GULF ISLANDS Driftwood YOUR<> COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER SINCE 1960 GREEN Governments and corporations are taking major steps to reduce their environmental impact but the opportunity to live greener belongs to each of us. The Fall Fair Committee wanted to send the message that each one of us can take small steps to make our world a greener place. Four years ago we embarked on our environmental management plan for the Fair garbage/recycling/ grounds. Our ideas and methods, while seemingly simple steps, have far dish pick up stations reaching consequences. Our volunteers built twelve garbage/recycling/dish pick up stations. Our theory was that if you build it, people will use it! Use it they did and last year we reduced our trash component by 50%. We instituted a free shuttle bus service from downtown to the Fair Grounds. Thousands of people utilized the service, consequently a corresponding decrease in vehicular traf¿ c. Another in- novation is our dish washing service. We have virtually eliminated the need for paper and plastic plates. The local chapter of the Girl Guides operate this service for us. Our garbage pick-up and sorting pro- free shuttle bus service gram is handled by the Junior Golf Program from the Salt Spring Golf Club. All bottles and cans that can be returned are sent for refund and the proceeds used for charitable purposes. We purchased an electric utility vehicle for use by the garbage/recycle volunteers...another simple green initiative. By encouraging youth groups to participate, we feel we are planting the “enviro” seed early. We purchased 2 electric golf carts and had them rebuilt for use as people movers for our senior and handicapped visitors. We call this unique service our “Fall Fair Express.” We have used a few examples of our program so that you might recognize some of the results as you enjoy the Fair. Below is the comment of the dish washing service Fair Adjudicator from the B.C. Association of Agricultural Fairs and Exhi- bitions... “ Your stands for washing bins, recycling, and trash containers, were the best we have ever seen, and what a great idea to have REAL dishesdishdiishhehe (plastic) to eat off of, sure saved on the amount of trashtrat that went out. You should get a green award.” Yes, wewe ccan all make a difference.....step by step.

fall fair express 2 © FAIRTIME 2011 À oral section

AND GROWING As you enter the big double doors to the main exhibition hall you are immediately exposed to the impressive growing component of Salt Spring life. Right in front of you is the À oral section. Displays of all À owers, plants, greenery, potted plants, cactus and À oral art. Virtually every variety from Asters to Zinnias are lovingly cultured and grown. In some cases, it is a matter of simply planting a seed and nurturing the plant, in other cases, it takes years to cultivate the desired result. For fruits and vegetable displays those that think all gardens should be used for food, remember that À owers are often used for companion planting to control insects and weeds. And, they provide nectar for bees which we need to pollinate our tree fruits.

A right turn at the end of the À oral section will lead you to the fruits and vegetable displays. Here, some of the ¿ nest produce grown in the country can be seen, all beautifully presented. Apples, pears, plums, and berries of every variety can be seen. Ribbons and trophies junior horticulture are awarded and hotly contested by the exhibitors of all the fruits and vegetable varieties. In this same area, you will see displays of Fam- ily Horticulture and Junior Horticulture. Pay particular attention to the junior horticulture section...we are all counting on these little growers to feed us one day!! Outside is yet another display of growing. The ¿ eld crops display. You will see some incredible giant pumpkins, huge zucchinis and entries and displays by some of the commercial farmers. These types of displays are what we generally think of as “growing” but every other aspect of growing is represented... all types of poultry, including many heritage breeds, and livestock can be ¿ eld crops seen. Every where you look there is evidence of growing. As you feast your eyes on the wonderment of these displays, think about “growing” because growing has to grow !!...as we strive for food security.

HYDRO-FRACTURING AND WATER WELL-DRILLING Did you know it is possible to improve the yield of an existing well? Hydro-fracturing is a technology that was first developed in the oil and gas industry. The theory behind the technology is that by injecting high pressure water into rock formations, the existing cracks and fissures in the bedrock can be opened and flushed out, thereby allowing fluid to travel more freely through the ground. In fact, some claim that new fractures can actually be created in solid rock. As well as drilling high quality water wells for more than 42 years, we have been doing hydro-fractures for over 15 years. Drillwell has the largest volume /pressure system in the province. Consequently we have been called on to perform this service in Lillooet, Logan Lake, Bowen Island, Quadra Island, Victoria, Sooke, Salt Spring (of course), and throughout the Cowichan Valley. The success rate is very high (average approx. 90%). Our most dramatic successes have been in turning wells, which were basically dry, into wells capable of producing 5 to 10 gallons per minute. Will hydro-fracturing work for your well? The short answer to that question is...maybe. It depends on the rock type, the depth of the well, and the occurrence of good water bearing formations in a given area. To get more information on hydrofracturing, or any other aspect of ground water and wells please call Drillwell. Available 7 days a week.
