Page 8 When Fred McCullough goes down to the Sandown tracks, there is only one horse he keeps his binoculars on — Charlesville. . Charlesville is a six-year-old thoroughbred McCullough and fellow Sidney businessman Peter Gregory ‘‘claimed’’ last September. ‘*There’s exciting than being down at the track and having your horse come in first, then going down to the winner's circle and nothing more having your picture taken,’’ he said, “1 find it relaxing. It’s really theraputic to go down in the morning and work with the horse.’’ It is a hobby to most of the people who get involved in the sport, McCullough explained, and a benefit to businessmen who find it a change from their usual schedules. “It’s such a_ peaceful, harmonious _ lifestyle,’? he said, ‘tA refreshing change.”’ OF CENTRAL SAANICH BILL ROGERS WILL LISTEN TO YOU GROUND ROUND [24% ‘SLICED SIDE BACON CHOPPED BREADED VEAL CUTLETS OVEN ROASTS TROUBLED BY HIGH PRICES ?

WEATHER WARNINGS WILL GIVE EXTRA SECURITY TO BOATERS Pleasure boaters and sme - aircraft pilots travelling between Vancouver and Victoria across the Strait. of Georgia will be provided with the extra security of high frequency bad weather warnings starting early next year. Norm Dressler, officer in charge of the Victoria Weather office at Pat Bay Airport said in a recent interview that the first 24-hour weather report transmitter in Canada is being built on Salt Spring Island. Its location on the 1,975- foot southwestern corner of Mount Tuam was chosen because it is the best for coverage of all the Vancouver and Victoria areas as well as most of the southern end of Georgia Strait, according to the expert, As well as providing continuous weather broadcasts the 30-watt transmitter will have a five to six second “‘tone- alert’, Dressler said. The unique aspect of the tone alert is that it can be heard when a boater, for instance, has his radio turned down low, The high frequency alert will give a special warning that an important weather message is to follow on the radio, On some units, according to Dressler, a flashing light or a loud buzzing will alert a boater or airplane pilot to perilous weather conditions. The only marine forecasts currently available are from radio, newspapers, and Canadian Coast Guard channels 21 and 26, which broadeast five or six daily. The new program of weather follows oa times transmission transport ministry report which recommended improvements in B.C. marine weather broadcasts and a July, — report ; continuous - 1976, coroner’s recommending weather forecasts on the B.C. coast. Continually weather information will be sent to the new transmitter from a control console at the Pacific Weather Centre in Vancouver, a spokesman for Environment Services in Vancouver said. Broadcasts will be recorded on tape. Transmissions, which are expected to start in mid- ‘. January, willinclude: eNormal public forecasts as . provided for radio stations; *Marine forecasts describing weather patterns and supplying detailed forecasts for Juan de. Fuca and Georgia Straits; *Marine reports § from lighthouse-keepers and other weather observers; eAn aviation summary for commercial or private pilots; eA cross-country weather summary of selected Canadian and U.S. Centres; eMountain weather- advisories for the B.C. coast and woutheastern Vancouver Island mountains. This latter broadcast, according to the Victoria spokesman, will be useful for skiers and mountain drivers, Placed on the site about two weeks ago was a temporary transmitter which is conducting tests to determine transmission range. It plays a tape asking persons who ean hear it to telephone or write the Atmospheric Environment Service in Vancouver, giving their location and type of radio equipment, ee ee Good quality copies of photos that appear in the Sidney Review may be pure chased fora nominalsum, Call vs at 656-1151 NOVEMBER Birthstone’.

McCullough said, and then it is up to the rider to handle the horse properly on the brief dash around the track.
