�� A8 ▲ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 2004 OPINION GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Stuck with status quo Some Islands Trust Council members have put an admirable amount of energy into finding a way to redistribute Trust tax funds so the larger islands like Salt Spring can get a better deal. Others have been hostile about the concept from the beginning and held that position through the last 16 months when Salt Spring trustee Eric Booth first laid out the financial discrepancy and proposed it be addressed. Unfortunately, only four months after he was elected trustee, Booth caught his colleagues off guard with his demands and they’ve viewed any of his ideas with skepticism ever since. Some trustees have kept the pursuit of “tax equity” in one form or another alive for the past year or so, but it’s obviously now time to put the notion to rest. Debate has been vigorous, but council remains committed to the federation concept that collects the money as if there is no water between Trust communities. Taxpayers on four of the 12 unincorporated islands in the Trust area will pay between $31,00 and $440,000 more for local planning services this year than they receive. Many islanders voted against incorporation in 2002 because they wanted to see what the Islands Trust would come up with in terms of governance renewal, in both fiscal and non-fiscal realms. The answer is now clear. While the Trust will clearly report and track monies it takes in from and spends on each island and try to achieve efficiencies for everyone’s benefit, nothing much else will change. �� There’s slight hope that better coordination between regional dis- �� tricts and the Islands Trust could result from initiatives Trust CAO �� Linda Adams is now investigating. �� But that’s still not governance renewal and still not what a devel- �� opment-stressed community of 10,000 needs. �� If concern about how the Islands Trust would survive without �� such a large subsidy from Salt Spring is blocking the way to full �� local government, perhaps the Trust would consider changing the �� resource-allocation formula so it can take a bit more money from �� Salt Spring, softening the blow when it incorporates and no longer �� contributes a penny to Trust local planning. �� That should get Trust Council approval without much fuss. ‘Because he was, I am’ Letters to the Editor Hardy souls Next year, hopefully. sities on it, hence it is not We would like to thank Greg Gammon provided developable. those hardy souls who par- the expert musicianship that As a neighbourly gesture, — a tribute to a father was greatly appreciated by ticipated in our third annual they could give that land to everyone present.

Photos by Derrick Lundy Well, it’s time to register the golfers’ scorecard: Based upon the voluntary contributions, plus two small fundraising auctions, at least $1,200 will be raised in the first year of the fund. To date the Fickle Fingers Gift Fund has contributed $300 to Doctors without Borders (November 2003) and $200 to the Sida Vida refuge and home for needy street kids in Nicaragua (January 2004). The latest fund project is a commitment of financial support for an impoverished family of four in Honduras. This family, which includes two small children, is struggling to survive on a mini- mal income, which nets them a meager $30 (U.S.) a month. The Fickle Fingers Gift Fund will double that by pledging $30 (U.S.) per month for a minimum of one year starting this month. The golfers recognize that its efforts are small and will not solve the huge problem of poverty, hunger, lack of education and health services to the needy of the world. However, its members feel it is better to make a modest contribution to the problem rather than do nothing at all. They will continue to reach out to the less fortunate as an expression of gratitude for the many bless- ings they enjoy. Anyone wishing to make a financial contribution, golfer or not, or to donate a sale- able item to help raise funds for the needy, is invited to contact Bob Voaden, chair- �� man of the Fickle Fingers Gift Fund, at 537-5351. �� WOW!
