flowed, salmon processing and
the lumber business gave way
to sport-fishing and whale-
watching. The sawmill and tish
plant are now gone, as are the
old folks, but their tittle cot-
tages remain to cast a down-
home west coast aura of days
gone by,

And Wagner's vision just
might turn it all up-side down.
His plans to re-invent this litde
town as a major player in the
international tourism industry
might just swamp
Borrowman’s whales — and
Graham's cottage village in a
tidal wave of change. But there
are other considerations

Wagner’s project will spot-
light an area of the province
that is unknown to many

marketing of 8.C."s spectacular
marine parks and landscape,
and its historic past, makes
good business sense. The
charm of Telegraph Cove and
its accessibility to marine activ-
ities has the potential to attract
serious tourist’ dollars. This
means new jobs ia an area of
the province that is hard hit by
the sagging forest and fishing
industry.

Perhaps the challenge for all

the players is preserving the
traditional values of the origi-
nal townsite and protesting the
delicare marine environment
while embracing the benetits
of Wagner's viston. After all,
