Waltho won't let cancer stop her Fundraiser determined to go in Terry Fox Run despite new diagnosis By GAIL SJUBERG Driftwood Staff

Nothing can keep Terry Fox Run mega-fundraiser Phyllis Waltho away from her annual Herculean task — not even the rigours of

Texada talks stall, resume By GAIL SJUBERG and TONY RICHARDS Driftwood Staff

Talks are to resume between Texada Land Corporation and the provincial government after the two sides reached an impasse last week.

All partners in the purchase dis­cussions declared the talks were off Monday, and Rob Macdonald of Texada confirmed he had received a letter from provincial government negotiating rep Godfrey Archbold advising him of that fact.

By Tuesday morning the tide had turned.

Macdonald said discussions with government officials Monday evening and Tuesday morning were able to identify some common ground. "We're meeting again later this week," he said.

Lloyd Rushton, Capital Regional District (CRD) Parks administrator, said Tuesday morning he had just been told that another offer from Macdonald would be forthcoming, although nothing had yet been received in writing.

While the picture looked grim late Monday, Joyce Murray was still sounding an upbeat note. The Minister of Water, Land and Air Protection told the Driftwood she was optimistic negotiations would be successful.

But she was drawing the line at paying more than fair market value for Texada's lands.

"I think these are sensitive ecosys­tems and there is general agreement they are very appropriate for park land and I'd like to see that happen. At the same time there a lot of sensi­tive ecosystems we would like to see as park land, but not by paying more than fair market value. .. that's not a responsible approach to taxpayers' dollars."

Murray said the difference TEXADA 7

Waltho, 53, raised a phenomenal $4,052 last year, beating her previ­ous year's mark of $2,812.84, and you won't find a more committed event booster anywhere.

The determined Salt Spring woman entered her first run in 1991, soon after she was declared free of the Hodgkin's disease form of can­

cer she was diagnosed with the year before.

She's walked the walk every year since, and been an integral promoter of and volunteer for the Salt Spring run.

Local run coordinator Paula Davies has so much admiration for Waltho and gratitude for her efforts that she has dedicated this year's run to her.

Waltho's fundraising verve cata­pulted her into the No. 16 national spot one year, and helped her become an official Terry's Team member. That's an honour reserved for cancer survivors demonstrating exceptional support of the Terry Fox Run and a willingness to promote its philosophy.

Mill planning four-day festival A festival that will celebrate the

production and processing of fibre into yarns has been scheduled for Salt Spring Island next year.

The four-day event will begin July 25 and offer a series of activi­ties focusing on the farm production of fibre, its processing into yarns and designer fashions.

Sponsored by the Gulf Islands Spinning Mill, the festival will be more than just a regional event. According to Susan Berlin, a co-organizer with Maggie Krieger, the festival is scheduled immediately prior to an international weavers' and spinners' conference called Convergence, which will be held next year in Vancouver.

The local event will cater to a broad range of interests with a focus on fashions, fleeces and animals,

Berlin said in an interview, with a potential audience of fibre crafts­people, fashion designers and fami­lies.

"One of the goals," she said, "is to spread the word about natural fibres" and promote the local indus­try.

Workshops will look at the ori­gins of natural fibre yarns and what makes a good fleece, along with the best applications for different kinds of fleece.

Local fibre products will be on sale throughout the festival, and farm and spinning mill tours will be offered. A sheep-to-shawl contest, sheepdog demonstrations, exotic animal displays, shearing demon­strations and a display of award-winning alpaca fleece are also among the features planned.

For the Saturday evening of the festival, organizers plan to invite Canada's top designers to supply designs for a fashion show at ArtSpring. Also at the arts centre will be a juried display of products made from locally spun yarn.

One of the festival's goals is to encourage interest in heritage and exotic yarns among designers. "Designers' knowledge (of the fibre industry) is practically nil," Berlin said. Designers will be provided with yarn spun at the local mill.

Organizers hope the event will be a regular one. "That's the intent — to do it every year or every second year," Berlin said.

Ideally, she explained, it would lake place after shearing time in the

She will be on the road again on Sunday, September 9 with a little help from her friends. "They are going to pull me or drag me," she said. Last week a scheme to have Waltho ride on a float pulled by a tractor was in the works. "It'll be the Float of Hope."

Originally her friends planned to push her around the route in a wheelchair, but Waltho is con­cerned even that will be too stren­uous, considering she will have just completed her second round of chemotherapy.

Waltho said it's been harder to be dealt the second blow of anoth­er diagnosis and she is apprehen­sive about going through chemotherapy again, knowing the intensity of what she calls "blasts from hell."

"Physically, the last time the chemotherapy was really hard on me — it almost killed me versus the disease killing me."

On the other hand, she has since learned that anti-nausea drugs and other medications are much better than they were 10 years ago, just like the information provided to patients and family members is now fathoms deeper and more thorough.

So much has changed through the funds and profile raised by the Terry Fox Foundation.

Waltho said talking to and hear­ing Betty Fox speak when the Fox family came to Salt Spring last year was both heartwarming and a real eye-opener. "I hadn't realized until that time how hard it was for them to speak," observed Waltho, "but she realized it is part of Terry's dream to keep (his story) alive, and people want to hear her."

There's no doubt that she and others have been wildly success­ful. Some $275 million has been raised for cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation in the past 20 years.

Waltho points out the huge effect research has had on the sur­vival cancer rates. For the kind of cancer she has — an aggressive rash type comprising only four per cent of breast cancer incidents — the survival rate used to be zero per cent after five years. Now that percentage has been hiked up to 50.

It's one reason she's optimistic she can thump cancer for the sec­ond time. "I have a chance and it's only because of people participat-

SECOND DIAGNOSIS: Cancer survivor Phyllis Wal tho has been diagnosed a second time with the disease, but intends to participate in the Terry Fox Run regardless. ».o»b,D«ndiiur«»,

ing in the Terry Fox Run," she said.

Another reason for optimism is that she is buoyed by the "excel­lent" support and love of her friends and family. "Terry had a team and I have a team." Waltho runs her hand over her stubble of hair and smiles to recall the "hair-cutting party" filled with laughs and emotion a few days before. She was showered with baseball caps, a colourful bandanna and a hand-sewn hat with flaps and an adjustable brim. Both features are ideal, she said, because chemotherapy often makes her feel either too hot or too cold. The hat is also lined with silk, which is comforting to a distressed scalp.

Talking about how she feels while on the front lines with the disease is also soothing for Waltho, although she understands why others choose to not disclose or open themselves to conversa­tions that may feel awkward.

Waltho is comfortable with peo­ple approaching her about having cancer, she said. "And I like them to know that I have good days and bad days," and might have to con­tact them by phone or e-mail later.

She also intends to carry through with her finely-honed practice of gathering the most pledges to lead Salt Spring's impressive total, so her "regulars" should expect the phone call any day if they haven't received it already.

Waltho actually collects money from five or six provinces, and a dear friend in northern Ontario canvasses her own town for Waltho.

Last year the Salt Spring total was $21,187.29.

"The community involvement here is really quite overwhelming," said Waltho.

Everyone should note that the Salt Spring event is held a week earlier than most to avoid a con­

flict with the island's fall fair weekend.

Pledge forms are available at both Pharmasave locations, Home Hardware, GVM, Thrifty Foods,

the Chamber of Commerce, Bank of Montreal, Island Savings Credit Union, local cafes and the Saturday market. Activities are centred at Fernwood Elementary, with registration from noon and the run start-time at 1 p.m.

spring. Working with wool and other

yarns enjoys a strong following on the island. The Weavers and Spinners Guild has more than 80 members, and a separate knitters guild also operates here.

The spinning mill's weekly out­put is about 80 lbs., most of which is yarn. (See separate story.)

While next year's festival will generate revenues with registra­tion and other fees, organizers

need seed money to get it started. They're looking for sponsorships of $250 each. More information can be obtained from the Gulf Islands Spinning Mill at 537-4342 or by e-mail to spinningmill@salt-spring.com.

Although the festival is nearly a year off, Berlin and Krieger are already excited about the prospect and believe it has great potential.

"This is what Salt Spring 's about," Berlin said.

Mill has doubled its capacity since opening

The Gulf Islands Spinning Mill has grown since it was established just over two years ago in a building on the Farmers Institute property on Rainbow Road.

The mill has more than doubled its capacity by adding a second carder and spinner and a new washing system. In addition, other machinery has been modified for increased efficiency.

Only a few of its customers are local. Most are fibre producers from various parts of Canada and the United States.

"We now spin some of the best yarn in Canada," says spokeswoman Susan Berlin. "We've been told that."

The mill processes wool, alpaca, llama and mohair fibres and can cus­tomize the output — roving, yarn, batts or felt — to customers' specifi­cations. A cooperative, it is one of a handful of small spinning mills in North America, and produces about 80 lbs. of yarns and roving every week.

A labour-intensive operation, the mill employs five people who fill two and a half full-time positions.

"We're teetering on the edge of being self-supporting," says Berlin.

REPORT A minor vehicle accident early

Monday morning resulted in a 24-hour driving prohibition to an off-island driver, plus reimbursement for a stop sign.

The 18-year-old driver from Crescent Valley, B.C. had crashed his 1983 Toyota pick-up on Cranberry Road.

Police found a stop sign inside the vehicle when they attended the scene. The man will reimburse JJM maintenance for the cost of the sign's replacement and installa­tion.

In other police news: • A 17-year-old Salt Spring man

was issued two alcohol-related tickets Saturday.

Local police observed the man walking around town drinking beer and cited him for possessing an opened liquor container in a vehi­cle ($115) and drinking liquor in a public place ($58).

• Police received a complaint of an intoxicated man causing a dis­turbance at a local resort Friday.

The man was arrested for caus­ing a disturbance after he became non-compliant with attending offi­cers.

The man was detained overnight and released when sober in the morning. The incident is still under investigation.

• Off-island RCMP officers assisted with seasonal policing duties again last weekend.

The detachment has been short-staffed since the transfer of Const. Jamie Tretiak.

"Off-island officers have assist­ed with enforcement every week­end over the summer," said detach­ment commander Sgt. Darbyshire.

Last week marked the end of the additional off-island assistance program.

"Jamie's replacement has gone in for knee surgery and we don't know when he will be able to return," Darbyshire said.

Last weekend Const. Maurizio Rosa of North Cowichan and Const. Dave Hergesheimer of Nanaimo joined local police enforcing the zero-tolerance policy for consumption of alcohol in pub­lic places.

The officers issued six tickets for a variety of alcohol-related infrac­tions while patrolling Ganges on bicycles over the weekend.

New system turns wastewater into irrigation water By GAIL SJUBERG Driftwood Staff

Between land use bylaw discus­sions, the Maxwell Lake water­shed purchase and the fall-out from the Walkerton, Ont., water disaster, St. Mary Lake water quality faced its share of scrutiny this year.

While the discussions were going on, one family with a resort business was quietly working to keep extra nutrients out of waste­water in their own back yard.

Mark Toole and his wife Debbi, who run Lakeside Gardens Resort next to the public swimming beach at St. Mary Lake, installed a state-of-the-art advanced sec­ondary sewage treatment system with the ability to turn wastewater into nitrogen-and-phosphorus-rich irrigation water.

I t 's not that the Tooles had nothing better to do with their time and money. The old system, which got heavy summertime use from the eight-cabin, 12-campsite property, had failed, forcing some kind of action.

Toole called the situation "a general disaster." He had a non­conforming system which was installed before the island had bylaws, he had Capital Health Region (CHR) environmental health officer Michael Riefman to please, and he wanted "to do the right thing."

"I had no idea what we were going to do until we met Wayne," Toole told the Driftwood.

"Wayne" is Wayne Lee, a pro­fessional engineer whose compa­ny, Aqion Water Technologies Ltd., is based on Salt Spring.

Lee introduced the Tooles to the idea of incorporat ing an Orenco Systems high-rate inter­mittent sand filter into their septic system upgrade.

At present the Lakeside Gardens installation is the only one of its kind in Canada, although similar Orenco sand fil­tration systems have been installed in Oregon, Washington and B.C. during the past 25 years.

The process starts out like most with primary treatment in a septic tank. Filtered wastewater only is then pumped in controlled and monitored doses into the four-foot-deep sand filter, where con­taminants are organically broken down. At Lakeside Gardens the filter area measures 20 X 36 feet and is covered with gravel — landscaping could easily be incor­porated within the filter area.

Treated wastewater runs into a third tank where the final product is clear, odourless water suitable for irrigation — and that's exactly what the Tooles use it for.

Some 1,500 feet of subsurface dripline pipe snakes through the resor t ' s lush, terraced garden areas, keeping the mulched ground moist and feeding plants with nitrogen and phosphorus right at the roots with about one gallon per day oozing from each pipeline orifice.

This is one south-coast family that hasn't had to worry about what effect the 2001 water short­age would have on their gardens.

"We used to pump out huge amounts of water for irrigation," said Toole, "now we put it where we want it."

Because the irrigating waste­water technically contains bacte­ria, it is not used to water the lawns or any surface area where there could be human contact.

A phosphorus monitoring sta­tion is a feature of the installation, said Lee, which will evaluate whether or not phosphorus is moving towards the lake.

Phosphorus and nitrogen can also be removed from the water, although since it is being fed to plants at a slow rate to the root

level, Toole assumes none will seep into the groundwater.

"It's nothing new technologi­cally, but bureaucraticaily it is," he said.

Lee and Toole don't hesitate to give credit to CHR authorities who have been quite willing to look at advanced treatment sewage disposal alternatives. The Tooles were able to proceed in the end because their situation was deemed "a repair," which allows somewhat greater regulatory lati­tude.

In any event, Lee said, sand fil­tration systems wouldn't neces­sarily make sense for most prop­erties. "Every site is unique, so we have to look at individual site restraints," he said. Those can be anything from soil conditions to setbacks.

The resort's seasonal heavy use — a rise to about 1,500 gallons of household wastewater per day in summer from 200-300 in winter — was a major factor. "This sea­sonal issue was a major factor in the CHR approval for the installa­tion," said Lee.

The Tooles still have a small primary field for back-up and winter use.

Lee is glad the Orenco system worked so well at Lakeside Gardens and that Toole had unusual enthusiasm for the plan. Most property owners don't care to know what happens after they flush their toilet.

"Mark had the foresight and interest and natural intelligence to understand and implement this opportunity . . . He's been a great client to work with."

Toole also did some of the proj­ect work, which kept costs down. While the final bill was higher than a traditional installation — if that was even possible consider­ing inadequate lake and road set­backs — Toole anticipates the cost premium will be more than recouped by various means. Lakeside Gardens will require far less surface water for irrigation; a conventional installation would have required soil to be trucked in; and the Orenco system is extremely low maintenance — cleaning the screen with a garden hose is about the most onerous task.

Because it takes up less room, more property is freed up, which has an anticipated future value.

Then there are the intangibles, such as the health of St. Mary Lake water and the Tooles' beam­ing gardens.

Lee, assisted by Aqion's techni­cal executive assistant Joanne Roach, is doing about a dozen similar projects on Salt Spring, in the Okanagan, and on the Sunshine Coast and even com­pleted one on Savary Island using solar panels for the site's power supply.

Lee has 30 years of private sec­tor consulting experience, and has been involved in developing advanced wastewater treatment technologies since 1996.

In Stinson Beach in Northern California, more than 100 Orenco intermittent sand filters are in use today after that community, locat­ed in a sensitive foreshore envi­ronment, found it solved water pollution caused by traditional septic systems.

Until more B.C. health regula­tors get on board, Lee hopes fur­ther Aqion-Toole-CHR types of project partnerships might at least unfold one property at a time.

Food fair celebrates 'awesome' bounty

By MITCHELL SHERRIN Driftwood Staff

The Real Food Faire last Sunday celebrated the bounty of farmers and fresh foods found on Salt Spring.

" I t ' s pretty awesome what nature has for us," said keynote speaker Dan Jason.

As an opening to the event, Jason gave a brief personal history of his involvement with communi­ty gardens, seed businesses, farm­ing politics and organic growing methods.

He recollected his beginnings as a home gardener who then moved on to take over the gardens al the Salt Spring Centre.

"I was a karma yogi, which meant I wasn't getting paid, but I was doing what I love to do; get­ting in touch with plants and nature."

He described his time at Mansell Farm where he grew a host of beans, garlic and legumes along with many other "real foods" and began his Salt Spring Seeds business.

"I had never thought I could grow grains on a level to feed a lot of people."

Last year he moved his garden-work back to the centre.

"I've been lucky to grow on siz­able acreages without owning the land," he said.

He noted that he is continually amazed by the "vast harvests" that can be grown out of small acreages. He also said that B.C. is bucking the trend of moving toward fewer larger farms.

"We have lots of small farms creating lots of value-added food, especially on Salt Spring," said Jason.

"Thanks to Harry Burton we're getting to be known as the organic capital of Canada."

Jason cautioned his audience about the "genetic pollution" cre­ated by trans-national seed pro­ducers.

"I hereby declare by the powers vested in me, mostly by myself, that we are a GMO-free zone in terms of food growing."

Jason also paid homage to The Growing Circle Food Co-opera­

tive. "I thought there was no way

local producers could provide enough quantity, quality and diver­sity to keep a store operating. How wrong I was."

Jana Thomas, administrative co­ordinator of The Growing Circle, had one of several information tables set up at the faire.

She noted the eight-month-old organization now has 375 mem­bers that work together to support a consistent market for organic food farmers.

Other tables around the Fulford hall represented various farms, food producers and interest groups.

It was possible to sip organic Ometepe coffee while discussing winter gardens with George Laundry.

You could wander a mini-gallery of food and garden-related artworks by artists such as Ian Thomas, Shari Macdonald, Lynda Crawford, or Barb and Chris Arnett.

A Duck Creek farm table offered a selection of apples, car­rots, squash and other garden goodies for purchase.

There were samples of salmon candy and salmon pate at a booth set up by The Fishery's Arnie Hengstler.

Tasty soups and salads were available through the kitchen and there were plenty of treats avail­able, such as sweet slices of Benny's Big Lovin' Pies.

Four talking circles gathered to discuss local food issues at various times throughout the day.

Several tables also offered infor­mation about the politics of food choices.

Holistic lifestyle and wellness coach Anthony Faulkner manned a table to raise consciousness about the positive consequences of mov­ing to a plant-based diet.

Salt Spring for Safe Food aimed to inform consumers about geneti­cally modified foods.

The Island Natural Growers Association offered membership to their group of organic garden­ers.

Duf fy also prov ided musical entertainment for the event.

Mayne Island farmer Ron Pither of the Fann Folk/City Folk society gave a talk about local sustainable farming to round out the event.

"My politics have been shaped by the slow food movement," said Pither.

He compared the fast food movement of the past century to the machine model of the industri­al age and invited listeners to con­sider a higher gastronomic diet.

Pither reminded his audience that individuals have a huge impact on the economics and ethics of sustainable food produc­tion.

"We are critically affected by our daily eaiing habiLs on a global scale."

He also sought to protect the "working landscape" of local farms.

"As much as we work to protect watersheds and environmentally sensitive areas, we have to con­serve working farms," he said.

Along with the numerous infor­mation tables at the faire, Pither and Jason provided a rich basket of sustainable food for thought.

According to a Trust staff report, the property at 701 Mount Belcher Heights required a development permit with conditions attached in order to prevent groundwater degradation.

Construction and septic field installation must adhere to a stormwater drainage and attenuation plan prepared by engineer Wayne Lee of Aqion Water Technologies Ltd.

Also al Thursday's Trust meeting: • John Gauld, the new regional planning coordinator for Salt Spring,

was introduced at the meeting. He replaces Linda Adams, who is now manager of Trust area pro­

grams for the entire Islands Trust. She will work at her new position from the Salt Spring office.

Gauld, whose most recent planning post was in London, Ontario, said he is originally from Victoria.

Trust withholds support for Wilcox subdivision By GAIL SJUBERG Driftwood Staff

John Wilcox will be soldiering on without Islands Trust support in his long-fought attempt to sub­divide a 2.47-acre chunk of land from his Duck Creek Farm prop­erty on Tripp Road.

While Wilcox had presented letters of support from Brent Warner, a district agrologist with the provincial agriculture min­istry, and had majority support of the local Trust's agricultural advi­sory commit tee . Salt Spring trustees Bev Byron and David Borrowman presented long lists of reasons why they could not support Wilcox's application for subdivision.

Because the Wilcox property is in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), the subdivision applica­tion is made to the Land Reserve Commission (LRC) and trans­portation ministry but referred to the Local Trust Committee for input.

Among Byron 's "seven or eight" reasons for non-support were her belief in the underlying LRC policy of no subdivision in the ALR; that the 16.5-acre lot was already smaller than the 20-acre Al zoning average; and that she did not see how more farming would be done on a smaller acreage, which is a community plan requisite for supporting sub­divisions with the ALR.

Borrowman said Wilcox had been quite frank in staling that the subdivision was needed for eco­nomic reasons, even though Section 946 of the Local Government Act allows it for rela­tive use only. He said that because the relative in this case, Wilcox's mother Mary Basledo, "qualifies as a resident in an intermediate care facility, I don't believe she would become a resident of the property."

Both Borrowman and Byron were concerned about the prece­dent for subdividing farmland that could be set by supporting the proposal.

Wilcox said the trustees were "completely missing the point" by referring to his mother's ability to

Land commission request next step The Salt Spring Parks Arts and

Recreation Commission (PARC) gathered for a brief meeting Monday night after a summer recess.

PARC chairman Wayne Fraser offered sincere gratitude to interim administrator Cindy Petrowski "for doing a yeoman's job of keeping our parks running smoothly."

In PARC news: • Commissioner Bill Curlin

reported that PARC will be request­ing permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to build a recre­ation facility on its Rainbow Road after receiving support for the pro­posal from the Salt Spring Local Trust Committee last week.

Curtin said it is now time to work towards public hearings and site planning.

• The Therapeutic Riding Club and the Salt Spring Pony Club were

both approved to use a trail at Moual Park for a ride-a-lhon scheduled for September 7.

Commissioners approved the request subject to clarification of specific plans for trail use.

• Commissioner Jamie Squier reported on meetings with the trail advisory group, which was created to look at various trails on the island. Its members will prepare a map of areas PARC may be inter­ested in acquiring for a "green-ways" plan later in September.

• Two video cameras will be added to the existing system at the Harbour Authority Building and heat sensor detectors will be installed al the Portlock Park washrooms.

The security systems will cost approximately $650-$700.

• Commissioners approved a

$5,000 update to the PARC tele­phone system.

The system will be able to pro­vide the public with information 24 hours a day.

• Arborist Ian Hayes of Golden Ash Tree Care was hired to remove dead and diseased trees at Mouat Park.

Squier pointed out the need for habitat trees in the park and inquired about the possibility of ecological uses for the fallen wood.

Commissioner Bryan Adderley indicated that the trees were in an actively used area.

"You just have to take those old trees out of there," Adderley said.

Capital Regional District direc­tor Kellie Booth noted that Hayes had left trees from a previous con­tract for animal habitats.

live on the property or not. "If we had subdivided it when

we were supposed to subdivide it she would have been living there," he said.

The area marked for subdivi­sion contains an existing mobile home.

Wilcox explained that when he bought the property in 1991 he was assured it could be subdivid­ed five years later subject to the Local Government Act and Trust committee bylaws governing sub­division to a relative.

It was later discovered that was not the case with ALR land.

Wilcox admitted his 85-ycar-old mother would not live on the new lot if approved, but said her interest would at least be regis­tered. Bastedo has invested some $40.(XX) in the farm, he said.

Another investor could then join Wilcox's organic farm opera­tion with some security of invest­

ment. "Someone else can come in and

buy the interest in existence," he said.

"In this province there is no way you can register an interest in a farm except through subdivi­sion."

Warner, from the agricultural ministry, has given written sup­port for the Wilcox plan on three separate occasions.

"We are at a loss to understand why you have had no resolution to his situation," Warner wrote to Wilcox last year, "as we fully understand the financial ramifica­tions this has on your life and the personal stress it is causing your family."

But Wilcox said he was not sur­prised by the trustees' decision against his application.

"They're really consistent," he said. "They consistently ignore the farm community's input."

Trust gives support to using farm land for rec centre The doors of possibility for an

indoor recreation centre in Ganges cracked open a little more Thursday when the Local Trust Committee gave support to allowing non-farm use on three parcels of property in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

The Salt Spring Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission (PARC), owns a 3.16-hectare property next to Gulf Islands Secondary that has been tagged for an indoor recre­ation facility, plus two smaller ALR parcels. PARC has made an appli­cation to the Land Reserve Commission (LRC) requesting per­

mission to use the lands for non-farm purposes — but not to remove them from the ALR. The LRC process requires Trust input.

Trustees David Borrowman and Bev Byron noted the proposal con­formed to official community plan policies which had received consid­erable public input.

Besides the Rainbow Road par­cel which was the subject of a ref­erendum last fall, two smaller lots, at 210 and 220 Kanaka Road, also received trustee support for non-farm use. All are envisioned as part of an overall recreational-use sce­nario.

Last year voters approved a plan to borrow money to pay off the land's mortgage. Any rec centre proposal would also require voter approval in a future referendum.

Bill Curtin, who chairs PARC's park planning committee, was glad the item was approved at Thursday's Trust meeting, even if it did not take place as soon as he had hoped.

Curtin said PARC is fielding numerous inquiries from people interested in seeing the next stage of land development unfold.

The properties will also need rezoning by the Local Trust

Committee for recreation use, and that will require a public hearing.

Curtin said the 210 Kanaka Road parcel even has multi-family densi­ties that PARC could possibly use in future on a different property.

He also explained that PARC decided to not pursue removing the land from the ALR in case a future Salt Spring council or commission decided to "play land-developer-speculator" with the properties. "By keeping the lands in the ALR

we always have a safety valve of that off-island province-wide body."

Curtin said PARC members are eager to get their task force work­ing on recreational site planning so they can give the public as much information as possible during the rezoning process.

He estimated it would take two or three years of "talking and plan­ning" before a referendum on facil­ity construction could be held.

E A A D A ! Talks arc back on From Page 1

between Texada and the govern­ment position was $5.5 million.

"We'll keep in communication with the vendor and make sure they understand the basis on which we believe they've been offered fair market value."

Also on Monday, Macdonald said negotiations had gotten snagged over the parcel containing the liquid waste disposal site which the CRD leases from Texada. He said that operation affects four dif­ferent titles, not just the one the CRD was interested in buying.

"I find it very odd to have an agreement-in-principle on the park land and then have some other extraneous issue derail it."

Regional director Kellie Booth was adamant the CRD should not be blamed for the breakdown.

"If you ask any of the partner groups involved in the negotiations they would not single out anyone . . .

I think there have been numerous problems that led to the breakdown (of talks)."

She added that "the outline of the detail included in the ad (in this week's Driftwood) is pretty clear as to how things have gone and the concerns of all the different partner groups."

Booth, Rushton and Bill Turner of The Land Conservancy all stated that negotiating partners were unit­ed.

"The partnership has been really united and strong and feels that we've been trying to deal in good faith and we would certainly expect and hope there is good faith bargaining on the part of Texada," said Rushton.

Another change Macdonald mentioned Tuesday could also help clear the hurdles. As a result of the latest discussions, he said, negotia­tions will be separated into three

areas of interest: the Burgoyne Bay park lands, the timber catchment area near Maxwell Lake and the liquid waste disposal site leased by the CRD.

He said the negotiation process has been frustrating for everyone involved. "There are many people involved, many interests involved and it's political."

Macdonald was sympathetic to the government's position. "I did not really appreciate how difficult it is for the government to pull all the various things together."

Negotiations have been under way for several months to purchase various Texada lands and protect them from logging and develop­ment. The provincial government has allocated $20 million for land purchases on Salt Spring, Galiano and Valdes islands. Local fundrais-ing has created additional sources of funds for Salt Spring purchases.

Times of wonder These are wondrous times in British Columbia. Never mind the

almost daily flurry of news releases issuing from Victoria. The computer message "You've got mail" greets reporters at every turn, heralding the arrival of yet another news release proclaiming Liberal government accomplishments.

Not every one will agree that they are great accomplishments, but no one can be critical of the new government for dragging its feet. The much-touted 90 days is nearly up and the Gordon Campbell administration appears on track for completing the tasks set out dur­ing the election campaign.

But the wonder of it all stems from more than just a government living up to its promises.

On Monday of this week there were two provincial cabinet minis­ters interested in speaking with a reporter. This is news. This repre­sents a significant departure from the standards set over the past cou­ple of decades, when cabinet ministers could only be approached at election time or in a media scrum in the legislature hallways.

One of those cabinet ministers actually telephoned a reporter. The other source of wonder was a news release from the B.C.

Government and Service Employees' Union that commended the government for a piece of legislation. The union wished to express its pleasure with creation of a merit commissioner to ensure that gov­ernment appointments are made on the basis of merit. This, too, is a departure from the norm and a welcome one indeed.

We hope the new openness and the spirit of cooperation evident in these two developments continues. British Columbia will be better for it.

A worthy role model New statistics indicate that volunteerism is down in Canada.

Fewer people, we are told, are offering their time in the service of others. The information is worrying, but we can take heart from a local story that indicates the spirit of volunteerism is a long way from being dead.

Seventeen-year-old Stuart Sinclair has spent time this summer teaching golf to disabled teenagers. He took time off work once a week to accompany the teens to Blackburn Meadows Golf Club.

The story is timely and reassuring. Sinclair ought to be a role model for us all.

Anthem, stamps next requirements for sovereign state By TOM VARZELIOTIS

For the first time, please note, I will venture into island politics and for good reason.

You see, wc Salt Springers are now fast approaching a most sig­nificant plateau in our ascent to islandhood, what with the island flag about to be unfurled in the breeze and the new Salt Spring Island Monetary Fund bills already on the way to our wal­lets.

These are vibrant times and I can't be passive, I can' t stand idly by and remain a mere spec­tator like I did during the "great Ganges sewer debate." 1 have to partake in our march to island-hood. I want to do my bit, I want to be an "Is land Bui lder" or whatever history may call the protagonist of Salt Springhood.

I missed the opportunity to do the winning design of the island flag. That is because I left it to

VIEW POINT

the last moment and when I went for it I got flag-designer's block. Staring for hours on end at a blank canvas can seriously affect one's thinking.

At one point I considered drawing an all-white flag. I did­n't send it in because I feared it could be mistaken as denoting surrender rather than the purity of our soul that it was meant to herald.

The flag design deadl ine missed, I had to turn my mind to other things. After all, a flag alone does not an island make. Then, what can I cont r ibu te , what can I do to get me that cov­eted spot in the picture of the Fathers of the Island (the

Mothers of the Island will have their own picture taken and post­ed, maybe in the nude, so surely they would not want to pose with the puritanical Fathers.)

Another suggestion is for an Isle of Salt Spring anthem. We do need one and we need it urgently for if we do not have one, what is the island band to play when we raise the flag at the fall fair? Remember, a silent band is a sad sight.

Then, once we raise the flag we must have a parade . Of course, everybody loves a parade and we should have one. Who is to parade? Anyone who wants to parade, but it is the Slingshot Brigade of the Salt Spring Forces that must lead the parade. Chins in and chests out, marching in the formidable sheep-step. The fairgrounds will be like a micro­cosm of Red Square on May Day in Stalin's heyday. We need to do

it so that the world will take us ser iously, as we bloody well deserve.

This leads us, again, to the philharmonic sector of our com­munity, with the request for an obstreperous "march."

You see, to have a good parade you need rousing, vibrant music, coming out of the business ends of tubas, bagpipes and other ori­fices, not necessarily simultane­ously, of course. We need, there­fore, something as powerful as Colonel Bogey to thaw our lethargy, to set our feet to march­ing. I hear it in my ears already; this march has lots of drumming to it, it needs to, to compensate for the lack of boot thumping — for the gumboots of the Salt Spring Slingshot Forces march­ing on the fairground grass do not thump anywhere like the leather boots of the Red Army pounding the cobblestones of

Red Square. My final dream for the time

being is for an isle of Salt Spring postage stamp; one that would become the proud possession of phi la te l i s t s wor ld-wide that would see the money pouring into the island economy through the wonderful Waterfront Gallery which, as it happens, is strategi­cally located to take on Canada Post.

Let me confess that the stamp proposal is a tad selfish, for it would give me another kick at the can, a new chance to do the winning drawing. Such a win, although not as glamorous as bagging the flag prize, would become my wide reputation as the vis ionary painter of the empty canvas.

The writer describes himself as a local malcontent forever dreaming of marching in step with the rest.

On advertising pies, national newspapers and real food There appeared in this column

on August 8 the suggestion that a compet ing publ ica t ion, The Barnacle , exists today only through the support of wealthy benefactors. Allow me to clarify: the suggestion was not meant to imply that the Barnacle is finan­cially unsound. The message intended was that there is simply not a big enough advertising pie to suppor t two newspapers . I offer a sincere apology to The Barnacle for any misunderstand­ing that might have been created by that column.

« You can say what you like about

Conrad Black (and no doubt you will), but you cannot deny that he knows newspapers. And that's why it's appropriate for newspaper read­

ers to take a moment to mourn Black's sale last week of his remain­ing holdings in the National Post.

There was con- ' siderable doubt in the newspaper industry and outside it that a second national newspaper could survive in a market the size of Canada. The doubters were probably right. It is a small market, and just how small is seen in the fact that both the Post and the Globe and Mail are losing money.

But Black set out to launch a newspaper that not only reflected his conservative leanings but one that offered the reading public more than just the Pablum (as he calls it) to which we had become

TONY RICHARDS

accustomed. He succeeded. The Post has provided leadership

at a national level with stories that were important to Canadians and opinions that provoked and chal­lenged. It has been a joy to read.

It has also had a positive effect (as competition will do in any busi­ness) on the Globe. As a result I've spent many a pleasant Sunday morning with a stack of newsprint and a pot of coffee.

The Post will now pass into the hands of the Aspcr family's

CanWest Global, which has declared its intention to stop the financial losses. It is unlikely they can do that simply by cutting hack on the distribution of sample copies, as they have indicated they will. They may have to make some radical changes to the newspaper's operations, as some observers have forecast they might.

But whatever happens it seems very likely that the Post as readers have come to know it will not remain the same.

• The best part of Dan Jason's talk

at the Real Food Faire on Sunday was his declaration that Salt Spring be free of genetically-modified foods. The island is in the unenvi­able position of being unable to declare itself as much of anything

due its unorganized status. So someone's gotta do it and who bet­ter than Dan?

Sunday's event was a good opportunity to celebrate local agri­culture. The fall fair also serves that purpose, but the food fair had a narrower, uncluttered focus on the local agricultural producers that are slowly changing the nature of the island economy.

The products for which Salt Spring is famous include an array of goods. It used to be fine art and line crafts and lamb, hut the list has grown to include a much wider range of food products.

That growth is justification enough for an annual event such as the food fair to allow the celebra­tion of local food and its produc­ers.

Letters to the Editor Nothing like "being there"

I was delighted to see that Ron Max's The Way We Wuz will be returning to ArtSpring on September 6 through 9.

Unfamiliar with this play­wright's work, I was present at the first showing in July and, ever since, have been describing this unique series of four plays in superlatives to all my friends and acquaintances who "meant to go" and never made it.

At ArtSpring, I was immediately hooked by Carel Souchereau's opening tongue-in-cheek mono­logue making game of the accept­ed conventions of the theatre and setting the tone and high level of performance for all that followed.

Look at it This Way, where three couples in three different relation­ships deftly handled the same script, was an approach I'd never before seen attempted by a play­wright and goes to prove that all relationships are the same regard­less of gender.

In A Coming of Age, I was torn

between resentment against the convincingly sleazy Charles, played by Eric Booth, and com­passion for his long-suffering girl­friend, Alice, played by Lottie Fast. I was unprepared for, and delighted with, the play's dynamic ending.

For me, this close personal involvement with the action con­tinued through the final play, Cocktails for Two, a beautifully crafted piece of work featuring Ron Max, Nancy France and Varek Boettcher. I was completely capti­vated by their performance; I lost the surrounds of the theatre and was actually seated in the bar watching the interplay between two strangers, played by Max and France, during which, against all odds, their new relationship emerges.

From beginning to end, I was forcibly struck by the level of writ­ing, direction and acting and to those islanders I've managed to buttonhole since July, I have this to say: If I held your attention with my amateur, second-hand run-through of The Way We Wuz, for

goodness' sake go and see the real thing enacted by the talented mem­bers of The Actor's Workshop. I've learnt thai this dedicated group spent 10 full weeks of serious practice in order to present an excellent and polished perform­ance — and it shows. I'm going for a second helping. There's noth­ing like being there. FLORENCE COOK REID, Valhalla Road

Touch of magic Thank you to two of Salt

ing into town for a dinner out last Saturday night we had no idea what a great evening we would end up having.

After a fabulous dinner on the patio at Talons overlooking our beautiful harbour we decided to take in the entertainment in the park.

Under the stars on blankets and in chairs sat 200-plus locals and tourists enjoying The Wizard of Oz on the big screen.

It was a great way to spend an

Public supportive

Nurses would like to thank British Columbians for their sup­port during our recent bargaining dispute. We appreciate all your encouragement — your signatures on our petition, your helpful let­ters, your phone calls, your honks, your friendly waves.

You shared our concern that British Columbians must continue to attract and retain enough nurses to provide the health services patients need and deserve in this time of current critical nursing shortages.

You understood that our health care system can no longer rely on nurses working excessive amounts of overtime.

Unfortunately, the provincial government decided not to listen. As you know, rather than negotiate a sett lement, the government imposed the final contract, includ­ing concessions, through legisla­tion — this despite real efforts by nurses to narrow the gap through negotiations.

Contrary to what you may have heard, the fact is that senior front­line nurses in B.C. are now earning $3.08 less than nurses in Alberta, and it now takes three years longer to qualify for the top wage. Starting nurses will earn $22.95 this year, and will need nine years to reach the lop rate. Through leg­islation some of the rights in our existing contract were actually stripped away.

Be that as it may, nurses make this pledge to British Columbians. Despite current difficulties, we will continue to work with you to improve the health care system and hold the government account­able for its health care promises. DEBRA MCPHERSON, President, B.C. Nurses' Union

Reporter earns new perspective, now does polkas By GAIL SJUBERG

My 39th birthday came and went last week.

Since I still fall into the lower end of Salt Spring's getting-greyer-by-the-day population, no sympathy is expected.

I don't even want any. Like . most people over a certain age. I 'm convinced I 'm gelling smarter as the wrinkles dig ever-deeper trenches around my omniscient eyes, and that 's a thrill in itself.

Yet only a few days into my 40th year, I was face-to-face with the wanion slaughter of youthful idealism.

It happened in a junk-filled garage on Hornby Island, cour­tesy of a "phenomenon" called The Rockin' Stinkbugs.

A bit of history is in order. In my youth I was a serious

accordion player, and that's not an oxymoron. As Canadian nee-bass accordion champion of 1980, and seventh-place world competition finisher, I performed Bach, Haydn and bizarre, chal­lenging, contemporary works written especially for the instru­ment, some of which did not sound like cats lighting in an alley.

Yet inevitably and with annoy­ing frequency, one mention of

IN DEPTH

accordion playing prompted peo­ple to say something like: "So you must play one mean polka, eh? Ha ha ha."

After about the hundredth polka jibe. I wished my specialty had instead been an obscure mar­tial art known for maiming oppo­nents' speaking apparatus.

My response was always a dead-pan "I don't do polkas," each word emphasized with steaming disdain.

For one reason or another, the intended music career got side­tracked — the financial prospects of professional accordionism weren't wildly tempting at the time — although I still played at home for myself periodically. (I even rescued a desperate Paul Brosseau by playing bits for a certain TV episode soundtrack a couple of years back.)

Then one day a few monihs ago a mysterious e-mail message came to the Driftwood office. "Are you the Gail Sjuberg who went to G.P. Vanier high school

in Courtenay? If so, I have a question for you."

It turned out that this fellow, named Dave Western, plays in a band called The Rockin ' Stinkbugs which meets almost every summer on Hornby. This year they planned to record a CD to benefit an arts and youth-ori­ented trust fund in the name of their late friend Bruce Fairburn, a music producer of some note with Hornby connections.

Western said he had written one song which just "cried out" for the "mournful" sound of the accordion and he wondered if I would record it with the band.

Remarkably, he had found me through the Internet, but not through conscious means. Over the phone one day he told a friend about this song, called City of Gold, and how he desper­ately needed an accordion player for it. The friend, also from our-era Courtenay, said, "Why don't you call up Gail Sjuberg?" Western did recall my notoriety with the instrument but wondered how on earth he would find me after 20 years.

Following that conversation, he abandoned accordion-related thoughts and decided to connect to tfuTNcl to look up a certain Randy Bachman song. While

perusing the site, he saw an arti­cle about a Bachman/Bill Henderson concert and dance at the Salt Spring Activity Centre written by none other than the accordion player he was seeking. At the bottom was the Gulf Islands Online "e-mail the writer" lag. Serendipitous or what?

By the time the Hornby recording date arrived, one song had turned into three and my nervousness resembled the kind I once felt performing on stage before hundreds or a panel of fierce, note-scratching adjudica­tors.

I found the garage easily enough and was proudly shown the sound booth that looked like the kind of forts kids make after raiding the family linen closet and piling sofa cushions and ran­dom bits of boards and furniture on top of each other. But it worked.

After knocking off the gor­geous, tear-jerking original song that got this whole thing started, and for which 1 had been able to prepare with the benefit of a tape sent in advance, they played me "the polka."

This wasn't your wholesome Beer Barrel or She's Too Fat For Me jolly-as- you-please kind of

polka. This was a shocking, raunchy ditty called The Cheesey Polka, based on a certain rude joke that has been circulating this summer.

So there it was. A lifetime of no-polka principles writhing on the chopping block, waiting for my decision.

I could stand up and declare, "I don't do polkas!" or I could slap on those headphones and sum­mon the oompa-oompa instinct that must lie dormant in even the most snobby of squeezebox play­ers.

There 's no question about what I did.

I sold out. Sent a life's worth of prejudices packing and played along, if somewhat awkwardly at first, with what may be the cheesiest polka ever written.

1 must have been blinded by the inevitable fame that will accompany this project — and I didn't want to run screaming from the garage before having a go at the ska tune up next — but, hey, you know, I learned there's nothing wrong with entering the second half of your life with a fresh perspective and one less brick in my wall of inhibition.

I do polkas! The writer is a Driftwood edi­

AIDS Walk raises $8,000

The second annual southern Gulf Islands AIDS Walk was a mixture of inspiring words, a little sweat and heaps of fun Sunday, while raising more than $8,000.

"I feel great," said Liz Forrest, an organizing committee member, Tuesday. "It was a huge success on lots of levels."

Eighty people took the three-kilometre walk which raises funds for the medical and related expens­es of Gulf Islands residents who have AIDS or are HIV-positive.

Pat Hafling brought in the most money at $720, with Leanne Van Schetsen snagging second place with $387.

Young Cole Sayer impressed organizers by deciding the previ­ous evening to do the walk and raising $114 in pledge funds.

The Centennial Park crowd was touched by speakers MP Svend Robinson, Beth Thomas, from the Pelophepha Community Centre project in South Africa, and Ron Fremont, a young Vancouver man who is HIV-positive and a YouthCo speaker.

YouthCo is a Vancouver-based public education group whose employees and 100 volunteers are between the ages of 15 and 29. Its members make presentations in schools and other public venues.

Fremont read a moving story from his journal which recounted the day he learned he was HIV-positive.

Salt Spring 's own "Carmen Miranda," also known as Claude Gamache, titillated the crowd with his saucy dancing in a flaming orange dress, high heels and plas­tic fruit-bowl headgear.

Susheela Dawne handled MC duties.

Headline musical act was Erica Luckett from San Francisco. The world fusion, jazz and funk singer-songwriter said she was "over­whelmed by the beauty of your community . . . a community

Roasting Co. clears the air with some adjustments to afterburner

The air around the Ganges ambulance station appears to be clearing.

Mickey McLeod of Salt Spring Roasting Co. said problems with an afterburner installed at the roasting facility on Alders Avenue in January have been addressed after a technician 's visit on August 16.

A few adjustments were made and the company was given belter instructions on the equipment's operation so future problems can be addressed.

"The long and the short of it is that we do have it functioning," he said. McLeod also said he had talked to a Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection official about six or eight limes, as well as people from the ambulance sta­tion.

Pressure was put on McLeod to do something about the afterburn­er when ambulance station employees complained about smoke from the adjacent business.

Bob Pearce, communications manager for B.C. Ambulance, reported that "The ambulance service is aware of the coffee company's efforts to decrease emissions, and we are continuing

to document occasions when the smoke is particularly heavy.

"Otherwise it is business as usual at the ambulance service

and we have heard nothing at this point regarding the investigation by the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection."

Weekly 'coffee rag' folds

Salt Spring Thyme has come to an end.

The humourous weekly printed its last edition on August 21 after three years of publication. The Thyme had a circulation of 1,000.

Thyme was written, edited and published by Shilo Zylbergold and Jim Black.

The two wrote reminiscent reflections of their 156-week long voyage into the depths of local blarney for the final edition.

Black and Zylbergold both commented on the joys of produc-ing the small "coffee rag" and reminisced over moments of may­hem within the production.

Over their three-year run the two made a point of delivering copies to the waiting room of every doctor, dentist, chiropractor, physiotherapist, massage therapist and veterinarian on the island.

"We felt that laughter is among the best medicines on the planet, and so we brought laughter to the places that needed it most," wrote Zylbergold.

They both poked fun at them­selves in the final issue (to remain true to form) and toyed with delu­sions of grandeur in regards to designs for a Salt Spring Thyme movie, the mythical Thyme Towers complex in Vesuvius and franchise rights for Jim and Shilo action figures.

Conversely they estimated their reading public at only 40 souls and belittled their intense rivalry with the other island publications.

Curiously, the final paper con­tinued to call for advertisements with special rates.

When called to comment on the demise of the island icon, publish­ing tycoon Black said that Zylbergold was away on vacation and he didn't want to say anything without him.

Young volunteers are praised for their work

Visiting and local youngsters who offered their time and labour to the Salt Spring community have earned praise from a Ganges man.

Julian Elwes reports that visitors from the Tsawwassen Baptist Church spent Friday cleaning up duckweed and excess bulrushes from an orna­mental pond at the Cottonwood Close townhouse development.

They were among members of a Christian youth work party, which included some local youngsters, who spent a week donating their time for projects on Salt Spring.

"These youngsters were a credit to their church and organization," Elwes said. "They worked hard and produced outstanding results."

He said their efforts served as a reminder "of how many good guys are out there

You are encouraged to come and talk over issues, ask questions and make sugges t ions — please bring your ideas and participate in this new opportunity to get involved in the work we are doing on your behalf."

Town hall sessions are a regu­lar part of Salt Spring's Local Trust Committee monthly public meetings.

Former teacher takes storytime tales to create kids' book By GAIL SJUBERG D r i f t w o o d Staff

Those not lucky enough to be either Gloria Dorworth's grand­children or one of her primary-aged students in 38 years of teach­ing can at least get a sense of the Salt Spring woman through her first published children's book.

A charming "bedtime" story for all ages, or a 54-page read-alone for ages six to 10, Crocket Dile and Baby Tiger's Bubble Trouble is an entertaining romp through a day in the life of a young crocodile and tiger, both mischievous in their own ways.

We're introduced to Baby Tiger as he's insisting his parents get out of bed at 6 a.m. to make him pan­cakes for breakfast.

Crocket Dile first grabs our attention when he throws blocks at Baby Tiger in a doctors' waiting-room dispute.

The two families' lives become further entwined when Crocket Dile breaks into the Tigers' home, Goldilocks-style, and wreaks havoc with the middle-class fami­ly's possessions. In this case the Jacuzzi and bubble bath make a particularly formidable combina­tion.

Kids find the story absolutely side-splitting, as characters trip and tumble and bonk their heads — and one little crocodile even slips into the toilet, that most gig­gle-inducing of household fixtures.

But the story is not all merri­ment and mayhem. Dorworth has subtly injected current social issues into the hilarious scenario. She raises the difficulties experi­enced by immigrant families, or by older children with younger sib­lings dominating their mother's attention, and ponders the best remedial methods for misbehaving alligators or spoiled little tigers.

As a teacher, Dorworth gained keen insight into the emotional lives of young children, especially from working with them in small groups in the learning assistance and English as a Second Language realms.

She also found that extremely bright children often found them­selves in trouble or had language-learning problems.

In Dorworth's tale, Crocket Dile appears headed for a youth deten­tion centre after his delinquent episode at the Tigers' home, but a kindly police officer takes him under his wing instead. "The idea is to create a sense of trust," says the author.

We find out about Crocket Dile's troubles at that point, and then witness the igniting of true friendship between him and Baby Tiger.

It's obvious through Dorworth's characters that she knows kids from head to toe, as well as the demands of modern parenting. The story's inclusion of a trip to the fast-food mecca called Crater's,

which tempts kids with its Lava Lizard's Lair and Lava Loot toys, will have parents shivering with queasy memories.

Storytime was always the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow in Dorworth's classes, and she tried to include her children's ideas in creating rich narrative worlds.

The same goes for grandchil­dren Chelsea and Alexandra, with whom the Crocket Dile and Baby Tiger story first germinated. They jointly decided to have Crocket Dile cause his devastation in the bathroom, for example.

"It sort of grew every night," recalls Dorworth. "As time went on they said, "Why don't you write it down for us?'"

So she borrowed the Goldilocks concept, and also followed fairy­tale form by using layered mean­ings.

Dorworth also asked herself, "What if you went to the situation before the story began, and re­arranged it a little bit?"

So the bears grew stripes and became tigers, Goldilocks turned into a crocodile, and readers got some background information and better follow-through than simply having the naughty character run away screaming. (Dorworth learned from teaching that alliga­tors and crocodiles are a big hit with kids.)

A lifetime with children's litera­ture also taught Dorworth that par­ents must enjoy the books they read to their kids, so she kept the adult entertainment factor in mind when she wrote her first book.

She credits her parents for ignit­ing her literary passion, noting that while they were not educated, her mother had a flair for words and her father still loves finding the perfect, often uncommon, word for almost every circumstance.

A young Dorworth was a prolif­ic writer, and many years later her pupils would follow suit. Her col­leagues would implore her to reveal how she managed to get her students writing so much in grades 1-3. Crucial to the scheme, she reflects, "is creating an atmosphere of excitement so they can't wail to

write." Rather than endure the highs

and lows of trying to find a pub­lisher for her manuscript, Dorworth opted to try Trafford Publishing, where the book is pro­duced "on-demand" by that com­pany, and some marketing services arc offered, including a website at www.trafford.com.

Dorworth also dove into the illustration side of things with Crocket Dile and Baby Tiger's Bubble Trouble, and credits her art teacher Val Konig for helping ensure she could fulfill the visual parts of the project as well. The illustrations often highlight some of the story's funnier moments.

Dorworth was born in London in 1935, and moved to Alberta in 1958, where she was a rural and urban schoolteacher. She then relo­cated to Victoria and taught there for 20 years before moving to Salt Spring with her husband Charles four years ago.

With warmth and a wry sense of humour spilling into much of her conversation, it wouldn't be possi­ble to forget Dorworth once you've met her. Given half a chance she might even be a tiny bit mischievous tike her young pro­tagonists.

And where does she get so much energy to pursue a writing career, among other hobbies, after a full teaching career?

"I think the truth of it is that I've never grown up," she confesses.

Crocket Dile and Baby Tiger's Bubble Trouble is for sale in local bookstores, whose owners have been very supportive, through the Trafford Publishing website and from the Anglican Diocese in Victoria.

First target met; funds now go to timber purchase By M I T C H E L L SHERRIN Driftwood Staff

The Watershed Protection Benefit dance featuring the Scottish band Shooglenifty raised a great deal more than clogs and decibels at the Farmers Institute last Wednesday evening.

The Salt Spring Island Conservancy (SSIC) and the Salt Spring Water Preservation Society (SSIWPS) sponsored the dance to raise money to purchase the sec­ondary watershed at Maxwell Lake.

The two organizations had each aimed to raise $1(X),(XX) by August 22 toward purchasing the 1 10-hectare (270-acre) Rippon Creek properly adjacent to the primary watershed protected in an earlier

purchase. While the conservancy had

already met its goal in July, the SSI­WPS stood just a few thousand dol­lars short of its target and the groups joined forces to stage the fundraiser.

"The benefit concert was a tremendous success; we saw a big cross-section of the community and a lot of youth represented at the event," said SSIWPS director Tom Gossett.

"Walking around and listening to people talking, you could hear that everyone there was concerned about the watershed."

SSIC executive director Karen Hudson said the event raised $7,719.69 between admission, con­

cession sales and silent auction bids.

In addition to the money raised directly by the fundraiser there were a few other spin-off benefits.

Andrea Collins and Harry Warner pledged an additional $25,000 on behalf of the Save Salt Spring Society towards the watershed pur­chase at the event, and Warner urged wealthy islanders to con­tribute the larger sums needed to save the trees from being logged on the land.

The band even donated $300 from their fee back to the cause.

"They probably lost money play­ing here," said Hudson.

Hudson noted that the SSIWPS had unexpectedly raised additional

Visitor info centre scores 92%

The Salt Spring Visitor Information Centre earned a 92 per cent score on its latest assess­ment by Tourism BC.

The assessor's report described the Ganges centre as "very wel­coming" and said staff members were efficient in handling a large volume of visitors.

The volunteer travel counsellor was "enthusiastic, gracious and helpful."

The report's comments conclud­ed with: "Salt Spring Island seemed to be a thriving artistic community proud to make its tal­ents open to the public and the counsellor did a good job of pro­moting this."

funds in the weeks prior to the dance that brought its total up to the target required to purchase the $650,000 property.

She pointed out that the pur­chase price does not include stand­ing timber on the property valued at approximately $ 1.2 million.

All funds from the dance, including the Save Salt Spring Society pledge, will now go toward purchasing the timber on the prop­erty, said Hudson.

The fundraiser was so successful that the North Salt Spring Waterworks District (NSSWD) was able to add an additional $25,000 to the pot.

"We had anticipated $150,000-$175,000 from the conservancy and the water preservation society when in fact they contributed $200,000," said NSSWD chair Bob Brawn.

That meant that the NSSWD was able to re-allocate $25,000 toward preserving limber with funds that had been originally ear­marked for land purchases.

Coincidentally, negotiations between a provincial bargaining team and properly owner Texada Land Corporation over park and watershed purchases resumed the day after the concert.

Brawn fell that provincial nego­tiators have been greatly affected by the demonstration of local sup­port for watershed protection.

"They are very impressed by the community support, especially this last commitment," he said.

Brawn estimated that to date NSSWD ratepayers have con­

tributed $700,000; The Land Conservancy and Salt Spring Appeal have contributed $ 116,000; the SSIC and SSIWPS have con­tributed $234,000 and the Save Salt Spring Society has raised $125,000 toward preserving the Maxwell Lake watershed.

Texada principal Rob Macdonaid has also pledged $100,(XX) toward the land purchase and Manulife, the financial institu­tion that holds a second mortgage on Texada's Salt Spring and Home Lake properties, has pledged $150,000.

Promiscuous cowbirds about to migrate south By LINDA CANNON Driftwood Contributor

Many years ago atop Mount Maxwell I noticed a small dark bird I wasn't familiar with.

Its showy, metallic-green body contrasted oddly with its coffee-brown head, like the fashion designer for nature called in sick during tinal fabrication.

Later I realized it was a male brown-headed cowbird, and that its species exhibited behaviour as socially unacceptable as its attire.

Cowbirds are promiscuous. They don't pair-bond and they don't nest. They simply stake out someone else's nesi, wait for them to leave, leap in, dump in their own egg and then depart them­selves, usually returning later to destroy one, some or all of their foster parent's eggs.

This aberrant conduct makes them "obligate parasites," which means they can't carry on in this world without their "host." To a cowbird, a host is any bird that will hatch and raise their young for them, and in British Columbia, there are dozens of songbird species that will do just that.

Cowbirds picked up their name from the Old West, where they fraternized with bison of the Great Plains — and later, cows — devouring the insects that were stirred up around these animals. Cowbirds probably began their parasitic behaviour simply to sur­vive; they couldn ' t follow the movement of the great herds and raise their own young at the same

time. Cowbirds or buffalo birds as the

cowboys used to call them, haven't always been common in this area or throughout British Columbia. They have gradually drifted northward during the last century, apparently because there are more of the open areas they prefer due to urbanization, agri­culture and clear-cutting.

Naturally, there is some concern that the cowbird invasion will endanger the future of other song­bird species, and research shows this to be so for a couple of species thus far. For the rest, only time will tell.

If you're interested in seeing any of these rascals, move quickly, for in the Gulf Islands area the majority will migrate south by September, and many before that.

As much as we might frown over the cowbirds' wanton ways, I must admit to being drawn to their bubbly, liquid song, which I find beautiful.

OPEN LETTER TO THE RESIDENTS OF SALT SPRING ISLAND

August 27, 2001

Since last Spring, the province, the Capital Regional District, The Land Conservancy of BC, Save Salt Spring Society, the North Salt Spring Waterworks District, Islands Trust, and other community partners have worked hard to acquire from Texada Land Corporation important lands around Mount Maxwell, Burgoyne Bay, Mount Bruce and Mount Tuam on Salt Spring Island, and to acquire and preserve the land and timber in the watershed on Mount Maxwell.

For a number of months, the province has negotiated on behalf of the partners with Texada's Rob Macdonald to try to find a price and terms on which Texada would be pre­pared to sell these parcels so that they might be protected from logging and development. This partnership of community and government worked collaboratively and developed a workable, fair and supportable offer to put before Texada Land Corporation for its lands in these important areas of Salt Spring.

The negotiations have been difficult and complex. Texada has made four separate offers to the partners over the five months- each one at a higher price per parcel than the last. It has agreed to deal with the environmental clean up that it is legally obligated to do, only to withdraw from that promise at the last minute and attempt to lay that responsibility at the feet of the partners. It has demanded that the partners purchase land that they do not need or want, at prices above the partner's appraised values. And Mr. Macdonald has consistently dismissed the province's partners as not being "real" and suggested that the province drop them from the discussions despite their having raised over $2.5 million toward the purchase. As late as August 23rd, Mr. Macdonald wrote to the province suggesting that it "cut the CRD out of the deal". The province has been clear that the partners were all working in concert to protect these lands and dial it was speaking on behalf of all of the partners, and was not prepared to make side deals, as Texada was suggesting.

Texada has insisted that its values for the subject lands should be accepted and paid by the partners. But there have been at least five appraisals done over the past year, or so, and Texada's appraisal was the highest of them all by a significant amount. When Texada listed five other properties on Salt Spring that are not part of this deal, it had them valued by the same appraiser, but then listed them for half of that value. Even at that reduced price, these properties have not sold.

The partner's appraisals of the subject lands fell in the middle of the other appraisals. Yet, in order to make a deal with Texada so that these lands could be protected, the partners agreed to offer Texada a price that was an approximate average of their middle of the road appraised value and Texada's Cadillac appraisal. Texada's response was to require the partners to buy another parcel they did not need or want and to raise the price by a further $400,000 over the additional parcel's value. This latest response by Texada puts its offer at 2 million dollars more than the average of the two appraisals. At the same time. Texada attempted to withdraw from its commitment to environmental contamination clean-up, and other normal obligations of a vendor.

At one point, Texada offered to have its land expropriated. But experience shows that owners receive a substantial premium for their lands when they are expropriated, so the offer appeared to the partners to be just another way to increase the price, rather than a bona fide attempt to reach a fair agreement.

The partners have tried to find a solution to this complex negotiation, but it seems that every time the partners agree to a further demand of Texada, the company increases its demands. While the partners are acutely aware of the importance to Salt Spring islanders of acquiring these lands, it has come to a point where Texada's demands are simply unreasonable. The partners have reached the limit of what can reasonably and fairly be agreed to.

Therefore, given Texada's conduct during these negotiations, the partners have been forced to conclude that it is not possible to reach agreement with Texada at this time. We regret this has come to pass, given the importance of the lands and given the hard work and dedication of all of the partners throughout this difficult time.

If we are wrong and Texada wishes to re-open negotia­tions, the partners are ready, willing and able to come back to the table and find a workable, fair solution so that these important lands can be protected for all time.

Family Place has school supplies for needy families

The Family Place school sup­plies drive has seen "overwhelm­ing" response, but still has two kinds of needs before schools open next week.

Family Place coordinator Rags Flakstad said Tuesday that dona­tions have been substantially high­er than expected for high school and middle school-aged students, but because this is the first year of opening the program to that group, not enough applications

have been received from families needing supplies. Registration forms are available through Community Services (537-9971) or Family Place (537-9176).

At the same time, more elemen­tary school supplies are still needed for drop-off at either Pharmasave location or Thrifty Foods.

Donations by cheque will also be gratefully received.

Call Family Place for more information.

Longest banner stops here

The world's longest banner hit the wind in Ganges Harbour over the weekend, and part of it includes the artistic contributions of Salt Spring children.

Part of Corky 's Freedom Banner Project, the two-kilome­tre-long banner involved 15,000 children from 20 countries creat­ing paintings on sections of cloth which have since been sewn together. They lit up the mast, sails and sides of Thursday 's Child with colour as the 60-foot vessel moored at Ganges Marina.

The colourful banner scheme aims to raise awareness to help free Corky, an orca whale which has been at Sea World in San Diego in California for many years. It was caught in Pender Harbour on the Sunshine Coast.

David Howitt, who is involved with the OrcaLab research facility on Hanson Island in Broughton Strait, said Thursday's Child skip­per Michael Reppy offered to take the banner to San Diego where Corky is still in captivity.

Corky is one of only two sur­viving whales among several cap­tured from the Vancouver Island region in the 1960s and '70s.

Whether the banner has any effect remains to be seen.

"I t ' s really up to Anheuser-Busch, the beer company and owner of Sea World, if they see it in their interest to consider it," said Howitt. "Perhaps they will listen to 15,000 children."

Project representatives visited Salt Spring this spring following a positive response from local school staff wanting their students to participate.

He said members of Corky's family still live north of Texada Island.

Also on board Thursday's Child were Chie Sawamura from Japan and Nicolas Meidinger of France, both doing research with OrcaLab, which has been used as a base for studying the whales since 1970.

Howitt said the orca population in the waters of southwestern British Columbia and Washington State, known as J, K and L pods, has declined by 20 per cent in the past six years.

OrcaLab and the Corky banner project have a website at www.orcalab.org.

Solution for itch came with warning about harm to fish Forty years ago

• The director of the provincial government health unit for the area was asked for information by the Salt Spring Chamber of Commerce for information about swimmer's itch at St. Mary Lake. The director explained the itch came from larvae that develop in fresh-water snails. He suggested that a copper compound would destroy the snails, but might also have a detrimental effect on fish life.

Thirty-five years ago • Driftwood columnist Jean

Lock wood was forecasting a re­election win for Social Credit candidate John Tisdalle in the upcoming provincial election. While cri t ical of Tisdalle for being one to toe the party line, Lockwood admitted to having "a sneaky liking" for Tisdalle after catching him getting his teacup read at the Galiano Fiesta. But she also liked "Jimmie" Campbell for the work he had done on the school board and his active par­ticipation in community affairs.

Thirty years ago • Through efforts by a Hawaii

newspaper, the Honolulu Advertiser, Salt Spring's Paul

DOWN THE YEARS

Roland travelled to Hawaii with his nephew John and sister Sophie Tahouney of Victoria. The Rolands were descendants of early settlers from Hawaii.

• May Queen Brenda Simard and her pr incesses , Valerie Knowles and Debbie Woodley, travelled to Vancouver for the PNE.

• Advertised as "a very good buy" was a two-bedroom water­front home with 136 feet of sandy beachfront for $22,000.

• The Visitor Information Centre moved to new premises on Fulford-Ganges Road where the store Mod 'n Lavender had been located, next to Gulf Islands Propane Gas. Today it is approxi­mately where Ganges Stationery is located.

Twenty-five years ago • It was called the end of an era

when the 41-foot RCMP vessel Manyberries was transferred from Ganges to Vancouver. It was to be replaced temporarily by an 18-foot boat. Police said it was the end of an era for the Gulf Islands

• A television crew set up in St. George's Anglican Church to film the Sunday service for a program called Meeting Place. The reporter observed that everyone has a desire to be a performer, and so the orchestra played as it had never played, the congrega­tion and choir sang as they had never sung, and the children did­n't fidget. Only the organ dis­graced itself when it let out "a pathetic little bleat" during the Lord's Prayer.

man invited the youngster to get into his car while outside a day­care on Charlesworth Road. His seven-year-old sister saw what was happening and yelled a warn­ing that he not get in the car.

A Salt Spring minister has joined an international interfaith team that performs aid projects throughout the world.

Rev. Rohana Laing of the United Church has been invited to join the Susila Budhi Dharma Association (SUBUD). This international organization has wings that assist hospitals, schools, arts groups, charitable societies and businesses all over the world.

"I'm pleased to have an opportu-

Minister part of international group nity to serve in an international capacity," said Laing.

"I can fit it into my lifestyle with­out loo much difficulty by using a little of my time off."

She explained that the Canadian-based United Church doesn't pres­ent many international opportuni­ties.

"This organization gives me an

opportunity to work with people of other religions that are not neces­sarily Christian."

She explained that SUBUD is an acronym for a Sanskrit phrase and offered a rough translation.

"When people are in contact with a higher power they become people of character and can make the world a better place."

This interfaith organization rotates locations of its offices and leadership so that no one country has control, said Laing.

She is the only Canadian mem­ber to sit on a team that looks after running the international organiza­tion.

"Most of my strengths are in the area of spirituality and human rela­

tions; I'm not strong in finance," said Laing.

"I also have a familiarity with the arts," she said. Laing was an artist before she became a minister. "I recognize that artists often approach problems creatively."

"I also have a strong interest in charitable organizations."

She is going to a three-day con­ference in Baltimore, Maryland in the middle of September to plan the focus of work for the next year.

What's for lunch? W h e n it c o m e s to the

lunch your child takes to school, above all it must be

healthy. The nutrients found in a healthy meal will help keep his or her energy levels up and prevent fatigue from set­ting in during the afternoon.

The best time to plan lunches is when you do your weekly grocery shopping. The first step is to find out what you already have in your cupboards. At the store, stock up on fruit juice, fresh fruit and vegetables as well as dried fruit and crackers.

At home, you can save time by prepar­ing enough raw vegetables in advance to last the entire week. And when you bake, freeze cookies, muffins, etc., in individ­ual portions. That way your kids will be able to enjoy lunches that are both nutri­tious and delicious all week.

Research shows that a healthy, bal­

anced lunch improves performance at work and at school. In order to create a lunch for your child that provides all the necessary nutrients, select from fruit, vegetables, cereal products, meat, poul­try, fish, dairy products, eggs, beans, nuts and grains.

Once you have decided on the right balance, don't forget to add variety to your child's lunch. To avoid monotony, change the bread you use for sandwich­es, such as pita, Kaiser, bagel, pumper­nickel or whole grain breads. You can also alternate the fillings, such as cold cuts, cheese, egg, fish or veggie pate. You can also prepare salads for your child's lunchbox, such as bean, spinach or pasta salads. The possibilities are end­less.

Finally, children who have a variety of food tend to get more fibre in their diet and eat less fatty foods, sugar and salt.

IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME! Please remember to drive safely and

watch for students on the road.

Getting your child's room ready Back-to-school time is a great

oppor tuni ty to renovate chil­dren's bedrooms. Now that they

are at school, they will need new items. And since they are growing quickly, they might also need larger furniture. What's more, chil­dren's rooms need to be updated every now and again. After all, you want the room to say, "Do your homework!"

Whether it's computer equipment, a more powerful calculator, geometry tools, a note-board, art supplies or any other items neces­sary for their studies, it's important your chil­dren have what they need to succeed at school.

Nowadays, you can find adjustable furniture that will expand with the child. This type of

furniture make great long-term investments. In addition to a desk, a child's room should also have lots of practical storage space. A filing cabinet and bookshelf are also great for books, dictionaries and various books and documents that the computer has not yet made obsolete.

Soothing colours that create a calm atmos­phere are preferable to bright colours that tend to excite children.

The trend towards pastel colours will pro­vide a bit of sunshine for long winter study sessions. Why not let your children pick their own colours, designs and decorations for their own rooms? Provided that their choices fit within your budget and meet your approval, of course!

Teaching children school bus safety To get to the school bus stop, chil­

dren should always walk on the left side of the street, facing traffic.

At the bus stop, they should be taught to stay away from the street and wait until the bus has come to a complete stop, has its lights flashing and the door open before they approach it. On the bus, children should remain seated and quiet so that they won't distract the driver. They should never stick their arms or head out the window, bounce around on their seat, or block the

aisle with their book bag and lunchbox. Since most accidents occur when the bus

is stopped, children should wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before leaving their seat, exit the bus calmly in single file and hold on to the banister. They should move away from the bus quickly and cross at least 10 paces in front of the bus so that the driver can easily see them. They should look both ways for traffic, cross the street quickly without running and never walk behind the bus.

All children should know bicycle safety rules. Above all, they should always respect the rules of the road, and always remain alert when cycling. For example, they should never go down a one-way street in the wrong direction. In addition, even when the street is empty, a stop sign still requires a complete stop.

Children should also always bike in the same direction as traffic and stay to the far right of the street.

Helping your kids pass their exams 1/ QnT I''"" many kids, a new school

O year is synonymous with the stress caused by writing exams. Many

parents also worry about their child's academic performance. Fortunately, there are many things parents can do to help their children pre­pare both mentally and physically for the acad­emic challenges that lie ahead.

For example, getting a good night's sleep, eating well and getting a variety of activities each day all increase one's chances of doing well during exam time. If your child is con­vinced he will fail an exam, remind him of the power of thinking positively and having confi­dence in his ability to succeed. However, if you tend to agree with your child, take a look at what might need to be changed. Does he study regularly? Does he make all the necessary efforts required to succeed? Does he need spe­cial help? These questions should be answered.

Memorization is another invaluable skill when it comes to passing exams. In fact, there are certain important principles that all kids should know about memorization. For exam­ple, repetition is the most effective method for remembering things. Studying even when you already know the material is the best way to reduce your chance of forgetting it later on. Kids should also study for many short periods rather than one long session. And since people tend to remember the information they learned at the beginning and end of a study period, the order of the material studied should be changed for each study session.

Many kids wail until the last minute to study. This only ends up exhausting them right when they need all their strength! After all, the goal of exams is to let both the teacher and the par­ents know just what the child has learned and understood during the school year.

Start the day off right! We all know how impor-

' \ § S 5 § j | | ^ hint it is to eat a healthy ^^0P^ breakfast. After all, taking

the time to enjoy a quiet breakfast is a great way to start any day, even if it does cut into your sleeping time! Eating a healthy breakfast is especially important for chil­dren. Studies show that cliildren who eat break­fast have more energy, get more vitamins and minerals in their diet and are more attentive in school compared to children who skip this meal.

Did you know that children can get one-quar­ter of their daily energy and nutritional needs from a healthy breakfast? Cereal and milk, toast with cheese or peanut butter and a glass of juice or fresh fruit are common ingredients to a healthy breakfast.

Fortunately, most children love cereal. In fact, 46 per cent of all cereal is eaten by seven-year-olds!

Many manufacturers add vitamins and miner­als to their cereal to make up for any nutritional losses occurred during production. But that doesn't mean all cereals are the same. When choosing cereal, consider its sugar, fat and pro­tein levels. To be considered a good source of complex carbohydrates, cereal should have at least 10 mg of starch per serving. To be consid­ered a gcxxi source of fibre, cereal should have at least two grants of fibre per serving. In addi­tion, each serving should have about three grams of protein and no more than five grams of sugar.

Cereals are generally low in fat, with the exception of granola cereals, which despite their reputation have the highest fat content of all cereals. So before buying your children's cereal, take the time to read die nutritional information found on the box.

If the shoe fits It's back to school time and

that means stocking up on ^* school supplies and new school

clothes for the kids. But don't forget about new shoes! And as every parent knows, kids are just like adults; they have their own preferences when it comes to choosing styles and colours. But when it comes time to buy, don't just focus on the latest styles; make sure the shoe fits!

Pediatricians and chiropodists agree: children should wear properly fitting shoes from the time they first learn to walk. This means staying

away from shoes that don't fit well, hand-me-down shoes from older siblings and shoes of poor quality.

Shoes should always fit properly: not too loose and not too tight. They should be both soft and hard at the same time; soft enough so that they don't squeeze the foot and prevent it from growing properly, but hard enough to provide support. They should also have anti-slip soles to prevent accidents. Kids grow quickly and so do their feet! It's important to make sure the shoes they wear are appropriate.

tfi Finding the right W It Sfies without saying that kids will W be a lot happier if they are able to m choose a school bag that they like. V Like adults, current trends often dictate

their choice of style and colours. In fact, for many kids, identifying with a certain group might play a bigger role than personal taste when it comes to such types of decisions.

But a school bag is more than just a fashion accessory, it's also a school item that should above all be practical. It should also be fairly durable and resistant. What's more, it should he large enough to accommodate all the books and school materi-

school bag als that your child will have to lug around every day. And naturally, opting for a waterproof mater­ial will pay off in the long run.

But there's also a question of ergonomics. Your child will be carrying this same bag for approxi­mately the same amount of time each and every day. This will obviously have some type of impact on his or her body. A heavy bag carried on just one shoulder requires the body to compensate by leaning. That's why it's best to choose a bag that can easily be worn on both shoulders, such as a backpack, which is designed so that it won't cause injury to the body.

Shooglenifty keeps dance crowd on its feet Scottish band is impressed with its audience but not with the hall. 'It was like a gigantic bathroom.' By MITCHELL SHERRIN Dri f twood Staff

The Farmers Ins t i tu te fell under siege to a stomping swarm of musically altered fundraisers Wednesday night.

Scot t ish supe rg roup Shooglenifty incited a sold-out crowd of Maxwell watershed land pu rchase r s to bounce , gyrate and sway through a curi­ous blend of traditional Gaelic folk tunes fused with hypnotic h ip-hop dance rhy thms and high-energy funkadelic mayhem.

The six-member band deftly toe-stepped from traditionally grounded knee-slapping Scottish folk tunes such as R o d ' s Doorway to playfully pro­grammed digi ta l sk ipp ing mantras like Bjork's Chauffeur.

Melody front- l ine Angus Grant on fiddle, Iain MacLeod on Mandol in and Garry F in layson on Banjax — a uniquely customized electr ic banjo — mimicked digital skips and feedback loops within more familiar jigs and reels.

Drummer James Mackintosh wracked caffeinated rhythms off high-hat and snare while simul­taneously triggering a host of p rog ramming pa t te rns on an effects unit.

Gui tar is t Malcolm Crosbie and bass player Conrad Ivitsky rounded out the sci-fi hoe-down with elements of bluegrass, funk and acid croft grooves.

Tunes such as Del ighted opened dreamy layers of stringed melodies within thun­dering rhythms of hypnotic bass and snared drum beats.

Igor's had the campy flavour of a .007 cocktail bar. The song began with a loopy surfer ska jam and jumped tracks into a tra­ditional Celtic jig before trans­forming into a frenetic medita­tion raga.

Fiddlemeister Grant described Hijab as "an Arabic word for

protect your water rights." This playful tune bounced into life with a quirky guitar bubble and airy voices that waxed reminis­cent of Third World taxi rides.

The audience exploded with applause to draw the band back for an encore after two sets of high-energy dance. Shooglenifty leapt back on stage to dedicate their hill-billy reggae helicopter ride Whiskey Kiss to everyone who made their stay on the island so wonderful.

After the concert, the "Shojis" met with a Driftwood reporter for a brief interview while they savoured a baked salmon caught by n ine-year-o ld hos tess Kathleen Mooney.

"The audience was an amaz­ing buzz; the kids with backward baseball caps were really getting down," said MacLeod.

Shooglenifty's "sound wizard" Niall MacCauley thought the island audience was fantastic.

"You could be on an island anywhere in the world here. You can see people here have made the kind of bonding where they are way past bitching about each other. It r eminds me of Scotland."

MacCauley was disappointed with the building acoustics and the antique sound-system pro­vided by a Vancouver supplier.

"This hall is awful. . . When I arrived it was empty. It sounded like a gigantic bathroom; sound bouncing everywhere. What a nightmare."

He noted that volunteers scrambled to cover walls with whatever material they could find to soften the "concrete-box effect."

The aging sound board also wreaked havoc upon the delicate instrumental layers and fiddly flourishes in the band's reper­toire.

Bassist Ivitsky suffered from a faulty channel that caused his

loose-limbed grooves to fade out intermittently during the per­formance.

He shrugged off the technical glitches and continued to play.

"If it's not working on stage you just get it from the audi­ence. It just takes a little more creativity."

The band has seen a broad range of venues from small pubs to conce r t s of 20 ,000 . They recent ly p layed at the Rainforest Music Festival in Borneo.

"We've played in all kinds of weird and wonderful p l aces from the Sidney Opera House to the Farmers Institute," said gui­tarist Crosbie.

"We're used to working at a certain professional level but occasionally we rough it," said mandolin player MacLeod with a wink.

"Here we are staying in huts and yurts with deer nibbling our ears in the middle of the night."

In c lass ic i s lander s ty le , MacLeod hitch-hiked down to

Blackburn Meadows to play some "organic g o l f during his brief stay on the island.

Crosbie tried a little fishing on St. Mary Lake. "I caught two small bass but I threw them back because they were guiy-wee (awfully small)."

Shooglenifty has been touring Canada for the last three weeks s ince they landed at Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. They are scheduled to play in Salmon Arm and Winn ipeg before returning to Edinburgh.

(m)Other Tongue Press produces artistic treasures Two creative minds are behind local publishing house

By KELLY WATERS Driftwood Staff

Seen any good books lately? While most people think of books as collections of pages containing words to be read, Mona Fertig and Peter Haase construct them as works of art to be admired in their own right. The combination of beautiful paper, exquisite, hand­set type and intriguing lino-cut drawings produces more than mere books: the pieces are artistic treasures. All of the books avail­able through Haase and Fertig's small publishing house, (m)Other Tongue press, is a testimony to the concept of the book as an art form.

A poet herself, Mona Fertig has always appreciated the beauty of the printed word. She talks about design, fonts (type styles), papers and colours as a photographer would speak of quality off light or a sculptor would describe the tex­ture of clay. Fertig crafts each book and broadside (single printed sheet) with the same careful atten­tion she must apply to her poetry: every work is a perfect balance of words, art and space.

(m)Other Tongue Press really began with Fertig, long before the publishing house opened. "I had the name of the press years ago because I started publishing a small, literary, underground maga­zine," she said. "So it's evolved from a mag to all this."

The "all this" she referred to is (m)Other Tongue Press iiself: a studio in Fertig 's and Haase's home that is filled with seven huge, antique printing presses, tray upon tray of tiny steel letters and numbers, a display of finished books and broadsides, and an array of works in progress spread over the work space. Quite an evo­lution.

Over the years, a similar devel­opment occurred in Fertig's career as a book creator. From her first foray into publishing in 1972, when a collection of her poems was published by the Workers' Compensation Board (WCB), to the present, with she and Haase publishing award-winning Canadian poets' work, Fertig has grown as a designer and book architect. Back in '72, a group of injured workers printed Fertig's chapbook The Illusive Unicorn as part of their physical therapy. "They printed it, but I designed it and did the cover and the illustra­tions," she said.

These days, Fertig designs books, commissions paper-makers to produce special sheets, crafts

interesting covers and bindings, and comes up with new concepts for the shape of books. Haase cre­ates lino-cut illustrations and sets the type by hand.

Unlike Fertig, Haase didn ' t always work with books. His jour­ney to become a printer and illus­trator began only six years ago. After Haase had a near-fatal acci­dent working on construction of the Core Inn, he was forced to change his occupation.

The couple acquired a press from some local artists. For Fertig, it was a dream come true: "The writer in me, of course, always fantasized about a press. Like Virginia Woolf and the Hogarth Press."

Neither Haase nor Fertig knew anything about the equipment, so they took a one-day course in let­terpress printing at the Emily Carr art school in Vancouver. "Peter just loved it," said Fertig. "It's very particular, very fastidious. An old art."

Soon, Haase and Fertig were trying to convince the WCB that printing was a viable career option for Haase and he should be spon­sored for it. "They wanted him to be a computer guy or a car sales­man," said Fertig.

Without their tenacity, there would be no (m)Other Tongue" Press to speak of. Now, Haase's creations are admired and collect­ed by book lovers world-wide.

The couple 's books are the result of two creative minds work­ing together, and a marriage of old and new technologies. Most of the inside pages, for example, are laid out by Fertig using QuarkXPress on her Macintosh, while all the covers and some special interior pages are hand-set by Haase, using lime-honoured skills and tradition­al typefaces.

Embossing, the process of creat­ing a raised image on paper, is one particularly compelling applica­tion of old and new using Mother Tongue's 90-year-old platen press.

Haase described part of the process: "I drew the image, e-mailed it as an attachment to Victoria, and they etched it with a laser on nylon." The product, cre­ated with the aid of computers and phone wires, is placed between the antique press and the paper. An enormous amount of pressure is applied and —just like in the old days — the image appears on the page, raised as texture.

Fertig and Haase share that joy with fellow book lovers by print­ing a colophon, or recipe, of each book and broadside they publish. For example, Fertig described a current project with poet P.K. Page: "I had [the paper] specially made. There are copper bits. I got her to send me her fuchsia linen scarf — and it actually had her name on it — and then cedar and cotton. Peter will do a lino-cut of

the animals mentioned in [Page's poem]." Haase added, "[The type­face is] Italian Old Style, 14 point, Roman. It's beautiful. It has lots of nice ligatures, joined letters and all kinds of beautiful things."

While all (m)Other Tongue books share their high quality, they are not all created equally. Some don't even look like regular books. This year's Winter/ Rice/ Tea/ Strain: 3 Poems for Roy Kiyooka by Daphne Marlatt proved that books don't just have to be sheets of paper glued togeth­er. The book's pages are 8 x 11.5", alternating in two different colours, and its cover is 25 .5" high. This piece is constructed as a

fold-out sculptural work: "It's a different concept of a book," explained Fertig. It moved beyond the idea of the book as art into the concept of art which also happens to be a book.

Another engaging creation from 2001 is Suite Ancient Egypt — The Other Hand of Time by Penn Kemp. Printed in blue on striking goldenrod-coloured paper, the book features superb lino-cuts and embosses Haase created, drawing on his love of Egyptology. The author's name and the book title are even written in hieroglyphics in cartouches. Left at this point. Suite Ancient Egypt would be a gorgeous collectors' item. Fertig and Haase went one step further, though, and added a bit of Egyptian papyrus to the endpa­pers. They then shaped the whole piece into a three-dimensional pyramid. The book stands out as a model for new publishing forms.

The (m)Other Tongue Press motto is "Beautiful Books Make the Heart Sing." If this is true, then Fertig and Haase must not be able to work over the sound of their own hearts' songs.

A catalogue for (m)Other Tongue Press is available online at www.mothertonguepress.com. The studio, at 290 Fulford-Ganges Road, is open this coming long weekend from Saturday to Monday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call 537-4155 for more information.

Work by Allan Edwards, students on display at ArtSpring next week

Allan Edwards

Every art show comes with its own aura of anticipation, but the Allan Edwards tribute set to open at ArtSpring next week is arriving with a llotxl of it.

Edwards was a painter, graphic designer and teacher of internation­al repute who spent the last several years of his life on Salt Spring. While here he affected the lives of a throng of aspiring and fully-fledged local artisLs.

His friend Joan Angus has spear­headed the tribute, which will see an estimated 40 Edwards works on display, generously offered by their owners especially for the exhibit.

The show will also include paint­ings done by Edwards students.

said Angus, "some under instruc­tion and some done by the same students in later years, which is to show people that even though an artist teaches you the techniques in his style, a good teacher leads you to go beyond that, and so many of the people on this island paint very differently from Allan and thank him for their expertise."

The exhibit opens on Friday, September 7, between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m. and runs daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until September 17.

Owners of contributed works should bring their paintings to the gallery on September 5, said Angus, for hanging the following day.

Watercolour artist changes direction, turns to acrylics By GAIL SJUBERG Driftwood Staff

It's 9 a.m. at the Saturday market and the only word to describe Jacki Hooker's booth of watercolour originals, matted prints and cards is "swarmed."

In the space of 20 minutes she makes at least four sales to visitors and one local woman who turns out to be an enthusiastic art appreciator and owner of several Hooker works. She laments her home's lack of walls to display everything she really wants to buy, and explains that her friend came today and said she just "had to get one."

Hooker's watercolour images of flowers and Salt Spring scenes have great collector, tourist and gift-buy­ing appeal, calling up the island's serene natural state or keeping sum­mer blooms alive all year long.

But her fans may be surprised by what they see at her first Naikai Gallery show which opens Friday night.

Taking an intense, week-long Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) workshop on the island ear­lier this summer sent her in an inspired new direction, accompa­nied by the vivid presence of acrylic paints.

Anticipating her usual high level of summer activity. Hooker initially turned down a request from Naikai proprietor Don Monteith to mount a show this year.

Then she took the FCA course and promptly changed her mind.

"It was just what I needed to get back on track as an artist, rather than a producer."

Everything was put in freeze mode for a few weeks while she obsessed herself with painting specifically for the show.

Included in the series is one she calls The Artist's Path, depicting

part of an arbutus-lined path in Ruckle Park; another of the Ruckle homestead; a cluster of boats moored in Long Harbour; the land­mark sprawling barn complex in Fulford Valley; and Ganges Harbour tide pools and seaweed lit by sunshine.

The colours are naturally brighter with the acrylics, and while the sub­jects are similar to her watercolour works, they emit a whole new glow through the different medium.

Some new watercolour pieces will also be in the Naikai exhibit.

Hooker doesn't often paint directly from a photograph — she uses them, but will superimpose other elements, or her own prefer­ence for what could be in the scene.

"A lot of my watercolours are just out of my head from images I've collected of Salt Spring," she said.

And when a mystical-looking Mount Baker is identified in one painting, she interjects that "it's an artist's rendition of Mount Baker."

Hooker has lived on the island since 1994 and many islanders may know her as the former co-owner of Island Books Plus, now called Salt Spring Books and owned by Adina Hildebrandt and Andrew Haigh.

She studied art at the University of California in Davis, although switched her major to English liter-

ature and art history. Like many moms, Hooker also put her painting pursuits into neutral gear while rais­ing her family. When the Salt Spring bookstore chapter of her life was complete, Hooker decided to immerse herself fully in art.

She exhibits in Painters' Guild and Alliance of Salt Spring Artists shows, at ArtCraft and Naikai Gallery, and has participated in B.C. Ferries' Artists and Speakers Program. A stint on the northern route last year spurred watercolour

images with more mist and deeper forests.

Hooker also likes teaching others one-on-one, and has taught comput­er classes in the past.

Well-known Salt Spring painter Jack Avison is one of her mentors.

Hooker has been represented by Naikai for about a year. "I'm really glad to have Don on my side," she said.

Hooker paints almost full-time through the winter months to pre­pare for summer demand. "1 paint

five or six days a week, in the morn­ing, and I don't stop in the winter."

It's a lifestyle familiar to numer­ous craftspeople whose goods fill the tables and shelves of the Saturday market and ArtCraft.

How does it feel to create such popular work?

Hooker says, smiling, "I think I will feel successful when I can afford to not do the market."

Friday's opening at Naikai is from 7-9 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

Ron Max plays run again next week By MITCHELL SHERRIN Driftwood Staff

The Way We Wuz, a powerful suite of one-act plays, is returning to ArtSpring for another set of per­formances next week.

This collection of plays written and directed by Ron Max enjoyed a four-night run in the Festival of the Arts last July.

"Everyone was having so much fun, I didn't want to see it end," said Max.

He said the plays also offered the cast, including himself, a great opportunity to grow and learn.

"After 10 and a half weeks of rehearsals we'd just started to get a sense of what we could do."

Max was also approached by many people who asked him to put the production on again.

"The response was overwhelm­ing from both those who saw it and from those who missed it."

He said co-director Lynda Jensen had discovered a cancella­tion at ArtSpring and the two scooped up the available dates without a moment's hesitation.

Max noted that i t 's a great opportunity to revisit the material after a brief rest.

"The break gave us enough time to get some perspective on the whole thing."

As the writer and director of the plays, he took the liberty to make some changes.

"The first time through I didn't have the same objectivity I would now," he said.

However, Max noted most of the changes are small or technical. The theatre group plans to "go back to the basics" in their 10 days of intensive rehearsals. "We will approach it as if we've never done it before."

Jensen joins Max as a co-direc­tor in the project. She co-directed Cocktails for Two with Max in the previous production. Jensen will also join the cast for the

September performances to replace Jennifer Apedaile in Look at it This Way.

Max indicated that Jensen's additional involvement was refreshing.

"The hardest thing to do is direct your own acting, especially if you wrote the material . . . With her, I didn't have to be right all the time. Basically we're all helping each other."

Max noted that it's been great to work with such a talented, patient and enthusiastic group.

"The biggest satisfaction I've got after my $10 profit was that I loved how happy everybody was. It was phenomenal."

Most of the cast have studied with Max in his acting workshops.

"If you talk the same language, you have understanding. And if you have understanding, there is nothing you can't do given enough

time." The Way We Wuz shows com­

mence at 8 p.m. September 6-9. Tickets are available at ArtSpring for $14.

South American music is on tap at Music & Munch next week

Next Wednesday, September 5, marks the first of the month­ly recitals of the Music and Munch fall and winter series.

Featured in a program for flute and guitar are local musi­cians Alvaro Sanchez and Vladimir Konik.

Their recital of traditional music from South America is a first of its kind in this venue and brings to the audience the fascinating rhythms and haunt­ing style of the region. They will offer songs performed mostly in Spanish and instru­

mental selections, including the lovely tango Uno, the charming waltz Pelotnita Blanca and a favourite El Choclo.

Alvaro Sanchez has appeared at Music and Munch as a member of the classical guitar trio Ma Non Troppo, begun under the inspiration of Lloyd English and continued with Peter Taschuk.

Sanchez, who was born in Buenos Aires, has played the music of his cultural heritage all his life and Wednesday's

recital will give the audience an opportunity to enjoy his charming and gifted style.

Delighted to be playing with Sanchez, Vladimir Konik offers his skills as a flute play­er, having also performed in Vancouver as a pianist. He cur­rently plays in the Sail Spring Concert Band and is working on a concert for the accordion-style instrument called the bion.

Free music begins at 12:10 p.m. at All Saints, followed by lunch for $4.75.

PENDERS EDITION NEWS FROM NORTH AND SOUTH PENDER ISLANDS

From the bizarre to the beautiful: it's all at the fair By KAE CHARMAN Penders Edition Staff

Twenty-eight Pender Highlanders and guest pipers led the procession of the bizarre and the beautiful to kick off Pender Islands Fall Fair festivities celebrat­ing agriculture and the Year of the Volunteer.

Both Salt Spring and Pender Islands branches of the Royal Canadian Legion and the 4-H Club were well represented in the grandest event of the year.

Stitt-walkers and Three-on-a-Tree's giant puppets heightened the procession, and horses, fire trucks, wagons, tractors, motorcy­cles and bicycles followed close behind. There was even a giant bunch of blueberries from the Bonin's farm.

This year the route brought the parade into the grounds and around the hall before continuing its journey to the fire hall. Some confusion occurred when traffic was not diverted early enough and the Highlanders deked back in through the hall entrance. The pro­cession was left in a quandary: should they follow? Weren't they supposed to go the fire hall? It was a grand spectacle, nonetheless.

Clever work by parking atten­dants kept the entrance clear of vehicles throughout the day in what could have been a tremen­dous bottleneck as cars manoeu­vred their way to the parking.

Inside the gates was the festive tone of celebration with an unoffi-cial record attendance of over 2.100. There was something for every age and every possible island interest. Spinners spun, golfers swung, market vendors stuffed money into their aprons, animals brayed, neighed and

honked, and kids jumped, laughed and sugar-spun out of control.

Joe Coffey's amazing drawing of an unnamed ram featured strongly in this year's theme.

Mae Moore dedicated a song to Pender's organic farmers about seeing "the red clay hills before they disappeared." Zorah Starr pulled Mahalia Jackson from deep within her bones to sing a new song, Carry Me.

The cast of That Chick Can Sing did a few numbers, accompanied by the nimble fingers of Joan Lawrence on piano, and Starr thumping out rhythm on a cooler.

Tom Rolfe spent the day with tiny plane in hand, fashioning an oar to go with his handcrafted, 17-foot Whitehall boat on display. With exquisite workmanship, this quiet man received an award of excellence for his orca-designed toy box.

Antique cars and motorcycles were displayed, including a 1922 Ner-a-car owned by Don Doodie and Rob Slorrie 's custom-chromed, Hispanic-style 72-spoked mustang bicycle.

The Bear Mother Project 's Honour Book was on display, although I didn't gel the chance to look it over, there was always someone gingerly leafing through the pages when I tried.

The food was varied and spec­tacular. Sushi Queen, EunHee O'Reilly rolled rice in kelp all day and eventually sold out; Wendy and Craig Dunnelt Hipped and Hopped quesadillas until there was nothing left to flip and flop; Solstice Theatre sold corn-on-the-cob, with Wild Woman Sheila Jordan in outrageous costume; Danny Martin sold ice cream and the main food booth sold their fare

out of the mini-barn behind the hall.

Then there were the exhibits. I'm always amazed at the hidden talents of Pender's population; the creativity and spark that comes out in delicious detail come fall fair time. There are far too many to list them all, but here are some of the highlights.

The Ashton Ross-Smith trophy went to Clam Bay Farm.

The A.H Menzies Cup for fruits & vegetables went to Angela Verriour, as did the MacKinnon trophy for the best collect ion, the James Auchterlonie trophy for fruit, and the Eleanor Adamson trophy for most points in the nower section; Angela has obviously been very busy since retiring from teaching full time at Pender Elementary School.

And Charman Farms' garlic braid received a well-deserved standard of excellence award. (One of the judges told me a col­lective gasp was heard when the braid was turned over for inspec­tion, the time I spent on finishing detail was worth it.)

The Gulf Excavating trophy for best float in the parade went to Three-on-a-Tree for its giant puppets; the Earl Hastings tro­phy for best individual parade entry went to Gillian Peterson for her classic car; the trophy for the best decorated bicycle went to Matthew, Erin and Devin Bonin for the second year in a row. Good job, Bonins!

The Wine and Beer trophy went to Amy Heggie; the Vivienne Menzies Rose Bowl for baking went to Liz Duerre; the Village Bakery trophy for baking went to the Wilffen Estate (Sue Coffen); the Ladies Auxiliary Shield for food preservation went to Margaret Grimmer; the

George Gummer trophy for woodwork went to Brad Harr ison, great grandson of Eleanor Harrison; the Shop Craft Guild trophy went to Wendy Dunnett, some of her outstand­ing items were clay tile murals and bowls; the Art Group trophy went to Pamela Brooks for art­work; Peterson received an excellence award for art; the Fibre Guild trophy went to Peg Martin; the Karl Hamson trophy went to Andrea Parsons; the Pender Post trophy for needle­work was tied between Vi Smith and Jean MacDonald. Special mention went to Blossom and Hollow of Blossom Hollow Farm for their pickles.

Sandy Gauer received the Frank York trophy for poultry, as well as the Otter Bay Marina trophy for dairy and poultry products; Iona Farm collected the most points for livestock; the Ross-Smith farm received the Farmers ' Inst i tute trophy for best market lamb; Special men­tion is deserved for best kept, decorated and educational live­

stock pen by Whalewych Farm, Gauer, Greg Nichol ls and Martha McMahon.

In the Young Peoples section, the Gauer family cleaned up with most points in agriculture and children's section by Bryce and Breanna. And Liis Graham received the trophy for most points in Young People, one item she created was a stunning paint­ing with surprisingly apt colour and texture : and the Donkey Down trophy for 4-H Fall Fair project went to Walter Johnstone. And special mention for best kept, decorated and edu­cational livestock pen goes to Alex and Walter Johnstone.

The Berry Pie trophy went to Bev Warneboldl, and the grand­est trophy of all, the Jamie Scott Corbett Memorial Cup went to Verriour at Old Orchard Farm for the most points in the fair.

As always, the main body of work in organizing an event of epic proportion falls in the hands of cons is tent volunteers , of which this community has an impressive quantity and quality.

16-year-old donates ponytail for cancer victim's wig By PAMELA BROOKS Renders Edition Contributor

Mary Ann Pare walks with crutches following an accident in France this summer. With her friend, John, they tried to launch kayaks from a wet, sandy beach on Pender. The tide was out and" Mary Ann's crutches suddenly sank to the hilt in the mud flat.

With John's help, she pulled the crutches out of the deep, but a rubber crutch tip was missing. John reached into the mud up to his armpit and brought out a huge sharp squeal at the sight of the gigantic prawn he had excavated. The prawn went flying instead of swimming. A miraculous lady came to their rescue. Not only was she a physiotherapist with a solution to the missing tip, she

was also a kayaker. Mary Ann was chastised, but managed a great kayak trip after all.

Art On The Deck at Carol Christie's Spyglass home was gorgeous, extensive, awesome and col laborat ive. Keith Valentine's handmade books combined with Carol Christie's beautiful calligraphy produced masterful works.

Art group hangs first panel of time map at community hall By KAE CHARMAN the first sighting of the HMS Trincomali, a activities and beyond to the building of Jervis, colours are almost identical to By KAE CHARMAN Penders Edition Staff

The Pender Island Art Society (PIAS) hung the first panel of its interpretation of the last 100 years of history on this island we call home.

The time map was hoisted by willing hands to the front of the technical balcony on the upper floor of the Pender Community Hall last Wednesday.

Through extensive research and invaluable information from A Gulf Islands Patchwork and More Tales From the Outer Gulf Islands books, the art society has shaped a story from

the first sighting of the HMS Trincomali, a ship named after a port in Sri Lanka. A First Nations woman carrying a basket suspended from her forehead is depicted as she sights the ship motoring through the water.

According to Victor Allen, PIAS member and major contributor to the piece, the HMS Trincomali was unable to sail through the islands and was powered by steam.

The frigate meets a wall of trees on the North Pender shore. The last two wolves peak from behind that wall, reportedly shot in the early 1900s. Another native woman with a young child looks inward toward logging

activities and beyond to the building of homesteads, Old Orchard Farm, the old com­munity hall displaying a banner announcing the third annual fall fair and a golfer taking a swing.

A depiction of an apple tree in Dave Underhill's orchard graces the far right cor­ner. And the Port Washington dock holds the Lady Rose while the Yosemite powers across the waters beyond, steam from each vessel riding off in different directions to show the fickle nature of island wind currents.

Painstaking detail was employed in the making of this panel and, according to Bert

Jervis, colours are almost identical to original buildings even though only vague sketches remained in historical records.

PIAS president Barbara Woollcombe said the panel took a year to complete, with many hands taking part. The second panel will fin­ish the time line, with the final scene depict­ing our current community hall with the Bear Mother unity poles and Tsimshian carver Victor Reece singing, drumming and looking back at the woman who gazed out over the island changes 100 years ago.

What an incredible historical picture of our island.

Joyce Jones shows watercolours, acrylics By KAE CHARMAN Penders Edition Staff

With quotes from French cubist painter Georges Braque and impressionist artist Paul Klee on hand, Joyce Jones exhibited her work in a recent weekend show entitled Ground of Being.

Eighteen years ago Jones began painting with watercolours.

Rock Dog (The Spit) is a gentle blue-grey beach scene, with her dog curled and sleeping on the shore. Or is it really a rock?

Tidal Flow (Salt Spring) shows the subtle grey hills and tidal shoreline in browns and golds. Alders in Spring must have been painted on a rainy day, for there are no greens in this painting, but stands of alder trunks in grey, white, and stark pink. Resting is a curled sleeping dog on a bed of green. Antipodes are diametrical opposites. and Jones' watercolour Turquoise Antipodes stands men­acingly in opposition, the colours to each other, sky blue box-like

shape amidst grey and sand colours.

Edge of the Meadow was peace­fully green, soft green/yellow sky and brown box buildings.

She began painting with acrylics seven years ago and uses a box­like image in much of her acrylic work on canvas. See Saw consists of four stark and vivid boxes; Pivots of Now, again four boxes, blue, purple, orange and yellow.

Pool of Clarity holds a white box shape opposite an orange reflection. I noticed the signature JJones was upside down and in the upper corner and asked if the piece-was actually upside down. Jones said it was all about perspectives, she paints them at different angles and hangs them in different ways on different days. Some of her paintings have wires attached on different sides so they can be hung any way.

Portrait of an Artist gives a mere hint of a figure amidst a cacopho­ny of colour, squiggling, scattered

and slashed across the canvas, over, under and around the ghostly image as many painters look after a day of frenzied creative expres­sion.

The Centre has no centre at all, but more box-like shapes set off to the side. What's in the middle, for me, is a waterfall washing the scene.

Abstract art is a subjective medi­um, the beauty is literally in the eye of the beholder.

Georges Braque is quoted: "The finished painting . . . is what comes from the spectator and the painting together, from the rela­tionship between the two."

The images that come to eye-when viewing Jones' acrylics on canvas are varied and vividly expressed. They are not merely paint thrown on canvas, but image, shape and colour in concert with each other.

Jones has been quietly creating images of self, life, love, loss and adventure.

^ T T E L U S NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ICRTCI has initiated a proceeding to review the form of regulation for the telephone companies in Canada {Price Cap Review and Related issues, Public Notice CRTC 2001-371. Since 1998, the CRTC has used Price Cap regulation to regulate the prices charged for local telephone services by the telephone companies.

In its submission in this proceeding, TELUS has proposed a Service Improvement Plan to extend service to unserved communities and upgrade service in communities with a lower grade ol service. For unserved communities, the Service Improvement Plan is a voluntary program for communities with at least 10 permanent residents who are willing to participate in the plan. The cost of the Service Improvement Plan in unserved communities would be paid for in part by the customers obtaining service (up to S1.000 of the first $26,000 per household) and in part by a subsidy from all other customers (for any amount beyond the customer's $1,000 per household up to a maximum of $29,000 per household). The cost of the Service Improvement Plan for upgrades in underserved communities would be paid entirely by a subsidy from all other customers.

TELUS has also proposed that it have the flexibility to raise rates for local service (including extended area service) by up to $3 per month per year to a maximum monthly rate of $35 per month for residential customers. Any rate increases in high-cost areas would reduce the subsidy paid by the general body of customers to maintain service in those areas. For business customers, TELUS has proposed that rates be constrained by increases of no more than 10% per year in areas where there is no competition and that this constraint not apply in areas where competition exists.

The CRTC invites any person wishing to file written comments in this proceeding to do so by writing to the CRTC by October 15,2001. As well, the first day of the oral hearing, which is scheduled to take place in Hull, Quebec on October 1,2001 will be reserved for comments from the general public. The comments may be given in person or by teleconference. If you would like to participate in the oral portion of this proceeding, please register in writing with the CRTC by September 20,2001 specifying whether you will participate in person or by teleconference.

Written comments or notification of your intention to participate in the oral

hearing can be sent to the CRTC at Secretary General Canadian Radio-television end Telecommunications Commission Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2

BIRTHDAY FRIDAY: Aldo Badesso, who turns 90 on Friday, says golf is his first love. He plays

two or three times a week — and finds time tO ChaSe WidOWS. Pholob»Dern<kLuiKiy

Aldo Badesso turns 90 Friday and is happy shooting his age By KELLY WATERS Driftwood Staff

Aldo Badesso is an avid golfer. At first this may not seem news­worthy. But take into account the fact that he celebrates his 90th birthday this Friday, and suddenly Badesso's participation in such a physical hobby is a pretty interest­ing story indeed.

Bom August 31, 1911, Badesso got into golf in 1940. At the time, he was working for Molson ' s Brewery and living in Vancouver. A self-described "outdoor person," Badesso had always enjoyed hik­ing, hunting, and mountain climb­ing. "I've climbed all the moun­tains in the Vancouver area," he said, matter-of-factly. When the war started, gas was rationed and Badesso couldn't get anywhere outside the city. His favourite sports were no longer options.

"I had to get outside," he explained, so he needed to find a way to do that within the city lim­its. Because there was a course near his home, golf seemed like a good alternative.

When Badesso first tried golf, he pictured it being an easy game: "I thought, 'Hit a little ball ... it shouldn't be too ha_d'," he said.

Soon enough he learned that "it's a very exacting game," as he put it.

Back then, wooden-shafted clubs were still in use. The equip­ment was nowhere near as high-tech as the clubs, shafts and balls used today. Even so. Badesso developed a strong affinity for the game — "It's my first love," he claimed — and he got really good at it.

Decades later, Badesso still shoots his age. This is a feat not many can do, and Badesso is rightfully proud of this accom­plishment. It's something he has always been able to achieve: "When I was 79, I shot 79," he said. "Eighty-two, 83, 84, I shot

those, too." With the Salt Spring Golf and Country Club par set at 72, this golfer's score is not too shabby at all lately.

Just don't expect him to com­pete in any tournaments: "I'm 90 years old!" he exclaimed.

Golfing so successfully at such an advanced age is surely a sign of good health. The game itself is a contributing factor to Badesso's longevity, since walking the cours­es for some 60-odd years will cer­tainly help keep a person fit. Badesso attributes his good health to years and years of eating right and staying fit. When he was a young man, Badesso watched what he ale and kept active. He noticed that while he slept and ate well in preparation for his hikes and climbs, his friends stayed out late partying. "Those guys are pretty well all dead," he said. Badesso ate natural foods and had his own little gym. "1 pumped iron

like crazy. 1 could squat with 400 pounds," he said.

These days, Badesso still focus­es on his good health. "I have to have exercise," he said. "I've got to get out, got to move around."

Along with playing golf two or three times a week, Badesso also makes wine, chops wood and gar­dens. He says he also chases wid­ows, though he's careful not to catch any.

Waxing philosophically about his chosen sport, Badesso said, "If you catch the golf bug, it's a good thing." He explained how concen­trating on the game forces people to think of other things, not what was on their mind. That's the kind of advice one might expect from a yogi — not a golfer — but then this is no ordinary golfer.

Badesso expects to be on the greens shooting 100 in 10 years: "If I'm still around, I'll still golf," he promised.

Student, 17, gives golf lessons, opens new world for teens By MITCHELL SHERRIN Driftwood Staff

"A totally rewarding experi­ence" is how one Salt Spring high school student described his expe­rience as a volunteer who taught golf to teenagers with develop­mental disabilities this summer.

Over the last few weeks, 17-year-old Stuart Sinclair has been giving driving and putting tips to a group of students from the Gulf Island Families Together Society (GIFTS).

"He's opened up a new world that wasn't open to them before," said GIFTS summer program coordinator Cherry Jensen.

She was surprised to hear from Sinclair when he initially called to propose his plan. "He phoned me out of the blue."

But Sinclair impressed Jensen with his dedicated plan to organize a series of golf lessons for the teenagers in the program. He had thought of details such as the num­ber of slots on the driving range and even pre-regisiered heights and weights of participants for club sizes.

"I was looking for something to do this summer that would benefit kids," said Sinclair, who also works at the Ganges Marina.

He noted that his mother gave him the idea to contact GIFTS when he thought of volunteering to give golf lessons.

Working with participants from the GIFTS program worked out better than he expected.

"We were a pretty good match," he said.

Sinclair has played golf since he first acquired a set of clubs at age 10. His passion for golf lingers under the surface of dry humour.

"I thought I might as well share the game; misery loves company."

A group of five to eight golf stu-

dents joined Sinclair for lessons at Blackburn Meadows Golf Course.

The students alternated between putting and driving practice for the first two weeks before moving onto the links for a final session last week.

Sinclair described his experi­ences with warmth.

"The first day everyone was not in the best mood. I guess they were a little nervous about how things would go, but as soon as some­body hit a good ball on the driving range their eyes would light up."

He noted that some students gravitated to certain aspects of the

game more than others. "Chris came the first day and

brought an old club from home that any avid golfer would have cast aside but he loved it. He would only play with his own clubs and expressed a lot of enjoy­ment about how he possessed his own set."

Another student focused on the meditative aspect of hitting the ball.

"Carlos didn' t want to play holes and preferred the driving range. He'd line up the ball and say T have to breathe.' After he'd prepared himself he would hit the ball well over a hundred yards."

Sinclair indicated that he would have liked to run the classes for two more weeks but the school start deadline cut the program short.

He thanked sponsors and Delia von Schilling of Blackburn Meadows, Dan Lee of Thrifty Foods and Rick Barbieri of Ganges Marina.

"Delia was a big help. She helped us get set up with clubs and balls and gave us use of the facili­ty. She really surprised us by ask­ing us to save payment of green lime to donate back into the GIFTS program."

Sinclair hopes to offer the golf instruction program next summer.

He will return to Brentwood College School next week. He plans to attend university in the future, "possibly Ivy League."

Book attracts interest at crvicus

SWOVA has gone interna­tional.

Lynda Laushway has returned to Salt Spring hrimming with enthusiasm after presenting a workshop at the 2001 CIVICUS World Assembly in Vancouver last week.

Laushway is a coordinator for Salt Spring Women Opposed to Violence and Abuse (SWOVA).

She joined a panel of repre­sentatives from around B.C. in the Violence Against Women: Focus on Prevention workshop.

The conference was attended by approximately 800 people from 90 different nations who met to discuss global social and economic justice issues.

Laushway spoke about the Salt Spring violence prevention project and gave out copies of the book Freedom From Fear.

"It was quite a wonderful experience," said Laushway.

She said many people, partic­ularly those from outside Canada, were very excited about Freedom From Fear. Several took copies with the intention of translating the book into their own languages.

"To know our work res­onates and translates to differ­ent parts of the world is very exciting."

Freedom From Fear: The How-to Guide on Violence Prevention was created on Salt Spring by a team of adults and high school students.

She noted that one member from Mozambique was even taken by the artwork on the book cover.

"He asked me about the image of small and larger hands and what that meant . . . He thought that was fabulous that the program involves young and old working together."

She also described how a woman from Saudi Arabia col­lected as many copies of the book as she could, noting that "people in very remote coun­tries will be talking about our work."

Laushway said other presen­ters had focussed more on problems of violence against women in Canada and around the world.

"I really felt that people were hearing a model to move for­ward with."

She noted that most partici­pants didn't have programs like the violence prevention project in their own countries.

"The CIVICUS conference was a very important place for our work to be represented . . . Any way that we can reach out to help them is very impor­tant."
