Coast News, August 16,1977 Granthams wants water referendum \"I'd rather see you go to referendum, myself. This way is just pitting neighbour against neighbour.\" The words were those of Area \"F\" Director Bernie Mulligan as he addressed 7 a meeting of Granthams residents under the auspices of the Granthams Landing Improvement District held last Saturday, August 13th in the Granthams Landing Community Hall. Also present from the Regional Board were Ed Johnson, Regional Director for Area \"E\" and a Hopkins resident, Gordon Dixon, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD/Works Superintendent for the Regional Board. At issue in the often stormy meeting was the controversial water question. In April.of this year the executive of the Granthams Landing Improvement District had invited the Regional Board to take Over the Granthams Landing water system. Many residents of Granthams objected to this invitation and felt that the meeting at which the close vote to join the Regional water system had been taken had been inadequately publicized and there were further contentions made at the August 13th meeting that there had been voting irregularities at the April meeting. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD=& Chairman Mrs. A. White opened the meeting by reading 'a letter from the Regional Board assuring the residents of the Granthams area that there was no wish on the part of the Regional \" Board to take over the land which housed the present Granthams Water System. The Regional Board agreed to the Granthams Landing Improvement District's wish to retain the land, since the Regional Board has no need for it in any water tie-in. It was Mrs. White's intention after the reading of the Regional Board letter to invite Regional Director Mulligan to address the meeting and explain with Works Superintendent Dixon's assistance what the Regional Board could offer by way of an improved water system to the area. This intention, however was set aside by a motion from the floor, made by Miss, Edna West, that the question of Granthams joining the Regional Board should go to Water System was of no concern to the Regional Board but a matter for the people of Granthams to resolve. At the beginning of their presentations both Mulligan and Works Superintendent Dixon had to endure constant heckling and accusations of lying but the meeting gradually settled down and eventually intelligent, concerned questions were being asked and the answers listened to. . Among the main points made by the Regional Board people was the question of fire protection. It was pointed out that the Fire Underwriters Association recommended a water pressure of 400 gallons per minute for residential areas. The pressure in the Granthams area, as outlined in a letter.from Assistant Fire Chief Carl Horner of the Gibsons Volunteer Fire Department, Was given as 55 gallons per minute at the top of the referendum. .-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD 1We> are not \"here ^ Granthams hill and SS.gallons.at to listen to any guests,'\" said the bottom ofthe hill.. - . Miss West.\" After an intense procedural wrangle the motion to go to referendum was made by Mrs. Turnbull and seconded by Miss Scott. The heat produced by the procedural wrangle induced Regional Director Mulligan to make his remarks about the desirability of referendum when he finally was allowed to fake the floor to explain the Regional Board's position. Mulligan In his address to the meeting Mulligan emphasized that the Regional Board had entered into discussions of providing the water system for Granthams only after being invited to do so by the Granthams Landing Improvement District. Any dispute within the membership of the district of the legality of the meeting which had arrived at the vote to tie-in with the Regional District Doefish tickets selling well Tickets are selling briskly for the first ever Dogfish Derby, to be held In Gibsons on Saturday,' August 20th, 1977. The novel idea has apparently caught the fancy of the local people In this, its inaugural run. The top prize of $1,000 for the largest dogfish caught, the numerous prizes for hidden weights and the booby prize for the largest salmon Inadvertently caught, have combined to stir up local interest - that plus the often-expressed opinion that the more of the troublesome dogfish taken from local waters the better for all concerned. The ease with which dogfish can be caught and the number of hidden prizes being offered ensures that everyone that puts a line in the water on August 20th stands a fair chance of getting a prize. Even if prizes are not forthcoming it is almost certain that everyone entered will have an enjoyable day of fishing and suspense, waiting until the actual weigh-in to discover whether or not they have qualified for a prize. Bob Clothier of the C.B.C. series \"The Beachcombers\" will officiate at the Government Wharf as Chief Weigh-in Master with a crew of eight officials to assist him. This novel fishing derby has been greeted with approval by Fisheries and Environmental people and with delight by every fisherman, sports or commercial, who has ever had a day's fishing spoiled by an abun- , dance of the coastal pests. See the article inside for more information on the dogfish and its use in various parts of the world. Meanwhile the organizers of the Dogfish Derby, while gratified by the early response and the brisk sale of tickets, hasten to assure us that many tickets are still available. So if you are interested in a fun day's fishing with a difference pick up your ticket at one of the many stores in Gibsons carrying them. Also planned for the festive day is a Dogfish Barbecue at the Government Wharf being run by Jerry Boswinkle and Helene Wallinder. Ralph Harding will also be supervising a baron of beef stand at the wharf. The Coast Ne^s cools off The unrelenting heat got to the staff of the'Coast News last week and sent the bulk of them leaping off the wharf in Gibsons. John Smith of Smitty's J Marina was on hand to capture the damp crew j splashing happily in Gibsons Harbour. Regional Board hear! petitions from Davis Bay and Pender Harbour..

At the conclusion of the presentations made by Mulligan and Dixon, the Regional Board representative left the hall. The meeting wound down with the election of trustees to replace resignations and agreed on September 10th' as the date of the referendum which would be the course of action to be taken by the Granthams Landing Improvement District with regards to their water supply.

Association also withdrew its sponsorship of the proposed tennis courts in the Wilson Creek, area. The Community Association felt that they preferred to approach the tennis courts in a more restricted, community fashion. Also present at the August 11th meeting was John West- wood who is proposing the cluster housing development at Canoe Pass. In explaining his proposal Westwood assured council \"We are certain that health regulations will be respected.\" In another development dealt with at the August 11th meeting, the application of H. Carter for rezoning in the Sakinaw Lake area to allow the construction of a small marina was recommended for approval. Originally Carter had asked for the rezoning of a thirty-acre parcel. Subsequently this request had been reduced to eight acres. Director Paterson of Area \"A\" cautioned in regard to this request for rezoning that \"This is a valuable lake with a coho run and a sockeye run. We don't want it contaminated anymore than can be helped.\" Trailers Water is shown leaking from the bottom of the water tank which services Granthams Landing. The water tank is located on Reid Road. The board also heard a presentation from a Pender Harbour area resident, supported by Director Paterson which complained about the use of travel trailers on residential lots being used for dwelling places without adequate provision being made for sewage disposal. It was the contention that such use of residential lots had the effect of lowering the value of the residential lots in the vicinity. Director Paterson stressed that this was indeed a serious problem in the area. \"It's getting to look like Hogan's Alley up there,\" he said. The board recommended that Director Paterson and the planning staff get together to draw up regulations to clarify the issue. The Regional Board also voted to rezdne portions of District Lots 1462 and 1463 in the Avalon Creek section of Area \"F\" to Industrial 4 to allow Rivtow Straits to go ahead with a proposed dry-land log sort operation. In the Middlepoint area it was recommended by Director Paterson that proposed rezoning in that area from a half-acre density to five acres to ensure a low residential density be turned down. I The by-law was allowed subsequently to remain as it is with zoning calling for half-acre lots. excess was felt to exist. One of the major items questioned was the proposed new community hall for. Roberts Creek. The board members felt that the proponents of the new hall should come back to the board with some realistic kind of assessment of the occupancy that such a large hall could expect. In another development the Sunshine Coast Minor Lacrosse Association withdrew its application for financial aid saying in part \"It would appear that our efforts have been in vain.\" Of particular concern to the association was what they termed the complete lack of playing facilities, though it is understood that a box lacrosse facility would have been available at the Sechelt Indian Reserve. The association said that it would turn its equipment over to a local organization in hopes that minor lacrosse might still take hold in the area. The Wilson Creek Community QUESTION: What do you think \" of the Dogfish Derby? Police news Two major traffic accidents occurred last week, one involving a fatality. On Friday at 1:45 a.m. four miles north of Sechelt on Highway 101, a car driven by Graham Straghan of Sechelt left the road, hit the ditch and then stopped in the middle of the highway. The passenger, Sharon Lawson, also of Sechelt, died from injuries received. Two people are in St. Mary's Hospital in satisfactory condition after a motorcycle accident on the Davis Bay hill last Wednesday. A car was making a right hand turn into a driveway, the driver of the motorcycle was confused and tried to pass on the right. A Vancouver youth was picked up on Gabriola Island by the Nanaimo police after stealing a 13 foot boat in Secret Cove. He is thought to be responsible for thefts from boats in Schooner Cove. i&fV*.

C. Telephone Company said today that long-distance charges on calls between Sechelt and Pender Harbour will be dropped starting Monday, August 29th. Company customer service manager, Stan Patterson said preparations for the extended toll-free calling began shortly after telephone customers in the two communites approved a referendum taken September 1975. Sechelt and Pender Harbour telephone subscribers voted in favour of the proposal which will be accompanied by an increase in monthly exchange rates. \"Implementation of toll-free calling for Pender Harbour cus tomers,\" said Mr. Patterson, \"will mean an increase of SI.60 for a private residential line. $1.20 for a two-party residential line, and 80 cents for multiparty users.\" For business subscribers it will mean an increase of $6.45 for a private line and $3.20 for a business party line. For those in Sechelt, the removal of long-distance charges to Pender Harbour will .bring an increase of 40 cents for a private residential line, 30 cents for a two-party residential line, and 25 cents for residential\"' multiparty lines. Business lines will go up $1.65 for private service and 80 cents for party line service. MR. F.MASON Bals Lane, Gibsons \"It's a great idea. We have far too many dogfish around.

CNA Full marks must be awarded to Bernie Mulligan, Area \"F\" Regional Board Director and to Gordon Dixon, Works Superintendent, for their efforts on behalf of the Regional Board at the Granthams Landing Improvement District meeting held on August 13th. They were present, along with Ed Johnson of Area \"E\", at the invitation of the Granthams Landing Improvement District trustees to explain the service that the Regional Board was offering in the controversial proposed tie-in of the Granthams water system with the Regional water system. Initially the meeting can only be described as highly hostile to the Regional Board representatives. In fact, in a display which can only be described as boorish and ill-mannered, many of those present seemed intent in refusing audience to the men from the Regional Board. Having made their minds up, it seemed, they had no wish to have their conclusions confused with an input of fact. The invited guests were kept waiting an unconscionable long time at the end of the hall while the residents of Granthams quarrelled amongst themselves about the format the meeting should take. Surely there is a case to be made here for a drawn-up agenda and a chairman with a knowledge of Roberts Rules of Order and a willingness to make use of thegayel. In any event the hall was frequently in uproar with virtually no-one listening to anyone except their especial allies. Mulligan and Dixon waited patiently and when they were finally allowed to explain what services could be provided in the long term by the regional water system endured stoically various interruptions which would have looked childish at a Grade Four class meeting and various accusations of lying and chicanery for which they might have been forgiven if they had lost their poise. They did not lose their poise, and Mulligan in particular, since he was first up to speak, did much to defuse the tension by insisting simply in speaking common sense to the point where only the hard-core irrationals could refuse to hear. If the people of Granthams insist on a referendum by all means let them have it, said Mulligan. Obviously the feelings in the community were running too high for the oldest democratic procedure of a show of hands and public debate to be a valuable exercise. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe water issue Quite apart from the embarrassing show of bad manners and the lack of a grasp of even the most fundamental decencies of public debate, however, the meeting was notable for the similarity with the public meeting which took place in Gibsons recently. Once again the Regional Board, which is often portrayed as being irrationally hostile to development, was being seen as the ogres who were planning development and instituting change to benefit exploiters. Once again the distaste for change from time- honoured practices was allowed to get out of hand to the point where irrationality was the order of the day. How is one to understand the attitude of people who hear that their water system can produce only fifty-five gallons per minute for fire-fighting when the recommended minimum for residential safety is four hundred gallons per minute and yet refuse to hear the pleas of the volunteer firemen who may be asked to save residential lives at the risk of their own? And who refuse to hear these pleas when a low-cost and vastly superior alternative is available? Surely it is not saying too much to say that if one house or one life were saved in the future because of the improvement in the water supply and pressure then the change would have been proved to be worthwhile. Meanwhile, it bears repeating that Mulligan, a man who appears to be growing with the job, and Dixon comported themselves with patience and dignity last Saturday night. For the people of Granthams Landing, it might be fair to say that if the only stances that can be summoned up on public issues are apathy or irrational anger then the outlook for democracy would be very poor indeed. If it's a referendum you're after, by all means have one. It is to be hoped that the decisions you make in the polling booth are arrived at with more rationality than many of the attitudes in evidence in the Granthams Landing Community Hall last Saturday night. ...from the files of Coast Nomb 5YEARS AGO At the Twilight: Twiggy in the Boy Friend.

Peterson Slings & Arrows George Matthews Musings John Burnside Everybody should have a favourite uncle, of that 1 am convinced. Growing up in Ayrshire in what the sociologists might call an extended family situation I had many uncles and cousins. My mother's brothers were my favourites, however, and of the two particularly my Uncle Will. Like all of my relatives, he w_as a coal miner and, at five fgjjt ten inches and powerfully bug* he was a big man for a miner. I say 'was' not because he is no longer with us but because he is no longer a miner. 'Big Wull\" as he was known to his workmates, was the man we, as boys, loved to take walks with'. Like many of the miners he had a dog always which he used for catching rabbits and the dogs were always models of alert, intelligent responsiveness. I can remember on one of my trips back to Scotland, perhaps in 1962, we went out for a walk, probably of six or eight miles duration. It was that rare day when no rabbits could be raised and he particularly wanted to show me his dog, Tweed, in action. At the far point of the walk he accepted the fact that there was to be no sport that day. \"Watch this!\" he said, and dropped a glove. The dog was foraging on the nearby hillside a hundred yards or so away and he made no effort to draw its attention to the dropped glove but walked on without further comment about the glove. About an hour and a half later as we approached the door of his home he broke off the story he was telling me and said to the dog \"Haw Tweed, away ye go and get my glove.\" The dog looked up alertly and then was off, nose to the ground on the back track. We had barely finished our first cup of tea when she was back, delighted and with glove in mouth. His skill with dogs was remarkable in a place and at, a time when well-trained dogs were everywhere. But walks with my Uncle Will were remarkable not only for his dogs and his skill. He was a raconteur of great energy and recall and a walk with him was a constant delight of anecdotes and stories of the village and its people. He took a bluff and kindly, exuberant delight in people and their foibles. Though his wife insisted that he was a shy man, he was inevitably called upon to M.C. social occasions, which he did with great charm, humour and personal presence. He sang, too, in a strong rich baritone. His walking days are over now,' for reasons I will mention, but still to take a car ride with him is to be entertained from beginning to end. The stories roll out with all their old richness and insight, the songs come melodic and strong. He recites the poetry of his country with clarity and feeling - and he teases and kids continually. Less mobile now. he entertains himself by collecting tapes of the songs of Scotland and his knowledge of them has become encyclopaedic. There were eleven years between visits to Scotland for me when I went last year. Much had changed and much had remained the \"same.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD- My Uncle Will, I had been informed by letter, had had a long battle with illness. A respiratory ailment had made it necessary for him to take cortisone continually and the side-effects of the medication had affected his circulation to the point where he lost first one leg from the knee down then shortly after that the other. There were no more walks to be taken with Uncle Will. But among the things that hadn't changed were his zest for living and the high good humour with which he confronted every day. Undiminished, too, was his independence. He lived alone in his own place just down the road from where he lived when I first knew him and a visit with him was the same rich, warm entertaining experience it had always been. He had a little invalid car which he drove around the countryside, visiting and cheering up others who were left alone after a lifetime of companionship or depressed because of lengthy battles with infirmity. And what a tonic the elderly and infirm must have found him. \"If Wull Dalziel can be that cheerful after what he's been through andwithnolegs...\" Once when I arrived to visit him I found him with an invalid car that wouldn't start and striving to push it on his artificial feet. Often he would get up to leave and have to come back for the canes with which he got around. On another occasion he was looking after a farm for a farmer who had taken a rare day away to attend a daughter's 'wedding and when we arrived to visit we found him on his artificial legs on his way to the barn prepared to play midwife to a pregnant cow if such should prove to be necessary. All through my boyhood and young manhood he loomed as a figure that a man could emulate. The boundless good humour, the integrity, the innate dignity of a good worthy man who deserved the accolade of \"one of nature's gentlemen.\" At moments of crisis he was always central in the family's affairs. When my father died and my brother and I had gone to meet my sister returning from England it was Uncle Will who met us at the bus stop. Instinctively I knew and moved ahead to let the adults talk. Shortly there was the large hand on my shoulder and the well-loved voice: \"Your daddy's away, son.\" He has been a life-long teetotaller: \"Ach I had the notion when I was about seventeen but my mates weren't interested. Six months later they were hard at it but I'd lost the notion. I've never felt the need since. Mind you, I can see where some folk have trouble getting loosened up and 1 don't begrudge them' their wee hauf, as long as they don't abuse it and themselves.\" This, then, is by way of being a simple tribute to a man who gave me much. A man who taught by example, and still so teaches, that it is possible to make one's way through this troubled vale with a song and a story, that great strength of body and character are reconcilable with modesty and kindliness, that a man could walk with erect dignity whatever his station in life or the troubles that beset him. Would that every child could have such a model. And Uncle Will, over there in Muir- kirk where I was born, if it has seemed at times that I was no worthy student, be assured that I haven't stopped trying. The poem on this page this week, in simple Scottish verse, is his and regrets the lost walks. I was present at a conversation with my uncle and an old friend last year when the two old men observed that the young folk didn't roam the hills and moors as had their generation. \"They don't know what they're missing,\" said the friend. \"You're right,\" said Uncle Will. \"But by God, sir, I know what I'm missing.\" The poem, like the man, expresses regret - but never self-pity. What ever happened to the revolution? Ten years ago I was assured by any number of people that \"the Revolution\" was at hand. The Marxist-Leninists said with the confidence of inner knowledge that it was no more than five years away. The Trot- skyites with predictable fervor and polemic hysteria were working on a two year time table. I would guess maybe a hundred people told me about \"the Revolution\"; friends, acquaintances, people I didn't even know. I didn't ask, I made it a point not to ask', I didn't want to know about \"the Revolution\" what ever of when ever it was supposed to be. Once I asked what \"the Revolution\" was. The person I asked was an acknowledged expert on \"the Revolution\", he was a camplisi--Trotskyite,\" thfe^son of some wealthy Okanagan businessman, he smoked funny cigarettes, liked to take his clothes off and didn't wash very often. Obviously if anyone knew about \"the Revolution\" he would. \"Tell me Raul.\" (he called himself Raul pronounced Raool. His real name was Chuck but he was trying to forget his old name along with the fact that he played football in high school.) \"When the revolution comes what's it going to be like?'' \"Far out man\" (he was an English Major), \"I mean like out of sight, a whole new trip, I mean like the whole number, like barricades and like revelations like can you dig it? \" Ten years later that prophetic vision of \"the Revolution\" remains with me in all its pristine clarity. It wasn't quite like Raul said. It didn't take two years, it didn't take five. There were no barricades and no revelations. It was going on around us at the time and we didn't recognize it. The world is different than it was ten years ago, its upside down in many ways but when \"the Revolution\" came and went it was not what we had expected. I just got up one morning and realized that \"the Revolution\" had come. Even now, ten years later, in staid early middle age I see the wreckage'of \"the Revolution\" in. the strangest, most unexpected places.. The other day I had coffee with a fellow and his wife who were products, one might even say children of \"the Revolution\". There he sat, a youthful, handsome, physically fit fifty- three year old man on his way to work in a peasant shirt and dark tan. This man, believe it or not, took his wife out to breakfast every morning, or I should say they took one another out to breakfast (they were very liberated) so they could talk to one another. Sometimes they spend two or more hours at their meal, actually talking to one another. Now according to sociologists the average .. North... American couple spend about twenty-eight minutes a week talking at, not to, each other and sixty percent of that \"talk\" is giving directions or orders. Here were a middle aged man and his wife who had a standing \"date\" for breakfast so they could talk. What, you ask, could an old married couple possibly find to talk about for all that time? Well, they talked about their Yoga classes, their squash game, their jogging program, their latest \"encounter\" group, how they felt that day and all kinds of other things. They spent a great deal of time talking about things that you might call \"personal development\". They talked about personal freedom, individual integrity and growing. What's revolutionary about a man talking to his wife? The thing that struck me as unique was that the things they shared and talked about and did together and separately were products of a new consciousness that has developed in the last ten years. Ten years ago this scene would not have been played out. It was \"revolutionary\". Although we didn't recognize it at the time, what \"the Revolution\" was all about was per- Condnued on Page 3 ^SSSSSSS@SS^SSSSgsss&SSSSSSS& MEMORIES by William Dalziel *&'&*&.<&*^^ >\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD S_ So on I went up past the Slack j\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Wi' steps that never/altered 3\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD S Igaeda walk the ither night That I of times gaed afore But this time it was different Ijist opened memoires' door.

The revolutions for religious freedom had been played out centuries ago, the revolution for economic freedom had been fought with more or less success, the revolutions for political freedom have been won with greater or lesser success at least in this part of the world and now the revolution for personal freedom is drawing to a close, for some people successfully for others,' unsuccessfully. Many people didn't recognize it and didn't want it but for those who did the world has changed for the better because of it. . Having lived through this revolution I suspect that all revolutions are the same in that they, represent different things to different people. Right now we're engaged in the less dramatic but nevertheless essential task of cleaning up the excesses of the revolution. Overly liberal approaches to criminality, sexuality, drug abuse and so on are being restructured to fit with the post-revolutionary era. As for Raul, (its been Chuck for years now) his revolution came but he didn't recognize it. I'm sure he's not the only car dealer in Vancouver who smokes funny cigarettes, likes to take his clothes off in public and is his own Guru. Ten years ago he would have been labelled an eccentric for his lifestyle, today he's just another citizen and that's what \"the Revolution\" was all about. LETTERS to the Matthews criticized Editor: I was not a little surprised and dismayed to observe crass misuse ofthe English language in George Matthews' column, SUngs and Arrows, in the Sunshine Coast News of August 9, 1977. Surely it was not necessary for George to demean the English language 'because he was writing of life in a logging camp. \"Me\" can only serve as the subject of a sentence in' the way I have just used it. Under any normal circumstances it has to be the object. For a subject, \"I\" (or \"we\") is necessary. It simply is not correct to write or say something such as, \"Me have read the newspaper\", or, \"Give the newspaper to I\". The fact that such abuse of the English language as appears in George's first sentence, \"...me and \"the kid\" were setting chokers...\" is by no means uncommon and in no way mitigates this ugly flaw. Perhaps the best known example of this disregard for correct usage is in the popular song, \"Beth\" by' a group called Kiss, \"me and die boys...\" Well. whatever, it was they were doing, \"the boys and . I\" is the required phrase. It is to be regretted that popular songs are sometimes replete with such examples of incorrect English, an obviously unsalutary influence on young people. I think that the readers of the Sunshine Coast News have come to expect a high standard of English in this newspaper, and I trust that such blatant abuse of the language will not be permitted again to stain its pages.

Coast News, August 16,1977 THE VIEW FROM FINNING TRACTOR A couple of months back, I was driving with a friend through the industrial jungle that has flourished in the upper False Creek area around Main Street since much further back than my memories reach. As we tooled through this unpretty conglomeration of warehouses, factories, and storage-yards, we happened to pass the Finning Tractor complex, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDt several-block sprawl of buildings and assorted heavy- equipment. The latter ranged from the inevitable tractors to new-fangled log-loading devices of types I'd never seen before outside of ads. All were painted, however, that same, familiar, lurid yellow. \"Ever tell you I used to work for them?\" I asked my friend. \"Don't think so,\" he replied without much interest. \"When the hell was that?\" \"Oh, about twenty-eight years back,\" I said with a wince of disbelief that it had actually been that long. But there is no conning the calendar and it was in the chilly winter of 1948-49, that I offered my dubious services to Finning. The company was much smaller then and was located in a very long, narrow structure that jutted out into the wasteland of the False Creek Flats, at right angles to Station Street and close to the Great Northern train depot. I'd secured the job through the Unemployment Insurance which performed that . function in those days. The benefits then were so abyssmally Pages from a Life-Log Peter Trower small, I was glad to get back to work. The feeling of gladness did not last for long. I was . hired for a six-month probationary-period and put to work in 'the warehouse. It involved a fair amount of lifting and shifting but I was young and skookum. The labour as such, didn't bother me. It was the characters I had to work under. The two regular warehousemen and my'; direct bosses, were a couple of cynical, ill-natured bastards with little patience and less humour. They got on my case from almost the first day and rode me unmercifully. In all truth, I was probably a bit slow on the uptake but I wasn't lazy. This cut no ice with them and they ordered me around like a dog. I couldn't afford to quit so I suffered their abuse in silence. I can see their sneering faces and hear their sarcastic voices to this day. Had I been forced solely to work with the scornful warehousemen, I couldn't possibly have stuck Finning for long. Fortunately, I was delegated to spend at least half my time in the Receiving Department away from my tormentors. The 'department' consisted of one man, a congenial fellow called Roy with whom I got along much better. He was a slight, blonde youth with - thank God! - a. sense of humour.

About two-hundred feet distant and directly parallel to Finning Tractor, was a Chinese wholesale vegetable warehouse of similar construction. Against the warehouse, lay a large barrel on its side. The first morning I worked with him, Roy pointed this out to me. \"Keep an eye on that barrel,\" he advised cryptically. I had no idea what in hell he meant but every so often, I threw a glance at the enigmatic cask through the open bay door. Suddenly to my astonishment, the barrel moved slightly and something black began to emerge from the hidden open end. It was like watching the first Martian extruding from its cylinder in H.G. Well's War of the Worlds. I gazed goggle-eyed as a human hermit-crab crawled free from his wooden shell and rose shakily to his feet. He was a small wino of indeterminate age or race, unbelievably hairy, ragged and scrofulous. The grubby apparition relieved himself casually against the wall, stretched, scratched and shuffled off towards Station Street to commence his unimaginable day. I'd never seen anything remotely like it in my life and I stood there in something akin to a state of shock. Roy nudged me, chuckling at my amazement. \"He lives there,\" he informed delightedly. \"That's his goddamn home!\" That was my introduction to the rubby-dubs of the False Creek Flats. Thereafter, I became as inveterate a wino-watch- er as Roy. The barrel-man repeated his performance almost on cue for about a week. Then one morning, we looked out and the barrel was gone along with its occupant. Perhaps the city health department had got wind of it. Or maybe the barrel-dweller had simply rolled his quarters away to a more-secluded location. It was a mystery we were never to solve. The barrel-man had vanished &.-.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD* h .' % Have some news i The Coast News welcomes social, church and entertainment news for clubs, lodges, hospital groups and service clubs.

They seemed to regard the flats as their personal back-yard. We used to watch them grubbing about for bottles and scrap metal which they could flog for a few cents to the Main Street junk-dealers. When they'd scrounged enough for a few cans of Sterno, several of them would head out across the barren flats in a grimy procession. Soon, far in the distance, you could see a thin plume of smoke rising as they lit their ritual fire. When I asked Roy what they were doing, he said they were heating.the Sterno, straining it through a sock and drinking the resultant concoction. The thought of Sterno or anything else strained through a wino's sock still makes me gag. 1 never regarded the rubby- dubs as much more than a source of entertainment until one day when I was walking out to Main Street to catch the bus. My route took me past an incredibly rundown flophouse, long since fallen prey to the wreckers. I was almost level with the door when a wino came pitching crazily down the narrow staircase and landed in a huddle at my feet. He lay there like a broken doll in a tattered overcoat with white fluid drooling from the corner of his mouth. His stubbled face, relaxed in unconsciousness or death, wore an expression of utter incredulity. I hurried past him, too craven to get involved but from then on, 1 looked on the winos with more compassion. They had sunk about as far as it is possible to sink but somewhere underneath it all, they were still human beings. My sessions in the Receiving Department were pleasant enough but always soured by the knowledge that I must inevitably return to the demeaning abuse of the warehousemen. I decided to get another job and by faking a back injury, managed to wangle two weeks off with pay. I hung about downtown like a tourist but was unable to locate any other employment. When my illicit holiday was up, I returned disgruntledly to Finning. It was better than starving. Roy went on vacation (in his case, legally-entitled) and I was .put temporarily in his place) e\ o.

The first sees an all-star cast in Murder by Death, an original screenplay by the phenomenally successful writer of comedies, Neil Simon. The film is a spoof on the detective story genre and mystery buffs and movie fans alike should have a merry time with this film. The all-star cast boast three Oscar winners. Each of the sleuths in the film is based on a famous fictitional detective. No one will have any trouble in recognizing David Niven and Maggie Smith as the Thin Man and his lady; Peter Sellers is seen spoofing Charlie Chan; Peter Falk does an excellent Bogart imitation as Sam Spade; James Coco is seen as the effete Hercule Poirot; and Elsa Lan- chester as Miss Marple, another Agatha Christie detective. Added to this all-star roll of sleuths is Alec Guiness as a wacky blind butler, Nancy Walker as a deaf and dumb and equally wacky maid-cook, and Estelle Winwood as an invalid nurse. Truman Capote makes his acting debut as a millionaire eccentric who invites the group to solve a murder which hasn't been committed. The film, a real audience pleaser, will play the Twilight Theatre Wednesday through Saturday, August 17th -20th. The second film of the week, The Confessions of a Driving Instructor, is one of those saucily irreverent comedies that the British studios turn out seemingly with little effort. It will run Sunday through Tuesday, August 21st to 23rd. For those who like light-hearted antics with a dash of spice, this one will make light-hearted summer-time viewing.

Apparently, some light-fingered lad in the Shipping Department had been pilfering Timken bearings from the shelves and selling them as a sideline. It was inventory-time and when the stock was checked, the missing items were discovered. Since I had signed for some of them, I was blamed. The personnel-manager summoned me to his office. \"I don't think you're cut out for this sort of work, Trower,\" he said sadly as he handed me my walking papers. I didn't really think I was cut out for it either. My brother Chris had just returned from a logging-camp and when he hired-out again, I went along with him.

The miniatures now showing at The Estuary, Gower Point, are developed from musings and doodlings like those of her larger works, but being very small, they draw the viewer to look at them closely as at a small watch. They even resemble watches in that they hang from time-piece fobs. Pauline's work, she says, has been influenced by middle eastern art, the traditional Persian illuminated paintings with their intense flat colours and lavish use of gold leaf, and by the filigree of their complicated archi tecture. She has also and studied the lively admired work of L_ Bear Marian Engel McClelland & Stewart- Bantam Ltd. This is the recent novel where the heroine takes a bear for a lover. It's already a bestseller, it's won the Governor-General's Award, and it reads like the script for the major motion picture that it will undoubtedly become. Do you think you can bear it? A wistful middleaged woman named Lou is working as a provincial government research assistant. She leads a dull, empty, loveless life, shuffling cards and maps, burrowing into \"...wooden filing cabinets and very old, brown photographs of unlikely people.\" Once a week she has a discreet liason with the director on top of her desk, but somehow this doesn't seem to be fulfilling. Then the government inherits a remote homestead on an island, and Lou is sent to catalogue the estate. Part of the estate, chained up to a shed in the back, is an old, large, smelly, brown ursus arctos. He eats dogfood. All the neighbours like him. It would be easy to dismiss this book as a sensational pornographic tale it's certainly explicit enough even by contemporary standards to merit that description, and as such, will undoubtedly gain a large audience. But the book operates, I think, on a deeper and more satisfying level. It participates in the extension of a very old myth - that of Beauty and the Beast, and in this capacity it achieves a certain timeless quality that will speak it its readers in words of distant racial memories. Tersely well-written, it avoids being preposterous. In some ways understated, it elicits a fondness that is hard to deny.

Consumers who last year had difficulty with faulty home canning closures shouldn't experience that problem this season, says Ann Thomassen, Food Consultant with the Food Advisory Division of Agriculture Canada. The division has been involved in research which has lead to new standards for metal and plastic jar lids used in home canning of food. The specifications, now in effect should offer home canners a standard of quality. Reference to the performance standard, should be marked on the package, along with instructions on preparation and use of the lids. \"Consumers were complaining that some closures either failed to give airtight seals or the seals let go during storage.\" To discover which closures were faulty, the Food Advisory Division tested each brand of home canning closure available on the Canadian market. They tested pint and quart jars, using the open kettle, boiling water bath and pressure canner methods. \"We tried to cover all the conditions which might occur in home canning.'' Ms. Thomassen and a summer student with the division were involved in testing for nearly a month during the summer of 1976. Two dozen of each brand of closures were tested and examined for an intact seal after one day, two weeks and four weeks. The standards of performance were issued by the Canadian Government Specifications Board after the testing and as a result some lids are no longer available on the market. Representatives of both the manufacturers and government met to set the standards. Ms. Thomassen notes that testing of the closures will be ongoing and the Food Advisory > Division will continue to be involved. The Product Safety Branch of Consumer and Corporate Affairs will ite enforcing compliance with the standards. A few weeks ago we ran a picture of Flume Creek at the junction of Flume Road and Highway 101 as part of our Guess Where contest. Dramatic evidence of our long hot summer is afforded by this view of the same waterfall taken last week. It is reported that several wells have gone dry in the area. ***** ********** * **\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD**\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD* *** pF^ Ellingham 's ^ Astrology *********************************** Coast News, August 16,1977. 5. Fishing Charter Special Week commencing August 16th. General Notes: Jupiter is about to enter the sign of Cancer and remain there for roughly a year. Consequently, we can expect opportunity and change in areas of our lives which may have become stagnant. This planet's change of location is often a pleasant boost for everyone. The hotel and catering industry particularly enjoys better business when Jupiter transists Cancer. Let's hope so. This week starts out rather jittery with much restlessness, petty worries, and general muddles. Luckily, Mars and Saturn are helpfully aligned, restoring a sense of stability and indicating an excellent time for getting things started. Babies born at the beginning of this week should be encouraged (no joking) to digest their food properly whilst weekend newcomers are likely to be practical, realistic, and a littie eccentric. Good luck, kids. ARIES: (March21 -Apia 19) Act on all messages deliberately. Opportunities to improve domestic conditions on a long- term basis are due soon. A shaky start at work for those employed. TAURUS (April 20 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD May 20) Practical cash-making ideas begin to crystallize. Expect to -feel much more broadminded in the next few months. A social . event could be more of a worry than a pleasure. GEMINI (May 21 - June 21) Despite restless home conditions, an excellent week for consolidating small, personal matters. Fresh financial opportunities appear soon. Social life swings again. CANCER (June 22 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD July 22) Twelve months of opportunities are coming in thick and fast. Grab them while you can, Cancer, because it's your turn. Messages, phone calls, and visits are confusing this week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Another good week for seeking the assistance of friends to promote plans. Don't be side tracked by petty money worries that can be dealt with later. VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Early week worries should dissipate as your behind-the- scenes efforts are finally recognized and acclaimed. Expect many changes to fulfill your dearest hopes and wishes during the next twelve months. LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23) Don't ignore startling dreams experienced at this time. They are simply trying to direct you towards the best alternatives. Friends now begin to respect your more positive attitudes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Your status receives an extra boost but friends are still nervously waiting for straight-forward commitments and decisions. A deeper interest in personal skills, knowledge, and long distance travel will soon be felt. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 - Dec 21) A temporary muddle concerning your reputation may take a few days to sort out. The direct approach proves to be favorable. .Expect benefits through insurance or joint finances during the next 12 months. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Jan 19) Relationships are going to improve steadily during the next few months but don't jeopardize your recently earned respect by preaching your views and beliefs. This is a great week for sheer hard work and finishing off overdue projects. Get to it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Feb. 18) Somebody else's financial mess could take up much of your time and place you in an unexpected embarrassing situation. Straight talking seems to be the solution. Better employment ' opportunities and improved health coming up soon, Aquarius. PISCES (Feb. 19 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Mar. 20) Those close to you could haye a very confusing week and, once again, your beloved Piscean sympathy is drawn upon for support. Creativity, children, romance, and speculation are sources of enjoyment about to be experienced in the months ahead. $60 per day for 2 people Capacity 6 people gas & bait additional Skipper & Guide Craig Goodman 883-2343 Garden Bay, B.C.

The proprietor is Shelley Thompson, a Vancouver-born young lady embarked on her first business venture. The Music Weaver deals \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD in used books and used records, bought and traded. If you have a pile of old books that you're tired of or if your record collection has reached unmanageable proportions and you'd like a little fresh blood in it, take your books and records over to Shelley's and see what can be worked out. At the present time she is particularly anxious to increase her stock of records. Another aspect of the Music Weavers is that the store will sell musical instruments on consignment. If you have a flute or a guitar or what-have-you, the Music Weaver will look after it and sell it for you. Also stocked at the Music Weaver are guitars and guitar strings and harmonicas. Oh yes, and it's also a pleasant place to drop in and sit awhile to listen to a little music if you're in the Harbour area and would like to relax. The Music Weaver, just opened beside the bus depot, awaits your pleasure.

Dear Ann: What feature do you consider most important to the appearance? Is it hair style, clothes, makeup, or personality? What attracts the opposite sex? Unready Dear Unready: I always plunge in, I have an opinion. If you aren't interesting, who will notice all your efforts? Cleanliness basically. The eyes are the windows of the soul, hopefully you have warmth, are interested in others, a caring person attracts, a giving person brings out the generosity in others. One soon tires of the takers whether it's a taker of time, attention or material things. It has to bounce back and forth like a tennis ball. There is a fine balance. We show our affection for others in little gestures, a sharing of our windfalls, our time and skills. Then good care of teeth and nails, grooming is important. We don't want to touch or kiss anyone looking unkempt or dirty. So without being beautiful a person can be attractive, magnetic and well liked. The confidence a well-groomed person has gives them poise. So you see I do have an opinion. ^5'T^ 886-7215 H HAND MADE DEER ANTLER BUTTONS Uj J Crafts & Hobbies 886-2811 it Hobby Supply *\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Games & Toys <**$\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD>&.' * WINE ART Supplies REAL ESTATE * INSURANCE 1589 Marine Drive Gibsons, OFFICE: 886-2248 JOHN BLACK 886-7316 Peninsula Cleaners & Laundry Co/ffp/pfe.

Being new to the area I obviously can't understand all the issues and problems involved. There are however, several things that I do know. Firstly, the picture as painted in the column is much too simplistic in nature and in some areas completely inaccurate. Secondly, in the two months of my being here I have had complete co-operation and help from the doctors in Sechelt and Gibsons. Finally, articles such as last weeks do nothing to improve the situation but are in fact quite detrimental to the cause. E. F. Berinstein, M.D. God wouldn't have given us feet if he didn't mean for us to use them. Walk. .(XJ PMnopxrjon. Walk a MiH'Ic.TiHtay. Editor: In reference to the Pender Harbour Ratepayers Report on page 12 of the Coast News of August 9th, Trustees of the Pender Harbour and District Health Centre Society would like to point out an inaccuracy in reference to the Sechelt doctors. We would like to state that from the inception of the Clinic the doctors at Sechelt have cooperated with the Pender Harbour doctor to a high degree, even though there was no working agreement. Now that we have a satisfactory arrangement, rapport between the Pender Harbour doctor and the doctors in Sechelt is excellent. We would like also at this time to particularly thank Dr. Paetkau and Dr. Burtnick for their assistance in arriving at a reasonable solution.

Coast News, August 16,1977. Mrs. Ruth Macdonald - a good citizen by Francis J. Wyngaert Editor's Note: Long-time resident of this area Mrs. Ruth MacDonald - Mrs. Mac - passed away on May 18th of this year In Vancouver. A belated acknowledgement is perhaps better than none. And, for one who had rendered community wide service over a period of many years, it seemed justifiable that one respond to an appeal to reminisce at least a segment of bygone years. Born in Ireland March 3, 1890, Mrs. MacDonald was still a young mother of one son, Hugh, when settling at Gibson's Landing during the fall season, 1918; having moved west from Innisfail, Alberta. Her husband had died in the act of duty during World War I. During the years to follow one frequently heard the name Mrs. Ruth MacDonald. To those who came to know her intimately, she was \"Mrs. Mac\", a name which remained throughout the rest of her lifetime. Never was she addressed as Ruth. An exceptionally gifted person, Mrs. Mac could capably apply the use of her hands to various types of endeavour. Early training in Ireland had qualified her in a most talented way as a practical nurse, pianist, in home- cooking, as well as fancy work. As early as 1919 she commenced assisting Dr. Frederich Inglis on special occasions. While horse and buggy still reflected the mode of travel, Mrs. Mac accompanied the doctor annually during inspection of school children. This included Howe Sound School, two at Roberts Creek, one at Wilson Creek, Sechelt Indian Residential School, as well as the public school, then via fish- boat from Porpoise Bay on through the Skookumchuck to Egmont School. In addition to those listed, there was the Bowen Island School - and later Port Mellon. Shortly following this period, the horse was put out to pasture. Doctor Inglis purchased a motorcycle, made in Switzerland and having a Bosche engine. It was belt driven and where gravel road was reasonably good, a speed of 60 miles per hour could be attained. There were times of emergency when Mrs. Mac's assistance was sought, in which case she occupied seating space on the metal carriage at the rear of the doctor. With logging still very much in vogue at Howe Sound and district at large, injury to some workmen was not uncommon. Doctor Inglis was most appreciative of the knowledge and ability rendered by his assistant. She uttered few words. She knew what was required and made preparation for the occasion. There were instances when to sterilize a needle one held a table spoon with water in one hand, and applied ignited matches with the other to bring the minute amount of water to boiling point. On numerous occasions Mrs. Mac assisted in delivery of new born babes. Less than two years ago while the author and wife visited Mrs. Mac at Trinity Lodge i.*i Vancouver, she reiterated one such instance. It was winter with already a fair depth of snow. The call for medical aid came from a crudely built shack in a thickly wooded area rather far removed from the Sechelt Highway in Roberts Creek. Doctor Inglis, wearing thigh-high rubber boots, led the way, breaking a path through deep snow along the narrow trail. Mrs. Mac followed, wearing knee-rubbers belonging to the doctor's son Eric, but which Mrs. Inglis insisted be worn due to the unusual snow fall. Inside the dwelling, a candle forced into the neck of a beer bottle offered the only light. It was rather inadequate for the occasion. But, Doctor Inglis was not one to render complaint. Nevertheless, he asked for three things, a hammer, nail, and a piece of twine. Without further remarks he drove the nail into a ceiling rafter, fastened one end of the twine, and to the other end his flashlight, adjusting its height above the patient to attain the most suitable use for the occasion. But, to those who perhaps could be termed a select few, knowing this person as plain Mrs. Mac, one reflects upon early dance hall days when the piano and violin portrayed the extent of instruments used. Frequently, Mrs. Mac at the piano and Guy Fisher with violin were engaged for such occasions; but not always so. Mrs. Mac also enjoyed dancing, and particularly the quadrille. As the night wore on and the pianist wished to be relieved, it required such intimate acquaintances as Wilber or Frank Hicks to appeal to Mrs. Mac to come to the piano.. And, as she crossed that floor, the room echoed with the clapping of hands. All seemed highly appreciative of a special technique at the keyboard. Mrs. Mac witnessed youngsters growing up in the community, including those of Doctor Inglis. She saw the two sons, Hugh and Alan growing into young manhood; saw them leave for university, and again as they emerged as medical doctors, now prepared to relieve their \"father at Gibson's Landing. For a time they worked as a team, and again singly when brother Alan opened an office at Sechelt during the period 1949-52. He then returned to the Vancouver General Hospital for specialized studies. But, throughout, Mrs. Mac served as office nurse, attending to appointments, and the typing and mailing of statements, as well as assisting where otherwise required. While during the latter part of his profession Doctor Frederich Inglis did acquire a used X-ray machine, his sons supplemented with a more modern type. It followed that Dr. Hugh Inglis purchased the abandoned post office at the foot of School Road. The interior was renovated and re-opened as a medical clinic in 1963, with doctors from Sechelt tide tables STANDARD TIME Tue. Aug. 16 0005 0504 1205 0650 8.7 Sat.

While by no means seeking further public service, it appeared obvious that inadvertently she occasionally became involved. Prior to, and following operation of the first local funeral service offered by Wally Graham for the district at large, those who knew Mrs. Mac intimately, would cut flowers from their gardens, gather some background material for a wreath, and call at Mrs. Mac's home. There were aware of her ability to formulate an attractive wreath. If more suitable flowers were required she merely plucked them from her garden. All this devoid of remuneration. Mrs. Mac had served the community well, in addition to family responsibilities, when during the winter of 1922 her sister, Mrs. A. J. Ellison, who had come to Gibson's Landing only one year previous, died of pneumonia. For a time Mrs. Mac cared for the two young nieces, Molly and Peggy- It followed later that John' and Myrtle Hicks, both early settlers at Gibson's Landing, assumed charge of the two girls. It is some years now since Mrs. Mac moved from the district. Due to ill health she was confined indoors much of the time, but not without an honourable pastime - fancy work in a semblance of variety was always her favourite pastime. In later years it was the choice of appropriate coloured threads to apply a finishing touch to stamped designs on pillow cases. These made an attractive gift to some special person. She is gone now. To most folk locally she is unknown; to some she is remembered as Mrs. Ruth MacDonald; but to a select few, she is still spoken of as Mrs. Mac.

In central Illinois a large gray bird with a wing span of 10 to 12 feet has intermittently been sighted. In one instance it was reported to have attempted to carry off a 70 pound boy. In Davis Bay we have our own strange sightings. These are also gray, but quite a bit smaller. They are about the size of a pheasant and have a long tail with red highlights. This is not a bird indiginous to this country, and the only explanation seems to be that they have escaped from an aviary which was in the area several years ago.
