Volume 13 - No. 14 Wednesday, March 3,1976 If Port Mellon workers are forced by the anti-inflation board to take .less than the bargained settlement, they want the cash value of the decrease to be fed into the community. After a meeting of Local 1119 of the Canadian Paperworkers' Union Saturday in Gibsons, local president Ron McPhedran said the 1.1 per cent settlement decrease the anti-inflation boaj/d has called for would mean an $80,000 profit bonus for the Port Mellon pulp mill in the first year of the contract. In the first year of the contract settlement workers were to receive a 16.1 per cent in- - crease. The anti-inflation board wants that rolled back to 15 per cent. Saturday's meeting was called to review the situation. Approximately 100 union members attend the meeting. McPhedran said the company has already budgeted for the setUed increase and decreasing the settlement would mean a higher profit for the company. He added that the overseas price of pulp which is set by the company is not controlled by the board. "We feel that if we can't have the $80,000 in wages or benefits, then it should go to some charitable purpose in the community." But the union will not be quietly accepting the board's ruling. McPhedran said there would be a meeting in Vancouver this week of all CPU representatives from Western Canada to discuss Uie rollback. He said an appeal to federal cabinet would likely be made. . v- He indicated he did not think there would any immediate strike action. "The union can't make a move like that unilateraUy.

Yon get what you pay for The proposed elementary school for. Pratt Road is facing a population explosion which could make it the area's third largest school. Sechelt School district had been looking at a three classroom school for the Pratt Road area; but new figures on the students living in the area have caused them to consider a four or possibly five room school. At last week's, board meeting, representatives'or Killick Mete Field Associates, school designers, told the board they were looking at a design where the board could start with a three or four room school and then add easUy to it. George Killick told Uie board he had worked out a design for a steel frame structure which would serve as a three classroom, library and administration area school, ''but it is also the initial portion of a major building. We could be looking at the start of a 12 or 16 room school. Killick said the Initial design he was looking at would give a school with classrooms 15 per cent bigger than Gibsons elementary, each room with a 'wet area,' a sink and storage cupboards. He said the design was such that 'open areas' could be created if necessary. The building is rectangular around a central courtyard. Each side of the rectangle has three or four rooms depending on the design. Each 'unit' of rooms make up a side of Uie rectangle. A four room school would be one side of the rectangle and the school could 'grow' by adding more units until It had reached the optimum 12 or 16 room size. Tho designer said the classrooms were "fairly conventional" except for Uie wet area. Included In the design for the Initial school are three classrooms, a library resource, area, an administration area and a 50 foot by 00 foot gymnasium. Killick suggested tho gym be connected to the main school by a covered play area. He advised the school board to go for a four room rather tlian three room school. The cost of the three room unit was estimated at $373,000, The four room structure would be nbout $400,000. The part which surprised tho school board was Uie growth of population in the area. A survey a year and a half ago pinned the number of students in i the area at about 90. The staff of Gibsons Elementary recently took a survey and the number is now set at 163. This includes Grade one to seven living in Uie Pratt Road area, Gower Point area, along Highway 101, the Henry Road and Reed Road area and the trailer court. It doesn't include kindergarten students. Excluding the Reed and Henry Road students, the number drops to 145 plus kindergarten. Eliminating the trailer park and highway students the number becomes 96 plus kindergarten. Taking away the Grade sevens, the number becomes 85 plus kindergarten students. ' The board said they would be wise to decide soon what students would be going to the new school. Chairman Celia Fisher said she was surprised to hear the number of potential students for the school had grown so much., "This gives us a good case for going to a four room school at Pratt Road," she said. Board secretary Roy Mills said that if the school was built to accomodate all the students in the area, it would be the third largest elementary school in Uie district behind Gibsons and Sechelt. It would be larger than Langdale, Roberts Creek or Madeira Park, he said. Superintendent John Denley added, "We may have a case for five rooms." Regarding Uie new school, Denley said the board should be looking at a minimum number of classrooms with a full gym and full resource centre. The board voted to approve the Killick plan for a four room school on a construction management basis. The matter will now have to go to Uie department of education. The board later met in camera to discuss site location. Since the amount of junk mail arriving "at Sunshine Coast addresses doubled recently, a number of people have been asking us when we are going to start giving our paper away too. To be honest, we think too much of The Times to start giving it away. We have a large number of subscribers who have paid for their papers in advance and we think too much of them to pull such a stunt. We think we have a good newspaper. We try to meet the needs Of the community and bring the people of the community news, information and messages from advertisers. While our subscriptions and counter sales cover by far the majority of homes on the Sunshine Coast, we would like to make it easier for all homes here to get The Times. For a number of weeks now we have been planning a promotion to bring The Times to more, homes locally. It was decided some time ago that a good way to do this was to offer Uie subscription at a lower price for Uie duration of the promotion, a sale if you wish. The second idea was to get The Times people who do not normally receive it. The best way to do this is through the mail. Knowing what a bad name give-away papers have given the publishing industry, we did a lot of soul-searching before deciding to go ahead with the plan of sending copies of The Times to each householder on the Sunshine Coast for a limited time to show people what they would get by subscribing. Starting next week for three weeks The Times will be delivered to every home on, the Sunshine Coast. It will continue to be sold in local retail outlets and on the ferries as well. We want to emphasize that this is a subscription promotion only and we have no intention of carrying on the idea permanently. There's enough junk mail around.now. It will give everyone on the Sunshine Coast the opportunity of seeing what The Times has to offer. In conjunction with the free home delivery, The Times wUl be offered at a substantial reduction in the regular subscription price. Each issue will give details on how to order The Times. A resolution supporting capital punishment will be presented to the public Justice Council meeting to be held In Sechelt Thursday, March 4 at the Senior Citizens Hall at 7:30 p.m. Tho Justice Council was set up last year to give community Input into changes in criminal legislation. The council has called this meeting In light of Uie federal government's proposed Peace and Security Bill now before the House of Commons. Any resolution adopted by tho general meeting will be forwarded to the federal government. The resolution to be put lief ore the March 4 public meeting concludes that "the federal government reinstate capital punishment and direct available funds to searching out potential criminals while still In the school system and trying to solve problems before they become lnsolvable." In part the resolution states, "criminals convicted of capital offences are sick beyond rehabilitation, any expenditure on such people Is wasted, as long as such people are in incarceration, they always liave some opportunity to escape and create more problems, such people have opportunity to be released on society on completion of their sentences and wreak vengeance on the persons who may have had a part in their conviction, and prolonged Incarceration Is a far worse punishment tlian execution. "Expenditures wasted on hopeless causes should be used on getting at potential criminals while they nro still rebabilltablo, no matter how young." lecheBt study roiling again "Communication between the school board and the ImiihI Is not that great," Sechelt Indian Hand education co-ordlnator Ted Dixon told Sechelt school board last week nnd he wants something done nbout It. "There was talk of the construction of a new Junior secondary In Sechelt," Dixon told the hoard, "I learned Uirough the Department of Indian Affairs Hint the school hoard lias approached them for $300,000 toward construction of the school. The school board was asking for money but there was no band involvement in Uie project. That made us concerned," Dixon sold he didn't want to see the band uso the $300,000, "as a noose over the board's heads." He said, "We have 00 students at Sechelt Klt'mentnry and M) students nt Elphinstone. We should have some say In the educational process of the students." Dixon said the Sechelt band Is seriously looking nt approaching the school ^district with the possibility of adding somelNntlvo Indian studies to the curriculum, V "We arc looking at some curriculum enrichment in terms of knowledge about our nation, our culture, our science, our medicine and our post. We would also Jlke to sec some enlightenment on what tho Indian student is facing. We would like to see some Information Into what land claims are, what the cut-off question Is and aboriginal rights." Dixon said tho band was In the process of reviving Us school committee, "We arc thankful the school board accepted the Invitation to come here. I feel some of us (IwhkI members) will bo sitting on the board after the next elections." Trustee Claus Spclkcrmann said he would like to see a feasibility study with Uie band, the board and teachers Into tho possibility of wliat Dixon talked about, School superintendent John Denley said, "I would like to see a Peninsula studies course set up; but Uiat would be a waste of time without noticeable Input from tho Sechelt band," The board passed a motion to set up an adboc committee with the band nnd the Sechelt Teachers Association on the development of such a curriculum. Trustee Spclkcrmann also suggested Uiat representatives of the Sechelt Indian Band be Invited to the South Coast Branch BCSTA seminar If local curriculum development la to Iks ono of the topics discussed. After a seeming lapse in developments for some months, the Sechelt Vicinity Study has been rejuvlnated and the concerned public will be again asked for input into the type of community they envision. Based on tho Sechelt Vicinity questionnaire that was circulated to the public last year, tho Sechelt Vicinity Committee has come up with three options for the development of the Sechelt and vicinity community plan. In a release Thursday, Uie committee outlined tho three options which represent possible levels of development for the community. They arc; ��� Regional Town, which would Include only Uie development needed to serve the residents of Uie area, . ��� Public Recreation Centre, which would be a regional town plus the sendee centre for a major wilderness park around Sccbolt Inlet, ��� Resource Development Centre, which would bo the public recreation centre with expanded tourist-commercial nnd Industrial development, Including major gravel extraction. At Thursday's regional board meeting tho full details of the options were taken under ndvlscmcnt by directors and will be made public after Uie directors liave had a chance to comment. It Js expected the option details will bo available in two weeks. The release said that each option consists of a possible set of policies to govern the community, and a description of how Uie area might develop under those policies. It nlso makes clear the options nro only possible choices out of a wide range that are available, "They can be changed or added to If the public desires. "The Sechelt Vicinity questionnaire, tabulated last year, made it clear that the people of the area had some definite views about the future of their community. They said they wanted a small country town or large village, retaining a human scale, In proximity to unspoilt natural surroundings, They also felt Uiat major change In the community, Including large population or economic growth, would cause more problems than gains. The Sechelt Vicinity Planning Committee, with members from the Sechelt Indian Band, Sechelt Village, and the Regional District, has designed the options for the future of Uie area to be consistent wlUi these wishes of Uie community. "When an option has been chosen, a draft of a complete plan for Uie vicinity will be prepared for public approval." Sechelt's proposed sewer system took a step closer to becoming a reality last week. The Department of Municipal Affairs last week notified the Sunshine Coast Regional District that they would receive the letters patent for the district to take on the sewer' function. Also it learned the department had no objections to the financing and rates structure proposed for the sewer system. The district had been waiting for the letters patent, for some months. According to Norm Watson, Sechelt's sewer advisor, the province was holding up the letters patent until the province's participation in Uie sewer financing was approved. Under Bill 88 the province contributes 75 per cent of the annual carrying charges on sewer systems over a three mill increase to taxpayers. Watson said he expected the letters patent to arrive in a couple of weeks. A trip by a delegation of local politicians to Victoria to see what was holding up the letters patent has been cancelled. Regional Board chairman John McNevin said the letters patent put the district back "in the sewer ball park." He said the necessary by-laws for sewers will be drafted for the region. McNevin had no Idea If Sechelt's proposed sewer system would proceed by proclamation or go directly to public referendum. If the district proclaims the sewers will be built, there will be a 30 day quashing period after the announcement to analyse any dissent. If over five per cent of the people who are slated to receive sewers object, the proposed system must go to referendum. A month after becoming Uie district's deputy registrar of births, deaths nnd marriages, Sechelt's village clerk Tom Wood lias conducted four civil wedding services, Woods said lie finds performing wedding ceremonies a pleasant bronk from his normal routine. "It's a change from getting complaints," Ho took over the position for Uie government from Judy Mntbon Feb. 1. For those in Uie market for birth, marriage or death certificates, see Tom Wood at the Sechelt Village office. The cer* llflcatcs are $2 apiece. A marriage license if $5 ond a wedding service will cost you $7.50, 'unacceptable' The proposed sewer system for Secret Cove is unacceptable to the provincial government. In a letter to the Sunshine Coast Regional Board, tho Department of Municipal Affairs said "we have received the proposal and wish to advise that wlUi tho small number of lots to bo served and the coat Impact on Uie grant structure, we nre not prepared to recommend approval." It was anticipated Uio sewer system would serve some 15 lots in Uie Secret Cove area and Uio total cost of the system would be In the neighbourhood of $100,000. Under Uie BUI 0(1 the province would carry 75 per cent of Uie annual carrying charges for sewers over a three mill Increase In taxes in a specified area, WlUi the financing nnd rote structure worked out for the Secret Cove system, the province would have paid $0,000 for the first year after the sewers were Installed, Tills figure would liavo decreased yearly as niiaessments climbed nnd-or more residences were hooked up to the system. lxicnlly the system was Uiought to lie a necessity because un Environment Canada survey of Uie Secret Cove waters showed the iinrbour was too polluted to warrant the harvesting of shell fish, John McNevin, regional board chairman, said Saturday the provinces decision may not ��� See Page A-3 A y A y / A PageA-2 The Peninsula Times Wednesday, March 3,1976 The PzmmuhitfdMeb Don Morberg, Managing Editor of "A free press is the unsleeping guardian every other right that free men prize." ��� Winston Churchill No blackmail It may look like Sechelt Indian Band . used $300,000 in Department of Indian Affairs money to blackmail the Sechelt school board into letting the band have more input into local education. In another day and another age with another board that may have been true.. The present school board have proven on many occasions that they will go out of their way to listen to the case of the teachers, parents and students on a wide variety of topics. The construction of the new schools with input from everyone from the future students to the janitors serves as a good example. There would be no necessity to blackmail the board into listening to anyone about anything. They appear to - be willing to listen, and more important to consider and implement what they hear. This, coupled with the Sechelt Indian Band's revitalized school committee, could be a major step toward a more desirable and 'equitable education situation for all* local students. The answer will be in the ability of all concerned to keep up the detenhination and keep open the lines of communication. Get the answers It has now been more than a year since four tank cars of liquid chlorine were lost somewhere between Squamish and Powell River. To chronicle the federal government's lack of interest and massive excuse-making for not doing a thorough job of locating the lost cars would be fruitless at this point.. While the federal government plays musical environment ministers and the environment and.the MOT have shied away from since the mishap first took place. They have gone out of their way to try to convince us there was no danger, wasted a massive amount of time, energy and manpower groping around in the dark while the answers that would shortcut everything sat around waiting to have the right questions asked of the Inside spends time minking up hew excuses for right people. The federal government, not doing a proper job, the companies involved in the fiasco are keeping quiet. The federal government will, no doubt, point to all the money it has spent on re-searching areas it searched before. We now have a thorough knowledge of where the tank cars aren't. There has been no effort to try to ascertain from the people involved exactly what route the tug and barge took in the trip from Squamish to Powell River. It seems logical to us that the cars would be somewhere along the route. The best way to find this out, we feel now as we did a year ago, is with a full, public inquiry, something the federal government through the department of father can dall an inquiry, chose to argue with environmentalists, ignore inquiries from the general public, spend massive amounts of money on fruitless searches and re-searches and commission tests. The testing has some value; but is only one piece in this whole, sad jigsaw puzzle. Without the key pieces, we will never get any farther ahead than we were the. morning after the incident. Now, a year later, we are no farther. We call for, and will continue to call for a full, public investigation and inquiry. Much more delay and the fallibility of the human memory will play an even bigger part in obscuring the truth. . minutes' by Do n Mo rberg SOMETIME during his life, Algernon Charles Swineburne (1837 to 1909) wrote, "The hounds of spring are on winter's traces." What a lot of puppy droppings. How can anyone wax poetic about the end of winter when Mother Nature pulls a stunt like it did last week. Two inches of snow and civilization as we know it on the Sunshine Coast grinds to a halt. One too many hexagonal snow flakes and life itself goes into suspended animation for the duration. People forget how to drive. Highways crews forget where their trucks are parked. People fall off roads. A week or so ago, the weather was balmy. We were chuckling at California having the worst winter ever with snow and the whole routine. We must have been the ones who were balmy. One doesn't laugh at Mother Nature or she'll dump on your head. Dump she did. Snow. I was at the Sechelt and District Chamber of Commerce meeting Wednesday night, During dinner, the odd snowflake wandered down outside the window. We paid the '��� situation little notice. Later we were to learn that one doesn't ignore Mother Nature either? I guess she can't handle rejection. IT WAS LATE evening before I started home. It's a long enough drive from Sechelt to Granthams Landing. It was also late enough so there was no gas station open. I don't know how Mother Nature arranged that. I had Just under a quarter of a, tank, usually more tlian enough to get me home nnd back again. Usually. It started to snow quite heavily when I motored through Roberts ��reck and was still thicker as I passed Joe Road (or whatever tlicy call It this week.) AT THIS POINT I noarly rear-ended a llttlo red car who was managing eight miles an hour. Now Uie snow was bad but eight miles an hour wns silly. I passed him (or her) and discovered Hint the reason the driver's vision was impaired was that he or she was attempting to drive Into the snow with high beams on. Try It somo tlmo; you'll do eight miles an hour too. The frcczy skid stuff kept up for a while but I managed to arrive homo In ono piece. No major problems. Thoy were to be saved for Uio morning. REGUI.AR ns clockwork, morning rolled around on schedule. It was nelglng a little; but nothing to break out the parkas over. In order to get from where I live to anywhere else in the world, one must go up Granthams Hill. Each nnd every snowstorm Granthams Hill becomes our own little Grenoble ��� home of the Olympic Alpine Hill climb nnd everyone who Uvea down takes a run at going up. It's great. Someday I'll have gold, silver and brom.c medals minted, maybe set up my own lottery. , I inotarvntcd to the bottom of the hill, I hud Straight by Jock Bachop "I understand McGeer said, 'Cut your budget or sell your school.'." Street parkers get a. warning an eighth of a tank of gas, enough to get me to, at least, Charlie Mandelkau's gas station. I took my place in the line-up and waited for my run at the hill. Five were ahead of me. The first two made it. The third fish-taUed several times before topping the monster. The third whomped into the ditch on the side and stayed there. The fourth spun out Halfway up, got a push, spun out again, got pushed some more (by a man walking who was probably an official of some sort) and then made it. MY TURN. I pressed and released the accelerator, Sterling Clarkson style, and the engine died. The red idiot lights on the dashboard came on. I looked puzzled. I tried to start it ^without luck. The gas guage said I had an eighth of tank of gas. I tried again to start it. One soon bores of hearing a starter motor going r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-. So I rolled over to the side of the road and seat there for a while. THE SNOW GOT heavier about then. Cars began backing down the hill and it became apparent that the event would have to be called on account of snow and bad track conditions. I abandoned my helpless heap and went home to somewhere warm. AFTER LAYING plans for a nice hot breakfast, some hot coffee and maybe a hot bath, I watched in horror as tho lights went out. I looked at my helpless electric stove, electric coffee maker and listened to the electric motor on the furnace go out of commission. Freezing to death In my own home never crossed my mind even once. I WANDERED back to the snow heap which covered my car. A few moro attempts to get It started and I was rewarded with a dead battery. Some mornings you just want to expire. THE THOUGHT of my precious being out of gas did occur to mo: but I couldn't Imagine being lied to by my own gaa guage. Even If It was out of gas, without the power on, no gas station could make its pumps work so I couldn't get gas anywhere nnyhow. Klnda makes you wanna sniffle. I shuffled bnck to my ever-coldlng house. LATER THAT SAME MORNING the lights came back on, the furnace motor roared, tho radio camo on and the cat Just nbout had a cardiac arrest. I telephoned the outside world for help and it arrived In the form of a tow truck. My car luid lied to mo. There was less gas , In It than thoro la In the future of Syncrude, It was early afternoon by then. WlUi tho day already shot, one might as well write the whole thing off as a loss.

Whether in Britain, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand or Saskatchewan, the record of socialist ventures into business have proven costly to the taxpayer. The basic failure of any socialist venture wherever it takes place is that when a man works for government, there is no 'boss" to look over his shoulder. Needless to say, when government tries to run an industry, government plays with the taxpayers' money, not its own. Should government be faced with losses, it does not declare bankruptcy like any other businessman, it simply has the taxpayer foot the bill! One answer to Bill Bennett's quandary with ICBC and other failing ���rown Corporations might be for government to sell one or all of them to the NDP, That way, all B.C. socialists would have the opportunity to invest in themselves. If the NDP has faith in the insurance system as established by way of ICBC then'let's sell it to them and see how long they are able to operate. In the case of the ship they could go for a free ride.

There Is no reason why Uie ICBC cannot provide Insurance coverage cheaper Hum anyono else on n non-proft hasla. Or, on an equal profit basis to private Insurance, the profit would be traasfcrred to General Revenue, or placed In a reserve fund for future development.

Bob Brophy Nnnnlmo all concerned, all the on-street parking places in the business sections of Cowrie and Wharf must be made available to customers of the said businesses, and not a single one may be tied up by any employee or employer of any of the said business. There is more than enough parking for all these business people on and off Teredo and it is surely not too much to ask that they walk one block to their place of business. Council is making a last plea for cooperation in this respect. If such cooperation is not forthcoming, then the only alternative will be to post Cowrie and Wharf with one hour parking limits' and have offenders' vehicles towed away. If cooperation will be willingly given, we can save not only a lot of hurt feelings, but a fair amount of tax money which can be put to better use. Thos. W.Wood Village Clerk Sechelt Nothing but'.'f ' praises for dietary dept. The Editor, The Times, A/ .< Sir; Lately there have been letters pro and con in your paper about the dietary department of St. Mary's Hospital in Sechelt. I have several times been in hospital here at St. Mary's during which time my diet allowance was approximately 500 calories, less than one chocolate bar. What was done with that small allowance to make it balanced medically and nutritionally was amazing. The staff dietician's visits were very welcome and informative. Within my small amount of food, there were colorful, varied and appetizlngly arranged meals over my two week stays. Having been on tours of other hospital dietary departments and kitchen facilities, I realize what a tremendous task it is for the staff to deliver, on time, hot'meals hot, and cold meals cold, to themany patients. May I add that on the Peninsula there are times when supplies ordered do not arrive and I have personally seen the dietician trying to fill in the blanks so that the meals could go on as per usual. Nothing but praises for the hard working staff. Their helpfullness and understanding liave been great. L.Schuett, Sechelt.

Servinn the area from Port Mellon to Kgmonr \lf owe Sound toJeivis Inlet] By JOCK BACHOP Because of my being a temporary bachelor, shattering though the loss of his equipment was to Kelly, it did in a minor way effect me too. ��� ' \ I figured I would at least get a good lunch every day. However he is back in business and all is now well. I think everyone missed having coffee and conversation at the old stand in the mornings. It was a good place to pick up news and find out what was going on in the area. The adults were not the only ones to miss the ever cheerful atmosphere to be found there, the local kids missed him. Probably more than we adults. He was always good for credit or even freebies for the local youngsters. I read a bunch of letters recently that students of the Madeira Park Elementary School sent him when they heard of his misfortune. I think they are priceless. Here is a random sampling of them... . "Dear Kelly, , . "I appreciate what you have done for everybody in this community. I hope you get a hew truck, because you serve the best hamburgers I have ever tasted, and I have tasted a lot of hamburgers, and hotdogs, all the way from We to Mexico." CliveBenjafield.

Changing the subject, I notice both papers competing with the 'Times' are now being delivered free of charge to Peninsula residents. A thought that comes to mind (mind you I'm saying thjij tongue in cheek) is that if you have a product that doesn't sell, well then, you might as well give it away. So much for poking fun at the opposition. As of today I have six more days of purgatory before my better half arrives home. That is, if she hasn't succumbed to the exotic.charm of the Islands. Never again will I let her go for so long. At any rate I figure it will take her so long to get the house back into shape she won't be fit to travel anywhere for at least a year. Perhaps she wiU bring me home one of those gorgeous grass skirt dolls. (Would you believe a bottle of duty free booze?) Plea struck after sentence , After pleading guilty to driving while his driver's licence was under suspension and being sentenced to 30 days in jail, a Sechelt man asked Sechelt court to strike his plea and allow him to seek legal council. Marvin Craigen, 19, was stopped by police Feb. 7 and it was found his licence had bedn suspended because of an Oct. 1,1975 impaired driving conviction. He was prohibited from driving for six months. Craigen took the witness stand and pleaded guilty to driving while under suspension. He was without counsel. The judge sentenced him and he left the courtroom under custody. Later in the day, Craigen returned and asked Judge Ian Walker if his plea could be struck until he sought the, advice of a lawyer. Judge Walker complied with the request. In other court news, Judge Ian Walker told a 58 year-old furniture salesman from Delta to 'be careful when drinking with customers' after he pleaded guilty to impaired driving. The court was told Arnold Jones had been in Sechelt Jan. 12 on business and then in the evening drove to Halfmoon Bay seeking the, residence of a relative. Crown prosecutor Hugh McCaUum said RCMP found Jones sleeping in his stuck vehicle near Halfmoon Bay* He said Jones had tried to start his car when police arrived L H Prce. mm ..2 10 nil .0 10 5.3 .3 0 6.0 ,1 0 3.3 .-1 3 5.3 .-1 3 10.5 .-1 3 5.3 and then again tried to start his car with a spare ignition after a tow truck had attached a tow line to the car. He said police found Jones had a blood- alcohol reading of .21 per cent. Jones' counsel, Robert Reid told the court Jones had been drinking through the day with a Sechelt client. He said when Jones arrived later in the evening in Halfmoon Bay he found the highway had been altered by construction and he became lost. While turning around his car became stuck in the soft shoulder,he said. "People came along and said they would call a tow truck. Mr. Jones fell asleep while waiting for assistance."' ��� ��� '" "v Reid said Jones needed his vehicle in the course of his employment. Judge Walker strongly advised Jones against a repetition of this incident. "A repetition would result in a longer driving suspension that could damage your career.''

Steve Williams photo I f r ��� A .\ >. / i. i i Wednesday, March 3,1976 The Peninsula Times Page A-3 cars B By ADREANE MELVIN It's now been a year since four liquid chlorine tanks were lost in Malaspina Strait.. As yet, they have not been, located and there are no plans at this time to search on a scheduled basis, according to H. 0. Buchanan, Regional Director of the Canadian Coast Guard, Western. In a letter dated January 29, to C. M. "Sis" Wilcqcks, of the Powell River Anti-pollution Association^ Buchanan stated the area of search will be gradually expanded on a random basis should Department of Transport equipment be idle on occasions. Search of the Sinclair Bank area results were negative, he indicated. In the four-page letter to .Wilcocks, Buchanan explained methods of search employed thus far, carried out this summer and when two sonar-equipped vessels searched near Sinclair Bank from October 28 to November 2. At that time five possible areas indicating large objects were located. These objects, which it was thought could be the chlorine - tanks Or any large object, were to be checked , out by a submersible, the Pisces, this January. But Buchanan said the Pisces, which comes under the auspices of the Environment Department, is not available to the Department of Transport at the moment. Both departments cooperate, he said. 'NO GREAT THREAT' Buchanan said MoT has been advised the tanks pose "no great threat" pending results of tests the department is having done in Halifax. He said the situation might change, depending on what these tests show; "Future search plans are not firm but ~ assuming that the results from the Halifax tests indicate little or no hazard, it is unlikely that any sustained effort will be mounted. Rather, we will make the occasional search from time to time during equipment. idle time or when equipment requires testing," states the letter froithBjuchanan. He explained in Halifax, tests" are conducted in a chamber which can simulate conditions in Malaspina Strait. From data obtained, "we can make a calculated guess what would happen in Malaspina Strait should the chlorine escape from the tanks," he said. PRAPA and regional board members voiced concern this fall about the possibility of fittings on the tanks corroding with 340 tons of chlorine in the water as a result. Although the public had been told most of the gas would be dispersed by the sea if the tanks were in deep water, it was pointed out no contingency plans have been made by an MORE ABOUT... o Pulp union rollback ��� From Page A-l board yet and when they are ��� there could very well be a general strike across Canada." ' On the local level, he said the union is sending a letter to the area's federal MP Jack PearsaU to protest the rollback of what was a "poor settlement anyway." McPhedran said the company was stttl holding back retroactive pay pending the board's ruling on the contract which was agreed upon by company and union last September. "We are still working on the June , 1975 wage scale." As far as the anti-Inflation board is concerned, McPhedran said its ruling for a wage rollback means the end of collective bargaining. He said he expected this to be the case as long as the board was in existence. Bill Hughes, manager of Port Mellon, said Sunday the union's demand to have the value of the rollback put to charitable causes caught him by surprise. "It is a novel suggestion and one that would appear outside the normal sphere of collective bargaining." On the matter of community contribution Hughes said that the mill's $8 million payroll and a substantial sum in district taxes is a sizeable contribution to the community. He said he thought the rollback was likely not as severe as some union members were expecting. He added that a decision on whether export profits would be limited Is not clear. MORE ABOUT... m Secret Cove sewer ��� From Page A-l necessarily scrape the proposal but'tliat a lot of rc-flgurlng would have to be done, Wlion asked If the province would accept Uie proposal If It could serve more residents, McNevin said the system could not be expanded a great deal without encouraging further subdivisions In the area. "I don't think Secret Cove residents want anothor 200 to 300 people moving Into the area." Peter llocmbcrg, regional board director for Area B, Is particularly distressed about the province's decision. He said there appears to lie a policy change with the government. "It used to be Bill Oil was applied to a sewer project on a technical basis. If the proposal was technically alright, then It would be approved, "Now it appears the government Is making u new Interpretation of Uio legislation and has Interposed further requirements on how to get tho grant." Hoemberg agreed the province's decision could be an economy move but ho wondered If small areas In need of sewers would have to wait until the neighbouring environment was totally "messed up" before they could get a grant, lie said It appeared to him the province was moving away from supporting small , municipalities nnd concentrating Its funding on the linger ones, authority in. the district to handle a chlorine- related emergency, should one occur. Asked about the possibility of these fittings corroditig, Buchanan said, "It takes a long, long time ��� 20 years would be an intelligent guess." But tests by MoT led to the decision to test more extensively. "Our shallow water tests with chlorine indicated the formation of soluble crystals and some generation of heat. This led to a decision to make more extensive tests at Halifax," stated the letter. Residents will recall our railway tank cars i loaded with chlorine feU from a barge while being towed from Squamish to MacMillan Bloedel's pulp mill in Powell River last February. MacMillan Bloedel ownes the 340 tons of liquid chlorine, worth an estimated $500,000 and FMC Chemicals Ltd. is owner of the cars. "The questions of recovery of costs in part or in whole from either FMC or MB has been turned over to the Department of Justice," said the letter, but Buchanan said since chlorine is not named as a polluting substance in present legislation, nor is there any legislation covering the loss of objects in the water unless navigation is hindered, "our lawyers are not too hopeful." He indicated he has added a person to his staff who studies movement of potentially dangerous materials in coastal water. While Buchanan could not be specific as to what action the government might take, he expects regulations to be made covering identified gaps in present procedures. He then summarized last fall. A search was also made last summer. Sinclair Bank is located halfway between Texada Island and Hardy Island. "The October search cleared up an area of Sinclair Bank that had previously been swept with wide spaced lines. With wide spacing oyer an irregular surface, our. subsequent analysis indicated that it was just possible to have shadow areas large enough to hide a tank car. The tug master claimed not to have been near Sinclair Bank, but, in any case, it has now been checked with negative results," according to the letter. On 'October 28, 1975, Can-Dive Oceaneering Ltd. of North Vancouver operated from a chartered towboat, "Seaspan Daring," and used a side scan sonar. The second vessel involved was the survey launch "Jaeger," and both vessels were supplied with Motorola Mini Ranger systems. "Jaeger was to position precisely any targets that were located by side scan sonar, the towfish of which was towed at varying distances behind "Seaspan Daring." Targets, so positioned, could be visually identified by underwater television or submersible at a later date if required," Buchanan stated. "By the evening of November 2, the entire area had been swept in a north-south direction and approximately 30 per cent in an east- west direction had been completed," stated the letter. "Although 100 per cent coverage could not be claimed, the chances of all four separate targets, the size of tank care remaining undetected were deemed to be extremely . remote." He said while seven targets were located and five were examined and positioned by the Jaeger, all seven targets were discounted after close scrutiny, and no'.further examination is warranted. Can Plan Ocean Engineering in Halifax, where the Defence Research Board has a facility for pressure chamber tests have been contracted to answer the following questions: "Will release of heat because of the reaction of chlorine and water cause any of the liquid chlorine to gasify?" "If any gas is formed, what is the likelihood of it reaching the surface?" "What is the optimum rate at Which liquid chlorine can be allowed to leak from a container?" . "This will be determined by calculations, with experiments, to confirm results," said Buchanan. "Calculations will be based on knowledge of kinetics of reaction between chlorine and sea water, and fluid mechanics. Consideration will be given to marine flora and fauna tolerance to low concentration of chlorine." "When these data are available, we will again review what should bo done," said Buchanan. On February 18, he said the results of these tests had been expected back before now. Squaringly yours " ; BY MAURICE HEMSTREET Hello, dere, fellow square dancers and friends, wherever you are. Yup, I'm back for another go at trying to put words on paper . that I hope will make you sense, as you all know, I don't make mistrakes. I also had a lot of excuses as to why I have not been writing tins column. However,, being like the old cow's tail, I am away behind in my literary achievements. So I will now bring you up to date, as quick as I can, on the meanderings, or whatever, of the Country Stars square dance club, so pull up a chair and bend an ear, because when.you're hot, you're hot. Dec. 19, 1975 ��� The Christmas square dance party was a fantastic night with five sets on the floor and Harry Robertson and . myself going full out, call for call, and of course there was Uie usual exchange of gifts '. and terrific food was enjoyed by all. Dec. 31 (plus Jan. 1st. 1976), let's see, that was New Year's eve at St. Hilda's Hall, where we had over four sets on the floor, witii the hall beautifully decorated for the event, ,to give that certain atmosphere of the old year going out and the new year coming in, well, what can I say, with a great caller, the ladies outdoing themselves with their gourmet dishes at midnight (that's like better cooking than usual) and to enjoy the evening with us were guests Nell and Len Peace from West Van who were visiting the Blackstocks, Sally King from Roberts Creek, Sandra and Ron Tucker from Sooke, Van Island,.and last but definitely not least; my mother, Mary A. Hemstreet (better known to our square dancers, as fantastic Grandma Hemstreet) from Rocky Point Road, Metchosin, Van Island, B.C. Yes, she got a hold of my microphone and said, now, put on a dad- burned hoedown and I will show you how its done. Well, I did and she sure did give that group of square dancers something to remember. Anyhow, the whole evening was just great except that for the first time, our top caller, Harry Robertson was not with us and from all of The Country Stars, we missed you Harry. Better stay home next year although I had a tape of Harry's calling. WeU, that's another story I will save for next week. To top off the evening, we all got stopped in a road block, now everyone knows that square dancers don't drink. Jan. 9,1976. ��� First night of the second half of the square dance season was on its way with around four sets, with Harry back on the caller's dias, Jan. 16th ��� Three and a half sets swung their partners to Harry's superior calling while Graham Craig, chairman of the house committee of the Sunshine Coast Country Golf Club was present as our guest. Jan. 23rd ��� Another great evening with four sets on the floor, getting into calls like ferris wheel, hinge and trade, scoot back, recycle, yes even in square dancing we have to recycle the square dance calls, our guests, Rick and Fran Gamache from Quesnel, soon to be moving to.Montreal, they are the daughter and son in law of Peg and Marv Volen. Nice of you to ask, yes, we had a great time that night. Jan. 30th ������Can't remember what went on that night because it was Harry's birthday, don't tell anyone, but he is 'now thirty-nine (again) and Merril and Louise Bowes are leaving on a vacation to Hawaii, land of warm sandy beaches. Some people have all the luck, but as I remember, well, come to think of it, we have never had a bad evening of square dancing. Feb. 6th ��� This was a special evening as our guests were Audrey and Cliff Sangster. Cliff was the founder of Sangster Boat Works in 1930 and as far as I know the company still is going strong and we hope that they had a very nice time with our square dance group even though we were learning a lot of new calls and getting ready for a square dance jamboree, we thank you for coming. Well, my fellow square dancers, I have once again run out of time and space, but I will catch up all the way next week so be a friend, buy a Times and keep me happy, the best is yet to come, see you at the square dance. ���^|L��v:'t?:l'ns^e|||d; sWH6l&,��:drteiess1 t|fovZfjn^ Iv.SinT6i.n'fbr#Jubl^#.Gr}j Gov't Inspected Duncan Mines XJ all flavors 19 oz. pkg. iV Super-Valu 32 oz.

Well then, let's get busy selling those raffle tickets. There are still 100 books left in the office and Doreen would like to get them cleared out this week. We are coming into the first week in March and the draw is April 3 so this only gives us another month to get all the tickets sold. And please, remember'to turn your money in to the office as soon as you get a book sold, or if stubs get turned back to coaches, then coaches make sure you get the money in, and pick up more books for your kids to sell. You guys want the time clock then you have to do your bit, don't sit around waiting for the other guy to sell them. RENT PAID UP? Last week it was mentioned that our arena was not subsidized by anyone. So may I remind you who hasn't paid rent for Feb. to please do so, since hydro, telephone etc. don't wait for their payments, and staff salaries have to be paid too. This arena is not ninning on so large a profit that they can afford to give ice time away for free. SKATATHON With rising costs in everything, once again the arena is needing donations. Or rather I should say minor hockey and figure skating. A fun way of doing this, that involves the children themselves, is a skatathon. So get ready, kids, the pledge cards will be out soon so you will have to get out and start getting pledges: Skating around the rink and making so many laps in your alotted time should be great fun, and a good way to raise money. Other areas have held them and have raised $8,000 to $10,000. Adults too, go on out to your neighbours and get them to pledge money toward so many laps around the rink. Great exercise, nearly as good as jogging. We will also need volunteers to come out i and help with this project so keep April 10 in mind. ���-_'.. . - \ , Pemberton over the weekend, playing four games between them., Pender Junior Boys 25-Pemberton 49 Pender was up against a good well drilled defense that limited them to 45 shots and these not too accurate. Pemberton made better use of their chances with more accurate shooting. Pender played well in spots. Todd Mair led the scoring with 10 points. Pender Senior Boys 39-Pemberton 61 Pender was short of senior players with only five, of whom three were fouled out by the end of the game. They filled in with juniors, who played well but were short on height and experience. The boys had a good third quarter after a slow start. Mike Kammerel and Todd Mair shared scoring honours with eight points each. Pender Junior Boys 27*Howe Sound 68. Pender was outclassed in this one. They started well but faded in the second and third quarters, but put on a strong finish. Good defense held them to 41 shots. Todd Mair and Mark. Widsten were high scores with six apiece. Pender Senior Boys 26-Squamish 69 Here again the small senior squad, of whom four were finally fouled out, had to rely on the juniors for reinforcement. 'The team never quit and with more accurate shooting could have, been a lot closer. Squamish shooting by contrast was very accurate. Mike Kammerle had quite a game managing 17 points. Pender's teams got a lot of experience and never once let down despite the lopsided scores, working hard throughout. Mike , Kammerle had 25 points in his two games. Todd Mair had 24 points in four games and played well for both seniors and juniors. Pender girls have problems in tournament Pender Harbour girls had their problems in the recent Vancouver and District girls basketball tournament held at Elphinstone- recently. Their first game was against North Vancouver. Pender was nervous and ineffective in the first half and trailed 24-9. They got into the game for the second half, but lost 39-36. Valerie Reid shot for 12 points. ,. The game against Howe Sound on Friday was not a good one ��� unorganized and full of mistakes. Pender played well enough^ in patches to win 25-11. Valerie again top scorer with eight points. �� On Saturday Pender played their old nemesis Pemberton ��� they made their usual shaky start against Pemberton, who were not playing up to their usual form.' Pender got things together in the second half but too late to catch up, losing 42-21. Valerie once more top scorer with 10 points. In the three games, strong performances were put on by Sheila Scoular, Lynda Dubois, and Valerie Reid. Valerie finished with 30 points and played well on defence, missing selection for the Second All Star Team by one place. If Pender can .improve the accuracy of their shots they can do much better, Pender's team stayed on to root for Pemberton in their fourth game of the day which they finally lost and missed" their chance of going on to the Provincials. .

I have been asked to tell all those who are abusing the arena to show a bit of common sense when you are out to skate. If you've come out to skate, then skate, or else go home. If you want to speed skate then join a hockey team and do it there. Apparently it has become most unpleasant out on the ice due to a few people, and they are the same ones all the time. Maybe it is time a few parents came out and watched their kids knock others down and be completely obnoxious, or else see their kids get knocked down. Then maybe some of you would volunteer to help the ice patrol, who is getting pretty disgusted. Out on your ear may be the answer, but none of the volunteer crew want to take the responsibility of kicking out the bad ones. It sure is a shame, isn't it, when the arena was built for the enjoyment of everyone and public skating is terrorized by a few little monsters who abuse the privilege of being allowed to skate.

Apparently Al Serdluk of the Pontoons had threatened that if ho ever got a break away he'd be a real threat, and was bound to score. Woll last Friday he got his break, away and skated down the Ice, the puck went one way and Al the other. This called for a standing ovation from the crowd.

Their ship was the Santa Mariana, one of four liners owned by Prudential Cruises with their home base in San Francisco. , > V While other passengers came and went, the'Dolmages were among the few who 'boarded the ship in Vancouver and stayed 4 with it for Uie entire round trip. It was a 'join. anywhere, leave anywhere' trip and though 'the ship could accommodate 100 passengers, '������ sometimes there were as few as 50 aboard. Some passengers would disembark for several days of exploring or sightseeing and rejoin the ship at a later port of call. One passenger on the Dolmage's cruise ��� a not so young Englishwoman, disembarked at-a port on the1 east coast of South America, crossed the continent and joined up witii the cruise again on the west coast. The Santa Mariana stopped only at ports where there was freight to be loaded or unloaded. Southward bound, besides the large. containers of freight, there were huge consignments of apples and pears from British , Columbia and Washington. On the homeward journey, the ship carped a cargo of Colombian coffee, Brazilian nuts and Peruvian cocoa. Ports visited were San Francisco, Los Angeles and Manzanillo. Near the entrance to the Panama Canal, they made a stop at Panama City. With its oil , refining and steel rolling mill:, all blanketed by teeming rain, it was hardly an impressive sight. At Balboa in the canal zone there were a number of ships waiting for the passage through, tadudinga number of big tankers. To the Dolmages, the 50 mile journey through the canal was the most interesting and fascinating part of the whole trip and . they were lucky to have a perfect day for it. By means of the two.Miraflores locks and the Pedro Miguel Lock, the ship was lifted 54 feet, then continued through, the eight mile Gailiard Cut and island studded Tatun Lake before descending to sea level on the Atlantic side by way of the two Gatun locks. The trip throughout the day was through lush tropical vegetation. HISTORY A freight stop was made at Caragena, Colombia, a city witii a romantic history of pirates, conquistadores and ships laden with gold, in which English, French and Spanish ships were involved. There are narrow cobbled streets, beautiful Spanish-type houses and a 16th century fortress. Christmas Day was spent at Curacao, an island of the Dutch Antilles and the passengers were able to make a trip ashore to Willemstad, the only city of the island which they found to be a shopper's Paradise. They were charmed with its quaint Dutch architecture, its brightly painted houses and its immaculate cleanliness. Cruising down the Venezuelan coast, they made a stop at La Guaira, the port of Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. To get to Caracas they had the choice of a funicular railway or a taxi. The Dolmages decided on the taxi- which carried them oyer a good modern road up the steep coastal mountains to Caracas which has an elevation of 3,000 feet. It was not suprising in this oil rich country to find a fine modern city with skyscrapers, including a new luxurious Hilton Hotel. The passengers could visit a 17th century church with paintings by Rubens and Murillo, or shop for gold, pearls and exquisite handicrafts. ��� - * Leaving La Guaira, the Santa Mariana headed for the longest sea run of the cruise, the five day trip to Rio de Janeiro, crossing the equator with all the traditional ceremonies usually carried out on board ship. At daybreak one morning they arrived in the magnificent harbour of Rio de Janeiro, surrounded by rugged mountain peaks, some of which rise straight out of the water. A happy and lighthearted city, Rio has broad boulevards, mosaic sidewalks and miles of fine sandy beaches which are largely man-, made. The whole ship went ashore to a big night club where everything was done on a grand and spectacular scale. Handsome , carnival costumes complete with feathers and glittering spangles gave a Mardi Gras atmosphere to the occasion. MORE THEATRES Buenos Aires, which its residents call the Paris of South America, was the next port of call. A cosmopolitan city, it has more theatres than New York, more art galleries than Paris, beautiful parks and boulevards, restaurants for the epicure, sidewalk cafes and a sophisticated night life. At the southern tip of South America as the Santa Mariana entered the Strait of Magellan, passengers found themselves cruising in a white majestic world between . lofty snowcapped mountains and dazzling glaciers. Once more in the Pacific, they turned north and cruised along the coast of Chile, heading for Valparaiso, the next freight stop. After the glamour and grace of Rio and Buenos Aires, Valparaiso was a disappointment. It has a large English colony and an international flavour. There was freight to be taken pn at Cailao, which gave the passengers a chance to visit nearby Lima, the capital of Peru. It has some ~ interesting Inca ruins and a fascinating history of Inca civilizations and Spanish conquests.. : ' X'- EOTERTAINMENT .'"���-. "x '" In Ecaudpr, the ship visited the port of Guayaquil, where ethnic groups came aboard to entertain with their music and dancing and display their fine handicrafts. The last port of call in. South America was Buenaventura in Colombia, where a picturesque group of Indians came aboard and set up a display of their crafts around Uie ship's pool. The men had their hair tied, back in pigtails and the women, some of whom were strikingly beautiful, wore handsome embroidered dresses. Our travellers took a boat ride around the estuary and up the Aqua Dulce river to a village where the natives lived in grass shacks in the most primitive conditions.. Racially, the population of Buenaventura is made up of Spanish, Indians, negroes and mixed races. It was a very wonderful trip, say Bill and Mary Dolmage, who have brought back handicrafts from many of the interesting places they visited. They swam twice a day in the ship's pool and enjoyed the fine food and the courteous and friendly service given by the American crew. Perhaps most of all Bill enjoyed .the" many hours he spent on the Captain's bridge where he was always made welcome. . memo to advertisers Fatal acciden brings fine By LAURIE BEEMAN 'Teen Angel and the Rocking Rebels' wiU play at the school dance Mar. 5.

McCallum said when police arrived,and escorted Bothwell out of the beer parlour, Bothwell went back in and struck a hotel patron. Bothwell told the court the person he hit had been bad-mouthing him and his friends. He also said he "was tired of people wanting to fight with him, just because he had a record of fighting."

(Proverbs 25:11) One such is the word of appreciation. Think back to Uie times you have received it ��� perhaps as a total surprise. We have so many opportunities to encourage and help others by just a kindly word: "George, you really look sharp in that outfit!" "This is the best meal ever, Mary!"

When we do, the world's a wanner place to Uve and work in. ��� And, you know ��� it works two ways: Always it helps the one receiving it. And it leaves a good feeling in the heart of the giver.

Sechelt Notes ���by Peggy Connor Returning in time for winter Jack and Marg Anderson spent a couple of months in the summer climate of California. Left our Sunshine Coast Jan; 5 with stops at San Diego, Las Vegas, staying for a longer time at Palm Springs then up to Los Angeles. They met all kinds of people from the Peninsula: Ted and AnnKurluck, some ladies from Davis Bay and Walter Faulafer of Halfmoon Bay. Jack took part in a golf tournament with ladies from Roberts Creek at Desert Hot Springs. The weather was beautiful except for five days with rain, much appreciated by the local people there as it was the first moisture for six months. Back home to their new house on Wakefield Road, so even if their return was to snow it was to a cosy, warm house, albeit with the problems Uiat come with a new abode, like the drapes that still haven't arrived.

BYGUYSYMONDS Ever since those rather tough days in November the winter in this part of the world has been open, mild and of course somewhat wet. s So now we are coming face to face with another new season in the garden. Generally speaking the home vegetable garden is not a very big one and it follows that the smaller the area the more important it becomes*1'that full advantage be taken of every inch of productive space. This brings us to planning. It is not difficult and it is a smart idea to sit down and lay out a garden on paper. You set out areas to hold the permanent plantings like asparagus and rhubarb, note that the early potatoes may be followed by the late maturing cauliflower and brussell sprouts, .. radishes by lettuce and spinach by late beds with carrots following the broad beans ahd so on. But so many people writing on the actual layout of a garden complete with diagram seem to ignore Uie need for access to rows and for a working area between different beds. Experience shows that a garden can be so crammed full Uiat the operator has the greatest difficulty moving around and working in it without crushing some of the young growing stuff underfoot, besides the difficulty in cultivating and hoeing. So in your planning allow for working room and you will be glad you did. Undoubtedly many gardeners have been using the winter months to build up and care for the compost. Now they get their reward. The winter, rains have leached out a great deal of the nitrogen in the light soil we mostly have in these parts and the composted material gives ns the chance to replace it. Probably that is about all the natural organic fertilizer most of us have. Generally speaking most home gardens have to be content with the so called artificial .fertilizers. Some people will liave had the foresight to use the green manuring technique, which of course is the sowing of f aU rye or wheat in the late summer to be dug .in before readying the garden for planting the next spring. From experience this method can be very highly recommended provided that one thing is borne in mind. That is that the growing of greenstuff take something out of the soil that must be replaced. So green manuring means putting back a little extra nitrogen before seeding and for this a tight dressing of ammonium nitrate is the recommended treatment. In a previous 'Corner' it was pointed out that liming the garden should be done some weeks before fertilizing and planting, and so very soon now most of us will be buying our supply of fertilizers. The advice is when you are doing so talk to the people who sell it unless of course you are quite satisfied that you know enough about it without help. While all the commercial stuff is generally reliable and useful there are specific foods for specific uses. For instance, broadly speaking, green leaf vegetables like spinach and lettuce need heavier concentrations of nitrogen,, seed- producing plants like beans and peas respond to phosphorous while roots need potash.. Certainly that is something of a simplification < but' nonetheless useful to keep in mind. All fertilizers sold must carry a statement of the proportion of each of these elements in that order on the container ��� nitrogen, phosphorous, potash. The stuff is expensive to buy but very profitable if used properly, a little professional advice may save you dollars. So now even though at the time of writing, "winter lingering chills the lap of May," we see that we are to be,granted once more the privilege of taking part in the recurring miracle, recognizing our responsibility and respect for the few Inches of topsoil which is all that stands between mankind and extinction.

John McNevin gave notice of motion at Thursday's regional, board meeting to . reconsider the water policy adopted hy the board last year which said water rates throughout the district would be the same and that water systems would be self-liquidating. McNevin wants the matter reconsidered in an attempt to find some way to have water installed in the North Road area. Under present policy the 60 property owners in the North Road area would have an initial cost of $1500 apiece for the capital costs of a water system. < McNevin suggested that increasing land taxes in the area could be one alternative and this would allow the capital cost of the water system to be spread over a greater number of years. He estimated the land taxes in the area would increase to $292. "What I really want is serious discussion on alternative ways and means of providing water to small, more isolated areas. "It may work out that any alternative is an administrative ,. nightmare, but all possibilities should be explored." He considered a $1500 initial cost to North Road residents as too expensive. He said the residents make the point that they are in the Agricultural Land Freeze through no fault of their own and that consequently there is little chance for a larger population in the future. A larger population would, mean the capital costs of a water system could be spread over more people.

In a report to the board last week, Dave Nairn of Killick Metz Field Associates told, the board two-thirds of the steel structuring was up and the concrete work was undei budget. , Nairn said, "The main portion of the construction where the costs were not firmly controlled were already done.

Th6 ICBC increase hit school buses as well./ In a letter to the school board, George Hopkins of Sechelt School Bus Service said the ICBC increase meant an additional $2,022 in insurance coverage premium costs.

The board voted to give Hopkins 60 per cent of the increase now and the additional 40 per cent is to be incorporated into the 1976-77 contract on the recommendation of the board secretary. With the local 'rumour mill' chunung out stories that the Sunshine Coast's new health inspector is not particularly happy with the job and with the announced resignation of a Powell River health inspector, the regional district will attempt to join forces with the Powell River Regional District to present a common front to Victoria concerning additional inspectors in this health unit. A meeting is expected in March. . Since the Coast-Garibaldi Health Unit covers both the Peninsula and Powell River, the regional district felt another attempt to solve the overwork problem of health inspectors should come from both districts. The regional board moved such an approach to the problem at Thursday's meeting. At the meeting board chairman John, Mc- . Nevin said he "had heard" that the local health inspector was unhappy and thinking about leaving. John Mullineux, the health inspector based in Gibsons, is on holidays at the ^momentand couldriotbe reached for^com- ment. Also Keith Gibsons, an inspector based in Powell River, has announced his intentions to leave this summer. All levels of local government have asked the Department of Health to assign two inspectors to the Sunshine Coast for some time but have never had a positive answer. Previous inspectors on the coast have left due to overwork. After the meeting McNevin said he considered the work of health inspectors as a key to the whole progress of the Peninsula. He said there would be a possibility the board would approach the Powell River politicians with a recommendation which would see regional building inspectors taking on part of the health inspectors duties. "Even If building inspectors could only do part of the health inspections it would help. Our building inspector has a routine to cover the whole district and tins could help with . health inspections." . The regional board has instructed its chief building inspector to seek legal advice in the matter of the Elphinstone Aero Club violating district building by-laws. The aero club refused to pay a fine for not purchasing a building permit before commencing construction on their clubhouse. The club was willing to pay for the permit after the district said It neededbut it was not willing to pay the fine, A stop work order was placed on the clubhouse, but the club finished the clubhouse anyway. At Thursday's regional board meeting, Gibson's director .llm Metzler said'the club roperfy owners orm group Property owners In the Pender Hurhour area liavo banded together to form an association which they liope will bring them better representation when dealing with the regional board. The Area A Proporty Owners Association was formed at a meeting of property owners In Madeira Park Feb, 21 In h release, tho association said the objective of the ({roup Is to bring forth "stronger representation for Area A In all mutters which have up to now liccn satisfactory to property owners In this area, e.g., Ilylnws 00 nnd 103." By-laws 00 and 103 refer to tho land-use and subdivision bylaws which liavo licon given amended third reading by the regional iward and are now In Victoria awaiting' approval. KIcctcd officers of the association arc IJoyd Davla president, Hugh Carter vtce- prosldcnt, Yvonne Sullivan secretary and Ijirry Spam treasurer. was not aware It needed a permit before commencing construction and that he objected to a proposed recommendation for the district to begin prosecution of the club for the violation. "I think they acted In good faith -- they are still willing to pay for the permit," he said; Regional board chairman John McNevin said he didn't think anyone particularly wanted to prosecute the aero club but that tho district had to try and apply the law equally. Ho said the problem In this matter Is that the club violated a stop work order. In past weeks there have been varying reports, especially from the Ministry of Transport, over whether the regional board liad Jurisdiction nt the airport, Metzler said he had no doubts that the regional district hns jurisdiction at tho nlr- port but there seems to be some doubt about this at the Ministry of Traasport, lie suggested the building Inspector seek legal advice before there wns any prosecution of the nero club. The board agreed. It also adopted a rccommcdtntlon from its planning committee which states the district staff will proceed with the prosecution of offenders whenever violation of Regional District by-laws requires such action.

What a relief when you drink a cold glass of water and your thirst is quenched. Sometimes certain foods will cause one to be thirsty. After an enjoyable meal you find that you spend the next three or four hours trying to satisfy a thirst caused by something you ate. One day Jesus spoke with a woman at a well outside the city of Scyar. He had stopped there to rest after a long journey. The women had come to the well to draw some weather and in the course of the conversation Jesus told her He could give her water which would quency her thirst permanently. He said: "everyone who drinks this water (i.e. the well water) will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst." Never thirst? That's what He said. Of course you realize Jesus was speaking about one's spiritual thirst, which happens to be as real as physical thirst.i:,-. How long have you been going to the 'well" trying to satisfy an inner thirst? Probably for a long time and if you are like most of us mere have been different 'wells' in your search to relieve an inner need. But your quest can end today. Jesus has an abundant supply of this 'living water', as He called it. Furthermore He said: "the water I give you will become in you a spring of water f welling up to everlasting life." Whoever is thirsty, come on and drink of this 'living water*." World Day of Prayer The service observing the World Day of Prayer will be held in St. Hilda's Anglican Church in Sechelt on Friday, March 5, at 2 p.m.. The theme this year is 'Education for all of life', and the speaker will be Miss Ellen Douglas, a retired Baptist educator and missionary now residing in Gibsons. This service, sponsored by the Women's Inter-church Council of Canada, in interdenominational, and the various churches in the Sechelt area are participating. It is not meant for women only ��� everyone is welcome. There will be a social hour in the church hall following the service.

Aeration allows bacteria to break down the sewage faster and more efficiently. The sludge is then allowed to r - settle and removed from the clarified water. The water is then chlorinated and piped off to the sewage outfall and the sludge gathered and dried for use by the village as land fill. ���Timesphoto \h Grade 12 biology students from Elphinstone Secondary got a.close-to-home practical lesson in bacteriology last week. The students, along with instructor Dave Smethurts, toured the Gibsons Water Pollution Control Centre on Winn Road, in Gibsons. In two groups, the students toured the facility under the guidance of Ralph. Jones who manages the centre. The students had been studying bacteria in their classes ahd one of the major uses of bacteria is to break down and process sewage in plants like the Gibsons one. Jones showed the students where raw sewage entered the plant to be shredded and have the nonorganic solids settled out of it. The sewage is then pumped into the aeration tank where air is introduced into it to speed the biological breakdown. With the added oxygen from the air, bacteria are able to break down the sewage quicker and more eraoBogy ent tri| effectively than it would without air being .introduced. Jones showed where the treated sewage is separated and placed in a settling tank. The .clarified liquid is then chlorified and pumped off to the sewage outfall at Gospel Rock. The solids are collected from the bottom of the settling tank and set out. The plant manager showed the students side by side comparisons of the before and after product of the sewage plant which was opened in the fall of 1973. Jones said the plant has a capacity of 625,000 gallons per day and Is presently operating at 120,000 gpd. The capacity is equal to the demand of an area of 2,700 persons. ' ' The sewage is treated for 24 hours in the aeration tank, five hours In the clarlfier (settling tank) and an hour In the chlorinator where about five parts per million of chlorine are introduced. Eighty-five per cent of the suspended solids are removed in the process* THE MATERIAL which is pumped out the Gibsons sewer outfall at Gospel Rock is practically clear as shown by the container Ralph Jones is showing the members of an Elphinstone Biology 12 class. Jones, headman at the pollution control centre, acted as guide for the two classes who toured the Centre recently. Students were able to compare before the after samples side by side. ���Timesphoto * ��� Halfmoon Bay Happenings nETUM-BAPTIST CHURCH 8,H<>.7449 Mermaid and Trail, Sechelt Sunday School - 9:45 a.m. Morning Worship Service, 11:15 a,in.

(-v. "fr A f- A. A> ;^V .). Wednesday, March 3,1976 The Peninsula Times By MARY TTNKLEY From Sri Lanka (Ceylon) comes the first report from Joka Zuidema of life in that country where she is working on an exhange program organized by Canada World Youth. On the Sunshine Coast student's flight there,. she had the chance to take a look at Bombay during a ten hour transit stop before the final stage of, the journey to Colombo. Both in Bombay and Colombo, Joka was appalled by the poverty which she is finding difficult to accept. She is still haunted by the memory of beggars in the streets and dead cats, rats and filth in the gutters. From the formation camp at Columbo, her group was sent to the first phase of their project in the dry northern zone of the island, : which is considered to be the most backward part of the country; but so far, says Joka, she had seen no beggars such as she saw in Bombay and Colombo. It is a semi-desert region with grassy plains and stunted trees and it occurred to Joka that it would be the perfect setting for the documentary film 'The Untamed World.' The majority of the population of Sri Lanka are Sinhalese, but the northern section is inhabited by^ Tamils who came originally from India and who have an entirely different language and culture. The students must learn enough of both languages to make themselves understood in the different parts of the country. Conditions are most primitive and village life simple, with an everyday routine. The people_rj_se early to work in the fields. They rest during the hottest part of the day but return to the fields in the late afternoon. The Canada World Youth groups lived in the village council house which offered what is' probably the best accommodation the village had to offer. There was no electricity, no running water and the students drew water from the well for their bathing, and washed their own clothing by hand with the help of a bar of Sunlight soap. They shared the latrines with lizards and countless other creatures and toilet paper was apparently an undreamed of luxury. With time, says Joka, she was learning to accept these things as she accepted the snakes and scorpions. The group worked with the local people digging a well, making irrigation ditches, water-tanks and latrines. Their utensils consisted mainly of shovels and axes, with baskets to carry the dirt away. It was slow and back-breaking work cutting into the dry packed earth and filling the baskets which they balanced on their heads and carried to the dumping area. The young Canadians must often have remembers how these things were done in their own country, where a single piece of machinery could complete in a matter of hours tasks which would mean many days of hard toil for a number of people in Sri Lanka. On the narrow roads, there were no traffic signs and the driving was terrible. As the students were driven along the roads In two government jeeps, they would see monkeys scrambling hurriedly up into the safety of the trees. Joka was told there were wild pigs, deer and elephants around, but at the time of writing she hadn't seen any. Occasionally the group would be drive into the town of Mannar on the north-west coast, where the streets are lined with cloth shops, fruit stands and gem' and jewelery stores. The shopkeepers would use all their powers of persuasion to get the students to enter their shops and bargaining was an accepted prelude to a sale. In the town, the jeep horn was in constant use, warning people, cows, goats and chickens, which milled about in utter confusion, to get out of the way. ., This part of the coast is close to the mainland of India and is connected to it by a string of sandbanks and reefs known as 'Adam's Bridge', for according to the beliefs of the Mohammedans, it was to Ceylon that Adam and Eve fled when they were expelled. from the Garden of Eden. The Canadians visited some of the fishing villages which are scattered along this section of the coast. Out on the fishing grounds they could see the long narrow fishing boats, some with sails, and in the villages there were fish spread on mats of plaited grass drying in the sun. The grass mats are also used to make the simple shelters in which the people live. During February, Joka was expecting her group to be moved to the next phase of their project, a Muslim village. She will be returning to Canada in May.

Disney first thought of filming 'Treasure Island' in animation, but he finally realized that only flesh and blood actors could do the classic justice. He also decided to shoot it authentically, which meant going abroad for cast and locales. Robert Newton hooked the role of rascally Long John Silver, with Bobby Driscoil playing the cabin boy Jim Hawkins. Scenes were filmed in London and off the Cornish coast. The good ship Hispaniola, captured for a time by John Silver's crew* was a three-master built in 1887 altered and refitted for the picture. Following this is a film aimed at an entirely different audience. 'Linda Lovelace for President' opens Sunday night. The title is a bit misleading, for the film really bears no connection to Lovelace's * earlier, screen successes. It is only intended to be light comedy with no real emphasis on anything but fun, and those moviegoers who might be deterred by Lovelace's reputation have nothing to fear from this one.

Analyzed as being 70 per cent German, 20 per cent Hebrew and 10 per cent Slavic, Yiddish is spoken mostly by Jews of eastern Europe, so many of whom perished during the Second World War. In the U.S., Canada, the USSR and other countries with large Jewish populations, the language faces extinction through assimilation into the dominant cultures. Even in Israel it is. secondary to Hebrew, the national language. The program looks at the little known story of Birobidzhan, a province the Soviet Union created in the 1920's as a national homeland of the Jews, with Yiddish as the national language.

The mind has gone beyond the experience of thought and is left by itself in the state of pure consciousness. This experience of total unemotional freedom permeates our whole being and is found radiating all positive qualities in activity. This is the value of TM, the infusion of pure consciousness in all activity. Consciousness that is not swayed by circumstances or situations, but rather a style of functioning mat maintains orderliness and stability in all situations and under all circumstances. A person whose awareness is functioning from the finer levels of experience of perception has the fortunate ability to intuitively see into the reality of any situation and thereby not get caught up or involved in the confusion and ignorance of others. Pure consciousness is a level of life that is free from all suffering. The effortless experience of bringing light to a darkened room give us Uie freedom of not bumping into the objects in the room and thereby not causing confusion and frustration. Just as the mind is experiencing expanded awareness it to has Uie freedom of full unobstructed perception and thereby the ability of greater comprehension and enjoyment of the situation. Situations will always remain difficult and confusing when a person's awareness is bound, and cluttered, will forever be at the mercy of circumstances, and darkness of vision. It is possible for every individual to enjoy the fruits of expanded awareness, and thereby creating a society free from all suffering for onco and for good, all that is necessary is a few minutes spent a day practising TM quietly and effortlessly in a comfortable chair experiencing and tapping Uie source of puro consciousness.

Donations an move to save By ALLAN CRANE There was a gratifying response to the film society's financial plight with over $100 in donations being received,'and an audience of 134 including several new members for 'The Fifth Horseman Is Fear' giving a surplus of approximately $100 to accrue to the society's account. We are now solvent, but the audience attendance needed to cover the expenses of screening our films, most of which have to be brought in specially from the East, remains at 90. By the time this goes to press, the emergency meeting of the society will have been held, and it's quite probable that a benefit concert and-or dance will have been planned. Although there are now 287 members, it seems unlikely that on an average even one third of the membership will come to the films. Other items to be discussed at the meeting are other fund- raising activities including increases in the admission prices and-or the membership fees, and possibly reducing the number of films shown by screening bi-weekly rather than every week. I intend to report on the meeting in next week's paper. Screening four foreign films con- , secutively might not be such a good idea from the point of view of box-office attendance, but it seems to me that a retrospective devoted to one director such as the series of four of Bunuel's films commencing tonight is the stuff of which film festivals "and film societies are made. . I heard today from New Cinema Enterprises in Toronto to the effect that the rights to 'Un Chien Andalou' are still being negotiated, so it will not after all be possible to screen this witii 'El', but a screening remains a future possibility. No serious student or devotee of film would argue against the inclusion of Luis Bunuel's name among film artists of the first magnitude. Previous Film Society programs have included two of his films, 'Viridiana' and 'Belle De Jour', the former (1961) being one of the last Spanish films this expatriate Spaniard made in Mexico while the latter was the second film he made in his adopted domicile, France. Our series commences tonight with an earlier film from his Mexican period, 'El' or 'This Grand Passion' (1952), in which Bunuel's anti-clericism is at its most virulent. In his later French films, Bunuel's anti- religious fervour seems to have mellowed to the point where he has become "a majestic light prankster" as Pauline Kael puts it in her review -of 'The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeousie', a film which'played at the Twilight Theatre three or four years ago and which is certainly among the funniest and best made films I have every seen. I although thought Fifth Horseman Is Fear' was among the best made films I have ever seen, but I know that some people found it depressing. They will most assuredly not find such feelings to be the case for' 'Discreet Charm'. On the other hand, I heard many favourable comments . for ,\r the Chechoslovakian f Urn, one member saying it was the best film she had ever seen while another described it as flawless. Technically, 'El* is Bunuel's most elaborate film, blending fantasy and reality to construct a terrifying portrait of a disordered mind. The church sequence near the end is dazzling in its observatin of the priest, choir and congregation both as they are and as they appear to Francisco, grimacing and mocking him. Other moments gain their potency from an apparently calm and straightforward observation, which documents thejr full impact of mental disorder with a rational eye. I should point out that the distributors have informed me that this film has been damaged in two reels with little holes,' but they assure me that it has played elsewhere in Canada without problems and that the effects on the picture while these reels are playing is not unduly disturbing. This is the only print in Canada, so there is no way in which a perfect print could be shown.

(From The Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia). A contribution of up to $1,000 deposited with a trust company on or before March 1, 1976 for your Registered Home Ownership Savings Plan (RHOSP) can be deducted in computing your .taxable income for 1975 if you qualify and are a Canadian resident, 18 years of age. or more. To qualify for the deduction you must not have owned at any time during 1975 a home or other residential property in Canada, any part of which was inhabited by you or anyone else at any time,during the year. If you .wish to start a new plan before March 1,1976 you will not be able to do so if you have already purchased an interest in a home or a residential property since December 31,1975. Ownership in this context refers to both single and joint tenancy. Although you may contribute no more than $1000 per annum, you may contribute up to. $10,000 in your lifetime, deductible while you still qualify. If both husband and wife qualify, then each may contribute up to $10,000 in this way. While the funds are in the plan the interest earned on them is not subject to tax, but when withdrawn both capital and interest will be added to your income unless spent on specified items in the year of the withdrawal or within sixty days. If only part of the funds withdrawn are spent, then the balance only is taxable. Just one withdrawal is permitted as you will only be allowed one RHOSP plan during your lifetime. Therefore, it is important that you choose the most beneficial RHOSP plan before making your initial contribution. The specified items which may be purchased with the withdrawn funds are:��� 1. An owner-occupied home (including a condominium unit), whether owned solely or jointly; 2. Furnishings for your or your spouse's owner-occupied home. Furnishings include drapes, carpets, furniture and appliances but not outdoor furniture ancf equipment nor such items as works of art, rare books and jewellery. . - ��� Income tax on the withdrawn funds may be deferred if the funds are:��� 1, Transferred either in whole or in part into, a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP); ' 2. Purchase an income-averaging annuity. When.you file your tax return in a year. when you have withdrawn funds and made specified purchases you must submit a "T-l RHOSP Disbursement Certificate','. (Form available at the District Taxation Office) A final note of warning ���any interest which you pay on money borrowed to pay un)o such a plan is not deductible. If you have both a RHOSP and a RRSP you should ensure that you use your own money to pay into the RHOSP and use any borrowed funds for the RRSP contributions, which will then permit you to deduct? the interest. 20 years of helping hearts Heart Fund.

The regional board has not yet taken a stand on recommendations for improvements to the B.C. Ferry system serving the Sunshine Coast. During the board's Feb. 19 planning committee meeting the regional planner's ' report on the ferry service induced lengthy discussion on the topic but a consensus was not. reached, according to the meeting's minutes. The planner's report, which has not been made public, recommended the "economic rationalization of the service" or how to make the ferry system pay for itself. The one way to do this is up the ferry rates. Planner Adrian StottS report recommended the introduction of season tickets for Sunshine Coast residents who make regular use of the ferries and the introduction of multiple classes of fares based on expected waiting time. The summary of the meeting said the following points were made by committee members. ��� ferries are necessary for all living in this region ��� should. (can) equal good service vbe provided to all types of user? ��� should the ferries be just another government subsidized operation? ��� people should pay for what they get , ��� the tranport of people, rather than vehicles should be encouraged ���the catering is a farce, vending machines would be better and cheaper ���a night run for trucks was suggested, but this would increase the cost of merchandise on the coast ���an alternate freight service was endorsed. The committee, which is made up of regional board members, will give further thought to the matter, the minutes said. will require a new license valid for five years,". Pearsall continued, but he said because of the nature of this bill, it cannot be implemented immediately. "The implementation of the measures relating to the licensing of possessors of long guns will take time and the government expects they will be phased in over a three-' year period," he said. ' - "Broad avenues of appeal will be provided if a citjzen feels he or she has been unjustly refused a license or permit or if he or her license or permit has been revoked, Pearsall said. The. controversy on whether to abolish capital punishment to those convicted of murder has given birth to a bill where those convicted of first, degree murder would be sentenced to 25 years imprisonment before being eligible for parole. This would include those convicted for the murder of police officers, penitentiary guards, hijacking, kidnaping, rape and indecent assault as well as planned or deliberated murder. - For second degree murder, manslaughter or crimes of passion, those convicted would be eligible for parole only after 10 years, Pearsall explained. \ "However, the judge may, after seeking- advice from a jury, increase that up to 25 years," said Pearsall, speaking about the second degree sentence. There are, however, provisions for review^ for parole eligibility by three Superior Court justices after a defendant has served 15 years, said Pearsall. For this reason, he said he sees no great difference between present parole practices and those stated on Uie new bill. He said this possibility of parole review after 15 years applied to all first degree and also, to second degree sentences' where eligibility has been "bumped up." "For instand, a sentence for murder in the first degree could be 25 years, but this parole group could effect immediate parole after 15 year," said Pearsall. He indicated at the present time, parole review takes place after approximately one- third of a sentence has been served, depen ding on the nature of the murder. -,.*. On the vessel Prince George, Pearsall said at 230 tons, it has no freight capacity, and he said if this vessel is to be used only for a cruise ship to Prince Rupert north, he has to concur with Jack-Davis for two reasons; "The first is cost, and the second, there are not suitable docks until you reach Prince Rupert," Pearsall said.

Barbara 1 Clapham and Rosina Hastings from the ��� Gibsons group were the two others presented ��with Canada Cords.

' Building values for January 1975 were $1,118,500 and this January the total, values for new buUdings were $322,000.

Some are more dedicated in sports, work or hobbies than are others. The same applies to flying, which can easily be a hobby, sport or source of income. In flying, the hobby, there are certainly degress of time and money spent by recreational flyers indulging in their airborne fantacies; but it would seem the ultimate in dedication to the hobby resides with the few that build and fly their own machines.' Perhaps the ultimate satisfaction in flying is also theirs. Imaging sitting in your homebuilt craft with engine idling, on the end of the runway, ready to take off. Airfoils are trimmed, the throttle is then pushed to the firewall and the plane starts to roll down the runway, picking up speed. Just as you become airborne you look out at the vibrating wing and you realize it is your own craftmanship that is about to keep you safely aloft That is no time to have second thoughts about the quality of workmanship in the airplane. And, possibly surprising to some, few flyers of their own ���homebuilts'do. As Norman Hbffar, a Wilson Creek resident and one of nine Peninsula residents building their own planes, says, the care and quality of workmanship and materials that go into homebuilts are often superior to the plane produced on an assembly line. "There is nothing like flying a plane you have built yourself," he says. Norm has put six months work into his two seat Coot Amphibian and he is nearing completion of one wing. It is almost painful to empathize with spending the hours" he has, attending to meticulous detail prescribed in the MoT approved construction plans and specifications. "You just work away at one piece at a time and before you know it there are enough pieces for a wing or fuselage. You can't spend too much time thinking about the finished product, you'd go a bit squlrrelly if you did." Some public has attached an unsavoury stigma to the soudness of mind of the pilots who have no qualms about flying, and even doing aerobatics, in their homebuilt planes. "Masochists", they say, or, "you wouldn't catch me dead in a homebuilt." Well, it is certainly not an attitude based on fact. You merely have to look at the patience and quality of craft that goes into these machines. But if doubt still persists it might be comforting to know Ministry of Transport officials regularly inspect homebuilt aircraft in various stages of assemblage. Take Jim Postethwaite and his Star- duster Too which he is building in his shop behind his Roberts Creek home. Jim has' been working on this two seat, sport biplane for some time and it has been inspected by the MoT twice. He said the MoT Inspector considered the quality of welding that has gone into the fuselage as being second to no factory built plane. The MoT will inspect homebuilts at least twice and often more times before completion, depending on how often they are in the area. To aid this small nucleous of 'homebuilders' and others interested in doing the same, the group is forming a local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association. An association with over 45,000 members in the United States and Canada, it encourages and aids in the scientific research for the Improvement and better understanding of aeronautics. There are 36 chapters of the association in Canada, seven in B.C. including the Peninsula Chapter. The first constitutional meeting of the Chapter will be held in March and Norm Hotter, interim secretary of the group, says, 15 people have already expressed serious interest. He says he would like to see the membership climb to 25. Anyone interested can contact him at this Wilson Creek residence. Norm explains that the EAA forms a 'powerful lobby in the promotion and better understanding of homebuilder's problems and the problems in sport aviation, particularly in matters concerning safety. "It keeps a check on proposed legislation that might be harmful to general or sport aviation. For instance some new regulations may pertain more specifically to large aircraft and unnecessarily infringe on the freedom of the 'homebuilder'. Costs might become unreasonable." Although 'homebuilders' are leery about guessing at the amount and value of the time they put into their craft (they talk in terms of months) money saved over the purchase price of a new airplane is a factor. Bob Haslam, also a Wilson Creek resident, has his fully aerobatic Steen Skybolt well under way. He estimates the cost of materials for his machine to run in the neighbourhood of $7,000 to $8,000. That is significantly less than the price of a similar aircraft, if it could be found. He started work on the Skybolt last August and hopes to have it doing barrel rolls at 3000 feet by summer 1977. Hottar's amphibian aircraft will cost much less than the $45,000 price for a fourseater amphibian of the same basic design. His craft when finished will be powered by an engine in the neighbourhood of 180 h.p. and will leave the water in eight to ten seconds and leave the land in about 400 feet, depending on the strength of the wind. With the EAA Norm says the group will have access to a lot of technical advice. "We'll get help for construction through its publications and it also sends out technical bulletins regarding construction methods. The EAA also holds the largest annual fly-in for homebuilt aircraft in the world for homebuilt and antique aircraft at an airport in Wisconsin. Eyeing the wing of the plane that will eventually'force himto knock a hole out of his basement wall and built sliding glass doors to replace the opening, Norm says he hopes to make the fly-in one year after he is finished. For the benefit of those who think 'homebuilts' are constructed from baling wire Norm makes a (few clarifications. All materials whether it be wood, metal or fibreglass are certified aircraft quality, he says. The cost of materials reflects this regulation. African mahogany plywood which Norm is using in wing webs is $1.30 square foot and the clear spruce used for spars and cap strips is $3 a board foot. Another advantage to 'homebuilts' is that the building is allowed by the MoT to do most of his own maintenance. Most factory built craft must be serviced by licenced mechanics and licenced servicing is expensive. Many of the Peninsula's 'homebuilders' are also members of the Aero Club and of course the recent paving of the Sechelt- Gibsons airport is a terrific bonus to this group. Norm says the paved runway is great. "Especially for fabric covered planes (which most 'homebuilts' are). There will be less chance of a stone being hurdled by prop wash through the fabric. Also the airport will be more appealing for flyers wishing to visit the Sunshine Coast." Once a homebuilt is completed it is generally test flown by a pilot familiar with the particular type of aircraft. After satisfactory test flights the homebuilt must then be flown for its first 50 hours in the air without passengers. Most homebuilts are one or two seaters because MoT regulations stipulate they must not have an all-up gross weight of more than 1950 pounds. For those interested, the other Peninsula craftsmen building airpolane are Robert Carey who is building a Maranda AMF S-14 bi-plane, Robert Andrews, who is the chapter's interim president, has a SE-5 bi-plane replica of a WW 1 fighter underway, Ross McQuitty is building a Zenith monoplane, Harold and; Len Wray are also building an SE-5, Steve Pajor has a Benson gyro-copter and Bill Thompson has a Smith mini-plane underway. Gene Hogan has a factory built Fleet Canuck. ow they'll eweiitualiy look , 1< v \ - ! , f * <��� �� ,' * ' ft Kt ><, * < "StardusterToo" ���"���V xaX Mm \n M>v��n Mi" ,,,,rilX^X ., "Steen Skybolt" ., ���f., _.,, ..r��,���.,,,,,_ IT DOESN'T look Hko much of a plane now, but Jim Postlethwnlte's Stnrdustcr Too will one dny carry him aloft.
