As part of a province-wide campaign to sway BC voters, Joe Clark, federal minister of constitutional affairs, made a brief foray into territory of No spokesman Gordon Wilson Thursday, as he addressed a hastily called forum of aboul 125 people al the Sechelt legion. For those hoping for a scandal, the darkly rumoured "busloads" of Yes supporters from Vancouver failed to materialize. And among local residents attending Clark's speech, opinion was split on the Many locals still undecided about constitution vote referendum, with many people still undecided about how they will vote. F.ven among those who said they would probably vote No, several audience members said they were hoping to be convinced to vote Yes by Clark's presentation. But whether that was accomplished was uncertain. During the speech, Clark stressed the value of a Native inherent right to self- government and emphasized the deal as a compromise arrangement. "It's not an agreement anyone came to with arms twisted," he said. He also downplayed what many locals saw as special privileges granted to Quebec in the accord. "It's not a French plot," he told the audience at one point. While the issue of Quebec's guarantee of seats in the House of Commons was not addressed at the forum, Clark said the term "distinct society" didn't grant that province any special status. "There's no question of Quebec as a distinct society," he said. "The question is whether il will be a distinct society inside of Canada or outside of Canada." After the speech, Clark fielded questions from the audience on issues ranging from inter-provincial trade barriers to national programs like Medicare and environmental protection. He also disagreed with those, such as Murray Cantelon, who said the government should be concentrating on the economy rather than discussing the constitution. "We have constitutional problems here," Clark said. "They're real. They're persistent...If there are problems we can resolve, we should resolve them." Several people also questioned Clark on how much the conslilulion.il talks and referendum campaigns are costing. "I hope and pray to God when this is done you'll put thai kind of money into the national debt." said Vel Anderson. But generally Clark stuck to his emphasis of the deal as an accord that could hold the country together, bringing up images which ranged from those of a historical John A. MacDonald to the present-day Inuit nation. turn to page 2 Students find accord wanting SCRD chairwoman Peggy Connor contemplates as federal minister of constitutional effairs Joe Clark urges a capacity crowd in the Sechelt Legion to consider the consequences of the Oct. 26 referendum. Joel Johnstone photo by Darah Hansen There is a class of Canadian citizens whose individual votes will not be counted in the October 26 national referendum but who have read through the accord, discussed it and have formed an opinion regardless. Overwhelmingly, the grade 10 students in Bill Rayment's social studies class are voting No. The unofficial vote was taken after approximately 90 Elphinstone Secondary students studied the agreement in their respective social studies classrooms and were asked to write an essay defence of their positions. Of the 30 students in Rayment's classroom, only three supported the agreement. That Yes faction only tripled when votes cast by other classes were taken into account. "Special" treatment given Quebec was the foremost issue for the No-side. "We hate Quebecers," said student Jonathan Robson in a classroom discussion of the accord. His opinion was fueled by feelings of democratic injustice. "They always get every- Improved conventional service preferred to fast ferry by Charles Hart As far as most locals were concerned, BC Ferries' personnel missed the boat when Ihey presented recent research in Gibsons Wednesday tilting toward introducing a fast-ferry, passenger-only service lo Ihe Sunshine Coast. "I don't agree wilh all those stud- ies," said Slan Dixon, one of Ihe first to take Ihe floor after the feasibility of a catamaran passenger ferry had been detailed. "We don'l need large fer- ������������ ries but we do need two ferries," he added lo applause. "If Ihe governmenl only used logic and jusl added another ferry we'd be happier than pigs in shit here," Dixon said. 'Your input is good and it's timely' ���Rod Morrison Inside cable 11 peee IB eememeltf peee 7 HWBnW r**w* m mere peee 12 mem peee ff mtrwftM peee ff epeeeem peee 1$ The desire for an additional ferry on the Langdale to Horseshoe Bay run echoed throughout the two-hour meeiing, which drew more than 100 residents to a convention room at Ihe Cedars Inn for a discussion of Coasl ferry service. "I don't agree lhal we need a passenger service," added another resident who took the microphone. "I've been here 22 years and we had Iwo ferries Ihen. If BC Ferries can'l handle il, maybe we should ��������� give it lo Highways." Yel another resident urged Ihe ferry corporation "lo improve the service we now have. Forget aboul fasl ferries for now unlil we've gol enough peopie lo use it." But not everyone was opposed to the idea, particularly in the lighl of safety on the vehicle deck, from which 300-plus commuter passengers disembark on a daily basis. "There's not enough room for all those people," said one commuter. "It's a dangerous situation now. We need passenger service if only for safety purposes, the numbers are growing every single day." But another commuter noted that many of his fellow passengers work in North Vancouver and said the downtown service proposed would be useless to them. "The needs of this community are different wilh the commuters we have, yet it seems to me Nanaimo always gets top priority with BC Ferries," he fumed. Surprisingly few people From left, Len Roueche, BC Ferries manager of planning and research joins general manager Rod Morrison In listening to local residents views about ferry service at a public meeting in Cedars Inn Wednesday, (iibsons mayor Eric Small takes notes. Joel Johnstone photo brought up the issue of lale night sailings, a service lhal local government on the Coasl has been pressing for in correspondence to BC Ferries this year. Corporation general manager Rod Morrison stressed that deliberations over a fast ferry service have never been viewed as an either/or choice to late night sailings. Noting Ihe Ferries' board is holding a planning retreat in the next few weeks, he said, "Your input is good and it's timely." He assured the crowd that late night sailings would be costed out, perhaps to run on select nights of the week. The corporation is being challenged by commuters and shareholders, Morrison said, to look toward new technologies for ways to belter serve transportation needs, wilh passenger- only service just one option. "We're asking you people is it reasonable to look at passenger service as complementary to the existing service. We can do it for a lot less than Ihe $50 million to $100 million it would cost for an additional ferry. "We germinate the idea," Morrison said. "It's up (o you to see if it's going lo grow." Among other issues discussed at the meeting were terminal services, parking, motorcycle charges, loading procedures, better cooperation between BC Ferries and Ihe Highways department and local representation on the BC Ferries board. Langdale resident Eric Cardinall raised the latter point, upset that the Coast's interests are currently represented by a director who lives in Alert Bay. "There's nobody from the Sunshine Coast on that board and that's a disgrace," he said. NDP MLA Gretchen Brewin, chairwoman of the board's recently appointed committee of community and client relations, explained at the outset of the meeting lhat the committee is charged with making recommendations about service changes and that Wednesday's meeting reflected the Crown corporation's new policy to consult the communities it serves. "We're very conscious of the importance of ferry service to everyone here," Brewin said. thing. "It's the Indians who should get special treatment. They were here before anyone else," Rob- son said. Though his strong opinion against Quebec met with some dissension in the classroom, many of the No-voter's said they agreed that unfair concessions had been made to the Eastern province, in particular, the guaranteed percentage of seats in the House of Commons. In his essay, fellow-student George Tjensvold wrote: "This means that 20 years from now Quebec may have the population of Gibsons, but still maintains 25 per cent of the voting power in our country. "To me, this is extremely wrong. To me this is a major flaw. If Canada is a democratic society, with everyone equal, why is one province receiving 25 per cent of the House of Commons? This is not only greedy but unquestionable." Their solutions? Equality for all. No special treatment. Some even suggested that - majority of population or no - everyone should get the same amount of seats in the House to be fair. Some students admitted they were confused by the whole affair, asking why are there so many "ifs", "buts" and "shoulds" in the document's wording. Rayment agreed he felt the document contained too much. Holding up a copy of the accord before his class, he said, "To me this is not a constitution." He qualified the stalemenl saying that a legitimate constitution, in the strictest sense, is a division of powers, identification of individual rights and definition of the acceptable form of ruling government. Il does not identify such specific political issues included in Ihe present accord, he said. He then quoted Thomas Jefferson saying: "There are certain truths thai are self-evident. "You should never have lo sell your constitution lo the people of Ihe country," he added. Jennifer Blahey said she would vote No as well but not for the reasons her classmates identified. Her No vote, she said, was based on an instinctual distrust of the deal. She said she wondered why the document was being pushed through so quickly. It should have been introduced at a slower pace so people would have a greater understanding about what it contains exactly, Blahey said. "Most people don't know why they're voting Yes or No. Most people think it's about Quebec. My parents think it's about Quebec. But we took it in school and it's not just about Quebec." She disagreed, too, that voting No meant you were not a good citizen. "I think it's up to us to decide. I mean, we're Canadians." asaaa^MB a*a*M ^_^_^_ Coasl News, October I1), 1992 Retirement and Insurance Planning ��� Retirement Planning ��� Life & Disability Insurance ��� Employee Benefit Plans ��� Serving the Coasl since 1982 ��� 886-9111 ��� Toll Free: 1-8(XM��()3-20S1 Mutuk 'ir.:' Iktntr ����h (4unJun (rfi-up Dt hunt*.

Youth council reviving native culture by Jane Seyd They're a group of about 25 teenagers who say they want lo change Ihe way Iheir peers are seen by some people in the communily. And while they're at it, Ihe Sechelt Indian Band's Eagle Youth Council wants lo do something positive for themselves. "Before we had this group, people hung around downtown and got into trouble," says Samanlha Joe, vice-president of the council. What the youth council offers is an alternative. Since the group first formed in January, that's meant activities ranging from swimming pool parties, dances, canoe pulling, and a week-long trip to Edmonton for a native conference called Healing Our Spirit. In fad, being drug and alcohol free is an important peart of Ihe youth group's program, says presidenl Selina August. Several teenagers have walched older family members fight alcoholism, and "we know how hard it is for Ihem," says Joe. "This is something we started lo break the cycle." Rediscovering their own cultural roots is also part of whal the group is doing. "We want lo gel back our culture, our singing and dancing," says member Carmeli- la Joe, who adds that many older band members lost Iheir language through the residential school system. Becoming proud of their heritage is one way of fighting an undercurrent of racism lhal still exists in lhe communily. "There's quite a few people who don'l like us," says Selina, adding it's a feeling often handed down lo non-native leens by Iheir parents, "...parents lell Iheir kids about whal they knew." Recently, a group lo deal with racism has been formed at Chatelech high school. "We want to make more friends, not enemies with non-nalives." This Saturday, a dance with a DJ and giant video screens will be put on by Ihe group al lhe Sechelt Indian Band hall from 8 pm lo 12 midnight. Tickets are $5 and everybody is invited. At firsl, says Carmclila, teens were reluctant lo join lhe group, but "they're starting lo find out how much fun we're having." Barkers buying Berton 's bullish banter by Jane Seyd Who says you can't change your mind about the constitution? Even if it's in an unpopular direction? "With the Yes side and Ihe No side both hardening ranks and getting mean about defending their positions, this is how it stood last week between Connie and Terry Barker of Gibsons: a household split down the middle on the referendum question. He was voting yes. She was voting no. He thought a no vote would begin the disintegration of the country. She said she couldn't believe that. He said the deal was a "compromise agreement." She said it came across as more of a political deal. Unlike a lot of British Columbians upset with the constitutional accord, Connie wasn't upset about Quebec, where she'd once lived: "A lol of people in BC don't know much about it." But she still had some nagging doubts. For one thing, the Terry and Connie Barker, coming to terms. Joel Johnstone campaign in favour of Ihe referendum didn't seem honest to her, and it was being run by politicians. Enter Pierre Berton, eminent Canadian and all round good guy in the Barkers' estimation. In spite of herself, Connie said she was "considerably impressed" by Berton's position in favour of voting Yes to the amendment. "He doesn't have an axe to grind," said Terry. "Pierre Berton knows more about Canada than you and me put together..." Connie's constitutional resolve was cracking. "...and he's not a politician..." said Terry. That just about cinched it. Pierre Berlon said the deal was okay. And as of this week, "I have jusl about decided to vote Yes," says Connie, although she adds she's not convinced a Yes will lead to Quebec giving up the goal of separation. Now that they're more or less in agreement, the Barkers' political personage watching continues. "I was really pleased to see Clyde Wells, but I was appalled al whal Moe Sihota did," says Terry. As for past prime minister Pierre Trudeau's sland against ihe accord, "He's a very smart man," says ferry. "But I don'l agree wilh him." Meanwhile, why all the emphasis on VIP opinions? Well to a large extent, say the couple, understanding the agreement is a mailer of political interpretation. "People like us, even if we had Ihe whole legal document we wouldn't understand it," says Terry. "We have to rely on public figures we trust. And there aren't that many." About Connie's recent change of mind on Ihe referendum, says Terry, "Sometimes she convinces me to look at Ihings again, sometimes I convince her." "My wife is one of the most intelligent people on the face of the earth," he adds. "If Connie Barker and Pierre Berton say Yes, it's got to be okay." UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Seeking reasons to vote - either way from page 1 "I'm extremely doubtful we could get an agreement like this again. I very much hope people will find a way lo accept it," he said. Meanwhile one man told Clark, "I would love lo vote yes but I just can't find any reason to do so." After listening to Clark, Rosemary Whitty of Sechell said she would probably vole reluctantly in favour of the accord. "He didn't really answer my questions." she said, alternative..." 'But Ihere isn't really any Local MP Ray Skelly, who also attended the forum, praised Clark for his work on Ihe constitution, and stressed Ihe deal as one agreed to by all federal parties. "Every lime he's been in my riding before, we've been at each other's throats with daggers," said Skelly. SEAVIEW GARDEN CHINESE RESTAURANT 886-9219 CANTONESE STYLE CHINESE FOOD .

The $24,000 Sandwell report concludes lhal a single vessel service is technically feasible sechelt council notes and financially viable for a Van- couvcr-Langdale roule, wilh recommended terminal locations at the Vancouver SeaBus Terminal and Langdale ferry terminal. A high speed catamaran, such as Ihe one being used by Royal Sealink between Vancouver and Victoria, is Ihe preferred vessel Sechell councillors have been asked by Ihe municipality of Burnaby lo lobby for a provincial ban on a board game called "Serial killers."Hurnahy has already adopted such a resolution. The letter slated the sale of lhe game was not lo in Ihe public interest but that Ihe federal government was powerless to stop it. None of the Sechelt councillors were acquainted with the game and mayor Nancy MacLarty suggested each familiarise himself/herself wilh it before making any decisions. Al a finance committee meeting the following week, however, Cllr. Peggy Wagner said she had looked for the game and not found il in the municipality. She said when she talked to merchants aboul il she was advised noi to publicize il, Ihere by creating a demand. "I think we should lei (Serial Killers) die a natural death," she said. for running such a service. "Final selection will need lo be based on required cruising speed, capital cosl and design features which can be incorporated to minimize damage from floating logs and debris," Ihe 18- page report says. The report notes that BC Ferries is facing increasing demand and an aging fleet of large vessels wilh very high replacement costs, and has identified fasl ferries as an alternative lo Ihe continued expansion of the car-carrying fleet. Supporting reasons for passenger ferries listed in the report's introduction include reduced car use, deferred terminal expansions and more use of existing ground transport. "In addition, introduction of fasl commuter services may allow the travelling public to make lifestyle decisions not previously possible." Smoking bylaw required to stop Sechelt mayor from lighting up by Stuart Burnside When the smoke clears following lhe Sechelt council meeting this week, it probably will have cleared for good. At least the cigarette smoke will have cleared from municipal hall. Council, responding to a letter from municipal employees, is ready to enact a bylaw lo slop all smoking in the building. Mayor Nancy MacLarty is currently Ihe only person still lighting up indoors. The mayor has continued to smoke in her municipal office despite a council resolution in April declaring the building "smoke free." Five of Sechelt's seven councillors voted in favour of that resolution, which was also in response to concerns from municipal staff. According to administrator Art Lew, lhe April resolution is unenforceable and a full bylaw is necessary lo give the municipal bylaw enforcement something lo act on. The mayor could be fined $75 for violating lhe proposed bylaw. MacLarty, however, says she will boycott municipal hall rather than light a cigarette Ihere if the bylaw is passed. She said she will move lo her home office lo perform her mayoral duties. "I'll only go (lo the hall) for meetings," she said, "everything else I'll do from my house." mm 820 KIWANIS WAY, GIBSONS Enjoy An Active - Carefree Lifestyle 22 Quality Patio Homes ��� Adult Oriented Prices start at $128,800 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath, Single Level Homes Fbrjurther information contact: TWIN OAKS DEVELOPMENT CORP. ��� (604) 886-4680 Hans Ounpuu, RR#2, S7, C26, Gibsons, BC.

The experience of living on the Sunshine Coast and the lifestyles and attitudes it fosters swirled in the undercurrent of the public meeting on ferry service last week, highlighting the gap between the ferry corporation's ideas and local residents' needs; pitting the Financial realities of government against the transportation desires of a growing community. All tempered with the knowledge that the Coast's identity and sense of separateness, a quality most people want to see preserved, is put in the balance Ihe minute you start talking about improved ferry service. After hearing aboul the Ferry Corporation's market research on the feasibility of introducing a fast ferry, passenger-only service between Ihe Coasl and downlown Vancouver, locals took the microphone to drum home the message that they believe what is needed most is an expansion of the existing conventional service, preferably the addition of a second vessel rather than a high-lech solution to serve principally commuter needs. But corporation general manager Rod Morrison made it clear when he stood up to comment on the questions and concerns raised that the cost of adding a second ferry is prohibitive at this time given the existing population of the Coasl and the budgetary constraints of Victoria. It's rather odd to weigh that viewpoint in the context of an hourly, two-ferry service thai used to ply back and forth between Langdale and Horseshoe Bay at all hours well into the 1970s. The economic realities have changed in the halls of power, as too have the development pressures that are now beginning to transform the Coast. Ferry service lies at the heart of changes to come. As one resident, reading from a Pebbles Realty brochure, pointed out: "Only because of restricted ferry service has the Sunshine Coast been protected from really intense development." Improving ferry service for those who already live here carries the double edge of widening the floodgates further to a Lower Mainland population looking for an accessible place to call home. The meeting demonstrated the new ferry board's commitment to come out to the communities its serves and hear what residents have to say. Some worthwhile ideas and comments, positive and negative, were aired. But it seemed for all the world as if amid the obvious need for improvements, the potential impact of ferry service expansion in the 1990s has not been fully weighed. The suggestion by one resident at the meeting of setting up a working committee on the Coast to hear residents' views, recommend changes and liaise with the Ferries' board is a good one. And it should be supported by the appointment of a Coast resident as a full-time member of the board, a glaring omission for which there is no excuse. Ferries are a vital service upon which we all depend, an essential link to the world beyond these favoured shores. It would behoove us well to consider carefully the changes in service we are advocating before we find that the ship has sailed, talcing with it a cherished way of life. nam iMMmic iWrffeL'n letters Breathing space badly needed According to the often intimidating and vociferous throngs of 'Nay Sayers', the Charlottetown Accord leaves so much to be desired il deserves an ignominious defeat by all Canadians. There's indeed little doubt thai the Oct. 26 referendum could be one of the most important political events in Canada's history, and one lhal deserves our most serious thoughts and consideration. However, while I concede lhat the Charlottetown Agreement is flawed, what laws devised by mere humans have ever been perfect, pleasing everyone and keeping all parties concerned satisfied? Even though a confirmed Liberal, and in spite of the 'Vote No' grandstanding of such Liberal luminaries as Pierre Elliot Trudeau, and similar exhortations by provincial Liberal boss Wilson, I find it difficult to escape the true realities of our bicultural (English/French) nation. The late Bruce Hutchison, who on occasions was called Canada's Conscience, reminded us that as Canadians we "musl accept and nurture the double destiny that life has laid upon us, or lose the right to continue as a nation." And there is no doubt that, when all is said and done, the stark fact remains that Canada without Quebec will no longer be the country that all of us know and most of us treasure. As to those who reproach us wiih the warning thai sooner or later the ghost of Quebec's separation will surface again to haunt us, even though we accept Ihe accord, a "yes" vote now will at least give us a breathing space for a number of years, and time to move on. And lhat, more than anything else, is what is badly needed now. AL KEITH Sechelt Editorial offensive I found your Ocl. 8 critical editorial of opposition leader Gordon Wilson offensive, off the mark and very close to being such a misrepresentation of all the facts that it was worse than yellow journalism. The internal differences between members of the BC Liberal caucus are as normal as inter-personal relationships can be. The only fully accurate statement I read in your cryptic remarks was "...a national vote as complex and far-reaching as the referendum on October 26." You, as one who lakes on the responsibility of integral com munication as a public spokesman via your newspaper, should commend a caucus and Mr. Wilson for not being a flock of mindless, aimless, blinded sheep who simply fall in line because someone, such as you, saysIhey should. A healthy difference of opinion where there is freedom, after thorough discussion as look place in the caucus, lo differ and take differing positions on an issue is commendable. I am a bil disappointed that Mr. Mitchell chose to resign his position over the difference, but he too musl act upon his conscience. I am not, or have not been, a strong supporter of the BC Liberal Party in the past. However, I am very appreciative of Mr. Wilson's open integrity, his careful study of issues and his willingness to share his growing awareness of the complexities of issues, especially the unity referendum.

One ought to hear his reasoning before they lambaste him in an editorial which states lhal his No position is one of political opportunism. REV. FRANK W. SCHMITT Sechelt Waking up to forestry effects Thanks for the articles on logging in the Tetrahedron and the editorial on preserving Ihe remnant of did growth on the Caren. Jane Seyd's articles were interesting, informative and refreshingly fair; the editorial provided the needed long-term overview on a local controversy. Hopefully Coasl News readers will consider lhe implications of present forestry methods on forest ecosystems not immediately in our backyard like lhe Tetrahedron and Caren. Logging doesn't have to radically change forests for human convenience and there are initiatives for a Forest Practices Act to protect forests on inlets, islands or mountain ranges presently out of sight and out of mind, far away from awakening communities like our Coast. W.R. HENDERSON Gibsons Tbe poignancy of a Canadian fall is keen this year The most magical time of the year is upon us. Keats' tribute to the season of 'mists and mellow fruitfulness' always haunts the consciousness in such October days as are with us now. Along with the season of thankfulness for the hairvest and the plenty with which we are blessed, autumn always brings to this scribbler, and perhaps to others, a sense of melancholy, of the transience of things beautiful and of life itself. This rich ambience malces this for me the most magical of the seasons. I have celebrated the season of thanksgiving in almost all of lhe provinces and in one of the teni- tories of this vast land. Everywhere the magic pertains though dressed in different garbs. In Eastern and Central Canada it is without challenge the champion of the seasons. The winters tend to be cold, stormy and sloppy; spring is a great uncertainty there with many false starts and many disappointments. I remember going to school on the west end of Montreal Island dressed in blazer and flannels and open-toed sandals. It was a lovely spring morning when I walked the 15 minutes to the train station for my 20-minute ride out to the suburbs. When I came home that night winter had stormed back and there was 10 inches of snow to plow through, sandals and all. musings john burnside Neither is the summer a great contender for my affections as it is known in eastern and central Canada. I think of it as uncomfortably muggy and hot and infested with hosts of winged insects with a taste for blood. I can remember days in Montreal when the temperature was ninety-five above Fahrenheit and the humidity was 100 per cenl. I can remember a picnic we started to have on tbe northern shores of Lake Superior. We had a little picnic basket and a red and white chequered cloth to spread on the sandy beach of the great lakeshore. We didn't actually get acquainted with the contents of the basket at that sitting because we were driven off the site by an unspeakable horde of black flies who were pic nicking on us. But, oh, the fall colours on the hillsides at this most magical time of the year. Not to have seen the colours of eastern Canada from September through the middle of October is unconscionable. Last year Frances, a prairie chicken from Regina, spent some time in the east and found it wonderful. In die Yukon the autumn is earlier and shorter. Overnight the hillsides go from green to a patch work of dark green and brilliant light gold as the birches and the poplars don their most colourful garb for one last fling of riotous colour before the falling of the long northern night Certainly the poignancy is not lessened by the thought that soon there will be a six-month winter which will get colder and darker for months progressively after the last glorious rapture of the autumn. Fall gets a run for its money in the north, mind you. I think if I haid my preference for the rest of my life I would spend the last half of April and the first half of May in Dawson City when the ice breaks up on the great river, a mile wide and 2,000 miles from the sea. The crocuses and the wild roses bloom simultaneously in one compressed explosion of returning life bathed, by that time of year, in 20 hours of sunshine a day. For most of the past 20 years I have been privileged to spend the months of fall along this beautiful and fruitful coast. Like many residents, I count these weeks after Labour Day as the best weeks of the year. A tranquillity returns to the bays and rocky coves and the birds which winter here paddle thoughtfully through magically misty mornings. Not even the wonders of an eastern fait can outdo the magic of our West Coast autumn. The sense of sadness which accompanies my delight at this time of year is somewhat sharper this year than I have known before. This country that I have been fortunate enough to come to know and to love has never, in my opinion, been well served by its politicians, but this year I have a terrible sense of misgiving about the path along which our political leaders have strayed. I remember those parts of this Canada of ours which have been my home -nd whilst I am about the holy business of giving thanks I also most fervently wish that this most blessed of the world's countries can manage to stay together. It is a bound giant tied down by petty men. In their posturing folly they may bring the young giant down for good. What a sadness would be there. ii ' COAST^NEWS Cen.il.: 1 year . $35 ��� 12.45 CST - $37.45 6 months- $20* $1.40 CST-$21.40 1 year ��� $40 (No CST) Reg.

It was written by a professor of economics at Harvard bul ii had nothing lo do really wiih economics, ll had lo do wilh his hobby, which was baseball. Every summer it seems he would off and ankle aboul wilh a lape recorder and interview old giants of the game wherever ihey might be found and get Iheir stories of Ihe game. The book musl have been one of the firsl simple compilations of recorded interviews and God knows ihere've been enough of ihem since. This one however had a loi of verve and zip and character lo it. The old ball players had a varied lingo. They also had a varied memory, as I do myself. This made Ihis book, on ihe face of ii a simple recording of interviews wilh aging baseball players, something special. Different players told Ihe same story over from different points of view and the differences could, of course, be quite entertaining. Unfortunately it is a long lime since I've seen this book and due lo my varied memory I can't bring back any detail; bul ihe overall was lhal there was a real and strong and abiding love for Ihe game among these grizzled professionals. Sometime back, around the same time 1 suppose, I suggested to a CBC television program lhat they lei me do a 60-minule thing comparing baseball and cricket. They thoughl Ihis a frivolous notion, but is il? The Iwo games engage massive and emotional .-mention over much of the globe. It is of course unnecessary at this time lo point lo Ihe numbers of people following baseball in Canada. Sixty-thousand turn oul, al .SO dollars a seal, al Ihree o'clock of a Wednesday afternoon, and, presumably damn Ihe wheels of commerce. In England, where a match at cricket can go on for days, you don'l need a Walkman (o follow the action. Construction types on scaffolds have radios dangling, and you can't go for a paper without knowing who's bowling. The whole country seems to be tuned in to this odd performance going on on a relatively small green pilch somewhere or other. The two games are very different today, but in their basics they are pretty much (he same. Someone throws a ball, someone tries lo hit it wilh a bat or In a nutshell club, someone tries lo calch il. I'rom Ihis, however, Ihey have diverged aboul as far as you can go, given this starting format. It's not just Ihe difference in ihe manner of play, which can be extreme. Just Ihe look of Ihe games, the cricketers in their flannels and so on, the baseball players sliding into second and so on; bul the two games are in fact very different. I don'l have a dale for this but back in Babe Ruth's day the leading cricketer, W.G. Grace, visited New York and was invited lo appear at a baseball game. There is early film foolage of this event and Grace, a sturdy figure with a long black beard, is seen hitting a home nm. Since then so far as I know Ihere has been Mule come and go. There are few places where both games are played, almost none really. Many of baseball's top players today come from Ihe Caribbean and lhe Wesl Indian cricket team from apparently the stuart nutter same place has been taking all before it al Lord's in London, bul these lads don'l come from Ihe same islands. They don'l play cricket in the Dominican Republic and Ihey don'l play baseball in Trinidad. Al Ihe time of writing Ihe first game of Ihe World Series has yel lo be played, bul ihere has been some celebration of lhe fact lhal Ihis is the first one lhat a Canadian (earn (from wherever) contends, and indeed the first non-US leam, despite ihis 'World' bit. There are people on the airways saying, already, thai Ihis is someway historic, meaning I'm not sure what. Could the upshot of Ihis game affect the course of events in any way? There was a time when Australia threatened to break off diplomatic relations wilh the old country because of a cricket game. Could a Canada/US World Series affect the American vole? letters Take a positive position Much has been said about the proposed constitutional agreement and ils strengths or weaknesses. My belief is that any agreement will have areas of concern lo some Canadians because of lhe vastness of our country and the many cultures within il. No negotiated agreement, be it legal, labour or constitutional, will satisfy all individuals, nor will it address all the issues brought forth. The key lo success is a consensus of agreement by the negotiators wilh the will lo continue lo address points thai remain contentious. The leaders of Canadians have met, debated and reached consensus on the issues. Although I don'l support all of these leaders it's encouraging to see thai Ihe constitutional debate resulted in parties at the table coming together with a resolve that they are recommending to the people of Canada. Canadians should examine the proposed agreement, note our concerns, take a positive position wilh a yes vote and allow our future generations (o continue to build our constitution and country into the best anywhere. STEVE HOLLAND Gibsons Rejection risks deepening rancour With his provincial Liberal party's fragile unity shattered and his powers of persuasion and leadership stretched beyond their limit, we can only hope thai Gordon Wilson has begun to appreciate how difficult il is to draw together forces that constantly threaten lo pull apart.

Few countries are as difficult lo govern as Canada; only our spirit of compromise has enabled us lo survive as a nation for 125 years. How rare il is lhal our elected leaders concur on anything! And yel a cranky citizenry may destroy whal has taken years of public consultation and political negotiation to accomplish. It is dishonest for Mr. Wilson to say we can expect more under some different process if this agreement is rejected. Rejection will only result in a deepening rancour and a further polarization in Canadian politics that will make any compromise impossible. (Exactly Ihe scenario which political extremists in the Bloc Quebecois and Reform Party pray for.) Imagine putting Gordon Wilson, Bill Vander Zalm, Jacques Parizeau, Lucien Bouchard, Pre- slon Manning and Judy Rcbick in a room to solve our constitutional dilemma. No agreement could result except to dismantle the country. HARRY HILL Roberts Creek Read constitutional deal carefully Virtually all federal and provincial elected leaders are supporting the Charlottetown agreement. We pay these people to keep Iheir fingers on Ihe pulse of Canada. When Ihey say this is the bottom line, they know what Ihey are talking about. If our elected leaders honestly feel that a wrong choice could have dire consequences, is it not Iheir duly to tell us so? Read the Charlottetown document carefully and ask yourself; "If I honestly felt that a No would mean Ihe breakup of Canada, is there something so objectionable here that I would lake Ihe risk?" As for Trudeau, while I admired him when I was younger, I now feel lhat his over-reaction to the 1970 October crisis led to the rise of Ihe Parti Quebecois. In response lo Ihe terrorist actions of a small handful of discredited extremists, Trudeau sent lanks into the streets of Quebec. Jailing hundreds of innocent people under martial law, he radicalized thousands of moderates. Imagine the feeling of parents sending their children to school while the streets were lined with machine guns and tanks? Put yourself into their shoes. Despite all his other proven qualities, Trudeau's sledgehammer approach to this sensitive issue may yet destroy that which he seeks lo protect.

Reforming the law for grandparents by Roxanne I; regain Lasl summer Jacqueline Hilton stood before the l-'.timl> Court bench in Secliell. She lefl grieving and in tears. She had committed no crime, but she was judged guilty by association As a grandparent ihe court denied her request for visitation rights wilh her only granddaughter. Kach year thousands of couples divorce, and custody rights are generally awarded to the parents. Sometimes children become wards of Ihe court if both parents are unsuitable. In Jacqueline's case, custody of her infant granddaughter Kale went to her daughter-in-law. In an interview Thursday, Hilton talked about her own experience and Ihe (irandpar- enls' Rights Association, which she is helping to Organize in Sechelt. "In court, I was denied access lo my only grandchild. I was devastated. "I believe in the importance of the nuclear family, and I Ihink there are many people divorcing today because ofIhe breakdown of Ihe traditional extended family. Lawyers in family practice will often recommend mediation as the best way lo solve family disputes. I have been told by many agencies that grandparents have no rights, that they have no mandate to draw families together. "Ideally, litigation should be a lasl choice after other alternatives have been exhausted. It is extremely difficult for a grandparent to face his or her own children in court, and to fight over Ihe issues of visitation rights or custody. Grandparents are uniquely qualified lo provide roots and a sense of identity to our grandchildren." Hilton, a former publisher and active communily organizer, is enthusiastic about Ihe Jacqueline Hilton holds a picture of her granddaughter Kate. response she has had locally for establishing a Sechell chapter of the Canadian Grandparents' Rights Association (CGRABC). She is currently circulating a petition which will be presented lo Ihe legislature asking that rights for grandparents be the same as those outlined in Quebec Statute 6S9, which in part proclaims, 'Our hope is lo be able to influence tbe legislative process, so that the rights of That in no case grandparents are assured' Jacqueline miitm may a molher or father, without serious cause, place obstacles between the child and grandparents." "Signatures are jusl rolling in," said Hilton. "The community response is really gratifying. We are hoping lo hold an organizational meeting in November, and we are looking for volunteers who would be willing to serve on Ihe execulive for Ihe Sechell Branch. The B.C. organization was established eight years ago and is federally registered as a charitable organization. "Our hope is lo be able lo influence Ihe leg ^_____ islalive process, so thai the rights of grandparents are assured, regardless of who has custody. We will be both organizing a support group and holding public meelings," Hilton said. "Nine organizers from Ihe BC Association recently presented Ihe NDP caucus wilh our request for law reform. We have had input wilh Ihe current Child Protection Legislation review committee." Although the BC Family Relations Act provides for access lo children by Iheir grandparents, Ihe court may decide to deny access based on what it believes are Ihe besl Joel Johnstone photo interests of the child. Grandparent access is usually based on the grandparent/child relationship which existed prior to the court's intervention. The right to access is usually described as the child's right. In Ihe case of very young children (especially when a child is loo young lo be cognizant of a relationship), or where violence against a parent is involved, lhe court may deny a grandparent access. The BC Association is trying lo ensure lhal if a child is "apprehended" by Ihe Ministry of Social Services, the grandparents and other members of the child's extended family will he contacted first, before that child is placed in foslcr care. Hilton, currently petitioning lhe Supreme Court of BC for visitation rights, holds a photograph of her granddaughter and says, "I jusl want lo hold her." People interested in becoming involved in lhe Grandparents' Rights Association can call Hilton at 885-7190, Forest practice code relies on incentives by Jane Seyd Simply pul, it's the carrot and stick approach applied in the one place most companies will feel it. Under a forest practices code proposed by the BC forest resources commission, companies which practice good forest management will stand to make exlra money, while those which create problems for Ihe environment will find cash going in Ihe opposite direction. The proposed code, developed by the commission under Sandy Peel, would apply lo all Crown forest land, private managed forest land and private land within Iree farm licences. While It's not exactly a radical change of direction, the proposed code would give Ihe Ministry of Forests more options in dishing out both incentives and penalties lo companies. It would also make such moves on Ihe part of the ministry more legally enforceable. Among Ihe strategies sug gested by Ihe code lo entice companies toward solid forest management: quicker approval of licences, reduced monitoring once a good record is established, and drastically reduced or eliminated royalties on limber volumes produced by intensive silviculture practice. Al present, many forest companies aren't especially inspired lo practice silviculture beyond Ihe basics of what the law requires, says Sylvi Holmsen, who works in forest practices for the Ministry of Forests' Vancouver region. "Many of Ihem feel it's not worth doing." But a big break on stumpage fees for the trees produced could change lhal. Saving the planet may be well and good, but as the forest practices code stales, "self-interest was a significant motive to provide Ihe necessary invesl- 'It's really important not just to be waving a big stick' ���Sylvi Hnlmseii Elphi instone Secondary News��� Parents Advisory Council Meeting: Oct. 19, 7:30 pm All parents invited.

Other potential incentives include use of a marketing seal for companies who meet specified standards, which could be used lo promote products in environmentally-conscious mar- kels like Europe and offset threats of boycoll. "It's really important not jusl to be waving a big slick," says Holm- sen. On the other side of Ihe equation is a graduated penalty system suggested in Ihe forest practices code, in which Ihe cosl matches Ihe severity of Ihe infraction. Such a system could progress from warnings lo fines to eventual loss of cutting licences. Fines would go to a special fund towards environmental restoration and public education. In addilion, companies would be required lo make a deposit prior to culling, which would be used lo pay for any necessary clean-up work required later. Al the moment, Ihe public sees penalties are not being enforced, stales Ihe report, due lo lack of political or adminis trative will. Says Holmsen, "They want lo see if a company has done something wrong Ihey are punished." One goal of a forest practices guide would be to make those penalties more specific and enforceable. "Right now it's not that clear as lo when an infraction is occurring," says Holmsen. Among other measures recommended by Ihe Peel commission is a system of independent audits, approved by a Forest Board rather than Ihe Ministry of Forests, lo keep Ihe forest industry on track. "There was a strong consensus thai ihe auditors had lo be independent of both the Ministry of Forests and Ihe limber industry," slates Ihe code report. Holmsen agrees that in Ihe public perception, the Ministry of Forests' role in bolh limber harvesting and managing the forests for other uses is oflen conflicting. According lo Ihe Peel commission, communily participation is needed in forest and land- use planning, which will be further addressed by another commission on resources and environment, now headed by Stephen Owen. r Soil Newsprint Roll Ends Varloua air��� tor SS, $10 and SIS each - In Clbton. al 537 Crutc Ltm ��� In Saw/M* at am Cowrm St | GOSPEL ROCK by Valentine Lands Development Corp is seeking expressions of investment from persons who are interested in the potential purchase of proposed lots in the Gospel Rock Development or are interested in a limited partnership Investment opportunity for the development of these properites.

Joel Johnstone photo george In glbeons by Beverley Shipley Sammy Socred. You cheeky thief. So has been named the pair of Stellars Jays residing in my back yard. They became the official bird of British Columbia a few years back, during the Socred kingdom. The name Sammy comes from 'The Adventures of Sammy Jay,' a much-loved old book belonging to a group of animal adventures written by Thornton W. Burgess. Sammy Jay was a vain, handsome, trouble-making, incredibly clever bird, who reigned over the forest. How typical of the last Socred regime. Sammy Socred is a lazy fellow and doesn't like to work for a living any harder than he has to. But in the winter it isn't quite as easy. Sammy may be handsome, but he is very greedy. Try putting out seeds for all the local birds to feed on and Sammy is there scooping up cheek- fulls with his nut-cracking beak and rushing away to store it all somewhere. Jays particularly love peanuts.and sunflower seeds. If you throw out a few, he will quickly pick up on it and fly in for the feast. But jays hide a good portion of the nuts. Look around closely in the spring and you will find nuts stashed in various hidey holes, long for- davisbay gotten by Sammy. The juncos, towhees, wrens, and sparrows have a hard time competing with this big pushy neighbour. Watch them for a while, though, and nature seems to work it all out. All the birds seem to get their fair chance at the food. Your Rights Whether you vote Yes or No - do it - vote on October 26.

This popular winter program is sponsored by the Wilson Creek Reading Centre and the DBWCCA. A gala farewell party was held at St. Hilda's Hall on Saturday night for Ronnie Dunn, who is returning to her native Scotland Nov. 4. There were speeches, songs and entertainment, which included the bagpipes played so ably by John Webb. Ronnie has been a Coast resident for over 20 years and leaves behind many fond memories, but also takes many with her. Happiness in your new life, Ronnie! In June I told you the story of a young woman who was paralyzed from the neck down after suffering heart failure. Her name is Cathy Frenken. She has just been transferred to Pearson Hospital in Vancouver and is terribly depressed with her situation and the surroundings she is in. She can, however, talk now, which is a boost for her and her family, but she remains unable to move and depends on a ventilator to breathe. Going Away on Vacation?

May I ask you again? Her address is: Cathy Frenken, RR#1, Heather Site, Sechelt, BC VON 3A0. Bless you. If you want to read the technical history of Davis Bay/Wilson Creek, I know there are textbooks available, but I hoped to bring you a more personal insight into the people and events that helped to shape our present community. Thank you for the positive feedback I have received, glad you've enjoyed the articles. I understand there are those who are keeping them in scrapbooks and albums so they may pass some of the history on. Along with dancing, singing, elocution, sewing, cooking and knitting lessons, there were bookkeeping and shorthand classes taught by Mrs. Alfie Renton and Louise Maywood. But it was not all work; there were times of play, too. When the community hall was finished, the only illumination was by gaslight. It was decided to throw a birthday party for Kay Franske and Don Caldwell; but some of the elders felt the young people were not too reliable and chaperoned to make sure they behaved themselves. Never mind that they were all married with young families! How limes have changed. Dances were held in the summertime on the Davis Bay Wharf with Jack Whitaker and his musical group providing Ihe tunes. The wharf at that time had overhead electric lights which provided the necessary light. Then, like now, il was hard to get men to participate in the running of the association, so in I960 the executive consisted of one man and five ladies, known affectionately as the 'sexy six'. They were Adair Erickson, the lone male, Leslie Jackson, Eleanor Crucil, Maud Kraft, Millie Forbes and Kay Franske. The association provided, sponsored and contributed to the numerous events thai helped to build the community it is today. Girl Guides, Cubs and Scouts, swim classes, even boxing lessons were but a few of the activities supported by Ihe association. Box socials, Chinese dinners, father and son banquets, mother and daughter dinners, were all part of the social structure of the community. A toast to the early settlers of Davis Bay and Wilson Creek! I must say thanks to Kay Franske who has so ably kept a journal about some of the events as they happened. We need more recorders if we are lo pass our history on to our young people. ^ CtuisMHutt-lVtidi lirta-Mri-ff*** BONPED LICENSED MSURED I AT SUNNYCREST MALL IT'S OCTOBIRFEST TIME!

It was a quiet occasion for she has been housebound for tlje past four years. "We came wilh our cousins in 19I0 on lhe SS Tartar. My aunt, Mrs. Armour, bought land at a point near the dock where a huge arbutus grew and built her house there. Although she called it Arbutus Point, the site soon became known as Armour's Beach. "My mother loved Gibsons, too and bought a lot near Ihe Inglis house, bul my father, who was a school teacher, couldn't see commuting by weekend steamship. But we summered here and then in 1936 my husband and I came to live here and we extended the summer cabin into a house." Her husband and Chris Jorgensen in time opened a furniture store near what is now the Lucky Dollar building. Mrs. Bryant has been a widow since 1958. She attended Lord Tennyson school in Vancouver, and remembers Ihe False Creek of those days, "a pleasant place with handsome homes on either shore. But False Creek losl ils charm when the landfill was done lo make way for the railway." Best wishes lo this pioneer.

This situation points up another reason why I almost always recommend the NRS National Real Estate Service and MLS. Should the listing be an Exclusive and I only told 26 people about the home - there is a good chance that one of those people would buy it. However, il the listing Is on the NRS National Real Estate Service and MLS and 9000 people know about it - something magic happens. More than one party wants to buy the home. And you get more than one offer. In effect, a bidding situation has been created. Whenever this happens, the Seller usually gets more money for his home and sometimes he gets more that he's been asking. When you list your home or business with me - my goal Is to sell It as fast as possible, for the most amount of money with the least amount ol inconvenience lor you. In my opinion, the way you do that is to list It on the NRS National Real Estate Service and MLS.

THE NEW CONSTITUTIONAL AGREEMENT THE HIGHLIGHTS , ���-' i A Social and Economic Union Ovsr the past two years, federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal leaders have consulted with thousands of Canadians and concerned groups from coast to coast. These consultations included Royal Commissions, participatory conferences, parliamentary hearings, and hearings in the provinces and teirito- ries held by provincial and territorial legislatures. Federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal leaders have agreed unanimously on August 28, 1992 in Charlottetown on a package of constitutional proposals that recognizes the equality of all Canadians and represents all of our interests. The agreement is now before Canadians. The agreement proposes that the new Constitution would contain a statement of key economic and social objectives shared by all of the governments in the federation. The objectives include comprehensive, universal, portable, accessible and publicly administered health care, adequate social services and benefits, high quality primary and secondary education and reasonable access to post-secondary education, collective bargaining rights and a commitment to protecting the environment. The economic policy objectives to be entrenched would be aimed at strengthening the Canadian economic union; the free movement of persons, goods, services, and capital; ensuring full employment and a reasonable standard of living for all Canadians; ensuring sustainable and equitable development. Exclusive provincial jurisdiction would be recognized in the areas of forestry, mining, tourism, housing, recreation, municipal affairs, cultural matters within the province, and labour market development and training. In addition, to ensure the two levels of government work in harmony, the government of Canada commits to negotiating agreements with Ihe provinces in areas such as immigration, regional development and telecommunications. Federal-provincial agreements on any subject could be protected by the Constitution from unilateral change. The new Canadian Constitution would recognize the distinct nature of Quebec, based on its French language, unique culture and civil law tradition. Parliamentary Reform Avoiding Overlap and Duplication Distinct Society In the reformed Parliament, the Senate would reflect the equality of the provinces while the House of Commons would be based more on the principle of representation by population. As well, various provinces would be assured a minimum amount of seats in the House of Commons. The proposed Senate would be made up of six elected senators from each province and one from each territory. Additional seats would provide representation for Aboriginal peoples. The reformed Senate's powers should significantly increase the role of the elected Senators in the policy process. The proposals recognize that Aboriginal peoples have an inherent right to self-government and that the Constitution should enable them to develop self-government arrangements and to take their place in the Canadian federation. The proposals recognize Aboriginal governments as one of the three constitutionally recognized orders of government in Canada. In addition, the proposals provide for a negotiation process between Aboriginal leaders and provincial and federal governments to put this right into effect. The recognition of the inherent right would not create any new rights to land, nor dilute existing treaty rights. Now that Canada's federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal leaders have reached a consensus, it is the right of all Canadians to understand the new proposals. Call the toll-free number below to receive an easy-to-read booklet on the new constitutional agreement or a complete text. It's your right to know whal the constitutional proposals say, before voting on October 26.

Ad Sponsored by Sussex Really Out of the Silence to play Raven's Cry hy Darah Hansen One of the great tragedies of family violence is that the knowledge of it's existence slays in the home. In loo many cases the victim is forced into silence, made lo feel powerless with fear and intimidation. Vancouver's Headlines Theatre is trying lo change ihis situation by offering a stage to those who will use it, and a forum for those who will listen. "Yes, we're political and proud of it," said the company's workshop and community coordinator Patricia LaNauze. "It is our mandate to put on theatre that will effect social change." Oul of the Silence is the company's current production. It's a play created by five members of the city's Native population chosen through the Urban Representative Body of Aboriginal Nations (URBAN) and developed in cooperation with Headlines artistic director David Diamond. It's the result of a six-day "Power Play" Theatre for social change workshop held lasl year in which the group, working together through a number of theatre games and exercises, created a dialogue and scenario dealing with what they considered to be the important issues of family violence. A 25 minute play, the production is performed twice - once for audience comprehension and once for it's active participation. During the second run-through, the audience is asked to come onto the stage, take the place of an actor and replay the scenario with his or her own ideas. The actors react "in character"; consequently, only some of the audience solutions work, some just don't, said LaNauze. The whole purpose is lo give Ihe individual a chance to see how a reaction might work in a situation that is safe to experiment in. "It gives a voice to people who don't have a voice," she said. The process is called 'Forum Theatre', a method that gained its theoretical basis from a concept called 'theatre for the opposed', developed by South American Augusto Boal in the 1970s. "It's fairly radical," said LaNauze, adding that, although still very popular in South and Central American countries and in England, only a "handful" of Canadian theatre companies use it. The original show ran two-and-a-half weeks at the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island and it met with much praise from both both the Native and non-Native community, said LaNauze. "It's an issue that is very close to home." A year later, the project has been remounted with a new three-woman, two- man professional cast and is expected to perform to over 27 venues across BC. Locally, the Raven's Cry theatre will present Out of the Silence November 24 and 25.

The doors and windows are closed to keep insects, moulds, fungi and other airborne pests out and away from the artifacts. The doors are also kept closed and the windows are curtained or have a special coating applied to them to filter out ultra-violet rays from the sun. Even ordinary everyday lights and fluorescent lights have UV rays. This is the reason museums are dimly lit. UV rays do a lot of damage to artifacts, from fading photographs, to discolouring and weakening the fibres in fabrics, to drying out wooden objects, causing them to weaken and crack. Another concern for a muse- um is human fingerprints. It doesn't matter how gently you touch an object or how clean your hands are, the oils and acids in human skin work insidiously, breaking down the structure of most materials. Although there are many other concerns and hazards involved in operating a museum, one of the biggest ones is accessibility to the public. Currently, the Elphinstone Pioneer Museum is open Mondays and Tuesdays from I pm to 5 pm and Wednesdays from 9 am to 5 pm and whenever else staff is in. More volunteers are needed. "We've had calls as to why we aren't open on weekends so school children and tourists can visit us," says Lola Westell, president of the Elphinstone Pioneer Museum. "It's simply a matter of staffing. People volunteer what hours they can, and we would love to have someone volunteer for the weekend shifts." Westell adds: "We are submitting funding proposals to hire a permanent staff peison to enable the museum to be open more often." The Elphinstone Pioneer Museum will also open its doors to group tours. If you would like to book one call 886-8232. Or slop in whenever you see the open sign on the closed door of the Coast's regional museum.

One not normally seen anywhere near these parts: a Sandhill crane. Abram and her husband, Ken, live beside Chapman Creek, soulh of Highway 101 on Mission Point road. Behind their house is a medium-sized duck pond on neighboring native lease and private land which is somehow filled from below ground. Abram has been feeding sacks of crushed barley to an odd assortment of birds for quite a few years, but lasl spring she had Ihe unlikely crane visitor show up for the first time. Says Vince Bracewell of Ihe Sechell Marsh Society: "There is a small group of cranes which probably nests somewhere on the upper Coast and migrates by here on their way south, but Ihey normally fly at such high altitudes you'd never be able to see them. "This one was first spotted last year in the Iree farm near there. It was probably injured and the safety of the fence around the farm saved it from any would-be predators." When first spotted last year, however, it was assumed the crane would take flight when fully recovered and rejoin its feathered friends. So far lhat has not been the case. In fact, it appears the bird likes Mission Point so much it is going to lake up permanent residence there. Taking "Marmariuke" out for a walk. Gwen Abram strolls along the Mission Point boulevard with an almost domesticated Sandhill crane. Keith Thirkcll photo Said Bracewell, "If it's not gone within the next couple of weeks, I'd say It's here for good." The Sandhill crane stands about Ihree feet tall, has beauti ful grey/blue plumage, a long slender neck like a greal blue heron and sporls a ruby red skin patch on it's head. Marmaduke, as Ihe locals now cull him, makes a habit of strutting up and down the boulevard at Mission Point, going from house to house picking up tid bits of food from admiring fans like Jack Huge! and Ihe Abrams. "On Duck Pond', as the Abrams house is known by all at the point, seems lo be Marmaduke 'a favorite foraging area. "He flies over, hangs around Ihe ducks and geese, digs holes in the ground looking for grubs and generally enjoys himself," Abram remarked. "He did try to mate with a heron lasl spring and he was herding around a bunch of geese like Ihey were his flock, obviously wiih intentions of reproducing, bul none of Ihem were interested even though he has beautiful breeding plumage and does a wonderful dance." Bracewell said there is only one other Sandhill crane known lo be living on Ihe Coasl and lhat is al the Riefel Bird Sanctuary in Delta. "We've, (Ihe Sechell Marsh Society), contacted Ihe people al Riefel and expressed our inleresl in seeing if Ihe two cranes could be united and they were interested in pursuing thai possibility," Bracewell remarked. He added he is concerned aboul possible attacks from dogs and other threats to the bird because of the crane's seeming lack of fear. Por now though, "The Duke" seems perfectly content to gracefully glide in for his 10 o'clock feeding and display his plumage lo all who wish to notice, especially perhaps, potential feathered companions.

The workshop targets the entrepreneur who has already established a business. The eight-hour seminar covers: effective marketing plans; marketing from the home; advertising, promotion and publicity; selling; developing Ihe right image; examples of home-based business marketing; and managing more efficiently and profitably. "Standard business practices are as important to home-based businesses as they are to BC's leading corporations," said Economic Development Minister Dave Zimhelt. "Many businesses start at home and later expand to commercial offices. These successes create employment and contribute significantly to the local and provincial economy. "In conducting workshops, my ministry is anticipating the growing role of home-based businesses in a changing economy." Zirnhelt said there are now 130,000 self- employed people operating businesses out of their homes in BC. "Bul of Ihe 15,000 new home-based businesses started annually, only 20 per cenl survive the first five years. Workshops will increase the chances of success." The workshop will be held at the Soulh Campus, Capilano College, 5545 Highway 101 on Friday from 7 pm lo 10 pm and Salurday from 9 am lo 3 pm. The fee for the entire workshop is $35.

Winners Ocl. 12 were: firsl, Tom Wood wilh Louise Nichol and second, Joy Middle- ton and Joy Wilson. Learn how to play bridge or how lo play belter by using the point count system. Assign value of four points to the aces, three lo kings, Iwo to queens and one to Jacks: a total of 40 points in a deck of four suits. It is generally accepted that with 13 points you can enter Ihe auction of the dealt hand (13 cards each). And that is exactly what it is - an auction for the privilege to play the hand - so if you don't have Ihe money (13 points) don't bid! Long suits are of exlra value and the modern approach is lo add lo your point count one point for each card pasl four in a given suil (one point for fifth card, one for sixth, etc.).

Coast News, October 19, 1992 19 SPCA: in for a penny, in for a.... /^"DEPENDABLE" AUTO SERVICE by Stuart Burnside The local branch of the Society for Ihe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) can't wait ��ny longer for local governments to create a united Coast animal impound facility. Instead, the society is seeking control of the Coast's only existing dog pound, located in Gibsons. SPCA president _____ Clint Davy says the move lo acquire control of the pound is necessary because of the burgeoning pet population on the Coast. The number of stray animals ��������� taken under the SPCA wing has grown 40 per cent from last year ihere is limited kennel space at the animal hospital where the animals are currently boarded. "I gel a sense that they're quite favourable to the idea," Davy said of his talks with the town of Gibsons to acquire the pound. "We've been dealing with the administrator (Dan Ugg) who will be bringing it up with council." "We don't feel we can wait any longer.' - Clint Davy 5 YEARS AGO Gordon Wilson became the new leader of the provincial Liberal Party last week, when nominations closed on Friday with his bid for the leadership unchallenged. Wilson told the Coast News that his first order of business would be to appoint a caucus to advise him on issues of paramount importance. 10 YEARS AGO Sechelt Indian Band lost longtime leader Clarence Joe. Clarence's was a long and active life. He had been a respected logger, stevedor and fisherman, and was instrumental in establishing the Indian Fishermen's Assistance Program. A larger-than-life image of George Gibson presided over the successful beginning of the Centennial '86 Society meeting. 15 YEARS AGO Regional Board director Metzler was critical of regional board staff Wednesday, over the issue of a letter sent lo the BC Land Commission. Director Metzler's criticism centred around the fact that the board's staff had not recommended the exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve of Creekside Estates. 25 YEARS AGO The latest report of wolves being spotted in the area comes from Ernie Burnett. While hunting Sunday afternoon between Langdale and Port Mellon, Emie saw a big wolf on a skyline rock. He said he was disappointed he had a gun instead of a camera. 35 YEARS AGO A permit for an $8000 two storey building to be used as a sales and service building for Smitty's Boat Rentals was granted by Gibsons Village Commission Tuesday night. 45 YEARS AGO Teen Town held its first dance of the season in Sechelt United School on October 10. The largest dance yet to be sponsored by the Sechelt Teen Town boasted over 60 teenagers present. Legg told the Coast News it was too early to say whether the SPCA request would meet with council approval. "We're looking at the town's interests and ihe interests of the SPCA," Legg said, "and hopefully Ihey will coincide." Many of those animals taken in are picked up by the Town of Gibsons and the regional district, both of which use the Gibsons pound. If the animals Ihey collect aren't claimed in a 72-hour period, the SPCA takes responsibility. ������������ Davy said if the SPCA takes over operation of the Gibsons pound, the facility would be upgraded to also serve as an animal shelter, and animals could slay there longer than 72 hours while waiting to be claimed or adopted. "We (Ihe SPCA) will keep an adoptable animal for a minimum of 10 days," said Davy. "We try to avoid putting animals down if there is a possibility we can find them a home." According to Davy, there has been talk for at least two years about the possibility of a pound/shelter facility being built and funded by Gibsons, Sechelt, the Sechelt Indian Band and the regional district, possibly near the Sechelt airport, but nothing has progressed beyond the talking stage. "We don't feel we can wait any longer," Davy said, "... the talking could go on forever." In the event the SPCA takes over the operation of Ihe Gibsons pound, and as part of creating an animal "shelter" at the site, the facility would be expanded to include a cat room, washroom, and possibly additional kennel space. In addition, Davy said the SPCA would probably need to hire a full-time attendant for the facility. did you .now...

All of which means the operating cost for the SPCA could increase by as much as double, to around $40,000 a year, most of which apparently will have to be paid out of society coffers as local governments have yet to provide any funding. "We've approached (all of the governments) about cost sharing for the facility and, at the moment, they aren't com mitting themselves," Davy said, "So I guess we'll have lo be financing it ourselves." Most of Ihe SPCA's funding comes through $10 annual memberships and the donations of individuals and businesses. The society is currently in the throws of a major fundraising campaign which will help finance Ihe Gibsons facility if its operation is taken over. TERMINAL forest Products Ltd.

The BC Housing Commission, which funds non-profit housing societies, recently turned down the Area A Seniors Housing Society's submission lo fund a 10-unit subsidized housing project off lhe Francis Peninsula Koad on lite grounds lhal it didn't meel lite urgency of other provincial requests Ernest Koih, manager of housing ,md development said lhal when lenders closed in Apnl ova 127 submissions had been made to Ihe Commission i If that numbei only .'(> project! weie given apptoval lor funding "Ihis is normal practice." he said. "It means for every one happy peison. I have lour very unhappy people " He said lhal beyond (he Communion then is no other governmental funding mecha nism available for such a project and suggested lhat organizers either re-apply next year or lender lhe project oul privately Ihemselves. Bul lhal suggestion isn't helping Ihe project now. Ken Burroughs, director of Ihe Pender Har- hour proposal, said whal Ihey need is the $.��J0,lKJ0 to buy Ihe land that has taken so much lime and effort lo acquire. The urgency is based on an 18- monlh option initial ly granted by the property owners to the organization in order lo gain approvals necessary and purchase Ihe land at lhe negoli- aled price Thai option has now expired and Burroughs feels it's unfair lo ask Ihe owners io hold oul wilh a price thai is now below the present real estate market value Burroughs lakes into consideration, loo, that official approval for Ihe project regarding sewage and rezoning is site- specific. Should Ihey lose Ihis parcel of land Ihey would have to start Ihe whole process again. And that would be a shame, said Burroughs, who saw a need for Ihe project in the community after witnessing many long-time Pender Harbour residents forced to move away from their homes into sub- The problem is sidired housing in other areas. (i lack of available funding everywhere' Bill Bosail, Greenecourt seniors' housing manager, understands the Pender Harbour society's frustration after having been turned down for additional housing funding "half a dozen times." He approximated Ihe waiting list for (Jreenecourt at ISO names. "It's political," he said, adding thai he didn't think it was coincidental lhat funding was being regularly denied lo a non-NDP riding. In Bill Lang's opinion, the manager of Ihe Kiwanis Heritage Apartments, the problem is a lack of available funding everywhere. Lang said he's also been refused the necessary fund ing to expand Ihe existing 42- unil housing project in Gibsons even though his waiting list is "enough lo keep us going for a very long lime. "You can always accuse the government of not spending enough money. They're just being overly cautious." He said lhal although the Sunshine Coast has an increasing need for Senior's housing, he feels the government is reluctant lo build housing lhat may not in Ihe future be filled to capacity. His own 42-housing- units are Both expressed their support for Ihe Pender Harbour proposal explaining lhal lhe need goes beyond just finding affordable housing for seniors restricted by lighl pension budgets. It's finding housing that is in a familiar communily, close to family and friends, close to medical clinics and shopping stores and equipped with facilities to support disabilities. They're different, loo," Box- all said. "Some of them won't even talk to each other if they're from different communities." High school exchange trip to Quebec in the offing Sunshine Coast high school students arc being given the opportunity lo bring their Canadian history books to life, courtesy of ihe federal governmenl. Eighteen grade II and 12 students from Gibsons and Pender Harbour high schools have been chosen to take part Ihe Voyageur 1992 Exchange Program which will have them Hying lo Chambly Quebec for a one week educational experience. The students will respond by offering their homes to the Quebec students. "It's u fantastic learning experience," said teacher Robin Helhey, who will be accompanying the nine Elphinstone students on their trip, Nov. 15-22. The Pender Harbour students will leave Nov. 4-11 to Ihe same town. Already on the itinerary, Hethey said, is a two-day trip to Montreal and a visit Ihe old part of Quebec City, the Chateau Frontenac and the Plains of Abraham. "It's a chance for student to understand each other, said Helhey. "The French students will say 'Gee, BC is a neat province' and our kids will say 'Those French Canadians are really neat.

But the wildlife biologist who's doing the report says a further field sludy won't be needed. Says Dale Seip from Ihe forest sciences division, "My recommendation is we didn't need any more detailed work in the Caren." According to Seip, wildlife science will not be the deciding factor in determining how much of Ihe Caren is preserved. Marbled murrelets appear to move their nesting sites from one year to the next, says Seip, so "it's reasonable to consider all Ihe old growth forest potential nesting habitat." Guidelines used for murrelet habitat protection in other areas, such as Washington State, suggest setting aside at least 200 hectares of old growth forest. "To save more would be better. To save less would also be valid," says Seip. "The population nesting on the Caren Range is a minuscule proportion of the total. It's not an area of overwhelming importance. "ll ultimately becomes a management and political decision." 1 III .11 t 1,11,, FRESH, FRESH, FRESH! 1 Iimt minis ,iln,in 1 rrs|i ( ,,|',.(.
