Joel Johnstone photo Call for Nanoose base conversion Federal MP and peace group say military test base out of touch with the times ���f <mim svyn The military test base at Nanoose Bay near Parksville is out of step with recent changes in world political climate, say members of the Sunshine Coast Peace Committee, and could be put to better uses. In particular, the group would like to see the base become a station for monitoring the health of Georgia Strait and spearheading campaigns for environmental cleanup of coastal waters. To back up their point, Denise Lagasse and Teoni Spathelfer, two members of the peace group, last week presented local MP Ray Skelly wtih a petition signed by more than 500 people urging the federal government to convert the Nanoose base to a centre for environmental security. The centre could be used to train people, including military per- Ray Skelley, MP sonnel, to deal with oil spills, cleanup of toxic waste and the aftermath of natural disasters such as earthquake rescue, says The local peace group decided to concentrate efforts on the Nanoose "conversion campaign" because too much federal money is still going to outdated military programs, says Lagasse, while the quality of life on the Coast is in far greater danger from the effects of toxic waste and pollution in our waters. For every dollar spent on environmental programs, $12.30 is spent on the military, says Lagasse. "It's a question of defining what security is," she says, "and changing the definition of what should be protected." Skelly pointed out that the test range at Nanoose is run mainly as a service to Ihe Americans, who use it lo run trials on weapons from a torpedo works factory in Washington. Since it's likely the budget for Canadian forces will be chopped substantially in the near future, Skelly said it's important that a base like Nanoose be cut before vital services like coastal search and rescue. It is especially timely to put pressure on the government now, because the treaty with the Americans on use of the Nanoose base will come up for renewal within the next five years, Skelly said. This provides a chance to serve notice that the base will be shut down as a military operation. Skelly said he intends to present the petition from the local peace group to the federal environment minsiter in the House of Commons. Meanwhile, the group will present their own copy to base personnel during an annual peace vigil at the end of February. Lagasse said it's important to realize the focus of peace groups has changed in recent years, and that their concerns are now integrated with other groups, such as those fighting for environmental causes. "It's no longer just a question of ridding the world of nuclear hazards," she said. "It's about creating an alternative vision." 'This could become a money-making proposition' Jim Gurney New pollution standards are costly but attainable Environmental cleanup a cost of continuing to produce byJarwSeyd Tough new regulations on pulp mill pollution, which will cut in half the amount of chlorinated organics discharged in mill effluent by 1995, are atainable standards, say spokesmen for the three nearby coastal pulp mills. It's going to cost money - millions in the case of both MacMillan Bloedel's Powell River mill and Western Pulp's Woodfibre mill on Howe Sound. But increasingly, spending on pollution- control equipment is becoming a cost of business. - -- Last week, Environment Minister John Cashore announced Ihe government would be gelling tougher on pulp mills, by cutting ihe level of chlorinated organics (or AOX) allowed in pulp mill effluent form 2.5 kg per air dried tonne of pulp produced lo 1.5 kg in 1995. In addition, the mills mut eliminate the discharge of AOX completely by 2002. The last regulations set by the previous government in December of 1990 allowed a level of 2.5 kg of AOX to be discharged in effluent. At Western Pulp's Woodfibre mill on Howe Sound, where AOX levels on the government's last "report card" averaged 1.93 kg of chlorinated organics. Bill Remple, technical and ennvironment services manager, said the mill anticipated being able to reach the 1.5 level set for 1995 wilh additional spending of approximately $10 million. This is in addition to approximately $70 million spent on upgrading of pollution-control equipment in the last two years, which has included upgrading a chlorine dioxide generator and construction of a secondary treatment plant, scheduled to start operation later this year. Increased use of chlorine dioxide and secondary treatment are two of the more common ways coastal pulp mills have attempted to control pollution levels in their effluent in recent years. By using chlorine-dioxide rather than chlorine in their bleaching process, mills are able to produce pulp with much lower levels of chlorinated organics in their effluent. The other measure, secondary treat- Weil' research could lead to solutions' ment, involves a biological process to remove toxic and oxygen-consuming "organics" from effluent before discharging it into the ocean. For MacMillan Bloedel's Powell River pulp mill, the new 1995 regulations will mean spending about $40 million. Currently, the mill is one of the worst pollution offenders, averaging a discharge of 5.99 AOX during the last reporting period for 1991. To help correct that, a secondary treatment plant is now being constructed al the mill at a cost of $101 million, and a chlo- rine dioxide generator was started up in December. One of Ihe reasons the Powell River mill has such a bad pollution record is that until recently, the mill had no system for substituting chlorine dioxide for chlorine in its bleaching process. In addition, the mill has four outfalls, rather lhan the usual one or two, which has presented problems in "monitoring and troubleshooting," says spokesman Drew Kilback. The pulp mill is scheduled to meet the current 2.5 kg regulations by October of this year. But spokesmen for both the Powell River and Woodfibre mills were dubious about meeting a requirement for discharge of zero AOX from krafi chemical pulp mills within the decade. "We're not aware of any commercially viable process to achieve zero," said Kilback. "The zero is a big surprise to us, especially at this point in time when the industry isn't making any money at all. Whatever capital we can generate is going into secondary treatment." Remple also said the zero regulation would present "a much bigger problem" to the mill and would likely cost "well in excess of $100 million." Both companies agreed, however, that new industry research could lead lo solutions. "Any- thing's possible," said Remple, "they put men on the moon so 1 guess we can clean up the envion- ment...Fortunately, we have a few years lo look at the options." Meanwhile, the 1995 regulations won't be a turn to page 6 Following five blue-sky days one might liken to early spring, winter's rain returned with a two-day onslaught, dropping up to 40 mm Wednesday on some regions of the Coast, and another 20 to 40 mm Thursday. Joel Johnstone photo District eyeing quick route to dispatch system by Stuart UumtU* A "counter petition" may decide the fate of a Central Dispatch system for the Coast. The SCRD, including representatives from the municipalities, voted Thursday not to go lo a full referendum for a Central Dispatch in order to speed up the process. However, residents have the option of filing a counter petition if ihey are opposed lo funding the system. A counter petition, according lo SCRD administrator Larry Jar- dine, means if five per cent of voters on Ihe Sunshine Coast petition against the idea, a referendum becomes mandatory. If 50 per cent vote against il, the issue dies. The counter petilion was decided on because it is Ihe fastest way to set up a Central Dispatch system, barring a negative vote. Jardine suggested the gamble was worthwhile in the interest of saving time. He acknowledged the risk of a counter petition, but was optimistic the public would accept the idea. "Any lime you seek voter assent there is an element of risk," Jardine said, "but I believe this is generally accepted as something that is needed on the Sunshine Coast." Both Sechell and Gibsons agreed that the system should treated as a district- wide service, with the Coast treated as a single unit. The highest possible cost of Central Dispatch, according lo director Jim Gurney, would be 35 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value over 10 years. That amount would include the purchase of equipment al $300,000, and ongoing operation costs pegged at $250,000 annually. f It was pointed oul that the cost of Ihe present dispatch network on lite Coasl would drop after central dispatch was installed, bringing the overall price down. As well, Gurney said Ihe ambulance service and police would probably enter into ihe dispatch service once it was running and would pay to participate. "This could become a money-making proposition," Gurney said. The board voted unanimously lo use Ihe counter-petition method and will begin advertising thai intent in Ihe near future. Wilh a counter petition, signing posts will be established at key areas of ihe Coasl and residents will have 30 days if Ihey wish to voice lo voice opposition and force the issue to a full, district-wide referendum. Sechelt woman identified as murder victim Members of the Sechelt Indian Band reacted with shock and sadness last week as a 26-year- old woman originally from the band community was identified as Vancouver's latest murder victim. The body of Cheryl-Ann Joe, who moved between Vancouver and her family's home in Sechell, was found wrapped in a blanket Monday morning near a loading dock in the downtown eastside of the cily. Joe's family in Sechell was still in shock from the news, said members of the band, who added that the whole community was very upset about the tragic event. According to reports, Joe was last seen by her family late Saturday night in Vancouver. But Joe did not return to her Vernon Street home as expected. Her body was found in the 1800-block of Powell on the easlside, where she sometimes worked as a prostitute. At press lime, a Vancouver man had been charged with first-degree murder, following a police investigation. Brian William Frederick Allender, 36, of 2831 E. Broadway has been accused of the killing.

Joel Johnstone photo Ocean outfall required by Stuart h-rnside "We're probably looking al an ocean outfall for lhal treatment plant" director Jim Gurney told the SCRD board Thursday when addressing a failing seplic field in the Wood- creek subdivision of Area E. The subject came up in a letter to ihe regional district from a new property owner to the Woodcreek subdivision, who reported finding septic field runoff at the rear of his properly- Gurney explained that the Woodcreek subdivision had its own sewage treatment facilities that were installed at a time when the SCRD didn't necessarily assume control. He said Ihe developer had installed the system under guidelines of the Ministry of Environment, but those s)andards were inadequate and there wasn't enough land for Ihe seplic field now that the subdivision was approaching capacity. Gurney said an ocean outfall to deal with the sewage coming from the subdivisionwas Ihe only feasible solution. He pointed out that the area likely to house the outfall (off Chaster Creek) was one of the besl locations on the Coast for such purposes. Gurney said il would probably also be necessary to provide ocean outfall for the trailer court neighbouring Wood Creek because a similar septic problem had developed there. A letter will be sent to the Ministry of Environment from Ihe SCRD apprising ihem of the situation, but Gurney isn't optimistic about Ihe response the letter will evoke. "It's not our problem," Gurney told board members. "But it will become our problem. We'll be the ones that have to clean il up."

Royal Vancouver and Royal Victoria, ate currently doing trial runs in the Georgia Strait "You could spol them any day," said marketing manager Norm Slowe. He noted a decision on possible commuter service lo the Sun shine Coasl is some way off. "The company is looking very aggressively at Natiaiino," Slowe said. "If we were deciding today, that would be the next place " Royal Sealink has invested $20 nullum on its opening venture on the West Coasl, expecting its 302-seat vessels to run at about 25 |K-r cent capacity within three months, and hoping that number will swell to between SO and 60 per cent within a year Decisions on expanding service to other routes will hinge on the accuracy of those projections, Slowe said. The high-tech catamarans, which travel at speeds up to 35 knots, cost about $K million apiece. Slowe said Natiaiino and the Sunshine Coast could be serviced by one additional vessel, because lite Coast would warrant only a commuter run weekdays. * THIS WEEK'S SPECIALS' AT ANDY'S MONDAY DINNER SPECIAL $8.95 with appetizer $10.95 TUESDAY PIZZA TO GO Order an" sir1 and receive IKKK a Muslirmni rv I'eppernin same size 1 lam 10pm WEDNESDAY PRIME Ml NIGHT 3 ��� 10pm THURSDAY PASTA 10% OFF All entrees Substitute lasattna nr Spaghetti IKKK SUNDAY BUFFET BRUNCH Adults S8JS ��� Children $11 Seniors SKIHI 1 lam L' lupin ���j kan'oys + Ihe Key to Success. ��� Gibsons ��� 886-2622 1 Sechell ��� 885-3930���> Ferry-goers are using Langdale's single-loading ramp while maintenance continues on the double. Fraser River Pirege, the contractor, used this crane to lift the upper ramp edge on to a waiting barge for shipping to the repair shop. Joel Johnstone photo Residents question BC Ferries' Langdale parking by Stuart Burnside SCRD directors and concerned citizens had the chance Thursday to question BC Ferry representatives on the expansion of parking al the Langdale terminal. "There seems to be a breakdown of communication in terms of what plans are for the Langdale parking area," BC Ferries' project engineer told those gathered in the SCRD board room. Engineer David Carroll said concerns had been raised about the quality of a proposed 484- vehicle lot, designed to replace the existing parking facilities. He said some people were under the impression the new lot would be gravel, which would create dust in hot weather and mud when it rains. Carroll explained that the parking project will be constructed in two stages, the first stage seeing the land cleared and a gravel parking lot put in place. Funding for the first stage has been approved from this year's fiscal budget, bul not for the second stage, which would see Ihe parking lot paved and landscaped. Carroll said there should be no problem getting second-phase funding in the next fiscal year because "everyone recognizes Ihe need." He noted that the first stage ��� would go to tender Jan. 27, with work expected to begin in early March. According to Carroll, the new parking lot would be built on eight and a half acres of recently purchased property that butts against the existing Ferries' properly on the Port Mellon side. The existing parking, both public and BC Ferries staff areas, have to he moved lo accommodate the new Gibsons bypass. Another major area of con cern from those present at the meeting was the distance from the ferry the new parking arrangements would place commuters or handicapped people. Area F resident Eric Cardinall won support of those present by suggesting the new parking area be "flopped" with the vehicle holding area. If il were flopped, the new parking area would be used lo hold cars waiting to board Ihe ferry and Ihe present vehicle holding lot be converted for parking. "It would bring people closer lo the ferry," Cardinall pointed out. Alternate director Cy O'Leary agreed with Cardinall. "To date, all the emphasis has been on moving cars," O'Leary said, "...There will come a time when that priority will change dramatically and the emphasis will lie on moving people." O'Leary pointed out that there would be an even greater demand for close ferry parking if a passenger-only ferry was put in place. The only area such a ship could dock, according to Carroll, was between the two existing docks for the larger ferries, making the present holding area ideal for parking, as Cardinall suggested. Carroll agreed the suggestion was valid. .He said the BC Ferries had discussed the possibility of "flopping" the parking area with the traffic holding area but decided not to. He couldn't recall the reason for not flopping the two areas, although he said it might have had something to do wilh Highways' plans for Ihe intersection where the bypass will connect wilh Highway 101. Carroll said it was possible, since no work had been done on the intersection, (hat plans could be changed and the passenger parking area located closer to the ferry. He said the malter ' would be discussed. He pointed out, however, thai work on the new area would begin without that decision being made.

January 27, 1992 opinion Shift in priorities is long overdue Canada's pathetic lapdog attitude to US military interests has become tiresome in the extreme. News that the U.S. Navy has no intention of giving warning when its nuclear submarines pass through the Canadian waters of Dixon Entrance on their way to a new test range in Alaska is just the latest insult to safety Bnd sovereignty in BCs coastal waters. Fishermen, already on tenterhooks because of gunboat antics In the U.S. Coast Guard patrolling Dixon Entrance seizing Canadian vessels with itnpiignity - now face the added risk of nuclear subs wending their way through the tiding grounds. It\ a risk the U.S. military has persistently downplayed, stressing the safely of its nuclear-powered vessels tit sea. Hut it's a risk nonetheless -one no longer justifiable b) outdated cold war rationalizations, especially given the potential for devastating consequences of a nuclear mishap. Why put our already threatened coastal waters further at risk'.' Over on Vancouver Island, the Nanoose Conversion Campaign has been striving for years to rid the Georgia Strait tit this threat, pursuing its goals of converting the Nanoose maritime lest range to an environmental/educational use. The Sunshine Coast Peace Group took up the cry this week in a timely petition delivered to Comox-Powell River MP Ray Skelly. With Ottawa preparing to make some significant cuts to its defence budget, Nanoose ought to be a prime target - the base exists almost entirely to serve US naval interests. A change in priorities is overdue. The peace group is tightly emphasizing the need to reinterpret the meaning of "seem ity" in these waters, moving away from its association with passe military manoeuvres and focusing on such needy ureas as search ami rescue, oil spill and environmental clean-up. It's long past time Ottawa, facing a burgeoning deficit, cut bases like Nanoose and followed through on worthwhile Green Plan initiatives - such as Fraser River cleanup ami estuary preservation. There's a role for provincial and local government to play as well. The provincial NDP has espoused the goal of making BC a nuclear-free zone, and local municipal governments have spoken up on the issue in the past. ��� Now is a good time to be serving notice. Ottawa needs a sharp change in thinking from its continuing weak- kneed approach to sovereignty of the BC coast. Judging from the latest submarine shenanigans, that will take some time. Pragmatists' waltz Much is being made that the premiers of Ontario and B.C. are taking different tacks on their provinces' problems. It has hard to understand why. : Only the most blinkered and bigoted would expect uniformity of approach from the New Democratic Party. }-rom its inception Canada's third party has sought the careful middle ground of pragmatism so dear to Canadian hearts, if illusory. Harcourt and Rae are facing dramatically different problems which will require different solutions. We should accept that and wish them both luck for the country's sake.

How else could one describe the highway proposed to run through the middle of the last surviving and viable farmland on the Sunshine Coast? This 'major road' from Roberts Creek to Sechelt would cut through the heart of the farms on Tyson and Blower Roads in Wilson Creek and is totally unnecessary. I can't wait for the public information meeting Wednesday, Jan. 29, 7:30 pm at the Senior Citizens Hall (5691 Mermaid Street, Sechelt), to get answers to some questions: ��� Why will there eventually be three or four major highways along this edge of Ihe Coast? Why not just gel lo work on the bypass highway along the pow-^ erlines which everyone already agreed to? ��� If the existing Sunshine Coast Highway is supposedly dangerous then why don't we fix it? This would certainly be a saving of the taxpayers money. And are the business people who are situated along the existing highway going to be happy about having traffic diverted from them? ��� For whose benefit would this additional highway be? If the trucking companies and people going to Powell River are in a hurry they could take the 'powerline' route. Others, in paricular tourists, could take the scenic 101, stopping along the way. Why would we need another highway in between these two? ��� Do the people of Selma Park and Davis Bay know there will be a highway going through their backyards? Why would these woodlands be needlessly destroyed and spawning creeks put al additional risk? Likewise, do the people of Roberts Creek know if this will continue through their backyards? This highway sounds like a bad dream but it could become a reality unless we let Sechelt council know how we feel. Those who wish to support the preservation of our farmland and semi-rural lifestyle on the Coast, please come to the above mentioned meeting, view the map at Sechelt municipal hall, phone or write to your Sechelt councillors and mayor and talk lo vour neighbours about his. MARIA HUNTER Wilson Creek Environmental types miss point Local environmentalists who recently took exception to my criticism of the Caren Range 'Educational Report' have missed the point. It may well be that areas like the Caren are worthy of protection from further logging. I do not know nor is it for me, the forest industry, the Friends of Caren or the Western Canada Wilderness Committee to decide. It is our elected officials, acting on our behalf, who have that responsibility. The issue here is not so much one of land use. but of credibility and fair representation of the facts.

RPF Sechelt Salmon habitats need protection The continued decline of coho salmon in Georgia Strait had many people concerned this summer. Cited among various reasons is the destruction of spawning habitat. This should be of patic- ular interest to those of us on the Sechelt Peninsula. For two years now the salmon hatchery on Lions Creek has been flooded. In one case 150,000 coho eggs and fry were destroyed. Heavy siltation caused by snow waters melting and rushing down clearcut areas in the Caren Range undermined salmon enhancement efforts. Trees help to regulate the melting of snow and their root systems prevent soil erosion. Protecting the Lions Creek watershed is not only protecting ancient trees but also ocean resources and fishing jobs. And tell me what will happen to the eagles and whales if the salmon don't return. D. LAGASSE Halfmoon Bay. BC Has US free trade deal put Canada in the soup pot? "I tell you. young fellow, if there is one thing you don't have to work at developing as the years go by. it is a sense of the absurd." said Jake as he expertly chopped up some vegetables and added them to the soup pot from which the smell of a savoury stock was already enriching the air in Jake's cottage. Outside there was a January day which was a January day From the Pacific the clouds had blown in and settled over the Coast Mountains Squalls of rain gusted across the bay and across the gra\ wet landscape and hammered against the windows. "Frances." I had said to my wife as I gloomily surveyed the dreariness outside, "this weather is as bad as Newfoundland in August," and went down the beach hunched against weather to see what the oldlitrier was up to. He was preparing a huge sixteen quart pot of soup, vegetable with a lamb stock he told me tersely when 1 enquired about the contents of the giant pot. I watched him idly for a while. The chopping of vegetables and their addition was one of the last steps in the process. I gathered. "What exactly did you have in mind. Jake?" 1 enquired lazily, dividing my atttenlion between the oldtimer's kitchen activities, the gusts of storm outside his window, and Ihe heat from his wood stove. Jake was prone lo these pronouncements after period of silence and usually was not loth to elaborate, though occasionally he would let the observa- musings john burnside lion lapse into oblivion He usually needed little prodding to hold forth and I had always held him lo be well worth listening to "I have in mind." said Jake, dumping a colander of mixed vegetables into the soup stock and stirring emphatically throughout the next part of Ihe conversation, "that pompous, self satisfied and despicable old fogie, Mr. Simon Reisman." "Ah," I said. "The latest developments in the Canada-United Stales Free Trade Deal have left you somewhat dissatisfied, then?" Jake glared at me through the steam of his simmering soup. "There are no developments in the Free Trade Deal," said Jake. "We have given the Americans, from the goodness of our heart, equal access to our energy resources in perpetuity. They have accepted this traditional generosity on our part, then haven't got everything lhat they wanted they are now proposing to put the economic boots to us as though the FTA had never been proposed, let alone negotiated and agreed to. "No, it is Reisman himself I find offensive. He swaggered around chomping on his cigar like some kind of curate, peacetime Winston Churchill whilst the deal was being negotiated. He heaped scom on anyone who had some misgivings and treated Ihe majority of thinking people in this country as though they were congenital idiots, all Ihe while cursing and posturing outrageously lo indicate thai Simon was a fearless and unconventional giant of a man, unlike the rest of us whimpering lambs. "Now what the rest of us were whimpering about was that the Free Trade Deal was an afterthought of the Trudeau Liberals, seized upon with enthusiasm by the Mulroney Tories who came to power bankrupt of ideas and who have gone downhill consistently ever since. "If the hasty, hybrid, and patched up nature of the proposal was not enough, there is a long Canadian tradition of giving away the store everylime we have dealings with the Americans. Last election more than half of Canadians instinctively shied away from the deal despite Reisman's often abrasive and arrogant contempt for the deal's opponents. "Then, as the march of the political incompetents continued, Liberals and the NDP succeeded in cancelling themselves out in sufficient numbers so thai their mutual opposition to the FTA was negated. The Tories wanted the free trade deal, a minority wanted the Tories, but the political incompetence of the opposition parties allowed the election of the Mulroneyiies and the completion of a deal which no majority of Canadians ever want- td. "Now the damn thing isn't working, hundreds of thousands of Canadians have lost their jobs and old Simon, crusty as a pieman could wish, is calling Americans "bastards' became they are able lo take advantage of a deal that Surly Simon negotiated and are taking advantage of it fully, since Canadians seem to he the only people left in the world that Americans can outnegotiate "From beginning to end it is what Reisman might call 'a balls up'. The trouble is Simon's colourful language doesn't change the facts that he negotiated a deal and rammed it. with Mulroney s help and aided by the incompetence of the opposition, down the throats of the Canadian people." For the time being, Jake seemed content with the contents of his giant soup pot. He poured me a cup of lea and one for himself. Grateful as I was for the warm sweet tea. it was the savoury smell of Ihe soup pot which had won my attention. "That soup smells wonderful," I said meaningfully. "It does indeed." said Jake.

Jo-Anne Sheanh your comtnunit) s AWARD-WINNING new spaper '& Coast News, January 17, VW1 opinion Taking the pulse of the nation in EEE in a nutshell s. nutter Some time before, like 20 years before the current almighty kerfuffle about the unity of the country and so forth, 1 set out lo do a criss-cross of the great bosom of Canada with the modest intention of taking the pulse of the small towns. This, 1 hasten to say, was not one of my own grandiose ideas. At Ihe lime I was living quite snugly and quietly in Vancouver wilh Joe and Virginia Austin at a place called Holly Lodge, where we chatted. 10 around a kitchen table with Marc and Susan Strange, about a possible TV series to be called 'The Beachcomber'. I began getting telephone calls, long distance from Toronto, from an erstwhile friend we may call Robcr Glenlivet. Glenlivet had put together a deal. A two-pronged deal. On Ihe one hand the managing editor of the Toronto Star had agreed lo take his material if he travelled on his own dough, back and forth across the country, taking ihe pulse of the small towns. On the other, he had a deal with a solid southern Manitoba outfit who were building a replica of the Winnebago called the Triple EEE. They would give him one of these for Ihe time needed at a minimal rent if il were lo be featured and pictured in the anicles. He wanted me along for whatever reason (he knew I didn't drive) and it was certainly noi for my cooking (we had shared an apartment in Toronto once before). He said I could research a documentary on Ihe subject and do radio stuff, etc. He was picking up the EEE in Winnipeg, at the first annual meeting of the company, and eventually I said I would meet him there and we could try it out as far as Edmonton. He made a graceful speech to the salespeople etc., implying that the EEE would become a symbol of Canadian unity, and we took off. Unfortunately he managed lo put a considerable gouge in the side of the thing as we backed out of the parking lot. We were supposed to go south, lo Ihe factory and get checked out on the complexities of it all, bul he was shy of this with his initial gouge and all, and we went north to Victoria Beach and a western historian I knew. Glenlivet was reasonably known as a magazine writer. He had done a series of lead articles for the Star Weekly on the capital cities of Canada, bul he didn't really know much of what was in between. When we look him out in the morning and showed him Lake Winnipeg he was stunned. Here was this sea billowing away where the prairie was supposed to be. He rattled off a first article and read it to Tilson, the editor, from a wayside phone booth. He came back looking a hit dashed. Tilson had lold him that most Canadians knew about this from about grade five. Glenlivet perhaps had simply risen in the business too fast. A child of the depression, he delivered papers before school and buns after on his bike for a bakery. He was the youngest copy boy at the Globe, then its youngest reporter. The youngest on the Canadian Press and then the youngest producer with the CliC. Never time lo really get his feet on the ground and take a look around. He did a lively interview with Manitoba's brand-new premier (Lyons); in the vehicle parked at the, legislature steps; and this did something 1 guess to re-credible-ise the venture We turned west and pushed on with no particular schedule. The plan was to follow the northern highway to Edmonton (with delours), and then press on through Ihe mountains lo lotus land before anything really serious happened lo the winter. Coming back, in Ihe spring right? All those small towns on the Coast there and on the Island having had their pulses taken, we would go through Calgary and on, on to the Maritimes... It was, of course, pretty ridiculous. Where do you look for this pulse of the small town? You see ihe mayor and various others, get steered lo a couple of characters, pick up something of the special history, and you go, or at least 1 do. to the local pub and chat it up. But the 'pulse' seems more and more lo be a more global thing. Glenlivet, which didn't surprise me, turned out not to be much of a grassroots man. 1 was of course, doing some driving and once, when he was asleep, I reached the outskirts of North Batlleford. There was a pub and a wide parking space. I snuggled the beast in, put the latch on the door and left. He would know where to find me. The pub was lull of Indians, and these 1 noticed were all palicular- ly large ones. 1 was lite only not-one. but this seemed OK. It was a genuine shock to Glenlivet, however, when he eventually came lo, to find his observer or whatever swapping beers wilh a war-party of the Bloods. 1 left ihe prairie schooner the day after we got to Edmonton and returned quite happily lo Holly Lodge. All 1 could say about the pulse was that there seemed lo be one there alright. Nothing of much interest to the Spicer Commission. !KatHie's 'Ekctroiosis IS RELOCATING ��� Moving to Axana-Dew on Feb 10th in the Wilson Creek Plaza Mate an appointment now (or your complimentary lr> mi'n, consultation with treatment No < barge /ot filament Same private, relaxing atmosphere.

Recently the need for these changes became horrifyingly evident as I read the daily paper. On Jan. 7, the front page story in the province was all about Ihe reduction of sentences for three drunken drivers. Justice Josiah Wood had the audacity to say that, "The Criminal Justice System alone cannot be expected to solve deeply rooted and profoundly complex social problems." Well, I say it's a good place to start! The highest court in BC slashed jail terms by as much as two-thirds for people who, in my opinion, are cold blooded killers. If you gel behind the wheel of a car after drinking it is no different than holding a loaded gun lo someone's head. On Jan. 9, the front page story dealt with the unusually severe punishments handed out lo teens who participated in the riot at the July Peach Festival in Penticton. One judge described the act as "monstrous and despicable." Crown prosecutor Vernon Frolick said, "The sentences are severe, but of necessity they have to be. The message has to get out lhat rioting is an act that won't be tolerated." As a mother of three I am deeply concerned about the message thai this sends to my children. They are growing up in a society thai reduces sentences for horrifying dimes, saying severe punishments are not necessary or deterrents for criminals, while at the same lime decides mischievous teens will not Ik tolerated. 1 sincerely hope that the worst trouble any of my children will get into as young adults will be to kick a newspaper box over one night. Although they might as well drink and drive and kill some one...the punishments are about the same! Mr. Wilson, where are you?

Hughes said the total upgrading of the mill was an integral part of that process, which is part of the reason why mills operating on outdated technology are having to spend more money to meet the new regulations. "If we just added thai equipment to the old mill, we would have spent a lot more than $114 million," said Hughes. "In fact. 1 don't think we could have done it, no matter how much money we spent." At the same time they're spending money on pollution control equipment, all coastal mills are now carefully gauging the development of markets for chlorine-light pulp and paper. Currently, there is a strong but narrow market for these products in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, but predicting the expansion of that market is a real judgement call, Hughes says. While concern about diox- ins and furans - which are specific and highly toxic types of chlorinated organics - has been expressed in North America for some time, only recently has the issue of more general AOX lev els been brought up. Currently, HSPP produces a low-chlorine pulp which is guaranteed not to result in more than .3 kg of AOX in the effluent using small amounts of chlorine dioxide and hydrogen peroxide in the bleaching process. But Hughes said the resulting product is only semi- bleached, which restricts its use in some finished products. Spokesmen for all three mills, however, agreed consumer markets would likely eventually play an even greater role than government in regulating what levels of pollution are unacceptable. Said Remple: "I guess in the final analysis, Ihe marketplace is dictating a lot of this." New mill regulations overdue: Terry Jacks Cry me a river - an unpolluted river. That's the reaction of local Environmental Watch founder Terry Jacks to the millions of dollars now being spent by coastal mills on pollution control in order to meet lough new government regulations. While he agrees the new guidelines for pollution control are a big step forward, Jacks says the money now Iieing s|ient is the least the mills can do, now thai pollution has already caused expansion of fishing and shellfish closures in waters throughout Georgia Strait. "We have to weigh the real cost of what pollution could do to our air and water with how much it's going to cost to fix it," he says. Jacks also points to the large proportion of pollution caused hy mills, compared to other sources, as evidence that it's about lime the pulp mills cleaned up their act. According lo one report, 58.9 percent of all liquid toxic waste thai goes into Coastal waters is from pulp mills, he says, while sewers only account for 19 per cent. Jacks adds that it's no good for mills lo go "crying the blues" because of Ihe recession. "These mills had three and a half years of record profit-making," he says, "They were aware of what was going on. Cashore talked about this a year and a half ago. They should have been preparing for it," While he welcomed the new regulations, Jacks also said it was time to get rid of varying standards for pulp mills, whereby deadlines for meeting pollution regulations differ between mills. "The mills have little deals with the government," he said. "One mill may look like it's in compliance and the other mill is out of compliance, bul the mill that's in compliance is polluting worse than the other one. We can't have these double standards." glbsons notes UPTOWN REVITALIZATION A letter from Robin Glencoe, Minister of Municipal Affairs, informed council the town is eligible for grant of up to $ 10,000 to cover half the cost of revitalization of the uptown business section of Gibsons.

Charles Hart photo Gibsons youth injured in fall from tree fort by Charles Hart A 12-year-old Gibsons hoy is lucky to In- alive alter falling from a tree furl and nearly hanging himself on rope that was dangling from the platform. Gibsons RCMP Cpl Bruce Waite saiil ihe accident occurred Fri day, Jan. 17 when two hoys were playing after school at a vacant properly on Martin Road. "One of Ihe young lads jumped off the tree fori and one of the ropes became tangled around his neck," Waite said. The other boy had the presence of mind to run for help iniinedi alley and quickly returned with Ihe victim's father, who managed lo extricate his son and get him hrealhing again The injured boy, whose name was not released by the RCMP, was rushed by air ambulance to Children's Hospital in Vancouver where he remains in stable condition. Police did not know the extent of the hoy's injuries. Waite said the ropes have been removed from ihe Iree fort, which he said stands about eight feel off the ground. He did not know who owns ihe land, an undeveloped lot overgrown wilh brush and brambles. The injured boy is a student al Gibsons Elementary, where students and leachtsrs learned of Ihe accident Monday. "It certainly shook the school a little bit," said principal Stuarl Hercus. Staff talked lo the boy's class and explained that the incident was an accident, which helped the students cope with the news. Hercus noted the school is constantly reminding children about safety: arranging special talks by crosswalk supervisors, bus drivers, the RCMP Safety Bear and Ihe fire department. The school also has a conflict resolution program whose focus is teaching children to think before acting or reading.

Sechelt aid. Joyce Kolibas again approached the SCRD, in her capacity as a director on the board, to ask if there is any possibility of the District of Sechelt receiving aid in funding the skating rink. Kolibas said she hadn't understood a motion made at a previous meeting in response to a plea for funding help by Sechell, and she now wanted a "clear" response. At thai meeting, SCRD director Jim Gurney responded lo Sechelt's funding request by saying all Coastal governments should unite under one authority which would administer all government services. At Thursday's meeting, Gumey said the SCRD had no function to fund the arena. He said the logical regional district area to be taxed for arena funds, Area B, didn't have the population to support the amount of taxes needed. Kolibas noted that many of the arena's users come from outside Sechelt's boundaries and suggested regional district areas other than just Area B be asked to chip in. Director and Mayor of Gibsons, Eric Small, expressed sympathy for Sechelt's plight and agreed that other areas, even his town, should be approached for help with arena funding. He said the matter should be turned over to regional district staff for input and suggestions. His suggestion was agreed to by the other directors. Maverick cuts hinge on response from community Maverick Coach Lines' application to reduce bus service between Sechell and Ihe Lower Mainland could be turned down by the Motor Carrier Commission if enough people object to the proposed reduction in service. Licensing manager Paul Starek said Wednesday Ihe commission has a mandate to ensure there is transportation available in all outlying areas of the province. Before making changes, Ihe commission will look at the economics of existing service, the potential affect on the community and the alternatives available. "Approval or disapproval is based on whatever Ihe response from Ihe community is," said Starek, noting Ihe commission had so far received only two letters of complaint about Ihe proposed Sechelt reduction. Both local municipal councils have taken issue with Maverick's plan lo cut the 7:20 a.m. bus from Sechelt and the 4:30 p.m. return bus from Vancouver. Alarmed residents, particularly seniors needing medical treatment in Vancouver, are also voicing their opposition.

SCRD joins opposition to Maverick service cuts The regional district has added its voice to those protesting proposed cuts to Maverick bus service. A letter from Maverick Coach lines, received at Thursday's SCRD meeting, notified the board of the company's plans to cut its 7:20 am and 4:30 pm Coast runs. "This is a very inopportune time for Maverick to be trying to get out of a portion of their contract," said director Jeremy Frith. He pointed out that the provincial government was holding up shipment of an additional transit bus and the future of the Gibsons bus was in question. A letter will be sent to Maverick arguing against diminishing service on the basis that the Coast is growing and that the inter-city service provided by the company was needed on Ihe Coasl. According lo director Jim Gurney, the bus company feels it is losing money on its freight business by continuing with the aforementioned runs. The company has also cited growing competition on the Coasl for passenger service as a reason to discontinue a portion of its service. Gumey said the SCRD's letter should stress that continuation of service be a condition of Maverick keeping its franchise on the Coast. wgMsmejs Replaced ��� Quality workmanship guaranteed I ��� Replacements guaranteed against leakage for the life of the vehicle fi0|^9flf^Cf juQflRrVA, ���\ ��� Latest state of the art * I quality stone chip repair ' \ ��� All ICBC repairs are no ���' charge to the customer FAST, FRIENDLY SERVICE, ASK FOR DAN, THE WINDSHIELD MAN' ask for "Murphy" IdjgllgUI & ALUMINUM 706 HWY 101.

VON 1V0 rjj|----aji Anglican church holds open house Congregations invited to "show their spirit" to community Anglican churches on the Sunshine Coast will he holding services Feb. 2 lo help newcomers discover what the church is all about. "I beleive Ihe church can help people face ihe anxieties, stresses and tensions of modern life creatively," said Archbishop Douglas Hambidge as he challenged his people to go out and invite family, friends and neighbours to the special services. "It can help people look again al the priorities forced on them by society and help them decide if those are the priorities they indeed want." The local initiative is pari of a Decade of Evangelism being observed by Anglicans around the world. The one-to-one invitations are backed by the Show your Spirit advertising program in community newspapers. The 70 congregations observing Invitation Sunday will be offering followup educational courses for those who come to church and wish lo explore in greater depth what the Christian faith has to offer.

Joel Johnstone photo davls bay news by Jo-Anne Sheanh, 88S-3628 While shuffling through the bookcase the other day, 1 came across the old faced scrap book that had belonged to my mother. It had been cached away on the bottom shelf, more or less forgotten. Her name is written in her tiny, cramped handwriting (Ihe result of being rapped over the knuckles as a child in school because she was left-handed, the reasoning being that eventually she would become letter perfect with her right) and under her name was the date 1934. What memories that old book evoked and yes, even some tears, as 1 gently turned those old, dry crinkly pages. Mother was an avid reader, hence all her entries are clippings from newspapers, magazines, etc. They range from famous speeches, favourite stories, and her first love, poetry. They are all pasted helter skelter through the book, which gives them a unique charm Of King George V and Charles Dickens On the first page, there is a picture of King George V giving his last message to the people; followed by 12 chapters of a story by Charles Dickens printed in 1934; a chilli's bedtime story; more articles and then, finally, the poetry...ah the gardening notes poetry! She loved a Canadian poet named Edna Jaques who was known as the scrapbook poet and is lovingly writtten up by Nellie McClung, who said "she is such a poet, writing every day the things she sees and feels." My mother identified so strongly with the things Edna Jaques wrote about, the simple life she led, the compassion she had for people; she was able to express life as it was in the '30s without making it dreary or depressing. The scrap book's pages are full of these wonderful poems of inspiration. Wonderful Memories When mother was living her last weeks of life, she asked me to bring her scrap book to the hospital and read to her at night. Many a night I sat by her bedside reading her beloved poems, evoking for her, wonderful memories of years gone by. One day this precious book will be handed down to our granddaughters, who 1 know will treasure it and will be Ihe richer for the contents. If you have a scrap book or family bible or even an old photo album in your possession, please take time this week to sit down and look at it...there is no substitute for sweet memories of old. by Marguerite Welcome to newcomers to the Coast, especially gardeners. We are very fortunate: the weather is mild though very wet at limes. I see snowdrops are nearly through in some warm areas. Garden catalogues are available to select seeds, and make our garden plans for the year. The address list is at the library. Some annual flower seeds can be started by Feb. 15 indoors on a windowsill or in a greenhouse. They need heat, light, moisture and good drainage, with a mixture of sieved, mature compost, soil, peal, sand and superphosphate. Ordinary garden soil is not suitable for a seed growing medium, as too many weed seeds and organisms are present. Most seeds need a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees for good germination. Some seeds are fine as dust, so try mixing with soft, dry silver sand. It makes them easier lo handle. Leave on top of the soil - the larger the seed, the deeper in planting. Label for date, name and colour. Cover with glass, bag or paper. Turn each day, remove the cover when seedlings are through, and keep out of draughts. Do we have any volunteers who would like to be pari of a work party to beautify Pioneer Park occasionally? It needs ten der loving care, and It's in Ihe centre of Gibsons. We need to enhance our beauty spots, so phone 886-9527 if you can help. Friendly I 'irunlry Lenirm c Roberts, Creek Letifflt BroohfXlB Fri. & Sat. Night Dinners Are Back!

That means that sometime during the month of February, a volunteer will call on you to ask for a donation for the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation.

INFt)r��Jv*ATION Call :886-2078 or 885-7259 by Ruth Formtar, HM41I Hall Happenings Took my firsl look at Welcome Beach Community Hall the other day lo see how things are coining along wilh Ihe renovations and was amazed at Ihe difference. The hall is now much bigger, two really nice toilets are in place and are wheelchair accessible, as is the whole facility. The new kitchen is a dream come true for all the ladies who spend so much time there making dinners for various functions throughout Ihe year. Two new stoves and a microwave, a new fridge and lots of cupboard space. Two faithful members were busy at work cleaning up and sorting out dozens of dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, etc., all of which had lo be washed as there is white dust everywhere, mostly from the sanding operations. Grace Latnont and Marion Terrillon, although up to the eyes in this task, were delighted to show off all the new items, and are enthusiastically looking forward to the time when ah official open house can be arranged for everyone lo come and see Ihe new hall. Volunteers Still Needed In the main hall, a group of volunteer men were busy hauling down old fixtures to feed a bonfire of waste materials at the back of the hall. I am sure these volunteer helpers would be happy lo have some more willing hands come along to help with all die work which still has to be done. If you would like to contribute some work time you could give Franz Erber a call at 885-4590, or Marion Terrillon at 885-5270. A reminder too that membership payments are now due at three dollars per person and can be mailed lo Marion Terrillon at Box 30, Wildwood Site, RR1, Halfmoon Bay. New members are always welcome and former members are urged to rejoin as soon as possible to help out wilh Ihe needed membetship funds. Irene Is Fine It was quite some time since I had seen former Redrooffs resident Irene Duff.so it was such a pleasure to meet her in Ihe mall and have a chat. Irene now lives at Greenecourt and is still as active as ever, helping arrange social functions and making handicrafts for fundraising events. Over the Christmas holiday she spent about a week at Harrison Hot Springs and thoroughly enjoyed the break. I know that Irene has many friends in Halfmoon Bay who will be pleased to know that she is well. Help Our Wildlife Just a reminder that next Saturday, Feb. 1 Ihe Blue Shoe Ceramic Shop on Francis Peninsula Road will be donating 30 percent of all its sales lo the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. A nice gesture which could easily be copied by other animal loving merchants. The Bridge Recently I took a walk down past the store at Halfmoon Bay. It was a lovely sunny day and I thought of how nice it would be to be able to walk across that scenic little bridge. But what for? It's the pretty little bridge that goes nowhere, except lo some private properties at the other end. No doubt when there is a low tide we could walk along the beach, but lhat is frowned upon by the residents, who think the beach belongs to them if Ihey happen to live there. It certainly was a sad day for us all who live in the Halfmoon Bay area when that pleasant little walk along the Redrooffs Trail was shut down - all for Ihe pleasure and convenience of a few people. Ah well! Such is Ihe 'progress' lhat we keep hearing about. ftxzmmtHmtm Notice Board Deadline for submissions is Thursday noon (for Monday distribution) On-going submissions will be deleted after 3 weeks unless a specific renewal request is made.

LOG BUYING STATION golden lifelines by Joyce Ostry The Canadian Disability Rights Council (CDRC) is a national, non-profit advocacy organization designed by people wilh disabilities to advance Iheir rights. The CDRC is recognized as the sole organization whose work is focused on disability rights and Ihe law. In Ihe fall of 1990, I attended a meeting in Vancouver in which people with disabilities from across Canada met to co-ordinate their response to the review of legislation currently underway within the federal government. This is an exciting new strategy for people with disabilities. For the first time, people with disabilities have themselves drafted proposals for amendments lhal would change the law. Omnibus bill proposed The executive summary stales: Ihe CDRC has identified several ways to achieve legislative reform: develop an omnibus bill to change several pieces of existing legislation at one time; identify other review mechanisms set up to deal wilh specific pieces of legislation; participate in these processes by proposing concrete changes (such as to Ihe Employment Equity Act and the Canadian Human Rights Act); and consult with community groups on other pieces of legislation that are either cost-shared by the provincial and federal governments or are very complex and require further discussions to develop effective legislative proposals. The Canada Assistance Plan (CAP) and Vocational Rehabilitation for Disabled Persons Act (VRDP) are two examples. The CDRC recommends several elements for inclusion in Ihe omnibus bill. This bill, called an Act to Implement the Equality Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Phase One, 1991, provides the history of the issues, the principles underlying the proposed changes, and a set of concrete recommendations for proposals for legislative change. The acts lhat must be included in the omnibus bill are the Canada Evidence Act/Criminal Code of Canada, the Broadcasting Act, the Immigration Act, Ihe Access to Information Act, the Canada Elections Act and the National Transportation Act. Canada Election Act Rest assured that when 1 attended the meeting of CDRC, Sat., Jan. 25 at the Sheridan Plaza 500,1 listened to all the above proposed legislation and selected the Canada Election Act to inform you about proposed changes. Some people are excluded from voting simply because they are disabled. Of vital importance are reforms to allow people with disabilities to be enumerated if Ihey live in a group home or institution, to allow them to cast their ballot and to provide them with access to polling stations. The 10-day residency requirement discriminates against homeless people, many of whom are people with menial disabilities. This requirement prohibits them from voting since many live in shelters or hostels where they do not stay for Ihe required 10 days. There is much to include, so I'll continue with this next week.

Every year around Jan. 25, this song is sung wilt great gusto hy people all over Ihe world who gather to celebrate the hirth of Robert Burns, 233 years ago. For those who have never been lo a Bums Supper, here is some idea of what takes place. There is a ritual which has been followed for many years and is still continued faithfully right here on the Sunshine Coast. The Sechell Legion Pipe Baud host the event, one of the highlights of Iheir year, where they play lo appreciative audiences who love to hear the band in all its glory. Generally, the master of ceremonies welcomes an acknowledges all present. This is followed by 'Piping in the Haggis', when a piper marches towards the head table together with the haggis bearer. The iray on which the haggis is set is then placed on the table, and it is at this point that a speaker will give 'The Address lo the Haggis". This is a poem written by "Some ha'e meat, and carina eat; some nane, and want it. But we ha'e meat and we can eat, soe let the Lord be thankit." Robert Burns Burns in praise of this delicious, nourishing culinary delight, which is served together wilh roast beef, mashed potatoes and mashed turnips, better known as neeps. There are oatcakes, scones, cheese and pickles, followed by dessert which, locally, generally comprises 'Tremhlin' Tarn", - jello pudding. After dinner, it is toast time and there are several, starling off wilh Ihe toasl lo Ihe Queen, toasl lo Canada, lo Scotland, then comes the 'Toast to the Lassies.' The later is the one toasl lo which a response is given by one of the ladies present. Then comes the highlight of the evening - The Immortal Memory. The speaker has to be one who is familiar wilh Burns and his works as he speaks of Ihe life of this much-loved man, and who, throughout his talk, recites lines from some of the belter- known poems. He then asks the people to stand up and drink a toast to this Immortal Memory. Once these ceremonies are out of the way, tables are cleared and the fun begins. The pipe band appears and presents a selection of music which sets toes a-tapping and cheers from the listeners. There are generally some Highland dancers to delight Ihe audience, then the dance band appears to play for the rest of Ihe evening, interspersed with appearances by the pipe band. This is always a great evening, not only for those with a drop of the Scottish blood in their veins. Folks of all nationalities get a thrill out of such an evening.

Heinlein is one of the true legends of Ihe science fiction genre During a writing career that spanned over 50 years, he turned out some of the most innovative work ever produced in this field and won many awards. Long before his death in 1988, Heinlein had projected a Ixxik called 'Grumbles From The Grave', a rough summation of his career in lite form of letters, lo be published posthumously. He did not live to compile the book himself. That task was undertaken by his wife, Virginia, and the resultant volume is both engrossing and revealing - a filling memorial lo a truly creative man. Born in Butler, Missouri in 1907, Heinlein read voraciously from an early age but lie did not, initially, set out to be a writer, opting instead for a naval career. Tuberculosis forced his early retirement from the service and, at 27 he embarked on what was to become his life's work. Heinlein, a highly imaginative man, had long had a taste Daven'6 Cry TrtiEATCE Notice to Movie Patrons The movie portion of the theatre is closed for equipment maintenance & service. No movies will be shown till further notice There will be no matinees until further notice. for science fiction and now he turned his hand to creating it, He proved lo be a natural. His very first story 'Life-Line', was accepted by John W. Campbell Jr., editor of 'Astounding', the top magazine in: the field. From this initial sale in 1939, Heinlein went on to become: Campbell's top writer wilh such classic yams as 'Sixth Column' and: 'Melhtisalah's Children'. ; Heinlein wrote almost exclusively for Campbell for the next three: years. Many of these early stories were part of an ingenious 'Future! History' that he had devised. When America entered World War 11,: Heinlein took an engineering post with the navy and this curtailed his! writing for the next three years. ! Alter the war, Heinlein secured the services of an agent, Lurton: Blassingame, with an eye to breaking out of Ihe pulp magazines and! hilling the higher-paying markets. He achieved this in 1947, selling! 'The Green Hills of Earth' to the 'Saturday Evening Post'. Subse-! quently, he managed to place numerous sci-fi pieces both in 'The! Post' and other 'slick' publications. Also in 1947 lie began lo write a! scries of 'juvenile' novels fur Scribners, starling with 'Rocket Ship! Galileo'. While not up lo Heinlein's mature work, the books soldi well and made liini financially secure. ', In 1961 Heinlein returned to adult science fiction wtih 'Stranger in a Strange Land', a concept he had been struggling wilt since 1949. Il is generally acknowledged as his master work. Essentially, the book deals with a man who returns to Earth alter having been brought up on Mars by an utterly alien race. It is much more than simple sci-fi however, touching on philo-j sophical and religious questions seldom dealt with in the medium before. The book sold slowly at firsl; then look off like a rocket to- become a full-Hedged classic. During the hippie era, it was virtually adopted as a bible by the counter culture. It has been translated into, many languages and remains in print to this day. Heinlein went on to write many more books. None ol them had the impact of 'Stranger' but till of them sold well and most of them dealt with starllingly original concepts. Heinlein was never content to simply repeal himself with formula ideas and this striving for new horizons only strengthened as he grew older. He pushed his imagination lo the limit in such novels as 'The Number of the Beast', "I Will Fear No Evil' and 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress'. But, sadly, Heinlein's body did not possess Ihe strength of his mind. He had always been of a sickly disposition and from 1970 on, he was stricken with a series of illnesses lhat incapacitated him for lengthy periods. In spile of this, he kept doggedly producing books. His final novel, 'To Sail Beyond The Sunset' was published in 1987 on his 80th birthday, just a year before his death. 'Grumbles From the Grave' (Del Rey) offers a graphic portrait of Robert A. Heinlein, a sterling writer who always put excellence first.

Bottle drive February 8. on the rocks by Harry Turner The mixed bonspiel is over again for another year. A total of 32 teams paticipated and many winners were local teams. Winning the 'A' Event was the Penonzek foursome. They won a hard-fought game with the Giroux learn. The game went to 11 ends and almost to the last rock. In Ihe 1 lth end, Alita Giroux needed a draw with her last stone lo stay in the game, but unfortunately she was a little heavy and Larry Penonzek was spared the necessity of throwing his last slone. Third place in 'A' was taken by the Anderson rink and fourth by Ron Baba. The 'B' event was won by Munsie, who bested the Metcalfe team. Both of these teams are out-of-town winners. Third and fourth places went lo the Cawsey and Worsely teams. In 'C, the McDonald team won out over the Robinson team, Brander took third and Gant came in fourth. The 'D' event went to Hill of Gibsons, who beat Ihe Flockhan team from Sechelt. Ken Skylle placed third and the Douglas team was fourth. As you can see, there were lot of local winners, possibly, the most I have ever seen since I have been writing this column. Good going, people. On a lesser note, we had some trouble garnering volunteers for this weekend. It only lakes a couple of hours of volunteer time if everyone pitches in. One person who did volunteer his time again was our number one cook, Ron Baba. He and his crew of volunteers put together an excellent spread and we heard raves from the outside rinks. Congratulations on a job well done Ron.

Acupuncture therapy will soon be offered at the Gibsons Health Clinic (GHC). According to GHC's doctor of chiropractic, Samuel Simpson, the addition of acupuncture will make the centre unique in BC for the variety of "alternative medicines" provided. Those services will include massage therapy, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic care and acupuncture. "We can basically cover any problem that we might come across," Simpson said of the health centre. Included in the chiropractic portion of the clinic is the use of micro-current therapy through the Myomatic-I. According to Simpson the Myomatic-I is a relatively new concept in physiotherapy, an Hicut tv HOINTS I I ai li Ji -h Dr. David Dressier of the Gibsons Health Centre is optimistic over the benefits of natural medicines and healing techniques.

Meningitis fears rising, but health unit says Coast is clear The Coast-Garibaldi health unit is being inundated with calls from parents concerned about the potential risk of meningitis infection on the Coast. "We're getting well over 100 calls a day," said Diane Read, public health nursing administrator. "1 think it would be reassuring for people to know we don't have the disease now and haven't had it in a long lime (on the Coast). The decision by public health officials to launch an immunization program for meningitis in the Kamloops area last week raised the level of concern from parents of children of all ages. Read said. "Because it's a relatively rare disease most people don't know that much about it." Roughly 30 cases are reported each year in BC. The health ministry is distributing information about meningococcal infections to help raise awareness of symptoms and prompt early diagnosis. Meningococcal meningitis, an infection thai affects the lining of the brain, can be fatal within 24 hours if untreated. Its symptoms include fever, severe neck stiffness, headache, nausea, vomiting and irritability. Meningococcernia is an infection of the blood whose symptoms include high fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting and a reddish-purple. bruise-like skin rash. Meningococcal may cause other diseases such as pneumonia. The disease is spread by direct contact with droplets from the nose or throat of an infected person. A vaccine may be used to combat a specific strain of the bacteria - as is the case in Kamloops - bul health officials say it is not possible lo completely eradicate the disease at this point. With no indicated cases of meningitis on the Coast, a vaccination program here is not deemed necessary. Read said. She did, however, advise parents to be vigilant for potential symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they are in doubt. Meanwhile, provincial health staff have begun a program to vaccinate British Columbians travelling to Kamloops or other areas of Canada experiencing meningococcal disease outbreaks. Those targetted inlcude: ��� persons age six months lo 19 years travelling to Ottawa. Hull or Laurenlide and staying for longer than three weeks; ��� persons age two lo 29 years travelling to Prince Edward Island and staying for three weeks or longer; ��� persons age two to 19 years visiting Kamloops for three weeks or more. A vaccine should be administered at least 10 days before travelling to allow time for it lo take effect.

A nurse at St Mary s hospital suggested gel in touch wilh the Hospice Program, hut she resisled for some time "I felt there WHS nothing they could do and il was just some thing I had to cope with on my own and learn lo live with, "Finally, one day when 1 was feeling particularly down I decided to phone itosemary Hoare |who coordinate! the pro- gram). She was very understanding and listened to what I said." "Al first I didn'l think it would help," said Louisa, "but it did because it made me realise 1 was not alone and the way I was feeling was quite normal You begin to wonder if you're losing control because you're so depressed and unhappy all the time. "I learned this was normal and everybody has to grieve, and it takes everybody a different length of time and everybody does it in a different way. Now she is thinking about becoming a hospice worker herself. "1 think you have to experience these things first hand before you can help other people," she said. "Otherwise you never really understand what people are feeling. You never realize the depth of it until you've gone through it yourself." Martha Scales says that as more people become aware of the benefits of the Hospice Program, more volunteers are needed. A new training program will be taking place on February I, 8 and 22.
