BY SEAN MCINTYRE DRIFTWOOD STAFF When the Gibsons moved to their property in 1970, Rain- bow Road was little more than a rough dirt track leading into the wilderness. Much of that wilderness could be found in the Gibsons’ front yard, a place where years of neglect allowed broom and brush to grow rampant. Through decades of hard work, the Gibson have managed to carve out their very own piece of paradise. Today, a fl ower garden, greenhouses and towering arbutus trees adorn the couple’s yard. Keeping things in check has become a daily routine for Andy Gibson and his wife, whose combined ages amount to 180 years. “We’ve worked hard to keep this property tidied up,” said Andy Gibson, seated at his dining room table surrounded by ceiling-high bookshelves and overlooking yet more plants in the property’s backyard. “In any event, they did it and it’s going to have various effects and so it means a great deal to us.” “They,” in this case, refers to the British Columbia Trans- mission Corporation (BCTC), the company which has made headlines over the last two years for its plan to string high- voltage power lines across Salt Spring Island. The corporation won the right to increase the amount of power on an existing B.C. Hydro right of way between the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island to guarantee a steady power supply for residents and industry. The demand for power has, however, found its way to the middle of the Gibson’s front yard. “We now have 11 lines running over our property so we PHOTO BY SEAN MCINTYRE have quite a network,” Gibson said, walking over to a grove Elizabeth and Andy Gibson are trying to get the British Columbia Transmission Corporation to reconsider removing a grove of of mature trees on the Hydro right of way, less than 100 trees from their front yard. metres from his front door.

He is used to the puzzled looks that he gets back. The Vancouver-born former locksmith and architectural tech- nician was always interested in mechanics and fi rst concentrated on building show-stopping, chop- per-style motorcycles while still a teenager. In 1969, he bought a 1960 Corvette from the old Gladstone Motors on Vancouver’s Kingsway to keep him out of the rain for the winter. The car had both the con- vertible top and a black “wrinkle paint” removable hardtop.
