CAESARS OF THE WILDRERNESS.

| By Peter C. Newman
One of my favourite. authors, Peter C, Newman, has
‘Just published his latest’ book. ‘‘Caesars of the—
Wilderness’’ is an interesting account of the conflict

‘between. the Hudson's Bay Company and the North”
West Company.

~ Newman's latest epic novel tells of the monopoly that
the Hudson's Bay Company held across Canada and
“the northwestern states. The North West Company
was formed by traders from Montreal that had banded’
‘together. This new company challenged the HBC. .
holdings and the feud came. close to breaking out into .
a full-blown war several times.

~- While our history may not be as old as some countries,
= It is Just as. colourful. ‘Caesars of the Wilderness’ is a
historical review of an extremely turbulent era-in our
country. It is an easy book to read but not so simple as |
“to: become mundane ‘for adult reading. | think that
many ‘readers. will find that after reading Newman's
_ new. novel, they will want to look Into more: of his”
‘works, — 7
‘Canadian history Is a subject that most of us are lack-
Ing In and to:have a Canadian writer supply us with in-
* formation is something we should be giving thanks for. -
_Mr,. Nawman has pointed out some of the differences
between Americans and Canadians -~ one area that.
we should follow their lead In is pride in our national.
heritage.

Bruce Obee has some
complaints for Central
Saanich council about
public pedestrian access to
Brentwood Bay. ‘‘There is
none,”’ he says.

Obee first made his com-
plaint known to council in
October 1986. In a letter to
council he pointed out ‘‘the
disturbing lack of safe ac-

_ cess to Brentwood Bay.”’

At that time he says he
was assured access would be
improved but saw no results -
and wrote again last Dec.
22.

Council took action: at
their regular meeting Jan. 4
by referring it to the public
works committee for _in-
vestigation.

Chairman Ald. Eric
Lewis says .a municipal
engineer. will be looking in-
to the possibility of building
a public access canoe ramp
to serve Brentwood Bay.

“I plan to .ask the
engineer where an ap-
propriate location. would

be,’’. Lewis said.

Lewis says. the engineer
will survey. locations, select
the best and estimate the -
cost of construction. The
matter, including .recom-

-mendations, will then go
_ back to council for Possibie

310,000, Lewis said.

“So what if it. costs
$20,000,’" commented
Obee. ‘‘People want to.see
the water and get there with
boats.

“tm talking about -a
pedestrian ramp that people
can use to wheel their boats
down to the water,’’ Obee
said.

“1 still struggle with my
canoe on my shoulders,
hoping I won’t slip and
break my back on the
treacherous trail beside the
ferry dock on Verdier.

‘*This situation is appall-
ing and  inexcusable.’’

There are private ramps
for boat launching in the
area, but Obee thinks the
municipality should provide
a public access for anyone
to use at no charge.

A site at the foot of Ver-
dier Avenue just south of
the Mill Bay ferry terminal
would be appropriate, Obee
says. The trail that.is there
now - borders a municipal
park and- would = give
children and senior citizens
