ore than 400 vehicles – ancient, modern, and from every April 12, class 2012 and period – cruised through the streets of Sechelt and Halfmoon Bay for the annual Sleepy Hollow Rod Run on Friday evening, August 9. The traditional procession drew residents to the roadsides to cheer and photograph
their favourites. Saturday, over 350 impeccably groomed vehicles gleamed in the afternoon sunlight. Over 70 of the participants headed up to Garden Bay on Sunday for the smaller but elegant Pender Harbour Show ‘n’ Shine. Meanwhile, at the Sechelt Airport, the Sunshine Coast Drag Rac-
ing Association enjoyed a morning of smoke and growling engines, until rain forced the first-ever postponement of the event. The races will be held at the September 15 Test ‘n’ Tune at the airport; anyone with a wristband from the August 11 drag races will be admitted free. Photo Jill Devonshire

A photograph of Bargain Bay in Madeira Park August 15, 2013 by Halfmoon Bay photographer Elaine Hunter was part of Capture BC, a province-wide exhibit in Victoria celebrating BC Day on August 5. “The Provincial Capital Commission, responsible for the annual BC Day event in Victoria, has a mandate to connect and celebrate the Capital with all British Columbians,” said PCC CEO Rick Crosby. “We are extremely happy this year that we were able to involve British Columbians from many different
regions and communities.” Using camera, computer and an imaginative sense of form and colour, Hunter has been capturing the interest of the art world with scheduled exhibits as far away as New York, London and Lisbon. “My photography business has just been booming lately,” she notes. Nature and the Sunshine Coast’s landscape speak to Hunter, who moved to the area in 2006. “I like the Sunshine Coast because of its naturalness,” she said. “I’m so at peace here and so at home.”

Although she’s always been very creative and has taken pictures all her life, Hunter says she became more serious about photography in 2003. Her dedication and experimentation is paying off. JFK Airport recently purchased some of her pieces and she is expecting a New York exhibition of her work this September. About 8,000 visitors to Celebrate BC Day 2013 in Victoria enjoyed a glimpse of the beauty of the Sunshine Coast’s Bargain Bay as seen through Hunter’s eyes and lens.

Community invited to help set new direction for Ruby Lake Heather Jeal Editor
Celebrating 20 years of growing the eco-reserve, resort and restaurant at Ruby Lake, the Cogrossi family invite the greater Coastal community to visit Sunday, August 18 from 2 p.m. to dusk and help set the vision and direction for the property’s next two decades. Entertainment includes guided or self-directed tours of the site, live music by Brothers In Farms, Boingy Boingy, and Nick Ferreira, as well as performances by Dances on Water and Gerardo the magician all set against the lush natural background of the Ruby Lake lagoon and surrounding hills. All entertainment is free; barbecued steelhead trout, yakburgers, and wild boar sausage will be available for purchase. Aldo Cogrossi, the ‘mayor of Ruby Lake’ whose early vision provided the initial impetus for the eco-reserve portion of the property, hopes the facility can move from being a seasonal resort to a year-round facility – the Spirit of the Rainforest Retreat Centre –drawing a new clientele for conferences and other events that will benefit the whole Coast. Going forward, “there has to be stewardship of this area,” says Cogrossi. “That’s why it’s so critical for us to bring the community here, to see what their reaction is. We want to build a year-round identity, a year-round destination.” Cogrossi himself does not plan to steward the next phase; the restaurant with

its ‘slow food’ ethic and reliance on locally-supplied top quality fair trade and ocean wise products is his main priority. Instead, de-
pending on public reaction at the Sunday event, he hopes to put together a steering committee as a precursor to creating a society to guide the retreat and the reserve. The Cogrossi family refused an earlier offer to purchase part of the business and acreage when the purchaser’s vision for the property did not mesh with the direction already set. When Aldo Cogrossi
first began building the Coast’s premier Italian resort overlooking the tranquil lagoon, he recognized its potential as a sanctuary for birds and wildlife. In the intervening years, he and his team of volunteers, family and friends built nesting boxes for birds (rebuilding the population of barn, tree and violet-green swallows) and started a program to attract wood ducks (hosting an annual Wood Duck Festival to help cover the costs). The lagoon now draws between 40 and 80 ducks each spring, and painted turtles nest on its sandy banks. “The environment and business can work together if you have the right person, or the right group,” Cogrossi says. “It means business must always be giving back. That’s what I believe. And that’s why I’m always broke,” he laughs.
Stage 2 water use restrictions in effect New sprinkling restrictions for all except Pender Harbour
Effective immediately, and until further notice, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) has declared Stage 2 restrictions for all regional water users. All those on the Pender Harbour systems remain at Stage 1 until further notice. Water use doubles, and may even triple, in the summer when seasonal rainfall is at its lowest. Restrictions help ensure that demand does not exceed the capacity of our water supply and distribution system. With Stage 2 restrictions, residents are requested to shut off all sprinklers if a fire occurs in their neighbourhood to ensure fire fighters have enough water pressure. Hand held hoses with shut-off devices may be used anytime for watering
trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables. Hosing of sidewalks and driveways is not allowed. Sprinklers may still be used on lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables from 7:00p.m. to 9:00p.m. ONLY, restricted to the times allotted. Enforcement staff are now patrolling and violation fines will be issued. Avoid fines and protect your drinking water supply by limiting any sprinkling to the allotted times as follows: For District of Sechelt, Town of Gibsons and all rural areas (except Pender Harbour): Even addresses: Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Odd addresses: Monday and Wednesday evenings, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Pender Harbour systems remain at
Stage 1 until further notice: Even addresses on even dates (e.g. 2, 4, 6, . . .), 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Odd addresses on odd dates (e.g. 1, 3, 5, . . .), 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. SCRD staff notes that the community has responded well in the past by reducing water usage when required, and asks that all residents once again do their part to conserve the Coast’s precious water resources. To report violators contact the SCRD at 604-885-6806 or the Town of Gibsons at 604-886-2274. Visit www.scrd.ca/Sprinkling-Regulations for details on water use restrictions. Submitted
New murals slated for Sechelt skateboard park Graffiti artists, muralists, youth, skateboarders, BMXers and community supporters will converge on the Sechelt Skateboard Park, 5904 Cowrie Street, for ‘Paint the Park’ – a free allday event on Tuesday, August 20 designed to make the park a more appealing place for all. It is also a chance for local youth to show off their creativity for the community to see. “The aim of this community project is to bring together local youth and artists in the creation of public artworks that will result in a fresh look for our Skateboard Park,” said Siobhán Smith, Arts Coordinator for the District of Sechelt. The sides of the ramps and outer walls of the skateboard park will be painted with graffitistyle ‘street art’ murals overseen by three highly skilled local artists – Ben Tour, Chris “OPEK” Mewhort, and Davyd
Oram. The trio will be on site creating their own artworks and introducing youth to the techniques of outdoor ‘street art’ mural painting. All are welcome to join the fun! “Bring your creativity and we’ll supply the paint!” Smith offered. “Even if you don’t have an artistic bone in your body, plan to visit the Skateboard Park at lunchtime to watch the artists and enjoy live music by The Mama’s Boys and DJs Aerion & Stimz. We’ll even have free lunch courtesy of Sechelt Subway!” To keep updated on the event, check out the Paint the Park event online via the District of Sechelt Facebook page. Support for this project is provided by the District of Sechelt’s Arts Coordinator and Parks Department with funding from the District of Sechelt’s Community Crime Prevention Reserve. Submitted

Editorial Opinion Meat, Schmeat – What to eat? For some years, scientists have been working to grow edible meat in labs, cloning stem cells in petri dishes in an effort to provide a viable product with the potential to end world hunger. Ideally, the end product will roll out of the labs in sheets of meat – hence the term ‘shmeat’ to describe it. Recently, news broadcasts showed subjects testing a small quantity of something that looked like hamburger, produced by a Dutch lab in a petri dish at a cost estimated to be close to $400,000 for the patty. Obviously, making schmeat in labs is a long way from being economically viable. Judging by the look on the testers’ faces, schmeat is a long way from being a taste sensation. Schmeat’s evolution in the lab, a fascinating process, is also a bit creepy. In a petri dish, animal stem cells are placed in a nutrient mixture (used to be animal blood – now they use a compound of sunlight and carbon dioxide that works much like photosynthesis) and then, to ensure the growing muscle tissue does not atrophy and die through lack of stimulation and exercise, the mass is zapped with bolts of electricity. The result is animal tissue that was never part of any living animal, fat-free and dyed with beet juice to simulate the look of beef. Call me Igor if this does not call to mind early horror movies. But scientists are enthusiastic about schmeat’s potential contribution to society. CBC quoted Dr. Mark Post of Maastricht University enthusing that the in vitro process, once commercially viable, “will completely change the way we produce meat. Of course we will still have farms as well, because we need small donor herds to provide stem cells, so there will be a low-level livestock breeding and keeping anyway.” So schmeat won’t do away with livestock farming. Much of the push behind the research comes from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), bent on saving millions of animals destined for the slaughterhouse. In 2008 they announced a million dollar reward for the first lab to produce a commercially viable schmeat, thereby saving animals pain and suffering. Of course, all those animals being replaced by schmeat will likely be on death row anyway if they are no longer commercially viable to raise. Agribusinessmen are an unsentimental lot, and do not keep herds of pigs or cattle as pets. At some point, there will be slaughter. Schmeat will also give rise to yet another regulatory agency, to study health impacts of schmeat on the human diet and the human body (to date, no studies of this type have been done, as it has been produced in such minute quantities). Expect even more agencies to ensure food purity and quality, inspect production facilities and so on. Because it’s created in labs, suspicious minds wonder if schmeat offers scientists an easy route to a genetically engineered end product. There it sits in vitro, just waiting for the folks in white coats to play with the essential DNA of the cells. Well, why not? It worked with wheat, why not with meat? So, schmeat is expensive, currently can only be produced in small quantities, requires huge amounts of electricity in its production, is not particularly tasty, will not eliminate all animal farming, and for some viewers, is a suspect and even kind of creepy concept. Is it the harbinger of a brave new world? Or is chasing after an economically viable schmeat simply a waste of scientists’ time and research energies? After all – they could be spending their efforts (as Scientific American recently documented) creating GMO cats that glow in the dark. Heather Jeal, Editor
Letters to the Editor – Opinions Serious drought I am taking your timely front page news item about water restrictions very seriously. Apparently the dry conditions have become sufficiently severe that your full story on page 3 completely evaporated. Lou Janke, Sechelt BC Editor’s Note: The article referenced in the caption for our frontpage photo, ‘Stage 2 Water Restrictions now in effect’ was inadvertently omitted from our August 8 issue. It is included on page 3 of the current issue, with our apologies for the confusion.
Nothing wrong with Roundup™ I must take exception to your editorial which overall exhibited an unfortunate lack of knowledge about pesticides and their use. Pesticides in Canada are regulated by PMRA, a branch of Health Canada. It is always a wonder to me that we trust Health Canada to regulate pharmaceuticals but disregard them when it comes to the use of pesticides. In fact, pesticides undergo far more safety diligence because they end up in our food. The province of BC established a non-partisan legislative committee on June 11, 2011 to examine whether BC should have a province wide ban for ‘cosmetic’ pesticides.
It tabled its report to the legislature on May 17, 2012. The committee received over 8,600 submissions from just about everybody from David Suzuki to PMRA (and no doubt The Clean Air Society) with views on pesticides and concluded “that there is insufficient evidence to support a province wide ban on pesticides for cosmetic use.” The full report can be reached at www.leg.bc.ca/pesticide/ committee. The term, ‘pesticides and herbicides’ is a misnomer. A herbicide is a pesticide as are all other ‘cide’ products. As for the pets in Halfmoon Bay who died from something, it most assuredly wasn’t ROUNDUP. Pure glyphosate is not nearly as toxic as common table salt in its pure form. The chance of the diluted product being toxic to anything except vegetation is of the same order as my being reincarnated as Babar the elephant. A. F. Butt Prof. Agrologist (Retired)

The Beachcombers marks the big 4-0 Quirky CBC series produced 387 episodes over its 18-year run
A recreation of the familiar countertop from the TV version of Molly’s Reach café forms the centerpiece of the Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives’ new, improved Beachcombers exhibit opening Saturday, August 17 from 1 to 3 p.m. Photo submitted
Forty years ago, CBC launched The Beachcombers, a quirky television comedydrama showcasing the culture, landscape and people of Canada’s west coast. Featuring Greek-Canadian log salvager Nick and his crotchety nemesis Relic, their playful ongoing competition drove the plot of this unlikely hit set in Gibson’s Landing, centering around the now-iconic Molly’s Reach café. The cast included matriarchal café owner Molly, bumbling police officer Constable Constable and a
strong First Nations presence led by Sechelt’s Pat John. In fact, the show was ahead of its time with its representation of First Nations culture and actors. To celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the iconic series, the Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives will celebrate the opening of its new and improved Beachcombers exhibit on Saturday, August 17 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Visitors are invited to ‘sit down and have a coffee’ while perusing archival photographs and scripts at
the exhibit’s centerpiece, a recreation of the Molly’s Reach countertop with a life-sized photo of the cast. Visitors are invited to “sit down and have a coffee” with their favorite characters and peruse archival photographs and scripts, enjoy photo ops with lifesized cut-outs of Nick and Relic and view the continuous screening of three classic Beachcombers episodes (Save the Persephone, The Tray Tree and Voice of the People).

Filmed in ‘real time,’ The Beachcombers ran from October 1, 1972 to December 12, 1990 and holds the record for the longest-running dramatic series ever made for English Canadian television with 387 episodes produced. Still strong in syndication, the show has been viewed in over 60 countries around the world. Although long over, Beachcombers remains imprinted in the memories of Canadians and is now considered an important piece of Canadian film history, as well as valuable documentation of life in Gibsons. Each episode featured aspects of the Sunshine Coast’s cultural landscapes, including logging, fishing and environmental issues of the region. The show was also ahead of its time with its representation of First Nations culture and actors. Funded by the Town of Gibsons, the new exhibit will celebrate all things Beachcombers. Welcome back!

Arts & Culture Sunshine Coast
Fun for all at Hackett Park Craft Fair The Hackett Park Arts and Crafts Fair – one of the largest juried fairs in the province – runs Saturday, August 17 (10 to 5) and Sunday, August 18 (10 to 4). For 26 years, artists and artisans from across the province have offered up a tantalizing array of one-ofa-kind arts and crafts at this annual event, held under the trees in the park on Trail Avenue, between Medusa and Dolphin streets in Sechelt. Musical acts including the Knotty Dotters, Katie & the Cornpones, Corduroy Road and many others entertain over the two day festival, interspersed with the Driftwood Players’ story theatre and Gerardo Avita’s magic act. Children can get their faces painted by Tracy Lloyd and everyone can sample the mouth watering food choices from fresh salmon and prawns to gourmet hotdogs and vegetarian delights. The Hackett Park Arts and Crafts Fair is a fundraising event for the Sunshine Coast Arts Council, which has been serving the community in support of the arts since 1966. Admis-

Sports & marine Sunshine Coast on the
Weather forces dragsters into full throttle slowdown Sunday afternoon rainstorm forces race postponement to September 15. Sunday, August 11, was a difficult day for Tony Petula, President of the Sunshine Coast Drag Racing Association (SCDRA). His team of volunteers and District work crews put their hearts into preparing the Sechelt Airport for the Full Throttle Showdown races. Fans, racers and volunteers enjoyed a cooler morning that went like clockwork, with lots of fast passes, big burnouts and no serious mechanical issues for the racers. Just as the young Roberts Creek musicians known as The Momma’s Boys (Rishi on drums, Landseer on bass and Aiden on lead guitar and vocals) wound up their lunchtime performance, a weather system stalled over the airport. The resulting rainstorm, with its potential safety issues, forced the SCDRA president to consult with the drivers and then announce that the afternoon races would be cancelled. All spectators were invited to attend the club’s Test ‘n’ Tune on Sunday, September 15 at the Sechelt Airport where the Full
SECHELT U-LOCK STORAGE & BUNCH O’ WINERS Before weather intervened, smokin’ dragsters showed their stuff. PHOTO JEREMY BEVAN Throttle Showdown will continue from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. A wrist band from the August 11 race will be required for admission. The SCRDA thanks all drag racers, fans, volunteers, the business community and local government for
their support; without them, there would be no drag racing on the Sunshine Coast. For further information on the Test ‘n’ Tune, contact Richard Austin at 604-2305067 or cnaustin@telus.net Submitted by Richard Austin, SCDRA

Cocktail of the Week:
Long Island Iced Tea Possibly invented by a Long Island bartender in the 1970s, or by a moonshiner in the 1930s, or by an unknown mixologist any time between, this popular – and very potent – cocktail’s claim to fame is a total lack of tea in the blend. It achieves its ‘iced tea’ colour with a blend of equal parts (suggested: ½ ounce or 15ml each) light rum, triple sec, gin, vodka and tequila, lemon juice, lime juice and sugar. Stir, pour into a tall glass over ice and top up with cola. Garnish with a lemon slice or wedge, and see who you can fool.

tom tier with decadence: a traditional Bakewell tart, a Belgian brownie, a white chocolate mousse, and a triple chocolate raspberry ball. Although 1902 offers catering for tea lovers, it’s a family-friendly spot to sit and watch the world go by, with a play table for the little ones to keep them busy while the grown-ups have ‘just one more cup.’ With two great tea shops both offering delectable teas in Gibsons Landing, visitors should plan a series of leisurely visits to this shopping hub – with a break at tea-time, whenever that happens to be.

Water restrictions in effect Still people watering when not allowed. As I drive around I see many people still wasting water and not listening to the restrictions or they are unaware of them. People can hand water with a hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle, but no hand watering of grass. Please help get the word out. We had far less snow in the Tetrahedron watershed then normal.

Event Organizer Charlene SanJenko (powHERhouse.com) says, “Bringing women together to learn, share and inspire one another is a beautiful thing. Events such as the Creative Leadership Brunch are where magic happens – new friendships are born, natural, authentic networking occurs, and creative ideas are shared. Our community grows stronger and more positive and powerful as we do. The stronger we are, the stronger we are.” SanJenko notes that challenges facing our community locally and globally demand a creative solutions-based
approach to effect positive change and that by definition creative leaders “means owning the belief that you can make a difference – the life you lead is witness to that belief.” Tickets ($49 per person) include a healthy, delectable brunch catered by MORE Bakery, vocal entertainment by Sunshine Coast musician Susan Sun, and an author’s reading by Rikia Saddy at the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts.

Demand empties shelves at local food banks Summer is always a challenging time for the Sunshine Coast Food Bank. This year has been particularly difficult. Donations have been quite low while demand has remained the same. The food bank has also been faced with rising food costs. This has made it more difficult for the food bank to keep its
shelves full and has impacted many people in the community living on fixed incomes whose grocery bills have increased. The food bank asks members of the community to help by donating garden produce, non-perishable food items. These can be dropped off at Sunshine Coast Community Services Society offices at 5638
Inlet Avenue, Sechelt. Last year, food bank volunteers donated 2,908 hours of their time to distribute 12,661 bags of food, representing an average of 1,055 visits each month from people in our community living in need. Approximately 30 per cent of the individuals served by the food bank are children. Submitted
The Local - Thursday, August 15, 2013 15
Horoscope August 16 to August 22 Astrologer
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20) You feel more passionate about everything lately. Your creative interests are especially important to you now. This may be simply to play and enjoy what summer has to offer. Yet, you remain determined to get to the bottom of things. Fortunately, your confidence is growing. You feel ignited. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) Attending to the needs, concerns and interests of your own family is a top priority now. Yet, demands on your time may well be coming from a variety of sources these days, none to be idly dismissed. You are challenged to give a lot of yourself. Acceptance of this is ideal. Focus to secure foundations on all fronts. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) Clearing away the old while attending to the new is the norm these days. This is hardly the time to lay low. Your social agenda is probably quite full. Your extra efforts are necessary. This requires discipline and a healthy attitude. Avoidance now could prove costly later. Follow-up and followthrough! Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) Advancing your position, taking risks and initiatives to enter new territory is the call now. A healthy measure of caution is advised, but not so much as to stall. Diplomatic efforts are also extra important. Do be assertive and speak your truth. Yet avoid abrasive reaction at all costs. Make

part of the plot. Forge your brave new world. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) Your higher mind is summoning you. It is your soul speaking through your heart. You may hear it as intuitions. These are guiding you to ‘let go and let God’. Change is the law and it is upon you. Sometimes sweet surrender is the best answer. This does not imply defeat. Assuming a philosophical perspective should come natu rally. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) Gaining access to the abundance of talents and resources available in the world is a current focus. Deciphering exactly what you need is the first task. This is an expansive time. Yet, you may be dealing with some tough customers. It may be necessary to meet them in like fashion. Yet, decipher the difference between positive persistence and belligerence. Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) Some fresh activation in your relationships is now underway. Yet, the ground they are launching from requires extra efforts on your part. The stakes are quite high these days. You probably don’t feel as confident as you would like but are challenged to proceed and even take some risks anyway. Take a sporting approach for best results. Like is a game. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) Creating a healthier, more supportive and secure lifestyle is a central theme now. The twist is that in order to be successful you probably have to take a leap of faith or two. Fortunately, your energy levels should be running pretty high. This is supporting your confidences and activating creative and strategic thinking.

friends now, not enemies. Advance patiently yet surely. Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) The Sun in your sign indicates initiative. Lay claim to your hidden gifts, resources and potentials. These may be giving rise to subconscious fears. Accept these as part of the game plan. Their presence means you are right on track. The key now is to acknowledge, confront and overcome these with deliberate action. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) Tending to business behind the scenes is important now. This is a summons of your best administrative abilities. If you need and can afford to hire out, do it. Either way, the time has come to get more organized. A learning curve is implied, but just the act of doing it will teach you how. The goal is to break out of your comfort zone and increase your exposure. Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) Balancing work, family, friends and keeping the harmony on all fronts is a central theme now. You realize the importance of presenting and expressing yourself well. You want to share the beauty you see and feel. Make extra efforts to create better relationships and other alliances. Yet, be true to your own sense of individuality all the while. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) The time has come to get the attention you want and feel you deserve. Yet to succeed you may have to push a little harder and longer. A blend of innovation and visionary thinking is a source of inspiration. In fact, you are in something of a revolutionary mood. Introducing new rhythms into your lifestyle is

Tickets available for offbeat, quirky and fun FWA events Heather Jeal
Expect the unexpected at this year’s Festival.
Editor
Although seven of the Festival’s presentations are sold out, tickets are still available for most events – many of which offer quirky, fun and offbeat experiences for the price of a ticket ($15 per event, except for the Sunday Salmon BBQ as noted below). These not-to-bemissed sessions include: Friday morning at 10:30, expect the unexpected from actor/writer Chris Humphreys. With four published novels – as well as his upcoming work, Shakespeare’s Rebel, to be published this summer – set in the times of the Tudors, Humphreys has an affinity for the era. He’ll be in full period regalia for his presentation, as he reads from recent and forthcoming works. Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m., preview Desperately Seeking Susans. This anthology compiled by poet/editor Sarah Yi-Mei Tsiang features work from writers named Susan – who comprise a significant sub-group of the post-war Baby Boom. Three of the 40 contributors to this work are at the Festival and will appear at this event: the beloved and unpredictable Susan Musgrave (Origami Dove, Given); Gibsons resident/teacher/poet Susan Telfer (House Beneath, winner of the Sunshine Coast Arts Council’s Gillilan Lowndes Award); and Lasqueti Island poet and farmer Sue Wheeler (Solstice on the Anacortes Ferry, Slow Moving Target, Habitat). Sunday at 3 p.m., New Voices features Bradley Somer and Théodora Armstrong. Somer is a discovery of Harbour Publishing’s Nightwood Editions subsidiary. He will read from the always-surprising Imperfections, winner of CBC’s
Up, up and away!
C.C. Humphreys discovers his inner Tudor Friday at 10:30 a.m. Photo submitted Bookie Award, a hilarious yet poignant novel examining society’s notions of beauty and obsession with physical perfection – blurring the boundaries between beautiful and grotesque, hilarious and horrific. Tickets ($15 per event except as noted below) may be purchased online at www.writersfestival.ca, or at the Festival Office at Rockwood. All events are at Rockwood Pavilion. Daily at the Rockwood site under the ‘Big Tent’ browse among literary goods, including autographed books (and others) at the book sales table, posters and publications from The Alcuin Society (dedicated to the book arts of fine printing and reading), plus a wide selection of Festival fashions and souvenirs. Sunshine Coast self-published writers have had a significant presence at the Festival for the past eight years. Returning and new-to-the-Festival authors, artists and poets offer a wide range of genres: humour, mystery, history and the legacy of family stories; picture books for and studies about children; books about self-realization, spiritual and physical fitness. Daily contests add to the festival fun. Look for details posted on bulletin boards throughout the Rockwood grounds.
