Green - Editor Wednesday, March 11, 1970 Easy To Criticize It would be idle to suggest that last week’s meeting of SPARA publicity committee with the three Peninsula mayors and recreational com- mittee representatives was particularly helpful. A cautious approach to the SPARA curling and _ skating rink proposal is understood, and it is indeed — - prudent to examine the validity of any community - project whatever the source of its origin. | . But at an early stage it was apparent that certain of the delegates prefer a swimming pool for Sidney -rather than a recreational centre to serve the whole . of Saanich Peninsula. It was said with some em- phasis that residents of long standing know which recreational facilities are most suited to the _ climate better than persons who have but recently _ come to live in the area. An innocent. hypothesis perhaps, but niggardly and obstructive criticism hardly complimentary: in _-» some eyes. to Bob Parkinson and Oliver Salvador ~ whot were chosen for publicity roles because of their ie experience on similar recreational Projects _. elsewhere. . Tt is’ our. view. ‘that community- -minded: in- mee ‘dividuals, whether native sons or recent arrivals, : should be encouraged when they: give ‘of their time © and knowledge with good intent, especially. when — not teo long ago attempts. to provide swimming. pools i in both Staney ¢ and Central Saanich ended 1 in 1 “e ‘SPARA. has no of financial support. : thwhile facilities. It is reasonable to suggest that SPARA in due. _ time can promote the facilities that residents have now to travel up to 20 miles to enjoy, as long as the hesitant accept the dictum, “How much easier it is . to be critical than to be correct.” . Elsewhere, without doubt, there . are others ‘of the a same mind but with a more convenient location ‘in : ees “arbitrarily dismissed ‘con. “struction ofa. ‘pool if shown to be. financially feasible, but as a Peninsula project rather than on a. . _ local basis.

Take, for instance that March 1 crash on Douglas Street when. four youths in a small ‘ European car crashed head on inot a semi-trailer truck. All four were killed and .police,. who’ worked for an hour trying to free the bodies from the wreckage, were hindered by a crowd of curious sensation seekers. Such people baffle me. It’s so sad and sickening that human beings should act like that. But some do. whereever opportunity offers. They did when fifteen years ago there was a bad crash on Blenkinsop. Road and all’ four occupants of the car were killed. By. next day the stream. af sightseers. past where the ac-. cident occurred was so thick that a policeman was stationed there to control the traffic. Sweet grey- haired grannies being taken for a lovely Sunday drive! About twenty years ago, north of Ladysmith, a car containing four adults and. four’ children crashed. through the guard rail and fell into.a deep river pool. ~The same.kind of sensation day so they could watch the car and. eight sodden bodies being brought up. Equipped: with: their cameras and lunches, they set out early for a.merry day.

In my darker moments, I often think that if we had televised hangings in Canada the sensation seekers would be glued to their TV sets, drinking beer and eating party snacks. Gibbet, gallows, guillotine - all through history the same sort of people have gathered for a beastly kind of thrill. There’s tragedy enough in life, but there are always some who want to gloat over violent and unnatural death. Such people make 1 me sick. saree Me CH URC! ES PARISH OF NORTH SAANICH — .
