Appears in October 4, 1984 issue:
02-414-A-1. Pg. 12. Caption: Keith Sabey sent his 24 ft. totem pole down to its home in West Vancouver last week. Sabey has been working on the totem pole -- his sixth or seventh he says -- for the past three months in front of his home in Emerald Estates. It was made out of Western Cedar, the traditional wood for making totem poles among native people. At top is a thunderbird, followed by an owl, bear (with a salmon in its paws still to be added), hum and whale. Sabey says he doesn't painstakingly plan where he will place each figure -- he just "whittles away."
