A local citizens group is demanding the resignation of Sechelt Alderman Frank Leitner on both "moral and ethical grounds," charging Leitner deliberately lied to them when they questioned him on the airport lease about to be finalized between the Elphinstone Aero Club and the villages of Gibsons and Sechelt. Citizens Against the Rape of the Environment (CARE), who have been campaigning against noisy aircraft overflying the peninsula, say they will seek a government inquiry of the incident, which occured at the September 7 Sechelt council meeting, if Leitner does not voluntarily resign. During the meeting, at which CARE asked the aldermen to reconsider the terms of the lease, Leitner, who is the Sechelt representative on the joint village airport committee, told the group no further changes could be made to the agreement as the document had aready been signed. Mayor Harold Nelson, who will sign the lease for the village, was not at the Wednesday council meeting, and Leitner's Storm dumps hail and rain on Peninsula A late summer storm last Wednesday afternoon howled through Gibsons with wind gusting to 50 m.p.h. (80 km), dumped hail and % inch of rain on Sechelt and left the Pender Harbour area virtually untouched. According to CBC weatherman John Paschold, the unexpected tempest may have been partially caused by the fierce heat from Nanaimo's oil refinery fire, directly across the Strait of Georgia from the peninsula. In Sechelt, which took the, brunt of the weatherman's, wrath, a brief wind preceeded % inch (19 mm) of rain and large hailstones that turned the ground white. Flooded village streets forced pedestrians to take cover as thunder and lightening moved in overhead. Vehicle traffic came to a halt several times during the hour-long storm as visibility was reduced to near-zero. Overflowing drains turned Cowrie, Wharf and Dolphin streets into lagoons. Power was out in West Sechelt for 20 minutes due to transferrer damage. A large tv*>a. fell onto.teleph��<i(ft<:.k.~ alons Highway 101 at Wilson Creek but did not affect phone service. A lightening'strike started a small fire on Mt. Elphinstone. While Gibsons was spared the hail and most of the rain (receiving .17 of an inch or 4.3 mm in 24 hours), ?h easterly wind gusting from 35 to 50 mph brought down trees and forced two boats to radio for marine assistance. Both vessels were quickly rescued. A tree that crashed through Hydro wires near Peninsula Transport caused some traffic delay but power was not interrupted. Other trees came down behind the Legion building and along Pell Road. The storm bypassed Pender Harbour almost completely. According to a spokeswoman for the local ranger station, there was "a trace of rain" in the area but no wind or hail. She said clouds surrounded the moutains in the upper peninsula region and lightening could be seen moving down the valleys. After exhausting most of its strength on the Sunshine Coast, the storm then moved across Howe Sound where it subjected the I-ower Mainland to high winds, rain and hail. 'Hard line'due on teachers' pay In response to a question from Sechelt Teachers' Association President Doris Fuller, School Board President Celia Fisher and District Secretary-Treasurer Roy Mills ench acknowledged last Thursday tliat tlie province apparently intends to take a hard line with upcoming teacher salary negotiations. At the board's first meeting of the school yenr last week, Fuller told trustees, "There have been several rumours around the province Uiat school boards have received a communication from (Minister of Education Patrick) McGeer that thoy are to offer zero for pay Increases and that lf this Is not adhered to that class sizes will be increased. "Is this true?" Fuller asked. "In effect, I think so," Fisher replied. Mills said tliat McGeer "apparently said this to Uie executive of the BCSTA (British Columbia School Trustees Association). But he has not written to Individual boards. We havo received nothing saying that this should be our approach." Fuller later deplored the Idea tliat any pay Increase for teachers "should be taken out on the children." In other board action, trustees decided lo defer until their next meeting a decision on whether to proceed with a planned expansion of Madeira Park Elementary. According to .Mills, the need for additional classroom space Is now borderline at the school, nnd another two weeks mny give a IxHter Indication of whether enrolment Is likely to rise or fall. statement took other councU members by surprise. When questioned the next day by reporters and members of CARE, Village Clerk Tom Wood, who had not corrected Leitner the evening before, said Sechelt had still to ratify the lease. In fact, said Wood, the agreement was in transit via registered mail from the village of Gibsons where Mayor Larry Labonte had signed it the night of September 6. On Thursday afternoon CARE issued a ^press release on Leitner's action. It stated: "We feel that such conduct from an elected representative is beneath that which we are entitled to expect from a councillor and we would ask that Alderman Leitner resign. Conversely, we ask that council demand his resignation." Originally, eight members of CARE went to the Sechelt meeting in an attempt to have the lease with the aero club renegotiated. The group wants a landing-, fee charged for the use of the runway to stop "frivolous" flights and a written committment from club members to stop flying over populated areas. CARE also disputes the intention of the two villages to rent 65,000 square feet of clubhouse, hangar, parking and storage space to the club for the next 20 years at an annual rent bf $1. CARE argues that in two decades the Field Road airport could well be a major facility on the Lower Mainland but the lease "means that the airport would be out of the control of our elected representatives." Acting Mayor Morgan Thompson suggested CARE was "getting a few things confused here." Leasing \Vz acres of ground to the aero club was not, he said, "going to stop the flights going over." Nor, he added, would the club have jurisdiction over the runway "which is controlled by a federal body (The Ministry of Transport)." In rebuttal, CARE spokesman Charles Lee said that in return for a $1 annual rent the council had a responsibility to place conditions on the activities of club members. These duties, he continued, should be spelled out in the lease, "which is now far too vague." The lease, replied Thompson, was merely a formalization of a working agreement that has existed for years between the villages and the aero club. Under the terms of the lease, club members will continue to be responsible for the upkeep of the airport, something, Thompson added, "that will benefit everyone, not just the aero club." Leitner was then asked by Alderwoman Joyce Kolibas if the airport was used by non-aero club members. . "As far aS flights go it's none, .'*__tSner replied, but tLnensaiffflying student^wh^ ���>,' learnon little (Cessna) 150's" an<|tp_$ta<ohM; "cross-country runs'' also land and take off from the local airfield./* Leitner next told CARE that the airport is entirely self-supporting. "There's been no tax dollars for some time," He also said the $200,000 cost of paving the runway had been reduced by half because of volunteer labour from aero club members. Thompson, in apparent contradiction of Leitner, said that Gibsons, and Sechelt have in the past contributed varying grants to the airport "from a high of $1,000 to some years virtually nothing." The 1977 village of Gibsons budget includes $500 for the airport. "Dollar for dollar the village (Sechelt) comes out looking very sweet," Thompson informed CARE and then asked Lee just what it was the group wanted changed. Lee answered that his group wanted a "debate with the authors" of the lease. In a .written brief CARE had earlier suddenly broke in saying, "I .don't recommend that at all." The lease he said had "absolutely nothing" to do with the runway and therefore couldn't be used to control aircraft noise. "I stand firmly on it. The lease stays the way it is," the alderman told the crowded council chamber, "that's all there is to it." "Am I to understand you will not take any further submissions" asked a startled Lee.. "I'm afraid we have to go along with Frank. He's our airport committee representative," said Thompson. "Anything more dictatorial and abrasive I cannot imagine," fumed Lee, who said the details of the lease had been negotiated in private and "personally I find that repugnant." Thompson countered this argument saying the lease had been discussed in open council. But CARE member Jack Pope told the aldermen that "the onus is on council" to make the public aware of the details of "such a lengthy agreement. "There was absolutely no opportunity to have any input into the lease. I feel if this lease is. ratified by council this eninsula Itmeb Serving the Sunshine Coast, (Howe Sound to Jervtf Wilson Creek.

Wednesday, September 14,1977 Court procedure draws criticism By KERRA LOCKHART A UBC law student who spent the summer working as a special constable in the Sechelt detachment has criticized the way court cases are handled by the regional crown prosecutor assigned to the Sunshine Coast. According to Ron Usher, 26, the local police are becoming increasingly discouraged with the number of criminal charges out of court "Because of Inadequate prosecution." ' Prosecutors are assigned to the Sechelt court by the regional crown counsel's office in Vancouver and usually they visit the peninsula only once a week, on Weshesdays. . The local turnover in prosecutors is high, with Hugh McCallum, now in private practice, holding the job for the first part of the year with the occasional help of his partner, Peter Minten. Lately, the job belonged to Robert Gourlay, but as he is now on holiday the work is once again being done by McCallum. This inconsistency, says Usher is causing problems for the police "who will put lots of work into a case and then see it fall apart" because of poor prosecution. ; "He (Gourlay) copies up here Wednesday, has the file thrown at him and goes into court without having had the tim$ to properly prepare or even ( thoroughly interview a witness," Usher 4 "-"'Usher says the basic problem doesn't really lie with the individual prosecutor but "just with the way the prosecution works in Sechelt." Past mistakes, he said, have led the RCMP to assign a senior constable to review all files before they come to court. Questioned last week, McCallum was quick to defend Gourlay but said prosecutors have more pressing cases to handle than those coming up in Sechelt. A lawyer who spends several days a week in Vancouver's Supreme or County courts has higher priorities than many of the Sunshine Coast cases "even if they seem important locally," McCallum said. Although Usher believes there are an adequate number of RCMP assigned to the Peninsula, he says manpower is lost because officers "have to sit through court each week, serve civil summons and escort prisoners. It ties up police time." A local sheriff could take over most of ���See page A-3 questioned the expertise of the joint airport committee (comprised of Leitner and Gibsons Aldorman Jim Metzler) to negotiate the agreement. Replied Thompson, "If you feel the lease is inadequate you bring to us what you feel should be in the lease. We can't do ariythlng until we have further submissions." I_* said CARE would accept Thompson's compromise and return.with their proposals at the council's "convenience." With the matter apparently settled, Thompson was moving on to the next item of business on the agenda wlien Ixsltncr School board seeking name for new school The school district Is seeking suggestion* for a name for the new elementary school on Chaster Road near Gibsons.

By DENNIS FITZGERALD Remember your first day of Grade One, ��� the beginning of the long march? Remember how small you felt among all the "big kids" In the upper grades? Remember coming home after school disappointed that you hadn't learned to read yet? If you're like us, those memories arc being shredded into smaller pieces every year, becoming a little fuzzier, a little more Incomplete as they grow older. Consequently, we asked I���tty Talcnto's Grade One students at Madeira Park Elementary to give us a refresher course in what it's like to enter the first grade, Some stories ure chillingly fumlliar. "The first dny of school my button broke off my pants, and I hnd to keep pulling up my pants," confessed Brian Lee. "Some of tlie kids laughed at mc." We predict that buttons ond zippers will continue to malfunction as long us Uiere are small children to be embarrassed. Another problem Dial's unchunged Is how to get along with the big kids. "The big kids call mo names," soys Nicole Dubois. "They're always telling us to 'bug off.' They're always teasing us." Names may hurt u little, but Lisa Haddock suys Rodney I^ee got punched In Uie forhend on his first dny of school. "Yeah, 1 did," says Rodney. "But Uien me and Amy pushed him down. The big kids try to make us beat up other kids. They like to watch. We don't like It, do we, Usa? We hate lt." Lisa agrees, "We hate It." If fighting or not fighting is a dilemma, however, lovo In -Grade One ls an even more complicated question, with a contemporary solution when things don't work out. The Madeira Park first graders ure busy reassembling the pieces of kin dergarten romances interrupted, by summer vacaUon. Lisa's got it all straight: "Brian and Marcy loved first, then they broke up. Brenda only liked Kevin. But Kevin didn't like her. They had a divorce. Kathy and Rodney were in love, but they had a divorce, too." Kevin interrupts, "No, Brenda just loved me, but I didn't love her. We didn't School enrollment up slightly but downward trend indicated Enrollment ln the Sechelt School District last week totalled 2,446 students, an incrasc of 65 over the enrollment on June 30, and Supt. John Denley said he expects Uiat number to grow slightly In the next few weoks. Despite the Increase over .lune Uiere Ls as yet no Indication thnt the district has reversed the pattern of declining enrollment In evidence here during the lost several years. In October, 1976, the local school district's enrollment was 2,471. In October, 1975, that figure was 2,405. Almost a quarter of Uio district's enrollment, 560 students, attond Elphinstone Secondary. Chatelech .Ir. Secondary has 275 students, nnd 112 nre enrolled at Pender liurbour Secondary. Gibsons urni Sechelt olementarlcs have nearly equal full time enrollments, 359 ond 355 respectively, and are the second and third largest schools in Uie district. Gibsons also hns 34 kindergarten students attending half a day, and Sechelt has 26. Egmont Elementary, with 11 students, narrowly edges out Hnlfmoon Bay Elementary, with 15, for the dlstlncUon of lie Ing Uio smallest school In tho district. After two days of classes, enrollment in the district's nine kindergartens totalled 100, a decrease of 20 from June 30. Enrollment in the districts 11 elementary schools totalled 1,373 (including nine students ln the Sunshine School), an increase of six over June 30. Junior secondary enrollment (Including 15 students In the Gibsons rehabilitation program) totalled 085, an Increase of 49. Senior secondary enrollment was 295, an lncrase of 20. Enrollment at other district elementary schools wus us follows: Bowen Island 44; Dnvls Bny 40; Langdale, 113; Madeira Pnrk, 149; Pratt Rond, 65; Roberts Creek, 140, and West Secholt, 41. Denley told school bonrd members last Thursday Uiat although Uie elementary enrollment was almost exactly equal to Uie forccusc of 1,375, secondary school enrollments were somewhat short of predictions. Administrators had predicted an enrollment of 140 for Pendor liurbour, as opposed to tho 112 ln attendance Thursday, and 205 for Chatelech, as opposed to 275 enrolled. An apparent student population boom in the Roberts Creek area resulted In school bus overcrowding and delays last week, Denley told Uie board. But the addition of one more afternoon bus run should resolve Unit problem, he snld. get a divorce." While final solutions in such matters may be a bit more final these days, playground courtships still seem to be conducted in about the same fashion, "Wc play boys after girls or girls after boys," soys Lisa. And the age-old problem of who's in charge is similarly unchanged. "Lisa and Tina make mc come play cops and robbers," says Rodney. "I like being the bad guy except Tina wants to be Uie bad guy all Uie time. She's not very nice. She won't let me be the lind guy hardly ever." How was the first duy of school? "Good," says Lisa. "We went outside three times." Laura Blake agrees, but for a different reason: "I learned to write my name." Rodney, however, has a complaint for the admlnlstraUon. "I like looking at books ������ acarey ones with monsters In them and skeletons. In Kindergarten we had one about a wicked witch, but we don't huve any of those here." He says Madeira Park also needs a swimming pool like the one they're building at Uh: high school and "more football." Still, he'd ruther be ut school than ut home. "There's nothing to do at home," todays. "My bike's got u flat. I run ovor a null."

There is no doubt that Leitner, either through an honest error or through wilfull intent to mislead, threw the group a curve when he told them at last Wednesday's council meeting that the airport lease had been signed, when in fact it had not. When the group learned the next day that Leitner had misinformed them, they were naturally infuriated. But in switching the thrust of their attack toward the alderman, they are confusing the issue and embarking on a course which will do little to abate the problem of aerial noise pollution. Rather" than harassing the regional and village governments for a solution, CARE might do well to redouble their efforts in seeking a little more consideration from Aero Club members and Tyee Air. CARE seems to have assumed that nothing short of government intervention is going to put the damper on the pilots. That may indeed prove to be the case, but we haven't seen the assumption properly tested yet. Should such a serious neighbourly appeal fail, the appropriate authority is the federal Ministry of Transport. The ministry's guidelines about this sort of thing, as spelled out in the Times' articles of August 31, are unfbrtuantely vague, but there are usually ways and means for proceeding if one can manage to win the sympathy of the" appropriate parties. We are fully aware that previous appeals to the MoT have brought less than satisfactory responses.The outcome, however, might be different with an organized group pushing the issue ���provided that group is able to broaden its base'by enlisting the support of other concerned citizens. A political attack on Leitner at this DEEP IN THE coastal rain forest point is a divisive sidestep which will dwell the dyads or tree spirits. One, not likely win CARE many new recruits. Leitner's false assertion was unconscionable if made intentionally and unfortunate if made ignorantly; At the minimum, he owes CARE an apology. It is clear that he has no sympathy for the problem and as a pilot himself, he may be in some small measure a part of the problem. But the fact is that he is not the cause of all Uie airplane congestion over the Sunshine Coast and removing him from office wouldn't silence a single engine^ Fighting Frank Leitner is a waste of tinxe -aiid energy which could be better expended in other pursuits.

Canoe Pass condominium opposition is defended Winning ways By Tom Perry What goes on in Egmont is no one's business, but what is valuable about Egmont shouldn't be missed by anyone able to recognize and revere it. Knowing Egmont, however, is more a matter of participation than observation, so any attempt to communicate its wealth is difficult. At the keyboard of a typewriter I hunt and peck in vain for a language whose the pottery of Old Egmont Craft Works to the equally expressive designs of Jon Van's mandolin. In aquatic endeavors, from the opportunity to swim in a clean, seductive lake to the more ambitious undertakings of Skookum Scuba. It wouldn't beentirely fairto say, after Caesar, that Egmont est omnia divisa in partes tres. But if you're willing to a_d "and others," then Egmont has three Editor, The Times: Poor Adrian Stott. He is so disappointed with the people of this area, because of our ignorance. It has gotten so bad in his last week's column he said he may be forced to question our right to participate in government. It is the people of Pender Harbour protesting the proposed Millwood condominium at Canoe Pass who first bring to his mind this sad condition of the truth, he says. In sending their petition to the Regional Board these unthinking souls have allowed themselves to be duped by some "anonymous individual" representing himself as the Pender Harbour Ratepayers Association in the local press ��� ruining that group's good name in the process ��� who described the project as "instant Richmond". The "real truth" Stott then undertakes to tell us, is that the Canoe Pass condominium is small, sensible and that "no more homes would be ^iiilt than the normal four per acre allowed under a conventional subdivision on the site." Stott's perception of the truth in this symbols should be verbs of the highest comition derio.mlnatbr. It woufabf^M ;maih'mnmifis^?m*l*��? y- *^r|wrP at fhcTfceyboard of a piano. Oiimp^ Our ^^^ie^flyey fainlhjl^g efforts result chiefly in my^feeUiipah increasing kinship with the author of a book called "What I Learned About Women in Thirty Years of Married Life". One opens this book to discover only a bound pad of perfectly blank pages. Not that there's nothing to learn; rather that both cases conform to the familiar aphorism that anything really worth knowing can't possibly be taught. So what Is really valuable about Egmont can't be transmitted and cognized in consequence; it can at best be reflected here and re-cognize_ by people who have already been there, If only in their Imagination. Egmont begins where you want it to. For me it began at the Cook's teakettle on Egmont road that marks ttie driveway of my first rural home. The very next feature, a new 30 kilometer per hour sign (20mph) gives fair warning of a sharp curve. A playground sign would be more appropriate, though. From there the roadway is likely to be claimed by kids, dogs, cyclists and sunbathing swimmers at what we call "the logs." Further on is ttie entrance to Skookumchuck Park, and Just down the hill Is Egmont School's freshly landscaped playground. Downtown Egmont consists of a friendly po.st office, an obliging general store and a Community Hall that would like to protect Itself against fire and pay an exorbitant fire insurance premium with two one-thousandths of this year's regional recreation budget. The heart of Egmont, from September to June, Is Uie elementary school, which continues to draw Increasing participation from Its community. I_ist year, principal Hon Fearn was even able to offer a part- time salary to Jackie LaLoge, who did the kindergarten. Remnannts of her Involvement remain with me, like the .story Klnjl Van Arsdell dictated about his drawing of u Green Pocket Dog: "It has green pockets. It ls an orange dog. Tills kind of dog eats metal. The pockets ore for putting dog food In. There Is a house next to the dog and there's n dog next to the house. It has nine heaters In it." Egmont's landscape Includes otlier features rich In a variety of excellence. In construction, from Hurd's flawless A- frume to boats like the New Dawn or Afgnnlsnm's trimaran. In artistry, from mmi^im^*^^j*^mm*^^^*^^^irm?*^^**\^im^^m**^m*^*m*^*^*^^*i0*0^im- whom T may be related. We shanf a, telltale, terminal Y in our names. Silvey is derived from the Portuguese name Sttva, meaning "moon." Perry is an Americanized transplant of Perrara from the Azores. It would be a curious coincidence to find a connection now, across the lapse of four generations and the span of a hemisphere. Intershuff led with Silveys in eastern and central Egmont are Jeffries, who can trace their local origins back time out of mind. It is in this family matrix of Silvey and Jeffries that relative newcomers establish their roots and launch their hopes. To the extent that they too are sensitive to the tides and in touch with abundant sources of nourishment around and within them, the entire community can, in time, harvest some dreams. Then the feeling of otherness dissolves. The alien vanishes and the unique individual is integrated into the more-than- famlly yet les.s-than-town identity of Egmont. Here one can be completely at home, as gregarious as the captain of the mythical Popandus or as solitary as a single parent in a new cabin ��� both sharing a common gemuetlichkeit. (Egmont even welcomes its new German ghetto on Maple road; not separatists here!) But expect to stay a while if you como. It's a beautiful place to live, but you wouldn't want to visit. Or to paraphrase Thorcau, why settle for whey when you can sip cream, or better yet, help blend lt Into butter? Further down Maple road ��� around the bend, If they'll pardon me fpr saying so ��� live the Griffiths. The last two of my five memorable yeors ln Egmont were spent among them. Thoy excell in modesty and are otherwise reluctant to accept a terminal S ln their name unless you're referring to more than one. Griffith signs prevail to ttie end of the road where their favourite resident grandmother writes expertly about marine bivalves, offers me apples to eat (transparent ones at that I) and presides over Infallible memories of local history.

Thus we see that the strata-title, condominium style of development offers the developer an effective and cheap method for exploiting land which is rocky, difficult of access and normally unprofitable. What this means in terms of future Pender Harbour development is that much land local people have taken comfort ih -linking could never be densely developed can now be developed to the hilt, and the Canoe Pass project may well show the way for a host of similar projects. Not everyone in Pender Harbour is aware of this risk but some are and they s are genuinely concerned. Neighbours of the Canoe Pass proposal are also concerned on aesthetic grounds, feeling the condominiums simply do not belong in their neighbourhood. Many of these people are retired city residents very familiar with condominiums and all they entail; some have spent life savings specifically to get away into the country where there are no such things. They have gambled their retirement years on the area retaining its rural character and some are speaking of hiring lawyers at their own expense to fight Millwoqd. The .sincerity bour, and it would be of a new kind that has serious implications for the area's future development. His contention that the developed could get as many houses on the property under conventional rules is apparently arrrived at by multiplying the property's overall\ acreage (3.61) by the maximum density : allowable under present zoning (4) which gives him 14.44 houses. If, this is an example of how Stott wants the truth taken, it is no wonder he finds himself at odds with so many people. As a trained planner.Stott must certainly realize that half of that 3.61 acres would disappear in 66' road, spurs and turnarounds under conventional subdivision rules, owing to the elongated irregular shape of the lot. Of the remaining land .much would be disallowed as building sites because it is in Stott's own words "a rocky peninsula" without sewage absorption capacity. A developer would be lucky to get 6 conventional homes on the place, and it is unlikely he would bother developing It at all. But going the condominium route he Stott's suggestion these people in their distress should be "taken with a grain of salt" is snide and unworthy of someone trained for a position of public trust. Turning to his other charges, Stott's pretence of upholding truthfulness in public affairs breaks down completely. The Ratepayers published report to which he refers appeared on August 16, six days after the meeting he claims it influenced. It was written not by an anonymous individual but as it clearly stated, by the Ratepayers Publicity Committee which includes the Association's president, vice- president and secretary. And the Ratepayers opposition to condominiums was first established by a vote of the membership in March 1972, some years before Stott set foot on the Sunshine Coast.

At every one of Uicse meetings the question was asked, "What can wc do to bring more tourists to the Sunshine Coast?" After making my first trip last weekend since moving from tho area, I can now say that I know some of the reasons why tourists do not return to your area. The first mistake was made when we did not partake of the breakfast on tho B.C. Ferries but chose Instead to patronize some of the restaurants ulong our Journey. We stopped at a cafe ln Gibsons and to our surprise found that the menu contained one of my favorites, n Spanish omelette. A lot of confusion seemed to exist nt this request from Uie Initial question, "Is that on the menu?" to "How do you make one? " Roth of these questions usked by the cook, who had obviously either been willed or given the cafe the night licfore, As the cooking nrca was not closed off, wc were able to perceive the making of this gnstronomlcal delight which started with three eggs being dropped into a milkshake machine, beaten until they couldn't fight back, dropped In a pan, cooked and then filled with raw tomato**, raw green , peppers, raw onion, meat and mushrooms. It didn't taste too bad except the eggs were tough, but any resemblance to It and a real Spanish omelette was something else again. Our reservations, ns 1 wanted to show off tho Penslnsula to my husband who hnd never visited before, liad been made ut reputedly one of the better spots to stay on the Peninsula. This cabin type accommodation consisted of two rooms and a small bathroom. There was no table to ploy cards on, no TV (although this wus not a necessity but certainly available In nil flr.st class motels), only two sets of towels, although we liad stated when making the reservations a week In advance that our party consisted of two adults and a 15- year-old boy, and to top It off, not even a drinking glass was provided. This unit had no facilities for cooking, a fact that was stated when the reservation vns made. The shower In the bathroom had rusted so completely nnd appeared so dirty that none of us would enter It. It was absolutely awful, to put It mildly, und for ull of Uils .so- called luxury, our bill was $34. Also, we had Uiken ulong a enrtop boat as we were told that wc could launch one but thnt there wits a bit of a walk ��� an understatement, as you would have to be part mountain gout to clumber down the cliff to get n boat Into Uie water. 1 wns convinced while working with the Chamber of Commerce Unit Uio problems were all the fault of the B.C.

Iona Marriott (nee tStrachan) Agassi*. THE BOARD ON THE BEACH 'In an earlier article, I congratulated, the regional board for its handling of the application of Mr. Salahub for a rezoning at Davis Bay. Unfortunately, this praise has turned out to be premature, particularly for two regional directors. Mr. Salahub's request to open a marine sporting goods shop on a presently residential lot at Davis Bay presented the board with a real test. It could take the easy way out and approve the rezoning. After all, everyone likes Mr. Salahub and his family and would be glad to see him in business. Also, non-one doubts that he would put up a creditable building: But after a while, the board seemed to realize that approval wouldn't be in the greater public interest. Commercial activity at Davis Bay had been a continual source of problems for some time. Yet adding to the amount of commercial land in this case would be seen as indicative of A little maligned by Mr. Stott Editor, The Times: Your paper, on August 17,1977, printed an editorial column by Adrian Stott, in which Mr. Stott addressed himself to tourism, or "the summer complaint." My husband and I were tourists in your area from August 17 until August 21, and feel a little maligned by Mr. Stott. During that time we camped at Porpoise Bay Provincial Park, after driving through every private facilitiy for trailers between Gibsons and Egmont. We prefer the larger campsites, which allow more privacy even for a small tent trailer such as ours. During our vacation, we bought ice, groceries, gasoline, dry goods, camera supplies and bakery items. We used the banks and the laundromat. We had our car serviced. We ate several restaurant meals. At all of these facilities we were treated with courtesy and a great lack of discrimination. Perhaps I did not enter Mr. Stott's place of business! The only garbage I saw was at the Porpoise BaV beach, when a carload of young people with B.C. license plates left beer bottles around their table ��� and the bottles were promptly picked up by another tourist family! You may have heard that Oregon doesn't welcome tourists (not true),' and that we charge an extra $2 for camp spaces for out-of-state campers (true, I'm sorry to say), but here is one Oregonian who would welcome you to visit and enjoy our state as much as I enjoyed yours. Joanne N. Baker '���'���'" ���> Mllwaukie, Oregon. 'Blitzed9 with noise pollution Editor, The Times: It is not often I sit down to compose a letter of complaint, but the present circumstances warrant such a letter. My famUy has owned property in Roberts Creek for 60 years. Although we reside permanently in Vancouver, we frequenUy retreat to the country 'to get away from it all.' up until last year this was an anticipated event. Recently, however, we have been 'blitzed' with noise pollution which far surpasses the assault on our senses in the city. The noise I am referring to is the constant harassment of planes which soar directiy over our waterfront home. Do not misunderstand me, I am. not rebellious of progress; on the contrary I accept change and revel In modern technology. But I am concerned over the enforcement of air traffic codes and regulations ��� assuming these regulations exist. Presentty, I am ln doubt. I respect a pilot's right to fly and fully understand the need for air transport. I am also aware of one's need for privacy. Can wc not meet each other halfway? It is Ironic that I am writing Uils letter from Vancouver where I have escaped for a little peace of mind. Judy Ranchoux Vancouver Credit to those who deserve it Editor, The Times: I should llko to correct your reporter's story about the Department of Highways fire on Garden Bay Road, written in your August 24 paper. In correction, it was the men working for Department of Highways, and machine operators who sweated with shovels to put out the fire, ond if not for their alertness and the help of Uie Poclain the fire would have been out of control by the time our capable Garden Bay Fire Department arrived, In which they only soaked what was left smoldering on ttie ground. As for the Madeira Park Fire Department, I would like to know when they arrived, for I never suw anything of them. I should know all of this, for I was flagperoon from start to finish. I thcrfore feel that the credit should be given to those who deserve It, and that Is the alert men working for Department of Highways, ttie Poclain, and all who were directly Involved. Miss CM. Shepherd, Madeira Park By Adrian Stott the board's desire for more such development. This precedent would encourage more commercial rezoning applications, creating a pressure ever harder to resist. Not only would more commercial land there increase conflicts with surrounding homes, but it would also add to traffic problems on the highway and change the whole character of this important beach. And, more important perhaps, trying to establish two commercial centres in a community only the size of greater Sechelt could do great damage, from the point of view of both public convenience and the economic health of local business generally. Finally, there was no need for a rezoning to allow Mr. Salahub to build his shop. Other vacant commercial land is available at Davis Bay and at Wilson Creek, and even in Sechelt itself where perhaps such a retail business would really best locate. Finally, the board appeared to bite the bullet, and rejected the rezoning. But, hardly had the dust settled, than Mr. Salahub was encouraged to reapply. Area C Director Barry Pearson was pushing the rezoning, saying there was actually only one person apposed. He meant Ed Scales, the owner of the lot next to Salahub's. He had been the opposition's spokesman, and would have easily disproved Mr. Pearson's statement if he had known about the discussion taking place. Fortunately, cooler heads on the board managed to convince Mr. Pearson to hold off for a while. A policy of limiting further business area at Davis Bay was included in the draft Sechelt vicinity plan, which was to be put to the public shortly. The public's reaction at that point was to be taken as an indication for the Salahub case. The public meetings came around, and an aroused group of Davis Bay residents soon made it clear with placards and strong speeches that Mr. Scales was far from alone. Several people also asked angrily how the Salahub rezoning could have come up again, after it was supposedly dealt with. No clear answer is given. You would have thought that was enough. But no, because at the next planning committee meeting, there was Mr. Pearson and Sechelt director Morgan Thompson insisting that the rezoning be proceeded with. A community planning department report recommending strongly against the proposal was ignored. The feelings of the public, both at the public meetings and in a 93 name petition, were swept aside by Mr. Pearson as being not represennative. Bowing to this presssure, the board agreed to put the rezoning to a formal public hearing. How can this go on? The record of the two directors backing the rezoning reveals some.,clues. Mr. Thompson showed his respect; for the public's feelings quite clearly during the Sechelt sewer referendum debate. He was adamantly opposed to having a sewer vote, despite Sechelt Council's previous promise of one and an obvious groundswell of public opinion in favour, until the regional board forced it on the village. The sewer he wanted so badly passed the vote anyway, and Mr. Thompson's stand on the Salahub rezoning is just as wrong-headed. Apart from everything else, as a shopkeeper in Sechelt he would be cutting his own throat by allowing a second commercial centre at Davis Bay. Mr. Pearson is running true to form too. He has used the "not representative" argument before. At a meeting in Wilson Creek to discuss weekly garbage pickup, the packed hall voted over 5 to 1 against the idea. Mr. Pearson, however, decided that most of those in favour were watching hockey at the arena at the time, so the vote could be ignored. He went ahead pushing weekly pickup, and largely because of him we now have it. Other electoral areas are now questioning the cost and wondering who asked for it. Mr. Pearson seems so adamantly In favour of the rezoning, you really have to wonder why. He had apparently promised Mr. Salahub some time ago that he would get it through, maybe he's just trying to keep his word. Of course, he had no right to make such a promise, as any rezoning is the board's decision, not Ills. The result of all this has been to turn this matter into one of the worst recent examples of public decision making. Are thoso in favour hoping their opponents will eventually tire of presenting Uielr views and Juast fade awny? In the provincial legislature that's referred to as "legislation by exhun.stlon." It's no more acceptable in Sechelt. Messrs. Pearson and Thompson are even trying to distort Uie Sechelt vicinity plnn In their zeal for this rezoning. Apparently, their Idea Is to make lt look as If the rezoning is actually consistent with board policy and sound community planning. It Isn't. Even Mr. Salahub himself Is being treated unfuirly. He's being strung along from month to month rather Uian being given the firm answer he's entitled to. The Issue is no longer really nbout commerce at Davis Bay, It's about the proper handling of the public's business. It's time nil this ended. .Since tlie public hearing ls now unavoidable, ho bo It. IjoVh just hope thnt Mr. Scales and his supporters have the, strength to rally one more time. But they should understand that it's not to Mr. Pearson that they should make their representations, nor to Mr. Thompson. It's quite clear their minds are already made up. It's lo Uie other board members they must appeal, to come to Uielr senses, listen to ttie public and Uielr staff, ond overrule the misguided proponents of "commerce anywhere, unytlme."

"You allowed us to come here and discuss this lease and after all this .time you tell us that it's a ,'fait accompli?' " Pope demanded of the council. Added Lee, "I've never been so disgusted in my whole life." CARE men walked out of the meeting and at a hastily called press conference the next afternoon made their demand for Leitner's resignation after learning.the document had yet to be ratified by the village. "It's quite obvious Leitner was most irresponsible. As the airport committee member he should have known what the situation was," said Lee. CARE members will return to the next council meeting to "make a formal request for the man's resignation for misrepresenting council's action," according to Lee. If he refuses to resign then CARE will request the Minister of Municipal Affairs to "formally investigate the competence MORE ABOUT ... of this councillor to serve the citizens." According to the provisions of the Municipal Act a judge of either the Sur- preme or County Courts must decide whether there are grounds to remove an alderman from office. A petition asking for an inquiry "shall be filed within one month after the alleged ground of disqualification came to the attention of the petitioners," states section 115, �� While Leitner could not be reached for comment on the situation, Thompson apologized Thursday for making a mistake about the lease. Otherwise, he said, the situation had become so complicated he did not want to add anything. However, he continued, it was unlikely the village council would vary the lease over Leitner's objections. "I don't see how we can, he's our airport representative," said Thompson speaking after a regional board meeting. Mayor Nelson accused CARE of "making a mountain out of a molehill". Asked for an opinion on the impeachmeant he immediately hung up the phone. MADEIRA PARK Elementary School teacher Lettie Talento gives her Grade One class a few pointers on, their p's and q's.

"I never envisioned myself as a policeman," he laughs. He was hired under a student employment program and had the choice of operating out of either ttie North Vancouver or Sechelt detachments. He said he chose Sechelt because the city would have been "much more impersonal. There's 150 men there." Wanting to experience the RCMP as a rural, federal police force, Usher worked mainly evening shifts from May until August. Other than a basic introductary course he received no formal training. He did not carry a gun. While there were no major incidents during his tenure with the RCMP, Usher found his experiences with juveniles both enlightening and frustrating. "We would always find kids drinking in the most incredibly obvious places," he .said. I don't Uiink we liassled them, but there was just no way of Ignoring what they were doing. It wa.s just naive the way they went about it." Often, says Usher, the officers would just tell the teenagers to move along, but in many cases they were still drinking in the same spot when tho area was next patrolled. Usher wa.s constantly astonished at "the number of breaks given by the police" to lawbreakers. By the time an Impaired case comes to court, tho accused has probably been given a few warnings, lifts home and 24- hour suspensions, according to Usher, which Is one reason officers get angry wlje'n a guilty person is let off lightly by a juilge.

He was born in Palmerston, Ontario, and lived with his family on a farm in the Don Mills area. At the outbreak of World War I, he joined the Royal Air Force and went to England for training at Blandford, Dorset. He became a bomber pilot with the rank of flight lieutenant. Returning from the war, he settled in Calgary where he worked as salesman for a specialty shirt company. It was there that he made, the acquaintance of Khona Aberhart, daughter of William Aberhart. He followed her to Vancouver where she was training as a nurse and after her graduation in J932 they were married in Vancouver. Jim operated a garment manufacturing plant under the name of "Pacific Maid Dress Company". When World War II broke out, he served first as an air raid warden and later in the Army Reserve. As a friend of Captain Arthur Barclay, who was a regular and enthusiastic visitor to Redrooffs, Jim Cooper knew all about the Halfmoon Bay area and in 1945 he came to the bay with the idea of buying the Welcome Beach subdivision. However, he finished by buying, not Welcome Beach but the Redrooffs Resort, and he had been a part of Redrooofs ever* .since. He operated the Redrooffs Trading Company and he developed and subdivided a number of properties. He and his family lived first in the old Milne house which has since been demolished and later in the fine waterfront home which he had built close by the store. He was always a most generous contributor to community organizations and readily, allowed the use of his resort grounds to groups organizing country fairs, bingos and picnic suppers. Cooper's Green, as it came to be known, was a centre of community activity for. many years. .' : P ' . Jim had ah especially soft spot In his heart for children, and a few years ago it was not unusual to see him driving along the Redrooffs Road with the back of his pick-up crowded with children, many of them going along just for the ride. He never went out without a few candies in his pocket to distribute among his young friends. He took a great interest in the children as they grew up, following their careers with interest. He would go out of his way to give work to teenagers when he knew they needed a few dollars for some special project.

He was born at Canmore, Alberta, where his father was a locomotive engineer. He spent his summers with relatives in Vancouver until 1912 when the family moved permanently to Vancouver.- He served in the artillery in the First World War and was drafted to Europe. His regiment was reviewed by King George V. and Queen Mary at Whitley Camp. In France, he learned to ride not only horses, but mules, which had been introduced after so many horses had been lost. They were slow and hard to handle, but were stronger than horses and could stand Up better to difficult conditions. Hugh recalled an incident in 1916 in France when a young lieutenant offered to demonstrate to his men how to groom a mule. He made the mistake of standing behind the mule and suddenly found himslef kicked right across ttie stable. Soon after Hugh arrived in France, his father, William A. McPhalen, turned up there. Despite the fact that he was 50 years old and blind in one eye he had volunteered to serve with the, railroad trooops. Both father and son were awarded the Military Medal, Hugh for taking dispatches through enemy territory and his father for bravery in pulling a munition train out under heavy shellfire. Home again at the end of the war, Hugh McPhalen worked for the Powell River Company for 41 years, retiring in 1963 as ��� machine room superintendent. He spent the next two years in Chile, helping - organize a newsprint mill at Nacimiento, 300 miles from Santiago, and training Chileans to operate it. On September 7, on the occasion of their wedding anniversary, the McPhalens entertained a few old friends and what memories were recalled of Vancouver in the early years of the century! Agnes McPhalen, who was born in Scotland, was brought by her family to Vancouver as a small child, and she was surprised to discover that she and Don Ross had attended the Tecumseh School at the same time and that the school had been built by Hugh's father who was by then in the contracting business. They recalled the "Leap the Dips" roller coaster at one of the early PNE's. It had been constructed and was owned by an uncle of Hugh's. It was interesting to discover that Don Ross had been born in Windsor Castle, where his father was a sergeant in the Scots Guards. The family emigrated and settled in Vancouver around, 1910. Don has most interesting memories of ..early Vancouver, for as a boy he.thad Several paper routes around ^st^aqd Victoria and it was hot at all unusualfor him to meet a bear in the sparsely populated areas between customers. He also recalls that there was a Japanese logging operation for the making of railroad ties on the spot where the Killarney Shopping Centre now stands. House guests of the McPhalens for the celebration were their grandson. Bill Urquhart of Vernon and a friend. COMMUNITY NEWS Welcome Beach Community, Association is planning another busy season for its members. Shuffleboard games have started this week with twenty- two teams signed up.

A sale of handicrafts is also planned for some time in October at the Trail Bay Mall. Auxiliary meetings are held at the Welcome Beach Hall the first Monday in each month and new members are welcome. Next meeting is on October 3 at 8 p.m. - JANET ALLEN Friends and neighbours of Janet Allen who are constantly amazed at the energy and enthusiasm with which she pursues her many interests, will probably be staggered to hear that she was honoured on September 5 on the occasion of her 80th birthday with a dinner party at the home of Blanche McCrady. Mrs. Alien has been a permanent resident of the Redrooffs Road since 1954 and has been most active in all community affairs. An enthustiastic gardener, she was one of the founding members of the Sechelt .Garden Club. She has seved as president of the club and has carried off many awards and trophies for her fine exhibits. She has actively supported the Welcome Beach Community Association, acting as president of the Ladies' Auxiliary for many years and organizing plant sales. She has served on the board of Area "B" Ratepayers' Association and takes a keen interest in politics. Co- hostesses of the dinner were Freda Rhoades and Mary Tinkley. The toast to Mrs. Allen was proposed by Bert James and special guest was Sidnesy Edmonds of Brighton, England. SICK LIST Tage Nygard was in Vancouver last week to visit his daughter Judy Zimmerman of Coquitlam who has been seriously ill in the Fairmont Building at the Vancouver General Hospital. Judy's trouble started with a scratch on her leg from the kitchen table, but her condition became,so serious that for a time she was in danger of Josing the leg. She is now making good progress, but her leg is still in a special oxygen tent and she is likely to be in hospital for a while. She is now allowed visitors and would be very happy to see any of her old friends. Her children, aged 3,4 and 6, are being cared for by her sister-in-law. Ed Tjensvold who is a volunteer fire warden for this area was called to a spot fire at Jackson Bros. Logging following the storm last week. In the process of taking down an old snag, he slipped on a log, fell eight feet and cracked his ribs. Jim Anderson, following a stay in St. Mary's Hospital, is being cared for by his two nieces, Mrs. A. Herbison and Barbara Ladner of Nanaimo. Jim is 96 years old. BUSY HOSTESS One of August's busy hostesses has been Jean Trousdell who had a house.f illed with relatives for the wedding of her nephew, Rocky Hemstalk, to Sherry MacDonald at Wilson Creek. Her guests were her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hemstalk of Cowichan Station, two aunts and uncles from California, Mr. and Mrs. John Lindsay of Alamo and Mr. and Mrs. R. Hemstalk of Walnut Creek, and two brothers, a sister and cousin from Van-. couver Island. There was no respite for this busy hostess even after the wedding, for the following day, while the men of the party went fishing, the rest of them were off to see her daughter Carrie compete in the Timbertrail Riding Club horse show. Jean and her family had good cause to be proud for Carrie won four firsts and one' second and achieved high point performance for the day.

The Aga Kahn goal, of Vancouver's West End struggled Have you been feeling a bit pudgy lately, invariably, blaming all that hot summer beer and potato salad, and secretly wishing you could shed a few pounds painlessly, and maybe even put a bit of "spring" back into your step? Or have you maybe just begun to realize that it would really feel good to get moving again, and to get the kinks worked out Md to play a few of the games you haven't played ��� oh, since maybe you were a child. t Or maybe you are a child (you must be ,. a good reader! Keep it up!), or a teenager, or any other catergory we seem to put people in ��� but whoever you are, there's a whole new world of good times opening up for you in just a few weeks! All over the Peninsula "Fun Yourself Into Shape" Gibsons Rugby Club Old Boys AN AGA KAHN GOALIE tenses as a towards his goal. The Selects took the Sechelt Selectsman boots the ball soccer match Saturday 2-1. Selects take first league game by 24 inside right Barry Johnson, assisted by Stuart Craigan, and right wing Robert Joe, who scored on a breakaway from center. . In the second half, the West End Aga Khan seemed determined to get the ball from their end zone, but this was not enough to beat down vigorous defensive action by the Selects. In exhibition rugby last Sunday, the Gibsons Rugby Club beat the UBC Old Boys 20-10 at Elphinstone. Gibsons scored with two ties going to, Bill Henderson, one to Doug Kiloh and one to Ryan Matthews. Converts went to Frank Havies and Kiloh. On the Old Boys' side, tries went to Bryan Kirk and Rob Mallard. The convert was scored by Doug Tate. While UBC had the looser scrub, Gibsons had better back play. The victory was enhanced by a good turnout of third division players and an appreciative audience. A rematch will be announced later. On Saturday, September 17, Gibsons Fourth Division takes on the Vancouver Lomas at 12 noon, and Gibsons Third Division plays Tsawwassen at 1:15 p.m. Both games are at Elphinstone.

Play volleyball, ride a bike, step a Scottish country dance, go for a hike, relax with yoga, go for a run, flip out with gymnastics ��� just come and have fun! What the above really means is that the Sunshine Coast Fitness and Prevention Service, offspring of the Sunshine Coast ��� Community Resources Society, will get its new Fall "bigger and better than ever" program underway in the last few weeks of September. The Bod Squad, dedicated to providing easy, enjoyable ways for you to both have a go,od time and get your "bod" into trim and healthy shape, is busy arranging times and places for activities. One of the first "Fun Yourself. Into Shape" programs will be a series of evening get-togethers where one can not only ease oneself gently into a little physical activity and thus get prepared for indulging more seriously should one so desire, but one can also get an introductory sample session of the classes and spend an evening with each of the teachers to hear what each has to say about what she'll be doing, and to try doing some of it! Who knows, you might like it so much you'll want to come to the regular groups which will be starting later. "To reach as many people as possible, we'll be moving around the Peninsula, and everyone is invited to attend all of these sessions," says Program Co-ordinator Fran Berger. "What could be a better excuse for one to go for a pleasant evening's drive up or down the coast to one of the other communities than a chance like this to treat your lucky body to some activity? And what a great opportunity for people from all over the coast to get to know each other. Part of the fun is always social!" It's surprising how good it feels after you've done something physical. "From the energy and joy with which children run and jump and play games our attitudes are somehow distorted such that many adults think of physical activity as being 'work', hard, a drag ��� mostly because we're out of condition from not _oing it," commented Fran. "But there are so many fun ways to be physical that everyone should be able to find at least one activity that they can do regularly, and that as an added benefit will keep everything tuned up and in shape ��� and feeling good. These activities are what we are offering". Fitness is an attitude, an approach toward life, a condition of both ,the body and the mind. If you want it, now you can get it ~ the fun way!

FISHING Unsettled weather earlier this week put a damper on the number of boats out In most areas. However, with the return of good weather things are starting to pick up again. Gibsons reports lots of excitement off Gower Point Friday morning with virtually all boats bringing in salmon. They've switched from live bait to strip and are mooching down to 60 and 70 feet. Most of the action occurs Just before ahd after the tide change. Local Fisheries officer Ray Kraft expressed his concern over the number of grilse being taken. Trolling with flashers and tom-macs Is a sure way of catching them and 10 und 12 grilse per boat ls going to result In a shortage of salmon next year. The common reaction la that the flth are going to die anyway, being too badly hooked and weakened to survive. If you'ro catching too many, release them by wetting your hands first and easing the hook back out of the mouth. You can also help by changing your method of fishing ��� troll at u greater depth, mooch or switch to a plug. HOCKEY Registration for Minor Hockey will take place on Saturday, September 17, 10 n.m. to 4 p.m. at these locations: Pender Harbour - Mudeira Park shopping center; Sechelt - Trail Bay Mall, and Gibsons - Swnnycrcst MaU.

An initial engineering report prepared for the regional board and presented to Thursday's Public Utilities Committee meeting says it is technically possible to , develop Lyons Lake as a back-up to the Chapman Creek system, which the Regional District hopes eventually to extend from its current West Sechelt terminus. .... ', According to a presentation made to the committee by Daytort and Knight engineer A. Berzins, the.cheapest way to protect the new high school would be "to dig- a pool and add a pump." But this method, he noted, "is not always successful nor does it meet adequate standards." The second alternative, Berzins continued, it to build a water storage tank on the hills above the school, but that this costs a great deal of money: "and involves red tape." The Regional District should be looking for completely new water sources, especially in view of the large humber of, new subdivisions planned for the Pender area, Berzins said. Otherwise, warned the engineer, the area will eventually be "deficient in water supply." ' While acknowledging that Chapman Creek could serve up to 200,000 residents Berzins said the creek is "far from the extremes of the Regional District. We should look at other sources for reserve water. Chapman Creek requires back-up." Eventually, said Berzins, the regional waterworks system will be extended to carry Chapman Creek water to Pender Harbour. But another system should also be developed, he said, which could be used during the heavy demand months of summer and in an emergency such as a fire or landslide. As the source for such an alternate system, Berzins suggested looking at Lyons Lake, which he said is "the only watershed on the Sechelt Peninsula with a lake for storage." The watershed, which is partly logged and partially second growth with some ��� original timber left, covers 200 acres. The lake itself is shallow but clear, said the engineer. With proper storage facilities, Berzins told the area directors, Lyons Lake could service 10,000 to 12,000 people with the added advantage of being near the school in case fire protection was needed. As Lyons Creek, running out of the lake, is a spawning bed for salmon some protection for the fish would be required, Berzins added. Area B representative Peter Hoemberg suggested getting "more specific dollar figures" on the project "and then we can think how to pay for it." Pender Harbour representative Jack Paterson asked the committee to recommend that the Regional Board ask for a logging halt in the area to protect the watershed. Berzins also suggested a study of McNab and Dakota Creeks as possible sources of reserve water for the eastern end of the peninsula. In other water business, the Regional District will investigate the extension of regional water to Pine Road residents. The system now ends Just,beyond the trailer court on Highway 101. A similar request was turned down two years ago, but Works Superintendent Gordon Dixon told the committee that new subdivisions in the Pine Road area may make an extension of the line economically possible now. PageA-8 The Peninsula Times Wednesday; September 14,1977 Squaringly yours ��� by Maurice Hemstreet Hello, fellow square dancers. Did . anyone really miss my column the past couple of weeks? Well, if not writing a column for a couple of weeks is a holiday, I guess I have had this year's. Now to square dance news and coming events, so why not settle back and read on. For the past two months our square dancers have been meeting at our Square H. Room with many guests from many other square dance clubs and only once did we fail to square a set. Now that's not a bad average at all. September 10, last Saturday evening, we had over a set and a half, and with good old Harry at the controls we had quite a workshop. The Country Stars Square Dance Club will be back on location for the start of a ' new square dance season at The Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club at Roberts Creek September 16, at 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Hey, that's this Friday and Harry Robertson will lead off the season with his brand new equipment. He claims that the old, worn-out equipment was the reason for his calling mistakes. Well, what say we all turn out to see if this is true? All square dancers welcome. The square dance beginners class will start at the Elphinstone High School lunch room September 19,8 p.m. to 10 p.m. with Harry in charge, so now is the time to call him at 886-9540 and get your name and phone number on the list. It would shure help to get the square dance class of '77 lined up. Thank you, The next item on coming events is one that you will not want to miss and will have one chance only to see on October 1 at The Elphinstone High School Gym at Gibsons. That's on a Saturday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. when The Heritage Square Dance Company Pageant from The Fraser Valley Square Dance Association will present a two hour program on the history of square dancing dating back to the English (Era 1400s) French (Era 1700s) Colonial (Era 1700-1800s) and the Pioneer (Era 18-1900's). Ending an evening that you will never forget will be Current Square and Round'Dances. Their hosts for the evening, your very own Country Stars Square Dance Club. Tickets are $1.50 each and $1 for senior citizens. For tickets contact any of your local square dancers or phone our president, Lloyd Scrimshaw, at 886-9852, caller Harry Robertson at 886-9540 or myself at 885-3359. There are only two weeks left, so call early and buy your tickets now. In the meantime, good health and have a good day. See you-all at the square dance. Gibsons water vote set for November 15 Gibsons Council last week agreed to hold a public referendum on amalgamation of the village water system on November 15, the date of the municipal elections. The question to be placed before the voters is whether Gibsons should turn over the village waterworks to the Regional District. Council previously had approved the takeover, but an August 17 letter from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs advised the Regional District that such an action would require assent of the electors. Council also agreed to hold a public meeting "sometime in October" to air the issue. Mayor Larry Labonte suggested, that representatives from Dayton and Knight engineering firm and from the Are you part of the human race kCs oriust a spectator? ^_�� pamapacnon, \r twin ����w fcnoM k'\ rtjch.

Alderman Stu Metcalfe, a critic of the takeover, told councU that the referendum question would have to be carefully worded and that "it is up to us to see that the general public and the press is fully informed on both sides of the question." Alderman Jim Metzler promptly asked Metcalfe, "What are the two sides?" "Well, the pros and cons," Metcalfe replied. "The council has made a decision," Metzler said, "so far as council is concerned, there is just one side." ' "That's a good point," said Metcalfe, ".but I think we're getting into a fringe area here which is liable to destroy the public is concerned." AVOID CONFUSION!

The bylaw is designed to establish minimum standards for repair and maintenance of all property in the village. The impetus for its adoption primarily is to qualify the village for participation in a federal housing rehabilitation assistance program.

Section B Wednesday, September 14,1977 Pa^es 1-8 The price of a case of beer is 14 days in jail In his last regular appearance as a provincial court judge in Sechelt, Judge Ian Walker last Wednesday sent a Gibsons man to jail for defying a probation order that prohibited him from consuming alcohol. - As he sentenced Gordon Sopow to 14 days in Oakalla, the judge accused him of "laughing " at the law. In July, Walker had fined the man $500 and placed him on six months probation for refusing to take a breathalyzer test. At the time, the judge warned Sopow the incident had nearly resulted in a jail sentence. But three weeks later, on the evening of July 30, Sopow was stopped by the RCMP as he walked into the Tantalus Apartments with a case of beer in his possession. Sechelt couple wins $250,000 lottery Louise and Henry Sechelt were $250,000 winners in provincial lottery draw last week. The couple was out of town on the weekend —. celebrating their windfall, no doubt — but daughter Barbara McCourd, also of Sechelt, said they "have changed their minds many, many times" about how to spend the money. She said the Christensens plan to take a holiday to give the matter some serious thought. Christensen is a mechanic with SMT Coach Lines and was quoted in a Vancouver paper as saying they had spent "almost that much money" buying lottery tickets over the years. "My wife's a real gambler," he said. "We always buy tickets." According to testimony read out in court, Sopow "indicated (to the police) he knew he was not allowed to drink and had drunk on one other occasion as well." Asked by the judge why he had broken his probation order, Sopow replied the day,,;-, had been hot and' 'I didn't think one or two beers would hurt me." Probation Officer Neil McKenzie indicated that, apart from this one incident, Sopow has responded well to probation and suggested Walker impose a $100 fine for the infraction. The judge, however, disagreed, telling Sopow|hathis original probation "was an alternative to jail. You are just laughing at the probation order When you drink — and twice in three weeks." In his second alcohol-related case, Bradley Joe was given a suspended sentence for drinking while underage. Now 19, Joe wasr still a minor when he was picked up November 19 by RCMP in the beer parlour of the Peninsula Hotel. >*$ „*,>* ^flpt$JtMMy^^ Chrlstensen of to leave the premises. The youth Has «}n^'T previous conviction for the same offence. Admitting "it wasn't a very smart thing to do," Steven Hayward, 17, pleaded guilty in court last week to driving without insurance. Hayward was charged April 10. after Sechelt RCMP received a late night call saying a blue Mazda had been stolen from Sunshine Wheels and Equipment. When police stopped the suspected vehicle on Porpoise Bay Road, Hayward and a second person fled into the woods, surrendering to police a few minutes later. Hayward, an employee of the auto firm, told Walker he had taken the car for a test drive as he hoped to buy it. Fining Hayward $250 the judge remarked, "It's lucky you weren't charge with theft." the AUTUMN SPECTACULAR 1 OF THE NEXT 10 Homeowners to Order KITCHEN CABINETS will receive them o FREE OUR NEW SHOWROOM IS NOW OPEN on the second floor of i The Twilight Theatre Fort fi nn To t)i op In KITCHEN REMODELLING S L.

The above was written years ago, but it still applies today. Particularly to a person buying radial tires. Our company has been selling and servicing tires on the Sunshine Coast since 1964. We began selling radial tires to our customers in this area, eight years ago. We have learned something very interesting about radial tires. Here is the lesson we have learned . . . "No American- designed radial tire will deliver the mileage in the Sunshine Coast area that the European-designed and manufactured radial tire will." The above statement is borne out by actual fact. Tire after worn-out radial tire has been removed from vehicles in this area after rolling only 12 to 20 thousand miles! Tires that were sold to the customer on the basis tliat they would deliver 40,000 miles. Tire after radial tire has been taken off vehicles in this area by our two stores because the car has been shimmying and vibrating. No amount of bit lancing would help, because these tires liad 'misaligned belts'. Often, these tires were on brand new vehicles! AU of these tires were American-designed radials! In case after case where our stores switched the customer to a Kuiopean-designed radial, he got 45 to 50 thousand miles, and his shake, rattle and roll di.sap<7ir,,,i These are not American case histories, or even Canadian case histories; they aro Sunshine Coast case histories that your local OK Tire .Stores in Scchclt and Powell Hlver liave personally dealt with. Hy all means, buy radial tires for your vehicle, but please consider the above when you are shopping. ('Jet the facts from your dealer as to Im>w nn American radial tire Is made. . . how a European radial tire is made, and cxiH'lly why the latter Is so much heller, If your dealer can't nr won't tell you, perhaps von are dealing at the wrong olnec.

The nesting success of a snow goose colony is closely related to the date at which a significant proportion of. the nesting area is clear of snow. Therefore, if the pictures from the satellite show that the snow has cleared early from the nesting area, the investigators can predict that the nesting success will be higher than average.

What a pathetic excuse. When the world's non-renewable resources are depleted and there is widespread famine, are we going to say to our grandchildren, as they ask why we didn't do something, "I didn't have the time"? Whatever we were so busy doing isn't going to look so all-fire important to them. "I don't have time to recycle" ������ it may yet become a fitting epitaph for mankind, especially in North America. Bad enough that we consume far and away more than our share of the world's food and energy, but the worst sin is the waste. The philosophy of the Mad Hatter's Teaparty --don't bother to clean up, just move on ��� is finally catching up with us and we'll have nowhere left to go. Here we are in 1977 on the Sunshine Coast, a magnificent periinsula between, two inlets, virtually an island paradise, but we're still too busy exploiting it to have time to recycle, to make sure that we maintain the natural beauty for future generations by fitting ourselves into the environment rawer than riding roughshod over it. We've had surveys and studies galore, but they ail seem to gather dust oh the shelf and we go on our witless way, the "primrose way to the everlasting bonfire" as Shakespeare described the fate of those who can't rise to more than good intentions. How is it, someone asked the other day, that when the Regional Board receives support for recycling from 600 people that isn't enough, but Gibsons can go ahead with a n��.rina on the strength of 200 replies, many of them not even from residents? In June when the continuation of. Peninsula Recycling was being discussed by the Regional Boards the chairman was reported to have said it would "be impossible to educate people to sort their garbage, wash out and flatten tins, etc." and so wrote off the potential for re-cycled garbage disposal. "Impossible" really has nothing to do with the price of eggs. If we care enough nothing is impossible. What limits us is that we believe to be possible. Those who grew up in wartime Europe had no difficclty in sorting re-usables, paper, metal, glass, even little bits of string ��� necessity being the mother of invention. The shenanigans of the oil companies and their now-you-see-it, now-you-don't oil and gas reserves notwithstanding, it's just common sense not to waste non-renewable resources. If there really is a "sapiens" in the "homo", we don't wait for a crisis, we look ahead and plan. If we think the rest of the world is going to sit idly by, on or below the poverty level, /earning possible Brownie points towards the hereafter, while we squander the earth's resources, we're deluding ourselves. The Regional Board directors write off Peter Light as if the people at Storm Bay have nothing to do all day but sit under their equivalent of a banyan tree and philosophize. I imagine living in the bush without the benefit of electricity and all those labour saving devices the rest of us take for granted is a fairly time consuming occupation. Of course, the B.C. Ferry will say "no" without further thought to a suggestion that they give a free pass to bone fide carriers of recyclables to the West Vancouver depot, but that's no reason not to make the request. On the contrary^ it is important that such ideas be implanted and nutureed, that even the B.C. Ferry Corporation need not become a hidebound READER'S RIGHT , 'Senseless b create a Ro Editor, The Times: A note of thanks to Maryanne West for her article on the "dovish derby." She says so well in her usual excellent style what so many of us (I hope) feel. That this senseless slaughter of a species for some imagined temporary gain is a crime against the Power that created all things. If pursued on a large enough scale it will prove to be a boomerang as has been the case in every instance where man has presumed to interfere with Nature to a significant extent. . I anticipate the protests about the loss of salmon caused by these creatures as they proceed on their lawful occasions. But if you really want to see what damage a "predator" can do take a look at the streams that flow into the Chehalis, the Harrison and the Fraser in the lower Fraser Valley. Literally dozens of these were spawning streams for hundreds upon hundreds of thousands otsalmon and now, due to ruthless logging methods in the hills above, they are all completely barren. That is the sort of thing that has hurt the salmon. Proof? Before the logging in bureaucracy, but can be responsive to community needs. Someone has to start these ideas rolling. Why not the Regional Board? It was inevitable, I suppose, that the prophet who came among us from the wilderness should be brushed off as a nuisance, a waster of time and misunderstood. He preached a gospel we've forgotten in our affluent society, though it was once (and I suspect still is) familiar to many oldtimers on the Peninsula. A gospel of self-reliance, of responsibility for ourselves and our community, instead of expecting government or someone else to mollycoddle us from the cradle to the grave. Of course, his pitch wasn't popular. I doubt he was looking for popularity, just standing up to be counted, throwing an idea into ttie pool ih the hopes it would create far reaching ripples if other minds were prepare- to accept it.: When wefind ourselves asking, "Why doesn't someone do something about..,"? hopefully we shall hear Peter Light answering, "Why not you?" . the modern style and when the dogfish presumably were just as numerous, all the streams and the lakes they drained into or out of were loaded with salmon. That is a matter of record. Less than 50 years ago it was a common sight to see coho fighting their way up the roadside ditches in Surrey at spawning time, and streams like Silver Creek near Hope held thousands upon thousands of fish on their way to the gravel beds that saw their birth. Something happened ��� and it wasn't the dogfish. Recently in Montreal I saw dogfish in the fish shops meeting a brisk demand at $1 a pound. In a very fashionable South Coast resort in England I counted 28 varieties of fish for sale and in the Mediterranean I have seen everything the fisherman brought in from the sea thankfully accepted as food. Not that Gibson's little dogfish derby will upset Nature's balance, but the state of mind that encourages senseless butchery to create a Roman holiday for some real or imagined gain may earn the bitter resentment of generations to come- E.G. Symonds ���'.',- Gibsons. At first it seemed odd that Labor Minister Allan Williams did not issue a traditional Labor Day message this year.' But the minister's reticence was no accident. In fact, on the eve of Labor Day, Mr. Williams was preparing to drop in the Legislature a vicious piece of anti-labor legislation in the form of amendments to the Labor Code. Preparing for a full assault on the trade union movement, expected before the end of the present term of the Social Credit government, the amendments strike at the ability of unions to bring into their membership unorganized workers. Under the present Labor Code ��� a code which has resulted in the longest period of labor piece in the history of the province ��� 35 per cent of any work force had to first apply for a certification vote to take place. The next step was tht 50 per cent plus one of the employees of a firm had to vote in favor of certification before it was granted. The new amendments change these figures: 45 per cent of a firm's work force must apply for the certification vote to be held and when such a vote is held, the new "definition" of majority is 55 per cent. The new bill also subtly changes the purposes and objectives of the Labor Relations Board. Previously the board formulated policies for labor relations; in the new act, the board formulates only guidelines. The nuance is critically important here because "guidelines" suggest a certain voluntary character to the board's ruling. Thirdly, the new bill includes a provision that an employer has the power to make any changes in the operation of a business that are "reasonably necessary" for the proper conduct of that business. The discretion as to what is reasonably necessary is left entirely up to the em- ployer,xand any certified union involved has apparently no say in the matter. Does that mean if working conditions are unsafe to an employee but "reasonably necessary" to an employer, then unsafe conditions will prevail? This amendment also stymies ttie growth of industrial democracy which had taken its first tentative steps in negotiations like the recently and successfully completed forest industry contract talks. These first three major amendments are somewhat insidious. Instead of an outright abolition of the Labor Relations Board or as in the case of Bill 88, the Land Commission Act, the Social Credit method is to remove any teeth these pieces of legislation had. Thus, the facade of legislation still stands but the substance these acts once had to protect farmland or working people is quietly done away with. There seems, however, little subtlety in ��� MLA, Mackenzie the fourth major amendment to the Labor Code. That is the removal of the provision of the Code that gave union organizers the right to obtain names, addresses and telephone numbers of employees in an unorganized firm. This amendment undermines the whole spirit of the Labor Code. That spirit had assumed a rational The Peninsula Times PageB-5 Wednesday, September 14, MOT co-operative character to labor relations. Now, the government has put up a barrier to the free access of organized labor to those workers who are presently unorganized. The result can only be detrimental to those who, on the average, work under inferior conditions and receive less pay than organized sector of the labor force. From garbage to golf? It will take a few years for the garbage to pile up, but when it does the Sunshine Coast may have a new golf course if the Regional District decides to accept an engineering study recommending the creation of a new, centralized sanitary land fill site for the Sunshine Coast. Currently, peninsula refuse is disposed of at dumps near Gibsons, Sechelt, Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour where the garbage is either covered with soil or, occasionally, burned. However, as Works Superintendent Gordon Dixon explained to area directors at the September 8 Public Utilities Committee meeting, the four area dumps do not meet Pollution Control Board Standards. Specifically, according to a Dayton and Knight report on the subject, some or all of the sites need improved fire protection, better road access and Upgrading to prevent leaching of wastes into nearby streams. .���.���'," Upgrading the dumps will cost a minimum $53,000, says the engineering study, which adds, however, "Leachate control is imminent at some of the sites if use for refuse (disposal) continues. Such control is difficult and expensive." A second opinion discussed by Dayton and Knight involves consolidating the Gibsons, Sechelt and Halfmoon Bay sites and leaving the Pender Harbour dump in operation. But because of the increased travelling distance for contractors to the central location, this method of operating garbage disposal would increase costs by $12,000 a year, the study estimates. The 1977 Regional Distric| budget for weekly garbage collection is $60,262, plus a further $54,258 for maintenance of the four disposal areas. On Thursday night Dixon urged the directors to accept the third alternative proposed in the Dayton and Knight report which recommends the elimination of all four existing disposal sites in favour of a new, central location at Porpoise Bay in Sechelt. Bulk disposal containers would be located at the old Gibsons, Halfmoon Bay and Pender sites where area residents ,cou!d leave their garbage to be trucked later to Sechelt and added to the and-fill. The capital cost of developing the new site is estimated at $61,000 by the engineers with annual maintenance set at $45,000. Yearly transportation costs to the new site by contractors would add a further $17,000. The proposed Porpoise Bay site, Dixon told the directors, covers 11.5 areas of sloping hillside. Land-filling would begin at the bottom and work up. Eight feet of fill covering two acres would be added to the site each year. "By going to one site we will be able to have an operation that will meet Pollution Control standards," said Dixon, agreeing with Area E director Ed Johnson that it would be "the dim, distant future" before the usefulness of the new site ended. And when it is finished, said Dixon, the area could be turned into parkland, playing fields or a golf course. "It's the closest you can come to an ideal land-fill site," added the works superintendent. Pender Harbour representative Jack Paterson was unhappy with the prospect of closing the Pender Harbour dump and suggested keeping it open until its usefulness ended. Argued Dixon: "Pender Harbour will have to realize it won't be able to get away with things it gets aways with now. That site does not meet pollution standards." Eventually, he said, it would save money if Pender Harbour residents agreed to weekly garbage service. Paterson replied light-heartedly that for many residents the trip to the dump was "their weekly outing". If conventional bulk containers are not placed at the closed garbage sites at Gibsons and Pender Harbour, Dixon said an alternative could be corn-operated compactor units. By squashing the garbage they manage to hold more, he explained, and also generate revenue to help offset the high purchase cost. Unlike large, loosely covered containers they are also fireproof, said Dixon. The Dayton and Knight report now goes to Thursday's Regional Board meeting for consideration by the directors. r-'orri tv.iri.i'iriT ilA-livu'. ���- SOAJJIV' ���' ^r*&��iM!Mi��'- *dW'-fi&;^i'tl'&iii-?' it �� ���f V=s.(> ,->^(i s. .;_y/ THE NUMBER TO REMEMBER 885-2235 (-) e_o.e.

That is, if your interest is in matters horticultural and you were expecting to see what you remember from years gone buy. The format of the show has obviously changed. It is now designed to express a completely different philosophy of what a flower show is, compared with what*we used to recognize. As we remember the old days, one was met on entering the show building with massed banks of blooms, magnificently extravagant floral and arboreal landscapes, with some of the bigger growers from the Fraser Valley on hand to take orders for gladiolus, dahlia and other bulbs. Fruit and produce growers from different parts of the province w6nt to endless trouble to display their harvest with competition and rivalry running high. Well, plainly that has changed. Now the flower exhibits and decorations have been woven into a production that is designed to enhance the attractions of spectaculars like Dancing Waters and the Fashion Show so that flowers become part of a diversified effort to entertain as well as inform. Whether this is an improvement on the old idea is a matter of opinion. It obviously won't attract the same people who find pleasure in watching automobiles smashing into each other in an orgy of senseless destruction. There are no masses of flowers to bring fame to commercial growers but there are exhibits by groups, garden and specialty clubs with every bit of it the result of the dedication of enthusiastic amateurs who grudge no effort to promote not the dollar, but the fine art of growing and showing flowers for its own sake. One rather unfortunate result, admits Dean Gray who holds a large snare of the responsibility for the operation of the horticultural exhibit, is that the younger people seem to pass quickly through the area, apparently finding little to give them pause. Because the show docs not lend itself to the Ooohing and Aaahing evoked by the spectacular, only those with a genuine interest in gardening stop to examine and speculate. And the young naturally consider other occupations to offer more excitement. Also, everyone now .sees excellent exhibits of produce in every .lupermarket every day of the year. Not Just ordinary .stuff either butexotlc things like papaya. So while the big Okanagan fruit stall is first claws in every respect, once the competition nnd rivalry is removed it becomes another supermarket product department ��� without tlie papaya. These are the negative thoughts. On the other hand, the variety and extent of the exliiblts hold much of interest to tlie MAHJAHD TREES MEAN OTHER THINK MM 11 'l��.,'a'/VW��/ is'/..!'.���.

As a first-time director, Howard shows a sensible touch, moving his action along without dwelling longer than necessary on each scene. Howard also wrote the script with his father, Ranse, and stars in the film. Nancy Morgan, who turned in an impressive'performance in "Fraternity Row," plays his love interest. Although some of the comedy acting borders on the amateurish, Howard manages to keep the screwball action moving along with amiable humour. He and Morgan are the objects of a zany chase to stop them from going to Las Vegas to get married. Chasing them are a bus-load of senior citizens, the oafish fiance jilted by Morgan, a car-load of Chicanos, Mafia hitmen brought into the chase by a private detective, a couple of hot rodders, a preacher and a disc jockey who follows the racing cars in a helicopter while delivering a radio report on the action. "Grand Auto Theft" runs through Saturday, September 17. It is rated for mature audiences and carries the warning "some coarse language." Following at the Twilight on Sunday, .September 18, is "Carry on England, Carry on Matron." The film runs through Tuesday, September 20, is. rated for mature audiences and carries the warning of "occasional nudity arid suggestive language." ��� by Guy Symonds garden growing viewer. Some 15 clubs, all 100, percent amateur, offer the results of their labours for inspection.Unhappily, the Rose Club made only a brief appearance as the bad weaher played havoc with the flowers. From the orchids ��� some 28 varieties ��� to the desert cactus and the succulents, to the bonsei arid the Ikebana Association with its seven schools of the decorativeart changing its Japanese flower arrangements every three days, to the outstanding Canada Flowers exhibit and all the other stalls that offer pleasure to the interested visitor, the show seems to make the point that gardening can enrich everyone's life in a number of areas. One could run off a list of the exhibits and almost every one would merit a comment, but there are too many of them. Besides, one would want .to include the other end of the hall where the organizations of food producers offer their contributions. This Peninsula has more than its share of enthusiastic and highly skilled gardeners. The PNE would like to see some of them take part in this outstanding provincial event. Dean Gray, a professional gardener and obviously a dedicated young man, emphasizes that it is quite easy to enter. It may not be quite so easy placing the entries under the necessary time regulations, but there are exhibitors from as far away as Seattle so it cannot be all that tough. Gardeners will find a number of the 1977 booklets dealing with entries, prize money, rules and regulations for exhibitors etc. in the office of the Peninsula Times ~ free of course to any who want a copy. Another year, you might be Interested, and now is a good time to learn. One final point. Any who have seen this year's horticultural exhibit and have something to say about it, would be doing the PNE administration a favour if they would make their comments in writing. Suggestions for Improvement would, of course, be particularly welcome. TALES OF TERROR AND MYSTERY, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Doubleday cl977, 224 pages, .$8.95. THE SHERLOCK HOLMES FILE, Michael Pointer, David and Charles (J.J. Dou.gias), cl976,168 pages, indexed. The renewed interest iri Sherlock Holmes seems just another contemporary fascination for the super hero. Take, for example, the popular television series which include die Million Dollar Man or comic book characters such as Wonder Woman or Superman. Leaving the speculation about our need for heroes to the psychologists, let us take a look at Sherlock. It all began when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a medical doctor, decided to write some fiction to add to his purse. Holmes first appeared in 1877 in a collection called "A Study in Scarlet." Tweedy Hou_es,j with his genius for solving the most ob-1 scure crimes with the barest of clues, became at once and forever more a hero of remarkable proportions. On to "Strand Magazine"; then, a book, THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES in 1892, and later THE RETURN OF...in 1905. Still regarded as one of the great horror tales internationally is THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES which came out in 1902 and remains today on film. This new publication, TALES OF TERROR AND MYSTERY, is a collection of his lesser known stories edited by Conan Doyle's daughter-in-law, Nina. They are in keeping with his formula of meticulous detail building, leading to the surprise ending which then seems to have been quite obvious all along ��� if only you had known! The tales are appealing and offer a variety of twists that are not only entertaining but allow one further appreciation of the Conan Doyle style. ��� by Murrie Redman Some of the stories show the author's interest in the supernatural and spiritualism while others employ wit and humour. They are all quite satisfying and have weathered well during all these years. Holmes collectors should also be pleased with the SHERLOCK HOLMES FILE. It is introduced as "a pictorial survey of the ways in which Sherlock Holmes and his world have been presented and misrepresented to the public over the last 90 years or so by artists, actors and dramatists." In the illustrations of the great detective, he is most often portrayed as a tall, spare, middle-aged Victorian of rather sharp features. But the stage Holmeses have run to the pudgy, the swarthy, the morose and even the prissy. One of the favorites, inspired by illustrator Sidney Paget, is Basil Rathboruf as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as a delightful Watson. In films of the thirties, they are classics of the Sherlock legend. For one not particularly enamored of Sherlock Holmes, I found the book stimulating and when CBC puts on its series of Holmes mysteries, I intend to tune in.

Gibsons gives conditional ok to Navy League -PRODUCE- Gibsons Village Council last week gave conditional approval to the Navy League for the donation of municipal land for construction of the league's planned activity centre. Aldermen indicated that they would approve use of a site adjacent to the swimming pool after the league has satisfactorily proven financial capability for the project, estimated to cost between $50,000, and $60,000. Cdr. I.B.B. Morrow, president of the League's Sunshine Coast Branch, told aldermen at the Tuesday council meeting that the league intends to turn ownership of the completed two^storey building over to the village and to form a board of directors for the project with the chairman of that board being an elected village representative. The village property adjacent to the swimming pool is designated as recreation land, and the council's approval of the league's plan was premised on the fact that the building will include a hall which could be used for a variety of community purposes. "���' _ Morrow presented council with a proposed four-stage construction plan for the project, "to be erected as quickly as funds will allow." The hall is the third phase of the construction. Alderman Ted Hume expressed some concern with the league's ability to, carry through on all four phases. "The first phase is a storage building," he said. "Will we ever see the second phase? That land is for recreation. With the hall it is recreational; without it, it's not." . Moitow said the league has applied for a Canada Works Program grant and "will know by February if we have the money." Mayor Larry Labonte told Morrow that the league "will have to show the village Province to review regional districts' role The provincial government will establish a special five-member committee to review the role of regional districts. Municipal Affairs Minister Hugh Curtis announced Friday the formation of the group whose members will be selected shortly. It is expected they will begin their work in October. In hearings held throughout the province, the committee will examine the jurisdictional role of regional districts, their structure and boundaries, as well as their relationship with municipalities, the provincial government and private citizens. The members will also review provincial .support money paid to tlie districts. The group's report and recommendations will be due in early 1078. Regional Districts were established in 1967 by the previous Social Credit government and have, been criticized ln recent years, especially in the Ixwer Mainland, for becoming too powerful. Curtis has promised that all tlie committee members will be experienced in local and regional government and administration. Meanwhile, The Sunshine Coast Regional District Is re-examining Ita committment to un appeal of a recent court decision in light of last month's umendmenta to the Inlands Trust Act. Planning authority for islands under the act luuj been removed from the regional districts involved and given to the trust, while leaving enforcement responsibilities to the districts. The Sunshine Coast Regional Board decided over Uie summer to appeal a provincial court decision which ruled that Uio local building Inspector had no authority over houses on Thormanby Island, a member of the Islands Trust. Hut last week Area H representative Peter Hoemberg, nn outspoken critic of the legislative changes, asked his fellow bourd members, ".Should we really be concerned with the appeal? Should we even care?" Hoemberg suggested the region*) district might drop the appeal and tot Municipal Affairs handle It "If U concerns them." The directors are considering the scheduling of a special workshop witli their staff to discusH tlte full implications of the new Inlands Trust amendments. that you have the finances behind (the building). Before council can sanction the start of the building, we want to know if you have the money to 'do it." At one point in the discussion, Alderman Jim Metzler suggested that the project might be eligible for funding under the Regional District's recreation function. "We might consider joining the recreation function if they will guarantee to provide some assistance on this project," he said. There was no further discussion of Metzler's suggestion. Council later accepted a committee report from Alderman .Lorraine Goddard in which she recommended deferring consideration of such a move until after the village's swiniming pool is completed and in use. The pool is scheduled to open December 1. ? THE GIBSONS AREA - WHAT OF THE FUTURE ? Last month a questionnaire was mailed to residents of the Gibsons vicinity (from Langdale on the North to Seaview Cemetery on the West) asking for their opinions about the area and how it should develop in the future. The returns will be used as guidelines by the committee that will be drafting the vicinity plan. If you intended to complete the questionnaire but were too busy, it is not too late to do so now. Simply fill it out and return it to the Sunshine Coast Regional District, Box 800, Sechelt, B.C.. VON 3A0. If you have mislaid your copy, extras are available at the Gibsons Municipal Hall or the Regional District Office in Sechelt. This project is jointly sponsored by the Village of Gibsons and the Sunshine Coast Regional District. IF YOU WANT A SAY IN HOW THE GIBSONS AREA IS TO DEVELOP, THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
