Five Salt Spring boys aged 14 to 16, with some help from their Ventures group leader and other supportive adults, set their sights on owning a beautiful sailing craft and achieved the goal in style. Their tale is inspiring, and they will hopefully be successful in attracting the rest of the support they need to launch the boat called Shadow. Previously published stories about the Core Inn hockey program that sees people of all ages play out their sporting passion, despite a lack of ice, have also been heartening and classic examples of “where there’s a will there’s a way.” So it’s disturbing to learn that night-time lighting for the multi- court at Portlock Park — that enabled more hockey playing — has been curtailed due to vandalism at the park. We don’t buy the argument that there is nothing for kids to do on Salt Spring — that if only we provide the right number and type of facilities that the vandalism will subside. Most of our youth are busy and productive in one way or anoth- er, and the ones choosing to vandalize public property and ruin other kids’ fun would not be placated by a spiffy rec centre. Their problems are likely complicated, with anger and a sense of help- lessness prompting their senseless acts far more than “boredom.” Local police have said in the past that vandalism rises and falls in waves, and is usually caused by the same small group whose members are on a roll. Identifying those individuals and getting them into the island’s youth justice system which could connect them with appropriate forms of help should be a community priority. Anyone who can help with identification should contact the Salt Spring RCMP. The Sea Ventures group and the hockey players are growing up as young people should — rising to productive challenges, learn- ing new skills and having fun. Until we can say the same for every youth on Salt Spring, the lights might remain shut off at Portlock. Letters to the Editor
