‘‘Turkeys are New. World
birds, indigenous here,’’ he
said, adding that fossilized
drumsticks had been = found
dating back 40 million years to
Oligocene times.

In fact,. turkeys were first
brought to Europe by Spanish
conquistadores in the 16th cen-
tury, said Hampson.

The new. delicacy was a. big.
favorite with Henry VIII, who
reportedly weighed a svelte 130
pounds before its introduction. .

‘“‘The Pilgrim Fathers, on

abundant, so abundant that
they sold in the marketplace for

Hampson.

However, because turkeys are
forest birds, as man expanded
and the woods shrunk, so did
the wild turkey population: The

years ago, said Hampson. |

THE REVIEW 9781-2nd St., Sidney B.C.

Sidney Mayor Norma Sealey blasted The Review for

‘‘unethical attempts to sabotage’’

the Port of Sidney plan ina

- 15-minute dissertation Monday night.
Pointing to last week’s Review coverage of council’s secret

meeting which sealed the fate. of the waterfront project,: |

_ Sealey lambasted both: the newspaper and ‘‘its informant,
for detailing in camera discussions.
' The mayor also took exception to charges that the informa-
tion was kept behind closed doors. ‘‘The proposal has always

been public,’’
with in.camera.”’

Quoting passages from the article, S$

she said. ‘‘Only negotiating strategy was dealt

zaley claimed the story

‘“smacks of an attempt to scuttle the whole project.”
Crediting council with scrapping the downtown revitaliza-

tion portion of the proposal,

she said, was- incorrect.

“Revitalization is not scrapped. The discussion stated it is not
considered at this time. Had the informant been present at the
meeting this would have been understood.”

The Review did not name its information sources.

As to charges of not returning repeated phone calls from
the Review, Sealey said she was away that Tuesday, at CRID
on Wednesday, away Thursday, in meetings Friday and.in

Vancouver over the weekend.

Moving the museum, the mayor said. is hardly secret. But
had the informant been at the meeting he would have
understood another motion pertaining to the feasability of
moving the brick building, not the museum.””

' “It’s surprising the informant didn't give the covering
minutes (to the Review) as well,’’ Sealey charged.

At the end of the meeting, the mayor handed out photostat
copies of a report prepared by a municipal lawyer which
points out legalities to consider should a council member
reveal discussions from an in camera meeting.

A “It points out a duty to the municipality, a legal considera-
& tion,’’ Sealey said. ‘‘It is considered a breach of trust.”’
