BY STACY CARDIGAN SMITH DRIFTWOOD STAFF Some of Salt Spring’s harbours and surrounding areas are on the Federal Contaminated Sites Inventory (FCSI), but islanders likely don’t have to worry about the state of our waters. “It doesn’t mean you have a problem, it just means that you’re looking if you have a problem,” said Jean Crepault, director of Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (FOC) Offi ce of Environmental Coordination. There are 3,889 sites in B.C. listed on the FCSI. Crepault was unable to say how many sites are on or around Salt Spring, but a search of the FCSI website turned up over 30 sites under the Capital F region. All of these fall under FOC’s control. The sites are being assessed as part of the Federal Con- taminated Sites Action Plan, which is a 15-year, $3.5 billion program. The program offi cially began two years ago, but FOC has kept records for the past 10 years, Crepault said. These do not include sites owned by Crown corporations, privately, or by fi rms. For example, Imperial Oil owns a plot PHOTO BY STACY CARDIGAN SMITH of land at 101 Fulford Ganges Road, between the Coast Salt Spring Harbour Authority harbour master Bart Terwiel stands in front of Ganges property owned by Imperial Oil. It is some Guard offi ce and Grace Point Square. of the only vacant land remaining in downtown Ganges. It also does not include sites under provincial jurisdiction, of which there are about 8,000. “[These] are meant to be generically protective for all an impact study on all of Ganges Harbour, which would cost Most of the Capital F sites are small craft harbours. types of land use, and they’re very conservative,” LaCoste too much, Terwiel said. “Those lovely government docks that everyone gets to use said.

No work is currently planned for the Salt Spring area in The Pacifi c region of FOC has 147 small craft harbours. There are a number of ways in which contaminated sites this fi scal year, LaCoste said. Contaminated sites are generally caused by one of three can be dealt with, Crepault said.

In some other cases, higher than ideal concentrations either,” LaCoste said. Sites for initial tests are determined by the amount of human may be found, but concentrations are in the sediment and “The burden to not have these small craft harbours is activities that take place in the region.

Entertainment reservations 653-4833 ARTSPRING FESTIVAL Silk Road winds through ArtSpring for festival show Amazing Orchid Ensemble performs Thursday
Ancient meets modern on Thursday, August 23 at ArtSpring when Vancouver’s Orchid Ensemble presents a multi-media performance of music from the Silk Road combined with video and animated still images. Celia Jiang and Lan Tung have trained for many years in the traditional music of the zheng and erhu, two ancient Chinese instruments. Jonathan Bernard is principal per- cussionist with the Vancouver Island Symphony and plays marimba with the Orchid Ensemble. Together they perform a wide range of music from the various cultures along Asia’s Silk Road. For this event, multi-media artist Donna Szoke has cre- ated a unique presentation that takes the evening beyond a musical performance against a visual backdrop. Szoke employs a new programming language, Jitter, to create visu- als with multiple overlays in a live mix. Here is what Orchid Ensemble says about the show’s purpose: “Themes of travel, cultural difference and cultural specifi city are explored in both the musical selections and visual images, refl ecting our fundamental human similari- ties.” “The evening should be ideally suited to ArtSpring’s excel- lent technical facilities,” said executive director George PHOTO BY DERRICK LUNDY Sipos. “It should also appeal to Salt Spring audiences who TROUBADOUR: Evan McDonough was a colourful sight in the Saturday market on Saturday as he played guitar and har- are always interested in innovative ways of looking at and monica for market-goers and vendors, and managing to keep dry on the showery day. understanding our cultural and social environment.” Tickets for the show, which begins at 8 p.m., are available from the ArtSpring Ticket Centre at 537-2102.

AUTO REVIEW No need to leave ball-gowns behind on RV trip Closet space and other luxuries abound in Fleetwood
BY ANDREA RABINOVITCH DRIFTWOOD STAFF Apparently I dressed inappropriately for my much-antici- pated RV adventure at Arbutus RV in Sidney. The stereotype of the RV frau landing at the cheek-to-jowl park, unloading the easy-chair lawn furniture and containers of plastic fl ow- ers at the entrance, though she may still exist, is no longer correct. The demographic has changed. “Lots of white-collar professionals — lawyers, stock- brokers, doctors — are now buying these units,” corrected Casey Mensink, general manager of Arbutus RV in Sidney. “They’re used to a certain level of comfort at their homes and want that same satisfaction when they travel.” The people featured on the brochure are a fi t, gorgeous couple in their 30s. Comfort indeed. The 2007 Pace Arrow Fleetwood is a 38-foot-long lap of luxury incarnate. Way better than any one-bedroom apartment I’ve ever had, the design is truly remarkable. You press a few buttons and three slide-outs shift the main area and the bedroom out. More buttons automatically level out the unit, so it’s totally fl at and secure. Press another but- ton and the awning protects you from any inclement ele- ments. It’s like living in a Jetson-inspired world. You can sit at the dining nook watching your partner pre- pare a gourmet meal at the double sink while he accesses the two-burner stove and the stainless-steel, double-door fridge/freezer with room for 12 cubic feet of food. Driftwood vehicle reviewer Andrea Rabinovitch takes in the relaxing vibes of a 2007 Pace Arrow Fleetwood. RV REVIEW continued on B6
