BY SEAN MCINTYRE DRIFTWOOD STAFF The “reduce, reuse and recycle” mantra has been harder to recite since new rules governing how business owners dispose of their recyclable materials came into effect late last year. That’s when the Rainbow Road Recycling Depot, operated by the Salt Spring Island Community Services Society (SSIC- SS), elected to no longer accept non-residential material. More than half a year later, a failure to clarify the contract between SSICSS and the Capital Regional District (CRD) has left people on the lookout for creative ways to get rid of their cardboard and other recyclable materials. “We are supposed to be a progressive recycling commu- nity, yet I am not allowed to bring cardboard or paint cans to the [recycling depot] for my customers,” said Ken Marr, who works at Windsor Plywood. “It is unbelievable, and it goes on and on and on.” Even with businesses turned on to the idea of recycling, he said, local government does not provide a way for them to recycle their garbage without having to shell out the fees. At Mouat’s, some of the cardboard gets picked up by local gardeners and nursery owners. The gardeners help reduce costs, but a fee is still involved for other materials.

NEW TRUCKS Big honkin’ truck releases ‘inner Albertan’ 2007 Chev Silverado king of the crop BY ANDREA RABINOVITCH DRIFTWOOD STAFF You can take the Albertan out of Alberta, but your neck will always be just a little bit red. Born and raised in the City of Champions — Edmonton — I know that its beef eatin’ culture is as inbred as West Coast- ers’ hedonistic treks to Mexico in January. Because I dated a few rural-with-an-artistic-bent types, a hybrid that does exist in Wild Rose Country, or because I dated in Alberta at all, sooner or later you fi nd yourself try- ing to navigate into a truck in a short skirt. Those days are long gone, thank God, but I thought that it was about time to reconnect with my “inner Albertan” after residing for four years in lotus land. Off I went to corral a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado at Victoria Motor Products on the corner of Finlayson and Douglas. Gerald O’Toole, sales manager, enlightened me on the difference between West Coasters and the buyers of the “big honkin’ truck” in the neighbouring provinces. Apparently, people here use them for pragmatic reasons: for towing, for work, for landscaping needs. You’ll often see motor bikes in the box. People in Alberta drive trucks as an aesthetic choice, though I’m sure that the word “aesthetic” is not in their vocabulary. The size of their truck is directly proportionate to the size of their ego or a more tangible body part, or so they would like you to think. I spotted a pretty silver truck and immediately felt the spirit of Ralph Klein invade my being. Thanking Cornelia, my yoga teacher, I managed to hurl myself up into the seat with not too much effort. PHOTO BY GERALD O’TOOLE TRUCK continued on 23 Andrea Rabinovitch gets back to her roots with the 2007 Chev Silverado.

With the all-new 2007 Sierra Heavy-Duty pickups, awesome power is an integral part of the package. The standard engine is the Vortec 6.0L V8 with variable valve timing. Matched with Sierra’s new six-speed Hydra-Matic transmission, it delivers a gross combined weight rating of 8392 kg (18,500 lb.). For even more performance, specify the available Duramax Diesel 6.6L V8. It generates 365 horsepower and an impressive 660 lb.-ft. of torque from as low as 1600 rpm - the most horsepower and the most torque in any heavy-duty pickup* - for a fi fth wheel trailer rating of 7484 kg (16,500 lb.). The Duramax Diesel is also an environmentally responsible choice, thanks to advanced features like B5 bio-diesel compatibility, a “smart” turbocharger that reduces emissions and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
