The meeiing organized by the Fishermen's Survival Coalition was one of several taking place in coastal BC communities, where commercial fishermen say they've been excluded from fisheries planning. At the meeting Wednesday, fishermen said both their livelihoods and the salmon resource are being threatened by politically motivated decisions. 'Issue sensitive even within the native community' \"Our way of life and our livelihood is certainly under change right now,\" said local coalition member Ron Malcolm \"...we've had very little input into what's happening to us.\" Bob Rezansoff, a coalition organizer from Vancouver, said fishermen are worried after last summer's experimental native fisheries on the Fraser River. \"The commercial food fishery was largely uncontrolled in most areas,\" said Rezansoff. And he added, \"It isn't just the Fraser...it's happening all over.\" The fishermen's coalition wants the government to stop commercial food fisheries, said Rezansoff. and to return effective control to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. \"You can't have control of that resource fragmented.\" he said, and called the idea of native bands enforcing regulations in their own fisheries \"complete nonsense: If we were put in charge of fishing in any given area, we'd take advantage of that too.\" Most of all, said coalition members, fishermen want politics taken oul of fish management, particularly when it involves using fishing agreements as interim land claims settlements. \"There are right ways and wrong ways of increasing native participation in the fishery,\" said Phil Eby, executive director of the Vessel Owners Association. \"There's a political agenda oul Ihere.\" Calvin Craigan, chairman of the Sechelt Indian Band's new fisheries commission and member of the band's I Innovative reading program primes Sechelt students land claims negotiating committee, also spoke to fishermen at the meeiing Sale of food fish is a sensitive issue even within the native communily said Craigan. with differences of opinion between native commercial fishermen and other band members But most Sechell native fishermen would rather have greater participation by natives in the commercial fleet than increased sale of lood fish. Said Craigan: \"We don't agree with what's happening on the Fraser or the Skeena.\" \"They've given the native bands an inch and they've taken a mile...that's only human,\" said Craigan. turn to page 2 by Darah Hansen The strongest indicator of a student at risk of dropping out of high school is difficulty with reading. Often that difficulty is identified early on at the primary level and teachers do what they can to help individual students within a group atmosphere. But that hasn't always been enough as some students continue to slip through the cracks. With that in mind, John Nicholson has implemented a Reading Recovery program, now in its first year at Sechelt Elementary. Former principal at the school, Nicholson said he heard of the program through contact with colleges in New Zealand where it originated under the studies of Dr. Marie Clay in the 1970s and '80s. Clay discovered, said Nicholson, that students respond best to intensive one- on-one instruction with highly trained teachers who are able to provide each individual with the \"right\" material. The individual touch is important, said Nichol- son.\"Every student is different.\" The program is most effective in grade one. The students needing the most help are identified in their classrooms \"before they have a chance to fail,\" said Nicholson. \"We always want kids to succeed.\" Once a day for IS weeks, the students each meet for half an hour with the specially trained teacher. Here they read and write text geared lo their individual needs, they are taught to pick up visual cues in the material and learn how to attach 'Students respond best to intensive one-on-one instruction' meaning to the words. \"It's one of the most effective reading strategies known,\" said Nicholson, citing a 90 per cent success rate in New Zealand, a country which boasts the highest literacy rate in the world. Assisted by an $8,000 grant from the federal Stay in School funding and matching funds from both the school district and the Sechelt Indian Band, Nicholson was able to get a tike program up and running at Sechelt. As principal of Gibsons Elementary this year, Nicholson would like to see the program implemented there and, ideally, in every primary school. But in the short term it's very expensive, he said, \"though in the long run it's cheap because schools won't have to invest in on-going learning assistance.\" At present eight grade one students are in the program under the direction of teachers Joe Chell and Frank Thorburn. Primary teacher Shirley Kuciuk is also involved, using the techniques in her classroom. All three teachers are involved in continuous training with a special Reading Recovery instructor in Port Angeles, Wash. As a parent and a school board trustee, Lenora Joe couldn't say enough good things about Reading Recovery. Her son has been in the program since the beginning of the year and she says the difference she's noticed in his reading skills and self-esteem is tremendous. Exploring the good will of Christmas through a series of performances, Cedar Grove Elementary students reach out to touch hands, hearts and minds with their message. Joel Johnstone photo Distressed boaters send search teams on goose chase by Darah Hansen Sechelt's RCMP marine unit and the national Coast Guard spent the early hours on Thursday morning searching the waters off Flume Road for a missing person thought to be adrift in a small, open runabout More than 30 officers, including the search and rescue helicopter crew from Comox air force base, were called in to par- Mounties recover stolen boat off Flume Beach ticipate in the search, which began when local RCMP received a report at approximately 5 am of a boat in distress near Roberts Creek. Arriving first in the Sechelt RCMP boat Stikine, officers discovered a 33-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman calling for help. Their boat, a 20- foot aluminum log-salvager, had run up on the rocks. A search ensued when the two people told police a third member of their party had departed in a smaller skiff alone. After approximately three hours, police determined the story of the third person was fictional and the search was called off. \"It was a cover up,\" said Sechelt RCMP Constable Randy Fisk. \"The two people were try ing to say this unknown third person stole the boat.\" The boat, later reported stolen from Gibsons harbour, was towed back to its owner, sustaining some damage while the two suspects, both unharmed in the accident, were taken into custody and later released. Pending an investigation, charges of possession of stolen property are anticipated. Joint development offer revives Rockwood hopes for building Lot H arts centre expansion A tentative deal has been struck between the Rockwood Lodge Society and a local investor for a joint development on Lot H, but subject to legal approval the society board is remaining tight-lipped about the proposal. Facing a Jan. 8 deadline to exercise an option to purchase the 5.9 acre parcel adjacent to Rockwood to build a Centre of Excellence for the Arts, the society recently went to the development community when it found it was unable on its own to raise the $440,000 needed to buy Lot H. The society's predicament was compounded by Rock- wood's having invested $18,000 since July to keep the purchase option alive. Two developers had previously expressed interest in some sort of joint venture for the site, but Rockwood did not pursue the idea at the time as it was originally hoping to raise the money in the community and with local government assistance. Those plans failed to materialiseJ. Meanwhile, a $500,000 federal grant has been approved by Community Futures toward construction costs of the proposed arts centre if the land can be secured. The board met Wednesday to review a joint development offer and has agreed to proceed. However, no information was released and the society has decided to keep a lid on what the proposal involves until the details and legalities have been ironed out. Regional district tax hike possible by Jane Seyd Merry Christmas to rural property owners of the Sunshine Coast from directors of the regional district: your taxes could be rising. That's if the board's provisional budget - not finalized until the spring - goes according to plan. How much more is an average owner likely to fork over? Maybe a lot. maybe nothing. Regional directors say they don't know, because they haven't yet received property assessment figures from the BC Assessment Authority, which covers both increased values on existing homes and new construction. Unofficial word has it that overall assessments on the Coast are up substantially, by between 30 and 40 per cent, says regional administrator Larry Jardine. One way or another, though, the board plans on getting about $1 million more in taxes for the 1993 budget than they had in 1992, for a grand total of $4,926,655 revenue from taxation compared to last year's $3,863,087. Thai's double the tax revenue of $2,317,897 spent by the regional district only four years ago. Finance chairman Brett McGillivray calls that \"a considerable increase,\" but says it's a sign of the times and the result of increased demand for services. These include a change from a half-time to a full-time coordinator's position for the Provincial Emergency Program, hiring of additional inspectors for planning, increases to public transit and more employment to take care of the regional district's parks. The largest area of increase, however, is under the category of \"environmental health\" where spending is estimated at $965,765 - up from spending last year of $583,285. About $120,000 of the amount lo be spent is money carried over from this year's budget to deal with the as-yet unresolved issue of the Pender Harbour landfill. Another substantial expense will be the hiring of a co-ordinator to come up with a solid waste management plan this year, as required by the provincial government. Another controversial change included in the budget is the formal splitting of the existing planning function into \"electoral area planning,\" in which only the rural areas will participate, and \"development services.\" which will include the municipalities. Gibsons mayor Eric Small said he wasn't happy about that and advised directors not to \"count on collecting money from the municipalities.\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Coast News, December 21, 1992 AS* VARI Ka\PPUS and BELLMIRA #X'- _*-m*_\ Soaps & ^\>_r\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' BubbIe g^ * I Buy 2 or more i GET 10% OFF FOODS from GLlite travel 4 fiimi OffitsVg QSkOtdp, V*m CWitty, ^ynwn-\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'iv*.* Resource mismanaged, fishermen claim from page I Bul he added problems with lack of enforcement and illegal practices extend outside the aboriginal community. Fishermen also need to look al wider problems like fishing agreements with Ihe US, offshore Ashing and growing pollution of coastal waters, he commented. The key is for local fishermen to work together, said Craigan, \"or by the lime we settle Ihis issue there'll be no more lish.\" Bill Moore, regional economic development officer, also handed oul surveys to fishermen at lhe meeiing, in order lo pul together a report on bolh Ihe cultural and economic role of commercial fishing on Ihe Coasl. According lo rough membership surveys, about 280 people on Ihe Sunshine Coasl have direct lies lo the commercial fishing industry. Following the meeting, Rex Davy, a commercial fishermen for Ihe pasl 18 years, said it's important for fishermen lo get the word out now about what's happening in the industry. \"People in BC slill don't understand the full ramifications of a commercialized food fishery,\" he commented. Meanwhile Craigan blamed government blunders for growing hostility towards native fishing. \"They not only mismanaged our resource, but they've turned the commercial fishery against the native food fishery.'' Coast fishermen at a gathering in Sechell voice fears their way of life and livelihood is at risk because of changes in fisheries management. Jane Seyd photo Pearse report documents fishing abuses by Jane Seyd Lasl summer, at the height of the fishing season and new co-management agreements with native bands on the lower Fraser River, almost half a million sockeye salmon \"disappeared\" on Iheir way to the spawning grounds, sparking angry debate in the fishing communily. This month, a report commissioned' by Ihe Department of Fisheries and Oceans confirms what many fishermen say Ihey already knew: salmon were over-fished both iir and out of the new agreement areas, wilh much of the catch sold illegally. And Ihe scene on the banks of Ihe Fraser last summer described in the report by Peter Pearse is not a pretty picture. According to the report, nets in Ihe lower Fraser River doubled during peak fishing times from 434 in 1991 to 883 in the summer of 1992, while intensive fishing was also reported upstream from the agreement areas. Reports included upstream fish being trucked down to sale sites on Ihe lower Fraser, says Pearse, while formerly rare illegal practices like drift gillnet fishing were observed. Of the salmon which actually did make it to the spawning grounds upriver, a disproportionate percentage were females, and up lo 60 per cent of some returning stocks showed net markings. 'It cannot be repeated without seriously threatening tbe salmon resources' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPearse re/Hiii excerpt While what happened lasl summer does noi mean a disaster to the sockeye, Pearse says: \"It cannot be repeated without seriously threatening Ihe salmon resources.\" Originally, Ihe one-year trial agreements with Ihree Indian bands on the lower Fraser were meant both lo give native people a greater participation in fisheries management and to begin regulating the existing illegal sale of food fish. The program also followed recommendations by a government land claims task force to allow native bands \"interim\" agreements on fisheries management, pending settlement of overall land claims. But according lo Pearse, problems soon developed. Among them: fishing began wilh no proper management plan or training of \"guardians\" who were supposed lo administer Ihe new agreements and local fisheries officers were forbidden lo lay charges on the Fraser. In Ihe resulting chaos, protest fisheries were staged by bands on Ihe upper Fraser and fishing by outsiders also grew, as word soon spread that both enforcement and monitoring of catches had been abandoned. In future, says Pearse, agreements on Ihe Fraser should be made collectively with native bands rather than individually, for belter co-ordinalion and management of Ihe fishery. So far, chiefs of 97 Fraser River bands have been invited lo start negotiating a collective agreement for 1993 in January, to be made final in Ihe spring. Training will also begin in January for native \"guardians\" who help administer Ihe fishery. Gibsons council hedges on new library site Approval for a new Gibsons public library to be built in Holland Park, subject to a feasibility study being completed, ran into another hurdle last week. Gibsons council decided to table the matter pending clarification of the library board's intent. Mayor Eric Small and Cllr. Walter Bradshaw said they were under the impression a site-specific study would be carried out for the south-cast comer of Holland Park, opposite the post office. Bul Cllr. Ted Hume said he understood that the feasibility study would examine Ihe whole park in order lo determine the best localion. Cllr. Ed Sleeves, who was absent from the library meeting when the arrangements were made and Ihe subsequent committee session al which Ihe deal was recommended for approval, expressed reservations aboul the whole process. The library has been seeking site approval for more than a year, but has been delayed while council has wrestled with a new official community plan and its vision for future Holland Park use and Ihe communily desire lo see green space mainlained in lower Gibsons.

Jardine said the regional board had not formally agreed to Ihe idea of going to referendum over ice arena funding but had verbally accepted the possibility when the matter was raised by Sechell mayor Nancy MacLarty al a recent board meeting. Jardine said thai, following a referendum, Sechell would retain control of the arena while SRCD funding would help with ils operation.

At Wednesday's meeiing, councillors agreed to send a letter to the SCRD officially requesting that Ihe referendum be held as early as possible. In bringing the subject up, MacLarty noted lhat a large number of the arena's users come from outside the municipality and are essentially subsidized by the taxpayers of Sechelt to use the facility. \"If something doesn't happen we'll either have to go to a two-tier system, or consider closing (the arena),\" she said. Under a two-lier system, Ihere would be two sets of ice rental fees, those for Sechell residents, and a higher fee for those living outside the municipality. \"We don't want to have to do that,\" MacLarty said, \"but that's the way we're heading.\" The arena, which users claim has one of the highest ice rental costs in Ihe province, runs an annual deficit of around $150,000.

The Sunshine Coast community Services Society (SCCSS) has received a $40,000 pledge from the foundation toward the purchase of the society's building on Inlet Avenu, according to Vicki Dobbyn, SCCSS execulive director.

SCCSS is an umbrella organisation for family and children's ser- vteetfv'itlcludirtg the parent/lot drop in centre, providing special ser vices to children, children's physiotherapy and occupational therapy. The society also sponsors the Coast's Transition House, a children's sexual abuse treatment program and a new women's counselling program to begin in January. Dobbyn said she was \"delighted\" with the grant. The Gibsons Teen outreach centre also received a grant for $5,000, which co-ordinator Emily Barber-Gareau said would be used to stock a library for the facility as well as purchase a sound system. \"The young people can't live without tnusic,\" she said, Needful Things GIBSONS, B.C Print from original watercolour by Lyall Nanson |S\" Order through E&E Photography, 287 Gower Ft.

In announcing plans for the demonstration, local IWA representative Murray Cantelon issued a three-page attack on the forest ministry decision, which he described as an ill-measured response lo \"the pressure of extreme environmenlal groups and self-serving special inleresl groups.\" The IWA predicts lhat some 120 direct forestry jobs will be lost as a result of the cut, with an additional 240 retail and service jobs threatened. The financial impact will extend lo loss of stumpage revenues, an increase in UIC and social assistance payments, increased bankruptcies and more social services demands, Cantelon added. According to the IWA, the nel result will be a $30 million economic loss on Ihe Coast, affecting every communily from Port Mellon to Egmont. The union has argued that the cut is not based on sustainability figure, and is too drastic lo impose all at once; a phased reduction would allow for retraining, research and development and compensation for displaced workers, their families and communities. \"Extreme environmentalists do not care about the social or economic impacts,\" said Cantelon. \"Many are prepared to worship trees and sacrifice families.\" The demonstration, which took place after the Coast News deadline, was scheduled for 1 pm and expected to lasl 90 minutes.

At stake is use of Holland Park, a critical piece of green space in lower Gibsons that is not technically a park, but public institutional land. There is no intention to chiinge that designation in the new community plan currently being refined at town hall. At Ihe same time, there is a clear desire lo see green space preserved, especially with the town facing unprecedented growth pressures. In the face of this planning pas-de-deux. the library board has been playing wallflower, feeling the crush while looking oo from the sidelines. There simply isn't enough room at the existing library. The prevailing political mood at town hall recognizes that the library has been operating from a site on Holland Park and that it is an appropriate location for a larger building that would accommodate community needs into the future. Converting that will into a firm commitment at town, however, h.is eluded the library board all year. And now, having at least wrung a qualified okay from council to proceed with planning for Holland Park and undertake a sile feasibility study, the dreaded rumblings of doubt are resurfacing. The debate has been lingering on too long already; frustrations mount while library service diminishes. Close the book on the issue for the good of all. Breaking doors, robbing mouths Acts of vandalism are usually senseless, destructive impulses delivered indiscriminately and without malice. Yet it is impossible to believe that even the most mindless hooligans are unaware what property they have set about to destroy or what damage is being inflicted in pursuit of cheap thrills. So it's safe to assume that whoever broke into the Sechelt food bank last week, the third time this year the MMMg-tiM been raided, knew what they were doing as they opened boxes and cans of food and splashed their contents about the place. Usually the damage - stupid, upsetting and costly though it is - extends no further than the property itself, be it public or private. It is the unseen cost that is truly , disturbing about the food bank rampage. Relying, as it does, exclusively on donations, and serving an ever-widening net of families and individuals, the food bank loss has a direct impact on the lives of people struggling to feed the most basic human need: hunger. The perpetrators of the food bank break-in deserve the condemnation being heaped upon them, even while they lie beyond the law's reach. There's been an unhealthy run of break-ins in Sechelt of late. Plaudits to Mayor Nancy MacLarty and a council member who preferred to remain nameless for putting up their own money as a reward for conviction. A stint of community work at the food bank would be appropriate retribution for the culprits and a critical learning experience so obviously now lacking. letters Council lax on key issues At a recent meeiing of Gibsons town council I slated: \"I think the character of this (own is changing and not necessarily for the belter.\" 1 used the recent clear-cutting of a three acre parcel of land right in the centre of the township as one example. The owner responsible for ihis degradation of an important pan of our communily was not bound by any regulations to consider alternative means of dealing with a perfectly beautiful little forest. A totally unacceptable mess was left behind: stumps, plowed-up soil and mud puddles, again without any attempt by our municipal governmenl lo hold Ihe owner to some rudimentary form of clean up or visual upgrading. The Municipal Act gives local governments extensive powers to deal wilh the protection and integrity of local assets, such as old and valuable trees. Why are such powers not enforced? This is not the only issue of serious concern. I find Ihe level of building development, both in terms of scope and quality, unacceptable. The part of Highway 101 running through upper Gibsons is an aesthetic nightmare. Strip development without additional lanes, traffic regulators and proper setbacks make it often impossible to get in and out of mails and parking lots. The visual appearance of the business districl would have benefitted from Ihe retention of clusters of irees. Does Ihe town have a design panel thai could make convincing recommendations lo keep this place aesthetically pleasing? Another item is general mainlenance. The road system is crumbling under the impact of too much (raffle and too little mainlenance like curbing, storm sewer installation and patching of defective road surfaces. There is no money and no tax base, we are laid. Bul couldn't a creative and innovative council come up wilh schemes of raising exlra money (Needful Things, perhaps) or gelling the citizenry involved in helping with garbage control, maintenance of ditches and planting of flowers? Safely: whal can be done to make Gibsons a safe place for pedestrians? For two years I have been trying lo coax council inio putting in sidewalks along Crucil and Hillcresl and filling in a dangerous sewer hole right in front of housing where children live. The response again: there is no money, besides il is the responsibility of the department of highways. Is this lo mean lhat after Iwo years council still hasn't established a cooperative relationship wilh highways to gel roads fixed. PETER PAUL OCHS Gibsons Pender dump condition angers An open letter to Jane Reid, director Area A I visited our dump site this morning as I do every three weeks wilh my minuscule offering of waste, and was angered by the slate I found our landfill sile in. This is by the way how il has been every lime I have made a trip ihere in the past two and one-half years. Cardboard, glass, tin cans everywhere. An absolute wasle of recyclable material.

I am not sure what it is going to lake lo solve ihis problem in a way lhat works for us all and is in harmony with nature. We are continuing to do whal we have always done - dump our mess into the landfill site, consequences be damned. Status quo doesn't work for me. STEPHEN GARRETT Garden Bay, BC Economists endlessly seeking for solutions in vain? I think that it was George Bernard Shaw who, half a century ago, made the observation: \"If all the economists in the world were laid end to end they still wouldn't reach a conclusion.\" If there has been a sure fire growth industry since then it has been in the field of economics. OM G.B.S.'s wry observation if made today might include the world's economists being laid end to end and six deep in a globe-girdling line bul with a similar inability to reach any kind of conclusion. There was, for example, the fascinating and even hopeful exercise undertaken last week by President Elect Bill Clinton. To Little Rock, Arkansas, the incoming presidenl of the Uniled States summoned some of the best minds in America for round table discussions about the slate of and the path for the world's only remaining superpower. It was fascinating and it was hopeful because here was an elected leader, having won office, seeking a broad consensus from the captains of industry, the leaders of trade unions, and those concerned with the well being of people on what his country can and should try to do for the welfare of all. We are more accustomed in North America, and probably in that other cradle of Canada the United Kingdom, to political leaders who get elected claiming to know exactly what to do. We are more musings John burnside accustomed lo the captains of industry, the trade unions, and the caregivers being locked in automatic and patterned hostility. This was an impressive undertaking and the consensus of the political observers seemed to be that both Clinton and Gore were impressive in their management of it. Both the presidenl and lhe vice-president elect, il seemed, impressed with the breadth and depth of their information and their understanding. When in this country have we been permitted to see the executive branch of government wrestling publicly with crucial decisions? Our prime minister has just signed the North American Free Trade Agreement with the United States and Mexico and, to the best of my knowledge, not even the legislators in Ottawa have yet seen the text of the agreement That is more typical of the decision-making process than what happened in Little Rock last week. And speaking briefly of our prime minister, was anyone else as incredulous as myself when he proclaimed at a Conservative fundraiser in Edmonton that the incoming American president was about to adopt the tactics of the Progressive Conservative party of Canada in the twin and conflicting problems of creating jobs and wrestling the economic deficit under control. Two questions present themselves. Why would anybody seek to emulate the policies of a government which has seen the country's debt more than triple and the numbers of jobless increase almosl a decade after it got elected promising to solve both problems. Secondly, even if the conference in Little Rock was a fascinating and admirable exercise, it still didn't break the George Bernard Shaw rule. The assembled intellects obviously relished the exchange and the opportunity to be heard, but they certainly did not come to any conclusion. If Clinton, still not in command, does not know what he's going to do how can Mulroney proclaim that the Americans will follow the Canadian lead, and God help us all if they do. Our remarkable prime minister is showing us quite a trick here, folks. He seeks to ride the coattails of the Ameri can president on the way to economic solvency all the while proclaiming that he, Mulroney, is really wearing the coat. Everyone in Canada will be affected by the decisions thai Clinton eventually does reach and we must all therefore wish him well. A lot of decisions are going lo have to be carefully made and all of them are going to have to be the right ones before the economic shambles that we have managed to achieve becomes more order- iy. Meanwhile, mixed messages abound. Some economists call for stimulation to create jobs and taxpayers so we can begin lo reduce our deficits. Conservative economists slill call for a fierce retrenchment on virtually all social spending to curb the deficits. These boys and their political equivalents are the masters of steely eyed resolve in the face of someone else's suffering. In truth, the latter is the prevailing international wisdom of the day. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have been insisting to the Third World for a decade that starvation, disease and misery have to be endured and the people sacrificed on the altar of fiscal prudence. No one in Canada seems to have any solutions. Unless Bill Clinton and his round table can find a bener and a different answer soon, it may be that North America's turn to suffer is at hand.

People who play music to us on the radio, for example, don'l seem lo have ihis sort of a problem. The music is traditional right? And traditional is what it's all about? So, more or less, you just play il all back over again, and everyone is totally happy, and in fact might attack you if you did anything else. Somehow ihis does noi work the same way with written stuff. People, readers that is, expect il lo be new and even different, and unless you are Dickens or Damon Runyon or Dr. Seuss or Dylan Thomas or whoever, you can'l expect to be just running il by Yuletide to Yuletide. And yet, I would say, Christmas presents an increasingly thorny problem, more the spikes on the holly than the berries. On the radio today (Wednesday), there was a phone-in program questioning what people felt was most stressful about the season to be jolly, and more people out there than could be accommodated were piling in with heart-rending examples ranging from being pressured into making more mince pies than was natural to having to clean up the house for visiting relatives. But nobody mentioned Ihe writer's problem: whal to write about Christmas in '92? There are, of course, slill all those quite marvellous memories - moonlight on snow and young carollers crunching aboul from house lo house. Mornings when you woke up earlier than ever before, crawled to lhe end of your bed, and found a small flashlight in the mouth of your stocking. But, of course, all Ihis stuff seems hopelessly of the pasl, really. The story lhal occurs lo me is not chosen as any kind of commentary on the world today, ll is true lhal Ihe people in ii are all kind of cocked up. They are in fact, by definition cocked up, but Ihey are or have been, leaders in their various fields and they come together, one Christmas, from widely scattered parts of Canada. They were all, men and women, notable over-doers in Ihe area sometimes referred lo as 'Christmas cheer.' They were year-round Chrislmas cheerers, and they had collected on this particular Chrislmas in Dr. Bell's well known spot for the care and advising of the variously addicted. Two of Ihem, Newfoundlanders, one a professor and lhe other a top hydrographies man, had been long companions in their chosen bars in St. John's. They had taken care to give each other plausible excuses for where Ihey were going to be over this period, and were astonished to find themselves al Dr. Bell's. This kind of camouflage was In a nutshell HAPPY HOLIDAY! Sincere good wishes for a joyous Noel to our good friends and customers. May the best of this Holiday Season be yours. Grandma's Toy Box Sunnycrest Mall 886-3044 pretty well general. A lop currency dealer for lhe Bank of Montreal was visiting his family in Ireland, lhe matron of nurses at a St. John's hospital was on some sort of a sabbatical, etc. A leading Toronto arlist, whom some of the people recognized, had lo be called by a different name. Still there ihey all were, for a monlh, and Christmas was going lo be in il, and Chrislmas was a notably touchy time for many of these people. Dr. Bell's warmly humane and wise program, considered al lhal lime Ihe best on the continent, required thai a group would, in ils second week, present a skit on the stage to the rest of the people, the staff and visitors. I was there for one of ihese and someway it has stayed in my memory. ll was, of course, aboul drink and Christmas. An alarm bell rang on a darkened stage and when the lights came up Santa Ciaus awakened lo his annual duties. He started wandering around looking for something which stuart nutter most of ihe audience realized was going lo be a bottle of something, which he eventually discovered in the bulge of his stomach. Then he wenl about rounding up his crew and offering them a toi. The crew included Scrooge, Molher tioose, Santa's helpers and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. All were clearly in parlous slate. Mother Goose, the matron of nurses, had a basket with a dead goose in it and when Scrooge, lite international money dealer, pulled it oul he said: \"This goose is slone.\" And so il wenl. Al lhe end, they have all been converted and have gone on antabuse. Antabuse is a drug which, if you lake it and lake a drink, a sip even, will cause you to fall down and turn blue. Hardly, you would think, the stuff for Chrislmas merriment. It was this, I guess, which keeps the skit in my mind. Here were these people with almost no reason to celebrate the holiday slill making it a happy Christinas.

My opposition lies in the reaction by our Sechelt nation. The article made it sound that it was their way or no way. My understanding was that it was delayed and put through the appropriate legal channels. The threat of ending the band's good neighbour policy sounds like just that - a threat. To say that quote \"...We've been giving, giving, giving...they've been taking from us.\" I find this very bitter and unfounded. I think it is high time for all Canadians to stand together as ONE, not divided as Canadians and Natives. Finally I very much resent the last paragraph quote \"It's only when the last tree is cut down, the last river poisoned, the last air polluted and the last of the fish caught that people will believe you can't live, breathe and eat money.\" When I see our Sechelt Native fishermen laying nets across river mouths at spawning time, then selling salmon for $1 per pound, I really think that the Sechelt Nation should lake a long hard look at themselves. The native population has no restrictions on quantities or time of year lhat Ihey can lake salmon. Is this a responsible attitude? The rest of Canadian fishermen must follow the governmenl rules of stock protection involving quotas and specific lime limits sel up lo protect the future of our fishing resources. JULIE FLAG Sechelt Arena schedule disappointing With regard lo the recently published Sechelt Ice Arena hours of operation, it should have been referred to as hours of non-operation. How unfortunate for the children and youth of the Coast lo have one of Iheir few facilities closed for much of the duration of Iheir Christmas vacation. A free skate on the 24th and another public skate on the 27th are all that is offered. How disappointing for those who find new skates under their Iree Christmas morning.

I was 11 then, going on 12 and we four boys in grade 6 were the biggest kids in our one room school. Of course, at Christmas concert time we marched right up to Ihe guy in the red suit to gel our presents, bul afterwards we'd snicker wise-like and figure who it was lhat was dressed up Ihis year. Season's Greetings and all the best for 1993 to you & yours, from us at I Show Piece Gallery I Gilbert was Ihe biggest of Ihe four of us and bossy and kind of mean in the tricks he'd play on the rest of us, especially me. Boy, what wouldn't I give to get the better of Gilbert just a few titties, even once. At recess on our rink, it was just snow packed down. His team would be 10 to 20 goals to our team's goose egg. Gilbert wasn't the only cause of my trouble though. Miss Kil- lick had told me to find a recitation for my part in the concert. Gosh, recitations, everybody knows, are just to fill in between the plays and songs. The only place I'd find a poem around home was in the Ladies Home Journal. No thanks. The very day lhal I met Old Whiskers. Miss Killick had really left us downright disappointed. She told us we couldn't order our usual Santa Claus gift out of Ihe catalogue. We'd done it every year since I started school but Miss Killick said with wheat al 50 cents a bushel, Ihey couldn't afford it. The little kids cried and we pretended we just suddenly had runny noses. And worst of all. I had persuaded the little kids on my leam lo ask for hockey slicks at HAPPYi HOLIDAY a 0. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .

AIR FROM ONLY $169 Suncoast Agencies Travel & Insurance Sunnycrest Mall, Gibsons 886-2000 25 cents which lefl Ihem 25 cents for something else. You see Gilbert was the only one in Ihe school with a real hockey stick. I only had a red one from Woolworth's my aunt in town gave me. So I waited in Ihe privy after school until the others got out of sight and my feet were beginning to tingle, just so's I could walk along the sleigh tracks alone and maybe cry a little if I had to. It was almost dark when I turned off the road down our track and a voice out of nowhere said, \"Sorry to bull in...\" and I fell silly at being caught crying and talking to myself. And when Ihe voice asked if my dad was home, I just nodded and hurried on ahead. Later in our kitchen I stared at the bulging grain sack lied Ovct his shoulder with a few twists of binder twine, a long lorn soldier coat like my dad had in the closet and a week's growth of white whiskers that made his face look like a stubble field after the firsl snowfall. Bul his blue eyes twinkled and looked right inside you. It turned out he knew my dad and was on his way across the river to find a job with Ihe railway's tie-cutting camp, and would stay the night. Bul a slomt blew up and stayed blowing and drifted the roads over. Old Whiskers as I called him, just lo myself of course, stayed on for a while. \"Pull,\" he said, \"don't push.\" But I wasn't gelling the hang of it. \"Gel lhal hockey stick I saw you come home with\" he said after Ihe firsl morning, \"and I'll show you how to shoot.\" He cul me a couple of pucks from ihe poplar pole he had on the sawhorse, then helped me trample snow down next to the wood shed. \"H'mmm,\" he said as he saw my feeble shot. When we took Ihe pig swill off ihe kilchen stove lhal evening, he jammed the red hockey stick Into the warm mash halfway up Ihe handle and lefl il there while we lugged the buckets of swill on my sled lo the sty. \"That'll warm il up so I can gel a curve bent in lhal blade,\" he said to ease my puzzlement. The next day he showed me how io flick my wrist to raise that puck knee-high. Boy! And thai wasn't all he did, In the evenings he read out of a book he had in his sack by a Robert Service. And he let me use his book lo learn The Cremation of Sam McGee. Thai recitation sure tickled all the grownups at our concert. But lhat wasn't as big a thrill as scoring Iwo goals against Gilbert's team, bolh limes when he was in goal. When Old Whiskers lefl he forgot his book, or did he forget on purpose? I've often wondered about lhat. Never saw him again. See lots of Gilbert though these days. He's working for me as foreman in my sawmill across ihe river in Ihe spruce bush. He sure would like to buy a share in my sawmill. Coast News, December 21, 1992 community by Beverley Shipley Enjoy your Chrislmas, Creekers. and remember thai you don't have lo have big bucks lo do jusl lhal. Commercialism, noi jusl of Ihe Christmas season, is on Ihe rise every year and it really is disgusting, bul your Christmas does not have to depend on large ticket commercial ilems to be a happy one. Convincing your kids who might be expecting such items can be a problem, though. A simpler lifestyle which stresses less materialism and TV watching is a big help, bul again, this isn't always possible. Creating gifts for others from your own hands, especially wilh inexpensive or natural materials is a good way lo start. The other very important ingredient is lo remember and remind family members thai it is indeed Beltet lo Give lhan to Receive. A proclamation) It's royally official!

The roule, which would have run through Wilson Creek, Davis Bay and Selma Park, has met strong public opposition in recent months and Sechelt council apparently responded.

The bylaw had already received firsl reading by council al lhat lime. Al lhe Dec. 2 council meeiing that first reading was rescinded. A new Bylaw 22-24 will amend the official community plan lo delete \"lhal portion of the major road network element designated through a portion of Wilson Creek, Davis Bay, Selma Park and D.L. 1541.\" The public hearing for the new bylaw is scheduled for mid- January and will be advertised in the district's municipal memo. All concerned are urged to attend. Terms of reference for a land use and planning study, lo be undertaken in Ihe new year, are already underway with participation from Ihe Dislricl of Sechelt, SCRD and a few community groups.

One of the places we were taken was over a sunken ship of some vintage. The water was likely 50 feet deep bul crystal clear. Below was the wreck, a Russian freighter lhat had foundered in a hurricane. It was partially above the sea, rusted, ugly, completely abandoned, of no use to anyone. Of Ihe two vessels, the sunken one provided tourist dollars, a home for nmlli sea animals and likely harmed the environment least. Library This is the last column before Ihe New Year.

The drama production was The Grinch Who Stole Chrislmas and it provided a lot of material for chuckles. May I wish all of you a joyous holiday season! See you in 1993. by Lynn Mees 'Twas Ihe nighl before Chrislmas, when all through Ihe Mont, not a creature was gossiping, not even a monster. The presidenl of Ihe Egmonl Community Club was sleeping, the Vice too! But the Pres wouldn't sleep because Santa was coming, he knew! He had a string lied to his eta. On the other end was Santa's beer. Suddenly he fell a lug, and ran into the room, bul il was on a monster. So he was struck with gloom, poor Pres thought his slocking would never gel filled, but lhat was a mistake, because in Ihe morning Ihe slocking was full. Full, yes of never ending projects and ideas. How do we get Ihe Egmont school happening again? Do you realize Sanla how many kids we have in the Mont? Yes, enough lo open up the school. A small core got together on Wednesday to decorate the Iree, thanks to Bill and Shirley who got the iree. It's a beauty. We all hope you recover soon, Don Devlin and all Ihe strength be wilh you, Katie. Merry Christmas everyone and be happy. May peace and love fill your heart.

But beware: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle paraphernalia is now passe Story by Darah Hansen and Jane Seyd Lee Taylor and Leigh Wakey recommend taking a (Iyer on kites if your gift buying decisions are still up in the air. Darah Hansen photo Gone are the days when visions of sugar-plum fairies were enough to light up the little faces of North America's children. These days if you want to see anything lighl up, you're probably going to need batteries. Among the season's hot sellers in local toy departments, anything remote control sells, says Tim Enns of Magic Sound Electronics. Slacked among the Christmas collection in the store this ye.v are monster trucks, police cars and space-age type molor creations - all moving quickly, says Enns. And it's not just the kids who are getting them, he adds: \"A lot of ladies are buying these for their husbands.\" Meanwhile, what child wouldn't be thrilled to see a walking, spinning Tyran- nosaurus Rex under the tree? \"See his eyes light up as you roam the primeval forest with the most powerful creature that ever existed\" - a lot to get from a 10-inch, wire-controlled figure. Electronic musical instruments are doing well too, says Enns - small keyboards in particular as well as the size one \"Dancing Feet\" which shuffle and jump to the sound of music. And then there are trolls, trolls and more trolls. From puffy-haired mini trolls that fit on Ihe ends of pencils to costume-clad big guys lo \"la piece de resistance\" of Trolls, Baby Giggle - who crawls, falls, giggles and gently beats her hands and feel on the ground in lemper-lantrum-like fashion - Ihe mysterious Scandinavian creatures are slill lopping Ihe consumer Christmas charts. \"I think it has a lot to do with the fact that they are totally different than anything else,\" says Grandma's Toy Box manager Barbara Laffere, adding, \"ll seems lo be Ihe numbers Ihe kids are interested in.\" Laffere says she's heard kids compare collections of 10,20 and 30 trolls. At Pastimes, where Ihe philosophy of toy selling is focussed more on the traditional, owners Lee Taylor and Leigh Blakey say lhe classic toys are still Ihe bestsellers. Bridging the generation gap are Lego sets, wooden trains, Mr. Potaloe Head, Tonka Toys, kites and slinky (now available in turquoise and hoi pink). The Darda World Class Bump and Go Speedways are doing really well, says Taylor, bul even those little pull-back- SEASONS GREETINGS GIBSONS MOTOR INN Haid-A-Way Restaurant Hwy. 101 at Park Road 886-4501 Don't forget if you don't have room for out-of-town guests - we do! and-lel'er-rip car sets are moving into Ihe 1990s wilh \"patented Mega Motor\" and \"precision clutch and gears,\" designed by Ihose famous German engineers. For small hands which want lo really gel involved, car and airplane models are also making a comeback, says Rick Dixon, who manages Ihe loy department at Sechell Hardware. Car sets come in varieties from the 68 Muslang to Ihe new Porsche. For boys who jusl want lo be boys, there's still the Range Rider plastic rifle, not (o men- lion Ihe oldie-bul-goodie water pistol, guaranleed lo send sisters into hysterics. Future loggers can also get some practice on a plastic chainsaw, which comes complete with appropriate sound. For well-meaning adults rushing out to buy Teenage Mutant Ninja turtle paraphernalia, be warned. \"They're not Ihe hoi item anymore,\" Dixon comments. Other ilems wilh waning interest value include science kits and games - though Chinese Checkers, Tiddley winks and Operation can still be spotted on the shelves. Kids today know what they like and what they don't, says Dixon. And with today's hyped TV advertising, they also \"don'l think 150 bucks for a toy is very much money,\" he comments. Parents apparently have other ideas though. More middle- income people have been looking for used toys Ihis year, says Bobbi Bennett of Second Wave children's consignment. Amongst the tykes' clothing in lhat store, a sel of wooden blocks, a plastic sled, a Softball mitt and an old viewmastcr with cartridges featuring Buck Rogers to Winnie Ihe Pooh are some of the available items. Classics like Gl Joe and children's books are slill popular, says Bennett, who adds people lend to hang on to the name brand toys because Ihey last so well. And speaking of long-lasting, what holiday season would be compiele without Barbie? \"We carry Barbie because she is Barbie,\" says Blakey from Pastimes, who says Ihe doll is a steady seller all year round. Barbie hasn't changed much: \"She's still got Ihose same funny-shaped feel\" says Blakey - perennially ready to slip into glamorous high-heeled shoes. Bul while Ihe doll itself hasn't changed much, the outfits are more daring lhan ever. Decked out in gold and green spandex beach wear, Barbie, Ken and little sis Skipper dolls sport tans thai would make cancer specialists shake their heads in despair. As a modern man on the go, Dance Magic Ken comes with not jusl one - but three separale outfits (ballet lo salsa), while not lo be outdone, Totally Hair Barbie now comes with her own styling gel. Bul Pastimes' modest collection on display at the front of the store is nothing in comparison to what they've gol hidden in Ihe backroom: a secrel stash of four dazzling collector's ilem dolls, dressed in Matel's finest parly gowns. \"This is my retirement fund,\" Blakey laughs.

Joel Johnstone photo Stitching together fashion dreams by Darah Hansen Sylvia Joe is not your average molher of six. Six years ago she was struggling to get by - she didn't have a job, was involved in an unstable marriage and found herself making important choices in her life that were based on need instead of want. She decided to change all lhat. \"My molher told me there was a sewing machine for sale in the second hand store, so I bought il for $12,\" she says. ' I didn't want to live on welfare for the rest of my life' Sylvia,loe \"I just started playing wilh it. I guess you could say my motivating thought was I didn't want lo rely on a man and I didn't want lo live on welfare for Ihe rest of my life.\" With her one-year-old son craddled in one arm, Joe moves through the house bringing oul examples of her work. Hung on wall hooks, draped on the backs of Ihe kilchen chairs, Joe's clothing designs give colour to Ihe otherwise plain family home tucked away in Roberts Creek. A black salin bolero jacket is her first choice for display, \"Thai's really mine,\" she says of the design's origin. She points to the red satin material delicately quilled inio Ihe upper half of the little jacket, \"Quilting is my specially.\" There's a surprising variety lo her clothing: sleek evening dresses, smart business suits, colourful summer clothes, embroidered shirts and kids clothes. Joe says she builds most of her ideas from pictures in Vogue and L.A. magazines and, of course, from watching Fashion TV. \"I really like florals,\" she says, adding she's willing to try anything from leather to silk. \"I don't like lo limit myself... I've never tried rubber though,\" she admits. \"It's not my thing.\" She does a lot of beading too, something thai shows a strong attraction to Native techniques. A member of the Sechelt Indian Band herself, heritage plays a pari in her work, bul she always adds her own touch, That cross-over of traditional and original was certainly evident in her most recent fashion show, her third, at the Sechelt Indian Band Hall, entitled Collage of Cultures, Local models showed off Ihe elegance of her clothing to the designer's complete salis- faclion. \"They really enjoyed themselves\" Joe says, \"and that came through.\" The clothes now hang on racks in her workshop - a converted garage lhal doubles as a bedroom - waiting to be sold. A fashion show isn't how she does Ihe most business, though Ihis one was successful. Joe sells her designs through local businesses, and through friends and family who \"just drop by and say 'What are you making?' \"I don't advertise as a rule,\" she says. \"I was afraid of getting loo big loo fasl.\" With all her children, she says she has lo be realis tic. But she adds: \"It's funny. The more I sold the more I could make... After five years, (the business) is starting to hold its own. I'm gelling somewhere.\" Her nexl move is taking her fashions over to Vancouver, \"I have some new ideas.\" She's also gearing up for a new show in spring. Though she is reluctant to give away too many of her secrets, Joe did say she has in mind some distinctly West Coast styles as well as original Peninsula designs. \"Landscape dresses\" she calls them, describing one vaguely as green and brown - a hillside motif wilh cul beads showering over the breast like a waterfall. Hats loo, decorated wilh local plumage and foliage, are in her future. Her next move is taking her fashions over to Vancouver \"Moss is so beautiful,\" she says, adding with a laugh lhal she hasn't quite figured out how lo get lhat look without it appearing as if the model fell inio a river. A telephone call ends the interview. A friend is telling her about a design competition in early January with first prize being a Irip lo Paris and $5,000. \"That means I have to come up with something within a week,\" she says, her mind already dreaming up new possibilities.

About 40 people turned out for what ski club president Michel Frenetle called a rewarding endeavour. \"Most of the people here ato new lo ihe club and Iheir enthusiasm for the event was greal\", remarked Frenetle, Things like cross-country skis, boots, poles and lhe odd piece of downhill equipment could be picked up for almosl a song. Top of the line ski-mountaineering gear was up for grabs: a nearly brand new pair of mountain louring boots lhat formally fetches 400 smackeroos were offered for 60 bucks. (Darn it, loo big!). These boots look exactly like normal downhill boots but are lighter, more flexible and have a Vibram-lype sole for walking on rough surfaces. For serious mountain adventurers, crampons (spikes) can also be strapped to Ihe sole. Ski mountaineering, a relatively new phenomenon, (or re- emergence of an old sport), offers Ihe best of bolh worlds. ll combines downhill and cross-country ski equipment in a new technology that allows enthusiasts to climb impossible looking slopes, make a minor adjustment and obtain unlimited powder for sleep terrain downhill skiing. A normal cross-country ski package can cost upwards of several hundred dollars bul at Ihe swap it was possible lo buy a pair of ski boots, bindings and poles for under $100. (That's if your a five-foot woman, weigh 100 pounds and have size seven feet; what little men's equipment there was lasted only a few seconds.) There was also a good selection of children's equipment which also sold well. The liming of Ihe event (Dec. 10) was perfect, with fresh snow draping Ihe local mountains and a promising winter ahead. The weather reports and this year's farmers almanac all point to a good ski season. The ski club is responsible for maintaining the Tetrahedron Ski System, which includes the five cabins and an extensive trail network. The work of Ihe ski club is assisted by the Ministry of Forests, which among other things provides a helicopter every fall lo distribute firewood to all the cabins. After an arduous day ski- mountaineering all the essential amenities await al a cabin like Ihe one perched on lop of Mt. Steele: Ihe firewood, matches, axes, bedding and cooking equipment could be lifesavers if someone was either improperly prepared or rough weather conditions set in forcing people to extend their slay. Frenetle hopes those who visit the cabins this year will leave Ihem in belter condition than ihey were found; vandalism has plagued Ihe cabin closest to road access. On the whole, however, Frenetle said \"Ihose who use the cabins are very respectful and appreciate Ihe importance of such facilities.\" m__\\ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDrOw0 W I w\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDV\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD**\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD^\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDW\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwj|M m DAMAGE FREE WHEEL LIFT TOWING SERVICING THE SUNSHINE COAST FOR OVER 20 YEARS WE NOW TOW 5th WHEELERS 1886-9500 4x4 TOW TRUCK 24 HOUR SERVICE .

For example a person who stipulates 'No Childien' as a condilion ol rental would be In violation ol Ihe Family Status and the Human Rights Acts. The landlord who places the advertisement and the newspaper which publishes it would both be in contravention ol the legislation and could have a complaint Wed against Ihem. The Coast News will therefore not accept such discriminatory ads.

Fred's life was a long love affair wilh newspapers, primarily Ihe Regina Leader-Post and lhe Coast News. His more than 60 years as a journalist were interrupted by periods of national service in World War I and II. Peggy Connor, newly elected chairman of the Sunshine Coast Regional District welcomed Area Cs new director, Stan Dixon at Ihe inaugural meeiing of the board last week.

THE STAFF AND CREWS OF YOUR LOCAL HYDRO OFFICE BG hydro CS In a relaxed and easy atmosphere, people from all walks of life are welcomed into the Planned Parenthood clinic which sets up shop eveiy Thursday nighl in the Coasl Garibaldi heallh unit. First opened two years ago, Ihe clinic operates from 7 pm to 9 pm, and is open to virtually anyone who is in need of birth control or pregnancy coun- ceiling. For an annual fee of $5, clients can expect confidential, professional service wilh local nurses, doctors and trained counsellors who volunteer their time. 'All options of birth control will be fully discussed, including abstinence' -Faye ik>bh \"We iry lo be non-judgmental,\" said Faye Bebb the program's director. \"All options of birth control will be fully discussed, including abstinence.\" The right method will be explored for Ihe individual client, she said, and Ihe doctor is on hand for examinations and prescriptions. The counsellors are also available to discuss pregnancy options and lend emotional support and professional guidance to women considering adoption or abortion. Slowly, said Bebb, the clinic is trying lo bring talk of AIDS into Ihe regular counselling, \"bul it's not our major mandate.\" However, Bebb said Ihe message is gelling out lhal il isn't enough lo be protected anymore, individuals musl make themselves safe loo - every lime. Planned Parenthood is an international non-profit organization, funded in part by the United Way and in Canada by the federal and provincial governments. Donations are accepted locally al Box 194.1, Gibsons, B.C. VON IVO and al ihe Vancouver main office al #105, 2902 Wesl Broadway, V6K 2G8. \"I think il's essential, I really do,\" said Bebb of Ihe communily program. \"We would rather see people safe and prolected than see unwanted pregnancies.\" Woodcreek developers facing charges by Jane Seyd It's left nearby residents in a mess for several months now. But the developers responsible for a malfunctioning sewage treatment plant and drainage field at the Woodcreek Park subdivision near Gibsons are now facing a mess of their own - in court. Developers Shirley and Don Mclntyre of West Vancouver have been charged with seven counts under Ihe Waste Management Act, said conservation officer Fred Barnes. Two counts involve introducing \"business waste\" into Ihe environment and five counts concern releasing waste in contravention of the developers' permil. All charges concern effluent which has been surfacing from Ihe clogged drain field, previously the topic of much non-too-delicate discussion among protection officers, residents and directors of the local regional district. A previous pollution abatement order and meetings to try to solve the problem did not significantly change the situation. According to Ministry of Environment records, the plant was never installed properly to begin with and was also not adequately maintained. Recently, regional districl engineers conducted a study lo see what kind of upgrades would be necessary before the regional district could consider taking over operation of the plant from the developers. According lo that report, on a long-term basis it would be better both environmentally and economically to abandon the existing plant altogether and replace it with a new community septic system. Failing that, major work would be required on the existing system. So far, however, no negotiations are underway between the developers and the regional district.
