But poll results indicate that large num­ bers of those who did so were unaware of the implications. They A DEFlNITION OF did not know, for example, that they would no longer send Members of Parliament to Ottawa. ''DISTINCT SOCI ETV ''/ In fact, the Yes side was bolstered to a large degree by voters whose ignorance of the meaning of it all is no less appalling than Jacques Parizeau's post-vote speech. The.only reassuring aspect of Monday's exercise was the voter turnout. At slightly over 92 per cent it indicated that while people may have been ignorant of all the details, they cared enough to vote. In all other respects, the referendum's outcome heralds more of the same: dissatisfaction with the status quo on the part of Quebec's political leaders. Their remarks since Monday's vote served notice on the rest of us that this is a baseball game. It ain't over till it's over. And the game ends when Quebec leaves. While the game continues, allow us to suggest a tonic for the referendum blues. Consider the words of the Premier of Vancouver Island, Shannon Salter, a Grade 12 student at Gulf Islands Secondary School, and representative to the Vancouver Island Youth Parliament. The young parliamentarian says in a story this week: "The Vancouver Island Youth Parliament is breeding a whole new kind of politician. Hopefully, we will be more compassionate, honest and effective as the next generation of government." b~IFTWOOO For Canadians with a referendum hangover, Salter's words are a reminder that there really is some hope for the future.

The headline referred to the judge letting a drug traffick­ er go "Scot-free." The story contained little or no reference to the judge's remarks at the time of sentencing, but since such remarks go into the court HEALntY records, which are public documents, I decided to obtain a copy of Owen-Flood's '"oral reasons for sentence." To start with, Owen-Flood quoted from a report of the accused's SAVINGS probation officer. It stated that during the previous 16 months, he had dramatically turned his life around, with the help of a girl he was dating. The two were planning to get married. The probation officer's report also mentions that the defendant had had a disastrous family history of rejection and instability Delicious Owen-Flood noted that both the accused and his girlfriend held full-time jobs, and that he had ''made a substantial change in his life." meals in a

By VALORIE LENNOX Driftwood Staff They came, they saw and they hopped. Ganges Harbour was a port of call for three mini cruise ships over the summer and fall, starting with a visit by the Minneapolis­ based SeaSpirit on August 30. In October, two Seattle-based hips the Executive Explorer and the Wilderness Explorer, both docked in Ganges Harbour. The Executive Explorer came every Wednesday during the month and the Wilderness Explorer came twice. "It takes a lot of coordinating to get them here," said Chamber of Commerce manager Melva Geldreich. But according to reports from merchants, many of the travellers on the ships enriched the local economy during their stay, picking up work from gal­ leries and craft shops.
