Schools artwork tempest soothed By GAIL SJUBERG Driftwood Staff

Artwork on school walls may not be on its way out since B.C. Fire Commissioner Rick Dumala said yesterday his controversial ruling would be reviewed.

Dumala said in a late-breaking release that "in response to consid­erable community interest" the application of B.C. Fire Code requirements banning combustible materials in hallways would be reviewed after consultation with teachers, parents, school adminis­trators and the education ministry.

"My primary concern is to ensure the safety of children in schools. However, as many par­ents and teachers have pointed out, it is also important to recog­nize the contribution that student artwork makes to school life. My goal . . . is to look for ways to keep children safe while maintain­ing this aspect of school life."

Fernwood School principal Bruce Stewart said the news was "great." He had referred to the fire code application affecting artwork as an "absolutely ridiculous edict."

"It really seems to be awfully heavy-handed for elementary schools," he said Tuesday morn­ing before Dumala announced his review.

While no parents had raised the issue with him since the story broke in the media on the week­end, Stewart said, it was a major topic on a B.C. school principals' online listserver. "It has just lit the lines up the last few weeks."

Staff, students and parents at Salt Spring Elementary School, like all schools, take pride in their school's interior appearance, which is largely formed by dis­plays of art.

Principal Kevin Vine was dis­mayed by the suggestion that art­work would be a thing of the past.

"Art on the walls is a big part of elementary schools in particular," he said, "and if we have to curtail that it would really change the look and feel of the school. I'm hoping reason will prevail and

Ferries swap means smaller boats for islands • Editorial, Page 8 • Related story. Page 4 By MIKE LEVIN Driftwood Staff

The official name is Option 3, but B.C. Ferries' new plan to start its southern Gulf Islands healing process could affectionately be called The Giant Swap Meet.

After four years of consultations with user groups, unions and cor­poration planners, the blueprint for improved service and fiscal retool­ing within the region will be anchored by a total redeployment of the fleet's vessels.

The primary goal of the plan, which could be implemented as early as April, is to increase capacity on all Gulf Islands routes.

The corporation hopes this will result from home-porting all ves­sels at island harbours and reduc­

ing transit times by cutting some multi-port runs.

But with each route destined to get a new vessel, the area's advi­sory groups are so concerned about public reaction that they have planned a series of open houses.

"We like to think (the plan) will work but ultimately it will be up to the public to let us know whether they think it will work for them," said Ken Lee, one of Salt Spring's advisory committee members.

Salt Spring residents will find their three routes served by boats with less capacities than the pre­sent ones.

While the corporation says these changes are for peak season only, they are likely to stand for

SWAP MEET 2

Mayne plane crash kills pilot, co-pilot

Two men died in the fiery crash of a DC-3 cargo plane which plunged into a meadow on Mayne Island last Wednesday.

Pilot Leon Guenard, 55, and co-pilot John Kenneth Walker, 50, died in the crash at about 6:30 a.m.

The 55-year-old plane, contracted by Purolator, was en route from Vancouver to Victoria when it clipped a mountain and dived without wings into a meadow, skimming an outbuilding and just missing a vacant house on Glen Echo Road.

No one on the ground was injured, but the debris from the plane was scattered over an acre of land in the Mt. Parke area.

The sound of the explosion was heard all over the island. Students waiting for a water taxi on Saturna Island, and early morning ferry riders witnessed the glow in the sky which lit up the area over Mayne Island until daylight.

The Transportation Safety Board in Vancouver says it continues to gather information about the cause of the crash.

"We are still trying to establish why the pilot was flying at what we are calling 900 feet (above sea level) when the collision occurred," said Klaus Kosmider, the board's investigator.

Current regulations maintain that aircraft must be at least 500 feet above ground level in the Gulf Islands.

The crash occurred just one day before a petition containing over 1,100 signatures was presented to MP David Anderson at his regional office in Vancouver.

The petition, which will be presented in the House of Commons, demands, among other items, that aircraft fly over the Gulf Islands at a minimum altitude of 2,500 feet.

"Unfortunately, it took a tragedy to focus attention on this campaign," noted Peter Wallbridge, who spearheaded the campaign, prompted by an increase of low-flying aircraft.

the whole year. The Fulford Harbour-Swartz

Bay run (Route 4) will lose the Skeena Queen and its 110-car load, to be replaced with the 85-90-car Queen of Capilano, a sister vessel to the Queen of Cumberland.

The Capilano is currently serv­ing the Bowen Island link with Horseshoe Bay.

The 192-car Queen of Nanaimo will no longer service the Long Harbour-Tsawwassen route (Route 9). It will be replaced with the 85-110-vehicle Queen of Cumberland, although the run will stop only at Galiano and Mayne islands and not Pender en route.

The 70-car Howe Sound Queen will be taken off the Vesuvius-Crofton run (Route 6), to be replaced with the 50-car North Island Princess, which is now serving Texada Island.

The Skeena Queen moves to Route 5, linking Galiano, Mayne and the Penders to Swartz Bay, while the Howe Sound moves to Bowen Island.

The Bowen Queen or Mayne Queen will serve Route 5A link­

ing Mayne, Pender and Saturna Islands with Swartz Bay, and the summer run from these islands to Tsawwassen (Route 9A) will be served by either of the same boats.

With its Gulf Islands routes annually running $12 million in the red, B.C. Ferries jumped on the new plan and its estimated $2 million in administrative savings.

But some large questions hang sullenly over the idea, such as the rough, winter runs from Long Harbour to Tsawwassen with the open-deck Cumberland or how the corporation will handle overflow demand.

The public meetings will address these questions.

There are two set for Salt Spring: Tuesday at Fulford Community Hall from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. and Wednesday at All Saints By-the-Sea in Ganges, also from 7:30 to 9:30.

"I think it's vital for people to attend these meetings because their input may show we need more public meetings," said Drew Thorburn, chairman of the local committee.

we'll just take a common-sense approach to it." He also pointed out that the availability and cost of flame-retardant

paper — which has been suggested as a way to allow some artwork in corridors — was an unknown factor.

Michelle Mech, co-chair of the District Parents Advisory Council, wondered how flame-retardant paper could be afforded when schools' supplies budgets had been cut even further in the board's latest bud­get.

Schools superintendent Andrew Duncan has a different perspective. He worked in a school district which experienced two fires — one was in a concrete block building where the fire quickly spread through suppos­edly fireproof ceiling tiles from one classroom to another before it was detected.

A similar regulation has been in place in Alberta for years, Duncan said.

"It's not an unusual ruling in terms of other provinces," he said. Dumala said he would consult with other jurisdictions in Canada "to

try and establish a national position on this matter."

FOR THE RECORD Contrary to what appeared in

the Driftwood last week, Ola Miles is very polite.

An inadvertent exchange of one letter for another changed the entire meaning of Miles' response

to the Salt Spring Says question "How do you feel about working in a smoke-free environment?"

Rather than saying employees are not paid to be polite, Miles said employees are not paid to be "police."

The Driftwood, which apolo­gizes for the error, also notes that Miles was extremely polite in pointing out the mistake.

Thieves with keys to school steal $8,600 in equipment By SUSAN LUNDY Driftwood Staff

Salt Spring RCMP want to sting the thieves responsible for a rash of thefts at Fernwood Elementary School. ,

"Basically, we want to take away their market," said Salt Spring RCMP Const. Paul Seymour.

That market has absorbed some $8,600 worth of items and cash stolen from Fernwood school over the past 13 months.

"I really want to emphasize how they've hurt the kids," said school principal Bruce Stewart. "Whoever this is, if they're islanders, then they know a lot of the kids and families they're hurt­ing."

Most recently, a ghetto-blaster and 42-inch television were taken on consecutive nights two weeks ago from John Cameron's Grade 5 classroom. But the list of stolen goods includes a second 42-inch television set, a video camera, digital camera, computer printer, laptop computer and $700 in cash.

The first theft occurred at the beginning of last January.

Stewart says the school has two lock systems — one key accesses inside doors and another key

Three stand trial on Salt Spring

Three Vancouver men charged in connection with a robbery and sexual assault on Salt Spring will appear in Ganges provincial court next month.

Three days — February 2-4 — have been set aside for a preliminary hearing at the local courthouse. Two of the three men, brothers Kevin and Henry Jones, will remain in custody until their court appearance. Jazz Slater has been released on bail.

opens outside locks. Each of the school's classrooms can be accessed from inside and outside of the building.

"It looks like someone has both keys," Stewart said.

About half of the stolen equip­ment is considered "extra" to the school's curriculum and has been purchased through fundraising efforts.

"This includes donations from the Parent Advisory Council or money raised by kids or kids and their parents," Stewart said.

As well as being involved in purchasing the items, the school children used the equipment daily. The recently-stolen television set was hooked up to a computer and used several hours a day as a visu­al tool for computer-related lessons.

Stewart said school districts do not carry insurance for this type of equipment; it is usually less expen­sive to replace the items than pay the costly insurance premiums.

The school has also been forced to upgrade its security, an addition­al unwanted cost in "times of restraint," Stewart said.

Const. Seymour said police have suspects in the case but are seeking more evidence. They believe the same operators are responsible for a series of thefts on Salt Spring over the past 12 months, including a major heist at Seaside Kitchen

last year and two break-ins at the Salt Spring Golf and Country Club.

The thieves apparently target items that are easy to transport and sell such as chainsaws, boat motors and electronic equipment.

"There's definitely a market for a specific type of item," Seymour said.

And while some of the hot goods are likely heading off island, police want islanders to keep a look-out for "good deals."

"If you hear of a 42-inch TV set going for 50 bucks, you can be sure it's hot."

In addition to the fact it's an offence to purchase stolen goods — buyers can be charged under the Criminal Code with possession of stolen property — Seymour wants people to stop buying stolen items and eliminate the thieves' local market.

And following the launch of a new program at the schools next week, Seymour added, these items will become less attractive to buy­ers. He plans to start a project wherein items will be marked in permanent ink and identified as school property.

Police believe the rash of Fernwood school thefts is drug-related. Seymour said it is likely the thieves are using proceeds from the stolen goods to purchase drugs and pay off drug debts.

Driver cuts off police car A Salt Spring driver cut off the

wrong vehicle as she turned onto Vesuvius Bay Road Thursday morning.

Salt Spring RCMP Const. Paul Seymour, driving in an unmarked police car, swerved to avoid collid­ing with the driver and crashed over the embankment at Portlock Park, taking out a fence.

Seymour, who was returning from a talk at Fernwood Elementary School, was south­bound on North End Road at Central when the mishap occurred.

The police officer's wife, Sue Seymour, was driving behind him

and noted down the offending vehicle's licence plate number. Behind her was a police dog han­dler, also driving in an unmarked police car.

The 43-year-old woman was located at her home and charged with driving without due care and attention under the Motor Vehicle Act.

The police car suffered minor damage in the incident.

Ferry plan is 'step in right direction' Drew Thorbum, Neville

Atkinson and Ken Lee are walking a fine line.

The three Salt Spring members of the Southern Gulf Islands Ferry Advisory Committee have spent four years helping negotiate a blueprint for changes in island routes that will please everyone.

That goal is virtually impossible, but all three think the current pro­posal for revamping service is the best yet.

"We've supported a proposal. That's all it is. And it doesn't end with that," said Atkinson of the official Option 3 plan released by B.C. Ferries last week.

"At least it's a step in the right direction."

The problem is, no one knows which direction the plan — which involves redeploying the region's entire fleet — will lead.

Salt Spring will see less capacity on all its ferries through the use of

smaller boats. The corporation believes the

moves will cut staffing and over­time costs primarily with faster turnaround times and smaller cafe­terias.

"Traffic statistics show we can get away with smaller vessels," said Thorbum. "We can support it as long as we get some assur­ances."

Those assurances mean ji promise from B.C. Ferries that if and when space demands increase, larger vessels are made available.

Many users wonder how that promise can be met when there are no extra boats available for Gulf Island runs.

"That's the problem right now. There are so many facets to the plan that no one is really able to forecast anything," said Atkinson.

Of particular interest is the Long Harbour-to-Tsawwassen

route that will have its capacity shaved from 192 cars (Queen of Nanaimo or Queen of Tsawwassen) to a maximum 110 (Queen of Cumberland).

The current vessels always "carry a lot of air," said Lee. "They have said that if the Cumberland experiment doesn't work, the Nanaimo will be available."

The Long Harbour focus comes because B.C. Ferries appears stuck with keeping the facility open and must therefore make better use of it.

Advisory committee members say that through-fares (price reduc­tions for Swartz Bay transit to the

islands from the mainland) will be dumped by the summer, and the goal is to increase traffic through Long Harbour to the point where it will have a non-stop sailing to Tsawwassen.

No one expects Option 3 to work smoothly once it becomes operational in April or May. A series of meetings throughout the rest of January will call for public input.

A new corporate CEO, follow­ing Tom Ward's resignation Sunday, and strong ferryworker union opposition to any plan that could produce staff cuts are also wildcards in the equation.

F I RE CALLS

The Salt Spring Volunteer Fire Department dealt with two chim­

ney fires this week. Members extinguished the fires

on Wildwood Crescent Friday and on Cusheon Lake Road Monday afternoon.

Otherwise, firefighters enjoyed a quiet week.

Workers halt job action, await mediated settlement

B.C. Health Sciences Association (HSA) workers have stopped all job action as they await a third-party settlement between their union and health employers.

"What that essentially means is that everything is back to normal," said Rebecca Maurer, HSA director of communications, on Tuesday.

All out-patient services, including laboratory and x-ray work, at Lady Minto Hospital are functioning, pending mediator Brian Foley's report due today (Wednesday).

Diesel spill damage to lake is minimal

DIESEL SPILL: David McColl, who discovered the spill, and volunteer f i ref ighter Dale Lundy place absorbent towels in ditch to soak up surface fuel.

Pholo by Derrick LuncJy

The impact of a diesel spill near Cusheon Lake last week will be minimal, according to an environ­ment ministry spokesman.

Barry Patten, the ministry's emergency response officer, assessed the damage late last Tuesday afternoon, and noted that only a small amount of diesel seeped into the lake.

The spill was discovered one day after a gravel truck became stuck in the ditch across the street from the lake's beach access. The truck sustained a ruptured fuel tank in the incident.

Unfortunately, the driver did not report the fuel spill and firefighters did not respond to the scene until the spill was discovered by a near­by resident some 24 hours later.

The fire department installed a white, absorbent boom around the edge of a marsh area near the Beddis Waterworks building where most of the diesel has gath­ered.

Deputy fire chief Dan Akerman said the boom will likely remain in place for about two months, pre­venting any additional fuel from bleeding into the lake.

According to Patten, only a small amount of diesel has migrat­ed onto the lake where it lies in a film on the surface. The amount of fuel is not great enough to damage the shoreline, he added.

Beddis Waterworks takes its water from a point about 65

Feny head resigns over high-speed boat project

B.C. Ferry Corporation CEO Tom Ward resigned Sunday amid contro­versy over cost overruns on the company's high-speed ferry project.

Ward's replacement is Phillip Halkett, former deputy minister of the Liquor Control Board.

Costs for the PacifiCat have jumped from an initial estimate of $30 million to the latest estimate of $113 million. Two others are scheduled for construction.

Overruns can only increase with the PacifiCat currently under ferry worker union pickets.

Chairman's 'yes' vote makes decision on Galiano's fireball

Galiano Island will get a new subdivision for its north end fire-hall.

But the decision to allow the matter of great public interest was decided in a near-secret meeting by Local Trust Committee mem­bers in Victoria January 19.

Despite near-unanimous support

among islanders for the subdivi­sion, trustees were split on the call, Margaret Griffiths voting for and Debbie Holmes voting against. Committee chairman Larry Holbrook's yes vote broke the tie.

The matter now moves to the Islands Trust executive committee for clearance this week.

metres (200 feet) out from the building. The intake pipe is about three metres (18 feet) below the water's surface, so the spill will not affect drinking water, Patten said.

About three years ago, fuel from a leaking furnace tank gathered in exactly the same spot, he added. A boom was put in place at that time and the situation "took care of itself."

He expects the results from this spill will be no different.

Quitting cold turkey on Weedless Wednesday By SUSAN LUNDY Driftwood Staff First of Two Parts

He smoked his first cigarette crouched outside a community hall at age 13.

"We lit up, coughed, turned green, hacked and promised we'd never do it again."

But within three months, he and a friend were smoking one to two cigarettes a day — a number that has grown over the decades to about seven packs a week, every month and every year.

It poses an indisputable health risk and costs close to $2,000 a year, or $20,000 a decade.

It's an obsession he fears is "more powerful than I am."

Now, the 42-year-old island man says it's time to crush the habit. And today, Weedless Wednesday, he hopes he's lit up for the last time.

He plans to quit cold turkey: "I'm going to wake up and not smoke."

But it won't be that simple. Quitting smoking means changing your life, tip-toeing around rou­tines that might spark a nicotine craving. It means suffering over­whelming withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, a painful cough and headaches.

And on Sunday, as he draws deeply on a Players Light and con­siders his strategy, he knows he's in for a rough ride.

"I know the bear will come out of me."

Because he has quit before — three or four times over the past three decades (once for as long as five years) — he can predict what's coming.

"I know the first day will be overwhelming, anxious. I usually smoke with coffee, I'll have to curb that. Driving will also be dif­ficult, as well as after dinner and in tense situations. Even waiting will be a task."

So why quit? "I'm concerned about it control­

ling me — that it's more powerful than I am."

He is also concerned about the expense of smoking and he feels a social pressure to quit: "There are a lot of disapproving eyes looking at you when you light up."

And although health concerns do not top his reasons for quitting, one might be tempted to say they should. It's hard to ignore statistics

that claim 40,000 Canadians will die this year from smoking-related ailments such as lung cancer, emphysema and chronic bronchi­tis. Smoking cigarettes can shorten life expectancy from 10 to 15 years. Tobacco contains traces of certain gases that have an unknown effect, as well as nico­tine, carbon monoxide, carcino­gens and irritant substances.

But by the time the Driftwood hits most stores today, the island man will already be benefitting from changes to his health.

Twenty minutes after smoking a cigarette, blood pressure and pulse rate decrease to normal. After eight hours, carbon monoxide levels in the blood drop and oxygen levels return to normal.

After one day, his chance of suf­fering a heart attack will decrease — after a year, his risk of dying from a heart attack will drop by 50 per cent. If he is still smoke-free in 10 years, his risk of dying from lung cancer will be half that of a smoker.

But it is tough to think of the health benefits of a tobacco-free lifestyle when smoking is part of you, he says.

"It's like trying to lose a friend that will always be around you; always tempting you. There's no way to ignore it."

Once, after quitting for five years, his brother handed him a Colts Light cigar to celebrate the birth of a baby. He went out that night and woke up the next morn­ing with half a pack of smokes in his pocket.

"Then slowly but surely I went right back to where I started — a pack a day."

The fact it is so easy to slide back into the habit makes the task of quitting even more overwhelm­ing, he says, as do potential side effects such as weight gain.

And the fear of not succeeding, though unspoken, is a real worry. Therefore, he has chosen not to tell anyone but his family of his plan to quit.

He also plans to "supplement his will" with a nicotine patch if the process becomes too difficult.

"I just hope that after the three-day hell period, I'm not hit by a truck or something and killed as I walk down the street."

8 A WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1999 O P I N I O N GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD

Sinking ferries Ferry transportation advisors in the Gulf Islands have worked

long and hard with the B.C. Ferry Corporation to come up with a plan. It isn't the best of plans but it appears better than the status quo. Unfortunately, the latest financial news out of the cor­poration makes it likely to be the best plan we'll see for some time to come.

The provincial government's experiment with building high­speed catamarans is a financial disaster. The initial cost projection was $70 million. The final cost of building the first catamaran is now estimated to reach $120 million.

The matter is serious enough to warrant the resignation on Sunday of B.C. Ferries chief Tom Ward, who took over from Frank Rhodes less than a year ago. It is also serious enough to war­rant extreme concern about British Columbia's prospects under the Glen Clark administration. B.C. Ferries was in a deep hole finan­cially before now. The Pacificat's cost overrun sinks the corpora­tion significantly deeper.

Provincial revenues are running below expectations, meaning further growth in the provincial debt. That in turn makes it unlikely we'll see much money available for capital expenditures at the ferry corporation. Yet it was the Glen Clark government that launched the fast-ferry project, not the corporation itself. This was a political decision, taken to give a helping hand to B.C.'s ship­building industry. The entire province will pay for this fiasco, but islanders will pay first. The new transportation plan for Gulf Islands routes is probably the best we can do with the existing fleet. There simply isn't enough capacity in the vessels currently in operation. But there is no money to purchase new ferries, and that's how islanders will pay.

We're going to have to make do with what we've got, which will mean inadequate service on a number of routes at peak periods.

The prospects for efficient ferry transportation are as bleak as they are for a healthy provincial economy. The only hope for sal­vation is an election. Arid it can't come soon enough.

Five good candidates It's probably safe to suppose that trustees on the Gulf Islands

School Board are still recuperating from a collective headache. What else could they be suffering as a result of last fall's prolonged dispute with the minister of education over adequate funding for local schools? They banged their heads against the wall for months in that losing battle.

However, that doesn't seem to have fazed the five Salt Spring Islanders who have decided they want to participate in more such exercises. The five are vying for the seat vacated when Jane Parlee left the island.

Given recent history, it's tempting to say they'd make better can­didates for psychiatric observation. But we're not that cynical, nor do we believe the situation is as hopeless as it may appear. Instead, we'd rather express our respect and admiration for our five fellow citizens. They have decided to make a personal commitment to public education, giving up their time to support a cause whose future is clouded with uncertainty.

What makes a school board candidate so special in these difficult times is the absence of power at the board level. The education minister made that clear a few months ago. The job of a school trustee is thankless and challenging, requiring a strong belief in the importance of public service and a good supply of Tylenol.

We cast our vote for all five.

Opportunism knocks There was a time when the Reform Party of Canada could boast

it was a stranger to political opportunism. It can't do that today. Reform strategists last week were reported to be considering

abandoning the triple-E senate, an important element of the party's platform since its inception a decade ago. It was important because Reform got its start through deep dissatisfaction in western Canada with the poor representation afforded the regions under the existing federal system.

The triple-E senate would have offset the considerable power held by central Canada in the House of Commons by giving every region an elected, equal and effective voice in Ottawa. In other words, each province would be represented by the same number of senators, who would have additional power to do a more effective job.

But with Reform seeking votes from the centre of the country, it is having to reassess its position on the senate. Will Ontario and Quebec willingly give up power to the rest of the country? Of course not. When Reform was a young party, its membership shared a healthy idealism that brought a refreshing change to fed­eral politics.

Today it's just another haven for political opportunists.

2000's importance nothing to do with artificial, arbitrary date

By MIKE PRICE So i t 's January 1999 and

while most of us on this planet are gearing up for the most monumental blowout of all time at midnight on December 31, already we are beset by a plague of pedants who keep trying to tell us that the new millenni­um doesn't really begin until January 1, 2001.

Let's face it, 2000 or 2001, it's actually a fairly trivial question; however, like many other trivial questions, it seems capable of generating an inordinate amount of heated — or even foetid — controversy. Entire countries have gone to war with banners waving over questions equally unimportant.

However, perhaps today we are a little more civilized.

Gently chiding the rest of us for our igno­rance (or frothing at the mouth, according to temperament), those pedantic types inform us that the year 2000 is "really" the final year of the 20th centu­ry, on account of the fact that "there was never a year zero."

Well, maybe there wasn't; but I have news for you folks — there never was a "year one" either. Or a year two or three or four for that matter.

Certainly, the people who were actually around at the time didn't think so and they would be the ones to know, I should think.

In fact, several different calendars were in use around the Mediterranean at the time.

The Romans used one based on the supposed date of the founding of Rome, whereas the Egyptians counted the years of each pharaoh's reign, starting a new year one as each new pharaoh came to the throne.

The Jews presumably had their own calendar also, probably based on the Babylonian one, but little is known about it; the modern Jewish cal­endar, which "begins" in our year 3761 BC, was not in use at the time, having been introduced only in the fourth century AD by Rabbi Hillel

VIEW POINT

'... quite simply, it is the psychologi­cal impact of all those zeros, and nothing more."

II. The modern Gregorian calen­

dar — the one we currently use — dates from 1582 AD and was a modification of one invented by a sixth-century monk, Dionysius Exiguus.

He decided that the year of Christ's birth should be designated "year one" and that time throughout Christendom should be reckoned from that point. Since the Arabic numerals had not yet been introduced into Europe (that would take another 500 years),

Dionysius had no choice but to use the cumbersome Roman number system, which doesn't include a zero; thus the years before Christ had to begin with 1 BC, with no inter­vening year zero.

Unfortunately, Dionysius managed to get his dates wrong by at least four years (King Herod

died in the year we know as 4 BC); thus the calendar used today throughout the world is completely arbitrary in its sup­posed starting point and is used purely as a matter of conve­nience.

If we wanted to celebrate 2000 years since Christ's birth — well, sorry guys, too late; we should have done it in 1996 or maybe even 1995.

The importance of the year 2000, such as it is, had nothing at all to do with it being two thousand years from some com­pletely artificial and arbitrary starting point; quite simply, it is the psychological impact of all those zeroes, and nothing more.

And it's only happening in a year's time because, by another historical accident, we humans use the decimal system to count with, rather than the much more logical octal or duodecimal.

So it really doesn't matter; 2000, 2001, take your pick. Though if you decide on 2001, you'll have missed the party. Sorry.

The writer is a Salt Spring resident with an anti-pedantic streak.

Letters to the Editor Big loss

Last week we had two break-ins into our Grade 5 classroom. A stereo and a large screen TV were stolen.

The person doing this has a school key. We are upset because a lot of students and parents worked hard to earn that money so we could have these things in our classroom. The school district doesn't have a lot of money and the school can't afford these things.

The television is a big loss. It is connected to the computer, the VCR, and cable TV. With it, every­one can see what is on the comput­er screen. We use it every day to check the news, check Internet sites, do research, take notes and for demonstrations. Even writing this letter is a struggle because we can't all see what is being written. We really miss this equipment.

If you know anything about this crime, please contact Fernwood Elementary School or the RCMP. KYLIN LEE, Grade 5, Fernwood School

Cusheon woes And so it begins . . . I'm not a trained accident inves­

tigator, but after walking the stretch of Cusheon Lake Road where the fuel spill occurred last week and noting the deterioration of the pave­ment beside the ditch that the truck slid into, I have to conclude that Cusheon Lake Road is unable to support its current traffic load and has become dangerous due to the increase in heavy vehicle traffic it has been subjected to, particularly over the past few months. I also believe that the condition of the road was a factor contributing to this accident.

The daily parade of dozens of gravel trucks, cement mixers and the like, rumbling back and forth on Cusheon Lake and Stewart roads has reached a level that has now moved beyond annoyance to become a tragedy waiting to hap­pen.

Those in need of further proof of the detrimental effect of this traffic should walk Stewart Road as it approaches Arnell Park from the north; the extent to which the roadbed has been undercut on the downhill side is scary!

Why are vehicles this heavy per­mitted to travel on roads that appear not to be built to an adequate stan­dard? Are they exceeding the axle weight restrictions on these roads? If not, then these weight restrictions need to be reassessed given the Hrastir inrrpaQp in trnFfir nvnr thn

past decade or so. Given that the portion of Stewart

Road south of Arnell Park has been improved and paved recently, all heavy vehicles wishing to access subdivisions at the top of Stewart should do so from the south, via Beaver Point Road, and stay off the last unpaved portion of Stewart Road and all of Cusheon Lake Road.

Just my opinion. I could be wrong. I'd love to hear from other Salt Springers (particularly those who maintain our roads) on this, either in response to some of my questions or to provide opposing points of view. JAMIE ALEXANDER, Stewart Road

Health victory We can and did make a differ­

ence. On January 14, Health Canada announced that Canada would not approve the synthetic growth hormone BGH, also known as rBST, for use on dairy cows.

The decision came about as a result of Health Canada's own assessment of the hormone com­bined with the recent findings of the independent animal health com­mittee.

Monsanto, the drug's manufac­turer, will be appealing the deci­sion.

Our sincere thanks to everyone who helped to raise awareness of the issue through letters, faxes and phone calls.

Special mention goes to Mavis Beattie and Mobile Market, Love my Kitchen, Natureworks, Patterson's and the Salt Spring Raging Grannies.

Your efforts, combined with countless other Canadians, helped make this a victory for us all. MICHELLE GRANT, Upper Ganges Road

Response time Time is of the essence when sav­

ing lives and property. As volunteer firefighters and first responders we always don't get to respond in an emergency vehicle with red lights and sirens.

A lot of us respond from our homes and in our own vehicles. Our way of showing the people of Salt Spring when we are respond­ing is by using our four-way flash­ers on our vehicles. When you see a vehicle with four-way flashers and a fire department plate on the front licence plate, please pull over and allow us to respond. Thank you.

Applaud CRD I smoked for 22 years, while I

lived with my parents — all sec­ond-hand smoke.

I can only describe the habit as vile and disgusting. But if someone wants to smoke, that's up to them, even though it's probably the most stupid thing they could do.

If people want to smoke in pub­lic, that's fine, as long as they con­tain their waste products in such a way that they do not pollute the sur­rounding area for others; they have rights too.

To end this letter, both my par­ents died early in life to smoking-related causes. My sister, dead at 27 — smoking related — that is the reality.

So think twice on smoking, and I applaud the CRD for having the guts to implement the smoking law. RODERICK MACDONALD, Wildwood Drive

No guarantee For users of the Highland Water

System, the CRD, in recognizing the significant reduction in water usage, has put the price up by 56 per cent for the year 1999.

They are pumping and filtering less water, so they charge more. Do you realize that in their Bylaw No. 1792, Section 28 "Water Pressure," the CRD does not guarantee a spe­cific pressure or a continuous sup­ply of water? That's the answer I got, when inquiring about the poor water pressure I have, while paying the same price as everyone else on the water system.

Will the cost take another big increase again the following year? T. MCCORMICK, Trincomali Heights

No lights In early December I forced

myself to put up Christmas lights on our front hedge. It was some­thing my wife, Beth, and I had done for the past four or five years.

Beth died from cancer in September, but I felt she would want me to set up the lights, even though I found it very difficult to do. I was away for four weeks and had the lights on a timer. When I got back on January 11, I was annoyed to find that all the light strings (eight in total) had been removed. My neighbour saw the lights on the previous Saturday night so they must have been stolen sometime on Sunday, January 10.

This letter is to advise my neigh­bours that I regret there will be no hedge lights next year and I hope the culprits make good use of the lights so that some other neigh­bourhood may enjoy them. KEN ROBINSON, Elizabeth Drive

Tax survey The temporary First World War

measure called income tax cele­brated its 82nd birthday on January 18.

Back then, at birth, it was only 12 pages long. My has it grown, especially here in our province with all of its cousins such as the provincial sales tax, the provincial hotel room tax, the corporate capi­tal tax, the property purchase tax and many others.

Members of the Family Coalition Party have approved several resolutions at policy con­ventions over the years dealing with taxes, including support for a provincial tax credit for needy sin­gle-income families with children, a constitutional amendment that would mandate a balanced provin­cial budget, the abolition of the corporate capital tax on industry, the property purchase tax on homes, the provincial sales tax surcharge on hotel rooms and the provincial sales tax from fuel and energy sources, and the installa­tion of equipment that improves air quality such as electric cars, conversions to propane and natur­al gas, and solar heating.

The Family Coalition party also believes strongly that our province, rather than the federal government, in accordance with Section 92(2) of the Constitution, should collect its own income tax for provincial purposes and that a orovincial tax svstem needs to be

developed to sustain the tradition­al family as the fundamental unit of society and to sustain good government. We would ensure that legally married couples are not discriminated against in the tax system.

For 1998, each and every British Columbian owns a $5,550 share in the province's debt. With this massive debt, with this lack of a balanced budget, we believe tax­payer's money must firstly be treated with the respect it deserves and the acknowledgment of the hard work done by the taxpayer to create it in the first place.

Now if you suddenly owed more than a hundred grand in back rent and had to pay $28,000 a year from here on, you'd scream too. The problem with the homes is they're built on land belonging to the Musqueam Indian Band. And they've increased the rent on the land by a staggering 4,666 per cent.

Outrageous, the homeowners say, and you might agree. But as a newspaperman I can tell you with the utmost assurance that there are at least two sides to every story. This one is no exception.

To put it mildly, until it got jurisdiction over its land, it was the Musqueam Band that was short-changed. For more than 30 years, the owners of the homes, some in the million-dollar range, paid a pittance for the leases.

The subdivision was developed by Block Brothers in 1965. The homeowners signed a 99-year lease with the Department of Indian Affairs. They agreed to pay $280 a year for the land under their homes. The leases were tied to the cost of living index and rose to about $600 a year over time.

The contract stipulated that the lease was to be re-opened in 30 years, when the new rate was to be set at six per cent of the property's market value a year.

Perhaps nobody could foretell how real estate prices in Vancouver would escalate, but escalate they did, dramatically. By 1995, when the leases were to be renewed, the value of some of the lots, particularly those with a view of the Fraser, was assessed at $600,000.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that based in the six-per-cent-of-value formula, a $600,000 property would fetch $36,000 a year. And that's what the Musqueam band wanted, period.

The lawyers for the homeowners sent me a voluminous e-mail message recently, laying out their case. Whenever some­body does that, they're taking a chance that I might not buy into their argument. And I didn't.

The homeowners complain that the band isn't willing to seri­ously negotiate a new rate. Well, that's not quite true. There were negotiations. Initially, the homeowners offered to pay $1,000 a year. Their final offer was $6,000 a year.

I must tell you that I, too, would have flatly rejected those offers and done what the band did — take the issue to court, which ruled in 1997 that the land was worth $600,000 but that this value had been reduced by at least 50 per cent because of the risk of blockades.

The band appealed and last December got a ruling that the 74 homeowners are legally bound to pay six per cent of the mar­ket value, after deducting the original cost of developing the property, a deduction of $117,000. That leaves the homeown­ers to pay $28,000 a year.

True, the homeowners are in a real pickle. Banks are proba­bly as eager to underwrite mortgage renewals on these homes as a pig is to get to the slaughterhouse. But a contract is a con­tract.

I can't help but wonder who the lawyers were that advised the homeowners when they signed the leases back in 1965. Didn't they tell the people that leases are a tricky business at best? And if they did, why didn't the people listen?

As I see it, the homeowners pretty well got a free ride for 30 years, while the Musqueam band got screwed.

Now the shoe is on the other foot, and I just can't find it in my heart to condemn the Musqueam band for its insistence that the people who signed the contracts honour them.

Store helps 'kick butt' Thrifty Foods is giving its

employees a helping hand, and other islanders are welcome to join in the KickButt quit smoking pro­gram, starting this week on Salt Spring.

The program boasts a 47 per cent success rate compared to the seven to 20 per cent rate of other quit smoking methods.

And while the year-long, four-stage KickButt program is tradi­tionally run from a Victoria clinic, Thrifty Foods is bringing Dr. Ron Aspinall to Salt Spring for an ori­entation workshop this Monday.

The workshop is free and the entire program costs $350 — about the same cost as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 10 weeks.

Thrifty Foods manager Dan Lee says his company is offering to reimburse the cost of the program for employees who manage to quit smoking.

If they are still smoke-free one year following the course, the gro­cery store will pay back the $350. To obtain the reimbursement, the employee must submit to a saliva test.

The program includes additional costs for medications used in stage three, however, most company extended health plans pay a por­tion of this expense.

The four-part program begins with a 90-minute orientation

workshop which looks at how addiction works and how treat­ment tools are used.

"Bring your cigarettes," says program promotional material, "You don't quit yet."

A four-week preparation period follows. Here, the participant develops a personal treatment plan, undergoes separation psychology exercises, attends weekly support groups and picks a quit day.

In the eight-week "cessation" stage, medications are used to sup­press withdrawal symptoms and separation psychology manages triggers. There are also weekly indi­vidual and group support sessions.

The fourth stage — 12 months in duration— sees the end of med­ication use, continued support meetings and monthly follow-ups.

Anyone interested in participat­ing in the program should contact Lee at Thrifty Foods. A location for the program will be determined when numbers are known.

GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD N E WS B E AT WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1999 * T l

University student says age is an asset

Peter Wigen Biographical sketch:

I am 23 years old, a resident of Salt Spring for 18 years, and third-generation Salt Spring Islander. I attended Fulford Elementary School from its inauguration in 1984 until 1988, then commuted daily off-island to high school at Pacific Christian High (where I served as president of the student council).

I have worked three summers aboard a commercial salmon troller and four summers at Camp Narnia in Burgoyne Bay. Last summer I worked at Ruckle Park where I also have an organic strawberry farm.

I am currently in my third year of a four-year political science pro­gram at the University of Victoria, to which I commute four days a week from home in Fulford. Reasons for candidacy:

As a former student on Salt Spring I believe that I bring a unique perspective to the board. I am personally familiar with the demands of schooling faced by students who must commute daily to and from the islands to school.

As a UVIC student I am remind­ed on a daily basis of school pro-

Peter Wigen

grams that are benefi­cial to ambitious s tudents s e e k i n g post sec-o n d a r y education.

I am also aware of parts of the cur­r iculum

that are less important or unneces­sary. I promote the basics of edu­cation, math and English, as well as recognizing the value of the arts.

I value strongly the role of pub­lic educators to instill good work and social skills in their students.

I believe my age and experience will prove a benefit in diversifying and focusing the efforts of the board in carrying out its duty in educating and socializing the young people of the Gulf Islands.

I will apply my abilities and knowledge to the tasks at hand and to gain experience to further con­tribute to our community in the future.

I ask for your endorsement and support on February 6 and after.

Former trustee offers 'skills and experience'

David Eyles 1. These are particularly diffi­

cult, complex and challenging times for the board. I am offering myself as a candidate for trustee because I believe that with my skills and experience I can help.

2. My educational experience includes two university degrees and training in conflict resolution. As a trustee for more than 10 years in the past, I have acquired a good knowledge of the complexities of our educational system. As every

time I sought re­election I was suc­cessful, I would like to think that this indicates I was mak­ing a worthwhile contribu-David Eyles

tion. Of course a person is not just a list of skills and experience; there are many other important factors. I believe I could also contribute a sense of humour, creativity and a positive approach to the problems faced.

3. I believe the three top priori­ties for our school district should be:

• To provide a good, solid, rele­vant education to all our students. No matter what difficulties and disruptions arise, the whole reason the school district is here is to pro­vide the best possible education to our young people. That must always remain the top priority.

• To get our district's finances on an "even keel" in both the short and long term.

• To work with all partner groups towards getting our educa­tional system out of the role of being a football on the field of pol­itics so that we can work towards developing improved morale and long-term stability in the district.

School candidates answer questions

With the first advance poll in the by-election for a Salt Spring trustee on the Gulf Islands School Board set for next Wednesday, information on the five candidates is provided this week.

The information runs on this page as well as the following page.

Candidates were asked to give brief biographical information and answer three questions: .1. Why do you want to serve on the board? 2. What can you offer the board and school district? 3. What do you think the district's top three priorities should be at this time?

The five candidates — John Davies, David Eyles, Garth Hendren, Ken Lee and Peter Wigen — chose to present the data and their views in different ways. Some responses were edited to fit them into the allotted space.

Advance polls are on January 27 and February 3. Election day is February 6.

ARE YOU A FERRY USER? If so, please read - this affects you!

As you are probably aware, the BC Ferry Corporation has been working with stakeholder groups over the last several years with the intent to re-configure Southern Gulf Islands service. This is in order to increase the efficiency of the system. This has led to the formation of tentative schedules for Route 9 (Long Harbour - Tsawwassen and Route 5 /5a (Swartz Bay -Outer Islands). BCFC management intends to implement this new service as early as May of this year.

We are a group of employees who have been actively involved in the above process, and although we applaud the efforts that have brought about the existence of improved schedules for all, we feel it necessary to warn you about the downside to this proposal. BCFC have expressed their intention to pro­ceed with the new service with smaller ships all round. Not only will a small­er ship be used on the Long Harbour route, but also at Fulford AND Vesuvius. This directly contradicts the original mandate of the process.

The fact that in the summer months especially, the present ships are barely handling existing demand. The immediate impact will be overloads on all 3 Saltspring ferry routes on an ongoing regular basis. This will negatively affect many aspects of your lifestyle that you currently take for granted; such as ease of access to Vancouver Island. Furthermore, businesses on Saltspring will feel the impact in that it will take longer for goods and services to be brought over, thus costing you, the consumer, more in the long run. Access for tourism will also be downgraded in a similar manner.

We feel that the new schedules should be utilized with the larger ships currently in place. This will be cheaper to implement as the logistical support is already present. This will allow ferry users a chance to see what their service should be like, and has built in capacity for future growth on the system. Remember that it is YOUR ferry service, and it should serve you accordingly.

Tourism is the only growth industry in this region, and we need to actively promote it in every way possible - this especially includes realistic ferry service to/ from the Southern Gulf Islands.

PLEASE ATTEND THE PUBLIC MEETINGS JANUARY 2 6 T H 7 :30 - 9 :30 PM Fulford Community Hall

JANUARY 2 7 T H 7 : 3 0 - 9 :30 PM All Saints By The Sea

and show support for what you want; not what off-island manager's think you need.

This preceding was brought to you and paid for by Southern Islands Employees - BCFMWU Local's 7 / 1 8 . It should be noted that none of the preceding

has anvthina whatsoever to do with current round of contract neaotiatiDns.

Accountability for all in system Garth Hendren

1. I have worked in the field of educational administration for 25 years and I strongly support the principles of public education, which is the lynchpin of democra­cy.

2.1 will bring 25 years of experi­ence in educational administration at both a local school board and provincial level.

I have taught English in senior secondary schools and worked in various capacities at the provincial level, including curriculum devel­opment, text and resource identifi­cation and selection, and profes­sional development for teachers and administrators.

The knowledge and expertise I have gained in these capacities shall be applied to the specific problems that we face in this school district.

I have lived in this school juris­diction for the past 10 years and my children attended our publicly supported schools. I have a good understanding of the problems that we face in this school district from the perspective of a parent, teacher, educational administrator, ratepay­er and citizen.

3. It is difficult to limit myself to

three objectives because there are many things that need to be done. As a board we must contin­ue to be fis­cally respon­sible and to the best of

v . - i i i .

a *M

Km Garth

Hendren

our abilities balance our budget.

We must look beyond the usual sources of revenue and c o n s i d e r going into partnership with other school jurisdiction and social ser­vices agencies. This will provide students with opportunities not available at the present time and will support teachers in their search for better ways of delivering instruction and programs.

I believe that parent advisory committees must be given greater authority than they presently have. Parents and other people vitally concerned about education must be offered the opportunity to partici­pate in such areas as curriculum development, program revisions and delivery.

These people are the foundation for our educational system and their skills, knowledge and abilities must be exploited to insure that we have a healthy education system that reflects their needs and the needs of their children.

I would also urge the Ministry of Education to reconsider all special education services in light of the fact that school boards do have limited resources.

Some of these services should rightly be charged to departments such as Human Resources.

When I look at the services pro­vided to one special needs student in light of what is spent on one average student I see that we must shift our priorities so that all stu­dents receive the best education possible.

As a board member I would also urge the government to review our relationship with the various unions that represent all workers in the school jurisdictions.

It is time to consider the needs and resources of the local boards, their communities, and the parents and students first. Within the framework of the School Act we must find ways of making all of our educational personnel account­able.

Plans to be open and responsive John Davies

1. More questions than answers remain after the extraordinary dys­function we all experienced last year. To move forward and create the future, an organization may wish to have encouragement from new people to abandon past entrenched positions and beliefs that may no longer be helpful or true.

2. A diverse life experience may give me a unique understanding of the positions of the many players in the education field from all sides. I'm a parent with children in two district schools, not related to any employees of the district; chairman of the middle school par­ent advisory council; a former CUPE employee and a non-union­ized worker; a professional with ethical and competency responsi­bilities, but previously a layperson dealing with professionals; a self-employed small business person and an employer; a government

bureaucrat and a consul­tant dealing with govern­ment; a researcher in diverse set­tings, from Q u e e n C h a r l o t t e City to Puno, Peru.

3. Overall,

1 ^ 3 * 1 John Davies

I view all of the players and their regular daily interactions as part of a "corporate culture" whose prima­ry purpose is to utilize all resources to most creatively and productively educate young peo­ple. To the extent that fear and other negative emotions enter into daily activities, the organization may be disabled from fulfilling its fundamental goals. As participants adopt entrenched positions, the pursuit of truth may be the first casualty. Each participant, includ­ing the district, must take owner­

ship of the problem. What's a trustee to do? • Reconsider all facts. What was

true yesterday may not be true, or helpful, today. Which facts are most forward looking?

• Reconsider the global perspec­tive. Can the Gulf Islands School District be financially self-sustain­ing? What portion of our property, income and other taxes do we expect to be devoted to the educa­tion of young people? To what extent may school trustees be advocates for the cause of educa­tion in the broadest sense?

• Identify and support small, specific, achievable goals to enhance diverse opportunities for all students to be recognized and rewarded for their individual tal­ents, such as an alternate high school program or leadership classes at all schools. Be open and responsive to suggestions.

opportunity to both balance its budget and come up with "made in the Gulf Islands" solutions. I am committed to making this happen.

2. I can offer the school district the benefit of my broad- based community involvement. Also, having been both a teacher and school trustee, I feel I can view the current crisis from both sides.

3. Priority 1: We must balance the budget and provide long-term fiscal stability.

Priority 2: Develop new pro­grams and use available space in our schools to include a wider clientele. That could include adult retraining and expansion of alter­nate schools like Phoenix to include the high school years. This would generate more school grants and create more jobs.

Priority 3: Develop a five-year plan to rationalize the sale of prop­erties and assets that are owned by the board. This would generate much-needed revenue and benefit rnmmnnilv nmorams

Bishop De Roo, Jubilee petition at All Saints solidarity day event

Bishop Remi De Roo is the guest speaker at International Solidarity Day at All Saints By-the-Sea on Saturday.

The Bishop of Victoria is well-known for his work in the fields of peace and human rights, and is one of thousands of people working on the Jubilee 2000 campaign world­wide.

Jubilee 2000 is spreading aware­ness and gathering signatures on a global petition aiming to have the debt of the world's 40 poorest nations cancelled. The term "jubilee" — a 50th anniversary — is being used in the biblical sense.

"You shall hallow the 50th year and proclaim liberation in the land for all its inhabitants. You shall make this your year of Jubilee," stales Leviticus 25:10.

"Based on that vision of com­passion and justice they developed a petition which is addressed to the leaders of the G-8 nations," says Bob Wild, a member of Salt Spring's 10 Days for Global Justice group, the main sponsor of International Solidarity Day.

Doors open at 11:30 a.m., with a potluck lunch soon after. Bishop De Roo will speak at about 12:45 p.m., with questions to follow.

Later in the afternoon, a film called A Matter of Interest will be shown. It looks at the issue of international debt, especially as it affects the world's poorest nations.

As Jubilee literature explains, the debts have already been paid many times over. "Between 1981 and 1997 the less developed coun­tries paid over US$2.9 trillion in interest and principal payments. This is about US$1.5 trillion more or double what they received in new loans."

But those countries' govern­ments continue to pay interest on debt while their people lack food, health care and education.

Copies of the petition will be available at the event.

A related issue — the exploita­tion of garment workers around the world — is also on Saturday's pro­gram.

The film called What's the Cost of Your Blouse, which explores the

issue of garment and footwear sweat shops, will be shown before the presentation on debt at 1:30 p.m. Wild points out that poor working conditions for little remu­neration is not only a problem for labourers in the developing world — it's a fact of life for many Canadian garment workers too.

There will be information on 10 Days' Wear Fair Card Campaign, which is pressuring the Canadian government to create a task force on sweatshop abuses, and for retailers and companies to set up and enforce codes of conduct.

Besides the 10 Days committee, Saturday's local sponsors are Salt Spring Voice of Women, Raging Grannies, Anglican and United churches, Ometepe-Gulf Islands Friendship Association, Core Inn, HEART and the MAI Coalition.

Petition: new hope for poor The Jubilee 2000 petition, which

is being circulated on Salt Spring and around the world, states:

"We, the undersigned, believe that the start of the new millenni­um should be a time to give new hope to the impoverished people of the world.

"To make a new beginning we believe it is time to cancel the backlog of unpayable debts of the most impoverished nations.

"We call upon the leaders of lending nations to write off these

debts by the year 2000. "We urge these leaders to take

effective steps to prevent high lev­els of debt building up again. They should promote sustainable eco­nomic and social development instead of supporting measures demanded by international finan­cial institutions that erode health care, education and the environ­ment, further impoverishing the poorest populations of the world."

The petition will be available at All Saints By-the-Sea Saturday.

Driving rain doesn't dampen Slasher prowess in 13-0 victory By MIKE LEVIN Driftwood Staff

With a 13-0 victory over Cowichan that should have been put out of its misery at halftime, the under-19 Salt Spring Slashers extended their season-long unbeat­en streak Sunday at GISS.

Cowichan played without four of its starters, due to the flu, and was never able to find its form against the league-leading hosts.

Driving rain throughout the match virtually negated both sides' skills.

"I can only wonder why their coach punished them by playing the second half," said Slashers coach Malcolm Legg, who saw his team take a 7-0 lead in the opening 45 minutes.

Cowichan was offered an early

The game's tone was set from the opening whistle with the Slashers holding the ball for three complete minutes.

The first score came in the fourth minute when a centering pass by Kate McNair dribbled over the keeper's foot and into the left corner.

Salt Spring put the game out of reach with goals in the 12th, 18th and 24th minutes and then left the decision up to its nearly impenetra­ble midfield.

The shutout was no real surprise from a defence that has given up only two goals during its entire season.

The soggy conditions slowed down play to the point where a good pass was one that didn't stop dead in a puddle of mud.

Yet the Slashers wingers were able to find space to manoeuver, especially Kyla Dares who had two solo runs.

She split the defence both times and scored easily early in the sec­ond half.

McNair also scored two goals, as did Tanisha Van Pelt, Stephanie Collette and Heidi Straarup.

Singles went to Carry Schwagly and Leah Martin.

With first place virtually assured, the Slashers will finish out league play this weekend and then earn a bye into the second round of B.C. Cup playoffs.

Geezers game cut short An exhibition match between Salt Spring Geezers and the island's

under-17 boys was cut short due to deteriorated field conditions Sunday at GISS.

With 15 minutes left in the cold, wet second half, referee Mary-Anne Legg called the game with the Geezers leading 3-0.

"I couldn't feel my legs and I could only imagine what the players were feeling," said Legg.

Rangers explode to 5-0 win

It was enough to make any coach smile.

Back into league action after six weeks away, Salt Spring Rangers combined an unbeatable defence with an explosive offence in a 5-0 decision over Gordon Head Scorpions Saturday at Portlock Park.

The local under-12 boys team had played an exhibition contest the weekend before against anoth­er local boys squad, but the league victory saw the Rangers perform on all cylinders.

Gordon Head actually took the incentive from the opening whistle. The visitors managed some early scoring chances, only to be thwart­ed by Ranger keeper Ryan Smith.

Then Salt Spr ing 's offence clicked into gear. Evan Eyles pounced on a loose ball in the Scorpions' crease and tallied what would become the winning goal.

Salt Spring added to its total when Aaron Rainsford finished off an excellent Julian Tross run for a 2-0 lead.

Eyles ' second marker and a breakaway goal by Koby Anderson gave the hosts an insur­mountable 4-0 margin at the half.

In the second half, the Rangers' defence stepped up.

Anchored by Guy Cunningham and Dylan Davies, the locals snuffed out every potential threat.

Michael Stewart rounded out the Rangers' goal total with his goal in the game's dying minutes.

Rangers travel to Metchosin Saturday for their next league game.

Old Boys needed time on their side in close match against Victoria team

Sea Otter Old Boys fell just short Sunday in a 2-1 loss to Victoria Athletics in over-30 men's soccer at Beacon Hill Park.

"We were really pressing them late in the second half," said Salt Spring player/coach Chris Cottrell. "If the game had been longer, we probably could have won it."

Sea Otter was outplayed in the first half yet found

itself down only l -0 at the break. Terry Walker tied it up for the visitors with a long, rising shot that caught a following wind and sailed into the top right comer.

But Victoria went ahead by one a few minutes later. The score held despite a late chance by Cottrell

which edged inches wide of the post. The Old Boys return home for the first time in

many games to host Gorge Sunday at GISS.

Generous Slugs blast Bruins in 4-3 game The Salt Spring Slugs made it

two wins in a row Sunday with an exciting 4-3 victory over Shoreline Bruins at Fuller Lake Arena.

Blain Johnson and Bob Akerman did most of the damage for the Slugs, although an act of generosi­ty almost came back to bite them.

The Bruins were short-staffed and so the Slugs' Paul Reynolds switched jerseys. Reynolds responded with one of his better games, tallying a goal and two

assists against his teammates. The hosts were down 2-0 before

Johnson and Akerman went to work.

Akerman broke the shutout when he banged in a rebound off Johnson's first shot of the game.

On the next shift the Slugs evened the score, with Akerman rippling the cords from another Johnson assist.

Bruins went up 3-2 before Johnson converted a give-and-go

with Akerman. It wasn't until late in the third

period that Salt Spring took the lead when Brad Patchett sent Todd Mclntyre alone up the left wing. Mclntyre made no mistake with a marker through the goalie's legs.

Still, the win wasn't secured until Slugs goalie Derek Topping robbed the Bruins on a breakaway.

Salt Spring next faces Sidney Blues in Sidney on Sunday.

Island players focus on setting up win With a two-week break between North Cowichan

Minor Hockey League games, Fuller Lake Panthers are getting some practise with bantam hockey exhibi­tion games.

Saturday the squad hosted Saanich Peninsula Eagles and emerged with a 9-2 victory at Fuller Lake Arena.

Salt Spring players chipped in a couple of goals but focussed mainly on setting up the Panthers' win.

After an even first 10 minutes, Stuart Sinclair broke the shutout with a wrap-around goal from an Ethan Becklake setup.

Becklake added a goal of his own in the second period.

Sinclair tallied two assists and Owen Beasley recorded three, with Jim Goldie and Adam Davies each adding a single helpout.

Slim losses prove senior boys are now a competitive force By MIKE LEVIN Driftwood Staff

The crystallization process has begun for GISS' senior boys bas­ketball team.

Slim losses to highly-ranked AA Sahali in the final of a weekend tournament in Nanaimo and to AAA Parklands at GISS Thursday are the latest proof that the Scorpions have gelled into a com­petitive unit

"We are never out of any of our games anymore, regardless of who they are against," said coach Myles Wilson following the 52-50 defeat at home to Parklands. "I think we're at a point where almost any­one on the team can step up and make a difference."

The process continued at Woodlands Secondary School on the weekend.

GISS took a 10-point decision over the hosts and a three-point victory over Nanaimo District Secondary School before moving to the championship game against Sahali from Kamloops.

Down 10 points with 30 seconds left in the final, the Scorpions bat­tled back with five straight points before bowing 70-65.

It was the Parklands game that revealed how far the Scorpions have come through Wilson's strict regimen of exhibition games against higher-ranked schools.

With top scorer Keanu Meyers on the bench early in the second quarter with foul trouble, Joe Cunliffe found his way inside to keep the locals in the match.

When Cunliffe found himself in foul trouble in the fourth, GISS' bench threw a pressure defence on their taller opponents and kept the score close enough to allow a late shot at victory.

Parklands was playing without its starting centre, at home with an ankle injury, and GISS started slowly against the team they had lost to by 17 points earlier in the season.

The Scorpions seemed unwilling to force shots or passes and only poor shooting from the guests kept GISS close at 14-11 at the end of 10 minutes and 35-26 at the half.

The two teams struggled through a sloppy third quarter with Parklands maintaining a nine-point advantage.

The fourth quarter finally pro­duced some entertaining basket­ball.

With both Meyers and Cunliffe on the bench, Parklands ran their lead to 14 before the swirling defence of Alex Bunyan, Chris Langdon, Mike Chen, Santih Buchan and Jesse McEachern helped cut the lead back to nine.

The Scorpions twin towers

returned with four minutes left and quickly pulled GISS to 51-47.

Chen's three-pointer with 11 seconds left cut the margin to one and, when Langdon's shot at the buzzer rimmed the hoop, the Scorpions had to settle for the loss.

Cunliffe paced GISS with 20 points. Meyers added 12.

Ironically it was the Scorpions first loss of the season on their home court.

"Our subs played hard on defence and that's what we do best," said Wilson. "When we had the short team out there and went to a zone, they only were able to score six points against us."

On the weekend, Meyers potted 28 against Woodlands and added another 20 in the Nanaimo District game. Cunliffe scored 18 in the second win.

In the final, Sahali used a 22-5 run in the second quarter to keep GISS off balance.

The Scorpions faced an impor­tant league matchup against Lake Cowichan Tuesday at Lake Cowichan and will host their own tournament Friday and Saturday at the Rainbow Road gymnasium.

GISS opens the event at 11:30 a.m. against Ucluelet Friday. Games go all day with the event championship at 6:15 p.m. Saturday.

Junior team takes third place trophy GISS' junior boys emerged with

the third-place trophy at an Archbishop Carney Secondary School basketball tournament over the weekend in Port Coquitlam.

The Scorpions posted a 2-1 record, including a 63-47 decision over Vancouver Technical, a 71-68 heartbreaker to Vancouver's Moscrop and a similar 71-68 win over Port Moody to secure third place.

"They were all close games and I'd say the guys handled the pres­sure well," said coach Tony Mason.

A league game scheduled for Thursday against Cowichan at GISS was cancelled when the visi­tors' transportation broke down.

The junior Scorpions opened the tournament Friday with a solid team effort.

They took a nine-point lead at the half and doubled it by the end of the game.

Six players each contributed eight points in the win although Tom McColm's excellent ball han­dling and inside penetration earned Mason's praise.

Against Moscrop, the Scorpions suffered a third-quarter lapse that allowed the winners to take off on a 23-7 run.

They fought back but were never able to find the last three points.

Brian Crowe led GISS with 19 points, while McColm added 14. Rhys Beasley's work on the boards was the main factor in GISS' three-point victory over Port Moody.

Overall, Crowe was named one of the tournament's all-stars, although Cam Beals was lost to the

team for at least two weeks with an ankle injury.

GISS played an exhibition game against Claremont in Victoria Monday and a league encounter against Brentwood Tuesday at home.

Judo athletes bring home bucket of tourney medals

Salt Spring's Judo Club continues to dominate at provincial-level tour­naments, adding five gold, one sil­ver and two bronze medals at Saturday's Vancouver Island Open in Victoria.

But as late-season financial reali­ty rears its head, the team may be forced to pass on the final event of the year.

The Saturday competition includ­ed the first senior men's events and marked the return to competition of two of Salt Spring's top competi­tors.

Jonah Fisher, 19, and a two-time provincial junior champion, came away with an undefeated record and the gold medal in the senior open-mens/expert class at Panorama Leisure Centre.

Adrian Elliott, also 19, returned to

enter the senior men's division and took the gold medal in his weight class unopposed as well as the silver medal in the next higher class.

Sophia Haase, 14, was also unop­posed in her juvenile-women's class. It gave her the gold medal and she also finished third in the next higher weight class.

Matt King, 17, had a strange tournament. Relegated to sixth in his junior-men's class, he rebound­ed to take third place in the more-difficult senior-men's event.

Eight-year-old Samantha Bird easily took the gold medal in her novice class as did Yoni Marmorstein, 10, in his novice class.

Marmorstein's performance was particularly gritty because he fought with a debilitating viral infection.

Atmospheric folk groove band members land on Salt Spring

TSUNAMI is bringing one island to the shores of another with a Saturday night performance by Bowen Island artists Julie Vik and Moritz Behm.

They're part of an "atmospheric folk groove" band called Resin, which released its self-titled CD last fall, followed by Behm's solo CD My Anthem.

Opening the show at Lions Hall, 8 p.m., will be Salt Spring's own Kayla Schmah on piano and vocals, saxophonist Emily Hickford and singers Caitlin Brownrigg and Aria Hillis.

Vik, who has four young sons, is a prolific singer/songwriter who performs on her own or with Resin. She has a "three-octave voice," an earthy sound and an ear for powerful poetry. Fans of Jane Siberry, Dead Can Dance and the Cowboy Junkies will be entranced, says the 1997 Bumbershoot festi­val guide.

Last fall Vik went to the Showcase for WomenMusic International in Nashville, and she has performed at Northwest Folklife in Seattle for the past two years.

"Vik's voice moves from pure highs to haunting lows, from soft whispers to decibels demanding attention," writes Dale Mason of the Undercurrent. "Gentle or assertive, her voice lends itself perfectly to each song's mood, whether passionately introspective or colourfully social."

Fiddle player Behm was former­ly with the Paperboys, and now plays with The Last Family, SWAG, and Moritz and the Fiddleheads, as well as Resin.

His music is a mix of Celtic and pop and, says Mason, "the perfect combination of tenderness and tenacity..."

Music reviewer Alexander Varty of The Georgia Strait loved Behm's CD. "My Anthem flows seamlessly from start to finish, with gripping melodies and emo­tive fiddling a constant," he wrote last month.

"I can't think of any other record that so perfectly distills the essence of this coast; you could write thousands of words explain­ing what it's like to live here, when one cycle through Behm's songs would suffice just as well."

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for youth and seniors. They are

available at Music Emporium, Acoustic Planet, Phlying Phish Co., Morningside Media, Foxglove and et cetera or the door.

However, seating is limited at the hall so advance tickets are rec­ommended.

Julie Vik and Moritz Behm of Resin perform at

Lions Hali on Saturday night at 8 p.m. Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for youth

and seniors.

Girls refuse to bow to wave of injuries By MIKE LEVIN Driftwood Staff

With player after player felled by injury, Kellie Booth wondered if she would have five walking Scorpions to put on the court.

The senior girls basketball coach lost all but one of her starting five during last week's games, yet still managed to emerge with a 2-2 record.

In an important league matchup against Frances Kelsey Thursday at home, GISS took a 56-45 victo­ry. But the team lost top-scorer Katharina Blanke to a quadricep pull four minutes into the game.

The injury also kept Blanke out of a weekend tournament at Chemainus.

In that event, the Scorpions dropped a 77-46 decision to Reynolds Friday and a 69-64 over­time contest to Frances Kelsey Saturday before rebounding for a 49-43 win over Chemainus.

"It seemed as if all we did was wait to see who would come out of the game next with an injury," Booth said. "Basically we played the whole tournament with the sec­ond string and did pretty well."

In the league encounter, the Scorpions defence set the early tone for what turned out to be a low-scoring game.

Guards Sarah Cameron and Claire Rustad pressed from the start and had gathered half a dozen steals before the midway point of the first quarter.

The ball control helped GISS to a 16-8 lead after 10 minutes.

Rustad left in the second quarter to attend an important game of her elite soccer team in Victoria, but the experienced tandem of Cameron and Sheila Stacey took up the slack.

Working the give-and-go like old friends, the pair pushed the

Scorpions' lead to 27-12 before suffering a few defensive lapses just before the half-time break.

They led 33-21, but as the third quarter started, Frances Kelsey picked up the momentum, scoring nine straight on excellent outside shooting to draw close at 33-30.

Stacey's neat inside drive at the five-minute mark cut the run, and GISS regained a 46-34 margin going into the final stanza.

Cameron, who had played every minute through three quarters, finally fouled out with her team comfortably in the lead. She led all scorers with 12.

Annette Wright also tallied a dozen, while Stacey chipped in 11.

Erin Hawkins contributed a solid 10 points coming off the bench.

"Sarah's defence was what led us," said Booth following the vic­tory that kept GISS undefeated in league play. "Also, it's good to see Annette learning to go to the bas­ket."

A foot injury to Wright, a thumb injury to Cameron and a quadricep bruise to Stacey left the Scorpions short at the Chemainus tourney.

The overtime loss to the same Frances Kelsey team was particu­larly disappointing.

"We just didn't have the steam. They came back to tie it 62-62 in regulation, but then we couldn't hold them off," Booth said.

Despite beating Chemainus, the coach was down to four healthy players and two walking wounded.

"It was a very tough and physi­cal tournament. It was good to see our second string step up," Booth said. "(Rookie) Christy Robley especially played quite well at both ends."

Tuesday the Scorpions travel to Chemainus for a league contest and then take a much-needed break from action this weekend.

Viberg family welcomes first baby of 1999

Cole Harland Viberg may be too young to know it, but he's already had his "15 minutes" of fame.

The new son of Darren and Karen Viberg — and new sib­ling to Mariah, age four, and Kristen, two and a half — was born at Lady Minto Hospital on January 14 at 2:45 a.m., making him Salt Spring's first baby of the year.

The honour brings Cole a num­ber of prizes, including a sterling silver baby cup from the Lady Minto Hospital Auxiliary.

He also receives a car seat from the B.C. Medical Association, and numerous prizes donated by local businesses through a contest staged by the Barnacle.

Chief of staff Dr. Holly Slakov says all doctors on the island con­tribute to a fund that purchases car seats for New Year's babies all over the province.

"It's an opportunity to encour­age people to use car seats and use them properly," Slakov says.

Grooms, Three Chord Sloth take on Fulford The Fulford Inn busts apart the

mid-winter doldrums this weekend with two nights of music from Gene Grooms and Three Chord Sloth.

Grooms is riding the waves of his first CD release, Sooner or Later, released just last month.

The Fulford show on Friday and Saturday nights will be largely

blues-based, says Sloth bass player Dave Roland, interspersed with other styles. It will include some of the songs on Sooner or Later, which is not a strictly blues release. World beat, funk and pop sounds defy categorization of the CD.

Grooms headed up the Gene Grooms Blues Project for years

Tuned Air's director steps down from post By GAIL SJUBERG Driftwood Staff

By this time next year, the eyes and ears of Tuned Air choir mem­bers will be following a new direc­tor.

After 12 years with Tuned Air choir, a group he helped establish from a cluster of Fernwood School parents and teachers who wanted to sing for their children, Bruce Ruddell has announced he will resign as its director in November.

Ruddell said last week that his work with the local arts organiza­tion has been completed and it's time for him to move on to some­thing else.

"My artistic mandate has been fulfilled," he said Friday. "I've done it."

"And the (group's) board fully supports that," added Tuned Air chairwoman Wendy Vine. "We understand and know it's the right thing to do."

Bo Curtis, also a board member, said most choir members under­stand Ruddell's decision, even if they don't like it.

Then, Curtis said, "after the ini­tial shock," people began thinking about the times they were directed by other high-level conductors, such as Johan Louwersheimer when they performed Mozart's Requiem, and Diane Loomer of Chor Leoni. "Every single time, there was a huge infusion of ener­gy," he said.

Anne Millerd, Tuned Air's pro­duction manager, said change is always difficult but the group's continual search for challenges has given it lots of experience in that department.

"It's always stayed fresh for me and this is part of the change," she said.

"Even when some singers have left we've felt, 'how can we go

on .' But the ever-changing composi­

tion of the choir makes it "like a kaleidoscope."

Ruddell said the choir will defi­nitely continue to do well without him. It has a healthy, strong ground structure and not only do Tuned Air fans expect excellence from choir members — "they know how to do it."

Millerd concurs. "Bruce has nur­tured a tremendous love of music in his choir and it's not something that is going to disappear."

Ruddell is a well-known com­poser and musician who has over the years juggled choir direction along with major projects on the mainland.

At present he is working with B.C. author David Petersen to cre­ate an original musical which Tuned Air will stage at ArtSpring in November. Called Worksongs, the material even came through workshops with choir members.

Attesting to Tuned Air's credi­bility, the group received $10,000 from the Vancouver Foundation, $1,300 from the Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation, and $3,000 from the Victoria Foundation, in addition to a B.C. Arts Council writing grant.

"It's going to be a luxury to con­centrate just on Worksongs," observed Vine, since the group usually has two or three projects on the go.

However, notes Millerd, finding a new director will be the "back burner" task for the year.

While the focus has naturally been on the effect of Ruddell's decision on the choir, it's also been an emotional decision for him.

Without a doubt, he said, "I'm going to miss those guys as much as they're going to miss me."

and has garnered a following at the best blues joints on the south coast. He has also warmed up well-known artists such as Jr. Wells, Amos Garrett, Long John Baldry, Ronny Jordan and The Birmingham Sunlights.

Grooms and Three Chord Sloth have played together on and off for the past four years, and both Roland and Sloth musician Neil Taylor performed on some Sooner or Later cuts.

"Neil has played a lot with me as the headliner on Blues Nights," says Roland. He also has his own band, Blessed Relief, which plays mainly rhythm and blues and jazz. The band will also perform some of Taylor's songs this weekend.

Joining Roland and Taylor is the incredible drummer Jerome Jarvis.

Everyone is looking forward to some invigorating blues music at the Fulford, where Roland says the sound is good and the lack of smoky haze will be welcome.

"It's a great little bar," he says. Dave Roland

Workshop looks at family break-up issues Issues facing both children and

parents following a family break­up will be addressed in an upcom­ing Family Place workshop.

Called Parenting After Separation, the three-hour informa­tion session will be held on two days, allowing separated spouses to attend at different times.

Offered free of charge, the work­shops will run Monday, January 25 from 6 to 9 p.m. and Tuesday, January 26, from 9 a.m. to noon at Hart Bradley Memorial Hall.

Facilitators Donna Law and Judith Avery will lead the work­shops, calling on their experience in helping families resolve con­flicts.

Family Place coordinator Ragnhild Flakstad has observed several island women who are basically raising children alone, yet

dealing with co-parenting issues at the same time.

"These women (and their part­ners) never wanted a relationship, but still have to share the child."

Some issues that must be dealt with are differing values and beliefs, including contrasting methods of discipline. Often the child is caught in the middle.

Other parents and children must deal with separations that occur after several years as a family.

The workshops aim to help par­ticipants understand how they and their children are affected by sepa­ration, and how parents can identi­fy and respond to the children's needs.

Topics covered in the workshop include:

• the impact of separation on everyone involved;

• strategies to help families adjust to the changes;

• the new child support guide­lines;

• family dispute resolution options, including mediation, counselling and the court process;

• effective ways to communicate and problem solve to build a posi­tive parenting arrangement.

Flakstad says a follow-up work­shop called Kids at Heart — Caught in the Middle will be held March 22 and 23.

The follow-up workshop is for separated, divorced or reorganized families, and deals with the effects of separation on children.

Flakstad says children often feel loyalty to both parents. They can be overcome by guilt, thinking they caused the break-up, and may feel rejected by one or both par­

ents. Furthermore, these children are often unable to explain or describe their feelings. More details on the follow-up workshop will appear in the Driftwood in March.

Meanwhile, the January work­shop is being sponsored by the B.C. Ministry of Attorney General, Family Place and with the help of the Salt Spring Lions Club, which is donating the hall free of charge.

Salt Spring Lodge Bed and Breakfast is providing accommo­dation for the speakers, also with­out cost.

For further information or to pre-register, call Flakstad at Family Place (537-9176).

Galiano Island saddened by death of community-minded Gill Allen

People living in an island community give their home area its particular charac­ter. So it was with Gill Allen; Galianoites were sad­dened this week to hear of her death.

Gill loved her island and its forests. She loved the wild birds and. animals as well, even naming some of the seagulls who visited her deck looking for scraps. Raccoons were a special joy to her, their nocturnal visits an event to look forward to. On daily walks with husband Ken, the seasons were noted, favourite trees and plants recognized — "all is well when nature flourishes."

Gill was a supporter of people and her community. A founding member of the renewed North Galiano Community Association in the early '80s, she served on the board for a time and was always a supporter of events she thought beneficial to others. She helped organize the early North Galiano Jamborees and the community's Bums suppers.

Husband Ken, an antique car collector, took part in July 1st Jamboree parades but not without Gill, there with a smile, elegant in a party dress and a flowery picture hat. A palmist, Gill was always glad to offer her special assistance at island events.

North Galiano's volunteer fire­men too will attest to her kindness. Living near the No. 1 Fire Hall, she was the weekly supplier of homemade cookies for the group's Monday evening practices.

Both Ken and Gill were teachers in Richmond before purchasing land on Galiano. In 1969 they bought one of Ollie Gamer's sub­divided lots near Shaw's Landing. Next to them the Readers were to

build Madrona Lodge. Another near-neighbour would soon open a gourmet restaurant, the nationally recognized "Pink Geranium." Ken and Gill left teaching in 1973 to live here full time, having pur­chased the neighbouring resort with its tourist cabins. As resort owners they were very successful, their welcoming ways appealing to adults and children alike. The chil­dren enjoyed Gill's art and craft classes each summer, given free of charge in a small studio building next to the couple's home. Year after year families returned — to see, to do and to learn.

Gill's own art endeavours took place all year long. Every evening at her kitchen table, when all was quiet at the resort and meals were finished for the day, out would come the paints and canvasses, her art a testimony of her love of nature.

The couple's large parlour became a veritable art gallery. Ranked there were oils of prairie farm scenes (the couple had spent their early lives in Alberta), por­traits of family members, seascapes and paintings of trees. Many Galiano homes boast a Gill Allen painting. Showings of her work in Victoria and elsewhere were always well received, spread­ing her fame as a painter to a wider public.

Gill was also an author. Her tale, The Magic Pin, written for the pre-teen set, was published about five years ago and sold well. Its inspi­ration was found on the island of Sicily, the area where the Aliens,

Saturna nurse remembered for her passion to help others

Hazel Eileen Piper, 1 f/-""w* ••:•: -I ferry and high school studi Hazel Eileen Piper, a much-loved islander of many years, passed away peacefully at her daughter's home in Sidney, January 11.

Hazel was well known as a nurse and she could be counted on to help anyone whether the situation was an emergency, a difficulty with a chronic health problem or just a need for reassurance and advice.

Hazel moved to the island as a retired nurse in 1980 to be near her son Don and his family. She was instrumental in running the Medical Clinic and, along with fel­low nurse Polly Howarth, was always on call for medical emer­gencies.

For many years after her arrival no doctor lived on the island and there was no ambulance. Almost every resident of the island called on Hazel for urgent help at one time or another during her early years on Saturna. Her untiring vol­unteer service was always marked by a well-developed sense of humour.

A caring attitude is what people will remember most about Hazel. She was passionate about helping those in need. She nursed countless friends and neighbours. This con­tinued even after she moved to Sidney in her late 70s and when her own health was failing.

Hazel was a member of St. Christopher's church and the Women's Service Club. She played bridge and crib and was active in the Old Age Pensioners' Organization.

She once made a Santa suit for a surprise for her grandchildren. This is still used every year for the

school Christmas concert. Hazel remained an active com­

munity member here until she moved off the island and even then she spent much of her time caring for island neighbours who retired to Sidney.

Born Hazel Hamblin, in Winnipeg, on July 5, 1918, Hazel lived there until she married her first husband, Ernie Piper, a navy serviceman, in World War II. The couple had two children, Don and Barbara, and settled in Vancouver near Ernie's work after the war.

In 1980 she moved to Saturna with her new husband Jack Trickey.

Survived by her two children, four grandchildren, two great grandchildren, a sister and brother, Hazel will be greatly missed.

Family members expressed their thanks to the nurses at the Victoria Hospice and the CRD, and the many friends and caregivers who helped during Hazel's illness.

Hazel will be remembered in a service at St. Paul's United Church in Sidney on Saturday, January 23 at 2 p.m.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made in Hazel's name to the Saturna Island Ambulance and Medical Clinic. Donations can be forwarded to P.O. Box 130 Saturna Island, BC VON 2Y0.

Crash witnessed Islanders catching the morning

ferry and high school students waiting for the water taxi Wednesday morning shortly after 6:30 a.m. were startled by a huge explosion and fire ball when a DC3 cargo plane crashed on near­by Mayne Island. The glow from the fire lit up the sky over Mayne until daylight.

Tom Toynbee, who first reported the incident to the Coast Guard from the water taxi, described a bright light like an emergency flare sometimes used by Search and Rescue craft to light up the waters for a night search.

Within an hour the extent of the disaster was clear as emergency services converged on the area. Islanders responded with sympathy to the victims and concern about a reoccurrence in this area of heavy air traffic.

Robbie Burns Saturna Lions will celebrate

Robbie Burns night at the Community Hall on Saturday, January 23. This ever-popular evening of pomp and ceremony was sold out well in advance.

John Fryer has been invited to act as master of ceremonies. Many regulars as well as a few fortunate newcomers are looking forward to an enjoyable and energetic evening in memory of "the bard."

Swimming Saturna students begin swim­

ming lessons this week. They will take classes at the Commonwealth Pool on Thursday afternoons until spring break.

Watch for the young travellers leaving on the mid-morning ferry and returning on the afternoon boat.

ANNOUNCING

"TRUST BUSTERS" Hate the Islands Trust? Here's your chance to help get rid of them. A well known, highly respected lawyer has agreed to prepare a legal challenge of the "Islands Trust Act" based on arguments under the Constitution and Canadian Charter of Rights.

Your financial support is needed. The retainer is $5,000 with costs of hearing the case expected to reach upwards of $100,000.

This is not an environmental issue, it is a matter of democratic principle.

TRUST BUSTERS Call Drew Clarke at 537-9799 to join the fight.
