His new position will be ratified at the Liberal convention October 30 and 31 in Richmond. Wilson told the Coast News that his first order of business would be to appoint a caucus to advise him on issues of paramount importance. These include: labour, small business development, education, health and social services, energy, environment and regional development. Although there are no seats held by the Liberal Party in the current legislative assembly, Wilson said there are six ridings in the province where there is strong Liberal support, and he plans to spend a lot of energy securing these ridings for the next election. Wilson is a relative newcomer to the political scene, first running and winning the office of regional director in 1985. Immediately after that he announced that he would stand for election under the Liberal banner in the provincial race. Although he came in third after Harold Long and veteran NDP candidate Dock Lockstead in 1986, Wilson is optimistic about his chances next time around. \"It is my intention, at the moment, to seek election in this riding again. I hope in the next few years to earn the trust and support of the people in this area,\" he said. Gibsons favours Vancouver tie The Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, the Right Honourable Paias Wingti, along with other Papua New Guinea dignitaries enjoy the hospitality of the Sechelt Indian Band. Salmon is being barbequed in the traditional manner. Prime Minister Wingti (fifth from right), Ross Dixon (fourth from right), Chief Tom Paul (far right). ���Ken Collins photo Head off State visits Sechelts Papuan Prime Minister -here by Ken Collins Chief Tom Paul of the Sechelt Indian Band stepped comfortably into the world of international politics two Sundays ago when the prime minister of Papua New Guinea, the Right Honourable Paias Wingti, paid a visit to the Sechelt Band. He was accompanied by the Honourable Yaungtine Koromba, premier of Southern Highlands Provincial Government, and several staff and cabinet ministers. There were 11 Papua New Guinea representatives in all as well as Daniel George, First Secretary, Canadian High Commission to PNG and Australia, and Brian R. Gates, Liaison Officer for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. It all began on the Grouse Mountain Skyride. Prime Minister Wingti stated he would like to visit some Native Indians. Dan George and Brian Gates said they would arrange it and Wingti cancelled the work meetings for the afternoon. Papau New Guinea did not achieve independence until September 16, 1975 and now, like Canada, has a Constitutional Monarchy with a Governor General, a National Legislature, and is divided into provinces. Until then, its history was also similar with perhaps one significant difference. Although it was occupied for periods of time by foreigners, it was never heavily settled by them. Consequently, when the country achieved independence, the indigenous people of that country gained state power. Back at Sechelt, the RCMP received a phone call asking if Prime Minister Wingti could meet with the Band. Carl Dixon, a member both of the Band and the RCMP, was sent to find the chief. A few hours later history was made. Never before in the memories of the Sechelts had a Head of State ever visited them. When Prime Minister Wingti first saw Carl Dixon in his RCMP uniform he asked Chief Paul, \"Do you have your own police force?\" This was the start of a long session held in the Band Council Chambers. \"Do you still have a tribal system? Do you still practise the old ways? What kind of a constitution do you have?\" were some of the questions. Copies of the Band Constitution, Bill C-93, and the Indian Act were given out to illustrate the degree of progress made toward independence. Outside the Band Office the drivers and uniformed RCMP waited patiently. Overbuilt men in tight suits with awkward bulges, wearing earphones and talking into their lapels wandered in and out. These security men with their hawk-like, darting eyes continually scanning the perimeter were an indication that something of significance was happening. The discussions would have gone on longer, but the last ferry, to Horseshoe Bay was departing at 8:30. Before leaving the Band Lands, Carl Dixon led the seven car cavalcade on a tour. As they passed Chief Paul's father's house, the chief said to the prime minister, \"There's our native people smoking and barbecuing salmon.\" Wingti was out of the car in a minute and striding across the yard toward the fire. His entourage and security fanned out behind him. Several large salmon were staked out in the traditional style for cooking and on a table nearby was a large plastic tub filled with salmon ready for the smokehouse. Next door live Doreen and Ross Dixon. Ross came over with a large jar of smoked salmon which he presented to the visiting prime minister. After opening and tasting it, Wingti called everyone over to sample the coastal delicacy. Please turn to page 4 Responding to the Sunshine Coast Regional District Board's call for the Sunshine Coast to be moved into Region One, Gibsons Mayor Diane Strom said, \"I was a little shocked there was not a meeting with the three bodies before a decision was made.\" Alderman Bob Maxwell said, \"Our lifeline is right across the bay,\" and Alderman Norm Peterson saw Region Two, linking the Sunshine Coast with Greater..,Vancouver and the Tower Mainland, as not being a bad proposition. Peterson said the regional board fears industry brought to this area as a result of being in Region Two may not be the industry we want. But he personally feels that there are millions being spent which the Long to link with MLA Harold Long is attempting to persuade the premier to include the Sunshine Coast in Region One, with Vancouver Island and Powell River, he told the Coast News last week. His efforts are being supported by the Minister of State for that region, Stan Hagen. Hagen attended the ribbon cutting ceremony of the new Capilano College Campus in Sechelt on Friday, and told the assembled guests that he, too, has been discussing this issue with Premier Vander Zalm. The premier's recent an- Coast has no control over. \"We may not want them but they're coming anyway.\" As for Powell River, he says, \"I didn't see them helping the Sunshine Coast with development benefits. They are a commercially industrial town area,\" and because he feels the Coast isn't geared so much towards big industry, \"I think we'll get more from Region Two.\" Alderman Lilian Kunstler said she would prefer to stay in Region Two as well, but Alder- marTGerry Dixon was'the only one who came out in favour of the SCRD's desire to move regions. Dixon sums up the disagreement over placements in regions throughout the province as, \"A problem that's going to happen in all eight areas.\" push for Island nouncement of Development Regions has the Sunshine Coast included in Region Two with the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. The Sunshine Coast Regional District was quick to protest that division, as did Powell River Mayor Colin Palmer. However Sechelt's mayor, Bud Koch told the Coast News, \"The Regional Board must be careful not to speak for the municipalities.\" Both he and Gibsons Mayor Diane Strom are happy to be included in Region Two. Gibsons chooses Cut-cost breakwater study by Joel Johnstone Looking for research at bargain prices the Town of Gibsons Planning Committee has opted for a limited version of a breakwater study. Following a recommendation by Trevor Peach, vice-president of Taylor Peach and Associates, Planner Rob Buchan presented the committee with an offer of a scaled down version of the study which initially was quoted at $10,000. ��� The letter from Peach states: \"In order to get things moving, it might be more appropriate to undertake a somewhat more limited study than that which I outlined to you.\" : Buchan said it may be just as well to go for the whole study because of the potential of a 60 percent refund available from the provincial government's economic development funds. : Alderman Norm Peterson urged the committee to proceed \"with the $6500 study. The committee agreed, with Mayor Diane Strom saying that with so many types of breakwaters available, the study, at $6500, would help them move their decision-making process forward. Peach also called for a part of the study to be undertaken during the month of November, \"in order to be able to include actual visual observation of wave effects during the month when the most severe storms normally occur.\" Buchan then went on to promote approval of another study. \"We've been advocating for some years a study of economic floor space...store space...whether we have a lack of of floor space.\" The committee seemed to rebuff the idea even though Buchan urged, \"This is one which could really tell us something.\" The idea would be to promote the study to the Economic Development Commission using Alderman Bob Maxwell as the messenger, but Maxwell said, \"I rather hesitate to go to the commission with this. With Sechelt opting out, we might be accused of being somewhat parochial.\" Mayor Diane Strom thought the study could be of use to the Town. \"We used to have a lot of space downtown not being used. We don't have that now but we do uptown.\" Buchan persisted, noting that independant floor space studies conducted by businesses on their own behalf were not available to the Town and, \"a study like this could have tremendous value in-house,\" and \"would be a benefit to the economic health of the whole area.\" Peterson backed that up by saying, \"A study done two years ago would be totally useless today.\" Please turn to page 6 TOe Honourable Stan Hagen cut the rioTJonat the opening of the new Secnelt Campus of Capilano Col- lege last week as Gibsons Alderman Lilian Kunstler and Sechelt Mayor Bud Koch were assisted in holding the ribbon by the Minister's wife, Judy Hagen, Chairman of the Capilano College Board Hilda Rizun, and SCRD Chairman Jim Gurney. ���Penny Fuller photo i ��� .i - -. \\ - ��� 2. Coast News, October 19,1987 r A sadness For those of us of British ancestry who have long supported the concept of the Commonwealth of Nations as an inter-racial, international and co-operative attempt to bring harmony to a portion of the world's embattled peoples, last week's Commonwealth Conference in Vancouver was saddening indeed. Not only was the arrogantly intractable British delegation led by the lady who glories in the title of the Iron Maiden out of step with the entire fellowship of nations, but the Maggie Thatcher-led Britons launched a campaign which sought to discredit the host country which was surely more in keeping with the hothouse rivalries of party politics than a meeting of equal heads of state. The South African government is the only government in the world which has institutionalized racism. Enlightened self-interest alone, if appeals to natural justice are ineffective, should be enough to lead to united opposition to it by the whites in an increasingly coloured world. An irony An intriguing spin-off to the Commonwealth Conference was the visit to Sechelt to meet a Canadian Indian Band of the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea and his entourage. The visit underlines the global importance attributed to the rights of aboriginal peoples around the world, an importance which those of us who live side by side with Canada's original inhabitants seem largely unaware of still. And is it not ironic that the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea should go out of of his way to meet the Sechelts when the mayor of the neighbouring municipality has yet to walk over to discuss the gravel extraction matter? . When are we going to learn that writing letters to Victoria about our problems is not the answer. We should be writing with united front about our solutions. SCRD finagling It was reported enthusiastically and elsewhere last week that the SCRD had switched to a weighted voting system, the move hailed as a step towards justice. The fact is the SCRD has had a weighted voting system all along, the only change is to attribute to Sechelt District Municipality the number of votes it should have gained with restructuring 16 months ago. We note also that Area C is attributed 692 residents and one vote. This number includes the Indian population though it would appear that they are destined to be a municipality in their own right and have said they will not participate in inter-governmental matters until their independence pursuit is complete. Their inclusion to justify the existence of an essentially non-existent regional district is typical of the deviousness which marks so much of regional district activity. It is noted Director Gordon Wilson intends to run again for the regional board. Perhaps he can refrain from bashing the provincial government long enough to take note of the absurdities on the body to which he is already elected. 5 YEARS AGO Sechelt Indian Band lost longtime leader Clarence Joe. Clarence's was a long and active life. He had been a respected logger, stevedor, and fisherman, and was instrumental in establishing the Indian fishermen's Assistance Programme. A larger than life image of George Gibson presided over the successful beginning of the Centennial '86 Society meeting. On the centennial of George Gibson's founding of this community, May 24, 1886, the society intends to hand over to Gibsons council the keys to \"a recreational facility addition to Gibsons Aquatic Centre.\" 10 YEARS AGO Regional board director Metzler was critical of regional board staff Wednesday, over the issue of a letter sent to the BC Land Commission. Director Metzler's criticism centred around the fact that the board's staff had not recommended the exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve of Creekside Estates. 20 YEARS AGO The latest reports of wolves being spotted in the area comes from Ernie Burnett. While hunting Sunday afternoon between Langdale and Port Mellon, Ernie saw a big wolf on a skyline rock. Mr. Burnett says he was disappointed he had a gun instead of a camera. 30 YEARS AGO A permit for an $8000 two storey building to be used as a sales and service building for Smitty's Boat Rentals was granted by Gibsons Village Commission Tuesday night. 40 YEARS AGO Teen Town held its first dance of the season in Sechelt United School on October 10.

Is the sky really a deeper blue with everything etched so bright and clear against it? Is it the knowledge that even this year there must be gathering storms out in the Pacific waiting to break through, which heightens our awareness? Our house is tucked down among trees, sheltered from the east by a rise of tall firs, so morning doesn't come with a dramatic fanfare, 'here comes the sun' as, clearing the North Shore mountains it spills golden light across the waters of Howe Sound. ' .;'.. Instead, daylight tiptoes on tabby feet, silvery light slowly vanquishing the shadows and it's about an hour after sunrise before the treetops on the west reflect the glow and warmth of another sunny day to the still waiting garden, a garden already alive with migrating robins feeding on the rowan berries. Juncos are back, black cowls, brown habits, waiting with impatient voices for me to bring their breakfast oats. An eagle is back too, stark black and white against the blue sky as he surveys the beach from a familiar vantage point. Along the beach winter residents return and migrants stop over briefly. Loons sit deep in the water again and hell divers bob to the surface like corks, two pairs of Harlequin ducks nestle together on a rock near the waters edge and a merganser family, hard to tell which is mother now, work their way along the shallows. One morning a pair of oyster catchers, foraging among the seaweed covered rocks, are joined briefly by a flock of Aleutian sandpipers. Returning from the beach it's tempting to sit on the deck soaking up those last hours of warm sunshine, but there is too much to do in the garden and those autumn chores go so much better with sunshine which is not too hot and blue skies to encourage frequent times to 'stand and stare'. So much beauty to absorb, the - work proceeds slowly. The cutleaf birch, thirty feet of straight white trunk stands like a shimmering yellow fountain against a backdrop of dark fir, flurries of tiny golden leaves flutter to the ground as the breeze passes by. The breeze, helped by a pair of squirrels persuades the horse chestnuts to drop, spilling their varnished shiny nuts from prickly green cases. A flock of evening grosbeaks works the wild cherries over for any remaining fruit among the golden leaves. An aerobatic and noisy performance is staged by four Steller's jays feasting on acorns, a kaleidoscope of brilliant colours, blue and black birds among the gold, russet and green leaves. The sea shimmers in the mid day sun like crinkled foil while the sumac glows scarlet beside the ivy covered stump, where the yellow-green flowers attract a buzzing host of wasps, bees, and flies. Then, a whisper at first, but gradually impinging on one's consciousness comes that soft murmuring from the sky and one's memory gives a leap as the sound registers, geese. You crane your neck, searching the blue, and then there they are right overhead, a loose straggling line of Canadas, talking to themselves as they keep that steady wingbeat, homing in towards the Fraser estuary to rest and feed. It's a Sight which never fails to thrill and to set one's blood racing. We may not see the sunrise over the mountains, but by this time of year we can enjoy the fiery red and orange, delicate pink, gold, azure and sometimes green of the sunset, the brilliance of the sky reflected in the calm waters of Georgia Strait. Long shafts of light penetrate'. the trees along the western: boundary of the garden, '��� spotlighting a clump of golden \\ rod, the new bark on the ar-; butus or the last blooms of; marigolds. The trunks of the : first are bathed in a red light ; and wonderful things happen as ', the blue woodsmoke from the '��� wood stove lit for the evening ��� drifts down through the trees in- \\ termingling with the sunbeams. ��� Spring and Fall: To a Young Child Margaret, are you grieving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leaves, like the things of man, you Wish your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! as the heart grows older It will come to such sights colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Though worlds of wan wood leaf meal lie; And yet you will weep and know why. Now no matter, child, the name: Sorrow's springs are the same. Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed What heart heard of, ghost guessed: It is the blight man was born for, It is Margaret you mourn for. Gerard Manley Hopkins From Another Perspective What led to arms agreement? by Peter Prongos The recent agreement in principle between the United States and the Soviet Union to eliminate all Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) is a potentially significant step towards real arms control and disarmament. The importance of the INF treaty goes beyond the actual numbers of weapons to be destroyed (about 3 per cent of the world's nuclear weapons). Its true value lies in the hope ' that it may be a first step toward substantial cuts in the nuclear arsenals. Previous treaties (Salt I and Salt II for example), merely set ceilings on how many and what kinds of new nuclear systems would be built by Washington and Moscow. Now, for the first time, the US and the USSR have agreed to actually get rid of some weapons. In addition, there now seems to be momentum and good will building up on both sides to make serious deep cuts in their bloated nuclear stockpiles. There are hints that a 50 per cent reduction in nuclear arms will be discussed at the next Gorbachev-Reagan summit. Moreover, the trust engendered by this pact should help superpower relations in general, which should lower tensions and reduce the risk of a crisis that might set off the final holocaust. Very few people would have predicted such an arms control treaty in the early years of this decade. The Soviet Union was still governed by neo-Stalinists who showed little imagination when it came to arms control. In the US, the election of Ronald Reagan, with his anti- Soviet obsession and his committment to escalating the arms race (to the tune of over $1.5 trillion dollars in five years!), offered little hope. What happened? Well, the new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who proved to be pragmatic, intelligent, and energetic, needs arms control to reduce the risk of war and to ease the drain on economy. While we still have Reagan in the saddle, he has changed his tune. This is partly because US . military spending has already succeeded in enriching the war industries, and because his ridiculous 'Star Wars' program would continue this corporate welfare to the tune of perhaps another trillion dollars. (That's why he refuses to compromise on Star Wars even in order to get a big reduction in the very Soviet missiles that it is supposed to shoot down). The other factor, at least of equal importance, has been the international peace movement. The weight of public opinion in North America and Europe for an end to the insanity of the nuclear arms race was the key political consideration which has forced Reagan to agree to the INF treaty. In a recent interview, noted US policy analyst Professor Noam Chomsky stated that, in his opinion, the peace movement's contribution was \"essential\" in creating the atmosphere in which the superpowers could reach an agreement. Yet, one looks in vain at the coverage in the mainstream media for an acknowledgement that popular pressure played a significant role in this historic development. The leaders get the praise, even when one of them (Reagan) did all he could for six years to avoid any agreement. (Indeed, the US violated the Salt II treaty and will break Salt I if it goes ahead with Star Wars). By denying to people the knowledge that popular movements can succeed, the media tend to reinforce passivity and apathy. Here in Canada, during the debate over the Charter of Rights, it was a given that women and men would get equal protection under the law. The only question was how tb7 best guarantee women's right��7 in the Constitution. This woulcj-: not have been the case ifj; Canada did not enjoy a strong^ and vigorous women's move��;! ment.

Wingti was full of questions. \"Do you \"elect your chief?\" he was heard to ask one of the children. A seagull flew by. \"Do you eat those?\" he asked Chief Paul. \"I believe some of the old people used to,\" the chief replied, \"but not anymore.\" Next were the totem poles outside the Community Hall and then over to the new housing being built on Porpoise Bay. Jamie Dixon happened to be there working on his house so everyone stopped to take a look at how houses were built in Canada. One of the aspects the visiting dignitaries found fascinating was insulation. \"There are no seasons over there,\" the prime minister told Chief Paul, \"just one hot one. all year round.\" In Papua New Guinea temperatures in the lowlands average between 75 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit (24 to 28 Celsius) and in the highlands 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius). The sun had now set over Porpoise Bay and a chill was setting in. The last ferry would be leaving soon and the security people were getting restless.

But as to how old she is \"they say I'm 92.\" It's hard for her to hear unless words are spoken very loudly. Jane Murray has the experience with Aunt Laura. It shows. Very clearly she understands what it takes to make herself understood. She is the first respite worker Aunt Laura has had. She is also the first the Sunshine Coast Home Support Society has. Murray says Aunt Laura \"is unable to live alone anymore. Right now she's waiting for an opening at Shorncliffe. Until then she can't live alone.\" But she's facing a 12 to 14 month wait. \"They figure a year before there's an opening. That's how long the waiting list is.\" Until then, Murray will be there Monday, Wednesday, and Friday \"being a companion to someone not well enough or too old to take care of themselves.\" Her job is to provide relief to families who have someone such as Aunt Laura to take care of because \"it's kind of hard on the family. It's not supervising...but being there. \"A regular homemaker comes in Monday and Thursday to change the bedding, bath her, and clean the house,\" she explains. Homemakers are another aspect of services provided to the elderly convalescing in homes outside caring institutions like Shorncliffe \"A respite worker is more a companion role.\" Because she and the Home Support Society believe the need for such relief exists, the Respite Worker Program came to the Coast. \"Officially,\" Murray says, \"the program started October first but out of necessity I started in the middle of September,\" because Aunt Laura is living with family who need time for themselves to work, or shop, or do things they wouldn't otherwise get the chance to do if they were charged with the responsibilities of giving fulltime care. \"Other parts of the province have respite workers in Home Support Programs and, like Meals on Wheels and Adult Day Care, we all go under the umbrella of the Home Support Society.\" Right now Murray is the sole respite worker, but \"there's not great demand because the program isn't quite on its feet yet. I'm sure Home Support Week will certainly help attract people\" Co-ordinated Knit Wear For that CUSTOM DESIGN LOOK /ABBEY / WINDOW 'COVERINGS Mini Blinds Hundreds of fashion-rich colours to choose from 40% Custom Drapery & Bedspread Fabric^ Pre-Packaged HALLOWE'EN GOODIES Caring and companionship for Aunt Laura is now Jane Murray's job as a respite worker for the Sunshine Coast Home Support Society. ���Joel Johnstone photo 25 or 50 Individual Treats �� SERVICE 7':. ���: 885,9316 . 5674 CQWHfe.St^.Seqroelt\" Coast News, October 19,1987 if^lWiCsii^feSli by Jeanie Parker, 885-2163 u . t> ��� October is flying by and it's time to get a costume ready for Hallowe'en. Last I heard, there's a dance at the Community Hall on October 31, and Terry the Music Man will be at the Roberts Creek Legion.

MEAT DRAWS The Roberts Creek Legion Ladies Auxiliary is starting their weekly meat draws this Saturday, October 24. An early bird draw will be held at 3 pm and the main draw is at 5 pm. DECEMBER CRAFTS There have been inquiries about the Roberts Creek Craft Fair. It has tentatively been set for Sunday, December 6, but no plans have been made so watch this column for further details. NO MEETING There will NOT be a Community Association meeting this month. MONDAY BADMINTON Pat Scarr's badminton classes start next Monday, October 26, in the gym at Roberts Creek Elementary. There's instruction for the first hour and then a good chance to get some exercise playing the game. The course is $16 for eight sessions from 7:30 to 9:30 Monday evenings. Bring your own birdies, racquet, and running shoes and please pre-register with Continuing Education at 886-8841. Teens are welcome. BAKE SALE The Saint Aidan's Anglican Church Women are holding a bake sale on Saturday, November 7 at the church hall. There's no entry fee but coffee, muffins, tea and scones will be available. Regal cards will be on sale and there's a raffle for a Christmas cake, Christmas pudding, and Scottish shortbread. The sale starts at 11 am so make a note to come early and help support this small but dedicated group of ladies. BACK FOR CALLS Yes, I'm back from holidays although I think my brain is still on leave. It was good to get away and see new sights: I must return to the Olympic Peninsula to spend more time; the Oregon Coast was even more impressive than usual with the smoke from the devastating forest fires enhancing the sunsets. San Francisco was hot, hot, hot (102 degrees Fahrenheit!), but the Napa Valley wineries were cool and refreshing. We didn't feel the earthquake in Los Angeles but we sure heard about it. We lost a moderate amount in Reno and were fascinated by all the volcanic formations in central Oregon. The roadsides in Washington were a sight for sore eyes after the litter of non-refundable beer cans in Calfornia and I kicked myself for not buying a turkey at 69 cents per pound. But the Sunshine Coast is still one of the prettiest places around and it's good to be back in time to enjoy our beautiful fall weather although everybody seems to have a cold or the flu.

For one thing it is now named simply the Commonwealth. Do you know where the republics of Kiribati, Nauru, Vanuatu are? The kingdoms of Tuvalu or Lesotho? The others of the 49 countries, if Fiji is still a member, you will of course know. What was that about US folk knowing very little about Canada? Since a declared principle of the Commonwealth is international peace and order, and a fairer global society, its geography and cultures and its common bond of the English language, can provide ready- made material for new peace studies which our school board has proposed. Each small state booth in the Exposition showed some samples of products our fellow Commonwealthers are eager to sell us. And leaflets extolling their attractions for the Canadian tourist. The large man from Western Samoa said, \"Take a holiday with us and you won't want to go home.\" \"Why Western?\" \"The Eastern islands of Samoa are American,\" said he, \"and there's quite an American influence in our country.\" \"In yours, too, eh?\" The man from Malta said their Maltese language originated in North Africa. \"Everyone speaks it, and English.\" A leaflet extolling the beaches and crystal waters of Maldives warns, \"Do not attempt to offer alcohol to our nationals.\" And, \"Nudity is offensive to our traditions, and please do not go nude on the beaches or in the water. On the inhabited? islands please note the minimum dress requirements.\" There it is, plain and straight, how to behave in Maldives. Good for them. A Commonwealth newsletter of August this year tells this to the Small States exhibitors, \"Canada with its high personal ^ incomes and strong economy is.,/ an important importer, investor, and source of tourists, and for many small countries still an under-exploited market.\" Here's a catalogue of products to read as fast as you can to your grandchildren, or somebody's grandchildren: \"Jams, jellies, preserves and pepper sauce; dried salted fish, shark fins, sea cucumbers, and ambergris; desiccated coconut, carambola juice; shoes, sandals, and boots; tapestries, rugs and woollen teddy bears; mats, hats, fans and swords from Kiribati; kava drink, dried bananas, beef and mutton; pigskin coats, ginger beer, and golden rums, Home Support Society facts 1. The main objective of the Sunshine Coast Home Suppdrt Society is to provide programs that enable persons to live in their own homes and maintain a desirable and realistic standard of independent living. 2. The Home Support Service began as a volunteer program in the 1960's and was known as Homemaker Service. In 1974, the Homemaker Service joined the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society, where it remained until February 1987. In 1978 the provincial government established the Long Term Care program, with the belief that most elderly, ill, and disabled persons want to stay in their homes and want to have as much control over their own lives as possible. Another important reason for establishing this program is that it is a decided cost advantage to the taxpayer to maintain persons in their own homes. In 1978, the Long Term Care program assumed responsibility for the homemaker programs in the province. In 1986, the Homemaker Service changed its name to Home Support Services and home- makers are now called Home Support Workers. On February 1, 1987, the Sunshine Coast Home Support Society was established as an independent non-profit organization. Although we are no longer a part of the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society, we are most supportive of each other. To be continued falernum, brandy and ouzo. And IKEA furniture from Botswana?\" Note: M. West, add that 'desiccated' to your spelling list. Note: ambergris - whale droppings or floatings. Makes wonderful base for perfumes. And to turn from the somewhat exotic perspectives the Exposition presented us to a few notes on big sister province, Ontario. Announced in the Toronto airport, \"This is the final, final call for the flight to Fredericton.\" Yet no one in the waiting room responded. Everyone was going to Vancouver. In Waterford each year a young lady is selected the Tobacco Queen. A high school teacher told me the school hardly gets started the first two weeks of fall term. \"The students are picking tobacco.\" \"You have posters of the dangers of drinking and driving. Any on the hazards of tobacco use?\" \"That's a taboo subject in this school.\" \"There are no crops to substitute for tobacco that pay as well - $1000 an acre,\" said a resident. \"How about peanuts?\" said I having just read an account of experiments in growing them, them. \"At $100 an acre, that's peanuts.\" Nearby the fields of red tomatoes, cauliflower, peppers. And plots of enormous pumpkins. A food basket for the whole country. \"The tomato growers have to rush their 15-ton loads to the processor night and day this time of the season before the plant has to switch over to another vegetable crop. Anxious times.\" And 60 percent of Canada's population lives in this Ontario region and the regions along the St. Lawrance in Quebec. Humourous road directive signs, too. Instead of 'Merge' which we pompously use, they have 'Squeeze left'. It would be no surprise if a sign further on said, 'And squeeze left again, honey'. OPEN 10 am to 5 pm NEW LOCATION 277 Gower Pt.

The place was Greentree Village Community Centre in Burnaby and making the knot secure was Mr. J. Embree, Justice of the Peace. The bride was stunning in her white dress with black accents with a swirling skirt from a dropped waist. The groom wore a white jacket and black pants. Touches of blush pink in Peter's tie, the candles and flowers gave that just right added colour. Wendy is the daughter of Ivan and Katherine Hunt of Burnaby, Peter's family is in England. Standing up for Wendy was her sister Melanie Perkins from Parkdale and best man was her husband Wayne Perkins. Those present thrilled to the singing of Whispering Hope by Signe Murgatroyd accompanied by Ken Dalgleish, as well as several other numbers. Absent friends were toasted so even if someone wasn't there, they were not forgotten. Wendy declared she had such incredible help from fellow workers and friends. Lillo Buchhorn, personnel head at St. Mary's Hospital and an avid gardener, supplied many bouquets from her own garden. Michelle Chapman, dietitian, organized the delicious food. Linda Simeon was a fantastic help and John recorded the whole afternoon on video and making sure all angles were covered, Andy Buhler had his video camera too. A special treat from the daughter of Wendy's cousin, Shanna Brozer, who performed in full regalia, a very traditional sword dance. She has been a winner in many competitions and it was a thrill for the company. Guests were there from Parkdale, Oregon, Utah, the Okanagan, Victoria and the Sunshine Coast.

LOTTERY TICKETS For those of you who still have Seniors Lottery Tickets to send in, please make your cheque out to 'Sechelt Seniors Branch 69' and bring to our hall. In this manner, the Branch sends one cheque to Seniors Lottery prior to the Early Bird draw, and for this service the Lottery is saved a lot of bookkeeping and our Branch benefits by one-third of the total dollar value collected. RAFFLES The Branch is indebted to Jean Sherlock and Dorothy Bracewell for oganizing two separate raffles, to be drawn at our Bazaar on November 28. Both have good prizes and proceeds, of course, go to the building fund. Where possible, members and non-members alike are requested to participate for this worthy cause. MAINTENANCE When the need arises, the answer is provided! Last week Ed and Margo Matthews, Ted Farewell, Lola Caldwell and Betty Calli teamed up to bring daylight out of darkness. They cleaned the windows of the entire hall, they're small, and no easy task. Voluntary participation is much appreciated by the Branch. The next step to be taken is inside the hall.

By the way, it was forcefully pointed out to me that 2 cups of breadcrumbs will not make it onto a sheet of filo pastry.

NEST LEWIS Iteiri by itfe^ Coast News, October 19,1987 IPPIII lil.l)liniMPMaMMM��iaillli their ability to so thoroughly Shelve into their own psyches, j#iat Scorpios may be almost totally different people at different times of their lives. This ,t;s especially true of those who ��^re living in the present age. \\ In November 1983, Pluto gloved into Scorpio. Since then rlt has been moving over the Sun positions of those born from Ibctober 24th through i|fovember 3rd. While those of $ou with a birthday during that |ime may be feeling as if you've Ipeen on vacation in the 'pits of jHelP, it's time now to emerge Into the light of day. fr The problem is that you can 'get lost down there, and I strongly urge you to overcome your own strong need for |ecrecy and let someone help $ou out. It could be some kind of therapist, a trustworthy friend or your spouse, but start talking and sharing some of those internal twists and turns with someone. If you were born between November 4th and 8th, the next two years will see you going through major changes. Don't be afraid to open up to those who love you. Noone can take away your power to control your own life. Sharing can make it easier. them immediately to life. One such is Alec McPhee of Telegraph Creek: \"Alec McPhee is a shorter, more ebullient man. He has blue eyes, yellow-silver hair and a red toothless mouth. He scrunches over his crossed knees like a boy, sniffs a breath in through his nose, and stares boldly out the window to see who's going to be coming past next. When he speaks he shakes his head and his whole body shivers delightedly, because everything that he finds to say amazes and amuses him. He was the town's gravedigger; he was the carpenter and electrician; he was the powderman on the public works crew whose job was clearing the river of snags. So he's a fortunate man, he says, never to have blown himself up or to have caught a fever from a corpse...never having married, he has an uncared- for, jumpy air that brings him cookies and stews from the widow next door and the nurse down the street. He's an ir- resistably blithe man, an urchinlike man...\" Characters like Alec, unforgettably etched, shuffle from the pages of Hoagland's book in a grizzled parade, stoic, vital, humourous, one-of-a-kind men who have called this sprawling country home for most of their lives. They speak of it intimately, lovingly, as a man speaks of a special woman. They know its mountains, forests and rivers like the backs of their veined and callused hands. Most of them will die here. Notes From the Century Before is a haunting, delightful, evocative book that almost defies classification. For sheer picturesque charm, it ranks with> William Least Heat Moon's classic of the American Road, Blue Highways.
