What's apathy? Also important is the community's apparent reluctance to debate the far- reaching possibilities of a joint com munity and school board recreational initiative. Public discussion and debate on this subject must happen soon. There are several possible explana tions for this atypical island apathy: winter doldrums, an intense focus on international news, and a post-election aversion to public meetings. Winter is not usually a good time to motivate people into action: a night at home in front of the fire can be more appealing than attending at a meeting. Indeed, many people had their fill of meetings during the November election campaigns for Capital Regional Dis trict, Islands Trust and school board positions. In addition, many islanders (as indi cated by the Driftwood Letters Section) are directing energy to the war in the Persian Gulf. Whether this energy in volves keeping a close watch on media coverage of the war, debate on the sub ject, or drafting a letter- to-the-editor, the focus may have taken precedence over local issues. Whatever the reason, apathy is an unfortunate condition at this time on Salt Spring. Public meetings provide a forum for community input; the seeds of new American love affair with right to bear arms

—• • Spinning vehicle nets driver a $40 penalty An island youth found driving on snow-covered Salt Spring roads in mid-December more than just a little tricky. The youth was observed spinning his vehicle in the snow on Rainbow Road and a charge of driving at an excessive speed relative to road conditions brought him to Ganges provincial court earlier this month. A school board worker, who watched the young driver spin his vehicle in a circle twice, became concerned for the safety of children in the area, and notified police. The youth told the court he had not driven in snow before and ex perienced difficulty controlling the vehicle on the slippery road. Judge Hudson imposed a fine of $40 and the youth will loose six points from his safe driving record for insurance purposes.

Current CPA chairman Syd Wigen says the group was initiated two decades ago, "because of uncon trolled development that was hap pening on the island." To provide guidelines for this development, the CPA devised the island's first community plan.

Through CPA participation in the for Islands Trust's Advisory Planning Commission, Wigen says his group's role "is to see to it that thecommunity plan is in the forefront of the commission's decisions." Wigen says the CPA's philosophy is to try to deal objectively with each issue that arises and wherever pos sible to promote a non-confrontation al approach.
