The committee held regular monthly meetings February through June of, 1977, in October, and then"disap- "It seems like It, anyway," said Dick Proctor, the ferry committee chairman. Proctor said that although there is a possibility the committee might meet again before the summer, no one has expressed n^uch Interest lately.

H'.C, Tel spokesman Stan Patterson said Tuesday's breakdown in the operative channel occurred while workers had the backup channel disassembled for routine jnaMenance. ������������ ���'��� "' The failure severed all 38 circuits linking the peninsula with outside areas. Communication was disrupted from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Telephone service between points on the peninsula was nqt affected. in full cafeteria service on the two stretch ferries serving the Sunshine Coast, but B.C. Ferries told the committee that it was unable to juggle the summer schedule to provide the alternate sailing times It requested. , Bill Bouchard, assistant traffic manager, said the changes "requested by the committee would "require eliminating some sailings and would reduce the total liftoff capacity to an inadequate level." The committee had complained that the schedule was causing problems for local businessmen who could not make the 2:40 p.mi ferry back to Langdale from Horseshoe Bay, and were forced to wait until 4:55 pim. to catch another ferry home.

But after Lee's dissenting-vote was- accompanied by a typically grandiloquent little speech about "local government expansion" and "empire building" and "flouting the warnings and advice of senior governments." A$ very appealing rhetoric, but let's consider Director Lee's record as regards the budget items he raised specific objection to last week. ��� Building inspector's salary, $1,648 per month plus about 12 percent in various fringe benefits. Lee, and some other director, first questioned whether the district's building and plumbing inspection department might not' be overstaffed at the January 12 board meeting when revision of building permit fees was under consideration. After some discussion���directors���agreed-thatr- there-w^s-insuffieient-information-to justify cutting bactlhe staff at that time.-At the suggestion of Lee himself, the directors voted to raise the permit fees to cover increased costs and to re-examine the question of staffing^Jater. At a management committee meeting on March 7, the question again rose and Lee supported a recommendation to review the department's workload after the summer construction peak. At a March 9 finance committee meetin Lee again approved inclusion of the item in the budget. . ��� Community planner's salary, $1,648 per month plus 12 percent fringe benefits. At "the March 7 management some discussion, it was concluded that a commitment for these funds already' existed and that the items should be included in this year's budget .and. the necessity for it reexamined next year. Lee concured in this-recomendation. _ . - - Direcotf Lee has thus listened to the arguments and previously approved each of the items which' he says force him to vote against the budget. In the case of the building inspector's position, he approved it three times. Dramatic speeches do not"a people's hero make. Lee's scrutiiiy of the district's budget is, as Director Joe Harrison stated, an "honourabll" exercise. But after all the scrutinizing is done, all the arguments concluded, Mthe_re5Qmmendationspasseiiitom committee, it is hardly "honourable" for_one of the budget's architects to pretend that it-is being forced down his .throat. . : It should also be noted that the increase in local tax requisitions in this year's budget is almost four percent rather than slightly above three percent primarily because of a $2,000 grant for local RCMP auxiliaries which was tacked on at the last minute Thursday. Lee themotioiLio-JnGlude^the new ex penditure, noting that it "works out to about 17 cents per capita, a very tiny amount of money to contribute to such a worthy cause."

I feel proud and privileged to liavo had this from skating to curling ice and by freeing 2xk days of ice time for hockey and skating. - - Now, one can see by the figures above Hhat, unlike thetwojard-bellie^-watching��� Tods playing hockey on the road because they couldn't be bothered driving into the "boondocks of Sechelt" as depicted in a stupid cartoon in one of ourlopal papers a . few weeks back, a good percentage of the, whole peninsula population is enthused , enough to use our first class arena. Since the whole peninsula is boondocks, I think the Arena is pretty well near the centre of it all, Soon the road will be paved all the way . .(Won't" it, Mr. Vari Egmond?), making the drive more pleasant. Because the Area is totally un- subsidized, and the association has no bprrowing power (imagirie trying to run a million dollar plant without a line of credityTand thej/illage of Sechelt doesn't have tlje tax baselosUpport itsjiperation, the board of directors spends hundredsof- unpaid hours trying to keep the place solvent. That has been done in the past by keeping costs to a minimum and by charging rink users a pretty stiff ice rent comparedto subsidized rinks. Now, ior some: reason If the Arena showed a series of losses,, or the, association decided because it's a well- used publicfacllity let the public run it, or the fees got so high people couldn't afford to use lt, the Village of Sechelt could end up with the biggest meat cooler in B.C., and the kids would be waiting for Trout , ?"u V7UU' u'�� ���'' "��f��"������c -Lake~to freeze agaihT (How"sooi we forUnemploymentand;Emigration,ivould forget.) I think the Arena is too important an A nasty df^dMcal expediency Editor, The Times: One of the nastiest little bits of political expediency to come along for some time is. the series of newspaper ads directed at "those who thirik they can cheat, the U.I." In a time of massive unemployment in the couptty the government's response is to make scapegoats of the unemployed ^ themselves, trying to focus the resentment of~the~public_ against them, instead of where it should properly gor against Pierre Trudeau and his Liberal government. It is their lack of concern and action that have caused unemployment figures to soar, to a finally admitted "one million plus". , ' The unemployed make an easy target, unable to defend themselves from the implica^ons of dishonesty In these ads. The unemployed want work; not handouts. Bud Cullen, the Minister responsible asset to the peninsula to "allow that to happen. It ha^an annual operation budget of about $130,000, of which half is wages, mostly spent locally. The spin-off business It generates for sporting goods stores, motels, restaurants, food suppliers, tradespeople, to name a few, has to be substantial. It Is a proven fact It helped reduce Juvenile,problems too, This winter the Arena's fortunes were equated with the Qalos'. It's true, if everything had gone according to plon, it would hove been n great yoar for both, but because thpy wero booked ln prime time, tholr problems with toam cancollatlona became pur problems with no customers In tho snackbar and in tho Porpoise Room, In spite of a fow setbacks the" Arena ls having a strong finish for the season, with o busy 35 rlnk Easter Bonspiel, a very well attended Figure Skating Carnival, etc. I don't wnnt to leave anyone out.

The last thing we need is a. government agency deliberately adding to the ugliness we're so good at creating in this once-pure place. Every piece of despottation takes something out of our lives, just as the sight of beauty can uplift us. And it isn't just the poor residents who are affected. We're told one of this area's biggest assets is its scenic attractiveness. We're urged to exploit this to earn tourisnT income, But the greater part of most tourists' view is through the car window. Spoil this, and' you can spoil the whole -impression of the regionrBad for businessr������ you know. . ^ . So^hy-ttees-it-occtir? Well; the man responsible is the District Highways Manager at Gibsons, Tupker Forsyth. He says roadside brush has to be cleared for safety reasons; and the_ slashmg. machine \ is the cheapest way. There's a hole in this justification, which mostly isn'4 Tucker's fault, but back to that in a moment." He mentioned several safety problems. Sight distance is impeded by growing foliage; trees shading the road prevent ice from melting and the road from drying; -etcrAnd "then there- afe^coi^ai!ifs7sueK~~" #s Ihose^frorii camper drivers who don't like nasty bushes scraping their beautiful rigs. - r.; So the machine is brought up. "Cut everything^' the operator is told, although hedges ana ornamentat-piantings are Supposed to be-^sparedr Even-Highways - admits the program itself generates complaints, not the least of which are about over-zealous operators. Take a look at the~inoffensive-itreeTatrthe souttrend of" Davis Bay beach, which was only there to " beairafy the beach". Was there really" any 7 need to attack it like-that? . ��� ��� .��� ~J*\ The real problem, though, is'tfigg^n/ * not the individuals. It's the terms of reference given to officials s_uch as district highways manager. ��ach official is told to - concentrate .on.'one -small-subject.. He strives to achieve the goals his department sets-, blinkered'by the rules to the effects his\efforts are having on matters outside hi$ responsibility. . In fact, his superior would probably tell, him off if he paid too much attention to suchA"irrelevant" items. - Tasked Tucker whether' he was con- . cerned about the. visual damage-^the * slashing was causing. "This^'lTErScennr- -rHighvvayilrhe~fephedriijsut. a, transport��� route''. I guess lie's right. Unless we're w classified as Scenic, there's no money in the budget for preserving beatity.

It's no gQbd^^^���we need someone to , make sure things stay in balance. ��" But let's suppose there were a body to tell Highways it had to consider aesthetics in this non-Scenic area. What are the alternatives to the slasher? ' Well, first, I'm not convinced you have to work over the whole highway each time. Everywhere isn't a danger spot.' Why not just put the effort where problems crop up? And how about letting trees grow over the roads? Other places do that in rural , areas, at least partly to add to the coun-^ tryside charm. Also, with enough' overhang, you get less snow and ice" on the road in the first place. Think of that treed "substandard" stretch oh North Road below the hairpin.

Oh sure, there's still the pomp and circumstance of the opening ceremony, the 21-gun salute, the well-dressed ladies and the uniformed gentlemen. But behind . the show, there are disturbing unanswered questions. For example, why is the legislature opening so late in the year, indeed, just two days before the end of the fiscal year? " By this time, the MLAs usually have argued out the Throne Speech, which is the government's general statement policy, and the Budget and have started to work, on the department-by-department debates on spending." Most important, the the government is going into the new fiscal year without any parliamentary approval to spend a cent. Their tactic, of course, will be to introduce an interim supply bill to get a portion of the bucket to pay the bills for a few months, and they will force it through with the weight of the majority iriVthe^. house but without proper public con-\ sideration of how and why the money is ) being spent. v ^/ It has beeome clear that Mr-Bennett . does not like the legislature very much and will avoid it as much as possible. Rather than take part in the debate, use ttie ample opportunities to introduce and, defend life must be faced.

The carrot rust fly is another enemy that may be encountered in the vegetable garden and here again the best defence is - diazinon stirred into the ground before seeding. There are other methods of, dealing with this pest. The carrot fly has a generating cycle which if carefully noted will defeat it. This gardener, however, having the vagaries of the coast climate in mind, prefers to sow when convenient, arid, carry the war to the fly. Some experts advise stre^hing a string soaked in coal oil along the nrtvs blanket the smell that attracts the fly. Memory howfever goes back to the days when this^ method was used commercially with the result that the • carrots, were completely inedible. Unless you like the tasted of coal oil, of course. >.

There weren't enough chairs for all the spectators. Shannon was admittedly hervous but answered questions calmly, politely, carefully. Time after time, he _ responded, "I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it might tend to incriminate me." Mr. Justice Kirke Smith invariably asked, "Do you require the protection of the Canada Evidence Act?" Shannon said he did, and then gave his answer.

The most noteworthy . feature was not its modest dimensions, nor its pleasant, bright yellow interior, nor the suitabfe water temperature, bdt the noise. Perhaps the fact that almost all ofthe 70 or so patrons were school children on their vacation had soniethingTodo with it. They were having a great time. Non- swimmers frolicked in the shallow end or splashed around in the wading pool. The ., single, low diving board sprung youngster after youngster into somersaults, back- flips and belly fltips. Swimming was basically restricted to the sides of the deep end and to the mid-pool area, around the 1.5-metre line. There were usually about 10 people soaking in the hot whirlpool. •- \ enjoyed my, swim, despite the noise, the "crowded conditions, the smell of chlorine, and plan to return often for a more leisurely swim. , , * It's a shame the pool is so small.

As the square dance season for 1977-78 comes to an end there are many wind-up square dances within easy reach from Powell River all thru the Fraser Valley, even as far as Hope. So when you hear the. majority of our population saying that there is nothing to do, then it is time that they joined in the fun of square dancing. When you travel as a club, it's not too expensive, and not a bad thought for the day. March 28th ��� The last evening for our beginner class held ih The Square H Boom was quite an event and V lot of fun with Harry, Deanna, Peg and myself tippy- toeing around lining up a bit of 'a surprise- for the beginners and the beginners' class lining up a surprise for us. It was like a 16th century stage play where all was total confusion, till the curtain went up. Then all plans merged into one great coffee break, one of the best I have ever sat down .to. With over two sets of square dancers around the,tables, everything seemed r." 'I���-!'" Timber Days picks up steam After a slow start, 1978 Timber Dajte organizers have got plans for the annual event well under way. Committee Chairman Carl Chrismas credits much of the progress made so far to- the committee's co-secretaries. "If enthusiasm and hard work will get Timber Days rolling, then Kathy Acton ' and Angela McDonald, as (^secretaries of the committee;' have given it a good push,'' Chrtemfls said the, group is hr the process of planning the usual Timjjer Days activities such as the May Queen Pageant and the Tea Garden, and is brainstorming * new ideas for this year's event. The committee la planning a fishing derby and dance, prior to Timber Days, and also hopes to choose a "Timber Maid", from among sponsoring groups. Tom Wood has been appointed treasurer of the committee and Bjorn Skei will be contacting loc&l merchants fot advertising support, in producing this year's Timber Days program! quite normal till the class presented Harry and Deanna Robertson, their called and teachers, with a beautiful homemade card complete with verse written bylpoet apdx square dancers Ron Huggins and his good taw Lorna and it goes something like ��his;. ��� THE CLASS OF 77-78 f We started off with two left feet, and our allemande lefts were't very neat, We lost our partners, corners-too,-andx��� ended up~with somebody new. OH! heavens, it was an awful flight as we do-sa-doed with all our might, But good old Harry, he showed no pain, he'd do it over and over again. He never lost his cool, did he? and tutored us all so patiently, with able assist from his dear, Deanne and old uncle Maurice in . his jolly manner. So now we unite, all singles and pairs,-to say many thanks to all you old squares. Then to top the refreshments of the evening, a beautiful cake with best wishes . and happy square dancing was placed before the class. Deanna proceeded to cut the cake with a replica of a 1912 Spanish cd, quite a sight, I must say. However,._ the evening was a fantastic success and now the class will be able to join The 'Country Stars of any other square dance anyplace in the whole world.
