THE MASTHEAD

Jeanne r"rl1, co-editor

Thank you to everyone whosent cards and good wishes to uswhile Jim was in hospital. He ismaking a remarkable and quickrecovery; back to his cantanker-ous self in no time!

The 1989 Bamfield tourismbrochure is included with yourJuly Sounder, and u ,r"ry pro-fessional-looking job it is. Resi,dents will be outnumbered bytourists for the next six to eightweeks, sharing the salt air andthe dramatic summer sunsets.Wouldn't it be great if no onedumped garbage into BarkleySound this year.

I"ASERThe Barkley Sounder has had

an upgrade. Jim received alaser printer for his 67th birrh-day, so we now have cleaner,clearer terc and several differentfonts. As the world of desktopgublishing eirpands, people arabecoming more aware of fonts

and their esoteric names. Forinstance, this text is in what iscalled "Dutch Roman,', most ofour headlines are in sans_serif"Swiss Roman", ,'Letter Gothic"or "Brougham" and the linesbetween the columns are a onepfuel width. Remember whenDutch was chocolate, Swiss wascheese and one.pixel was wortha thousand words?

C-over ArtistOur July cover features a

heart urchin, a littl€ animalabout the size of a peach whichlives underneath Baitcley Sound.Like sea urchins, heart urchinsare usually covered with spines,beneath which is a lovely it.tt '

with a radially symmetrii patrernresembling a sand dollar. Un_like sea urchins, heart urchinsIive about 80 meters betow thewater surface, just under themud at the bottom of sea val-leys. Thank you to Dr. ArthurFontaine for lending us hisworking drapings of these ani-mals, known to their friends asBrisasur latifuw.

This meeting fs one of aseries being held throughout theprovince to solicit inpui as tothe best rnethod of handling:oilspills- After fully exploringlheproblem an$:heHing,tlrt meet-rpgs, Mr. lAnderson*wjll preparea report for the governmeni,reconrniEnding whatever actionspublic opinion_deems necessatyto protect rs from andthir spjjl.

. Yr, Anderson commenred o4the faei thar the public reaction'

Yf,jeitjy consi;tegt, It is a factof life !f?l oit,i1 gging'ro bemovip down 1ftc coast. What isneed6d is planning to make themoves as safe as posiiute and aplan for containing a spill if oneoccurs.

Comments to Mr.Anderson indicate that mostpeople feel that there needs tobe someone who is responsible.Whether it is a governmentagency or the private sector isnot clear, but someone needs tobe in .charge.

When the small spill occurred;_ otl our coast a few months ago,

our environment minister flew -in,looked around, commented onthe fact that it was not reallv hisproblem but a federal one, andflcw off into the sunset again.ft,may be a federal problim, butit is our coast.

In all fairness, Mr. Andersonimpressed me as a man rvho istaking his responsibilities serious-Iy. He gr'ves the impression thathe feels that action will be takento protect us from the danger ofa qhstrophic oil spiil.

I wiih him well.

WEST SIDEROAD

The issue of a road to theWest Side of Bamfield has notbeen resolved. A petition hasbeen circulated opposing theconstruction of the road. 106signatures of people who opposethe road were obtained. Copiesof the petition have been rent tothe Depr. of Highways offices inPort Alberni and Nanaimo, Thepetition has also been sent toMr. AI Benton, our regionaldirector. The following letterswere also received by the peti-tioners and have been forwardedto the appropriate authoritie$.

LETTERS

THE ROAD LINK BAIUFELDEAST TO BAI\{FIELD WEST "

Since 1970 when,I bougbtproperty in Bamfield"I haveconsistently tobbied against thisproposal. I feel it would be a

l0

short-sighted convenience for ahandful of reiidents at the costof permapent, ever u"""t"r"iin!disturbance 'of a life-style maniWest Bamfield residenis chosswhen they settled in this com-munity.

I see no advantages to thisproposal other than satisfactionof individual, personal conveni-ence and short-term economicgain of a maximum of ten entre-preneurial individuals at thisdate. I question the motives ofthese people, question theirattitude regarding their socialconscience and community re-$pect. I suggest their insistentwhining for what they see asprogress st€ms from ignorance.Th"y maintain road access isessential to maintenance andexpansion of tourist trade?

Out in the world Bamfield isknown as a recreational coastalvillage with an active fishingindustry. It is known to be-unique because it affords theexperience of sharing a glimpseof a life-style removcd fromnoise and pollution, both a by-product of the North AmericanAutomobile dominated socicty.

The people who have losithis life-style are bccoming aware

of their loss. Everywhere inurban societies steps are beingtaken to restrict automobile.traffic and its ensuing pollution ,

and waste. Only in Third Worldcommunities, those that have noexperience of the automobile asa t5nant, is indiscriminate intro-duction of traffic seen as a de-sirable advance into the twenti-eth century.

Bamfield is a tourist resourceprecisely because of its quietroads, clean air, orperience ofnature and humanity of life*tyle.There is NO reason why smallmanufacturing, industrial businessvenfures and those endeavourswhose success depends on easyroad access should not belimited to East Bamfield wtriitr islinked to Victoria and Port Al-berni by road already.

As for West Bamfisl6, thtdollars that have been rumouredto have been collected for aroad sptem linking it to theother side could vcry well bebetter spent on imprwing thecxisting road netrrork for:

a) Residents who use theirsmall tractorq trail bikes andjeepa to haul goods to theirhouses and businesses.

b) to the improvemenr ofexisting walking trails, the devel-opment of new ones for touristsand ourselves.

c) to dcvelopment of Bam-field's main tourist attraction:The Boardwalk.

The widening of the Board-walk would allow its use forbicycle traffic which could belinked by a bridge to East Bam,field. It would allow people tostroll side-by-side which at thistime is not possible. Some con-sideration could be given toplanning the aesthetics of theBoardwalk. The paint job couldbe kept up to dare, lightingmight be installed at waist levelinstead of the proposed over-head lights which defeat thepu{pose of lighting the areaunder one's feeg that vulnerableplace which causes you to slipon black ice, banana peel anddog excrement.

There are many improve-ments I could suggest to makethis village a more comfortableplacc for the tourist trade. AIIof them are mcre$r accents tothe,unique quality Bamfieldalrady has in a world chokingon the bl.products of industrial-ization. Tru'bi''Canp€r, general

automobile traffic does not qual_iS as.one of the suggestions toimprove what already is veryprecious.

EAST SIDEPARKING LOT?

I really believe, that BamfieldWest would lose a great deal ifa road were to go through.othpr communities in NorthAmerica and Europe have votedto exclude motor vehicles fromtheir midst, and I feel it'wouldbe entirely appropriate for Bam-field West to do the same. Atthe same time I would suggestthat the people on the Westside should contribute fbwardsthe maintenance.of- a".fiir,rking loton the east side in order tokeep their vehicles from bcing anuisance and burden for the castside residents. I hope this as-pect of the problem is also bc-ing considered.

Best wishes in your campaign.Yours sincerely,Graham Elliston

Dear Jim and JeanneNancy and I would like to

take this opportunity to onceagain say thank you to the peo-ple of Bamfield who made ourrecent wedding such a largesuccess.

We would like to say a sp€c-ial thank you to Henry Bostonwho per{ormed the service, Lor-etta Amos who provided the,accompaniment and the womenof the United Church l-adiesAtxiliary (Ebba Jennings, Inr-raine Heptrom, Bev Mclnerney,Babe Hegstrom, Irma Cashin,Z*na Robertson) who sliced,diced, chopped, baked, cookedand served their way into thehearts of all who attended.

John Mclnerney barbecuedthe salmon which Bob and BarbC.ameron had caught. I-aRaeBaker and Jeanne Ferris bakedthe inuffins Other people in the

community also contributed tottie meal; 'The flowers in thechurch were lovingly grown inkn and Ebba's garden. Kather-ine Jennings arranged the flow-ers in the church. larry andLynda Myres of Aguilar Housekindly donated a room in theirbeautiful inn for us to spend ourwedding night. Danielle Bakerwas very conscientious about get-ting people to sign the guestbook.

Our parents were the unsungheros of the day. They workedlong hours organizing and pre-paring in advance and spent afrantic day setting up. The wed-ding would have been quiteimpossible without their help.

It is with a grear deal ofregret that we leave Bamfield.We have lots of good memoriesof the people and their kindness.We will return to visit" but wher-ever we go there will be a smallpart of Bamfield with us.

PARKS CANADA![EI{S

The present superintendentof the Pacific Rim Parlg Mr. JimM"*yt, has been transferred toSaskatchewan. He will leave forhis new position in early July.

Mr. Masyk attended a fare-well gathcring held in Bamfieldat the Bamfield Marine Station,where he took the opportunityto thank the community for itscooperation during the five yearshe served in the.Pacific RimPark.

He ccngratulated the Bam-field Prcservation and Develop-mcnt Society on its initiative inobtaining grants to upgrade thetrails to Cape Beale and KeehaBeach.

1989 is the year when meet-ings will be held to determinethe direction the Pacific Rim ;Park will take in the future. Atpresent, the policy for maintain-ing the West C-oast Trail isaimed at making it a trail forintermediate and advanced hik-ers.

Day hiken have tno finealternative trails in Bamficjd. "

One goes to Cape Beale and the!other to Keeha Beach. Bothare interesting day hikcs and arcideal for pcople who are phyri-cally fit but not quite up tohiking thc West C.oast Trail.The C-ape Beale trail goesthrough Topaltos Beach, a fineplace for a picnic or a rest.The Cape Beale lighthouse isone of the earliest and mostbeautiful lights on the coast.The keepers are friendly and willgladly show visitors around thelighthouse.

The possibility of extenCingthe West Coast Trail to il'luriethe section from Cao:.g Rcls toBamfield is still under consider-ation. The original traii siartedin Bamfield and if tlre informa-tion booth was located in thevillage it could serve both hikersand visitors to the corr,munity.

Mr. Masyk's successor hasnot been chosen. We wish Mr.Masyk well.in his ncn' area ofresponsibility.

FAITH IN ACREATOR DOES NOT.DEPEND

UPON ADAMAND EVE, OR EVENGENESIS CHAPTER

ONEBY

REV. HENRY BOSTON

A battle has been takingplace in the United States *t ictillustrates the confusion in peo-ple's thinking about creatioir. AsAmerican law does not permitthe teaching of religion inschools some christians haveargued that the Genesis accountof creation is science, and shouldbe taught in schools as science.Some states have agreed andlegislated in favour of this idea.Evolutionists have been opposedand not all christians t"g;rdGenesis as science.

There is a need to distinsuishbenvein biblical taith in " "r1-ator andi the Genesis account ofthat faith. Some pcgpte.;uilpo*"that we believe in a creatorbecause we can read about thecreation in Genesis. But itshould be understmd that faithin creation came before Genesisrms written. The interesting

z7

quesdon is "How did faith in acreator arise, And when?"

Both Genesis and evolutionteach that humariity.appearedafter other things hab iome intoexistence. If" they are right thenthere was no one to *itness thisdevelopmenl so faith in a cre-ator either had to be miracu_lously revealed; or else deducedfrom observation of tbe waythings are.

Genesis was believed to havebeen written by Moses, untilmodern scholarship claimed thatit was compiled from varioussources by an editor at a muchlater time. In either case it wasnot written by a witness of thecreation: It was either miracu_

loTly inspired or ir was specu_lation.

The apostle paul taught rhatcreation was a self errident hctrecognisable from whait had'beencreated. He did not think tharfaith in a creator originated withthe uriting of Gencsis, but hewrote "Ever since the creation ofthe world his (i.e. God's) invis_ible nature, namely his iternalpower a1d deity has bcen ctearlyperceived in tbe rhing$,ttiat havibeen made." But thin,the apos_tle went on to say that owini to,

sin we had lost the ability todiscern the Creator in the cre-ation.

The tsraetites did not alwaysrecognise the Creator in hiscreation. The prophet Isaiahwas concerned with this. Hesaw a vision of God in thetemple. God was attended byseraphim who called to eachother "Holy, holy, holy is thelnrd of Hosts, the whole earthis full of his glory." The mess-age of the Seraphim contrasteddeeply with Isaiah's own percep-tion of things. He was aware ofsin. He had told the people ofJudah that their worship wasunacceptable to God becausetheir hands were full of blood.Now ovenrhelmed by his visionhe could only say "Woe is mefor I am lost; for I am a man ofunclean lips and I dwell in themidst of a people of uncleanlips." But he felt commissionedto give a message 'Tlear andhear, but do not understand;see and see but do not per-ceive;" When he asked horn,

long he would ha\rc to give thismessage he was told 'tJntil citieslie waste without inhabitant ...

and the l-ord remorres nen faraway." Survivors of this terrible

experience would be the seedthrough which the nations des-tiny would be frrlfilled.

About 150 years later theBabylonians conquered Judahand took all th€ young, strongand intelligent people into enleleaving behind only the old andweak. Another fifty years afterthat Babylon in turn wa$ con-quered by the Persians underthe leadership of C)rus, whopermitted the Israelites to returnto Jerusalem-

Cyrus's action was greetedwith ecstasy by another prophetwho had inherited Isaiah's tradi-tion. He anticipated the liber-ation which would attend Cyrus'sconquest of Babylon, and trium-phantly declared that prophecyhad been tulfilled. The tulfill-ment of prophecy proved thatGod was in control of history,and that he was in faa Creator.In poetic language he celebratedthe Creator's power, which isrecorded for us in Isaiah, Chap-ters 40 thru 45.

ln spite of this testimony theconsciousness that the Creator isto be seen in his creation hadfaded by the time of Jesus. Hereminded people of what Isaiahhad said, 'You shall indeed hear2'

Page 31:  · 2/7/2016  · The B1rT:t Sounder is printed monthly in Bamfi9ld, British Cotumbi4 ilanada. SuronO mail regisrration number 6014. p"AiiXdr" "t"rsor mailing - Bamfield, B.C. Subscriptions.may

but never understantJ, and youshall indeed see, but'never per-ceive." And he explained that

1!is'i3'why he taugit in parables.His parables were drawn fromlife and illustrate the truth thatgod is to be found in his cre-ation.

From Paul, Isaiah and Jesuswe learn thar the faith that Godis Creator was not revealed byGenesis I and 2, nor does thiifaith depend upon these chap-ters, but upon the reality of thetruth that God is indeed Cre-ator.

Isaiah wrote "'your are mywitnesses,' says the [.ord,'and hvservant whom I have chosen,that you may know and believeme and understand'." We arenof and cannot be, and nobodyever was witness to a creation atthe beginning, but we can bewitness to the faith that theCreatort laws must be observedif the planet is to survl've. Wecan also be witness to God'screative work today throughpeople who are being made ne*through the Spirit.

I had a meeting with WasteManagement Branch about twoweeks ago regarding our Gar-bage Dump. They arc adaman-tly opposed to maintaining aIrnd fill site in Bamfield mainlybecause the costs are too high

-

for a small community such asours to support. They favour

the hauling option. I was alsocontactcd by a second p€rsonwho is interested in bidding onany contract to haul our garbageaway, which makes me fcelsomewhat more optimistic aboutthe possibility of getting a fairlystable price for the hauling. Istill have to find our more aboutre-cycling possibilities, so I1lkeep you posted.

The village is becoming moreand more touri$t oriented. Theland being sold is going either tobusiness people looking for in-vestment in the tourist business,or to groups of people who wantthe land for recreational (mainlysports fishing) purposes. Inmost cases the business investorshave become permanent resi-dents of the community. Thepurchasers of the land who wantit for recreational purposes havenot become perrnanent residentsand have not added much to thevalue of the land. It is not in

3a

their best interest to increasevalue and therefore increase thearnount of taxes they must pay.

If the community is to growand provide schools and otherservices it must have permanentresidents. Owners of land wholive elsewhere and only use

Bamffeld as a place to come forholiday and for fishing do notadd to the school population.They are not too eager, either,to add to their tax burden bysupporting other services thatare needed by the permanentresidents. You can't blamethem for that.

However, the communityneeds to protect itself, wherepossible, from indiscriminaterezoning that allows recreationaluse of land that would be betterused for permanent housing.

Recent sales of land in SouthBamfield have been to groups ofpeople from outside t[e com-munity who want to ui.e the landas a site for campers and trailersthat they will use for dnly nvoor three months in the, year. Atpresent, the landi is zoned toallow some cottages to be builtif a main house is also con-structed. There is at least oneapplication to change the zoning

MIKEHARCOURT

Leader of theOfficial Opposition

School's out across B.C. Butthe legislative session continuesin Victoria. Here are recentcomments made by Socred gov-ernment members that cause oneto pause and think on warmsummer days:

.' "It's a terrific ad for the con-^ dom people, terrific." - BillVander Talm- The premier offers thereason he and the healthminister rejected a highly-acclaimed AIDS preventionvideo for young peoPle thatcost B.C. taryayers $100,000.(Somehow I thought that was

the idea of the ad.). "It's history." - Lyall Hanson.

- The labour and consumeraffairs minister insists the lie

he condolred regarding theKnight Street Pub referen-dum is old news. Perhapshe's also commenting on theSocred promise of open andhonest government.'Nobody is dragging theirfeet. It's go, go, go." - BillVander Zalm- The premier responds tocriticism his government is

stalling on the report of theroyal commission on fair elec-tion boundaries, released sixmonths ago. At this pace,

it's gone, gone, gone.

"I think that a lot of peoplefrom the city mwe to areaslike Langley so that they canget a horse for their young-sters, especially girls, whenthey're getting to their teenyears. They spend the timethat they might normallyspend hanging around streetcorners and giggling with theopposite sex.n - C.arol Gran.- A backbencher from [-angley explains the facts of city

.and country tife."When he becomes Healthminister, he can do it theway he wishes." - PeterDueck
