It is our hope that the B.C. Ferry Corporation will make a concerted effort to begin mature negotiations in order to reach an agreement as 7 quickly as possible to avoid any further inconvenience to the travelling public. Don Lockstead1 contacted,, the Coast News on-Friday October 7th to inform them of a telegram he had sent to Charles Gallagher, Jack Davis and Alan^WSKams. \"I urged the government* to sit down and bargain \"With the ..ferry union in good faith,V Lockstead said. \"In my opinion, they fl*ive notybeea bargaining in^.j^d faith \"in the past, arid they 'haye been negotiating for twenty-tuo. months in the case of the officers.\" ' \"I also want the government to supply the transportation for essential services 7to the cut-off areas of the coast who depend on the ferry service. In August of 1971 he purchased property near Egmont on the ^Agamemnon Channel and applied X himself to his new project with a pioneer's zeal. He acquired a permit from the Federal Department of Fisheries, the first ever issued, and purchased $500,000 /of equipment. He was also promised in writing every possible assistance by the Fisheries De- t$\\ partment in the matter of acquiring the requisite eggs. This promise was never kept. Meneely never did get a single order for eggs filled to his satisfaction despite the fact that his operation proved to have a higher performance level in terms of freedom from disease than any of the government's own marine research .stations. Finally to circumvent the difficulties with egg supply Meneely applied for permission to construct, a simple fish ladder which would enable the salmon milling in His bay to enter his gravel beds;.thereby assuring himself of a supply of his own eggs. The'request was denied' and Canada's pioneer fish farmer was half a million dollars poorer. and out of business. '���' '..;-7 ��� With this .recapitulation of the position, completed the meeting ; was - thrown open for questions which. Meneely had come prepared to answer. Meneely was first asked if he had received any government grants. His answer was that he Egmont meeting against Hydro spraying Daly's motion read: \"Whereas The meeting of concerned an Gf the potable water and citizens which took place in the salmon streams on the Sunshine fegmont^Coinmumfy Hall n So ^c^i^Jraixi J^~a,- 1hev higher^ bidev^mjjyi consistently re- question Al Meneely,df Moccasm altitudes to the Gulf of Georgia; ferfed to wrjttfeir dat*r tetters. had received none - only three hundred free fingerlings for research. In response to a question from the floor as to whether he would start up again if he received full government co-operation. Meneely answered, \"Our operation is now history. 1 will never believe the. federal government again. I had a written guarantee of co-operation from W. R. Hourston - then head of the fisheries branch in Vancouver - and got an income tax audit instead.\" The assertion made by Meneely in the Canadian Weekend Magazine that the Income Tax Branch was used as a weapon by the government has not been challenged. At 7 the October 5th meeting Meneely expressed the conviction that large fishing companies are dictating and controlling some aspects of the federal ��� government's fishing policy. He said that excellent sources of information had indicated that the large American corporation Union Carbide had been given permission through its subsidiary Domsea to start a marifarm on the Alberni Canal, though there was no documented proof of this as yet. A letter to Meneely from a fisheries biologist two. or three ; years ago had said, \"As you.know our department has continually and strongly advocated a \"Canadian ownership\" policy in all fields.\" Meneely doubted strongly that any Union Carbide undertaking would have majority Canadian control since this was counter to the company's policy in other parts ofthe world. Throughout the -meeting, with the exception of the newly - developing issue of Union Car- Valley Marifarm about 'events .surrounding the closing of his fish farm also addressed itself to the question of B.C. Hydro's spraying of herbicide on the right of way. A resolution made by John Daly of Pender Harbour was passed unanimously by the October 5th meeting. and whereas all these 'streams' flow over B.C. Hydro power- line'right of way, therefore be it resolved that this meeting of twenty-four concerned citizens of the Sunshine Coast demand from B.C. Hydro a cessation of all future spraying anywhere on the Sunshine Coast.\" No satisfaction for;;;&$kjfcE. Members of C.A.R.E. (Citizens Against the Rape of ttiej. Environment) made theny second presentation to Sechelt council last Wednesday at \"the> regular meeting. Member Mr. Jack Pope outlined in a brief C.A.R.E.'s three main' .points of contention; (a) Council's selection of the representation to act on the joint airport committee, (b) Several points in the lease, and (c) Their recommendations con^ cerning the lease. Council's representative for the airport, Alderman Leitner, was felt by the committee to be in a conf flict of interest situation by owning property-at the airport and C.A.R.E.'s recommendation was that council should appoint someone else. Gibsons R.C.M.P. check this car which broke a telephone pole in two near the Chekwelp Indian Reserve between Gibsons and Granthams. The accident occurred at approximately,, 10.30'p.m. last Friday m^^ of the car were taken to St. Mary's Hospital. C.A.R.E. felt that there were .certain ambiguities in the lease. L The main points they made ...were, in paragraph three of the lease, responsibility for main- . tenance of the airport had not been clearly spelled out and should be legally defined. Paragraph eighteen, regarding insurance, does not in their opinion adequately stipulate where the responsibility would lie in the .eventuality of a claim, and paragraph nineteen where it states that the lease may be terminated i by the Municipal Clerk by giving, written notice. This, they felt should define more clearly if it was meant that both or either clerk had this option. Labonte ^ no. Metzler? : &t the regular council meeting held on October 4th, Mayor ; Larry Labonte of Gibsons announced that he will be'seeking election for another ternf^ mayor of the village^ Labonte said that there are one or Wo matters he would like to tidied up before stepping aside for a successor. 7 7 At the same time Alderman. Stuart Metcalfe announced that he would not be running again for aldermanic office. Metcalfe said that the only thing that had madehim consider re-election was the unresolved question of the Gibsons wafer supply. Since the'referendum vote scheduled for next month would resolve that situation he did not see any need for seeking re-election as alderman of the village. The third party whose seat comes up before the voters, Alderman Jim Metzler, was stlilf not prepared to say on October 4th whether or not he would be running again. Speculation has been that Metzler will seek to win election to the Regional Board as director for Area 'E', which seat r is to be vacated by present incumbent Ed Johnson.

Mayor Nelson told the delegation that their points would be. taken under consideration, and moved on to the next point of business. The committee stayed at the meeting and when new business was brought forward, Dr. Berman interjected asking why, when other delegations had been given answers, C.A.R.E. was being referred to a later date. His main concern was that while council was deliberating over the C.A.R.E. recommendations the lease could be signed, and he wanted, but did not receive any assurance that this would not happen. In other business, council was informed that Mr. Crippen had' paid for the burning of the debris on the hydro right of way at Seaside Village, and Mr. McKenzie the owner of the modular . had received a building permit to use on an adjacent lot. \\ An .application .by Mrs. Gib/- bons for a nursery was! initially turned down for lack of parking and the likelihood of vandalism. Mrs. Gibbons-spoke up7bn'her own behalf pointing out to council that the construction of ahursery would be of fibreglass, negating the worry of vandalism, and that there was adequate parking facilities. Alderman Kolibas felt that these points may have not been made clear at the beginning and it was recommended that the clerk, Mr. Roy the planner, and Mrs. Gibbons arrange a meeting to look into the matter further. Two applications for subdivision Were received! Mrs. Macfarline made application to divide her property at the east corner of Reef and Shoal. This was turned down pending the construction of an access road along the edge of her land. Council suggested to her that a way to do this could be to aquire a piece of land on the adjacent property as this would enable her to put the road through. In the same area another proposed subdivision was tabled until the drainage situation could be looked into in greater detail. Mr. Ted Osborne's request for a 33 foot road allowance on D.L. 1472 was also tabled. In the meantime, the village and Mc Osborne will find the proper channels to go through and report to the next general meeting. Mr. George. Floros, owner of the Parthenon Restaurant received approval from council for a \"holding bar\" with the ���Please turn to Page Eight government memos, etc\", which clearly - showed the fisheries position to be totally contradictory. In reply to a question from the floor which asked what could be done to help. Meneely replied, \"I really -didn't come here looking for- help, but to inform you so.maybe.this type of thing won't happen again.''7 : When asked if he still thought that.. the type of fish-farming operation that, he ,had been engaged in was still viable given government co-operation, Me- neely7rep1ied: \"Yes. and it woulid^ benefit both sports and commercial fishermen by increasing the available stocks of fish.\" Commercial fishermen in the audience saw no threat to their livelihood in this type of activity. ������'ir. Meneely expressed the opiiiiof that the provincial govemitterl-.- should have control of the fisheries since the distance from Ottawa left the Fisheries Branch in Vancouver, virtually autoi mous. He doubted however that Ottawa would relinquish comrol . easily. Meneely was asked if disease was a problem in a hatchery. He replied, \"Whenever you increase the number of a species in an artificial environment this is something to. watch out for, but ours was almost totally clean. In fact our permit, #1,' says we were to report and shut down if an appreciable disease occurred. A few large hatcheries, say like the government one at Capilano, have a much greater potential for disease than a number -Jsjf small ones like ours because all their eggs are in one basket.-!��? Meneely offered the opinljgi that fishermen, both com menyjl and sports, should stop fighting each other and unite because their problem was a comrnoS one - no fish. \"The woods 3r. , dustry has been the FedeS)j5j Fisheries whipping boy long enough,\" said Meneely. \"StKe they cause damage to spawning areas but the real problem ht& been .poor management by ttfp government.\" 7*-\"* A fishermen's union representative present said that he would put this topic on our order paper at the next union meeting. By unanimous vote the Egmojit meeting voted to recommend that representatives of all concerned organizations should he asked to meet together wijh other interested individuals to consider all pertinent aspects\" of the fishing industry, including Tconservation .and aquaculture.

The .proposed date for such a meeting would be October 19th and the likely site would be the: Madeira Park Elementary School. The conclusions dntwn by rlijr October 5th meeting were thi|: .1.

It is difficult not.to sympathize with the ferry workers in this most recent dispute, however. The licenced officers have been without a contract for twenty-two months and in its attempt to radically alter the rules which govern overtime the B.C. Ferry Corporation seems to be flying in the face of a historic commitment on the part of organized and salaried workers in favour of the approximately eight-hour day. One can but wonder why, with a contract expiring on July 31st, the parties concerned don't even sit down to the bargaining table until after the contract has expired. Surely it should be possible to begin,negotiating a few months before expiry in the hopes of effecting smooth and continuous service. Are the officers of the corporation under unreasonable pressure from a government which wants to make a name for itself as economic wizards of thrift? Is there an attempt on the part of the government and the ferry corporation to break and discredit this union in its fragile youth? It is known that they would prefer to have the licenced officers unaffiliated with the unlicenced. There is no doubt that the trade union movement is sometimes guilty of excess but, since it is almost inevitably the unions that are blamed by the general public when negotiations break down, one cannot help but wonder if the precedent-setting demands about the payment of overtime made by the corporation and the intransigence with which they cling to them are not tactics designed to discredit the ferry workers union. Corruption? There are several disturbing aspects which linger about the affair of Moccasin Valley Marifarm. It is not just that an honest to goodness Canadian pioneer of energy, ability, and vision with an initiative which would seem to be in tune with the future developments of the fishing industry on this coast has been discouraged from continuing his work in a heartbreaking fashion and great personal cost to himself. Though, goodness knows this is bad enough. Firstly there is Mr. Meneely's allegation, not denied by the fisheries branch that the marine^biologists at the Nanaimo Research Station are profiteering' from knowledge and research data which they acquire at public expense. It's a nice trick to draw a government salary during the day doing research and acquiring information then turning yourself into a company for the marketing of that information for your own gain. It would seem from this vantage point that if Mr. Meneely's allegations are correct and this is happening then there is more than stupidity in our much criticized bureaucracy - there is blatant corruption. Knowledge acquired at public expense should be public knowledge. Secondly there is Mr. Meneely's contention that the Federal Tax Branch is used by various government branches as a weapon to intimidate the public. He has made this assertion publicly in a national magazine and again it has gone unchallenged. Is it niavete that causes we Canadians to think that such corruption and mis-use of power can only happen south of the border? If Mr. Meneely is correct then it would seem to be time for some major house-cleaning of the civil service, and the sooner the better. Thirdly there is the apparent likelihood that the business of farming fish on the west coast of Canada is about to fall into the hands of the giant international corporations which already control so much of our economy and our lives. If the net result of the policies of the Fisheries Branch in Vancouver is that control of yet another economic activity is falling from our hands and into foreign control whilst Canadians such as Al Meneely have shown not only the energy,, the Inclination, and the requisite capital to make a beginning on the enterprise are frustrated and driven from the field by the agents of the government that is supposed to serve them then those policies are quite simply wrong. Why is it possible for a foreign owned company not legally entitled to foreshore rights to place an order for nine million salmon eggs with the hatcheries operated by the Canadian government and expect to have that order filled when licensed Canadians cannot get an order of a few hundred thousand filled? Al Meneely's dream of a viable fish farm seems to have been most cruelly and expensively frustrated by the hostility and lack of co-operation of the Fisheries Branch. If, however, what happened to him casts some light on the condition of the Canadian Civil Service and causes the rest of us to ask questions which are long overdue, the sacrifice of Al Meneely's dream may not have been in vain. from the files of Coast News 5 YEARS AGO Driftwood Players, opening their fall season, announce an evening of one-act plays, two by Chekov and one by Shan.

John Clayton captured these rushing waters for posterity before the falls were transformed by a B.C. Electric power installation. For a few years electricity for the Sunshine Coast was generated here. After construction of the transmission lines from Cheekeye, Clowhom became part of a power grid. Since 1961 it has formed part of the B.C. Hydro system. What though the Falls be lost, All is not lost. The waters of erstwhile Clowhom are not overcome. They are giving their all continuously in a grand renewal cycle to sustain the toasters, mix-masters, carving knives., hair dryers, toothbrushes, amplifiers, billboards, and other essential exponents of our culture.- Photo courtesy John Clayton and Elphin- sone Pioneer Museum �� ���; ���..*... L.R.Peterson Musings John Burnside They had a little dance in the Egmont Community Hall last week and chance and The Pied Pear of the Pied Pumkin led me thither. The Pied Pear etc. are the two-man remnant of what was originally a three-member Pied Pumkin. Violinist-vocalist Shari Ulrich moved away from the group not too long ago and while a musician of her calibre must be missed it is remarkable how well the two remaining. Joe Mock and Rick Scott. have soldiered on. On the face of it an electrified mandolin and a guitar wouldn't seem to be much of a dance band but in the hands of masters, and Mock and Scott are most certainly masters of their craft, it works and works very well indeed for the most part. Virtually all of their material is their own and they bring to their work, besides their immense musicianship, a wry and exuberant brand of humour which is totally engaging. Scott is the showman supreme, a really fine singer, a colourful and likable stage presence with a seemingly inexhaustible sense of fun. Joe Mock is the supportive supreme. Often and contentedly self-effacing beside the flambuoyant Scott, his versatile wizardry with the guitar is a source of constant amazement and delight. My first encounter with Joe Mock took place about six years ago just shortly after his band, the Mock Duck, had been a fixture around the Lower Mainland. I was appearing as Gepetto in a production of Pinocchio at the University of Notre Dame in Nelson. Joe Mock with guitar ambled into a dress rehearsal and watched the show. Next night he was there for the opening and this time he accompanied the whole show on his guitar, adding that dimension of musical magic which transformed a good show into a great show. He was on the faculty of the University that summer, teaching guitar, and he was everywhere on campus. A one-man ecumenical movement he had open air. concerts of religious music for nuns, he had concerts for folk music buffs. Mock Duck arrived and he threw a dance for the leap and twirl set. Everywhere and always he did his thing with that serene and unpretentious good humour that is his trade mark. Perhaps my favourite Joe Mock story from that summer is the one about-Joe Mock and the Bishop. It was apprently the Bishop of the University's custom to spend some welcoming time in the Faculty Lounge with the new members of the faculty. One can perhaps imagine him being somewhat non-plusged with this particular faculty member. Joe's constant attire in addition to his long black pigtail was a red T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and bare feet. Nonetheless this was a liberal Bishop and he treated this faculty member w- he would another. After the routine intro��; .i-.:-.--:��s the Bishop asked. ' Tui me, Mr. Mock, do you make your living entirely by your music? \" ��� \"Yeah, yeah,\" said Joe. ' 'That's right.man.\"- { \"And do you find it sustains you?\" persisted the Bishop. : \"Oh. sure man,\" said Joe. ''Anytime I need a little bread I jiist take my. guitar and it works out somehow.\" ���' \"Well, it does seem a little precarious,\" said the Bishop. VDoesn't it cost you a little anxiety, Mr. Mock?\" H \"Well,\" said Joe Mock to the Bishop with his beguiling smile, ';'you know, if you put your faith ijn the right places, man...\" . Friday night in Egmont was your classic small place party. Those over sixty and under six got in for free. There were kids and dogs and an absolute absence of formality. Richly unsophisticated. And yet there was more, too. In addition to the music there were some animated movies. One of them made by the National Film Board had won the First Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for animated movies and featured an enlarged Pied Whatnot on the soundtrack with Egmont resident John Van Ars- dell on the mandolin along with Scott and Mock and another couple of friends whose names I missed. Once again I was awestruck by the immense amount of talent that haunts these gentle climes. Nor did the evening end when the dance ended. A number of us repaired to Van Arsdell's home where Mock and-Van Ars- dell were joined by another local talent, yet another, Bob Carpenter of Roberts Creek, who sang strong moving songs of his own and others with authority and feeling. With a delight in the music that was totally infectious the three of them played and sang together for hours before the enthralled handful around the Van Arsdell kitchen table which was adored with a grand quantity of fresh and delicious prawns. There are moments on this earth when heaven itself seems like an unnecessary hypothesis. And so, gentlemen, this public thank you. This vale of tears through which we wander is often a bleak and desolate place. Occasionally, however, we come to a musical oasis where gifted and sensitive men meet and make music, singing even of their tears and so transmitting the .bleakness into something golden and sustaining, a great autumnal grain field for the spirit. Last Friday night in little Egmont was such a night and I, who was privileged to be present, do thank you. 7 Slings & Arrows George Matthews by John Burnside Who is this man Matthews who writes a column called Slings and Arrows every week in the Coast News and why is it called Slings and Arrows? Who is this man Matthews who manages to get himself marooned in Vancouver, column in hand during a ferry strike leaving a poor beleaguered editor with a horrendous dilemma on a Sunday morning? Read on, dear reader, and all will be revealed by the afore-mentioned editor. Well, perhaps not quite all. George was born quite conventionally by tweparents - one of each persuasion - in Vancouver sometime during the Second World War. He attended school somewhere in Vancouver area it is believed and was a high school football hero, a plunging full back with a taste for cheerleaders and sports cars. At least part of .his post-secondary education was obtained at Simon Fraser University, the teacher- training part. His main university experience was obtained at the . University of British Columbia where he was a member of some standing in a prestigious fraternity house. After university he first went to work as an up and coming young executive type in an up and coming young executive type of social world. He was working as a Personnel Officer representing the company; in its dealings with the representatives of the work force when a particuarly crass and insensitive piece of personnel policy on the part of the corporation persuaded him that he wanted nothing more to do with General Motors in any of its operations. Having resigned on this matter of principle he then set to and became a teacher at Elphinstone Secondary School where the entire eight years of his educational career have been spent. He is presently employed as a counsellor and readers of this space will surely remember the graphic sketch he drew for us last week of a fondly-remembered counsellor from his own high school days. It is possible that in that wisely human old counsellor with a weakness for whisky our George was casting a wryly bemused look at his own future? He was hired at Elphinstone in September 1969 at the same time as the' editor of this paper and Mrs. Marta McKown. We were the only three new teachers on staff that year if memory serves me well - it occasionally does - and we were all three in the English Department. The principal then was a peculiarly charming gentleman by the name of Ellwood who seemed firmly convinced that only fear and insecurity would motivate his staff. Consequently he assured all three of us all year individually that one of us was extra and would have to go at the end of our probationary period. Somehow we all lived through the insecurity of it all and did indeed, all three, survive to do some useful work at Elphinstone, indeed Marta and George remain two of the brighter stars in the. Elphinstone firmament, though this particular rather flickering star has since gone on to new ventures. George was co-founder with me of the dormant drama. club, the Driftwood Players and the. first successful play that the company performed was The Lover by Harold Pinter which George directed. His first acting assignment with the players was the memorable braggadocio and bullying Captain who finally got his comeuppance in the children's play Androcles and the Lion. So effective was George at arousing the enmity of the youthful audience that he was serveral times assaulted as he puffed and paraded around the area: One particular tenacious little opponent clung like a leech to George's costume till the exasperated actor lifted the mite within an inch of his great red costume nose and scowling ferociously muttered: \"Get lost you little bleep or I'll turn you over to the principal.\" Later when the script called for'dear old George to be prostrate on the floor the kindergarten of Madeira Park took their revenge by wrapping him in the animal net that he himself had been carrying and'only the intervention of. his fellow actors saved him from grievous harm. ��.?:��� Subsequent to Androcles and the Lion, George was seen as the Ugly Sister with the figure in the 1974 production of Dick Whittington in the Sunshine Kingdom. Yours truly was the Ugly Sister without a figure. Ah me! George was again in drag in the production of Aladdin which appeared I think in 1975 and then last year was a splendidly urbane Fezziwig in the Christmas performance of Scrooge. In a brief appearance in- Salome in 1975 he sketched a lecherously decadent Roman at Herod's court for us. Despite the trepidation with which he approached his thirties - believe me, it took a concerted and compassionate effort on the part of all his friends to ease him through the occasion of his thirtieth birthday - George seems to have flourished so far in that dire decade. At the age* of thirty-three he took up the game of rugby and was named rookie of the year at that time, an honour of which he was singularly proud. Besides his professional responsibilities, his family responsibilities, his interest in rugby, and his presently moribund interest in the theatre, George is also a keen bridge player. No less an august authoritiy than the Coast News' bridge columnist, Jim Weir, has specified George as one of the better bridge players 'developing on, the Sunshine Coast. vt;...:v>r7 One of George's peculiarities is the fact that he was apparently seriously convinced for some time that he had the most beautiful feet in captivity. For years he informed us that his feet were truly special. Finally at a somewhat raucous post-performance cast party he was persuaded to doff his shoes and socks and reveal those wonders to our eager gaze. We gazed in some disappointment, let me assure you. at what seemed to the eager gathering to be a routinely knobby and uninteresting . set of toes and so forth. Myself was moved by disappointment to remove my foot -covering where, wonder upon wonder, it was revealed that I have web toes. George, of course, bore the chagrin with his customary charming good grace.. This, then, by way of a brief and necessarily incomplete biographical sketch of this civilized and charming gentleman. Space will not permit revelation how at an early age he discovered for himself the true significance of the Golden Spike nor allow the divulging of some of the more esoteric adventures that befell our hero in his youthful wanderings through parts of South America and almost all of Europe. Sufficient for these present purposes it is to say that this is a wise and human being who may well succeed in emulating over the long haul the counsellor he sketched for us in last week's paper. The students of Elphinstone are fortunate to be so served in the counselling office, and I suspect that already they have realized that. Neither far out nor in deep The people along the sand All turn and look one way. They turn their back on the land. They look at the sea all day. As long as it takes to pass A ship keeps raising it's hull; The wetter ground like glass Reflects a standing gull. The land may vary more; But wherever the truth may be- The water comes ashore, And the people look at the sea. They cannot look out far. They cannot look in deep.

Down on The Fifth Estate in the valley below I saw a Jaguar chasing a Mustang to the Edge of Night, and as I watched Mr. Clean and his Lazy Boy approached, calling out hearty Cheerios. \"Welcome Back, Kotter.\" they said when they reached me, and wanted to Whisk me aboard an American Express to go and enjoy an Irish Spring. \"That's a Fab idea,\" I said, \"but it's too Bold for me.\" Just then we heard, from down near, the Watergate, a loud Shout. \"Man Alive,\" I exclaimed, \"that sounds like an Emergency.\" \"Oh no.\" they soothed, \"The Jokers Wild - so angry that he almost went into Orbit. He's accusing Charlies Angels, On the Evidence, of being Tattle- tales on the Buses - but don't worry, it's All In the Family.'' In that case. I decided. I'll join a Chuck Wagon for a ride out to the Little House on the Prairie, where I am meeting Lucy and Mary Tyler Moore for a Cup-A- Soup.

East Besides his usual between- sessions constituency work, he has agreed to serve on his second all-party hunt for the best candidate to fill an important non- political appointment. Mr. Lockstead was named, on the final day of this year's session which ended earlier this week, as one of the four N.Q.P; representatives on the special thirteen-member committee ' to find and appoint British Columbia's first official Ombudsman. No person shall be chosen for this position unless there is unanimous agreement of the whole committee. The search will begin soon and will continue through the next, few months although next year's legislature probably will not convene until February. \"I expect the job of finding an Ombudsman will take half a year or more,\" Lockstead said today. \"The last all-party talent hunt, on which I also served, took about seven months to find and appoint an auditor-general for B.C.

Tel and the Telecommunications Workers'Union? The report of Federal Conciliation Commissioner Dr. Noel HaU has been one of the major topics in the current negotiations: B.C. Tel has indicated that almost all of the Hall Report's recommendations are acceptable. However, the Report fails to provide satisfactory solutions to some areas of major concern to our customers, our employees and the Company. This is a brief explanation of the major issue: What is at stake is the Company's ability to choose the most economical manner of providing services to its customers. The Company believes it must have the ability to purchase goods and services at the lowest possible price consistent with quality. This policy will not, in any way, endanger employees' jobs. The Company's proposal guarantees that no historical telephone work regularly performed by a B.C. Tel employee will be contracted out. In addition, the Company's proposal guarantees that no employee as of January 1,1977 and future employees who attain two years continued service, would be laid off due to;the introduction of new equipment, improved services, or systems. - When new technology changes the job of an existing employee, the Company's proposalcommits the Company to providing a training program for that employee so that he or she can learn new skills. In connection with this issue, B.C. Tel does not believe it is entitled to enter into an agreement which could result in increased rates for our customers. B.C. Tel is regulated by the CRTC and they have stated, \"we can disallow for rate making purposes any unlawful, improper or imprudent expenses.\" The Company has been directed to \"contribute every possible effort to achieve economies wherever they can be found...\" . B.C. Tel believes that further negotiations, could settle the current differences between the Union and the Company and remains willing to review outstanding issues.with the Union with a view to obtaining a contract that is fair to our employees and which will permit the Company to meet its obligations to its customers. B.0.TEL ���^���~���w���w Coast News. October 11,1977 THE ODD-ESSEYS OF DOCTOR STRANGE Magicians of one sort or another were pretty much a staple of the early comic-books when they first came into existence as an offshoot of the newspaper funny-pages and the pulp magazines. Few publications of the time failed to include some sort of house necromancer among the often highly-bizarre characters with which they peopled their pages. These sorcerers in residence were a curious lot with names like Ibis the Invincible, Doctor Fate and Zatara. They ranged from relatively mundane hypnotists who merely clouded men's minds to actual dabblers in the supernatural. Mandrake the Magician, direct progenitor of most of these strips, was originally of the latter persuasion and some of his adventures in the Thirties were masterfully imaginative. In later years, he became a simple mesmerist and the strip today is a pedestrian echo of its former self. Most of the others have long since been retired to the old wizards' home but the greatest of them all is still going strong. Doctor Stephen Strange was a l; and three from Sechelt. i f.

I know of no tournament player that doesn't use it, yet I know, of very few Sunshine Coast players that do. This week's deal was played five times at the last Golf Club Duplicate Bridge game. Since only one pair was using the Stay- man convention, only one was a makeable game contract bid. ' Neither side is vulnerable.

Pass 2C pass 2H Pass 4H paSs Pass Pass Opening lead: Jack of Spades. The Stayman convention is initiated by a bid of two clubs in responseX to5 a otieX notrump^ ^opening bid. Th& two ciufewiJs requires that the opening bidder either rebids a four card major suit if he has one or (wo diamonds if he docs not. The bidding shown above describes how one North player employed the Stay- man convention to place his side in the proper contract with the opening lead directed into the notrump hand. The other contracts at the Golf Club either placed South in three notrump or North in four hearts against a club opening lead. Neither contract can be made. However, South, playing in 4 hearts, had no trouble fulfilling his contract. After winning the opening spade lead he immediately played two more rounds of spades discarding a club from the dummy. This discard ensured the loss of only one club. The only other losers were the ace of Diamonds and the ace of Hearts. Not only does the Stayman convention have the benefits that it provides a means of arriving at a major suit contract with a 4-4 trump fit (which is almost always better than a notrump contract) and establishes the notrump bidder as declarer, but it also leaves the responses of 2D. 2H. and 2S to a 1 N.T. opening bid free T.J'S has a sound idea for every budget.

The greatest stickler is that, even without legal barriers, most women would still face discrimination. Here is one example: Mrs. Zeinab Zaki, the major stockholder in an Egyptian computer firm. Let us hear her story. \"There are no restrictions in business (on the surface), but, I knew I would never be successful without a man around, just for appearances' sake.\" She tells of the \"double life\" in which she hired a \"front man\" to sit in the largest office, while she occupied a small one in the rear of her headquarters. \"He played the front office, but I was in control. I gave him shares, I gave him prestige and the empoyees had the impression they were working for an important man and a firm they could trust,\" she said. Mrs. Zaki's husband, who is a devout Moslem, never opposed her working. But, she said, \"He made only one condition for me - that I should not neglect any of my housewife duties because I was too busy working. For me, this was the challenge!\" Adam Zagorin comments now, \"There is no question that some ofthe legal restrictions on women have a firm Koranic basis and embody part of the religious ideal to which many Egyptians aspire.\" I remember the tremendous conflict women had in Britain and America to win public favour, and governmental consent, to equal voting rights for women. The Suffragettes won that long fought battle, and much freedom has been granted to them. But, there are still minor skirmishes afoot. One, and it has to be to the church's discredit, is with the Church. Still there are those hard-nosed Anglican, Catholic, and perhaps other worthies, who adamantly quote their juicy texts of Holy Writ to bar the ladies from the Holy of Holies in their respective church sanctuaries. Can you believe a Pope Josephine? I'm sure Peter �����, When the Coast Guard boat entered Gibsons harbour last week it was on an unusual mission. It was bringing the belongings of retiring, fifteen- wouldn't mind one bit. Or Bishop Elisabeth? I'm sure the ladies suit the gowns much better, after all, haven't they worn gowns long enough? But, I suppose even some ladies might gag on these thoughts, for Holy Writ is really after all, you know, THE HOLY WRIT. And you must not be contentious on \"Holy Issues.\" So perhaps the dear ladies have a good deal of blame for their un- free state on themselves. Now, if they get rid of some of those hang-ups, then maybe they will get action. What did Old Abe Lincoln say? \"A house divided can not stand.\" So unite, dear ladies.

Dear Ann: What is with the old flower children and love, love, love? They rip off each others' pot and are doing everything to corner as much money as possible. I don't see the friendship Nutrition Question: Can we rely on sunshine to supply our requirement for Vitamin D? Answer: The ultraviolet light in sunshine activates a form of cholesterol in the skin to produce Vitamin D. However, the amount of ultraviolet light in sunlight varies with the season and the locality. These rays are also filtered out by fog, smog and ordinary window���glass.-- It- is obvious that an adequate natural source of ultraviolet light is impossible in northern climates during the winter months. Therefore, some other source of Vitamin D is needed. Milk fortified with Vitamin D is our best food source. Adults and older children can easily meet their daily Vitamin D requirements by drinking the amounts of milk suggested in the Daily Food Guide. However young children, expectant and nursing mothers may need a supplement to meet their higher requirements for Vitamin D. Question: How do canned fruit drinks compare nutritionally with canned fruit juices? Answer: Fruit drinks supply only calories and Vitamin C while, for example, canned citrus fruit juices supply Vitamin C as well as considerable folic acid, some thiamine and small quantities of other nutrients. Question: What is sorbitol? I've noticed it listed in the ingredients on a package of dietetic cookies. Answer: Sorbitol is a sweetener which is related to sugar and must be considered as a source of calories. Sorbitol is slowly absorbed and thus does not adversely affect blood sugar concentrations. Its usefulness in a diabetic diet is still being questioned. Shoppers' Bus Cut The Gibsons and District Chamber of Commerce regretfully announces that, due to insufficient demand, the shoppers bus service will no longer go through Langdale.

Opened Eyes Dear Opened Eyes: I've followed with interest the attitude of the people who accepted help and material things -shared what others had. Taking what belongs to others, particularly when they can't call the RCMP is just like hijacking. I don't see the spirit of the 60's. It was probably more of an illusion than anything. Sure a few creative people with love of humanity existed but a lot of others just mingled and took advantage of the climate of the times, living off others who conformed or worked. When they made money they spend it on their own and I've seen little concern, or passing on the favors. One has to be true to their own selves and not be too disillusioned, seek others like yourself;'>! To.: have, a: friend,' you must be a friend. Dear Ann: My husband's family ruin a lot of our plans. They suddenly visit, when we have a small outing planned. We have to keep a furtive type love affair going. They walk all over the house and even come into our bedroom. I like them but wish they'd ask well ahead to visit and give us a bit of privacy when visiting. Thwarted Dear Thwarted Sometimes: I guess that's a universal problem. One solution is to pc on with plans and say, \"1 hope you don't mind housesitting.\" Water the plants and feed the dog. Or, phone and let them know you are going to be away a few days on vacation. So that they won't come at those times put a bolt on the bedroom door after one try they'll get the point. It's well to discuss or arrange these visits at maximum enjoyable times. You have a lifetime to be frustrated or to have a happy relationship, don't depend on mind-reading. Dear Ann: This summer at a garden party a young man arrived in a voile dress, low neckline, with a little bow. Now my question is, shouldn't he have shaved the hair off his chest to wear a low neck dress? He stole the spotlight anyway.

Hydro contractors questioned again The same crew under contract to B.C. Hydro which was responsible for the damage at Steve Hodgson's property on Hanbury Road, has once again become ��� a focal' point for public complaint. ' The latest incident occurred two weeks ago when the crew cleared the stretch of power line at Hudson Creek, east of the Jackson Brothers logging road at Wilson Creek. For over a year the Gibsons Wildlife Club has been working on this creek to enhance its salmon run and, although the fish do not run up as far as the power lines. Conservation Committee member John Hind-Smith was upset by the method of clearing. Mr. Bill DeHart of B.C. Hydro accompanied Mr. Hind-Smith in an examination of the creek and although he felt that no major damage had been done he ,did see evidence of where machinery had run through the creek bed. An arrangement between Roberts Creek planning Several changes were made in the second draft of the Roberts Creek Official Settlement Plan at the public meeting held on Wednesday, October 5th at the Roberts Creek Community Hall. Although most changes were minor, two could affect quite a few properties. \" One change was to allow the lot size in the rural area to be approximately 5 acres instead of the minimum 5 acres. This would permit lots that are just under 10 acres which had lost footage to road dedications to be divided in half. The other change was to have an intermediate zone between the existing half acre and 5 acre zones. It was also decided to. delete the section that allowed restaurants to be located on the waterfront near the mouth of Roberts-^ Creek. Bruce Moseley, a committee member, argued,that he would love - to see a sea-food restaurant there but it is not possible to write by-laws that would allow a nice restaurant, but outlaw a fast food place like the one in Davis Bay. The meeting, in one,of its few moments of solidarity, agreed. Several times Doug Roy spoke on his idea of drawing up the plan to encourage the development of Roberts Creek's small commercial area. His plan calls for high density subdivision at the core with larger and larger lot sizes expanding outward from that centre. His ideas were not pursued by others. Generally everyone agreed that the plan is basically a good one. There will be future public meetings, the dates of which will be announced. Gibsons Continued from Page One Chairman of the Marina Committee explained all aspects of the application, giving details of its size, where it would be located the shareable costs formula, and left Mr. Braithwaite with the assurance that a public referendum would be held prior to council making a final submission. Several pieces of correspondence were considered at the council meeting. Included among them was a letter from a Miss C. Bremner complaining about the poor service available in Gibsons from the taxi service. Her letter said in part: \"This is a letter to ask if we cannot have a better taxi service provided in Gibsons, especially in connection with the arrival of Vancouver buses. One may arrive at about 8:30 p:m., no taxi, no telephone. It's dark and maybe rainy and if one could call it must be to Sechelt. Now why should one have to call Sechelt to get a taxi in Gibsons?!\" The village council agreed to write a letter to the taxi company ; requesting a better service for the village. In another letter, George Cooper wrote requesting factual information about the question of who is to administer Gibsons water. Cooper said, in part, \"Some' questions, for example, that many of us do not have answers to: Does the Dayton and Knight engineering report specifically recommend the regional district as the only supplier to Gibsons; Is there a potential supply, other than the regional district's, available to Gibsons for its future estimated needs? What are the comparable costs of 1. Gibsons upgrading its own system 2. The regional district upgrading the Gibsons system? When the village expands does it await the pleasure of the regional district for extending the water service? What is the view of the Gibsons Fire Department on the issue? Will there be layoffs of present village employees if the regional district takes over?\" As a response to Cooper's letter, the council agreed that a copy of the letter should be sent to Dayton and Knight with a request that the fact sheet they are preparing for the information of the taxpayers be made available prior to the public meeting on the issue scheduled for November 9th. A letter from the Executive Director of the Captain Cook Bi-Centennial Committee was presented to council. The letter requested that the council appoint a committee to determine the form that Gibsons participation would take. It was moved by Alderman Metzler and seconded by Alderman Goddard that the matter should be turned over to Mayor Larry Labonte for his thoughful consideration. Hydro and the Sechelt and Gibsons Wildlife Clubs is presently in the works as a result of this incident. Hydro have made three sets of maps showing the right of way for the power line, the two clubs are presently marking the waterways on the maps and they will be kept on file, one at each of the clubs and the third at the Hydro office. Before any clearing is done around the marked areas the clubs will be notified and Hydro . will clear by hand or turn the job over to one of the clubs. Ripples from the Creek by Lindy Moseley I went to the Roberts Creek Official Settlement Plan meeting this week to hear how our community was coming along with its creation of a long-range plan. Instead, I witnessed a few people bowing to what they called the \"inevitability\" of urbanization. A Community Plan, however, is our opportunity to choose how our area will be developed. The government wants communities to express themselves, and will ensure that future by-laws will conform to the intent of the plan. A few individuals were greedily pressing for. more subdivision . in the.. interests j pf i only r. them-..mi selves. Dollar signs in peoples'; eyes makes them less clearsighted about the future of our community. People who want to do what they please with their own land perhaps don't realize that in high density areas, they will be able to do much less of \"what they please\" and that what with the taxes for the new schools, roads, and public services, and the by-laws affecting what day you can hang out your laundry, the freedom of rural living that we how enjoy in Roberts Creek will be lost forever. Profiles of this place by John Faustmann GUY AND OLIVE CLEAR The Clears, who came to Canada at the beginning of this century and have since lived in places on this coast that most people have never heard of, have now settled into a comfortable white house on the Redrooffs Road. They have filled their house with the things they've made and collected. Olive's oil paintings decorate the walls of the front room, and her scrapbooks are stuffed into cabinets all around the place. In Guy's room in the back are his extensive collections of ship's models, wooden animals he's carved, and almost enough polished rocks to ballast a boat. Although both Guy and Olive are English originally, they didn't meet until they'd arrived here in British Columbia. Guy came from Hertfordshire, where his father had been a farmer. He arrived in Canada in 1904, when he was eight years old, and moved to Saskatchewan with his family. \"My father wanted me to be a farmer,\" he says, \"but I liked machine work.\" Some years later, when Guy had grown up and was running his own farm, he contracted pneumonia. His father suggested he go to the B.C. coast; where the warm weather might aid in his cure. It was 63 degrees below (farenhiet) on the day he caught the train, and he was soon in Victoria. \"Victoria in those days was like Sechelt,\" he says. But \"The bush was more my idea than a city,\" he adds, and after two weeks, supposedly recuperating from pneumonia, he set off up the West Coast Trail, along the edge of Vancouver Island. Olive arrived in Canada in 1913, leaving her home in York- Those who see a pressing need for small lots are welcome and encouraged to live in the already existing centres.

At this meeting, however, one committee member denied his support of the plan. This temporary interuption was the first in a series of disruptions to the orderly discussion of the plan. The meeting had no direction from the chair. Unfortunately, the discussion varied so much it was hard to get a feeling of what, if anything, should be changed. Many who would have liked to express a saner view were unsure whether their logic could be heard, if interjected into the chaos. The greaj majority of Roberts Creek community members moved to Roberts Creek because they prefer a rural area. Gibsons and Sechelt are designed as more urban centres'. nity is; made up of\" people ��� Who, want to stay. One person who argued for allowing smaller lot sizes was heard to say, \"Well,, if it gets too crowded after I subdivide, I'll move. I already have a nice place picked out.\" Fine and dandy,'why not leave right now and spare us. Not once at either of the public meetings were population figures given. But according to one committee member there are just under 1,000 registered voters in Roberts Creek. With the existing lots, and that is without . any zoning changes, we could develop a population of 11,000. Eleven times the current population, isn't that enough? The questionnaire which was circulated to all Roberts Creek citizens clearly indicated that the community wanted a rural atmosphere with a distinct personality - a separate community on the coast. The only way to have a rural atmosphere is not to allow extensive subdivision. The plan is a good one. Let's support it. ; shire, where her father had an iron foundry. \"I always liked travelling. I always travelled alone,\" she says. Many times she travelled by bicycle, and in 1928 she cycled all the way from Vancouver to Prince Rupert. She has scrapbooks \"of the journey, but the CBC has borrowed some of them for their upcoming television show about her. \"I didn't have a tent,\" she recalls, \"I just camped out. And I didn't have a puncture the whole way.\" Later that same year, after she'd returned from Prince Rupert by boat, she too ended up in Victoria. Soon after that, a friend who was living at Pachena Point lighthouse (up the west coast from Victoria) needed a babysitter. Olive agreed to take the job. Meanwhile, Guy came along the West Coast Trail, and when he arrived at Pachena Point lighthouse he got a job there too. Two years later, in 1930, Guy anid Olive were married. Although they had akfarm irfrtSourg:7 ���^;foratime^and Olive wbuMf-f 'occasionally cycle*down to toria, they spent most of their life together working in lighthouses. Guy was mostly a relief lightkeeper, and the government stationed him all oyer the coast. He and Olive tended the lights at Ballenas Island. Pine Island, Entrance Island, Scarlet Point, Pachena Point, Cape Mudge and Sisters Rock. Olive was at Estevan Point when it was shelled by the Japanese in World Warn. They have lots of memories of their years on the lighthouses. They recall the storms on the West Coast that would hit occasionally. One of them washed away three tons of coal that had been stored sixty feet above the high tide level. Another storm tore down an entire stone wall and took away several cords of wood, and at Pine Island the fog_ alarm was swept into vthe sea. They remember too, the sinking of the Gaiiano when she tried to land at Bull Harbour, and Olive recalls the little terrier her brother-in-law had on Triangle Island, and the storm that blew it right off the cliff. Some lighthouses were better than others. They never liked Sisters Rock. \"It's a miserable little place, that. Not a blade of grass on it.\" Guy thinks he liked Pine Island the best of them all. \"I liked Ballenas too.\" he says. \"We had a cow there, and lots of fresh milk and butter.' We had chickens too, and lots of eggs.\" They both enjoyed their life in all these isolated places, and look back on those years with fondness. \"I never found it hard,\" Guy says. \"I had lots of hobbies and I could turn my hand to anything that was wanted. Every thing seemed to come natural.\" \"Nowadays it's all push-button stations,\" Olive adds. Guy and Olive Clear know this coast in a way that few other pe,ople can. having travelled from almost one end of it to the other, but now they've decided to settle here in the comfortable white house. The oil paintings ?that Olive has done are of some of '\"the lights where they worked, and they hang there, on the walls ofthe living room, souvenirs of where they've been. Olive still keeps her bicycle down in the basement but a recent hip operation may keep her off it for a bit. \"We let the car go a few years ago,\" she says. Their many friends drive them where they want to go. however, and they still take the shopper's bus into Sechelt on Thursdays. Olive still paints quite a bit, and Guy carves out droll wooden dinosaurs, and they both tend the garden which seems to have grown larger these last few years. Still happily married after forty-seven years, Guy and Olive Clear have settled in now. going to tend their own lights for awhile. 20 GAMES $1,000.00 JACKPOT!

Originally it was a two-room building but now only one of its two rooms is used as a classroom. The other has been converted into a community library. Ron Fearn is the teacher of the one-room school and has been in Egmont for five years. Fearn has always chosen to work in this type of rural situation. \"One-room schools are supposed to be a thing of the past,\" he says, \"but I think people are coming to realize again that bigger does not necessarily mean better.\" At the present time Fearn has fourteen students enrolled in Grades one to seven but at the time a Coast News reporter visited him last week he had two little visitors with him, Robbie and Terri Gough, who are visiting in the area at the present time. This is not unusual. A recent letter in the Coast News from West Africa paying tribute to\" the quality of the educational ��� situation at Egmont was occasioned by another couple of little visitors who attended the school while they, too, vere visiting in the area. The fourteen regular students, including six new Grade ones this year, were all in attendance on the occasion of the Coast News visit. They were Michael Fearn, Elaine, Maureen and John Griffith; Simon Klatchen; Meagan Marian; Wanda and Darryl Jeffries; Jessica and Joseph Silvey; Kinji Van Ars- dell; Adam and Marie Wallace, and Richard Wallbaum. Some of them come to school by fish boat from outlying points. All of them on the occasion of this reporter's visit seemed happy enough to be there. It's a well-equipped little school. It was Story Time on a Friday afternoon when fhey were visited and they were one and all enthralled by that grand old classic Treasure Island which was being shown in animated cartoon form on the school's cassett television set. There is also a stereo record player. \"When I first came to teach here five years ago,\" said Fearn, \"there was virtually no equipment but there is certainly no room for complaint now.\" When the time came for school to be dismissed some of the children stayed in the school yard and staged an impromptu little drama around the large, rock which stands like a sentinel beside the school: \"Bang, bang! It's your turn to be dead.\" \"No it isn't!\" \"I've got a double ray gun.\" All in all this little school at the extreme north end of the Sunshine Coast seemed like a happy, cheerful little place. Teacher and students are obviously at ease with each other and the School District has provided Fearn with some splendid teaching tools with which to work. It's a one-room rural school but it would be foolish to see it The absence of ferry traffic proved a blessing in disguise last Friday in Sechelt when work on Cowrie Street was able to proceed without traffic congestion. as an anachronism. In terms of the equipment available and prevalent educational philosophy it is as modern as tomorrow and the Coast News reporter formed the impression that the children who go there are fortunate to do so.

VON 1VO 886-8111 Wildlife corner by Ian Corrance While having my Sunday afternoon cup of tea I was looking through the weekend Sun. I noticed an English school teacher now living in Nova Scotia had finagled passage for seven red deer from a Royal reserve in England to a wildlife park in that province. I suppose now that some High Commission or other has o.k.'d it it will probably happen, so all I can do is wish the animals a happy stay, but I wish people would stop doing things like this. If there's a scarcity of deer in that area it is probably because the land could not support them for some reason, or they were run off by civilization. If it is the latter and there had been deer there before, then why not put a deer there that is indigenous to the area? It's great to have animals around that remind you of home but also pretty stupid to tamper with nature and needlessly introduce something just to pamper a whim. Two prime examples of this are right in front of our eyes. In Burnaby some nut introduced the Crested Myna and over the past few years it has been gradually taking over, to the detriment of the rightful inhabitants. The second is the starling, brought over here by some homesick shortsighted person. A few years ago someone asked me to come up to their house and photograph a strange bird they couldn't identify, it turned out to be a starling, there were only a few around at that time. Personally I think they are a fun bird to watch, always nattering, but they are, like the Myna, taking over. You realize of course that not having been born in this country myself I would not put humans under this set of rules, I want to stay here. Since I'm on my soap box I may as well continue to pound the table. Mary Livingstone's horse got loose last Tuesday, she came in and asked if a note in the paper would help her get it back. It wasn't necessary as the horse returned a few days later.

When the horse was found it was discovered that he had been shot with both a shotgun and a pellet gun. Photo by Fred Inglis understandably a bit skitterish. In Mary's words, \"The horse was so friendly that it probably walked right up to the person that shot it.\"' The horse was being kept up at Crowe Road when it escaped and it is likely that it wandered up to the power line. It's quite understandable that if he got into someone's garden the person would chase him off, but shooting him is a touch extreme. One thing I'll tell you is that I don't want to be on his back the next time he hears a shot being fired.

There have been a number of stories lately about bears getting brave, becoming a nuisance, and Dan Gory havinglo dispose of a couple.

There was an outside light which could^ be ^ operated ���!V! v ^' '' \"..'��� Fum Earthworm farming from inside, he stationed his wife beside it and instructed her to switch it on when he yelled. Armed with a baseball bat he headed off into the dark. His yell coincided with the downward stroke of the bat, the lights came on, the bat resounded soundly off the rump of a black bear, the neighbour took off in one' direction while the bear high-tailed it in the other. This practice is probably not! reconV mended. ��� ��� . I got a call this morning (Sunday) from someone -who had seen what was probably a Pygmy Owl at Porpoise Bay, she was able to walk right up to it without it flying away. If you come across anything interesting could you drop me Earthworm farming, now a billion dollar business in the United States, has finally come u> Canada. Western Earthworm Farms Ltd. has opened a hatchery at St. Claude, Manitoba, and is expanding across Canada. Western specializes in raising and marketing the Red Hybrid species of earthworm which is highly favored as a fishbait be cause of. its attractive coloring and ability to remain alive and active underwater. Although current available supply of redworms is unable to meet the demands of the seasonal fishbait market, research has opened up exciting possibilities for huge new markets in organic gardening and farming, refuse disposal, lawn and parks beautifi- cation. and high protein feeds. (The rcdworm is 60% protein.) Hybrid redworms are raised in wooden \"beds\" of approximately 20 square feet. After being stocked with an initial culture, each of these beds will double its population, every 60 days, and is then split into 2 beds. It is this amazing multiplication factor and low overhead that make the earthworm business so profitable. \"> A ten bed start would multiply to 160 beds in eight months*, at which point over a thousand pounds of earthworms could be harvested each month without depleting the culture. Western Earthworm Farms gives each of its authorized growers \"a contract to buy their production for $2.00 per pound. These worms ar�� then marketed throughout North America. 7 Redworms are usually bedded in manure or peat moss arid thrive on manures, garbage, and even newspapers. - ��� ��� No phone orders Please.

His running commentary added greater interest to the film which was the best presentation we have had for a long time. Many thanks for the treat, Jim. Future films will include the showing of slides by different members of the group based on their travels or other experiences. After the films, members dusted off the bowls, cards, etc. and settled down to serious business. Bowling, bridge, whist, crib, and even scrabble kept things moving. The Ouija board was kept in hiding until October 31st when the demons will be haunting the place.

G. Pressley ' Secretary-Treasurer by Fran Berger Sometimes I am truly amazed that I am involved with promoting physical fitness. Sure, I believe in it, and I was involved in a lot of sports activities when I was in high school, but that was over ten years ago, and except for occasional hikes and backpacking trips, a yoga class, and the odd bike ride, the closest I've ever come to really trying to improve my condition was perhaps five attempts at jogging - which were spread out over two years. Each time I did it I realized that it felt good. I didn't feel like eating after 1 ran, so it really helped if I was trying to lose weight, and instead of being tired out as I expected, I seemed to have more energy and felt pepped Drop off your. Coast News Classifieds at Campbell's Family Shoes & Leather Goods in downtown Sechelt. It's convenient! WWIWWWWWWWWWU up. But I just couldn't discipline myself to really get into it. The rationalization I used'was something I had noticed when glancing through Kenneth \"The Father of Jogging\" Cooper's book. Aerobics. Cooper stated that if you can run a mile and a half in under 12 minutes, you're in good shape. At least, that's how I remember it. It was probably also conditional on your breathing and pulse rate being back to normal in a certain length of time, but if it was I ignored that part.

VON 3AO 885-2261 (Mrs.) A.G. Pressley Secretary-Treasurer a watch three of us set out one evening for the track in the school yard across the street from our house to see whether we could make it. And when my companions panted at me from the finish line that I'd better hurry or I wouldn't make it, I literally forced myself to break into a trot so I could finish the last 50 yards and complete my laps, in the prescribed time. Then I collapsed on the grass, legs trembling, lungs gasping, and heart trying to pound its way out through my head. But all the while I was consoling myself that I had made it, so I must be in shape. No reason for me to feel I needed to improve my condition, or at least not enough to feel I should take up jogging seriously. Just a small rationalization, but it was all I needed. Then a year ago I just happened to be in the unenviable position of looking for a job, and when the Wilson Creek Community Association approached me looking for a Community Youth Worker, it sure sounded good. \"Set up some activities for young people\" was the only direction they gave me. so off I set to discover what it was that kids wanted to do. And the answer was all physical. Boys must be born sports-lovers, because more chances to play floor hockey, and volleyball, and to ski was what they most often asked for. And girls, perhaps expressing competitiveness in a different form, wanted exercise and self- improvement classes, dancing Joyce and Cal Bissett make their final stop in Sechelt at the conclusion of their B.C. wide tour promoting B.C. products and their uses. They visited 35 B.C. towns and villages during the course ofthe tour dispensing information on canning, freezing, drying, recipes and general food information. and rollerskating. Little people job being the kick in the pants I loved to tumble and to learn new ways to make their bodies leap and roll about. So there I was, suddenly enmeshed in setting up all kinds of physical activities. And soon I was hearing adults say that they too would like some activities to take part in, so I learned how to do Aerobic Dance, and began taking people on hikes. And all the while I was doing these things and getting LOTS of exercise I was well aware that if it weren't for my SUNSHINE COAST REGIONAL DISTRICT NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING LAND USE REGULATION AMENDMENT BY-LAW NO. 96.21, 96.23,96.24 Pursuant to section 703 of the Municipal Act a public hearing will be held to consider the following land use regulation amendment by-laws of the Sunshine Coast Regional District.

By-law No. 103.10 would include a portion of the southeast one-quarter of D.L. 1603 in a Z zone.

VON3AO 885-2261 (Mrs. A. G. Pressley Secretary-Treasurer needed to get me moving. I, would still be sitting back telling myself that I must be in pretty good shape because, after all, I did make a mile and a half in 12 minutes. But after a while I noticed that a few small changes had occurred which I could attribute to nothing but increased physical activity. Of course there were the obvious ones, like being able to go through a while side of the Aerobic Dance record without stopping, whereas at first one song would have us all thinking we were going to collapse, and being able to climb up Soames Point without having to stop at every bench along the way. But there were also subtle, little things, like realizing that I had more colour in my cheeks than I'd ever had before, and that I didn't seem to need as much sleep as I had previously required. And even after a full day's work, I was more pepped up and ready to go in the evening than when I wasn't working. I just generally had more energy! Then people started telling me that I was looking good, and asking had I lost weight, and while my scale admitted to nothing more than an initial drop of a couple of pounds, 1 guess I was shifting things -.��� - around^.^ln4.r,^b!econm_j>�� slack-off.

Only this year I already *\" know what the benefits will be';:' so I'm finding it much easier to\"' talk myself into getting going on'; it. Even my husband who rarely' -; exercises is now talking about' coming to Chatelech to supervise': on Monday nights so he can get in on a little movement by playing'\" volleyball - and this without any*' pressure from me!. Ana so the,* muscle rather than fat. And-iiW** six of us spent our first weekY; well, being a relative new-comer together initiating each other\" to the Sunshine Coast, it was great for the spirit to walk down the street and almost always get a \"Hi!\" from someone 1 knew - usually a person from one of my classes. So my affair with physical fitness had its definite pay-offs and I gradually got the nerve to start suggesting to friends and loved ones that the> might enjoy reaping the benefits that a little physical activity brings as well. With summer came the end of my job - and the inevitable into our various areas of activity, the gentle art of easing me into-\" exercise with a lot fewer aches *; and pains than I had last year,'' when from doing absolutely nothing I jumped into three!;; Aerobic Dance classes and two'^ hikes a week with no preparation -; and my swollen ankles proved'\" my folly. Ah, experience! The\" ' greatest teacher there is. \"I wonder what I'll leatn from my fitness experience this year? \" I think my cheeks are already ' getting rosier! ��� '' SUNSHINE COAST REGIONAL DISTRICT NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING LAND USE CONTRACT BY-LAW NO. 157 Pursuant to sections 703 and 798A of the Municipal Act a public hearing will be held to consider the following land use contract by-law of the Sunshine Coast Regional District.

Sunshine Coast Regional District Box 800 Sechelt, B.C. VON3AO 885-2261 (Mrs.) A. G.PressJey Secretary-Treasurer y Pender Harbour Ratepayers Coast News, October 11,1977. 15. by the Pender Harbour & District Ratepayers' Association Publicity Committee. A planning committee has been hard at work for months in Pender Harbour trying to formulate a statement of values for their community. It is our judgement that this plan is of, limited scope and sadly non-specific in defining the goals and aspirations of the resident population. The representative on the committee is one example of the limitations of this plan. At present, Irvine's Landing and Madeira Park have no representation. Kleindale has four, Garden Bay has one, Francis Peninsula has two and Egmont has ono (an observer only). The representation does not take into account the million-dollar- plus fishing industry nor the logging industry. As a water-based community whose world centres on its harbours, it seems strange that the fishing interests are not represented and this lack is obvious in \"the plan as it is presently drawn up. Nowhere does the plan attempt to deal'with fishing industry requirements beyond the most cursory mention and what mention there is is vague and of little use in determining future policy. . jhe most distressing aspect of this plan is how little research has gone toward formulating policy. Numerous communities along the coast and in the interior of the province have brought out community plans. None of these have been made available to this committee. This is pot to suggest that this community should arbitrarily copy other's plans,, rather, that we could learn from other's mistakes and triumphs. .Bowen Island is a case in point. Affer a\" year of bickering and exhausting a number of planners the community finally began to take seriously what they were dojng. They held local elections in.', each geographical area in order that their committee represent the aspirations and ideals of .their island. In Pender Harbour the planning committee was arbitrarily appointed by Regional Director, ./Jack Paterson, _with little^a'tfempjt at \"representation;\" Where are the fishermen? Where are the loggers? Don't they have a ,voice in where they want their community to go? This committee has accepted as.'.a fait accompli the necessity of sewers and an expanded water system for the harbour with no attempt to explain where the money will come from to build them. A sewer system would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and would do nothing to control pollution. To pay for tertiary sewage treatment is far beyond the present means of this community with its land baSe primarily bedrock. It would m��an a pipe out into Agamemnon rr 1 iTED HUME; i; ���: ��� ������ ���> \\i i > . ��� - ���: AUTHORIZED SERVICES n n i >: ��� * Essa n if ��� >: Home j Equipment | Dealer ���'.'*��� ��� * FURNACES \\lHOTWA TER HEA TERS \\ i > ��� i* ��� I > HUMIDIFIERS I I?

Development must be controlled. Not just the small developer who attempts to subdivide a few lots each year but the large developers from outside who come here to bring in hundreds of new lots with no attempt to come to terms with this community, its heritage, and its future. Our young people leave here as soon as their schooling is finished. The business community is almost bankrupt due to the lack of supportive industry. We are becoming a residential subdivision of Sechelt and Gibsons and in a larger sense of the Greater Vancouver area. Is this where we want to go? Even small cottage industry is being discouraged by zoning by-laws. The only industry we will have left is that of tourism with its follow-up of pollution and insensitive outsiders. When this plan is completed it will be sent to Victoria to be proclaimed The Official Community Plan for Area 'A'. This then will be the official guideline for all future development. Unless we get a plan with specific proposals we will be placing very great discretionary power in the hands of the Regional Board. The official plan will take the present power out of the hands of the Department of Highways who presently make all decisions on subdivision and place it in the hands of the Board. This brings the decisionmaking closer to home and as such is a step in the right direction. But power can be easily abused by small-time bureaucrats as big-time ones however and we must take care to assure that the Regional Board's new powers over our zoning is proper- ly safeguarded and qualified. The Regional planner's apparent desire to rush this plan through suggests the Regional District does not share this caution but where is the bureaucrat who thinks his own' discretionary power should be limited? The present plan does little to develop criteria and guidelines for our future. There is no sewage disposal policy, there is no water policy, there is no transportation policy, there is no fire protection policy, there is -v^o social services resource policy, there is no pollution policy; in other words the most important policies are lacking! With no money and no true representation this plan is of no use and in the future when we complain that our harbour and community are not what we might have wished then we will have no one to blame but ourselves. The Regional Planner, Paul Moritz, wishes this plan to be pushed through in order, \"that we control as soon as possible uncontrolled development\". His words are correct. It must be done soon. But how can it be controlled without a strong, specific, representative plan? This column is not bent on criticizing the work of the committee itself. With what they had to work. with they have valiantly struggled to get where they are now. But it is essential that a cautious approach be taken in the formulation of this plan. A very generalized plan does nothing for the community. It is of interest that no money has been made available to this committee. The Assistant Planner, Paul Moritz, was asked at the October meeting of the planning committee why the Regional Board, who control the tax base of this area did not make available monies to do primary surveys and to bring in a few experts to speak. The answer was simple. They did not think it necessary and therefore did not budget for it. The planner was then asked if money could be made available and the answer was: \"Yes, it could be budgeted if the Regional Board thought fit.\" In response to the question that, \"If money were made available wouldn't it then follow that a better plan could be drawn up?\" his answer was: \"If we wanted a real tip-top planning job, yes.\" We responded: \"Are you suggesting we should accept less than a tip-top job?\" and the answer was: \"Under the circumstances, yes.\" Less than tip-top? Is that what this community wants? Canoe Pass Condominium Important news for the Canoe Pass condominium watchers: the Regional District has set the public hearing for Sunday October 23rd, at the community hall. This hearing represents the last chance for anyone hoping to forestall or alter the project and it is essential that opposition prepare as strong a case as possible. To this end an organi zational meeting of all parties opposing the project has been set for Sunday, October 16th at 2:00 p.m. in the Pender Harbour Medical Clinic. Regional director Jack Paterson has agreed to be present to answer questions and give advice. If you are concerned about condominiums at Canoe Pass or anywhere else in Area 'A', be there! South Pender Harbour water expansion During the last two years the South Pender Harbour Water Board has undertaken an expansion programme in order to insure that the district be supplied with an adequate water supply. This programme has involved the clearing of a considerable area around the perimeter of McNeill Lake, the storage reservoir. With the raising of the original dam height another three feet, it has been possible to flood this cleared area thus increasing our water storage capacity very considerably. As a consequence, however, of this clearing and flooding, the quality of the water has been temporarily affected. The board wishes to correct this situation. Now that the fall, and winter rainy season approaches, when danger of water shortage has diminished your Water Board is addressing itself to the task of improving the quality ofthe water and has set into motion \"Operation Cleanup\". During the last two weekends your board members, maintenance crew, and several private citizens have fertilized and seed ed to grass a five-acre area around the lake as well as clearing and burning considerable snags and roots along the lake margin. Much remains to be done, and we are holding our next \"cleanup\" on Sunday, October 18th. The board would welcome volunteers, both young and old, who would be available and willing to help at that time. We need power saw operators, axemen, and just plain \"cleaner-uppers\". The rendezvous is at 9 a.m. Sunday, October o'clock 16th at the Water Board intake and chlorinating plant, situated just by the Pender Harbour area directory map on the Highway. Come and bring your lunch for a nice day at the lake! For- further information you can call Eric Brooks, 883-2547 or Bill McNaughton 883-2267, or Doug Orr at the Water Board office on weekdays at 883-2511.

Thieves hit newcomers Thieves stole twelve brass portholes and ten mahogany bunks from a ship tied at Christie Cove near Port Mellon last week. The ship was a 143 foot ex-whale spotter purchased by Mr. Car- naby who intends to convert it into a pleasure boat. Part of the conversion would have been to remove the bunks carefully and perhaps reuse them, the thieves had carelessly ripped them out. This is a grave disapointment to the Carnabys as it sets their plans back considerably. What is doubly disconcerting is the fact that the boat had been brought up to the Sound only three days previously. REWARD A substantial reward is available for information leading to the conviction of persons responsible for theft of brass portholes and destruction and theft of mahogany cabin furniture from my ship- Strict confidence assured.

Law Talk by Gordon Hardy Environmental Law Number 3 in a series of five. A man's home is not always his castle. Sometimes your rights as a property owner are just not powerful enough to protect your property from damage by pollution. A good example is the McKee vs KVP Company case which reached the courts in 1948. The case involved riparian, or water rights. McKee was an Ontarion tourist camp operator, and he and his neighbours depended for their livelihood on the good fishing and clean water of a stream which ran through their property. Their livelihood was threatened when the KVP Company, a pulp and paper company upstream began to pollute the stream. The fish began dying. The water became undrink- able. ���������'���': 7. McKee and friends took the pulp and paper-company to court, arguing that the common law should 'protect their right to enjoyr their own property. The judge, looking at the precedents, agreed and forbade the company from continuing to pollute the stream. Unfortunately the judges decision shut the company down, in effect, since it couldn't operate without fouling the stream. A nearby town, dependent on the company for jobs, was in crisis. Finally, the Ontario government intervened, setting aside the common law decision of the judge with a piece of legislation. Usually, however, judges are less scrupulously concerned about -the private citizen's interests. They often take into consideration the interests of the public at large as well. Recently, a judge had to decide between a man who complained that a nearby gravel pit was disturbing his right to peace and quiet on his own land, and the community for whom the gravel put meant jobs and money. The judge ruled that the gravel pit had to remain shut down during the night and the man had to put up with the nuisance during the day. Thus, he found a compromise between the citizen's common law property rights and the public interest. This tendency to compromise away the rights of individuals has come under attack. Vancouver lawyer Tim Mackenzie claims that, in general, \"The courts are bound by tradition and training to place a value on everything according to the rules ot\" the marketplace. They rarely recognize the losses caused by a worsening in the quality of living as a result of the spoiling ofthe environment.\" Mackenzie adds. \"They have difficulty balancing the loss of recreational areas, impairment of health, and unpleasant changes in lifestyles against the employment- creating and income-generating benefits, so-called, of an industrial society.\" Aside from environmental damage to private property, pollution is caused because environmental considerations generally take a back seat to short term economic advantages. As the West Coast Environmental Law Associa tion tersely puts it, \"The present system tries to measure environmental quality in terms of dollars and cents.\" A report of the association claims that, \"It is a common argument that short term benefits such as jobs and profits must outweight environmental considerations that yield no tangible financial benefits.... \"The majority of political leaders campaign on the basis of more jobs, more industry. more growth,\" often ignoring the social and environmental costs of technical expansion. Concern for the environment seems to be making some headway in the B.C. labour movement. Earlier this year the B.C. Federation of Labour asked the provincial government to halt or postpone three big development projects worth thousands of jobs for the sake of environmental protection. In a brief submitted to the government by the federation's pollution and environmental protection committee, James Patterson writes, \"Everywhere we look in B.C. there are signs of serious environmental damage which has occurred in the past dozen years.\" The brief, hotly contested even within the labour movement, calls for the postponement or cancellation of the Kitimat oil pipeline, citing the possibility of immense environmental damage. The federation also wants the government to stop the planned diversion of the McGregor River near Prince George, and strip mining in the East Kootenay s. While it says it recognizes the value of the mining industry the labour federation claims there is often a conflict of interest between profits and the environment. Still for sortie within the labour movement, it's economy over ecology. Clifton Parker, a representative of the International Union of Operating Engineers reacted angrily to the federation's call. \"% \"The workingman of B.C. is entitled to better leadership,\" says Parker, whose union is \"fighting for jobs on every front.\" Parker wants the B.C. Federation of Labour, \"to stop this environmental' type of publicity...\" \"We don't want it and we don't condone it.\" CO/nmERciaLl You can be certain you can't buy better printing...you can only pay more money. ft printed envelopes ft business cards ft letterheads 6-2622 6-7817 ft brochures ft booklets ft raffle tickets ft admission & membership cards NO JOB TOO LARGE OR SMALL Call us on your next printing job and join the StASr V|VC . list of satisfied customers. * TIRED OF PAINTING?

Council for the family with the participation of the provincial government, religious bodies and community agencies and the proclomation and celebration of family month in May There were more than ninety other recommendations concerning education, housing, health, law, religion, family life, native peoples, work, leisure, etc., all of which were referred to the Council for action. Father T. A. Nicholson of Sechelt attended that conference on behalf of the Ministerial Association and went on to organize the family month activities on the Sunshine Coast in May of this year. From that has developed a local committee of the B.C. Council for the Family with the aim of restoring the prestige of the family as an essential unit of a healthy community. The committee met in September to discuss ways to focus an awareness of the importance of the family to the community, to encourage in children that pride in family from which pride in their community grows. The October meeting addressed itself to one of those suggestions, an essay contest open to both school children and the community at large and a request for elementary school children to participate in a poster campaign to illustrate family fun. \"Are families important?\" was the suggested essay topic, and prizes will be something which the family can enjoy together, an occasion to celebrate on the Sunshine Coast. A letter was prepared to ask the School Board's permission to present these ideas to the teachers Susan Frizzell of the Wilson Creek Community Association will attend the board meeting of the B.C. Council for the Family on October 20 - 21 in Vancouver. The committee would welcome representation from other groups and individuals, particuarly with a view to reaching communities west of Sechelt.
