		<description><![CDATA[While the “Burning at Eddie’s Pit” story is quite an interesting tale of a classic Catch 22 it has also brought to the forefront a whole series of discussions about waste management and CO2 reduction.
First of all the basic facts; Eddie owns 60 acres of land on the side of Mount Gardner, above Adams Road. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Bowen Island was a business we would be having some pretty serious meetings right now. The business climate is changing and we’re stuck with too much inventory. In last week’s real estate paper there were over 70 houses listed for sale. If you’re interested in a building lot, you have over 40 to choose [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Separating issues from distractions is sometimes necessary, particularly when dealing with Bowen politics. This week I’m trying to sort out a few of them.
The C.N.I.B. lodge is for sale for $4,200,000. For those of you who have never turned right when coming off the ferry, the lodge is basically a great rustic dining hall with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
A Brief History of Bowen Island &#8211; In the spirit of brevity I will start in the 1970’s. At that time the local Highways Department foreman approved subdivisions and you could purchase your Gulf Island summer get-away lot at a booth at the PNE. Then the provincial NDP party replaced the Social Credit party and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find it amusing how we live in two different worlds on Bowen. There is the theoretical world of what we could or should be doing with our community and, on that level we fight like cats and dogs. Then there is the day-to-day practical level where luckily we seem to get along quite well. [...]]]></description>

Looking from side to side as the ferry docks, the homes on Snug Point look cosy, the forested cliff of Dorman Point looks challenging and dramatic, Norma’s marina [...]]]></description>

One thing that I know will come up will be the long awaited road [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“So, how long have you lived on Bowen?” asked the oldtimer. “Why do people keep asking that?” replied the newcomer. It’s an interesting phenomenon that causes considerable social stratification on Bowen. When newcomers meet other newcomers they latch on to each other like soulmates on a liferaft. “What’s with these people? If you haven’t lived [...]]]></description>
