OCTOBER 2, 1996 OPINION GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Transition house funding n a perfect world, the Gulf Islands wouldn't need a transition I house to help women and children escaping abusive relation ships. In a semi-perfect world, the transition house would be fully funded by government at the $24(),(XK) annually which the Gulf Islands Women's Resource Network estimates is required for the facility. But in the real world, which is a good distance from perfect, the best the government can do is $30,000 to help the network volun teers keep the doors open. Perhaps, at this point, that is the best we can expect. Even those dollars were wrestled from the government by an outpouring of community support for the project. The transition house has always enjoyed a high level of support — starting with the donation of the house itself — as befits a cause linked to moth erhood and as sacred as apple pie. But it's pie in the sky to expect government backing equal to almost $4,6(X) for every person sheltered by the transition house in its first 13 months of operation. That kind of money isn't in the coffers and likely won't be available for the foreseeable future. Even if the Gulf Islands Women's Resource Network mounts a successful enough campaign-by-lettcrs to garner more of the gov ernment's scarce dollars next March, we question this approach to funding a community service. We believe government funding should be determined by the government's budget and a dispassionate assessment of the com munity's need for the service, not by a letter count. Should num Geese and swans share the waters of Fulford Harbour bers rule, smaller communities like Salt Spring would quickly be Photo by Demefc Lunay overshadowed by larger communities elsewhere in the province. We also believe community support and volunteer efforts, not tax dollars, should be the basis on which the transition house oper ates.

Would-be hunters who decide to use K Hydro power lines for target practice continue to be one of the utility's serious problems. Every year Hydro finds shattered insulators, along with damaged transformers and sub station bushings and has to pay thousands of dollars to repair them. Vandals should know they jeopardize the public's safety, not to mention costing Hydro staff time and customers loss of power. Insulators damaged by gunfire lose their ability to prevent electricity from travelling down a pole and if the insulator is completely shattered, the power line will detach from the pole. BLACK & WHITE Unfortunately vandals often decide to target high-voltage transmission lines that carry power to whole communities. They're risking long prison terms for one moment of foolishness. The Criminal Code of Canada provides up to 14 years imprisonment for willful damage to public property and a lifetime sentence if the damage places REPRINTS another person in danger. Hydro will pay a reward up to $2,500 for information leading to a court NOW ONLY $6 (5x7") conviction. • /^iGitrf Eslands BG hydro Upper Ganges Centre Telephone 328 Lower Ganges Rd. 537-9933 GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD SPORTS & RECREATION WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1996 * 27 Doug Pearson star of 3-1 win pVT-MIDNIGHT over Sidney squad Sunday I Sargeant 's Mercantile 653-9600 By MALCOLM LEGG a left-footer past a bewildered Wall," as the defence is affection Driftwood Contributor Sidney goalie.
