He stressed that the Marina must be self- sufficient which would include the cost of land already acquired. One of the reasons for the location of the Marina in the Bay, according to Morrow was the fact that one parking space for every two boats was a requirement and there was no land available for parking in the vicinity of the present Village proper, complete with male support.

Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation called with a list of In the meantime...not to worry! questions which were presented to Council by Nel Jager, some of which were as follows: 1. Why was approval given in 1977 which has led to the ���..',.. present fiasco? 2. Why, even after percolation test problems appeared, was approval given for two more lots? 3. Why were driveways allowed over drain fields? ' 4. Why were lots too. small for drain fields given approval? Pretty tough for a group who is as deeply involved as this one to answer questions for which they are looking for answers. And so it goes.This worried but very patient group should be complimented on the presentation of their problems and Nel Jager for her role as spokesperson for the group. Her points were clear and well made, supported by. pictures of the problem areas. As each one told their story, there was no hysteria nor fiery speeches. But a deep concern and frustration was clearly evident. They have been very patient up to this point. Village Council has also been very patient and as deeply concerned for their citizens. They are in the unenviable position of being between the Health Department!!, inaction in this case, the developed problems, and the deplorable conditions*under which some of their taxpayers must exist. As Nel Jager stated after summing up their problems, "If nothing is done, and soon, we are prepared to go much, much higher up the political ladder for action!" There is no doubt in the world that this is a very determined group and they know where their next action lies. Council has instructed Village Clerk Malcolm Shanks to set up a meet with all parties involved. The decks are now cleared for action and if a special meeting is required, so be it! The 'bubble' is about to burst'! The next scene should bring on "The Big Flush!" . Election update Mayoralty candidate Bud Koch has dropped out of the race for Mayor of Sechlet. Koch's candidacy was found to be invalid because Ms name was not on the voters' list. This leaves incumbent Mayor Harold Nelson and Merv Boucher, in a head-to-head confrontation for the top spot on the Sechelt' Council. In Gibsons, incumbent Mayor Lorne Blain Is still involved in a three-way fight with Aldermen Lorraine Goddard and Jack Marshall as he seeks a second term. Only one seat Is being contested in this year's Regional Board election, that of incumbent Charles Lee of Area C, Ed Nicholson of Sunshine Coasl T.V. Is challenging Lee, Other Regional Directors being returned by acclamation are Joe Harrison in Area A, Chairman Ed Nicholson of Area B, and Jim Gurney, a new Director for Area E replacing the retiring George Gibb. Government Wharf. He said that the condition of the crowding at the Government Wharf was a matter of serious concern to the Small Craft Harbours Branch of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and that thc Branch was reluctant to provide recreational moorage at the Government Wharf because of their responsibility to commercial vessels which. were already enduring conditions of tremendous crowding in the present facilities. Morrow made reference to a feasibility study done by P Eby and Associates of the Marina project and underlined the fact that Eby had been recommended to them by the Small Crafts Harbours Branch. Thc Federal Government would provide, if the project were approved, the cost of dredging the Bay and building a floating breakwater, which would a- mount to approximately 50% of the cost of the Marina. Provincial help, which seemed likely, could realize between $600,000 and $900,000. Morrow said that the Village could realize the monies by borrowing. The Eby Report is unqualified in its assessment of the Marina project as being economically feasible and necessary Ray Skelly enters the House of Commons to vote on last week's non-confidence motion against the Clark government.

Glenn Phillips, secretary of the Sechelt Arena Board, addresses a meeting held in the Arena last week to discuss the upcoming referendum which will decide whether Areas BanHn""hBln"inn"rt,hBArftn at St. Mary's Hospital, which may have been inferred by the news releases by local papers. St Mary's is a hospital of which every area resident and hospital employee can be proud. Its quality of patient care is acknowledged by thc fact that St. Mary's Hospital is the recipient of a current three year medical accreditation; an accomplishment which only 23% of comparable hospitals in Canada were able to achieve. This is the result of a concerned Board ol Trustees, a competent and dedicated hospital health team. The residents of the area may res; assured that the administrative and policy procedures developed over the years provide the proper and acceptable employee standards arc maintained to ensure a high degree of quality and compassionate patient care. Mr. G. Hall, Chairman, Board of Trustees, St. Mary's Hospital. for the Gibsons Harbour. Messrs. Amiel and Morrow of the Marina Standing Committee devoted some time to directly answering questions raised and circulated by an opposition group calling itself thc Taxpayers for a Realistic Approach to Progress. In response to a statement that tax money should be spent on improving the Government Wharf, the Committee pointed out that Gibsons had worked its way to the head ofa list for Government help and if the Marina referendum failed the money available would not be re-channelled to another Gibsons' project but would go to another community. Speaking from the floor, Gibsons' resident Ian MacKenzie said that hc detected a special interest group in opposition to the project and that all who spoke against thc project were waterfront residents on the Bay. "It is very necessary that we have this Marina," said MacKenzie. "Wc give our children a ticket of exile along with their graduation certificates. It should not only be rich retirees who can live here." On behalf of commercial fishermen, aldermanic candidate Diane Strom said that thc commercial fishermen were pleased with the work that the Marina Committee has done. "We want to get the Government Wharf back to being for commercial fishermen." In Gibsons Cooper At Council Airport Importance: Reporting as Chairman of the Airport Committee, Alderman Trainor pointed out that in time there will be a gold mine in revenues for the two Villages to share as the airport use develops. He added, "After attending a seminar in Nanaimo in the early summer along with Alderman MacDonald of Sechelt, 1 have felt a growing alarm over the great possibility of lawsuits the Villages could face over the hazards that are there now. We need to take steps to protect ourselves now; for example in the matter of Highland Helicopter's stockpiling of the aviation fuel practically on the runway. The hazards of this unfenced store of 45 gal drums put there without so much as a by-your-leave Irom the helicopter company, is a matter of the highest priority, I am convinced." Alderman Trainor then referred to a letter from Sechelt Village which said in part, "Alderman L. MacDonald noted that the Village of Gibsons had placed a much higher priority on the operation of the airport than has the Village of Sechelt. Ihe Chairman of the Airport Committee felt the clerk was spending sufficient time on airport matters and that if meVillage of Gibsons felt there was some urgency concerning the airport that they allot some of Mr. Copland's time to assist Mr. Shanks." Sechelt has just begun its five yeartcrm of administration of the airport by its clerk, the last five having been administered by Gibsons' clerk. "We must get together and get our .views on the airport clarified," said Mayor Blain, "and not get into a paper war of letters. I will be seeing them this week wherj officials from Victoria inspect the airport for further blacktopping needs," said Trainor. Cavalcade Damages: The Village office continues to press the claim for damages in the Cavalcade dynamite caper through its broker, Black, Gavin and Company. The broker has requested Council not to make its proposed appeal at this time to the Minister, Grace McCarthy, until he can present the case again to I.C.B.C. The brokers letter to I.C.B.C. concludes with, "The Village has not admitted any liability to claimants who are now becoming irate." About 20 property owners are claiming a total of $3,000. The Village liability policy on which the claim for the broken windows has been made has a $500 deductible clause. The Village has been paying I.C.B.C. $19,034 each year in premiums since 1976 for its total insurance coverage. Oil Hazard: Does thc Village use old crankcase oil on its gravelled roads? The Ministry of Environment is asking this question of all municipalities since research in Ontario and elsewhere shows damage to surface water from such use as well as the possible harm from carcinogenic substances in the used oil. A plant is being built in North Vancouver, the letter states, to re-refine used oils which will remove these harmful qualities. As well, the letter continues, Highways is phasing out the use of used oil on its gravel roads and at this time about half the gravel roads under its jurisdiction are treated instead with calcium chloride or ligno-sullbna.es. National Unity: The British Columbia Committee of the People to People petition lor Canadian unity, reports in a letter to Council that 62 Councils in British Columbia, Gibsons included, have endorsed thc petition, and that signatures across the nation arc past the hall million mark and growing. The petition aims to show the ordinary citizens of Quebec province that lhc people in thc rest of Canada want them 10 remain as part ol Canada. Local Councils arc urged to help > History: Some Gibsons history is now engraved on a metal plaque which hangs in thc Council chambers. Names of elected officials recorded there include Alcrman Fitchett's father and uncle, and the names Adams, Mayor Blain's father-in-law. Back in 1929 when lhc headman was called thc Chairman and his committee, Commissioners, there was a George Cooper who endured 14 years in office cither as Chairman or Commissioner. Other names among many remembered ones are A.S. Trueman, Principal of Elphinstone Secondary to 1956, and Al Ritchie who lived and served many years in Gibsons. And this Saturday, lhc 17th. each of us voters will be handed a bundle of coloured ballots to mark. One for the Mayor, two different ones for Aldermen, and of course, thc Marina referendum. 35 years the most widely read Sunshine Coast newspaper!! 1 2.

Such a question would appear to be the decision facing the voters of Gibsons when they vote in the referendum on the Marina proposal this Saturday. On the positive side, there is the report from P. Eby and Associates, a firm highly regarded by the Small Craft Harbours Branch, which is emphatic in its findings that the Marina would be both economically feasible and beneficial to the Harbour area of the Village of Gibsons. That the Harbour area stands in serious need of some beneficial influence is obvious to all and has been said here before. Eby concludes that the Marina will produce economic benefit without adding in the slightest to the tax burden of the municipality. That is a strong recommendation. The opposition to the Marina comes, it would seem largely from waterfront property owners, in fact Eby expects that waterfront values will increase should the Marina go through. Against the worries of the waterfront owners, there is the crying need of the commercial fishing fleet for more space for the vessels. The Marina would remove the present pleasure-commercial entanglement from the Government Wharf. Whilst it is easy to sympathize with the waterfront people, it does seem from this vantage point that the Marina is a project which we must say yes to. The Federal Government and Provincial Government monies available to the Village for this project will not be soon or readily available again should we fail to grasp this opportunity. That the environmental impact must be most closely monitored we would strongly agree, but nonetheless we simply cannot afford to turn our back on this catalystic opportunity to re-vitalize the Lower Village of Gibsons. Hydro presses on We read in our papers that the B. C. Hydro propaganda barrage on Vancouver Island on behalf of the Cheekye-Dunsmuir power line is stepping up in pace. Despite the belief of the B.C. Energy Commission and the findings of the Shaffer Report that the line was not necessary, Hydro is determined to ram it through. They are apparently taking advertisements in the Island papers urging people to do without hot baths and hot showers at the peak hours of power usage. Without showers and hot meals, if you please! No word of encouraging economies on the part of the pulp mills that get their electricity at one third cost. No suggestion that they might do more to provide more of their own power from waste products. The shock value of telling residents not to wash nor to eat hot foods is very considerable and leaves the residents of the Sunshine Coast, who oppose the power line, in the position of selfish ogres who would sacrifice their neighbours well-being rather than their own view. The determination of the, power corporation to ram through their grandi ose schemes whatever the opposition is virtually diabolical. Single-handedly and without recourse to elected representatives or the democratic process, B.C. Hydro has apparently embarked on a policy of continental energy. The^iave at the present time applications in to supply power to the North Western States on a regular basis, the first time such applications have been entered. With a neighbour as large as and as wasteful of energy and voracious for more as the United States, Canada would be most well advised to study very cautiously the concept of continental energy. We have the energy, they have the appetite. It's a strange sharing. The question of whether we should embark on these perilous waters should not be decided by B.C. Hydro whose mandate is to supply power in B.C. but if Bill Bennett and his Socred government cannot persuade a researcher involved in the fake letters scandal to accept a reprimand, what on earth are they going to do with the all-powerful Bob Bonner and his continental energy policy? .from the files of the COAST NEWS FIVE YEARS AQO Hospital Administrator Mrs. Ellen E.

Three fish boats and their owners have been missing since a recent big storm off the Sunshine Coast. Missing are William Harris of Pender Harbour and Red Hamilton and Jimmy Nelson. Telegraph Creek. This was the head of navigation up the Stikine River. The name originated from the Collins Overland Telegraph, which set out to build a line from New York across North America and Asia to business centres in Europe and Britain. Cutters were felling trees along the right-of-way beyond Bering Strait when, in 1866, a cable was successfully laid across the Atlantic, ending the transcontinental project. In 1910, Eric Thomson accompanied his father, James, Fur Manager for New Caledonia, on a tour of his territory north from Victoria and along the Skeena and Stikine. Here, from the deck of a Bay vessel, Eric's camera caught a group of residents at the post above a great pile of baled furs awaiting shipment. Frederick Inglis, later the only Sunshine Coast Physician and Surgeon, for many years was Telegraph Creek's doctor at the time of the Thomson expedition. Photo courtesy Eric Thomson collection. L.R. Peterson ''^MfctfM* Musings John Burnside Slings & Arrows George Matthews For years I've known of the phrase 'an educated fool', but never till very recently did I fully appreciate its meaning. Friends, I am an educated fool, there's no mistaking it, there's no escaping it. With what seems'like a'half a lifetime of taking courses and passing exams behind me I find myself deficient of even the most rudimentary knowledge of the most crucially important aspects of life's struggle. I am not talking here about a devel'oped and determined ineptitude with things mechanical. I am only too happy to turn my car over to trained mechanics. I rarely admit it, but I did once perform the function of operating room nurse in a valve job operation on an elderly Morris Oxford which was my first car. It was November in Montreal and the deed was done on several bitterly cold nights working in the out of doors. A saintly neighbour toughed it out with me and did all the skilled work while I passed him wrenches and went for hot coffee. I think he was trying to teach me and undoubtedly I learned something about cars, mainly that I never wanted to work on one again and I never have. I have little shame in recounting this and no regrets. I reason that everyone has areas of ineptitude and am happy to accept mechanical repairs as one of mine. As Leo Larocquc told me years ago in Montreal, "All of us is ignorant, just about different tings." It is a different matter, however, lo find oneself dangerously inept in thc matter of providing oneself with shelter or repairing and heating the shelter that one has and it is in this area that I have realized that I am an educated fool. When we moved into our house in Roberts Creek I decided that thc oil stove was the first thing that must go. I have not had pleasant experiences with oil stoves. They are sooty and they smell. Being the absent-minded sort, I have more than once turned on the oil and gone off and forgotten to light it. Upside down in the middle of an oil stove mopping up a dangerous pool of excess oil is not my idea of recreation, in fact it's almost as bad as messing about in thc insides of automobiles. Coupled with this antipathy to matters oily, I have doubts about the costs that oil might reach and am not at all convinced that there will be certainty in the future of regular availability what with the chaos in Iran and the tendencies of the multi-nationals, as evidenced last winter, to leave Canadian customers clutching the cow's tail whenever Americans need the oil destined for Canada. , On the other hand, I have a real fondness for wood heating which I developed in the Yukon and in a three year spell in a beach cabin in Roberts Creek previously. I reckon that multinational corporations are a few years yet from being in absolute control of our wood supply and somehow it makes me feel much better to know that my future warmth does not depend on whatever dance of disorientation that Jimmy Carter, his increasingly inept State Department, and the fanatic Ayatollah Kohmenei get into in the foreseeable future. In addition to my questions on the availability of oil as a fuel there is also the question of cost. A great debate rages in Canada as to whether or not Canadians should eventually pay the world price for oil. Ontario says no and Alberta says yes and wants to boost the price by $4 a barrel until they catch up with the rest of the world. What I wonder is where are thc guarantees that the world price is going to sit still for the two or three years it will take Canadian prices to catch up? Thc Arabs boosted the price by close to $10 a barrel recently and said they would review the situation in six more months. Paying the world price for oil is liable to gct harder and harder with some nations already paying $40 a barrel on the oil black market as opposed to the official $21-$23. So my personal antipathy and the lowering clouds of a stormy oil future made mc opt for wood. So far so good. But thc summer's visitors didn't stop coming until the middle of September and after that there was a halcyon period of recuperation in the fine warm weather this fall. It was the middle of October before the roof on the old and neglected log house we bought got repaired and the business of acquiring the wood heater was seriously addressed. It was beginning to get cold and I realized that the installation of the wood stove was not a matter of one day's frenetic energy which is normally howl operate when I can shake my natural lethargic indolence. After the serious business of choosing the wood stove was attended to I realized that I would have to have a brick pad and backing before I could install it and further realized that bricklayers are busy people. Coincidental^ thc struggle to have the old chimneys inspected and swept also took a fair number of days. Suddenly it was November and the house was cold, cold, cold. Desperation began to attend my unskilled efforts to co-ordinate and achieve an adequate heating system. Wood, the availability of, became another factor overlooked and desperate measures were again the order of the day. Finally there was the brickwork and thc wood stove wrestled into place and I discovered that this late in the season getting the right pipes was also a problem. For days I tried to get the right kind of elbow while the wood stove sat cooly indifferent to our sufferings with a gap where its elbow ought to have been. The first elbow had no crimped end and had to be returned. More were on their way from Vancouver but the truck missed the ferry and the elbows didn't arrive and it was another night in the middle of November with only the fireplace and an inadequate electric heater. Shades of a frigid Scottish boyhood! When the truck arrived there were no elbows of the requisite size. Despair again! Finally in Sechelt I tracked down an c(bow that seemed to fill the bill and raced eagerly home with it. There were only three pieces of pipe involved and surely nothing could go wrong. Wait a minute! One of them had to be cut. Another cold nighl. Thc pipe was cut and one of the ends of thc elbow insisted that it would not fit with thc pipe on the stove. By this stage I was foaming at thc mouth with frustration and rage and a feeling of general ineptitude. Just before total insanity struck, in came cheerful, lovely June Hope from Nelson Island and with typical cheerful competence produced tinsnips, which I had never heard of, slit the sides of the pipe, inserted it, and within minutes the valiant woodstove began to etch a place in my heart and smoke, at last, billowed from my chimney. None of the courses I ever took had prepared me for the trauma of warming my shelter with the basty onslaught of winter and I realized that I had a lot of learning to do. The lot of an educated fool is not an easy one. This being about the right time of year, I think maybe I should tell my hunting story. Those of you who are avid Burnside readers will remember his epic adventure with the Iron Creek Cavalry. My hunting story pales into insignificance beside that yarn but it contains just enough damn foolery to make it worth the telling. My friend Gordon and I had never been hunting before. We were about 22 or 23 years old and we'd heard enough macho hunting tales to want to make it a part of our experience. As far as we were concerned, you got a couple of guns, a bottle of brandy for the cold weather, a good pair of boots and then you went out into the woods and blasted away. We borrowed a couple of weapons; mine looked like something John Wayne may have used to blow away two or three tribes in any one of a dozen movies; Gordon's looked like something a World War I sniper would feel comfortable with. We threw our gear in the back of the car one November Friday evening and headed for the hills. We decided that we had better hunt somewhere where no one else was likely to be, so we drove to Vernon, took off up a back road, took a right off onto a secondary road, and finally arrived at a place where no person had appeared to have been in at least five years. From there we hiked some five miles back into thc bush until we stumbled across a lake that we were pretty sure had never been viewed by a white man before. We bivouacked ourselves on a bit of a rise at one end of the lake and having determined that we had enfiladed the area against any form of four footed invader, we set about insulating ourselves against the cold with the aforementioned brandy. After about three hours of silent, if sedentary, stalking we concluded that if the prey were not going to come to us we would have to pursue the prey. We weren't quite sure what we were looking for but we planned on blasting anything on four feet that had a lot of horns. Since this appeared to be the kind of lake that a large creature would enjoy surveying, we decided to make our way around its edge where the likelihood of stumbling upon the unsuspecting quadruped would be great. About three quarters of the way around the lake we came across a clump of bush, and as we made our way around this interuption, a dark figure loomed in the midst of the brush. The thickness of the vegetation obscured our vision but the general configuration suggested a living beast of substantial magnitude. We immediately devised a clever plan to thwart the victim's retreat���we would surround it. I remained stationary while Gordon skulked around to the opposite side of the bushy grove. There he was, 180 degrees from me on the other side of the clump; between us the cornered prey. I slowly raised the weapon to my shoulder, an old, but apparently serviceable Winchester which I had never operated. In fact the only instructions given me were that it was "sort of like a .22 only Please rum to page three The Motive For Metaphor You Ilk* It under the tree* In autumn, Beceuse everything I* hell deed.

Letters to the Editor Marii Editor: I learned from my family that the people of Gibsons will be going to the polls to vote on Saturday, November 17 to give support or otherwise to the proposed new Marina, I can't be there so I take this opportunity to express my support and appeal to those who share my view to be sure to get out and vote. The subject has been discussed and debated for more than ten years and each year the old Wharf gets more decrepit and each year the costs go up. We have a situation being offered by senior governments where we can get "gift" finances of $ 1.2 million and only have to put up $300 thousand to get a new Marina. This is no more money than we as a family enterprise borrowed and spent oh our store facilities in 1974. We did it because of growth pressures around us and the community must do it in the Bay for the same reasons. The arguments that the Marina will only benefit a few merchants in Lower Gibsons is to assume that successful commerce does not provide many community benefits. The payroll of our business will this year approach $240 thousand, add to that the taxes, the utilities and other cost factors and you have a very substantial contribution to the 'good and benefit of the community in which we do business. This money does not all come from the people who live here. A large proportion comes from boat people, tug boats, fish boats, from the nearby Island residents, etc, etc. Many of these people have a great deal of trouble getting in to park their boats. Many of our own citizens don't leave their boats in the water for want of adequate space. Slings and arrows(cont'd) louder". The next half second car and the city, grew into an eternity.

I frankly visualize a lot of Vancouver people arranging permanent berths here and they will spend a good deal of money. The argument that boat people don't spend in this community is sheer nonsense. We rely on them, we service them and we know better. Further more, a large part of our local fishing fleet can't even tie up here. They stay elsewhere at present. A good size fishing fleet berthed here can not help but aid our economy. We have had ten or more years in which much money has been spent to examine the alternatives. We need to act now. The spinoff benefits can be quite substantial. Quite frankly, the way our community is growing and considering the fact that we have such a large body of protected waters with good fishing, I predict the Marina will be over subscribed in a few short years. Let's do it, and DO JT NOW. It won't happen if you don't let your Council know you want it. Bill Edney.

Sound off Editor: Once again the minority sounds off on the new Marina project. Did they not notice this year that there were ten times as many boaters in Howe Sound as last year, and why, because gas is one dollar a gallon, go further than Gibsons if you can get all you need here. Sun and ' Fishl! We have to have a Marina so we can have more commercial boats at the Wharf. Let's keep our fishing Village atmosphere. We have to have a Marina well run with public facilities. This is the only way to clean up the Bay. Do you realize that people living in the Bay area actually clean up human excretions on their property? We have one of the best fishing grounds between the Gap and Gower Point so the majority will be in our area anyway. Let's take advantage of our natural resources and sell our products as we are all bound to gain by it. Say yes to something that is coming; vote for our Marina. Yours truly, Anne Gurney. Bay beauty? Editor: In answer to some points in last week's letters re the Marina. Has anyone ever really looked at Gibsons' "beautiful bay"? A Government Wharf jammed with boats and cars with a run down float tacked on one end. A falling apart breakwater and a hodge podge of so-called marinas, some with sinking floats, sunk floats, dangerous floats, poor access and no room. Now look at a marina like Fishermans Cove, clean, tidy and beautiful. There is much that can be done to beautify the bay in Gibsons and a marina, properly planned and constructed, would certainly help. As far as expanding what is already there; you couldn't add to the mess without removing the present unsight- lies and by adding to the parts in good condition; wouldn't you be creating another marina, anyway?

We were :*.��� :*;c people, living on the ii.illtown's outskirts. We had lew material possessions but we had the property and perhaps a greater independence than we would ever know again. Thc land was no great prize���60 acres of scrubby, second growth hemlock with a peppering of fir piling and cedar. My mother's second husband had picked it up for a song during the Depression. Stump Hollow lay at the bottom corner of the half section and there we lived in the early fifties, my mother, my youngest brother and myself. We had no electricity and a primitive waterline that was forever springing leak.. My middle brother, Chris, and I had originally planned to log the property but had been advised against this because of low lumber prices and the diseased condition of much of the hemlock. Chris had since urried and left the area.

My brother Martin still went to school but caught trout in the nearby streams to help out. Luckily we had few overheads beyond basic groceries and fuel for the lamps. 1 had for a time worked at the pulp mill but had lost this job along with eight other drinking buddies after a somewhat apocalyptic bunkhouse party. As far as jobs went, it was no great loss but it did rob me of acertaih security. 1 consoled myself with thc thought that at least I didn't have to punch a time clock or work those mind-numbing night shifts anymore. And I drifted into the shake business. Jake Horatski, my initiator, was a second generation Pole with a fierce black moustache and a mind like a cash register. Prior to his coming, there had been no commercial shakecut- ting around those parts. Once in awhile, someone might hack up a log to shake his roof. No one ever thought of doing it for money. But Jake was a cedar hustler from the country a- round Mission where they'd been doing it for bucks for quite awhile. He hit town with a red haired mistress called Freda and a couple of weather- beaten old characters he must have shanghaied from a skidroad bar. They set up shop in a disused bunkhouse on the opposite side of the mill and commenced to practice their trade. Things were pretty tight for us at the time. I'd walked off on a particularly unreasonable hooktender shortly before, which gave me some momentary satisfaction but effectively delayed my pogey for six weeks. It was too late in the year to hire out again and I was blacklisted at the mill. Someone introduced me to Jake at the local pub. He was looking for another man so I went to work for him. Work was the word for it. Charlie and Albert, the two grizzled drifters he employed, were too wrungout and enfeebled to cope with anything much heavier than splitting and packing. Albert was a toothless, doddering character who must have been around since the ox-logging days and slick- bald, cackling Charlie, while not quite as far over the hill as his partner, would sure as hell never sec 65 again. That left the rest of the labour to Jake and myself. The bucking and block splitting were no particular sweat but carrying out the bundles and resaw blanks was something else again. We were cutting several hundred feet back from the nearest access road and the trail was uphill. Jake stood about six-two in his socks and was proportioned to match. He was in his late thirties and strong as a gin-mill bouncer. He could shoulderthe most waterlogged bundle or stack of blanks with barely a grunt and lug it as far as need be like an empty packsack. He had at least 40 pounds and over three inches on me. I found it rough going on the wet stuff. Some of those bundles must have weighed well over 100 pounds. I rejoiced when we hit snag wood or windfalls that hadn't been sucking up swamp moisture for half a century. The bundles seemed fcatherlight by comparison and I could almost run with them. But it was dank, boggy bottomland and we mostly toted deadweight. Fortunately, the oldtimers were not exactly in the highball category. It took them several days to get a payload together. In between, I split up blocks with a sledgehammer and wedge or spelled Jake off on the bucking. I'd had little to do with powersaws prior to this and was afftrreltenstve of them. ���arm Those sharp teeth would chew flesh gladly as wood. Jake had a livid scar on his right leg as proof. I went at it damn gingerly at first. He owned two saws���an antique IEL that weighed at least 12S pounds and a much lighter one-man McCuUoch. The small saw happily sufficed for all but the most enormous logs. I soon learned one of the cardinal secrets of shake bucking���the teeth have to be Filed evenly. Sloppy Filing will cause the saw to run off on an angle, producing worthless, slant-ended blocks. My first attempts at sharpening a chain resulted in several such cockeyed blocks and Jake's unconcealed displeasure. After that, whenever possible, I left the filing up to him.

Advice is to expect the unexpected, especially on Wednesday. Mars spends its last few days in Leo before entering Virgo where it will move back and forth until July of next year. Mercury, planet of communications, is now retrograding and responsible for any slow downs affecting daily routines. Mercury also squares Mars next weekend warning us to take care whilst travelling. Babies born this week will be strong willed, independent, original and progressive. Those arriving at the weekend will possess sharp tongues. Sarcasm and vindictiveness should be discouraged at an early age. ARIES (March 21 ��� April 19) Close associate's financial position is subject to sudden change. It's your job to stabilize situation and speak out against impulsive moves. You'll be glad you did. At last, social life, pleasures and pastimes begin to slow down. Realize that many months of hard work lie ahead. Contact with clever person far away still brings happiness. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Matters linked to marriage, involvement or partnership are subject to surprising mid-week conditions. Other person's desire to break free from restrictions may necessitate review of recent agreement. Meanwhile, last chance to complete domestic renovations or projects. Increased social activities are highlighted for upcoming months. Getting that loan is still easy. GEMINI (May 21 - June 21) Prepare for strange, midweek incident where you perform daily tasks. Routine toil and drudgery may be interrupted by upstart who claims to know all the answers. Don't allow co-worker to jeopardize hard earned position. Meanwhile, hectic short trips begin to decrease. Venus message says to be kinder to the one you love most. CANCER (June 22 - July 22) Accent is on unusual social activities. Mid-week outing could be the start of another strange association. Realize too that work scene infatuation is getting stronger. Can you handle both? Looks like petty financial problem may be solved this weekend. Prepare for an increase in local journeys during the next few months. Ignore child's eccentric behaviour. LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22) Where you live is scene of unexpected happenings. Don't plan to enjoy a quiet week at home. Surprise visitors will disrupt domestic routines. Last chance to launch personal project before energy planet Mars prepares to leave your sign. Remember that idealistic romantic attachment can still be formed this month. VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Accent is on disruptive short distance communications. Unusual request received by phone or mail may necessitate sudden journey or visit. Brother, sister or neighbour could be source of commotion. Last chance to check details of private plan. Action planet Mars enters your sign next week so grab final opportunity to rest and relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 23) Shocks and surprises will be linked to personal possessions or cash situation. Your money could either double or be lost without warning. Urge to purchase unusual major item should be controlled. Last chance to direct energy into scheme started last summer. Spontaneous trip and visits are still sources of contentment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) The Sun and Uranus together in your sign reinforce1 your need to break loose and reach for freedom. Too bad that others still find you strange, eccentric and unwilling to compromise. They'll understand you better in a few years time. Meanwhile, refuse to be squished. Continue to assert your rights with those in authority. Those born around November 14 should prepare for twelve months of sudden change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Spotlight is on peculiar happenings behind the scenes. Looks like personal secret you've been trying to hide faces unexpected exposure. Those of you anticipating peace and quiet in secluded place should keep last minute arrangements confidential. Venus in your sign still bestows charm, elegance and loveliness. Clothing bought now proves best investment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19) Accent is on unforeseen changes to future goals. Friend's surprising decision forces reconsideration of your own long range plans. You realize that traditional hopes and wishes no longer guarantee lasting contentment. Meanwhile, be glad that arguments concerning other people's resources end soon. Secret involvement becomes more mysterious. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) Prepare for unexpected shift in status or local reputation. You could either lose or acquire position representing stability and security. It's no time to tell the boss where to place customary ideas and methods. Know that lingering disagreement with close associate is soon resolved. Happiness is still found at regular group gathering. PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Focus is on surprising incident far away. Long distance message may request you take quick trip to restore calm. Meanwhile, your philosophical ideas sound too unconventional to be accepted. College or High School students enjoy wildest week yet. Work scene hassle ends soon. Remember you're still number one with those who hire and fire. Off the shelf Juried Art Exhibition Coast News, November 13,1979 by John Moore Islands are like ships; they exaggerate each member of the crew's vices and virtues, eccentricities and downright peculiarities, to superhuman scale. The smaller the stage, the larger the actors appear. While this situation inevitably promotes a good deal of petty, often irrational, bickering usually encountered only within families, the squabbling on the surface frequently masks a deeper fundamental tolerance and loyalty which emerges when the whole group, or even one member, is threatened by forces from "outside" the group. Writers from Homer to Hemingway have made use of the island's small stage to intensify the dramatic element in their stories, but few have presented the life of the islanders themselves with humour and insight which e- merges from Jean Howarth's Treasure Island. (Dorset Publishing Inc. 1979). Treasure bland is episodic; it has no single plot as such, since the chapters are actually columns which appeared on the editorial page of the Toronto Globe and Mail, but there are threads of continuity which give the book a unity as natural and eccentric as the life she describes. The barely fictional island of Madronna is supposed to exist, I take it from the uncomplimentary references to Toronto, as the nearest major urban centre from which mixed blessings flow, somewhere in the Lakes, but it really makes no difference. Madronna could lie- off either Coast of the country just as easily. Jean Howarth spent some time living on Saturna Island ih the Gulf Islands and you won't be able to get rid of the feeling you've met many of her neighbours. "What this country needs," Howarth says, "is a place to get away from itself,"���or back into itself���and Madronna is it. Island society is dominated by the likes of Captain O'Grady, whose only tangible claim to his rank is a square-rigged hat stolen from a passing yacht. He makes his living "beachcombing", (robbing log-booms), appropriating anything that isn't nailed down, and by running a Still which produces the island's supply of bootleg gin. (To beat the cost of mainland liquor. As well as having no water or power connection, Madronna has no liquor store.) As the book opens, two of the islands oldest residents, Grandpa Cuthbert at 89 and Mildred Stonehenge, a 91 year old lady who digs postholes for the new island cemetary, (to beat the cost of mainland funerals) with the posthole digger she made herself, who also pit-lamps deer among her strawberries, are engaged in a contest of wills, both determined to outlive each other and both equally determined to have the honour of being the first islander interred in the new cemetery. "It has, " Howarth remarks drily, "left them both spending much time hoping the other will be lost at sea." You'll also meet Charlie Jo, a young Indian musician, who lends the Madronna rockband, (a collection of witches and warlocks who glare balefully at audiences while they perform a variety of exotic acoustic instruments which include "grouse drums'���a percussion creation which mimics the "whoose" of the grouse��� 20% on Perennials and Spring Bulbs 1 week only at riant* \\ Cowrie St. Sechelt 885-3818 Mon.-Sat, invented by Silby, a reclusive hippie furniture maker who is so shy that he runs away into the bush when visitors come to his cabin, hides in the other room at gatherings, and will actually speak only to Charlie Jo. Charlie Jo is also one of the islands prime hustlers and a precocious, wise man. He gets government grants to build a system of damned pools that will improve Madronna's water supply, then imports beavers to do all the actual work. He and Mr. Carpenter, the island's postmaster, storekeeper and only public servant, have perfected the art of misunderstanding instructions from mainland bureaucrats and politicians in such a way that roads and services are put where they will be of most use and least inconvenience to the majority of the islanders. When Silby's only companion, his Malemute dog, has to be killed for killing sheep, Charlie Jo acquires two Malemute pups. One he gives to Silby and one to the author, whose household is already strained by a menagerie which includes a gourmet racoon, two adopted cats, a dog, an unhousetrained peacock who preens ceaselessly in all the mirrors in the house and a bad tempered macaw (a- nother of Charlies contributions). Now, Charlie explains, if the dogs grow up and one takes to killing sheep, no one will be able to tell whose it is. "Nobody.'he says, "would kill your dog." I'm not going to spoil any more of Treasure bland by repeating it. It's full of things that are funny, sad and true and Jean Howarth has a dry wit and marvellously straightforward style that makes reading her like reading a good letter from an old friend, All for now. All By Myself by Pat Chamberlin was one of the paintings that caught the eye of our reviewer at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre last week. Contact improvisation by Gillian Lowndes This Friday at 8 p.m. at St. Hilda's Hall, Sechelt, the Sunshine Coast Arts Council is sponsoring a performance of contact improvision to be followed by two workshops on Saturday. To pre-register for the workshop, call 885-5412 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. It will also be possible to register on Saturday and fees will be payable then. Contact improvisation is a recently developed movement form. It is a duet in which the participants, using weight and gravity, momentum and stillness, assist each other to move in free flow. Information is exchanged through i moving point of physical contact. Since 1975, Peter Ryan has been intensively involved in dance and body alignment techniques. Currently he teaches contact improvisation and related movement forms in Vancouver as well as performing independently and with other dancers. by Joan Hearts FoUtr Many of us dwell protectively in our own tight little circles and only through books and art are we allowed to peek at someone elses emotions. The Juried Art Exhibition at the Sunshine Coast Art Centre provides us with the perfect keyhole for such invasion. Walking into tbe Art Centre and looking at the work will provide each viewer with a new personal experience to add to the sum of his or her own. Almost everyone seeing this show will have some response. .."loved this..." "hated that..." and that's as it should be. "My goodness, I don't remember seeing that one..." or "I must have walked right by those two..." Ah...that is no response at all and is much to be (eared and dreaded by the artist as is the most horrible of all comments, "By now I have seen that concept so many times before and in so many places that I am bored to death with it." So I must approach every art show with my own particular zeal and my own personal experience. In this exhibition I fell in love again; love at first sight again! What a glorious feeling! I was enchanted and drawn right into a fresh and unassuming interior composition by Matthew Har- ley. Using pastels, with more strength than is usually associated with them, Harley's room is warm and inviting. His mismatched Oriental carpets, growing plants and paintings make it all very personal and I felt an invited gbest. Harley's second offering Back Alley seems to work just as well with the feel of a hot summer back lane with blazing sky and grafiti. You are there. His technique is open, unpretentious and refreshing. I hope we will see much more of Matthew Hurley. All By Myself by Pat Chamberlin is a great study of a sturdy little boy dragging on the oars ofa boat that is too big for him. In using a square canvas for this painting and very slightly off setting her, composition, Chamberlin ha** created a real pull pn thoseOars and with her brush stroke running counter, a great push in the opposite. I just wanted to give the whole thing a helpful shove. I could feel the effort. Again with Senja Boutilier's large, haunting, misty-gray painting of two night birds busy in the pre-dawn frosty air, the feeling is there that Senja is glad they are singing and site is sharing the gladness. Robert Jack's old car wreck is as effective in its winter Crisis Energy BSB Did you ever face a crisis alone? That frightening moment when you wondered where you would find the strength to go on? It's a common feeling. But it doesn't have to be so. We weren't made to face crises alone. We need the strength and support that comes from knowing that others are standing with us.

We often have the pleasure of seeing his work in Raincoast Chronicles and he is one of our own. Enid Goodman has a delightful knack of combining a portrait with a landscape thus escaping the Founders image of portraiture and the 'pretty' image of general landscape. Again I felt myself relaxing with her subjects Brace and Tom and enjoying her splendid use of colour. Some of the exhibiting artists are generous with their e- motions and others are quite cannily reticent as is Wanda Best, whose white relief original prints are exquisitely executed. The figure form is curving and warm but the overall effect is cold. Another dichotomy. On the other hand we have King Anderson who refuses to give anything at all. If he has been affected by moon shots or space it has only been to the extent of providing a black mat for a Sunday Sun and some tidy clippings from Time or Life. Is the black border his only esoteric comment? He isn't outrageous but he is neat. Donna Shugar gives us a negative or a negative-positive (Solarized photo) Jody In Red which I would love to see in red. I guess it was red in the dark room. In the opposite corner Jan Wade gives me far more than I ever want to feel of (in the true definition of the word), nightmare fantasies. I am unhappy in the presence of agony and her works dredged up thoughts of a bubble bath in the county morgue. Fangs, blood, Sadomasochism with a dash of necrophilia. Shades of Jerome Boschs' ISth Century Garden Of Worldly Delights and macabre bits of Van Eykes' Hell circa 1420. The quality of her work demands reaction and in that she succeeds but for me the reaction was negative and I hurried onto sunnier climes. Veronica Plewman is a skilled draughtsman and her drawings of marble patterns and a rose are perfect as is her Pieces Of A Still Lire. Joan Thompson Warn always has a subtle and delightful touch with flowers and her light hearted figure dressing, Camisole, is mobile and summery. Considering the size of this exhibition it is the diversity of media and the varied personalities of the participants that have combined to make me so long winded. Kay Cole has some sturdy Newfoundland shacks nicely composed on a small canvas. R.P.

J �� The contents ol this brochure, outlining the programme, will be followed up bya public meelii ���,. , NEED: The local commercial vessel fleet is vital to the economic liability of the community There is a steady increase in the number and size of commercial vessels using the Federal Wharf facilities. This trend Is predicted to continue, and haa begun to put pressure on the moorage available to local pleasure boat owners. To relieve the congestion, the only acceptable solution is to provide a permanent moorage marina for pleasure boats, leaving the wharf and floats for commercial ut*. When fishing vessels are absent in Ihe summer, the vacant space would be used to accommodate Iransieni boaters The predicted level ol marine activity is expected to sustain in excess ol 300 jobs afloet and ashore���about 100 more lhan at present. To ensure lhal the Government Wharf facilities are adequate, an u programme, paid tor in lull by Ihe Federal Government, is being negotiated. Thi* is separate from Federal support lor Ihe marina. SIZE: It has been proven by Small Cult Harbours Branch���Fisheries and Oceana that, to break even financially. Municipal marinas should provide spece for at least230 Male. To allow lor a reasonable revenue margin, and luture expansion, provision has been made to accommodate approximately 440 boats. The Village has already received provisional epplications for 260 berths, in Ihe proposed marina, from local residents end boat owners elsewhere Allocation ol moorage will be lirsl lo residents ot Gibsons, then residents of the Sunshine Coast, and finally boat owners Irom elsewhere. Provision ot moorage to meet increased aemand will be phased to meet requirements, if this is economically feasible DESIGN AND SITE: To comply with the policies and fiscal restraints established by tha Villagt Council ind other government bodies, much thought and work has gone into the design ol Iht ���narina and choice ut site The option accepted is the best possible solution, under tht :ircumstances Factors such as weather, environmental protection, strict pollution control, fiscal economy, physical protection, curtailment of changes, protection ol privacy, provision ot adequate parking and launching facilities, as well as conforming with the regulation! ot every level of government, have influenced the design and site choice. As wtll. tht availability of suitable land has had considerable bearing upon the choice. The project has incorporated the suggestions of many knowledgeable local residents, in an endeavour to provide a well protected harbour, to accommodate our total marine activity as economically as possible. ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY: A thorough Economic Feasibility Study was undertaken by P.Eby and Associates Ltd. (Professional Economists), using conservative growth and revenue information. The results ol this study were summarized as follows: "We heve concluded thai than It an immadtata natt) lor additional parmananl and uanaUnt moorage et Gibsons, and Ihat tht propone 43* berth marine ft both economically laaaibla and coat effective.

Copies ol Ihe complete study are obtainable Irom the Municipal Hall for a nominal sum of M.50, or can bo reviewed by contacting the Gibsons end vicinity Chamber el Commerce. COST: Exclusive of land purchased, the cost estimate is $1,060,000.00. The Federal Government share, for breakwater and dredging, would be approximately $830,000.00 or 50%. Substantial assistance Irom the Provincial Government Is being negotiated. The Village share cannot exceed the current net borrowing power, and is estimated to be $140,000.00 which will be repayable to the Vlllege from the Marina revenues. Funding is spread over a three-year period. If Federal or Provincial funding is not provided, the Marina will not be built. EFFECT UPON TAXATION: Government funding will ensure that there will be no increase in the local tax burden. Revenues will be more than sufficient to meet operating expenses end retirement of capital debt, es well as recovering the cost of land purchased. WITHOUT GOVERNMENT FUNDING THERE WILL NOT BE A MARINA OPERATING POLICY: The operation and use of the proposed Marina will be strictly controlled. The intended rules are included in this brochure. The Marina, with its revenue, will belong solely to the residents of Gibsons, without hindrance from outside sources. Council is considering alternate methods ot manegement and operation In order to determine that which Is most financially beneficial to Ihe Village. BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY: The Merina concept, and the Federal Wharf upgrading, will provide Gibsons wilh a controllable, cost effective asset, which cen be ot benefit to ali resident-.. The total package provides increased revenue locally, and much needed employment, year round. II gives the commercial fleet a proper home port, yet accommodates the transient boating population as well. It Is Nll-llquldating and not a tax burden, and its surplus revenues, when reamed, can be put to good use right here. II provides the local boating residents-epproxlmately 50% ol the population with e first class facility without the spectre ol a large debt burden. THE DECISION: The referendum on this proposal was promised, and one there shall be. after a public meeting is held. II you agree with the concept, support it. II you have doubts or need more information, answers will be provided at the public meeting. We urge you to give this proposal your lull consideration, because: THE FINAL DECISION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RESIDENTS OF GIBSONS. iJ^d CONDENSATION OF INTENDED RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR PROPOSED GIBSONS MUNICIPAL MARINA i��0 vflW Council requests your co-operation in helping to maintain a lirsl class marina RULES: 1, All persons using any of the Municipal Marina's facilities do so at their own risk 2.

Why can't we just expand the present Wharf | facilities? 'j A. The Government Wharf can and will be upgraded, but vehicle parking for the pleasure boat owners cannot be made to conform to the by-laws. In the future the present Wharf will give priority to the fishing and commercial vessels, with pleasure boats at the end of the/list. 2. Q. If/the Marina is such a good Idea, why is private enterprise not interested? A. Private enterprise does not have access to Government GRANTS totalling a MINIMUM of $1:2 /million. The grants make it economically viable. 3. 0. What happens if the referendum is passed? A. Everything is still contingent on the support of the ; Federal and Provincial Governments, plus studies j such as the environmental impact study. 4 Q. What about dry land storage? . , A. The Committee does not recommend It, nor has it made any allowances for it. 5. Q. Why is the Point Roberts Marina In financial ,' , difficulty? A.

As for Mr. Plushbucks and his $30,000 sloop, how about the thousands of dollars spent on Marina reply Editor: I would like to give reply to the adamantly anti-Marina letters published in your newspaper on November 6, 1979. I would point out to the general public that these concerned citizens are in fact property owners who are directly affected by the creation of a Marina at their door step, and as such one accepts their concern for such things as pollution control, environmental impact, taxes etc. Doctor Cline; do you really believe that a study which has taken five years to bring to referendum can possibly be described as a "hastily conceived venture"? It strikes me that the arguments presented in the letters to the editor were based a great deal more on emotion than they were on a sound understanding of the facts as they have been presented to the public. Using the Marina Committee's figure of a cost to the Village of $39,000 per annum to service the debt and maintain the facility, the cost, to all 1700 registered voters, even if the project is so hopelessly unsuccessful that not one boat makes use of it, is, by simple arithmatic, approximately $35 per person per year���hardly what one would call a dangerous gamble. It has been expressed that 430 heads all flushing in harmony would create a horrible pollution problem. As this writer understands it there will be washroom and shower facilities provided, as well as pumping stations for holding tanks. As there are no provisions made for "live aboards", and only small provision for over-nighters, it would seem that this is a somewhat backwards attitude. Thc pollution problem that now exists is due mainly to the lack of washroom facilities in thc existing government Wharf which forces boaters to use their own facilities against their better judgement. For confirmation you need only witness the todays recreational vehicles where they not only carry their televisions, but their boats as well. How many of these recreational vehicle owners have built their mobile home from scratch as many boat owners have. Many of us have penny pinched for years in order to build our $20,000- $30,000 sloop and friend, the wind is free even if the diesel isn't and a little of that goes a long way. We are a wealthy country and despite high fuel costs, our wages are such that we still can afford cars, recreational vehicles and boats, and some people, the works. We own a boat, a small car and do not have a summer cottage. The boat wc built, all of it. Thc house wc built, all of it, We arc NOT the Plushbucks and we don't own a colour television. Wc do nol use up thc world's resources but we would like a place to tie up our one pleasure. We appreciate the concern of the 1700 Gibsons property owners and we would like to share in the vote as well as the taxes if there should be any but that is out of our hands. Perhaps the time is coming when a larger municipality is the answer in order to broaden the tax base for some of these improvements. I certainly don't know all the answers. Let's keep an open mind and listen to both sides. Gloria Fyles. distressed faces of overnight visitors discovering that the facilities in Pioneer Park are not functional. As far as environmental impact goes, I have been assured (because I too asked all these questions) that if the agency undertaking the necessary, and I emphasize necessary, study, finds that this project is not viable for environmental reasons, the.n it's back to the drawing boards to FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. That, after all, is the central issue. Yes there are problems in the development of a project this big, but the answer is not to bury ones head in the sand or scream NO at the top of ones lungs. The answer is to take the problems and find solutions. I myself do not feel that all the avenues have been fully explored and that there are other possible solutions to the problems of parking, noise control etc. It is partly for this reason that I have chosen to run for office as Alderman in the forth coming election, and I further suggest that the authors of the letters at which this rebuttal is directed should feel free to discuss the problem of a Marina being built on their door step with me, so that we can maybe reach some sensible solutions to those problems. Last, but not least, I wish to make comment on the leaflet recently distributed throughout Gibsons, showing an empty Point Roberts Marina complete with despondent operator in bedroom slippers. I commend the authors of said leaflet for being brave enough to attempt the famous Hitler technique of the Big Lie. You, whoever you are, should be ashamed of yourselves for printing an out dated and irrelevant piece of foolishness such as this which any observer is free to go to Point Roberts and investigate for himself or herself. Respectfully yours, T. Karkabe. Editor: To the concerned people of Gibsons regarding the proposed Marina in Gibsons Harbour, I have been in the towboat business in Howe Sound for the past 13 years. I lived in Gibsons up until this year when I moved to Langdale. After reading the letters in this paper as well as going to the public meeting November 8,1979 in Gibsons, I would like to make a few comments as well as state a few facts. 1. The Marina in question is needed. You will never see fewer pleasure craft around, you will only see more. People these past few years have taken to the water more and more with the high cost of travel on land plus thc money normally spent on land travel they can use for boating plus have money left over and be more relaxed after a few days than travelling to some distant place on land. 2. Pleasure and commercial boats don't mix. Few pleasure craft can stand having a commercial boat tied alongside. Not only because the commercial boat is a lot heavier constructed but you can't find anything to tie to on a pleasure boat. The cleats on pleasure boats are too small or so weak they would only break or pull out of the deck. For a commercial boat to work his way past a pleasure boat at the Government dock is like trying to get past fresh eggs tied to the float, one little scrape and the egg breaks. 3. For every 40 feet of space used at the dock by pleasure craft you lose the potential of four or more people employed by the two or more commercial boats that could use the space. With employment one of the top concerns on the Sunshine Coast, this has to be considered. Myself, I have had one tug built on the Sunshine Coast by local labour alaVakalfalte-quarters of the work on my second tug is being done by local labour. This weans more business for local people as well as more employment. Some fishermen are in the process of having new and larger boats built plus other fishermen want to move here thus creating more employment. 4. When some people start talking about enlarging the present facilities to make room for the pleasure craft one has to wonder* where they are going to find room to park their cars and trucks. They now leave them on the dock etc. for days at a time. Commercial boat men can work most of this problem out with the help of Village Council and Federal officials. 5. Some are saying that pollution will increase. With the Marina you will have better control and the Federal Government is drawing up laws regarding holding tanks on all vessels, commercial and pleasure. 6. Some are worried about the cost. Being in business it is a small cost considering the value of the asset when finished. Some say that 1700 Gibson residents will have to foot the bill by way of taxes if they can't rent out all the space. With the amount of letters etc. received by the Marina Committee so far I would say within one year of completion it would be close to being full. With the added space created by moving pleasure craft from the present Government dock plus being expanded by the Government, the added revenue from moorage, employment and money spent within the community would offset any future unforeseen costs. 7. To the people that are making all the statements in the paper against the Marina, just one question I want to ask. "Where in hell have you been this past year or so when the members of Council, the Marina Committee and commercial vessel owners have been working on this much needed solution to the problems faced within the Harbour and Lower Gibsons?* In closing I would like to compliment Mr. David Hunter who did such a wonderful job as Chairman at the public meeting. To give each person an equal chance to voice his or her views and still keep the meeting orderly was a job well done.

I had to sell my lovely boat when I moved to Gibsons because there was not moorage available and I am one who does not find it enjoyable spending hours driving great distances to my boat or a place where I can moor it. One letter from Mr. Walt McGown really hit home. Although he prefers to compare apples to oranges let me correct some of his statements. Captains Cove Marina is one I know exceptionally well. Financial problems with the owner caused it to go broke a few years back. The owners problems were with other investments and not the Marina. He also suffered from extremely poor management. Since the new ownet tcok it over s'dmejhree or fourroirs a|jo ���'if"Tias""'titen "8':'mSjS proposition experiencing less than 10% vacancy ��and ii a viable financial success in spite of its poor location. Reeds Point is one which is a great distance from the. majority of boat owners. Time driving to the Marina at the top of Indian Arm and the l'/i hours cruising required to get out of the Arm is expensive and time consuming. Although it is filling slowly it was too ambitious for the appeal and needs of boaters. Both these Marinas above require hours of cruising to reach the open waters of the Georgia Strait. Those hours mean gallons and gallons before you're even under way. This doesn't make sense. Now let's deal with another Marina I have visited. The Poulsbo Marina in Washington. A beautiful new facility which would be a very close comparison for Gibsons with Vancouver so near. Seattle people use ihis facility the same as Vancouver people would use Gibson's planned Marina.

The support industries needed to sustain a Marina of this size, including a supposed 50% increase in docking space at the present wharf, are not here at present, and even with upgrading of present facilities, I don't believe the vessels can be adequately looked after. Where will the new support facilities be located? In conclusion I feel that the proposed Marina is being pushed through without full public disclosure. The commercial fleet has been promised upgrading to present breakwater and Wharf. I find it peculiar that cost expenditures have always been available for the different Marina projects and yet I have not heard any cost figures given for improvements to the present Wharf. There are no guarantees for the taxpayers of Gibsons. Asa present commercial user my vested interests would be with a new Marina. (It's no fun arriving in Gibsons Harbour in the middle of the night and pot! being able to And a safe place to moor my vessel.) My gut feeling of this proposed Marina and lack of safeguards is not good. I do not believe we are in a do or die situation. From information given at the public meeting the present facilities are to be increased by 50%. This would give us a breathing space in which to approach the Marina question with rationality and greater public participation allowed. Thank you. Robert J.

Cuddly animals and dolls in favourite colours can mean a lot to a child and they are relatively easy to make and quite inexpensive compared to sophisticated and bought toys. Diana Netzlaw will be giving two 4-hour workshops on Toymaking this month. She will show how to make an animal zoo with monkeys, tigers and elephants from work socks, and other stuffed animals, felt toys, clothspin dolls, pom pom toys or others chosen by participants.

CALL NOW 886-7111 Joint Office debate It's tough when your head and your heart pull in opposite directions and to make matters worse, the logical plans fall apart while your heart is wooed with good deals. That's the position the School Board has been in and Thursday night they called it "heads" by a vote of 4-3, but everything hasn't fallen in place yet. Trustee Puchalski's motion Jo accept the Village of Gibson's offer to lease land in Holland Park on which to anchor the portable office was defeated; opposed by Trustees Dombroski, Hodgins, Lloyd and Van Egmond and supported by Douglas and Rottluff. The position which won the day was presented with great sincerity by Trustee Lloyd who had obviously given the matter much thought and prepared the following written statement: "I can see no set of circumstances under which I could conscientiously vote, for a permanent location of thc Board office in Gibsons. "I realise that moving the ^oard office to Sechelt is the logical, reasonable action, and that such action will undoubtedly work some hardships. I think of our valued Trustee from Bowen Island and the extra burden on him���I think of our present staff and the dislocation of their lives. While these are valid concerns, in the larger picture they assume their proper proportion. "Our district is growing and will continue to do so, and geography says that 90% of such growth will be basically north of Gibsons���there isn't any south! To locate permanently in Gibsons would be a mistake now and as growth went on that mistake would loom larger every year. "We recently pursued with little result the Joint Facility concept and dropped out, but I was heartened to learn that the idea of moving the Board office to Sechelt has been simmering for 12 long years. So what cause to cry over another six months. "However, I feel now as I felt then that the Joint Facility TrSlfes "v^"'f6W'S��serWhy�� provide separate services and their attendant cost when one set would serve the three offices. The Regional Board long ago realized the value ofa location central to the area served. The Joint Facility concept is valid and wilt remain valid. We as Trustees and as taxpayers should make every effort to see that the tax dollar is spent for the purpose for which it was raised���in our case education. "The motion under discussion would provide us with 10,800 sq. ft. of space (on someone else's land) when we need about 3,600 sq. ft. What are we going to do with the excess, besides absorb the costs of heating, lighting and cleaning? Go into the rental business? If we are let's do it in Sechelt where we have two excellent tenants in dire need of space. As our architect points out, our useable space will cost us some $60-$70 per sq. ft. where we could build an attractive new building for $45- $50 per sq. ft., a saving of $60- $65,000 and a better facility. "A central office at Sechelt will make it much easier for staff and trustees to deal with the Board office���and for supervisory staff to cover the area for which they are responsible. The School Board action in expressing their intention to opt out of the Joint Facility may have been precipitate, but it has the desired effect. Originally the site was set, no argument���and then suddenly the site was not available and we were in a new ball game. Now a new site has been settled on by the Regional Board and Sechelt Council and we are invited to join them. I have inspected the site and am impressed. The site not only appears to be easy to develop, but is centrally located to the new highway by-pass, yet overlooking the marsh it will be a most pleasant situation which will not be spoiled by future construction.* Trustee Hodgins admitted the move to Sechelt would cause hardship for his constituency of Bowen Island but felt he must vote for what was best for the whole district, not just 'fur his small area. Chairman Douglas disagreed that the property suggested by Sechelt Council is accessible and said that although the Joint Office was a good idea he supported the motion to accept Gibson's offer because the Chatelech site had proven unsatisfactory and no other suitable site was available in Sechelt. A motion by Trustee Lloyd to accept the offer of the Village of Sechelt to join with them on a site next to the Bird Sanctuary didn't find a seconder.

November 13,1979 From Skelly in Ottawa Dogma endangers Canada by Raymond glully Tuesday, November 13, 1979 Is it possible that the particular vessel in which Canada is riding to economic disaster is called "dogma"? Within the past few months we have seen several event! that suggest blind ideology and unshakeable theories arc more important to the pcopli who presently run the Federal Government than are practical realities or the needs of Canadians. There is the case of Petro- Canada, a healthy corporation which maintains the only Canadian presence in a Canadian petroleum industry dominated by foreign companies, being dismantled and sold off. Why? Because the members of the Cabinet believe In the theory that the Government should not own business, Then there is the mm of the high, interest rate policy. In economic circles, thli is called "monetarism", the theory that the economy can be controlled by the Governmeni adjusting the Central Bank's prime lending rate and the supply of money. The Liberals believed [in that theory and attempted to control inflation by raising the lending rate. Now the Conser- ; vatives, armed with the ume dogma, are following the Liberal lead with a vengeance. Mas anyone noticed inflation going down as a result of these two governments following the dogma of monetarism? Recently, two noted Canadian economists, Arthur W. Donnerand DouglasD, Peters, produced a study entitled Hie Monetarist Counter Revolution tn which they argue Canada's current wave of "structural" inflation cannot be combined by the inefficient tool of tinkering with the prime lending rate. There are other alternatives, they argue, along with n.d.p. Finance Critic, liob Rae who has boon Hying in ih: House of Commons and klscwhem that thi Govern- rnenl's own high IMfgy price policy is a major contributor to inflation. Nonetheless, the Government continues to raise interest rates, presumably to fight inflation, and raise oil prices which contributes to inflation. Why? Because of dogma. In employee relations, the Government is on the same course. We have seen, in the case of the flight service and Coast Guard radio operators strike, Cabinet Ministers prepared to witness the safety of air travellers and mariners compromised to the point where supervisors actually were closing down aieports rather than risk having planes land at them. Why did this happen? Because the Cabinet Ministers held to the theory that one must be "tough" in dealing with public servants. By the same token, the Government has embarked on a program to cut 60,000 workers from the public service payroll. Why 60,000? Because it is a nice round number. It has a ring about it. And that is more important to those who hold to dogma than all the arguments about where these Deserted Bay The first weekend in November half of our group at Tsoh- Nye stayed to host an ex- Biology class from Centennial High School in Coquitlam. We did some hiking up the area and had a good time together, This week at Tsoh-Nye two Coast Guard men came up from Vancouver. They came Tuesday and left Thursday morning. When they came, they brought some life jackets and life suits. While they were up they really enjoyed their stay and that pleased all of us. The week was pretty good. Some of us did work around the camp, made some trails and cleaned the garbage pit. Next Sunday the parents are invited up for the day to visit the camp and see what it looks like. Bye.

Onbecomjnga Rover Ramblings of a Rover ���by Dee Cee a; Sometimes I wonder if all | writers or would-be writers not ; only suffer from amnesia but e are afflicted with, I don't know. 9 the medical term for it, a form 3 of mind wandering. In spite of e: all efforts, the mind will not ���; stay under its owner's control : but goes meandering and J wandering up side roads that e ultimately lead nowhere and e produce nothing constructive ; as regards what the writer ; intended to write about. I : should be interested to know if e I have a monopoly on this t peculiar affliction or is it : general among scribes of : whatever age or gender? All this preamble does 1 confirm one fact, however, and , that is "my secretary" is right��� ; I am too long-winded accord- t ing to her. Now don't get me ; wrong. She is a jewel ofa girl. ; In the Good Book it mentions ; somewhere that "a good wo- ; man is a pearl beyond price," . but it doesn't mention, as far as j I know;, what a good secretary : is worth. Recently I have ; discovered in the heirarchy of ; precious gems thut the emerald I is by far the tops in as much as !*- its worth is concerned and in r that respect is far more valu- e able than a diamond of equal : carat or size. So let us recognize '���; the logical conclusion���I have K an emerald for a secretary! She j; won't' like that as she doesn't like the colour green and I am sure would prefer to be called a ruby, but I am not going to go : for that as they can make f. synthetic rubies but not emer- ','��� aids. I see I have almost covered a ��� page and have yet to get to the e. point of what I was going to say * so I .had better get on with it. It :- is simply that just recently "my . secretary", who is also my jj critic, told me gently that not :-' only was I long-winded, but ;*.' pointed out to me in a practical '. way that at the rate I am going .'��� it' will be light years away i*efore I get this first venture ;" out into the world written ���', about and get on to my .'subsequent return to England, ;'��� my attempt to quieten down ;' and become a cable telegraph ���'. operator, how I emigrated to ���_. Canada, the depression years, t and so on. Putting it in a v nutshell, I have nearly sixty ���' years of living to write about ;: and, as she so succinctly puts it, I am not yet seventeen and have only reached Port Sudan! I suspect she isn't too keen to type out the accounts of my visits to brothels and I know she hates blasphemy so I will try and avoid both and, at the same time, be brief about this first trip to sea on the Norman Castle. With the arrival of a couple of British destroyers we left Port Sudan and our next stop was Aden, theat bleak and arid outpost of the British Empire at the extreme south end of the Red Sea. We stayed there very briefly and next rounded Cape Guardafui which was interesting to me as I had been told seriously that this was one of the last, if not the last, places in the world where there were cannibals. Had my shipmates told me this I would have thought they were "putting me on", but it was my brother Billy, who had been stationed at Aden for two years with the Eastern Telegraph Company, who imparted this information when he was home on leave and it certainly registered on me as I was still a schoolboy. I remember telling Mr. Cassie, the geography teacher, and he more or less confirmed the fact. There is one good thing I have to say about the Union Castle Line and that is they certainly not only fed the first class passengers in a sumptuous manner but the stewards who attended them were accorded the same treatment. In other words, whatever the passengers ate, we ate also, that is if there was any of that particular dish left over at the end of the meal. We had a very large galley, in fact it was actually two galleys adjoining, and there was so much food prepared and in such lavish quantities that it is almost criminal when one thinks of what was wasted. There were two drawbacks however, at least as far as I was concerned. Number one was that although we were permitted to heap our plates with all the left-over goodies, there was nowhere to sit down and eat it. We were not allowed to take it into the saloon nor to our quarters in the fo'c'sle, we had to stand or squat on our knees in the passageways and consume it there. I can truthfully say that during the five and a half to six months trip I never ate a meal sitting down, that is with the exception of the occasional trip to the sailors' quarters back aft, and then I didn't eat in their mess hall but out sitting on the hatch in front of their galley. This leads to my second complaint or the drawback I mentioned. One might wonder what I was doing eating with the crew back aft with all the' rich and expensive victuals provided for the first-class passengers available. The simple fact was that I, incredible as it may seem, didn't like their food. It was far too rich and exotic for my tastes and I wasn't used to it, nor did it agree with me. The hot and spicy curries, the rich and creamy sauces, the veal or chicken in aspic and the highly seasoned game dishes were entirely foreign to me. We never had anything like this at home although my Mother was the best cook in the world and my Father, with his grocery shop, provided everything she needed to feed her hungry brood. At home I had been used to good food but it was typically English cooking- roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, steak and kidney pie, hearty stews with the dumplings and so on, with maybe a pudding or pie with custard for dessert. I was not only bewildered by all this first-class fare but I didn't know the names of half of the dishes, nor did I care to. All I wanted was something in the way of food that reminded me of my Mother's cooking and this I found back aft in thc crews' quarters���the same plain not fancy food I was accustomed to���so that was why I preferred to eat there, sitting on the hatch and exchanging pleasantries with the sailors and firemen. I felt more at home there, they, rough mannered as some of them may have been, were a lot kinder and friendlier to me and I really appreciated their company and far preferred it to the stewards', both dining and cabin. The ship's "cook" as distinguished from the "chefs" in our galleys, went out of his way to be friendly with me and, let me hasten to add, there was no ulterior motive in his concern for my well being. I have forgotten his name after so many years but he was a fairly young man, around thirty years Coast News, November 13,1979 .17. Skelly's rescue report praised you did in regard to search and Comox-Powell River M.P. Raymond Skelly said today he is pleased to learn Transport Canada has accepted almost all recommendations made by him i n his report on air-sea search nnd rescue facilities on the West Coast. Last week Marine Transport Minister Robert Howie congratulated Skelly on the report when the Minister appeared before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transportation. "I want to take this opportunity to thank you, Mr. Skelly, for a very excellent report that rescue work," Howie said, "and I want to thank you publicly for your contribution and tell you that, with about two small exceptions, it has been favourably received in the Department and that there is forward motion in just about even recommendation made" Business The usual prize of $5.00 will be awarded to the first name drawn from the barrel with the correct location of the above.

Jorgensen who correctly located "the little shack that we aren't allowed to tie our horses up to" by the Halfmoon Bay Store. of age I would surmise, about six feet in height and built like a young Greek god. In the hot weather, after the meal was over, he would peel off his singlet and sit on the hatch alongside me and I marvelled at the rippling muscles along his arms and shoulders and wished mine were the same, I never achieved his physical perfection. However I did try to imitate him in later years by having myself tattoed���but only on my forearms���whereas he had them all over his arms, chest and back, decorated with brilliant designs in all colours and engraved, I am sure, in the many different ports he had visited during his seafaring life. I was fascinated by his stories and appearance and I thought even more of him when he gave our Fruit Steward, that bully Krastein, a thorough good hiding up on Number One hatch one night, and it didn't take him verv long either!
