Postal changes
to proceed
at Salt Spring
Plans for a major reconfiguration of postal service on Salt Spring
Island are being prepared for
Canada Post by a local resident
Bob Campbell is coordinating a
project that will see the implementation of a community mail box
service for the island. He told the
Driftwood in an interview that
changes are being made to improve
service and meet the increasing
demands of people moving to the
island.
Growth
seen as
hot issue
in policy
By GRAEME THOMPSON
Driftwood Staff
Growth and development is
going to be the hot issue in the
recently released Islands Trust
policy statement. How much
should there be? Can the Trust control it? These are some of the questions that islanders are already
asking.
"This is the issue that underlies
all others," regional director Julia
Atkins said. Chamber of Commerce president Joyce Carlson and
the Island Watch Society also
honed in on the importance of
growth and development within the
Trust area.
Atkins said one of the difficulties with (he policy statement is that
it "holds a promise that cannot be
realized."
The policy statement says Trust
council will support only a level of
growth and development that is
"compatible with sustainability."
"Good luck," she said. "They'd
have to say no to virtually any other
development. The Trust has set for
itself a mandate that everyone can
buy into but they cannot actually do
TRUST A9
The changes are not just under
consideration as Canada Post officials indicated two weeks ago.
The boxes will replace the existing green mail boxes, and will require a new address format using a
person's street address and postal
code.
Campbell said that because island mail customers use about four
different address formats, mail is
currently being sorted by name. He
said the method used to be acceptable but as mail comes to only two
postal codes on the island, it is often
handled many times, causing
delays.
The new system will see each
set of community mail boxes have
its own postal code. When the mail
is sorted at the plant in Victoria, it
will come to Salt Spring divided
into the various postal codes. The
rural courier will then take the
sorted mail to the appropriate
boxes.
The boxes are permanent installations which are more stable than
the green boxes. They will not rust,
and are vandal-proof. The boxes
also have parcel compartments for
oversize packages.

They're not 'arch-criminals:'
youths look back at their crimes
By GRAEME THOMPSON
Driftwood Staff
Punishment of seven island
youths for their involvement in a
series of break-ins more than a year
and a half ago is nearly over. But
while the court-ordered probation,
community work service,
apologies and restitution are nearly
done, this incident in their lives
may not yet be over.
"There's a mind set that we were
bad kids," one youth told the
Driftwood. "I was waJking along in
Vesuvius and a guy I don't even
know asked me how the B and E
business was doing.
"I felt like kicking him in the
head."
"A lot of people don't say anything," another youth said, "but
they think i t In the back of their
minds they think it."
That kind of labelling is the
worst thing that can happen to these
kids, according to probation officer
Susan Langlois.
"Ninety-eight per cent of people
go through the court system and are
convinced not to reoffend as scon
as thejustice of the peace clears his
throat and says, 'Young man
"This particular group of kids
are not arch-criminals. They were
in_cie:x:
stupid. They haven't reoffended."
Langlois has been working with
young offenders for 25 years. She
started working on Salt Spring a
month or so ago, encouraging
youngsters on probation here to
finish their community work service as soon as possible, write their
letters of apology and work
towards getting their restitution
money paid.
At a court sitting in May, Judge
Keith Bracken let one of the seven
youths off probation on the recommendation of the probation officer.
Most of the others will probably be
off probation before the end of die
summer.
"They didn'thave topayrestitution until the summer of 1994,"
Langlois said, "when the probation
was all over.
"I feel fairly strongly the first
thing you do is pay back the mistake you made. If you take something from the community, you pay
it back."
The restitution was not huge
amounts — an average $150 each
— but the court ordered it paid
when the probation wasfinished,as
late as 1994. This would be more

Property tax notices show
average 10% increase
Tax bills are showing increases
averaging 10 per cent or more this
year for Gulf Islands property
owners.
Based on current tax rates, the
average tax bill for Salt Spring Islanders will be $1,308.03 before
any applicable grants are deducted.
The average residential property
value on the island is $158,000.
In 1992, when the average assessed property value was
$115,000, the average bill was
$1,188.42 before grants.
The tax bills include school tax,
rural property owners' tax and
taxes for local authorities and services.
Taxes must be paid by the close
of business July 2.
"We anticipate particularly long
line-ups this year," government
agent Virginia Bobroske said.
"New revenue control procedures
and security requirements are
tighter."
A computer-printed receipt of
payment issued to each customer
this year will also add a little to the
time it takes to serve them.
Those who want to avoid the
line-up have several options. Paynest may be mailed to the ministry
of finance and corporate relations
with a post-dated cheque using the
self-addressed envelope provided
with the tax notice.
Payment may also be made by
post-dated cheque in person or
through the drop-box provided at
the government agent's office.
Bobroske said there were about
10,000 tax notices issued for the
Gulf Islands, and about 339,000 issued province-wide.
A five per cent penalty is added
to the tax bill if it remains unpaid
after July 2. If it is not paid by
October 31, a further five per cent
penalty is charged.
Bobroske reminds taxpayers
that an application for the
homeowner's grant is on the back
of every tax notice.
For general enquiries about the
tax notice, phone Enquiry B.C. tollfree at 1-800-663-7867.

Boaters turned off by lack of
marine fuel on weekends
A lack of access to marine fuel
on the weekends in Ganges is hurting at least one island business, and
the owner predicts his is not the
only one.
Jay Small of Something Fishy
Charters told the Driftwood that the
lack of fuel will affect everyone on
Salt Spring because visitors may
stop coming. "All it takes is a handful of people to come in and tell
their friends and they will never be
back again."
He said it is hard for his boat
rental and charter business to function without fuel on the weekends.
Consequently, he often has to use
gerry cans of fuel to fill his boats,
often spilling some fuel into the
harbour.
Small said he sees a large number of visitors to the harbour upset
because they are unable to obtain
fuel.
"Most people that come in are
surprised that there is not fuel," he
said.
The only marine fuel station in
Ganges Harbour is Fiander Esso. It
is currently open Monday through
Friday, and some Saturdays. In past
summers, the station has been open
on weekends. Station owner Bruce
Fiander declined to comment.
At Ganges Marina, employee
Ryan Davies estimated he saw 35
&an 'WOAA
to 40 boats come in last weekend
looking for gas. He said on a busy
weekend, they see around 100.
Davies added that most boaters
looking for gas usually own smaller
vessels that must fill up in Ganges
before moving on. He added that
the vessels may be directed to Fulford for fuel, but in one case last
weekend, a boat had to be filled
with gerry cans because it could not
make it.
Lynda Brown, co-owner of
Ganges Marina, told the Driftwood
she is currently in the process of
trying to obtain gas pumping
facilities, and would hope to have
it available before July.
"It is a service that we have to
have on the island here. We have
got a lot of visiting boaters and we
have a lot of resident people that
need it," Brown said.
She said she has had calls from
tourists who say they will not be
coming to the island because gas is
not available. "They can get here,
but they can't get home again."
Tom Toynbee of Mouat's Trading Company said he has had a
number of complaints already this
summer regarding the fact there is
limited fuel service. "I had one
boater tell me if you do not have
fuel in this harbour, they won't be

back.
"It is a problem of real proportions for tourism. We report ourselves to be a destination for boaters
and in many ways we offer really
good facilities for boaters . . .
various services are very close to
the waterfront, they are all available."
Boaters may still obtain fuel on
the weekends from Fulford Marina
in Fulford Harbour.

Farewell, grads
A
mong those for whom high school graduation is
but a rapidly fading memory, it is easy to lament
bygone days and make odious comparisons in the
process.
We make no comparisons here. We have instead a
simple message for the 67 islands students who are about
to shed the shackles of school. Herewith, then, is our
own farewell to the grads of '93.
Though blemished it may be by environmental ails
and numerous conflicts, the world lies waiting before
you. Bear in mind that it is far larger than our experience
in geography class would indicate. All the maps, atlases
and globes in the world cannot adequately and fully convey just how large this Earth is. Nor can they properly
describe far-away places and the people who inhabit
them.
Education is a lifelong process that is enhanced and
strengthened through the broadening of one's outlook.
And there are few better ways of doing that than by
travelling. A knowledge of the multitude of cultures and
some understanding of their myriad customs, traditions
and history add up to a broader perspective on life. And
perspective will be a highly prized trait in years to come.
One doesn't know the meaning of poverty until seeing
it first-hand in a Third World city. In the slums of the
developing world, life is stripped of its mundane trappings — die things we take seriously — and reduced to
basics. Having seen such conditions, you will return
home with a greater appreciation for the riches we enjoy.
And you'll be better prepared for the simpler, less
materialistic lifestyle to which eventually we shall have
to adjust.
It is also possible that you will discover a spiritual
side to life that to many of us has become hidden beneath
the excesses of consumerism. In some parts of the world
you may establish close and lasting friendships on very
short notice.
They are friendships that have great value to the
people who make them despite the difficult conditions
under which they live. In many cultures, human relations
are paramount. These are cultures from which we can
learn.
A world out there awaits. Its exploration will lead to a
greater understanding of our own problems, which pale
by comparison in their insignificance.
In reality, your education is only just beginning.

F
or many years Ganges Harbour has extended a
warm welcome to the boating public. We are all
aware of the benefits of tourism as a so-called clean
industry, but when it comes to boaters, they're the biggest plus of all in terms of economic strength through
tourism.
They have some significant advantages over visitors
who arrive by automobile. They don't fill our ferries.
They don't clog our roads. They don't congest our villages.
Ganges merchants have expended considerable time,
energy and money on developing the village as a destination for water-borne tourists. Their efforts have required
diligence, for Ganges has some drawbacks.
The visiting boater must be convinced that the twomile run into the harbour will be worth it. If boaters are
unsure that anything lies at the head of such a long inlet,
they will avoid it.
Furthermore, the harbour is not a perfect haven in a
storm. While southeasterly blows are rare in summer, it
pays to keep a watchful eye on your position when
anchored in the harbour.
Ganges has overcome obstacles such as these to at-
tract a large number of boats.
Even though the benefits of this tourist sector are felt
directly only in the village, the island gains in the long
run.
There are indications, however, that many boaters are
adversely affected by there being no fuelling facilities
open on weekends. And fuel, for most boats, is an all-important concern.
It has long been said in the hospitality industry that
one unhappy customer tells a dozen friends. There's no
reason why the same rule should not be applicable here.
If enough marine visitors are forced to fill gerry cans at
local gas stations and then carry them back to their boats,
it won't be long before the word begins to spread: that
Ganges has a major disadvantage. Boaters will begin to
think twice about making the village a stop on their
itinerary.
Every effort should be made to support the opening of
fuel facilities at week's end. The chamber of cornmerce,
for one, ought to place a high priority on encouraging
their provision.
The economic well-being of the island's commercial
centre depends on it.

Community TV:
a new storyteller
By VALERIE RAMPONE
Once upon a time, not so long
ago, the wisest and most revered
person in the village of Ganges, a
magical place set on a Pacific isle,
was the storyteller. Everyone sat at
the bunioned feet of the bizarrely
dressed storyteller. As the myths, based completely on hearsay, fell
about their flower-like ears, they dreamed of one day having an
incredible adventure that they could claim as their own story.
Then one day as they were listening yet again to the same old
tale, George began doodling with driftwood and created — no, not
a newspaper, the Driftwood came later — but the alphabet. This
mindless messing about with nature revolutionized society as the
Gangesites (no religious affiliation) knew it.
It was never quite the same. No longer was die storyteller
venerated. No longer was it important to listen and remember. The
ones who could read and write were the clever ones, now. They were
the ones to emulate.
T
hese reading, writing and arithmetic (somebody figured out die
numbers too) skills were considered so crucial to civilization
on this isle of high creative vibradons, that schools were invented
and the masses coerced into attending. A sign of great honour was
taking pieces of the said alphabet and placing them after a
graduate's name.
Well, as you know, nothing ever stays the same. This was true
even in the growing village of Ganges. A number of years went by
and then one day a new kind of storyteller appeared. It was bigger
than a breadbox, and perhaps mechanical, but not human. Nobody
quite knew how it worked. All they knew was it had moving images
thatflashedwith delightful light and had all the sounds of here, there
and everywhere.
The Gangesites could not, not watch it. This response had
something to do with their animal instinct for survival. They always
checked out anything that moved, every time it moved. And this
storyteller, called TV, kept moving all the time. Their eyes were
riveted to the screen. They didn't doodle with driftwood anymore.
Instead, the Gangesites watched the beautiful people, the outrageous people, the sports stars and the rock stars on TV, none of
whom they knew. They played silly TV games like Wheel of
Fortune and the Price is Right, and dreamt their futile fantasies. The
day TV came to town, the culture had once again changed, exponentially and forever. Things would never be the same.
M
any Gangesites said this storyteller was bad; a no good. They
didn't like the way they'd stopped chatting with one another.
They didn't like scheduling local events around distant baseball
games played by people who didn't even pretend to be Canadians.
But alas, many Gangesites had become TV addicts. Their life
depended on a fix of sitcoms.
Others became deceitful and watched the picture tube in the
privacy of their homes, but wouldn't admit it. Well, they watched
the news. One had to keep up with the world. It was one's duty, they
told themselves, but if truth be told, the news was just as entertaining
as the stories. Politics, health and religion had all become very
amusing. The weather, war and acts of God had all become action
flicks.
Actually it became very hard to separate reality from unreality.
Most Gangesites gave in. They became mesmerized as the TV
images washed over them. It was so easy, so easy. They just pushed
a button.
Now you are probably saying, "If TV had become so important,
why didn't they study it, like they did with the alphabet? They could
have put it in their school curriculum, or maybe even had 'hands-on

to remember the cable TV license came up for renewal, but it was
advertised in the Province, so not many Gangesites knew about it.
A small sub-group that did, kept the phone and fax lines to the
CRTC buzzing. They only had till 4:30 p.m. June 8 to get their
"interventions" in.
"What's an intervention?"
That's a letter listing the Gangesites' specific dissatisfaction with
the service or lack of service they got from the cable TV company.
Many people on the isle were not allowed to hook up to the cable
TV system, no matter how much they pleaded. They found that very
unfair, especially as their numbers grew.
Anyway, those sending an intervention also had to send die cable
TV company a double receipted copy of their complaints, and proof
of that, to the CRTC in Vancouver. Knowing the speed of delivery
their local post office afforded, most of the wily Gangesites use the
fax number 1 -666-8322, to accomplish their mission.
"Gee! They didn't have much time did they? What happened?"

Players' history
To the Editor,
Re the article in your May 19
paper. The facts concerning the
founding of the Salt Spring Players
are as follows:
Thefirstperformance was in the
spring of 1971 when the founders,
Virginia Newman and Olive
Clayton presented Virginia's
original musical Salt Spring Madness and a one-act play written by
Terence Rattigan and directed and
produced by Clayton. The gross
receipts were $360 from two soldout shows in Mahon Hall at $1 per
head.
The play went on to the Vancouver Island Drama Festival in
Duncan where it won most of the
awards in the "New Performing
Groups" class. There were six new
groups from as far away as Powell
River and six long-established
groups.
The last $19 from the Players'
half of the original "take" was spent
on hiring a fishboat to get the members who had to work the next
capital
COMMENT
HUBERT BEYER
VICTORIA — Once again I have to come to the defence of a
premier going on trade missions. For as long as I canremember,the
myopic set has criticized premiers for spending taxpayers' money
to lead trade missions to Europe and Asia
Bill Bennett was familiar with the cheap shots from a cynical and
uninformed public that invariably accompanied his trade missions.
So was Bill VanderZalm. In every case I felt compelled to take their
side. Now it's Mike Harcourt's turn.
During the premier's recent trip to Asia the Liberals were
carping at every occasion, complaining about his "junket," saying
he should have stayed at home and attended to the province's
business.
It may have escaped the opposition that drumming up business
in foreign markets is absolutely vital to the province's interests. And
nothing lends more clout and credibility to a trade mission, attended
by business leaders, than the presence of a top political leader.
O
n his recent trip, Harcourt was accompanied by a number of
British Columbia's business, labour and academic leaders.
They visited Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and China, all of which are
experiencing phenomenal economic growth.
The whole Asia region has become British Columbia's secondlargest export market, and Harcourt says "there is nothing but
further opportunities for B.C. products, talents and technology in
that region."
The challenge in China, he says, is to find practical ways of
conducting business in a country that is adopting more of an open
market economy.
"In certain regions of the country market economies are taking
over and in Guandong province particularly, the annual growth rate
is running at 14 per cent," the premier says. Wish we could point to
such growth.
Harcourt expects the Guandong region to be of great interest for
Canadian companies, particularly in the fields of transportation,
mfrastructure and telecommunications. B.C. Hydro, he says, will
be exploring opportunities there for itsfirstventure into the Chinese
market
I
n all of Asia the belief that China will become the next economic
superpower is evident. We in Canada must take advantage of the
opportunities while continuing to press China to live up to its
responsibilities on human rights issues," the premier says.
In Japan, according to Harcourt, opportunities abound for British
Columbia. Already B.C.'s most important market in Asia, Japan, is
refocusing its development. The new direction is to achieve a better
quality of life for workers, and that, the premier says, presents
unparalleled opportunities for British Columbia
"Japanese companies like Mitsui and Mitsubishi told me of
demand for better living conditions, starting with a modern home.
B.C. forest products for construction and interior decoration are
among the first choice for potential home buyers."
While in Tokyo, Harcourt helped open a "Good Living" show.
One of the best exhibits he saw was a display of building materials,
including full floor-to-ceiling construction, closets, window and
door frames, all made with B.C. lumber.
"B .C. companies such as Priinex, Merritt Kitchens and Panabode
who accompanied me understand the potential and are moving in
on that growing market," says Harcourt.
W
hile in Japan, the premier signed an agreement with Nippon
cable that permits a long-term lease of the Tod Mountain ski
area near Kamloops. Work on a new ski lift will start this fall, and
new ski runs will open this coming winter.
The company has plans for further expansion of the ski resort,
including a recreation development with housing and a village
centre.
The premier warned, however, that some obstacles to increased
exports into the Japanese market must be overcome. He questioned,
for instance, the eight per cent tariff on B.C. spruce, pine and fir
forest products, calling it an unfair tariff that precludes increased
sales into that market.
"Our ability to supply more forest products to Japan could be
enhanced by reducing or eliminating this tariff," he says.
In Hong Kong, the premier finalized an agreement to have two
major shipping companies locate offices in the international
maritime centre in Vancouver. He expects other companies to
follow.
To criticize these endeavours as a waste of money is shortsighted in the extreme. I expect betterfromthe public and certainly
from the opposition. In today's global economy, you don't get
results by sitting at home. You have to make calls.

Oil spill clean-up team practises in Trincomali
Residents on the northeast side
of Salt Spring may have seen lights
and some activity in Trincomali
Channel last Wednesday night and
Thursday morning, when an oil
spill response team was practising
near Governor Rock.
Burrard Clean Operations Ltd.
and the Canadian Coast Guard
were testing some oil-spill equipment and clean-up techniques, Burrard Clean general manager
Martyn Green told the Driftwood.
Hanna adds
fourth
flight
A local airline has added a
fourth, regularly scheduled flight
between Ganges and Vancouver to
its summer schedule.
Randy Hanna of Hanna's Air
Salt Spring said the new flight has
been added in response to growing
demand.
The new flight leaves Ganges at
4 p.m. and Vancouver at 5 pan., and
began on Tuesday.
"It is busy. It is really going
gang-busters," Hanna said.
"We were simulating an operational activity and looking at the
operational aspects of putting a
boom in the water."
Burrard Clean, an oil spill
response co-operative funded by
the oil industry, has been in existence since 1976.
It has been involved in nearly
400 oil spill operations, mostly
small spills related to commercial
and private craft, Green said.
Fifteen months ago, Burrard
Clean bought a barge to carry boom
and deployment equipment. The
barge is based at Patricia Bay in
Saanich.
The co-operative and the Coast
Guard wanted to see how the equipment could be deployed at night
and how the Coast Guard helicopter would be used.
A representative of the Danish
boom manufacturer was on hand to
evaluate the tests and equipment
"It was a real learning experience," Ganges Coast Guard officer-in- charge Dave Howell said.
"It went off quite well. Whenever and Coast Guard or other vessels
there is an oil spill the Coast Guard can be used to put it in place.

MAIL
From Page A1
The boxes will be installed
where a road is wide enough, for
safety reasons, and will be maintained by a contractor who will be
responsible for any snow removal
or lock problems.
The community mail boxes will
not be located in the manner
originally reported by Canada Post
representatives. Instead, they will
replace the existing green ones, and
in some cases new sites will be
created.
"The boxes will be located as
conveniently as possible for the
community," Campbell said.
Because most people on the island do not live in Ganges or in
Fulford Harbour, mailing addresses will no longer use either as their
destination. The new format will
consist of the recipient's name,
street address, and "Salt Spring Island, B.C.," as well as the new postal code.
"The common thread that every
islander has is they live on Salt
Spring," Campbell said.
He said the new system will also
enable islanders to receive priorityservice mail at their door. When
priority mail arrives at the post office, it usually contains a mail box
address. Without the street address,
it is difficult to deliver. The new
system should improve that service.
The island will be divided into
eight sections in a process that will
be implemented over about 12
months.
Campbell said the proper ad-
dressing of homes is going to become more important as the island
grows, for emergency services as
well as the postal system.
He is working to identify all
street addresses on the island, as
well as all street names. There are
some anomalies among the latter.
Government maps often show one
spelling of a street name while local
maps show another. For example,
one map reads Maliview, while
another reads Mai view.
As each section of die island is
brought into die new system, mail
will have to be redirected. The post
office will have a computer system
installed "that will allow us to
quickly cross-relate any old address to the new address."
Customers will be provided
with prepaid change-of-address
cards.
Local mail will also be handled
differendy when the new system is
implemented. Campbell is recommending two street letter boxes be
placed in front of the post offices—
one for off-island mail and one for
local mail.
Canada Post will also offer two
or three "call-for points" which are
places — usually in stores—where
people can pick up parcels or special delivery mail. Call-for points
are similar to mini-post offices except they usually offer only mail
pick-up services.
Canada Post will be displaying
a sample community mail box in
front of the post offices this summer.

To provide an indication of what
it is local RCMP do while on duty,
here is a diary from Friday night.
7:05 p.m. A local resident
brings his vehicle into the police

Rob Doyle measure the width of
the wheelbase to match some tire
tracks. The owner said his vehicle
had been used to do some damage

to wait until the morning.
10:50 p.m. We answer a call to
an incredibly loud alarm at
Dag wood's Diner. After thoroughly checking the outside of the building, Wass and Byron find nothing
wrong. We wait for the owner to
arrive, and he turns off the alarm.
12:40 a.m. We bead out in the
police car to check various areas of
the island.
The rain seems to have deterred
party-goers as we do not find any
activity.
After heading to Vesuvius we
stop two suspicious-looking
vehicles, only tofindthey both contain lost tourists.

1:40 a.m. As we are driving
back towards Ganges, Wass begins
to notice something wrong with the
car. He manages to get to the Shell
station in town, where the car dies
— a problem with the water pump.
We wait 40 minutes for the tow
truck to take the car to the garage,
during which time the officers express their anger with the brokendown car.
They just do not make police
cars like they used to.
2:30 a.m. We arrive back at the
police station at the end of the shift.
The evening may not have been
consumed by high-speed car chases
and suspenseful arrests, but it did
offer some insight into the workings of the RCMP.
Police hand out a few
warnings for broken
headlights
7:20 p.m. It becomes obvious
how much paperwork is involved
with this job. Both Wass and Doyle
spend time returning calls and filling out forms. Wass tells me he
spends more than half his time
doing paperwork.
7:50 p.m. Const. Doyle gives
me a tour of the "crowbar hotel",
also known as the holding cells, and
the processing and telephone
rooms. Contrary to what television
portrays, prisoners are given as
many telephone calls as is
reasonable to obtain legal assistance. Doyle also shows me the
breathalyser unit, where police test
suspected drinking drivers. He assures me that although the machine
may look archaic, it is absolutely
accurate.
8:30 p.m. After signing my life
away, Wass and I head out to the
car where auxiliary member Pat
Byron is checking to make sure
everything is in order. Wass said
the oil and all the lights are checked
before the vehicle is used.
The rear seat is also checked to
make sure any previous occupants
have not dropped anything.
This is an important step because if police find some evidence
in the back seat after taking someone to the station, they will know
who the evidence belongs to.
After thoroughly checking the
car, we head to the Harbour House
pub, where we are supposed to
serve a warrant to a man with an
unpaid fine.
Wass and Doyle enter the pub
and find their man. A conversation
reveals that he has apparently already paid the fine.
8:55 p.m. We set out to the
home of another island resident to
serve a warrant. However, the person is not home.
The next step is a roadblock.
Wearing bright orange vests and
waving flashlights, members stop
traffic to check for drinking drivers,
seatbelt use and deficiencies with
vehicles.

Dealing with peer pressure:
Lions support school program
Teaching youngsters some practical ways of dealing with peer pressure is one of the primary goals of
the Quest program, sponsored in local elementary
schools by area Lions clubs.
"It's a good program," Salt Spring Lions Club
member Barry Urquhart says. "It deals with issues
such as peer pressure, abuse and alcohol.
"They sit down in the classroom and talk openly
about things, like 'if I don't smoke ajoint with you will
I still be your friend?'"
All grade six, seven and eight students in the Gulf
Islands school district are involved in the program,
thanks to the sponsorship of Lions clubs on each of the
islands. The Lions pay for the guidebooks and the
workbooks and send teachers on a three-day workshop
to leam about the program goals. So far about 30
teachers have been trained.
"It really understands the adolescent," Fernwood
school vice- principal Ken Mackie said. "It is absolutely suitable. It helps them make responsible decisions."
The students work with each other, with the teacher
YOUR LOCAL PARTS
and with parents as the program unfolds. There is also
the capacity to work with the community at some
levels.
The program allows students to dissect and discuss
real-life issues around peer relationships, family
relationships and making responsible decisions.
What is a good friend? What is a bad friend? How
do you say no to a friend without breaking the
friendship?
Quest equips students with different answers and
different methods of dealing with situations like
shoplifting, smoking, drinking and drugs, Mackie said.
It teaches kids how to change one suggested activity
— shoplifting — to another, like swimming.
In addition, Mackie said, because every grade six,
seven and eight student is in the program, he can set a
very good tone in the classroom when dealing with
problems between children. Everyone knows what
he's talking about. The Quest program has introduced
all of the common peer relationship situations and
already got the kids thinking about them.
than two and a half years after the
original incidents.
"Once a court order has been
made, it can't be changed to be
more onerous," she said. "The only
way we could get it changed was \i
they volunteered to come back.
"In order to motivate the kids, I
told them if you work your hours
off and get everything done, I will
recommend to the court that the
probation order be stayed. The
court makes the final decision. But
it motivated the kids to take responsibility.
"Now, most have done their 150
hours of work service. I see them
all as taking this seriously. It's important for the community to see
that justice was being done and the
victims were being paid."
The youths who spoke to the
Driftwood do not begrudge the
punishments they were given, but
they said the court system could
deal with young offenders a lot better and a lot faster.
"The way they do the court is
dumb," the first youth said. "They
tell us to appear at 10 (am.) and we
don't get in until 1 (p.m.).
"It took a very long time. We
waited three hours one day and they
tell us to come back in four months.
"I want to deal with it in one day.
If you're caught skipping school
they don't suspend you a month
later."
Both the youths said the way the
restitution was worked out was unfair. Stolen items that were
returned were paid for and youths
who did not take anything ended up
paying for ones who did.
The youths also said they felt the
community makes a bigger deal of
youth crime than adult crime, and
they think that is unfair.
"(The community) kinda made
a big deal about it," the first youth
said. "(If it were) adults that did it,
it would just be a little blurb in the
paper."
The youths said the two-page
special sections on youth and crime
in the Driftwood November 18 and
25 last year did not help them.
Where are the adult crime
centrefolds in the paper, they
asked.
They both feel they have been
unfairly singled out as a group by
members of the community and by

teachers, who tie a Mahon Hall
break-in a year ago to all seven
youths.
Langlois does not want to play
down the seriousness of getting
into trouble with the law. But these
days there is a greater awareness of
problems relating to crime and a
greater openness to admit them.
"Drugs and alcohol have been
around a long time. Some kids are
learning-disabled, some have drug
and alcohol problems, some have
parents with drug and alcohol
problems.
"Anything that keeps people out
of jail is good. Community work
service is the best thing that's happened to the justice system. The
best possible outcome is that they
feel positive about themselves.
"Some of these kids come in
with their chin right on the ground.
I told (one), these are the things you
can do." She suggested hefinishhis
community work service hours,
write letters of apology, and get the
money together.
"The next time he came in, he
handed me the letter and the money
for the restitution.
"He wrote it himself. He was
grinning from ear to ear. Mother
and son giggled together.
"In the past he'd been a little
shit. Now he seems to have better
self-esteem, better relationships
with his family."
After so long with this series of
break-and-enters hanging over
their heads, it is hard for die kids to
be philosophical about it. For 13
and 14-year-olds, September 1991
seems a very long time ago.
"Everyone changes in two
years," one youth said.
"I'm glad I got this out of my
system when I'm young," the other
added. "I don't want to go to court

Island nurse promotes value
of therapeutic touch
By GRAEME THOMPSON
Driftwood Staff
As the strains of modern
medicine and modern health care
grow more acute, people who are ill
are looking for alternatives. One of
the healing alternatives which is
gaining more andriloreattention is
therapeutic touch.
"People are looking for more
answers. People are looking for
other choices," says island nurse
and therapeutic touch practitioner
Phyllis Coleman. "(Therapeutic
touch) is growing by leaps and
bounds all over the world."
Therapeutic touch has been
called a modern kind of laying on
of hands. It is based on the fundamental assumption that there is a
universal energy that sustains life
and that this universal energy has
order and balance as its base.
Therapeutic touch is a hearing
technique, not a curing technique,
and has more in common with raiki
than surgery. Unlike other nonstandard healing techniques, however, therapeutic touch is practised
in hospitals and is taught in medical
programs at universities.
"The body's natural state is
balance," Coleman said. "Balance
equals health."
Dl-health is when the body is out
of balance. Therapeutic touch is a
means of finding that balance once
more. It is about working with energy, different levels of energy in the
body,
"I don't do the hearing. You do
the healing. I'm just a vehicle for
that energy to come through and
put it where it's needed.
'There's energy around us all
the time—like the radio," she said.
"It's like when you go into a room
and you sense something from
somebody else, like when you sit
down next to someone on a bus and
you sense how they're feeling.
"You pick up feelings, sadness,
happiness. We all are conscious of
these things on a day-to-day basis.
We don't end at our skin."
Dolores Krieger, a professor of
nursing in New York, and Dora
Kunz, a noted healer, introduced
therapeutic touch into the
American health care system in the
early 1970s. Since then more than
80 universities in more than 60
countries have started teaching mis
healing technique in medical
programs.
Coleman, who has been a nurse
at Greenwoods for the past 13
years, has been interested in alternative healing techniques for more
than 20 years. Five years ago, she
became seriously interested in
therapeutic touch.
Hearing with therapeutic touch
is more than knowing what it is and
how to do it, Coleman said. To be
an effective healer, die practitioner
must have intention — the desire to
help someone; compassion — this
is not an ego Uip; the ability to be
centred; and the ability to face
oneself — you have to know why
you are doing this.
Understanding who you are and
why you want to learn will help a
person become a conduit to the
energy that therapeutic touch uses.
That and practice.
Therapeutic touch has been
found to work well with a wide
variety of conditions and problems
and has been used in conjunction
with other medical techniques and
procedures as well as on its own.
Circulatory, lymphatic and
musculoskeletal problems respond
well to therapeutic touch. It has
been found to be effective with
manic depressives, catatonics and
hyperkinetic children. On the other
hand, it has been ineffective with
problems related to the pituitary
gland and has not helped
schizophrenics.
Therapeutic touch makes
medication last longer and helps
wounds heal faster. It lessens agitation and relieves pain, and is used
widely in hospice care to make
dying easier.
"When people are dying it really
helps them. It gives them more
energy to do the things they have to
First 1/2 hr. consultation free

BARRISTERS & SOLICITORS
do in order to let go."
Therapeutic touch is also nonevasive: there is no surgery, no
anaesthetic, no hospital stays.
There are no negative side effects,
because there are no foreign substances entering the body. Treatment is on a scale and timetable that
suits each individual's ability to
heal themselves.
"It's not a quick process," she
said. "It takes time for the healer
and the client to work together."
And it takes time to learn.
Coleman is offering her third
workshop on therapeutic touch this
weekend. For more information,

NO FIRES: There were no fires reported on
Salt Spring Island Saturday, but there were
lots of firefighters around. Volunteers with
the Salt Spring fire department converged
on Ganges to conduct their annual fundraising drive for muscular dystrophy. At top,
department dispatcher Gina Messam accepts a donation from island resident Alice
Bundock. Above, resident Joan Buckley and
friend Muriel Wicks, visiting from England,
make their donation to firefighters Jim

Movement can be joyful and

learn about dance when they take a
Roberta Meilleur workshop.
"World dance is an ancient way
of moving," Meilleur said. "All it
is, is just joyous movement
"People have been conditioned
to be ashamed of their bodies and
the way they work, so many do not
realize how physically and emotionally uplifting dance can be.

By GRAEME THOMPSON

If the words Old South mean
orange juice to you, Off Centre
Stage's Theatre of Tennessee Williams is a Vitamin C overload. But
instead of finding Hollywoodesque
Ashley Wilkes and Scarlet O'-
Haras, Williams' plays cutopen the
fabric of southern life and turn it
inside out. Propriety reins in desire;
one generation holds back the next,
or the last; the past constrains the
present and future.
The tension that binds idolized
belles and guilt-ridden beaus is the

glue of Williams' works and the six

are among the stickiest
The set design and lighting are
simple but effective, with soft
colours and flowing drapery. The
odd but not intrusive sound effects
are a reminder that Williams used
every tool at his disposal to
heighten the dramatic tension.
Words are of extreme importance to a playwright, and to Williams this is especially so. Not only
is his choice of words always important, buteven characters' names
are chosen for their meaning or
sound. The program notes, which
are extremely informative, point
this out, but it is hard to understand
until the words are actually heard.
The difficulty of this theatrical
production is its ambition. One
Tennessee Williams play is heavy
enough; six parts of plays are almost overwhelming.

The Great Island Tradition Every Saturday Night
Not only is the context and
build-up of each play lost considerably, but the six significant sections
presented give no psychological
break or comfort to the audience at
all.
One full play or two short ones
would have been theatrically much
more satisfying. But for those who
want a quick-fix of Tennessee Williams — this is the showtosee.
The strongest performances in
thefirsthalf of the evening's entertafruneut were Alexandra Del Lago
(April Curtis) in Sweet Bird of
Youth, AlmaWinemiller(Susheela
Myers) in Summer and Smoke and
Blanche Dubois (Debbie Magnusson) in Streetcar Named Desire.
In the first, Curtis plays an aging
alcoholic screen star who runs into
an under-achieving gigolo after a
disastrous comeback. Curtis, who
directs all the scenes, clearly knows
and understands Williams well.
Her regal self-assurance and innate
superioritytotteringon the brink of
helpless self-destruction is convincing.
In the second, Myers plays a
mousy will-o'-the-wisp lady in
frail health who has found the
strength to voice her desire. She is
willing to throw convention to the
wind for love. When she is rejected
by her would-be lover, you can see
the Book of Etiquette enveloping
her again, like a cloud that smothers
emotion.
The snippet of Streetcar was too
short. I wanted to hear more of

memorable character in Iguana.
The contemptuous raging of a
caged lion came across very well in
the scornful but passionate priest. It
was clear, too, with the fumbling
collar stud, how stage direction and
script reinforce one another in a
Williams play.
In the second piece, the
audience could compare the dispassionate, gentlemanly doctor
(Arvid Chalmers) and the unstable
coquette (Kathleen Measures) who

Magnusson rail against her ungrateful city-dwelling sister. The
one scene is an ill-conceived
monologue, regardless of its
academic relationship in the body

has fallen apart after the death of
her cousin, Sebastian. This scene
sounded more southern than any of
the others and had more drama in
it
The finest moment for me, however, was in the final scene, Orpheus Descending, wheneverCarol
Cutrere (Barb Slater) was on stage.
Men generally have not been given
passionate parts in these six snippets, and it is only because
Williams' sense of sensuality is so
strong that those parts stick in the
memory.
Slater's character is more earthy
and less constrained by gentility
than the others. Her movements
across the stage, her love of the call
of the chawk-daw and her description of "juking" bring to life the
natural disorder and steaminess of
the south that is the real counterpoint to the image of cotton plantations and cotillions.

There are good times to sell. And there are bad times to
sell. The best time to sell is when a person is ready to buy. And
when people are ready to buy, they turn to their newspaper. Not
their mailbox.
Too many rimes, advertising mail comes at exacdy the
wrong time, mixed among your important daily mail. Perhaps that
explains why three times as many people would prefer to receive
their advertising information from a paper.
Newspaper readers share a common curiosity about
people, places, facts andfigures.And prices. People turn to their
newspaper for the latest price information, and they turn there
with interest. Which means that's where your advertising message
needs to be.
With all the choices available, it's difficult deciding how
best to advertise your business. But everything becomes a little
simpler when you remember one r u l e . . .
