OCTOBER 16, 2009 Welcome to our Fourth Year of publishing The Islands Marketplace Free Classified Ad Magazine!! It has been a great experience. To share in our achievement, please take a moment to fill out and send in the Reader’s Survey on Page 14. And thanks to everyone for three fabulous years, with hopes for many more to come. Have you seen that television program on A&E called “Hoarders”? It is about obsessive compulsive hoarding or junk collecting. The program shows the lives of people who can not stop collecting items, who can’t throw things out and who find themselves facing eviction or losing their families and homes. It is a little disturbing to watch. It makes me realize that the root of their problems may lie in consumerism, which Wikipedia describes as the equation of personal happiness with consumption and the purchase of material possessions. And it’s no wonder, with the constant reminder from television commercials, telling us that we must have this and must have that. It is clear to see what this type of propaganda is creating. The vicious circle of economics that corporate CEOs are desperately relying on to secure their outrageous salaries and bonuses. Who cares if too much fast food is creating disease? Who cares if plastics are causing cancer and early death? Who cares if people are risking their health, families and finances for What’s with The Code?? The numbers at the end of every classified ad in The Islands Marketplace is a date stamp showing when the last issue is that the ad will be printed. For example: 10-16 means that the ad will not run after Oct. 16 (this issue). Each ad is usually placed for four issues, or until someone asks us to take it out. Most NEW ads in this issue have the code 11-27 (Nov. 27 is the last issue that the ad will run.) Marketplace things that they really don’t need. Who cares if people are losing their homes trying to keep up with the Joneses? All that matters is that the factories are still producing plastic and toxins, the trucks and ships are still burning oil and moving products around the world, to fill the dollar stores and Walmarts with nicknacks for our hoarders, collectors and desperate housewives. Really? How do these CEOs sleep at night, knowing the legacy that they will leave behind? We can’t really blame them, can we? It is a human problem. Wouldn’t you do everything in your power to keep your paycheque? All of us have to step back and find the things that ruly matter in our lives. After we all are 6 feet under, it won’t matter to us, but it will be a desperate problem for our children. If you agree with any of this, 5 EASY WAYS TO PLACE YOUR AD FOR FREE ☎ 1. Call 537-2905 or Toll free 1-877-537-2905 to place your ad by phone. You can leave your ad on the answering machine. 2. Email your ad to freeads@islandsmarketplace.com.

Our power is in our pocketbooks. It is up to us to exercise our rights in choosing carefully which products we purchase and bring home. Don’t let the marketing geniuses convince you that your life will be better with just one more thing from China. Follow the 100 mile diet for everything, including clothes, toys, gifts, furniture and other products. When you shop, ask yourself, do you need it or want it? Only buy what you need, save your money and save our society from the evil pitfalls of a desperate economy depending on consumerism that’s gone out of control. Economists will say this doesn’t make any sense, but it makes sense to those that believe that saving our planet from extinction is a bigger priority. - Sandi Poystila Published by: Sandi & Andrew Poystila Sales Assistant/Reps: Teresa Forbes, 250-537-2259 Jan Harvey, 250-537-5968 Contributing Writers: Georgiana Reehl, Jim Anderson, Tracey Supina Place your free ad if you are buying or selling non commercial items, by calling our number, emailing us, uploading your ad on our website or dropping your written ad off at Apple Photo.

Call your local mechanic and book your appointment for a complete tuneup and winterizing. These services may include oil and filter change, distributor cap, rotor, plugs and wires inspected and changed and new air filter installed. Tune-ups should also include greasing of the front end, brake & tire check, complete wire and hose inspection, as well as checking the belts, battery, lights and fluids. Some mechanics also offer a computer read out of electrical and mechanical performance. For safe and economical driving, tires must always be in good condition, especially when temperatures change. Make sure you have the right tires for the season and for your usage. If you don’t have winter tires make sure you have proper fitting chains for when the snow hits hard. Always check your tire pressure and get them properly balanced and aligned when having them changed. You can save some money if you do some of your vehicle maintenance work yourself. Clean corroded battery posts with sandpaper and use some petroleum jelly to keep them clean and working well. Replace your windshield wipers and buy another set to keep on hand. Purchase good quality antifreeze and oil, buy extra so you’re not left without when you need it. Make sure you are equipped with a a first aid kit, a small shovel, windshield scraper and jumper cables so you don’t get stuck on the side of the road in rough weather. The guys at Salt Spring Auto Parts can help you find exactly what you need. Winter tuneups and vehicle care sounds like a lot of work that could end up being costly, but it doesn’t have to be. If you keep your vehicle maintained regularly, your mechanic will be able to help you prevent costly repairs and problems. �������������������������������������������������������������� Don’t Panic!

Pleasure Craft Operators Card Now Required by Law September 15th was the deadline for any one who drives a motorized pleasure craft (10 horsepower and above) to obtain their Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC). This is true if the vessel is equipped with power whether it is in use or not. To help those who have not yet taken the test, Salt Spring’s Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary Unit 25 is offering a 3-hour course in which boaters will be prepared and take the test for their PCOC. The course covers the rules and the tools for safe boating as well as basic seamanship and safe trip planning. Some literature will be provided. Knot tying and simulated vessel traffic will help you use knowledge gained. Three separate courses will be offered to accommodate the public. Classes will take place at the GISS (room S107) from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. room. Pre-registration is required as space is limited to 25 people per course. Course dates are: Thursday October 22 Thursday October 29 Wednesday November 4 Recommended registration fee is $30 (which includes the $10 Transport Canada processing fee and a $20 donation to the Gulf Islands Marine Rescue Society.) To register, please email Tom McKeachie, Unit 25 Training Officer at tymck@telus. net (preferred) or call 250-537-5637. Holders of approved equivalency qualifications are not required to carry the card, but may, for their convenience, apply by simply showing their document with $10, no test. Refer to equivalencies at http://www.tc.gc.ca/marinesafety/debs/obs/ courses/pcoc/list-marine-safety-certif.htm for a list of the accepted qualifications.

This event marks the launch of Oona’s sweetly eclectic album Honey and Holy Water, an immediate top seller on CD Baby that is getting airplay across the globe. For all who associate Oona with faerie wings and mermaid tales expect to be moved, affirmed and energized by her heartfelt ability to navigate adult emotions and real world issues with a wise yet hopeful grace. Part Loreena McKennit goes out for breakfast with the local not quite jazz trio (free range eggs, organic spelt toast, wild berry jam), part Kate Bush in the bush with Joni Mitchell as a guide, Oona’s music is a river connecting song to sustainability, heartache to hope, passion to possibility, inspiring us to not only love the world, but believe we can transform it. Fun, funky and fervent, her band Dream Deep features wild cellist Corbin Keep, Hawaiian woodwinds whiz Richard Lee and soulful percussionist Chris Bertin. Tickets for the concert are $12 advance, $15 at the door and kids 12 and under are free and may be purchased at Salt Spring Books, via paypal at www.oonamcouat.com/shows and at the door.

Opened in June of 2009, the vineyard is managed and co-owned by Salt Spring residents Ian & Wendy Baker along with Vancouver Island partners Dave & Lenora Baker and Cliff Broetz & Barb Steele. Two years into the venture they have built a new winery, created a new tasting room, deck and picnic grounds and are proud to be open to the public. The winery and vineyard is located on Lower Ganges road near Ganges Harbour. Mistaken Identity is proud to grow Certified Organic grapes. While this adds significantly to the care of the vineyard all the owners are unanimous that this is how they wish to be responsible stewards of the land and how to be responsible to future generations. They like to think their wines pair with many different foods but more importantly, they pair well with the planet. A labour of love that is truly worth it, for generations. This year’s crop is on the way into production. With all partners and their families working hard alongside numerous friends, the harvest is nearing completion for another year. Mistaken Identity has just won two Bronze Medals at this year’s Canadian Wine Awards. With medals in hand for the Pinot Gris and the Pinot Rose they are setting the bar higher for next year. Other released wines include the Abbondante (or ‘Abundant’) Bianco and Gewurztraminer. Soon to follow is the Abbondante Rosso, a Pinot Noir and later, a Merlot. New next year will be a Chardonnay and Apple dessert wine. “It has been truly gratifying to see how well we have been received on Salt Spring”, says Wendy Baker. “Our guestbook is filled with compliments and this gives us great pleasure”. There is no mistaking the quality of the wines and the approach to grape growing and wine making. And along the way, “we’re better neighbors and better members of the community”.

Our BC wines are fast becoming recognized for their excellence and local uniqueness, with many wineries spread far and wide across the province. Fruit is also grown in abundance, with cherries, and apples, pears and kiwi’s growing throughout the interior and the islands. Southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands comprise some of the warmest growing regions in Canada. Microclimates exist that have enabled several different island wineries to produce multiple-award winning wines. Many of these wineries are small and family-owned, focused on creating superlative, low-volume wines available on-site or through select restaurants and cold beer & wine stores. Many vineyards offer tours and tastings with picnic facilities and even hosting special events. One such event is the Grape Harvest Stomp on Saturday, October 24, from 12 - 5pm at the Salt Spring Island Vineyards. With a live music lineup of folk and jazz entertainers, food, wine tasting and grape stomping (of course) as well as discounts on wine and boutique purchases. The winery’s traditionally crafted champenoise-style, white, red & dessert wines have landed Salt Spring Vineyards a bronze medal at the 2008 Northwest Wine Summit for its 2007 Blackerry Port. They also produces Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pino Gris, Pinot Blanc and Leon Millor and they have won gold and silver medals for some of these wines. Salt Spring Vineyards began this year’s grape harvest on Oct. 5 employing all local hand pickers. Harvest will be finished mid-Oct this year as thru weather has been so cooperative. SS Vineyards are pleased to be a fully sustainable vineyard with all the work done by hand, including weeding, pruning and picking, even labelling the bottles. For owners Dev and Joanne McIntyre, working on the vineyard is a dream realized. After retiring from the medical profession, they are fulfilling their passion for the grapes and wine making. Joanne says “It’s been a fabulous year for the grapes and we love having people enjoy our beautiful vineyard.” Be sure to visit next Saturday for an exciting and memorable experience, with wine tasting, grape stomping and lots of harvest-time fun. is that a fact...? Jackson-Triggs, a winery of Vincor Canada, is the official supplier of wine for the 2010 Winter Games. Vincor has produced a special series of Esprit wines under its Jackson-Triggs label, with a portion of the proceeds going to Vancouver 2010 and the Canadian Olympic Team. Vincor wines will also feature prominently in Games-time hospitality plans. Other Vincor brands include Sumac Ridge, Sawmill Creek, See Ya Later Ranch, Inniskillin, NkiMip and Naked Grape. The Company’s products are produced at a family of estate wineries located in the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.

Grapes To Wine... 13 By Tracey Supina “Drink to celebrate fullness, not fill emptiness” Tracey’s Marinara Recipe o feel the grapes squish between your toes, if any of you remember Lucy ( I love Lucy) she had the greatest experience stomping around a wine vat, dress hiked up and barefoot and true to Lucy form the expressions on her face, the trouble only she can get into priceless. The episode aired back in April of 1956. Ever since I saw that episode (rerun of course as to not date myself too badly) I have always wanted to stomp grapes. When my brothers and I were little we spent time with my grandparents in the summer. My Pop’s made homemade choke cherry wine. I think we could have been intoxicated off the fumes. It was always served at our big Italian family reunions and my Great Uncles dancing and singing and laughing the choke cherry wine flowing. Now with all variety of wines from so many countries it is a pleasure to walk through a wine store, to an avid reader like walking through a book store, to a painter the beautiful colors of nature or a scene that just needs to be seen on canvas. My boyfriend and I enjoy the reds, the robust flavors, the deep garnet color, we sip and then talk about what we taste and what foods would go with a certain wines. It feels like a hobby. I always ask what country should we go to this weekend for our wine tasting. I know he would jump at the chance to stomp grapes with me. I have inherited my Italian Nona’s way of cooking, I loved making marinara with her she started first thing in the morning, cutting, chopping, squeezing, and pressing garlic oh the garlic, then by lunch time we had our taste a scoop on a piece of bread with a glass of wine (when I was older) as we stayed in the kitchen talking about everything I watched her ...a little wine in the glass and a couple of chugs into the simmering pot of sauce. Her marinara was to die for and she always said “it was all in the wine”.... so my marinara equally sauced up as her was. Don’t be afraid to share some of your wine with your sauce the smell makes your mouth water as you stir it in. Here is a simple Marinara recipe ....cheers and don’t forget your favorite wine.... The Islands Marketplace HOROSCOPE 1 large onion, diced 1⁄2 tsp dried basil 3 garlic cloves, minced 2 bay leaves 1 red bell pepper, diced 1⁄2 tsp cracked pepper 4 tbsp. olive oil 1⁄2 tsp dried oregano 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional) 1⁄2 cup full bodied red wine 1 can whole tomatoes, chopped, juice reserved 1 pound fresh tomatoes, diced 1 can tomato paste 2 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt Saute onion, garlic and red pepper in the oil in a large pot for 5-7 min. Add the mushrooms, canned tomatoes with the reserve juice, add the fresh tomatoes, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Stir in the tomato paste. Sprinkle the sugar, salt, pepper, oregano and basil over the mixture, and place the bay leaves in the pot. Mix well, bring to a boil, lower to simmer, add wine slowly stirring in well, (take a moment at this time to enjoy the aroma of the spices, tomato and wine infused together) cover and cook about 2 hours. Remove the bay leaves before serving. If you feel the need you may add more wine, my Nan (Nona) never measured....ENJOY ����������������������� �������������������������� �����������������������������

Keeping it Reehl Advice, recipes and stories by Georgiana Reehl HALLOWEEN is upon us again... You know what? We have been making jack o’lanterns at Halloween for centuries, it actually originated from an Irish myth, a man named ‘stingy jack’ Well! here’s an interesting story..... This matey named Stingy Jack had invited the Devil to have a drop of brew with him, and of coarse true to his name, stingy jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin so that Jack could pay for their drinks. So the Devil did, Jack then decided to keep the money and placed it with a silver cross in his pocket so that the Devil couldn’t change back into his original form. Later on Jack set the Devil free under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one whole year.....and that, should Jack kick the bucket, he wouldn’t claim his soul. The next year, Jack again tricked the devil into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of fruit. While the Devil was up the tree, Jack carved a sign of the cross into the tree bark so the devil could not come down until the devil promised Jack not to bother him for ten more years. Well! later on down the road Jack kicked the bucket. As the legend goes - God would not allow such an unsavoury figure into heaven. And the Devil, he was real mift at Jack and the tricks he played on him and keeping his word not to claim his soul, he would not allow Jack into hell. he sent Jack on his way into the night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack carved out a turnip and placed the coal into it, Jack has been gallivanting around the Earth ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern,” and then, simply “Jack O’ Lantern.” You know in Ireland and Scotland, people made their own version of Jack’s lantern by carving scary faces into turnips and potatoes..they place them into windows near doors to frighten Stingy Jack away and other evil spirits. Some parts of England, large beets are used. Advertise your business in The Islands Marketplace and support a 100% locally owned publication. Call 537-2905 or 1.877-537-2905 toll free.

In experiments I come to conclusions which, if partly right, are sure to be in part wrong…always left with a tinge of humanity, evidenced by its imperfection…though in favorable cases I may see a good deal, I never see the whole.” Michael Faraday (Last lecture to the Royal Society, circa 1862) Michael Faraday was an experimental scientific genius of common origins who rose to become an exalted member of the Royal Society of England. He possessed an uncanny insight to strike to the heart of bewildering scientific problems almost by instinct. It was said that he “smelled the truth.” But perhaps the greatest measure of his mind and his wisdom was his everlasting and profound humility. That kind of invincible humbleness is rare in our world today. And, it is an unfortunate and sad fact. Examining the history and development of human thought and knowledge and the sometimes absurd and preposterous things that human beings have believed through the ages, surely humility, not arrogance or bravado are in order. Alongside of brilliance, technology and significant progress, there has also been colossal ignorance that passed as absolute and certifiable truth in our human world. Centuries ago humans believed the Sun to be a “chariot of fire’, a scarab beetle, a boat or Phoenix coursing across the sky. The earth was unquestionably flat. Five hundred years ago a small group of ridiculed and ostracized humans dared to insist that the Earth itself was not the center of the Universe. Such a monstrous and heretical idea threatened the very stability and power balance of human society itself. You and I today accept and know this startling revelation to be common truth. But back then the reverberation and reaction of this simple cosmological truth shattered and broke the conceptual matrix and womb of consciousness for all human civilization. It took generations and generations for human thought and society to recover and assimilate this basic truth. And nothing was ever the same again. OCTOBER 16, 2009 Jim Anderson is a writer living on Saltspring. He is working on a metamorphosis of the human mind. © 2009 by Jim Anderson, Saltspring Island We know today that the oppression, despair and abomination of the dark ages could never have evolved into renaissance and enlightenment without this devastating revolution and rebirth of a new human consciousness centered around those startling and revolutionary new ideas. Those incendiary ideas were the galvanizing force that lead the human spirit, soul and consciousness into a new world. But, perhaps the chaos that they manifested was simply the last chapter. Maybe the real revolution happened deep within the human chain of life where there was a secret and organismic spiritual awakening just beneath the surface that simply needed the vehicle of new and staggering ideas to break free and surface in our world. Perhaps in a much larger and more critical dimension this is what is really happening now in the chaos and catastrophic crisis we are living in today. Maybe what we are all waiting for is simply the last chapter in a secret and mysterious spiritual awakening and transcendence that is just beneath the surface in our modern world. Maybe we all are simply marking time in this insane, disintegrating and desperate world we live in until a new, radical and transfiguring idea is born. An unimaginably incredible idea that will shake our world to its roots and leave all order, power and control in ruins…after which nothing will ever be the same again. If this is true, you and I are in for monstrous and cataclysmic change the like of which dwarfs the earthquake of change that shook the ancient world of Geocentrism, Copernicus and the inquisition. Hopefully, this time around it will not take generations and generations to assimilate. We no longer have the luxury of that much time to waste. Somehow that revolutionary idea will come from the deep mystery of universe itself beyond our primitive, superficial and incomplete lives. In the process, the human mind and consciousness will evolve into a higher synthesis with the secret design of universe, itself. Those new ideas that are coming will help humankind finally reach a magnificent destiny. Perhaps at last and for the first time ever in all creation human beings will then reach beyond the imperfection and ignorance of today and know and understand the “whole.” And that most certainly will truly be a humbling experience. Until then we wait for an idea whose time has finally come, when the meek will finally inherit the earth. The Islands Marketplace CROSSWORD Puzzle answers are on page 19 of this issue.
