Jim Stevens recalls
80 years on Salt Spring
By GRAEME THOMPSON
Driftwood Staff
Most people's memory of
appendicitis includes pain, a trip to
the hospital, anaesthetic-induced
nothingness and then a return to
normality. That's not how longtime islander Jim Stevens remembers it at all. And he's had appendicitis twice.
In thel920s, when Stevens contracted appendicitis for the first
time, it was a serious condition.
Many died from it. Stevens
remembered the pain, and a trip to
the island's doctor, Dr. Lawson.
But there was no anaesthetic.
Instead, he was given a prescription of mineral oil.
"I didn't like the mineral oil,"
he recalled. "It sapped all my
energy."
He said he was good at the 100yard dash before he got appendicitis. After the mineral oil regime,
though, he never got his wind back.
But he did keep his appendix and
lived to have appendicitis again.
Jim Stevens' family came to
Salt Spring Island in the late
1880s from south-west England.
Steven's uncle, Frank, arrived first
and had a house built near Central.
Known then as Stevens' Boarding
House, it was the only hostelry on
the north end of the island.
"Mr. Bullock landed at the
boarding house when he came to
the island," Stevens said. "Before
him, Rev. Wilson. Then Mr. (Fred)
Crofton. All the old-timers."
Stevens' father was Walter,
Frank's younger brother. He
arrived on the island about 1889.
He helped build houses and clear
land and raise a family of six children. Jim was the second oldest,
and the only son.
One of his favourite pals was
Sam Beddis, who was about his
age. The Beddis family had been
very friendly to the Stevens when
they arrived from England and the
friendship lasted through the generations.
"Sam was pretty good at doing
things," Stevens said. "He used an
old bicycle to make a paddle
wheel for the raft. We would stay
overnight on the beach. We would
catch the loveliest salmon —
spring and other."
Later the boys had a clinkerbuilt
boat with skiff sides and halfmoon bottom. Beddis put an old
Evinrude single cylinder motor on
it. Before that they used an old
blanket for a sail. They would load
up with cooked spuds and bacon
and row across to Prevost Island,
jigging for cod in the kelp beds
offshore. Fish they brought home
was canned.
When he wasn't out fishing
with his friend, Stevens was helping his father log on the island, an
occupation he pursued on the
island briefly before and after the
Second World War. Choking,
falling, bucking, skidding — these
are all terms Stevens knows from
his days in the woods.
"It was hand-falling in those
days," he said, thinking back 60
years. "A falling saw is a lighter
saw, usually six feet long. It's
lighter than a bucking saw. You'd
use an ordinary chinook for bucking and a Royal Chinook for
falling. It's better tempered."
He remembered learning how to
make a springboard hole, for the
board that loggers would stand on
to get high enough to reach above
the really hard base of the tree
trunk. And he also learned the
intricate calls of the whistle-punk,
when he worked with a team on a
steam donkey operation.
"The whistle-punk blows the
whistle to let you know about
what will happen with the log," he
explained. "He would give a signal to the donkey puncher — different signals for different things:
three toots for the main line; a
trilling sound meant slack everything down."
"You had to be accurate," he said.
But in the 1930s, Stevens' interest in things mechanical took over
from a career in the woods. He
worked for Robin Justice at his
garage in Ganges and took a
mechanics correspondence course
by mail. It was a course ran by the
Motor Institute of America in
Evanston, Illinois.
"It was a really thorough
course," he said. Sheets of material would come in the mail on
every aspect of the motor car,
even electricity.
AT HOME WITH THEIR DOG: Jim Stevens was born on Salt
Spring and has spent most of the last 80 years here, including
50 years with his wife, Olive. Jim Stevens has alternately
worked as a logger, with provincial highways and on the ferWhen war broke out in 1939, he
wanted to be in the air force, working on airplane engines.
Unfortunately, everybody else did
too. And when the recruiting officers saw his experience in automobile engines, he was fast-tracked to
a job as MMMT: Motor Mechanic,
Mechanical Transport.
Off he went to Ottawa.
He spent much of the war looking after "ref-tenders" or singleaxle trucks which hauled 800 gallons of airplane fuel at a time.
Stevens had a knack for starting
these particular trucks in the cold,
for which his immediate officer,
Eddie Bedard, was ever grateful.
"You had to do a certain thing
to get them to turn over without
having to tow them around the
yard," Stevens said. Strange as it
may seem, Salt Spring winters,
and the bit of snow that stuck to
hilly island roads, was good training ground for driving these large
fuel trucks in Ottawa.
He returned to Salt Spring after
the war with a new wife, Olive,
and a baby daughter. His wife fell
in love with a six-acre piece of
property on Atkins Road, where
they have lived ever since.
After returning to logging work
for a short while after the war,
Stevens started working for the
local highways crew in 1953.
Most of the main roads had been
put in by then — he remembers
the first island road foreman, Joe
Akerman, in the 1920s, and when
Fulford-Ganges Road was gravelled for the first time in the
1930s— but there was still ongoing maintenance. And FulfordGanges Road was constantly
being improved by making corners smoother and banking lanes.

Stevens photographed
by young artist —Karsh
PENSIVE MOMENT: This photo of long-time residents Jim and
Olive Stevens was taken nearly 50 years ago. They met in
Ottawa during the war and moved to their present property
on Atkins Road, where they raised three children.
When Jim Stevens met his wife-to-be, Olive, in Ottawa, she was working at the city's premier hotel, Chateau Laurier.
In the time-honoured custom of courting couples, they wanted to
exchange pictures of one another. To that end, Olive recalled walking
across the street from the Chateau into a tiny two-room studio to have her
picture taken. It was run by a man named Karsh. Josef Karsh.
"It was just a little studio, with a dark room at the back," she
recalled. This was the beginning of what would become the most
famous portrait studio in Canada. Karsh's work put Canada on the photographic world map.
But when Olive walked into the Karsh studio, all that was well in the
future. She sat down and had many pictures taken before Karsh said she
could go. A few days later, she picked up the photo she would give to Jim.
A few days later, however, on her way to work, Olive noticed something different about the small studio window across the street from the
Chateau Laurier.
"He put my picture in his window," she said, still with a hint of embarrassed indignation. "I couldn't go down the street. I had to cross to the
other side. I was so embarrassed."
After aiew embarrassed weeks, Olive phoned Mr. Karsh up and asked
him to remove her picture from the display window. He complied with
her request and that was the end of it.
A DAY'S CATCH: Long-time
resident, Jim Stevens, pictured here on the right, spent
many happy hours on the
waters around Salt Spring
Island with Sam Beddis, left,
scion of the family which
homesteaded at Beddis
Beach. Beddis was killed on
active duty in the navy during
the Second World War.

Erudite "darling" dog makes a library of the dailies
Every dog has his day. I learned
that aspect of a dog's life when I
was in school. Until now I have
accepted it in passing. Why not?
What I cannot accept is that
every dog is entitled to his newspaper. Still less to mine!
The crux of the matter is that
Darling is no darling in my book.
Each morning, early, I get a newspaper. It comes to me wrapped
and ready for reading.
Until a week or so ago. I was
away for a few days and I had forgotten to broadcast the fact. I
returned home refreshed and eager
to find my collection of dailies.
But not a paper was to be seen.
A few days later I was suffering
the agonies of post-flu shottism
and I elected to remain within the
house. Outside was resting my
newspaper. Later in the day I
decided to recover the paper. But
there was not a page to be seen.
Where earlier had lain my target
was nothing. 1 naturally condemned my family and my guests,
but that didn't help overly much.
Inspiration came only when my
neighbour called to enquire at the
state of my temper. Had I lost
some papers? asked Eric
McMahon. I admitted my loss and
he was very apologetic, but he had
found evidence around his garden.
STEVENS
From Page B1
He became good at driving
trucks on Salt Spring, especially a
'57 Dodge with a four-yard box
which belonged to the highways
department.
"I really liked that truck," he
recalled. But though he thought it
was a well-made vehicle, occasionally the brakes would fail. He
cites his "quick reflexes" for preventing disasters. He put lfXLOOO
miles on that truck before the
provincial government figured its
time had come and replaced it
with a "darn Mercury" which only
had a three-yard capacity to boot.
While Stevens retired from highways in 1974, and then retired from
B.C. Ferries a few years later, he
stayed active by breeding Shelties.
Many islanders will remember his
patience and firmness running dog
obedience classes.
Today, he stays active with t'ai
chi Monday morning, carpet
bowling in the afternoon and fivepin bowling Friday. Old Dr.
Lawson's mineral oil clearly did
not sap all his energy.

island volunteer fire department in
the October issue of the veterans'
magazine "Legion".
Two pictures of islanders
appear in the magazine.

from Bill Monahan and Betty
Gait, president and past-president
of the island Legion branch.
Jeff Outerbridge, Rick Bahry
and Pat Shouldice are seen taking
part on behalf of the fire department.
Furthermore, he accepted the
blame for his dog's peccadilloes.
That the errant dog answers to
the uncommon name of "Darling"
is neither here nor there. And it
surely doesn't answer me.
I remember a fellow who named
his dog "Damn You!" and enjoyed
the raised eyebrows when he was
heard addressing the animal.
Damn You was a well-mannered pooch, thereby disproving
the adage about giving a dog a bad
name. And that animal not only
didn't read, but made no effort in
that direction.
So what's for Darling who is
obviously building up a fair
library as far as dog's libraries go?
I have the answer. I shall write
to Darling, myself, in the strongest
possible terms to tell him, or her,
to lay off my paper!

missing one of the one-way streets
and never being quite sure how to
get back into Ganges.
There is not the slightest question but that Ganges, denied the
aid of the ministry, might yet be
that odd little rural community it
thought it was.
But why are we denied traffic
lights? If Ganges is to be the great
city of Salt Spring Island, why no
traffic lights? Just think of a
Ganges with traffic lights at every
intersection! We could imagine
ourselves on Vancouver's

The guests were clearly divided
into two categories. There were
those who were my own age and
whom I knew and whose names I

UNICEF drive begins this weekend
SHOPPING EARLY: Islanders Norma Eves, left, and Margaret
Haines, look over the cards and gifts UNICEF has put out for
1994. These items will be on sale at various coffee parties in
November.
For islanders trying to figure
out what meaningful gifts to buy
friends and relatives for
Christmas, the UNICEF catalog
has arrived. And Hallowe'en
means volunteers and trick-ortreaters with official boxes will
be asking for donations this
weekend.
Beautiful cards — including
First Nations' designed cards —
are the specialty of UNICEF, but
the development aid organization
which operates in 128 countries
around the world has more than
just greeting cards. There are
delightful educational games for
children aged three and up. Wall
and desk calendars, mugs and
jewellery are just some of the
items which make great gifts and
help make real changes in people's lives in developing countries.
Island organizer Margaret
Haines said she got involved in
UNICEF because it is a grassroots organization which depends
on volunteers to raise money for
the work it does. UNICEF has a
good record for ensuring the
money it sends to aid projects
around the world actually goes to
the aid projects, and not to government officials along the way,
Haines said.
Most UNICEF projects around
the world are related to providing
clean water and sanitation for children and families.
"You can't have healthy kids
and communities without safe
water and sanitation," she said.
"UNICEF is doing a lot of work in
Rwanda right now."
Last year, islanders gave about
$400 during the annual
Hallowe'en pub crawl. Children

Host families needed for next year's
Rotary Club foreign exchange students$1,236,000
Salt Spring Island Rotary Club
is looking for host families for
next year's exchange students.
While the student would not come
untii next August, organizer Allan
Bruce said last week the club
needs several host families in
place by mid-November.
The Rotary Club is the largest
service club in the world, Bruce
said. The aims of the club include
spreading international understanding and improving world
relations. As well as financing a
number of development projects,
notably water-drilling in places
like the Philippines, the club sponsors this international student
exchange program.
Islanders may remember Lars
Thoroe, a student from Germany,
and Rekha Rao, from India. They
were the most recent Rotary
exchange students.
"Most of the 25 years we've
been in existence on the island,
we've had Rotary exchanges,"
Bruce said. Some 40 students have
come to the island in that period,
and Salt Spring has sent away the
same number.
But this year, no host families
David
Rainsford
Plumbing &
Pumps Ltd.
were found and so no students
could come. That is one reason
Bruce wants to get started on the
program for next year.
The long term exchange program runs from August to July, he
said. The Rotary also offers onemonth exchanges, but Bruce is
looking particularly for host families for the year-long program.
Exchange students must attend
school and are usually in grade
12 when they arrive on the
island. Salt Spring Island is in a
Rotary exchange zone which
includes part of Washington
State and the whole of
Vancouver Island.
Candidates for the exchanges
are not necessarily members of a
Rotary club or children of members, but are carefully selected by
their local club for qualities of
leadership, skill at speaking
English and their ability to make
the most of such an exchange. The
Rotary club receiving the student
gives him or her a monthly
allowance and remaining costs are
born by the student, who might
raise money in his or her hometown for travelling expenses and
spending money.
Students do not spend their
whole twelve months at the same
house. They move around every
two or three months, Bruce said,
getting to know more than one
family. The club likes its host
families to have children, but that
is not absolutely necessary.
Families must enjoy the stimulation of having a foreign student in
their home.
"It's nice to have a foreign student stay with you," he said.
"They learn about us. We learn
about them."
Students are often quite
involved in island life - Thoroe
was active in sports; Rao, in
drama - and the host family will
have to adjust to the needs of their
student, as they would their own
child. They must also be prepared
to act as surrogate parents for the
student on occasion, though
Rotary Club members look after
the student's welfare too.
Anybody interested in being a
host family for the 1995/96 school
year should contact Allan Bruce at
537-5553 or 537-2799, or any
other member of the Rotary Club.
Over the past 26 years
our reputation for
dependable efficient
service has been well
established among
Salt Spring residents.
trick-or-treating last year collected
more than four times as much:
$1,662. In addition, islanders
spent between $3,000 and $4,000
on UNICEF merchandise, including cards, calendars and gifts.
Watch for kids with UNICEF
boxes on Monday night and look
out for advertisements of UNICEF
coffee parties where UNICEF
cards and merchandise can be purchased before Christmas. The first
one is on November 3.

Pre-schoolers revel in creative loft
established by a "community effort"
Gulf Islands Secondary School
students may have a beautiful new
learning space, but so do the 30
children of Salt Spring Island Preschool.
Part of their two-room school in
the Community Centre was
recently transformed into an 8 foot
by 18 foot "loft," but as pre-school
parent Helen Meurer observed last
week, it is much more than "a big
shelf with a ladder up to it."
The loft's design promotes the
imaginative work of its three and
four-year-old users, with a play
office currently set up in one section. Underneath another part is a
dress-up comer which has already
been transformed into a restaurant,
campground and hospital.
The loft's design
promotes the
imaginative w o r k
o f its three and
four-year-old users,
w i t h a play office
returned to the school after an
eight-year absence. When she saw
some preschool floor space had
been lost by a renovation, she suggested constructing a loft similar
to one at the Little Red School
House Pre-school.
Her idea was floated at a school
meeting, and Suzanne Darwin volunteered the design services of
husband Rodney.
The loft is made primarily from
red cedar donated by Ross
McLeod of Deluxe Contracting
Ltd., and Keith Shantz of Cabinets
for Kitchens planed each piece of
wood. The project also received
donations of cash or materials
from Pemberton Holmes, Salt
Spring Insurance Agencies,
Windsor Plywood, Mouat's Home
Hardware, Burrit Bros. Carpets
and Calypso Carpet.
Barbara Haydon was project
coordinator, and Lou Walsh oversaw the volunteer crew of fathers
building the loft.
Between August 23 and
September 2, 10 pre-schoolers'
"dads" tackled construction and
six "moms" did the painting and
varathaning.
Haydon said the generosity and
support received for the preschool's loft would not be forthcoming in all communities.
But on Salt Spring, she said
"I'm sure everyone knows of
someone who will benefit from
this project."

Works department approvesfiitureCentennial Park
Thirty years ago
October 16', 1964
• The Chamber of Commerce's
application for a lease of the fill
area next to the new boat basin in
Ganges was approved by the
Department of Public Works. The
chamber planned to use the site
for a park. Plans called for the
park to be developed as a centennial project for the 1967 100th
anniversary of confederation. If
the park was approved as a centennial project, then federal and
provincial funds would be available to develop the site.
Suggestions for the park included a small parking lot, a ramp leading to the dock, a grassed area with
shrubs, a foot path, benches and a
children's playground. Ed
Stephenson asked to have a lawn
bowling green included in the park.
Twenty-five years ago
October 16,1969
• Sixteen pigs and seven rabbits
were the prey for contestants in
the second annual greasy pig contest. John and Mary Stepaniuk
supplied the 16 six-week-old
greased pigs while Joyce Roper
supplied the rabbits. Children who
sold the greatest number of tickets
on a draw for hams were invited to
join the scramble to catch a pig.
For younger children, the goal was
to catch a rabbit. Top catcher of
the day was Ian Kyle, who won a
bicycle for selling the most tickets
(88) and also grabbed a pig.
Eleven children caught pigs. They
were: Colin Byron, Michele
Larson, Alex McManus, Debbie
Woodley, Danny Fraser, Janice
Ryles, Tom Langdon, Sandra
Williams, Brian Bogdanovich,
Bobby Empey and Kyle.
Adult catchers were Kathy
Williams, Mrs. Syd Fraser, David
Williams, John Helme and Andy
Mitchell. The adults bid at an auction for the right to chase a pig.
Rabbit catchers were Leah
Kaye, Gordon Miller, Elizabeth
Ronne, Warren Kyle, Cindy
Howard, Danny Reynolds and
Stephen Anderson.
Master of ceremonies was radio
personality Jack Webster, who
had acquired a home on the island.
The event raised an estimated
$800 for Centennial Park.
• Construction of a new 10room elementary school for Salt
Spring was approved by trustees.
The site of the new school would
be determined by the concentra-

YEARS
tion of population growth on the
island. The project, estimated to
cost $350,000, would go to referendum that December.
• An estimated $60,000 worth of
business was brought to the island
by tourists, according to a report to
the Salt Spring Island Chamber of
Commerce. Vice-chairman Joe
Nickerson said 1,460 tourists
dropped into the information
bureau during the season.

October 16,1974
• Smoking in bed was the cause
of a fire which killed a 38 year old
Ganges woman. Norma Lisa Allan
died in her home when her bed
caught fire. The alarm was sounded Sunday morning when a King's
Lane neighbour heard the windows blow out in the adjoining
duplex suite. Allan was still alive
but suffering from extensive
burns. She died shortly afterward.
She was believed to have been
overcome by fumes before she
could escape the fire.
• A six hour rescue effort was
required on Mayne Island to help
a 14-year-old girl trapped in a
rock crevasse. Janet Ebert and a
friend were walking through the
bush at Campbell Bay when
Ebert slipped into a crevasse in
the rocks and broke her leg. She
was trapped in the rock cleft and
could not get out. Her friend ran
for help but did not reach a home
for half-an-hour. The Mayne
Island Fire Department, the island
ambulance and a number of volunteers joined the effort. It was
dark before they found the
injured girl and fire chief Paddy
Lambert was able to slip into the
rock opening and put a splint on
Ebert's leg.
The rescuers then lifted Ebert
out of the cleft, placed her on a
stretcher and moved her down a
60-foot cliff to the beach, where
she was transferred to a boat for
the trip to Lady Minto Hospital.
Two days later, she was home and
recovering from her injury.
gasoline tax for transit services
without also providing bus service. Curtis noted the cabinet
could suspend any enactment by
the Urban Transit Authority. He
commented on the issue at a
public meeting. Island residents
had opposed a plan to add a
three cent tax to gasoline in the
Capital Regional District in
order to raise more money for
public transit. Of the 300 people
who responded to a Driftwood
survey on the issue, 99 per cent
were opposed to the tax.

• A proposal to make Musgrave
Landing a development permit
area was set for public hearing
Halloween night. The development permit designation would
give the Local Trust Committee
more power to negotiate proposed
subdivisions in the area. Included
in the proposed development permit area were the Kellogg estate
and the Rico Holdings properties.
Five years ago
October 18,1989
• Gulf Islands school district considered buying property at the corner of Churchill Road and Rainbow
Road as a future school site. Board
chairman David Eyles predicted
both Salt Spring Elementary and
Gulf Islands Secondary would need
replacing, since both structures
were outdated.
• Salt Spring Islanders joined a
300-person demonstration against
high noise and pollution levels at
the Crofton Mill. Participants
gathered at the Crofton dock and
walked two kilometres to the pulp
mill, where they heard a slate of
speakers, including Randy
Thomas of the Green Islands
Society and Sue Hiscocks of the
Sierra Club.

Upper bunks may not be safe
Health Canada recently issued a
warning that the upper bed of bunk
beds can be hazardous when used
for children under six years of age.
There have been nine reported
deaths in Canada since 1985
involving children under six using
the upper bunk.
In most cases, children slipped
feet first between the guardrail and
the mattress and suffocated when
their heads did not pass through
and their faces were pushed into
the mattress. In addition, falls
have led to hanging when the
child's head became entrapped
between the mattress and the wall.
The distance between the lower
edge of the guardrail and the
upper edge of the bunk side
should not exceed nine centimetres.
Health
Canada
advises
Canadians purchasing a bunk bed
to check that the side along the wall
is also equipped with a guardrail.
They should look for warnings on
the product and follow them carefully. Mattresses on upper and
lower bunks should fit snugly on
all interior sides of the bed.
Children should always use a
ladder when climbing to and from
the upper bunk. They should avoid
horseplay, which causes the
majority of injuries associated
with bunk beds. In the case of
imported tubular metal bunk beds,
parents should examine the welds
for cracks. Usually, these metal
bunk beds do not have any brand
or model identification. Metal
bunk beds with weld cracks
should not be used.

FLOWER FANTASY: A semi-abstract representation of a
flower-laden window box, this quilt was created by members
of the Salt Spring Island Fabric Guild. Susan Ayers (above)
quilted the piece which was donated for a raffle to support
breast cancer research.
«»«>t*vi*>n.Lenno»
Guild gives 450-piece quilt
A fabric mosaic of two-inch
squares suggesting the work of
impressionist painter Claude
Monet is the latest creation of the
Salt Spring Island Fabric Guild.
On Friday, the detailed quilt
was turned'over to the Canadian
Cancer Society for use as a raffle
prize. Money raised by the raffle
will go towards research into
breast cancer.
Fabric artist Donna Johnstone
said the choice of charity seemed
appropriate, since all of the guild
members are women. One member had a mastectomy and others
have relatives who experienced
the disease.
At least half of the guild's 20
members worked on the three-byfour-foot quilt, creating the 450
pieces which form the quilt's image
of a flower box filled with flowers,
a window and a sky beyond. The
quilt is designed for use as a wall
hanging, Johnstone noted.
She kept the quilt pieces in her
studio over the summer and said
assembling the sections was like

Once all the sections were completed, Susan Ayers quilted the

All of the pieces were donated
by fabric guild members, who

To create the sense of glass

OAPO
regbn meets
atFulford
By MARGARET BAKER
The South Vancouver Island
region of the Old Age
Pensioners' Organization of
B.C. convened last Tuesday
when Duncan, Ganges, Sidney
and Fulford branches met at
Fulford Hall.
Region steward Doreen
Dibnah was present and
reported that she had visited
branches in Sooke and
Victoria, as well as the branch
at Satuma Island. This branch
is somewhat out-of-the-way,
and its delegates to regional
meetings find it difficult to
attend due to ferry schedules.
However, this branch is very
active and aware of the aims
and objectives of the OAPO.
Although the OAPO is nonpolitical, Dibnah said its members are deeply concerned with
the welfare of all seniors, paying special attention to actions
of federal and provincial governments that touch upon the
affairs of senior citizens.
During the lunch break, a
video was shown featuring Ben
Swanky, the keynote speaker at
the June annual convention of
the B.C. OAPO in Williams
Lake. The next regional meeting will be held in Duncan in
February.

What's the difference?
By GAIL SJUBERG
Driftwood Staff
Chinese practitioners of martial
arts were historically bound to
keep their treasured knowledge secret. In North America these days,
there is more likely to be confusion about differences between the
most popular martial arts.
While judo is frequently spoken
in the same breath as "karate,"
Salt Spring Island certified Level
II judo instructor and black belt
Thom Quine points out it has
more similarities to the sport of
wrestling.
Throws, flips, trips and
wrestling on the ground are some
of the maneouvers practiced in a
judo class between two opponents. And they are used most effectively with delicate force. Judo,
in fact, means "gentle way," says
Quine. Knowing how to release
one's self from an opponent's
hold and re-direct an attacker's
energy is a major part of judo
technique.
Pat Byron has a black belt in
Shotokan karate. His classes emphasize learning "kata" - the series of hand, arm, body and kicking moves used against imaginary
opponents.
"There is no emphasis on one
part of the body over the other,"
says Byron.
Byron says most karate moves
are learned within the first three
months of instruction. After that
it's a matter of concentrated
"practice."
Dispelling a few myths some
younger participants have about
karate is often necessary, he says.
"It's nothing like what they see
on T.V. with Power Rangers."
Simon Rook has studied various kinds of t'ai chi and karate.
He explains that all martial arts
grew from the teachings of an
Indian monk called Bodhidharma
or Tamo, who taught a form of
physical exercises and breathing
to his disciples when he went to
Hanon province in China in
about 500 AiD.
Basic forms aimed to develop
strengths of five animals: the
tiger, dragon, leopard, snake and
crane.
Okinawa Island, one of the
Ryuku Islands in Southeast Asia,
became a hotbed of development
for martial arts. In Chinese hands
until 1609, Japanese takeover led
to the island becoming a cultural
"mixing pot." Fearing an uprising
by the Chinese citizenry, the
Japanese outlawed the bearing of
weapons, and practice of martial
arts flourished there, said Rook.
The Japanese took a particular interest in Okinawan Chinese "te"
("hands") combat methods, and
modified some forms into karate
in the first decades of this century.
Master Funakoshi studied various martial arts and synthesized
them into modern-day karate,
with the word meaning "art of
empty hands."
Quine explains that judo was
developed in the early 20th century
by a Japanese man named Jigoro
Kano, who based his work on kinesiology and an understanding of
how the body moves and principles
of leverage and momentum.
Martial arts are generally categorized as "internal," such as the
various kinds of t'ai chi, and "external," including karate, kung fu
and the Korean tae-kwon-do.
The Yang style of t'ai chi is
practiced most widely today. A

'Zamboniitis' leads to Slugs downfall
against slippery Squid Roe team
By JIM BLACK
The Salt Spring Slugs have
Rediscovered their knack of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,
following a Sunday night loss at
the hands of Squid Roe of Sidney.
This was particularly disconcerting after the team had such a great
start, wirrning three of its first four
games and tying the other one. The
Slugs looked like they would continue their winning ways early on
as Slug newcomer Kevin Porteous
picked off a clearing pass at the
four minute mark of the first period to give us the early lead.
Porteous came to the Slugs in
an off-season trade from the
Falkland Foghorns in exchange
for a case of beer and two pepper•oni sticks. The jury is still out on
this deal but it is beginning to look
like we came out the winners.
Back to the game. Both teams
were looking fairly well matched,
with the play moving back and
forth quite readily until Squid Roe
tied the match up five minutes
after Porteous' goal, on a goal
mouth scramble.
In net for the Slugs was our regular netminder, Mark Hughes, who
once again put in a steady perfor-

Kicks, Cowichan settle for tie
Salt Spring Kicks played solid
soccer Sunday, and settled for a 22 tie with Cowichan.
Chris Aiechele got the Kicks'
first goal, but Cowichan answered
with one of their own before the
end of the first half.
Richard Avedon-Savage put the
Kicks up 2-1 in the second half,
but they could not fend off a
strong Cowichan team.
Coach Don Morrison said a
victory at Portlock Park Sunday
would have given Kicks second
place in the under 19 boys division of the Lower Island Youth
s
ervice
with
ntegrity
Soccer League. They have now
played all seven teams in their
division and will do so two
more times before the regular
season closes at the end of
Feburary.
Kicks play Gorge Canadians in
Victoria next Sunday.
GISS Scorpions head for play-offs
Gulf Islands Secondary School soccer Scorpions
clinched the mid-Vancouver Island league title last
Thursday by trouncing Brentwood 4-0.
The senior boys came out flying, applying relentless pressure for 90 minutes while at the same time
playing flawless defence. At the 25 minute mark Bill
Beck flicked on a head ball to put GISS up 1-0.
Before the half, Harrison Jason blasted home a terrific
shot to make it 2-0.
In the second half, Carl Ensminger continued to dominate the midfield, while teammate Richard AvedonSavage again shut down Brentwood's most dangerous
striker. Sweeper Kalkin Brosseau and captain Eric
Byron continually thwarted Brentwood forays into
Scorpion territory and set up devastating counter-attacks.
After Adrian Hingston made it 3-0, the Scorpions
could sense the league title was theirs, and poured on
even more pressure. Jason made a dashing run down
the left flank, leaving three defenders in his wake,
before ripping home his 11th goal of the season.
Scorpions wrap up their regular season at home
against Shawnigan Lake this Thursday. GISS will
take on Barsby of Nanaimo the following week for
the first round of the north Vancouver Island tournament. The top two teams will go on to Abbotsford for
the provincial finals.

Old Boys win
By MALCOLM LEGG
Salt Spring Pharmasave Old Boys 4
Castaways 1
Local Old Boys slammed their
way to victory in their first road
win and with a not-so-classic 4-1
win over Castaways. The victory
did not so much result from great
soccer ability, but from a tactical
session the lads held the Tuesday
prior to the game.
The Old Geezers needed to
brush up on soccer tactics and
therefore held the first Soccer
Tactics for Aging Geezers (also
known as a STAG) on a Tuesday
evening at Harbour House Hotel.
The session was held in particular to help rookies like Dave
Abley, Chris Cottrell, Tony Clair
and especially "the Rookie" Drew
Lindsay in understanding our soccer tactics.
Over the seasons we have relied
greatly on stimulants and rubs to
help us last a full 90 minutes (like
A535, Geritol, Advil). However,
this season, such treatments did
not seem to be working. Both
injuries and losses were up.
Tactically, we needed new aids
to boost our old tired muscles into
action. This session aimed to help
us find some.

SPORTS
By MALCOLM LEGG
The local under-17 girls took
to the field last weekend with a
new sponsor, Hazenboom
Construction, and a new name,
and almost staged a sensational
second half comeback before
dropping a 4-3 decision to an
older Cowichan team.
Once again, the Strikers faced
the challenge of playing an older
and certainly bigger opponent,
but as the game wore on, the
local squad showed it has the
character to play these teams.
Cowichan easily dominated the
opening half and had it not been
for the Strikers' jack rabbit goalie,
Shelagh Baker, who sprung from
side to side making spectacular
saves, they would have had more
than a 3-0 lead at the half.
At the half, coach Mary-Anne
Rome quickly regrouped the
Strikers (or maybe we should call
them the Boomers after our sponsor?) and shuffled the players in
the hope of getting things going.
Shelagh Baker came out of
goal and moved to centre back
with Stephanie Collette and the
twosome combined beautifully
to shut down Cowichan's attack.
With the team settling down
it was time to look for goals,
and Sarah Myles led the charge,
tearing into Cowichan's defence
that rather than be taken internally
it would make a better boot polish.
Henry felt rusty nails might work,
but experiments by Dave Abley
showed a rather corrosive effect
on one's mental state the following day.
Cal suggested beer, but we
already use this for after game
relief. Gary thought Tequila might
work, but based on what it does to
worms, I doubt it.
Drew, being a rookie, thought
trying them all together might
solve the problem, but unfortunately he left the meeting early
saying something about "Molson
rocks."
It was finally decided we did
not need any substances, but
rather we should challenge the
Salt Spring F.C. to a game in
December to boost our egos. Chris
Cottrell felt we would win easily,
as everyone knows they have no
forward line. Therefore, the game
would stimulate our well-being at
the expense of their's.
These positive feelings must
have carried over to Sunday's win
as, according to Henry (who
reported on the game in my
absence), "They were no match
for us, even with our team playing
its worst game of the season."
In fact, Henry said, "They were
so bad that Cal McKay looked fast
next to their best player." They
were so bad that Henry, who was
playing in goal, was out at center
trying to find something to do.
Ziggy Karl, Darryl Lister (with
two) and Tony Clair did the damage to ensure the win, but my only
question to Henry would be if they
were so bad, how did they get a
goal?
Anyway, the win was deserved
and the lads, tactics, egos and classic soccer will go again this
Sunday, 10 a.m. at Portlock Park
against Gorge Over 35's.
and trying to create that allimportant first goal.
Although she did not score,
she helped her teammates level
of play rise up a notch and they
were quickly rewarded when
Jocelyn Hazenboom broke
loose to score the first goal.
The Strikers were just warming up. They continued to press
and won a corner-kick.
Hazenboom took the cross, but
it headed back out towards her
and she calmly drilled a 25-yard
shot in for goal number two.
Cowichan panicked and quickly sent in their best line-up but
the Salt Spring defence of Baker,
Collette, Alanna Scott, Jana
Tighe, Genesis Davies and Lara
Brown held on. The goal post,
several near misses and some
stellar goalkeeping by Molly
Lynesford made the difference.
With time running out and the
Strikers' timing, Cowichan
finally broke through to score.
One minute later the Strikers
rallied once more with Kristi
Kallip converting a long pass
from Laurie Legg.
Unfortunately, time ran out
and the Strikers' comeback fell
short. However, the Strikers can
feel proud of the great effort
they gave in the second half
where they showed a lot of
character.

Health planning under way
By GAILTRAFFORD
Driftwood correspondent
The community health planning
committee met Thursday, October
20 to discuss access to health care
under the new organization of the
community health council.
Hospital service, continuing care,
preventative medicine, mental
health service, and alcohol and
drug care constitute the five levels
of health care.
Provincial health care will be
turned over to three levels of organization: the ministry of health,
regional health boards and community health councils. Our local
health council should be ready to
begin taking over local issues this
spring.
The local community was
described in some depth and an
inventory taken of existing
local services. Both assets and
failings of these services were
discussed.
School services were deemed
to be excellent and this should
be maintained. Counselling services are much needed and wellused but they have been cut
back. The community may face
the potential of losing the services of a resident physician as
the present isolation allowance is
withdrawn.
Difficulties faced by the community in finding and keeping a
nurse practitioner were noted, as
well as the lack of financial support for our 911 emergency
response team. Communication,
assessment, and case overloads
were cited as problems for the
SATURN A
Concert series
The first of the Gulf Islands
Concerts series is "From Strad to
Raad." Arthur Poison will be at
the Community Hall Wednesday,
November 2 at 8:00 p.m. to walk
music enthusiasts through the ages
with the violin from the early
baroque period to the modern
electric "Raad" instrument.
Tickets for all three coming
concerts are available in advance
from Nancy Angermeyer or
Priscilla Ewbank for $39. If you
can only attend one concert, phone
one of the organizers for details.
These concert series have been
excellent in the past and this
From Page B14
of January. At that time, reports
now being prepared on each of the
southern Gulf Islands will be compared and a master plan for all the
islands produced.
With this deadline in mind, the
Galiano group needs responses
from community groups by
October 30. It will then combine
these ideas with those gleaned from
individual householders. Deadline
for the Active Page tear-outs is
November 15. Drop-off boxes will
be established at the following
places for respondents' convenience: at the Corner Store, the
bakery complex, and the Galiano
Garage in South Galiano and at the
Community Hall in the north.
Visitors to North Galiano's
Christmas Craft Fair (November 12
and 13) will be able to drop off their
tear-outs at the hall at that time.
A public meeting will air the
planner's findings on December 3
in the Galiano Activity Centre.

Pig barbecue
home care workers.
Barb Ropars spoke on behalf of
the police advisory commission
and asked that support services for
the elderly, palliative care, and
voluntary assistance be made
available to seniors. When these
services have been lacking, the
RCMP have occasionally been
forced to arrest someone to
enforce treatment when they
become a danger to themselves or
others.
The health care committee
requests your input. Suggestions.
will be received by Liz Kaey, and
Pam Brown, either by phone or in
writing.

What
Driftwood
Readers Are
Buying...
Asked which of the following
items were purchased in the
previous 12 months, our
reader's responses were:
The imminent appearance of red poppies on lapels, jackets and hats
means Remembrance Day is almost here.
More than 15 million poppies are distributed across Canada each year
as men and women, young and old, veterans and civilians pay silent and
colourful tribute to the memory of Canadians who have died in war.
More than 1.7 million Canadians have fought in four major wars this
century and more than 114,000 died in them.
Made by veterans and their dependents in Montreal and Toronto, the
poppy is worn to remember those who died. But money given to the
poppy fund each year goes toward the living.
There are more than 600,000 veterans in Canada. The average age of a
Second World War vet is about 71.
Remembrance Day poppy fund money is used for such things as the
purchase of medical equipment, funding medical research and funding
accommodation and care facilities for veterans.
The red poppy became the symbol of remembrance in western countries after the first world war. It was inspired by the poem In Flanders'
Fields written by a dying Canadian soldier after the Battle of Ypres in
1915.
Members of the Royal Canadian Legion will be manning various
island post, providing poppies in exchange for donations.
Estuaries subject of speech
Information on the ecological significance of estuaries, where freshwater streams and rivers meet the ocean, will be presented today at 1:30
p.m. by Dr. Rob Butler of the Canadian Wildlife Service.
Butler will be speaking in the Anglican Centre, at the corner of Lower
Ganges Road and Park Drive in Ganges.
Entitled Where Waters Meet, the presentation is sponsored by the Salt
Spring Ecosystem Stewardship Project. Butler is an author, a scientist
and an estuary biologist.
The protection of estuaries was one of the issues addressed by the
shoreline bylaw proposed by the Local Trust Committee earlier this year.
The bylaw was dropped in August, following opposition at a public hearing, and the issue was referred to the Official Community Plan review.
The presentation is free but donations at the door are welcome to help
cover costs.
