The popular Raging Grannies, dressed in red and white and carrying miniature flags, added a couple of their original ditties and several children joined the adults. In an interview with the Coast News, Catherine McManus said the idea originated with her father in Ontario who wrote a letter to the editor of the Ottawa Citizen. The letter put forth several ideas for solutions to problems facing the country and was chosen by the newspaper as their 'letter of the day'. It was picked up and reprinted by several smaller papers and elicited considerable response from readers. \"People kept phoning him and saying 'you sound as if you're thinking the way we are'\" said McManus. \"The upshot of it all was, several people got together to work out ways of positive action.\" McManus said the original organizing group wanted some kind of symbolic gesture that had nothing to do with royal commissions or any other official activity but something everyone could do in their own home towns. \"They decided that singing '0 Canada' on New Years day in front of a municipal building would be the perfect thing,\" she said. The idea caught on, with friends and family spreading the idea across the country, Groups of people gathered for little ceremonies in such widely scattered towns as Whitehorse and Gibsons. \"Sadly, 1 heard that the closer you got to Ottawa the more apathy there was,\" said McManus ruefully. \"Conversely, the further away, the more people care!\" McManus hopes that a new trend has been started. \"I talked to my father at the end of the day to compare notes,\" she said, \"and he said 'why don't we do it again at Easter?' \"1 think that's a good idea. With all the problems facing Canada in 1992 any opportunity for people to be positive is a good thing. I came away from our little ceremony realizing people really do care. We may fight and argue, but basically we get along (with each other).\" Coast residents of all ages sing at Gibsons town hall as part of a locally organized national effort to mend Canada's unity problems. Joel Johnstone photo Looking back on a year of controversy and change for the Coast The Sylvey family - Rob, May, and son Tyler - heralded the new year with a welcome to Krista Patricia Silvey, the first baby born on the Sunshine Coast in 1992. Resting peacefully in her new carseat courtesy of the British Columbia Medical Association, the 9 lb. 3/4 oz (4.41 kg) baby girl can pinpoint her birth at 10:04 pm New Year's Day. The BCMA presented 86 carseats across the province on this occasion to promote safe care of infants. Joel Johnstone photo Pungent aroma from mill is being 'wrestled with' by Stuart Burns! d\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The president of Howe Sound Pulp and Paper says the steps have been taken to correct a problem with offensive gases leaking out of the Port Mellon mill. President Bill Hughes told the Coast News that reports of pungent odours emerging from the mill just prior to Christmas stemmed from a problem with \"rupture discs in the concentrated non-condensible gas system.\" In that system, by-product gases are collected and stored so that they can be burned, as part of increasingly strict controls on mill emissions. \"The problem we've had,\" Hughes said, \"is that, because the gases are combustible, you must have rupture discs. If there should be a spark or 'It stemmed from a problem with rupture discs' something then, rather than have things blow up, you relieve the pressure.\" The discs, according to Hughes, have a strength of 10 pounds per square inch and rupture when the pressure gets above that. He said the leaks were actually the result of a failure in a part of the system designed to indicate when the discs ruptured and needed replacing. \"We had a couple of instances when, unbeknownst to us, rupture discs broke and we were venting non-condensible gases,\" Hughes said. He added that the gases were carried off shore and, consequently, couldn't be smelted around the mill. \"Employees weren't aware of it, and our neighbours in Dog- patch weren't aware of it,\" Hughes said. He said HSPP had started installing new rupture discs that have a new mechanism for detecting breaks. The new mechanism is a fibre optic cable that runs across the discs and breaks when a disc ruptures. \"This will give us an immediate indication in our control system and somebody goes out and fixes it,\" Hughes said. He said until the new system is working, a mill employee would conduct visual inspections of the rupture discs every four hours. \"It is a problem, and we're wrestling with it,\" Hughes said. 1991. It was a year which started on an ominous note as the Gulf War held our nervous attention from the middle of January. On the Coast, peace protests were held, while merchants waged a beaucratic battle of their own against the headache of the new GST tax and the first indications of a growing vandalism and break-in problem. Ferry fares went up, while early rumblings about a new \"fast\" commuter ferry to Vancouver began to heal up. 1991 was off and running... Fisheries... The year started on a controversial note in January long before the fishing season got underway with a debate within the Foreshore Advisory Task Force of the SCRD on the wisdom of raising Atlantic salmon in local fish farms as some of the escaped fish began to show up in commercial fish catches from Pacific Coastal waters. Then in February, a sobering forum delivered news that overfishing of Coho in Georgia Strait was causing permanent reductions in the stock In May, local fishermen had an opportunity to express their views at local hearings in Pender Harbour and Gibsons with Commissioner Don Cruikshauk, and voiced their dissatisfaction with several new federal government policies including leasing of licenses and a restriction of fishing licenses to certain areas of Coastal waters. Following a fishing season in which salmon went missing - and were found again off the Oregon coast - the Cruikshauk report arrived in November slamming plans in the Department of Fisheries to reduce the Pacific fleet and give control of commerical fishing to private corporations. In further unwelcome news, a flood brought on by a storm in November wiped out 40,000 Coho at the Lions' hatchery in Pender Harbour. The Mill... 1991 was the year that saw Howe Sound Pulp and Paper complete its $1 billion expansion project, which took it from a murky and polluted past to a position as one of the most technologically advanced and environmentally clean mills in the country. In April, the first roll of newsprint produced on the mill's new equipment rolled off the production line, while the first 1800 tons of chlorine-free pulp was produced in November for test- marketing in Germany. But minor accidental effluent spills into Howe Sound during the spring and early summer reaf- 'Theyear that saw Howe Sound Pulp and Paper complete its $1 billion expansion project' firmed the opinions of some groups that there were still problems to lie ironed out at HSPP By July, comments from the mill's critics prompted HSPP to take out a full-page ad in the Coast News refuting claims from Environmental Watch and the Western Canada Wilderness Committee that diox- ins and furan levels were increasing, and inviting the public to \"come and see for themselves\". In May, Gibsons crab fisherman Danny Gagnier launched a suit against HSPP for loss of income due to shellfish closure of Howe Sound because of pollution, but by September, HSPP had won another victory as the case against it was thrown out of court due to lack of credibility. Throughout the year, there were a variety of forums which discussed the ecosystem of the sound, from educational dual tours by elementary school students, to a gathering of scientists on Bowen Island in October. The news was gen Brolly sobering and carried the message that we must act soon if the sound is to have any chance of recovering In a similar spirit, the 2nd annual Save the Strait marathon in August raised $10,000 towards protection of coastal waters. Garbage and More Garbage... We reduced, re used, and recycled - this was the year which saw a lot of us put our thoughts into action, as recycling and waste disposal became increasingly important issues on the Coast. In February, the provincial government announced a new \"haz-mohile\" which would operate as a travelling toxic waste disposal unit throughout the province. But the plans fell through and one year later the old paint cans and household insecticides still accumulate in garages from Port Mellon to Egmont. Recycling depots in both Gibsons and Sechelt were kept busy sorting through full bins of newspapers and glass this year, but even these efforts were not without problems as vandals forced Sechelt's Shop Easy depot to cut back on hours and the cost of transporting materials to Vancouver markets remained high for Coast recycling efforts. Education... It was a year that saw many issues hit the spotlight in ecucation, from new Year 2000 programs to the controversial decisions on the Pender Harbour school sites - and everybody had something Turn to page 6 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDMM \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDMM news DR.

A stint in Gibsons some years ago and another posting in Powell River gave him a taste for the area and he said he and his wife are very glad to be back. Reid's wife Laurean is a nurse and he has three children, Andrea, 20, Janine, 20 and Patrick, 19. Reid came originally from Ontario but has been in BC for 27 years In his 28 years with the RCMP he has had postings in a long list of places like Port Hardy, Chase, Kaslo, Kam- loops. A.shcroft, 100 Mile House and manv other small Staff Sergeant A. Cameron Keid communities. in an interview with the Coast News Reid said he has been involved mainly with general duty policing. \"That's what 1 enjoy the most,\" he said. He went on to say that most people do not realize only about five to ten percent of a police- 7 believe we should be very involved in communities...' man's duties involve actual crime. \"I believe we should be very involved in communities and get to know people as much as we can,\" he said. \"We're working for them and addressing their needs and concerns.\" Reid has some very strong feelings about drinking drivers with good reason. His daughter \ndrea was in a serious automobile accident caused by a drinking driver. \"As a result, my response in dealing with the drinking problem may be a little hard nosed,\" he said. \"1 don't have patience for it and I'm not willing to negotiate on wet grads and things like that. \"And 1 don't feel bad that I'm a bit difficult in those areas.\" Reid feels education in the schools is an important part of the campaign against drinking and driving. He and Andrea often speak to high school classes. Sechelt wants more clout Sechelt is hoping to have more clout with the Regional District once the 1992 cenus figures are released. At a council meeting held Jan. 2, council members agreed with a report presented by John Bums suggesting the population of the municipality warranted more than one vote at the regional board. \"We have every right to demand that, then to utilize our vote and make it work,\" said Burns. He added thai greater representation on the SCRD would lead to greater co-operation between the two levels of government, and would promote efficiency by cutting down on duplication of services. \"The taxpayer is really not particularly interested in who provides the service as long as it is not wasteful of tax dollars,\" said Bums. Burns added that in recent conversations Regional Board Director and local MLA Gordon Wilson had agreed with him that \"the regional district is not representative and should he changed\".

I*-'1*-' opinion An ill conceived idea making news The Globe and Mail is more than twenty years older than the country itself. For all of that time it has been known as the conservative voice of Upper Canada. It will be fair to say that we are not speaking of any liberal or radical fringe here ami so it is notable when this organ of Central Canada's establishment in its second paper of the new year features an opinion piece entitled: \"Free trade at three: a disaster\". Now the Globe's home province of Ontario, as the area most protected and industrialised prior to the Free Trade deal, is assuredly the part of the country hardest hit by this questionable agreement, but nonetheless the writer of the Globe piece adds his \oiee to those who believe that if this trade agreement is not reversed this country will suffer irreparable damage. Phrases like the 'permanent de- industrialisation' of Canada are now commonplace. The feeling grows that there has been a major failure of the Canadian political system here. It was a Royal Coin- mission set up by Prime Minister Trtideatt which first came up with the tree tratle idea. A Liberal cabinet minister. Donald Macdonald, headed the commission at the usual grossly generous tenns awarded as perks to faithful party servants. The Conservatives under Mulroney were as bankrupt of ideas coining in as they remain today. They seized on the free trade recommendation, thereby reversing the traditional stance which had earned them the name 'Conservative' since Confederation. The failure of the system continued through the last election when both opposition parties and a clear majority of Canadians opposed the deal, but the failure of the Liberals and the NDP to co-operate in key ridings in this one- issue election saw Mulroney sweep to a second clear majority with just over forty percent of the votes cast. One well-placed source suggests that this misreading of the possibilities cost Etl Broadbent his job as leader of the NDP Finally, with the news all bad since the deal and the prognostications all grimly pessimistic, the system fails again for there is no way to recall a government determined to press ahead with the deal though it now commands the confidence of less than one Canadian in five. Front the Globe article: \"The crucial question for Canadians is how much longer are we prepared to suffer the ruinous handicaps caused by this ill-conceived experiment. Our government must be persuaded to terminate it before the damage to Canada's economy becomes irreversible.\" That may be the voice of historic conservatism in this country. But who's going to listen'.' Brian Mulroney? It's all a perspective In other days the news in British Columbia might well merit screaming headlines and the angriest of denunciations: hidden deficits, missing pension funds, and the mighty forest industry crying the blues. Tough times on the west coast, one might be tempted to think. But hold on now, what is this serenity'.' It appears that the people of this province have understood that however badly things may have been going they are still in better shape than anywhere else in Canada - and by far. So the kind of news that one can continue to find in our headlines as we peruse the affairs of the province does not disturb us. Canadians are worse off than we are all over the country. It's all a m-itter of perspective, isn't it. tetters Suggestion for waste disposal It was a perfectly simple resolution, or so I thought at another dismal meeting with the regional hoard: a resolution whose basic tenel was common sense and one in which I had a measure of faith in the wisdom of the sitting members to appreciate and understand. It was not to be! There are two ways to resolve this recently adopted waste disposal policy that has affected many on the Coast, I suggested. One is to look foolish by legislating a totalitarian dictate that would rank us with those east- em block states where freedom of choice did not exist and everyone drove a Trabant. The other choice, I suggested, would be to adopt the same rules as the city of Vancouver (which, by the way, allows three cans per residence and, does not set a container size restriction), following the policy of the Workers' Compensation Board guidelines which provide that a worker need not pick up a container that would be injurious to his health...specifically his back. It was obviously a point with which Madame Chairman Peggy Connor was entirely unfamiliar, having informed me at the last meeting that can size was dictated by WCB regulations. A call to an officer of WCB, however, has proved otherwise and I clarify this for her honour the chairman and the rest of the board. Then her honour cursorily suggested thai she had had an opportunity to study the information available to her and was able to now inform me lhat the regulation in effect (and which recent enlighlenmeni presumably had come from her reading of the region's own bylaws), was specific in its statement thai container size was 16 by 22, the inference in this statement of finality being thai nothing more need be said, ihe matter was closed. Fortunately I happened to have a copy of the bylaws wihin easy grasp and was able to read into the record Ihe actual provisos of the bylaw in question. Excuse me madam chairman I suggested, quoting section 3.2, the bylaw reads as follows: \"The said containers shall be of a standard size\", and I added, il says in parentheses, \"approximately 16 by 22\"! There is no indication here, I added, whether this be inches, feet, metres, gallons, cubic centimetres or whatever! 1 attempted to read the further provisos of Ihe bylaw but madame chairman squelched my words as some are wont to do when proven wrong and can muster no legitimate comeback. It was at this point thai Director Jim Gurney opted in place regional dislricl mindset on a par with eastern European thought by suggesting legislation lhat would standardize our ticky-tacky Irash cans and remove freedom of choice from ihe scenario, in ihe process tossing logic and reason out the window. While freedom of choice seems good enough for the million odd souls living in the lower mainland, apparently it's not worthy for us Coasters. Move over Chairman Mao. there's room al the top! R.S. RODVIK Caren flyer claims not substantiated During the week of December 18, 1991, most Coast residents received an 'educational report' from the Western Canada Wilderness Committee (WCWC) in their mail, co-published with a local group known as the Friends of Caren. The letters welcome We welcome letters to the editor on matters of public interest. However, we reserve the right to edit submissions for brevity, clarity and legality. Please mail your letters to: The Editor Sunshine Coast News Box 68 Sechelt, B.C. VON 3A0 report made a number of false and misleading statements. If these people are to be believed, Ihe oldest tree in Canada (a Yellow Cedar approximately 1700 years old) was cut in ihe Caren Range a few yean ago. The truth of Ihe mailer, however, is that trees of this age are far from unique, and the tree in question was not Canada's oldest tree. There is a Larch over 2000 years old living a happy, protected life in Manning Park. Doubtless still older specimens will be found if enough people put their minds lo it, The report also claims thai the Caren Range \"is believed lo support one of the largest known breeding colonies of the threatened Marbled Murrelet.\" Believed by whom? Certainly not the experts who work for the Ministry of Forest, the Ministry of the Environment or the Canadian Wildlife Service. Perhaps even more disconcerting than the lack of credibility in the report, however, is the assertion thai \"the people of the Sunshine Coast, and perhaps of the province as a whole should determine the best treatment of the area\". Oh, really? At a time when local communities are fighting to have a bigger say in land use decisions, suddenly the people of the entire province may be best suited lo make this important decision for us? I think not. DAVID C. BEBB. RPF Sechelt. BC Many Canadians are unaware and unappreciative of their history I am now in the midsl of my thirty-eighth year in Canada. My first here was by no means my first year of life, but well along towards two thirds of all my years spent on this earth have been spent as an earner, a taxpayer, a father, and a grandfather in this country. 1 have worked in its corporations, taught in lis schools and run a small business in geographic areas almost as widespread east lo west, north to south, as what is now the world's largest country itself. Not being a Canadian to begin with, being an immigranl in search of opportunity and full of enthusiasm for the country in which I was going lo find it. I hurled myself into the question of Canada almost thirty-eight years ago with an energy and appreciation which was certainly not ihe Canadian norm. In the 1950's 1 plunged into the study of Canadian history and found it fascinating, evocative and endlessly absorbing. I stared in disbelief at my teenage fellows, born and brought up in Canada, who asserted confidently that the history of their country was boring. I was not only studying it avidly and with delight at the time, I was finding in it echoes of the dreams of childhood of a coalminer's son who found fascination in the coureurs de bois, in the Brandy Trade, in the French-English wars, in the Bishops and Governors, in the Chateau Clique in Lower Canada and the Family Compact in Upper musings John burnside Canada, in fiery and memorable rebels like William Lyon Mackenzie and Louis Riel. and in John A Macdonald, possibly the most remarkable elected leader apart from Abraham Lincoln in the history of democracy. How could Canadians see their history as boring? And how could they be, en masse, as indifferent to a geography as compelling, varied, beautiful and challenging as anything on earth? The fact was, I came slowly lo realize, lhat Canadians knew nothing of their history and cared nothing for their geography. That is, they cared nothing for the people who had preceded them nor the place they themselves were in. Canadians are not interested in their history nor their country; they lend lo react with embarrassment to anyone who does betray enthusiastic interest, and with even more embarrassment to any Canadian who is so thoroughly recognized outside of this country as lo be undoubtedly of interest. So we enter into a new year which sees the future of Canada jeopardised as never before by a succession of incompetent and self-serving governments, and above all by the smug apathy of the Canadian electorate which never seems embarrassed by corruption, only by true stature. I was given impetus to run my mind over these sad evaluations by a two-part mini-series that the CBC ran early in 1992 about thai most embarrassing of Canadian heroes, not recognised here but revered elsewhere, Dr. Norman Bethune. How dare a highly successful Montreal surgeon and socialite throw comfon to the winds and go off and serve in the battle fields of Spain and China, working in both cases for the Communists. II was rapidly pointed out that this renegade from the Montreal social elite was a drunkard and womaniser. Had he stayed in the Montreal elite social circles it is a fair guess thai he would not have been alone in these failings and no one would have thought it worthy of mention. So Canadians find out with some puzzled surprise that one of their uninteresting brood is seen as a hero of heroes in the world's most populous country. There must be some mistake. Of course there is, fellow Canadians hasten to assure them. Bethune was a drunk and a womanizer and, what must surely be worse, a Red. Bethune is not alone in this treatment by his coast Reporters Trig) Sunshine Coast News is locally owned and published on me Sunshine Coast.

In the country of my birth there was a man who spoke of love and simple things with lyric beamy, but combined them with an uncompromising rage against the greed and stupidity of landowners and the privileged, of \"man's inhumanity to man\", and it was enough to see him die in poverty despite the gifts which saw him recognized by ihe erection of statues in his honour all over the world. Robert Bums, like Norman Bethune, has been passed down to us as a drunk and a womanizer and a dangerous radical, and Scotsmen when they celebrate Bums, as they will all over the world, remain a little shamefaced aboul his 'weaknesses'. So when Canadians finally, more than fifty years after his death, come lo celebrate Norman Bethune, the exercise is as full of and fraught with division and difficulty as the country itself. The critics leap on the division and difficulty and alleged shortcomings of the production with the same savage, self-effacing nihilism they brought lo the study of Canadian history as children. I watched the show despite the critics. 1 saw bright and caring people bringing into overdue focus a great man whose caring and whose passion for social justice were much more significant than the all too familiar human failings lhat were also his. I enjoyed the show; admired Bethune; but what would I know about this country or its heroes. Gitjsons Kim Cume Sechelt. Ruth Forrester RoseNehotson John Bumlido. S. Nutter, Peter T rower.

AWARD-WINNING newspaper ephemera Coast News, lanuary (>, 14') 2 In a nutshell s. nutter As we head into '92 our thoughts turn to the animal kingdom, which is to say away from the human commonwealth of this's or that's and its determination to pile problems on problems, and discuss them endlessly in just the way lhat can make them ever more complex and distressing. I mean, one knows oneself what to do with any of these so-called problems right? Be they in Serbia or Georgia or Quebec or any other district of the global village? Calm is what seems needed in this hour, and for calm, chaps, we turn to the animal kingdom. We had lor example once, two Himalayan cats, brother and sister.. They were tremendously handsome and tremendously calm. Friends complained lhat they had no personality at all. You could hardly tell one from the other, but boy, were they ever calm. It had been thought that perhaps a couple ttf cats would be thing... Previously we had had a series of dogs, three Samoyeds, each one called Kim. They had been thumped one after the other by cars. It had been thought thai perhaps a couple of cats would be the thing. We were living in just about the center of Toronto, just off Bloor and just off Yonge, in a third floor apartment, when we got the cats. There was a raised sort of artificial garden on the first floor, with spruce trees planted (experimentally), and it was felt that the cats should not lie encouraged lo leap off ihe balcony into this greenery. It was, I am sorry to say, pretty well concluded lhat this pair of Himalayans should be brought up as 'house cats'. With all the empathy you could muster towards these cats you were thereafter not really getting through. There was eventually an incident which broke the pattern somewhat. There was a New Year's party. The sliding door to the balcony had been left open. In the morning a visiting friend was still about. Hours went by before we realized that we were only seeing one cat instead of two. We searched the place, of course, knocked on doors all up and down, plastered the place wih posters, but no Katy. Three days went by before we were called by ihe maintenance man who narked his car Ik'Iow the raised garden. He had gone to check his oil and our cat was curled up behind his battery. He had tried to fish her out and she had bitten him. Taking calm beyond a reasonable level He had been driving home and back every day, but still she seemed though a bit grubby, not terribly put out, We whipped her down to the vel's but nothing seemed to be wrong. She might be a bit neurotic, the doctor said, but God knows she might have been a bit neurotic all along. Her brother, Blue, hardly seemed to notice her re- arrival. This is taking calm perhaps beyond a recommendablc level. My son, Christopher, once when I was away, persuded his mother to gel him an antealer who had caught his eye in a Montreal pet shop. Archy, the antealer, slept most of the day in a box in Christopehr s room, covered with a blanket. When it was time for dins, Archy would signify by pulling his long tongue under Christopher's door, which led into the living room, and waving it about. Sometimes, when there were guests, this could lead to a comparison of calmness between the human and the animal worlds. A fixed look on the face of someone not knowing an anteater was in there could be worth the price of admission. Christopher fed Archy on cat food dosed with some drops of acetylsalicylic acid, and took him for walks in the park in the town of Mount Royal. Archie was along the lines of a Borzoi, with of course, a much longer nose, but with the same soulful eyes and the same nice loose gait to him, and il has to be said, talking of calm in the animal kingdom, he tended to rather freak out the poodles, etc. being promenaded in the park.

Bird Count Nets Record Numbers bit Tony vMMMM There may not have been French Hens or a partridge in a pear tree, but scoters, gulls and crows were all in ample supply on December 14 when the Sechelt Marsh Society and friends participated in the 92nd annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count Twenty one participants in seven separate parties attempted to cover as much as possible of the seven and one half mile radius circle centred in Roberts Creek The circle reached lo West Sechelt on the west and lo Port Mellon on the east. Two diehards spent the night hours prowling the woods for owls Each of the seven parlies were led by a competent birder likely to know all the species encountered, The weallur was excellent for a bird count with clear blue skies, no wind and warm temperatures for mid winter, Apart from two diehards who spent the night hours prowling the wihhIs for owls (and found three Barred Owls), counting hegan at S am and continued until darkness at 5 pm. In the process, 93 different species of birds were located with a total of 12,801 individuals. Four species. Surf Scoter (2(112); Barrow's Goldeneye, Glaucouswinged Gull (2537) and Northwestern Crow accounted for over SO percent of all the birds seen. In terms of rarity, the \"best\" species seen were a Mourning Dove in Porpoise Bay, and a While winged Crossbill on Mount Elphinstone. Both these birds were new lo Ihe Sunshine Coast count and brought the all-time total in 13 counts to 137 species. Three duck species - Surf Scoters, Black Scoters and Barrow's Goldeneyes - were present in record numbers. They can all be seen in the Davis Bay/Mission Point area. Numbers for other species were low, because of severe temperatures last winter causing high mortality. Still others were scarce, because this year's wjarm weather has not forced these birds into the lowlands. The 12,801 birds recorded was the highest ever for the lower Sunshine Coast count while the 95 species was an average number. The participants enjoyed an excellent day of birding, and the information compiled makes long-term bird population studies possible. This year also, the Pender Harbour Wildlife Club conducted its first bird count, covering the whole north end of the peninsula from Wood Bay to Egmonl with 4881 birds spotted from 68 different species. Highlights included 413 Marbled Murrelels, four Ring-necked Ducks, 854 Barrow's Goldeneye, 13 Ruffed Grouse, 423 Bonaparte's Gulls and one Rhinocerous Auklel.

April also saw ihe beginning of another type of protest as well, as parents from Pender Harbour voiced opposition to a proposal to amalgamate ihe elementary and secondary schools levels on lo one site in Kleindale. By October, the school board had voted to accept the K 12 proposal. But less than two months later, trustees voted to withdraw lhat decision in favour of further studv, following protests from residents and a petition signed by 800 people 9 against Ihe plan Meanwhile, the school which did exist al the Ihe Kleindale site - Pender Harbour Secondary - won its accreditation with flying colours. Development In Gibsons, the city showed signs of coming lo the town, as Marcorp development's conslruclion of Gibsons Park Plata dominated Ihe business scene First steps were underway by February Bui not everybody was overjoyed at the prospect of further large shopping centres in Gibsons In April, owners of S u n n y c r e s t mall protested a \"loophole\" which they said was allowing Marcorp lo include their lands within the town of Gibsons' boundaries by bending the rules of the municipality. As a result of length) negotiations between Gibsons and the regional district, Gibsons finally expanded iheir boundaries to include the new mall property. By June, the developers had the go-ahead they needed - just before the town declared a moratorium on further development, pending studies of sewer and related services. By November, almost 5000 consumers offered their own commeni by lurning up to ihe grand opening of Woolworths. Meanwhile, between growing public squabbles which took place between Mayor Nancy MacLarty and other members of council. Sechell focused its concern on its growing status as tourist destination, with attention to \"revitalizalion\". \"beautification\" and development permit areas which set guidelines for aesthetic considerations. Sechell merchants had other things lo worry about, though - 1991 saw a rash of vandalism and commercial break-ins, which made several owners question Ihe type of changes which were becoming increasingly apparent in the once quiet community. Election We waited and we waited. While the election proper look its time arriving on the Coast, there' were die early political rumblings. In February, an NDP potluck dinner showed all the signs of an electfflfi rallying of the troups, while Liberal leader Gordon Wilson found himself facing charges of fiscal impropriety concerning party funds, which he vigourously refuled in comments to the local press. Sunshine Coast election machines moved into high gear in October with the dropping of the writ by then-Premier Rita Johnson. Everything seemed to be proceeding as expected for Ihe first half of the campaign, with the NDP enjoying a substantial lead over the Liberals and Social Credit. Then came the TV debate which changed the course of both the local and provincial election picture as Gordon Wilson and BC Liberal party surged ahead, with the help of nightly BCTV polls. In a survey of Coast voters, ethics shared top billing with the economy on the list of issues being considered by the electorate - but that didn't stop a healthy dose of mud-slinging during local candidate's debates. By the night of October 17th, il was all over, with Gordon Wilson winning the Sunshine Coast riding with over 11,000 votes and proceeding to a position as Leader of the Official Opposition, as his party enjoyed a dramatic upsurge of support across the province. Native issues It was in large measure a triumphant year lor Ihe Sechell Indian Band. In March, the band signed its second five-year agreement for self-government funding from the federal government, reaffirming ils unique status on Ihe Canadian Native scene. Then in April, there was the starl of action on one of the band's other most important issues as the Sechell's $54 million land claim was accepted for negotialion by government - but by the end of 91. there was still no more news on the situation. Al Ihe end of May, Ihe House of Hewhlwus (House of Chiefs) became one of the new showpieces of the Coast as a potlatch was held for a grand opening of the complex, which went on to house a museum, offices for both government and Capilano College and the Raven's Cry Theatre. One sad note in the otherwise happy year was the passing on of elder Mary Jane Jackson al 86 in November. Forestry. The bailies begun in the woods over logging and environmental protection continued on the Sunshine Coast in 1991, albeit not with quite the level of animosity found in some other pans of ihe province. There were forums and more forums and everybody seemed to agree that communication between environmentalists and the forest industry was a good idea, even if we weren't really sure what it would lead lo. The Local Resource Use Plan team for ihe Tetrahedron slogged on through dramatic changes in its numbers and structure, first in March, when the Sunshine Coast Environmental Protection Project pulled out of meetings and again in May, when District Forests Manager Barry Mountain announced that size and represenlation on Ihe committee would be cut. Meanwhile, the discovery of the slump of a 1700-year old yellow cedar in the Caren Range spurred requests by Ihe local group Friends of Caren lo halt logging in that area. In September, wildlife artist Robert Baleman added his voice lo Ihe cause - an act not particularly welcomed by some loggers on the Coast. During ihe summer, the Forest Resources Commission Report headed by Sandy Peel released recommendations for far-reaching reforms of the forest service. By September, Ihe BC Ministry of Forests had issued a report criticizing its own methods of limber supply analysis, And by October, we were back discussing the issues al another forum - this lime put on by the disirici Labour Council. Accurate inventories, provincial plans and a new local forest commission were called for from all parties. In related issues on the environmentalist front, there were protests by Pender Harbour residents in June and again by Longdate residents in August against the use of ihe chemical Vision by BC Hydro for clearing in iheir areas. Further protests by Egmont residents against the use of the same herbicide in the Dorislon area resulted in Terminal Forest Products backing down from a plan lor aerial spraying. The Boat That Wouldn't Float The year started on a sour note for Sunshine Coast customers of BC Ferries, with a jump in ferry fares . And throughout the rest of the year, things didn't get a whole lot better. Following discussions that had already taken place in 1990, the idea of a passenger-only commuter ferry between Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast lurched between a near certainty and definitive collapse in the first half of the year. In January, controversy was already swirling on a docking sile in Gibsons rather than Langdale, and there was debate over whether we really wanted the ferry in Ihe first place, with some suggesting improved service on existing runs would be a better idea. By April, the ferry idea seemed lo i>e moving ahead, with negotiations underway for a docking sile al Hyak Marina, fare announcements and a mini real estate boom in Gibsons: Bui by May, plans were in the air again as Ihe fast ferry deal was cancelled by Victoria for not meeting contractual deadlines and ferry developer Stewart Vinnels had run into problems with both Ihe Bowen Island link of his commuter ferry plan and plans to buy a docking site in Gibsons. By May, plans for a fast ferry had been officially sunk.

Joel Johnstone pholo Child Find to aid RCMP A concerned parents group at Cedar Grove Elementary School is taking steps to ensure the safety of children on the Coast. On January 11, from 9 am to 5 pm, volunteers from Cedar Grove's Parent Advisory Committee will be recording the fingerprints and photographing all the children of interested parents as part of a program called Child Find- According lo Cedar Grove's parent/education representative Johanna Rzepa, the goal of the Child Find is precautionary; it's lo make il easier for the RCMP to find missing children. \"At the beginning of the year,\" Rzepa said, \"the parent Advisory Committee discussed the theme we'd like to have for the year and decided on child safely...this Child Find is an application of our theme.\" She noted that ihe RCMP will assist with the fingerprinting process but the identity cards made for the children are kept by the parents. robertscreek by lev Cranston Happy New Year, Creekers. In Ihe 'News' business an interesting way lo begin the New Year's first issue is the custom of reviewing events of the past year, good and bad, and in between. Following is a brief hxik back at Roberta Creek 1991. January weather saw lots of ice and snow, along with several cold snaps. Creekers met at the mouth of Roberts Creek to participate in Ihe launching of a flotilla of floating hurricane candles into Georgia Strait as a sign of lengthening days, peace and gixxl will. Creek Foods International opened in downtown Roberts Creek, owned and operated by Patti Dewar and Jerry Hills, featuring dinners and picnics to go and lots more. Peter Light stales in a letter to the editor \"I welcome Ihe GST, for il reminds me and resolves me lo spend and make do with less and less!\" What a way lo beat the GST, which by the way, is still upon us. I wonder when il will lie raised to nine or ten percent. Roberts Creek Elementary girls and boys volleyball teams travelled to Surrey led by coach Barry Krangle, in a major BC Tournament. Creekers led by Donna Shugar organized a group called 'Concerned Crow (loaders' (which later became 'Concerned Coast Residents') and turned out to a meeting with Forestry officials to protest clearcul logging in Roberts Creek above the power lines. Roberts Creek is targeted in an extensive rec plan by PERC, a company hired by coastal governments and local groups. This area was recommended due to its central location. Tim Clement, well known woodcarver, was for the third year elected by acclamation as Forest Advisory Committee Chairman. Roberts Creek golfer Gary Robinson, holding his favourite iron on a rare sunny day, made Ihe Coast News snorts section. Cliff Gilker Park's sportsfield opened and was well used all season for soccer, baseball and other community events. It's a lovely green oasis. Ken Dalgleish publicly asked the person or persons who stole his specialized piano tuning tools to please return them. In the meantime Ken has purchased a new/old fine set from an old- timer in the profession. Roberts Creeker Terry Weatherill played opposite Alice Albrecht in the highly praised performance 'Precious Sons' at the Creek Hail, directed by Creeker Jay Pomfret. The proposed Pilch 'n Putt on the corner of Maskell Road and Highway 101 was turned down by the SCRD due to protests from local residents. Blues great Eddie Shaw brought Wolf Gang in for a one night sizzler at the Creek Hall. Roberts Creek was declared a separate nation by rained on, gumbooted Creekers at a May Day celebration at the campsite. Ernie Fossetl, President of the Roberts Creek Legion proposed a retirement home complex in Roberts Creek. Centra Gas put a pipeline through Roberts Creek but residents won't lie serviced with natural gas. We have benefitted in one very important aspect, and that is the wider, cleaner and safer walkway along Lower Road. Now if drivers would just listen lo Grace Lawson and many others, myself included, who have asked and written repeatedly to the public to please slow down. This is a 30 zone and many kids, adults and animals walk, run and jog along Lower Road. Peace and Happiness in 1992! by George Cooper, B86-8520 Emergency Calls Dialing 911 in an emergency here on the Sunshine Coast is not, it turns out, a futile act. Does use up a few seconds, however. Check it out for yourself. A recorded voice almost immediately very calmly responds, \"Hang up and dial the agency direct or dial zero for assistance.\" The message repeats once. The agency mentioned is, of course, one of police, fire, ambulance or another of those listed inside Ihe cover of your phone book. Records of 911 calls in Canada show that 80 to 90 percent are for Ihe police, about 10 are for ambulance, and two to six percent are for fire. And who remembers even one agency number? A recent accident on the Coast has shown, however, thai dialing '0' in an emergency brings immediate response and a connection to Ihe appropriate agency. As in dialing '0', the 911 systems use operators to act upon Ihe caller's information. There are two 911 systems, Ihe basic and the enhanced. In enhanced 911 there is either automatic number identification or automatic location identification. Is there any reason for undue anxiety about calling for emergency assistance? There certainly does not appear to be any where communication by phone is concerned. But does everyone know how lo use Ihe emergency call system? Discussions with family and in schools could well give youngsters instruction and dry run practice in making emergency calls and giving the oper ator the needed information. Let me voice the acclaim many readers must have for the composure displayed by young Michael Lasuta in that horrendous emergency in his home in mid-December. Such cool- headedness leaves us all in open admiration, Michael. The Messiah A footnote to the splendid presentation last December 14 and 15 of this cantata to tell a little of the soloists.

In the past we have published in Halfmoon Bay, Powell River, Sechelt and Gibsons. Since 1984, we have had offices in both Sechelt and Gibsons. When the Sechelt Chamber of Commerce needed to research the history of the Sechelt canal proposal, they came to The Coast News. When the Gibsons Sea Cavalcade Committee needed to check the names of past winners, they came to The Coast News. We are the source for citizens and local organizations when they need to refer to the history of the past half century. There is only one place they need to go - to The Sunshine Coast News archives.

U5-M2* Hundreds of spectators lined the wharf and beach in Davis Bay on New Year's Day lo walch the annual Polar Bear Swim. Amidst Ihe cheers and whistles of the onlookers, 45 brave souls plunged into ihe briny, cold waters of the bay. The soulful sound of the bagpipes wafted across the scene as ihe swimmers gasped, squealed, shrieked and whooped when they hit the icy water. The entrants included all ages and both sexes, although men were predominant. However, ihe females succeeded in staying in the water for longer! Melte Hoegh and Selena Huffman won for being the 'longest in the water' which was judged to be 10 minutes plus! Incidentally, Metie is an exchange student from Greenland who is currently spending ihe school year with Heather Blackwood, whose daughter is spending her school year in Portugal. The 'best costume' prize went to 'witch' Darlene Humbird who lit up the waters with her bright red outfit and black witch's hal. The youngest plunger was Colwyn Sleep, four years old, while ihe oldest was Jenny Saunders al 65 years. Hooray for the Welshmen! Our claim lo fame? The swim was a great way to kick off the New Year 1992. It proves the community will support this sort of family entertainment and may provide an incentive to other groups lo plan more events of this nature. Many thanks lo the fellas who patrolled Ihe waters, Ihe ambulance people standing by and the RCMP for the great traffic control - you did a great job! Quick Notes The polluck dinner will be held at the hall on Sunday, January 12 al 6 pm. This is the kick-off dinner for the New Year, so please plan to attend.

According lo reports, she is coining along quite nicely in Si. Mary's Hospital. Have a happy birthday, Eva and know lhat friends are thinking about you and wishing you well. New Year in California This year we brought in the New Year far from our traditional Scottish Hogmanay celebration. Along with family in San Jose, California, we spent the evening al an Italian Restaurant where the champagne flowed like water and entertainment was provided by several opera singers, all of whom were of the highest quality. No amateurs there. The orchestra was wonderful too and the fixxl plentiful. The whole atmosphere was that of a great party where everyone got together and had a happy time. All that was missing was a group of friends from Halfmoon Bay whose company we really did miss, especially those with whom we usually bring in the New Year. Only in California could a proposal of marriage lake place such as the one we witnessed on this New Year's Eve. A dapper young man took over the mike, and, in front of at least 150 people, got down on his knees, tuxedo and all, and asked lor the young lady's hand in marriage. She immediately said \"Yes,\" much to the joy of those present, and everyone took part in a toast to the young couple. It might have been more fun had she said \"I'll think about it,\" but 1 guess she was too overwhelmed to hesitate. The couple at the table next to ours spent the entire evening kissing and hugging, real hot stuff, and we wondered about them, because they were certainly not a young couple. Someone at another table asked them if they were just married. \"Oh,\" said the guy, \"we're both married, but not to each other. That's why we get along so well.\" Only in California! St. Mary's Auxilary To Meet The Halfmoon Bay branch of St. Man's Hospital Auxilary will be holding their next meeting at Coopers Green Hall at 10 am on Monday Jan 13. All members are asked to be sure to bring a note of hours worked during the past year. Now thai we are back home, would you please give me a call in the evenings if you have any news items or events 1 should mention. Would be particularly pleased to learn who had the first Halt- moon Bay baby of the year. Please let me know Meantime, a happy and healthy New Year to you all. Coast students travel to Japan and Thailand by Jane Sayd Two students from the Sunshine Coast will be heading off to the far east this spring as part of a cultural exchange program sponsored by Ihe Ministry of Education. Kelly Milroy of Chatelech Secondary and Brad Cotter of Pender Harbour Secondary will be packing their bags in April to head off to Thailand and Japan, respectively, for a three-month stay. The trips are part of a program designed by the ministry to foster cultural ties with Pacific Rim areas like Japan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. The students from the Coast will be two of IS students taking part in the program across the province. Each student is billet- '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ed with a host family and puts up $500 towards ihe trip, while the Ministry of Education picks up the rest of expenses. Both students are excited about the prospect of iheir trip. Kelly Milroy, who will be heading off to Thailand says she'll be most interested in the qualities which make that country different from Canada, from the Buddhist religious festivals to the spicy food. She'll also be interested to find out what it's like to be different herself - to be seen as a member of a minority rather than the dominant cultural group. \"They speak a lot of English, but they don't look like you and I,\" she says, \"The shoe will be on the other fool.\" Since learning of the exchange program, Kelly has spent time both in the library looking up information on Thailand and talking to previous VAk\"***^ ANNOUNCING 18 9 2 1 ] INI Grants from $100 to $15,000 are available for non-profit groups who wish to undertake a project that promotes forestry awareness in British Columbia.

When she arrives in the spring, it should be in time for the Rocket Festival (held in honour of a Buddhist god) and the end of the rainy season, she says. Meanwhile, Brad Cotter will be travelling to Sendai city, near Toyko to learn about Japanese culture. While he's away, he'll also be trying lo pick up some of a new language, \"which should make il interesting,\" he says. Cotter and Milroy were chosen for the Sunshine Coast placements after being interviewed by a selection commit tee, which looked for motivation, independence and responsibility, among other qualities. Consideration was also given to how well students would represent Canada in another country. During the interviews, students answered tough questions which have been known to stump even astute politicians, which included issues on free trade, Quebec separatism, and Native rights, to name a few. \"It's kind of a big shock,\" says Kelly, \"I'm sure it won't really sink in until a month before I leave.\" Landmarks Reveal History by Peter Trowtr Although Ihe communities of Davis Bay and Selma Park have their separate identities, they are close enough to Sechelt lo be considered suburbs of the town Both places were first settled in the late 1890s. Davis Bay was once a Union Steamship stop and still retains its government wharf. Il boasts one of the few sandy beaches on Ihe Sunshine Coasl and is a popular spot for swimmers in the summer months, The town of Sechelt grew up around the long-established Indian Reserve from which il takes its name. The Sechelt Band are Ihe original inhahi units of this area and have lived here for hundreds of years. The historic church on the reserve signifies iheir conversion lo Christianity in Ihe late 1800s. A fascinating account of their myths, legends and early history may be found in The Story Of The Sechell Nation by local historian, Lester Peterson (Harbour). The Sechelts created an important precedent a few years back when they became Ihe first Native band in Canada lo achieve self-government, They own and operate several successful businesses including a gravel pit and an air charter service. The first white landowner in Sechelt was a man named John Scales, a former member of Colonel Moody's Royal Engineers. He made his original application in 1869. The first legal survey of the area was conducted by William Sugden Jemmel in 1875. Two of the earliest families to settle on this part of the Peninsula were the Cooks and the Whilakers. They first pre-empted land here in the early 1890s. Others soon followed and gradually the present day town began to materialize from the wilderness. The first hole! in Sechelt was built in 1899 near the beach by Bert Whilaker. It was destroyed by fire in 1914. A second hotel met the same fate in 1937. Sechelt's third hotel had a somewhat longer life span. Known as the Sechelt Inn, it was operated by the Union Steamship Company from 1926 until 1952. The Inn continued under private ownership until 1963 when, like its predecessors, it too went up in flames. One historic hostelry thai managed to survive is the Wakefield Inn, north of Sechell. Built in 1926, it served as a private home until 1940. In thai year il was sold and converted to a beer parlor. It has functioned in this capacity ever since, under a variety of owners. Directly across the road from the Wakefield is a derelict log cabin that also dates back to the 20s. During the 30s, il served as a combination police station and relief office. Abandoned during Ihe 40s, il was re-activated as a coffee shop in the 50s. It has stood forlornly empty now for many years. Need that High School Diploma?

Valerie Vmall photo. egmontnews by Lynn Mass, 883-1188 Wow! What a great Christmas party. We were running a bit late, but nevertheless, we still wheeled in just in time to dig in. (Thank God for 'Egmont time'). As usual there was a vast assortment of delicacies conjured up in kitchens from Ruby Lake to Egmont Road. I believe one lasagna even made it all the way from West Vancouver. When all appetites were sated, and tea and Java were making the rounds, the Skookum Scrappers drew the winning ticket for the long awaited 'most beautiful quilt in sechelt council notes the world' raffle. The very lucky winner is Chris Harrison of Calgary. He was up this summer working on his folks' place in old Egmont, when Frank Nichol scooted over and talked htm into spending a loony. Well, all of us who thought we would win were kind of long- faced, but not for long. Santa Dude, king of elves had arrived! The children gathered in a big circle right round his big red chair and after three big cheers for the town of Egmont (instituted by Santa himself), he proceeded to pick out surprizes from his bulging sack. It was wonderful to see all the smiles Mayor Nancy MacLarty opened the Jan. 2 meeting by wishing everyone a Happy New Year and noting that 1992 is a leap year. \"We have an extra day this year,\" she told council. \"We're bound to accomplish a lot more.\" Bus Service Discussed Council would like to see greater bus service offered to Sechell residents, particularly to the arena and to residential areas. Sechelt residents pay for transit through their taxes, said Mayor Nancy MacLarty, but few people away from Ihe core of the district can take advantage of the service. \"I think we have to cover more residential areas as well,\" she said. Meanwhile, the Sunshine Coast Transit System has just introduced monthly bus passes for the Coasl at rates of $27/adull, $24/senior and $24/student. Passes are available at the regional district office. The transit system provided 55,000 rides on the Coast in 1991. For information on routes and schedules, residents can call transit information at 885-3234. Arcade and Smoking By-laws Considered At the Jan. 2 meeting, Council gave third reading to a by-law defining an \"Amusement Arcade\" as an establishment containing more than three coin-operated \"electronic game machines\". Under existing zoning, arcades are not a permitted use of property in the municipality. This means that anyone wishing to open an arcade would have to apply to council for special consideration. Existing businesses will not be affected by the by-law. Third reading was also given to a new nonsmoking by-law proposed by the District, which would place restrictions on smoking in areas of local businesses and many public locations. Conflict of Interest Rules Discussed Council has decided to seek further clarification on the results of a recent BC Supreme Court decision regarding potential conflict-of- interest for voting council members. The results of the court decision, which involved a case between Harwood Industries Ltd. and the District of Surrey, mean that it is no longer sufficient for council members to \"abstain\" from voting on issues where there is a perceived conflict of interest. In the case of a tie vole, if a council member is present during and after the portion of the meeting when the issue is discussed, an abstention will be considered a \"positive\" vote on the recommendation. Il was unclear, however, whether council members would lie considered lo have voted \"positively\" if they were present for other parts of a council meeting. Sechelt Planner Rob Sabine said he would seek clarification of this issue. In the meantime, Mayor Nancy MacLarty suggested council members request any issues involving potential conflict of interest be included al the very end of council meetings.

The hall was filled with warmth and good vibes, while the wind and rain swirled around outside. After the dinner this household was called upon to reveal Ihe origin of the mysterious 'walnut balls' that were part of the spread. Okay! Okay! Karin Hunt made them and she was kind enough to pass on the recipe. Here il is: Walnut Balls: 3/4 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, one small onion (chopped fine), 1/2 cup grated cheese, 2 eggs, 1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning.

Small as A trip north, to the end of the road By Stuart lumsldt It -Lined with the most basic of noil reproductive urges, the desire to get away from the stress and commotion associated with living from hand to banker's mouth on a semimonthly basis. 1 had a week's holiday over Christmas and my girlfriend was temporarily freed from the confines of higher education. So we. like many hardier northern souls, opted lo scrape together our mutual resources and head for a warmer clime, seeking a temporary but necessary reprieve from the familiar Coastal drizzle. \"$155?\" I asked, somewhat taken aback when the post Christmas ripples had settled on our monetary pool. \"If we spend a night in Vancouver we won't have enough money left for Ihe ferry home.\" A naked, ugly and all too familiar reality began to peak from behind a curtain of high hopes - post holiday depression before Ihe vacation had begun. The beast had to be beaten back with a stick; a course of action was better than ticking away scarce and precious free time just to return to the seldom-quiet desperation of editorial deadlines. The answer lay, as many Canadians seeking good fortune instinctively know, to the north. We would snake bravely up Highway 101 far north, north to where bears are bears and men are scarce. \"Quick Laura, consult the map!\" I cried. \"Lund?\" she asked after Rand McNally had beet, scrutinized, \"What's in Lund?\" \"It's the End of the Road,\" 1 said. \"It's a place everyone talks about but where no one living has ever been. Kinda' like heaven.\" Two days later, with the loan of a Volkswagon camper from indulgent parents, we were heading North, motoring smoothly toward destiny. In truth, it's not thai far. An hour and a half's \"easy driving time\" from Gibsons to Earls Cove and we boarded the Queen of Capilano , a glossy wedding cake of a vessel, sturdy despite outward appearances. The trip over was filled with all the beauty BC can muster in a single hour and we passed isolated, water-locked fish farms, wondering what the inhabitants do for excitement. They wave at the ferry, we found out. Off the ferry in Saltery Bay, the van slipped smoothly into first and back onto 101, with Shangri-La in Ihe offing. Another half hour brought us to Powell River, a smaller, more pleasant town than expected, except for its bleeding main artery located just down from the hospital. Through Powell River, the bit now firmly held between the leeth, Lund was about 30 miles further with no sizeable human distractions along the way. Closing in on the End of the Road, we were still looking for a sign of the town that hurried calculations told us should be under our wheels. Banking a hard left toward the ocean, the highway ended rather abruptly by going off a government wharf. \"Is this Lund?\" asked the incredulous Laura as we pulled to a stop. For my part, I was straining my vision down the shoreline, looking for more commercial activity than the aging combination hotel, store, pub, restaurant, and coffee shop on our right. \"I guess so,\" I responded. \"What does that sign say?\" At the foot of the wharf was a large sign map and we vacated the vehicle (lest we ended up further than the end of the road) and made our way over to it, taking note of the multitude of misshapen, inbred curs that waggled up for a sniff. \"Things to do in Lund:\" read the welcome sign. \"Visit Savary Island\" (located about 10 miles off the Coast) was the first offering, soon followed by enticements to enjoy the scenery, comb the beaches, swim, look for wildlife, and so on. We saw what looked like another enterprise across a vacant lot facing the hotel. We made for it and found it to be a gift shop, closed for the winter. A sign posted outside informed us we were now in South Lund. Back in the camper we vowed to make the most of it. Relaxation was what we wanted and Laura had had the foresight to bring a game of Yatzee. And relaxation is what we had, three days of it; short strolls through the vacant campgrounds we stayed in (the weather prevented longer forages), sightseeing as Lund's tourist sign had suggested, and a lot of Yatzee. The return trip home was largely uneventful. It's a holiday to be recommended for those who are in earnest about \"getting away from it all\", who have no real expectations of the End of the Road, and who don't have the money to fly to Mexico. And sure as the road don't go no further, when you get back, everyone will ask \"What's in Lund?\" New arts telecourses offered on Coast Sunshine Coast area residents can tune in lo two new visual arts telecourses this January by Emily Carr College of Art & Design (ECCAD) and the Open University.

Seanna MacPherson and co- producer Lori Hagan have been working on the concept of \"Toothpic\" since July of last year. The film, destined to be entered in the Canadian Film Festival circuit, makes use of computer graphics, live action and found footage (appealing images re-created for Him). In the film, a computer-generated image of a small fellow representing all things male in the \"constructed\" world we live in is loose upon the earth with a large gun, destroying whatever Thursday night snooker at (libsons and Sechelt Legions Is being put to the test as a doubles league. Top shooter Len Homenchuk, left, is rinding the competition tierce but hopes their tour team Legion Snooker League will draw more people looking Tor a relaxing, entertaining evening. Joel Johnstone photo. he contacts The world being destroyed, ironically, is also a creation (conceptually) of the male figure. The gun the figure fires results in mass destruction on the atomic level. Not content with plaguing the outside world, the tiny but Ramboesque character enters the home which, in the film, is a place where animation succumbs to reality. In the home,\"Toothpic's\" only live actor, Barbara Corbctt, is found doing domestic chores. Glancing up from her ironing she sees a reflection of Rambo in the toaster, firing his potentially lethal weapon at her. According lo MacPherson, the woman, upon seeing the male figure revealed in the toaster, has three choices; she can become a victim to male domination, she can ignore him, or she can react. Barbara reacts; but to know how, it will be necessary to view the film. MacPherson said there is a challenge she appreciates in working with short films that comes from getting as much message or impact across to Ihe audience in as short a time as possible. \"1 find when you're working with short films you end up working much more conceptually and much more abstractly than if you were working with a full length feature,\" she said. \"Every element has lo have some significance.\" The first of \"Toiithpic's\" three segments was finished just before Christmas when a filming crew of 18 \"high quality\" volunteers spent a weekend shooting. MacPherson said 10 volunteers were helping with post production. And volunteer effort is appreciated by the artist - funding for the project is still in the air MacPherson needs to come up with something over $7,000 of the projected $10,000 budget. Lack of funding, however, doesn't deter MacPherson, it's just a step in the process. It may also give insight lo the name she chose for her production Company, Tightrope Productions. \"I'll raise the money,\" she said, \"I have to. It comes down in will and desire, and 1 have to make Ihis thing no matter what\" Concert helps teen mothers Bing Jensen, winner of 'Children's Performer of the Year' at the 1991 West Coast Music Awards, has recently released a brand new children's album, Human Hands, and the Sunshine Coasl Teen Parent Education Association is benefitting from it here on the Sunshine Coast. Shari finch calls Bing \"...the ultimate children's performer. He has a wonderful child-like spirit and unique sense of humour...\", while Allan Kellog in the Edmonton Journal says Bing \"...is a national treasure.\" Wearing one of his numerous other hats, Bing has performed on the Coast with Vancouver band 'Brain Damage'. On his last visit, he played a fundraiser dance for the Teen Parent Education Association, and was only loo willing to have the association sell his new album as a fundraiser for the program at Elphinstone Secondary School. The association's program has two components: one is educational, with young mothers returning to high school to work towards graduation; the other is the provision of quality daycare for their infants and toddlers at Esprit, the daycare located on the grounds at Elphinstone. The tape is available at Pastimes in Sechelt and Sayward Books in Sunnycrest Mall. It costs $13 of which $3 go directly to the Teen Parent Education Association to support Esprit. R0CKW00D events Community hall becoming too expensive for locals? New Year's Eve bomb dropped in Roberts Creek BOX 2154 SECHEU, B.C. J VON 3A0 CONTEST by Stuart tumaloi It was like being at the tail end of an all-night party in which some 200 guests had been invited. The music was still playing and about SO die- hards still hung on, but the life had gone out of them, really, and so had the original high- energy atmosphere. Those remaining seemed to be waiting for the sun to come up before straggling home. Unfortunately, the scene depicted is not the aftermath of night long festivities, but New Year's Eve at the Roberts Creek Hall, and the celebration, far from being over, had only been underway for an hour and a half. At 10:30 pm, midnight seemed an awfully long time away. The fifty-plus people at the hall on the evening of December 31 were the few who dug deeply enough into their pockets, wallets or purses to come up with the seemingly outrageous fee of $25 to celebrate at what was hoped would be a typical 'Creek' party, and to witness the Roberts Creek Blues Band (RCBB) do their thing. It's not like the RCBB aren't good; they played well from 9 pm until they quit around 2 am with only a moderate number of breaks, but $25? The Rolling Stones, AC/DC and soon the Crash Test Dummies might command a day's pay for the privilege of seeing them in concert, but the RCBB are not that much of a draw. When the band stopped at 2 am, there were only a half dozen or so people remaining in the building. Those who attended the dance were for the large part people from outside the area who heard the 'Creek' was the place to be on New Year's Eve. It usually is, but this year many of the locals were apparently scared away by the cost of the whole thing. In return for $25, aside from the honest efforts of the RCBB, those in attendance received party hats and noisemakers, streamers, and a platter of hors- d'oeuvres (vegetable slices, chips, bread and three or four kinds of dip). In contrast to New Year's Eve, some respectably large- name bands have appeared at the hall in recent months, and tickets have been in the neighbourhood of $12 each. Many have grumbled while paying even this but have done so because the events have been in the name of a worthy cause, like saving the hall, etc. And, in truth, ihe proceeds from the New Year's \"bash\" are to go to the Sunshine Coast Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. However, if the organizers broke even they will have been incredibly lucky. If there is a more positive aspect to the evening, it might be found in the hope that New Year's Eve, 1991 will serve as a lesson for future Roberts Creek \"community events\", a lesson which places community participation and enjoyment on at least a par with the desire for profit. 1992 SUNCOASTER MAGAZINE CONTEST Open to Sunshine Coast Residents and Forge Members , CATEGORIES: Fiction and Non-fiction 4350 'Q DEADLINE: Feb. 15,1992 PRlZ^ Entry Forms Available at Local Rook Stores ' and Coasl News Offices in Sechell and Gibsons NIGHT January 13-March 16 YOGA WITH SARA GERRING Beginners 6pm-7:30pin $58 85 Experienced 7:30-9:30pm $64.20 January 14 - March 17 fer 10 weeks STRETCH FOR HEALTH & FITNESS WITH ANNE GREGORY Tuesdays 9:30am-t t :30am $64.20 January 14 - March 17 YOGA WITH CAROL BR0PHY Beginners 6pm-7;30pm $58 85 Experienced 7:30-9:30pm $64.20 January 21 - March 10 torS weeks WATERCOLOUR WORKSHOP WITHLYALLNANSON Instruction tor all levels Tuesdays 9am \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD 12 noon $85.60 January 22-March 11 foc8 wMks GUITAR LESSONS WITH LYNN COHEN Beginner adults only Wednesdays 7 - 8pm $64.20 January 22 - March 11 KITCHEN CHEMISTRY FOR KIDS WITH LYNN COHEN Wednesdays 3:30-5pm $35 February 1 ANNUAL \"FESTIVAL- GARAGE SALE Donate your treasures and join the fun. 10am-3pm \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD 885-2522 THE ROCKWOOD CENTRE The BACKEDDY .Marine Pub Egmont Marina Resort, Friendly Country Legion Thursday Night Starting at 7:30 pm, Ian.9th.

Canadians also spent more than $25 million on admissions lo Junior \"A\" games for the Western hockey League, the Ontario Hockey League and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Youth hockey registration is increasing for both boys and girls. About 410,000 Canadian youngsters, including about 8000 girls, were registered in amateur hockey programs last year. Despite its popularity, hockey is not our national sport - that status belongs lo lacrosse. The first recorded hockey game was played in the mid 1800's between British soldiers stationed in Kingston. Onlario and Halifax, Nova Scotia. During its infancy, hockey was played on unmarked, outdoor rinks with no boards or nets, just snowbanks and wooden goal posls. As shinny (as it was known then) became popular across the country, leagues formed in the 1900's, leading to Ihe need for indoor rinks and artificial ice. With the addition of boards came the need for protective hockey equipment, and ihe rules evolved to provide for penalties and off-ice officials (lime keepers and goal judges). The first formal set of hockey rules was developed in the 1870's by a group of students from McGill University in Montreal. The McGill rules introduced a puck - a flat wooden disk - in place of a ball. Early rules called for nine players on each team instead of six. and there were no shifts. by Stuart Burnsids Slump jumping, chain rap, endo, strange sounding phrases lo the ears of the uninitiated, but very real terms for the Coast's growing collection of sport mountain bikers Guy Bullen is the president of Ihe Sunshine Coasl Off Road Bicycle Association (SCOR- BA), a non-profit organization aimed at encouraging the efforts of serious mountain bike riders on the Coast.

He noted, however, that alter a weeding out process, SCORBA now consists mainly of a lew enthusiastic riders and even has sponsorship from Sechell's Trail Bay S|H>rts for the more dedicated riders who want to compete in off- road racing.

Also participating in that race was another Trail Bay team member, Cymbol Wells, a 21 year-old athlete who Bullet) calls an \"incredible talent\" in the area of mountain bike riding \"Sometimes when I'm riding with (Wells) and we're going up a hill,\" Bullen said, \"1 locus just on making it to the lop while Cym Ixil din's 'wheelies' all the way up. It's like he's got lungs lhat are better than other people's.\" According to Wells, he has only lieen in the s|)ort as a competitor for a year but won most of his races in that lime period, He raced his first season largely in the Novice class Following Novice is the Sportsman category, which is followed hy the Expert class. Because of his impressive showing as a Novice, Wells has propelled himself over the Sportsman class lo land with pedals flying among the Experts; he will race in Ihe Expert class in the upcoming season of March through October. \"It's going to be lough,\" said Wells, who is still recovering from a shattered collar bone received in a training accident. \"Right now there are about five guys I know 1 have to beat.\" He told Ihe Coasl News he isn't training particularly hard at Ihe moment, both because of his still tender collar bone and because he is waiting for a new mountain bike that is to be provided hy sponsors in recognition of his effort and ability However he says he's going 10 Iw ready for his first race when the season starts at the end of March. Unfortunately for the average race participant, there isn't much monetary gain from winning a race, according to Bullen, certainly not enough lo support a racer, but money can be made by the really good riders. He said that beyond the BC racing circuit there is a calibre of race called the Pro Elite in which one competes in major circuits in the Stales and Europe. The World Cup is the pinnacle of off-road bicycle competition, Bullen said riders from over 40 countries participated in last year's World Cup, testifying to the growing popularity of the sport. This year the battle for the cup will lake place in Quebec. Because of mountain biking's growing popularity, Bullen seems optimistic about the future of the sporl on Ihe Coast, and said new members, both male and female, are always welcome to join SCOR BA - as long as they're serious riders He said Junior riders (under 19) were also welcome because, as he pin il, \"The younger riders are Ihe future of the sport.\" Interested liders can get more information about SCORBA through Bullen at XX5-1956 or by contacting Jeff at Trail Bay Sports.

Myers said it was\nunlikely Ihe program would\ncontinue in its present form\nafter 1992 because the federal\ngovernment agency responsible\nfor Ihe program's funding\ndoesn't view trades-oriented\nwomen on the Coast as a large\npool of participants.\nWomen In Trades students learn proper technique for\nhoisting sheets or plywood.\nStuart Hiunsiilf photo.\nRather than close the program if funding isn't available,\nhowever, Myers said she's discussed the possibility of allowing men into the program to\nensure its continuation.\n\"We have talked to our project officer and he said the program could run again if we\ninclude men,\" Myers said. \"It\nwould be really interesting lo\nsee how many guys would\ncome out to a course like this.\"\nMyers believes men could\nbenefit from the program in that\nthey often use tools and\nmachinery without really knowing what they're doing.\nShe said there is a life skills\nportion of the program that\nwould also benefit men because\nil teaches survival skills for suc\nceeding or at least coping in the\nworld.\n\"1 think the program would\nbe more difficult with men,\"\nMyers said, \"but if it worked,\nmen would come out of it and\nbenefit, and eventually the\natmosphere of the work place\n(outside the program) could be\nchanged.\"\nGas conversion\ngrants available\nMore People Now Eligible for Natural Gas Conversion Grants\nThe BC Energy and Mines Ministry has announced an expansion of the government's \"Clean Choice\" grant program to help\nresidents of Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast convert to\nnatural gas from other forms of energy.\nEligibility for funding has been expanded, with a new $500\ngrant for installation of approved natural gas fireplaces and wall\nheaters in homes heated by wood or electric baseboards.\nUnder the existing program, residents and small businesses can\nstill receive up to $700 in grants for installation of natural gas\nforced-air and hot-water space heating systems.

Hydrogen\nperoxide breaks down into\noxygen and water.\nHughes said 2000 tonnes of\nchlorine-free pulp, made during\nproduction feasibility testing in\nOctober of 1991, was shipped to\nGermany in November as a\ngauge for the potential demand\nfor the product. It sold before it\narrived.\nHe said German markets,\nalong with markets in\nSwitzerland and Austria, would\nbe the destination for the bulk\nof HSPP's chlorine free pulp\nand accounted for about 25 per\ncent of the mill's total export.\nThe new product will not\nmean additional business for\nHSPP, but will replace a portion\nof the mill's existing product.\nHowever, chlorine-free pulp\nis sold at a higher price, making\nit a more profitable venture.\n\"We have no trouble selling the\n(chlorine-free) pulps al a\nM denotes Maverick Bus\nlAA /MITTEN\nMasWmm REALTY LTD.\nIf you are Buying or Selling,\nthe realtor you choose can make the difference. 885-3295\nOUR SERVICE PRODUCES RESULTS! 681-7931\n Call us!

TFN ADVERTISING FOR TENANCY British Columbia legislation prohibits advertising which discriminates in Ihe rental of property. For example a person who stipulates 'no children* as a condition ol rental would be in violation ol Ihe Family Status and the Human Rights Ads. The landlord who places Ihe advertisement and Ihe newspaper which publishes it would both be in contravention ol the legislation and could have a complaint Wed against them. The Coast News will therefore not accept such discriminatory ads. Furnished 2 bdrm. apart., Davis Bay. 1 month only.

Her upstairs studio is bursting at the seams with finished an works and many others in varying stages of completion. From extruded plastics to mannequins and gilded collages of birds, Small's work in this garret space spans three decades. Her work is an eclectic collection with widespread exploration of media and subject matter. There are wall to wall images, some are part of a series of \"inner visions\", others are explorations in the recycling of mundane materials, the kinds of things most of us never see as innately beautiful or even capable of creative exploration. With enough finished work to open her own gallery, recently Small talked about h-r beginnings and her life on the Const, and about her changing role in the arts community. \"I had been painting here since we moved to Granlhams from Vancouver in 1959. In 1966, Maryanne West asked me if I had some paintings I'd like to show in Sechelt. The Arts Council had been formed by then and they had a little building; it's gone now. The gallery was about 10 by 12; and they thought it might be nice to gel some of the local artists to show Iheir work. My daughter Jo was about 12 and she had done some sketches, so we had a mother and daughter show. 1 got involved with the gallery then, and would go every Saturday to sit. \"We had that building for a few years and when it was sold, the Arts Council moved the gallery to the old Whittaker house, which is where Pacifica Pharmacy is now. Five or six years later we started raising money to build the Aits Centre, because Whittaker house was loo expensive to buy and renovate. \"We used to have a group that met there al night. We called ourselves the Sketch Club. We would meet and look at each other's work and talk about it. But we realized we didn't have any place to sell our work. That was where the idea for the gallery shop originated. In '79 when they expanded the upper mall in Gibsons, a lot of businesses from lower Gibsons moved into the expansion; so we were able to rent space for the Gallery Shop, which later became Hunter Gallery. \"Gradually the Arts Centre was being built, partly as a log house building project. It was designed by Clarke Steabner and opened in 1980. \"I've had two solo shows BRrmrtitbrr 3111 hru 5 years ago The Sunshine Coast experienced the highest tides in 50 years. There were fears that Ihe tides, coupled with high winds, would create havoc. Fortunately, ihe winds only blew when the tide was low and the Coast was spared. 10 years ago Effective immediately, public transportation via the familiar white community services Minibus will be available to Coast residents. Although service is very limited in the first stages of the project, the new service, called paratransit, will eventually provide transportation at convenient limes from Egmont to Port Mellon. 15 years ago The Coast News enters Ihe new year under new management. The new company when incorporated will lie known as Glassford Press Limited in honour of one of the pioneer families of Gibsons where the Coast News office is located. The entire slaff of the Coast News looks forward to serving the communities of this area. 25 Years Ago Resolutions, like piecrusts, were made to be broken. Janus, Ihe two-faced mythological diety of ancient lore is the root word for January, the first month of the year. The fact that he is two faced contains a connotation which perhaps gives resolution makers an easy out of living up to their resolve. Perhaps resolution makers might come to within the present news media hubbub known as the credibility gap. There will be a pronounced gap between resolution and performance. 35 Years Ago The Powell River bus to Vancouver crowded with Christmas travellers plunged off the highway and careened down a steep, rocky embankment in Ihe black of night. It happened where (he highway runs by Ruby Lake between Earls Cove and Kleindale near Pender Harbour. The heavy vehicle rolled over three times for nearly 100 feel down an almost perpendicular slope of jagged rocks and was saved from going into the lake by a clump of trees which wedged it upright, standing on its wheels, lights still burning though badly wrecked. Oliver Dubois, well-known logging operator, brought stretchers and a truck which served as an ambulance. Jerry Gordon also assisted with transportation to rush the injured to hospital. All the injured were given treatment at St. Mary's and only five had to remain over the holiday. 45 Years Ago Not available for this issue. SYLVIA Make the Sylvia part of your Vancouver adventure...

Joel Johnstone photo there and have been fortunate enough to be successful in 12 juried shows, and in five or six provincial 'Images and Objects' shows. In 1989, I won the Gillian Lowndes Award.\" When asked about the origins of her creative energy, Trudy takes us back to her early days in northern Ontario. \"I grew up during the depression, in the gold mining camps. We moved a lot from mining town to mining town, Kirkland Lake, South Porcupine, Tim- mins. Lots of people couldn't pay the rent then, even though it was only five or six dollars a month. So they built houses on the outside of town. They were just tar paper shacks really, nothing that would pass a building code today, that's for sure. \"When 1 left all of those quaint little places to study art in Toronto, it was quite a culture shock. I had been recommended by a teacher for the College of Art. People didn't really take art seriously then. Most of the graphic art was being done by Europeans. Today you talk about art and then you develop a piece and you do il over and over again until you're finished. It wasn't like that then. You did all your work in class. We worked from 9 am to 3:30 pm with a break for lunch. \"In the early 50s 1 came to Vancouver with a girlfriend for her wedding. The wedding didn't take place for several months and although 1 had planned to go back, I just never In moving to the Sunshine Coast, Trudy Ihought she would escape Ihe torrential rains of Vancouver. She recalls the challenges she faced. \"We lived in Granlhams for three years until we found this place on South Fletcher. It was a summer house we were going to renovate. The walls were plank and for years friends of my daughter would come here after school and on Sundays and we would do art. Painting, sketching, we were inspired by all sorts of things. And you couldn't hurt the walls so it was okay. \"It was hard to get art supplies here. I can remember taking old sheets, stretching them, and covering them with white house paint. They made pretty good canvas. Sometimes I painted on cardboard and paper bags. I started recycling early. Even today 1 recycle all kinds of things into my work.\" When asked about the future, Trudy says she'd like lo have a couple of shows in Vancouver, bul she hasn't planned anything definite yet. \"My work is always evolving, and 1 try lo find new ways of seeing and , j,using old or familiar objects.\" Trudy still volunteers her time every week at Hunter Gallery, where she enjoys meeting new artists. \"In the last couple of years there have been almost a hundred new artists and artisans who have come to the Coast to make it their home. It's really quite wonderful to see.\" CHANNEL ELEVEN Community Programming Coast Cable 11 Tuesday January 7,1992 7:00 pm One* upon a Steam Train Included in the show is an in depth look at the Royal Hudson. 7:30 pm The Policeman Became an Artist Gibsons RCMP Sergeant Ed Hill is an artist.
