Tanner
tops poll
Gordon Wilson's performance in
the leadership debate made the difference in Saanich North and the Islands, says newly-elected MLA
Give Tanner.
Second-place finisher and NDP
candidate Elsie McMurphy agreed.
By IAN NOBLE
Driftwood Staff Writer
Tanner topped the poll with
12,133 votes, followed by McMurphy with 7,650. Socred Richard
Holmes was third with 2,524 followed by Don Hutchings with 471
and Thomas Aussenegg with 81.

Speaking on election night, shortly before McMurphy conceded
defeat. Tanner said the debate was
very important to his own election
and also to the campaign of every
Liberal candidate as well.
"What we were getting on the
door right from the beginning is we
are not voting for the government."
he said in the midst of his small campaign headquarters packed with upbeat Liberal supporters and local
television and radio media.
"The next step was what do they
do then? What I was hearing was they
couldn't vote for the NDP so they
parked it for a week or two.
"Then the debate came and they
saw somebody they could have confidence in and trust.
"That was Gordon Wilson and

Clam licence causes confusion
A shellfish harvesting licence for
the Booth Bay area was amended by
the Department of Fisheries and
ByGAILSJUBERG
Driftwood Staff Writer
Oceans Monday after it was found to
have been granted in a provincial
Crown lands reserve area.
Telephone calls made by Salt
Spring Island residents unhappy with
granting of the contaminated
shellfish harvesting licence to
Cooper's Cove Oyster Farm Ltd. led
to the lands and parks ministry informing fisheries about the reserve.
Fisheries and oceans' fisheries
branch district supervisor Kit Slater
in Nanaimo told Driftwood Monday
the licence was amended after the
lands ministry informed them much
of the area granted to Cooper's Cove
Oyster Farm Ltd. was in what is
known as a Section 12 (Land Act)
map reserve.
He said the licence was subsequently changed to include only
Parties set dump closure tab
Costs to close the Blackburn Landfill site are not
yet Gnalized but three parties will share the costs.
Operator Norm Twa, the Capital Regional District
(CRD), and the provincial government will each pay
a third of the cost.
Twa said Monday the cost of the landfill closure
depends on what the environment ministry and the
CRD want done to close the site.
"We're heckling and hashing it out now," he said.
"We're making quite a bit of headway. We should
know in two or three weeks."
Twa said he met with CRD and provincial environment ministry officials three weeks ago at the
landfill site. A verbal agreement was reached that
each party would pay a third towards the cost of closing the dump.
"We haven't signed anything yet," he cautioned.
"Near as I know it will cost me between 530,000 and
535,000."
CRD director Julia Atkins said the Blackburn
closure will likely total about 5120,000. The estimated total "assumes everything will be simple and
straightforward and there are no nasty surprises."
If there are "nasty surprises" such as leachate,
they will have to be dealt with and the closure
process will require re-thinking, she said.
The CRD just wants to be "rid" of the Blackburn
dumpsite, she said. "Thirty or 40 or 50 thousand dollars is inexpensive to be rid of a problem. They are
happy Blackburn is closing.
"For them it is a liability over which they felt they
had no control."

the reserve and parts of Burgoyne
Bay. "The north side (of Booth Bay)
is open and still vacant foreshore,"
said Slater.

Just one of those weeks
Nobody knows the trouble I've
seen. — Old blues refrain
It has not been a good week so far,
friends. For one thing, my trusty fourwheeled rustbusket has come down
with an asthmatic and expensive
sounding rasp in its carburetored
throat. Then there's that phone message from the bank asking me to call
back ASAP. Plus the envelope from
Revenue Canada that I 've been shuffling to the bottom of the in basket
since last Thursday. And those shooting stars I see every time I bend over
to tie my shoelaces.
Know what I like to do when my
troubles start to pile up? Besides wri ting a whiny column about it, I mean?
I like to dig out a tome called T)\e
Book of Failures by Stephen Pile. It
is subtitled "A Splendid Panorama of
Non-Achievement" — and indeed it
is. Chronicled on the pages of The
Book of Failures are the not-quitefeats and close-but-no-Patella attempts of dozens upon dozens of
fellow schlemiels whose run of bad
luck makes me feel like changing my
name to Leif the Lucky.
Such as? Well, such as the members of a British scuba-diving club
who decided to get themselves into
the Guinness Book of World Records
by taking the plunge into the most
inaccessible body of water in the entire British Isles. Poring over maps,
they found Scotland's remotest loch.
They rented Land Rovers, Highland
guides and mountain climbing gear.
They drove 740 chassis-fracturing
miles, clambered 7,000 feet up a
mountainside. They found their loch,
made camp, donned their scuba gear,
took the icy plunge into the black,
foreboding waters...
And discovered that the loch was
four feet deep.
A person could have worse luck.
A person could be Michael Fish.
Michael Fish is—or possibly was —
a British television weatherman.
Back in 1987, he took a call from
some semi-hysterical viewer who
had heard that a hurricane was on the
way. "Nonsense!" snapped Mister
Fish. "There will be sea breezes and
some showery airflow," he promised.
On national television.
Within the hour, Britain had lost
COURT Docket
Two women were convicted
Wednesday in Ganges provincial
court of drinking and driving.
Adecn Hutchinson. 68, was convicted of operating a vehicle with a
blood-alcohol content of more than
80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood.
"It took me to age 68 to ever get
picked up," Hutchinson said, and adding that was not because of poor
policing. "I 've never done this sort of
thing before."
Crown counsel Stephen Fudge
said police were called with complaints of a drunk driver in the Fulford area on December 13, 1990.
Police responded and found a car
with Oregon licence plates travelling
northbound on Fulford-Ganges road.
The car pulled over into the parking lot of the Fulford Community
Centre and police found Hutchinson
behind the wheel with the engine running. The officer noticed a strong
odour of alcohol in the car.
Hutchinson was asked to get out
of the car and she needed the aid of
the door to help herself out. Police
testified she was disoriented and had
trouble finding her licence. A
breathalyzer performed at 8:56 p.m.
found her blood alcohol level to be
130 milligrams and a further sample
read 120 milligrams.
Hutchinson said she intended to
park the car and get some rest, and
admitted she had made a mistake
driving the car. She was fined $350
and lost her driving privileges in
Canada for a year. Hutchinson
resides half the year in Oregon and
half the year in Ganges.
LorettaTaylor, a 64-year-old resident of Victoria pleaded guilty to
having a blood alcohol content of
more than 80 milligrams in connection with an August 16 incident on
Salt Spring.
rm^^m
"I know I had a party the night
before," she told the judge. "I consumed a bit too much alcohol. That's
about it."
Counsel Fudge said police were
alerted to a possible impared driver
by B.C. Ferry Corporation
employees. Constable Pat Wilkinson
of Ganges RCMP responded to the
call and observed a vehicle travelling
north-bound on Fulfc rd-Ganges road
weaving slightly.
Wilkinson activated his emergency lights to signal the car to pull over
but received no response. He then
sounded his siren and the car still did
not pull over.
Wilkinson sounded his siren
again and the car pulled over. Taylor
produced her licence without difficulty although the officer noticed
the smell of alcohol and spotted a
wine bottle in the car.
300 miles of power cables, all rail
transportation, access to 200 roads
and one-quarter of all the trees in
Kent. Contrary to Mister Fish's assurances it was a hurricane — the
worst to hit the U.K. in three centuries.
My last piece of bad news comes
not from The Book of Failures but the
pages of a recent newspaper. It concerns the shoplifting trial of Florence
Power of New Jersey. Ms. Powers'
psychiatrist testified that his client
should be found innocent because
she was under stress at the time of the
incidents, due to: a recent auto accident, a traffic ticket, a new-car purchase, overwork, husband's kidney
stones, husband's asthma, hot
flashes, vaginal itch, a bad rash, fear
of cancer, fear of dental surgery,
son's asthma, mother's illness, aunt's
illness, pressure of organizing
parents' 50th wedding anniversary,
need to cook Thanksgiving dinner for
20 relatives, purchase of 200 gifts for
Christmas and Hanukkah, stress of
selling house without realtor, lawsuit
against wallpaper cleaners, purchase
of furniture that had to be returned,
and a faulty toilet.
I don't know about you, but a
litany of misery like that automatically makes me feel better.
Not Ms. Powers' though, I guess.
She's got one new woe to add to
her list.
A shoplifting conviction.

Vehicle fire
deliberate
Ganges RCMP and firefighters
investigated a report of vehicles on
fire in Richard Murakami's storage
garage on Rainbow Road last Wednesday afternoon.
Murakami said all car doors in the
garage were wide open. A fire had
been started in one vehicle and spread
to ar, adjacent one. Both cars were
fully insured, he said.
Arson was definitely suspected,
he said. "The car the fire was started
in had no battery in it, so it wouldn't
be spontaneous."

decided to engage in a do-it-yourself
project rather than hire house-numbering experts. Armed with a complete set of island maps and charts,

set of plans envisioned a bridge from
the Saanich Peninsula to Salt Spring
Island, with another bridge to
Galiano Island. The choice of plans
was to be left with the planning committee of the CRD.
•Thunder echoed across the harbour, and lightning split the skies as
a storm lashed through Ganges and
left large hail stones littered about the
town.
•As contract negotiations began
between Gulf Islands teachers and
the school board, the union indicated
it would attempt to talk about learning conditions with the board.
Teachers wanted to discuss class
sizes, aides, classroom conditions
and teacher involvement in budget
setting.
•A misinterpretation of the education ministry's equal ization plan may
have cost the Gulf Islands school district at least $1.85 million from 1977.
The ministry had been keeping
various amounts of Gulf Islands
taxes each year for distribution to
other school districts in the province.
A law firm, asked for an interpretation of the two sections of the School
Act dealing with the collection and
distribution to taxes, concluded the
ministry had been wrong. School
board chairman, Strick Aust said the
matter would be looked into and
money reclaimed with interest.

Ethiopian seeds topic
for visiting speaker
A visiting speaker will discuss
"Seeds of Survival", a program
designed to conserve and enhance the
local seeds of Ethiopia, at the Salt
Spring Centre Friday night.
Unitarian Service Committee of
representative Marie Dulude
id there has been a disruption to
Ethiopia's seed diversity because of
drought, famine, war, and imported
food grains. She has met with farmers
and scientists working to conserve
and enhance Ethiopian seeds.
"Despite the challenges they are
producing harvests from traditional
seed varieties that were thought lost,"
said Dulude, who is in Vancouver
this week speaking about efforts to
protect traditional, environmentally
sound agriculture.
"After the devastating droughts
that hit African countries such as
Ethiopia, Ethiopian scientists noticed
with alarm that often the most severely affected crops were those planted
with modern imported seed
varieties," states a USC Canada
pamphlet.
"The genetic conformity of these
imported seeds, their requirements
for high cost inputs like chemical
fertilizer and pesticides, and their lowtolerance for drought and vulnerability to disease, made them
especially fragile."
The pamphlet states traditional
seeds developed over the centuries
under local conditions proved hardier
and more tolerant to drought conditions.
Dulude has also visited Mali,
where she witnessed achievements of
rural farmers on a USC-supported
project which provided tree seedlings
to village families.
"These trees will protect the area
from advancing sand dunes,
replenish the soil, provide shaded
areas, and be used for traditional
medicines."
Dulude will speak Friday, October 25 at 7:30 p.m. For further information, interested readers are
invited to contact Dan Jason at 5375269.

Workshop focuses on
ritual abuse symptoms
Detecting and dealing with victims of "ritual abuse" is the subject of a
workshop offered on Salt Spring November 1.
Vancouver-based therapist Daniela Coates offers the afternoon
workshop at the Community Centre to educate people about the
phenomenon and its effects.
It will be particularly useful to counsellors, doctors and medical
workers, social services workers, teachers, police officers and caregivers of
any kind.
The workshop defines ritual abuse as practised by some cults and
describes signs and symptoms exhibited by a survivor of past abuse.
Coates dissects the mind control techniques used by abusers which she
says are similar to, but more sophisticated than, those used by prisoners of
war in places like Korea.
Many victims of ritual abuse exhibit signs of post-traumatic stress and
"overwhelming" feelings with an unexplained source when, as adults, they
may actually begin to remember something, she explains.
Coates also differentiates ritual abuse from different kinds of childhood
trauma like sexual abuse.
She is a founding member of an organization called Trance. Under its
name she operated a 24-hour crisis line for ritual abuse survivors. However,
she had to limit the crisis line when demand for it increased to the point
where she was handling calls from all over North America. She now
operates a therapy practice with one other person.
Through a trance medium she has talked to over 250 victims of ritual
abuse during the past two and-a-half years. She has researched the subject
for three and-a-half years.
The workshop runs from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Community Centre on
Friday, November 1. Admission is by donation, with $10 suggested.
In British Columbia there are more than 3000 foster
families providing caring, stable homes for children

Tennis season wraps up
Salt Spring Island Tennis Club's
last event of the summer season was
a mixed doubles which attracted 12
couples and had a waiting list.
This first of its kind event was
listed as a "Sadie Hawkins" tournament in which ladies invited
gentlemen of their choice. Each
couple formed a third of a team. In
all, four teams played against each
other.
Dress up was optional and some
well-known players could hardly be
recognized with their strange wigs
and painted faces. Prizes for costumes were awarded to Barb Davis
and Jack Fisher. Membersof the winning team, the Marauding Mooneys,
were runners-up to the Copasetic McCoys and received tennis balls for
their prizes.
In the evening, festivities continued. Members and friends attended a buffet supper at the Golf
Club which was followed by a
general meeting.
Tennis association president
Denis McMaster congratulated the
outgoing board and welcomed new
members. The new executive was announced by nominating committee
chairman Peter Lamb.
Gulf Island Tournament trophies
were presented by Paul .Wright. After
a discussion on proposed winter tennis, three special presentations were
made: most improved player - Sepp
Kandler, True Grit award- Use Foster
and a life membership to Jack Fisher.

Old Boys' great soccer shutout streak ends
One of his own players finally puts the ball past O}Henry the super netminder to crack the record
Old Boys 2, WCT 1
Winning pressure soccer games is
critical to the success of any team and
the Old Boys rose up to that challenge
in defeating the previouly unbeaten
WCT 2-1 last Sunday at the Ganges
School field.
By MALCOLM LEGG
Driftwood Contributor
The local lads had the pre-game
jitters, evidenced by the number of
Geritol bottles and A535 tubes being
used before the game. Even Henry
"The Legend" smoked more than the
usual amount of cigarettes in the pregame warm-up.
For the Old Boys there were some
good signs, as they had 17 players
SOCCER Kicks
which gave them a lot of depth and
the return of Ingwer "Das Kaiser"
Nagel on the wing was sure to put
fear in WCT's defence.
The Old Boys once again got off
to a great start as Alvaro Sanchez
scored off a rebound from Rich
Lopuschinsky 's shot, giving the team
an early lead.
Salt Spring had little time to enjoy
the lead when WCT was awarded a
free kick. The kick was curled
towards the goal and Bill Lea made a
fine run to meet the cross and deftly
head the ball past a bewildered Hank
Braak in goal.
Yes, fans, I guess it had to happen,
the end of "The Legend's" string of
shut-outs, unfortunately it was by one
of our own players.
As the cries of "Oh No, Henry"
died down and the team congratu-
lated Bill on a fine header (you know
with that ability maybe he should be
a forward), the Old Boys went back
to work.
And work the team did as only
minutes later they had their lead back
as this time Rich's cross found a sliding Geoff Fishleigh for the winning
score.
Although all the scoring was
finished there wasa lot of soccer still
to come into play. The Old Boys kept
the pressure on the W.C.T. team by
constantly attacking, utilizing quick
changes to let the old geezers catch
their breath.
All in all another solid win as the
lads, sponsored by Harbour House,
can all feel proud of their 6-0 record,
and they are; Henry Braak, Graham
Tweedle, Gerard Zentner, Mike
Davis, Bill Lea, Cory Hagen, Doug
Pearson, Jack Braak, Meror Krayenhoff, Ingwer Nagel, Tony Finlay,
Steve Harmer, Alvaro Sanchez, Gary
McNutt, Geoff Fishleigh, Rich
Lopuschinsky, John Oldroyd, this
writer and of course coach and
refreshments warden Cal Mckay.
With their undefeated record they
are sure to move from C to B level of
the Over 30s. Playing under pressure
will be a weekly event.
This weekend though the team
gets a break with an exhibition match
in Port Alberni and we all know how
this team loves their road trips.

The Criers Trophy, eligible to non-winning participants in the ladies' 18hole 1991 season was presented October 15. The "non-winning" winner of
this ambiguous award was Margie Mills. Runners-up were Mona Coulter
and Maxine Whorley each scoring 74 net, one stroke off the lead.
"Non-Criers", another variant of the game, added further complexities.
The winners (or presumably "winning" winners) were Anne Monroe (69
net) and Val Stewart (72 net).
The putt pott was won by Shirley Parsons (25).
Island golfers in the men's division competed for a honey pot Thursday,
October 17. Gross flight winners were G. McLeod (77) and M. Young.
Winners of the net flight were J. Ellacott (65), B. Marshall (66), R. Dickson

GISS school runners
impressing coaches
After another successful crosscountry run at Beaver Lake last Wednesday, Gulf Islands Secondary
School runners continue to surprise
veteran coaches from Victoria.
GISS teacher Doug Pearson told
Driftwood several Victoria high
school running team coaches expressed amazement to him at the
calibre of runners from the island
Scorpions
notch win
Gulf Islands Secondary School's
senior boys soccer team won its first
home game last week.
Scorpions outscored Duncan's
senior boys team 5-4, with Brian
Wheeler blasting home the winning
goal with a minute left in the game.
Coach Doug Pearson says Nathan
Rae played a "terrific game" of soccer in the winning effort.
He adds the Scorpions will get "a
taste of reality" when they take on
Mount Douglas, B.C.'s top AAA
team next week.
After playing Victoria's Reynolds
Secondary boys two days later, the
team will rest before heading north to
Courtenay on November 1 and 2
where they will try to secure a berth
in the Vancouver Island tournament.
school.
"Our team has never competed in
the Victoria league and the 15 members are rapidly learning and improving with every race."
The girls team placed third in the
five kilometre race behind Parklands
and the Armada team from Port Alberni, outrunning 12 other schools
including defending B.C. champions
Claremont.
Pearson said he and co-coach
Rae-Anne Huth were "really impressed with Cara Herman, who
sprinted home in 12th place — up
from 22nd last week."
The boys team, he said, "will need
another year of growth and muscle
development," before members can
match the older Vancouver Island
teams. However, Pearson noted that
Richard Avedon-Savage pulled
through with a credible 37th place
finish out of 79 starters in the sevenkilometre boys' race.

claimed Freight.
Initially business was down, says
Dave Moore of Windsor Plywood.
"Customers needed to adapt to the
new tax. Now that they are accustomed to it, business has returned to
normal."
Valerie Mackey of Islander
Drapery had a one word answer
"none".
Albert Evans, one of three sisters
who own Salt Spring Cinema, says
they lost seven per cent of their gross
profit. "WE absorbed it rather than
raise prices."
Quadratric Solutions Kirby May
says the GST resulted in shorter vacations and a reduced tourist influx,
adding people had less spending
money.
Pam Boatman of Creekside
Seafood says there has been no GST
effect as she does not charge it.
Sue McNair of Sooz Sewing
Company says her business was
slowed down at first and she spent the
summer educating foreign tourists
about how they could recoup the tax
paid.
"It has lowered the price on some
items but people still see the extra
seven per cent at the till and that is
discouraging," says Jon Kuhn of Un-
Burriit Bros.
Carpets
Come in and see
our many
IN-STORE SPECIALS
including our fabulous
"WOOL SALE"
"Prices you can't afford to
to the island is important and others
said convincing islanders themselves
to spend their money here is a concern.
"We have to convince our customers that a fair market price is a
better deal for them and the environment than a "bargain" that has no
local or regional backing and cannot
be serviced," says Kirby May of
Quadratic Solutions Inc.
John Kuhn of Unclaimed Freight
agrees, saying if he does not have
something on the floor "I can usually
get it".
Promoting island shopping
during winter months is a concern
Trish Hoffman of Changing Habits
expresses. Others feel general
economic trends affected the island
and the current recession having an
impact on people's ability to spend
on the island.
Pam and Eric Donnelly at Mobile
Market wonder how to keep the personal touch while their business expands.
And small business operators
have suggestions on how the federal
government might reduce spending
and the enormous deficit Canadians
face.
"Cut the senators' yearly salaries
and their retirement pensions," says
Elsa Fraser. MPs should face the
same cuts, says John Kuhn. The
senate should go altogether along
with perks and lavish spending, say
others.
The Nye sisters want government
to act as if it is " a private business,
accountable to its shareholders — the
public."
Bruce Williams wants the federal
government to quit exporting raw
products and provide jobs at home.
Becoming efficient and reducing
waste were two other suggestions

SINCE
1907
i
Island business owners say there
are many factors critical to their success, and few agree about what are
the most critical.
Paul Heggeler of Sports iraders
was most succinct of island business
people. Simply "money" was his
main concern.
David and Eva Moore of Windsor
Plywood were more verbose in their
response, and covered a number of
topics, some of which were repeated
by other island businesses. They say
none of the concerns were critical but
they did have concerns such as; "how
will the new NDP government affect
business, the local garbage issue,
how to keep our customers happy,
inventory management, etc."
Elsa Fraser and Linda Koroscil of
Love My Kitchen want to meet their
financial obligations as well as turn a
profit for their first year in business.

... and here on Salt Spring Island too
... long hours critical to success
provided.
Harlan Olsen of Harlan's Chocolates advises: "Quit being Mr. Nice
Guy to the world and look after
Canadians first." Bob Kirkpatrick
agrees foreign aid should be curtailed.
Randy Hanna wants Canada Post
"axed or privatized."
Mickey McLeod worries about
supplies of raw material for his sawmill and Bruce Williams of Fulford
Glass worries about suppliers getting
material to him on time to meet his
orders.
Sue McNair of Sooz Sewing
Company wants to continue to make
her store an "interesting, vibrant
place" and has recently opened a craft
room since supplies were lacking on
the island.
Govemment interference in the
form of taxes and rules and regula-
tions and the paperwork these impositions cause were also cited.
Judging by the number of responses
the most critical of these is the GST.
Other concerns expressed included parking in the village core, the
atmosphere at the "farmer-flea
market", making sure businesses
keep a personal touch as they expand,
and a lack of help for small businesses.
Bob Kirkpatrick worries about the
impact of an NDP govemment on
small business.
A sense of humour showed
through in a response from the Nye
sisters at Salt Spring Cinema. They
want to find "two Schwarzneggets to
move the new theatre seats every
night".
In the realm of optimism, some
feel the worst of the recession was
over.
"I am looking for a return to a
more stable economy as we move
away from recession concerns. Fortunately for us on the Gulf Islands, we
haven't been as adversely affected as
some areas have," says Arlene Dashwood of Burritt Bros Carpets.
Most respondents also were optimistic about future growth on the
island. "New residents, new clients,
bigger revenue," says Dawna MacGregor of Dream Maker. Some business owners tied the growth of Salt
Spring in with islanders working
together to manage that growth positively.
Sue McNair says she is most optimistic "that we can work together
as a community and make Salt Spring
a year round tourist destination."
"Salt Spring will continue to
thrive regardless of any outside pressures to the contrary," say the
Moores.
Other responses to what business
people are most optimistic about in
the next 12 months were more
general. "Getting all eight cylinders
Firing in sequence," was the response
received from Pam Donnelly of
Mobile Market.
Businesses were also optimistic
about establishing a loyal customer
base and enhancing the island's
reputation, as well as the lessening of
the recession, lower interest rates, increased sales, and the new NDP
govemment.
The Nye sisters are looking torward to continuing growth by focusing on collective vision.
Optimism also concerned continued growth in the housing market,
but "with mixed feelings." savs
Valerie Mackey of Islander Drapery.
An average small business owner
on Salt Spring works about 55 hours
week. Randy Hanna of Hanna Air
Salt Spring works as many as 95
hours a week, which was the most
hours toiled by any business person
taking part in the survey.
At the other end of the scale is
Richard Weatherall of Gulf Islands
Optical, who works an estimated 25
hours per week.
In spite of the long hours and increasing paperwork from all levels of
government, small business owners
enjoy having control over their working lives. Although they are recognized during one special designated
week, they continue to contribute to
their communities all 52 weeks of the
year.

Feast offers insight, dancing
Few people on Salt Spring have
had the opportunity to understand the
Middle East from within the world of
Arab people.
However, this Saturday, October
26, the Salt Spring community is invited to experience a Middle East
feast at St. George's Hall beginning
at 6 p.m.
Salt Spring Coalition for Peace in
the Middle East has planned the evening which features Middle Eastern
cuisine, an address by scholar Professor Hannah Kassis, and belly dancing
by Salt Spring's Corinne Cordoni.
Kassis is a native of Palestine who
teaches courses on Islam and Arabic
studies in the department of religious
studies at University of B.C. His discussions of Islam and the Arab world
are characterized by an understanding of Arabic culture and a
respect for Islam as a way of life. He
is acknowledged as a fine speaker
and an engaging story teller. .Anyone
desiring fresh insights into the Middle East will want to hear his presentation.
Corinne Cordoni will complete
the evening with a demonstration of
the traditional women's dance of the
Middle East region.
Tickets for this entertaining and
educational evening are available at
et cetera for $10; $8 for students and
unemployed.

Necessary Roughness stars Scott Bakula in a rollicking
comedy. He plays a 34-year-old college football player
who leads the most off-the-wall team in the league. The

Goldie Hawn stars in the 9 p.m. presentation Deceived.
An art conservator discovers her husband, who is implicated in an art fraud, is not the man she originally thought

Galiano residents reject
island landfill proposal
Galiano residents voted Saturday
to reject an on-island landfill
proposal. And on Monday members
of the Galiano chapter of the Gulf
Island Ratepayers Association met to
discuss alternative methods of disposing of island garbage.
By IAN NOBLE
Driftwood Staff Writer
h
Ratepayer member Bill Lucey
told Driftwood three choices were
discussed at the meeting: a direct haul
system to Hartland Landfill, an on-island transfer station and individuals
disposing of the garbage themselves.
"There weren't any decisions
made at the meeting," he said.
"People were directed to come up
with proposals."
He estimated about 20 people attended the meeting.
Closure of the current garbage
site, the same one that was rejected
Wednesday, may come as soon as the
end of October 1991. Alternative
methods of garbage disposal will be
needed by then, Lucey said.
The method of garbage disposal
employed on Galiano depends on a
number of factors, including cost and
Capital Regional District (CRD)
guidelines as the district has
authority over solid waste disposal,
Lucey explained.
One idea is to have a private
citizen provide a garbage disposal
service rather than have taxation or
government funds pay for it. "It
would be a pay-as-you-use system."
He said he does not know why the
Galiano landfill was defeated in the
referendum. "It's not always possible
to judge any community."
Bill Callaway, president of the
Galiano Club which has been running the landfill until now, said
people were not willing to pay to
operate the landfill and buy the land
from MacMillan Bloedel.
"It was a matter of dollars and
cents."
Islanders had endorsed the idea of
an on-island landfill at an island
meeting, he said. A questionnaire
was circulated and 90 per cent of
islanders said keep the garbage on the
island.
"When it turned out as a "no" vote
on Saturday it was kind of baffling,''
he said.
A meeting with CRD officials
will take place Friday, he said, and an
assessment on what is needed to be
done to close the dump will take
place.

Estimates to close the dump run
from $147,000 to $267,000, he said.
He does not know what the actual
cost will be. "Maybe we can get away
with less."
Callaway is disappointed the
landfill was voted down but "the island has spoken so we shall see what
happens now." He said he did not go
to Monday's meeting because he was
not invited.
People in his group did not join
the ratepayers, he said.
Lucey said the ratepayers have
been talking to the Galiano Club but
"they will not be directly involved
with handling waste management."
As citizens, each individual Galiano
Club member will be interested and

GREAT LITTLE PUMPKIN: Three-year-old Remi Dakin picks oat his potential jack o' lantern from
Mobile Market to light the way for trick-or-treaters on Hallowe'en night next Thursday.
RCMP and firefighters working
to lessen Hallowe'en damage
Yolk and eggshell mayhem which
erupted in Ganges village last
Hallowe'en will not be repeated next
week if RCMP and community plans
are put into effect.
A Hallowe'en dance has been organized at Gulf Islands Secondary
School starting at 8 p.m. RCMP Constable Chris Bomford hopes this will
deter young people from hanging
around town.
Local merchants have also been
asked to not sell eggs to non-adults
before October 31.
Bomford said anyone caught
throwing an egg could be given a $50
ticket. RCMP powers of arrest will
also be used, he said, when an officer
suspects a breach of peace is going to
occur.
He said if young people want to
have fun they can do it elsewhere
where no damage to property will
occur.
"What we don't want to have is
the wilful damage we had last year."
Some downtown merchants have
also indicated they will be staying in
their stores that evening, he said.
Salt Spring Firefighters have
changed a traditional Hallowe'en
night schedule to help reduce mischievous downtown loitering.
Bonfires will start in Ganges and
Drummond Park at 7 p.m., with hot
dogs and hot chocolate for the kids
served at Drummond and the Ganges
firehall until 7:45 p.m. Fireworks
start at 7:45 p.m. and should be completed by 8 p.m.
Bomford said the detachment was
also trying to locate someone versed
in the ancient art of rainmaking.
The best way to limit Hallowe'en
mischief, he explained, would be for
a massive downpour to dampen the
village starting around 8 p.m.
Hikers want plant eliminated
Salt Spring Trail and Nature Club
has begun a campaign to stop the
invasion of purple loosestrife on the
Gulf Islands.
By ATHENA GEORGE
Driftwood Contributor
Purple loosestrife is called the
beautiful killer. The flowers are attractive, but the plant has a devastatingeffect on the natural environment.
Purple loosestrife has no natural
competitors. A single flower stalk
produces 300,000 seeds. It overruns
streams and marshes displacing native plants. Waterfowl and wildlife
are starved out as their food species
diminish.
In Minnesota, this introduced
weed covers more than 8,000 hec-
tares. The state government has a
costly program to eradicate the plant.
Purple loosestrife has infested parts
of the Okanagan, the lower mainland
and southern Vancouver Island.
Patches of the weed have been
Patches of loosestrife
have been found here
to rid streams and ditches of purple
loosestrife. The only way to get rid of
the weed is to pull it up by the roots
and bum the entire plant, especially
roots and seed materials.
Next spring, the Trail and Nature
Club will begin an inventory of the
infestation in the Gulf Islands. For
more information, readers are invited
to call Athena George, 537-2917.
spotted on Salt Spring.
The plant grows three to six feet
tall. The leaves have smooth edges
and are attached directly to the stalk.
The pink/purple flowers have six petals.
Due to the long growing season
this year, Islanders still havea chance

'Quality and Service Make the Difference"
Islanders benefit two ways
through United Way funding
United Way is important to Salt
Spring Islanders for two reasons,
says Community Society executive
director Barbara Jordan-Knox.
One is because of the services it
provides through the Community
Society and the second is because of
the services it provides off-island to
residents.
The current drive for United Way
funds ends at the end of November.
Jordan-Knox told Driftwood
Monday islanders use many of the
counselling, education, and support
group services provided by the
United Way in the Victoria area.
She cited many examples of agencies islanders can use.
Islanders can contact the Need
Crisis and Information Line, a United
Way agency, after Community
Society hours and their longdistance
call will be paid for by the Community Society.
Crisis line workers will contact a
society worker if the caller requires
immediate attention, she said.
Many islanders use the Single
Parent Resource Centre, which helps
single parents deal with the difficulties they face. They can find information they need or talk to others with
similar problems in a support group
atmosphere.
St. John Ambulance attendants
not only provide training in basic first
aid for Community Centre workers
but also other Salt Spring residents.
Community Society workers also
connect people with the Volunteer
Bureau, which is a central training
place for hospitals, agencies and
others who use volunteers. They
teach how to attract, train, and keep
volunteers, Jordan-Knox said.
Divorce Lifeline resources are
available to those who have recently
had a relationship dissolve. A person
can phone and receive information
on steps that can be taken in a divorce
situation and get counselling. Often
people are confused when divorce
occurs, said Jordan-Knox.
"It helps to know what the stages
are so you can look at yourself and
ask is this what is happening to me?"
Other Victoria area groups come
to Salt Spring to counsel people here.
AIDS Vancouver Island is one example of a group that has come to the
island on a number of occasions to
speak to high school and hospital
groups about the disease.
"We certainly cannot think AIDS
does not exist on Salt Spring. It
does," she said.
The Arthritis Society and the
TRI-K DRILLING
Serving the Islands for 22 years
MODERN HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT
Albert Kaye
537-5738
Canadian National Institute for the
Blind are two of the United Way
agencies represented at the health fair
on Salt Spring.
Other agencies such as Parents in
Crisis, Friends of Schizophrenics,
and the Victoria Hospice Society
have come recently to the island.
"Any one of these agencies would
come if invited to do a workshop,"
she said.
Toni Beck of the United Way in
Victoria identified 23 agencies in
Victoria islanders can and do use.

Airline
expands
schedule
Harbour Air Ltd. will be providing an expanded winter schedule between the Gulf Islands and
Vancouver.
For the first time daily flights will
be available year round, with the addition of winter service in each direction on both Saturday and Sunday,
according to Vancouver Harbour
manager Bill Embrey.
Flights are scheduled to allow
Gulf Islanders to enjoy a full
weekend in Vancouver and Vancouverites to enjoy a weekend in the
Islands. The Saturday flight is in the
morning and the Sunday flight is
scheduled for late afternoon.
"This service is viable this year
for the first time because of the
economic and population growth in
the islands," explained Embrey. "It
also represents a continuing commitment by Harbour Air, Canada's
largest seaplane airline, to service the
Gulf Islands."

hosted by the local Church of the
Ascension council. Communications
convener Ursula McEwen gave a
short report of the gathering attended

Small Business Week — October 20 - 26
Enterpreneurs prevalent on Island
Canada is a nation of abundant
natural resources, but until recently
one of these resources has barely
been tapped even though it is considered one of our best resources entrepreneurs.
To help develop this resource, and
bring more public attention to it, the
week of October 20 through 26 has
been declared Small Business Week
in Canada, with this year's theme
being "Entrepreneurship -A Natural
Resource."
On Salt Spring Island the idea of
entrepreneurship is not lost on residents. According to Chamber of
Commerce (CoC) records, there are
over 200 businesses that are chamber
members and of those only 20 companies have 10 or more employees.
GST adds
to business
paperwork
Local businesses participating in
this week's Small Business section
were asked to answer a series of
quesitons about business on Salt
Spring Island.
Most common among responses
to Driftwood's questionnaire regarding the effect of the Goods and Services Tax was that it has greatly
increased paperwork.
Robin Wood of Beddis Garage
says it has added more time to his as
did Mickey McLecd of Deluxe Contracting, Glen Moores CGA. Pam
Donnelly of Mobile Market says it
has created "a mess of paperwork".
Clerical hours at Windsor Plywood
have increased. Gwen Olsen of
Heritage Boutique agrees that it requires substantial effort and creates
more office work.
"We had to change our accounting
system for one that provided invoices, and that has meant more
paperwork and more staff time,: says
Driftwood publisher Joyce Carlson.
Blaahk Sheep Motors Rich
Lopushinsky describes the tax effect
in one word: "bad" while his partner
Dawna says her Dreamakers business has not bee affect except that
people are still upset about the tax.
Arlene Dashwood of Burriti
Brothers Carpet says material costs
went down when the manufacturers'
tax was removed so the overall effecl
was minor.
Calypso Carpet's Alan Redpatsays the GST had been a determent
for people making large expenditures. It also has affected smaller purchases, according to Angie Bell of
Changing Habits. "As retailers we
felt a large decrease in sales in the
spring but as consumers we are learning to live with it. Paul Heggeler of
Sports Traders agrees that sales have
been 'lower and slower".
Fulford Glass' Bruce Williams
says the GST has provided " a few
grumbles here and there" while
Cheryl Tammets of Glad's Ice Cream
says it has mean! "a small change in
accounting procedures". Richard
Weatherall calls it a "bookkeeping
annoyance" as prescription eyewear
is zero-rated or tax free to consumers.
Harlan's Chocolates Harlan
Olsen says business returned to normal over the summer. Elsa Fraser of
Love My Kitchen says she had
received the usual complaints but
GST has had little noticeable effect.
"WE have no comparison figures."
Bob Kirkpatrick of Rainbow Rentals
says the effect for him has been minimal other than complaints from customers.
Chamber program helps them improve business skills
Chamber manager Neville Atkinson is a trained business information
counsellor and can offer advice to
anyone thinking about starting a new
business on Salt Spring.
In addition, the chamber is currently offering a training course for
those interested in or already operating a small business. Called "Success
in the 90's" more than 40 businesses
signed up for the 55 hour course
funded partially through the federal
Employment and ImmigrationCanada branch.
According to chamber membership chairman Dee Kinney, the participants are really enthusiastic about
the program and are gaining new approaches to running a small business.
For further information on the course
or for business information, interested readers are advised to contact
the Chamber of Commerce at 5375252.
Small business in Canada is anything but small. When added together
some very impressive statisticscs
evolve. In 1987, companies with
fewer than 1,000 employees were
responsible for 41 per cent of the
value of all payrolls. Since payrolls
represent approximately 60 per cent
of the value of Canada's Gross National Product (GNP) per year then
small business contributes, through
payrolls, roughly one quarter of the
country's GNP. In Canada there are
more than 900,000 businesses
registered. Of that number, 97.4 per
cent have fewer than 50 employees
and 93 per cent have fewer than 20.
In British Columbia small business is the backbone of the economy.
More than 95 per cent of all new jobs
in the province are created by small
businesses. They annually generate
$37 billion in gross operating
revenues. In some cases recessionary
times have actually worked to the
advantage of entrepreneurs. During
the 1981 - 82 recession approximate-

ly 119,000 new small businesses
were started. According to the
Canadian Federation of Independent
Business (CFIB), these Firms have
better survival prospects than those
established during times of economic
expansion.
This is because recession startups do not have to endure the adjustment process necessary for firms
born amid healthier economic conditions.
One example of this is B.C. resident Robert Blackwell. In 1982 he
lost his $19 per hour job due to the
recession. He managed to obtain a
$6,000 line of credit to start a steel
and aluminum fabrication business.
Today, at age 35, he owns Charger

Disappointed
To the Editor,
I am disappointed in your
editorial of 9 October "Are we getting what we deserve." — Specifically as it refers to the Community Plan
and to the Whist's proposed dock.
My objection, and that of many of my
neighbours, is not to docks generally
but rather toa dock inside a small bay
entertaining many of the island
families and visitors throughout the
year.
The Whists are welcome for my
part to build some facility on the outside of the bay, or moor within it as
we do.
As for process, application for
foreshore lease is required because
all foreshore is Crown (i.e. public)
property. The community feels that a
beach should be protected due to access and suitability and they are entitled to make their wishes known to
those officials both elected and appointed who are to examine the
merits of that application. The community plan should accommodate
this process.
DANIEL CLEMENTS,
Vesuvius Bay
Many of the courageous young
people in the Walbran this summer
are part of the Environmental Youth
Alliance. With their hundreds of
members across Canada, they no
longer sit back and let multi-national
corporations control the environment
they will inherit. Mr. Neil might take
note that they will be of voting age
scon. Or is Fletcher Challenge already aware of this and that's why the
push to remove the last remonaing
old growth is so urgent?
LYNDA LAUSHWAY,
Ganges
Times are tough
To the Editor,
Times are tough when a vice
president of a multi-national corporation takes time out to respond to articles and letters in Gulf Islands
Driftwood. I only wish that I was
being paid five figure sums to do the
same. Ron Neil's letter from Fletcher
Challenge Canada was a real eyecatcher.
The Victoria-based Friends of
Carmanah-Waibran, Carmanah
Forestry Society, the Eaviroameatal
. ance of Victoria and Vancouver, as well as Salt Spring's
Green Islands Society, have worked
very hard to support the protest
against logging of the ancient forest
in the Walbran Valley. The Sierra
Club as well as the Western Canada
Wilderness Committee have worked
hard through the courts and the media
to bring attention to this desperate
situation.
It's truly insulting, Mr. Neil, to
insinuate that the caring environmentalists of this province would need the
help of "well-trained eco-terrorists
from the US and elsewhere" to stand
up and say no to what is patently
environmental genocide of what is
left of the old-growth forests on Vancouver Island, by Fletcher Challenge
and MacMillan Bloedel.
The sum total of Mr. Neil's
presentation smacks of "why weren 't
they nicer'' variety. As you pushed
into the last remaining three per cent
of unroaded (or pristine) wilderness
on southern Vancouver Island, with
your court injunction in hand, your
battery of logging equipment and the
full force of the RCMP at your side why weren't those protesters nicer?
Why didn't they smile, speak in
polite words, let you have them arrested and then say thanks while the
chain saws hummed and those giant
trees crashed to the ground?
It's a valid question to ask: Who
are these people? What situation
would prompt ordinary citizens of
this province to spend weeks of their
lives risking their health, livelihood,
comfort and freedom to stand up to
say no to the destruction of the
Walbran Valley? Why would these
people risk so much and for no financial recompense? It's enough to give
one hope that the almighty dollar
isn't the only motivating factor in this
world.

They are expecting a new political climate with new players
Representatives from Salt
Spring's political, business, health
and education communities gave a
positive rating to last Thursday's
election results — based more on a
new political climate than the number of NDP seats.
Several respondents said reduced
polarization and less confrontation in
B.C. politics were the most notable
aspects of the election outcome.
Both Capital Regional District
director Julia Atkins and Islands
Trustee Bob Andrew said they
looked forward to working with new
MLA Clive Tanner.
"Having watched Clive Tanner
over the years, it is wonderful we
have him for our representat i ve," said
Andrew.
Previous polarization
should decrease with
the election changes
From an Islands Trust perspective, Andrew said both the NDP and
Liberals "clearly indicated strong
support for the Trust, so obviously
that makes me feel really good."
"Because there is support for the
Trust government from Tanner and
from the NDP, I think we should be
able to have some more positive
legislation and strong support, even
monetary support as indicated by the
NDP"
A:«
TOjcait a .-
come move away from pola:
politics. "It was very interesting how
well the Liberals did and I am happy
to see an increase in interest of a
moderate party."
Islands Trustee John Stepaniuk
said he was "very optimistic" about
the new government, especially since
"Mr. Harcourt is definitely showing
caution and I think it is needed. Ihe
pressure on him will be horrendous."
He said the Liberal resurgence
made a strong point in favour of
moderation. "In politics you have to
leam not to argue with each other
because it shows you someone will
come up the middle."
With education policies and funding a Gulf Islands election issue, trustee and teacher representatives also
expressed pleasure at the results.
Trustee David Eyles said he anticipated a more cooperative approach to education and politics
would be taken.
"The thing that really impresses
me is that we are going to have a more
positive attitude in the legislature,"
said Eyles. He pointed to Liberal
Party leader Gordon Wilson's statement that his party would be a "constructive opposition" and not
necessarily oppose all NDP legislation.
Eyles said school district officials
"are not counting on buckets of
money automatically being funnelled our way, but hopefully it will
be a new start."
Gulf Island Teachers' Association president Jack Braak said "quite
frankly, I was very pleased with the
election results. Finally I think we
have both a government and an opposition interested in education and
willing to make education a high
priority."
The most significant difference
would be an increase in consultation
Also p^
:nc NDP and
Liberal parties' commitment to get
rid of controversial bills 82 and 19,
said Braak.
On the funding front, he added
that "we are hoping the school board
will have more control of funding and
will be able to make more decisions
at a local level."
GANGES RCMP File
Obscene calls
There has been a number of
nuisance and obscene phone calls on
Salt Spring recently and Ganges
RCMP advise people to just hang up
if they get one.
If more than one call is received
by a person, that person should keep
track of dates and times the calls are
made and what is said. If the calls
continue, contact the police and B.C.
Tel, says the Ganges RCMP.
Motor theft
An outboard motor taken off a
boat docked in Vesuvius Bay has
been reported stolen.
The 15-horsepower outboard
motor was stolen between October
18 and 20, and the investigation is
continuing.
Refuse blood sample
A Ganges adult female refused to
provide police with a blood sample
after being taken to hospital as a
result of an auto accident.
Ganges RCMP said the woman
was the driver in an accident October
16 at 11:43 p.m. on Maliview Drive
Her car ended up in a ditch at the side
of the road.
She was bleeding in the mouth
area after the accident and had to be
taken to hospital. Police noticed a
strong odour of alcohol in the car and
asked for a blood sample to be taken
from her. She refused to provide it.
Because her mouth was injured
police did not ask for a breath sample
for a breathalyzer but asked for the
blood sample instead.
Lady Minto Gulf Islands Hospital
board member Gordon Calderhead
said that while he did not speak on
behalf of the board, "I have a very
positive feeling about the election."
He said while it was not possible
to say how NDP policies would impact on a small hospital like Lady
Minto, he thought the government
would "look for the maximum value
for each health dollar" while continuing to provide quality health care services.
Chamber of Commerce business
manager Neville Atkinson also
heralded the apparent defeat of political polarization.
"If any benefit accrues to the
province it is an opportunity for a
third party to be involved and hopefully we will see an end to the
polarization we have seen for so
many years."

Trustees seeking to
improve bargaining
Gulf Islands school trustees have
agreed to join their Vancouver Island
counterparts in seeking to improve
current teacher contract bargaining
practices.
At its recent meeting, the board
decided to send members to serve on
a Vancouver Island School Trustees'
Association committee formed to
look at bargaining processes.
Trustee Grace Byrne explained
that VISTA members had discussed
working "coactively"on the bargaining front. One way to do this would
be to share a "negotiating team"
when Vancouver Island area teacher
contracts were being worked out, she
said. Saving time and money would
be the main objective behind that
plan, she explained.
Trustee Charles Hingston warned
of having solutions like formation of
a negotiating team already in mind
before a VISTA meeting discussed
changes.
He also said it might appear as
though "we don't like local and do
like provincial bargaining," which
could be considered "sacrilege."
On a related matter, trustee David
Eyles suggested the board take to the
next B.C. School Trustees' Association meeting a motion that all school
boards set an upper level limit under
which all wage settlements would
fall. He said it could be a starting
point for discussion.
Eyles also expressed a desire for
trustees and teachers to work more as
a team province-wide.
He cited some statements made in
a recent B.C. Teachers' Federation
newsletter which he felt were obviously incorrect. He thought a "constructive" letter could be written
pointing these out, along with some
urging of cooperation between trustees and the BCTF.
"It is time we started working as a
team," he said.
Trustee Charles Bazzard sug-
contacted to see if there was interest
in setting up regular joint meetings
between trustees and teachers local>.xh trustees Dave Dennis of
Pender Island and Charles Hingston
said the local board-teacher relationship was good. Hingston said if meetings were deemed necessary and
arranged, "let's do it to achieve
something, not just to have another
meeting."

Insuring the Islands Since 1928
Landfill study
will proceed
Results are in, and Salt Spring will
get a landfill study.
Capital Regional District (CRD)
director Jules Atkins said 45 flyers of
the 3,600 sent out were returned expressing opposition to the landfill
study. A total of 107 flyers were
returned including 58 in favour and
four not taking a stand for or against
but merely making comments.
"It looks like people have endorsed this study," she told
Driftwood Monday. "Given the
results, I intend to proceed with the
establishment of a local committee to
direct and oversee the first step, including the selection of consultants
to undertake the studies, the identification of potential landfill sites..,
and the dissemination of information
to the public."
"The first order of business will be
to apply to the CRD for a grant-in-aid
for $55,000 to proceed."
That grant-in-aid will be applied
for November 6, Atkins said. If successful, the CRD can then charge it
back to the taxpayers who will
benefit. In this case it will be Salt
Spring residents.
For the study, island property
owners will be taxed $10 for each
$ 113,000 of assessed property value,
said Atkins.
Atkins said 58 responses were in
favour of the study and some wrote
to say they wanted the landfill on
island or were in favour of an on-island landfill but were worried about
the tax money being spent.
Those who opposed the study did
so because they felt it was too expensive and a site would not be decided
on, she said. Others opposed the site
because of concerns about the environmental impacts of an on-island
landfill.
Atkins said "a lot of homework
needs to be done" before voters will
approve an on-island landfill on Salt
Spring. "If we went to referendum
today for an on-island landfill, I think
it would be rejected."
Costs need to be carefully worked
out and sites determined.
Last June, CRD engineers did a
study which showed the cost of identifying and permitting one landfill
site would be $225,000 in addition to
the $55,000 for the study. Administration and other costs would
add another $65,900 to the cost.
Those figures are as accurate as
possible at this time, said Atkins.
"They are not site specific. They
didn't assume the worst case and they
didn't assume the best case either.
The figures are a reasonable
guideline.
However, she predicted if the actual landfill costs are not lower, "this
thing won't fly on Salt Spring."
She said better estimates of costs
and whether a landfill on Salt Spring
is viable will be known after tonnages
from tipping at Hartland are calculated. "Everything has to be weighed
before it is dumped, so we will have
a really good idea."
Once figures for the development
of a landfill site and tonnage figures
are known, the costs of an on-island
landfill per ton of solid waste will be
easy to figure out, Atkins said.
At $150 a tonne an on-island
landfill is not attractive, but at $70 a
ion it is, she said.
There is a lesson in the Galiano
landfill referendum for Salt Spring
residents, she said. Galiano islanders
rejected an on-island landfill last
Friday.
"These things are expensive and it
is hard to get them passed in a
referendum."
No potential sites have been iden-
• Commercial • Residential • Tenants
• Marine • Bonding • Travel/Medical
wmmm
tified yet and no one brought any sites
to her attention through the counter
petition process, Atkins said.
Islanders interested in joining the
solid waste committee are asked to
call her at 653-4533 or write to her at
C7, Forest Ridge Road, RR#1 Fulford Harbour.
The first committee meeting is
scheduled for November 5 at 7:30
p.m. in the regional director's office
situated above the post office.

New streetlights
will be less costly
BARGAINS GALORE: Plant shoppers hungry for bargains cleaned out the supply at St George's
Church as the Garden Club held its bi-annual plant sale last Thursday.
Driftwood photo by ian Nobie
District B.C. Hydro manager John Langston said last week that bulbs
currently used in all streetlights will be changed from a mercury vapour to a
high sodium pressure vapour type.
The new types are already used to light some city bridges and overpasses.
"They are far more energy efficient in keeping with our Power Smart
program that tries to do more with less energy."
Because they reduce operating costs, "the people of Salt Spring will be
paying less for street lighting as a result of the change."
B.C. Hydro is making the switch at no cost to its customers, Langston
said, because "we are trying to eliminate any waste of electricity that is possible and still put out the same quality product."
People will probably notice that light emitted from the bulbs will be
somewhat softer and more like an incandescent rather than a fluorescent
bulb, he added.
Salt Spring is scheduled to make the switch during the last week in October, unless staff are needed to handle unforeseen emergencies.

Sewer committee to
become elected body
Members of Ganges Sewerage
Committee will be elected when the
first annual general meeting is held
October 28. Previously members
were appointed to the body.
Four committee members must be
residents or business owners in the
sewer area while the last member can
be a resident or business owner outside the sewered area but must be a
resident of Salt Spring, according to
Capital Regional District Bylaw
1906. Employees and board members of Ganges institutions such as
Greenwoods also may be elected to
the committee.
"Members are elected and then
their election is confirmed by the
Capital Regional District (CRD),"
current committee chairman Tom
Toynbee told Driftwood last week.
Two members will be elected for
a one-year term ending December 31,
1992 and three members for a twoyear term which terminates December 31, 1993. The member eligible
from the island at large will be one of
those elected for a two-year term.
At the October 15 sewer committee meeting, Toynbee explained
there are one and two-year appointments being elected now so the committee may have continuity in the
future. By instituting such terms
now, the whole committee will not
turn over in the same year.
In future, all terms will be two
years, he explained.
Current committee members
made their decisions known on
whether they will run again or not at
the October 15 meeting.
Salmon enhancement official
Kathy Reimer said she would not be
running for election. "I have a whole
bunch of other things I have to do,"
she said. "I have whole bunch of
money I have to spend."
Between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., the
school will be alive with activities
put on by students. GISS vice-principal Nancy Macdonald said the evening opens with a"meet the teachers"
assembly at 7 p.m. From there people
can view any number of displays in
an informal "walk- about" way.
Exhibitions include dance class
shows, chemistry experiments,
French language activities, a Little
Mermaid rehearsal, volleyball,
music, art, home economics, computer class and peer counselling pro-

Chairman Toynbee said he will

and school board employee Ken Starling will run again if the school board
approves his nomination.
Committee member Les Ramsay
was not at the meeting but when contacted later by Driftwood, he said he
would probably stand for election.

Assistance
cheques
not mailed
Public assistance cheques will not
be mailed out this month. Instead
cheques will be available at the local
provincial government agent's office
Wednesday and Thursday, October
23 and 24 between the hours of 10
a.m. and 4 p.m.
Lome Campbell, supervisorof social services in Sidney, said the uncertainties of the postal situation is
the reason cheques will not be sent by
mail.
"The government has decided
with the unrest in the postal situation
they didn't want to take a chance," he
said Monday."We want to make sure
our clients are getting their cheques
and there is no disruption to them."
Anne Williams of the Community
Centre said "all hell broke loose" the
last time there was a mail strike and
public assistance receivers could not
get their cheques.
After October 24 cheques will
have to be picked up in Sidney.

knowledge of the five-year reserve
when the licence was granted to
Cooper's Cove. "We were not aware
the Lands branch had put it in the map
reserve," he said.
Lands and parks ministry acting
regional director Max Nock said the
application to designate the area a
reserve was referred to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for
comment prior to its implementation
in March of 1990. Nock said his file
indicates discussion took place between fisheries and Crown lands staff
but no official response was received
from fisheries.
Nock said the area was designated
a reserve in 1990 because a preliminary assessment by a lands branch
biologist suggested "there was some
valuable estuary habitat to be
protected."
He said he understood thefishand
wildlife branch of the environment
ministry intended to do a more
detailed study to determine if that
ministry would give the area reserve
status after the Crown lands reserve
expires in 1995.
Slater said the Nanaimo fisheries
office received a number of calls of
concern from Salt Spring residents
about the Booth Bay licence on Monday afternoon.
Green Islands representative
Warren Rudd said he and other Gl
members were concerned about the
Booth Bay licence being granted and
requested a moratorium on clam harvesting be declared until a Salt
Spring estuary study is completed.
Rudd said the Burgoyne area is
included in the estuary study, "so we
would feel the same way about Burgoyne Bay."
Slater noted the Cooper's Cove
licence prohibits collection of clams
less than 1.5 inches in diameter. Harvesting will be monitored by
fisheries staff both on site and at the
company's depuration processing
plant in Sooke.

Traditionally, we have always sold homes to couples. Many ol-them with families.
However, times are changing. More and more Canadians are working through
separations, divorce and ultimately back to buying another home. But. this time single. And the numbers are getting larger each year. In the past 16 years, our new
housing has Increased by approximaleiy 33% but during the same period, single
ownership of homes has increased by over 75%.
Purchasing a home lor someone who has not been used to making the major
decisions is not easy. It requires sensitivity on the Real Estate Agent's part as we
work our way through appointments, tours, offers, negoliations and legal
considerations

ELECTION
From Page Al
that finalized it
T h e debate, for a lot of people.
:allized a place they could put
their votes."
Minutes later at a crowded NDP
party inTheo's banquet hall, aftershe
had stopped by the Liberal campaign
office to congratulate Tanner, McMurphy said the turning point in the
election was the debate and the media
attention Wilson got as a result of it.
In a voice that did not betray the
emotion her eyes did, she said
Saanich North and the Islands has
always been a strong right-wing seat,
which left the NDP susceptible to a
"Liberal surge" in the riding.
"Until the debate we were in the
lead. At that point the right wing
coalesced over one candidate instead
of being split in three."
She said a "belated examination
of Liberal policies" by the media
came too late to help her campaign.
The outcome wasn't what we would
have iiked but it was a great campaign. We wouldn't have done anything differently.
"Look at this," she said, indicating
a monitor which showed the NDP
leading in 51 ridings. "Isn't it great?
" I t ' s wonderful we have a
majority government in the province.
It makes me feel tickled pink."
Before taking a call from the Vancouver Sun, Tanner said be was
"very, very, pleased" with the showing of the Liberal party province
wide. At the time, Liberals were leading in 18 ridings.
He said he was looking forward to
good debates in the legislature and
bringing a difference of opinion forward on NDP policies. "We'll be
there to defend the rights of free
enterprise against the socialists."
At his subdued campaign office in
B. C. voters agree with
referendum questions
B.C. voters rejected most Social
Credit candidates across the province
last Thursday, but they overwhelmingly approved two concepts put
forth by the former governing party.
However, Gulf Island voters
bucked the trend and gave significantly reduced endorsement to
referendum questions.
Preliminary counts from the Chief
Electoral Officer Monday indicated
more than 81 per cent of B.C. voters
were in favour of the right to recall
their MLA between elections. Those
expressing a wish for a "citizen's initiative" system accounted for 83.4
per cent of votes cast.
Implementation of this system
would make it possible for individuals to propose questions they
want the government to present to the
electorate for a referendum vote.
At Gulf Islands polls, unofficial
results showed 65 per cent votes in
favour of the right to recall an MLA.
Twenty-eight per cent were against
the question as proposed.
On the right of individuals to
propose questions for referendum, 67
per cent cast ballots in favour of introducing legislation governing that
right, while 25 per cent were op-
posed.
Approximately seven per cent of
ballots on both questions were
rejected in the Gulf Islands and
across the province.
During the election campaign,
New Democratic Party leader Mike
Harcourt spoke in favour of the questions. However, the referendum
questions only canvassed opinion
and results are not binding on the
provincial government.

SaaniohKn. Social Credit candidate
Richard Holmes said it was lime to
take a "good, hard look at the Social
Credit Party.
"Clean out a lot of the principles
or things, people, that are not part of
the grassroots and go to rebuilding a
free enterprise party. I hope it will be
an independent party unassociated,
unattached to Ottawa."
He said he was optimistic the
party can rebuild. T h e sun is going
to rise tomorrow morning, isn't it.'
"I'm thankful it is still a free
enterprise constituency. My worst
nightmare would have been that the
NDP got in."
Although results coming in at the
time pointed toward an NDP
majority government, Holmes expressed optimism the next election
would be sooner than four or five
years away. "Who knows," he said,
smiling. "With recall."
Also in attendance at the Socred
campaign office was outgoing MLA
Mel Couvelier. He said he was disappointed with the Social Credit result.
"You obviously feel for the
people that you have worked with.
Many of them are good people and
deserved better. Still, the voters
decided it was time for a change.
"There is no question in my mind
that the Liberal vote would have
traditionally been the Social Credit
vote. I wouldn't want to put a reason
to it," he added.

New government must learn this lesson
Gulf Islanders are a contrary bunch
and they proved it again during last
Thursday's provincial election.
Going against the tide of NDP candidates being swept into power,
voters in this area chose Liberal Clive
Tanner to represent them in the
Legislature.
Even in the referendum questions,
the percentage of acceptance was
much lower than in the provincewide tally.
A major criticism of the Social
Credit Party was it looked after its
friends and left out many others in the
province. Lottery funds poured into
ridings with Social Credit members
and especially cabinet ministers.
Major road improvements or health
projects just happened to go to
specific Socred ridings.
We believe that residents in this
province should share in the resources and benefits. And they should not
be punished for the way they voted.
Everyone pays the same highway
taxes in the way of gasoline purchases, so roads in one riding should
not be better than in another.
If there is an identified need for a
hospital or extended care unit in a
riding, it should be provided based on
that need, not on whether an MLA or
minister needs a good topic for this
week's press release.
Expectations are high among NDP
supporters but we know there is only
so much money to go around. Our
province's major revenue producer,
forestry, is in trouble. More money
will not be easy to find for new
programs.
Premier-elect Mike Harcourt has
said he will set "priorities" and make
better use of the money already flowing into the province's coffers. We
know he will be under a lot of pressure from his supporters to undertake
their pet ideas and policies. But we
want to believe what he said during
the campaign that there will be no
drastic changes.
In the areas of health and education, the two biggest budget expenditures, we are not convinced that the
only answer is providing even more
money. Better value for dollars spent
should be the primary consideration.
The NDP will not be without its
critics but every government faces
criticism. They should welcome it be-
cause through presentation of policies
and programs and their evaluation
and criticism, the best will survive.
Liberal leader Gordon Wilson said
on election night the party will not
oppose for the sake of opposing and
will support legislation that will
benefit all British Columbians. What
he did not say and what we expect is
that he and his caucus will diligently
and vocally oppose any and all
programs or policies which will not
benefit all residents of this province.
We are tired of being governed by
those who believe their votes can be
bought. We understand the current
economic climate is delicate. What
we expect is fairness and honesty.
And those are the two most important
items the new NDP government must
deliver.
The New Democratic Party is different from an NDP government. A
government is there for all people,
not just party members or people who
support them and their policies. It is a
lesson that the Social Credit Party
failed to learn and look what happened to it.

Wednesday. October 2 3 , 1 9 9 1
A letter to the editor in last week's
Driftwood from Gary Holman contained a discreet but significant typographical error.
The start of the last paragraph read
"To the private dump lobby, let's get
on with a political process of finding
the best site and designing the landfill
to meet current environmental standards," when a political process
should have read an apolitical
process.
The error was particularly significant, explained Holman, because
one of his main points was that determining how we handle the solid
waste issue should be an apolitical
rather than a political process.
No more signs
To the Editor,
I recently spent some time on the
Queen Charlotte Islands and was impressed by the beauty of the area.
One of the most refreshing aspects
of the scenery was the lack of real
estate signs as I drove along the
roads. I became aware of the visual
cacophony that assails us southern
Islanders, multi-coloured sentinels
screaming "Buy Me, Buy Me!"
I have discussed not having any
real estate signs with a number or
realtors on Salt Spring and generally
we all feel the same way - let's get rid
of them.
There are however some
problems in arriving at a goal of no
real estate signs without an Islands
Trust By-law to prohibit and enforce
such a move, so here is my suggested
by-law:
"It shall be prohibited for a
property owner or their agent to
designate, post, or advertise upon a
property signage of any kind showing that the property is being offered
for sale, save the posting of one 6"x6"
white sign showing a lot number on
a vacant piece of property" (This
would allow people to locate a vacant
piece of property as quite often
vacant lots do not have posted street
numbers).
Now some people might say that
this is a ploy by realtors to stop individuals from advertising their own
properties.
At any given time the realtors on
Salt Spring might have 200 to 400
properties listed for sale. For sale by
owner signs might amount to 10-20,
so it is obvious that the realtors would
be giving up more than individuals
here. Also any by-law would have to
be non-discriminating and apply to
all islanders alike in order to be fair
and ultimately enforceable.
Let's look at the benefits that
would apply to us all.
I would be interested in your
readers' comments on this proposal
either through the Letters to the
Editor or by responding to "Signs"

be those individuals who will behave
unpredictably. Sadly; this is becoming more the case as the island continues its rapid expansion.
I do not wish to give up two of my
favourite activities; I can only hope,
pray and continue educating to
preserve my life and the lives of
others who wish to take advantage of
natural energy resources. One thing 1
do want to ask of car/truck/motorcycle drivers: please remember that
we have a right to be on the roads and,
hopefully, respect and awareness will
work both ways.

To the Editor,
I have been a resident on Salt
Spring all my life and I've watched
this island being picked apart by loggers.
Quite frankly, I am tired of it.
Since I go to Beaver Point from Ganges mostly every day, no matter how
I get there I always see the bald spots
that careless loggers have made. The
clearcut area on Stewart Road is totally unacceptable. There is a sign
saying a housing complex is planned
for that location. That sign has been
there for almost two years. Still, I
have seen no effort to even attempt to
clean up the mess. In my opinion, we
have a lot of heartless people on this
island if we can let such a beautiful
place like Salt Spring slip into the
hands of such people and we don't
deserve to live here.

would be put to extra expense to install a new system for the relatively
short time it should take to prepare a
new landfill.
The objection may be raised that
things have gone too far for any changes to be made. I see no reason why
the ministry of environment's
decision should be regarded as irrevocable.
There are very sound reasons for
appealing the ministry's decision.
We have a new government in Victoria, one that should be willing to
take another look at this matter.
I would strongly urge our regional
director, and those concerned, to appeal to the ministry to allow the
Blackburn landfill to remain open
until a new landfill is opened on the
island. Or at least until a study has
shown that there is no suitable site on
the island.

Keep dump open
To the Editor,
I agree with the steps proposed by
our regional director in her flyer
about an on- island landfill. An island
of this size and population should try
to deal with as many of its own
problems as it can, and that includes
looking after its own garbage.
Last year a large majority of
people voted in favour of an on-island landfill — certainly that is what
I thought I was voting for. It seems a
pity, however, that we cannot continue to use the existing dump until
such time as a new landfill is ready or
at least until a study determines
whether there is a suitable site. If
there is not, then of course, we should
have to accept the Hartland Road alternative.
The existing dump has served us
well for many years, and 1 do not see
any urgency to close it down until a
new landfill is in place. Indeed we
To the editor
In my open letter to the Islands
Trust which was printed as a "Viewpoint" in your October 16 issue of
Driftwoodthe final paragraph was
omitted. I believe it is pertinent to this
matter.
Here is the paragraph:
"One of the original objections to
our wharf application was that there
never was a wharf in that location in
the past and therefore there should
never be one there now. This objecitoo lost some of its validity when we
produced 8x10 photographs of the
old wharf. However, the same type of
denial seems to have permeated your
reasoning."
My wife and I also are concerned
about photographs we obtained by
mistake from our file at Islands Trust
identifying islands near our property
as Crown Land. We have paid taxes
on those islands ever since we bought
our property in 1989 and have
registered title to them. We are concerned that others may have the same
mistaken impression that the islands
are public.
We have been informed that the
error was discovered and although
the photographs showed the islands
marked Crown Land, this did not affect the Trustees' decision to refuse
recommendation of our dock application.
Ironically, my wife and I had considered turning over one of the islands to the Trust but were told they
did not want to be liable for insurance
requirements.

Quest thanks
To the Editor,
1 would like to thank the Gulf
Islands Lions Club, the School
Board, and our CRD Director for
joining together to finance training
for 11 more local teachers in the
Quest program.
Briefly, for people who might not
have previously heard of Quest (or
"Skills for Adolescence") the purpose of the program is to help students gain self-confidence and learn
skills to function happily and productively within peer groups, the school,
their families, and the community.
"Skills for Adolescence" has a strong
component for teaching decision-
making. Drug and Alcohol Education is presented within the context of
this program. Parents will be invited
to attend parent classes to learn more
about their children's activities in
this program.
I would like to mention two more
outcomes of using the Quest program. One is the enthusiasm of
teachers using the program (also
shared by students). The other is the
observation by the Lions, School
Board, and CRD director that they
(and we) can make contributions for
our children which will help guide
them towards healthy, pro-social attitudes, which, in turn, will
strengthen our community.

Twice lucky?
To the Editor,
I can never remember exactly how
the saying goes: twice lucky, three
times not... anyways, just this morning, 1 beat the odds inherent to that
old phrase. In less than two weeks, I
have experienced three extremely
close misses while utilizing human
powered transportation: walking and
bike riding. This morning's episode
left me shaking for at least 20 minutes
afterwards.
I have always been a very strong
advocate of employing all possible
safety devices while enjoying both
sports and strongly encourage the use
of such measures to friends, family
and strangers alike. In the years of
riding on Salt Spring, I have had to
develop a hyper-sensitivity to
drivers' habits. Yet, according to the
laws of probability, there will alwavs

OPINION
~
Poppy campaign
VICTORIA — It was an election you will tell your
grandchildren about.
On October 17, 1991, an era in British Columbia history
ended. The Social Credit Party, which had ruled the province for
37 of the past 40 years, faded into oblivion.
The trend became obvious soon after the polls closed. The
NDP was headed for a decisive victory, which didn't surprise
the pundits. What did surprise them, however, was the Liberal
strength.
For the Socreds, it wasn't just a defeat; it was a rout. As the
results came in from all over the province, cabinet minister after
cabinet minister bit the dust.
Elwood Veitch defeated, Bruce Strachan gone. Dave Parker
out, John Jansen history. Gone are Howard Dirks, Russ Fraser,
Graham Bruce, Harry de Jong, Ivan Messmer, Larry Chalmers,
Stan Hagen.
Then came the biggest upset. Premier Rita Johnston lost her
own seat.
Bill Vander Zalm and his five-year scandal-ridden, rollercoaster government proved too big an obstacle to overcome.
Socred candidates, who had put up a brave front during the campaign, admitted on election night that they knew they couldn't
win from the start.
Rita's best speech
Rita Johnston deserves highest marks for the best speech I
have ever heard her give. Her concession speech was gracious,
eloquent and humorous.
Gone was the shrieking image she had portrayed during the
campaign. She congratulated Harcourt on his victory, saying
that while their political belief were worlds apart, she had great
respect for him.
Then she added jokingly that she phoned Harcourt to ask him
whether he was ready to concede defeat.
A lot of political observers, myself included, didn't expect
Gordon Wilson's sudden popularity to transfer into seats. The
voters proved them wrong.
A lot of British Columbians were obviously looking for an
alternative to Social Credit. Wilson offered them that alternative, and voters didn't much care whether he or his candidates
had any parliamentary experience.
Wilson admitted that he and his team were short on experience, but he added that one shouldn't equate lack of experience with lack of ability and dedication.
Voters also didn't seem to care that two days before the election, Wilson took an axe to his cherished platform which he had
painstakingly put together more than a year and a half ago.
Death of Social Credit
The death of Social Credit as a viable political force is almost
as big a story as the massive NDP victory or the Liberal resurgence. Who would have predicted this outcome five years ago
when the Socreds were taken to one of the biggest victories
ever?
Few people would have suspected that five years later. Social
Credit would draw its last gasp. Even fewer people would have
predicted that the Liberals would be the next official opposition.
Wilson will now face the task of forging his untried band of
newly-elected MLAs into Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition,
which will be a little more difficult than haranguing opponents
on TV.
Our system of parliamentary democracy depends not only on
good government, but on an effective opposition. We'll soon
find out whether Wilson can deliver.
I suspect that we'll also know fairly soon what the pitiful
remnant of the defeated Social Credit Party will do. It is highly
doubtful that the few Socreds, who managed to escape the
voters' wrath, will be able to rebuild the party.
Absorbed by Liberals
If they are true to their own philosophy, they will now have
to lay the foundations for a united free-enterprise slate to contest
the next election. And that means they will have to allow themselves to be absorbed by the Liberals.
The NDP sweep will make some segments of the business
community nervous, but only some. Captains of industry, including Noranda CEO Adam Zimmerman have stated publicly
that they do not fear the NDP.
Harcourt is no stranger to people like Zimmerman. For the
past four years, he has met with business leaders all over the
province to allay fears that a Harcourt government would repeat
some of the mistakes the Dave Barrett government made.
Some other traditionally conservative quarters also seem to
be convinced that Harcourt will not experiment with matters
economic. The staid Globe and Mail, the Vancouver Sun and
the Province endorsed the NDP, for the first time in each of the
napers' histories.
And finally, I'd like to say that after all these years of often
having to lambaste the Socreds, I am looking forward to a new
target.
To the Editor,
Just to let you know it's that time
of the year again when Branch 92 of
the Royal Canadian Legion is gearing up for Remembrance Day, Nov.
11. We will have the usual counter
sales in the stores and our
members will be in uniform canvasing businesses and street sales.
Members will be talking to students,
informing them of both the essay and
poster contest. It's a busy time and a
remembering time for most of us.
Many people ask: "Where does
the money go?" This is a good question as i t is our 50th year of poppy day
sales. Let me reassure
our many friends and comrades on
the island that, with the exception of
a donation every year to the Gurka
benefit fund, the money stays
here on the island.
Last year we gave to the Ambulance Society a "Heart Start
Machine," valued at $6,300.
Poppy Fund donations so
generously given each year on Salt
Spring go back in many ways to all
of you.
We will be holding our services at
the cenotaph on November 11. The
parade will form up in front of the
post office at 10:30. We will be
joined by the First Canadian
Paratroopers Battalion Association.
There will be a breakfast before the
parade at the Legion's Meaden Hall.

please feel free to phone me at 5372266.
