Sixty-six competitors will be vying for medals in one of the Olypics’s oldest events. The mod- em petathlon has been an Olympic event since 1912. “Tt was introduced to define the all-around sportsman as opposed to the decathlete who defines the best all-around track and field athlete,” said Gil Soellner. GRAVEL Continued from Page Al “The gravel has to come from somewhere. If we say, don’t take the gravel out of this hole, we’re saying take it out of someone else’s hole,” Cameron said. Jones said gravel removal is not an agricultural operation while Mar said the land commission controls the depth of soil and gravel removal. Council agreed to tum down the Pedersen application but to meet with the land commission and Ministry of Mines to discuss the conditions for soil removal and soil deposit permits. A project to enhance Canadian unity will take six Sidney repre- sentatives to La Baie, Quebec, next weck and bring a delegation from La Baie to Sidney from July 23 to Dy. Sponsored by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the exchange is financed in part by the Canadian government, which is picking up two-thirds of the airfare for participants. Federation of Canadian Munici- palities president Doreen Quirk said the program is designed to give municipal and community leaders a chance to exchange views on Canadian issues, “It offers a practical forum Council collects complaints about Calder pit operation Complaints about the Calder pit Operation were again raised by nearby residents at a June 29 Central Saanich council meeting. The terms of a new agreement allowing filling of the pit to con- tinue until September are being violated, residents:told council. They claimed trucks were com- ing in at 6:22 a.m., in contraven- tion of the allowable hours of operation, and during heavy rain, despite the agreement that no hauling would be done in the rain. Residents said they called police when the infractions occurred. Municipal engineer Al Mackey said staff were checking the opera- tion before 8 a.m. every moming and the gate to the pit has been closed. LIBRARY SCRIBBLER Continued from Page Al getting a little older, and crankier, too.” Most people who write in library books don’t leave them unusable by others. But one other person blacked out every foul word and reference to God in a novel. In others, notes are made in the margins, portions underlined or crossed through by borrowers. Books are cleaned up when possible, or shipped to head office if the damage is beyond repair. So far, about 150 books have been sent to head office for possible replacement. But, some are now Out of print and cannot be replaced, she said. Finding the people responsible for marking inside of books is not as simple as it may seem, Choin- ard said. “Contrary to popular belief, we hardly see the inside of books except while reading at home or looking things up for people,” Choinard said. The library checks previous bor- Towers when handwritten changes are pointed out, but, so far, no common name has emerged. The problem is complicated because it often occurs in books that are checked out of the library quite often. “We're not noticing any new ones and IJ imagine this person would stop after all the publicity,” Choinard said. “We thought this person would be devastated and would never come back to the library.”” She believes that before the publicity, many borrowers would put up with hand-written notes in - Margins without mentioning to staff. Now, numerous borrowers are bringing these items to the attention of library staff. “We received the occasional complaint before and we found a few ourselves.” “Whoever the person is, he has been doing it for the past six or seven years,” Choinard said.

Earlier complaints by residents tevealed there was no permit for the fill operation, which was reclaiming land once used as a gravel pit. A new agreement, concluded on June 12, allows Calder to continue the fill operation until Sept. 9. As part of the new agreement, Calder also paid permit fees for the past two years. Municipal clerk George Sawada said municipal trucks have not dumped in the Calder pit since May 28, when a load of brush was brought to the site. The municipality was charged $711 to dump the brush, Sawada added.
