CED principles + SSIMF reserve fund = Opportunity

by Jim Scott Apart from being a member of the Salt Spring Island Monetary Foundation (SSIMF), I am not involved in their aCtivities. This column recognizes the role of local currencies within a Community Economic Development (CED) perspective. CED has emerged globally as an alternative to conventional economic development. In contrast to the prevailing economic culture's ethos of selfishness, materialism, and cynicism, CED is based on the principles of fairness, and the belief that community members should have equitable access to community decision-making processes, resources and benefits. Spending Salt Spring Dollars ($$) at home helps to restore community self-reliance and to bring economic and social activities back to a more human scale. Keeping $$ in circulation - not depositing them - creates a pool of otherwise not available community capital to be used at our discretion. The SSIMF reserve fund thus promoted creates opportunity and adds financial weight to homegrown, responsible decision making. As our community seeks to control and shape its future, the most fruitful possibility rests in a form of self-government coupled with our local currency. From a CED point of view, that coupling is unadulterated common sense. The shape of governance and the utilization of the reserve fund require imaginative, sophisticated examination. Whether a municipality (a primarily urban political unit having corporate status) or another form more suited to a rural island community, finding the means to make our decisions on Island is an option that should be explored in our current superheated socio-economic climate. CED principles require (and offer) a credible, fully -developed option to the present reality. - Once accomplished (or not), we can explore mechanisms to utilize the reserve fund that will most benefit the greater community. The fund - created simply by spending $$ at home - could, as a first step, offset the additional costs of self­ government. Beyond that, as a community, we can explore ways for our economic reality to embody our social and spiritual values. 84 .o. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2004 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD

Members of the Salt Spring Island Potters' Guild have contributed both theme pieces and new work, with guest art­ ist Jackie Meredith providing an exciting counterpoint with a new series of paintings called Radiant Reflections. Melissa Searcy says of her work, "My preoccupation with the heart symbol, which is a very ancient symbol, has led to with a series of wall pieces called The Natural Language of the Heart." Pat Webber feels, "My inspiration is gained from observing the animals and plants that surround us. I use animal imagery to reflect relationships between and within species and to tell DJMATT J stories about us all." * ~ Merle Box's hand-built and wheel-thrown functional pot­ tery uses textures from nature - seashells, leaves, branches, SATURDAY and flowers. Her new work includes vases and decorative serv­ ing pieces in a new "blue indigo" glaze. Joan Warren's crystalline glazed forms reflect the beach her studio overlooks; a beach teaming with bird and sea life, tidal trophies travelling the tides of time, and the endless expres­ ~ il* sions of an ever- changing sea and sky. Other contributing potters include Denys James, Lois Beat­ tie, Ann Byrne, Mark Meredith, Karen Gray, Mark Hand, Vanina Katz Lahaique and Hal Stone. The public is invited to a celebratory reception at which the artists will be present on Thursday evening, August 12, from 7 to 9 p.m. in Mahon Hall. Between the Sea and the Sky will continue daily at ArtCraft through Tuesday, August 24.
