V8V 1X4 ��I.�� d bear ties decry natural gas plans by Jan Michael Sherman and Joel Johnstone Delivery of natural gas to the Sunshine Coast was a concern of both Sechelt and Gibsons last week, as pressures mounted to quickly sign operating agreements with the Vancouver Island Gas Company Ltd. (VIGAS). "I think it is a benefit to bring gas to Sechelt," said Derek Ashford, the municpali- ty's Director of Engineering and Operations, "But not at the point of a gun." After reporting at some length to the Public Works Committee last Wednesday, Ashford met with the Coast News the following morning to discuss the situation further. "Sechell needs a program (submitted to it) which states where and when we will be serviced with natural gas," Ashford said. "And not a 20-year program - but a five- year basis." Ashford noted that VIGAS is desirous of using the agreement signetd by Powell River as a model for all other agreements currently under discussion or negotiation by various municipalities including Gibsons, Comox, Campbell River and Ladysmith. "We want a majority of the things contained in the Powell River agreement," Ashford noted, "But we want more. There are further benefits to the residents of Sechelt that don't exist in the proposed operating agreement." One of the most crucial questions centering on the VIGAS operating agreement has to do with just who gets the gas. "What percentage of Sechelt residents will actually receive hookups?" Ashford wants to know. "Under Phase One of the agreement," Ashford went on, "the Trail Bay Mall, schools, the hospital, the Sechelt Indian Band Theatre, and our 'commercial area.' " And if a .Sechdt resident happens to live in the general area of the route which the gas line will take - you get service. "That's strictly a hot-spotting approach," declared Ashford. Hot-spotting is a term which ultimately comes down to skimming the cream from any operation for purposes of economic self-interest on the part of the business involved. Public Works Chairman, Alderman Bob Wilson, echoed Ashford's sentiments and happily went further. "It is creaming. I'll say that." Wilson went on to point out that "When it comn to running a utility, it only makes sense that you pick up the payers and the non-payers alike. It's only fair." But fainvtss doesn't always enter into the real life struggle for profit, and Derek Ashford testifies to the kind of pressure being exerted by VIGAS on Sechelt. "A week after I ixgan negotiations with VIGAS President Bob O'Shaughnessy, he said that part of their program was to consider having the operating agreement imposed upon (the municipality) by going to the BC Utilities Commission - which has the power to do such a thing." Ashford paused and smiled a trifle ruefully. "A few days later he did just that to us - and 12 other municipalities." Perhaps the area of gravest concern at the moment to Sechelt and the other municipalities involved in negotiations with VIGAS is that of time. "The time frame beting imposed by VIGAS is such that it is impossible for the new council to identify the ramifications of the contents of the agreement, and to be properly informed," said Ashford. "As well, this process (VIGAS's) eliminates council's options of a refwendum (to obtain a franchise)." Last Tuesday there was a prehearing conference before the BC Utilities Commission in Victoria. Sechelt and the 12 other municipalities involved were asking for a delay in the hearing (scheduled for early January) to give the municipalities time to adequately prepare their cases regarding the operating agreement applications. Sechelt has asked that the hearing be moved back until Aprils, 1991. Meanwhile, Gibsons Mayor Eric Small told his Town Plan ning Committee the natural gas franchise agreement "is one area I have a lot of confusion and fear over. "The agreement they want us to sign would allow the VIGAS franchise to come into our town and tear up our roads and I see no item under the agreement to supply the natural gas." The committee proposed to contact Powell River Council, who has negotiated an agreement different to the 'standard' agreement set up by the Association of Vancouver Island Municipalities (AVIM), because, as Chairman John McNevin said, "there's no way we can abide by this. "The thing is if we don't negotiate a new agreement then this is the agreement," he said. The whole committee agrees the AVIM agreement leans to Please tarn to page IS Published on the Sunshine Coast 25* per copy on news stands December 17,1990 Volume 44 Issue 51 Ferry slams into dock by Stuart Burnside mecl lnt0 tne main loading dock at Langdale Thursday after- Thee8��<enp/'eOB*Ba>'slam- noon causing an estimated Damage to the two-level ferry dock at Langdale disrupted regular service and is causing "minor" loading delays. ���Joel Johiutonr photo $300,000 in damages and disrupting regular ferry service. The ferry docked with "great exuberance", said one of the passengers on board at the time. As of Friday the BC Ferry Corporation had not indicated to the Coast N.*ws when the dock would be back in service, but Sunshine Coast Regional District Director Gordon Wilson said, in a prepared statement, that assurances had been given by senior managers of the corporation that temporary repairs would be in place by December 18, with final work being completed by the first of the Nerw Year. The collision was apparently the result of rtifcchmicrf'fSiilure in the ferry's hydraulic system, and Wilson, also the chairman of the Sunshine Coast Transportation Committee, said that mechanical failures have been an ongoing problem on the Horseshoe Bay/Langdale run. "It seems with the ageing vessels in service, mechanical failure will be a fact of life for Coast residents," said Wilson. Until the repairs to the dock are finished, regular ferry traffic is being routed to the ramp across the parking lot from the scene of the accident, according to BC Ferry personnel. The problem with the alternative ramp is that it only loads on one level, where the damaged ramp loaded on two. Service from the alternate dock will be provided by the Queen of Cowichan. The ship is older, slower and smaller than the Queen of Oak Bay, but has the advantage of an "articulating" ramp, allowing its upper deck to be loaded from within. "There will be delays in crossing," said a BC Ferries representative, "but they should be minimal." Wilson believes the current problem at Langdale Terminal would have had less impact if the F^my Corporation had agreed to build a second two level loading ramp at the same time they built the one now temporarily out of commission. He also said the recent problem "underscores the need to get two new, faster vessels on this (Langdale/Horseshoe eBay) Access across Indian Lands causing anguish by Jan Michael Sherman Back in 1968, a man named Erling Weholm bought a piece of relatively isolated property in West Porpoise Bay. Although there was (and is) no public utility service, no municipal water, and (apparently) no phon<ts, Mr. Weholm built a house on his land. There vias one catch, a catch which Weholm should have .I'.'fwi aware of, but might not have been. The only atxess to his property.���by land���is on Sechelt Indian Band land. For the last 22 years,,Mr. Weholm has come and gone via the "logging" road which accesses his and the other four neighbouring lots, although one source notes that Weholm himself claims to have travelled to and from his home by water as well. On November 8, 1990, the Setchelt Indian Band sent Mr. Weholm a letter, informing him that he would now be subject to a "permit fee" of $375 a year, in return for which he would have sanctioned access to his property. "We didn't know Mr. Weholm existed until quite recently", said Chief Tom Paul. "We really don't know how long���or how often���this gentleman has been accessing his property through our lands." Chief Paul did, however, know how long a Mr. Ayres���one of Weholm's neighbours���had been availing himself of the same access road. "He's been using the road for 31 years", Tom Paul recalled, adding that "And he's been paying us a permit fee (for the priviledge) all that time. He started at something like $35 a year and now it's up to $750." At last Wednesday's Sechelt Planning Committee meeting, a letter from Erling Weholm was introduced which, in essence, remonstrated about the permit fee levied on him by the Sechelt Indian Band. Weholm argued that the fee was excessive, claimed that he didn't get much for his tax dollar as it was, and looked to the council for some kind of relief.

That's the third time in the last month," said a somewhat exasperated Director Trish Wray. "We'll probably fix the fence ourselves but it's a lot of man hours." Wray says in the last six to eight months, front, rear and side fencing has been kicked apart, toys and bicycles broken or stolen, and the RCMP can't seem to put a stop to it. Nearby residents, who fear retaliation strikes on their property if they complain, say teenagers���most likely from Elphinstone School���are to blame. "The RCMP came up once and parked just in sight of them. As soon as they parked the kids scattered." The last damage spree is estimated to have happened between 11 pm and 11:30 pm, December 2. Next door to Molly Mouse is a shrubbery lot with undeveloped building foundations which staff and residents say is an ideal hiding spot and gathering place for the boys and girls suspected of causing the damage. Wray says she is reluctant to claim the damage on the daycare's insurance because deductible costs and a subsequent raising of rates would mean the added cost would be passed on to parents. Arson at Elphi Fire Sett by arsonists destroyed a portable classroom at Elphinstone Swondary School on the night of Sunday, December 9. "It was arson," said Swretary Treasurer Tim Anderson. "Someone started a fire on the .steps of the building. It's now in the hands of the police." Prompt action by the Gibsons Volunteer Fire Department prevented the fire from spreading to the main school building and another nearby portable. The portable was used as a regular classroom. Students will be aeccommodited in the cafeteria until a replacement! building can be built. "Our building crew is busy building two or three portables in other parts of the ttlstrict," said Anderson, "But they will start rebuilding right away. The new building should be ready In a month or two." Over the last six to eight ���oaths, the Molly Mouse Daycare kids have put up with bigger kids vandalizing their daytime Ihhm. The first weekend of December marked the third time since October that toys, femes and mhwiatoas items were damaged. -Joh Joomimk pinto Serving the Sunshine Coast since 1945 eMMMlMlMBMai itttt mmmsmi v^Vfc*^-*:.-; 3a3g;.'-.':"r^0ffiSg3i3s; StKVa-t-t'l *-'-t~~\y . - J" ���������-<-���* -' "A* ���������*-���". ".TV.- ���T.-'ri.��l.����,- Coast News, December 17,1990 comment: Too sad for laughter More often than not it is difficult to take some politicians seriously, were it not for the sad fact that the laughs generally do not come cheap���and they are ultimately on us. A case in point is the current internecine free-for-all consuming the energies, passions, and concentrated intelligences of the Socreds which should properly be going to the tricky art of governance. The Environment Minister resigns in high dudgeon (and strictly as a "matter of principle") following his Premier's abrupt and suspwt killing of a set of tough anti-pollution regulations targeting the pulp mill industry. John Reynolds is immediately dubbed "heroic" by all those who aren't busy labelling him a political opportunist for further rocking the unstable Soaed ship of state. William Vander Zalm's awesome linguistic and logical abilities to instantly rewrite history to his ownb<tst advantage is the stuff of which political legends are made. Following Mr. Reynolds' resignation, Vander Zalm claim- esd everything leading up to it was a misunderstanding, this bang said while all evidence pointed to his having knuckled under to the tender ministrations of an industry he needs for re-election purposes. A re-election which is looking more and more doubtful, thanks to the numerous Socred constituency organizations out to prove that if their leader won't fall on his sword voluntarily, they can always weld it to his hand with Crazy Glue and then trip him as he saunters by pretending thdr revolt doesn't exist. Poetic injustice Gerard Veilleux is the President of the CBC. This is the same man who two weeks ago wielded a Conan-like battle axe with which he struck down some 1100 jobs and carved out some $108 million from the CBC's already undernourished budget. The consensus of opinion amongst those who supposedly know about these things, is that Mr. Veilleux is really an in-house assassin installed there by Mr. Mulroney for the very purpose of dismantling the CBC, an institution which the Conservatives hate with a passion that knows no bounds and brooks no appeal to reason, tradition or cultural value. And now, in what surely must be viewed as a gruesome, even sick joke, particularly by newly ex-employees of the CBC and those fortunate enough to have retained their positions, it has been announced that Gerard Veilleux has just received an award. He was named for the Outstanding Achievement Award, Canada's highest civil service award. We wonder if he will order the CBC to televize the presentation ceremony. - fiom our files - We Remember When S YEARS AQO 'High Stakes', a $5 million film, being shot with an all Canadian cast and crew and financed with Canadian money, has recently used locations on the Sunshine Coast to film the movie's final sequences.

' SUBSCRIPTION RATES Ceneae: 1 Yeir H��;�� Monthe HO; Foreign t Ymr Me n search of a caring consensus I am haunted by an image these days, an image of Canada as we enter the 1990's. The image probably comes from the hey day of Canadian optimism, the late 1950's or early 1960's. There is a group of people in a railway dining car in the evening traversing the Rocky Mountains. They are a relatively well-dressed and affluent group and they are bickering shrilly. Seated at white linen-covered dining tables with glasses sparkling, the table laid with spotless silver and the certainty of a good meal just ahead of them, these Canadians are arguing their relative righteousness. Some are more passionately concerned about the environment than others, they claim; some are persuaded that they care more about the suffering of the poor; others are more stridently concerned about women's rights than the others. The debate is lively, the participants intense. Outside in the gathering dark the train has gone out of control and is plunging down the mou- tainside towards what seems certain disaster. Oblivious, the verbal antagonists spar on, catching their reflections, if they look towards the windows at all, with approval as they make some particularly spirited or worthwhile rejoinder in the whirling debate. That, my friends, is my image of Canada at this time in its history. We are moving inexorably towards serious economic dif ficulties in this country, one authority says there are 252,000 more Canadians unemployed in this country than there were last year; we live in a country, unbelievable in the 1950's, that accepts the fact that thousands live on the streets without homes and the prostitution of pre-pubescent boys and girls in our major cities is a commonplace. Besides the economic portents, ' there are grave sociological and political divisions besetting this country. Canada, the peaceful giant is riddled with divisions and debates. Its future has never seemed more fraught with peril. What this country needs is the creation of a caring wnsen- sus. In times such as these it ill behooves us to preen and prance our petty righteousnesses before each other in triumph. Such prancing has much in common with the d<ecadent court of Versailles before the French Revolution swept it all away. A caring consensus, caring for people and above all, caring for the environment which makes all life possible is needed. A reverence for the creation which sustains is tailed for now. We must make alliances against disaster and the dark and we must make them soon. As an example: there are among us the over-heat<ed and self-congratulatory who denounce the pulp mills of British Columbia for the undoubted terrible damage they have inflicted on the environment. In the 1950's, in answer to a spoken complaint about the smell of pulp mills, W.A.C. Bennett, the master populist politician of the 20th Century in British Columbia, is reputed to have said: "Son, that's the smell of money". It is an attitude which has come down to us into the late 1980's. It is not just that the pulp mills have polluted; they have polluted with the permission Of the provincial government which has taken the advice of the local governments as recently as a couple of years ago. In other words, through our elected representatives we have all acquiesced and benefitted from the pollution that has taken place. There is no place or time for righteousness now. We need a consensus to fix things and we need a policy to ensure that those dislocated economically while we fix things, are provided for. It may amaze how many of the creeping social ills that exercise us would be ameliorated if there were provisions for economic security for our people, ij"'',"' Meanwhile, as W sfiore ,up our self images with verbal violence in the dining car, outside in the gathering dark our train is plunging faster and faster out of control. We are fiddling while Rome burns. SNOW of Snow comes on the breath winter And makes lace on the branches of trees. It puts coned hats on the fencepoles, And covers earth's scars with ease. Out of homes tumble the children Who greet the snow with They taste It, they love every flake of It As It fills the air with white light. Snow falls from skits that look leaden Onto the earth far below, Softly, quietly ��� flake by flake It falls The silent magic of snow. Janey Tomlinson For some there Is pain When sadness comes at Christmas by Eta Warner Christmas, for most people, is an especially happy time; a time for family, friends and good cheer. Howetver, for many others it is a time of year thety dread. Last Christmas I experienced that feeling of dread as it was the first Christmas after the death of my one month old son. Coping through Christmas after the death of a loved one is a major hurdle. One txcomes acutely aware of how happy the rest of the world seems. Last year I felt like everybody had a baby except me. It seemed that everywhere I went, I was cm- fronted with "Baby's first Christmas" merchandise which serveM to remind me that my baby would not be here to see his first Christmas���or any subsequent ones. .Bereaved people cope in different ways. My husband and I decided not to celebrate in the usual manmr���we would not have enjoyed ourselves anyway as we could not (and did not want to) pretend nothing was amiss. We decided to forgo buying each oth<tr gifts, and instead we donated the money we would have spent to BC's Children's Hospital. We didn't bother with a tree and we spent Christmas Day quietly at home. As we found, anticipating Christmas was worse than the actual day. After all, it's just .another day that comes and goes like all the rest. Of course, many people did not understtnd our neteds during the holiday .season. They could not see that we were not "dwelling on the put"; we were just trying to deal with the pre sent in the best way, and only we know what works for us. Literature put out by BC's Children's Hospital offers the following suggestions for coping with Christmas: - Doing something symbolic may help you to mark the continued abstract presence of your loved one (ie., burning a special candle or hanging a special Christmas ornament). ��� Take time out to care for yourself. You need it now more than ever. - Realize that it is only natural and right to grieve and feel the pain of your loss. Let yourself cry���the tears and emotions you do not express will be the ones which are destructive to you. ��� If it helps, talk about your memories; remembering your loved one and the holidays. - Don't feel guilty about having some fun and enjoying yourself. It is not a betrayal to your deceased loved one. - Break down your goals into small manageable pieces to be accomplished one at a time. Don't overwhelm or over, commit yourself. - Doing something for someone else may give you a measure of fulfillment. If you are facing your first Christmas after the loss of a loved one, rememt>er you are not alone in your grief, others are also sad at this time of year. Don't be pushed into doing anything you don't want to do. And if you're a friend of a bereaved person, please try to be compassionate and understanding. Ms Warner is a typesetter at Ihe Coast News. (Ltttt.iJL ttr thi. ���dttot Coast News, December 17,1990 Feminist appreciates article Editor: As a feminist, who has long been concerned with the rights and equalities of women, and (specially the many kinds of abuse which are inflicted upon them in a variety of ways, it was with gratitude that 1 read the recent article written by Mr. Sher- man which outlined with clarity and direction the services available to women on this Coast who may need help in un- Pro-abortion rationale tangling their ties to situations in which they are treated cruelly, either physically or emotionally. lt is heart-warming to know that the resources and help are available as the need arises, and that the care-givers are themselves passionate women devoted to their cause "frontline footsoldiers....etc." The fact that this article, showing such compassion and resp<ect for the subjects profiled, was written by a man, gives it special meaning. Now, if he would only call me "fetchingly flamboyant" it would make my day, knowing full well that he was wearing his rose-coloured contacts. Jo Cardinall Editor: For Cathy Williams, or anyone else, to equate Dr. Morgentaler and our own doctors on the Coast with Marc Lepine is, to say the least, offensive and unfair. The role of the doctor is to ensure that abortions are safe. We live in an imperfect world and if a woman is determined to abort, she will, even if no doctor is available and the procedure is banned. Anyone who doubts this should read up on life in South America. If we are concerned about children, it is better to channel our energies into the millions in Canada and around the world who are deprived of food and health care or, equally as bad, love. Many of the former will die before their first birthday; many of the latter will grow up to become disturbed adults. If the feminists among us are some of the strongest proponents of abortion it is, in part, because of their wish to ensure that as few Marc Lepines as possible are born. Mary Werenko Appearance not an issue Editor: 1 am writing in support of Carole Rubin's position on J.M. Sherman's article in the Coast News, December 3,1990, on Violence Against Women. I believe that what Ms Rubin is saying, and I concur with her, is that a physical description ("dark-haired, diminutive") and the passing of judgment on one's character ("no- nonsense" and "fetchingly flamboyant") are neither necessary nor appropriate to such an interview. As readers, we are interested in knowing about the service that is providetd and the credentials of those offering the service. How the women look and whether or not we find them "attractive" are not (should not be) part of their credentials. But it oftens happens that a report on what women have to say is supplemented with a comment on their looks and personality. Another case in point can be found in the December 10,1990 issue of the Coast News. With reference to the inauguration of the two mayors, we are given a hint as to the credibility of Mayor Eric Small in the statements, "On that note, Small took the controls...", and "But Small needed no help in getting down to business". As for Mayor Nancy MacLarty, we are informed that she "appeared in a striking mauve pant suit and a more somber mood than is usually her wont". To comment on appearance and attitude or personality is to pass judgement on those aspects of the person involved. The question I am left with is, why is it that, for some people, how a woman looks and her p<erceived attitude are as worthy of comment as what she has to say, when looks and certain personality traits were not requirements for the job. CarolAnn Glover Another reader agrees with Rubin Editor: I agree with Carole Rubin in her response in Letters to the Editor, December 10, 1990, to Sherman's article on December 3, 1990 on Violence Against Women. It was offensive of Sherman to describe the women he was interviewing in the way he described them. 1 appreciated the fact that there was an article on the topic, but dismissed it as soon as I read the sexist comments. Furthermore Mr. Editor, it was sloppy journalism to have let this slip by you. John Burnside's response in Musings on December 10, 1990 to Rubin smacks of someone who is threatened. The Sherman and Burnside articles need editing, they are unworthy of the Coast News. Margaret Pearson Editor's Note: Mr. Sherman gets the point, stands corrected, and appreciates the stimulating dialogue initiated by our readers.

Dear Premier Vander Zalm: This letter is to express our concern and great dismay with recent announcements by yourself concerning the hazardous chemicals/organo- chlorines emanating from pulp mills and similar industries. We believe it is critical that your government honour the commitment made in May of '89 promising to set maximum limits on pulp mill pollution. We do not agree that past or present economic trends should establish AOX levels. Your commitment to set maximum limits of 2.5 kg AOX per tonne of pulp produced by the end of the coming year and 1.5 kg AOX by the end of 1994 must be honoured. Indeed it is critical that time frames be established for the elimination of all organochlorines from pulp mills. We urge you to reconsider your recent decisions. Our health and the health of nature depends upon your urgent response. Take this step into the future for all of us. Ten Dawe Ocean Resource Conservation Alliance Director Editor: I welcomed Carole Rubin's articulate letter of December 10 in the Coast News. She pointed out, reasonably, that Jan Michael Sherman's physical descriptions of his interviewees were unsuitable for this article. I also agree that Sherman probably needs to examine the sexist attitudes which compel him to describe women by using adjectives from 1950's dime-store novels. John Burnside's vengeful overreaction struck me as a variation of "lighten up, honey", words often used by mm to help themselves feel better about their role in the op- presson of women. Burnside finds it "sad" that women, don't enjoy it when his editor leers at them in print.

Ulterior motives Editor: Re: cutbacks on the CBC. Let me quote from a new book on the market .Parcel of Rogues by Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians. "The privatization of public enterprise in Canada is the central goal of the free-trade agreement; in order for a smooth transfer of our economy to that of the United States, strict limitations must be put on the ability of the Canadian Government to exercise its economic power in the interest of the country. "For the new system to work it is essential to reduce the public role in the running of our country. The Tory ideology is simple. If it makes a profit, sell it. If it doesn't make a profit starve it. If it talks back, cut it." L.A.

How sad that Sherman should be writing about -violence against women and not understand this concept. Perhaps he wasn't listening. Women and men seeking freedom from patriarchal stereo types are already moving ahead together with their eyes on the prize. If the Sherman and Burnside duo are going to bill themselves as feminist allies, they need to learn to respect women's anger as valid and genuine. This may mean actually raising those rusty anchors in order to sail upstream with the rest of us in 1991. Carol Hodgson hmv ..More letters *��* tun Page 23 <mw,n .. .

"We're not saying no or -anything like that," Chairman John McNevin told Marcorp Development Corporation Vice- President David Longpre last Tuesday. "There are some things we would like to look into. We do have to make sure we are going the same direction as tha'SCRD." While the Town wants to take a sharper look at the water, sewer and fire services required, Longpre and associate Marylynn Nikodemus stressed the company's main concern was having their boundary application forwarded to the province's Ministry of Municipal Affairs. "In fairness to us it could take a little longer than a week," Nikodemus pointed out, stressing delays at the municipal level through the Christmas season may backlog Mareorp's proposed February/March 1991 groundbreaking. - "1 suppose in hindsight we should have been here four months ago," Longpre said. Though the Town could caned the application even after it 1ms passed the provincial level, Mayor Eric Small said "Withdrawing the application somewhere along the line doesn't really appeal to us." "We worked with the SCKD and Dayton and McKnight (utility consulting firm)", Nikodemus told the Committee, "We tried to get it to work but the bottom line is the SCRD doesn't have a sewer." Though Nikodemus and said Dayton and Knight report<td Gibsons' sewer facilities could accommodate the centre's needs, McNevin said he interpreted the report differently and, though he appreciates the time frame the developers have targeted, "you spent a lot of time with the SCRD in planning and we want the same. We have enough difficulty right now that we don't want to get in over our heads." Both Marcorp representatives pointed out that monies to be set aside for water tanks in the SCRD planning stages could be used to upgrade services from the town to the mall. Marcorp would bear the cost of installing pumps on School and North Roads. "If the mall is on Town water, then 'tank money' could go elsewhere," Longpre said. Town Planner Rob Buchan said his major concern with the mall design is with traffic flow. Till the new Gibsons Bypass is complete "there would have to be an upgrading of Payne Road in the interim," he said. Nikodemus pointed out there is an access onto Highway 101 other than the Payne Road and Pratt Road accesses. But Buchan was firm, saying "dther Highways would have to build the Bypass first or you would have to upgrade Payne Road." Longpre said his firm has a consultant looking into the traffic situation but the report wasn't ready yet. The 85,000 square foot mall would employ approximately 200 local people in its construction and holds out a tax base to the Town which Councilor Margaret Morrison says "is dear to my heart." But in a Committee which Councilor Ed Steeves calls "cost conscious," the Plaza's service requirements and the costs incurred by both developer and the Town will be determined by how much agreement exists in discussions held with the SCRD. Mayor Small expressed the concern that by incorporating the mall into the Town boundary, this would mean surrounding regional businesses which may not wish to be drawn inside the municipality's sphere.

The first order of business was to give consideration to the problem of overcrowding in the schools. Members of the Parents Advisory Council of Roberts Creek Elementary School discussed the options available. Funding of $1 million available now would provide for five additional classrooms, but nothing for much needed other facilities, and the chance that by the time the addition was complete, the school would again be short of space. A second option would be to apply for funding of $2 million and build an addition that would be adequate for the next decade. A decision was made that a delegation of parents, teachers and trustees would meet with the Minister of Education, the Honourable Tony Brummet, to request the additional funding. "The bottom line is that $1 million is not enough," said parent spokesperson Ruth Emerson, "but we cannot give it up without some kind of guarantee for more funding���and soon. Roberts Creek School has four and a half portables and finding any extra space is impossible. We are bursting at the seams and the school is no longer able to function as an efficient working unit as it has become too crowded and spread out."

We'd say fantastic if the word had not been over-used by a provincial politician; outstanding will have to do. The unique Britten carols proved the choir's capability to petrform demanding music and words. Carols that so stirringly gave the Christmas message as in "Today Christ is born, Today the angels sing glory to God..." Here the harp was indeed an effective counterbalance to the choir. The combining of orchestra, men's chorus, and Lyn Vernon's commanding voice in the Brahm's Rhapsody treated us to a glorious blending of sound. With the Merry Widow excerpts the choir and orchestra and soloists provided a light- hearted and blithe contrast���the secular to the sacred. Stage business was given particular attention, costuming was most suitable, and of course singers and orchestra produced a vivacious rendering of all those familiar melodies. Karen Boothroyd who created the choreography for the Can-Can number is to be congratulated for the sprightly routines and her own solo part. The light lovdy tenor of David Dykstra did not, unfor- tunately, always carry above the orchestra. Arline Collins, always attractive, combined her sparkling voice and good stage presence to give an outstanding performance. The program notes acknowledged the support of a number of local businesses, individuals, and public bodies, particularly in the acquiring of the plastic shell that improves the acoustics of school gymnasiums somewhat. TEACHER REMEMBERED Iris Smith, who taught for over 20 years here in our schools on the Sunshine Coast was buried at a graveside service at Seaview Cemetery, Friday, Descembw 7, with the Reverend Esther North officiating. Born Iris Ada Caroline Diamond in Dauphin, Manitoba in 1905, she taught school in that province before coming to BC in 1949. Iris first taught in Pender Harbour Superior School, then in 1950 transferred to Roberts Creek, and in the year following to Sechelt Elementary where she remained until 1955. From 1955 to 1970 she was a staff member of Elphinstone Secondary in the home economics department as well as teaching junior math and some classes in social studies. Iris, predeceased by her husband in 1984, head done some post graduate work at UBC to add to Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Manitoba. Hampered by failing eyesight after her retirement in 1970 and legally blind within a few years after that, Iris was happy to find that following an operation this past spring she could, in the special large print editions, enjoy reading again. After a fall earlier this year in which she suffered a broken hip she entered intermediate care in CoquiUam, and was a resident there until the time of her passing. Bea Rankin, a former colleague of Iris' recalls that Iris was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star who always baked bread for the bake sales until her sight began to fail. Iris is remembered by many former fellow teachers.

CONCERT DATES The rehearsal for the Halfmoon Bay Elementary School's Christmas Concert wil take place at I pm on Wednesday, December 19 at the school.

During a break in the action, I took the opportunity to ask him why he chose to play in Egmont. He explained that he was just happy to play music, whether it was in a small town hall or for a large crowd, but lately it's the small town halls that he prefers. It is in these small communities, such as Egmont, that he finds a unique Canadian spirit that inspires him to continue doing what he wants to do. Judging by the crowd on the dance floor, he found plenty of that Canadian spirit here. Thstnks to all the people responsible for a stomping good time on an otherwise quiet Sunday night. The Egmont Community Cub Christmas Party will be held on Friday, December 21 at 6:30 pm. There will be a pot luck dinner and lots of festivities.

The tickets are available at Bathgate's Store and the post office so keep an eye out for them in Pender Harbour. If there is anyone interested in quilting, beginning some time in January there will be a group of people getting together to make a community quilt which will be raffled off in the summer. Experience is not necessary and it is hoped that arrangements can be made for child minding, so keep that in mind as we enter the New Year. Over the holidays, some of the local businesses will experience minor adjustments to their opening and closing hours. Bathgaies Store will close at 1 pm on December 24 and will open again on December 27 from 11 to 5:30, on December 28, 29 and 30 they will be open from 9 to 5:30.

But for the Sunshine Coast grave doubts have arisen and few an smiling now. ��� Fran Bumsldt photo Continaed from page 1 In an interview with the Coast Ncwi the following morning, Town Planner Rob Sabine noted sympathetically that "It's not the District's fault that Mr. Weholm doesn't avail himself of the various services available to him as a taxpaya. He's up here infrequently." At the committee meeting, it was suggested that someone���possibly Mayor MacLarty ���might engage in a "one on one" discussion of Mr. Weholm's problem with a representative of the Setchelt Indian Band. The problem with this approach of course, is that the District has no jurisdiction whatsoever in this instance. While an emissary to the Band might well plead Weholm's case dispassionately, if not convincingly, Weholm's only recourse is to the Band directly. And, says Tom Paul, there's really nothing to discuss. "We felt that Mr. Weholm should be paying some compensation once we found out he was up there using the road���and Mr. Ayres wits paying for the upkeep, (As for the permit fee), nothing could be done now. We already set a precedent with Mr. Ayres' permit fee." Erling Weholm does have some options. He could, if he so chose, refrain from using the access road entirely, transporting himself .and his supplies to and from his house by boat. He could simply pay the permit fee to the Sechelt Indian Band, remembmng that they don'l have to grant access to begin with. Or he could sell out. "He's hopeful of having Sechelt break open a road down Ripple Way to bypass SIB land", not.es Rob Sabine with a soft smile. Then he takes out his electronic calculator and is silent for a moment. "To bring it to a municipal gravel standard would be about $300 pet metre. And we're talking about���roughly���on the order of SOO metres. In other words..." Upwards of $100,000, and probably closer to $130,000. And what are the chances of Seechelt building the road? "We never intend to do that", said Sabine. "We can't make it meet the gradient standards." Sabine stopped just short of an outright chuckle. "Mr. Weholm is free to build it at his own expense. After all, it is a public right-of-way." Just what Mr. Erling Weholm decid<es to do about his predicament must remain a mystery until such time as he becomes available for comment. At last week's committee meeting, Mayor MacLarty twice noted for the record that "Mr. Weholm should have had a title search." Francis and Allan Ayres were reluctant to comment in any detail on their neighbour's "troubles". They did want it known that they had built the access road; across Band land all those many; years ago, they had kept it up,' and Mr. Weholm had been us ing it gratis off and on for the past 22 years. And ii was the Ayres who ultimately brought the deteriorating situation involving the question of Mr. Weholm's free ride to the attention of the S<echelt Indian Band.

The time factor for preparation prior to the BC Utilities Commission hearing in January leaves the town little time to look at any other alternative but the Powell River agreement and, from a distribution point of view, McNevin said "It looks to me like it's 'Let's look after the pulp mill and the bigger cities and to hell with all the rest.'" The committee will send a representative to the hearing, but Town Administrator Lorraine Goddard said any agreement negotiated by the town would have to go through both public referendum and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs for approval. In the interim, VIGAS wants to impose the AVIM agreement. Mayor Small likens the whole situation to "blackmail". Planner Rob Buchan pointed out that natural gas lines between Gibsons and Seechelt will not go ahead and two depots (one in Port Mellon and one in Sechelt) is more likely in the works. He added that some devel- opws in the town have built their housing projects with gas lines in anticipation of natural gas "which could produce some interesting legal positions" on how distribution line installation is put into effect. The idea of distribution, according to Goddard, is VIGAS's plans to replace propane with natural gas in the "big service sectors". Then houses which want it could pay for it. Line installation to individual blocks would be determined by how many houses on the block apply. On a closing note, Small said "I guess we shouldn't panic at this point in time...but I'm not comfortable with the gas situation." Member of ALLIED..

Coast News, December 17,1990 Environmentalists not Impressed by Green Plan by Stuart Burnside The Western Regional Director for Greenpeace, Catherine Stewart, is not impressed with the Canadian government's new Green Plan. Nor were my of the other environmental groups contacted by the Coast News, groups ranging from the Society Promoting Environmental Conservation (SPEC), to the West Coast Environmental Law Association (WCELA). The Green Plan, in Brief, is a "fully funded" 5 year, 3 billion dollar environmental action plan designed to address a myriad of Canadian and global environmental concerns. The plan's contents .are neatly packaged into eight sections for general reference (sm box), complete with appropriated monies for each section. While the scope of the plan is broad, the feeling .among environmental groups is that it tries to encompass too many grand, far ranging concerns without actually focusing on the details needed to resolve the issues. Catherine Stewart says the plan is "Incredibly vague...It promises no new regulations or firm commitments...It's pretty disappointing." She expounds by saying that it is "Definitely not a plan," but rather, "A collection of proposed studies, research, and discussion," without much in the way of concrete action. Bill Andrews, with the WCELA (a group providing legal service and advice to groups and individuals with environmental concerns), says he sees both pros and cons in the Green Plan. "On the whole I'm disap- pointed about it (the Green Plan)," says Andrews, "they spent a lot of time working on it and, for the most part it's a combination of existing programs and promises for the future." Some of the plan's drawbacks, as identified by Andrews, are that "With pulp mills...they don't announce The Green Plan In brief Is a five year, three MUon dote ecnvlronmetntal action plan: ��� M50 milttoo to dean air, water and land proposals and ��� $350 million to sustaining of i ��� $175 million to protection of had and species habitat throughout Canada. ��� $100 million to enhance the prodtKtivity and biodiversity of the Arctic. ��� $575 million to attempt stabilization of greenhouse gases by the year 2000. ��� $500 million to strengthen environmental partnerships in Canada. ��� $275 milBon to ensure action on the plan by various governments. ��� $175 million for quick response to natural and manmade etmergenedets. anything new in the way of regulations; with global warming, the measures they set out are quite inadequate and they (the government), amazingly enough, even state in the report that the measures will not be adequate." Andrews also points out that much of the money allocate for the plan is "notional", it hasn't actually been approved by the Treasury Board. On the upside of the plan, Andrews cites a proposal that 12 p<er cent of all Canada's land be set aside as "protected space," as well as the addition of five new national parks to be established by 1996. Andrews points out, however, that no mention was made of which 12 per cent of the land would be so designated, "It's no good if the 12 per cent comes solely from somewhere in the far north; there are many ecosystems in Canada that need protecting." Also seen as a positive aspect of the report, according to Andrews, is the reiteration of the government's promise to focus on "setting up a task force mechanism to improve conditions in the Fraser River Basin." It was also mentioned, though, that while $850 million has been allocated for clean up of the air, land and water throughout the entire country, a report issued by the Greater Vancouver Regional District two years ago put the price tag for satisfactory improvements to the Fraser River Basin at approximately $1.3 billion. ".So three billion," stated Andrews, "Although it sounds like a lot of money, really is not much compared to the needs out there." The Manager of Urban Programs and Technical Services for the federal government, Fred Claggett, commented on the problem in the Fraser River Basin when contacted by the Coast News. "The details are still bang worked (on the Green Plan's financing), but the federal policy has not been to provide funding for municipal infrastructure (ie., the secondary sewage treatment in the Fraser River Basin), and I wouldn't expect that to change." Claggett went on to say that the money in the Green Plan would be used for scientific study and research and he surmized that eventually, as a result of study and research, the f -vernment might be able to provide suggestions for improvements to sewage problems in the Fraser River Basin. Another aspect of the Green Plan that environmental groups take unanimous exception to is the cost of the plan itself; the cost of compiling research and information, as well as the promoting and advertising of the finished product. They would have preferred to see that money go toward saving the environment. Merry m Christmas! ?**- from ,**B^' 'The BIG J KAHUNA' One More Week!

The Sunshine 68 years behind the lens Second Section Spilsbury evokes nostalgia for vanished life by Row Nlchotwn SPILSBURY'S ALBUM Photos and Reminiscences of the BC Coast, by Jim Spilsbury, Harbour Publishing. Coastal BC once spawned a way of life unlike anything else anywhere in the world. Tucked away in every bay and cove from Vancouver to the Alaska border were tiny clusters of houses perched on massive log floats, and on the shore nearby, a few hardy men, using a steam donkey and an A frame, gil- christ jacks and peavees, wrestled massive logs to the water. Floating fish camps bought the plentiful -ocean harvest from thousands of small fish boats whose owners did not guess then that some day the plenty would peter out and complex electronic devices would be the only way to find Fish. "When we were there in the late 60's, the carved posts of the long house were still standing." Jim Spilsbury was part of this era. His two earlier books, Spibbury's Coast and The Ac- ditentbd Airline chronicled this story, and of the newest, Spibbury's Album, he says, "peeople got as big a kick out of the photographs that went along with the stories (in the Tint two books) as they did from the stories themselves... and it wasn't long before 1 found myself talking to my publisher about a third book... theft would give the photograph collection the kind of prominence it seemed to crave." A talented amateur photographer, Spilsbury started taking pictures in 1922 when he went to work at a shingle bolt camp in Hofray Channel, using his father's old Brownie camera. In the years since then he kept a photographic record of his own varied activities. "The great discovery of my later years has been that so many things which caught my eye along the long and meandering path which hits been my life also strike a spark of interest in others." Spilsbury's 'meandering path' sampled, and in many cases, created the Coast lifestyle. As a logger, he started as a 'knotter' and 'swamper' for 25 cents an hour and worked his way up to being a 'donkey puncher' at seven dollars a day for a nine hour day. Introduced to radio by the radio operator when he worked on the steamship Robert Dollar in 1919, Spilsbury returned home to Savary Island and built one of the first crystal radio sets. His passion for radio grew, and over the years he developed the familiar radio equipment that every fisherman and tugboat operator now takes for granted. He saw radio as a solution to the isolation of the gyppo logging camps of the Coast. To better reach his customers in the camps, he moved his wife and young family aboard his first boat, the Five B R and travelled Jane Seyd of Hirbour Publishing and Jim Spilsbury discuss Spilsbury's latest book which Is now on sale at all local book stores. ��� Row Nkhoiwn photo into all the bays and inlets, selling and servicing the radios and other electronic equipment produced by Spilsbury and Hepburn (later Siplsbury and Tin- dall), his Vancouver company. During the war, gas rationing prompted him to buy a plane. "I could go much farther on a gallon of gas with a plane than \ could with the boat," he said. The number of planes grew, and ultimately became Queen Charlotte Airlines, one of the first commercial airlines in BC. Spilsbury was in Sechelt bookstores last week to autograph his books. As old acquaintances came by to reminisce, almost forgotten stories came to light. Airline pilot Ken Sorko was one of the first, followed by Muriel Daly, nieece of Tom Fenner, the original owner of Spilsbury's boat Blithe Spirit, and then Reve Farish, fellow ham radio operator, and many others who had known Spilsbury, or the events he writes about. Later, in an exclusive interview with the CMM News, this reporter, Howard White of Harbour Publishing, and Spilsbury continued to reminisce about the Coast of the 40's and SOY "Did you know Terry O'Connor?"...Ah yes, he married Bess Miller, and they lived in Port NeviUe."..."We spent a winter logging with their son Ken on Nigei Island in the early 50V... "The old Indian village at Blunden Harbour has almost disappeared."..."When we were there in the late 60's, the carved posts of the long house were still standing." "Do you remember the Lansdownes and the Hallidays in Kingcome Inlet?"... And so on. Stories were swapped of remittance men, scions of England's finest families; the backbreaking toil of hopeful immigrants who tried (and often failed) to carve farms from BC's unforgiving wilderness; the ubiquitous loggers and their families who endured and thrived in appalling isolation; fishermen who harvested from open boats the still plentiful salmon, but received a few cents each for their catch. Spilsbury's books evoke nostalgia for a unique chapter of BC history. Fortunately, he was there with his camera to record it, and his memory is sharp and clear. For those of us who were a part of that era, the memories evoked by Spilsbury's books ve bittersweet. For those who know nothing of that time, there is the prospect of tin intriguing glimpse into a lifestyle that has all but disappeared.

The trail starts out easily enough���a series of planks covered with chicken wire facilitate walking. About halfway up however, the boardwalk runs out and the way grows steeper. Cautionary signs warn that this is an undeveloped area. We puff on and finally reach the top. The view is well worth the effort. To the east sprawls the green carpet of Tow Hill Fog, an ecological reserve. West, a point of land just out into the heaving waters of Dixon Entrance with open Pacific beyond. To the north, Prince William Island in Alaska can be dimly glimpsed. It is a stirring panorama. Halfway back down the hill, we follow a branch trail to the beach, hoping to glimpse a phenomenon called the Blowhole. It proves to be the most mesmerizing sight of the day. Like Tow Hill, its face in- timidatingly steep from this vantage point, the beach is composed of ancient basalt rock, chewed and sculpted into grotesque shapes by the endless assault of the sea. Great waves are thundering in from the open ocean, retiring up and crashing down on the eroded stone; spurting skyward through the Blowhole, a tunnel in the rocks, like a salt-water Old Faithful, lt is wildly spectacular���an inexorable process of nature that has been going on for aeons, long before men came to these Islands or walked the Earth at all. On the long drive home we spot at least 17 deer grazing like dusky ghosts along the road. They pay us no mind whatsoever. Much of our stay on the Charlottes is marred by spates of heavy rain, making outside projects impractical. On one such sodden day, we check out the highly touted Skidegate Museum. The museum with its attendant gift shop, is a cooperat *e project between Haidas and Whites. A roomy attractive building constructed from cedar timbers, it stands on a rocky headland, blending harmoniously with its surroundings. The high-ceiling<ed interior is bright and roomy, fitted with artifacts both Native and White. Historic totem poles, traditional paintings and argylite carvings counterpoint antique catalogues, early telephones and weighty two- man power saws. The curator, a friendly lady named Lea Olsen, who has lived on the Islands for 17 years, answers our questions know- ledgeably. She tells us how the southern and northern Haidas, once competitive clans, have become united in the common cause of Nationhood. We pay a visit to the Haida Band Office in Skidegate, a very modern and attractive facility, located in a traditional longhouse. After some minor negotiating, we are permitted to photograph the Haida flag, representing the two clans. The lady in charge explains that they like to make sure such pictures are not used for postcards or other commercial purposes. Later, at the National Parks Board office, we meet with Steve Suddies, in charge of Visitor Services for South Moresby. A personable guy in his 30's, he fills us in on some of the problems involved in ad- i ministrating the new Preserve. \ Chief among these is the \ reluctance of the Haidas to sign B permanent agreement, leaving (he actual status of the Park a bit up in the air. At present, the Haidas are conducting their own tours under the auspices of Ihe Haida Owaai Watchmen, a groop traditionally dedicated to protecting the abandoned villages and ancestral sites. The Parks Board hope in time to work out a co- management policy with them. The South Moresby Project is still very much in a formative stage. There are only limited .and primitive facilities at the most heavily-used sites. But, Suddies, a staunch booster of the Haida cause, is optimistic that all the kinks wiU eventually be ironed out. to bet Channel Eleven Tuesday, December M \ 6:45 PM CmXfjt Comwctktiu The broadcasting students at Elphinstone bring you this wwelt's netws). 7:00 PM Parliamentary Tilkback Harold Fletcher is the host of this month's show that brings your parliamentary representatives to the community channel. 8:00 PM Sea Shantys With Al Cox 8:30 PM Coast Profiles Stan Dixon talks with Stewart Dickson, former airforce pilot and author of Broken Wing. 9:00 PM West Side Profile Jennifer Copping Rogers Cable Kitsilano office provides us with this program centering on local actress, singer and dancer, Jennifer Copping. 9:30 PM Cable Connection* As above Thursday, December 20 7:00 PM Hves Club Telethon Highlights This year the Elves Club Telethon on Cable 11 brought in close to $13,000.

Stewart Dickson has a new book out, Broken Wing, published by Summer Wild and produced by Talking Stick Productions, of Gibsons. It's a novel and so it must be. Its story, so fu as I know, was never actually experienced, but certainly its possibility must have flitted into the mind of many a pilot flying over that country. The pilot gets caught in a down draught in a cleft in the mountains, whirled about, and crashed into a realty desolate place. He is a goner except that some Dogrib trappers were just in earshot. They go well out of their way to rescue him, but what with one thing and another he is there in their trapping camp for the whole of a winter. A really quite realistic scenario. Almost anything might happen in this situaiton. Numbers, not only of the Dogrib, have truly had it with the white mean and unhappily with every kind of reason. Stewart Dickson's Dogribs are aU clearly individual people, and the trapping camp, and the daily winter's round are detailed as I don't think I've ever read them before. The pilot has a badly broken leg, and is in shock, then treated by a Dogrib won.an with the old forest remedies, secrets often jealously guarded but well described in Broken Wing. It is a first novel. There are, for example, stretches of domestic bliss difficult to maintain in a novelistic way, perhaps under any circumstances, but no matter. The tale that needed to be told is well told here, and Broken Wing is a welcome addition to the literature through which some of us hope to get closer to the country's native people.

We decided to treat him (and ourselves) to a dining experience at the Wharf Restaurant, aesthetically located across from the beach in Davis Bay. Reservations had been made, and when we arrived the dreary weather was shut out behind us and replaced with the warm and intimate atmosphere inside. Having three children under seven years of age was no problem to them, for they had high chairs and booster seats quickly available. Our guest, who was in a wheelchair, found unrestricted access to everything as well. After gazing at the wide selection of tempting dishes on the menu, our guest decided on Oysters Rockerfella followed by a main dish of lamb chops, accompanied by a mix of long grain and wild rice, carrots and a decoration of assorted fresh and prepared fruits. For the children to share, we ordered the Cordon Bleu, a tender chicken breast wrapped around melted cheese and ham Filling. My wife and I shared an appetizer of Calamari Frita, and she followed with the rack of ribs and a salad, while I could not resist the filet mignon, which was done impeccably to my specifications. To go with the meal, Shirley Temples were ordered for the children, while we shared a very good red wine chosen by our guest. While our main dishes were being prepared, fresh baked mini loaves of bread were brought to the table, with butter and cottage cheese on the side, and all this for under $83 (not including drinks). Everyone was absolutely delighted with the exquisite tastes and beautiful presentations of their selections, as well as the friendly and efficient service.

Tom Poulton(3) with the hat trick, Mike Yarrow with a pair, and Rory Walker replied for Wakefield. The Hawks, in a hunt for the fourth and final play-off berth, knocked over third place Gilligans 8-3. Darren Dixon(3), Kevin August(2), Adrian Dixon(2), and Keith Julius scored for the Hawks.

On the Rocks by Hairy Turner ' Continuing on with our articles about the delivery, this ��� week I would like to talk about the positioning of the throwing ' arm and the sliding foot. The correct positioning of the throwing arm is crucial for an accurate delivery of the stone. -The throwing arm must be expended to its full length at all | times without rigidity or ten- I sion. The stone is placed just far enough forward to cause full ex- , tension of the arm. The throwing arm must be kept straight < during the entire backswing yet 'without any muscle tension. " Bending the elbow might cause the rock to swing off line, thus . forcing the stone to reach the ice - late during the forward motion creating a balance and timing .problean. Conversely, over reaching 'with the arm will pull the shoulder forward, forcing the opposite shoulder back so the hips and trunk may be forced off line. During the forward motion, the throwing arm must be extended in a comfortable, easy reach. Failure to keep the arm straight during the delivery can be summed up in one word���disaster. The sliding leg and foot are also crucial to the correct delivery of a stone. As you start your backswing, move your sliding leg back behind the hack to a comfortable position behind you. At this time your weight is supported by your right leg. As you start the downswing, there comes a point at which the weight is transferred to the left leg, which for right-handed curlers is the sliding leg. This transfer point is crucial to an accurately thrown stone. Many curlers lose their balance during this transfer period. As your right knee .begins to bend, your left leg should begin to take up the weight. The right arm and left foot should move forward at almost the same speed, This balanced combination of right arm and left foot will ensure that your hips, shoulders and head remain squared with the target. It is essential to maintain balance throughout the slide. A flat footed slide is recommended by Curl Canada since this slide puts the least pressure on the knees. Next week���the broom arm. We am still use a few new curlers for the evening leagues. If you are interested come up to the club on the evening of your choice and we will try to make a match���a team���with your skills. Friday evening is a good time if you tire a beginner.

District Planning meeting. David White of Ocean Dynamics Ltd., speaking on behalf of his client, R. Sullivan, owner of Shilcombe Lookout Marina, asked directors to consider an extension of Sullivan's foreshore lease to accommodate expansion plans. White told directors that an earlier request had been turned down by the district because of possible objections from neighbours. "In light of that, I went round and canvassed all the r��idents," said White, with the exception of two people who were away at the time and not contacted, "none of the residents had any problems with Sullivan's proposal. "One of the reasons that expansion is necessary in Pender Harbour," continued White, "is that in the last year we have lost 70-odd berths due to the Vancouver Yacht Club taking over a marina. "We have to have something, or the Harbour can't develop its a destination area for sail and power boats." Area A Director Gordon Wilson said that the matter had been discussed by the Area A APC and "it was hoped that the matter could be discussed with the Ministry of Crown Lands in meetings that had been twice cancelled because of Crown Lands' inability to be here. "I've been down there and done a site inspection. The APC would like Crown Lands to do a site inspection of four sites in the Harbour in order for us to reconcile what seems to be a 'potential' conflict, because it is hard to tell on paper where the lines are. "Hopefully we can reconcile some of the issues that are outstanding between the crown and the district." It was agreed that a" im- mediate meeting be held with regional district planners and represenstatives from Crown Lands and Shilcombe Lookout Marina. "We've been awfully .passive about this," commented Wilson. "In the meantime developments are going ahead that cause major problems in the Pender Harbour area. "We have to get lands to face up to the fact that there has been a certain amount of negligence." Sale of light poles "Most of the equipment was garbage, we'd pay more to have it towed away," said Public Works Superintendent Doug Fraser at Wednesday's Setchelt Council nweting. He was referring to equipment owned by the District of Setchelt that was recently sold by sealed bid auction, equipment such as a 1975 Ford pickup (rusted out and not running), power lawn mowers, a gas weedeater, etc. It was not deemed relevant that three of the five winning bidders were District of Sechelt employees. "Local advertizing was done and all the requirements were met," said Alderman Bob Wilson. Three weeks ago the Coait News reported briefly on 22 light poles that Sechelt bought in '987 for $25 each, five of which Itad just been sold at that time to .another municipality for $1000, a profit of $450. The remaining 17 'hot items' were sold in the most recent bidding for an additional $250, bringing the net profit to $700.

Reid flays Wilson Editor: ^^^^^^^ During the recent regional election campaign I published a letter listing several reasons why I couldn't support Gordon Wilson in Area A. I mentioned that the Regional District, acting on a motion seconded by Wilson, had trwd to collect its share of letgal costs in the Farrington Cove case by placing a lien on my property, without having ever notified me of the charge. It has just been brought to my attention that Wilson made public statements on the eve of the election that the district had indeed sent me an invoice and had proceeded with the lien only after I put off paying the debt for many months. This is simply false. I repeat, I had absolutely no knowledge of the district's S1.2S6.I0 claim against me before I discovered the lien on my Garden Bay home on September 11, 1990, and 1 am prepared to swear an affidavit to this effect. Their lawyer did apparently notify our lawyer but he in formed them I was seriously ill and recommended the claim be waived. Because this was a community action and because the petition had to be signed before it could be considered by the court, I lent my name in the interests of justice. Due to the nature of my illness, it was most imperative that 1 not be subjected to stress; 1 presume it was for this reason our lawyer suggested that the costs be dropped. The question I pose is how many of these actions have been collected in the past by the district? The district's lawyer agreed to take this suggestion back to the regional board, but Wilson among others rejected it. In the meantime our lawyer booked off the Cease and informed the district they should contact me personally if they decided to pursue the claim. For whatever reason, they ignored his advice and resorted directly to legal action. This indignity was completely uncalled for, as 1 have never in my life avoided paying a debt of any kind and would have responded immediately had I only been nude aware of their decision to press the claim. Their behaviour amounted to an ambush. Another offence I have suffered at Wilson's hands is his charge that this court action was taken for political purposes. 1 repeat that this is a blatant lie. 1 am provincially a member of the Social Credit Party and have been for 20 years. Federally, 1 tun a member of the Liberal Party. As leader of the provincial Liberal Party, Mr. Wilson should check his own records. And, by the by, is it an offence by Wilsons's standards -according to his written release -that 1 own property in West Vancouver along with my planned retirement home in Garden Bay? It seems I may now add being called a liar and a welsh without a shred of justification. He well knew the election would be over before I would have a chance to reply, but 1 am content to have the truth catch up with Wilson in its own good time. As Abraham Lincoln said, you can't fool till of the people all of the time. Tom Reid. Sunshine Coast .

Supplies the growing people^ Reader differs with court's reply Editor: It appears that the Court of Revision has now decided to extend its deliberations���and its improprieties���Io your paper. The court panelists ought to have heard my case before making any pronouncements either in the court or to this newspaper. I mentioned nothing about the GST, the ferries, or the propriety or otherwise of taxing leased land. My "prepared statement", as referred to by your reporter, was two pages, not eighteen. It would have taken four minutes of the court's time to hear my arguments, which were brief and to the point.

VON 1V0 I was repeatedly and unnecessarily interrupted by three excited judges whose confusion has obviously not subsided. According to D'Arcy Burke, as quoted in your last issue, "We allowed him a 25 per cent reduction on the value of the land..." Maybe they did, but I was not informed, so it must have been either before or after I left. What sort of court can make that kind of decision without hearing any of my arguments? And what sort of court decides assessment appeals by imaginary precedents? There is nothing in D'Arcy Burke's statement of Drcember 4 that refutes any of my criticism of the Court of Revision. His rebuttal of what he thought my charge was has hardly anything to do with anything I have said. I have not complained about the court being unfair. Any judgement in my case is irrelevant, since the court would not grant me a hearing. Besides that, the complaint which I aited in your paper was about the manner in which the Court of Revision "carried on"���and not only in my case. It isn't too much to expect civility and rationality to preside in any public court. Steve Skimmeland Thanks from Gibsons' Mayor Editor's Note: A copy of the following wis recelvetd for publication. I want to publicly thank the Chamber of Commerce for supplying the new replacement bulbs that now light up the strerts of Gibsons during this holiday season. At the same time, let's applaud Coast Cable Vision who supplied the equipment and manpower to install the lights. t also want to recognize the Cedar's Neighbourhood Pub for its colourful display of lights above its establishment that add to our visual enjoyment at Christmas. I understand that the pub has resold the individual bulbs to its patrons with proceeds going to the BC Mental Health Association. These are but a few examples of the care and generosity evident in our community that make it such a great place to live. May I, on behalf of all of us at the town hall, wish you the best for the Christmas Season, and health and happiness in 1991. T. Eric Small, Mayor Gibsons Municipal Council Deck their halls.

Under the threat that the Greater Vancouver Regional District plans to expand its horizons north to the Sunshine Coast, as outlined in a Lower Mainland newspaper last week, Planning Committee Chairman John McNevin says "It's our feeling that we would rather plan our own community and be able to teU the GVRD 'Thank you very much, but we will do our own planning.' " A motion to review the OCP was passed November 6, by the previous round, and McNevin hopes the process will alleviate the expansion threat. Town Planner Rob Bucl.an says the time is ripe. "When we do a review we will get a lot of input and have citizens draft a plan for council as was done before." Appointments to the citizen committee would be made by Mayor Eric Small, who has proposed that the guidelines and parameters of getting the review underway be done in-camera. The Planning Committee's concerns involved how long and at what cost the review process The faculty, staff and students at the Sechelt Campus extend season's greetings to everyone in the community.
