At the August 30 joint meeting of local governments, Collins circulated the text of an address he had presented to Gibsons Council on August 21, recommending such an involvement, and suggesting that former chief Stan Dixon be invited \"to lead us in this quest.\" (See excerpts of text on page 4). Collins launched into a rambling discourse which Regional District Chairman Peggy Connor futilely attempted to derail before it began. \"I don't think this is the place to discuss this,\" she noted firmly, but Collins continued, after receiving a go-ahead from Gibsons Mayor Diane Strom. \"This document is an offense, in my view, to the duly elected members of the Band,\" said Wilson in a bitter rejoinder to Collins' speech. \"There are many important issues facing the federal and provincial governments right now, and for the municipalities to dabble, and that's all we would possibly be doing, to dabble in this now to a view to whatever political gains could be made, is rubbish. \"We have no authority to be speaking on this issue. It's far more complicated! I think it's an insult to the members of the Sechelt Indian Government District that you of all people, Ken, would bring it to this table. \"It's none of your goddamned business as an elected member of the Town of Gibsons!\" Wilson said, banging his fist on the table. At this point Chief Tom Paul spoke out for the first time. \"I didn't want to get into this tonight,\" he said. \"We have drafted a letter which you will get tomorrow. \"The statements in this document insulted a lot of my Band Council members.\" Looking directly at Alderman Collins, Chief Paul stated bluntly but with calm authority, \"You don't understand the process that's happening with the land claims issue. \"We've stated our position very clearly. The Province of British Columbia wants to sit down and draft the principles, and once these are in plaa, then you can make your decisions (about getting involved). \"Until then you'll just create more confrontations and problems.\" For a moment it was silent in the room, but the tension wk palpable. Finally, Peggy Connor spoke again. \"Chief Tom Paul has been elected by his people and he represents his councillors. That you should indicate that someone else should do so is totally wrong,\" she added in a reproving tone. Chief Tom Paul (right) of the Sechelt Indian Band joined Wedliddi Speck and the Otlkin Dancers from Courtenay in s traditional dance st the 'Save the Strait' Fair last weekend. ���RuIN Form In pkolo Of Economic Development Commission Gibsons and Sechelt out by Rose Nicholson A new bylaw that has been drafted by the Economic Development Commission (EDC) does not satisfy either Gibsons or Sechelt and both municipalities have declined to join the commission. At the August 30 joint meeting of the four local governments, both Mayor Diane Strom of Gibsons and Mayor Tom Meredith of Sechelt were firm in their council's decisions not to be a part of the EDC. \"My understanding is that a commission has powers way beyond that of a committee,\" said Meredith. \"As I recall the terms of the new bylaw, the budget would be approved by the regional board, which is in a position to outvote Setchelt, Gibsons and the Indian Band. \"I think a properly set up independent commission would do a whale of a job for us,\" Meredith noted, \"but we get back to the old problem that has been here for a long time, and I don't think it's going to go away for a long time. That's the very reason Sechelt opted out of the EDC. Our position is quite firm.\" Regional District Director Brett McGillivray pointed out that the regional district is not really a separate entity, but an amalgam of the six electoral areas, the Sechelt Indian Government District and the towns of Gibsons and Sechelt. \"We have a good Economic Development Commission, and it's doing a fine job,\" added Regional Director Gordon Wilson. \"The municipalities wanted out, and then I understood they wanted in. We tried to find a mechanism to let them back in. The EDC is constituted to carry on the way it is. If we can't come to a resolution of the bylaw, we should let the respective boards mull over what's been said tonight and see if there's anyway it can be resolved.\" EDC Chairman Maurice Egan stressed that the commission is not a legislative body, but a group of individuals who contribute their expertise to the task of solving economic problems on the whole Coast, and then make recommendations to the regional district. \"If you want to come in as just an advocate for your municipalities, don't come in yet,\" he said, \"That would be a disaster for the EDC. \"The people on the commission are there for their expertise. That's the strength of the EDC. If you want to bring the experience and know-how of the municipalities, that's fine, but I don't think that elected people should control it. That would destroy it. Having said all that, we would love to see the municipalities represented.\" \"The EDC is constantly evolving,\" added Economic Development Officer Bill Moore. \"While I appreciate the position of the municipalities, the way to work with the changes is to participate. The way the revised bylaw is designed, it's left open for anyone to come in.\" \"Whatever economic development we do create will benefit every single person on this coast,\" said Regional District Chairman Peggy Connor. \"Whether you're in or not, we're quite happy to carry on. We just wanted to give you the opportunity. If you wish to come back in, the door is open.\" I Ken Collins on 'Native Canadians' Following are representative excerpts from Gibsons Alderman Ken Collins' address to Gibsons Council, August 21, 1990: ��� \"There is a general view in our country thai whatever happens to native Indians is a private matter between individuals who have surfaced for whatever reason as 'native spokesmen' and the Federal Government. Nothing could be further from the truth...\" ��� \"TTtere has been much said about hereditary rights of leadership over some Canadian citizens of native indian ancestry. However, the concept of hereditary chiefs is a concept contrary to the form of government this country and its people support, including most native Indians.\" ��� \"The concept of hereditary rights of one race over another is a racist concept.\" ��� \"When they (native Indians} first arrived (in Canada) they were foreigners and nol native. It was their sons and daughters born in this country that were native. Indians who came after were also foreigners. They pushed aside whatever people were here before them and made room for themselves.\" ��� \"In short, a whole bunch of Asians immigrated to Canada, the descendenls of which are now native Canadians and are racially categorized as Native Indian.\" ��� \"I ask council to consider inviting the one man in the entire country who in ihe past has demonstrated Ihe ability to carry such a challenge (i.e. the land claim issue) to its successful completion to lead us in this quest. Thai man is a man who will always be a leader and who will always be a chief. His name is Stan Dixon.\" J Save the Strait reflections by Ruth Forrester The weekend of events got off to an mating start last Saturday morning when kayaks and canoes began to arrive on the beach in Sechelt after braving some very rough seas from Nanaimo. More than 120 brave souls participated and were happy to see the end of their journey and the cheering crowds who awaited them. There were a dozen Sunshine Coasters who sailed, canoed, or kayaked the more than 16 miles from Nanaimo to .Sechelt. One local participant said afterwards that \"It was tricky in some of those four and five-foot waves!\", adding that he was grateful for the companionship of other marathoners and for the frequent visits from Greenpeace zodiacs and other escort boats. Sunshine Coast residents John Marion, Frank White, Hugh McNabb, and Susan and Alex Baggio provided some of the marathon's escort, with Lome Berman's The Oak assuming flagship duties across the Strait. Roger Lagasse, who completed the crossing in five and a half hours (in a solo kayak), said that when the wind blew up he drew strength from the knowletdge that Sechelt Indian Band members had held a 'sweat lodge' prior to the marathon. During this ritual, participants prayed for the safe passage of the marathoners, Larry Westlake of Halfmoon Bay completed the sometimes arduous journey in just under six hours in the Paper Buoy. The centre of much interest and attention from its inception, the Paper Buoy is a sailing canoe constructed from used materials, including a 'skin' made from some 200 brown paper .bags laminated with casein glue. It was built by a committee of 10 volunteers under Larry's direction. On Sunday morning there were booths of handicrafts, food and environmental information set up on the Sechelt Indian Band playing field. Particularly noticeable was the fact that there were no styrofoam cups or plates allowed in the area, but the gap was filled by the fact that there were real mugs and plates available for rent. At the opening ceremonies Band Elder Carrie Joe gave the opening prayer. Sechelt Indian Band Chief Thomas Paul then extended a warm welcome to the several hundred people in attendance. This was followed by Indian Band Elder and former Band Leader Giltiert Joe, who gave an interesting and informative talk on the history of the local band. Guest speaker Nanaimo Indian Band Chief Robert Thomas expressed his thanks on behalf of the visiting band and assigned 'runners' to distribute gifts to various dignitaries of the Setchelt Band. He then gave a very moving and sincere talk pointing out how very precious each part of nature is to man. Robert Thomas held his audience of all age groups enthralled with the sincerity and articulation of his address. He then introduced Wedliddi Speck and the Otikin Dancers whose first presentation was of a very sacred historic family family dance which has been passed on from generation to generation.

Serving the Sunshine Coast since 1945 Coast News, September 3,1990 I On bended knee \"When Washington sneezes, Ottawa reaches for the kleenex.\" We don't recall who originated this bit of unflattering folk wisdom, but we do know, sadly, how operable a rule of thumb it remains. During the reign of King Ronald the Reagan, Mr. Mulroney, fairly or not, often apptrared to be more a courtier than the Prime lvlinister of a sovereign nation. This image has not seemed to diminish with the advent of George Bush. When Iraq's .Saddam Hussein annexed Kuwait, there was little public clamour in Canada for Mulroney to immediately dispatch s military expedition to either liberate the hapless Kuwaitis ��� or to prated 'our' stake in their plenteous oil reserves. But the moment Bush tiegan his so-called \"telephone diplomacy\" in an attempt to make an American intervention appear las unilateral, hue we were pledging ships and the men (and women) to sail them. Last week, as if to add insult to injury, Mulroney journeyed, order pad in hand, to Bush's Kennebunkport retreat. (Evm in the face of a .possible Middle Eastern punch-up, Bush insists on his daily ration of fishing, tennis, speedboating and horseshoes). If Bush so badly desired Canada's counsel and support for his latest military misadventure, why didn't he drop in on Brian in Ottawa? If Canada is considered to be such a valuable friend and trusted advisor, why is the international traffic always one way ��� South? Upon his return from Maine, Mulroney reassured us that the small contingent we've sent steaming for Saudi Arabia is okay for now, but held out every .possibility that we might be called on for a greater military investment should things get more intense. If there is one thing Canada is perceived to be, other than an enormous land mass with a smallish population, it is a decidedly non-militaristic nation, a country which has always picked its military involvements with care and a good deal of spirited public debate. This has stood Canada in good stead as an honest broker. But when it comes to our relationship with the United States, honesty often appears to go by the boards, and we wind up with the unsightly spectacle of Canada assuming the missionary position, with the US above and Canada below, gritting her tetetth and pretending to enjoy it. Would that Mulroney had initially advised Bush to pull out for everybody's sake. Would that he had made it clear that the days of Canada's knee-jerk support for American policies are over. We wonder what kind of ripple effect might have eventuated had Canada simply refused to support any intervention other than one consisting entirely of United Nations' forces. Of course we understand the 'pragmatists'' rationale, that Canada cannot always assume the higher moral ground, givesn the US's not inconsiderable; economic influence in our affairs. Influence, or so the argument proceeds, which the Americans can wield (unopposed) during any given moment of pique. All the more reason why, at key moments like this, Canada must run the risk of annoying Goliath, lest we be seen (once again) as just another one of the giant's vassal states. After all, it's not as if we'd be the first sovereign nation to tweak the eagle's t*ak and live to tell about it. As a nutter of fact, there are a nunnber of millions of Americans who would be eternally grateful should we oppose, rather than encourage and support, policies which they themselves find as unreasonable and/or abhorrent as many Canadians do. It. wouldn't hurt our sense of national self-respect either. To say nothing of reinforcing our image abroad as a people who are able to affirm and maintain our own idemtity and integrity in face of our 230 million neighbours south of the border. Bottoming out We do not hrsitate to applaud Director Gordon Wilson and SCRD Chairman Peggy Connor for the firm clarity with which they reacted to the recently preposterous intrusion of Alderman Ken Collins of Gibsons into the affairs of the Secheit Indian Band. We too received a letter over Collins' signature in embar- rasingly effusive praise of Stan Dixon of the Sechelt Indian Band last week, a letter which was published elsewhere. It was not published by the Coast News because we were not persuaded that Collins had actually written the letter and, even if it had been his work, we could not see what business the Gibsons' alderman had in telling the elected Chief of the Sechelt Indians, which advisers he should choose. (White or otherwise). Collins is arguably the elected member in least standing of what is generally agreed to be the weakest of the local government bodia; he is a man for whom no one has ever voted, even in Gibsons. His attempt to interfere with the internal affairs of the Sechelt Indian Band is simply inexcusable. The Sunshine COAM fIWI p.bii.h.d by GLASSFORD PRESS LTD.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES 1 year $35; 6 months 120; Foreign 1 year 140 In a nutshell A pair of parrots by S. Nutter There used to be a rather elegant bar in Ottawa just down from the cenotaph, across from the Lord Elgin Hotel. It's gone now, I understand, to make way for the National Gallery. It was called La Touraine, named after a large white parrot who lived in a cage in a corner of the room. There was the bar with (I think) only 10 stools, a number of tables, a good dining room beyond, and about eight floors of an apartment hotel upstairs. The bar itself with its 10 stools and its blarney Irish bartender came to be a bit of a club. There was a doctor from the National Research Council, the Ambassador from Brazil, a salesman emeritus from IBM, the titled widow of the previous RCMP Commissioner, thi Colonel of the .Princess Louise Dragoon Light Guards, etc. And there was Buggy. Buggy was an .English type who was secretary to the Royal Ottawa Golf Club and Captain of the cricket team which played on Sundays in those days (1955) on the grounds of Government House. Buggy was vigorous and charming and fun. He organized the bar club into outings in which they filled a box at Lansdown Park at Ottawa Roughrider football games, going and coming in a bus with hampers of goodies. He became the acknowledged social leader of this disparate little group. A thing they came to dislike was the miserable white parrot. It never said anything, sat in its corner of the place, and bit anyone who tried to feed it. Not really up to the tenor of the place Buggy thought. One night, when discussing the.parrot, someone said they knew of a parrot who would be a livelier member of the place ��� \"From rock to rotten\" _y by Lawrence Villanova After work, I decide to swing by the market and pick up some special goodies for my din-din. If I go straight home, I face the dismal prospect of having to make do with imported Got- gonzola cheese, orchard-fresh Pippin apple, and 7-grain, sprouted wheat bread from the Died and Gone to Heaven Celestial Organic Bakery. Not too shabby, I admit, but what I crave is toasted bagel with Italian smoked ham, beefsteak tomato, grey poupon mustard, munster cheese melted on top, and a crowning sprinkle of 'falfa sprouts. I must also lay hands on some of those innocent-looking green olives with nubbins of jalapeno pepper secreted inside. My eyes water in anticipation of how they'll go off in my mouth like miniature grenades. Which means, of course, that I'll need a succulent pear for medicinal purposes to chase down the Vesuvian olives. Barlett, Bosc, or Anjou. At this point I'm not the least bit picky. Alone with the produce and fruit, I survey the late-night tranquility of this garden graveyard. .Picking over the corpses of some terminally-wilted lettuce, I see the bananas are all browning, and I wrinkle my delicate gourmet's nose in mild distaste. Then I recall that two- thirds of the world's population would literally kill for this perfectly good food, and I feel the edge of my appetite eroding slightly. What I imd are happy thoughts to revive my palate, so I regress to 1947, back to when I was six and served as a willing native bearer on my father's gruelling gourmet safaris. Lew Villanova saw the world of edibles as a jungle, and when it came to shopping, he was out to bag nothing but the best. He'd march me and my brother, Kenny, from one farmer's market to the next, beating the bushes for the elusive ��� and perfect ��� Bermuda onion. While searching for the pears, I remember how Lew taught us to respeect perishable foods. He said it was reprehensible to leave so much as a microscopic dent on the dermis of anything being physically manipulated as part of a serious, hands-on inspection. Should this offense be committed for any reason, however, one was obligated morally to purchase the victim. I finally track down the pe*ars, but I'm faced with a major problem. They're like granite painted green. They won't be edible for days, and I'm scheduled to nosh on one of the suckers in precisely 75 minutes. I feel like taking Maxwell's silver hammer to the entire, petrified lot of them! My menu hangs in the balance, so I flirt insanely for a moment with the idea of softening up one of the damn things in the microwave! I sneer down at the pear in my hand with a lack of respect that my father would judge downright psychotic. I .understand intellectually that it's the store's fault them is only future fruit available, but my self- control is fast disintegrating. My index finger pecks nastily at the hostage pear. I break the skin and feel myself becoming the neighbourhood bully again. The slit in the siUten skin broadens, and my fingernail tastes dessicated flesh. My petty viciousnetss disgusts me, and I'm not unaware of having just broken my father's Please tum to page 4 just what was neede*d. This parrot had character, noted this personage, and spoke back when spoken to. The germ of an idea almost visibly sprouted above Buggy's balding head. The group moved to the parrot's cage, out of earshot of the bartender, Charles. Hey, was this parrot available? Yes. What size? What shape of beak? What cast of eye? All okay. Trouble was this parrot was green and La Touraine of course was white. The doctor from the NRC thought he had an answer, a light gelatinous spray and the right amount of talcum powder! On the instant, almost, the plan was laid. A week later to the day they carried it out. The Brazilian Ambassador in the dining room called for Charles to discuss his brandy. The new parrot, looking splendidly white was outside the door. The old IBM man, wearing falconer's glove, removed La Touraine. Outside in a car with engine running, was the Colonel of the Princess Louise Dragoon Light Guards. Within a couple of minutes the white-feathered switch was made. A room had been booked at the Chateau Laurier for La Touraine (the members were later billed for their share of the rent). Everyone then reassembl ed looking perhaps a trifle smug. Few Commando raids, after all, had gone off without a hitch. The new parrot was sitent, hopped about, and pecked at its feed dish whilst the members waited. At the tables behind the bar were to be found several senior mandarins of the Ottawa government in presumably serious conflab. It was a lady guest of one of the mandarins who finally went up to the cage. \"Oh, what a lovely parrot!\" she said, and inserted a Patrician finger into the cage. Normally this would have resulted in a lightning bite. This time, though, the bird rose up, raised its wings, and shrieked \"Fuggit, fuggit, fuggit...' The place, of course, fell silent. Behind the bar the usually imperterbable Charles (later to be the manager of the Press Club in Ottawa), had his mouth open. The members at the bar evinced no surprise. It might have passed, who knows? But the pseudo-La Touraine began to flap its wings and talcum powder began to rise in a cloud, and the jig was up. well, said the NKC doctor, we'll have to try again. Another time, said Buggy, towelling talcum from Ids bald head with a cocktail napkin. S YEAR8 AQO The Ted Dixon Memorial Park was officially dedicated and an all-day soccer tournament took place to celebrate. Chief Stan Dixon made a short speech to honour the memory of one of the Sechelt Indian Band's most outstanding athletes for whom the park is named.

The inaction of the RCMP and the Quebec police in the face of white mobs was sickening and scary. It was in sharp contrast to the overwhelming might of the army arraye*d against the Mohawk barricades as the negotiations were going on. In recent months this kind of racism has been widespread and not only against Canadian aborigines. Tension between police and black communities in major Canadian cities has worsened; Jewish families have suffered pain and humiliation caused by the desecration of cemetarie*s and other property; and francophones have been targeted by right-wing groups that have lobbied to have municipalities declare themselves 'English only'. And now we have seen the rock throwing and the army pointing its guns at the Mohawk barricades. This scene brings to mind stories that the late Clarence Joe, Sr. told me of the tales his grandparents had passed onto him about the British gunboats which used to lay off the Sunshine Coast in the 19th Century and point their guns at recalcitrant Sechelts. Has it ever been any different for the Canadian Indian or Metis in a crunch? Canadians increasingly fear /\"DEPENDABLE' that our country faces an unsettled economic and political future. History lias shown that times like these provide fertile ground for the growth of intolerance, scapegoating, fear mongering and the trampling of minority rights. It is hardly surprising that such a climate has resulted in the regeneration of old attitudes that pit racial, religious and language groups against each other. In the 1960's and early 70's the local Sechelt press of that period regularly attacked and used as scapegoats in its columns Sechelt Indians, immigrants, teachers, and longhaired young peeople. At one time it made a call for vigilantes to deal with what it called \"scum\". However, we cannot go back. Now, more than ever, we Canadians have to reaffirm our support for tolerance and respect toward racial, religious, and linguistic minorities, and say 'no' to the bigots that make the headlines. The call by opposition leaders for a recall of parliament to consider the manner in which the federal government has handled the Oka crisis must be heeded. At the same time the Canadian and provincial governments must begin to seriously negotiate with native people to settle their land claims.

Box 340 Gibsons, BC Dear Mayor Diane Strom and Aldermen: I would like to express my acknowledgement to you and your council for accepting the presentation by Alderman Ken Collins to your regular council meeting. 1 respect his thought- fulness. Alderman Ken Collins said the land claims debate involves all Canadians, not just the respective governments. Then he asked the Gibsons Council to consider joining forces with the other two self-governing municipalities on this Coast and together, united; join with the provincial government...to demand of the federal government to work with us in finding a solution to the land questions in our area. Then he added that council consider in.king me to \"lead us in this quest.\" On Ihe 21st of August, Alderman Ken Collins telephoned me and explained his intentions to me and I said that I would be honoured to be on a provincially organized lands claims negotiating team, if there ever was one. 1 feel I could help, but it is highly unlikely that it would happen. I also respect what the concerned citizens of Lillooet have to say. Colleen Reynolds presented their case very well and I agree with her. I feel honoured. It is a very complex issue. 1 feel that not too many people truly understand what 'land claims' is all about. And if it ever gets to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities it will be a miracle, even though it is a provincial issue. But, I would like to thank you all for at least discussing Alderman Collins' proposal. It is one process to solving the land claims that could be worked on and refined if the local political will is there. 1 admire and respect Alderman Ken Collins for his personal efforts in his initiative; but if there is no co-operations to look at the positive side of this complex topic and his proposal, nothing will come of it. Ken can say he tried, and I can say that I would be honoured to represent the Sunshine Coast.

It follows that a YES vote will ultimately benefit everyone. Frances L.

Paul Harper of Ihe BC Forestry Service accepts a letter for District Manager Barry Mountain from Maria McCartney of SCEPP. -Ktrry Mills pholo Forestry forthcoming? The fast reply to a letter delivered lo the BC Forestry office in Sechelt pleased members of the Sunshine Coast Environmental Protection Society (SCEPP) last week. Last Thursday Maria McCartney of SCEPP hand delivered a letter for District Manager Barry Mountain to Paul Harper of the Forestry Service, asking for a meeting to discuss alternatives to forestry's proposal to spray seven cut blocks on the Coast with the herbicide Vision. Mr. Mountain phoned McCartney later on Thursday afternoon and agreed to meet at the Sechelt Forestry office on Wednesday, September 5 at 1 pm. SCEPP hopes that local contractor Tony Greenfield of Whiskey Jack Reforestation will be present at Ihe meeting to offer Mountain a quote his company has made to manually clear the cut blocks. Maria McCartney said, \"This is Ihe first dialogue we've had with them since before the public hearing. Perhaps he is willing to listen to us. I hope we can count on public support at the meeting on Wednesday.\" CHAMBERS PLANNING SERVICES ���Retirement Planning ���Life Insurance ���Investment Planning 'Employee Benefit Plans 'Serving the Sunshine Coasl for over S Years' LAWRENCE K.

I guiltily conceal the violated fruit deep in the pile, then slouch out of the store with my other purchases. As 1 hit the parking lot, I realize I also broke my father's second most cardinal rule. If you bruise anything, buy it. The morning following the crime, I'm back at the market to do our regular, weekly shopping, but this time I'm not in the grip of a gastronomical wet dream. It doesn't matter how ripe the pears may be, I'll simply leave them on the sill in the sun. I twirl the plastic bag of pears before tying it, but it promptly bangs against the others in the pile. One pear plunges downward onto the floor, skitters drunkenly across the waxy yellow build-up, and comes to rest wedged between a pair of ancient sandals. The old man inhabiting them squats down and picks up the fruit, cradling it protectively in cupped hands. As I approach, he stares me down reprovingly before giving it back to me. At my cart, I'm about to throw the pear in on top of a couple of bunches of spinach, when I notice a tiny brown patch of oxidized flesh staring back at me in a manner akin to the old man. On closer inspection, I discover a jagged hole gouged out of the meat. There's no doubt in my mind that this is the same hapless pear I mauled last night. And I wonder at the coincidence. But I don't really believe in Kharma, so I toss the pear back among its mates for the second time and go on about my business. The Laws of Kharma, however, believe in me. Five days later, on a sun-speckled day ordained for growing things, the dozen pears I bought went directly from rock to rotten. More than a little shaken by the whole, crazy business, I decide to teach my daughter how to work the produce department. Let her feel the fruit for a change, it will be a terrific learning experience. I'll stick to canned goods until I can learn to control my ������motions. Sechelt dust to settle The problem of dust which has been irritating the residents of Sechelt in the past hot, dry months of summer will soon be over. At the joint meeting of local governments Chief Tom Paul reported on the talks his council has had with Sechelt Aggregates. He gave assurances that plans are underway to solve both the problem of dust and also the noise that comes from the conveyor belt. Councillor Ben Pierre pointed out that the gravel plant has not been the only culprit in producing the clouds of dust that have enveloped Sechelt all summer. Extensive work on the playing fields at both the elementary school and the high school, as well as work on the pipeline, have contributed to the problem. Red-letter day for Lutherans Sunday, September 9,1990 is a red-letter day in the life of Living Faith Lutheran Church. One year ago, a small group of 12 to IS people were renting facilities to hold weekly worship services in the Lutheran tradition. On September 9, 1990 this developing congregation will open the Charter for an anticipated 70 or more adults to become the organizing members of Living Faith Lutheran Church on the Sunshine Coast. In that interim year the former St. John's United facility has been purchased, a permanent pan-time mission Pastor has been called, and a flourishing Sunday School organized. Enrollment for children age three through Grade 6 will also take place on .Setpember 9 at 9:30 am in the church at the corner of Highway 101 and Whitaker Road in Davis Bay. Adults are invited to participate in an information series at the same time.

Not so, as I found a couple of years later when I was privileged to read his manuscript. His book is a novel, swift of pace and very topical, as it turns out, in its selection of characters and setting. The author of this first novel, Stewart (Doug) Dickson of Shoal Lookout in Gibsons, has with characteristic determination and initiative turned out a tale 'of courage and survival'. In the story an airman leaves a promising career in the Canadian Forces to become a bush pilot in northern BC. His family quite happily join him in the building of a home in the wilderness. When his plane crashes just before freeze-up on a run to a mining camp, the bush pilot is rescued by Indian trappers who care for him in thdr cabin until spring breakup. The novel offers 'insight into the lives of bush pilots and native trappers', and particularly draws on the theme of native rights and how individual natives come to deal with festering situations. Stewart (Doug) Dickson's novel Broken Wing, has just be printed in Vancouver and will be ready for distribution September 10. At a gathering of publishers' reps and book distributors in Vancouver in August, 1200 copies of Broken Wing were ordered. \"An encouraging beginning,\" Doug said, \"The launching of the book will take place in Calgary, September 14 with press and book distributors present,\" Doug said. \"Coincidentally,\" he added, \"at the same time in Calgary there is a grand reunion of those who were part of the British Commonwealth Air Training j Plan back in WWII. I was an , ' instructor in that tremendous I training program from 1942 tin- til 1945; first in the elementary flying school, then in Advanced Service Flying Training, later an instructor of student instructors, and finally a Wings Testing Officer in the final tests for pilots wings. We called the plan \"Canada's University of the Air.\" Returning to the novel, Doug said, \"It was flattering to see , the half-page feature announcement of Broken Wing in the international fall catalogue of Raincoast Book Distributors, Not all books get that much space.\" \"In this edition there are 10,000 copies, part in hard cover and part in soft. The book will be sent to the international book fair in Frankfurt this October. And I much appreciate the commendatory statements of Lester Peterson's The Gibsons Landing Story and of Bruno Gerussi and as well as one by Stan Dixon of the Sechelt Band that will appear on the book's dust cover. Doug concluded our interview with an anecdote arising out of some confusion in communications with the copyright office in Ottawa. \"They thought the title was Broken Wind, which they found rather unusual. \"Now my publisher calls me the old you-know- what.\" By the way, for those of you with copies of Les Peterson's The Cape Scott Story (1974), look again at Chapter VI which is an account of the function of the air force staiton in Holberg and the beginnings of the Cape Scott Provincial Park, written by Doug Dickson then the commanding officer of the station. Les was always grateful for Doug's work in getting the Cape Scott story published. He wrote in Doug's copy when he autographed it, \"To Doug, my co-author, without whom there would be no Cape Scott Story.\" Later this month when you go into the local bookstore nearest you, the dust cover will catch your eye. Artist Ed Hill has portrayed the wilderness scene as the author visualizes it, and Angel Strehlen, the faces of the story's characters. The graphics throughout the book are by John Weyburg. FALL FAIR This Saturday, Septembr 8, the Fall Fair of former years will be revived in all its fun and interest for old and young. A sampling of the entries for judging: home baking, wines, handicrafts, a 'mutt' show, salmon barbecue and entertainment as well. Cfdl 886-7476 for more infor- mation. And of course attend at St. Bartholomew's Hall, the mall, Gibsons Elementary grounds, the former Women's Institute Building. RECYCLING PLASTIC A reader asked what is done with the plastic rings that the liquor stores are accepting from people who take the trouble to turn them in. The manager of the Gibsons Liquor Store tells me that the rings are sent to a warehouse in Vancouver and then recycled in a plant in Surrey. \"We wouldn't collect them unless there was some useful reason,\" he said.

The ambulaiKe service uses the hover craft to transport emergency cases to Vancouver hospitals at night after the ferries have stopped running. The proposed site will be 500 feet west of the wharf and will consist of a cement pad and some fill. The Regional District will undertake to keep the area free of logs and other beach debris and will also post signs to restrict parking. Roberts Creek Creek shooting problem by Bev Cranston, 886-2215 The area above the power- lines in Roberts Creek is becoming more populated now that Lockyer is the main road. A concerned resident at a Roberts Creek Community Association meeting last spring voted to request the regional district to extend the shooting boundary past the powerlines. lt apparently has just been an accepted standard in the past, and Gibsons RCMP concur, that the power- lines are the boundary. Not so, says the 1990/91 BC Hunting Regulations. The map of the Gibsons/Roberts Creek/Sechelt area shows the shooting boundary starts 500 metres north of the BC Hydro right-of-way (powerlines). And did you also know the discharge of rifles is prohibited on Keats Island? Gibsons RCMP state anyone under legal age should have parental supervision when firing airguns, that is, pellet guns and BB guns. And it is totally illegal to shoot a 22 or anything heavier in a residential area. Hunting season is coming up.

HOME LEARNING Brian and Sonja of Lockyer Road in Roberts Creek are amongst the growing number of parents who wish to educate their children at home. As Brian says \"getting involved with your kids if you have the time, is important to your kids' growth.\" Their oldest daughter is school age this fall, and to combat the only hesitation they have with home education, that is fear of kids being isolated from other kids, Brian and Sonja want to become involved with other parents in the community who want to try the home education method as well. The program is called 'Correspondence and Distance Learning'. It is a complete package of learning, at no charge, put out by the Ministry of Education. Everything is supplied ��� books, supplies, tests, etc. Apparesntly primary ��� children spend only two to three hours per day studying and learning, and then their tests are 1 sent to Victoria to be marked. Brian has a friend in Vancouver whose child is in the upper elementary grades and has been taking the home courses for three years now and is doing better than in-school pupils who are achieving average grades. If you are interested in joining in this program give Brian or Sonja a call at 1-649-4050 (cellular). LIBRARY NEWS There are 42 new books on the shelves of the Roberts Creek Library this week.

Mary Chester, Denise Howse, and new partner juanita Wannamaker bring their creative energy to this bright spot in town. Re-opened in November 1989 after the building was extensively renovated and expanded, the owners then got the chance to design the interior to reflect their style. Formerly, Truffles was known for it's candy, chocolates & ice cream, but after the renovations the menu expanded as well to include Mary's wonderful home-made muffins. Mornings are special at Truffles. There's the aroma of muffins & cookies baking & soup simmering. Truffles is a meeting place where people can enjoy the best cup of coffee in town ��� only Murchie's best is brewed. Sandwiches are made to order and are generous in size, & there's always a daily quiche special and great desserts to tempt your willpower. Chocolate lovers know that Callebaut Belgian chocolates are the best and Truffles carries a full selection, with some made on the premises. Known for the line up out the door for their wonderful ice cream cones served in home-made waffle cones (the aroma has lured people from blocks away) and repeat customers from everywhere, whatever your taste you'll satisfy it at Truffles Cafe and Confectionery.

Imagine being married to someone for that long! At the Pioneer Picnic held on Sunday, August 26 the community association celebrated this wonderful accomplishment. It was a complete surprise to them. Shop Easy donated a beautiful cake and they were presented with a lifetime membership to the community association. They were married in Bella Coola by a Native minister. They have two children, a son and daughter, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The family will be holding their celebration on September 8. The Bushells moved to Davis Bay 16 years ago, after living in Bella Coola, Ocean Falls, Langley and Roberts Creek. PIONEER PICNIC The Pioneer Picnic was well attended considering everything that was going on last weekend. Anyway, those who attended had a good time. The com cer- tainly was delicious. The association would like to thank J. Clements Ltd. and Alcola Distributor Ltd. for donating the pop and to Turner Berry for donating the ice cream. Thanks to everyone who helped make the afternoon a success. Special thanks has to go to the weather which has managed to cooperate since the first Pioneer Picnic five or six years ago. DB/WCCA Now that summer is over we are back in the swing of things. The monthly meeting of the community association will be held on September 10 at 7:30. Our guest will be Bill Le Neve who has been making sauerkraut for many years. Here's your chance to learn all you ne*d to know about making sauerkraut.

WELCOME BEACH PLANS At a recent meeting of the Sechelt Seniors Congregate housing for seniors by Joyce Ostry If you are thinking about moving to congregate housing here are some suggestions: DO.. .Take lots of lime, make repeat visits with friends or relatives to get different opinions. Arrange for a trial visit or overnight stay���with meals. Food is an important part of our daily lives and becomes more so when we retire. Take part in one or two program activities or outings. This allows you to meet other residents. Spend time with the manager and staff. Make several appointments and get to know management policies and attitude. Ask what criteria are used to accept residents and who decides how long you can stay if your needs change (in case of illness, for instance). Make lists of questions and get answers in writing. Ask for written confirmation of any arrangements discussed. Sit back and assess your feelings. Would you fit in and be comfortable? Do you like the way the manager speaks to residents and treats you? DON'T...Be unrealistic in your expectations. You are making a big change and you need time to adjust. Give yourself a chance and allow for that time. Move into a facility that does not provide extra personal care unless you are prepared to move again should you need it.

Pender Patter More junk mail John Williams of Capilano Highway Sen/Ices posts a sign of Impending doom for summer vacation, and a reminder to drivers to slow down as school reconvenes. ���Ken* Milk pinto Egmont News Favourite months hyMyrtfcWtrtM>*rH3-��0W Now that summer is officially over, we can stop worrying about ferry service and highway conditions and garbage (and less-pleasant things) in our water supply. Now's the time to forg�� about problems not hitting us over the head and become upset about other, more visible annoyances. Like junk mail. According to Shirley the epostmistress, not many people have taken the suggestion of forwarding unwanted junk mail to Harvey Andre (minister responsible for Canada Post), but many have agreed with me that junk mail is a problem. So, here's a reasonable suggestion that takes into account the fact that Canada Post derives a not-insignificant revenue from junk mail. For a fete, one would have the privilege of directing mail sorters to not deposit any un- addressed mail into one's mailbox. This fee would offset the loss of revenue to Canada Post, and companys using 'direct mail' for advertising might get the hint that it's not appreciated OLD PHOTOS WANTED The IGA is planning a new decor that includes murals of blown-up photographs of old Pender Harbour.

Problem sub at Nanoose Bay Qlbsons on land claims A letter from the Corporation of Lillooe given a chance to experience a guided tour of the controversial Tetrahedron wilderness area for a donation lo ihe Tetrahedron Alliance, an unincorporated society organized for ihe preservation of the Tetrahedron Plateau. Members of the Tetrahedron .Alliance are asking the Provincial Ministry of Forms to make the area a designated Wilderness Recreational Area and stop the logging of the old growth forest today. For the four weekends in September anyone interested will be able to see first hand why there has been so much effort put into this cause since the Alliance was formed eight months ago. \"The last accessible intact wilderness of the Sunshine Coast is in danger of being lost forever,\" says Dan Bouman, one of the co-founders of the Alliance. As a forestry silviculture consultant, Bouman comments freely that efforts for reforestation in BC are neither thorough nor particularly successful. George Smith of the Alliance told Ihe Coast News: \"A new study has been announced by the Ministry of Forests, and it is our position that since the study has been announced the area should be studied before it is logged.\" Smith went on to say that the public participation process on the Tetrahedron was cut off prematurely. \"People thought they had no other recourse than to form the Tetrahedron Alliance in March of this year, to have their voices heard. We now have 830 members. We are not a reregistered society and may not become one depending on how long this issue takes to resolve.\" Dean Bouman, George Smith and a couple of other members of the Alliance escorted members of the media to the Tetrahedron Plateau August 31, and were quick to point out what was wrong with the system that was allowing this clearcut logging. \"According to the 1974 Chapman Watershed Study, the Minislry of Forests itself recommended there be no harvest activity in the area. We are now dealing with the problems but the logging is continuing,\" Bouman noted. Just 100 meters from one of the four publicly accessible cabins, trees are coming down and the face of the hills which take over 300 years to produce usable timber are being changed. Finding a solution is easy, according to Bouman. Give the licence holder a quota in a different area. That way jobs are not lost and the area is preserved for future generations to enjoy as recreational wilderness. Silviculture, the reforestation of logging areas, should be the number one concern of the Ministry of Forests, not how much money can be made in the short term. On the side of a clearcut mountain, after a friendly greeting from a forest worker who had come up to pick up chain saws left after the cutting of the Batchelor Lake block had begun, Dan Bouman answered some direct questions. What if the clearcutting continues? \"We lose 650 hectares of wilderness timber, the most pristine and beautiful sites on the Sunshine Coast, and habitat for owls and woodpeckers. What will remain of the 5600 hectares in the Tetralwdron Wilderness Proposal presented last March to the Ministry of Forests, will be 2000 hectares crisscrossed with roads. To say nothing of taking out the best timeber. This does not qualify as wildesrnesss.\" What is the alternative? \"Thejre is only one alternative. The area should recrive a wilderness designation where no industrial development, ie: logging or mining roads, can take place. The forest companies can make their money elsewhere. There would be no loss of jobs, but it would mean loggers in this area being flown into logging camps in other parts of the province. We do not want there to be a loss of jobs and we see no reason why there should be.\" How do we address the problem? \"It is a simple and straight forward problem with a simple and straight forward solution. We have absorbed as much compromise as we are willing to take. We need the Ministry to understand that the licence holder can grt wood from another place. We are out to gain public support by education. For eight days in September you can join other people with like concerns and have an opportunity to become directly involve-d. Dan Bouman of the Tetralwdron Alliance indicates the next cutblock of the Tetrahedron Plateau above Batchelor Lake which b being clearcut. In the interest of balanced journalism I spoke with .Barry Mountain, Ministry of Forests spokesman, after returning from my trek to the Tetrahedron. He spoke to the Coast News from his office in Powell River. He explained that the Local Resource Use Plan (LRUP) has not had any public meetings as of yet because of the large number of forest fires this year. \"Steve Waghorn, the person in charge of the LRUP will be available to start the public meetings in late September or early October,\" commented Mountain. One of the objectives of the LRUP would be to determine the boundaries of the study area. When asked why the logging had started in the Batchelor Lake block area, the answer was simply: \"Because it has been approved.\" There were two blocks that were planned to be logged. There have been modifications so that Edward Lake block will not be logged pending the study of the LRUP. The initial public meetings will determine who will be on the planning committee. Barry Mountain explained, \"What is going on is there is a group of people who are favouring wilderness areas, others that are concerned with watershed, and a skiing group who has no problem with the logging at all. All these things are compatible. The initial opposition to the Edwards and Batchelor Lake focused on the water resource issue, but as time went on the campaign issues shifted to the old growth issue. \"Logging is going ahead because the road has gone ahead. It is not fair to call for a moratorium. Generally speak- ���Dan Allen photo ing moratoriums have not been the way to go in this province. There has been a compromise. The LRUP will guide what happens. \"Fifteen hectares is the area that is being logged. They (the Tetrahedron Alliance) would like to see everything stopped. \"Finding an alternative area would not be easy. The simple fact is that it would impart on someone else (other Timber Supply Areas). Right now there is a shortage of wood supply. If you shift from one sector to another you find there are no more areas that we can move someone (licence holder) in. Other areas will take many million dollars to access. Reforestation vs old growth? Mountain had a ready answer to this thorny issue as well. \"If an area cannot be Please turn to page 21 Coast News, September 3,1990 * ' ���:V- ' ' - ' ''~\\, gfy:1 ji,.'

No nasty critters like bears to worry about for one thing. And I sure can't complain about the grub.\" \"No, you don't look as though you're going too short in that department. What do beavers like to eat besides wood products?\" \"Oh, out in the wild we nosh on a lot of different things ��� water plants, berries, wild- flowCTs, mushrooms. No meat though.\" \"How about here in the pwk?\" \"They give us lots of fruit, veggies and some kind of special meal the head-keeper whomps up. Pretty decent stuff. Chow time's in the afternoon. But tell me more about trees. You must have seen some big ones.\" \"Lots of them. Want to hear about a really strange cedar?\" \"Go ahead. I told you beavers don't mind knocking ova the odd cedar every so often.\" \"Even a giant beaver would have had his work cut out with this baby. It stood on a GO acre chunk of property my mother used to own back in the 1950's. Except for the cedar, it was all scrubby second growth. This was a first growth, 16 fcrt around the butt. \"But the top must have been broken off in a storm at some time. It shot straight up for about 100 feet, then split into a crazy triple crown ��� three sucker trees, each a pretty fair size in itself. The sucker trees were evenly spaced and each one leaned out in a different direction. We were kind of proud of that cedar. Used to show it off to visitors.\" \"Sure would like to have seen it,\" the beaver declared. \"Never heard of one like that.\" \"Ye*ah, it was quite something. Well, a partner and myself began cutting shakes on the property. Shakes are hand- split shingles we use on the roofs of our houses. We bucked up all the snags and blowdowns first. I'd got sort of attached to the weird cedar, and we had no idea how to go about falling it in any case. But after about a year, the shake timber started to run out. That big tree had to oome down, so we called in an expert. \"The faller we had hired sized the tree up. After a bit, he took his chainsaw and began to cut. We just stood back and watched. After a bit, the filler nodded to himself, walked around the tree and threw in what looked like a damn shallow undercut considering the size of the thing. He went back to his original position and started sawing seriously. The chain seemed to be cutting real easy like a hot knife through butter.\" \"Guess that .beats chewing all right,\" concedes the beaver. \"We can knock over a small tree in 15 minutes but I suppose the steel teeth on those saws of yours are a lot sharper and faster.\" \"Chainsaws are pretty speedy for sure, but this one was really spitting chips. Anyhow, all at once there was a godawful cracking, rending and groaning. Over and down went that tliree- crowned cedar. It hit the ground with a bloody great crash that must have shaken half the country, just lay there broken in three pieces, big as a whale.\" . \"Whew,\" said the beaver, \"that must have been something! But how come a big brute like that went over so easily?\" \"We were wondering that until the butt lifted. The base of the cedar was as hollow as a gourd���just a great empty cave of rotten wood. Luckily for us it wasn't completely a shell. The rot ran out about 15 feet up. From that point to where it divided, the tree was just as sound as your front teieth.\" \"Be damned!\" said the beaver, obviously impressed. \"Did you get many of those shakes out of it?\" \"About 600 dollars worth. That was a lot of money in those days. We worked away on the cedar for the next few weeks. Nice straight-grained wood. We lost ourselves a landmark but we put a few bucks in our jeans.\" To be continued...

Voluntary Donation j Accepted SC Golf h Country Club Junior champion by Frank Nanson The Junior Club Championship tournament was run off on August 23 and 24 with Matthew Chalmers repeating his win of last year. Matthew came in with gross scores of 77 and 73 for a total of ISO over the two days. In second place was Jeremy Budd with a total of 168 gross and in third Brian Ewart with a 171. The first flight low net winner was Shane Cross with a 146 net. The second flight low gross was Kevin Shorthouse with 224 oveer two days. There is an age difference involved btween the first flight and second flight players, of course. The 18 hole ladies August 21 results were as follows: Nora McKibbin won in first flight with Ruby Head second and Doreen Harris third. Second flight winner was Linda Evans with Dot Utterback second and Marjorie Ross third. Linda broke 100 for the first time with a great score of 95. She was also the winner of the summer club pin. Third flight was won by Peggy Small and fourth flight by Olive Shaw. The senior men had 75 out on Thursday playing a' round wherein the driver was designated for each hole. The Jim Gilchrist consisting of Bill Bader, Glen Marden, Art Manning and George Cooper were the low net winners. Apparently Fred Moore and his group were short of tees and did well to replenish their supply. John Ewens drove closest to the hole on the 8th green. Pender Golf by Jerry Holmes Last Thursday the ladies were honoured by seven visitors from the Sunshine Coast Golf Club. With the cooperation of the Weather Guru, the two flights had a perfect day of golf. Low Gross in the first flight, with a 44, was Marcia Keim with Joyce Reid as runner-up. Low net was won by Ruth Norman, posting a 32, with Jan Watson taking runner-up honours. Jan Robertson won low gross for the second flight with a 57. Elsie Colling took second low gross. Low net of 34 was won by Adie Gay ton. Gladys Warner was runner-up. A turnout of 36 made Monday's Twilight another success. The low foursome, posting a 35, included Helen Crabb, Peg Lawrenuk, Jim Menzies and Ken Hoodct. Only one shot back was the charging team of Jan Watson, Elsie Colling, Bruce Hamilton and Dutch Haddon. Jim Menzies' KP on 3 probably was a factor in the team win, and Peg Lawrenuk, with a 40 handicap, made local history by knocking her drive closest to the pin on the long par three number six hole. The long drives were won by Jan Watson and Ed Roop. As has become the custom this year, a grand array of finger food goodies capped the evening. Ray Hansen and his talented crew have now completed the de-watering process on the second fairway, and, if the finished product is half as good as it looks now, we should end up with a really great fairway by next spring. The final evening of play for the mixed twilighters was held last Monday, August 27. Only five holes were played in a 'low putts' contest for the new 'Faulafer Trophy' which was donated by Tony's Locks. This trophy, which is 24 inches high, will be up for grabs each year. The winner this year was George Cooper, who tied with Walt Faulafer, and won out in the playoff. See what you started, Walt! The evening culminated in a dinnr which was attended by 50 players. Everyone in attendance got a door prize. The ladies club championship results will tie in next week's paper. ��Gibsons Swimming Pool Cill 886-9415 for fuMiir information Early Brd 6:30-8:30 Early Bird Aqua-Fit 9:00-10:00 Aqua-Fit Parent & Tot 10:30-11:00 Seniors Swim Now Swim 11:00-1:00 Noon Swim Lessons Swim Club 7:30-8:30 Lengths Only/Masters 8:30-10:00 Tuesday el Thurtday Seniors Fitness 10:00-11:00 3:30-7:30 Swim Club Public Underwater Hockey 6:30-8:30 9:00-10:00 10:00-11:00 11:00-1:00 3:30-5:30 5:30-7:30 7:30 Seniors Swim Adpt.

For complete results see Page IS. ���Rom NktolKM pkolo Aquatic Centre opens September 10 The Gibsons Aquatic Centre will open Monday, September 10 for the 1990/1991 season. Centre Director Wendy Gilbert- son has announced a new schedule; which appears in the ad on page 18, there will not be ein increase in admission charges over past rates! Meanwhile, the aquatic commission, composed of representatives of Areas D, E, F and the Town of Gibsons have been busy with redevelopment plans to include new locker rooms, enlarged hot tub, spectator amenitites and a general upgrade of the whole facility. Architect Vic Davies of Victoria has been contracted to provide the initial plans, and financing arranged on a 'pay as you go' budget. The success of the aquatic centre can be attributed to the contributors from .Areas D, E, F and the Town. The other vital factor being the use of the pool by residents of the Coast. Like all community services the above two factors are the key to continued operation. All individuals and groups are encouraged to consider some activity at the aquatic centre as part of their recreation/ fitness program during the fall and winter. For further information phone the centre at 886-9415. Yacht club Gibsons Yacht Club will hold a Special General Meeting September 19 at 8 pm in the Marine Room of the Gibsons Library. Purpose of this meeting is to establish a new budget and to present plans for the new clubhouse and marine centre. The Annual Fishing Competition will be held September IS. This event, for members only, starts at sun-up, with weigh- in period from 3 to 3:30 pm followed by a barbecue. ���������������������������������������I REGISTRATION 1990/91 Season Saturday, Sspt. 8th, 10 am - 2 pm at Trail Bay Mall, Sechelt & Sunnycrest Mall, Gibsons SCHEDULE {Pending Registration) MONDAY 4:00-4:30 4:30-4:45 4:45-5:30 5:30-6:00 6:00-7:00 7:00-7:45 TUESDAY 12:30-1:30 12:45-1:15 1:30-2:30 Patch Stroking Free Skate Dance Canskate Novice/Adult Precision TEST & CANFIGURE Canskate Tiny Tot Adult WEDNESDAY 3:30-4:00 4:00-5:00 5:00-6:00 Tiny Tot Canskate Canskate Novice 3:45-4:15 4:15-4:30 4:30-5:00 5:00-5:30 5:30-6:00 6:00-7:00 THURSDAY 4:00-4:30 4:30-4:45 4:45-5:15 5:15-5:45 Patch Stroking Freeskate Dance Tiny Tot Canskate Patch Stroking Free Skate Dance For Mors Information 885-3454 or 885-2660 Hot Spots and Hints LOCATION: PRODUCTION: Camp Byng FMN Davis lay FAIR Ttal Islands FAIR FAIR KM Rick FAIR/0000 Epim N*l FAIR/0000 Uaquitl liland Sangitw liland Tnttta liland MOD largata Harbour FAIR/SOOD The start ot last week was very strong, but slowed down . towards the end.

As of this writing, the World Series is stuping up as a seven- game slugfest (hopefully), most probably pitting the resurgent .Pittsburgh Pirates against the pretty boy 'AY from Oakland. While anything cart happen with more than a month to go in the regular schedule, to say nothing of the playoffs preceding the series, tne smart money is on Oakland and Pittsburgh. With Jose Canseco back in form after his much-publicized injury (he sprained his back and ruptured both retina as a result of contemplating the 26 million bucks he recently re-signed for), Oakland has power and speed to spare. Some skeptics claim that, because the Oakland uniforms run some t>-7 ounces lighter than those of their American League competition, this gives them an unfair edge, I it I say this is just hogwash, pure hooey. Oakland has played more games in the rain this season than any other team in thdr league, so their uniforms, on average, have weighed aboul what the others do. Pittsburgh is being challenged by Cincinnatti, will probably wind up facing them in the playoffs, but without Pete Rose around to \"put in the fix\" (metaphorically speaking), what chance do the Htd Legs really have anyway? As for Beoston, well the Red Sox, perennial tankers of the American League East, will probably hang in there just long enough to clinch their division and then lose (or give away) the American League Pennant to Oakland. One wonders whether the Boston management should hedge their bets and sign Ted Williams luck onto the club as a designated hitter for the League Championship and World Series only. Sure, Ted is in his early 70's by now, but Satchel Paige was still pitching when he was pushing 85! Traditionally, the World Serin is a great time to take up curling or hockey, thus gaining a beat on the season, but something tells me that this year the boys of summer are gonna turn in one of the most compell- ingly dramatic World Series effort ever made. But, then again, I'm one of those fools who sent a donation to the .Ben Johnson Defense Fund immediately following the Olympics. So what do I know, eh?

The Public Relations Representative of the Ministry had the following to say about clearcut- ting. \"I am not happy with what I see as to what has gone on over the past 20 years. Much of this was condoned. I am not happy with what I sw in terms of the large amount of openings. Any reasonable individual would not be pleased with what has. gone on up there (the Tewhedron) in the 50's and 60's. When asked if the Ministry was staffed well enough to monitor the practices of the log- gin industry, Mountain preferred not to comment. When asked who has input to the LRUP, Barry Mountain suggested that everyone don. \"The Forest eSetrvice is opening things up so that all values are considered; wilderness vaults; old growth values; recreational values. \"We want the public to be involved...more involved. I welcome the Tetrahedron Alliance. It is groups like that who will add to the input of the process.\" As we followed the logging road down from the mountains, behind us the grey and ' devastated slopes above Tannis .

Strait action urgently needed Editor: After paddling across Georgia Strait last Saturday in the First Annual Save the Straits Marathon, I feel more strongly than ever the need for taking direct and urgent action to rescue this magnificent inland sm from ecological death. Sitting low in the seat of a kayak stroking the waves for five hours, you can hardly fail to sense the immensity of the strait's surging lifeforce. On the surface she seems so overpowering, so perfect, it becomes hard to believe she is so sick inside. But the symptoms are un- mistakeable. In 40 yean of living on these shorn I have never seen immense clots of dead algae floating around in open waters like I have this year. I know what that nwans -nutrient overload, oxygen cycle collapse, stagnation, dead waters. 1 have watched it happen to the beautiful clear lagoons I swam in as a child around Pender Harbour, now replaced by fetid, lifeles sloughs. We have the dioxin reports, the coliform imports, the shellfish closures. We have the warning of Jacques Cousteau ringing in our ears, pleading with us not to destroy the last of the globe's great inshore marine biosystems. We hear a lot of talk from industry and government about the millions of dollars they are supposedly spending to do something. Yet every year the total tonnage of pulpmill waste, or urban sewage, of spilled oil, of toxic dumping, increases alarmingly. There is nothing currently on the government's books which we can count on to resvetrse this trend.

A comprehensive study of Georgia Strait as a unique ecosystem. 2. Comprehensive ongoing monitoring of our inshore waters' vital signs, with full release of this (and all) environmental information to the public. 3. An immediate bean on ocean dumping of toxic waste. 4. A policy of zero tokrarrce of industrial pollution of Georgia Strait targeted for the year 2000. 5. Re-establishment of a powerful and well-funded Environmental and Land Use Secretariat with a mandate to research and analyse environmental problems. 6. Establishment of a Georgia Basin Authority to collatiorate with the Puget Sound authority in monitoring amd regulating the inshore marine bioregion of the Pacific Northwest. I am convinced none of this will happen under the present government. Given yet another term, the Vander Zalm administration will lose its current affection for environmental issues a quickly and inexplicably as they found it. I am equally corniced NDP Leader Mike Harcourt's avowed dnram of making the Gwrgia Basin and the entire province a model of good enviromenial management is sincere. This is why I have laid aside my other acivities to help him bring that dream about. Howard White ���Editor's Note: Mr. White is the NDP candidate for the Mackenzie Riding.

Coast News, September 3,1990 Community Services fundraiser Gala Dance plans set by Rote NkAoboa \"Instead of going door to door to raise funds this year, we thought we'd give people the opportunity to have fun and support Community Services at the same time,\" said Hilary Estergaard, president of the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society (SCCSS). Estergaard was speaking about the Gala Dance planned for September 22 that will feature a fully catered dinner, a celebrity master of ceremonies, and a well known popular band and some local entertainment. Some of the prizes to be raf fieri will be a weekend at Nancy Greene Lodge in Whistler, an art prim by Ed Hill and a 50 dollar coupon towards a package holiday. \"Everything for the evening is being donated,\" said Estergaard, \"so all the proceeds will go to the Society. Even though we're government fund- ed, quite a few of our groups find themselves in a deficit position at the end of every year, and that means fundraising, or cutting back on service to people on the Coast.\" Started in 1974, the SCCSS is an umbrella organization for 11 service groups that include Audio Books, the Infant Development Program, Minibus, Parent-Tot Drop-in, Rainbow Preschool, Sechelt Food Bank, Special Services to Children, Telephone Tree, Transition House, Volunteer Action Centre and Volunteer Drivers. The Audio Books Service last year provided over 1400 'talking' books for 27 regular and many short term users, people who enjoy reading but who are unable to do so for some reason. The Infant Development Program provides a home- based consultation f .vice for children up to three years old who are showing a delay in development and helps parents to find the appropriate treatment. This year saw an expanded Paratransit Service, which brought a second Minibus on- stream for public uansportation and improved r vice to disabled passengers.

The Rainbow Preschool is a parent operated preschool in Roberts Creek with an enrollment of IS three and four year olds. Special Services to Children provides help and counselling for spedetl needs children from six to 19 years of age and their families. This year the Transition House provided temporary refuge and counselling for 88 families, including 75 children, and Project Parent offered support to young parents, pregnant teens and families where dysfunctional family .patterns are developing. An average of 150 people received one or two bags of groceries twice a month at the Food Bank and nine Telephone Tree volunteers make daily phone contact with 20 people from 39 to 90 years of age who are confined to their homes. Legal Information Service, a pilot project initiated this year to determine whether there was a need for a legal information and counselling serivce, has been very well used, \"and we've just heard,\" snd Estergaard, \"that we're going to grt funding for mother year.\" The Volunteer Action Centre acts as a co-ordination centre for all the volunteers of the many groups on the Coast, and the Volunteer Driver Program matches drivers with those that need help to get to doctor's appointments at the medical clinic or in Vancouver. The annual budget for Community Services for 1987/88 was $300,000, most of which was administered for the provincial government, and came in the form of grants from the Ministry of Social Services and Housing and the Ministry of Transport. Smaller grants came from the Regional District and the Town of Sechelt. Donations from charitable organizations, businesses and individuals, local fundraising and some fees for services made up the rest of the revenue. \"The Board of Directors is a very dedicated group,\" said Estergaard. \"Everybody pulls their weight, everybody comes to meetings, the committees all work very heard, there's a very positive attitude. We've grown with leaps and bounds with all the new serviors.\" .Estergaard herself, who has been on the board for nearly six years, puts in one full day a week at the Society's office, as well as evening meetings. \"1 enjoy it,\" she said. \"It's a good group of people, and there's a lot of positive feedback. That's why people stick with it, and why we have others who want to get involved. \"That's good, because there has been a big increase in the demand for our services with the recent influx of people on the Coast.\" PHILLIPINES and MORE FROM '1265 Cdn.

The intent of the report, commissioned by the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD), was to deal only with the effects logging might have on the water supply, and not to address any of the othw issues that have raised a storm of protest in retxnt months. Golding recommends that \"no timber harvest should be allowed that would increase the hydrologically unrecovered percentage of either watershed to greater than 30 per cent.\" The report defines 'hydrologically recovered' as the condition that develops after logging where new growth has developed to the point where conditions are approximately equivalent to the pre-logged period, and suggests that this would usually be about 10 years. Regional Director Jim Gurney cautioned that the high altitude and other factors in the watershed could have a significant effect on recovery and the 10 year period may not be enough. Further recommendations suggest limiting the size and shape of cutblocks; leaving buffer strips of uncut timber along streams; replanting after three years if natural regeneration is unsatisfactory; and careful consideration of road building practices to insure control of runoff. In preparing his report, Golding drew on several previous studies, particularly a 20 year study of two streams in the Vancouver watershed. These studies indicate that logging does not increase the volume of water in streams at peak flow periods, but, in many cass, actually decreases the flow due to a staggering effect. It was also found that natural scouring of stream beds in unlogged areas during peak flow periods can cause as much, or more, sedimentation in streams as logging dos. The earlier studies found that slash burning and herbicide spraying caused drastic increases of the content of nitrates and other chemicals in the soil and water. These increass, particularly in the cass of herbicides, can occur a few years after spraying, indicating, pointed out Gurney, that decaying vegetation, rather than the herbicide is responsible. Gurney, commenting further- on the report, pointed out that it focused manly with the Batchelor and Edwards Lakes cutblocks and did not address past logging practices, except in the context of those two areas. He recommended that the waste material pils on the Edwards Lake Road be stabilized and that a plan of hydrologic zons be initiated for the purpose of establishing the percentage of non-hydrologically recovered areas in each zone.
