors and seconded by Director Harry Almond that the Public Utilities Committee reconsider the question of containers at their next meeting, said containers to be in use from April to September. On Sechelt Planning Henry Hall presses for action by Carl Chrismas A 100-page report on Parks and Trails has been put together by Alderman Henry Hall but is not quite ready for distribution to Council. In the meantime, Alderman Hall has come up with a dollar figure of $20,000 and he is hammering Alderman MacDonald and his Finance Committee to set aside the funds he requires to get his show on the road. A trail 16 feet wide and seven miles long! There seems to be a big fat surplus of something like $160,000 to $180,000, depending on whose point of view you are listening to. And Alderman Hall does not think that money Garbage Dump maintenance Dick Derby finishes shift One man who knows as much as anyone about the practicalities of waste disposal on the Sunshine Coast is Dick Derby of Pratt Road. Until the end of last month Derby had been in charge of all four Sunshine Coast Refuse Dumps since taking over the initial contract on October 1, 1974. Derby's bid on tender for the care of the now centralized dump in Sechelt was defeated recently and the Coast News interviewed him last week as he waited for the purchaser of his last piece of equipment to arrive to take delivery. Derby said that the dump site in Gibsons had almost reached the B level according to Pollution Control Board guidelines, which means that refuse would have to be covered three times a week. Derby pointed out that with the increasingly stringent Pol lution Control Board regulations, the costs of refuse disposal were climbing rapidly and that their strictures against the burning of refuse would mean a fourfold increase in the amount of garbage to be buried. \"The Pollution Control Board have been after us for five years to stop the burning,\" said Derby. \"The contract for the Pender Harbour and Sechelt dumps,\" said Derby,\" is almost as much as it cost to take care of all four dumps last year,\" He pointed out that he had been able to put six inches of soil over the top of the buried refuse but that the new standards called for six inches of soil to be overlaid on every push and when the whole reaches eight feet, it must be covered with two feet of soil. This meant, said Derby, that whereas he was using 5,000 yards of Mayor Lorraine Goddard of Gibsons signifies her approval of the protest against the dump closure by being first to enter her protest.

Local teenagers pioneer -\ufffd\ufffd A yard sale will be held at the home of Walt Nygren next to the Post Office in Gibsons on Saturday, March 8 with the proceeds to go towards sending three young Gibsons girls to various parts of the world on Teen Mission Work this summer. Naomi Nygren, Lise Plourde and Betty Wilson, all of Gibsons are the first local youngsters to be selected to take part in the work of Teen Missions International, an organization which in its ten years of life now has its young people in demand on virtually every continent. The program calls for the girls to attend Boot Camp at Merritt Island in Florida for a two week training period before taking up their summer's assignment.

Derby offered the opinion that the Regional Board's changeover had not gone far enough. He said that if there was a hired gatekeeper at the site, fridges and stoves could be separated and recycled along with car bodies, brush and lumber could be burnt. This, said Derby, would knock the amount of refuse to be buried down by 50% and the amount saved would more than pay the wages of the site caretaker. Derby said that he was surprised that the Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce considered they had not been forewarned about the closure of the garbage dump. He pointed to the Student Forum held last year where the problems of refuse disposal were thoroughly discussed and said that he himself had approached several merchants about operating the Gibsons Dump himself but had found no interest among them. Derby said that because of the volume of refuse from the Gibsons area, he felt that a site in east Roberts Creek would have been preferable and foresaw problems with the access road to the Sechelt Dump in winter time. \"They'll have to buy salt and keep it well salted,\" said Derby. should be lying there and not used. At a recent seminar in Vancouver, Alderman Hall questioned other municipal leaders and found that none of them had surpluses; Sechelt was the exception! Also, other municipaUties are receiving thousands in grants while Sechelt receives none. He asked for and received the go-ahead to apply to Victoria for funds to cover some of his profected program for Parks and Recreation. But he also wants funds set aside to assure him of an immediate start on his program so that he can take advantage of the Youth Employment program that is being funded by the Provincial Government and begins sometime in April. Alderman MacDonald views the so-called surplus in a different light, claiming that much of the account is in receivables and does not become cash until paid. The Village must maintain a cash flow position to be able to meet its obligations, and not put them in a positon of having to borrow, especially at today's interest rates. Alderman Hall proved that he does his homework by quoting facts and figures to his silent and sometimes spellbound listeners. Almost two hours of rhetoric went into making very strong points. A final motion on the subject was made by Alderman MacDonald to reduce expenditures by $50,000. The voting was two against, three in favor\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdcarried! Briefs, submissions, questions and comments were presented by Len Van Egmond, Ted Osborne and others regarding responsibilities of a developer in putting in sewers, drains, curbs, sidewalks and underground wiring. The cost, which would be added to each lot, would range from $8,000 to $14,000, depending on how far the Village is prepared to push the developer. It was pointed out that with no controls, development could wind up in a mishmash. With too stringent controls, cost of development could be so high no one would buy. Alderman Hall suggested that in any case, the sale value of surrounding property would float up to the levels of the newly developed lots. Mr. Van Egmond did not agree with this. He felt that people would simply buy in other areas where costs were not so high. The topic was vigorously debated with the result that it was agreed that the subject was a delicate one and would require more discussion and investigation before changes in the bylaws could be made. The results of a Joint Use Committee meeting held between two members of the S.C.R.D. and the Village were discussed. The committee requests up to $5,000 for a study of the proposed site by an #%:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd architect. It was agreed that an initial sum be spent to determine that the site was suitable for construction of a joint use facility before comitting funds to a building design. Alderman Hall suggested that this was an area where the services of a planner would be important and he asked what progress was being made to secure one. The committee was told that a Ken Smith of Smith and Associates in Vancouver had received 25 applications, and that six had been chosen for consideration. One of the six would be contacted for an interview within the next few Please turn to Page Ten.

Reporter\/Photographer Ian Corrance Advertising\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Allan Crane Fran Berger Copysetting\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Gerry Walker Where have the protesters been From a newspaperman's point of view Ihe sudden furore which has erupted over the closing ol the Gibsons Garbage Dump is, to say the least, somewhat surprising. It is, of course, easy to understand the concern of the Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce at the closing of Ihe dump. It is in fact a 30 mile round trip to the centralized location off Porpoise Buy and there is in fact some question about the access road to that dump in the winter time. Concern, then, is understandable and justifiable perhaps but where has it been all this time? The problems of refuse disposal on the Sunshine Coast have long been a standing joke at the Regional Board. Surely in the whole history of democratic government few issues could have been so endlessly and repctitiously debated. Regional Board after Regional Board wrestled with the problem. Just as directors seemed to be on the verge of a decision an election would intervene and the new directors would take some months to overcome their prejudices sufficiently to confront the problem reasonably and the debate could begin again. The problem was that the Pollution Control Branch for some five years was insisting that the Sunshine Coast bring its refuse disposal up to their standards but no one wanted any existing dump to close down and no one wanted any new garbage dump opened up in their vicinity, thank you very much. The garbage was being covered once a week and the Forestry insisted that a week's accumulation posed a serious fire hazard and that therefore refuse had to be control burned. The Pollution Control Board insisted for five years that the garbage burning had to stop, that the garbage would have to be covered more often to obviate the fire hazard. They were delicately implying that refuse permits could be withdrawn if their standards were not met. Last year the situation seemed to be approaching some sort of belated climax. Under the stewardship of George Gibb the Regional Board looked at alternate methods, principally incineration which was pollution free and might supply enough energy to heat the Sunnycrest Mall, the swimming pool, and the curling club. The students at Elphinstone held a first class community forum on the question of waste disposal. All of this was exhaustively reported and commented on in all three local newspapers. So many stories and editorials on garbage disposal were written that we used to joke about putting out a separate publication to be called Garbage News. Where, throughout all this, was the Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce? The possibility of the Gibsons Garbage Dump being closed has been under constant discussion for almost five years, not for any other reason than the Pollution Control Board was pressing for some rationalization ofthe situation on the Sunshine Coast. We are not suggesting that the present centralization in Sechelt is the only possibility. A land fill site in Roberts Creek would have made more geographical sense perhaps, but none was forthcoming and something had to be done. When it was suggested that Pender Harbour Dump be closed the Regional Board offices were filled with irate Pender residents who would have even further to travel to the centralized site. The Pender Harbour Dump is still open. Not one resident or businessman from Gibsons ever made an oral or written presentation. A suggestion was made that the Gibsons Dump could be operated privately, made to Gibsons businessmen. No interest was expressed. It is difficult, having watched George Gibb flounder alone as he tried to raise the local consciousness about the present and future problems of waste disposal, to avoid wishing that the Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce had been a little earlier in its expression of vital concern. Dick Derby will be missed While we are at it, let's make it clear that we cannot applaud the Regional Board's resolution of the garbage disposal problem. Specifically, we feel that a mistake was made in not re-hiring Dick Derby. Derby's bid was not the lowest, but then neither was that ofthe Sunshine Coast Disposal Services Ltd. and it was accepted in the interest of experience and continuity. It is the feeling here that the same sensible courtesy should have been extended to Dick Derby. He took over the initial contract when someone who had bid lower failed to fulfill it. He gave for more than five years excellent and dependable service. When asked by the Regional Board to continue to do the job after they changed the rules ofthe game in December and threw all the tenders out, he aimiably did so until they could get their act together. It says here that a man of his dependability and expertise would prove most valuable in this transition year and his absence may well be regretted before 1980 is done. *s ..from the files of the COAST NEWS ^e^j^nigniber^'heil ^ re FIVE YEARS AGO Sechelt Alderman Norm Watson announces that he has received approval from the National Second Century Fund to go ahead with a waterfowl refuge in the vicinity of Porpoise bay.

Peterson \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd:i#vrmm* Musings John Burnside I began last week, in view of my continuing support for losing teams in the worlds of politics and sports, an exercise in nostalgic self-restoration. Specifically I was hearkening back to my one brief season of athletic glory which was the more treasured because it was unexpected and never repeated. We left off the gripping narrative justat the point when the coach of our Macdonald Aggies team had taken me off the field after a collision with the opposition goalie in the first seconds of a November match had left me face down and sliding in a goalmouth lake of liquid, freezing mud and after my subsequent efforts on behalf of the team had tailed off to virtually nothing. At this point in the early season I had only just been made the centre forward and had but a taste of success at the position. It was a morose and miserable Burnside who shivered on the sidelines in some disgrace. Nor was my mental condition improved when the West Indian fellow who substituted for me promptly slapped the ball into the back of the net in a goalmouth scramble. At that point I had dashed into the dressing room changed my sodden shirt, polished up my muddied glasses and was looking hopefully at the coach for his sign to return to the fray. So pathetic had been my efforts after the nose dive in the mud that he studiously ignored me during the first half of the game and. with my substitute scoring, it appeared that my contribution was no longer required. The gods were kind, however, and just on half time the substitute went down with an injured knee and the coach indicated brusquely that 1 was expected to play in the second half. I did not know it then but my moment of glory was at hand. The second half did not begin auspiciously lor our team. Wc were up one to nothing but the play was all in our goal area for the first five minutes during which time half a dozen desperate corner kicks were conceded by our harried defenders. 1 waited near the halfway line, as was my designated task, hopeful that we could switch to the attack. Beside me was the centre half of the Loyola team and further out on either side were the deep backs. Apart from us everyone else was scrambling around in our goalmouth. My moment came when Dennis, a huge West Indian with the speed ofa deer, managed to got a desperate boot to the ball in our goalmouth and booted it high upfield towards me. The field was dryer in the middle and Dennis's clearing kick bounced high over our heads and in a flash I was after it. The defender was a trace slower on the turn and I was a step ahead of him with a clear path to the goal. It was still a long way off, however, and he was racing back as fast as he could and the deep backs were sprinting into the middle. All this I was only dimly aware of. Still on fire to redeem myself, 1 reached the ball, booted it goalwards and hared after it. Half a step behind I could hear the defender pounding after me and peripherally 1 could see the other defenders closing in. Again I booted the ball and sprinted in a frenzy goalwards. I suppose the goal looked like a thing of beauty from the sidelines. The whole matter concluded with the two backs, the goalkeeper and the pursuing centre half in a heap on the Loyola 18 yard line with the improbable figure of the bespectacled centre forward slipping the ball into the middle of the empty goal. From my perspective it was a matter simply of great good fortune. After I booted the ball the second time the goalkeeper charged out towards us. The backs, the goalkeeper, the centre half, the ball and yours truly were destined to come together at the edge of the penalty box at virtually the same moment. The back on my left caught me first and his well- directed shoulder sent me spinning to the right where I collided with the other back coming from that side. The second collison\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdremember I weighed only 135 pounds- sent me flying back to the right but with a magical mixture of opportunism and good fortune I trailed the ball with me and was suddenly alone in front of the goal with my adversaries strewn behind me. 1 stroked it home and turned only to be flattened in a second puddle by the exuberant Dennis who had run the length of the field by this time. My second immersion didn't faze me at all. The second goal of vivid memory won me the goal- scoring championship of the league. It was an undeserved honour in every possible way. The goal came in the last seconds of the last game with our team coasting with a 9-0 lead. The magical Frank Lieberman. who played beside mc and who often made scoring easy with the openings he created, was tied on goals with me going into the game. We both had scored two ofthe nine goals to that point when Frank began one of his dazzling runs upfield. He took on and beat at top speed most of the demoralized defenders and fired a great shot from the corner of the penalty area which beat the Please turn to Page Three. mmmimmmmmmmm Next please Always too eager for the future, we Pick up bad habits of expectancy.

Philip l.arkin Slings & Arrows >* George Matthews ?l Since the election, politicians east and west have been scurrying about in search of answers to the problem of western representation. Two Liberals from Manitoba (supposedly a western province), have been in B.C. studying the problem; the Conservative caucus has discussed it; the Liberal caucus has debated it; Ed Broadbent has commented on it and the Mayor of Vancouver claims to have solved it. Suggested solutions include everything from an experiment in proportional representation to western political independence. In fact, so many solutions have been recommended that one suspects that the problem will never be solved. Politicians are generally better known for suggesting ideas than carrying them out and it occurs to me that this crisis may provide the perfect opportunity to bring the skills of another occupational group into play. Through training and experience the teaching profession has developed a number of highly sophisticated strategies for handling these kinds of problems. If we had the foresight to turn the whole matter over to a group of educators the situation would be cleared up before we knew it. The first thing they would do is to call themselves a \"task force\", the term \"committee\" having fallen into disrepute. Next, they would \"brainstorm\" the problem. (Nobody has meetings anymore.) The \"brainstorm\" of course would \"generate a collection of potentially viable solutions based upon pre-determined criteria\" (which means a whole bunch of ideas would be written on the blackboard). At this point all the ideas would be scanned for syntactical integrity, edited for overlap. \"Q\" sorted and pilot tested in at least 15 randomly selected western communities. Then, each idea would be listed in random order and 1500 citizens would be asked to indicate in order of importance which ideas are good, net so good and lousy. At this stage, some difficulties may arise. Educators have been known to argue violently, for hours on end. as to whether this step should be called \"priorizing\" or \"prioritizing\", but if this issue can be resolved (probably using a method educators refer to as \"the consensus model\"), then they will have produced what they call an \"opinionnaire\". (No one calls them questionnaires anymore.) If you were unlucky enough to be one of the randomly chosen citizens to receive one of these documents it would probably look something like this: Western Representation Opinionnaire Dear Citizen, You are in the fortunate and enviable position of having been chosen to participate in a vital programme designed to produce a solution to the worrisome problem of the lack of a western representative in the government of Canada. By simply indicating your preferences among the following, scientifically developed suggestions, you will be doing your country a great service. Below, you will find listed ten (10) suggestions; read the list carefully and write the number one (1) beside the suggestion you prefer MOST. Next, read the list of remaining items and write the number two (2) beside the suggestion vou prefer NEXT MOST. Next, read the list again and write the number three (3) beside the suggestion you prefer THIRD MOST. Continue this process until you have written a number beside each item. Items designated nine(9)andten(10) will be items vou prefer LEAST MOST. In order to make sure that western Canada is represented in the ruling party, the government should: 1 A. Become a monarcy. B. Join the L'nited States. C. Encourage the western provinces to form their own country. D. Let Premier Bennett be spokesman. E. Have another election. F. Not worry about it. G. Be especially nice to people living west of Kenora. H. Practise reading and writing, do their homework and make sure their fingernails are clean. I. Declare war on Alberta. .1. Draw straws. In the space provided you are invited to recommend your one solution to this thorny problem . Thank you for your cooperation. Your completed opinionnaire will be picked up in the next few days by a member of the R.C.M.P. The results of this poll w ould of course answer all of our problems. The statistical analysis and written report would take so long that the whole furore would die down. (Remember how it took the teacher at least three months to mark your paragraph.) The government would then decide w hat it wanted to do anyway and everyone would believe democracy had been served. If after all that time nothing had been done, we could then threaten to keep the whole government in after school. Letters to the Editor Deep Coast News, March 4,1980 concern Protest on Gibsons Dump closing writing with deep Editor; May I add my small voice of protest in respect ofthe closure of Gibsons Dump. Granted, it unust be an arduous and sometimes thankless task for any village or town council to decide upon how to save and invest the communities dollars wisely and to the tax payers' satisfaction. However, there comes a time when the initial saving credits that make the books look healthy,eventually show up in the debit column with a vengence, pointing out painfully that the 'cure' for some ailments prove more expensive than the prevention. The Gibsons Dump unfortunately, is the liveliest acreage in the whole ofthe Village, with a continuous thread of vehicles passing through its gates each day, disgorging everything from defunct cars to surplus household garbage over and above that allowed for weekly pick up. By closing the Dump, and providing no alternate local site, it is naive to assume this surplus garbage will vanish into thin air or find its way to the Porpoise Bay Dump. On the contrary, this closure will undoubtedly sow the seeds for the creation of the 'Midnight Dumper', as only a minority of solid citizens will be willing to spend their Sunday afternoons tramping to Porpoise Bay, and it is unreasonable for our elected peers to expect it. No, after all people are human, and even those conservation-spirited mortals among them, may on occasion be tempted to operate under the guise of the 'Midnight Dumper\". During winter time, after a snowfall, the road to Porpoise Bay Dump is impassable, except for those vehicles e- quipped with four wheel drive. What happens to all the surplus garbage then? Another point of dissention comes via our commercial fishing fleet and tug boats, what do these operators do with their old oil, and miscellaneous garbage accumulated whilst at sea. Do they drive up to Sechelt immediately upon docking at the wharf, or do they dump the lot, oil and all, into the chuck? The answer is obvious, and the results catastrophic. During the fire season, can our excellent Fire Department cope adequately with the added burden of out-of-control yard fires, which this closure is sure to increase the risk of. And is it fair to them? These are just a few pertinent points which spring to mind and show the overwhelming need for a local dumping site. Perhaps an alternative location can be obtained for this very purpose, if the Village doesn't at present own anything suitable. It is my humble opinion that the expensive 'cure' for cleaning up our littered highways and by-ways will no doubt require extra revenue from the taxpayers pockets. Please, reconsider your action for the benefit of all members of the communtiy. Perhaps in future it would be a democratic move on behalf of the Regional Board and the Village of Gibsons to offer a referendum on such important issues, which lays the onus on the taxpayers shoulders, where it rightfully belongs. For the sake of our beautiful community, please bring back the Dump. P. Goldman Why so much garbage? Editor: A number of merchants in Gibsons feel they have been dealt an unjust blow in the closing of the Gibsons garbage dump. They suggest that garbage will be littered from Langdale to who knows where, and further, the extra costs in hauling to Sechelt will be passed on to the consumer (now this threat hits home). On the surface it appears that the solution is to keep the dump open. Unfortunately, this typifies the short run economic self interests of those who do not want to participate in an overall and equitable solution to garbage on the Sunshine Coast. For example, the mer- Heritage possibility Editor: After reading last week's editorial concerning the heritage possibilities of the Old IngHs muse1 iff Gibsons, I felt I must respond\/' Aside frb'rrr'the reasons given in the editorial, that the house has history in terms of the community and the noted people who met there, heritage concerns are expanding to include buildings which '\"'IfafVflnM simply typical of an area and \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd> Jr HUIMS building would undoubtedly change the character of the Harbour. I would encourage the Gibsons Beautification Committee and the Gibsons Village Council to keep note of other such buildings before it's too late, for much of Gibsons charm lies in its older buildings and village atmosphere. Keith Wallace chants \"solution\" jeopardize the health through ground water contamination of all those on wells below the dump. Do you think that the Pollution Control Board acted frivolously in making their decision? Do you think that the Regional District does not know that they can be sued if this were to happen? The real question is why is there so much garbage? The solutions are first to create less (and pass these benefits on to the consumers) and second, to dispose of what is left\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtaking into consideration environmental and economic concerns. With these considerations in mind closing the Gibsons (and Halfmoon Bay) Dump is a good move. However, there is plenty--of work needed in changing attitudes over the creation of garbage. Perhaps the Merchants' Association and Chamber of Commerce could direct their energies toward the educational, political and recycling programmes necessary so that all will benefit. Brett McGillivray Editor: I am concern regarding the closure of the Gibsons dump. I wonder if you are aware of the burden and inconvenience you have placed on the residents of Gibsons? Are you justly aware of the additional costs in operating a disposal system outside of our area? Do you realize the probable outcome of moving our disposal site to Sechelt? No, I think not. One reason given for the move is to cut pollution. When people start burning trash and shrubs in every yard, and dumping what won't burn in any accessible beach or roadside, we will see what pollution really is. This area has thrived under its controlled development in the past, showing a great concern for self-sufficiency and beautification. Why start moving backward in our development now? Please give reconsideration to this proposal as it will prove a costly mistake to every resident of the area. Richard L. Macedo Thank you, Dick Derby Editor: I think special thanks should be given to Mr. Dick Derby for the excellent job that he has done over the past few years in the upkeep of our local garbage dumps. They have been kept well organized and as \"tidy\" as any garbage dump could be. Reading the comments in the last week's papers it seems the feeling the people have is that from now on garbage will be littered everywhere within the Gibsons area. Which possibly it will. It also appears a bit late for the Chamber of Commerce to get worried. This closure has been coming for sometime and Ynonths ago was the time to complain and give advise. Let's hope in the future this area will not be littered with garbage and once again 'Thank You Dick' for a great job you have done this whole area. M. Frisch maintain the character of a past which is quickly being eaten up by the all-consuming addiction of society for the desire of \"newness\". Something new is not assurance of something better. The point I wish to make is that a heritage building does not necessarily have to be an architectural wonder or even a building that is distinct. The U.S., who are years ahead of us in heritage consciousness, have even set aside short lengths of fences for heritage conservation\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsimply because these lengths of fence maintain for us today a sampling of what life was like yesterday. The Old Inglis House would be a perfect heritage example ef a building typical of an era and area, and a focal point in Lower Gibsons, the loss of that Editor: Thank you Maryanne (Maryanne's Viewpoint February 26). 1 too will not be changing the way I listen to radio. Once again, we \"in the sticks\" are being discriminated against. Once in a blue moon, when there are freak atmospheric conditions, I can obtain an almost passable signal from CBC FM Vancouver via Coast Cablevision.but I think I'll give up trying to listen because it makes me so annoyed and frustrated not to be able to hear what I want to hear. I wrote, in December, to Peter Herrndorf of the CBC and to the CRTC complaining of the poor CBC FM signal in this area, and to this date I also have heard nothing from either party. Such courtesy! Josephine A. Hammond Musings (continued) goalie all ends up. Just as he shot Frank was knocked whatnot over tea kettle and picked himself up to see the ball in the net and to accept the team's congratulations for his spectacular effort. Three days later the university newspaper came out listing myself with three goals to Frank's two and he questioned me about it in the breakfast lineup. Till then I hadn't realized that Frank didn't know what had happened and I took a perverse delight in explaining all. When Frank was knocked flying his shot from the corner of the box completely eluded the goalkeeper and he knew nothing more. However, Frank's shot bounced off the post on the far side ofthe goal and back into the middle where Old Ever Eager was loping in the glory hole. It hit me on the chest and bounced back into the net and I was goal-scoring champion. It's all a long time ago but yet affords me real pleasure when the world isn't behaving as I think it ought. When my teams aren't winning I take these memories from the shelf and dust them off. And I still chuckle at the look on Frank Licberman's face when I told him how I had come to beat him out for the league scoring title which he thought was his.

I convince myself she's one of Ihe single girls who work in the office, throw caution to the winds, reel over and ask her to Jance. She acquiesces with a warm smile and comes into my arms. \"I'm Annie.\" she says in a verj friendly, way. \"You certainly are.\" I agree with beery bravado and hold her much too close for someone I've just met. Buxom Annie doesn't seem to mind al all. She puts her head on my shoulder and we sway romantically round the room like a couple of long time lovers. Fortunately, Spud Island Jerry lakes me aside before I gel too carried away. \"Better ease up there, bye.\" he says. \"That's Big Sany Mclntyre's wife.\" I le indicates a very large bald-headed man sitting on the Pages from a Life-Log Peter Trower chesterfield. Thereafter, I keep my distance and make no further advances. But a couple of times I catch her looking at me in a quizzical way. Damnit, she's attractive. Why the hell are the best ones always married'.' Under most circumstances, that would have been the end of it but Cinnamon River is a small place. Annie and 1 seem to be constantly running into each other after this. She invariably stops to talk. I learn that she's 2K and has a live year old daughter. Inevitably, one of our pointless, weed-pulling assignments takes us right by her house. Annie appears, looking extremely fetching ill shorts and a halter and asks if I'll give her a hand to move a bit of furniture. She doesn't have to twist my arm. While we are in ihe house she stumbles against me as if by accident. \"Whoops,\" she says innocently. It's all I can do to stop myself from grabbing her and kissing her right there. \"Jesus, man, she really seems to dig you!\" says Little Al with some envy. \"Ah, no woman's worth getting shot over,\" 1 say with attempted casualness. But secretly, I'm beginning to wonder if it might not warrant the risk. In an attempt to get my mind off such reckless thoughts, 1 begin dating a young local girl called Sylvia. She's a nice enough kid but half the time I kiss her, I find myself imagining that she's Annie. 1 feel like a complete hypocrite. One long weekend I decide to take a trip to my former stamping grounds; visit my mother and youngest brother and look up a few old cronies, liver since coming to Cinnamon River I have toyed mention this fact to my tablcmates in the local pub. \"Hell,\" says one of them, \"I've got just the deal for you.\" He is a convincing salesman. By the end of the night, I find myself writing him out a cheque. That Sunday, far from sober, I commence the return journey. In this somewhat random and haphazard manner, I became a boat owner.

But it floated and moved that seemed sufficient I voyaged through a fantasy steering it proud a vessel-possessor king of the ocean the prow of my cockleshell carving the waves. Cracking beer after celebrant beer I chug-a-lugged on from one town to another singing insane duets with the engine the day rejoicing and reeling about me. I was halfway there when the motor died I cranked like a fool but it paid no attention In panic I found I'd forgotten the oars mechanical moron, I cursed and drifted. The Sound was empty of boats to hail I was far from shore and the sky was clouding what if a storm blew up?'I had nightmares of winds lambasting me into oblivion. At length, I worried the engine again yarded so hard, I damn near fell overboard and just when I'd reached the end of my patience it coughed, ignited and stuttered alive. It was dark when I docked at Cinnamon River with a sigh of relief and most of my beer lugged it all up to the liquorless hunkhouse rousted my buddies and drank half the night. vaguely with the thought of buying a small boat with part of my inheritance before it all gets frittered away.

Cirque Alexander will present shows at Chatelech and Elphinstone High Schools this weekend. See story below. Circus is coming Sponsored by the Sunshine Coast Arts Council, Cirque Alexander will bring the magic and laughter of the circus world to the communities of Sechelt and Gibsons on March 8 and 9 with its special presentation of Must Plain Fun'. The circus of Cirque Alexander is 'the heart ofthe circus' namely, the clowns. There's Alexander, a happy, mischievi- ous and downright silly clown who befuddles and bemuses his more judicious friend Officer O'Sneeley, a colourful do- gooder styled in the Keystone Kop tradition. Together, they wittily wend their way into hilarious situations that are a delight for the whole family. The show is called Must Plain Fun' and that's just what it is. \"Fun - that's all - and that's enough\" according to local critic Richard Todd of Victoria's Monday Magazine. Must Plain Fun' draws from the colourful traditions of circus and vaudeville. The clowns play over the footlights teasing and charming one and all into a world of happy foolishness. Balloons, music, magic and a daring ride on a unicycle arc some of the ingredients that go into making Must Plain Fun' a unique recipe for laughter. The most magical part of the show is the audience participation which is at its height from start to finish. Children of all ages spontaneously join in the fun and are an essential element to the growing excitement and absurdity of this hour long presentation. You can never be sure what's going to happen wilh this delightful mixture of clown, kop and audience Be sure to see this dynamic clown duo for an hour of mirth and merriment. On Saturday, March 8 Cirque Alexander will be performing in the music room at the Chatelech High School in Sechelt at 2:00 p.m. Sunday. March 9 they will be in the lounge room al Elphinstone Secondary School in Gibsons. Show time is 2:01) p.m. Tickets are SI.50 for children and $2.00 for adults and can be purchased at the door.

Off the shelf by John Moore Having spent the last couple of years of my life behind the bar, (not behind bars, but there are times when...) I thoroughly enjoyed Tales From Gavagan's Bar by L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt. (Bantam Books. $1.95) It's widely available on newstands and drug store racks currently, though it's actually a re-issue of a number of stories originally published in pulp magazines just shortly after the second World War. At the time of writing, L. Sprague de Camp was a fledgling freelance writer and his friend, Fletcher Pratt, a noted writer in such fields as military and naval history, science fiction and biography. Though I'm wary of books written by committee or collaboration, the two succeeded, over a period of several years, in producing a number of bizarre and entertaining tales. The key to their success is the open ended framework within which the tales themselves are told. De Camp and Pratt chose their framework well; if sitting around the campfire is humanity's oldest setting for telling tales, sitting around in the bar runs a close second. (Not necessarily an improvement. In spite of the progress represented by the wraparound posturepedic bar stool, you still get a lot of smoke in your eyes and a 50\/50 chance of getting W6t.) Gavagan's Bar is one of. those cozy neighbourhood bars in which much ofthe action of so many movies made in the 1950's occurs. Once a rundown saloon, now rehabilitated to appeal to the carriage trade, it remains the haunt of a select group of inevitable \"regulars\", part-time philosophers and tale spinners with names like Mr. Witherwax, Professor Thott, Doc Brenner, the brassy blonde Mrs. Jonas and the perhaps not so regular \"regular\", Theophrastus V. Abaris, a magician whose talents extend somewhat beyond sleights of hand. The bar is presided over by the phlegmatic Aloysius P Cohan, whose prowess with a bung-stopper is sufficiently legendary to quell any disagreement between patrons which threatens to become a breach of his peace long before it gets out of hand. Gavagan, (it rhymes with pagan) the owner of the bar, is a retired geologist with a substantial pension for whom the establishment is a hobby-business. References are made in passing to his having been in the bar, \"Gavagan himself was here at the time\" etc., but, appropriately, he never does make an actual appearance in any of the tales, nor do any of the stories directly involve him. The habitues of Gavagan's nurse their \"usuals\", from Brandy Alexanders to Boilermakers, and swap the most unusual tales and reminiscences; like the time a young loudmouth named Pearce insisted, over the objections of the magician Abaris, on swatting down a bat which had somehow lost its way and flapped into the bar. The magician muttered something in the direction of the victorious Pearce and the young man has been popping in and out of the Gents at Gavagan's ever since. He appears for just long enough to hoist a few before he vanishes for an unspecified time into the washroom again. The only trouble is, whenever anyone goes in to look for him, the room is empty. Mr. Cohan is deeply concerned about Pearce's mounting unpaid tab and the discrepancies in his inventory. (Pearce returns at irregular hours, leaving empty bourbon bottles as mute evidence of his visits.) The regulars invariably draw stangers into their conversations and they contribute to the off-the-wall mythology of Gavagan's Bar; there is the man who made an unorthodox deal with the Devil, Mrs. Vacarescu and her husband Putzi, the were-dachshund, late of Transylvania, the lady mechanic who couldn't cook until she had a run-in with an aborigine shaman and now can't cook anything for her meat-and-potatoes husband because everything she puts in a pot mysteriously comes out Haut Cuisine, even tuna casserole. Then there's young Murdoch, who had a problem with mice in his apartment until he borrowed Abaris' dragon, (the only one hatched in captivity) and then lost it somewhere in the city and now sits drinking in Gavagan's, wondering how he's going to explain to the magician. Some of the stories in Tales From Gavagan's Bar suffer from their age. The ironic twists of plot and ending that were such an integral part of pulp fiction seem a bit predictable, even hackneyed now, like old re-runs of The Twilight Zone, but there's still a lot of good conversation behind the doors of Gavagan's Bar. Pull up a chair and name your poison...and forget your mother ever told you not to talk to strangers. All for now.

Many of us have been eagerly awaiting the chance to try out the excellent accoustics of our new log structure on some brass music and now, finally the City Centre Brass is going to treat us to this opportunity. City Centre Brass is an ensemble of five of Vancouver's finest musicians, led by Kim Elton. The group consists of two trumpets, one trombone, one French horn and a tuba, and has a great variety of music in their repertoire, from Renaissance selections to Scott Joplin. From my experience with brass concerts and brass players (generally the most casual and fun-loving of all instrumentalists) this concert will likely be one of our less serious ventures, with a bit of something for everyone. Tickets are $3 for adults, $1.50 for students, at the door.

Arts Centre 'Journeys' The creative work of Soames Point artist, Pauline Lawson, began with a \"doodle\" in 1972. Since that time many, many hours have been spent extending that \"doodle\", working from her subconscious into large paintings that Pauline refers to as JOURNEYS. JOURNEYS will be on exhibit at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt from March 8 to March 30. The media used are acrylic, ink, and a watercolour technique that is combined with her own style and put on watercolour paper. Colours are generally warming yellows and oranges contrasted with brilliant blues. There is a feeling of celebration in these paintings. Much has been achieved in her short time as an artist. In 1973, Pauline received two first places for her silkscreen prints in the Saanich Art Fair. Also while living on the Island she illustrated a children's book by Angela Mills. The exhibit at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre will be Pauline Lawson's first Canadian one-person show and everyone is cordially invited to attend the opening night on Friday, March 7, 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Come and meet the artist, meet friends, and join us in a cup of coffee or tea.

If we've got them, sooner or later we'll find an excuse to use them. How do people of goodwill eo about counteracting this sort ot insanity'.' Some write letters, some march and gather to pi utest, many of us I suppose try i'i put the whole thing out of our minds because \"What can one person do anyway'.'\" Then there is the Pacific Life Community, who, on January Ii of this year staged a prayer and meditation session at the Trident base at Bangor. Washington. Two of them, Jim Douglass and John Clark, undeterred by earlier prison sentences scaled the fence in an attempt to pray at the bunkers in which the nuclear rockets are stored. \"But.\" you say, \"they're crazy! That's not prayer. They're just a bunch of far-out loony protestors.\" And the dialogue with the sceptic goes like this: P.L.C. \"The Magi must have seemed crazy too, on that first Epiphany, to go chasing a star. Not knowing what they'd find and risking their lives to find it. Wasn't that a prayer for peace?\" S. The Magi's pilgrimage ended in worship of the Christ child, not at a nuclear bunker.\" P.L.C. \"The Bomb has become our Christ child. The first A- bomb dropped on a city was named 'Little Boy'. From Hiroshima on. the god we worship, the source of our security has been in nuclear bunkers. Praise the Lord and pass the plutonium.\" S. \"Thai's blasphemy and doesn't explain why you want to pray at a nuclear bunker.\" P.L.C. \"Because true prayer takes us into the heart of danger. Going to the site of nuclear idols is our spiritual journey into the evil and despair in our hearts. We have to pray against despair by acting out hope.\" S. \"Where, in our time can we possibly find hope?\" P.L.C. \"By taking responsibility, by acting with our own hands and lives we can experience hope and celebrate a new reality, a true Epiphany.\" S. \"So your Epiphany is a celebration of life at a nuclear bunker?\" P.I ('. \"We couldn't have put it belter ourselves.

SHOP y^V In Christ's service Growing old with dignity by George W. Inglis Sunshine Coast United Churches One of the most precious heritages of the human race is the ability to grow old with dignity\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand yet how sadly neglected this precious asset in the human balance sheet has become! Members of the animal kingdom have various ways of indicating to its older and feebler members that they are no longer able to serve a useful purpose in the society of their kind, and almost invariably the method seems harsh or cruel to humans. There is something almost unbearably pathetic about a mighty lion who is reduced to tottering about in a half-blind state, hobbling on stiff limbs and gumming the half-consumed kill of lesser animals\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand yet, once his belly is full, the king of beasts still has some of the same regal dignity and independence of mien that he had when he was young. The elephants retain their dignity in the act of aging by instinct, taking off by themselves and dying alone in some isolated spot, where other elephants have done the same thing. Whatever the method of meeting with old age, most animals manage to maintain their dignity to the end. And so did man, for many centuries, particularly in the eastern races, where the family unit was a tight little island, and a highly respected unit of society. The ciders ofthe family were revered for their great wisdom, and were given the chosen places in the home, and the choice food at the table. The elders were consulted on important matters, and no major decisions were made affecting the family without a family council, in which the elders had a leading role. Even though society was male oriented in many ways, there were some matriarchal societies in which the women were decision makers, and even in others, the women were consulted carefully on raising children and caring tor the household. In the church, synagogue or temple, the elders played a vital role, providing sage counsel for the young on all matters of theology, politics, law, etc., and their advice was respected. Elders, under this relationship, could feel cherished and needed as long as they could draw breath, no matter how limited they might be in their physical capabilities. The process of aging, then, was a gradual maturation, with each segment of growth duly celebrated and enjoyed. Childhood was warm and luxurious; youth was vigorous and expanding; adulthood was generous and creative; middle age spelled wisdom and reflec- CARSANDTRUCKS Rental\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdLeasing \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAlso- Domestic & Industrial Equipment Sechell next to the liquor store Gibsons at Pratt & Hwy. 101 Seaside Rentals 885-2848 886-2848 In comparison, children seem to be imbued with the competitive spirit today before they have known the blissful joys of childhood; they seem to be thrown into the maelstrom of a frenetic and acquisitive society with such force that they frequently rebound into a restless and rebellious subculture which is opposed to everything structured, and yet works out in fact to be more severely structured than the \"establishment\", with uniform tiveness; the autumn years were times of imparting knowledge and skills to others, and old age was a time for peaceful pursuits and dignified and quiet counselling of loved ones, until about the magic age of 30, on one side of the coin. On the other side, those who go with the flow and place heavy emphasis on winning, also arrive at the magic age of 30. The rebels frequently come to a rude awakening at 30, and decide they have to start assessing their values; the conformists frequently come to a state of disillusionment at age 30, and decide they have to start re-assessing their values. Both sides have been preoccupied with self for these 30 clothing, uniform hair styles, uniform language, uniform recreation, uniform music, etc. The problem appears to be, in many instances, a state of search and rebellion which lasts years, and contemptuous of old \"squares\" over 30! They have been so contemptuous of old age, consciously or unconsciously, that they have literally feared contact with their elders, and so move into the prime years of their own lives with just brief and unwilling association with senior citizens, and a dearth of knowledge of the dignity, happiness, courage and wise counsel that may exist among those whose bodies may not respond with the snap and elasticity of youth. Unfortunately, this same preoccupation with competitiveness and material acquisition has resulted in less and less grandparents living with their children, so the children can be exposed to their elders in the familiar and comfortable surroundings of the home. The result is that many people today approach middle age without ever having formed a loving respect for old age, and regard the state of being elderly as some kind of irreversible disease. I will never forget the discussion among a group of seminarians, most of them in late 20's or early 30's, and the expressions of amazement and Coast News, March delight at how easily they were able to communciate with senior citizens in their visits to extended care hospitals and homes for the elderly. Even though one of their group members was in iale 50's himself, they spoke with such condescension about the \"sharpness\" of some of those \"old folks\" in their late 60's and 70's, that it sounded as though they were talkingaboul visitors from outer space. It is a regrettable, but inevitable generation gap which we have forged ourselves by excluding a large and very vital segment of society, and relegating them to a subsidiary and unproductive role in the world which they helped I'ash- 4,1980 7. ion. The saddest part of it all is that the doctors are working vigorously to prolong life, so that today's senior citizen is looking at 10 or 15 more years in life expectancy, after he or she has been suddenly hurled into that state of other-world- liness at the turn of a calendar leaf. Is it any wonder that so many fight desperately to hold back the dawn? Is it any wonder that growing old with dignity is almost a lost art? -~\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd__\ufffd\ufffd f9%~-t NOTICE BOARD hone 886-2622 Ministry of Human Reiources in recognition ot Human Resources week, invites the public to an Open House, at our olfice on Dolphin St. Sechelt (above the OK Tire Store), Wednesday, March 5th, 1.30-4 00 p.m. Sunshine Coast Figure Skating Club Presents a World Tour on Ice on March 16 at 2 00 and 6:00 p.m. Tickets now on sale at the Muppet Shop.

It's The Meat! We are proud of our meat section, as we are proud of our other departments. As consumers we are attracted to one store or another for a variety of reasons. The meat eaters often comment on the fine quality, trim, packaging and variety of meats in our meat case. So this week I want to make a few comments concerning that department. Dennis Hollis is our butcher. He is well-trained, having started 20 years ago at Safeway. Within broad policy methods and procedures agreed upon between us, he runs the department. His staff include a mother and son combination, Mary McEwan, meat wrapper and'Jimmy McEwan, meat cutter trainee. Mary has been with us about seven years. Jimmy, who started with us under a Government Youth Training Program over two years ago is now advanced to the stage that he can perform most of the meat cutting steps by himself. We sell nothing but A-l steer beef, which when properly aged and packaged gives the best all-round satisfaction. While our case contains only pre-wrapped meats, we are always willing to cut meat to order, so do not hesitate to step through the meat doorway and ask for that which you do not see. We try to have a good variety of type, size and cut. For instance we usually have fresh lamb and veal. These are not always carried in the meat markets. When it comes to buying sides or hinds of beef, custom cut and wrapped, I frequently shudder at the risk some people take in \"bargain hunting\" for an edible product that can cost from $350 to $600, depending on size. More than once have 1 been approached by a sad faced customer who bought a side of beef from a private or country slaughter house at \"bargain\" prices and found it so tough they couldn't eat it. In the 10 years we have been here we have had two problems, and in both cases, we graciously accepted a return, and replaced the meat at no cost to the customer. It is important to know what you get when you buy \"bargain\" beef, and even more important lo know that the vendor gives unconditional guarantees of satisfaction, or money refunded. Parking Lot Wall For the past few years we have noticed increased cracking of our parking lot wall, and so have others. For safety, and until more permanent steps of correction can be made, we have had Mr. Fiedler's big shovel dig out the earth from behind to relieve the pressure. Studies are underway as to how we can best utilize our properties. For our purposes we believe in this area of Gibsons Harbour and therefore we want to keep our properties up in good, useful condition. Shop with confidence. Our prices are uery competitive. Ule will not he undersold on these advertised items. Ufe fully guarantee everything we sell to he satisfactory, or money cheerfully refunded. 10.

Copland Municipal Clerk his legions in mutiny against the Senate and marched on the city itself. This man, Petius said, wanted to make himself King of Rome. King Juba knew the Romans had a horror of kings. He did not understand their eccentric pride at being a people without a king, but the Romans were powerful and if they wished to be ruled by a mob of old men it did not concern him... \"The messengers informed Petius that the Senate had appointed one of Rome's greatest generals lo arrest the mutineers, but thus far fortune had turned her face from him. The rebels had captured the capital and driven him across Greece. Though the generals were bound by ties of marriage and long friendship, neither would relent. Soon the campaign was lo begin anew in Africa. The envoys urged King Juba to muster his troops and come to the aid of Rome as his ancestors had done. When they were victorious, Rome's gratitude would be unparalleled. \"Privately, Petrius too pressed his friend the King to prepare for war. He had been happy here in the kingdom of his friend, so happy he had almost forgotten he was a Roman, but the thought of a king ruling in the city of his birth seemed to drive him into a frenzy of patriotism. He brooded and no longer touched his lyre. He cast off the cool robes he had adopted and once again put on the tunic and armour of a Roman soldier. He drilled himself to exhaustion and once nearly killed the King in sword practice. \"When Ihe army of mutineers landed on these shores and marched into the country of King Juba, Petrius and the King were ready to meet them. Though the King had assembled a great host of cavalry and infantry, reinforced by war-elephants, Petrius advised him against the Roman army when it was drawn up in order of battle. Instead they waited until late afternoon, letting heat and thirst weaken the army standing in the sun. Then they sent forward a small force of mixed cavalry and infantry to attack while the real strength of the army disposed itself in ambush in the broken country to the rear. \"At a signal, the skirmishers, who had attacked the Romans with little effect, retreated into the growing dusk, pretending a rout. The Roman cavalry and light infantry pursued them, while the heavily armed troops and the baggage train struggled to keep pace and finally fell behind. Soon the whole army was strung out in the darkness in no kind of order. At that moment King Juba's army fell on Ihcm from all sides.

He had given command of this army to one of his aides and though this man too excaped the destruction of his army, he threw himself from a cliff in disgrace. King Juba disbanded his host and he and Petrius went hunting lions to celebrate their victory. \"But their joy was shortlived. Messengers arrived at their camp with news that the Senate's general had been treacherously murdered by men of The Black Land. They had sent his head to the tyrant who was now master of all the lands ruled by Rome. The tyrant himself had sailed for Rome to force the Senate to place a crown upon his head, but another army was presently marching on their heels to command obeisance and hostages from King Juba. Petrius was to surrender to the commander of this force and be conveyed to Rome to be prosecuted for treason. \"King Juba grew very angry at this news. He had demonstrated his superiority over the Romans. He swore that they would have to burn every one of his cities before he would surrender his best friend to such a fate or bow his head to an upstart soldier of Rome. He ordered his retainers to strike camp and rideto the nearest of his cities. ' \"But word of the King's vow had preceded him.

Drieberg Everyone Welcome For information phone: 885-9750 or 883-2736 Editor: The Provincial government recently issued a White Paper for discussion purposes entitled Log Salvage in the Vancouver Log Salvage District, requesting comments from concerned parties. Amongst others this White Paper was mailed to all Log Salvors. I prepared my response and thought it would be a good idea to communicate with other beachcombers to stimulate interest. However, both Gulf Log Salvage Co-op and the Vancouver Ministry of Forests office have deniedme access to the active Log Salvors mailing list, even after I offered to deliver the requisite number of stamped and scaled envelopes and pay a member of their staff overtime to address and post them so I would not see the list. In order to reach the 500 or more current permit holders and have some sort of open discussion on this subject I would appreciate it if you could publish this letter and my responses. Thank you, Yours sincerely, Bill Smith Dear Fellow Beachcomber, The following computer printout is my response to the Ministry of Forests Paper. If you agree with any ofthe points I am trying to make please copy the letter, adding, deleting or changing to suit your point of view, and sent to: Director, Valuation Branch, Ministry of Forests, 1450 Government Str\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Victoria, B.C. V8W 3E7 Further, your local MLA may be interested in receiving a copy. Bill Smith LS 1796 Dear Sir, RE. White Paper \ufffd\ufffd8 Para. F, by not making the returns to the log salvor dependent on the price received for the parcel of logs, but presumably the general average price discussed elsewhere in the Regulations, removes all incentive to promote direct'sales. Further given the Gulf Log Salvage Co-op owners and directors retain their present manufacturing interests, Para. F opens the way for a log salvor to bring a class action under Federal law against the owners for price fixing, as a monopoly situation would be in effect. I think direct sales should continue to exist with the log salvor receiving a fixed proportion of the returns of the particular sale. Para. O, Operating Hours, limits the working hours of a log salvor to daylight hours. Whilst this may be desirable for security reasons in places like the North Arm Fraser River, Howe Sound or other log storage areas it becomes impractical for beachcombers working up and down the B.C. Coastline. The usual method of working for these beachcombers is to only work rising tides, every log has to be yarded off the beach and the danger of having the boat stranded is considerable if working a dropping tide. Now having worked a rising tide or when it gets too dark, the problem is to get the day's salvaged logs to a safe tie up before the weather deteriorates and yourself back into a position to resume work the next day. By imposing another restraint on top of tides, weather, \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfuel supply, sleep time, etc., this form of beachcombing becomes practically impossible. I propose that the following sentence be added to the begining of Para. O. \"In areas within one mile of log storage or booming grounds,\" Para. K, Compensation for salvaged logs, proposes a 50-50 split ofthe proceeds ofthe sale of logs between the log salvor and all other interests including the government, the licencee, scalers, owners, etc. According to the report of the Royal Commission (timber rights and forest policy in B.C.) referred to in history section of this White Paper these proceeds were supposed to go to the log salvor, not just half but the total proceeds. It was even intimated that the owners be penalized in some way for polluting the waters and beaches of B.C. Even given that the Forest Service may interpret the report differently I did not expect the proportion to drop from 65% to 50% for all log salvors outside the Fraser River complex. The log salvage business creates employment for many persons directly, and indirectly for many more. By reducing his income these many jobs must be put in jeopardy if it becomes uneconomical to continue. 1 propose the minimum split is the present 65% for the log salvor and that if any justice or fairness exists in B.C. the log salvor gets the full value for his very physical and dangerous work. Para. C, Qualifications for a log salvage licence, requires Canadian citizenship. My understanding of Federal law is that permanent residents, (landed immigrants), cannot be discriminated a- gainst regarding job opportunities etc. and I think it would be a mistake to give this type of regulation the force of Provincial law. I therefore purpose this class of person be included in Para. C. Para. LI, in part, states: \"if requested by a forest officer or a peace officer, he (the log salvor) shall...provide orally all information requested concerning his log salvage operation and logs or booms in his possession...\" Even a suspected murderer doesn't have to do this and has the right to remain silent, yet the Forest Service wants to pass regulations into Provincial law that will cause the long suffering beachcomber to become some sort of sub class of person that is automatically assumed to be guilty of theft if he has logs in his possession. I propose this part ofthe new regulations be deleted, further it would be nice if the Forest Service stopped this type of thinking that is prevalent amongst some of its officers. Para L5, limits the employment of a helper, by a log salvor, to one who meets the qualifications of log salvor.

Therefore most of these operations are what could be termed 'small family businesses' and there is no way they could become medium or large operations. The limitation of the helper being over aged 18, apart from being discrimatory to the younger man, effectively stops log salvors employing their sons or daughters in these family businesses. 1 propose Para. J be rewritten so as not to exclude these young people. N.B. Paras. LI and Jcontain similar restrictions that needs to be removed. Para. L4, in part, states: \"The log salvage permit is valid for salvaging logs only below median high water mark...\" In nautical terms the expression 'median high water' means the average of all the high waters, whether small or large, which in effect is considerably less than the 'high high water' above which most logs are deposited on the shore by wave action. If the intent of this regulation is to prevent yarding of logs from the beaches and shoreline of B.C. then that is the effect it will have, plus putting out of business a sizable proportion of log salvor's who seldom pick up a floating log but spend their working day yarding from the foreshore. I propose this Para L4 be changed to include this traditional method of work. Para K, Compensation for Salvage Logs, in part proposes a 50-50 split of the proceeds of the sale of Ihe salvaged logs between the log salvors and the other interested parties. This Para, then goes on to propose a schedule of payment for the log salvor as follows: 1) 45% of the average price per cubic metre. 2) Plus $1.75 each log. 3) Plus $2.00 per cubic metre if the logs are sorted and boomed by the log salvor in complete sections for delivery to a buyer. From this I assume Item 2, $1.75, is meant to represent approximately 5% of the value of an average log, which it does at this time. However, this is unlikely to remain the case with inflation and general market fluctuations etc. plus it would be a bad policy to enter fixed prices into regulations that hopefully will be in force for some considerable time. I therefore propose Item 2 be changed to read: 2) Plus 5 per cent ofthe average price per cubic metre for each log. The cost of booming logs as in Item 3 is the same for the log salvor as it is for the licencee, both have booming grounds, equipment, etc. to maintain. And the licencee, elsewhere in these regulations is allowed reasonable operating costs, to sort and boom logs. At the present time these cost are $2.55 per cubic metre. I therefore propose Item 3 be changed to read: 3) Plus the 'standard booming cost' in force at the time the boom is reported if the logs arc sorted and boomed by the permit holder in complete sections for delivery to a buyer. This 'standard booming cost' would be part of the information supplied by the licencee each month to the Regional Manager. Para. I, in part, states: \"Monies received from the sale of unidentifiable logs (no- mark-visible logs)...will be used for financing programs for log loss control and debris disposal.\" Given that: 1. This money is generated by the log salvors. 2.

In the case of log loss; control this would work in; direct opposition to the log; salvor's obvious interests. Para I, in part, goes on to \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd_ state: \"Monies surplus to the above \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd requirements may be paid to j the owners of identifiable > lots...\" Given that: l. Log salvors generate the money. 2. The logs are unidentifiable. 3. The owner is not \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd identifiable as an individual or company. 4. The owners as a class should not be rewarded for polluting Coastal waters. Then logically: This surplus should be called 'profit', otherwise no incentive, other than in the existing situation, exists for a licencee to operate. The existing licencee operates in the interests of the owners, the major forest companies, as a non-profit co-op. This setup means the owners recover their lost wood cheaply and at the same time exercise an inordinate degree of control over the supposedly independent log salvor. A better security organization for the forest companies is hard to envision. I propose that relevant changes be made to this Para. I. Para L5, Equipment and Assistance in Salvaging of \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Logs, states in part: \"A permit holder may not operate more than one log salvage boat and more than one \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd tender boat in the immediate vicinity of the log salvage boat, : and such a tender may not be powered by an engine of more than 40 hp.\" To log salvors working the beaches up and down the Coastline of B.C. this limitation of 40 hp is impossible. The normal equipment this type of beachcomber owns is a 30-40 ft. tug or workboat for \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd sleeping, towing, and in certain exceptional circumstances, putting on the beach for yarding heavy or awkwardly positioned logs. This boat is considered the log salvage boat. In addition he owns a 15-20 ft. skiff for yarding 99% of the slavaged logs off of the beaches and shoreline. This skiff usually has a engine with a horsepower in excess of 200 and sometimes as much as 400 hp. This boat is considered the tender. Now to limit the tender to 40 hp would mean it could not be used for yarding logs, the average log probably weighs in excess of 2000 lbs., so this type of beachcomber would be forced to use his large boat for yarding. To use a large boat for yarding is very expensive in ' maintenance costs as considerable damage is unavoidable to any boat that has to work on or near the shoreline. Also the safety of the beachcomber and his assistant is put into jeopardy as their only accommodation and transportation is put to risk each time a log is yarded. I propose that the engine horsepower limitation for the tender be deleted. Para B, Qualifications for a Receiving Station Licence, includes specifically the provision for a conglomerate of persons or firms to also have an interest in the utilization of logs or the manufacture of timber. This in spite of the stated intention of the regulations to have all parties dealingat 'arms length'. ; This provision should be removed from the regulations j and those companies and persons that presently form the ; ownership of Gulf Log Salvage Co-op should divest themselves of one or the other, otherwise an obvious conflict of interest occurs.

This is now called the warp. , w,, \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd~ c_ The warp is then threaded onto the reed so that it can be spread evenly onto the loom. The first thing to learn in weaving appears to be a strange new language, \"winding the warp\", \"presleying the reed\", \"heddles\", \"sheds\", the list goes on. After this language is understood; there is a lot of time, patience, and work to be looked forward to, butdon't let this discourage you, the satisfaction at the end is worth it all. For this demonstation, Lyn Johnstone from Delphi in Gibsons is using a loom built in Cherryville, near Nakusp, in the interior of B.C. Models differ slightly according to the ingenuity of the builder. In this instance Lyn is starting off with pre-spun seed cotton. This will be woven into five yards of material 36 inches wide, and will eventually end up as a shirt. The first step is to wind the warp. In this model, the warp is wound on the loom. The cotton is wound evenly around the mill\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthis is the revolving clothes horse-like framework in the first picture. Winding the After placing the reed on the loom, the warp is run down onto the warp beam where it is rolled evenly. warp determines the length of the finished material. With this guage of cotton there are nine threads to the inch, 324 threads will give you the 36 inch width. After tying off the ends at intervals to avoid tangling, the cotton is braided into a loose crochet chain to enable you to handle it, again preventing tangles. This braided length of cotton is the warp. Once this is done, the next step is to presley the reed (sec picture 2). The reed is a comblike apparatus. The loop ends are strung on a thin wooden batton, or leash rod. This completed, the warp is secured with the second leash rod. The material is then threaded between the teeth of the reed. The ends once again arc tied at intervals to prevent them from slipping. The warp is then put on to the loom with the leash rods facing the weaving end. The tied ends behind the reed arc led down to the warp beam, which is a ratcheted drum which collects the warp. Once the warp has been Teenagers Continued from Page One. denominational mission for teenagers, hence the yard sale.

The warp is led from the beam and threaded through the harnesses. These are attached to the treadles, lift and separate the threads during weaving. After the cotton is through the harnesses, it is once again sleyed on to the reed. The reed is attached to the beater\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthis is aptly named, as the next sentence or two will explain. Finally the threads are led over the end of the loom and attached to the cloth beam. This is where the finished material will end up. You are now ready to start weaving, whew! In this instance, there will be no pattern in the weave, so only the first two treadles are required. Depressing the first treadle raises threads 1,3, 5, 7, etc. A shuttle with a spool of cotton is slid along between the parted threads. Then the beater is brought forward against it, 4,1980 11. and packs the thread against each preceeding one. Number two treadle is then depressed and threads 2, 4.6, 8 and so on are parted. The shuttle is then returned and the beater comes into the show again. As the work progresses, the warp beam is released a few notches at a time and ihe woven material is wound on to the cloth beam. This is a very shorthand account of the process of weaving, If you do get into it yourself, it would he advisable to have on the loom instructions.

Stevens BATH TOWELS Reg $io98 special $6.95 Wildlife corner by Ian Corrance Lei Lake I got a reminder this week about Ihe upcoming Lei Lake meeting at Ihe Sechelt Rod and Gun Club at 7:30 on Thursday, March 6th. As I began writing, John Hind-Smilh came in with a writeup on it. but I think il is important enough to be said twice. Just to recap: Lei Lake is the one above Porpoise Bay that Simon Fraser scientists want to seed experimentally with Or- thencjust to see what happens. I personally think that the lake is just fine the way it is and should be left alone. Marsh Society The next meeting of Ihe Marsh Society is unfortunately on the same evening as the Lei Lake meeting. Ah well, it gives people a choice. It's at 7:30 at Chatelech. Our friendly editors of Marsh Wrenderings, Tony and Kate, will be there to gloat at us by recounting their trip to Costa Rica and what they saw there. I think that Vince Bracewell is also,going to have a film called 'The World of the Marsh\". notice of Annual MEETING To: Membership ofthe Sechelt Marsh Protective Society Please take notice that the Annual General Meeting ofthe Society will be held on Thursday, April 17th, 1980, at 7:30 p.m. in the music room ol Chatelech Junior Secondary School, Sechelt, B.C. The executive feels need ol some new board members. Up until now the group has consisted ol the old stand-bys. We would appreciate a few volunteers willing to be voted into office this year with a view to more energetic participation next year. A regular agenda including election of officers will be followed. Letter Bill Forst sent me a copy of a letter he sent recently. I think you'll find it self-explanatory. Dear Mr. Corrance: I have enclosed a copy of my letter to the provincial government regarding the opening of Manning Park to snowmobile traffic. I believe this policy of the Parks Minister is relevant to Sunshine Coast residents not only because many of us make occasional use of Manning Park facilities, but because of the the recreation philosophy upon which this policy is based is a threat to all areas of the province, especially areas such as ours. Sunshine Coast residents should be urged to write to the Minister to protest this policy in the interest of conservation in British Columbia. Thank you for your interest, Sincerely, Bill Forst Minister of Lands, Parks, and Housing Government of British Columbia Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Dear Sir: My wife and myself, with another couple, visited Manning Park this past weekend to enjoy some cross-country skiing, and to stay at your lovely lodge. We were astounded on our first day, to find snowmobiles in the parking lot and on the \"Monument 83\" trail. We were even more shocked to find that they were permitted to be there under a revision to the parks act! This is a major change of policy for Manning Park, which has long been a bastion against motorized recreational vehicles off the road. This new policy, though limited, surely must be the \"thin edge of the wedge\" leading shortly to motorboats and trailbikes gaining similar access. Certainly in this era of energy shortages, concern against noise and air pollution, our government must provide leadership in reducing our dependence on motorized vehicles, rather than making major policy changes to encourage their use, especially in recreational contexts. With regard to the specific situation at Manning Park, the policy created a dangerous and confusing mixed use of the trail, with snowmobilers and skiers sharing two kilometres of trail. During our three hours on the trail we observed two ugly occurrences. The first involved four snowmobiles which were using the ski trail at least I'\/i kilometres beyond their posted limit, causing a high potential of collision with skiers. The other situation involved a woman who came so close to being hit, that her skis were actually crossed by the machine. Nowhere on the entire trail was there any sign warning skiers or snowmobilers of the dangers of a shared trail. It is obvious that with the new ruling only two weeks into effect, that the snowmobile traffic will be impossible to control. We are incredulous that such a major change of policy for Manning Park was given so little publicity. As far as we are aware, no ublic hearing was offcrred, making it appear as if the ruling was \"sneaked in\" to prevent any opposition. You may be assured that we will make it our business to give this new policy, and the philosophy it reflects, the publicity which it deserves. We urge you respectfully, to reconsider and rescind Regulation 53 of the Park Act Regulations. Sincerely, Bill Forst cc: Mr. D. Lockstead, MLA, (Mackenzie), Mr. John Rogers, Outdoors Editor, The Vancouver Sun, Mr. Ian Corrance, Coast News, Gibsons, B.C.

Delay regretted The Coast News regrets that delivery of the newspaper in the rural areas served from Gibsons' Post Office was delayed for a day on account ofthe breakdown of one of the vehicles used for these deliveries. We gather, however, from Post Master Les Virag, that many of you will already know of the delay.

It's a complex issue hinging on how much vye can or are willing to pay for fire protection. To help ihem assess the various options, the School Board invited Mr. Gordon Collins, Manager of the Loss Prevention Division of ICBC and consultant to Ihe Minister of Education re: School Risk Fire Reduction, to their last meeting. Mr. Collins' preference lor a high-risk wooden building is for a sprinkler system, providing the water pressure is adequate, Although initially expensive, il has the advantage of going to work on the lire as soon as the alarm is activated and, because only the sprinklers in the immediate locality of the fire respond, of pinpointing the area for the firemen when they arrive, often saving the rest of the building from water damage. Smoke detectors are a useful backup to such a system. In non-combustible constructions such as Elphinstone School, firewalls either to divide a large building into smaller sections or to isolate an area of higher risk such as the workshop prove helpful. Intruder alarm systems are becoming more sophisticated and consequently expensive, but they can be tied into the telephone system. Difficulties arise in a school such as Elphinstone in which many people are legitimately coming and going alter school hours. The technology to meet this problem is available, but it ise.xpensivc. Mr. Collins apologized for omitting to bring the relevant files for this District with him.

They decided to press on through the night to the next town without rest. King Juba sent out riders to gather his scattered army once again. As he and his remaining men rode through the desert night, he ranted, describing the dire torments he would devise to punish the inhabitants of the town which had denied its King. \"He would raze the town himself, he promised, and save the Romans the trouble. No two bricks or stones would be left standing together. Every stick of wood was to be burned. All goods and livestock would be divided among his loyal men. Not a soul was to be sold into slavery; he would crucify every man, woman and child on the site of their town and leave them without food, water or shelter, as :hey had denied him. Let the jackals gnaw their feet and entrails! Let the vultures feast upon their eyes! He would deny them even the mercy ofthe sword. \"Though it was the middle of the day when they arrived at the .next town, the nearby fields and farms were deserted. Once again the gates of the town were shut against them. Even the walls appeared unmanned and their approach went unchallenged. The King's herald had to beat on the gates with the butt of his spear. \"'Open in the name of the King!' he cried. When no reply was forthcoming, the herald dismounted, climbed slowly up the wall, and pulled himself over the top. Moments later there was a single sharp shriek and the herald dropped into the dust before the King's startled horse. His throat had been cut. \"'Thus do we deal with intruders!' said a hidden voice from above. 'Begone, lor our archers grow impatient.' '\"You have slain the herald of your King!' bellowed King Juba. 'Your lands and your lives are forfeit!' '\"We have no King.' said the hidden voice. 'Go quickly, or share the fate of your com- rad.'\" To be Continued. The Only Way To Go!

Send your entries to the Coast News, Box 460, Gibsons. Last week's winner was Carol Skinner of Dogwood Road in Gibsons who correctly located the pictured windmill as being on Cochrane Road in Gibsons. cessary to my survival in this \"New Land\". There were some tough and soul-wrenching decisions to be made and, being young and remarkably foolish, 1 mostly kept what I should have discarded and vice versa. As an example, I simply couldn't part with my suit of plus fours and brown brogues although I never had been on a golf course nor had a club in my hand and, at this stage with only $7 to my name, it was extremely unlikely I would be taking up this sport in Ihe immediate future. Oh yes, I kept my newly acquired fur lined coal and ditto boots. I eventually landed down on Queen Street and sure enough there were many of these establishments with the Three Halls displayed prominently outside. To anyone who is familiar with these places it is not necessary to describe what 1 went through in trying to dispose of one steamer trunk and one suitcase full of good clothes that I had brought from the Old Country, including an almost new blue serge suit tailored by my Uncle Charles shortly before I left. According to these Shylocks everything I had was obsolete and worth practically nothing, not even the suitcase which was genuine pigskin leather. I got so G- damned mad I almost got into a fight with some of these bastards but, after traipsing around from place to place and being offered less and less, I capitualted and sold the whole shebang for $12. Completely exhausted and feeling in the need of some liquid refreshment, I was in for the rudest shock of all! Unknown to me, Canada, with the exception of Quebec and I think one Maritime Province, had followed the example of her southern neighbour and gone \"dry\". In other words, Prohibition was in force and there were no beer parlours, taverns or liquor stores. The only way one could obtain a drink with an alcoholic content was to get a doctor's prescription! Whether this sorry state of affairs was entirely due to the W.C.T.U. or was the wish of the majority I had no inclination to find out at the time, but I cursed and raged and was almost on the point of buying a ticket back to good old Montreal right there and then but, in my shaky financial condition, reason prevailed. I got a cheap room right off Queen Street, had a substantial meal and went to bed. Incidentally on this street of broken dreams the meals were even cheaper than in Montreal. I had soup, meat pie, two vegetables, choice of apple, raisin or coconut cream pie, bread and butter and all the coffee I could drink for 25 cents. Next morning right on the dot of 9:00 a.m. I was at the Employment Office, one of many in the city, and found much to my surprise that, apart from farm labour, there were very few jobs available. With the exception of my idyllic summer holidays down at Acton Farm in Kent, England, during my school years, I knew nothing about farming and I certainly had no desire to learn more. Although I was aware of the difference between a cow and a bull, (the former had teats but I had never pulled one) I couldn't drive horses and knew nothing ofthe intricacies of raising little piglets to adulthood and I had absolutely no wish for work of this type. I had t he urge to go out prospecting for gold, becoming a cowboy and riding the lonely range (this probably due to Arthur's stories) or I would even settle for a job as a lumberjack felling massive trees and riding the logs fearlessly down raging rapids, anything but the dull, prosaic life of a farmer. In the next couple of days I combed the city seeking more employment offices to visit and became more and more discouraged. I even reached the point when I considered selling the gold watch my parents had given me when I passed my exams and also considered returning to Quebec, where I could at least assuagemy thirst, when a sudden stroke of luck came my way. 1 had stopped at a construction site on the outskirts of the city where a huge building was in the process of being erected and inquired if they had any work for a young, strong, energetic lad of 18 years of age.

I replied truthfully that I was not but needed work desperately, so he advised me to leave the city and its environs where the jobs were highly competitive and go elsewhere. On my request to know where, he suggested I try the Brantford area where, so he had heard, there was a great deal of road building going on and work would probably be available. Well, I headed in the general direction of Brantford and to this day I am not certain if I should have thanked that good-hearted soul or cursed him as I got work all right but it turned out to be Ihe hardest, most back breaking kind I have ever experienced in my over seven decades of living, ^P but more about that at a later f date.

The above picture shows one of the many magnificent mountain ranges which border the Sunshine Coast. The local Tetrahedron Ski Club is named after a similar peak. During the winter, the Club concentrates mainly on cross country *\"\" TO DECORATE, OR Spring fever strikes in the most amazing ways. Some people get moved to clean out the basements and cupboards of a home, some roll up their sleeves and start painting and wallpapering, and some decide to sell their present homes and look ever onward for either a bigger and better home, or in some cases, a smaller and more compact home to suite a changing lifestyle. Often, all three of these moves coincide, and the decision to sell encourages the decison to clean, paint and redecorate. If you're celebrating the passage of winter with this three-fold action, consider you redecoration plans very carefully. Licensed sales personnel associated with the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver remind you that when you're planning to sell your existing home, over-decoration can be hazardous to a home's resale value. Colours and styles that please you may displease a potential purchaser. Regardless of the care and expense you employ in decorating, the kind of wallcovering, floor covering, colours and styles you choose could turn off potential customers. Just because you have a penchant for contemporary, or if flocked red and black wallpaper turns you on, they may not say \"buy\" to the people who come to view your home for sale. A good rule is to go easy, lone skiing, finishing off with a swim at the local indoor pool to relax tired muscles. In the summer time the club arranges camping, hiking and canoe trips. Pholograph by Manuane Joe, NOT TO DECORATE down self expression in the main living areas of your home, and contain your wild bouts of colour and way out wallpaper to areas that are small enough that change doesn't represent a major redecoration expense to a potential buyer. Today's trend is to neutral colours such as browns, creams, beige and autumn tones. Greyed dusty tones of green, blue, peach or carmel are \"in\", according to interior designers, and these can be suited to almost any decoration theme or teamed with most existing furniture. If you want to express your personality in decorating, consider the down-the-road re-sale potential first. Employ your penchant for colour in patterned furniture pieces, bright coloured drapes or accent pieces. Walls needn't be left white; you can give them tones of colour by using a light tint of your dominant colour to change the bright white of your background. Keep it delicate, using the depth of colour in furniture and accent pieces that you can take wilh you if you move, leaving only a tasteful reminder of your decorating sense to new owners. With a little care you can enjoy a real sense of style in your home while you are living in it and still present it to potential buyers wilh price, knowing you are not imposing impossible decoration problems on them al the lime of resale.
