Salt Spring Auto Service
Yokohama Armstrong Dunlop Firestone Hankook Good Year
Well it’s that time of year to sell the dirty old 4x4 and buy a summer cruising convertible or phat hog, right? Actually the grass is not
always greener in the vehicle pool, and this comes from experience.
Just recently we purchased a vehicle which we thought was a step
up from what we were driving, it was newer, cleaner and had all the
bells and whistles to “wow” us. Little did we know it was a wolf in
sheeps clothing...
I like to think I know better about buying used cars, but apparently this isn’t so. I have owned a few beaters in my day and I even
worked at an auto body shop in my early 20s. I was bookkeeper/receptionist/auto detailer extraordinaire.
Yes, when the numbers all balanced, I’d put on my coveralls and
start masking, vacuuming, pin-striping, buffing, scrubbing, washing,
wiping and my least favourite - cleaning off the overspray... I hated
that job - always more overspray hiding in places I’d never look and
the paint thinner is just not healthy for your nails, clothes or lungs.
As it turned out, after detailing all day, I’d drive home in probably
the dirtiest staff vehicle there. Never time to detail my own car.

The Power of One
Community Volunteer Fair
If you have been pondering the idea of giving back to the community by becoming a volunteer but don’t know where to start... this
is an event you will want to attend.
Making the Volunteer Connection on Saturday, May 29th, from
9 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Salt Spring Elementary.
The Power of One Community - Volunteer Fair will showcase
about 30 local community groups from 9am to 3pm. The event is
hosted by the Salt Spring Island Lions Club, Salt Spring Community
Education and Volunteer Salt Spring. The community is invited to
meet with non-profit organization, service club, art/cultural group or
individual/group groups dealing with the Environment, Community
Health and Safety, and support groups, to find out how they can
make a positive difference.
This event is free to the community and designed to help raise
awareness about the services, groups/organizations that exist on Salt
Spring Island, and encourage residents to find out how they can access the services these organizations offer and to reflect on how they
can get involved and give back to the community.
Evelyn Smith, event Chair feels “this is a wonderful opportunity
for people of all ages to put themselves on the right path when deciding where to volunteer some of their time on the community.”
Whether you are a retiree looking for something to do one or two
days a week or a middle-aged person seeking a place to volunteer
after work... there will be something at the fair for you. She also
stressed how important it is for high school students to find a group
or organization they will look forward to working with when finding
a placement for community service hours.
“Hopefully they will be able to volunteer with an organization
they have an interest in,” said Smith. Becoming active in the community is a great way to build self-esteem and really feel like you’re
making a difference for both yourself and other people, said Smith.
“Being a volunteer can be a very fulfilling experience.”
FREE CHILD SAFETY SEMINARS
In order to make this a family event the organizers have invited
street SMART KIDZ, a Comox Valley based organization that provides a website full of information on how to keep your children
safe. (www.streetsmartkidz.ca/) They will be presenting Child Safety Seminars for children aged 5 -15.
“Thanks to the Island Savings Credit Union (Salt Spring Branch)
sponsorship,” said Smith,”we will be able to offer the seminars for
FREE. PRE-REGISTRATION is required.
The seminars will cover such topics bullying, Internet safety and
teach self -defense techniques such as the back-pack toss (what to do
if inappropriately approached by an adult in a car). Other techniques
will teach kids how to avoid potential dangers on the street and at
home.
FREE ADMISSION AND DOOR PRIZES
Admission to the Volunteer Fair is free. There will be free door
prizes including a print donated by Robert Bateman, gift certificates
from The Rock Salt Restaurant and from Hastings House, a gift bag
of their own preserves and a beautiful book. The Lions Club will
also be cooking hotdogs from 11 – 2pm.
To PRE-REGISTER your child for a seminar please OR to find
out more about the Power of One Community – Volunteer Fair
please visit (http://members.shaw.ca/eesmith55/fair/) or contact Evelyn (eesmith55@shaw.ca) phone 250-931-1029.

Keeping it Reehl
O
By Chef Georgiana Reehl
f all the things that I cook, I think I really enjoy preparing
soup the most. A pot of soup is such a nice thing. It warms
you up and brings friends and family together. And it is really an
economical and nutritional meal. Even when you are scrimping and low on
funds, you can turn off cuts of meat, hambones, or chicken parts into a delicious gourmet meal with a little love, a few veggies and some well chosen
seasonings. There are thick soups like Bouillabaisse that are close to stews
and clear consumes. Russian borscht’s. Spanish Gaspachos. French Pot-auFeu’s, and the old standby, hearty chicken soup that will pick you up when
you are feeling weak and sick. Soup is enjoyed and has a national history all
over the world.
Back in the Iron and Bronze ages when waterproof containers and pottery were discovered, early Human Beings began boiling foods and created
new taste sensations. Foods that previously were toxic and inedible like
acorns, or animal bones became delicious additions to the human diet. More
than cooking over the fire in the air, heating foods and ingredients in a liquid
opened up flavourful and savoury dishes and the world of soups and sauces
began.
The word “soup” comes from the English term “sop”, which was the
bread soaked in the liquid. And the word “Restaurant” was first used in the
16th century in France, describing a concentrated, tasty and inexpensive liq-

Soup is Healthy
uid soup sold by street vendors called “restaurer’s.” In 1765 a Paris businessman opened up a shop specializing in “Restaurers” and the idea and term of
a Restaurant was born.
Speaking of the history of Soup, I always like the stories about “Stone
Soup.” That story goes that hungry travellers would come to a village carrying only an empty pot. The villagers normally were very reluctant to share
their precious food with strangers, but the travellers would fill the pot with
water and drop a big stone in it, in the center of town. Curious villagers
would ask and the travellers would say that they are making “stone soup”,
and it tastes wonderful, but just needs a little garnish...a little something
missing to improve the flavour. The villagers wouldn’t mind giving up a
little garnish, or something and one by one they would add their little bit each
until finally a tasty and nourishing soup would be made for all. In the Great
Depression a large and porous rock would be kept in the stock pot. On good
days when there was food the stones would absorb some of the flavour, and
on days when there was no food the flavour left in the stones would make a
weak soup...”stone soup”, that was still better than not eating.
Most of us are lucky enough here to have food to eat, but the story
of Stone Soup reminds me how people somehow get together and make it
through the tough times. In hard times a central pot of soup has helped people
survive and share nutritious and simple food together throughout all history.
Here is a soup recipe I have always liked.

This is what I was thinking...
Packing for a Trip...
It’s All About the Shoes
Packing,  this is such a personal thing.   Some people pack a couple days
before, some pack the night before and well me…. I do all the laundry put all
the laundry away and then maybe a hour or two before I leave I start packing.  It
gives me some kind of feeling like a fresh start on what I want to pack when I see
everything clean, folded and put away.
     I am going on a six day trip,  a trip that was totally planned for me as a
surprise (yes I am a spoiled brat).  It’s for my birthday – a day which I love to
celebrate,  I actually like to celebrate the whole month of April and I let everyone
know it’s my birthday.  My age doesn’t matter to me, I believe you are as young
as you feel.
     Back to the packing ordeal,  I pack so much stuff it’s unreal, I try to scale
down but I just can’t.  I have shoes that go with everything and I also pack for
the “what if “ days.  I was given a this suit case , a suit case that I think is a little
on the smaller side AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!  The look I must have
given,  the thoughts running through my head... all I can think of is “how many
shoes will I be able to take” 
I decided to enlist some help from the internet.  I was thinking to myself 
“I can’t believe there is a web site for this but there is - How to pack
a suitcase”.  So basically it gave me some tips I
watched an instructional video,  I checked my face
book, checked emails, looked up a new recipe on
The food network, and then decided I best stick to
the task at hand... Packing and no more distractions.  
So now I have an idea of what to pack, and how to do
it.  I’m still not going to put a single thing in the tiny, tiny
suitcase until a couple hours before leaving.  Am I the wiser
after I read the tips on packing ? Did I make more room
out of the suitcase?  Have I learnt how to pack is the
question….We will see tomorrow, but for now I am
feeling like my whole wardrobe can fit in the suitcase,
well maybe not the shoes…..

Pack Clothing
Step 1 Remember this order of operations: shirts on the bottom, then dresses (if
applicable), then pants.
Step 2 Stack tops, unfolded, by placing wrinkle-prone tops toward the bottom of
a pile and less easily wrinkled ones toward the top.
Step 3 Fold the sleeves in toward the shirts’ torsos.
Step 4 Fold the shirts in half from the bottom. You now have a rectangular
bundle of shirts; place it in your suitcase.
Step 5 Drape long dresses in the suitcase so that the ends hang over the sides.
Step 6 Place pants and skirts on a flat surface; fold each in half lengthwise.
Step 7 Stack pants and skirts on top of one another, with easily wrinkled ones on
the bottom and sturdier ones, such as jeans, on top. Fold the stack over,
so that its length is halved.
Step 8 Place your stack of pants and skirts on top of the dresses, then fold the
ends of the dresses over the pants and skirts.
Pack Accessories
Step 1 Roll ties loosely.
Step 2 Stuff socks in shoes. Pack underwear in mesh laundry bags or side
pockets to save space.
Step 3 Arrange each pair of shoes so that the heel of one aligns with the toe of
the other.
Step 4 Wrap pairs of shoes in separate plastic bags, and place them along
the border of your suitcase.
Step 5 Protect clothes from leaks by placing toiletries in a plastic bag.
Step 6 Pack essential toiletries in a carry-on bag. Include your
toothbrush, toothpaste, makeup, medication and other
important items.
Avoid packing money, jewelry, travel documents,
medication, keys and other valuables in your suitcase. Carry
these items with you.
This was from the website EHOW…..
So I say after all this “pack how you want!”
None of this is going to change the way I pack and I am
sure I will be saying on the trip “I FORGOT those shoes that
go with these pants!”……cheers

Island Spotlight
Salt Spring Island Gymnastics Club Car Wash at Country Grocer Last Saturday. They raised just over $550 towards the girls upcoming competitions in Delta & Garden city & some money for their
new suits. The girls just competed in Victoria last week-end and
all came home with medals. Two of the girls went to the Provincials
this month & did very well, medaling in all their events.
They practice at the Fulford Hall & welcome any inquiries.
“Thanks to Country Grocer for letting us be there. Also to all the people
who GENEROUSLY donated to have their cars washed & all the parents
of the girls who donated their time.” SS Gymnastics.

Saltspring Soliloquies
“Utopia”
250 miles north of our idyllic and serene Saltspring
Island lies another island that almost 100 years ago was
the site of a dream of an island utopia called “Sointula.” Immigrant
Finnish coal miners tired of the despair, exploitation and alcoholism
of James Dunsmuir’s man-eating coal mines gathered their wives and
children and took a leap of faith together. With relentless fortitude and
hope they carved from the wilderness a sanctuary of justice, humanity
and self-sufficient emancipation from the hate and oppression of an
inhuman world. 20 years of valiant struggle later under the brutal
pressure of capital, profit, greed, ignorance and human frailty that
dream collapsed in failure.
It is a story repeated again and again throughout all history. Dreams
of utopia, equality, freedom and perfect community self-destruct and
shatter against the rocks of cold, hard reality in our world. Thinkers
and dreamers through the ages. More, Owen, deChardin, Confucius,
Tolstoy…on and on. Hearts and minds captured once again and deep
in darkness, fear and oppression the dream somehow flickers to life
once again, only one day to shatter and fall into lost oblivion.
Will that dream never die? Again and again the cold realities
destroy it, and yet it will not die. Crushed and broken in an uncaring
and cold world. Buried seemingly forever beneath bottom line, greed,
power, exploitation and brutality it suffers and perishes. It is the way
it has always been. Yet it miraculously survives. Somehow.
“Might is right” may be the way things really are, but it is not
enough. It has never been enough. It is the way the world is, we just
cannot survive in it. Too cold. Too cruel. Something priceless and
incomparable missing.
And so even in hopelessness, agony and lost blackness. At the end.
Nowhere to go. It will show itself. In impossible despair, a single
voice quaveringly raised in song, and embattled and gasping souls
joining in. Trembling hands reaching out, finding connection, finding
community. Shoulders set together against impossible odds. One
becomes more. More becomes many. “Let’s try. One more time.”
And the human spirit stumbles courageously towards sunlight once
again. Gathering together against hopeless oppression and crushing
despair. Human life together around a dream. One more time.
You and I live today in a world once more careening towards
oblivion. The grand social experiment of “from each according to
his means to each according to his needs” in the East has shattered
and collapsed into desperate chaos and desolate, broken dreams. And
the vision born in revolutionary fervor for freedom, truth and justice
for all in the West is crumbling into spiritual bankruptcy, greed and
social disintegration. The cold, hard reality of a dark age of brutal
oppression approaches again.
Will it ever end? Why does that dream always fail?
Listen:
It is not a law of nature. It is simply what we do to each other. It
is a failure somewhere deep in the heart, soul and psyche of human
beings.
Maybe we should finally see this. The cold shattering reality is
that in this world we really do not care enough for each other. The
crushing force that finally destroys all beautiful visions of utopia and
dreams of “Liberte! Equalite! Fraternite!” is that other life on this
planet is never worth more than our own life. All we really know and
finally care about is our own personal and private lives. This is the
essence of all greed, brutality and inhumanity on earth. It is why the
dream always dies. It is the way it has always been.
And that merciless, terrifying and desperate oblivion will always
haunt us and destroy the human dream until we find an answer to that.
So that the next time in broken, lost darkness when the human spirit
lifts into song surrounded by impossible odds and the dream flickers
to life one more time…this time it will never die.
