PAGE TWELVE e SAANICH PENINSULA AND GULF ISLANDS REVIEW Wednesday, August 6, 1969 Area Mayors Visited By NDP Chief NDP leader Tom Berger Visited Sidney, Central Saanich and North Saanich last Friday, accompanying local candidate Don Johannessen on a tour of the area that included everything from mayors’ offices to beer Parlors, Meeting with three local Mayors during the afternoon, Berger and Johannessen discus~ sed the provincial government's role in municipal affairs. Johan- nessen, aside from being the lo- cal candidate for MLA, is Ber- ger’s advisor on municipal af- fairs. Berger assured each of the mayors that an NDP government would continue the homeowner’s grant and, he Said, would under- take a study to determine other Methods of relieving the burden how placed on local homeowners. One of the methods to be used in combatting rising taxes, Johan-. nessen said, is the reduction of the load placed on municipalit- ies. ‘Such things as education’’ Johannessen Said, ‘‘should not be paid for by local property. taxes but should, instead, be more “adequately financed from provin= cial sources.”’ After meeting withthe mayors, Johannessen and Berger dropped in at the office of the Review, then strolled down Beacon Avenue to the Hotel Sidney, where they sip- ped beer and spoke to local re- Sidents who had taken refuge from the heat in the hotel’s beer par- lor, Commenting on the day’s ac- tivities, Johannessen said that he andBerger had ‘‘learneda lot” from their meetings with local mayors, On the previous evening re- Sidents of the Blenkinsop valley met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Moran to discuss local is- sues with Johannessen. Topics ranged from public transportation, which Johannes- Sen agreed is ‘‘sorely lacking’’ to education and pollution, both priorities in Johannessen’s plat- form. “By meeting with local resi- dents, a provincial candidate can Jearn the issues facing the citi- zen -- the person who should really matter to a government, but is too often passed up in fa- vor of money interests,’ Johan- nessen Said after the discussion. Hartley. (Review Photo.) UNUSUAL His main interest is sculp- ture, but 22-year-old Michael Hartley shows unusual talent al- So in pottery and wood cuts which went on public display Tuesday in Sidney. A wide variety of his work is being exhibited in conjunc- tion with the relocation of Can- adian Art shop from Beacon Ave- nue to 9802 Fifth Street. The exhibition will continue to August 14 at the shop which is operated by Sheila Ingram and Bea Swinarton, Heartley’s work is modern, but pleasing to so-called con- formists in its delicacy, color and craftsmanship.

All display the touch of a skil- led hand in both coarse and fine-grained wood carving. Some of the cuts are made up from aS many as six over-printed carvings, His pottery shows finesse as well, despite the fact that the Vancouver -born artist has been “at the wheel’? for a compara- tively short time. Hartley, who has lived on and off in Victoria for the past 13 years, has exhibited before at Pandora’s Box in Victoria and Handcraft House in Vancouver.

Hornpipe is bound for England with the six members of the Dinsdale-Young family aboard, February 25th, 1969 We decided to catch 3 bus back to Kingston instead of the train. The bus was absolutely jam packed with people and as people got off we managed to sit down. The bus went roaring around sharp bends with the dri- ver playing tunes on his horn. It took us seven hours to get to Kingston. The bus had two flat tires on the trip. February 26th - March 6th, 1969 The Captain and the 1st Cook bought food and supplies from Kingston. The deckhand and I did our correspondence lessons and the two cabin girls played with Christopher at the swim- Ming pool or at his boat, Mike Roberts came aboard the Horn- pipe. He is going to Florida with us, March 7th, 1969 The Hornpipe left Port Royal by motoring and Sailing. We had a following wind down to an island where the Hornpipe anchored. The island had the remains of some old salt pans on it. The deckhand and I dived for conches and we got a lot of them. Everybody ate the fruit of the prickly pair for supper, it Was very good. March 8th, 1969 The Hornpipe had a nice sail down the coast. The deckhand and I did our corvespondence lessons. We anchored inside Cockold Point. March 9th, 1969 The Hornpipe left Cockold Point and headed for Black Ri- ver. We had a beautiful sail, The Hornpipe was moving about four knots. The bottom was Four Charges Of Burglary In Central Saanich police court last Thursday, Lawrance James Auclair, age 20, stated to be boarding at a Brentwood address, pleaded guilty to four charges of breaking and entering Brentwood area business premises early the previous Sunday morning. He was remanded for sentance, Amveriean tourists fishing on Brentwood Bay in the early hours had reported hearing sus- picious noises to Central Saan- ich police. On investigation, pclice found that the Poplars Coffee Shop, Brentwood Mercan- tile, Texaco Service Station, and Anglers Boat Rentals had been broken into. Groceries — Fruit — Vegetables very muddy and the water wasn’t clear. Everybody went ashore and went for quite a long walk, March 10th, 1969 We got the sailing dinghy down because it rows better than the other dinghy. Everybody rowed up Black River for about two miles. The bank was made of reeds and mangroves. On the way back a cance with an out- board motor on the back of it came roaring down the river after us, it had on board a policeman and he took the Captain back to the boat because he thought that we were Cuban refugees. The Hornpipe left Black River and sailed beating into the wind to an anchorage near Bluefields. The deckhand, Mike and I went ashore and bought some ice . cream. March 11th, 1969 The Hornpipe motored up to Savanna-la-mar. We got there at ten o'clock in the morning. Everybody went ashore and looked in the shops. The Ist Cook bought two more masks. The deckhand and I went skin diving. I found two beautiful shells. March 13th, 1969 The 1st Cook bought a hundred and twenty oranges to last us a long time. The Hornpipe left Svanna-la-mar and motored out past the ship before we hoisted the sails. As we were sailing along the Hornpipe hit the bot- tom. But we came off as the surf lifted us. The Hornpipe anchored in Negril Bay. The water was very clear, March 14th, 1969 The Hornpipe left Jamaica and headed for the Grand Cayman Island. The wind blew up andthe sea became rough. By night it was blowing a gale. The jib ripped in half and we lost the radar reflector off the top cross- trees. March 15th, 1969 The wind died down a lot. We had a fair wind for the Grand Cayman Island. The captain sighted the lighthouse at the east- ern side of the Grand Cayman Island at midnight. March 16th, 1969 The Hornpipe dropped anchor at Georgetown at seven o’clock. Later we moved into the shore Where it was deep enough to get ashore without having to use the dinghy. Everything is ex- pensive in Grand Cayman Island. The water is very warm and clear. The Captain, the 1stCook LOCAL FARM EGGS THE OAKS POULTRY FARM DOWNEY RD.
