Baseball for kids returns to Salt Spring
Baseball is returning to Salt
Spring Island.
The Salt Spring Minor Baseball
Association — for hardball, not
Softball — was organized earlier
this year and is aiming now to
start play in April in three youth
leagues.
Registration for T-ball (ages
five to seven years), Little League
(eight to 12 years) and Babe Ruth
(13 to 15 years) will take place at
Portlock Park this Saturday, February 27, from 10 am to 2 p m .
Registration fees are $12 for
T-ball, $20 for Little League and
$20 for Babe Ruth.
The association, headed by
president Roger Chernenkoff and
vice-president Roy Kinnear, has
held four organizational meetings
to date and has another session
scheduled
for
tonight
(Wednesday, February 24) at 7:30
pm in the library of Salt Spring
Elementary School.
M i k e Tyson, a spokesman for
the association, said the meetings
held so far have elected officers
and formed committees to pre-
pare the launching of the three
baseball leagues, but that much
work is yet to be done.
" A s in any new venture," he
said, "getting started is the
toughest part. But with the
incredible enthusiasm of those
already involved, and with the
positive interest shown by businesses and private citizens, we
are well on our way to realizing
our first-year goal — to let the
kids have fun, an opportunity to
learn, and a chance to play
organized b a l l . "
Youth baseball flourished on
Salt Spring in the past but
suffered a decline in recent years.
Tyson is hoping the newly-formed
association will revive interest in
the sport and give youngsters a
positive recreational alternative.
" I think we would all agree that
we need more recreational activit-
ies for our young people," he
said.
Although the association is now
off the ground, Tyson added that
more help is needed.
" A l t h o u g h the most basic
groundwork has been done, we
still need and would appreciate
any help anyone can g i v e , " he
said.

Under sunny skies, the Salt
Spring Selects put on one of their
best o f f e n s i v e d i s p l a y s i n
demolishing Juan de Fuca 6-1 last
Sunday at Portlock Park.
The Selects started slowly, as
though they were waiting for
something to happen, rather than
forcing the play to create scoring
opportunities. Mid-fielder Ben
Berry seemed to sense the
stagnation in the Selects play, and
took control of the game.
Mid-way through the half, Berry
^jjoed a beautiful pass to a
ing B . J . Severs on left wing,
banged the ball in off the far
o s f and the Selects were ahead to
stay.
Late in the half the Selects
scored a pretty goal as Roderick
Shoolbraid crossed a ball from the
end-line, which C o r b i n Scott
headed to his brother Justin, who
then headed it into the net.
In the second half the Selects
came out with their guns blazing,
especially by the team's scoring
ace, Chad " W o l f Little, out of
goal.
The goal of the game quickly
followed as another Berry pass
found " W o l f on the wing. The
Wolfman sent a beautiful cross to
Justin, moving in for his second
header and a 3-0 lead for the
Selects.
Andrew Aust quickly followed
as he broke in on a pass from
Justin Scott and rifled the ball
home.
Chad Little followed with the
next two goals, the first on a fine
combination with Andrew. and the
second as he finished off a header
from Ben Berry.
Juan de Fuca scored a late goal
to wrap up the scoring, but the
Selects had to be pleased with a
solid offensive display after so

full-time sales representative, Jeff Outerbridge.
It is Jeff's responsibility to look after advertising
accounts by calling regularly o n merchants and
assisting them with their marketing programs.
Like other newspaper employees, he too works
to a deadline. B y five o'clock on Friday display

nother form of advertising with which many
readers are familiar is classified. The
classified section is often one of the most well
read parts of a newspaper. But its familiarity is
due to the fact that the average reader uses
classified advertising from time to time to
dispose of or find household items, vehicles,
boats and other goods. Classifieds are easy to
use too. The Driftwood office is usually busy all
day on any given Monday as islanders place their
ads before the three o'clock deadline.
or the consumer, newspaper advertising is a
valuable aid in making buying decisions as it
provides important information o n price,
selection and availability of goods and services.

Island history examined

Port Washington wharf disassembly
Harbour authority may
oversee wharf activity
By C A S E Y O ' C O N N O R
P E N D E R I S L A N D S — Meeting
in general session on February 17,
the Pender Island Chamber of
Commerce voted to become the
lead agency i n creating a Pender
Island Harbour Authority which
would oversee the day-to-day
operations of governmennt
wharves at Port Washington,
Hope Bay and Browning Harbour
on North Pender, and at Bedwell
Harbour on South Pender Island.
The move to form a local
harbour authority grew out of a
study, conducted in 1986, which
determined that parts of the Port
Washington government dock
were unsafe, and a subsequent
request by the Pender Island Lions
Club asking that the Coast Guard
clean and repair the wharf.
Gordon Wallace, acting on behalf
of the Pender Lions, followed the
group's letter with a telephone call
to Dave Barratt, regional manager
for the Coast Guard's Western
Harbours and Ports division.
Barratt told Wallace that a
contract had been let to tear down
those parts of the Port Washington
facility that had been declared
unsafe. In a memorandum to
Wallace, Barratt said the Coast
Guard and Fisheries and Oceans
were interested in turning over
day-to-day operations of various
wharves to local communities if
the proper governing body existed
to administer the facilities.
Wallace then asked the Lions to
act as the lead agency in helping
create a local governing authority
for Pender Island. The Pender
Lions Club decided against taking
on the project. "The Coast Guard
is not acting out of benevolence,"
said Peter Campbell, a member of
the club. "The job of management
and upkeep is thankless. Y o u field
all the complaints and get the
blame for everything that goes
awry."

representative a n d a strong

A LITTLE BIT OF OLDE ENGLAND'
By F L O R E N C E D O D W E L L
S O U T H G A L I A N O — Saturday,
February 13, marked a most
interesting day for the Gulf Islands
branch of the B . C . Historical
Federation. A t a lunch enjoyed at
the Five Roosters on Mayne
Island, Alistair Ross spoke about
S c o t t i s h crofters supposedly
having settled on the Gulf Islands
according to a British law passed in
the 1800s. Then, D r . Tony
Kingscote brought up the matter
of the preservation of the 650-footl o n g m i d d e n at M o n t a g u e
Harbour. Marie Elliott, of the
Open Space Committee which
advises the parks department' of
the
C R D , s a i d she has
recommended that the Pender
Canal site be acquired, as well as
Mortimer Spit, to become part of
the park area on South Pender
Island.
Next came the visit to the Mayne
Island Museum, where interesting
remains of the Zephyr's 115-yearold cargo were on display. A t 3 am
on February 13, 1872, a severe
north-east gale dashed the threemasted barque onto the rocks at
Waugh Point, near Davis Bay on
Mayne Island. The boat carried
high density, good quality
sandstone quarried on Newcastle
Island, from Nanaimo to San
Francisco.
In 1976, government-provided
funds enabled three local divers to
explore the site of the wreck.
Ultimately, two sandstone
columns, weighing 33 tons each,
were brought up. These had been
quarried to be used for pillars at
the San Francisco Mint.
The meeting proceeded to the
Health Centre at 2 pm, but upon
leaving the museum this reporter
caught sight of the Mayne Island
time line, marking 3,000 - 1,000
B. C , when Indians were on Helen
Point, up to 1979 A . D . when a
satellite marine tracking station
was installed on Mount Parke.
There were other interesting
artifacts and information which
must be taken in at another time.
At the Health Centre, Marie
Elliott (who has researched the
history of Mayne Island) gave a
short review. For instance, in 1872
there was settlement on Mayne
Island, in 1883 a school, and in
1885 a wharf.

presented a video which showed
the volunteer divers retrieving the
two sandstone columns from a
depth of 35 feet including the
rigging and lifting of the columns.
The second largest crane to work
in west coast waters lifted these
large objects. Now one is located
on Newcastle Island, the other in
front of the Maritime Museum in
Vancouver. Parks B . C . paid
$17,000 for the recovery of the
pillars.
Several slides were also shown,
courtesy o f the U n d e r w a t e r
Archaeological Society of B . C . ,
which was formed in 1976. The
Zephyr, built in Massachusetts in
1855, worked the West Coast
between V i c t o r i a a n d S a n
Francisco from 1860 to 1872. It
had little manoeuverability, Larry
McFarland noted. He also spoke
of coal-carrying wrecks in waters
around here.
Louis Vallee spoke about the
large sandstone rock in front of the
museum. Excellent slides showed
how he and other divers dove for
the 3 , 5 0 0 - p o u n d s a n d s t o n e ,
floated it at high tide, then brought
it in by chains. A barge lifted the
stone before it was delivered to the
museum, where it was pressurewashed and painted
with
urethane.
Readers may be interested to
know that the January-February
1988 edition of Diver magazine
has an article on the Zephyr
entitled Raising the Past.

advocate of local control, refused
to let the issue die and next
approached the Chamber of
Commerce. " T h e federal

enthusiastic
about keeping up the

Then simply do what they did in
January at Port Washington —
tear it down," he said.
Bob George owns the old
Corbett Store at Hope Bay and
runs a water taxi service. For the
past six years he has been
wharfinger for the government
docks at Hope Bay and for the
docks in Browning Harbour. "I
attended a meeting of wharfingers
that was held in Port Hardy back
in November," he said. "When I
got back, 1 saw Gordon and told
him I felt somebody had to take
r e s p o n s i b i l i t y for the P o r t
Washington docks or the Coast
Guard was going to pull them out."
I saw what happened here at
|ope Bay," continues George.
our-fifths of the original dock
^ ^ s ppace was torn out five years ago
when I took over as wharfinger.
They were in horrible shape. Two
or three years ago, Fisheries
w a n t e d to r e m o v e a n o t h e r
hundred feet as part of their
program to cut maintenance costs.
Vern Roddick, through the C R D .
together with pressure from the
school board and the Lions Club,
saved the docks that you see here
today."
Gordon Wallace sees himself as
a facilitator for the port authority
project. "I recall coming over from
Steveston when I was a boy. The
C P R boats were sideloaders and
would load and unload at the
g o v e r n m e n t d o c k s at P o r t
Washington and Hope Bay. When
the front end loaders were
developed and the B C Ferry
facility built at Otter Bay, the other
docks became stepchildren of
sorts."
"Not everyone is as enthusiastic
as I am," says Wallace. "There are
a number of people who have been
using the wharves as free moorage.
But these are the same people who
complain about the upkeep. Local
control is what this is all about."
"I agree with Gordon on the
issue of control," says Bob George.
"Unadministered docks are always
overcrowded with local boats that
tie up and never move. A n d that is
not the purpose of a public dock.
But I don't think we need to have a
port a u t h o r i t y or h a r b o u r
c o m m i s s i o n to oversee the
facilities. Why not simply appoint
a wharfinger for Port Washington
and Bedwell Harbour? If the Coast
Guard and Fisheries are so
anxious to get rid of the facilities
then auction them off to a private
businessman with the stipulation
that part of the space be
guaranteed public access."
In taking on the port authority
project the P e n d e r
Island
Chamber of Commerce appointed
Vice President Dave Jamieson to
what is presently an ad hoc
committee composed of interested
members
o f the Pender
community. Joining Jamieson will
be commercial fisherman Alfred
Kaisla and representatives from
the school board. B . C . Hydro, the
Power Squadron and the Pender
Island Yacht Club.
L a r r y H i l d r i t h , owner o f
Bedwell Harbour Resort and a
member of the Chamber, also
agreed to serve on the committee
and help in laying groundwork for
the authority. "I've listened to all
the reasons put forward for
creating the local authority and
feel most are valid, but as a marine
operator with a Customs Dock
and docks belonging to Fisheries
and the Coast Guard, I have to be
aware of what can be a conflict of
interest with the government and
marina each renting out moorage
space," he said.
"The major problem at present
is one of control," continued
Hildrith. "This past Labour Day
we ran into a problem at Bedwell
when a group of boaters decided to
tie up at the government dock and
became a bit rowdy. They knew I
MICHAEL FENWICK
had no authority over the dock and
made it rather difficult when I
approached them about quieting
down."
" A local port authority with
w e l l - t h o u g h t - o u t rules a n d
regulations should be able to
answer L a r r y ' s concerns at
Bedwell," says Peter Hemphill,
who will represent the Yacht Club
on the ad hoc committee. "It will
be an interesting exercise — trying
to solve the problems unique to
each of the ports — but the idea is
to have facilities that better serve
the community."
In a letter to Wallace dated
January 7, the Coast Guard's
Barratt outlined the plan that
would see the federal government
continue to m a i n t a i n major
construction at the various ports
while the local harbour authority
takes over a l l d a y - t o - d a y
operations and expenses.
Under the proposed set-up, the
Pender Island Harbour Authority
would participate in long- and
short-term
planning for
maintenance and development, be
responsible for hiring a manager
and bear the costs of salaries and
administration, cleaning and
garbage, electricity, water and
security.
The local authority would
collect appropriate fees and
maintain all traffic and financial
records and would enforce all
applicable rules and laws.

Pender 'Dismantle' group discusses war threat
By E L E A N O R H A R R I S O N
Peter and Eleanor Adamson
have offered the garden solarium
room in their home to Pender
Island's Operation Dismantle organization. Some 35 members
and friends gathered there recently to enjoy a pot-luck dinner.
Mrs. Victoria Gillespie, a delegate to the 1987 World Federalist
Symposium i n Philadelphia,
spoke briefly on the importance of
strengthening the United Nations. This can be achieved, she
said, by working to decrease the
insanity of military debt now
gripping the world.
Gillespie continued by saying
" t h e Victoria Operation Dismantle group (of which Pender Island
is a part) has recently received
word that the city of Victoria has
been accepted as a twin with a
city in the Pacific Rim area of the
Soviet U n i o n . "
G i l l e s p i e i n t r o d u c e d Peter
Pentz from Salt Spring Island as
the evening's guest speaker.
Pentz began his talk by saying
that "most of what we, the
ordinary person on the street,
have been so frightened of, is not
really frightening at a l l . "
Pentz continued by saying the
military build-up of weaponry is
not weapons at all — but suicide
pills. Their function is to extract
money from taxpayers to pumpprime the U . S . economy by
persuading people thay are i n
danger, and to support the American military complex, Pentz said.
Canada's survival depends on
that of the U.S., which is threatened by its own government, he
continued, adding that Canadians
can help the Americans to see
that point.
The recent summit between
Gorbachev and Reagan, which
resulted in the I M F Treaty agreement to get rid of short range
missiles in Europe, is of minute
military significance on either
side, Pentz charged. Politically,
however, it is of enormous significance. The credit for the summit,
he said, must go to Gorbachev.
Presently there exists zero per
cent chance that either nation will
attack the other. According to
Pentz: " I t is necessary to denuclearize and de-militarize the
world. This requires a change in
attitude."
The I M F Treaty has to be
ratified by the U.S. Senate. Right
now, Pentz suggested, military
individuals in the U.S. are thinking of new things — evading the
issue as on previous occasions.
The major question, Pentz said,
is whether the treaty will go
through.
On the N A T O side, Pentz said
Europe is the most heavily armed
part of the world — and therein
lies a complicated situation to be
resolved: how can we, living on
the Gulf Islands, help? Nationally, Pentz suggested, we can put

Revelations
Sir,
It may interest Salt Spring
residents to know how the meeting
on dioxins and the environment
went in Crofton at the Brass Bell
on Thursday, February 18.
The meeting was a joint effort of
Environment Canada and the B.C.
Ministry of Environment and
Parks, to educate people on
dioxins in the area around
Crofton. Dr. John Ward, a
government toxicologist, made a
presentation on the subject which
concluded that there was nothing
to be alarmed about at the present
time, although he only had test
results dating back to 1982 and
nothing more current. What was
said about dioxins was very
elementary and has already been
widely published.
So nothing new was actually
said on the subject. That in itself
was a big disappointment to
people from the Crofton area who
thought they would get much more
specific information.
What ticked off most of the
people who attended, though, was
the attempt by Dr. Ward, Ted
Oldham, and politician-on-themake Graham Bruce, M L A for the
area, to limit the discussion to
dioxins and to ignore the myriad of
toxins, wastes" and poisons
discharged from the mill. Needless
to say that effort did not succeed
fed some rather irate citizens
^bke up on the subject of how
electro-static precipitators are
turned off at night and on
weekends, thus ensuring that
Crofton gets choked by airborne
wastes at those times.
That revelation, made by senior
millworkers who are past
promotion and can't be fired, and
whose friends are dying of cancer
of the pancreas and liver, raised
enough of a storm, centred on Ted
Oldham, the regional waste
manager for the Ministry of
Environment and Parks who then
had to explain why the mill was not
being monitored effectively. He
said that it was, but conceded that
the courts were reluctant to
^fcttammer the companies with fines
^ ^ H ) r pollution violations, with the
^^ffesult that there was not much
incentive for the government to
enforce compliance. T h i s ,
notwithstanding the fact that the
companies don't like being fined
even when the fines are just token
amounts, which seems to be the
case most of the time.
Graham Bruce, the M L A , wants
to establish a dioxin testing lab on
the west coast since samples now
have to be sent to the east and there
is a waiting list for getting tests
done. It has got to be a long list
when the chief toxicologist has
results dating back to 1982 and
nothing more up to date. That
effort is commendable. However,
the attempt to avoid discussion of
other pollutants is not and this
writer let him know in no uncertain
terms that people would get violent
if he didn't rise to the occasion and
do something about it. Anyway,
the mood of the senior millworkers
left no doubt about it. Just
establishing a lab is not good
enough when there is such a
plethora of pollutants being
emitted day and night, seven days a
week.
It is now a matter of keeping up
the pressure on the elements that
have come out of the woodwork
and have identified themselves as
targets.
Limiting a public
information meeting to the
discussion of one chemical was
probably the dumbest tactical
move this writer has ever seen in
his life, and a few people will be
nursing their wounds about this
for some time to come.
Ted Oldham was perhaps the
most philosophical about it all. He
said his job is to report back what
kind of feeling exists in the
population. Hell have plenty to
talk about even though there were
many questions that he could not
and would not answer for obvious
reasons.
Just to remind you all. Future
members of the Salt Spring Sierra
Club went to the meeting in
Crofton and will be involved in the
pollution fight in the future. The
next meeting is in the music room
of the Salt Spring Elementary
School at 7:30 pm on Thursday,
February 25. A more exhaustive
presentation on the state of
pollution at Crofton will be given
there.

Alternatives
Sir,
Why does Salt Spring have such
a high per capita rate of alcohol
related vehicle accidents?
The
Driftwood article on
February 10 mentions the age
difference at parties as being a
contributing factor to teenage
alcohol abuse. It is disturbing that
you would suggest segregation by
age as a possible solution to a
major problem in a community
where we have much to learn and
share with people of all ages.
Besides family gatherings, what
provision does our island offer
young adults aside from four
drinking establishments?
What is it going to take to break
Page B9
through the ignorance and
cheapness in our community? We
can pay up front for recreational
facilities, such as a pool, or we can
pay later for the damage.
Maybe if young people had
something else to do, your lawn
wouldn't be torn up or your
mailboxes knocked over when you
wake up on Saturday morning.
I'm not suggesting that everyone
between 13 and 40 years of age
is going to go swimming on Friday
nights, but I am trying to point out
that it is not always the offender
who gets hurt but often the
"innocent," and that by giving a
little to the community we all
benefit.

• Dispite optimistic predictions of
a few weeks ago, the Pozzolan
plant was now idle.
Previous reports stated the
plant would be on a continuous
24-hour production schedule.
Now, however, workers had been
given notice and no one knew
when production might resume.
• A small gray whale, which had
been "loafing around" Salt
Spring waters for several months,
came in contact with a boat
propeller.
The incident occurred when the
whale attempted to surface underneath the water taxi Crackerjack,
skippered by Harry Extel. The
propeller was smashed and the
whale came up with a bloody fin.
Extel was able to make it back to
land using the boat's second
propeller.
• Salt Spring Lands was advertising view and waterfront retirement lots for $100 down and $25

• The only real separatists in
Canada this week were the people
of the Gulf Islands, who were cut
off from the rest of the country by
a ferry strike.
Service was suspended when
Wednesday, Feb, 24. 1988
down
through
the
years
with driftwood
crews walked off all B.C. Ferry
Authority vessels to protest the
recent dismissal of 160 crew
members in a series of staff cuts.
A week after the initial strike,
supply shortages were becoming
a problem.
• Islander Doug Wilson was
surprised to see a flock of
Canadian geese fly by the week
previous.
He couldn't be sure whether
they were a group of 1968 geese
heading north early, or a flock of
1967 geese which had mistaken
Salt Spring Island for Florida, and
had elected to winter here.
• When trustees of the Gulf
Islands School District approved
the purchase of a school bus from
another district, the fact that it
was not new was offset by the fact
that a new vehicle of the size
needed on Galiano Island was not
available.
When it arrived, the bus had a
damaged windshield. A replacement was ordered, but it was in
no better condition. Trustees
approved a plan to withhold
payment for the new bus until
responsibility for the damage had
been settled by the carrier involved.
• Salt Spring Island gained two

• Court of Revision heard appeals
against assessments on all of the
islands.
A large slate of appeals was
heard in Ganges, resulting from
boosted assessments undertaken
that year by provincial assessor
Al Clarke. A ceiling was listed on
assessment increases to bring
assessments into line with the
rest of the province. Concern
surrounded assessments of both
private and commercial property.
In some instances, it was reported
that the assessment had risen by
300 per cent.
• The Flower Box Fund, initiated
by Driftwood several months
previous, continued to rise, surpassing the $700 mark.
The fund was launched to pay
for replacing the wooden flower
boxes in Centennial Park with
indestructible containers.
• Four prisoners who escaped
from the Salvation Army Concord
House were back in custody after
a quick dash to Salt Spring Island.
The four men stole a car and

stole a luxury cruiser to make
their way to Salt Spring.

HONDA INTRODUCES
A BRIGHT NEW GENERATOR.
The EX1000. A portable generator that lets you run just about
anything from lights to small power tools to a telcvisioa It runs on a
reliable four-stroke engine that cuts fuel consumption without cutting
power. Electronic ignition means that power is just a pull away, while
special noise reduction features mean the EX1000 doesn't generate
a whole lot of noise. So next time an outlet is more
lll.l.'I.V
than an extension cord away get yourself Honda's new
EX1000. It's a very bright idea.

Types of hedges and plants
determine style of gardens
In last week's article, the
groundwork was laid for this
second installment in the hedging
story. Having covered some of the
principles and considerations
when locating and selecting your
plants, this time around I will get
right down to descriptions and
suggestions for hedging plants in
our region. For each of the plants,
a general height range will be given
and, while a hedge might possibly
be kept shorter than the lowest
height indicated, it will most
probably mean lots of extra labour
and maintenance work or, worse,
it may not ever look right.

grey foliage is, however, appealing
enough to consider its usage. The
rosemary is a little less willing to
tighten up and get bushy, but the
fragrant foliage and long blooming
season help to justify its place.
One family of shrubs which
make a tough, formidable thorny
and deer-proof screen, is the
Berberis genus with species and
cultivars which will give hedges in
the two- to eight-foot-high range.
Three forms are available, with
varying ultimate heights for each,
but for all of them the branching
habit and form is somewhat open,
with an informal appearance.
While it will withstand shearing,
judicious pruning will give the best
form and appearance. Abelia loves
full sun or partial shade, and does
fine on all soils provided they don't
get water-logged in winter-time.
