ISLANDERS SEEK PLANNING

* * *FENDER

PLEAPender Island residents, a-

ware that development of theirisland is going on at an ever-accelerating pace, decidedTuesday night that they wouldlike some say in how the islanddevelops.

After hearing from Victoria-based planning 'expert AnthonyH. Roberts that the alternativeis to " keep your fingers crossedand hope the island changes ina reasonable way", membersof the Pender Island Chamberof Commerce passed a resolu-tion which, in effect, requestsregional planning for the GulfIslands.

Mr. Roberts, who is planningdirector of the Capital RegionPlanning Board, said a solidstudy of the islands, populationtrends, types of land use, av-ailability of water, etc.,would enable his staff to fore-cast with reasonable accuracywhat the islands might be likefive or ten years from now.

The islands and their dev-elopment could then be lookedat in the light of the totalVictoria regional picture, Mr.Roberts said.

Broad recommendationsmight be made, suggesting,for example, that the islandsbe kept as residential and re-creational areas, rather thanfor industrial or commercial11S6S

(Turn to Page Four).

Three of the Gulf islands have now asked the Cap-ital Regional District for assistance in planning. SaltSpring Island Chamber of Commerce and Pender Is-land Chamber have now asked the Capital Districtto take action.

South Pender had already sounded a similar pleaafter examining the situation on other islands.

At Mayne Island the problems of planning will be dis-cussed on June 28, when Anthony Roberts will speakto MIRA.

SALT SPRINGSalt Spring Island voice has

been raised for planning.Chamber of Commerce has

asked the Capital Regional Dis-trict to implement a planningsurvey of the island.

Proposal follows a recentaddress to the annual dinnermeeting of the chamber by thechairman of the Capital RegionPlanning Board, Victoria Ald-erman Ian Stewart.

Mr. Stewart explained thepattern of planning and its ap-plication to the area surround-ing the city of Victoria.

At the subsequent generalmeeting of the chamber it wasagreed to ask the regional dist-rict to initiate the survey.

The step is the first movetowards a planned community,wherein developments are re-quired to conform to thepattern generally sought andapproved by residents.

If a form of planning is ap-proved by the community, theithe survey would be imple-mented. Planning experts

DOMINION DAY AT SATURNA

HUNTCOUGAR

Campers at Mouat Park lastweek end found themselvescamping with a cougar.

Two campers reported thebig cat had been prowling ar-ound the park.

Both assured police that theywere thoroughly acquaintedwith cougars and could recog-nize such an animal.

From this chart would becompiled the trend of needsand services. Function of thecommercial areas would bestudied and analyzed. Follow-ing this compilation, the lo-cal community would form anadvisory planning commission.The commission would includelocal personnel who would ad-vise the regional district oflocal needs and local viewsbefore any change could bemade in local planning con-trols.

Many critics have cited theshortcomings of planning andzoning controls. Governmentspeakers at every level, havewarned for several years of thechaos which is likely to devel-op among the islands unlesssome orderly pattern is adopt-ed.

FERN WOOD

By JESSIE SAYERLin Sayer, jr., came to

spend the week-end at Fern-wood and was lucky enough tocatch the first coho of the yearup this end as far as we know.

A large eagle was seen herethis week carrying a fish thatwas so heavy he had to makeseveral tree top rests beforecontinuing on to his nest whichseems to be on the H. Smithproperty.

There was also seen here alarge yacht with a small floatplane suspended from thestern. It must be nice to bethat affluent!

When I mentioned the slowferry trip last week I neglectedto say the lovely carpet andnew furnishings are a great im-provement. The terminus isalso being well kept and looksinviting for a picnic.

CITIZEN OF THE YEAR * PRESENTATION *

By BEA HAMILTONFinal presentation of the

Citizen-of-the-Year award wasmade to Captain L.B.D. Drum-mond at his home on Saturdayby Chamber of Commerce dir-ector Frank Richards and presi-dent, Gavin Reynolds.

The affair was sponsored bythe Fulford Hall committee andfor a while it looked like an in-vasion at the Drummond home.People came from everywhere

t — big people, little people,and they gathered under the sha-dy orchard trees, with the child-ren sprawling everywhere, wait-ing eagerly for "Cap" Drunrrmond to appear.

A sudden clapping of small• hands broke the silence as

"Cap" Drummond was wheeledout in his chair to his placeunder the old apple tree. Thechildren crowded around andwatched as, first, Bob Aker-man, who had arranged theprogramme, took over.

"This is a great day in Ful-ford," said Bob and he told thechildren how "Cap Drummond"had made over a portion ofthe waterfront land for a child-ren's playground and he askedMrs. M. Gyves, past presidentof the Hall Committee, and afaithful worker for the FulfordHall, if she would come for-ward to accept the title to theland.

Mrs. Gyves thanked himand told him what a great plea

DO IT YOURSELF!If you want to live the way you want, you've got

to do it yourself.No question about it.If you want to keep the Gulf Islands like the Gulf

Islands, then you've got to do something about it.It's no good waiting for the Premier or the Prime Min-ister to act. The legislation has been in effect longenough. If we want to live this way we must eitherbring about an overall group of islands that offerseverything and is not yet known.

If we want to live the way you wanted to whenyou came here, you've got to do it yourself.

South Pender Islanders have asked for help inkeeping South Pender the way they want it. PenderIsland Chamber of Commerce has taken a similar step.So has Salt Spring Island Chamber o f Commerce.

How?They have asked for the implementation of that

legislation which already exists to keep things theway we want.

It's a bit late. A lot of the developments whichhave stirred up concern among islanders should haveprompted earlier action in this direction.

But it's not too late.Get behind the Regional District and give a push

and before you know it the whole thing will besettled.

If you want to be sure that you'll have the chanceto live the way you want you'll have to look for aplan of action.

Don't sit back and invent epithets for land dev-elopers. Come forward and speak up for yourself.

Or forever hold your peace !Planning is the establishment or the retention of a

background to living.How could we do otherwise?

LETTERS TO THE EDITORI IK DID 1 IIS DUTYEditor, Driftwood,

May I, through the courtesyof your columns^, express, onbehalf of my wife and myself,our gratitude to our fellow-is-landers on Maync, for themarvellous show they put on tomark my retirement fromactive participation in the Is-land's public life.

It came as a complete sur-prise to us, and, for perhapsthe first time in my life I foundit difficult to turn a suitablephrase to express our thanks anddelight.

We are still wondering why,as during our residence onMayne, we cannot see that wehave done much more than ourduty to our fellow men in thecivic life of the island. That it

has been appreciated would beample reward.

We wish to thank all whoin any way contributed to thismemorable event, with per-haps special mention to FredDodds and Jesse Brown, onwhom the bulk of the organiza-tion seems to have devolved,and, most particularly to "TheLadies of Mayne", whom Ihave very frequently had tothank for their help in theCommissary Department, and,who, last Saturday night, farexcelled any show they had pre-viously put on for anything inwhich I had any part. Theirstandard of excellence was al-ways high, but I think theyhave now set themselves a stan-dard even they will find diffi-

cult to maintain.Once again, Mayne Islanders

from the bottom of our hearts,THANK YOU each and all.W.W. Hunt-Sowrey,Mayne Island, B.C.June 14, 1969

***COMPLAIN DIRECTEditor, Driftwood,

In the last edition of yourpaper considerable space wasused for the very laudable sub-ject of pollution.

For the record and the infor-mation of people on the Westside of the Island, wheneverevidence of wood chips or othersubstances suspected of comingfrom the Pulp & Paper Mill, afar better way of getting actionwould be to call the managerof the mill rather than all thebranches of the B. C. Gov't.

He is more vitally interestedin this problem than you canimagine both from an expenseitem and a public relations as-pect and I can assure you hewill as soon as advised sendsomeone to inspect the prob-lem and do something aboutits cause.

Incidently, altho* the waterwas very dirty at my beach, itwas all seaweed and naturaldrift w-ith no evidence of chipsor otherwise.

Also for the record I amsending Mr. Geo. Flater a copyof this letter and would be mosthappy to act for him in anycomplaints on Salt Spring Is-land.P. A. Frattinger,R.R. 1, Ganges.June 15, 1969

SILVER SPOONSFOR LUCKY NEWPENDER BABIES

On Saturday, May 31, aparty was held in Port Washing-ton Hall by the Women's Ins-titute to present a silver spoonto each of seven babies born toIsland families in the pastyear.

The babies played happilyor slept while their mothersvisited together and enjoyed thetea. There were a few tears butthese were short lived.

Three former members of theInstitute who are grandmotherswere also present and enjoyedthemselves talking over pasttimes.

Ambulance

Twenty-four members of theLions Club involved in operatingthe ambulance on Salt SpringIsland met Thursday night toconsider how best they couldkeep up this service.

Each man, they agreed,ought to remain within reachof nis phone from 1 am to 1 pmfor, on an average, one day outof seven. But the nature of mostmen's occupation makes thisvirtually impossible.

Yet to pay a full-time driverto stand by, 12 hours a day,seven days a week, would be socostly as to necessitate raisingthe ambulance charges.

A great many suggestionswere put forward for partial sol-utions, and a committee struckto investigate further.

"It is all part of the continu-ing review of ways in which theLions can serve the community"said a committee member.

After tea a spoon was present'ed to each baby by Mrs. H. G.Scott who had also provided lit-tle cup cakes for the mothersto take to the other childrenwho had to be left at home.

COMMUNITYPLANNING(From Page One)

Detailed local planning,such as location of roads andparks, control over subdivisionssize of lots, etc., would haveto be requested specifically byresidents, the speaker told themeeting.

At the moment, what Mr.Roberts called " complicationson the organizational side"stand in the way of bringingeither regional or local plan-ning to Pender and the otherislands.

Jurisdiction of the CapitalRegion Planning Board extendsfrom Sooke to Swartz Bay, butdoes not include the Gulf Is-lands.

The Capital Region District,which does include among itsmembers representati ves fromSalt Spring Island and the Out-er Gulf Islands, exercised noauthority in the area of plan-ning.

Mr. Roberts was explainingthe relation between his owngroup and the district admini-stration. The planner speaksfor the Capital Region Plan-ning Board, established in 1951to seek an orderly pattern ofdevelopment for the area ,around the city of Victoria.

The Capital Regional Dist-rict is a level of governmentbetween municipal and provin-cial. It is concerned with thoseproblems which affect all mun-icipalities and administrativefunctions in its own area.

The Capital Regional Dist-rict is empowered to administ-er planning of communitieswithin its territory, but has notas yet, extended into thisfield.

In the meantime, continuedMr. Roberts, members of bothboards are aware of the con-cern expressed by island resi-dents.

One such expression of con-cern was submitted recently tothe Regional District Board byresidents of South Pender Is-land.

A petition signed by 95°/o ofSouth Pender property ownerscalled for regulations whichwould control land subdivisionon the island.

Residents called attentionto the "city-lot type of sub-division" which they said hadcreated both water and sewageproblems on some of the GulfIslands.

Such problems, they said,could be avoided by institutingimmediate planning in an arealike South Pender, which so faihas not been subdivided intovery small pieces of property.

DELVE-IN ISSUCCESSFULIN TWO WAYS

Tne Delve-In was a successhistorically and financially.

Other business discussedconcerned another edition ofGulf Islands Patchwork which isout of print again and the de-mand by both islanders andtourists has been considerable.It was decided the Gulf IslandsBranch be responsible for ano-ther printing and Mr. and Mrs.John Freeman of Pender wereput in charge of the arrange-ments.

HOSPITAL FROM THE INSIDEBy MARY BACKLUND

Life is really a mys teriousweb of circumstances overwhich we as mere human be-ings, have no control. Oneminute we think we haveeverything we need, we aredriving away up to a beautifulspot at North Galiano for a rea]fun day, then out of the clearblue, a grinding crash, thequick pain of being injured,and foggy uneasy thoughts thatcome with the shock of a caraccident.

All of a sudden, just in aquick flash, life is immediat-ely changed. We are not head-ed for a real fun day, we drawwithin ourselves, and worry a-bout many little things, and aGreater Hand than ours takesover, and sees that we are nottaken to The Great Beyond,but we are injured enough toupset many lives before theday is over.

For what seems an eternity,but only about half an hour,we stagger around, along withthe other injured one, sayingfoolish things, and worryingabout only seeing the friendlyface of our own "Doc". Thenalong comes a young friend,and sure enough, he bringsthat man to us. We feel a gooddeal easier then, and he gentlytakes us to his own home for ashort while, to enable othernecessary investigations to becarried out.

Along come our loved ones,worried and anxious, and we,in turn, worry about the littledog who was travelling with us.We are assured that afl is beingtaken care of, and receivemedication to ease the pain ofour body.

used at a first-aid course as amodel because we were thesmallest in class, it wassome experience to be liftedby strong arms of fiiends andR. C.M.P., into the one al-ways kept at the Barner farm.

We were then taken to LadyMinto Hospital by the M. P. 53,where awaited the staff, andDr. Jarman, all ready for any-thing that seemed to be wrong.

After q uick exam, andsome questions by the nurse onduty, we were undressed by thequietly efficient nurses. Wewere worried by the conditionof clothes, which took quite abeating, but assured that allwould be taken care of. Thenblissful sleep.

During the next many days,we saw the workings of our ownhospital from the viewpoint ofa patient, not just a visitor,and found such a bustle of act-ivity and efficiency, that wejust had to tell you all about it,

Many of the staff are friends,and it is so comforting to seethe familiar faces when we arefeeling that we are at the endof our tether. They were all sovery kind and good to us, thatwe were in tears most of thetime, in thanks for their kind-nesses, and wondering how andwhy we had been spared to liveanother day.

We got to know the variousvoices of the many doctors,and never cease to marvel attheir patience and stamina,they have such long hours, andnever, ever seem to be anydifferent than when they begantheir day. We know that allkinds of operations are perform-ed every day, and all peopletreated for their ills.

The director of nursing, Mrs.Annie Barnes, also works along day, and knows that herstaff is of the highest calibre.

The ladies who do the clean-ing seem to keep at it nightand day, and they are assistedby the Ladies Auxiliary, whocome in to care for the flowersfor the patients.

Every day we seem to be bet-ter, and we are finally dis-charged, to stay with friends foiyet another couple of days, tobe sure of recovery.

Home looks real good to us,as we sit and recuperate, andthink of the host of friends whohave gone out of their way to b<be kind to us, and we awakenevery morning to thank God weare spared, not ver to -are spared, not ever to knowwhy, but the only thing we cando is to try and be a better citi-zen in every way.

TWO NEW ISLAND HOMESBY SEA

Sechelt Queen sailed late toTsawwassen on Wednesday ev-ening last week. She was de-layed by a house.

First mammoth mobile hometo be shipped to the island viathe Tsawwassen Long Harbourferry measured 12 feet wide by54 feet long. The home hadbeen transported from Vancou-ver Island via Swartz Bay. Theferry slips at Vesuvius and Crof-ton are probably too narrow toaccept a 12 ft. vehicle. The

wharf is also limited toless than 11 feet.

There were only two vesselswhich would accommodate themassive unit. The Queen ofSidney, from Swartz Bay toTsawwassen is the only majorferry without a double deck ofcars. The Sechelt Queen is theother vessel.

At Tsawwassen the homewent aboard without incident,although loading was slow anddeliberate.

When the unloading programstarted at Long Harbour the ves-sel was brought into the slip atan angle to provide as straightan unloading line as possible.

First time off, the trailerwas a fraction of an inch toowide for the opening. Driverjogged his position severaltimes but the trailer was stillin the wrong position to workthrough the opening.

Crews jacked the unit side-ways on the deck and placed itin a suitable position. Whenthe home was half way out onthe ramp its position was stillout of line with the roadway.

A line was attached to thecapstan at the stern of the fer-ry vessel and the trailer washauled sideways.

Unloading started at about4.15. At nearly 5.15 the mo-bile home stood, free and un-

Rev. Leslie D. Wall workofficiated at a double-ring cere'mony in Cordova Bay UnitedChurch on. May 30, 1969 whenDonna Lynne, eldest daughterof Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth W.Ralph exchanged vows with Lar-ry Dennis Gait, son of Mr. andMrs. Victor Gait.

The bride formerly lived onSalt Spring Island with her par-ents.

Given in marriage by herfather the bride was radiant ina white lace dress featuring fullsleeves of appliqued French laceand matching veil. The brides-maid, Miss Doreen Ralph worea pastel mauve and pink dresswith billowed sleeves; the flow-er girl, Miss Karen Ralph waslovely in a pastel pink dressaiqfl^atching headpiece,- Allthree carried bouquets of cas-cading pink roses and carna-tions.

Mr. Fred Gait acted as bestman while Jim Ralph, brother of

Ferry officials had somemisgivings.

The tide must be right, thetiming must be right and theremust be time to transfer such aload without delaying the ferry,explained a spokesman.

Ship sailed rather more thana half-hour late.

INSTITUTEBy BEA HAMILTON

The Women's Institutewound up the season with ameeting held at the home ofMrs. R. Rutter on Thursday.Business was settled and thedate of August 9 was picked foran all-out entertainment in theFulford Hall — more aboutparticulars later, but keep thatdate, Aug. 9, open. It will beenjoyable.

The members also have ten-tative arrangements for a mem-bers* party or picnic sometimein July, so all members keepon the alert. You will be noti-fied.

The Border Picnic — ayearly get-together of all bran-ches of the W.I. on VancouverIsland and the Port Angelesmembers — is scheduled forAugust 7. at Port Angeles thisyear — last year Victoria hadthe honour. This is always anenjoyable affair and takes alittle time — either the 6.30ferry from Fulford to enablemembers to catch the 9 am fer-ry to Port Angeles or an over-night stay. But it is worth a lit-tle effort. A few members arethinking of attending.

A petition for safer drivingby all car owners was unani-mously endorsed by the mem-bers present. This is a provincewide effort to have all carowners educated in all safetyrules before they are allowed todrive. This might save manylives if it goes over.

A rather timely poem open-ed the meeting and readersmight enjoy reading it — sohere we are — it was origin-ally from the B.C. Motor Veh-icles Branch Bulletin, and wefound it in the W.I. News Let-ter.

10 little drivers, cruisingdown the line; one had a heavyfoot and then there were nine.

9 little drivers; the hour wasgetting late; one dozed a mo-ment and then there were eight.

DELVE INTO HISTORYUnder the auspices of the

Gulf Islands Branch of the B. C.Historical Association a mostsuccessful "Delve-In" was heldin the Hall at Port Washingtonon June 7 and 8.

In preparation for this eventthe school children were askedto draw replicas of some of theold ships which used to sail theGulf and put in at the wharveson Pender Island. The museumin Victoria kindly loaned pic-tures from the archives for themto study. The drawings were allhung on the walls of the Hallalong with the borrowed pic-ture* "o the public could seethen.. 'A list of prize: winnerswill be found at the end of thisreport.

An imaginative story of anIndian and Captain Cook hadbeen read to the school childrenone day, and a hand made dollborrowed from the Shirley Wo-men's Instate was used to illus-trate it. This gave the pupilssome insight into how closelythe native population was linkedwith the early explorers. Mr.Sendey of the ArchaeologicalDepartment of the museum gavea talk at the school, illustratedby slides a few days prior to theDelve-In. This was open to anyIslanders who wished to hear it.

On Friday afternoon fifteenpupils from Saturna Island, ac-companied by their teachers,came over to see the exhibitsand watch the play put on byseveral of the pupils. It was anIndian legend of the beginningof the Earth from the Sepass po-ems and was most beautifullypresented a number of timesduring the two days. The twonarrators were Lorrie Ames orLynette Kent; Sun God - BillyGiesbrecht or Johnny Christian-son; Moon Goddess - EileenGrimmer or Lynette Kent. Allshowed a great response to thecareful training they had hadfrom Miss Norma Douglas whoplanned the "Delve-In".

Th e exhibits were many andvaried from a hand made wagorwheel and a hand cultivator toa couple of wedding dresses,one of which was of Belgianlace made by the wife of aBelgian who worked in the brictyard after the first world war.She gave the lace, which is

now Tifty years old, in gratitudeto an Island bride whose motherhad befriended her when herfirst baby was born. The otherdress of white satin was loanedto be worn by the first MayQueen on the island and along-side it was one of the beadedmini-dresses of the 1920's.

Many old books and photo-graphs were displayed which re-called old stories of the Island'searly history. Of great interestwere artifacts found here andelsewhere of a much older per-iod of time.

It would be impossible toenumerate all the many thingswhich were loaned by manypeople but they showed the pos-sibility of making a museumright in our own locality. Theviewers all agreed it had beena most worthwhile effort andmany suggestions have beenmade for a future show.

Thanks are due to the manypeople too numerous to men-tion, who helped in any way toput over the "Delve-In".

MAYNEBy ELSIE BROWN

We have all come down outof the clouds after our SpecialOccasion last Saturday June 7and the general consensusseems to be that everyone hada good time. Walter Hunt-Sowrey has never been in favorof having his name mentionedother than in connection withhis various offices he has heldin organizations on Mayne andso now he has become a social-ite overnight.

We do thank Frank Richardsof DRIFTWOOD for an outstanding job of reporting and it wasnice to sit with hands foldedfor a change — not even asmall note book. How does onechange from being a down-at-heel reporter to being guest athead table and how can youget a note book in an eveningbag? Perhaps some of my con-temporaries on the distaff sidecan fill me in.

Extra copies of DRIFTWOODhave been in great demand ar-ound our island and we are sureMr. Driftwood will have torun off an extra batch.

Congratulations again toWalter and Kitty Hunt-Sowrey.(We are coming over one ofthese days to try out the chair).

By BEA HAMILTONSpending a very pleasant

week recently at the home ofMr. and Mrs. F. L. Jackson wasMrs. E.T. Weatherly of Nan-aimo.

Mrs. W.Y. Stewart returnedhome after visiting the homeof Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Wilson ofWesley Drive, Victoria.

Mr. and Mrs. Sam Westonof Richmond, B.C. spent a few

, days in their cottage in the' Valley. Accompanying themwere their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Wes-ton and Mr. Weston's (ST. )mother, Mrs. Gertrude Weston.Hope the family enjoyed ourlovely Salt Spring weather.

Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Fraserand son Don paid a visitFraser's brother, Mr. M.Hern over the week-end. Mr.Hern's mother, Mrs. Hern, ST.from Empress (near Sask.) isstaying with her son for a visit.The Frasers returned to Calgarythis week.

The heat-wave was headingfor 90 on Monday noon so Irefused to look at it again, andleft it alone at 88. But the coolbreezes were lovely. It's just agood old fashioned summer —the kind many of us Islandersgrew up under.

Mrs. R.R. Alton won thebird-guessing contest at the75th anniversary garden partyfor St. Mary's Church at Ful-ford.

There were two second prizewinners when Mrs. Mary Horeland Miss Betty Gait tied.

TRAILERS ON ISLAND

No RestrcfionThere is no restriction on

the use of camping trailers onthe islands.

Large mobile homes face arestriction if the unit is withouta septic tank or sewer system.

At a recent meeting of theSalt Spring Island Chamber ofCommerce it was stated that

MUSIC COURSEIN VICTORIA FORFIVE WEEKS

Victoria Summer School ofMusic whose students have vis-ited Salt Spring Island the lasttwo years, will operate for fiveweeks this summer.

Commencing July 2, it willcontinue until August 8.

The school is directed byClayton Hare and DorothySwemam, from Maine.

restrictions were to be imposedon the use of trailers.

Government officials knewof no such plans, DRIFTWOODwas told.

Sanitary inspector for theislands, D. Anderson, explain-ed that if any owner plans tobring a mobile home to the is-lands he should first check withthe Greater Victoria Metropol-itan Board of Health. Wheresanitary facilities in the mob-ile unit require connection to asewer system the property mustbe checked and a system mustbe installed before it is used.

Where the trailer requiresno such connection, then it isof no concern DRIFTWOOD wastold.

Electrical service may beconnected irrespective of thestate of the plumbing, notedthe health board.
