Sechelt Indian Band Friday sent a telegram to Jack Pearsall MP, MLA Don Lockstead, federal Environment Minister Jeanne Suave, Senator Guy Williams, Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and the Native /Brotherhood. . The telegram was as follows: "Regarding the four tanker cars containing 340 tons of chlorine lost in the watersSf Malaspina Strait. "We the) Sechelt Indian Band are concerned about potential dangers environmentally and otherwise that could be the outcome of this mishap. "We strongly urge our. federal and provincial governments to take all action necessary to locate these cars and eliminate the potential hazard that now exists in this area." The telegram from the combined local governments asked the incident be carried a step farther. The telegram, sent to MP Pearsall, demanded a full, public inquiry into fee spill. That telegram read as follows: "Radio and newspapers reported yesterday (Friday) Ministry of Transport terminated search for chlorine tank's some time ago. Private firms. cannot carry on further because MOT refuses necessary funds. "At a joint meeting of the'regional board and the councils of Gibsons and Sechelt resolved to make the strongest possible representation through our Member of Parliament to the Ministers of Transport and Environment that the .reponsible authorities at once resume search until chlorine cars are "found."'" '"'"'"'"'"' ���-,.-.:.���<-���.����� - -. "We are extremely upset with the Vancouver MOT Buchanan reported as stating, "We think tanks are in keep water and nobody is pushing us.' "Joint resolution of regional district and councils includes demand for a public inquiry into the accident and the actions of the tug captain before,during and after the spill of tiie cars and the manner in which the search was conducted by the MOT, Royal Canadian Navy and private firms. "Regional and councils have been assured of the full support of the province of B.C. WORST DAMAGE of the storm which raked the Sunshine Coast last week occurred at the- V. Harris residence on Redrooofs road. A maple tree on highway right-of-way adjoining the Harris property toppled in the high wind mwm. smashing the living room in the'Harris house. Harris estimate the damage at $14,000 and repairs will have to including rebuilding most of the roof and all the front part of the house. Harris said the response of the neighbours in helping he and his wife out was overwhelming. See Halfmoon Bay Happenings inside. ��� Timesphoto eather review . The Chamber of Commerce is concerned over an impending drought on tourist accommodations. "We have received word, "Sechelt and District Chamber of Commerce president Frode Jorgensen told The Times, "that the Department of Highways crews will be on the Pei^JL^^iQr'~most ofthe slimmer. The Aamb^r^sv^oricerned that this will reduce drastic-allfH' ftfe accommodations which normally"^ter, to the tourist trade." The result of this lack of accommodation willbeiliat the visitors who regulaBy come and; stay in the area will not be able to find accommodation in the area and will pass Ihrough. "'=��> ,:J "In ordervto,help the' situation and en-' '���courage the tourists to stay in this area for a while, the chamber is looking for any resident who is willing to make room available for the visitors. "Even if people just have a back yard available where visitors could pitch a tent for Ihe night, we would appreciate hearing from you," Jorgensen said. He suggested anyone willing to give any kind of accommodation give their name and address to the Chamber of Commerce. "If people would send the information to Box 360, Sechelt, we would be happy to get it in order and have the information available at the Tourist Information Booth when it is set up this summer," he said. The Tourist Information Booth is being set , up Jin .the Peninsula Service Gulf station adjacent to St. Mary's Hospital in Sechelt. "That way if some visitors come in and have been unable to find accommodation, we may be able to point out a home where they could stay for the night or camp," Jorgensen said. les@F��oiF eyed GIBSONS ^^Uage council's engineering consultants have recommended construction of a.50,000 gallon reservoir to serve the Reed and North?Road areas; '���'-. ' ��� ' ���'"*'��� In a report submitted to council's April 1 meeting, Dayton and Knight said the reservoir should be located on village property near the junction of Reed and Henry Roads. The proposed water storage tank would be a compromise, said the engineers. ��� "... The best system would be to build a 1000,000 gallon reinforced concrete reservoir at or near Cemetery Road at elevation 730," the report noted. "However, to save costs and to expedite establishment of the third (pressure zone), it is possible to build a reservoir smaller, of less durable material and on village-owned property." , The report was referred to council's water committee for consideration. A six man committee has been set up to initiate the local government reassessment program. The six man committee was chosen at a S0Y��S IlY@S There Is ono Business Coast resident who can give first person testimony on the valuo of a well-stocked Red Cross Blood Bank. , In lato November last year, this resident entered hospltul for nn operation which wns necessary to bring him back to good health.

At that meeUng, chaired by Gibsons Mayor Larry Labonte, the committee was formed. A seventh member may be added. Labonte told the meeting, "the question wo are facing here this morning is the formation of a conimittee to initiate this study, My recommendation is that a committee be formed to take a look at tho Issue and decide how best it be tackled. They would form the basis of tho steering committee for tho study. That way this group would meet only every three months or so to listen to tho committee's recommendatloas," Someone asked about Uio regional improvement districts' which wore not represented at tho meeting, "They will havo to be ^brought In somowhero," Mayor Labonte said, "It has been suggested that the' Improvement districts got together nnd elect ono or two representatives to sit on Uie steering committee. " ' Regional Board' Chairman Frank West nominated Don Penson and Tim Frizzell to sit on tlio committee for tho regional board. Both nro reglonnl directors. Gibsons appointed " Aldorman Jim'MotzlcrMd Stuart Metcalfe" for tho forming committee. Secholt appointed Aldermen Norm Wntoon and Ernie Booth. Tlio possibility of adding another member from tho regional district was discussed and accepted by Mayor Labonte. Tho Jdon como1 forth because of the higher number of people living outside tlio viltagos. Mayor Labonte said ho would leave that decision to tho roglonal hoard, Mayor Labonto charged Iho committee with netting out tho procedures and laying tho ground work for tho committee which will do Uio actual evaluation and ro-ovaluaUon of local government, Alderman Metoalfo asked about tho availability of technical data and .staff from each government taking part In tho study, Mayor I.-nliontofliild,; "I would liopollialaU" available data and map,*, would bo madu avallablo to tho committee," West said, "Tho regional offices, boardroom, maps and equipment aro open to tlio committed and to *to\h councils,*'The only stipulation ml by the* f^vormnonts wan that tho reference materials not Iks removed from tho offlcos, "Wo have to pick oach others brains," Mayor Harold Nelson said, Weather March 29 - AprU 1 Prec.

The telegram was signed by Regional Board Chairman Frank West for Mayor Larry Labonte and Mayor Harold Nelson of Gibsons and Sechelt. The telegrams were prompted by reports Friday that the four firms who had taken over the search for the cars missing since February 19 was to be terminated when funds ran out. A spokesman for the four companies said Uiey were reluctantly ending the search Friday. Internal funding had actually run out last Tuesday, he said, but the search had been carried on as long as the companies could carry it. The four chlorine cars were lost from a barge when it overturned in Georgia Strait February 19. Each car contains over 80 tons of liquid chlorine. The Search by Seaspan, Can-Dive Services, Com Dev Marine and Westmar, a U.S. company, of the area between Merry Island and Nelson Island also turned up negative. Reports from the search were that the search was hampered by the original tug's tog which contained inaccurate or poorly recorded informatioa Operations Manager Fred Collins of Seaspan International said the MOT had been approached for more funding for the search but had been turned down. Collins said the four companies will now look to the owners of ihe cars and chlorine for additional funding. The cars are owned by FMC Chemicals and have been valued at up to $500,000. The liquid chlorine is the property of MacMillan Bloedel. MOT Regional Director H.O. Buchanan said he was satisfied the cars were not,in shallow water and therefore finding them is not urgent. Regional Board Chairman West countered with, '"B they don't know where they are, how do they know they are in shallow water?" Buchanan said the ministry was considering mounting another search during, "a slack period when the equipment was available at ho extra cost." ,_...,Company spokesman.Collins said theiour companies were reluctant to give up the search, "because we urgently want to prove our point that our equipment can do the job. Under the company's system, the tug would scan an area and if a positive reading was received, an underwater television camera would be lowered. Rough seas had hampered attempts to lower the television camera. Week's total .48 ins. April ,41 Ins, 197515.33 Ins. March rainfall ��� 3.92 Ins. no snow. March average 4.88 Ins.

Reports out of Vancouver reaching The Times have it that Seaspan International has a secret. , A Vancouver radio station Reported Sunday, Seaspan, co-ordinator of the private company search for the four missing chlorine tanks, has found the tanks, but lack of money has forced them to stop the subsequent confirmation and recovery. Furthermore, the report claimed, Seaspan Is keeping the location a secret until either the government or the companies who own the tanks and the chlorine como up with money to continue tho operation, Seaspan lias said nothing official on the report.

The provincial government is considering assistance to water systeins. In letters to the village^councils ^ Don Lockstead solicited support for a private members bill which would see the same kind of assistance now available for arejaswho wish to install sewers available for areas who wish to put in water systems. -s. Sechelt Village was quick to jump to the support of the bill; but Gibsons decided they wanted more time to study it. In Sechelt, the council voted unanimously to send a letter of support the bill in principle. In Gibsons, the letter was tabled for a report from the public works committee. Sunshine Coast Regional District has sent letters to the pollution control branch and the real estate board concerning a development at Halfmoon Bay. At the regional board mwting, Director Peter Hoemberg said, "In the Square Bay ^Development, the sewerage outfall has f broken and the^fr^l^htplaritdbeshbt^eeril' .,- to be. working properly. Sewage tricklesrout and enters the lagoon. I have received a 'number of complaints." The development is located within Director Hoemberg's area. x��� ^'Attempts to get the plant. operating jproperly have not been very successful. I ^make a motion we send a letter to the {' Pollution Control Branch telling them the plant is not operating and we send a letter to the real estate board telling them we are not prepared to give building permits on the development." The second part of the motion stems from a directive tae board made to it staff some time go, Chairman Frank West explained, "we instructed the building inspector not to issue any more permits on that development because the sewage treatment plant was not up to standard and we said at that time we would not issue any permits until we had a leitefbh file frbhvte was operating properly. To date wehave not received such a letter." Director Norm Watson questioned the need for sending a letter to the real estate, board. i'I'm; thinking.about the possible legal implications," he said, "we may be interfering in a legal way we are not empowered to do." Director John McNevin said, "I think we have to make the public aware of the situation for the protection of anyone who would buy in the area in hopes of building." The motion was passed. Sechelt Indian-Band will be doing something "about their dog population this week. ,':, , ;���""���, Band Manager Clarence Joe told The Times, "we are worried that the dogs are going to become a health, problem. We have had one incidence of a child being bitten. "There are too many dogs running loose,'' he said, "so we have appointed three band members to gather up as many dogs running loose as they can and have them destroyed. We have put out a warning to all band residents to keep their dogs from running loose if they vsilue them." The band manager said, "in addition, a health worker will be taking a survey of the dogs ta the villlage. That will show who owns the dogs and how many female dogs there are about." ' He said many of the dogs running on the reserve are ownerless and many are starving. . ��� This is the second time such a dog round up has been carried out on the reserve.

The building was started in July 1974, an- is now almost complete. ' Trustee Ed Wiggins told The Times that the project would be completed within five per cent of the estimated $30,000 construction ^ cost. 1 He said that many local firms and in- j dividuals had donated materials or time to ttie project. Gaylord Merkle, chairman of the Pender Harbour Fire Protection Area board of trustees, officially opened the hall by handing over the key to fire chief Larry Clayton. Merkle presented a plaque to Rod Webb, volunteer supervisor of the construction project, for his efforts. Wiggins said the next step would be the purchase of a new fire engine for the department.

It's a mixed bag this week so to start with here aie some items about Legion events. April 29 saw the first Annual Easter Parade in the Legion Hall and by all accounts it was a great spccess. The local 'Harbour Lights' performed to an appreciative crowd as also did the Pender Harbour Choir who deserve a vote of thanks for their services to Senior Citizens. A Rube Band taken from the ranks of the Harbour Lights players was an added attraction. The highlight of the evening came when the ladies paraded wearing their home made Easter bonnets. There were many delightful creations and it is a pity all of them couldn't be prize winners. First prize went to Mrs. Hoskins, second prize Mrs. Lawson, the novelty prize went to Mrs. Don Cameron and a special prize went to Mrs. Bachop. Watch this column for details for upcoming events at the Legion. For instance in May there will be a Hard Times Dance, a Hawaiian Dance in August and a Halloween Dance in October. More on these at a more appropriate time. Here is an item I can mention now. Legion Branch 112 Shuffleboard is holding a Banquet and Dance on April 12. Yup, that's this coming Saturday.

SOS Pja^ER HARBOUR A , Easter Saturday morning I was sitting brooding over a cup of coffee in Kelly's (yes, you unbelievers, a coffee) and thinking of how quiet the house is after the departure of our guests when two personable couples came in. I started talking to them because one of the girls was wearingfa realy crazy hatMd I told her she should enter the Easter Bonnet contest. One thing led to another and soon I knew their names and heard their story. It was quite a tale they told as they wolfed down their Kellyburgers. Their names are Richard and Litsa and Clint and Michele. On Good Friday-morning they climbed aboard Richard's 30 foot OiriscrafX ��� the 'Merri Four' at a marina
Larry Clayton looked at the wrecked props and shafts and said it would take time so the young folks stayed the night in Pender Harbour hotel. Early that Saturday morning they prowled Madeira Park looking for a place to have coffee and breakfast. When Sunny
