I HPFISJ m^MONI - SAT MasterCard]! 8 * WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21,2001 • OPINIO S Nothing to brag about hat are we now? That is one of the questions asked by the Salt WSpring Island Local Government Restructure Committee in information being mailed to islanders this week. The committee answers by listing the services we now enjoy and the agencies responsible for providing them. But the real answer is that we are nothing but a bit of unorganized territory, a piece of rural British Columbia in which a hodge-podge of government bodies attempts to plug the gaps in local services. For the most part they succeed, but not in a manner that would give us reason to brag of our good fortune. Ten thousand people living with the disorganization created by the lack of a single government body to take care of their affairs with a reasonable level of accountability have nothing to brag about. But hope is on the horizon. The information being released by the restructure committee indi­ cates an increase in taxes of between $136 and $224 on the average- priced home, and that's before factoring in potential grants. From a financial standpoint, incorporation of Salt Spring Island does not appear unaffordable. But what islanders must do next is carefully weigh the other issues against the tax increase. Local control will bring local accountability, with open, public meetings held on-island to manage our affairs. But will it also put special interest groups into majority positions on council? It is anticipated that the delivery of services will be a priority for a municipal council, and that land-use planning might get short shrift as a result. Would islanders support a lower priority for the Islands Trust mandate? Published every Wednesday by Driftwood Publishing Ltd.

I, Z\JU I » 13 Christmas Ship set en route to several island destinations Gulf Islands families making plans for Christmas-time tra­ ditions should know the Lions International Christmas Ship cruise is set for Saturday, December 8. The schedule as released last week has the "Santa ship" arriving first at Lyall Harbour on Saturna at 11:45 a.m.; at Port Washington on North Pender at 1 p.m.; in Miners Bay on Mayne at 2:30 p.m.; Montague Harbour on Galiano at 3:45 p.m.; and at Ganges by 6 p.m. The Christmas Ship has brought Santa and his helpers to the Gulf Islands, followed by a trip through the San Juan Islands, annually for more than 50 years. Gifts are given to all children who want to visit with Santa at his stops. Funds are always needed to ensure the tradition continues, and local Lions clubs are now the contact groups.
