You beginto draw, recording what you see."The plant is a product ofnature. The pattern is this plus ahuman viewpoint . . . without aviewpoint, seeing is no differentthan not seeing . . . not everybodysees it in the same way, much lessperceives its beauty. Beauty onlyemerges in the plant with theaddition of a viewpoint that sees itas beautiful."This quote is from SoetsuYanagi's book, The UnknownCraftsman. The Showcase ^7exhibition is now on at MahonHall and this is what the jury waslooking for. "The jury memberswanted to feel the nature of theexperience of the artist to beevident in their work. They werelooking for the unique piece thateach artist sometimes produceswhere the heart, mind, hands andsoul become as one in a fluid andnatural way" and where the piecetranscends the artist's normalcapacity. This ambitiousexpectation was realized to someextent, but by no means did everypiece glow with conviction.When I walked in the door thefirst piece I was drawn to wasNaomi Potter's painting, Still Life.There is a joyful exuberance andconfidence in her free-formrendering. The absence of depthinvites one to see the compositionas an abstract design. Although inthe junior category, her work is theequal of many of the more seniorartists.Lightheartedness and trickeryare not issues we are traditionallyprepared to deal with in a galleryshow. After all, art is seriousbusiness with grave and profoundmessages for us all, isn't it? WithHoward Wilson's paintingOriental Echo, we are reallychallenged to see thingsdifferently. The beautiful carvedframe appears to be the inspirationfor the painting. Rather than thepainting being framed, we see theframe being occupied by a parodyof the appropriate, the twoseeming to make us aware of thepitfall of pretentiousness to whichartists are susceptible. If we takethe work seriously we arevulnerable to criticism on thenaivety of technique; if we dismissit as amateurish we may be guiltyof pomposity. The piece works andI must accept it as I would a riddle— with delight for its playfulnessand wholeness.Nell Bushby's and HowardMcDonald's knitted garments arebound to be favourites of the show.The intricacy of detail in the colourselection is at one with the boldgeometric composition of thesepieces. They have not onlyportrayed the forest, they also gaveus a look at the trees — small andlarg# patterns integrated intoabstract design. Not only are theseSEAFOOD! V>at Vesuvius Bay ;jSEASIDEKITCHENLicensedNOWOPEN!Can 537-2249art seenknitted paintings, but they arewarm garments which sustain ourcomfort.Wayne Arsenault's prints ofintrigue and introspection graspimagination and coax us intoscenarios and possible interpretations.These works are verystrong in composition, form andliberated use of line. Tomb of theKing jolts me back to school daysin grade eight studying Egypt,Greece and Persia, and what myinner eye made of those tales.There is an unnaturally quietcorner in Mahon Hall where TerryWarbey's stringed instrumentsreside. They are superb in theirconstruction and attention todetail but I crave to hear theirsong. I guess it is impractical torequire the maker to be on displayas well, however Terry does playhis instruments frequently on theisland so I will happily accept theseopportunities where I can.A more traditional approach tolandscape is taken by Jackson H.Barker in his pastel, From myWindow. With Barker's wellknownlove of gardening mustcome a great love for the warmthof colour. His piece is optomisticand his colour exotic and almostFauvist. This is a scene we rarelyexperience in the greyed world ofthe Pacific Northwest but Barker'spassion has won out over rigorousattention to reality.As far as paintings go I think thisyear's work was more inventiveand inspired, overall. The jurorsfelt, however, that there was a lackof participation, particularly in thecrafts area."They felt it was irresponsible onthe part of artists to withhold theirwork and not give the public a fairrepresentation of what is availableon the Gulf Islands."It is apparent to many thatartists on the adjacent islands werepoorly represented. It is a situationwhich must be fully addressed inthe future.One-man performanceset for Off Centre StageBy CAROLINE RINEWho is the king of America?

Thegala event will feature a fourcoursedinner and an evening ofmusic by Leighton Noble and hisOrchestra. The latter will besuitably augmented by strings toportray the melodies of Viennaand a variety of ballroom dancesto suit every taste and skill.Kandler, who 12 years agoorganized the successful JohannStrauss Foundation of Edmontonwhile living and working there,said the upcoming tea dance atthe Empress promises to be a"greatly entertaining" event.The tea dance, for which guestsare asked to dress in "afternoonformal" wear, begins at 3 pmwith a "get-acquainted" hour.Noble and his orchestra willentertain the expected 165 guestsbetween 4 and 6 pm. Supper willbe served at 6, and the orchestrawill take over again at 7 pm.

Page 24 GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Wednesday, March 18, 1987By MIKE TURKKIAt 28, Salt Spring Island residentBrien Foerster has alreadydone more than many peopleaccomplish in a lifetime. Amongother things, he's been a universitystudent in Victoria, a computeroperator in Chicago, an actor inEurope and a federal fisheriesworker in Vancouver. He eventried his hand at wine-making in afamily-run operation in Switzerland.But after sampling these careersand lifestyles, this graduateof Gulf Islands Secondary Schoolreturned to Salt Spring to pursuehis first love: carving.Foerster, born in Penticton,moved to the West Coast with hisfamily at the age of 11. He soondeveloped an appreciation forWest Coast Indian art, and startedcarving bits of mahogany witha utility knife."I never was interested in ituntil we moved here," he recalls."I started carving when I was 11,seriously when I was 12. I metJim Gilbert (a well-known nativecarver from Sidney. He wasabout 30 years older than me, andhe started me off by giving me amask that his father had leftunfinished when he died. Oneside was done, and he (Jim) toldme to see if I could copy it on tothe other side."That was Foerster's introductonto three-dimensional carving.When he completed the mask(which now hangs in his livingroom), Gilbert suggested he trycarving a miniature Haida canoe.The native artisan provided hisyoung apprentice with a modelhe'd completed.Foerster made a faithful reproductionof the piece. He went onto serve a three-year apprenticeshipwith Gilbert, and in 1976received additional instructionfrom Richard Hunt, head Kwakiutlcarver at the British Columbiaprovincial museum. Using theknowledge he received from theseprofessionals, Foerster began todevelop his own style.Oddly enough, Foerster neverstudied art in high school. "Theonly art I did in school was inGrade Seven," he notes with achuckle, "when they gave uscharcoal and a piece of paper andsent us outside to draw something.I wasn't really into it, butthey were giving three bucks tothe winner, so I did it. I managedto win, too, which was prettyincredible."Foerster didn't really considerbecoming a professional carverduring his teen years. ("It wassomething I thought I'd do when Iretired, after I'd made a millionbucks doing something else," henotes.) After graduation, he leftthe island like so many of hisclassmates; yet his road to discovery,unlike those travelled by somany others from this area,eventually brought him back toSalt Spring.Foerster enrolled at the Universityof Victoria, where he studiedmarine biology. "I didn't reallyplan a career in it, I studied itbecause*I wanted to know aboutthe natural world," he explained.After spending two years atUVic, he travelled to Chicago,where he took a job with a largefirm as a computer operator.After living on Salt Spring Island,the big-city environment was'something else.' Foerster discoveredhe missed his home island'srural atmosphere. "When I wasliving in Chicago, I regularlywatched Little House on thePrairie because it depicted thatkind of life."His love of art wasn't lost,however. He did quite a bit ofdrawing while living in the WindyCity, but eventually decided toquit his job and travel to Europe.His employers offered to makehim manager of their word-Wandering path led Foersterback to Salt Spring, carvingprocessing department, but he'dalready made up his mind to go.After returning from the overseastrip, he went back to schooland obtained an honours degreein salmon management. His desireto carve, however, was stillstrong — so strong, in fact, thathe had to send the tools home sohe could work on his thesis. "Ihad my carving tools, and it feltlike they were staring at me."After receiving his degree,Foerster headed back to Europe,where he lived in Switzerland andworked in a family-run winery.He even managed to get a part ina Yugoslavian movie, playing therole of an English knight."I'd actually planned on livingin Switzerland at one time," hesays. "When you think of Switzerland,you have these images ofquaint little villages. But there'It was something Ithought I'd do when Iretired, after I'd made amillion bucks doingsomething else.'are actually four million peopleliving there in a country smallerthan Vancouver Island. Europe isreally crammed."Disenchanted, he came to Vancouverand found work with thefederal department of fisheriesand oceans. He also pursued hisacting career, working with acomedy group to produce a showfor Cable 10. "I had lights ofHollywood in my eyes."Foerster soon found, however,that he didn't enjoy life in B.C.'slargest city. The comedy groupsplit up; he saw "the lights ofHollywood dimming.""I hated living in Vancouver,"he recalls. "I was sitting at acomputer all day doing analysis ofsalmon catch data. I never evensaw a salmon, aside from a30-pounder that was hanging onthe wall.Sl^SJ oerst^otem V baamdJa* Tprgjiia"I hated the environment. Itwas horrible . . . and the wholework ethic. I found most of thepeople I was working with didn'tlike their jobs and couldn't waitfor the weekend. It meant theywere enjoying two days out ofseven, which'.to me didn't makemuch sense.VSalt Spring began to drawFoerster like a magnet. Althoughhe'd brought his carving toolswith him to Vancouver, he hatedlife there so much he hardlytouched them."I spent every single weekendback on Salt Spring," he recalls,"which was strange for me,because when I spent four yearsliving in Victoria going to school,I'd come back (to the island)maybe on,ce a month."Finally^ Foerster came to therealization that "money by itselfisn't that great, and what's reallyimportant is doing what you loveto do. If the two happen tocoincide, then that's grand." Hesaved his money, and moved backto Salt Spring to pursue his careeras a carver.He's been concentrating solelyon his artwork for approximatelythree and a half years now.Today, what started as a hobby 17years ago has become a. way oflife for him. He's painting anddrawing, too, and is constantlyexploring new avenues in art; herecently ymcorporated Japanesebrush technique into his drawingsand prints — a notable exampleof the fusion of tradition andinnovation that is central to hiscreative process. He has alsobegun experimenting on the useof traditional painted West CoastIndian designs superimposed on anatural background.In addition to distinctive prints,he creates Indian bentwood boxesformed from steamed cedar, andrecently completed a nine-footHaida totem from yellow cedar.The pole, shipped to Toronto lastweek, will stand in the newwarehouse-office complex of adventure-clothingdesigner AlexTilley. Other Foerster originalscan be found in the privatecollections of architect ArthurErickson, Senator Jack Austinand Robert Bateman, as well asthose of collectors in the U.S.,England, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland,Hungary and Japan.He is currently working on aThunderbird carved from cedar,as well as an authentic mask. Atany one time, his Montieth Driveworkshop is likely to contain anumber of pieces in varyingstages of completion. "I prefer towork on a couple of things at onetime, because if you do only onone thing and see it through tocompletion, the carving processbecomes simply mechanical," heexplains.Foerster's works reflect notonly the traditional values ofWest Coast Indian art, but hisown deep personal feelings forthe land and the creatures thatpopulate it. "Being Indian isessentially a state of mind," heclaims. "It consists in that certainlove and knowledge of naturewhich Indian art is uniquelycapable of expressing." It is thisunderstanding of the art form thathas made him one of the fewnon-native carvers of West CoastIndian art whose works have beeraccepted by the native people.Yet Foerster also draws theinspiration for his work from SaltSpring Island itself. "This isliterally the best place in theworld," he claims. In the briefpause that follows, the sound of awaterfall located somewhere inthe gully behind his home can beheard. "It's close to Vancouverand Victoria, but far enough awaythat you get that rural atmosphere.Yet it's not so backwardthat you have to buy yourflour in 100-pound sacks."

Wednesday, March 18, 1987 GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Page 25Argentina home to more thansentimental songs, gauchosBy ANDREW GIBSONYou'll find your life will beginThe very moment you 're inArgentina;If you're romantic, senorThen you will surely adoreArgentina.Canadians spend quite a bit oftime thinking about othercountries — the U.S.A., CentralAmerica, Britain, France, Israel,Iran, South Africa and manyothers — but we rarely concernourselves with Argentina, thecountry which is our SouthAmerican counterpart.Our usable land masses aresimilar, as are our populations. Weare flanked by huge, populousneighbours and, insistentlycelebrating our nationhoods, welook uneasily toward our polarsovereignties. We have literate andpolitically sophisticatedcitizenries.It is therefore strange that ourknowledge of Argentina is oftenlimited to the following: it is thehome of the gaucho and the tango;the songs Down Argentina Way,(see above) and Don't Cry for Me,Argentina, from Evita; and therewas a military coup a few yearsago, the military made a lot ofpeople disappear, then lost a sillywar and was thrown out.By chance my own experiencewith Argentina began nearly half acentury ago, in 1938, when I was asea-feverish landlubber fromToronto. I went to England andsoon found myself on a rustyBritish tramp ship, wallowingthrough the South Atlantic swellstoward The Plate, the Rio de laPlata of Imperial Spain.I was fascinated (andscandalized) by beautiful, naughtyBuenos Aires, but even had Iwanted to, I was too poor to sin inthe La Boca dives where,according to the lurid accounts ofmy more affluent shipmates, thearteries of sailors were nightlymade to pop like pipestems by thesight of totally nude girls.I had studied Spanish at school,so I spent my time innocently at theplazas, listening to the bands andtalking to anyone who would talkto me — not, alas, the nice girls,who, beautiful, demure and quiteunapproachable, proved that inArgentina, as in other Latincountries, the girls when they weregood, were very very good Ibutwhen they were bad they wereshameless.I found Argentina enchantingand was delighted when, havingdischarged our coal, there was noMade immediately before his untimelydeath in 1984, CONFIDENTIALLYYOURS (Vivtment Dimanche) is directorFrancois Truffaut's affectionate farewellto the 40's Hollywood thrillers & 30's sexwar comedies that he so loved.

A mileaway was the small town of SanNicolas.We were there for three months,and I was probably the only one onboard who was sorry when wefinally weighed anchor andsteamed upriver to Rosario, for acargo of grain. Our Scots andTyneside crew thought longinglyof the damp delights ofSauchiehall Street and King'sRoad, but I thought semi-tropicalSan Nicolas glamorous. I'd evenmade Argentine friends, and hadbeen given the signal honour ofbeing allowed to promenade theplaza with a young lady — plus, ofcourse, her mother, father andbrothers. For a proper Argentinesenorita to be without such a possewas quite unthinkable.I still remember the perfumedair, the music, the girls and theboys, in groups, walking inopposing directions, the better tomake discreet eye contact, and thecourting couples with theirinevitable chaperones. I wastempted to jump ship.I was back to the Argentineagain, the next year, toConcepcion, up the clear fastflowingUruguay River — but thistime only for k couple of weeks.We had discharged our cargo atBuenos Aires, and had beenberthed opposite a North GermanLloyd cargo liner, gleaming withpaint and swarming withuniformed sailors.Our poverty-stricken rust-redtramp, with her motley crew,seemed to suffer by comparison,but in one respect we shone. At hertaffrail fluttered the swastika, andone sight of that was enough forour cabin boy, a young Jewishcockney. He didn't appear on deckon the side facing that dreadedflag, and he didn't go ashore at alLIt was 1939 and a warning as loutias an approaching train, butinaudible to our leaders, hadreached him about what was instore for his people. For him therewas an almost visible miasma ofhate between the two vessels.Then, of course, I was obliviousto politics (after all, R.B. Bennett,Mackenzie King, Stanley Baldwinand Neville Chamberlain weren'tlikely to turn one on). The SecondWorld War came and went and Ibecame a landsman again, but Inever forgot Argentina, andfollowed her turbulent affairs —Peron, Evita, the coups and, adecade or so ago, her dreadfulsubmergence into the horror of amilitary despotism which, as in toomany Latin-American countries,then and now, prattled endlesslyabout honour while torturing andmurdering. Then, as a silver liningto the foolish Malvinas affair,came the overthrow of the generalsand a return to humanity.My wife and I had three reasonsfor going to Argentina: nostalgia (Iwanted to go back to where I hadbeen in my youth), my wife hadn'tbeen south of the equator (shewanted to see the sun in the northat noon, and at night the SouthernCross), and we both wanted to seehow Argentina was doing threeyears after her generals, likemultiple Old Men of the Sea, hadbeen hurled from her shoulders.— (to be continued)Foxglove FencingGreat prices on the best selectionof fencing & posts in the islands!HEAVY GAUGESTOCK WIRE 330' roll, 47" highHEAVY GAUGESTOCK WIRE . 330' roll, 32" highDEER FENCE7MED.

When Patrick and I decidedto have some fun in the sun, I wantedto put a new flag on the map! Aftermuch discussion, the DominicanRepublic in the Caribbean waschosen. Located S.E. of Cuba, itshares the island of Hispaniola withHaiti. My only knowledge of thedestination at that time was that itwas the site of the first landing ofChristopher Columbus in 1492.The simplest and most economicalway to get there would have been tofly to Toronto and connect to a nonstopcharter to the DominicanRepublic. Like most of my clients, Ileft it too late and found the chartersfull for the period that we could go.Thus began our adventure—Victoria, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami,Port-au-Prince and finally PuertoPlata.Arriving late at night in the airportat Puerto Plata, we were hustled withour baggage by "helpful" locals in amanner that left us breathless! A taxiride through sugar cane fieldsbrought us to the resort area for$7.50 CAD.The resort accommodations varyfrom hotel rooms to two bedroomcondos. Built in the last 5-6 years,they are well appointed. Constructedback from the beaches, a green belt isleft to preserve the natural beauty ofthe shoreline. And beautiful it is! Thewhite sand beach goes for miles andis paralleled by lush trees so there is ashady spot for everyone. Crowding isnot a problem. The clear aqua waterwas warm for swimming and withoutsurf. Snorkelling is possible over thecoral outcroppings. Windsurfers andlaser-type sailing vessels are availablefor the more energetic.For those who like to walk thechoice is yours: unlimited beaches orroads through beautiful gardens.Bicycles are free and the terrain isflat.

The fairwaysare long and undulating throughsuperbly landscaped grounds.Costing $20 CAD for 18 holes,golfers think they are in heaven.Meals are excellent andrestaurants plentiful. They offereconomical to gourmet dining andgenerally speaking, the cost is lessthan what we pay here. The mostexpensive meal in a gourmetrestaurant was Lobster Thermidor at$19. A pizza that fed four of us forlunch was $10. Outdoor dining ispopular because the evenings arewarm enough that a sweater or jacketis not necessary.The Dominicans are friendly andhelpful. Those involved in tourismspeak Spanish, English and French,but shopkeepers and service peoplehave limited English.

There's nothing you'llsee so beautiful."You see something so big,silent, just gliding along."Girvan's gaze rises and momentarilyreturns him to that dayon the riverbank. "The sun wasshining on the sails."Girvan grew up in a Scottishfishing village, where he watchedthe men go out in the morningand conje back at night. This wasover 50 years ago — too late forthe Age of Sail. The windjammerwas an exception; a huge, steelhulledvessel and the last of thewind-powered commercial ships.It would have towered over theyoung Girvan. Now the NorthPender resident dwarfs themembers of his own armada.There are perhaps two dozenwooden ships, most of themclippers, adorning variousshelves and tabletops.Turn to Page 27GirvanBy MIKE O'BRIENTransport Canada's west coastnavigation office is compilinginformation which may reducenoise complaints from SaturnaIsland residents disturbed by alow-flying helicopter commuterservice.Regional manager Mike Matthewssaid he has asked EnvironmentCanada to compile a recordof how often the freezing pointdrops between 2,000 and 3,000feet, looking back over the past 10years.Helijet Airways of Richmondwants Transport's permission tofly by instrument navigation at aminimum of 2,000 feet.

J.Wednesday, March 18, 1987 GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Page 27In a bottleBuilding ships requires, teaches much patienceFrom Page 26Most are imprisoned in bottles.Girvan worked for 30 years inAlberta's petrochemical industry.Now several years into retirement,he looks back, not forward,for the stuff of his hobby.Girvan started ship modellingseven years ago. "I found itrather tedious working on thelarger models." So he thinks small,filling small bottles with (just)smaller ships. Among the bottledboats which he has kept is a twomastedship locked inside a nailpolish bottle. "It's a novelty."It is a hobby which teaches —and demands — patience. "Youmeet with a lot of disasters."After 40 hours of carving andassembling the ship, the modellermust get it in the bottle. If, duringthis most delicate of procedures,a mast snaps, the modeller'snerves could easily follow suit."It could take another 40hours." Girvan sells his boats incraft shops, usually for about$100. Arithmetic makes it clearthe financial rewards aren't inline with the work which goes intothe craft. But because he loves it,he keeps building, and familymembers are rewarded with aboat or two. He launches aboutwo dozen ships a year into theplasticine seas he sculpts in theinsides of bottles."Some people will ask for aspecific ship." He's capable ofmeeting these orders because oftwo shelves of reference books,each full of illustrations of the oldwooden hulls.The hobby has fanned hisinterest in, and knowledge of,shipping history. Once he getstalking Girvan will repeatedly runout to his books to find examples."I like to keep track of who aboat is sold to, and if they evergettired of it I'll buy it back fromthem at the price they paid forit."Girvan's ships are detailed.Some have pinhead cannons andkfinely-etched mastheads. The"toothpick masts hold their papersails with black thread. Each hasa miniature flag of the ship'snative country. Yet the ships areintentionally out of scale. "Theobject of the hobby is to put asmuch ship in the bottle." Andbecause the hull has to squeezethrough three-quarter-inch bottlenecks,the ship is carved somewhatleaner than its original."They're artistic replicas.""Just like an artist painting apicture, you want to create somethingthat looks alive." To that endhe shapes a slight curve into thepaper sails to represent the wind'sforward shoves. Girvan uses ahooked wire to sculpt whiteplasticine on top of the blue waterwhich bounces off and back fromthe ship's hull. Whitecaps.Though orje can find a Spanishgalleon and even a Viking ship,Girvan's favorite subject is theClipper — the 19th centurytrading vessel notorious for notreturning from voyages.The tools and materials arecheap and available, and dotGirvans's workbench. He uses asharp knife, tweezers, sandpaper,and a coat hanger or bicycle spoketo sculpt the sea.But how does he get the shipinside the bottle?First, he locates a clear, unflawedbottle, then cleans anddries it. He carves the hull, paintsit, and adds the trimmings like asurgeon. He pencils in the seamsof the sails. A shot of hairsprayholds the sag and guarantees thewind will always blow inside theold Cutty Sark bottle.He uses tea to stain the sailsthe proper off-white colour."I never use coffee. Coffeesmells."Girvan constructs the mastsseparately, then adds the sailsand the rigging.The masts are attached to thehull with little wire hinges whichallow the toothpicks to lie downthe length of the ship like toppleddominoes. The cigar-shaped workis slipped into the bottle and laidto rest on the plasticine."This iswhere the greatest patience isexerted, to get the ship in place."Now, a cautious pull on the"master thread" brings themasts to full attention on theimprisoned ship. If there werechampagne bottles small enough,this would be the moment whenthey could be smashed againstthe bow.Girvan isn't sure how thehobby started. It may have beenthe creation of sailors at sea whosomehow found time from theirslavish work days. Or landlockedsailors who whiled away hours ofunemployment while they waitedfor their next voyage.Girvan thinks the alwayssuperstitioussailor may havebuilt replicas of his next vesseland enclosed it in glass forsafekeeping.The craft hasn't changed muchover time. Girvan enjoys betterbottles than 19th century modellers,as well as acrylic paints andplasticine. But the craft's mysterylay in the fitting of a ship into abottle, like a camel through theeye of a needle.Girvan professes to love thisprecise, demanding hobby becausehe loves the old ships. It isa link to the past, evolving littleover time.Yet there was that time at acraft store when a marvellouslybuilt ship inside a bottle caughthis eye. Gilbert examined it withperhaps a pinch of envy. Turningthe bottle over in his hands,Gildbert was -^isenchanted todiscover the de-romanticizingtouch of technology.The bottom of the bottle hadbeen carefully cut off and thenseamlessly reattached after theerect ship had been insertedthrough the end.GALIANO'S BEST!LAND: 1-10 acres, starting low 20's.

Page 28 GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Wednesday, March 18, 1987Approach of spring brings flowers to the foreSpring, synchronous with theVernal Equinox, will arrive thisweekend. The cool Mediterraneanclimate we enjoy, with its hot drysummers, ensures that spring is theseason par excellence forwildflowers. As the winter hasbeen so mild, some flowers havejumped the gun and are already inbloom.Our favourite, already showingon the Bluffs, is Blue-eyed Mary,Collinsia Grandiflora, although inthat habitat the plant is lowgrowingand the flowers small.Interspersed with it are the firstwhite blooms of SaxifragaIntegrifolia, the Easter lily. Therosy petalled Salmon berrydeserves its Latin name of RubusSpectabilis (showy).The majority of early flowers areyellow. In marshy places can befound the Yellow Arum with thelargest leaves of any plant in B.C.Its common name of SkunkCabbage is offensive in more thanone way. Emerging from the waterat the edge of the ponds are theshiny round leaves and the yellowbuttercup-like flowers of Caltha,the Marsh marigolds. The yellowbunches of flowers of the Oregongrape are now opening and can beeaten. Finally, there are thosepernicious weed-shrubs of the peafamily, the gorse now in fullbloom, and the broom whichcomes into its yellow glory in Apriland May. Both are imports and arechoking out the native plants andshrubs. The gorse was known asfurze, as it still is in Scotland, andwas once used for hedges toconfine animals. As it has a high oilcontent, it also made a good fuelexcept for the difficulty ofgathering it.In addition to plant predators,there are also animals, deer andhuman.At the same time that the newlyfledged Galiano Naturalists weremeeting and deploring the use ofErythroniums for table decorationsa local resident wasplucking Easter, lilies in BellhousePark. This was not a child whoseignorance might condone the actor even a visitor who might feel noresponsibility for the continuedexistence of this endangeredspecies in the park. Members of thelily and orchid family which growfrom a bulb which takes years tomature to the flowering stageshould never be picked. Everyresident who loves wildflowersshould be ready to ask anyone theysee picking wildflowers to stop. Ina provincial park the actioncontravenes regulations but it is apractice that should bediscouraged everywhere, in view ofour diminishing flower population.Coming EventsTo celebrate the arrival of springon Saturday, March 21, theWomen's Auxiliary to the SGVFDwill lie serving coffee and cookiesat their monthly book sale between2 and 4 pm at the South Fire Hall.Donations of paperbacks arealways welcome.Later this Saturday the AGM ofthe Galiano Club will start at 7 pmin the South Community Hall.This Sunday, March 22, aspecial guest from Australia willpreach at the 11 am Anglicanservice at St. Margaret's. The Rev.Paul Barnett is Master of RobertMenzies Hall in Malquari, and iscurrently visiting professor of NewTestament Studies at RegentCollege in Vancouver.Next Wednesday, March 25, theChamber of Commerce will holdits AGM beginning at 7:30 pm inthe South Community Hall.The AGM of the Health CareSociety will be held in Page DriveLounge on Sunday, March 29,beginning at 3:30 pm.To raise money for their fieldtrips, Grades six and sevenstudents have organized a minifairfor kids in the Activity Centrefrom noon to 3 pm on Friday,March 27.

Phone forappointments without delay toBenger at 5702.Twenty-fifthAnniversaryA recent flyer announcing a saleat the Corner Store noted that itwas in celebration of a 25thanniversary. Even comparativenewcomers such as ourselves willrecall that the Corner Store wasbuilt by Victor Zala about 1970 onthe valley estate he had inheritedfrom his uncle, also called VictorZala, a long-time resident ofGaliano and organist at St.Margaret's Church. It appears thatseveral years must pass before thestore can celebrate its silveranniversary. When present ownerRon Minette was confronted withthe anachronism, he confessed thatit was, in fact, his and Connie's25th wedding anniversary.Congratulations and best wishes tothem both from their many friendsand customers.Garden ClubA packed North GalianoCommunity Hall was proof of thepopularity of the feature speaker,Dr. David Tarrant of CBC'sWestern Gardener.Dr. Tarrant, modestly clad inoveralls and wearing work boots,chinked a hanging basket madefrom 1 X 1 inch cedar withspagnum moss gathered thatmorning on the island. A mixtureof potting soil and balancedfertilizer was then added, followedby potted plants of ivy-leafedpelagonium, potato vine, verbena,asparagus fern, wandering jew andtrailing lobelia all packed tightlytogether and tamped with soil towithin one inch of the top. Hesuggested that an alternatecollection could be made fromherbs; parsley, rosemary, mint andvariegated ginger. David alsoshowed a series of slides showingthe beautiful effects that can beobtained with hanging baskets andother containers, such as invertedwine bottles with a hole knockedthrough the bottom. The basketwas then donated to the Club andwas won in a raffle by new memberWally Duncan.Next club meeting, on April 8,will have as guest speaker Dr. KayBeamish from Vancouver, whowill talk about Alpine plants.Galiano IslandTrust CommitteeThe quarterly public meeting ofthe Trust Committee will be heldon Saturday, March 28 at 1 pm. Inaddition to items previouslyreported in this column, there willbe a public hearing on a proposedgalianoreportzoning change for Lot 225. This lotat North Galiano is squeezedbetween Porlier Pass Road and thesea and was the site of the herringsalteries which prospered in the1920s and 1930s. The site isunsuitable for residential use andthe owners, MacMillan-Bloedel,wish to increase the re-sale valueby having a zoning change toWater A Zone, which wouldpermit the development of amarina. This change will beopposed by the North GalianoCommunity Association, themembers of which would like tosee this parcel included in theDionisio Point land swap, so thatthe public cpuld continue to enjoythe use of this small stretch offoreshore. If the site came into thepublic domain it might bedeveloped as a boat launching area— something which is badlyneeded at the north end ofGaliano.SALT SPRINGLANDS LTD.Box 69, Ganges, B.C.

Walsh,173 Queen St. E., Toronto,Ontario M5A 1S2.From Page 1because the parks and recreationcommission wants to beautify theroadside of Centennial Park."It was a bit of a fiasco," saidFast Foto & Video owner BillWebster. His business was"dead" between 10:30 am and 2pm Saturday — normally a busyperiod. The day's total cashintake indicated there had beenless busirfess."I guess I lost at least ahundred dollars."Many of those who did arrivereferred to the access problem,Webster said. "Nobody could getin or out." The problem wascompounded by at least one publicvehicle which parked across thelot's regular exit.D and D News also felt thepinch. Co-owner Dorothy Clarksaid Saturday's business wasdown. "I don't know why ourbusiness should go down becauseof the market."Clark and Websterboth thoughtthe market stalls and vehicleswould be pushed back against theCRD-owned half of the lot alongsidethe park."No one told us our parkingwould be gone," Clark said.There are conflicting interpretationsof who may use the lot onSaturdays between 5 am and 2pm. Bill McBay is owner ofGasoline Alley and the southernmosthalf of the lot which runsalong the storefront. He said anagreement between him and theCapital Regional District (whichadministers the parks and recreationcommission), signed last fall,allows him 10 feet of parkingalong the front of the stores onSaturdays."There should be enoughspace for cars to go through."Gasoline Alley tenants knew ofthe farmers' market relocationbecause he has been negotiatingwith the parks commission forsome time, McBay said. Hedismissed Saturday's bottleneckas a startup problem which wouldbe solved by a stern word fromthe parks commission. "It needsto be policed."However, the parks commissionerassigned responsibility forthe issue says the lot is solely forthe use of the market vendors onSaturday. "It is closed to thepublic," said Phil Hume. The10-foot buffer zone is to allow forfire or health vehicles and is notto be used by plaza shop ownersor their customers, he said.Humperdink's By The Sea restaurantmanager Bea Ellis saidshe knew the parking would bereserved solely for the marketvendors.Hume will attend this Saturday'smarket to prevent thebottleneck problem.The lot is owned by the CRDalong the north and by McBayalong the south. Joint ownershipof one large lot (instead of twosmaller ones ) allows 90 degreeparking spaces, more turningspace and separate entrance andexit lanes.The CRD agreement withMcBay may conflict with anIslands Trust zoning bylaw whichcovers the shops in the plaza. Itstates there must be one spaceper 248 square feet of retail shopspace, and one spot per everythree seats in restaurants. Thereare three restaurants and fourshops along the lane.This is not possible if theSaturday market has sole use ofthe lot. "The parking permittedon McBay's property is supposedto be for the people (merchants)dealing with him," explainedIslands Trust planner Dave Morris.The market vendors will renttheir spaces from the parkscommission as of April 1, Humesaid. The money is to pay for agardener for Centennial Park.The farmers' market usuallyhelps business by drawing touriststo the area, Rainbow Craftsco-owner Lenora Outerbridgesaid. The store's business wasn'treally affected because most of itscustomers are browsing pedestrians,she said.The market vendors parkedwhere the parks commisssion toldthem to, says market associationsecretary Susan Bradford. Sheagreed it could pose a problem forthe plaza merchants, and said themarket vendors preferred theirold roadside location.Outerbridge and partner PhyllisFetherston are concerned byrumours that the Capital RegionalDistrict, (through the parks andrecreation commission), andMcBay, the lot's co-owners,would open the area to midweekvendors.This Week in RecreationSOCCER:SENIOR INTRA-ISLAND: 9 am—Cardinals vs Fulford Fillies. 10 am—Kicks vs Lazers, Hornets vs Fury, Blue Bombers vs Stingers. 11 am—Hawks vs Sharks.JUNIOR INTRA-ISLAND: 9 am—Firebirds vs Demons; Panthers vsEagles.VOLLEYBALL: Beach Bum Volleyball Tournament sponsored by SaltSpring Swimming Pool Society & Salt Spring Volleyball Assn.

Page 34 GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Wednesday, March 18, 1987Soap 'factory' resists temptation to expandBy MIKE TURKKIVesuvius Bay Road residentBill Goddu doesn't park vehiclesin his garage anymore.He can't. There's no room forthem, because the garage is nowhome to his wife Linda's business.Bottles and bags of driedrose petals line a series of shelvesalong the back wall, and in a largepantry-area to the right, jugs andjars containing the other raw'ingredients' of her trade arestacked floor to ceiling. Curingracks containing hundreds of tiny'cakes' share space with severallarge tables near the centre of thestructure, and underneath a smallsink at the rear sits a stainlesssteel mixing bowl and woodenspatula.The renovated garage, filledwith the sweet scent of flowersand fresh fruit, looks a little like abakery. But the products of thisshop, though they smell goodenough to eat, are designed toclean and soften the skin ratherthan tickle taste buds.Linda Goddu makes soap. Herbusiness, Saltspring Soapworks,was established three years agoand has evolved first from ahobby to a full-time business —and now to something in between.When she first started makingsoap eight years ago for her ownuse, Linda never dreamed itwould become her "life's work."In fact, her career as a soapmakerdeveloped almost by accident."I could never use store soapsbecause I had dry, sensitiveskin," she said. "What happenedwas I wanted to make herbalshampoo, and it needed a soapbase, so I got this recipe for soap.It made 48 bars. The herbalshampoo went bad because it hadall these natural ingredients, butthe soap lasted us almost a year."At the time, Linda had quit heroffice job and was helping Billwith his contracting business.After spending years behind adesk, she longed to do somethingelse with her life — but didn'texactly know what that somethingwas."I was waiting for my 'life'swork' to come along," she recalls."I'd done some writing, so Ithought I might like to be awriter, but I wasn't sure. So whileI was waiting for it to happen, Istarted making soap and cosmetics."She read every article and bookshe could find on soap-making.She approached the process like acook, taking basic formulas andexperimenting with them, addingand subtracting ingredients tosuit her own needs. Throughtrial and error, she developed herown soap 'recipes' utilizing onlynatural ingredients and pure fragrances."I was shocked that I couldmake a better product with thebasic ingredients than the bigcompanies. Then I found out thatmost of our toiletries (purchasedin the store) are full of chemicals,"she noted.The best soap, according toLinda Goddu, 's approximately 80per cent tallow and 20 per centcoconut oil. The tallow gives thebar its smooth texture, while theTerry HubertsMELLinda Goddu in garage factory'coconut oil provides lather. Analkali is the other basic ingredientin soap; in pioneer times asheswere used, but Goddu employssodium hydroxide. To give thebars scent, she adds naturalessence of flowers and fruits."I made it (soap) in thekitchen, using an old woodenspoon and a stainless steel mixingbowl," she said. "I had dryingracks all over the place, and therewere times when I'd be up atmidnight mixing batches of soapin the kitchen."Much of the soap she made wasgiven away to friends and family.Then, the unexpected happened:People started asking for it.Surprised by this turn ofevents, Linda decided to tryselling her products at the farmers'market in Ganges. "Theresponse was great," she says."Now, even though we go to bigshows in Alberta and other places,when I make something wetest it on Salt Spring, because welike to keep that personal contactand get feedback from the peoplewho live here. The people herearen't afraid to tell you what theythink."Linda Goddu began marketingher soap and other products —including cosmetics, moisturizersand tanning oil — and demand forthem grew rapidly. Soon, itbecame difficult to keep up withrequests for her products."When we started selling, wegot a place in town (Ganges), butwithin six months we'd outgrownCOUVEUER MLATERRY HUBERTS MLA656-6232Saanich and the Islands Constituency Office9803 - 3rd Street, Sidney, B.C. V8L 3A6MelCouvelierit," she recalls. "We lookedaround for a larger place, buteventually, Bill just said: 'Comeon home and I'll fix up thegarage.' So we did that."The Goddus' garage was transformedinto a small-scale soapworks.Linda hired someone to'help make the soap, assuming agreater managerial role in thebusiness. Uncertain of her nextmove, she turned to marketconsultants for advice; at leastone of them recommended thatshe move Saltspring Soapworks tothe Lower Mainland, rent largecommercial space and go intofull-scale production.She accepted some of thesuggestions made by the'experts', but rejected most ofthem. "I found that if I justfollowed my own feelings, thingsgenerally worked out all right,"she said.Saltspring Soapworks flourished,but like everything else,success had its price. Last fall,the workload and worry associatedwith operating a full-timebusiness became too great. Theweeks of steady work finallycaught up with Linda."It felt like what I'd createdwas out of control," she says."What happened was I'd beenHARDWOODHARDWOODPLYWOODPrices you can afford.OAKSMAHOGANIESTEAKS etc'WESTWIND656-0848WOODWORK10230rBOWERBANKI SIDNEYworking seven days a week formonths, and I got really sick. Iwas burnt out, and I had tore-examine my priorities, what Iwanted out of this."Linda took the time to reevaluateher goals, and soonrealized that what she wanted outof soap-making was not money."I found that making money waspretty close to the bottom of thelist (of priorities)," she notes."When I had someone helpingme, I found I was spending mostof my time behind a desk again —exactly the thing I'd wanted to getaway from. I enjoyed it (thebusiness) more when I was actuallymaking the soap myself,and I felt the quality was higher."After giving the situation carefulthought and talking it overwith her husband — who hasbeen supportive and now worksas her salesman — Linda electedto keep Saltspring Soapworks acottage industry. It was a decisionshe's never regretted."It fits the lifestyle I want,"she explains. "Now I can makesoap one day, then do somethingelse the next. I'm a night person,and it fits in with that as well.Now I can make soap at 10 o'clockat night and sleep in the next dayif I like."Demand for Linda Goddu'sproducts continues to grow. Butshe no longer worries aboutwhether she'll be able to makeenough soap, moisturizers andcosmetics to go around. In fact,she recently turned down twooffers from firms that wanted todistribute her products national­ly-New Spring Patternsand Spring YarnsHave Arrived!"For a business like this, that'slike being discovered by a Hollywoodscout," she noted. "Wetalked it o$et, and eventuallydecided not?to go with either ofthem. It was a turning point forus."The demand for our productsis great, and eventually it's goingto be way more than I canproduce. But if I can't supply allthe stores that want to carry myproducts, then maybe we'll justdeal with one store per community.I don't even think I want mysoap in all the stores anyway."Salt SpringTennis AssociationSeason's OpeningZilNNERMEETINGCome and join us to hear aboutsummer's activities.Saturday, Mar. 28at the Golf ClubDrinks: 6:30Dinner: 7:00Cost: $12.50 p.p.Yarns Unlimited — Pingouin Yarns1407 Government St., Victoria, B.C.

The final 1-1score was a fair representation ofplay.The interlocking game broughtFillies and Sharks into competition.Evenly matched in the firsthalf, the Sharks took control in thelate stages to win 2-0.With Stingers in the seniorleague not fielding a team, Kicksand Hawks challenged each otherin the most exciting game of theday. In the first half, HarrisonJason for the Kicks scored the onlygoal. Hawks put one through theposts but were offside, and anothershot knocked down the goal posts.The two teams displayed greatpassing combinations, closechecking, and frequent heading.Surprise goal sinks StingSalt Spring Sting 0,Prospect Lake, 1By MALCOLM LEGGWhen the game had ended, itwas hard to believe the Sting hadlost 1-0 to Prospect Lake, after allthe great chances the local girlsteam had during the match.It was one of those games wherethe opponent scored on a long shotthat surprised Prospect Lake asmuch as Salt Spring, and then thelocal team tried to play catch-up.It was not for a lack of chancesthat Salt Spring failed to comeback. Lena Maron, Kelly Brown,Alison Procter and Amy Twa allhad good chances, but eithermissed or saw the goalie make thesave.All the players on the Sting gavea solid effort and the girlscontrolled a lot of the game.Particular stand-outs were KellyBrown on wing, Amy Twa on rightwing, Kate Gilbert in midfield,Take advantage of the manypotential tax deductionsavailable to commissionsales people.

Page 36 GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Wednesday, March 18, 1987Power, sailSquadron to host meeting77iw coming June, the SaltSpring Island Squadron of theCanadian Power and Sail (CPS)Squadrons will host the 28thannual district meeting of theVancouver Island District of CPS.There are 17 squadrons within thedistrict and it is expected that 125to 150 delegates will attend theweekend of meetings and socialactivities. During the next two orthree months. Driftwood will carrya series of articles outlining thedevelopment and activities ofCanadian Power and SailSquadrons.By FRANK LEIGH-SPENCERNext year the first PowerSquadron formed in Canada (inWindsor, Ontario) will celebrateits 50th anniversary — it pre-datesthe national organization by threeyears. In that half century there hasbeen continuous development;'today, there are more than 16,000'members in 150-odd squadronsacross Canada, and the growth"continues.That first squadron in Windsorwas started by a gentleman namedTed Villeneuve, a Windsorresident who was taking a pilotingcourse with the Detroit PowerSquadron while in the process ofbecoming a naturalized Americancitizen.Mr. Villenueve was impressedwith the job the U.S. PowerSquadrons were doing ininstructing pleasure boaters in theskills of safe boat handling. Heinfluenced a number of Windsorboat owners to take instruction inthe piloting course from the UnitedStates Power Squadron members.They passed the examination andsubsequently formed the WindsorPower Squadron, patterened afterthe Detroit counterpart. This wasthe nucleus which eventuallybecame Canadian PowerSquadrons.By 1939 the fame of the Windsorsquadron had spread tosurrounding areas and squadronswere formed in Sarnia andLondon, Ontario. Officers of thesethree squadrons met in Chathamon October 14, 1941, and thereCanadian Power Squadrons wereborn. A series of lectures adaptedfrom those being used in the U.S.were standardized and modifiedfor use in Canada.The origin of the name PowerSquadron dates .back to 1941,when Roger Upton, vicecommodoreof the Boston YachtClub won recognition for membersowning power boats (some of themsteam) and called them by thename Power Squadron of theBoston YC.The idea of a winter educationalprogram — now the basic reasonfor the existence of the PowerFOR SALE BY OWNERSquadron movement in bothCanada and the U.S. — did notoriginate until 1922.So this is Canadian Power andSail Squadrons, an organizationdedicated to the establishment of ahigh standard of skill in thehandling of small boats, power orsail.THE PROPERTY: Three acres plus.

Page 38 GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Wednesday, March 18, 1987Three Caspar free-kicks lead FC to victorySalt Spring 3, Duncan 1By ALAN WEBBI am constantly asked (okay,occasionally asked) how it is that asmall group of part-timers whodon't practice are able to competeat a level of soccer that demandssuch inconveniences. To satiate thecurious I have decided to focusattention on the secret of oursuccess — pep talks.Before each contest it is the habitof our captain, Lance Lomax, tosay a few well-chosen encouragingwords. The following is a sample ofLance's latest pre-game address,our reaction, and some brief wordsabout the game.Enter Lance with a podium.Lance:.. . that he which hath nostomach to this fight,Let him depart; his passportshall be made,And crowns for convoy put intohis purse:We would not play in that man'scompany,That fears his fellowship to diewith us.This day is called — um, March15:He that outlives this day, andcomes safe home,Will stand tip-toe when this dayis named.And rouse him at the date of 15March.He that outlives this day, andsees old age.Will yearly on the vigil feast hisfriends,And say, tomorrow is March 15;Then he will strip his trousers,and show his scars,And say, these wounds I had on.March 15.Old men forget; yet all shall beforgot,But he'll remember, withadvantages,What feats he did that day. Thenshall our names,Familiar in their mouths ashousehold words —Lance the Captain, Hengstlerand Marr, Caspar and Tranter,the Leggs and the Browns,Wilson and Webb, Marleau andWard —Be in their flowing cups freshlyremember'd.This story shall the good manteach his son;And March 15 shall ne'er go byFrom this day to the ending ofthe world,But we in it shall be remembered— we few, we happy few, we bandof brothers;For he today that sheds hisblood with me.Shall be my brother; be he ne 'erso vile,This day shall gentle hiscondition:And gentlemen on Salt Spring,now a-bed,Shall think themselves occurs'd,they were not here;And hold their manhoodscheap, whiles any speaks,That played with us on March15.Once more unto the breach, dearfriends, once more!Emboldened and aroused tobattle we never-the-less take timeto admire his diction:... mute wonder lurketh in men'sears.To steal his sweet and honey'dsentences,So that the art and practice partof lifeMust be the mistress to histheoric: etc . . .Having been inspired, takentime to admire the beauty of hisspeech and gathered for theopening kick-off it was clear thelocal lads were ready for battle.Three free-kicks taken by BruceCaspar resumed in a 3-0 SaltSpring lead byHhe 30-minute markof the first rfelf. Tony Legg andMichael Brown converted the firsttwo from short range and Tonyblasted home the third goal fromfully 45 yards.The second half degeneratedinto a wild, violent affair in whichthe opposition lost two playersthrough ejections.Duncan were able to pull backone goal, however, on a hotlydisputedfinish which appeared tobe off-side.
