Sockeyes have shown lack
of drive since Christmas
BY MALCOLM LEGG
S.S.I. Sea Products Ltd. 1; Port
Alberni, 1.
As the soccer season has wound
down so have the flair and abilities
of the Sockeyes, easily exemplified
by the girls' 1-1 saw-off with Port
Alberni.
Prior to Christmas the Sockeyes
were almost invincible with their
only loss coming at the hands of the
highly tooted University of Victoria
squad. The Sockeyes combined an
- excellent attitude, good practices,
hard work and an excellently
executed system of play in showing
a class of soccer rarely seen in
Victoria.
But since the long lay-off over
Christmas the Sockeyes have faltered badly, not only in their record
(four wins, two losses and two ties)
but also in their attitude and style
of play.
The inconsistency of their play
is reflective of poor practice attendance, poor game attendance and a
lack of drive, something the girls
excelled in prior to Christmas.
ONLY 11 PLAYERS
Last weekend's game brought
out many of these points as the
Sockeyes travelled to Port Alberni.
The team could only muster 11
players off a roster of 18 for the
game, plus one newcomer to the
team for a total of 12 players.
The local girls played well
enough to gain the tie and actually
held the lead most of the way on a
goal from Shauneen Spence. That
one goal should have held up but
the team tired from 80 minutes of
soccer, with no bench strength,
and allowed a latei goal to create
the tie.
Gone are the Sockeyes' consistency and their winning ways, but
most disturbing is the loss of their
style of play. The Sockeyes have
always been renowned for their
excellent passing style and strong
positional soccer. Somehow these
have become something of the past
as the team has begun to play the
long ball and is content to rely on
individual runs instead of teamwork.
LACK OF PLAYERS
But, once again, a lot of this is
due to lack of player strength
causing line-up shuffles.
It has been a disappointing
spring for the manager and coach
of the team as they have tried to
rekindle the spirit and style of the
78 Sockeyes.
Even so, there have been some
bright spots: Janice Hull's solid
play in goal; the steady play of the
Sockeyes' defensive corps; the
sparkling play of Shauneen Spence
in offence; the rapid improvement
of youngsters Lynn Spittle and
Geraldine Hagan and newcomer
Brenda Akerman; and especially

Weekend jamboree to close
successful soccer season
BY MALCOLM LEGG
The Intra-island schedule came
to a close last weekend with its final
jamboree of the soccer season. A
successful season which started
seven months ago with 70 to 80
players wrapped up under sunny
skies at Portlock Park.
The season started with a record
number of teams: Cosmos, Red
Devils, Goblins, Wildcats, Hornets
and Junior Canadians, and a
record number of players ranging
fromfiveto lOyears of age.
The Canadians won thefirst jamboree in October and the Cosmos
came up with the November version of this event.
In F e b r u a r y t h e Cosmos
wrapped up first place in league
play over the Goblins and by midMarch the awesome Cosmos had
over-powered everyone to win the
Coers Cup as well.
But the final jamboree belonged
to the Red Devils, coached by their
master-mind, Lyle Brown, the Devils over-whelmed the Canadians 2-0
on goals from Mike Brown and
Mark Nordine, then nipped the
Hornets 1-0 on Mike Browns'long
shot and finally clung on to a 0-0 tie
with the Wildcats to attain the
ribbons.
CLAIMED THREE TIES
Probably the surprise of thejamboree was the Wildcats who
claimed three ties and looked very
competitive throughout. Jessica
Speed, Joey Moger and Jennifer
Anderson were stand-outs.
The Canadians faired quite well
behind their youth movement with
George and Bobby Akerman playing very strong games.
All the players were able to relax
and enjoy a free pop at the games'

end. Reflecting on their season the
boys and girls had a very full season
of games and a lot of soccer fun.
They have to thank their coaches,
Dave Chase, Chuck Nelkin, Ray
Stelter, Lyle Brown, Trevor Tamboline and Malcolm Legg who put
in many hours teaching the players
soccer skills and team-play. They
also must thank the youngsters and
adults who did an excellent job of
refereeing.
PRIORITIES
And what's in store next year?
The Soccer Association has laid
down some priorities for the intraisland such as:
1. A two-tier lay-out of teams
with Division 1 having players
seven, six and five years of age and
Division II having players eight
years of age and older,
2. New uniforms for all the teams
and shorts for all the players.
3. Every month will include an
I I-a-side match to prepare players
for off-island play.
4. Increased exchanges at this
Walkathon
to include
bicycles
New entrant into the world of
walkathons is the bicycle.
When the Lions stage their
annual Walkathon on Salt Spring
Island on April 14, the walkers will
be preceded by cyclists.
And the man who's making all
the arrangements is not even a
Lion. In charge of the cycle contest
will be Bob Simons, of Fulford, and
the Cycle Shop in Ganges.
The bicycle event will take over
from the chariots, which have been
discontinued. Cyclists may be
youthful and novices or ancient and
long-experienced. They may ride
two-wheelers or three-wheelers.
They may be racing cyclists or
plodders, but they are all invited to
take part, says Simons.
The Walkathon is the annual
fund-raising project of the Lions.
Major change this year is the
starting time. Walkers will leave
Centennial Park in Ganges at 10
o'clock on Easter Saturday. Cyclists will leave a little earlier.
There is one pre-requisite to
riding in the Walkathon. All cycles
must be checked out for mechanical defects before the start of the
event. Checking will be at 9.30 am.
In charge of the Walkathon is
Les Ramsey.

the next Fender Post and to
present them at the Parent Teacher
club meeting on April 9.
In response to comments on the
pupil/teacher ratios at the two
schools, Zacharias states that
Fernwood has 15.47 to one and
Pender 14.42 to one taking into
account the .2 teacher replacement
during the principal's administrative time.
Referring to suggestions by
other trustees that Pender's junior
secondary program is economically
unsound and should be discontinued, Zacharias maintains he is not
concerned with such "veiled
threats". He mentioned several
alternative systems which could
work quite well.

very pleased my colleague Mr.
Chabot has concluded arrangements for this necessary funding."
Mr. Chabot has worked with
Andre Ouellet, federal Minister of
State for urban affairs, in authorizing joint federal-provincial funding

The Fender Post monthly meeting on March 20 was special this
month in that members had a
birthday cake for Nep and Dorothy
Grimmer. In April Nep Grimmer
will be 90 years old. Dorothy's
birthday is in March but like all
women, she's not telling her age!
Both Nep and Dorothy attend
the
Fender Post
meetings
faithfully every month, and take
serious interest in the affairs of the
paper. The annual meeting was
held on March 28 in the schoolcommunity room. Nominating
committee, Dick Tallman and Ruth
Deaville, presented the slate of
officers.
For the coming year president
will be Miss M. Bailey; vice-president, S. Corbett; corr.-secretary,
A. Ross-Smith; secretary, Mrs. M.
Appleby; off-island subscriptions
will be looked after by Mrs. E.
Carey and on-island memberships
by Mrs. June Hall. The advertising
secretary will be Joan Llewyllen
and the treasurer, Gwen Stephens.

The Fender Islands Badminton
Club has had a lot of fun and a busy
year and is still very much enjoying
the greatly enlarged space in the
new school gymnasium area. To
those who played for many years in
the cramped quarters of the old
hall, the new space takes a bit of
getting used to in "running backwards"!
Twice this season the Fender
dub has visited the Salt Spring
club and three times the Salt
Spring club has come to Fender,
the last time on Sunday night
March 25. So far the Salt Spring
club has proved superior in competition but Fender badminton players plan to change this situation
soon.
Thursday morning when the
kids are in play school the young
mothers get a chance to play and
practice; others play Wednesday
and Sunday evenings.
The annual meeting was held
on March 20 and Tim Appleby, a
former B.C. badminton champion,
will be president; Ken Clarke is
secretary-treasurer. Team captain
is Mrs. Val Melville.

Lion's Club on Fender Island
has 30 members who do an awful
lot of work. For example, the Care
project, the Pearson Tree, contributed more than any other Lions
Club in the district.
Right now, it's the Easter Seal
fund they are working on. All the
money donated to this fund is used
to help handicapped children. A
camp on Vancouver Island for
crippled children is supported so
they can have their week at camp
just as other children do in the
summer holidays.
Fender Islands school children
have an opportunity each year to
compete for the Wally Cunliffe
Scholarship, which the Lions Club
administers.

NDP policies outlined by Manly
at informal meeting at Fender
On the day before the announcement of the federal election,
NDP candidate Jim Manly met 20
Penderites at an informal coffee
party organized by Andre Vasilev.
The gathering, held at the Port
Washington home of Mr. and Mrs.
Edmund Morrison, was part of a
tour the Manlys were making of all
the Gulf Islands.
Manly began by outlining the
four basic concerns of the national
NDP: adoption of a national industrial policy, Canadian control of
resources and basic policy, maintenance of universal medicare and
establishment of a fair prices
commission.
Responding to constituents'
questions, Manly commented on
subjects as diverse as agricultural
policy, mortgage interest rates, the
Canada Council, enforced retirement and pensions, milfoil spraying and nuclear development.
The party's national agricultural policy, Manly said, is concerned
with food self-sufficiency, establishment of marketing boards, and
development of technologies like
solar energy.
Regarding mortgage interest rates, he said the NDP would
like to see every financial institution set aside a portion of their
funds for low interest loans.
He also criticized the practice of
"interlocking directorates" in financial institutions and corporations sharing directors.
The NDP favours the Canada
Council continuing as an independent body to fund the arts. Manly
said, "I think it should have more
money; it's not perfect but it is
preferable to leaving arts funding
to private corporations."
While admitting the party
hasn't a perfect record on 2,4-D
spraying, Manly said he is against
it and fellow members are also
coming to the conclusion that
spraying on lakes is wrong.
"The party doesn't speak with
a single voice on nuclear development," according to Manly. There
are some powerful supporters in
the east, notably in Ontario where
the Pickering plant supplies much
power.
"But," he noted, "it is an
evolving situation and more and
more party members are seeing
that it is not the answer
"
FLEXIBILITY
Speaking on old age pensions
and retirement, Manly stressed
flexibility. He said the party is
moving toward lowering pension
age and advocated development of
policies to allow progressive retirement; shorter and shorter hours
to accustom people to retirement.
At one point, Manly found
himself defending marketing
boards to someone who claimed
they work against small producers
and Gulf Islanders in particular.
"I believe in family farms,"
Manly said, "and I also believe
that marketing boards smooth out
fluctuations in prices and try to
maintain a reasonable return for
producers."
In conclusion, Manly stressed
that the NDP wants to see a strong
central government to plan the
national economy but not to saddle
local authorities with a "choking
bureaucracy".

To move exclusion of Salt Spring Island
Regional director for Salt
Spring Island, Mike Cement, last
week echoed islanders' views on
transportation.
The director was acting on the
nearly unanimous call from islanders to oppose the inclusion of Salt
Spring Island within the transportation tax area.
Clement told his colleagues on
the Capital Regional Board Wednesday that Salt Spring Island
wants out. He gave notice that he
will move its exclusion.
He has not abandoned his
principles, he told the board, which
would have all the regional district
included. Nevertheless, inclusion
would work a hardship on the
island, he urged.
District last fall called for the
imposition of the three-cent gasoline tax throughout the islands
there was a protest which nearly
carried out into space.
Salt Spring Island is a brief
ferry run from the Cowichan
Regional District which does not
have a transportation levy.

Writing skills dismay ministry after tests of storm
Provincial assessment of writing skills in British Columbia
schools has brought about some changes.
In Saanich School District the
school board has required that all
teachers assess written assignments in the quality of their English composition as well as the
subject on which they are writing.
Provincial ministry of education
has assessed about 9,000 students
across the province. The analysis
of accomplishment in English is
not impressive, says the report.
Ability in "written expression"
at the end of secondary grades was
extremely disturbing the ministry
reported. Ability to write was analyzed and divided into a variety of
skills including spelling, punctuation, syntax, fluency in ideas and
association, proper selection of
words, focus, tone, the ability to
elaborate and other abilities.
Grade 12 students, according to
the government tests across the
province, were satisfactory in three
skills of the 31 assessed.
ABOUT 50%
Lower down the scale. Grade
Eight gave cause for concern, in
the ministry's own words. In the
testing program, Grade Eight students showed satisfactory corn-

In weeks the school was well away in English. In

The pattern had a second character to it. Every
time their crazy principal noted that they had a spare
period and invited them to name a subject, the
classes would plump for English. He had taught
them English and he had taught them to enjoy English as he did.
The school board was warm in its praise. He was

The deterioration of standards in
English occurs after the primary
grades. Tests had shown that students at the end of the primary
grades showed adequate command
of 18 of the 27 skills tested at that
age group.

He was new to the wilds of Vancouver Island
when he went to teach in a logging camp. In fact, he
was new to teaching in British Columbia. He had
previously taught in boarding schools in South
America.
The new school intrigued him. The students had
no faintest idea how to express themselves. As from
his first day in class, he instituted a new curriculum.
Until the students were up to the level of their grades
in English, no other subjects would be taught.
The dismay among students was almost measurable. For day after day after miserable day they studied English almost exclusively. It's no good
learning any other subject, said their crazy teacher,
until you can express yourself.
The inspector came to the school and expressed
utter horror. He recognized first degree blasphemy

and the choice between similarlysounding words, or homonyms.
The bottom skills were grammatical usage, such as agreement
between the subject and the verb
and the summary of the main ideas
of a passage. Sentence structure
and recognition of common
abbreviations were in the problem
area.
ALL PROVINCE
The results of the tests, Assessment of Written Expression, 1978,
were not broken down into school
districts or areas. The analysis is of
all students in the 9,000 assessed.
The report shows that other
areas in which tested students
showed poor results were the
organization of written work,
appropriate vocabulary, formats
of letters and envelopes, descriptive skills (such as the ability to
convey personality traits or to describe human features) and narrative writing.
Writing simple instructions,
organizing details and ideas had
also proved to be areas of weakness. Expository writing, completing forms or adjusting writing
tones to a specific audience were
not good.
BRIGHT SIDE
Grade Four was cited as the
bright side of the coin. Students in
that grade had shown themselves
to be competent in originality, capitalization and punctuation. They
could organize details and ideas
and support opinions or judgments. They could also give simple

GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD
For region's 210 miles of shoreline
They're off to Quebec April 19
Management plan
under way in region
Maximizing the existing benefits
of shoreland resources and
assisting in preserving those
resources are two of the goals of a
shoreland management program
for the Capital Regional District.
The program was begun last year
by the regional district in order to
develop a plan for the 210 miles of
shoreline in the region. The
program was p r o m p t e d by
problems that have arisen from
shoreland developments that have
taken place in the past:
• Soil erosion and pollution of
coastal waters from inferior
construction or development
practices.
• Interference with the natural
movement of shore materials to the
limited sandy beaches by structural
modifications in foreshore areas
such as groynes and bulkheads
(seawalls).
• E l i m i n a t i o n of highly
productive and sensitive wildlife
habitats.
According to a report from the
CRD, most of the program's work
so far has dealt with an inventory of
natural and man-made systems.
Examinations have been made of
vegetation types, fish and wildlife
distribution, soils and substrate
materials, wind and wave energy
velocities, shoreland geology and
hazards, shore types and visual
Gas theft
Charges are pending against a
man suspected of gasoline theft.
Last week Jack Clement of
Langley St. reported to the RCMP
at Ganges the theft of gas from a
tank on the back of his truck.
Charges follow police investigation.

Other progress made includes a
review of coastal programs in other
areas of the continent and
i n c o r p o r a t i o n of s h o r e l a n d
management policies in the Central
Saanich community plan. Coastal
research is being carried out by a
number of government agencies
and a public information program
is also under way with an audiovisual slide presentation and
graphic displays.
Following are the key elements
of the planning process as outlined
in the CRD report:
• Inventory of natural and manmade features and activities.
• Identify problems and
opportunities.
• Analyze use demands and
shoreland compatibility.
• Initiate public involvement.
• Develop shoreland management
goals and objectives.
• Formulate a shoreland
management plan.
• Implement the plan through an
official regional plan, community
plans, zoning and subdivision
bylaws, public land acquisition and
action programs.
The plan, the report explains,
would reflect not only shoreland
capability and anticipated use
requirements, but also the specific
goals and objectives of residents of
the region. Regional shoreland
policies would be developed and
guidelines established for future
activities within theshoreland area.
"This program is to a large extent
dependent on pu blic awareness and
acceptance, strong p o l i t i c a l
leadership, and ongoing planning
efforts," the report concludes.
A Driftwood reporter with a
camera had a tough time completing his photo assignment last week
when some of these young ladies
from Gulf Islands Secondary School
proved to be very unco-operative
subjects. However, they were not
at all unco-operative in their work
that day, which consisted of cleaning up Ganges. The girls picked up
enough garbage to fill more than
three Volkswagen vans.
Top picture was taken after
considerable coemion was used to
get the girls to pose. All but one
finally complied. From left to right
they are Sarah Wiebe, Mamie
Dammel, Tanya Van Ginkel and
Ellen Box in the front row. Behind
them are Ingi Terrunel and Leah
Wiebe. Hiding is Penny Wright;
The girls were cleaning up the
village hi return for donations from
local merchants to help with the
costs of their forthcoming trip to
Quebec. They will spend two weeks
in a French immersion program at
Trois Rivieres University.

Ganges Sales Representative
Urban Transit Authority has
ruled that the Gulf Islands are to be
included in the Capital Region for
the purposes of public transportation.
Chairman of the Salt Spring
Island Transportation Committee,
Ken Arnott, reported the authority's ruling when he addressed the
Salt Spring Island Trust Committee
on Wednesday afternoon last
week.
The transportation committee is
a function of the Trust.
The affirmation by the transit
authority was made at the request
of the Capital Regional District.
"It's the left hand shaking
hands with the right," he jibed.
The inclusion of the islands is
still under consideration by the
Minister of Municipal Affairs, added Ken Arnott.
"We haven't lost the war!"
Arnott remarked that he had
not found the ruling surprising in
view of the fact that both Saanich
Mayor Mel Couvelier and Victoria
Alderman Bill Tindall are serving
on both the transit authority and
the regional board.
