There is not an actual water shortage as such, but at the present time there is only one pump for the area, and it has a heavy demand placed on it. In May of this year it pumped 2.8 million gallons and the village engineers, Dayton and Knight, have suggested that the operation of Well #2 be a top priority. The second pump should be ready to go in a few weeks and will be able to cover the demand. According to Census Canada, the population of Gibsons as of May is 2,074, up 103 from last year. Alderman Metcalf queried this figure, by his own calculations it is closer to 2,500. The village'is conducting its own census to determine the accuracy of the study.

Gibsons Lions hear of successful year Before a packed dinner meeting of over two hundred people at the Casa Martinez on Saturday, June 11th, outgoing Lions Club President, Joe Kampman, outlined a most successful year for the Gibsons Lions Club. The assembled crowd of Lions members, .wives,;.., and visiting7 dignitaries learned that '.. the Gibsons Lions Club had been awarded the Inspirational Award \" of Lionism over sixty other clubs in their district, which stretches from the Queen Charlotte Islands in the north and encompasses the entire Lower Mainland. Head table guests at the dinner included Dick Pierce, District Governor Elect, and his wife Jean; Zone Chairman Joe Mc- Cann, who had been named the Outstanding Zone Chairman in the district for the past year, the zone including five clubs from Texada Island to.Gibsons; Past Zone Chairman Larry Boyd who officiated at the induction of new .members; ':.ilnrcpmwg^:J&esi4$&<> of the Gibsons Lions Club, Dick Blakeman; Club Treasurer Floyd McGregor, and acting Secretary Jack White. Among the new members inducted were Bruno Gerussi and Robert Clothier of the TV series The Beachcombers.

Also 'present was Ken Fowler, President-Elect of the Vancouver Waterfront Lions Club, Out-going President Kampman, in his outline of the club's activities over the past year said that $18,924 had been raised by the Lions Club members during\" the past year and $14,690 had been donated back to the community in needy areas. In assessing the nature of the Lions Club work, Kampman said, *\"It is not always the big money prbT . jecfs*wj*ich arev ther most imp>^~- tant. 0It far the-people projects.'*\" Among the varied projects undertaken by the Gibsons Lions Club in the last year, Kampman listed support of the C.N.LB., support of the mentally'1 ill; a walker for an elderly lady; and a fund to send mentally retarded children to Camp Squamish. All in all, a most successful year.for the Gibsons Lions Club. Application turned down Sechelt children ill because of chemicals? The' question of chemical sprays raised its ugly head again at last week's Sechelt Council meeting. Mr. Allan Ayres of Porpoise Bay. spoke for his neighbour, Nick . Van Velsen whose two children are both sick from drinking from their water supply. In Mr. Ayres' opinion the poison is pentachlorphinal. Three power poles have been treated with this chemical and it is now seeping into the drinking water. Mr. Ayres traced the .poison to its source with the aid of documented evidence from the Department of Health and described to council how a short-term solution could be achieved by. blocking a culvert and diverting the run-off over unpopulated areas. Pentachlorphinal builds up a concentration in egg yolks, Mr. Ayres had to destroy 1,000 eggs. Van Velsen complained that he had been plagued by minor sick ness over the past two years. Ayres said that after drinking the water since 1959, he had taken to walking up the road to a neighbour and carrying back his own supply. It appeared to this reporter that the council did not view this problem with any discernible sense of urgency. Mayor Nelson knew of the poison and described it as \"Very good. It kills everything.\" He could see no difficulty in blocking the culvert Mayor Larry Labonte officiates at the ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the official opening of the new Gibsons Ambulance Building. Also in the picture are Alderwoman Lorraine Goddard, Alderman Stuart Metcalfe, and Mr. and Mrs. Vic Eckstein representing the Senior Citizens. and solving the immediate problem. : In other council business, a letter was received from Glenmont Holdings asking council if it could., clear up the debris left on the Hydro right-of-way and add the costs to the companys' tax account. This wasjfelt to be a viable solution. Council said it would check into some of the surrounding property and see if it could be cleaned up in the same fashion. Shop-Easy was asked to hold off on the construction of a sprinkler system on the highway side of their parking lot. The village has plans in the works for building curbs along this area and it seemed advisable to dovetail all construction so as not to run into unnecessary problems. When the Trail Bay Mall was constructed, Sechelt did not have enough water pressure for the installation of a sprinkler system in the mall itself. This is no longer the case, and council felt that this should now be looked into. Trail bikes on the power lines are still putting some residents up in arms. Village Clerk Tom Wood was asked to contact Victoria and enlist their aid in forming a by-law.

It was felt by Alderman Hume that since a body shop had recently been refused, it Pender must fight- Lockstead The people of the Pender Harbour-Egmont area must continue fighting to see that their medical clinic is not taken away, MLA Don Lockstead told the annual meeting of the Pender Harbour and District Ratepayers Association in Madeira Park last Sunday. Lockstead reminded the meeting that the medical clinic had been brought to Pender Harbour only through the united effort of the overwhelming majority of the area's, residents, and warned that it could be lost at any time if support slackened. Although Lockstead made no direct reference to the clinic's problems, it was understood there has been a letter from Victoria suggesting that the Pender clinic has not been receiving enough use to justify a full-time doctor. The problem of arranging with Sechelt doctors to provide cross-coverage for Pender Harbour patients at St. Mary's Hospital also continues unresolved, with the result that the Pender doctor must work unreasonable hours. Lockstead also told the meeting that he didn't think construction on Highway 101 north of Secret Cove has been stopped \"because this riding has an NDP member\". The Highways budget has been reduced to under $300 million, he said, and highway construction has been reduced throughout the province. He added the the Highways Minister Alex Fraser has recently promised him highways spending would resume in this area. \"As to the schedule, let me put it this way, \"Lockstead said, \"Look for action some time before the next election.\" Continued on Page Eight t .would be. unfair for council to ;' ^giVeifr^iim^^ else to carry on a .commercial operation in a non-commercially zoned area. - In Alderman Metcalf's opinion this was a different situation. It would not be as noisy as an auto body shop - 100 years - still dancing Edmond Juneau celebrated his 100th birthday at the Sechelt Legion on June the 9th. Listening to his life story is like opening a history book on the Canadian West. His father was the government agent for the Cree Indians during the Louis Riel rebellion, Edmond remembers the dangers of the time and it has given him a healthy respect for unity in Canada.' In the '98 Gold Rush he headed for the Yukon with his wife and baby son, and spent what would have been a lifetime for most people in the North. He pushed pack trains up to Dawson; was a dredge master on the Klondike during the '30's, where one season alone brought in over 4 million dollars in gold. These were the days when a hotel room and three meals were a dollar and a schooner of beer cost you 5$. Mr. Juneau was widowed in 1957. His wife Catherine had followed in the family footsteps and had been an Indian Agent in the North for the area. The family was a major presence up there, in fact, Juneau Alaska was named after them. When someone has lived an adventurous and full life for as long as Edmond has, it would be expected that he would be content to sit back and take a back seat in life. Not so. The fiddler struck up a tune and he was up with his baby sister, Marie Van Tighem, a mere 95 year old youngster and waltzed her around the floor. . When wished a happy birthday he replied by wishing as many for everyone. An honoured guest at the party was Gerald Mossman, who recently celebrated being 101 years young. which was the main complaint in the past, and if the property was to be left unattended it would soon turn into an eyesore. Mayor Labonte reminded council that a promise had been made to the owner of the property that he would be helped in any way possible to get some return from his investment. -The . usual procedures were waved aside and Mr. Ranniger gave a prepared presentation to the members. He pointed ,. out that he had already spent two thousand dollars on two boats he planned to fix up and that his operation would not inconvenience the people in the , surrounding area. A vote was taken, it was a split decision, with Metcalf and Metzler for,, and Hume and Goddard against granting a permit. It was agreed that the-members of council would get together the next day after a planning committee and discuss the problem further. At the meeting it was decided that if the owner applied for a rezoning permit y the chances were that it would be granted, ^and this would enable Mr. Ranniger to operate on the property. Parking A representative from the Gibsons Harbour Business Association asked council for an update on the parking by-laws. Final word was still being awaited from their solicitor, but Alderman Hume was able to say that the by-laws should be passed some* vr-time^^WsTsu^nmer,. and .^will be 7 enforced by\"' the dog catcher, Doug Elson. It'was pointed out to council that apart from lack of space, one of the problems was people going fishing, or to work at the mill and leaving their cars downtown all day. This would be stopped, Alderman Hume said, when a time limit, probably of two hours, was brought in. Local businessmen are looking into the feasibility of paid parking in the village, but for the present one possibility that came up was to mark out parking spots along one side of School Road. Because the by-law has not been passed yet, does not necessarily give motorists immunity, last week the R.C.M.P. issued a ticket to someone parked too near the stop sign at the post office. Other Excavation will begin for the swimming pool on the 24th of this month and completion is expected sometime in November. The council chambers were very warm, but half way through the meeting the door to the veranda had to be closed, since it was difficult to hear over the noise pf.speeding-carsv>���-���-���--���-��������� ���-\"\" Trust Fund set up A memorial trust fund has been set up for John Volen of Gibsons who was killed so tragically a few weeks ago in a power-line accident.

Oil We would particularly draw your attention to the series of articles beginning in this issue ofthe Coast News by Howard White of Pender Harbour. White is most concerned about the possibility, indeed it would almost seem to be a certainty, of an oil spill along our coast from the projected giant tanker traffic which seems imminent. The articles are well- researched, thoughtful, highly concerned and chillingly effective, at least in this editor's opinion who has, be it admitted, had the opportunity of reading the entire series. It would appear that the only reason that the tankers would be routed along the coast of British Columbia to destinations in Northern Washington and even possibly to Kitimat, is for the;very good reason that the western states of the United States want as little to do with them as possible. This is by no means unique in Canadian history. In 1963 when the so-called Bo-marc missile crisis was at its height the Liberal Government under Lester Pearson defeated the government of John Diefen- baker partially by saying that they would honour the commitments made to the Americans to arm the missiles based in Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec with nuclear warheads. This despite the fact that it was admitted by the Americans at the time that the only possible function such missile sites could have would be to draw some of the theoretical Russian fire away from the industrial heartland of the U.S.A., the north-eastern industrialized states. Canada was to be just a decoy target for the protection of the U.S.A. And so it is with the oil tanker routes. In the gold creeks of the Klondike, American miners in recent years have come in in April with bulldozers and mined systematically and zealously until September when they left taking all the gold they had found directly out of the country. If a Canadian miner wandered over the line into Alaska and put as much as a gold-pan in an American creek he was liable to be jailed. When are Canadians going to realize that they have legitimate self-interests and that it is not rabid anti-Americanism to protect those self-interests in their dealings with their giant neighbour? The Mexican government long ago took far more effective measures against total exploitation by the U.S.A. than Canada has even dared to think about yet. When will Canadians wake up? Over the next three weeks through White's awareness and research you will be informed in the pages of this newspaper of what can possibly happen to our entire environment as a result of the drive of the U.S.A. oil companies to move oil along our coast. It is not a matter of dying ducks, as White points out, but a question which affects our whole coastal economy. It could happen here only because the people of California and Washington states are determined it's not going to happen there. Think about it. Canadians. Chemicals Recent visitors to Gibsons from Inverness, Scotland, Malcolm and Biddie Corrance were comparing our area to the Western Highlands of Scotland and said something very interesting. \"Both places,\" they say, \"are so very beautiful that they have a soporific effect on the people who live there, almost hypnotic.\" It's the effect that Alfred Tennyson was after describing in his poem \"The Lotus Eaters\" in which he describes a land where the inhabitants were, so lulled with the beauty of their surroundings and their pleasure-taking that they were oblivious to anything else. Surely this must be the land of the Lotus Eaters. Not only is there the question of the oil tankers just discussed, but the question of the use of herbicidal chemicals and their possible deleterious effects on the creatures, including people, who live here. Now from Sechelt comes a story of two youngsters poisoned by drinking water from the tap in their kitchen at home. There is no great outcry from the citizenry. The mayor\" of Sechelt says of the chemical in question, almost unbelievably, \"It's very good. It kills everything.\" B.C. Hydro merrily goes its way in the use of defoliants on the power through which all potable water runs. The so-called Minister of the Environment, shades of 1984, stoutly defends a decision to use the same chemicals in the Okanagan lakes. There's a definite air of unreality about it all. In a conversation I had with a gentleman entitled something like Environmental Protection Engineer in the B.C. Hydro hugeness, he explained to me for almost an hour what was being used and how it could not possibly be harmful. The whole thing, of course, much weakened by his confession that \"...it's all by guess and by God, of course, we really don't know.\" Meanwhile two children are ill in Sechelt and there are rumours of babies born deformed possibly as a result of the mothers drinking water with defoliants in it. There is a lady in Hopkins Landing who was warned by B.C. Hydro officials not to eat the blackberries on the power line. Meanwhile we take our pleasures and prefer to ignore anything which smacks of the unpleasant. We may be doing so at our peril. from the files of Coast News 5YEARS AGO Somewhere in Sechelt Inlet, Ken Gurney hooked a 39 pound spring.

Early in this century, when the Burns family moved from the foot of the mountain to the mouth of Langdale Creek, they were able to travel the course it still follows. Until another route was pushed through along the waterfront, only the North Road linked Hopkins' and Gibsons Landing by land. Photo courtesy Marie Scott (nee Burns) and Elphinstone Pioneer Museum. L.R.Peterson Musings John Burnside In line with an editorial I read last week that seemed to claim that physical fitness was sweeping the entire Sunshine Coast - an overstatement if ever I heard one - I'd like to give further evidence of my acquaintanceship with the manly arts (or should I say personly arts nowadays) of self-torture designed to render us all glowing and attractive, mentally alert and full of whatnots. Contrary to a fair body of public evidence, I have been a secret fitness freak all my life. All my life and everywhere I've lived one of the ritual things that I do is find - where the pleasant walks are. An ideal place to live, as far as I'm concerned, is a place where you can wander out of your front door for the obligatory dog walk with your mind on other things and pause with fresh surprise each time you stop to .think which direction your steps should take, suddenly and freshly re- aware that in whichever direction lies serene enchantment. As 'a matter of fact I've just wandered out of my mental door to find that I've come to an equivalent place in the writing of the column. There are two or three little paths that go from here I'd like to muse down. Perhaps I might be forgiven if I subject my patient readers to a series of musings on the subject of fitness, hbwever ironic and unlikely the source may seem. Let's go off in this direction then on this occasion and see where it takes us. It would seem that fitness to me, judging from the first paragraph is a business of secretive self-torture. Now that sounds like an unlovely and an unhappy business but it isn't at all. I'll try to justify. I have a horror you see of the kind of deadly serious, extroverted drive for fitness that goes jogging around the West End of Vancouver in shorts or 'sweat pants, for instance. Whether it's an overly developed sense of the absurd or whatever it is, I cringe when I see a city jogger. Surely the state of a man's innards is his own concern and flambuoyant public care of them seems to me to lack taste, or even decorum, a seldom-used word. There's a kind of solemn public assurance of doing the right thing about joggers which unnerves me. Nobody should be that certain they're right. Not ever. I seek my sanity and my physical fitness in the same way - by walking where the people aren't. My secrecy about my fitness rituals is not a matter of shame but delight in being solitary in a lovely place, away from the hurly-burly of the people and the scrimmage of their appetites. As for the fitness quest, I'd like to be so subtly secret that even I am unaware of it while it's happening. Set the internal monitor on walk and then let the mind wander, for what is freedom if not an unfettered and uncluttered mind? My friend Jimmy Vallance in Fernie, whom I've known since we were asked to leave the boy scouts in 1949 for irreverent behaviour, represents the other side of the coin. I can remember meeting him on top of Cumnock hill on his bike coming from Glasgow one sunny, hot day in the early fifties. He had come the thirty odd miles from Glasgow in record time he informed us, and in truth his beet-red face and the dripping perspiration all spoke of prodigious effort. As it happened the three of us were on a kind of little day-long cycling tour of the villages of the area and had cycled farther than Jimmy or that occasion and had also climbed the highest hill on Ayrshire, none of it in record time. Fitness without masochism, if you please. If it doesn't have more going for it than just the pain in your legs, forget it, is my advice. I mean Vallance is the only man I've ever heard of whose answer to a massive hangover is to run a bath-tub of cold water and immerse himself - a feat I admire but have no earthy wish to emulate. He's talking about possibly coming down to visit me this summer - typically he's going to cycle the six hundred and fifty miles from the Crdwsnest Pass to the Coast. Don't mistake me, I'm going to be delighted to see him but I'll stick to taking my little daily walks and we'll see who lasts the longest. The pattern for my walking was set with an even earlier friend, one Martin Kiltie. After Sunday School and Church and Sunday dinner, oh ordered days, Martin and I used to escape in the afternoons and wander till dusk. We swopped stories as we went, adventure sories featuring pirates and cowboys and big city detectives. We told them in chapters and made them up as we went along, hearing with interest and absorption the other fellow's chapter and effortlessly picking up the thread of our own tale when our turn came. In the course of these Sunday ramblings which were a tradition for ten years with us, the stories deepening in sophistication with even hints of sex appearing in them towards the end but always boyish and adventurous, we would walk perhaps twenty miles through the lovely Ayrshire countryside and be completely unaware that we were doing it. Of course the whole delicate marvellous mechanism .which is the body should be worked to be at its best. The blood should course throughout the body not stuggle through fatty capillaries occasionally like sluggish swamp rivers. But it is my conviction that the ache in the muscles can come like the glow of fatigue, noticed only in the tranquillity of rest. So I'm secretive about my fitness things because it suits me so. My walks balance the social with the solitary as well as activity with inactivity. As for the self- torture aspect, well the inertia of indolence must be overcome and the body made to work if it is to function well, but it has been my study to make that work as pleasantly painless and unself- conscious as I can manage it. Fitness may not be sweeping the Sunshine Coast, but my friend Peter Trower has gone camping at the Skookumchuck and if some respect for the outdoors and fitness lurks in the hearts of even apparently decadent poets and editors something's out there rustling in the summer leaves. Slings & Arrows George Matthews There is a fellow I work with at school named Brian Butcher. Brian is a nice guy, but like you and me he wouldn't normally be worth writing about until he retired, was elected mayor or else robbed a bank or something. But a couple of weeks ago something happened to Brian that I think makes him worth a few lines - and again, just like you and me, when I started asking Brian a few questions about himself, I found a pretty interesting and exceptional character. The thing that happened to Brian Butcher was that he was hired as the new Principal of Sechelt Elementary School. This is interesting for a number of reasons: first, I think Sechelt parents would like to know something about the new Principal of their children's school; second, Brian is going to have the difficult task of taking over from one of the area's most successful and respected school administrators, Sam Reid, and third, after a period in which school administrators have generally been brought in from outside the district, Brian is a local teacher. Brian came to Elphinstone Secondary three years ago from a place called Dinsmore, Saskatchewan with wife Emma, son Geoff and daughter Janet. I don't know about you but I can't think of a better place to come from than Dinsmore, Saskatchewan and now that he's here he sounds as though he's going to keep it that way. Asking Butcher about himself is a strange experience. For example, when I asked him about his childhood he told me that he was born in Kalgan, Outer Mongolia and spent a couple of years in a Japanese prison camp as a child. Naturally I figured this was another, \"I'm not who I seem to be, I'm really the long lost son of a fabulously wealthy Kuwaiti oil sheik'' stories. But as the tale unfolds the reality is more unusual than any fictional creation. It seems Brian's father was a Pentacostal missionary who worked in Mongolia. Brian was born there in 1940, went through the Japanese invasion, was imprisoned with his family, returned with his family to Southampton England in 1946 and came back to China the next year just in time to be caught up in the Chinese civil war. Having slipped away from the Chinese communists, Brian's dad took the family first to India then to the homeland of his former captors - the same captors who apparently had been responsible for some pretty rough treatment of some of his father's friends during the invasion of Japan. If Brian Butcher is anything he is tolerant - one of the most tolerant, gentle and understanding people I've met and I'm sure this tolerance must have been reinforced by living in the cquntry of his former masters for three years. He used to ride to school on one of those sardine cans on wheels that the Japanese call trains and the thing he resented ;:oX'X-x-:-:r:^x-:-:-:<-x-x-:��x^x-:<-X'X-�� PORT MELLON, B.C. most was that the members of the occupation force got their own special compartment with plenty of room while the Japanese had to ride stacked like cordwood. Brian rode with the Japanese. When Brian was twelve he got his first look at Canada when his father took the family to visit relatives in. Swan River, Manitoba. After a year in Boston, Mass., Brian's dad returned to Swan River to become the pastor ofthe Pentacostal Church and the family ended, up there more or less permanently. Strangely enough, Brian's first job when he graduated from high school at seventeen was as a teacher and the fact that he could teach school at seventeen says a lot more about Brian Butcher than it does, about school teachers in general. After a year of teaching in a one room school of grades one to nine, Brian spent a couple of years surveying and building roads before going to university in Saskatoon to study Science. All that education got him a job bottling in a Coca Cola plant where he worked briefly before taking a teaching job in Saskatchewan where he taught two years before taking a year of education in Saskatoon. Two years teaching in Esterhazy, Saskatchewan and Brian was ready to try his hand at running a school, so he applied for and got a Principal's job in a combined elementary-secondary school of 350 students in Dinsmore, Saskatchewan. After six years as Principal, Brian and his family came out to B.C. He was interested in a job in Port Alberni but by a stroke of luck ended up at Elphinstone instead. At Elphinstone, where he is affectionately known as \"Boom Boom'' because of his athletic skill, Brian has worked as both science teacher and counsellor. Following Sam Reid at Sechelt Elementary will not be easy, as Brian himself pointed out. Sam has helped make Sechelt not only a successful school but a happy and lively place as .well. He says he plans to let things run as they are at Sechelt until he gets the feel of the place. He is similar to Sam in many ways, particularly where love and respect for children is concerned and if there is anyway to make Sechelt Elementary an even better place Brian is the person to help do it. Like many of our local teachers Brian is a pretty swell person. He's a darn good teacher, he's an excellent volleyball coach, he coaches a boy's baseball team, is the Superintendent of a Sunday School, where he also teaches and drives the Sunday School bus and he's not a bad fisherman. The folks in Sechelt are lucky to get him, those of us at Elphinstone are sorry to lose him and the trustees of the school board are to be congratulated for not only making a good choice but for recognizing some of the talent and experience in their own school district and showing confidence in their teachers.

Editor: In a recent issue you published a letter by Maureen Kirby of the Human Resource Society complaining of someone selling counterfeit tickets to their dance. Judging how easy it would be to trace anyone selling forty tickets in our small community with only a few authorized outlets selling legitimate tickets I think if there was, in fact, anything other than an error in calculation, the criminal should be easy to apprehend. The rip-off that Ms. Kirby failed to publicize was her not paying the band the fee that was agreed upon. Several months prior to the dance,*!.was playing with three other musicians and it was agreed that we'd play for $200. \"Up the Creek\" began playing again as a larger six piece band and not wanting to split us up for rehearsals and future engagements, I went to Ms. Kirby two weeks prior to the dance and requested to increase the fee to $300 to include the extra players. Having sold only six tickets to date she was afraid the dance would be a financial failure and felt only secure in increasing the payment to $250. Knowing the past success of \"Up the Creek\" dances I felt relaxed in agreeing to a $250 guaranteed base with the condition that she pay the full $300 fee if ticket sales were successful. She agreed to this arrangement and upon leaving her office I assured her I wasn't worried about not getting our full fee...we have had sell out crowds at all dances in Roberts Creek. She was well aware of the agreement and does not deny knowledge of the terms of our verbal contract. The night of the dance' (a sell out crowd) I was paid only $250. When I mentioned our agreement, Ms. Kirby said, \"Well, we really don't know how we did yet, until we've added it all up.\" And so the following week I went to see her and was told that yes, they had successful ticket sales and had cleared a good profit'but because Iliad 'broken' our initial agreement'for a four piece band (made close to two months before the dance) she felt she did not have to comply with our agreement of two weeks prior to the dance and we were \"out of luck.. .forget it\". After six years of playing music on the coast with nothing more than verbal agreements I am disconcerted about this incident. The musicians with whom I play are now considering whether or not to continue doing music for community groups with inexperienced and unreliable organizers. To all the people who have supported \"Up the Creek\" I say thanks, we love you, you have helped local musicians and the community sponsors who put on dances to raise funds for worthwhile projects. But at the point that we musicians are used for someone else's financial gain and expected to give services for next to nothing, I refuse to continue.

��.0, Winnie 'LOR m Thur., Fri., Sat. June 16,17, 18. 7:00 p.m. Matinee Saturday 1:30 Northern Frontier-Northern Homeland The Report of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry: Vol. 1 Mr. Justice Thomas R. Berger This is volume one ofthe recent Berger Report, a condensation of more than 30,000 pages of testimony about the proposed pipeline in the Western Arctic. Although it's a government report, it has become an overnight bestseller. Aside from an interesting and very readable text, (Something one seldom associates with government documents), it contains some of the best photographs to come out of the North in years. Each page is illuminated by them, and for the price of five dollars the book is an exceptional value just for the pictures it contains. At issue here is the gas pipeline, which, if it is completed, will be !_400 miles long, the longest in the world. The point of origin for the line would be in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. From there, it would run east across the northern Yukon until it reached the Mackenzie River Delta, and then south, following that river to the lower provinces. The gas that the line carries would be frozen, and compressor stations Books with John Faustmann would be built every fifty miles to push the gas through. Large pipelines such as this have been built before,, but this one is unique, even compared to the recent Alaska pipeline, because of the country it must pass through. The land, the people and the wildlife of the Western Arctic are unlike those found anywhere else in the world. In a section titled: \"Biological sensitivity\", Berger writes: \"Although arctic ecosystems have been described as sensitive, or even fragile, I think it is more accurate to say that they are vulnerable.\" To begin with, the actual land itself is extremely delicate. Most of it sits atop a layer of permafrost, or continually frozen earth.

Unlike our coast, which heals its scars quickly, sprouting, trees again in the course of a season, the arctic is very slow to heal. Above the fragility of the land itself, there exist a limited, directly interrelated species of wildlife, all part of one of the simplest food chains to be found on the earth. The largest herd of caribou still left inhabit this district, migrating thousands of miles in the course of the seasons. Here too are found the white whales of the Beaufort Sea, a herd approximately 5,000 strong who come to calve just off the Mackenzie Delta. Along with these are other large northern mammals - three types of bear, moose, muskox, and the lesser ones, arctic fox, muskrats, lemmings, seals. A limited range of wildfowl inhabit the area as well, including the vanishing peregrine falcon. Fine pictures of all of these accompany the text. Berger's report is in two volumes, and this first one is concerned with the impact the pro-. posed pipeline will have on the area. It soon becomes clear that the impact on the land, the animals and the people who live there, would be disastrous. One of the routes across the northern Yukon would pass right through the area where the caribou go to calve each spring. Drilling in the Mackenzie Delta is presently going on where the white whales calve as well. It has been proven historically that industrial development of almost any type in the north is detrimental to the inhabitants. Game immediately becomes scarce around any such sites, and the Dene and Inuit peoples, who rely on the game to feed themselves, are often reduced to poverty, welfare payments and alcoholism as a consequence.

The jobs that will be created won't affect most of them, but the social problems, the loss of game, and the continued erosion of their lifestyle will be felt for years to come. Some of the strongest passages in the report are submissions by the native people. There is a desperation in their voices that is hard to ignore. A man from Fort McPherson put it this way: ' 'To the Indian people our land is really our life. Without our land we cannot - we could no longer exist as a people. If our land is destroyed, we too are destroyed. If your people take our land you will be taking our life.\" Another man, from Arctic Red River, put it this way: \"The land, who made it? I really want to find out who made it. Me? You? The government? Who made it? I know of only one man made it - God. But on this land who besides Him made the land? What is given is not sold to anyone. We're that kind of people. What is given to us, we are not going to give away.'' These, then, are the issues that Berger raises in this report. The title - \"Northern Frontier-Northern Homeland\" points to the conflict that arises from the proposed pipeline. To those of us down South, the North, is our last frontier. Are we to exploit it, as we did the west in the last century, destroying the whales and the caribou as we did the plains buffalo? Or have we���made some progress in humanity, coming far enough along to recognize the rights of the people who have traditionally called the North their home? Mr. Justice Berger is adamant that the rights of the people must be accounted for. Towards the end of the report he quotes Andre Siegfried: \"Many countries - and they are to be envied - possess in one direction or another a window which opens out on to the infinite- on to the potential future...The North is always there like a presence, it is the background of the picture, without which Canada would not be Canadian.\" The Berger report reveals how vulnerable our window on infinity is. Once shattered, it.can never be replaced. This is a timely and very important statement to make. I hope we have the ears to hear it. 885-3400 FREEZER BEEF SPECIALISTS GRADE A-1 STEER SEAVIEW MARKET Roberts Creek Sun -Thur 10 -6:30 Fri & Sat till 8:00 p.m. Coast News, June 14,1977. 5.

A communication received from the Small Craft Harbours Branch refused, the village permission to go ahead with the proposed new marina on the grounds that it was on a scale not economically viable. Education interview with Mis. Cloe Day, retired school teacher of 40 years experience. Coast News: Persuant to questions now being raised over creative rather than rote learning in younger grades, any comments? Mrs. Day: I am sure that for every child there is a right time to learn everything, that if the child learns it then, he will learn it easily and it will stick. I am sure that straight rote learning must be done in early years. I learned my times tables in grade five, knew them well, and know them today without a moments hesitation. I don't have to think, it is an automatic reaction which has been very useful to me all my life. But a few years ago I tried to teach times tables to some grade ten boys who were on a new - math program and had not rote- learned them. These were not \"low IQ\" boys, but they found the learning very hard. I saw a couple of them recently and popped a times-table question at them; they had to stop and think to find the answer. You can quote me as saying \"all rote learning before grade seven\", but I would like to see some genuine research done on this problem. Coast News: What about the changing nature of the teachers' role? Mrs. Day: Schools originally were to give you the tools of learning, you were supposed to be able to read and write and understand something; to do some kitchen arithmetic and know the. principles of mathematics. If a teacher could give you these tools, you were on your way to getting an education. More and more as we quit being a pioneer society we've left the upbringing of children to the schools. As parents become workers they have increasingly less time to spend with children so we've kept passing it on to the teachers; they're supposed to be all things to all people; until we have the teacher now as we have the policeman loaded with so many things their job is utterly and totally impossible. Another thing we did that was very bad for education was \"unemployment\"/ we kept making up these stories about how you can't do this or that; you can't dig a ditch; unless you've got a grade twelve education. You can't fool kids! Any kid in the world knows that's a crock of bull! That's why kids say teachers cheat; it isn't the teachers cheating 1 Coast News: What alternatives do you propose? Mrs. Day: I want the compulsory part of schools to deal with the skills of learning only - certainly all students should be able to read with skill and comprehension, to listen, to observe, to form ideas and opinions; make judgements; discuss and express themselves; to think. So should they have arithmetic skills mastered to the point of automation - for their own convenience. So should they be exposed to a broad background of knowledge in the fields of history, geography, the sciences, politics, and philosophical thought. But they should not be expected to memorize a lot of stupid \"facts\" and details. So we keep making changes, adding courses, bluffing at how much we are really teaching.

Ken left Vancouver last Saturday on United Air Lines en route to Morristown, New Jersey, where he will be met by officials of Seeing Eye, Ind. This organization will be host to Ken for about four weeks and will provide him with a dog. Both Ken and his dog will undergo, a period of getting acquainted and intensive training in order to become a smooth working unit. He has already spent some time with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind in preparation for the trip. The duty of a seeing eye dog is to assist its master to get about with ease and safety, and when it learns the required skills the owner's handicap of lack of mobility is greatfully overcome, and he experiences a new feeling of independence and self-realization. Many persons are now guided to work, to school, to shop by their dog, and some have used them on overseas vacations. Between the dog and its owner a strong affiliation develops and this sensitive animal understands so completely the needs of its master. This is a working dog that gets rewards by fulfilling its duties successfully. Strangers may get the urge to give the dog an encouraging pat or some food but these tokens are necessarily the exlusive privilege of the owner. The Seeing Eye organization expects all applicants for a dog to be in good general health, and to have the capacity to learn and apply instruction in care and use of the dog guide. A blind person and his dog must be prepared to walk for many practice hours on the streets of Morris- town. To get in shape for this activity Ken has been working with the Sunshine Coast Community Resource Society's fitness service, and has been participating in the WAMM (Walk a Measured Mile) program: During the period of training in New Jersey the applicant must get help from a sighted person in order to get around. Ideally this should be done by a family member or friend, but such an arrangement can rarely be achieved, therefore, the organization has turned to the Boy Scouts for help. These young persons have given outstanding service in helping the blind persons during their training program. They are passing on to the trainee their own Scout motto: \"Be Prepared\". The whole Seeing Eye, Inc. program is of tremendous value, and appreciation for its effectiveness is enhanced when it is learned that costs of transportation and accommodation are met by the organization. Seeing Eye is a philanthropy and is supported by income from its earnings on its endowment, trust income, bequests, and contributions. However, a recipient must bear some cost of the dog and training ($150.00 for first dog and $50.00 for subsequent ones) but payment may be spread over a period of years so it is never a hardship. No other individual or organization may relieve the blind person of this responsibility. This policy enables the owner to feel a sense of accomplishment and ownership.

We have also been asked to take over the Sea Cavalcade Bingo which will be held on August 6th. To do this we will need volunteer workers to help out. I have accepted the invitation to promote the deal but I need your help to put it over and I ask you, please don't let me down.

Matti did a lot of volunteer work for us when we were building the hall as he was an expert on the use of dynamite and made our work a lot easier and lighter by his efforts. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, and we send our sincere sympathy out to Minnie, his beloved wife and their families in the loss of such a wonderful person as Matti^ \" ��� ���\" I would also; like on behalf of Kay and myself to thank our \"Sunshine Convenor\" Winn Keene for the beautiful cake and card she supplied for our 49th Wedding Anniversary, it was a wonderful and kind gesture on your part Winn, and Kay and I cannot express in words the kindness you have shown.

Lockstead in Pender meeting (cont'd) Community plan for Pender discussed in depth Chemical spraying Lockstead also told the meeting that in spite of all public protest, spraying of powerline right-of- ways with the defoliant 2,4-D would be resumed this year by B.C. Hydro. He noted that .the chemical had been proven to be harmful to many animals including humans, and especially pregnant women and small children. The spraying decision was only one more example of the way the public corporation has passed out of public control and become a law unto itself, Lockstead said. He told the meeting that 41 cents of every dollar paid to Hydro by consumers goes to cover interest on loans, many of which are made necessary only by an unnecessarily high projected growth rate. The corporation has made no effort to conserve energy, he added; 41% of the electrical energy used in B.C. is consumed by 26 major consumers who pay only 21 % of the cost. \"They have it set up so the more you use the cheaper it gets, when it should be the other way around.\" Coastal oil spills Lockstead also dealt at some length with the threat of oil- spills on the coast, noting that the threat of damage to local beaches has been greatly increased by the oil companies' decision to favour a Cherry Point port over one in Kitimat. When a man in the crowd suggested B.C. should allow American oil to pass through its ports because the U. S. allows Canadian oil to pass through American ports on the east coast, Lockstead exclaimed, \"A bad situation over there doesn't justify one here. The B. C. coast is just too precious to expose it to this kind of abuse and I for one will fight to my last breath any attempt to let tankers come down this coast.\" The meeting applauded loudly.

The Ratepayers have been successful in preventing any more sewage outfalls being established in the harbour, he said, and a letter was read from the Department of the Environment assuring the group that the sewage plant at Vista Villa in Bargain Harbour, although operating at slightly above permitted levels, was not creating serious pollution. During the discussion of the Pender Harbour Community Plan, Howard White posed the question of how the area had become committed to-drawing up a plan when there was no law requiring it and there had never been a public vote on the question. Regional Director Jack Paterson said he thought there was some law in the municipal act requiring community plans, but couldn't be sure and would check on it. Shirley Vader said it was just Pender Harbour's \"turn\" to draw up a plan and Billy Griffith said he thought the job had been given local people because they had objected to planning bylaws 96 and 103 devised by the regional district. Joe Harrison pointed out that none of these remarks answered the original question and suggested the plan had been initiated by the regional district planner. -In response to a further question by White, Paterson said that he favoured giving the public a final say on the plan by putting it to referendum, and wquld make every effort to have a referendum held if it were possible. Shirley Vader presented the meeting with an up-to-date re port on the plans to build a swimming pool in the new high school at Kleindale, saying that the $280,000 cost would be part of a $980,000 recreation program for the whole district (exclusive of Gibsons Village). The program would eventually be put to referendum, but even if Pender Harbour voted against it, it could still go through - if the other areas down the road voted for it. One woman wanted to know if the decision to incorporate the pool in the new school and use it for fire protection meant the school was \"being constructed without an adequate water supply and sprinkler system. Paterson confirmed this, adding that it would take 2 or 3 years to build a water supply system. Bill Schoular told the meeting, \"It is just crazy to rebuild that school without a water system going in first.\" The people of Pender Harbour have a history of reacting violently to any and all forms of regulation or restriction, but that may soon come to an end if the marathon four-hour meeting held Sunday, May 29, to discuss the newly-drafted Pender Harbour Offical Community Plan is any indication. The plan, worked out under the direction of the Regional District by a committee appointed by regional director Jack Paterson, is similar to one introduced by the Pender Harbour Ratepayers Association in 1972, in that it proposes to divide the area up into zones of restricted land use. Unlike the public meeting which noisily rejected that earlier plan however, the meeting on Sunday reacted calmly, if a bit suspiciously, to the new proposals, asking questions here, making suggestions there, seldom raising a voice. The peaceful reception was a Graduation J'S UNISEX HAIR MEN'S HAIRSTYLING EXPERTLY DONEBY EVE SCHILLING SUNNYCREST MALL tribute to regional director Jack Paterson's judgement in appointing the 8-member committee, which seems to have included a little bit of something for everyone. The plan itself covers only the immediate Pender Harbour area, from the lower end of Sakinaw Lake across to the powerline above Kleindale and down to Silver Sands, excluding the Egmont and Middlepoint areas. Two commercial cores would be centred around Madeira Park and Garden Bay and a 200- acre industrial zone would run inland from the area of the Webb machinery yard in Kleindale. The Kleindale area would also be the site of several agricultural reserves and the area surrounding Garden Bay Lake would be reserved for light-density residential development. The remaining areas would be.straight residential, exclusive of other uses excepting commercial services \"to supply local needs only.\" The plan's basic goals are all on the side of the angels and elicited no objections from anyone: to preserve a sense of rural community, maintain a mixed population, encourage employment and community service, protect the natural character of the area, encourage conservation, and to \"provide for the recreational needs of residents and visitors while keeping rural tranquility and ecological balan- ce. When it came to the fine points of how these worthy aims were to be achieved however, there was prolonged confusion and polite disagreement. For instance, the first objective in the plan is \"to encourage the .development of residential subdivisions\" and the first policy proposal under this objective calls for a tenfold reduction in the minimum lot size now applying to rural areas, from 4.9 acres to .49 acres. This .49 acres would, furthermore, not be a hard and fast minimum but only an \"average minimum\", so that on choice land lots might be diced up to a much smaller size. Another policy provides for condominiums and cluster developments on lots less than .49 - acres, requiring only that they have common sewers. Many people evidently found these measures a curious way to seek \"preservation of the natural atmosphere and sense of rural community\", and wondered if the committee wasn't saying one thing and doing another. At one point in the meeting committee member John MacFarlane was even heard to say something about \"building a city here\", which some people objected to but others did not. Sue Tarnoff said half-acre lots were too small, and would soon result in a community of \"all houses and no trees\". Planner Robyn Addison herself remarked that if the entire 19,000 acres under study were developed into .49-acre lots, accommodation would be made for 77,000 people, which she added dubiously, \"is a lot of people\". Peter Benjafield stood up to deliver an impassioned and eloquent warning against turning the area into \"another Kerris- dale or Richmond\", and drew the only applause of the afternoon. Even it was spotty however, because whereas the meeting drew only about 65 people, most of the area's developers and important land holders were there. Bill Malcolm said half-acre lots were too big and would only cause a lot of land to be wasted, and committee member Lloyd Davis,,who is a director of the Pender Harbour Property Owners Association, let it be known that' the half-acre average was the work of \"other people on the panel\". . \"I feel .4950 acres should be the maximum lot size,\" he said. The meeting split along similar lines discussing a proposed greenbelt policy which would require developers to deed over a 49.2-foot border fronting all lakes and streams. Property owners with streams saw this as asking for an invasion by hordes of rowdy, bottle-flinging punks; others applauded it as a civilized measure to prevent lakefronts from being fenced off from public enjoyment like so much of the seafront. Policy proposal 5.1.2.2, prohibiting storage of \"derelict machines or any junk\", drew predominantly hostile comment. \"Who's going to decide what's junk?\" asked Sammy Lamont. \"I've got a rusty old boomstick auger in my yard and there's probably a lot of people go by and say 'look at that awful piece of junk', but to me it's a very useful device.\" Robbi Peters said she .would regret having to take the old cars off her place because, \"I have a gang of teenage hoys and anyone with teenage boys will know how important old cars are. They learn a lot working on them and it keeps them home out of trouble. I don't see anything wrong with that.\" There was no criticism of the choice of location for the industrial zone but some speakers thought it would not encourage prospective industries to be forced to locate in an area not of their choosing and which would probably become very expensive. Bob Lamont pointed out some light industries would require waterfront and barge-loading facilities and should not be confined inland. A Mr. Sim questioned the wisdom of an absolute ban on marine sewage outfalls, saying they would be all right if disinfected with chlorine. Committee member Joe Harrison pointed out chlorine itself was harmful to marine life and claimed no known treatment methods could be considered foolproof. Critics persisted in opposing the.bah, saying, \"maybe some 7 new safe method will be invented.\" Even with Addison told the crowd it would have no final say in accepting the plan there was little more than vague stirrings and raised eyebrows. Ideas put forth at the meeting will be considered during reworking of the proposals but won't be taken as binding. Nevertheless, the finished plan will be regarded as \"the considered wishes of the community\" to be used \"wherever possible for making deci-. sions concerning Pender Harbour\". Changes will be made only if it is \"clear the change enjoys widespread community support\".

On May 25th, 28 members of the Gibsons team travelled to Abbotsford, where they competed in track and field events against school teams from Sechelt, Abbotsford and North Poplar. Although Gibsons was the smallest school competing at this event, they did exceptionally well by capturing 40 ribbons, approximately V_ of the awards given, and finishing 3rd place in overall points. Well done! Richmond - B.C. Elementary Track & Field Championships The B.C. Elementary Track and Field Championships were held at Minoru Park, Richmond on May 27th, 28th and 29th. Many local supporters were on hand to cheer and encourage the Gibsons team. The untold hours of practise and effort by both coaches and students certainly paid off for the Gibsons team as they received Gold, Silver and Bronze medals, and placed an outstanding 2nd place in overall points for schools entered with less than 300 students. Children competed in three categories: Tykes, Pee Wees and Bantams. Approximately 1600 children from 140 schools were entered in the events. 7 Gold Medal winner Sasha Stout, 9 year old tyke girl, became the 1977 B.C. Champion in the 1500 meter event. Brad Krintila, tyke boy, received a Silver Medal for his exciting 2nd place finish in the 400 meter race, and was also awarded a Bronze medal for 3rd place finishe in the 1500 meter event. Other Silver Medal winners were tyke girls Celina Owens, Julie Macedo, Sasha Stout and Sonya Valancius for an exciting 2nd place finish in the 800/200/400/600 Medley Relay.

Besides the soccer players, a ' number of friends and helpers of the club were in attendance: Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Fromager, Mr. and Mrs. Glyn Davies and Ernie Fossett. After John Crosby chopped down some posts the soccer players put up a net and had a number of wild volleyball games. Once, the ball went into the bushes and was retrieved by Robbie Williams in his V.W. dune buggy. Some of the wives, including Charlene de Reus, Vi Campbell, Ann Duffy and Gisela Bjornson enjoyed a game of croquet. The party was a great end to the Wanderer's season.

C. Hydro strives to meet a growing demand for electric power. Addressing a growth-limits seminar in Victoria, James W. Wilson, a B. C. Hydro Director, said, ' 'As we turn to sources or energy that are farther and farther away, the transmission lines become longer and longer, and we get into the development of nuclear power, the cost is going to go up and up.\" The demand for power in B.C. is doubling every ten years, and this rate of exponential growth could accelerate even faster. This is forcing B. C. Hydro to look to the Liard and Stikine River systems in Northern B. C. for future power generation. Just to keep pace with the growing demand for power, B.C.

By 1990, Wilson said, one-half that capacity will have to be added annually. B. C. Hydro will continue to develop hydro-electric power until about 1986. Then it will begin looking at the Hat Creek coal deposits as a source of fuel for power generation. Contrary to the forecast by former hydro Co-chairman, Dr. Hugh Keenleyside, Mr. Wilson said nuclear power won't be available in B. C. by 1981 because it takes eight-years to build a nuclear plant and none have been started. The use of electricity in B. C. must be curtailed and B. C. Hydro will take steps to see that this occurs. Wilson said B. C. Hydro rate structures could change shortly, because consumers won't curtail their use of electric power until it hurts. It would appear that B. C. Hydro is considering either charging more for power beyond a certain usage - or at peak power periods. I was talking recently with Vancouver inventor Ward D. C. Carson about the problem of leveling out consumption of electricity. As it stands now we are primarily building power generating facilites to cope with peak demand loads. Mr. Carson informs us, one way of leveling out the weighty energy demand of peak periods would be to develop some means of storing power generated during off peak periods for use during peak periods of demand. He proposes the use of gyro-scopes to store energy for later use. The idea isn't new - gyro-scopes have been used for years to store energy. The Swiss had buses powered by energy stored in this manner forty years ago. Every three miles or so they would pull to the curb, plug into an electrical outlet and charge up their gyro-scope. The stored energy powered the vehicle to the next station. More recently, small sophisticated gyro-scopes have been used to provide power in satelites and space vehicles. Ward Carson says why not develop this principle to the point where major users of electricity - factories, shopping centres, high- rise apartments and the like might install a series of large gyro-scopes operating in a vacuum right on the premises. Once charged, such a gyro-scope would run for weeks withough being recharged unless the power generated is used. After midnight for instance, power generating facilites that aren't being used to anywhere near capacity could be used to Going through the Change of Light?

With refinements,- the gyro-scope could be installed in private homes. An electric-! motor on the gyro-scope would spin the gyro-scope to the requi- ; red speed and then be turned off. automatically. Later in the day,. ' the power stored in the gyro-. - scope could be drawn from to.- provide all, or a portion of the. - electic demand load required on the premises. It could be used in. ��� the starting of heavy electric - motors or for general lighting. It could even be used to replace .< the expensive banks-of stand-by battery power required by public,��� buildings such as large shopping ���- centres and hospitals. If the elec- - trie motor used to spin the gyro- ������.. scope were reversed it would be-- come a generator and could be ���. used to supply electric energy from the energy stored in the-' gyro-scope. Carson' says the-' principle involved is ridiculously .\" simple and many of the compo-1 \" nent parts required for such a- system are already on the market.'- ��� It's just a matter, he says, of developing the idea into something which would take power ' ��� generated in off-peak periods and\" ��� make it available during peak ��� periods. Carson suggests B. C.\"- Hydro might utilize. large high-' speed gyro-scopes in connection ��������� with their generating facilities so that they could store energy in the off periods of demand for ��� use later in the day. It would-' even replace the need for the ex- - pensive pumped water storage. ��� systems currently used at hydro\" - facilities. A rough estimate from\" ��� an electrical engineer I consulted' - ��� about this system, showed we could nearly double the energy' of hydro dams with gyro-scopic - energy storing systems, obviating ������' the need for the environmentally hazardous construction of still ' more hydro-dams. After questioning Carson regarding the development of this and other energy conservation ' systems, I learned that B. C.\" Hydro contacted him in August 1973 after hearing him describe' the gyro-storage system while ' being interviewed on C.B.C. T.V:. They approved 3 other- energy conservation systems ��� besides and wrote up a contract ��� * to develop them for Canadians' ��� and to make them available to\" other countries as well. Carson' received encouraging reports of ��� - progress for months on end but;-, was finally called by hydro engineer Cy White who told him that the higher ups don't want them and that the development was off. To this day that contract sits unsigned in hydro's files along with who knows how many others, where no one, especially British Columbians will benefit. Ward Carson is a former member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, is currently president of the Deep Cove Research and Development Co. Ltd., now making gyro-energy storage known to Ralph Nader's Energy and Environment Corp., and is discoverer of the basic coordinate system of our universe. ��� . *' A novel view of the Adventure Playground just completed behind the Roberts Creek Elementary School catches an obviously appreciative young lady delighted with the new facility.

Profiles of this place CHARLIE JONES By John Faustmann The house on the bluff in Grantham's Landing is neat and warm. The view from the windows is exceptional - the bay stretches out through the gap to the Gulf, and beyond that, Vancouver Island sits lumped and purplish in the distance. This is the home of Charlie Jones, and his wife Karen. Charlie stands at the window, looking out. Dressed in a soft flannel shirt, with braced to hold up his jeans and a pair of slippers that look like old friends, Charlie is sizing up the weather. He's trying to read the signs - the way the clouds are moving, what the gulls are doing, which way the trees are bending in the wind. For years he was a commercial artist, painting outdoor advertising. When the weather turned bad, he was out of work, so he's made it his business to read the sky. \"I became, not a bird watcher, but a cloud watcher,\" he likes to say. He doesn't bother listening to the weatherman any more. As he talks, standing there in the living room, Charlie Jones moves with a lightfooted grace. He spent nine years on the stage, touring the Canadian vaudeville circuit, and watching him, you can still see, the carefully tapped step of an old song-and-dance man.- His hands, palms outstretched, seem to balance him as he sways, and his voice, which is as soft as the blue of his eyes, is even, and quite compelling. It is a voice that is essentially quiet, but with that full note somewhere behind it, a note that hints that it could be much more powerful if it wanted. During his days in vaudeville, in between shows, Charlie would always go out to the zoo and look at the lions. You feel, somehow, when you see him, that some of their leonine ease must have rubbed off, and you know, that were Charlie to fall, either from the stage, or from the high scoffol- dings that dangled; above the street, he'd surely land, catlike, on his feet. But his is a life that has learned to balance. : He's ^originally an English boy, born outside Liver pool, and he arrived in Vancouver in 1909. A smile etches its way across his smooth-shaven face as he recalls his city boyhood. Those were the days, spent mostly with his friends on the Kitsi- lano Indian Reserve, but also spent working, helping to earn money for his family. He drove a horse and wagon over the wooden Granville Street bridge, delivering the English crumpets his mother made, and taking ice cream, peanuts and - popcorn, selling them to the^first concession stand in Stanley Park. Aside from his memories of a city now entirely changed, Charlie's boyhood must have been exceptional. His mother, he recalls, \"worshipped sunsets\", and his father kept tame birds, as many as 140 of them at one time. Then, on his way to school one day, he stopped at the corner of Fourth and Granville to watch a man painting letters oh a window. The man's work fascinated him, and he never did make it to school that day, but this was the beginning of his career as a commercial artist. He started out as an apprentice, cleaning the brushes and sweeping up, but you could say he worked his way to the top. Before he'd finished as a signpainter, he would have done many large billboards, painting eight-foot high blondes in bikinis, and three-foot wide flowers, and once, he was responsible for painting the revolving \"W\" high over Woodward's Department store. This all seemed quite ordinary to Charlie Jones. \"They never made buildings high enough,\" he says. \"I was never scared of heights.\" As much as he loved being a commercial artist, it wasn't an easy trade. He started off doing various pictures, learning the art by painting the Canadian Pacific trademark, and then doing huge packages of cigarettes for the Imperial Tobacco Company. Bad weather meant no money, though, and by now Charlie had found another love. He knew he wanted to be an opera singer. And so he began, paying but most of his salary for singing lessons., His first teacher, Olga McAlpine, was impressed with his patience and his fine baritone voice. His second teacher, a Mr. Orsatti, gave him free lessons in exchange for signpainting work. \"I struggled all the time through life,\" says Charlie, recalling this period. \"I struggled with both trying to get pay for my singing lessons, and losing time for bad weather on the job.\" Soon his voice was strong and deep and balanced within him. He began to get jobs singing in Vancouver. \"People ask me how I got into singing,\" lie says. --\"I tell them^was; starved- into- it, in the depression days. -That's how I got started.\" He played dates at the old Vancouver Hotel, the Quilchena Golf Club, the Georgia Hotel and the Terminal City Club. He billed himself as: \"Charlie Jones, the Character Baritone,\" and he dressed in blackface. Songs like: \"Old Man River\", \"Without a Song\", \"Wagon Wheels\", \"Deep River\", \"Swing Low Sweet Chariot\" and another, called \"That's why Darkies were Born\"i formed his repetoire. Charlie still has' the old suitcase with his costumes and makeup in it. He appeared on stage as an elderly black man, first as a preacher, then as an old negro slave. He. pulls the costumes from the case, showing how they were designed for a quick backstage change, and he fingers once more the tubes of greasepaint, the battered wigs and whiskers, and the other props from his life on the stage. From 1936 to 1945 he took his act across Canada. He played places like the Tick-Tock Club, the Chez Maurice, and the Samovar. There were usually five acts to a show, and Charlie appeared with magicians, ventriloquists, lady singers, and one woman who had a roller-skating act. A piano- CROSSWORD PUZZLE TODAY'S ANSWER 4.

' 'You had to watch, out,'' says Charlie, \"that your'.accord dianist wouldn't put the audience to sleep with something like 'Danny Boy*. You've got to come out with something bright, and go out with something bright.\"' Life on the road, working the vaudeville circuit, wasn't all that easy, despite the fact that Charlie was doing what he loved. \"People used to ask me if I did any partying in those days. But aftet^., four \"shows a dayT and* you finish\" at 11:30 at night, there's two things that enter your mind: Where's the restaurant? and Where's my hotel- beii?\" )So, after nine years, he found himself back in Vancouver, working as a commercial -artist again. \"I got tired of the restaurants and I missed the mountains,\" he says, and returned to the coast , to stay. That was some time ago, ' and Charlie has pretty well retired these days, if you can call the incredibly full life he leads being \"retired\". He's on the ; ferries into Vancouver at least three times a week, going into town to give painting lessons, - and to sing to different groups there. With the aid of one note from the piano, he still practices his songs, standing in the kitchen : where, the acoustics are a little .better. His fine:baritone voice can still project, as audiences in St. John's Church, the Kiwanis .Building, the CNIB Centre, and The Over Sixty Club of the Salvation Army well know. . But he's at home here how in .the house in Grantham's Landing. He and his wife. Karen aire happy here, and their two children come by often to visit.

' Back in those days when he lived out of a suitcase, .Charlie would find himself saying: ' 'This is pretty nice. But, by God, where are the mountains? Where's the sea water?\" Charlie finishes the repacking of his old battered suitcase, carefully tucking away the faded black frock coat, and the spirit gum that held on his costume whiskers. He straightens up easily, and looks again out the window. From the way his face softens to the view, you can tell that here, at last, there are mountains and Sea water enough, even for Charlie Jones.

Fitness swimming By Lynne Wheeler The swimming season is upon us, and that means that swimming lessons are here too. The lessons in the Gibsons area will be held at Armour's Beach and Hopkins Landing beach, with Joanne Green and Lynne Wheeler instructing. Courses offered to learn about self survival include Floaters (four years and older for non- swimmers), Pre-Beginners, Beginners, Survival, and Juniors. Intermediate and Senior courses are also offered to learn the basics for future Life Saving. All courses are taught about Water Safety,\" which is the most important part of swimming. Everyone, young and old, should know and use water safety rules, such as swimming with a buddy, judging the distance you are -capable of swimming and wearing a life jacket in a boat. These rules are provided so that you can have fun and enjoy yourselves in and around the water. Swimming is also a good form of excercise because it uses all the muscles in the body. In the water, muscles are more pliable and maneuverability is very easy. For example, running through the water is good for toning the legs. In waist deep water, moving the legs from side to side is a good massage, and tones the hips and legs. Coast News, June 14,1977. mwmammamBmamaKaammmammaa^mmma 13.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY 6 Oil spills threaten coastal economy Bulk Imported Cheeses Fresh European Meats & Sausage and a full line of ; Table Ready Foods * DELICATESSEN ��� CAFETERIA ^ Sunnycrest Centre This is the first part of a three- part series on the projected movement of oil tankers along our coast. By Howard White It is said army psychologists studying troops under fire during the Second World War quickly learned to ignore such symptoms as weeping, trembling and incoherent speech. The dangerous cases they found, the ones who would invariably prove incapable of saving themselves, were the men who were just acting normal. The principle involved was that under abnormally threatening conditions abnormal behaviour was the sane response and normal behaviour the insane response. With that example in mind one can't help wondering a little about the collective sanity of the B.C. public in face of its rather ho-hum response to the increasingly imminent threat of environmental destruction from marine oilspills. Perhaps the oilsoill threat has 'f* SUNSHINE AUTO & INDUSTRIAL PARTS LTD. 885-2296 -2297 Front End Clutches - Proto & Serving your needs with: Brake Shoes - Brake Line - Parts - Exhaust Systems - Starters - Water Pumps Westward Tools - Fan Belts - Rad Hoses - Turtle Wax - Seat Covers - Floor Mats - Spark Plugs - Oil Filters - Air Filters COME IN AND BROWSE Oil Spouts Filter Wrenches 30 W Vavoline oil 2.95 *2.19 99c qt. Prices in effect while stock lasts. been too often characterized in the media by photographs of tearful schoolchildren cuddling oilsoaked ducks. This treatment has certainly tended to enlist the sympathy of sweet little old ladies while alienating the average hockey fan and with him the poll-fearing politician. In fact a single major oilspill in B.C.'s inside waters - along either of the two tanker routes now proposed - would be an economic catastrophe affecting the daily lives of thousands of workmen, businessmen and politicians, in addition to those whose involvement in the issue is mainly sentimental. A continuing series of such spills, which appears inevitable from any realistic study of the routes proposed and past oil- tanker performance, represents a threat to existing lifestyles and livelihoods in the coast region probably unparalleled by anything that has happened since the European arrival. In our rather pristine history it is difficult to find a threat of comparable magnitude. It is certainly a more real and terrible threat than the apprehended Japanese invasion which caused such commotion and frantic preparation during the middle years of World Warll. But where is the commotion and preparation now? What is proposed of course is a deepsea port where tankers transporting North Slope oil from the newly-completed Trans- Alaska Pipeline terminus in Valdez can feed their cargoes into a pipeline system connecting; into a pipeline system connecting with the fuel-starved states of the American midwest. The oil cartel's first preference would be to deliver to one of the two areas where refining and linkup facilities already exist: Southern California and Puget Sound. Unfortunately for us, popular awareness of the undesirable effects of the oil traffic in both those localities is such that approval to base tanker routes there would be almost impossible to attain. In Puget Sound for instance, leglislation presently on the books regulating the shipping of oil is so severe that Atlantic-Ritch- field has challenged it in court as an unwarranted restriction on trade. The multinational oil companies, far from being impervious to public feeling as many people assume, find themselves fleeing from it, and it is this flight which leads them toward the B.C. border. There are two quite feasible Washington sites outside the Puget Sound limits, at Port Angeles on Juan de Fuca Strait and Cherry Point on the south end of Georgia Strait. Port Angeles is much preferable from a Canadian standpoint since its direct accessibility to the open ocean lessens the likelihood of accidents, and currents on the south side of Juan de Fuca Strait would keep spilled oil on the American side of the border, where spilled American oil belongs. Cherry Point, on the other hand, lies at the end of a difficult passage through the San Juan Islands where the odds in favour of accidents are greatly heightened and any spilled oil would sweep up Georgia Strait onto B.C. shores. Nevertheless the Cherry Point site is preferred by oil interests because some facilities already exist there - and because the residents of Port Angeles have opposed the oil port plan in a referendum. iWouldn't it be nice if someone asked us?) During the reign of the N.D.P. government, which was hostile to any plans for increased tanker traffic in B.C. waters, the northward flight of the oil companies stopped at Cherry Point but with the advent of Social Credit in December 1975 and Premier Bill Bennett's surprise advocacy of a tanker terminal at Kitimat, the battle moved into the heart of B.C. territory. Superficially, the Kitimat option would appear much- less attractive to the Americans than either of those in their own territory. It is further from the midwest and would involve the construction and renting of Canadian facilities. The approach is even more difficult than that to Cherry Point. But in a joint meeting with Canadian energy minister Alastair Gillespie, the U. S. energy minister James Schlesinger came out in favour of the Kitimat route and at this writing it seems to be leading the see-saw battle by a clear length. There are two reasons for this seeminly contradictory preferen ce. One is obvious: - just by advocating the Kitimat route the oil companies don't rule out use ofthe southern ports, and as far as they are concerned, the more facilities there are the better. The second is obvious only once one is apprised of a statute governing U. S. shipping known as the Jones Act. Simply, this law excludes other countries from cutting into national- U. S. shipping by making it illegal for a foreign-owned or foreign-built ship to clear directly from one American port to another American port. Its relevance to the Alaska tanker traffic is profound in that it would exclude the vast majority of available tankers, which have been registered under flags of convenience to escape civilized regulations governing equipment, safety and personnel' qualification. Not all tankers in this category are \"rust-buckets\" like the Argo Merchant which sank off Cape Cod last Christmas, but all rustbuckets are in this category, and the category itself exists only as a result of the oil giants' boundless desire to move their merchandise on the cheap. In short, the rustbuckets wouldn't be allowed into the Washington ports, but they would into Kitimat. That is obviously the kind of deal Resources Minister Gillespie is making in Washington, promises of tight new shipping controls by the Department of Transport notwithstanding. Without that advantage the oil companies would hardly be interested in Kitimat. Still, the decision must wait upon an official study of the route by Dr. Andrew Thompson and unless that study comes up a shameless whitewash Gillespie will never have the chance to see his bargain realized.

The Legislature adjourned for an Easter break on April 6. It's still adjourned. And the premier refuses to let MLA's know if or when they'll be called back to do their job to get our economy back on the rails. Statistics Canada has just reported that the number of people without jobs - in the rest of Canada - went down slightly last month. But in British Columbia, the number of people looking for work is higher than ever. The actual unemployment rate has jumped to 9.5 percent. (Seasonally adjusted, it's 9.1 percent.) Statistics Canada also indicates that business activity in other parts of the country is slowly increasing. In British Columbia, the only increasing activity is the number JUST LEAVE YOUR PAPER OPEN AND CHECK OFF A FEW HINTS of bankruptcy papers being filed - the bankruptcy rate continues to accelerate. Soon students will start looking mraer jobs to help pay in- cica. tuition fees and continue their education. Their changes of finding those jobs ar. in'-^pr than ever before. It's both tragic and scandalous. The Conference Board of Canada stated in a report last month that British Columbia is the only province in Canada which has the potential to \"generate sufficient new jobs to absorb labour force entrants \". But the government is taking a holiday. And while the government takes its vacation, additional thousands of British Columbians are thrown out of work. The finance minister says everything is \"rosy\" because the province's books are sure to balance when he issues the fourth quarter report. (That report, by the way, won't be ready until July or August because the calculations are apparently a little more complicated than usual this year.) He says the government's number one priority is 'fiscal restraint'. Not jobs.
