Published last fall, Spotlight on Salt Spring not only succeeded in detennimng that cats enjoy the af­ fection of a large percentage of households (55 per cent), but it registered the views of a diverse cross-section of the island popula­ tion. Although the response rate would be considered small in terms of obtaining a representative sampling of public opinion (at 210 responses it is slightly over two per cent of the population), there can be no slotting of respondents into category or class. From young families to retirees, to households with incomes under $20,000 to over $60,000 and many in between, the survey managed to entice a response from a fair range of islanders. Another factor ought to be kept in mind when analyzing the figures: the people who responded took the time (half an hour by our estimate) because they share a strong interest in their com­ munity. They care about Salt Spring Island and their responses show it. The results contain a few surprises, but not many. Despite a steady increase in retail services and other amenities in recent years, improving the availability and cost of goods and ser­ vices, there continues to be a steady stream of traffic heading off-is­ land to shop in other centres. Thirty-six per cent of respondents said they shopped elsewhere at least bimonthly. We were not surprised that only 14 per cent felt traffic lights were needed in Ganges (most favoured the Upper-Lower Ganges roads corner for the installation of traffic signals), though we suspect the negative response was more emotional than logical. B.C. Ferries may be surprised that 56 per cent of respondents ac­ tually felt ferry service was good, a verdict with which we have no argument. The recognition by many residents that tourism is important to Environment suffers from the island was reassuring, because it reflects a change in perceptions about our only industry. Fully 95 per cent felt tourism was neces­ sary, although 56 per cent believed it generated less than $2 million rules with urban origins in local revenue. The Chamber of Commerce estimates the actual figure at more than $5 million, while we believe the amount could By JIM CAMPBELL system. Otherwise it would not be $10 million or more.

VICTORIA — An already small Social Credit Party exploded into even tinier fragments this week, leaving the once invincible party, that governed British Columbia almost continuously for 40 years, with only three sitting members in the provincial legislature. It was a doctor-assisted suicide with Jack Weisgerber, Richard Neufeld and Len Fox effectively shutting down Social Credit's life support systems by joining the Reform Party of British Columbia. Anyone who has still nursed hopes that the Socreds could stage a comeback might as well forget it Cliff Serwa, Harry de Jong and Lyall Hanson, the last three Socreds, aren't likely to revive the corpse. This latest, if not last chapter in the 42-year history of the Social Credit Party gives new meaning to the old winds-of-change cliche. Who would have thought seven years ago, when Bill Vander Zalm led the Socreds to an incredible victory, that this powerful party would go out, not even with a bang but a whimper in 1994.

s a result, British Columbia has Canada's most fractured Alegislature in Canada. Opposing the 51 -member NDP govern­ ment are 15 Liberals, three Reformers, three Socreds, two Progres­ sive Democratic Alliance members, as in Gordon Wilson and Judy Tyabji, and independent David Mitchell. The very last chapter has, of course, not yet been written. For starters, expect Hanson to jump into the Reform camp in the near future. Grilled by reporters about his decision to remain with the Socreds, Hanson's response wasn't an enthusiastic endorsement of STARTS his party. THIS SATURDAY There would always be the need for a "free enterprise, personal- C«9Ml4'}#f responsibility party," he said, but he wasn' t certain yet which party March 26, 1994 SOUND & CELLULAR was best suited to fill the void left by the collapse of the Socreds. 41 TRUNK ROAD, DUNCAN 748-4847 And the way I read his remarks, the Liberals aren't a viable choice Offer expires March 31,1994.

Dermott Crofton PRICE dies in Victoria COMPARISON: Salt Spring Island lost one of its oldest residents Sunday when Der­ mott Kenneth Crofton passed away at Central Park Lodge in Vic­ toria. "He enjoyed life and he had a good life," son Mark Crofton said from Victoria Tuesday. "He was surrounded by lots of family and it was a very close and loving fami­ ly." Born May 17,1904 in the fami­ ly home at the head of Ganges Harbour which later became the Harbour House Hotel, Dermott Crofton was one of seven children of pioneer Fred Crofton and Nona Wilson. Strong and athletic by all ac­ counts, Crofton was a natural at rugby, tennis, field hockey, bas­ (Q ketball or any other sport he put his mind to. He built three clay tennis courts at his family home in the mid-1920s, which were con­ sidered among the finest this side 754 of Vancouver. Alan Best was one of Crofton's opponents on the court many times Gone in 5 minutes! Lasts a full week! and remembers his athletic ability, his enthusiasm and his sense of humour. He also said Crofton was good at field hockey. In the days Here's an even better deal when island families would gather on the field next to Mahon Hall and play hockey, the Crofton family was always an important com­ ponent.
