piece as a blatant example of “insensitive war
porn” versus defenders of free speech began
flooding the magazine’s website last week.
“This was an extremely emotional story to
work on,” said Clara Jeffery, the magazine’s coeditor, in an official statement following an initial round of comments from irate readers.
“The account of Cpl. Megeney’s death was
particularly poignant, but there were many other
stories in there of death and injury to soldiers
and civilians that are hard to read. But, in our
opinion, for the greater public to live in denial
about what happens in a war does a disservice
to those soldiers who serve and the civilians who
are affected.”
Patterson acknowledges Megeney family
members’ right to change their mind and be left
alone to grieve in peace, though he remains ada-
Just when you thought it was
a done deal, the British Columbia Transmission Corporation’s (BCTC) Vancouver Island
Transmission Reinforcement
( VITR) project met further
holdups this week when a Salt
Spring man renewed the fight
against the controversial plan.
John Quesnel has lived on
his Rainbow Road property for
11 years and owned it for the
past five. His land falls along
the provincial right of way
(ROW) and, as such, includes a
number of power poles.
Although Quesnel knew
about opposition towards the
VITR project, he didn’t get
involved because he thought
the project unstoppable.
That all changed when BCTC
recently installed the new
power lines on his property.
The poles, measuring 30
meters (98.4 feet) in height,
feature wires that hang just 9.1
metres (30 feet) off the ground
at certain points, Quesnel
said.
Worried for the safety of his
family, he contacted BCTC
on July 23 to inform them he
would no longer allow access
to his property. On July 28 and
31, Quesnel, along with neighbour John Magnus, denied
workers access to the ROWs on
their properties.
“This is sort of above and
beyond where I would ever
find myself except it is in my
backyard,” Quesnel said. “It

AFGHANISTAN ESSAY
Author centre of national controversy
Depiction of Canadian soldier’s death in Afghanistan
stirs censors’ scrutiny
BY SEAN MCINTYRE
Author Kevin Patterson stands behind his
essay outlining the daily reality faced by soldiers
and Afghan civilians despite two ongoing military investigations examining his conduct.
“The reality of the war needs to be made clear,”
Patterson said, during an interview from his Salt
Spring home. “Sanitizing writing is in itself grotesque.”
Patterson’s 7,000-word essay, published in the
July/August issue of Mother Jones Magazine,
gives readers a sense of the daily grind faced by
soldiers and civilians living in southern Afghanistan.
It’s not a pretty routine.
A section of the essay describes 25-year-old
Corporal Kevin Megeney’s final moments on the
operating table. The young soldier spent his last
breaths, Patterson writes, yelling for his mother.
Patterson acknowledges the article’s graphic nature and made sure to consult the family members of soldiers portrayed in the piece
whenever possible. Within days of the article’s
publication, however, criticism from some of
Megeney’s family members began surfacing in
their local newspaper in Pictou County, Nova
Scotia.
George Megeney, a spokesperson for the family, did not return messages left by the Driftwood
at his home in New Glasgow.

dren, so I guess I’m becoming an activist.”
BCTC reacted by serving Quesnel
and Magnus with a court order. On
Friday, August 3 BCTC was granted a
short leave order, which allowed the
court injunction to proceed in British
Columbia Supreme Court in Vancouver.
Yesterday ( Tuesday) in Supreme
Court, Quesnel and Magnus agreed to
a consent injunction stating they will
no longer impede any action and construction will continue.
Despite the setback, the company
is unable to sue the men over the incident, Quesnel said.
The court deemed “it was justifiable
for me to want to feel safe,” he added.
But the last-ditch effort to prevent
construction of the new power lines
has put the project further behind
schedule. It also cost the company an
additional $50,000.
If the project is not completed by
October 2008, the power supply of
the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island
could be jeopardized, said Thoren
Hudyma, a spokesperson for BCTC.
“It’s unfortunate that the Quesnels
have decided to block access that late
in the game,” Hudyma said. “This project has gone through a number of different regulatory processes.”
The provincial government granted
its Environmental Assessment Certificate in February.
“The project is deemed to be very
safe, clearly,” Hudyma added.
However, both Quesnel and Magnus
have their reservations.
“Every BCTC and B.C. Hydro thing
you see says stay 30 feet away from
the lines if you want to live,” Magnus
said during an interview last week.
“Now they’re putting three times the
power though the lines and they’re 30
feet from the ground. That speaks for
itself.”
In addition, Quesnel has been looking into information concerning the
corona effect, involving the ionization
of air close to a wire.
Hudyma said the corona effect is a
non-issue as far as BCTC is aware.
Quesnel will meet with his lawyer
next week to decide his next steps.
“By disputing this, it’s put so that I
have some rights,” Quesnel said.
The VITR project will see the current
138kV overhead transmission lines
replaced with a new 230kV infrastructure.

at least, the government
works. The schools are full,
and the economy is growing. But it is not clear that
order will endure or, in the
south, be achieved,” Patterson writes, several paragraphs after he describes
Megeney’s death.
“The fighting in Kandahar
is worse than two years ago.
The Taliban’s ranks appear
to be growing. Skirmishes
have reached the outskirts
of Kabul.”
Patterson’s intent, without advocating for either the
pro- or anti-war camps, he
said, is to make Canadians
aware of what’s at stake.
“People are disengaging themselves from what’s
going on,” he said. “There
is no obvious solution. In
real life, grown-up problems
sometimes take a long time
to solve and we cannot let
our attentions wander.”
“Denial of the cost is
obscene,” he added. “It may
be that the cost is worth it,
but you can’t make a decision without acknowledging
the cost.”
Patterson refused to comment on the two military
investigations conducted
by the military police and
Department of Defence’s
Health Services group.
Though he received his
medical training through
the Canadian Armed Forces,
he visited Afghanistan on a
voluntary basis as a civilian
contracted by the military.

is to determine whether he
released any information
about the treatment and the
measures that were taken
before Megeney was pronounced dead,” said Captain Cindy Tessier.

investigation, she added,
will determine if Patterson
violated his patient’s right
to confidentiality by releasing his name to the public.
Tessier could not say how
long the investigation will
take.
Patterson is the author
of several books and essays
including The Water in

sailing voyage to Tahiti, and
Consumption, a look inside
the history of an Inuit family.
He is a specialist of internal

Thrift Shop counting its pennies in contest
A contest unlike any other is underway at the Lady Minto Thrift Shop.
It all began when a regular customer
donated a large jar back in July.
Lady Minto volunteers began using
the jar to collect their extra pennies
and, before they new it, customers
were following suit.
The thrift shop is offering $25 shopping sprees to two lucky contestants.
They will award one to the shopper
who is able to guess how many pennies
it will take to fill the jar and the other to
the person who can guess when the jar
will be filled.
The winner in each contest will be
the first entry by date and time having
the correct answer.
Winners will be able to use their winnings for their choice of items on the
thrift shop’s shelves.
All pennies collected will go towards
the Lady Minto Hospital’s extended

CREEKSIDE CAMPAIGN
Cusheon Creek lot faces subdivision or preservation
Effort launched to save
Cusheon Creek rainforest
BY SEAN MCINTYRE
A local author is trying to sway island
residents to pitch in and help preserve
one of Salt Spring’s most environmentally pristine areas before it is subdivided and sold off.
Maureen Moore estimates the 7.5
hectares (19 acres) of Douglas fir and
cedar trees nestled along the banks of
Cusheon Creek may be worth roughly
$600,000, but says the land possesses an
environmental value beyond any monetary cost.
“This green valley’s moss-festooned
rainforest is stunningly beautiful on an
island where land is being destroyed
bit by bit,” Moore writes in a pamphlet
distributed to retailers, politicians and
community organizations.
“Ou r c h i l d re n a n d g ra n d c h i l d re n
need and deserve to inherit beauty and
mature trees that absorb carbon dioxide
and support life. We want to buy, covenant and preserve this land forever.”
The push to save the Creekside Drive
property comes after the owners submitted an application to subdivide the
property into four lots.
Moore said she has received “encouraging support” from various levels of
government and organizations, though
none have yet to step up with a financial
commitment.

Merchants rocked by
incessant gravel trucks
Worst may be
over, but problem
persists
BY SEAN MCINTYRE
Few places compare to
the Gulf Islands in the summer, but downtown Ganges’
store owners are concerned
the prevalence of loud dusty
gravel trucks are rocking
the island’s reputation as an
idyllic tourist destination.
“I’ve certainly noticed.
These trucks are a gigantic
pain,” said Doug Mitchell,
owner of the Ganges Garment Company in Grace
Point Square, straining to
make his voice heard above
the engines of four gravel
trucks parked outside his
store.
“The dust is rolling in and
ruining everything in the
store.”
Mitchell has grown accustomed to having anywhere
between four and six large
gravel trucks idling in front
of his shop by the time he
arrives at work every morning, but that hardly means
he likes it.
“They’ve turned this into
a parking lot,” he said, referring to the stretch of Fulford-Ganges Road between
the Coast Guard dock and
Centennial Park.“All we can
do is grin and bear it.”
Several times a day, from
daybreak until 2 p.m., the
trucks convene in front of
Mouat’s Hardware store to
await a fresh load of gravel
shipped in from Vancouver
Island.
The operation is part of
the $1.5-million effort to
resurface the worst of the
island’s pock-marked side
roads.
Sophia Vom Bauer, man-
ager of Sabine’s Fine Used
Books, said she understands
the deliveries are for “the
greater good,” yet cannot
comprehend why they must
be made during the middle
of the day in what is, predictably, the busiest time of
year.
“We don’t want to discourage the road paving, but we
are overrun with trucks,”
she said.
Vom Bauer said she’s
spent the past two weeks
fielding customers’ complaints about noise, dust
and a lack of safety as they
try to browse through town.
“It’s hard to determine,
but it definitely keeps people away,” she said. “People
are afraid to let their kids
run around.”
At Mouat’s Hardware,
manager Dave Griffiths estimates the store’s business is
down by roughly 15 per cent
because of the trucks.
With a rising Canadian
dollar and security restrictions discouraging American visitors from making
their way north, arriving to
find their vacation destination filled with dust and
noisy trucks won’t encourage a return visit, he said.
According to Kyle Webb,
project manager for JJM
construction’s Salt Spring
repaving project, the majority of gravel shipments were
completed last week and
things will likely return to
normal when paving wraps
up by the end of the week.
Webb said the project took
an additional week because
of heavy rains in mid-July.
He recognizes residents’
and visitors’ cause for concern, but said the Coast
Guard dock is the sole place
where gravel can be unloaded in an efficient manner.
Until such a time as resi-
dents demand politicians
and planners develop an
alternate loading site, problems are likely to only get
worse.
“My feeling is that because
the island is growing, this
kind of thing is going to continue,” he said.
“My feeling is that

Project Manager,

Not only do the shipments
increase congestion in the
downtown core, unloading
in Ganges means barges
must travel more than twice
as far to reach their destination from Vancouver Island.
Additional costs associated
with traffic control personnel, he added, meant the
company could only pave
half the roads the Ministry
of Transportation intended.
Webb could not say which
roads were scratched from
the list or how they were
selected.
Restoring the terminal at
Burgoyne Bay, he said, would
not only shorten the distance
barges need to travel , but
also cause minimal disruption to business, traffic and
tourists in Ganges.
“If there were another
spot available we would use
it,” he said, adding that the
creation of Burgoyne Bay
Provincial Park made that
option impractical.
ROAD MAINTENANCE
Province appoints mediator
to end employees union strike
Vince Ready facilitating talks
between employers and union
The strike between road maintenance
providers across the province and their
workers, represented by the B.C. Government Employees Union (BCGEU), got provincial attention recently as the Minister
of Labour and Citizens’ Services appointed
Vince Ready as special mediator.
Ready had previously been appointed
by the Labour Relations Board, but the
ministry appointment is “somewhat more
detailed,” said ministry spokesperson Gordon Williams.
Employees of local road maintenance provider Mainroad South Island Contracting have
been on strike since late May. Other BCGEU
members have been on strike since April.
Ready has worked with some of the parties involved in the dispute in the past, but
not with all the contractors at once, Williams
explained. Both Mainroad and BCGEU met
with Ready a few weeks ago, prior to the
ministry appointment, said Mainroad’s
president David Zerr.
“Based on all of that, we’re hopeful this
week he’ll table a recommendation for the
parties on wage and term,” Zerr said.
Ready’s specific terms of reference include
inquiring into the current collective bargaining and disputes; providing assistance
to the parties; providing recommendations
for settlement if parties can’t agree on terms
within an acceptable time frame; and working with parties to discuss protocol, process
and other matters related to future collective bargaining.
The provincial government is hopeful
Ready’s appointment will help matters
along.
“[Ready] usually doesn’t get involved
unless he’s optimistic,” Williams said.
Mainroad South is in charge of roads on
the southern tip of Vancouver Island as well
as on a number of Gulf Islands.
Mainroad has been required to maintain essential service levels since the strike
began. Islanders most likely haven’t noticed
that big a difference in maintenance “largely
due to the fact our managers are doing a
fantastic job,” Zerr said.
However, BCGEU members have been
called out to ensure essential services are
met, for example following the storms a few
weeks back.
Across Mainroad South district, there are
five managers and 70 employees, Zerr said.
The company contracted out much of
the road resurfacing project that is currently
underway on Salt Spring to JJM Construction.

ROBERTSON II RESCUE
Owner determined to raise Robbie II
Calls on government to
preserve nation’s maritime
history
BY SEAN MCINTYRE
The new owner of a 130-foot heritage schooner seeks government help
to raise a treasured part of the nation’s
maritime history.
“If the government isn’t going to
jump in, I’m going to be the owner of a
really big boat I cannot afford to keep,”
said Drew Clarke, who acquired the
Robertson ll from Roy Boudreau earlier
this month.
Clarke said he hopes the provincial
government will contribute funds to
help store and rebuild the vessel if it
is raised off a reef near Saturna Island
this weekend.
“Every once in a while, a great opportunity sails by,” he said.
“Here it is, delivered on a platter so
to speak.”
“With a national treasure you just
fix it,” Clarke added. “How shallow are
we to not see a terrific opportunity to
do something special for the country?
This old boat is the very last of her
kind.”
The Robertson II ran aground early
on the morning of July 1 near Winter Cove on Saturna Island. Multiple
attempts to raise the 60-year-old Nova
Scotia-built wooden ship have failed
due to uncooperative tides and logistical problems.
Clarke, accompanied by a skilled
team of deep sea divers, master mariners, salvage operators and a professional house mover will begin their
next attempt early Saturday morning
in hopes the ship may be raised by the
end of the weekend.
“It’s a go,” he said. “The ferry
reservations have been made. We
have considered the condition of
the ship and refined our plan to the
essence.”
Clarke’s plan entails detaching a
piece of the ship’s broken keel, rigging
lines around the hull and inserting
airbags so the ship may be lifted off the
reef. When raised, he said, the ship will
be pumped out and placed in a large
diaper.
“It’s looking like the greatest challenge is getting all the people and all
the stuff in one place at the right time,”
Clarke said.
“This is not just like dropping the
dish towel and walking out the door.”
Once the mission is complete, Clarke
said, the ship will be transported to
a temporary storage site in order to
conduct necessary repairs on the tideravaged ship.
Clarke is negotiating storage fees
with shipyard owners and seeking gov-
ernment help to help pay the estimated $3,000-per-month charge.
Clarke estimates the effort has cost
him several thousand dollars in addition to the volunteer time he and his
“This is not just like dropping
the dish towel and walking
out the door.”

No matter the cost, Clarke remains
steadfast in his plans to raise the Robbie II.
“It doesn’t matter how many pieces
of wood the old girl needs replaced,
the vessel represents an era that was
absolutely marvelous in East Coast
history.”
Clarke said he hopes the Government of British Columbia may return
the ship, restored to her former glory,
to Nova Scotians as a token of strong
east-west relations.

Keyboards,
televisions and
monitor sightings
also skyrocket
BY SEAN MCINTYRE
New provincial regulations governing the disposal
of electronic waste means
there’s no longer any excuse
to hang on to that old computer gathering dust in the
corner.
Beginning August 1, designated recycling stations
located across the province
began collecting old computer monitors, keyboards,
televisions, fax machines,
printers, cables and even
mice.
“Canadians discard over
140,000 tonnes of electronics each year, which places
sizable burden on municipal
landfills,” said B.C. Environment Minister Barry Penner
in a statement released
when regulations came
into effect last week. “That
waste contains toxic metals
like lead, mercury and cadmium, which can end up in
surface and groundwater.”
“Because those materials
are valuable and reusable,
old electronics are often illegally exported for salvage to
developing countries with
very poor labour practices,”
Penner added.
With new regulations in
effect and through the cooperation of major electronics producers, Penner said,
such questionable activities
can be curtailed.
Salt Springers keen on
clearing their attics, sheds
and dens of electronic waste
can drop items off at collection facilities located in
Sidney, Duncan and Ladysmith. There are no immediate plans to set up collection
facilities on any of the Gulf
Islands.
Tom Watkins, manager
of the Capital Regional District’s Hartland Landfill, said
he expects the new rules will
help ease the burden on the
region’s largest landfill.
Thanks to the e-waste
regulations, he said, up to
two per cent of material collected at the Hartland site
can be put to better use.
Recycled electronics will
be transported to a facility
operated by Tech Cominco
in Trail, B.C.
Products will be sorted,
run through a shredder and
melted so that copper, gold
and lead may be extracted.
Glass, aluminum and steel
will also be recovered.
“As a regional district we’re
happy to see this material
be recycled,” Watkins said.
“It’s no longer a wasted
resource.”
The program is funded
through a levy ranging from
$5 to $45 applied to the purchase of all new desktop
computers, monitors, notebook computers, printers, fax
machines and televisions.
“The bigger it is, the higher the fee,” Watkins said,
adding that recycling stations will also accept “historic e-waste” purchased
before the program came
into effect.
“It’s no longer a
wasted resource.”

One Percent is now on the island. Low overhead and low
commissions so everyone can save.
Rental units independent of
Ganges Marina
It’s taken 14 years, but the Mariner’s
Loft project above Ganges Marina is
now up and running.
Most islanders have noticed the
recent baby blue paint job and massive staircase connecting the structure,
located on Lower Ganges Road near
the intersection of Park Drive, to the
street below.
But many may not know the project
is no longer associated with the Ganges Marina.
For many years, developers hoped
Mariner’s Loft would be built in conjunction with Mariner’s Walk, a project
that would sit along the Ganges Harbour shoreline in the marina.
“They were to operate hand in
hand,” said former Ganges Marina
owner and current project coordinator
Robyn Kelln.
However, proper building permits
could not be acquired and the project is now trudging ahead independent of Ganges Marina after another
former marina owner, Bill Beadle,
purchased the lot from Rick Barbieri
May 31.
The company is presently trying to
distance itself from the stigma of the
property’s former association.
According to sales director Randy
Legerwood, locals have approached
him and suggested that “people are
still having a problem with the project, [because] they are still thinking
it is associated with Rick Barbieri,”
he said.
“Boaters are not interested
one bit in our local politics.”
ROBYN KELLN,
Project coordinator
They are hoping once people realize there is no longer a tie between the
two, they will be more accepting of the
project.
Although concerned with Salt
Spring’s opinion of the development,
Kelln said locals are not the project’s
target buyers, adding “Boaters are not
interested one bit in our local politics.”
The building is currently being used
to house an information centre, which
Kelln hopes will eventually be accessible from the road via the new staircase,
the opening of which is being held

up due to to further building permit
issues.
The projects official opening will be
sometime in late August, Legerwood
said.
The building, which was built in
1962, will be torn down in favour of
a new structure housing six fully furnished, high-end quarter ownership
units, plus one penthouse.
Suites will average between 1002
and 1020 square feet.
The units will be accessed by owners via a new staircase leading down
to Lower Ganges Road, as well as
through the property’s parking lot at
the back of the property off of Rainbow Road.
As the disclosure statement has yet
to be filed, the cost of units is currently
unavailable.
However, Legerwood said 20 priority
registration agreements had already
been filed by Thursday.
The project is currently in discussion
with a local management company,
after which time the statement can be
filed, Kelln added.
Legerwood estimated 50 per cent
of the 24 quarter shares would have
to be sold before construction can get
underway.

JUST MAGIC
LOCAL THEATRE
Vandals claim responsibility
but don’t leave their names
Graffiti Theatre seeks restorative
justice for Tempest stage
damages
The vandals who destroyed Graffiti Theatre’s outdoor stage in Mouat Park came
forward to claim responsibility, but have
since disappeared without leaving a name
or number.
Two people called and left messages on
production manager David Baughan’s cell
phone claiming responsibility for tearing
apart the stage for this year’s production
of The Tempest, said Graffiti’s executive
director Amanda Spottiswoode Tuesday
morning.
“They were about to get found out so they
made the call, but they didn’t in fact leave a
number,” she said.
Baughan was able to identify the numbers
from where the calls were placed thanks to
his cell phone’s caller ID feature.
Although Spottiswoode and Baughan
originally agreed to work the situation out
through restorative justice measures, they
are quickly changing their mind as the
culprits continue to not respond to phone
calls.
“Making one phone call is not enough,”
Spottiswoode said. “Having done that we’re
still willing to forgive them, but they have to
take responsibility for their actions.”
Local RCMP are currently trying to contact the individuals involved. They believe
two or three people were responsible for
the incident, which occurred July 30 and
saw sections of the hand-carved wooden set
kicked down and hacked apart with an axe,
as well as drapes torn down, mirrors broken,
the changing area toppled and a portable
washroom flipped.
One of the people to come forward is a
minor, another is 18 years old, and the age of
the third is unknown, said RCMP Corporal
Kerry Howse Tuesday.
Cpl. Howse said individuals have until Friday to come forward, at which time charges
will be laid.
“We, as a group, would like very much for
them to take responsibility for their actions,
make restitution in the form of actually paying back in cold hard cash for the time of the
people [involved in fixing the set].” Spottiswoode said.
Spottiswoode estimated material damages totalled about $500.
“It’s not the monetary things. It caused a
lot of emotional damage to the entire cast.”
In addition, if drugs and alcohol were
involved, Spottiswoode would like to see the
vandals undergo counseling.
“The theme of the play is forgiveness,
we’re willing to forgive, but they have to take
some responsibility,” she said.
The stage was repaired for last week’s
shows. Graffiti Theatre’s outdoor production of The Tempest plays three more times,
Thursday, August 9 to Saturday, August 11.
Tickets cost $15 and are available at the
ArtSpring ticket centre, 537-2125.
Anyone with information about the vandalism should contact RCMP at 537-5555.

TOURISM
Visitor drop due to ferry fares?
Communities
serviced by two
ferries see biggest
drop
The number of visitors to
Salt Spring dropped in the
first six months of this year,
countering a province-wide
trend that saw a rise in tourism elsewhere.
And while Salt Spring
Chamber of Commerce
president Perry Ruehlen
says it’s impossible to determine why the number of
visitors dropped here, she
noted the same is true for
other communities dependent on ferry service.
“It’s an interesting fact
that our average is lower
than Vancouver Island and
Vancouver Island is lower
than B.C.,” she said.
Visitor statistics for January to June on Salt Spring
show a 3.5 per cent drop over
the same period last year.
Vancouver Island was down
2.7 per cent, while B.C. was
up 4.4 per cent.
“Out of curiosity, I also
asked for first-half stat comparisons for Gibsons and
Gabriola Island,” Ruehlen
said, noting these are the
only other communities that
require travel by two ferries from the mainland, and
keep visitor centre stats.
Gabriola Island, which
maintains records during
the summer months only,
was down 23.6 per cent
this June compared to the
same month last year, she
said.
And the number of visitors
to Gibsons dropped 24.8 per
cent in the first half of this
year, compared to 2006. At
the same time, the region
Gibsons is located in was
down only 1.3 per cent.
“Gibsons and Gabriola
have seen a huge drop in
visitors.”
Ruehlen said she normally uses pre-paid commuter tickets for ferry travel
and was recently shocked
to discover the cost for
travel between Crofton and
Vesuvius was over $50 for
a vehicle and four passengers.
“The cost of ferries keeps
creeping up and up, adding
to travel costs.”

Let the
doctor speak
“
The first casualty, when war
comes, is truth.” — Hiram
Johnson, California Senator
(1918)
It is not Dr. Kevin Patterson’s account of his six-week
term in Afghanistan, but the military’s reaction that should
be cause for concern for all Canadians shellshocked by the
federal government’s megalomanic attempt to become a
key player on the world’s military stage over recent years.
The Department of Defence’s decision to launch not
one but two investigations into the Salt Spring doctor/
author’s vivid account of a dying soldier’s final minutes
not only shows the military’s tragic misunderstanding
of the media’s role in a war zone, but its blatant attempt
to suppress the personal accounts from those brave
enough to make the trip and speak about their experiences.
As long as reporters are imbedded with troops or left
to hack out information from carefully construed press
releases obtained during highly orchestrated media
briefings, people on this side of the world — that is to say
the people paying for Canada’s
foray into one of the world’s most
dangerous regions — can expect
to see, hear and read few accurate
Media
accounts of life on the ground.
censorship
So it falls to Kevin Paterson to
recount his time in a Kandahar
Public
medical clinic and he is labeled
has a right to
an insensitive war sensationalist
and acquires a couple of military
choose
investigations.
Death is a sensitive matter and
ought be treated with respect,
yet the publication of Patterson’s work in Mother Jones
Magazine can hardly be deemed sensationalist or even
insensitive.
What better way to respect the passing of a fallen soldier
than by recounting the pains of war in one of America’s
most progressive magazines so we civilians can learn
that war is about more than watching laser-guided missiles destroy anonymous targets broadcast on television
screens across the country.
As of August 7, 66 Canadian soldiers and a diplomat
had been killed in Afghanistan. What began as Canada’s
humanitarian duty six years ago, has evolved into the
country’s largest military operation since soldiers moved
up Korea’s Kapyong River in 1951.
As attacks on Canadian soldiers and personnel increase,
that noble mission to give women a voice, feed hungry
children and provide farmers with alternatives to the
heroin trade has dwindled to only $10 million per year, a
fraction of Canada’s $5-billion war effort in that country
since 2001.
The mission to Afghanistan took a turn for the worse
long ago and it’s a blessing talented writers like Kevin Patterson are able to document where things went off track
and provide a glimpse at the wreckage.
Whether or not you watch is entirely up to you.
THE ISSUE:
WE SAY:
Bad management cuts short visits
BY GORDON AND GINNY LOVE
We have been travelling on the Gulf
Islands ferry as a weekenders for over 40
years.
Most of the trips have been enjoyable and without incident, besides the usual volume delays.
This summer, however, our weekends have been cut
short, or almost cut short due to bad management on the
part of B.C. Ferries.
On the July long weekend we were booked to travel on
the Bowen Queen Friday, June 29. One week before that
date we received a recorded message from
B.C. Ferries telling us that the sailing was
cancelled and to call the office to make other
arrangements.
After being on hold for over an hour (I dialled
at 9:45 p.m.) I hung up realizing that the office
was closed and they would have kept me on
hold all night.
The next morning I called back and was told
I could pay for a reservation between Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay at 7 p.m., but they
wouldn’t guarantee us a spot on the 9 p.m.
sailing to Fulford.
Nor would they send the ferry back for us if the 9 p.m.
was full.
I spoke to other ferry travellers later who were offered a
free reservation, but the person I spoke to made no such
offer.
We ended up travelling over on Saturday, cutting a day
off our weekend.
Another incident this past Friday, August 3 threatened to
cut several more hours off our weekend.
We had booked on the 6:20 p.m. Bowen Queen from
Tsawwassen to Long Harbour six weeks ahead
of time (June 18). We had arrived at the terminal at 5:10 p.m. (30 minutes before the reservation cut off time).
As the ferry was loading we got nervous when a van
pulled around and a ferry employee got out and began
counting the cars in our row.
The car in front of us was loaded and the employee came
to our window and said she was very sorry but there were
too many foot passengers on the boat.
She asked if we would like to wait for the 8:05 p.m. sailing
(milk run arriving at 10:35 p.m.) or would we
like to be re-routed through Swartz Bay on the
7 p.m. ferry, transferring to the 9 p.m. Fulford
sailing?
Surely with their computer system, B.C. Ferries knows when to cut off foot passenger ticket
sales.
This kind of an error should not be made.
Instead of inconveniencing those car passengers who had the foresight to make a reservation, perhaps they should have called back the
required number of foot passengers who had
arrived later.
By a stroke of luck they took one more car and that was
us.
I feel very sorry for the 10 or 12 cars that were left in the
line behind.
It is episodes like these ones that make us very nervous
about reaching our destination when we are scheduled to
do so.
The management needs to stop making these errors.
The writers live in Vancouver, B.C. and travel to Salt
Spring frequently.
VIEWPOINT
“This kind of error
should not be
made.”

STEPHEN MCINTYRE,
L A N G L E Y, B . C .
Don’t give
up rights
It has reached our ears
that the incorporation group
is making noises about Salt
Spring Island having another referendum to try once
again to convince islanders
of the benefits of incorporation.
I’d like to make note of a
couple more reasons of why
not to incorporate.
We are presently residing in Lake Country, a small
rural community very simi-
lar in nature to SSI, in the
interior of B.C.
This community has
about 10,000 population and
relies heavily on an tourist
and agricultural economic
base (as does SSI). About
10 years ago, Lake Country
became incorporated.
It is now has the second
largest municipal debt in all
of B.C. — Vancouver being
first.
What?
How does this little tiny
community get into such
debt? Well, for starters, the
new councillors and mayor
decided they needed a
$1,000,000 office building to
house themselves and their
multiple minions and they
pay themselves exceedingly
well.
What do they do, you may
ask. First, they designed a
new community plan. And
then what happened? They
decided that it was out-dated and needed some revisions.
Oh, and what were the
revisions? There were many,
including the permits given
to the “2020 group,” a large
scale development consor-
tium. It has plans for luxury
resort/condo development
complete with its own mini
village and gated community on Okanagan Lake,
where the rich could retire
and live in luxury. (Sound
familiar?)
The original community
plan had elements such as
“preserve the natural, rural
environment”; “preserve
the friendly small town
atmosphere with access to
facilities for all sectors of the
populations to enjoy”; “preservation and conservation
of the wilderness areas that
are the main attraction to
the area”; “water and watershed preservation, etc, etc.”
(It’s very similar in wording
to SSI’s own original community plan.)
The latest outrage proposed by the municipality
bylaws and re-writers of the
community plan is this: All
waterfront properties with
private docks must remove
these docks (except, of
course, for the ones deemed
“legal.”)
Naturally, as with SSI lake
front owners, many residents rely on the lake for
their domestic water source.
Imagine if all the owners were now required to
eliminate their docks even
though they need the docks
to service their water pumps
and water supply!
How cruel and unfair is
that?
What I’m saying to SSI
residents is this: think long
and hard before giving up
your rights.
The CRD and Islands
Trust may not be perfect
but there certainly isn’t the
same room for corruption
and self-serving interests as
there are when a mayor and
city councillors are elected
in an “incorporation.”
At least with the existing
forms of local government,
islander voices are heard as
well as voices in the larger
region and there is more
chance of solutions being
sought for the good of the
locals.

Proud and independent: signs of a Salt Springer
My rapture hit me at the Chatterbox Cafe,
over a cup of coffee as thick and black as
coal tar. For those of you scratching your
heads, the Chatterbox Cafe was located
more or less at the present Saltspring Nature
Works location. Fifteen years ago, you could
feel the heartbeat of Salt Spring Island at the
tables of this little cafe.
I was served this cowboy coffee by a small
handsome woman with short spiky hair and
a nose ring, accessories considered fairly
garden variety these days, but 15 years ago,
it was borderline outrageous.
But it wasn’t the hair or the ring that
took my breath away — it was that look in
her eyes. Proud. Independent. Defiant. I
recalled that I used to own that passion,
back before a corporate life in Victoria eviscerated the best parts of my soul. I sensed
that if I renounced my sins, and became
a Salt Spring pilgrim, maybe, just maybe,
some of that defiant independence would
return. And that’s how I came to live here.
It is a signature gleam that separates Salt
Springers from those who merely own a
house here. The gleam bespeaks an indefinable attitude. It is why the northernmost
part of the island is called Southey Point. It
is why we have a guy who fabricates massive

their bones.

Shari Macdonald was the waitress in the
Chatterbox Cafe — the waitress with the fire
in her eyes. The waitress that in a thunderbolt moment put me on Salt Spring Island.
Shari isn’t a waitress anymore. She is one
of Salt Spring’s best photographers. Her
photos often grace the pages of this newspaper, and she is a regular exhibitor at Galleon’s Lap and Salt Spring Books. The thing
with her work is that the same defiant independent energy bursts through the images.
It’s what makes her work great. It’s what
makes Shari a Salt Springer.

here even if you hate to hear
(are frightened by) what I’m
saying.
One good thing about getting older is that I have no
illusion about “unlimited
time” anymore.
Another is that I am able
to make commitments that
I’ll keep because I’m no longer distracted by my own
whims, or about what other
people think of me.
For me this is it, every day
counts now and I answer to
myself and to the children
whose future my actions will
effect.
The book that dragged me
out of my profound state
of disconnection is called
“A Language Older Than
Words,” by Derrick Jensen.
Thomas Berry says about
the book, “The primordial
language of the universe is
the language expressed in
the night sky, in the dawn
and the sunset, in the flight
of the eagle; it resonates in
the song of the meadow lark,
in the fragile bloom of the
orchid . . . the mountains,
the valleys and the rivers . . .
and this book.”
Derrick Jensen takes the
reader on a trip deep into
the human consciousness
and deep into the planetary
crisis, and tracks the one
alongside the other — moving metaphor into reality —
using his traumatic childhood as the personal thread
that weaves these strands
together.
He then invites us to be
as honest (about our fears,
confusions and feelings of
helplessness) and as deeply
reflective (what am I really
willing to do for the survival
of this planet and its children) as he has been.
We all know, somewhere
deep in our being, that we
will have to justify, if only to
ourselves, what our life has
been about.
If you think you’re ready
to really look out there…
and really look in there, and
to be brave enough to move
beyond your false hopes and
illusions into personal commitments, I would highly
recommend Derrick’s books
for inspiration.
If he can be as brave as he
is, so can I be as brave as I
can be.

What’s next?
I see in the latest Driftwood that the same people
who have helped insure
that Salt Spring doesn’t
have full cellular phone
service are now busy making sure that the modest
416 watt plan for a Salt
Spring radio station goes
nowhere as well.
In their quest to ensure
that the hypothetical dangers from distant radio
signals don’t affect anyone
on the island, the self-appointed guardians of our
safety have already succeeded in leaving many
island residents open to the
danger of not being able to
reach emergency services
because cell phone service
is not available on many
parts of the island.
Now they are after a
small radio station struggling to provide a new service to the island. What’s
next, a ban on all electrical appliances because of
the electrical fields that
surround wires and even
small devices like flashlights?
DON GAINOR,
S A LT S P R I N G
Review aims to improve governance
BY GEORGE EHRING
The most recent addition
to the letter-writing campaign
from the Islanders for Self
Government, another missive
from Alix Granger, includes
this statement: “The purpose
of the process [meaning the
Trust’s governance review]
was principally to seek public
approval for the election of
two additional trustees from
Salt Spring on the grounds
that the current two trustees
were overworked.”
A casual reader could easily
mistake that for a fact.
The Trust’s governance
review was undertaken to
improve governance throughout the Trust Area, not to deal
with our workload. An important part of that review was to
consider political representation on the islands – especially
the under-representation of
Salt Spring Islanders.
With roughly 40 per cent of
the population and land mass
of the Trust Area, and providing a similar amount of the
Trust’s budget, we feel that we
should have more representation at Trust Council. We also
think that a greater diversity of
Salt Spring opinions and voices should be at the table, both
at our local trust committee
and at Trust Council. We got
the support of Trust Council
for that position, and now the
Trust is asking the province
to amend legislation to allow
that to happen.
For their own reasons,
Islanders for Self Government
(ISG) members think Salt
Spring should not have more
voices at Trust Council, and
oppose the expansion of your
political representation within
the Trust.
In a letter the ISG sent to
the Trust, the province and
the media not long ago, they
wrote: “Doubling the number of Trustees for Salt Spring
would in effect double the
costs associated with running
the Trust office on Salt Spring.”
Did they think that the Trust
would double the salaries of
all the local staff, or hire twice
as many people? I’ll grant you
that two more trustees might
generate a little more hot air,
INRESPONSE
but would they double the
rent or use twice the electricity? An unfounded assertion
like that is either ridiculous
propaganda or just plain lousy
math.
Members of the Islanders
for Self Government have also
told you recently that if Salt
Spring island were to incorporate, the new municipality would fill all the potholes,
paint lines on the roads,
buy land and build affordable housing, solve all the
issues around enforcement
of bylaws, write parking tickets and eradicate crime. All
this, and your taxes would go
down, too.
Back in the real world, the
Ministry of Transportation is
spending about $2 million to
repair or resurface 20 kilometres of roads on the island this
summer. That’s almost the
sum total of the amount of tax
revenue the Trust collects on
Salt Spring. We have 300 kilometres of roads on the island,
many of them in a state of bad
repair. But the ISG wants a
municipality to take on that
responsibility and have you
pay for it – along with many
other things.
Then, from the have-yourcake-and-eat-it-too department comes their oft-repeated
opinion that Salt Spring could
incorporate without having
much of an impact on the
Trust. You can only believe this
if you believe in their kind of
arithmetic. Try this at home:
reduce your income by 40 per
cent and carry on with business as usual.
The ISG likes to point to
Bowen Island as the example
of an island municipality within the Trust. Bowen is wellgoverned, and why shouldn’t
it be? They hire capable
people and elect good representatives. The Bowen Island
Municipality, with a population of under 4,000 people,
has a staff of 22 full-time
equivalent employees – not
including a number of additional outside contracts – and
they’re hiring more. One of the
Bowen trustees estimated to
me that a Salt Spring municipality would need a staff of
about 65-75 people. What was
that about lower taxes?
Peter Lamb and I ran on a
platform to improve governance, to strengthen the Trust
and Salt Spring’s role in it.We’re
working toward that goal. If
Ms. Granger and others like
her think that we’re working
“largely [on] activities which
are not in the legal mandate
of the Trust” (as she wrote), I
remind them that the Trust’s
provincial mandate is “to preserve and protect the Trust
Area and its unique amenities
and environment.”
In my opinion, that
includes working with the
agricultural community to
develop an Area Farm Plan,
with the Energy Strategy Task
Force to find ways to reduce
energy use and the impacts of
climate change, and with the
Ministry of Transportation on
road standards, scenic road
designations, pathways and
bike lanes. We’re working to
develop a watershed management plan for St. Mary Lake,
with local housing activists on
affordable housing projects,
with the Ferry Advisory Committee, with BC Parks, and
with a whole number of other
community activists on areas
of mutual interest. Peter and
I see it as part of our responsibility to be involved in these
issues, and we will continue to
be throughout our term.
Let the Islanders for Self Government run their campaign.
They’re certainly entitled to
their opinions. I only hope
they’re responsible enough
to get their facts straight. If I
decide to run again in the next
election, I’ll be happy to have
the debate then with any candidate they might put forward.
But Peter and I were elected
with a mandate to strengthen
the Trust and not to pursue
incorporation, and believe me,
we have no intention of betraying the widespread public support that we received for that
position.

Island Trustee.

Karen Hudson, the Salt
Spring Island Conservancy’s executive director will
be stepping down from her
post in order to pursue a
graduate degree.
“She’s been integral to
everything the conservancy
has done in recent years,”
said Maxine Leichter, the
conservancy’s vice-president. “We’re so sad she’s
leaving. It’s going to be a
big transition, but she’s got
other career plans.”
During her tenure as the
conservancy’s executive
director, Hudson saw memberships increase dramatically as the group’s environmental programs succeeded
in reaching a broader audience. High-profile milestones
like the acquisition of Mount
Erskine and the eco-home
tour would not have been
possible had it not been for
Hudson’s energy, passion and
enthusiasm, Leichter said.
“She raised a lot of money
and helped save a lot of
land,” she added.
A new director for the conservancy will be selected after
board members have completed a series of interviews
with potential applicants over
the next several weeks.
The conser vancy was
established in 1994 in
response to growing devel-
opment pressures on the
island’s natural landscape.
Potential applicants can
inquire about the position
by visiting the Salt Spring

THE GANGES VILLAGE MARKET SOUVLAKI
Short cuts to cooking for one or two © with Sarah Lynn
Souvlaki: A Greek fast food (the hamburger of Greece) consisting of small pieces of meat and vegetables
broiled on a stick. The word souvlaki is a diminutive of souvla (skewer). Souvlaki may be served wrapped
in a pita with garnishes and sauces or it may be served on a dinner plate with salad and/or pilaf. The meat
can vary--lamb, pork, beef, chicken or even fish. Greek food is classic peasant fare. It is simple to prepare
and elegant in presentation, offering a wide variety of colours, flavours & textures. Cooking and enjoying
Greek food are acts of discovery. The experience is a simple yet a rich & flavourful journey through time.
Gr
Quarter and separate 1/2 red onion, 1 green pepper. Cube 1 lb. lamb, chicken, pork or beef. Divide into four portions. On
skewers, alternate meat and vegetables. If you like you can also add & alternate 3 cherry tomatoes per skewer. Set aside.
Combine in a bowl to form a marinade 1/4 c. red wine, 1/4 c. olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, 2 tablespoons
fresh lemon juice, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 3 tsp. oregano, 1 tsp. mint, salt & pepper to taste. Marinate
skewered meat and vegetables in a shallow pan in the refrigerator for at least two hours or, preferably, overnight.
Broil or grill skewered ingredients 7 min each side. Just before serving, brush with a little concentrated lemonade.
Brush 4 pitas with a little olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Place under the grill to lightly brown on each side and
heat through. For each souvlaki remove the skewer by rapping the pita bread around the souvlaki ingredients and pulling the
skewer out. Serve with a spoonful of prepared tzaziki sauce.

The Salt Spring Energy
Strategy is issuing island
residents a challenge and
the rules are easy:
Those among the group
of neighbours, fr iends,
family members or coworkers to achieve the
highest energy reduction
will be eligible for a prize.
Finishing touches on
what those prizes may be
are still up for discussion,
but that hasn’t stopped an
estimated 60 island residents from signing up for
the challenge.
“The idea is that every
one will set their own targets and try to find ways to
reach their goals,” said the
Salt Spring Energy Strategy’s Elizabeth White.
“Pe o p l e c a n s i g n o n
a s i n d i v i d u a l s, b u t w e
thought it would be more
fun if people got together with a group of friends
to discuss ways to reduce
their energy use.”
Group members can
share ideas on what works
and what does not at regularly scheduled group
meetings, White added.
The Earth Festival Society is looking for a volunteer coordinator to help
launch the program before
the challenge begins in
earnest this fall.
By visiting the B.C. Hydro
website, participants will
be able to track their past
energy usage in order to
help set goals to reduce
t h e i r a v e ra g e k i l ow a t t hours (kWh) per day.
An energy checklist
outlining ways people
can reduce their energy is
available on the Salt Spring
Energy Task Force website.
Among other items, the
list includes information
on how to reduce the energy consumed by household lighting, appliances,
heating and hot water systems.
It includes a special section of energy-efficient
renovation ideas.
Registration forms are
available at Salt Spring
Books and the Institute for
Sustainability Education &
Action (I-SEA).

RANDOLPH PARKER
Artist
In Under the Dome, he
describes the importance of
giving the mountain peaks a
real feeling of solidity without making the painting
top-heavy, as they rise into
the sunlight.
Once the feeling of earth
is there, the flowers are created using lots and lots of
brushwork, in what Parker
calls an “implied texture.”
Light in the Valley, at 36
by 60 inches, is probably
enough to take up one visit
to the gallery on its own, as
is Under the Dome at 48 by
36.
However, as Parker pointed out, his small sized pieces (created especially for the
show) at 5 by 7 and 6 by 8
contain just as much detail,
volume and depth of field as
the large format.
“The paintings themselves are really about taking a visual journey, and as
you start to travel they give
you lots of space to travel
in,” said Parker.
“No m a t t e r w h a t t h e
size of the painting, they
should be able to take you
through space into different areas.”

Pegasus Gallery’s 35th
anniversary celebration last
Saturday was a treat for art
lovers.
Salt Spring painter Randolph Parker was joined by
lino-printer Richard Calver
and carver Cicero August,
who all descr ibed and
demonstrated their unique
skills.
Holding court in the back
section of the gallery, Parker appeared to be a man
extremely satisfied with his
place in life.
Several of his landscapes
had already sold by the
early afternoon, and the
stream of admirers was
constant.
As Parker explained, his
satisfaction stems not only
from the well-deser ved
accolades, but from really
knowing his artistic identity and being able to grow
and expand within that
centre.
Parker described a youth
spent perfecting many
painting styles before he
finally found his true voice
as an artist, saying that
although finding his identity was a concern, “It’s the
most natural thing that
you do when you do find
it.”
For the past 15 years
Parker has been working on
and evolving his take on the
mytho-poetic landscape.
By this he means starting with actual landscapes
and adding elements of his
imagination to make the
paintings.
“They are from a location
but at a certain point in the
process, the painting tells
me what direction to take.
That’s the neatest dialogue
– what does it need to make
it better?”
Parker’s large-for mat
canvases are immediately
striking, featuring craggy
mountain peaks, alpine vistas, and fields of wildflowers
so finely rendered one feels
as though one could weave
right through the thickets.
For a painting like Light
in the Valley, which depicts
many different elements,
Parker applies a personal
technique to allow the eye to
travel through the scenery.
In this case, he painted
all of the land first and then
“flooded” the valley with
water from the top to bottom.

When you think sheep dog, you probably think giant fluffy canine. Or maybe you
think Shaggy Dog movie?
Well, that’s soon to change, thanks to the
band the Sheepdogs.
Adding a modern twist to the rock and
roll stylings of traditional influences such
as the Beatles, the Stones, Led Zeppelin,
Neil Young, CCR and the Kinks, the band
members are creating a stir in their home
town of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and
beyond.
And the name seems to fit, thanks to the
guys’ shaggy hair.
The Sheepdogs are Ewan Currie on lead
vocals, guitar and keys, Leot Hanson on
guitar and vocals, Ryan Gullen on bass and
vocals, and Sam Corbett on drums and
vocals.
The band opened for Matt Mays and El
Torpedo in Saskatoon, headlined a Junofest
2007 bill, and performed for a crowd of
30,000 at the Saskatoon Centennial Celebration.
Not too shabby, or should I say shaggy.
If you’re looking for a local connection,
drummer Corbett’s grandmother, Hetty
Clews, is a Salt Spring resident.
She knows there are a lot of easterners onisland who would like the music.
“All wise men come from the east, and the
wiser they are, the quicker they come.”
She encourages all islanders, but especially those with prairie roots, to “come and
enjoy some real Saskatchewan music from
this new and exciting group.”
Although rock and roll isn’t usually her
scene, Clews enjoys the band’s music. But
then again, she’s a little biased.
Another interesting fact: Corbett’s father
is well-known Saskatchewan jazz musician
Sheldon Corbett.
Check out the Sheepdogs’ Myspace page
to hear some of their tunes, www.myspace.
com/thesheepdogs.
The Sheepdogs play Barb’s Bakery and Bistro August 14. Tickets are $5. Doors open at
7:30. If you can’t check out Tuesday’s show, the
Sheepdogs also play Victoria’s Steamers Pub
(with the Racoons) on August 11.
COMEDY
Rosey-cheeked Chalmers
will take stage as Maggie
Opinionated Brit
gives Salt Spring a
piece of her mind
BY STACY
CARDIGAN SMITH
Maggie’s back on Salt
Spring and no topic is offlimits.
Local comedian Arvid
Chalmers reprises his role
as British coffee shop gossip
monger Maggie on Sunday,
August 12 at ArtSpring.
“It’s my one woman show,”
Chalmers said.
Topics this time around
include B.C. Ferries, the war
in Afghanistan, Islands Trust
and erectile dysfunction.
“It’s just her particular
way of looking at it,” he said
of the show’s topics.
Maggie has been around
for about 15 years — much
before Robin Williams made
Mrs. Doubtfire famous,
Chalmers said.
“She existed before Mrs.
Doubtfire and I have no
doubt about it.”
Although Maggie has
been part of Chalmers’
schtick for many years, last
November marked her first
solo appearance. She has
since played on Mayne and
in Mexico.
Chalmers, a Salt Spring
realtor, has been doing
stand-up comedy for 25
years and was a founding member of the island’s
Hysterical Society. Together
with Sid Filkow, Chalmers
has toured to Ontario and
been heard on CBC.
Maggie allows Chalmers to touch on subjects he
wouldn’t normally speak of
as a man.
For example, his joke
about lesbians, douches,
vinegar and fish and chips
might otherwise get him
thrown off stage.
The character also allows
him to vent about some of
Salt Spring’s less desirable
traits, such as Islands Trust
bureaucracy.
“At the Islands Trust we’re
not happy until you are
unhappy.”
And of course, Salt Spring
guarantees a plethora of
great material: “This island
is a cornucopia of weirdness
that you can easily transport
to stage.”
Maggie (played by
Arvid Chalmers) takes the
ArtSpring stage on Sunday,
August 12 at 8 p.m. The
show is not suitable for children. Tickets cost $15 and
are available at ArtSpring,
537-2102.

GUILD EXHIBIT
Painter’s Guild shows off talents
Several paintings
stand out
Sa l t Sp r i n g Pa i n t e r s’
Guild’s recent show Impressions featured the entire
range of painting techniques
and styles by amateur and
professional island artists.
From landscapes to
abstraction to portraiture,
in oil, acrylic and watercolour, the painters offered
examples of their best work
at ArtSpring’s gallery space.
With so many artists represented, the show was a real
opportunity to get to know
the artists among us.
As a bit of fun, the Painters’ Guild handed out forms
for visitors to choose their
top three favorite paintings,
but I for one found this an
almost impossible task —
works were so different in
style and subject matter that
it was difficult to compare
them to each other.
However, there were many
that I found very appealing
and worthy of mention.
A trio of well-placed landscapes by three different
artists — Deirdre Tessman,
Margaret Chisolm and Margaret Briggs’ — immediately
captured my attention as
I entered the gallery. The
blues of Briggs’ oil painting
of mountain and sea were
set off very well by the golds
and greens of the paintings
to either side.
Tessman’s impressionist acrylic painting Rhythm
makes use of red and gold
highlights to make the vision
“pop” with its vibrancy.
Two very different versions of landscape on exhibit were Diane Mortenson’s
The Daffodil Fields and Jack
Avison’s Nightfall Mystery.
Mortenson uses acrylic
paint and collage to create
three dimensional texture.
She works from “colour
m e m o r y,” c re a t i n g a n
impression of the landscape
rather than a realistic one.
Her Daffodil Fields are built
up in a corrugated line in
rich yellows, while the sky
and water are a deep blue.
Avison, working in deep
purples and blacks to suggest a
Elizabeth
Nolan
ARTBEAT ROCK
ON THE
night-time forest, and soft blue
for water and sky, achieves a
fine sense of the mystery his
title describes. A glint of white
here and there suggests a hint
of rooftop in the trees, reflecting moonlight.
Working with the human
figure, Sheila Hoen had two
interesting pieces in acrylic.
Young Man and the Window centres on the “languid pose” of the young
man on a sultry afternoon.
The colours are not at full
saturation, which adds to
the feeling of torpor, and
yet this piece is anything
but stagnant. Hoen creates
dynamic movement in the
positioning of the limbs and
blocks of colour, which radiate from the centre, while
blocks of patterned swirls
reminiscent of batik print
also provide movement.

ic although also featuring a
figure in repose. This piece
has sharper lines of delineation than Young Man, and
some brighter hues in pink,
blue and peach. Both pieces demand more attention
than first glance.
Another example using
the human figure as subject
is Wendy Wickland’s portrait Allison, which depicts
a woman playing clarinet.
Eyelids turned down, and
body and background softly
rendered, the portrait deftly
conveys the wonder Wickland felt in the musician’s
presence.

To some, it seemed like yesterday. But Fulford
Day began in 1988 when some south-enders
adopted a “Saturday picnic in the park” as a
summer event to foster local community spirit.
Self-reliance, cooperation and an emphasis
on family activities have turned that dream

into a satisfying day-long celebration. This
year, Drummond Park plays host to the event
on August 11.
Although the organization and location
are Fulford-centric, Fulford Day unites and
welcomes all Salt Springers. It couldn’t have
achieved its success and longevity without the
generous attendance and sponsorship of our
537 telephone prefix neighbours.
Free children’s games and races, with lots of
prizes for participants, begin the organized
events at 10:30 a.m. and continue till lunch.
The day’s stage entertainment gets a huge
kick-off at 11:45 a.m. when Valdy sings and
strums for an hour of songs directed at all the
music-loving kids, sure to be filling the strawbale seating.
A roster of surprise and returning local artists
(introduced by MC Valdy) will keep the music
coming until 6 p.m.
The barbecue begins serving hot dogs at
11:30 a.m. with the salmon, beef and Ruckle
Farm lamb starting at noon.
Children’s activities continue with bingo and
face painting at 1 p.m., corn shucking at 2:30,
watermelon eating at 3:00 and the cake walk at

“Across from the Visitor Centre”
BY ANDREA RABINOVITCH
Salt Springers love their talented
youth and last Tuesday at Artspring
that support knew no geographical
borders.
Four young men from the Berklee School of Music: Lawrence Fields
(piano), Godwin Lewis (alto and soprano saxophone), Dan Carpel (upright
acoustic bass) and James Williams
(drums) received the Salt Spring love so
well known by our own young people.
And it was well deserved.
Attracting the most talented, committed, and ambitious students, the
Berklee program, with access to top
industry musicians and teachers, celebrates such alumni as Quincy Jones
’51, Bruce Cockburn ’65, Branford
Marsalis ’80 and Melissa Etheridge ’80.
Count these four young men as
future potential Emmy winners and
world- renowned musicians as well.
The Berklee Monterey Jazz Quartet,
with no one over the age of 23, indi-
vidually, has played with major artists
already. Their concert of original compositions by band members and jazz
standards fired up the stage with their
phenomenal skill and energy.
“Matterhorn,” Field’s own composition, started off the two-set evening
with a lovely piano solo that raised
story lines and pictures in the imagination.
The ability to translate an emotional
journey to sound evoking images is
one of my criteria for a great player
and composer. What followed in the
composition was a showcase of blistering jazz at breakneck speed driven by
Williams on drums.
Williams used the drums like an
instrument that was not only meant
for rhythm but for melody, bringing a
richness and depth to the sound.
Playing with ease, his technique is
sterling but it’s the music in his head
and heart that will propel him far in
the industry.
A sultry ballad and impassioned duet
between Fields and Lewis on Thelonius
Monk’s “Round Midnight” highlighted
the musicians’ copasetic alliance.
On Lewis’s own composition —
nameless because, as spokesman Fields
laughingly suggested, the greatness of
it warranted no name — Lewis created
a mid tempo swing that included a
wash-of-sound bridge or segue leading
to an outside race to the finish.
It was here that their youthful energy
shone with fingers moving lightening
fast and the physicality of the playing
soliciting a kinesthetic response.
Third year student Carpel’s solid
support shone in a sublimely tasty and
musical solo in “Bye Bye Blackbird”
that truly sang.
Salt Spring Island was the first leg of
the Pacific Northwest tour that will see
them performing in Seattle, Washington, Portland, Oregon, and San Jose,
California. In the first set, it took them
a while to relax into their solos, something that I’m sure will not be a problem by San Jose.
Field’s humble and gracious betweensong-patter thanking Salt Spring for its
kind reception and adulating about
the natural beauty, brought home that
these were nice kids with exceptional
talent, passion, and training.
Their lack of arrogance is another
sign that these are the real McCoys.

Amazones offer
Victoria workshops,
concert
Island drumming enthusiasts are heading off-island
next week to listen to the
beat of distant drummers.
That’s when the Amazones — an internationally
renowned all-female drum-
ming ensemble from West
Africa — will offer drum and
dance workshops plus a live
concert in Victoria.
“Fresh off a European
tour, these nine extraordinary West African musicians
and dancers have created a
major buzz everywhere they
have played,” states press
material.
“Placing master women
drummers front and centre
for the first time signifies a
brave new adventure, and
helps demystify the maledominated tradition.”
With dance and drum
workshops running in the
evenings, August 13-15 at the
Fairfield Community Place,
the series culminates in a
concert on Thursday, August
16 at the Victoria Event Cen-
tre (1415 Broad Street).
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and
tickets are $18.50 in advance
(online at www.1415broad.
ca) or $22.50 at the door.
The event is likely to sell
out so people are urged to
get their tickets early.
The Amazones can be
seen at YouTube: http://

100-Mile Diet authors to speak at ArtSpring
It’s hard to imagine what is more difficult, spending a year living off local
food or embarking on a nation-wide
book tour.
Vancouver-based authors J.B. MacKinnon and Alisa Smith have completed
the former and already published a
best selling account of their experience. The couple will finish up their
tour when they speak at an upcoming
visit to Salt Spring Island.
“James and Alisa remind us where
our food comes from and show how
difficult it is to find local food,” said
Brian Brett, the Salt Spring Island
author who helped organize the visit.
“They really go through all the ramifications of industrial food production.”
Poorer nutritional values, energy
consumption and devastated ecosystems are only the early symptoms of
the world’s inefficient food network,
Brett said.
Fortunately, MacKinnon and Smith
are able to weave a tale of conscience
with humour, adventure and irony.
Participants can expect to learn tips
on everything from hosting a local dinner party to surviving a “year without”
at the event.
The couple will read from The 100Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating and
answer questions from the public
when they take to the ArtSpring stage
at 8 p.m on Friday, August 17.
The event is sponsored by ArtSpring
and Theatre Alive! For more information, contact the theatre’s box office at
537-2102.

HAIRSPRAY - Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion —
dancing. Her dream is to appear on “The Corny Collins Show,” Baltimore’s hippest dance party on TV. Tracy
seems a natural fit for the show except for one not-so-little problem—she doesn’t fit in. Her plus-sized
figure has always set her apart from the cool crowd, which she is reminded of by her loving but overly
protective plus-sized mother, Edna (played by John Travolta!). That doesn’t stop Tracy because if there is
one thing that this girl knows, it’s that she was born to dance! Also stars Amanda Bynes, Michelle Pfeiffer,
and Christopher Walken.
SICKO - Acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore sets out to investigate the American healthcare system.
Sticking to his tried-and-true one-man approach, Moore sheds light on the complicated medical affairs of

ART TOUR
South end studios opened
A Fulford ‘alternative” offered
for art lovers
While Fulford Day puts south-Salt Spring
on the “fun” map this weekend, an open
studio tour of five south-end artists adds a
creative offering.
All five locations of South End Alternatives will be open this Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m..
Formed last year to give visitors and
islanders a taste of Fulford’s diverse talents,
South End Alternatives includes artists Ian
Thomas, Bly and Garry Kaye, Bill Rhodes,
Stefanie Denz, and Margaret Day, of The
Point Gallery
Each artist in this weekend’s open studio
event brings something different to the repertoire.
Tucked away in the quiet King Road area,
Thomas’ work stretches far beyond his rural
surroundings.
His current large, figurative paintings
confront the noise-filled realities of everyday, and are firmly placed in the context of
the 21st Century.
Living on a Reynold’s Road property
homesteaded by his grandfather, Garry Kaye
brings an artist’s eye to a profound love of
home and place.
This same warmth shines through in Bly
Kaye’s jewel-like collages.
Just round the corner, Stefanie Denz is
still celebrating her Beaver Point Road studio with an output of work that fills her
space.
Work ranges from fragmentary sketches
on scraps of wood to large dramatic works,
all with a sense of colour, line and composition.
Bill Rhodes has been exploring possibilities in Fulford since 1982. His latest sculptures bring dance into the great outdoors
and fill his Orchard Road garden with fun
and movement.
This annual open studio event presents
an opportunity to see each of these professional artists in their own surroundings,
plus the full range of their work, including
not-yet-exhibited pieces.
Those who need a map or want more
information about any of these artists
should begin the tour at The Point Gallery — over the little bridge on South Ridge
Drive.
Complementing the open studio tour,
The Point Gallery is exhibiting “Anthologies” by master printmaker Marc Siegner.
Best described as “visual poetry,” the prints
record a journey and represent the aggregate of Siegner’s studio practice.
Using litho, screen and chine colle, he creates textured, often multi-layered images,
whose commonalty is a riff on the divide
between interior and exterior.
Siegner has exhibited his work all over
the world and, as an instigator and long
time board member of successful artist run
co-operative ventures, has worked tirelessly
to promote a sense of community for the
artists of Edmonton. (A reception for Marc
Siegner runs on Sunday, August 26 from 2-5
p.m.)
MUSIC AND MUNCH
Latin music on tap at M&M
with three island favourites
Sanchez, Miller and
Boucher on stage
The sounds of South
America will be filling All
Saints church on Wednesday, August 15 when the
island band Chamigos
takes the stage at Music and
Munch.
The band was formed
two years ago when guitarist Alvaro Sanchez found
the right musical chemistry
with bass player Dick Miller
and percussionist Lauren
Boucher.
Their talents and enthusiasm for the Latin style
culminated in a repertoire
of fabulous and complex
rhythms and sounds.
Sanchez has played for
the lunchtime series several
times as a member of the
classical guitar trio Ma Non
Troppo, with the jazz quartet
Sweetwater, and as a soloist singing songs in Spanish
and Portuguese.
Perhaps it is because he
was born in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, where he studied classical guitar, that his
skilled playing expresses so
beautifully the music closest
to his heart.
As a percussionist, Boucher has vast experience in
playing Latin music.
He has studied and worked
with some of the best and is
in popular demand at musical events on and off the
island.
Miller has over 20 years
experience performing jazz
and bluegrass, so the leap
into Latin has been fast and
exciting.
Chamigos will play traditional and contemporary
music from Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Cuba — an
enticing musical spread.
Free music begins at 12:10
p.m at All Saints, followed
by a tasty, optional lunch for
$5.50.

One local doctor continues to give back
to both the local and medical communities
even after his death.
When long time Salt Spring resident and
doctor James (Jim) Buchan passed away, he
set up a trust fund for Gulf Islands graduates
pursuing a career in medicine. This marked the
third year the award was available to students.
The Buchan Scholarship is providing
some Gulf Island Secondary School (GISS)
grads with the financial help they need to
get through some of the busiest and most
stressful times of their lives.
Paul Campsall is in third year medicine at
the University of British Columbia (UBC).
He has yet to decide what kind of doctor he
wants to be, but is leaning towards general
surgery or internal medicine, or perhaps
family medicine.
He heard about the scholarship from his
mother, who, as a Salt Spring teacher, is “in
the loop.”
Campsall estimated his costs, including
living expenses, total between $22,000 and
$25,000 annually. This year, he received
enough to cover them all.
“I’m obviously very grateful, and it’s amazing how generous the scholarship is,” he said.
Campsall added it’s one of the most generous scholarships out there.
Erin Bergsma is another GISS alum receiving the scholarship. She is currently com-
pleting her first year residency in internal
medicine at a hospital in London, Ontario, a
task which requires her to work four 30-hour
shifts per week.
“It’s a long haul, but it’s going well so far,”
she said of the journey to becoming a doctor. She also graduated from UBC.
Although the scholarship is somewhat
less for students completing their residency,
Bergsma is still grateful as doctors don’t make
a lot of money until they’ve completed the
program, which can last from two to six years.
“We have no other incomes, really, we just
have debt and a line of credit.”
She echoed Campsall’s sentiments about
the scholarship.
“The scholarship’s very generous,” she
said. “I’ve actually found it to be one of the
more generous scholarships out there.”
GISS counsellor Maggie Allison said the
award has the ability to open doors for some
students.
“It’s a powerful message for any student
that is considering medical school, because
the tuition at medical school is well over
$20,000 and it’s [the scholarship] a big chunk
of change,” Allison said.
The amount available to students varies each year depending on the amount of
interest accrued on the principle amount
Dr. Buchan left, as well as the total number of recipients. To qualify for the Buchan
Scholarship, a student must be enrolled in
an accredited medical school.
The Buchan Scholarship also provides
one $500 scholarship annually to a GISS
graduate going into the sciences.
For more information, contact GISS counsellor Maggie Allison at 537-9944 ext. 227, or
mallison@sd64.bc.ca.

Laurie & Nancy Hedger
For those without enough
time in the day to cook up
a meal and wash all those
greasy dishes, Rose Vasile has
a solution — keep it raw.
Vasile began eating mainly raw foods as a way to lose
weight nearly six years ago.
In addition to losing over 50
pounds, her food allergies
and digestive problems disappeared as her energy and
mental clarity improved.
“I saw noticeable improvements to problems I’d
been having for years,” she
said, during an interview
from her home in Courtenay.
“As we see things happening with the health of the
nation, people are looking
much more closely at what
they eat.”
Having just finished a three
month tour through the province’s interior, Vasile will host
a raw food demo at Thrifty
Foods in Ganges on Friday,
August 10 between 11:30 a.m.
and 4 p.m. Those who want
a more hands on lesson can
sign up for Vasile’s Uncooking Class on Sunday, August
12 at the Salt Spring United
Church on Hereford Avenue
from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.
For $25, participants will
learn how to prepare some
of the more popular dishes
in Vasile’s latest recipe book,
Uncooking with RawRose.
Once the meal — featuring smoothies, pate, avocado boats, stuffed mushrooms and banana lemon
pie — is complete, participants get to dig into a full
raw dining experience and
feel the effects of the diet for
themselves.
“I want people to see that
there is more to raw food
than cold carrot sticks and
broccoli,” she said, adding
that no items on the menu
can be heated above 40 Celsius (105 Fahrenheit) and
still be considered raw.
Vasile received her training from Victoria Boutenko,
a world-renowned authority
on the raw diet. For information visit www.rawrose.
com or call Rose Vasile at
(250) 218-5162.

PEOPLE & COMMUNITY
COMMUNITY EDUCATION
New marketing director announced at Community Ed
Partnership programs set for fall
Salt Spring’s community education society has taken another step towards financial
self-sufficiency with the appointment of
Kathy Dryden as its first marketing director.
“Kathy was one of four very qualified
applicants for this part-time position,” said
Judi Francis, Salt Spring Community Education Society chair.
“Having a marketing director is an essential step in making the island’s Life Long
Learning efforts financially self-supporting.
Fortunately, a grant we received from the
Victoria Foundation made such an appointment possible.”
Dryden has worked with both daily and
weekly newspapers. At the Times Colonist
for six years, she was responsible for designing and implementing a “Newspapers in
Education” program used by 1,200 teachers
monthly.
She also served as publicity director for
the Peter Gzowski Golf Tournament in support of Project Literacy.
“That background, as well as the kind
of work she has previously done with notfor-profits, made Kathy a perfect fit for this
position,” said Francis.
Dryden’s duties will include preparation of
press releases and face-to-face marketing of
Community Education’s fall 2007 and spring
2008 offerings, plus provision of administrative
support for a fundraising drive set for this fall.
She will also explore the practicality of
the society offering, in conjunction with offisland groups such as ElderCollege, five-toseven day shoulder season programs open
to both local and off-island residents.

Tips for easy summer meals for Seniors
\It’s summertime and the
best time of year to enjoy
luscious and bountiful
fruits and vegetables
at local markets and
backyard gardens.
Seniors who are
preparing meals for
one or facing specific
dietary restrictions for
themselves or their loved
ones can benefit from the
wide variety of available
produce.
Canada’s Food Guide
recommends seven
daily servings of fruit
and vegetables for men
and women over age 51,
which may seem daunting.
However, if fruits and
vegetables form the focal
point of each meal, it is
easy to fill the requirement
and go well beyond. And
the sweet and savoury
tastes and easy preparation
makes summer eating
pure pleasure.
The following tips are
from the Top 10 Secrets for
Fun and Healthy Summer
Eating for Seniors, taken
from the Canadian Health
Network’s Healthy Eating
Website.
1. Too hot to cook?
Order Meals on Wheels
and have a salad and fresh
fruit along side.
2. Keep fresh berries
in the fridge to have with
cereal or a scoop of ice
cream or yogurt.

As the weather gets warmer,
it’s important islanders take
precautions when spending
time in the sun or outdoors.
“Most heat disorders occur
because people have been
overexposed to heat or have
over-exercised for their age
and physical condition,”
states the Environment Canada website.
Although everyone is at
risk during a heat wave,
some people are more at risk
including seniors, infants and
pre-school children, pregnant
women, overweight people,
people with chronic diseases,
people who play strenuous
sports or exercise vigorously,
people who work outdoors or
indoors in places where heat
is emitted (such as bakeries),
and the homeless.
Although Health Canada
says a heat wave is generally
considered three days of hot
days and nights, it is possible
to suffer heat-related illness
at any time.
The most common heat ailments are heat cramps, heat
exhaustion and heat stroke.
Heat cramps are painful
spasms usually in the leg and
stomach muscles that are
often accompanied by heavy
sweating.
Move to a cooler place
and massage and stretch the
affected muscles. Drink half
a glass of water every 15 minutes, advises Health Canada.
Heat exhaustion is worse
than heat cramps. With
exhaustion, a person may
sweat heavily but have cool,
pale or flushed skin.
A weak pulse, dizziness,
nausea, vomiting, exhaustion and headaches are other
symptoms, and body temperature may be normal but
will likely rise.
Move to a cool place and
loosen or remove clothing
and put on cool wet clothes.
Sip water slowly, about half

Hana Reipel also make a sweet picture as they walk through
Ganges.
a glass every 15 minutes, but
stop if nauseated. If vomiting
occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
Heat stroke, or sun stroke,
“is a severe medical emergency that can result in death,”
states Health Canada.
Body temperature is 103°
F or 39.4° C (as opposed to
normal temperature of 98.5°
F or 37° C), pulse is strong and
rapid and breathing is shallow and rapid.
Headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and red, hot
and dry skin (not sweating),
and unconsciousness may
occur.
Go to a hospital as quickly
as possible, and keep the person cool en route by removing clothing and sponging
with cool water.
Health Canada makes the
following suggestions to minimize heat-related illness:
• Stay out of the heat as
much as possible.
• Drink plenty of water and
natural fruit juices, and don’t
wait until you’re thirsty to
drink.
• Don’t drink alcohol, caffeine or large amounts of sugar
as they may cause fluid loss.
Very cold drinks may cause
stomach cramps.
• If you are outside, rest
often in the shade to give
your body the chance to cool
down.
• Wear a hat, sunglasses and
light, loose fitting clothing.
• Take plenty of cool showers often or wet your hands,
face and the back of your
neck.
• Use your oven and stove
as little as possible to keep
the home cooler and turn off
lights.
• Keep the shades drawn
on your home’s sunny side,
and keep windows slightly
open.
• Open windows at night.
• If you have concerns, get
help.
• Watch for cramping in
arms, legs or stomach, and
for feelings of mild confusion,
weakness or problems sleeping.
• Check on family, friends
or neighbours who are at
higher risk of heat-related illnesses.

FIRE PREVENTION
Fire program running
at terminal and on ferry
Gulf Islands firefighters have launched a proactive fire
prevention strategy this summer, aiming to inform visitors
and residents about fire risks unique to the Gulf Islands.
The project is a combined initiative headed up by Dale
Lundy of the Salt Spring Island Fire Department (SSIFR) and
Deputy Chief Mike Dine from Pender Island Fire and Rescue
(PIFR).
Dine’s group will park its vintage fire truck at the Swartz
Bay ferry terminal every Friday until the end of September
and offer information about safety precautions and responsibilities to travellers heading to the Gulf Islands.
Also on Fridays, the Salt Spring crew, under Lundy, boards
B.C. Ferries Route 9, which travels to Tsawassen, Pender,
Galiano, Mayne, Saturna and Salt Spring.
“They give a Fire Smart Powerpoint presentation right on
the ferry and then passengers can ask questions about their
own situation,” said Dine.
“The response has been fantastic,” he added. “We are
talking to hundreds of people every Friday.”
Dine said the challenge has been to get the educational
message out to visitors and non-residents who may not be
aware of the fire risks unique to the Gulf Islands. Prevention is
the key to avoiding another emergency like the 2006 Galiano
Island wildfire. The summer program has been made possible thanks to a grant from the Office of the B.C. Fire Commissioner. For more information call Deputy Chief Mike Dine
at PIFR Hall #1 250-629-3321 or (cell) 250-537-0101.

Disturbia
Disturbia doesn’t sound
like much: a PG rated
Hitchcock-aping
thriller
starring the smart-aleck
kid from Transformers as
a housebound teen who
slowly realizes his next door
neighbour is actually a serial
killer. No gore? No nudity?
Stupid jokes about YouTube?
And yet, Distubia somehow
turns out to be a tense,
exciting and frequently funny
little genre picture.
The story isn’t much,
naturally, starting off with
a terrible auto accident that
costs Kale (Shia LaBoeuf)
his father. A year later, a
depressed Kale punches out
his snarky Spanish teacher
and ends up con¿ned to house
arrest for two months.
Initially things don’t seem
so bad, but that only lasts until
his mom Julie (Carrie-Anne
Moss) takes away his ITunes
and XBOX 360. Thank God
a moving truck brings cutie
new-girl-next-door Ashley
(Gwyneth Paltrow lookalike
Sarah Roemer), who not only
swims in her teeny bikini a
lot but has a bedroom that’s
all windows.
In the midst of his daily
peeping Kale starts paying
more attention to another
neighbour, an older man
whose dinged blue Mustang
matches news reports of a
serial killer on the loose.
Ashley, in true spunky
sidekick fashion, ¿gures
out she’s being watched and
invites herself over. Before
you know it, Kale, Ashley and
comic relief Ronnie (Aaron
Yoo) are playing stakeout.
Anyone who has seen Rear
Window knows exactly what
is coming: lots of point-ofview shots from binoculars,
tense
home-invasion
sequences, and an ending with
stabby parts. But two things
save Disturbia from “lousy
teen thriller” syndrome.
One: Shia LaBoeuf. He
was the only thing that made
Transformers bearable, and
here as well his charming
Jason
Tudor
goo¿ness works perfectly to
deÀate the ridiculous goings
on. A friend of mine astutely
noted LaBoeuf is a mix of
Tom Hanks and Woody Allen,
the latter’s intelligent selfawareness tempered by the
former’s simple innocence.
This kid is gonna be a star.
Two: director D.J. Caruso.
This guy uses Disturbia’s
adherence
to
genre
conventions as a way to
deliver serious shocks to the
audience. He has a knack
for sucking you into thinking
you know exactly where a
scene is going, twisting it just
a little so you second guess
yourself, then doing just what
you thought he’d do with a
bang.
I haven’t had this much
fun being surprised by a
¿lm in ages. Disturbia is
a great brainless summer
movie, a perfect antidote to
all the overblown sequels
coming out in theatres at the
moment.

Seven boats take
part in annual
sailing
club event
BY SCOTT SIMMONS
S P E C I A L TO T H E D R I F T WO O D
The Salt Spring Island
Sailing Club held its Summer Regatta on Sunday,
July 29. Seven boats turned
out on a beautiful summer day for a series of
three short races in Ganges
Harbour.
It sounds so easy: three
short races in the harbour.
What could happen in
Ganges Harbour? Well, the
wind was blowing north,
east and west, and gusting
and shifting 90 degrees on
a moment’s notice.
Then there are always
the man-made obstacles
like the ubiquitous crab
traps. Aquila Mia picked
up two traps on its rudder
and Arlene Dashwood had
to dive in and send the
traps to the bottom.
(The traps that don’t
have weighted lines are the
worst — please don’t use
floating rope on your crab
traps, they are so easily
tangled on rudders.)
Sunday’s short races
were fun because of all the
action at the marks.
Greg Slakov put out huge
yellow markers, which
made a large diamondshaped course.
The first mark is usually
the toughest mark with all
the boats going around it
at the same time, hopefully
without hitting each other.
Some minor contact did
occur during the regatta.
The short races are also
a great workout, with
constant tacking, jibing,
rounding the marks, and
avoiding other boats.
It is non-stop action,
and I know one crew who
was stiff and sore the next
day.
A guest boat called
Impossible — whose
owner will be a Salt
Springer next summer —
sailed in this year’s regatta.
A Lindenberg 22, it really
goes, and once all the
systems are worked out it
will be near the head of the
pack. The nice thing about
the boat is at the end of
the day you can take it
home on the trailer.
The regatta even had a
birthday boy in the race:
Tony Burridge turned “29.”
He and his crew Yaap can
make Tinker (a Grampian
26) fly. We really missed
Dick Pattinson and his
Grampian.
At the end of the races,
sailors learned that David
Wood is buying a new boat
and selling Final Dash.
Hopefully, someone
from Salt Spring will buy it
and keep it here.
It was a great day of sailing followed by a scrumptious barbecue.

FUNDRAISING RUN
Running group preps
for Sept. Terry Fox Run
Islanders can get
inspired and in
shape
DAWN HAGE
D R I F T WO O D CO N T R I B U TO R
As islanders stride into
the hot, dry days of August
the thought of running or
even walking for 10 kilometres might be daunting,
especially for inexperienced
athletes.
But organizers of the
annual Terry Fox Run for
Cancer say now is the time
to start training.
To t h i s e n d , t h e y ’v e
launched a clinic with veteran runner Gary Brooks,
set to to inspire islanders
young and old to come out
and run.
“We were hoping to see
more runners at the event
this year,” said Brooks. “So
we came up with the idea
of a running group to help
people get started.”
The Terry Fox Run will
take place on Sunday, September 23, giving potential
runners six weeks to get in
shape.
Brooks, a long distance
runner for over 30 years, has
helped coordinate the Terry
Fox Run for the past two
years. He and Jean Southgate, chair of this year’s
event, came up with the running group concept to try
and draw out islanders who
have considered participating as runners but lacked
experience or confidence.
Brooks will launch his
running group this Thursday, August 9, and runners
of any ability, including
beginners, are welcome to
come out.
“We are focussing on the
needs of beginner and intermediate runners,” he said,
“but anyone can join in.”
“It will be basic training to
run the 10K, or the 5K.”
The clinics will take place
at the bus compound by the
Hydro field on Thursday
evenings at 6 p.m., “rain or
shine.” They will continue
once a week until September
23, but runners are expected
to do some work in between
sessions.
“We will run two miles
the first night,” said Brooks.
“And then we will add a mile
a week, until we get up to six
miles, or 10 kilometres.”
“The runners will have
to practice on their own as
well,” he added. “There will
be homework ”
Islanders are welcome
regardless of age, experience
or condition.
“We came up with
the idea of a running
lots of fun for both those
that join in the run and
those that stay behind to
cheer and support.
The running group is free
of charge.
For more information
about the clinic or the run,
contact Southgate at 5379507 or Brooks at 538-0263.

group to help people

GARY BROOKS
Terry Fox organizer
Brooks will talk about
conditioning, interval training and anything appropriate to the needs of the participants.
“It will not be intense,”
he assured. “I will see who
shows up and we will go
from there.”
Southgate believes the
Terry Fox Run is not only
an important fundraiser for
cancer but can benefit the
community as well.
“It is one of the few events
where you simply sign up
on the day; we don’t have to
raise a set amount of money
and people can just come
out to be part of the fun,”
she said.
“It is a great event for
the community and a way
to raise money for a very
important cause as well.”
Participants can sign up
from 9:30 a.m. onward with
the run set to start at 11
a.m. It takes place at the Salt
Spring Elementary School
field on Rainbow Road.
There will be a warm-up,
entertainment, food and
drinks, massage tables and

Six football players from
Salt Spring attended the 23rd
annual 2007 Simon Fraser
University Western All-star
Football Camp in mid-July.
This year the camp had
its largest turnout with 242
juniors aged 11 thru 14 and
seniors 15 to 17.
The only camp of its type
in western Canada, elite players came from as far away as
Ontario, Alberta, California
and Washington State.
Both seniors and juniors
participated in four days of
intense morning and afternoon practices leading to
a game series wrap up on
Saturday July 14th.
On the junior side, Salt
Spring quarterbacks Zack
Corley and Torin McIvor
demonstrated their prowess
by completing passes and
handoffs despite intense
defensive attacks.
Junior wide-receiver Luke
Hellicar made a number of
catches, including a “touchdown pass” from McIvor.
Fullback Aaron Hoffman
took a hand-off from Corley
and powered through the
defensive line, and kept on
going, gaining a total of 37
yards before being tackled.
Through Hoffman’s effort,
Corley’s offensive line scored
on their second try.
On the seniors’ side of the
field, local quarterback Ian
Barrett demonstrated his
game sense. His ability to
“scamper and break” when
he saw an opportunity led
to a 35-yard run as he confidently moved his offensive
line forward, leading to a
touchdown.
On another senior offensive line, fullback Sebastian
Banks received a number of
handoffs with his best effort
obtaining 25 yards before
being tackled.
SIMS and Gulf Islands
Secondary School
fall football seasons
begin in early
September.
Awards were handed out
at the end of the games and
Banks received the Most
Improved Senior Running
Back Award.
Also, two former Salt
Spring Island Middle School
(SIMS) students — Robert
Smith and his younger brother Jasper — were handed the
Most Valuable Senior Defensive Lineman and Most Valuable Junior Defensive back,
respectively. The Smith boys
now play for Campbell River’s Timberline Senior Secondary School, but still have
loyalties with Salt Spring.
These awards prove Gulf
Island students are very
capable of competing with
top players.
SIMS and Gulf Islands Secondary School fall football
seasons begin in early September. Contact coordinator
Shellie Barrett at 653-4645 for
more information. Practices
commence Tuesday, August
21 at 6 p.m. on the SIMS field.

SWIM TEAM
Stingrays swim fast —
smash personal bests
Marc Spiess swims
almost unheard of
eight best times
Salt Spr ing Stingrays
swimmers dived into the
regional championships last
weekend, taking on the best
swimmers on Vancouver
Island, vying for personal
best times and seeking
berths at the upcoming provincial championships.
The top three finishers in
each event qualified for the
B.C. championships, with
six Stingrays and both their
coaches capturing berths,
and an additional three
qualifying as either alternates or relay team members. (See separate story.)
Allowed to swim up to four
events at regionals — with
the top eight swimmers in
heats qualifying for finals —
the 43-member Salt Spring
team swam more than 100
best times (BTs) over the
two-day period.
The team also came
fourth in the standings out
of 13 teams.
“It was a weekend full
of great swims, smiles and
friendships exemplifying
the best parts of competitive
sport,” said head coach Kris
Isenor.
“The swimmers rose to
this championship meet
and swam their hearts out,
not only smashing their personal bests but also learning
how competitors drive them
to better themselves.”
Swimming an almost
unheard of eight BTs, Marc
Spiess (Div.5) competed
in finals in all four of his
events, just missing provincial qualification by placing
4th in the 200-m IM and in
50-m fly, 5th in 100-m back
and 6th in 50-m free.
Also swimming all four
finals and taking near-misses on provincial qualification were brothers Andrew
(Div.1) and Liam Sinclair
(Div.2).
Liam swam five BTs to
take 4th place in both 50-m
free and 50-m breast, and
grabbed 5th in 100-m free
and 50-m back. (He has
since earned a berth in two
events because one of the
medalists will not be attending.)
With 1 BT, Andrew took
4th in 100-m free, 5th in
50-m breast, 6th in 50-m
free and 7th in 50-m fly.
Swimming in three finals
and grabbing 2 BTs, Jordon
Kitchen (Div.2) nailed 5th in
100-m IM, 6th in 50-m breast
and 7th in 50-m back.
Div. 2 swimmer Larissa
Andrews swam 3 BTs to nail
5th in 100-m free and 6th in
50-m back, while Grace Morgan (Div.5) took 4th in the
200-m IM and 5th in 100-m
back, swimming 4 BTs.
Arlo Bryn Thorn (Div.5)
swam 4 BTs and took 4th
in 100-m fly. He also swam
finals in 50-m free (full
results were not available at
press time). An injury prevented him from swimming
in finals on Sunday, said Isenor.
In Div. 1 Nigel Bisnar
swam 2 BTs and placed in
the top eight in one event,
taking 4th in 50-m backstroke. Connor Budd (Div.2)
took 5th in 50-m breast;
while his brother Liam Budd
(Div. 5) placed 8th in 100-m
breast.
Also swimming in one
final, Alex Crandall (Div.5)
grabbed 8th in 50-m free
and swam 4 BTs; Emily Gix
(Div.5) swam 3 BTs, and
grabbed an 8th place finish in 100-m fly; Eryn Gix
nailed 7th in 100-m breast
with 1BT; Gabrielle Spiess
(Div.3) placed 6th in 50-m
fly with 3 BTs; Isabelle Spiess
swam 4 BTs and took 6th in
50-m back; DJ Lake (Div.7)
nailed 5th in 50-m free and
Shaye Unger grabbed 5th in
50-m back.
“The swimmers rose
to this championship
meet and swam their

6 DEATHS
Lomas, Reginald Victor
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing
of Reginald Victor Lomas on July 31st 2007 at the
age of 88. He died peacefully with Marjorie his
wife of 61 years, and his family by his side. He
will be lovingly remembered by all his family and
friends both in Canada and England. Reg was born
in 1919 in MacclesÀeld England where he grew
up. He served with the 2nd Division Royal Signals
from 1938 to 1945 in both Burma and India.In 1946
he married Marjorie and had three children, John
(Sharie),Nigel (Cathie) and Yvonne (Randy). Reg
moved to Victoria Canada in 1967 and his family
grew with the addition of 8 Grandchildren and 5
Great Grandchildren.
He had open heart surgery in 1971 and 1974 and has
been an inspiration to many in the way he lived his
life despite these health problems. He retired to Salt
Spring Island in 1976 where he has enjoyed the past
thirty-one years making many close friends.
Reg was an active member of the Royal Canadian
Legion and the Burma Star Association. Special
thanks are offered for the overwhelming support
from family and friends, as well as the doctors and
staff at Lady Minto Hospital, especially during these
last two weeks. Reg will be sorely missed. Funeral
services will be held at All Saints Anglican Church
on Salt Spring Island BC on Saturday August 4th
2007 at 11.30am, with a reception following at the
Brinkworthy Clubhouse. Donations in lieu of Áowers
may be sent to the Lady Minto Hospital Foundation
or the BC Alzheimers Society.
Donald H. Dabbs
September 21, 1921
to July 30, 2007
p
With much sadness, the family of Don Dabbs
wish to advise the community of Dad’s passing
on July 30, 2007 at Victoria General Hospital.
He has gone to join his beloved Hazel who died
August 12, 1998.
Don and Hazel retired to Salt Spring Island
in December 1986, where Hazel’s family
(Moulton) had lived for many years. Don was
a Professor of Horticulture at the University
of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon. He received
many awards during his teaching and research
career and one of his proudest moments was
when his peers acknowledged his contribution
to scientiÀc agriculture as a Distinguished
Agrologist in the Province of Saskatchewan.
He will be deeply missed by his family, brother
Merl Dabbs; son Don (Karol) Dabbs; daughter
Judy (Tom) Clark, granddaughter Shelly (Ron)
Iverson, great-grandchildren Corey and Kaylee;
granddaughter Christine (Vail) Paterson, greatgrandson Michael; son Bill (Kelly) Dabbs and
grandsons Dan and Scott.
A memorial service will be held September
1 at 2 p.m. in the Burgoyne United Church. In
lieu of Áowers, donations in Dad’s memory
could be made to Lady Minto Hospital or the
Bessie Dane Foundation.

This Week’s
Horoscope
by Michael O’Connor
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Taking time to play, be creative and for love continues as a central theme. Who do you love and
what do you love? Hopefully, your answer includes
loving yourself and taking care of your needs. When
these processes are active you will feel more loving
towards others and feel moved to care for their welfare as well, even if only via a feeling of connection
and a positive attitude. Patience with yourself, others
and life in general is ever ideal and especially so
now as Venus retrogrades toward Saturn, the planet
of contraction and delays. At best, Venus and Saturn
together spark ones interest and determination to
gather new tools and techniques. These may be for
the sake of play, sport, art and romance. Whatever we
do there is a ‘how to’ that can make your expression
and offering more rewarding. Aim for excellence.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Spending quality time at home and/or with family is
the call now. Perhaps you are engaged in hobbies
and home improvement or maybe simply enjoying
good company is your goal. ‘The times they are a
changing’ and you may find yourself in new territory,
literally and figuratively. In addition to more casual
conversations, interests in how you can diversify
your focus and talents for more satisfaction and/or
for more income, are likely. Creative intentions to
carve out your unique niche in the world and/or to
improve your base of operations are highlighted. Let
laughter and light-hearted attitudes flow as a source
of stress release and inspiration. All the while, keep
your eyes and ears open to good ideas, insights and
advice that spontaneously emerge. Nurture your
vision as you play.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
A flood of creative ideas are flowing in. Whether by
inspiration or desperation, you feel charged with
ideas. Going here and there, networking and keeping
correspondences with friends and associates alive
should be keeping you busy and active. The learning
curve is sharp these days and it includes letting go
of old ideas, perceptions, knowledge, self-concepts
and/or possessions, at least as much as accumulating new ones. Freeing yourself from a heavy load
somehow stands to be very liberating. This process
has been active for almost 2.5 years now and will
soon shift to a much more pragmatic focus. This
shift will include new modes of education, innovations and/or initiatives for you. What would be ideal
for you in terms of visions, directions and actions at
this stage of your journey? Reflect upon this and set
your sights with confidence and enthusiasm.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Creating a more stable foundation in your life is
on your mind. Plans about what is possible are a
source of inspiration. Acceptance that life equals
change will lead you in the right direction – forward.
Avoid leaning too much on the past. Sure, your
roots and past performances can contribute, but
the time has come to try new things and meet new
people. Imagine that there is already a script and
you are playing along and adding your own twists
and choices along the way, like good improvisation
requires. In other words, avoid worry as it is both a
negative affirmation of your worth and a vote of nonconfidence for the life flow. Breathe deeply and enjoy
each step of your journey lest you find yourself in the
future looking back wishing you had. Let go into the
creative flow with eager anticipation as the unfolding
mystery moves towards new adventures.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Taking new leads and initiatives are keeping you
busy. Your thoughts and actions are pointed to new
projects and prospects. As your ambitions mount so
too will your determination to break through existing barriers. These may be as simple as not being
aware of certain potentialities or it could be a limited
perspective and attitude on your part, or perhaps it is
certain relationship patterns. Determine what and/or
who is in the way. Accept that as you aim to expand
you will have to support your goals with more
discipline. Better strategies will be more important than
trying to accumulate more background knowledge. This
can imply better marketing or techniques or hands on
skills. While being open to advice, guidance and training
is good, do not lean on others. Put your heart into your
ambitions and take an active yet cooperative lead.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
A lot of creative juices are gestating within you. New
ambitions and assertions are culminating. Fortunately,
so too is the energy and determination to achieve your
goals. With Jupiter turning direct you will experience an
upsurge in your confidence. This is a very good time to
take positive action and build a momentum. Intend to go
strong especially through to the end of September while
Mars is in Gemini. From there you will know what is
worth continuing and if there are needed adjustments to
make. Trust that your efforts will pay off. Your enthusiasm
should build steadily over the next couple of months
in accordance with natural rhythms. Intend to balance
your focus between professional/social interests and
relational/personal realities for all around success!
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Meeting new people and making friends is a source of
inspiration now. You may also experience challenges
to expand your point of view and over all awareness
of reality. Positively, you will get a big perk from these
associations which may well include clubs, conferences,
festivals or the like, that will lead you to new realizations,
studies and creative expressions. We all have so much to
learn from one another and keeping an open mind is a
key to youthful vitality. Admittedly, too much intellectual
activity is often a hindrance to growth; yet when intuition
is included the balance breeds creativity and health. This
means learning to feel new ideas rather than reactively
defend what you do and do not know. Be open to new
people, ideas and realities.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You are now at a high point in your yearly cycle. Perhaps
you feel as though you are on the peak of a mountain. Of
course, if it is a high mountain it may be a challenge to
be there with the thin air, cold temperatures, wind and all.
How do these parallel the realities in your life? You want
other key players to know who you are, where you are at
and what you want. More importantly, ask yourself who
you are or can be or what you might do at this stage of
the journey? The choices are easier when you tune in and
trust your feelings and accept that you do have a destiny
and aim to follow it. We can choose to pursue our destiny
according to our will and desire; destiny is flexible and
you can choose to increase your luck, be open to more
opportunities and create new possibilities.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are creating some big waves these days. Hopefully, these are the sort that you and others can enjoy.
Sometimes the drama gets big. Knowing how to remain
centered and not add to the throws of the drama is a sign
of wisdom and strength. Life is about learning how to stay
cool in the heat and remain warm when it is cold. With
Jupiter turning direct this week. You will feel the urge
to take a few extra risks. Do you have a clear vision?
Meanwhile, other players on your stage may be posing
challenges. If you can recognize where they are coming
from – love or fear, you will be better able to handle the
situation. Most people come from fear, because they do
not know it and do not know how to come from love.
This is so partially because many current world leaders
teach them by their example. Let love and understanding guide your way.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Peeling away layers to expose a fresh skin is a natural
process. This implies limiting values, attitudes and
perceptions and certain behaviour patterns linked to
them. Alternatively, it also indicates the likelihood of
the desire and/or need for new knowledge. New facts
often require new perspectives, approaches, methods,
tools and techniques, sometimes even new rules
and laws. This trend is just getting under way so by
giving it some deeper consideration you may decipher
what they can actually mean for you personally and
for larger collectives as well. Making efforts to listen
to what others have to say and by entertaining new
angles you will win.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
The Sun is now in your solar house of relationships
leading you to entertain new possibilities. This can
prove to the beginning of more fun, play and pleasure.
You have perhaps come through a rather dry stretch
and it is time to lighten up and play more. Exploring
new people and places and perspectives will prove
energizing. There may be some challenges in the love
department but these can be overcome by your willingness to be open. Stubborn adherence to past patterns
and attitudes could spoil the party. At deeper levels,
these episodes could well prove to be sneak previews
of deeper realities that are just getting underway. This
means much deeper changes within you and your
relationships. With the right attitude and approach,
which includes patience and willingness, you will
move closer to all things and people and experiences
you truly want and need.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Making dreams reality is a big part of what makes life
exciting. Having a dream worth actualizing is the first
requirement. When dreams are deep and authentic they
can be nurtured to become visions. The key is to clarify
these and then to aim your focus clearly and follow
through with action. Sharing yours aims with those
who truly support you is helpful, yet convince yourself
and anchor your resolve within above all. Asking for
feedback or assistance is also a sign of wisdom. What
power plays can you make now and for the next couple
of weeks, let’s say? Are there areas where you can
improve your offering and refine your approach? The
time is right to take a few calculated risks. Outline your
dreams and goals and take some initiative with clear
intentions to follow through.
