Council tours expansion area Town councillors went on a walkabout of the Port Sidney Marina and Third Street Monday moming to gather more informa- tion on the marina’s expansion bid. The jaunt took Mayor Marie Rosko and some aldermen along the waterfront behind the homes of _ Third Street property owners, most of whom are vehemently against a _ larger marina. It also took elected officials to an informal meeting with Kim Pullen, president of Granville West Capital Corp., the company seek- ing permission from the Town to expand. “We're just trying to evaluate the situation,’ Rosko said Monday afternoon. “It was just a sort of fact-finding situation where we are trying to get a better picture on the expan- sion,” she said. “We're just trying to get a handle on what’s best for the community at large.” Pullen said council members Lynn Hunter, MP Saanich-Gulf Islands invites all constituents to be watching Shaw Cable Channel 11 on July 11 ae 7:00 - 7:30 p.m. for her end of session report. There will be an open telephone line to allow constituents to phone in with questions or comments. NOTICE were responding to concerns raised by Third Street homeowners at a public meeting last month on Granville West’s plans. “They wanted to gather some more information on the proposed expansion, to get a better idea on the area covered in the expan- sion,” he said. He said he was available at the Town’s request to answer ques- tions, and that the meeting was not a formal one. In the meantime, Pullen is wait- ing like everyone else until the end of September, the time aldermen gave themselves to consider the controversial marina plans again.

St. Martin's Paperbacks. 471 pages. $6.99. | During WWII, Pocket Books began issuing paperbound editions | of books, sized to fit the upper left-hand pocket of the army shirt, to servicemen overseas. These paperbacks were compact, light to }: hold and thrilling to read. q While today’s bestselling paperbacks are often too fat to fit in a FF breast pocket, most are still light enough to take to the beach. From §: Pocket Books this summer there’s Deep Sting by Charles D. Taylor (author of Boomer), described as “naval suspense at its best,” and ‘ set in local waters. While the world is relaxing under the spirit of glasnost, Nicholas Koniev, a Soviet warrior, is leading a mission into the American submarine base of Bangor, Washington - home of the Trident missile subs. In September, the thick semi-sequel to The Shell-Seekers (1988), Rosamunde Pilcher sends a brace of interrelated highlan- ders invitations to a ball - to be held one Indian Summer night at a manor house in a Scottish village - and then shows what happens in the months before. In fact, nothing happens, slowly. Pilcher’s main character, an elderly gentlewoman, watches her garden grow; her dog “spends a penny” for two pages on a moor. Fans of The Shell-Seekers will be left wanting more. Nearly a hundred pages go by before there’s any genuine suspense, and by then the reader has only the dimmest interest in Winnie Farlowe, the alcoholic ex-cop protagonist of The Golden Orange. Even when he meets a sexually spirited divorcee from Newport Beach, capital of California’s Golden Orange, the novel fails to catch fire. Considering Wambaugh’s previous successes Echoes in the Darkness, 1986; The Blooding, 1988) one career strikeout is not a bad record.
