Hydro field manager after six straight 16-hour days trying to deal with the aftermath of three storms that knocked out power to most Gulf Island homes.. "It started (last) Tuesday, and everyone has been going steady since," Smith said in an exhausted voice Monday from his Ganges office. "I've never seen anything like this." High winds started battering the area early Tuesday, uprooting trees that brought power lines crashing to the ground. With most repairs completed by Thursday, another, even-stronger > storm hit early Friday morning. At its height, three of Salt Spring's four feeder lines were down. Winds gusting to almost 150- km-per-hour stalled most repair operations and forced B.C. Ferries to report it had shut down all oper ations (except to Bowen Island and the Sunshine Coast) at about 2 p.m. The final blow came early Monday morning when another Up to their ears feeder was knocked off-line by a Lucille Marcotte, left, and Lana Tait are surrounded by azaleas, Spring.

I REFUSES TO MIX ANY KIND OF here is a lesson in one of the two records broken on Salt Spring V. WATER WITH HIS BEER! TSaturday. rouata,n The first record was the election of Peter Wigen who, at 23, will be the youngest trustee ever to sit on the Gulf Islands School Board. The second record was the lowest voter turnout — an appalling six per cent — ever seen in a local election. To Wigen we offer our congratulations. To the other four candi dates for the seat formerly held by Jane Parlee we say thanks for putting up your names. To the voters we say shame on you. When nominations closed we wrote to commend the five candi dates for entering a race whose prize is of questionable value. The school board is a vassal of the provincial education ministry, which dictates how it operates and how much money it will operate with. As we have seen in the last six months, the job of a school trustee is not an enviable one. There are too many challenges and too few opportunities to address them. The financial crisis has been deferred with a bail-out by the provincial government. It is an issue that will return to challenge the school board again. Yet despite the ugly prospects five islanders felt strongly enough to run for trustee. It's too bad that the voters didn't feel as strongly. We had thought public education funding was still an important topic among islanders, that concern for the system would translate into a reasonable turnout at the polls. How wrong we were. How quickly we can forget the problems of the past. We also believed that more voters would respect the commit ment of the five candidates enough to make the effort to cast a bal lot. Wrong again. The lesson in all this is that it's a waste of money to hold a mid term election for school trustee. The triennial local elections are coming up this fall, when all the seats come open on the school board, Islands Trust and Capital Regional District board. It would have been better to wait until then rather than spend $7,000 on Saturday's election. Forget unemployment rate, Provincial legislation mandates how long a seat can remain unfilled. It should be changed to allow more time — perhaps a year or more — before an election must be held, so that precious these men don't deserve jobs resources are not wasted on opening polls for a tiny fraction of the electorate.
