SPORTS 

Sockeyes have shown lack 

of drive since Christmas 

BY MALCOLM LEGG 

S.S.I. Sea Products Ltd. 1; Port 

Alberni, 1. 

As the soccer season has wound 

down so have the flair and abilities 

of the Sockeyes, easily exemplified 

by the girls' 1-1 saw-off with Port 

Alberni. 

Prior to Christmas the Sockeyes 

were almost invincible with their 

only loss coming at the hands of the 

highly tooted University of Victoria 

squad. The Sockeyes combined an 

- excellent attitude, good practices, 

hard work and an excellently 

executed system of play in showing 

a class of soccer rarely seen in 

Victoria. 

But since the long lay-off over 

Christmas the Sockeyes have faltered 

badly, not only in their record 

(four wins, two losses and two ties) 

but also in their attitude and style 

of play. 

The inconsistency of their play 

is reflective of poor practice attendance, 

poor game attendance and a 

lack of drive, something the girls 

excelled in prior to Christmas. 

ONLY 11 PLAYERS 

Last weekend's game brought 

out many of these points as the 

Sockeyes travelled to Port Alberni. 

The team could only muster 11 

players off a roster of 18 for the 

game, plus one newcomer to the 

team for a total of 12 players. 

The local girls played well 

enough to gain the tie and actually 

held the lead most of the way on a 

goal from Shauneen Spence. That 

one goal should have held up but 

the team tired from 80 minutes of 

soccer, with no bench strength, 

and allowed a latei goal to create 

the tie. 

Gone are the Sockeyes' consistency 

and their winning ways, but 

most disturbing is the loss of their 

style of play. The Sockeyes have 

always been renowned for their 

excellent passing style and strong 

positional soccer. Somehow these 

have become something of the past 

as the team has begun to play the 

long ball and is content to rely on 

individual runs instead of teamwork. 

LACK OF PLAYERS 

But, once again, a lot of this is 

due to lack of player strength 

causing line-up shuffles. 

It has been a disappointing 

spring for the manager and coach 

of the team as they have tried to 

rekindle the spirit and style of the 

78 Sockeyes. 

Even so, there have been some 

bright spots: Janice Hull's solid 

play in goal; the steady play of the 

Sockeyes' defensive corps; the 

sparkling play of Shauneen Spence 

in offence; the rapid improvement 

of youngsters Lynn Spittle and 

Geraldine Hagan and newcomer 

Brenda Akerman; and especially

DOWN 

THE 

GUTTER 

with KEN COLLINS 

Our men's team did themselves 

proud in the B.P. A. roll-offs held in 

Duncan on Sunday. They placed 

second, just a mere 26 pins behind 

the winning team. Sorry to say that 

our ladies' team did not fair so 

well. Still, there's always next 

year. Here are the better scores of 

the week: Danny Bedford, 899; Leo 

Toutant, 775; Ken Collins, 752; 

Terry Jenkins, 767; Mike. Kelly, 

732; Alf Can, 738; Deanna Marleau 

709; Connie Kelly, 736; and 

Rick Paton, 731. 

We had 300 games from Ellen 

Carter, 309; Ken Collins, 316; 

Terry Jenkins, 312; Dan Bedford, 

304-324; and Connie Kelly, 316. 

The bowlers of the week were, 

for the ladies, Connie Kelly, and 

for the men it was Dan Bedford. 

With the roll-offs coming up in 

the various leagues here are a few 

pointers for you to remember. They 

can only help to improve your 

game. 

(1) Always concentrate don't 

daydream. 

(2) Hold the ball on the fingertips 

don't cup it in the palm of 

the hand. 

(3) Slow and easy does h 

don't rush your approach. 

(4) Smooth out your delivery.... 

don't be jerky. 

(5) Use the pendulum swing 

don't exaggerate the backswing. 

(6) Keep the arm close to the 

body....don't sidearm your delivery. 

(7) Deliver the ball beyond the 

foul-line and follow through 

don't release it too soon. 

(8) Toes should point directly at 

your target don't finish sideways 

at the foul-line. 

Good luck to one and all in your 

roll-offs.

GOLFING 

with Pat Doherty 

Herewith the report on the outcome 

of the Salt Spring Golf and 

Country Club's winter bridge tournament. 

Tournament chairman 

Audrey Allan reports another very 

successful and highly enjoyable 

winter schedule has been completed 

with 34 teams playingforthe 

club's Alice Hammett Bridge 

Trophy. This bridge tournament is 

held each winter, and benefits the 

ladies' section Improvement Fund 

for the Golf Club to the tune of over 

$400 annually, for which the club is 

eternally grateful. 

This year's winner is the Phyllis 

Henderson and Janet Saunders 

team with runners-up the team of 

Helen Shandro and Margaret 

Mayo. The highest score for grand 

slams was made by the team of 

Helen Insley and Flo Stewart, while 

the best score for small slams went 

to the team of Mabel Moore and 

Audrey Allan. 

At the wind-up coffee party held 

at the club on Wednesday. April 4, 

Charlotte Cooper, the women's 

team captain, presented the club's 

trophy, while Phyllis Henderson, 

last year's tournament chairman, 

presented the other prizes. 

Those presiding at the coffee 

table were the two lady members on 

the Golf Club board, Cass Black 

and Irene Hawksworth, and this 

year's winning team of Phyllis 

Henderson and Janet Saunders. 

OVER 60 ENTRANTS 

The golf end of our operation is 

stirring into life and as usual it is the 

ladies who are getting the ball rolling 

down the fairway. On their 

opening day kick off tournament 

on April 3, they have over 60 

entrants on what promises to be a 

real fun day. The 18 and the 9-hole 

ladies are involved in a mini tournament 

that will satisfy everyone. 

There are prizes for the closest to 

the hole, longest drive, low gross, 

low net, loan of a car for a year, you 

name it, you've got it. 

One only has to look at the fixture 

card for the year and compare 

the number of ladies' events to 

men's events to realize who are the 

swingers and shakers and movers 

around this club. 

The men have started play ing in a 

nine-hole golf club home and home 

tournament, the men from Prospect 

Lake have been to Salt Spring, 

and this week the men from Salt 

Spring travel to Ardmore. 

The annual general meeting was 

held on Thursday and after the 

usual meeting business, a motion 

wa^put to the members that they 

should entertain the idea of a 

curling rink being erected on club 

property. 

NEW MANAGEMENT 

Those who have been around the 

club will know that the coffee shop 

has been reopened under new management. 

Those delicious aromas 

that waft down cannot fail but to 

get your taste buds anticipating 

something extraordinary. The difference 

between this and going up 

to a closed coffee shop and mixing 

your own instant coffee is as night is 

to day. The lady responsible for 

these tantalizing aromas is Helga, 

who has all sorts of wonderful tasty 

dishes for your pleasure, and if you 

get lucky you may be there on the 

day she has the Black Forest cake. 

A new innovation is being tried 

out by Helga and that is Saturday 

dinners at the club. The first one is 

planned for April 7. The menu is 

tossed salad, Cordon Bleu, red cabbage, 

baked potato with sour cream 

and chives, apple pie, coffee or tea, 

and the price for all this is only $5. 

At that price you can hardly 

afford to stay home and eat. Reservations 

can be made for the dinner 

at either the Pro shop or the coffee 

shop. A happy hour will precede the 

dinner for those who wish to 

partake. 

The golf course is in probably the 

best shape it will be in all year, and 

we are fortunate indeed to have Bud 

as greenskeeper. 

Malcolm Robertson was the successful 

candidate for the position of 

club manager, and this cannot help 

but be a plus to the operation of the 

club where his knowledge of golf 

rules "and regulations cannot but 

help tyro club captains. 

We hope that everyone will participate 

in every club competition 

for which they are eligible, and we 

wish you all the very best golf season, 

and this may be just the year 

when you get it all together, and 1 

hope to be around when you score 

your first Hole in One.

Weekend jamboree to close 

successful soccer season 

BY MALCOLM LEGG 

The Intra-island schedule came 

to a close last weekend with its final 

jamboree of the soccer season. A 

successful season which started 

seven months ago with 70 to 80 

players wrapped up under sunny 

skies at Portlock Park. 

The season started with a record 

number of teams: Cosmos, Red 

Devils, Goblins, Wildcats, Hornets 

and Junior Canadians, and a 

record number of players ranging 

fromfiveto lOyears of age. 

The Canadians won thefirst jamboree 

in October and the Cosmos 

came up with the November version 

of this event. 

In February the Cosmos 

wrapped up first place in league 

play over the Goblins and by mid- 

March the awesome Cosmos had 

over-powered everyone to win the 

Coers Cup as well. 

But the final jamboree belonged 

to the Red Devils, coached by their 

master-mind, Lyle Brown, the Devils 

over-whelmed the Canadians 2-0 

on goals from Mike Brown and 

Mark Nordine, then nipped the 

Hornets 1-0 on Mike Browns'long 

shot and finally clung on to a 0-0 tie 

with the Wildcats to attain the 

ribbons. 

CLAIMED THREE TIES 

Probably the surprise of thejamboree 

was the Wildcats who 

claimed three ties and looked very 

competitive throughout. Jessica 

Speed, Joey Moger and Jennifer 

Anderson were stand-outs. 

The Canadians faired quite well 

behind their youth movement with 

George and Bobby Akerman playing 

very strong games. 

All the players were able to relax 

and enjoy a free pop at the games'

end. Reflecting on their season the 

boys and girls had a very full season 

of games and a lot of soccer fun. 

They have to thank their coaches, 

Dave Chase, Chuck Nelkin, Ray 

Stelter, Lyle Brown, Trevor Tamboline 

and Malcolm Legg who put 

in many hours teaching the players 

soccer skills and team-play. They 

also must thank the youngsters and 

adults who did an excellent job of 

refereeing. 

PRIORITIES 

And what's in store next year? 

The Soccer Association has laid 

down some priorities for the intraisland 

such as: 

1. A two-tier lay-out of teams 

with Division 1 having players 

seven, six and five years of age and 

Division II having players eight 

years of age and older, 

2. New uniforms for all the teams 

and shorts for all the players. 

3. Every month will include an 

I I-a-side match to prepare players 

for off-island play. 

4. Increased exchanges at this 

Walkathon 

to include 

bicycles 

New entrant into the world of 

walkathons is the bicycle. 

When the Lions stage their 

annual Walkathon on Salt Spring 

Island on April 14, the walkers will 

be preceded by cyclists. 

And the man who's making all 

the arrangements is not even a 

Lion. In charge of the cycle contest 

will be Bob Simons, of Fulford, and 

the Cycle Shop in Ganges. 

The bicycle event will take over 

from the chariots, which have been 

discontinued. Cyclists may be 

youthful and novices or ancient and 

long-experienced. They may ride 

two-wheelers or three-wheelers. 

They may be racing cyclists or 

plodders, but they are all invited to 

take part, says Simons. 

The Walkathon is the annual 

fund-raising project of the Lions. 

Major change this year is the 

starting time. Walkers will leave 

Centennial Park in Ganges at 10 

o'clock on Easter Saturday. Cyclists 

will leave a little earlier. 

There is one pre-requisite to 

riding in the Walkathon. All cycles 

must be checked out for mechanical 

defects before the start of the 

event. Checking will be at 9.30 am. 

In charge of the Walkathon is 

Les Ramsey.

to all trustees on the subject of 

assessment. Drawn up at Zacharias' 

request, the memo contains 

information on the assessment for 

school taxation in this district. The 

figures available as of December, 

16,1978 (prior to courts of revision) 

are as follows: Salt Spring and 

Galiano, *(800 students), 

$33,985,683; other * (200 students) 

$30,510,935. 

(*Zacharias' figures). 

ADVISES CAUTION 

Peck notes that "this 1979 

preliminary figures compares with 

a final total of $58,935,013, for 

1978" and advises "extreme caution 

on any use or quoting of these 

figures. As one example, the 

figures contain amounts for assessment 

on 'utilities' It seems 

obvious that the B.C. Assessment 

Authority methods of compiling 

these figures would need to be 

clearly understood before any conclusions 

could be drawn."

In response to comments on the 

pupil/teacher ratios at the two 

schools, Zacharias states that 

Fernwood has 15.47 to one and 

Pender 14.42 to one taking into 

account the .2 teacher replacement 

during the principal's administrative 

time. 

Referring to suggestions by 

other trustees that Pender's junior 

secondary program is economically 

unsound and should be discontinued, 

Zacharias maintains he is not 

concerned with such "veiled 

threats". He mentioned several 

alternative systems which could

women, she's not telling her age! 

Both Nep and Dorothy attend 

the Fender Post meetings 

faithfully every month, and take 

serious interest in the affairs of the 

paper. The annual meeting was 

held on March 28 in the schoolcommunity 

room. Nominating 

committee, Dick Tallman and Ruth 

Deaville, presented the slate of 

officers.

The Fender Islands Badminton 

Club has had a lot of fun and a busy 

year and is still very much enjoying 

the greatly enlarged space in the 

new school gymnasium area. To 

those who played for many years in 

the cramped quarters of the old 

hall, the new space takes a bit of 

getting used to in "running backwards"! 

Twice this season the Fender 

dub has visited the Salt Spring 

club and three times the Salt 

Spring club has come to Fender, 

the last time on Sunday night 

March 25. So far the Salt Spring 

club has proved superior in competition 

but Fender badminton players 

plan to change this situation 

soon. 

Thursday morning when the 

kids are in play school the young 

mothers get a chance to play and 

practice; others play Wednesday 

and Sunday evenings. 

The annual meeting was held 

on March 20 and Tim Appleby, a 

former B.C. badminton champion, 

will be president; Ken Clarke is 

secretary-treasurer. Team captain 

is Mrs. Val Melville. 

* * * 

Lion's Club on Fender Island 

has 30 members who do an awful 

lot of work. For example, the Care 

project, the Pearson Tree, contributed 

more than any other Lions 

Club in the district. 

Right now, it's the Easter Seal 

fund they are working on. All the 

money donated to this fund is used 

to help handicapped children. A 

camp on Vancouver Island for 

crippled children is supported so 

they can have their week at camp 

just as other children do in the 

summer holidays. 

Fender Islands school children 

have an opportunity each year to 

compete for the Wally Cunliffe 

Scholarship, which the Lions Club 

administers.

NDP policies outlined by Manly 

at informal meeting at Fender 

On the day before the announcement 

of the federal election, 

NDP candidate Jim Manly met 20 

Penderites at an informal coffee 

party organized by Andre Vasilev. 

The gathering, held at the Port 

Washington home of Mr. and Mrs. 

Edmund Morrison, was part of a 

tour the Manlys were making of all 

the Gulf Islands. 

Manly began by outlining the 

four basic concerns of the national 

NDP: adoption of a national industrial 

policy, Canadian control of 

resources and basic policy, maintenance 

of universal medicare and 

establishment of a fair prices 

commission. 

Responding to constituents' 

questions, Manly commented on 

subjects as diverse as agricultural 

policy, mortgage interest rates, the 

Canada Council, enforced retirement 

and pensions, milfoil spraying 

and nuclear development. 

The party's national agricultural 

policy, Manly said, is concerned 

with food self-sufficiency, establishment 

of marketing boards, and 

development of technologies like 

solar energy. 

Regarding mortgage interest 

rates, he said the NDP would 

like to see every financial institution 

set aside a portion of their 

funds for low interest loans. 

He also criticized the practice of 

"interlocking directorates" in financial 

institutions and corporations 

sharing directors. 

The NDP favours the Canada 

Council continuing as an independent 

body to fund the arts. Manly 

said, "I think it should have more 

money; it's not perfect but it is 

preferable to leaving arts funding 

to private corporations." 

While admitting the party 

hasn't a perfect record on 2,4-D 

spraying, Manly said he is against 

it and fellow members are also 

coming to the conclusion that 

spraying on lakes is wrong. 

"The party doesn't speak with 

a single voice on nuclear development," 

according to Manly. There 

are some powerful supporters in 

the east, notably in Ontario where 

the Pickering plant supplies much 

power. 

"But," he noted, "it is an 

evolving situation and more and 

more party members are seeing 

that it is not the answer " 

FLEXIBILITY 

Speaking on old age pensions 

and retirement, Manly stressed 

flexibility. He said the party is 

moving toward lowering pension 

age and advocated development of 

policies to allow progressive retirement; 

shorter and shorter hours 

to accustom people to retirement. 

At one point, Manly found 

himself defending marketing 

boards to someone who claimed 

they work against small producers 

and Gulf Islanders in particular. 

"I believe in family farms," 

Manly said, "and I also believe 

that marketing boards smooth out 

fluctuations in prices and try to 

maintain a reasonable return for 

producers." 

In conclusion, Manly stressed 

that the NDP wants to see a strong 

central government to plan the 

national economy but not to saddle 

local authorities with a "choking 

bureaucracy". 

Mike Clement wants out! 

* * * 

To move exclusion of Salt Spring Island 

Regional director for Salt 

Spring Island, Mike Cement, last 

week echoed islanders' views on 

transportation. 

The director was acting on the 

nearly unanimous call from islanders 

to oppose the inclusion of Salt 

Spring Island within the transportation 

tax area. 

Clement told his colleagues on 

the Capital Regional Board Wednesday 

that Salt Spring Island 

wants out. He gave notice that he 

will move its exclusion. 

He has not abandoned his 

principles, he told the board, which 

would have all the regional district 

included. Nevertheless, inclusion 

would work a hardship on the 

island, he urged. 

Driving with 

no insurance 

Mila Gorlanoff and Ethel R. 

Spencer have been given suspended 

sentences in provincial court on 

charges of driving a motor vehicle 

that was not covered by valid 

insurance. 

Mrs. Gorlanoff. 80. told Judge 

O.K. McAdam on Wednesday that 

she had simply forgotten that it was 

March 2 when she got into her carlo 

drive into Ganges. 

Mrs. Spencersaidthatatthetime 

she was stopped by police following 

the March I insurancedeadline,she 

was just driving in to town to pick 

up her license plates and have t hem 

installed on her car. 

Ronald Spencer, charged under 

the same section of the Motor 

Vehicle Act, pleaded guilty to the 

charge and was fined $250.

Students lacking in English Oxygen unit 

for Queen 

Writing skills dismay ministry after tests of storm 

Provincial assessment of writing skills in British Columbia 

schools has brought about some changes. 

In Saanich School District the 

school board has required that all 

teachers assess written assignments 

in the quality of their English 

composition as well as the 

subject on which they are writing. 

Provincial ministry of education 

has assessed about 9,000 students 

across the province. The analysis 

of accomplishment in English is 

not impressive, says the report. 

Ability in "written expression" 

at the end of secondary grades was 

extremely disturbing the ministry 

reported. Ability to write was analyzed 

and divided into a variety of 

skills including spelling, punctuation, 

syntax, fluency in ideas and 

association, proper selection of 

words, focus, tone, the ability to 

elaborate and other abilities. 

Grade 12 students, according to 

the government tests across the 

province, were satisfactory in three 

skills of the 31 assessed. 

ABOUT 50% 

Lower down the scale. Grade 

Eight gave cause for concern, in 

the ministry's own words. In the 

testing program, Grade Eight students 

showed satisfactory corn- 

VILLAGE SPECIALTY

All levels showed proficiency in

Before teacher went south 

They learned to love English 

No English, no nothing, said the new teacher and 

disobeyed every rule in the book. 

In weeks the school was well away in English. In 

months they were back on curriculum. They could 

now understand English. 

The pattern had a second character to it. Every 

time their crazy principal noted that they had a spare 

period and invited them to name a subject, the 

classes would plump for English. He had taught 

them English and he had taught them to enjoy English 

as he did. 

The school board was warm in its praise. He was 

the best they had had, he was told. They'd had some 

prizes there! 

And away he went, back to the warm climes of the

He was new to the wilds of Vancouver Island 

when he went to teach in a logging camp. In fact, he 

was new to teaching in British Columbia. He had 

previously taught in boarding schools in South 

America. 

The new school intrigued him. The students had 

no faintest idea how to express themselves. As from 

his first day in class, he instituted a new curriculum. 

Until the students were up to the level of their grades 

in English, no other subjects would be taught. 

The dismay among students was almost measurable. 

For day after day after miserable day they studied 

English almost exclusively. It's no good 

learning any other subject, said their crazy teacher, 

until you can express yourself. 

The inspector came to the school and expressed 

utter horror. He recognized first degree blasphemy 

and tore his garments. To no avail! 

and the choice between similarlysounding 

words, or homonyms. 

The bottom skills were grammatical 

usage, such as agreement 

between the subject and the verb 

and the summary of the main ideas 

of a passage. Sentence structure 

and recognition of common 

abbreviations were in the problem 

area.

The results of the tests, Assessment 

of Written Expression, 1978, 

were not broken down into school 

districts or areas. The analysis is of 

all students in the 9,000 assessed. 

The report shows that other 

areas in which tested students 

showed poor results were the 

organization of written work, 

appropriate vocabulary, formats 

of letters and envelopes, descriptive 

skills (such as the ability to 

convey personality traits or to describe 

human features) and narrative 

writing. 

Writing simple instructions, 

organizing details and ideas had 

also proved to be areas of weakness. 

Expository writing, completing 

forms or adjusting writing 

tones to a specific audience were 

not good. 

BRIGHT SIDE 

Grade Four was cited as the 

bright side of the coin. Students in 

that grade had shown themselves 

to be competent in originality, capitalization 

and punctuation. They 

could organize details and ideas 

and support opinions or judgments.

Hey, Hydro. 

\busayinstdaticmcanpaYforitseIfintime. 

But how ill can I pay for it now? 

First step in conservation 

insulation: 

Is insulation all that 

important? Look at it 

this way. Home heating is 

the largest single household 

consumer of valuable 

energy resources. It 

accounts for about 65£ out 

of every dollar you spend on yt your 

total home energy expense. So 

adequate home insulation can prevent 

major money leaks. And that's important. 

What about the expense? It isn't 

an expense. It's an investment—and a 

very good one. And, with the likely 

prospect of rising world energy costs 

ahead, it will become an even better 

investment in the near future. 

How insulation 

pays for itself 

The many ways insulation pays: 

In homes with substandard 

insulation (or none) a proper installation 

job can pay for itself in as little as 

five heating seasons. And that's only 

the savings in fuel. There are other 

pluses. Like a home that's more 

comfortable year-round: warmer in 

winter; cooler in summer. More_ 

uniform temperatures with fewer 

drafts and no cold spots. Insulation 

even makes a home quieter. And 

nowadays, when everyone's concerned 

about the need for energy efficiency, 

insulation can also add to your home's 

resale potential. 

Aerial thermpgraphic 

surveys pinpoint the need: 

, Once again this 

past winter, Hydro 

took infra-red 

aerial pictures 

of thousands 

of British 

Columbia rooftops. 

Our objective: 

to help nomeowners 

fight high heating costs. 

Individual roof 

temperatures 

are recorded 

on magnetic 

tapes to produce 

black-and-white 

"thermograms". 

These images pinpoint 

roofs that 

are losing heat by 

showing them as 

whitish or light-grey 

areas—indicating 

the need for better 

insulation. As we did 

last year, we'll be displaying 

the thermograms 

.... ...» .... ,'.-.• .-.-, 

in shopping malls in the 

areas we've surveyed. 

Hydro technicians will be on 

hand to help homeowners 

find out how their insulation 

measures up. 

Research verifies 

insulation value: 

readings of the aerial 

thermography program are doublechecked 

by comparing a sampling of the 

aerial thermograms of volunteer Hydro 

employees' homes with their actual 

insulation values. The aerial readings 

have proven remarkably accurate. 

And more research: 

Hydro is also studying energy 

and dollar savings in twelve test-homes 

located around the province. These 

homes have been fitted with newly 

recommended insulation levels 

in roofs, walls and windows—t 

and their heat savings 

monitored on a continuing 

basis. Preliminary results 

indicate savings in excess 

of 20%, over levels usuall 

encountered. 

How to find out if 

you need insulatio: 

Your nearby 

B.C. Hydro office can 

provide all the free 

literature and information 

you'll need on 

the subject of home 

insulation. These 

easy-to-follow booklets 

show you the 

simple way to check your 

insulation and decide on the improvements 

you require. They aiô 

contain the simple language for 

technical specifications, and many 

how-to-do-it tips. 

And how 

togetftnow 

\~~~ ~ 

\ How to get started: 

\ First, decide if you 

• want to do the work yourself 

or have it done. If you 

decide to do it yourself, 

\ you'll find it's a pretty 

straightforward job as 

long as you follow the 

recommendations in 

the literature we 

\ provide. 

If you prefer 

to have the work 

done, get competitive 

quotes on the job by 

qualified contractors. 

HOW do you know 

who is qualified? Don't hesitate to ask the 

contractor for the names of references— 

other homeowners for whom he has done 

insulating work. 

As a final check on the results of 

the job, some contractors now provide 

ground thermography verification of 

wall insulation effectiveness. Ask your 

contractor about this.

for insulation 

Now! 

Homeowners throughout British 

Columbia have taken advantage of B.C. 

Hydro's Insulation Finance Plan to 

upgrade insulation or install multipleglazed 

windows. To date, Hydro has 

financed over $1,000,000 to homeowners 

on this plan. We'll provide up to 

$500.00 at just 10% interest, 

repayable over 24 

months with your 

regular utility 

bills. To get the 

insulation you need, 

right now, you need 

only qualify with the 

following: 

—have a residential 

utility account 

with B.C. Hydro. 

—apply before March 31, 

1980. 

—have a satisfactory 

credit rating. 

—own (or be purchasing 

by mortgage) a home 

already built. 

Projects by qualified 

contractors under the B.C. Hydro 

Insulation Finance Plan are subject to 

spot checks by Hydro technicians to 

ensure the quality and standards of 

workmanship. 

All insulation and multiple 

glazing materials must be to CMHC 

standards and applied in accordance 

with recognized practice. And all 

"do-it-yourselfers" must purchase 

enough insulation to achieve the 

required performance. For details, 

contact your participating insulation 

retailer or contractor, or ask at your 

local Hydro office.

For region's 210 miles of shoreline 

Management plan 

under way in region 

Maximizing the existing benefits 

of shoreland resources and 

assisting in preserving those 

resources are two of the goals of a 

shoreland management program 

for the Capital Regional District. 

The program was begun last year 

by the regional district in order to 

develop a plan for the 210 miles of 

shoreline in the region. The 

program was prompted by 

problems that have arisen from 

shoreland developments that have 

taken place in the past: 

• Soil erosion and pollution of 

coastal waters from inferior 

construction or development 

practices. 

• Interference with the natural 

movement of shore materials to the 

limited sandy beaches by structural 

modifications in foreshore areas 

such as groynes and bulkheads 

(seawalls). 

• Elimination of highly 

productive and sensitive wildlife 

habitats. 

According to a report from the 

CRD, most of the program's work 

so far has dealt with an inventory of 

natural and man-made systems. 

Examinations have been made of 

vegetation types, fish and wildlife 

distribution, soils and substrate 

materials, wind and wave energy 

velocities, shoreland geology and 

hazards, shore types and visual 

Gas theft 

Charges are pending against a 

man suspected of gasoline theft. 

Last week Jack Clement of 

Langley St. reported to the RCMP 

at Ganges the theft of gas from a 

tank on the back of his truck. 

Charges follow police investigation.

amenities. 

Other progress made includes a 

review of coastal programs in other 

areas of the continent and 

incorporation of shoreland 

management policies in the Central 

Saanich community plan. Coastal 

research is being carried out by a 

number of government agencies 

and a public information program 

is also under way with an audiovisual 

slide presentation and 

graphic displays. 

Following are the key elements 

of the planning process as outlined 

in the CRD report: 

• Inventory of natural and manmade 

features and activities. 

• Identify problems and 

opportunities. 

• Analyze use demands and 

shoreland compatibility. 

• Initiate public involvement. 

• Develop shoreland management 

goals and objectives. 

• Formulate a shoreland 

management plan. 

• Implement the plan through an 

official regional plan, community 

plans, zoning and subdivision 

bylaws, public land acquisition and 

action programs. 

The plan, the report explains, 

would reflect not only shoreland 

capability and anticipated use 

requirements, but also the specific 

goals and objectives of residents of 

the region. Regional shoreland 

policies would be developed and 

guidelines established for future 

activities within theshoreland area. 

"This program is to a large extent 

dependent on pu blic awareness and 

acceptance, strong political 

leadership, and ongoing planning 

efforts," the report concludes. 

War isn't lost yet 

Arnott tells Trust 

Urban Transit Authority has 

ruled that the Gulf Islands are to be 

included in the Capital Region for 

the purposes of public transportation. 

Chairman of the Salt Spring 

Island Transportation Committee, 

Ken Arnott, reported the authority's 

ruling when he addressed the 

Salt Spring Island Trust Committee 

on Wednesday afternoon last 

week. 

The transportation committee is 

a function of the Trust. 

The affirmation by the transit 

authority was made at the request 

of the Capital Regional District. 

Arnott remarked that he had 

not found the ruling surprising in 

view of the fact that both Saanich 

Mayor Mel Couvelier and Victoria 

Alderman Bill Tindall are serving 

on both the transit authority and 

the regional board. 

"It's the left hand shaking 

hands with the right," he jibed. 

The inclusion of the islands is 

still under consideration by the 

Minister of Municipal Affairs, added 

Ken Arnott.

at all unco-operative in their work 

that day, which consisted of cleaning
