Participants in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast, cycling Highway 101, took a break at Triple B’s Burgers in Madeira Park. Each cyclist rides for their ‘buddy,’ a child either battling cancer or in remission. All funds raised go to Paediatric Cancer Research and Camp Goodtimes. For the seventh year, volunteer organizers of the Red Serge Gala raised funds to support the riders – a total of $42,000 this year. Over the years, the Gala has raised $256,500 to support local RCMP riders. “The community on the Sunshine Coast has been so supportive over the years – so supportive!” said Red Serge Gala Chairperson Katherine Gadsby. photo tella Sametz

Editorial Opinion New recycling rules create concerns Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) made headlines and was a hot topic at the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference last week. Small business is concerned about MMBC too, for a number reasons. What’s all the fuss about? The introduction of new recycling rules will affect packaging and paper that ends up in residential waste. The idea behind the rules is to shift responsibility for paying for packaging disposal from the consumer to the producer. This shift will be accomplished by MMBC, a group that has been given regulatory and fee-charging (taxing) power by the provincial government. Municipalities are concerned about the impact on existing blue box programs. Small businesses are worried rules and fees designed by the big-business board of MMBC simply won’t work for them. Is it appropriate, for example, to ask a small bakery to separate, weigh, record and report any packaging that might go to the consumer waste stream, including cupcake wrappers, cardboard boxes, cake stands, plastic wrap and bags? What about the corner store with packaging from toothpaste tubes to cereal boxes? Businesses of all sizes have been asked to sign a contract with MMBC to pay fees that MMBC is unable to disclose right now. As one small business owner said: “We have no intention of signing up for the program and basically handing over a blank cheque; no thinking businessman would.” Many business owners said that when they received the MMBC letter threatening a $200,000 fine for noncompliance they thought it was a scam and threw it away. The good news is the BC government is listening and understands small business concerns. MMBC has been convinced to put in place a small-business consultation period until January. That buys some time for small businesses that were being asked to start complying with the new rules this week.. For years the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has been arguing it is inappropriate to give groups the power to impose regulations and fees without making them accountable. Issues surrounding MMBC illustrate why this accountability is needed. MMBC currently has the power to impose new regulations that threaten BC’s competitiveness and jobs and yet it is not subject to the province’s own regulatory reform policy. Currently, its three-person Board has the power to impose fees and insist businesses sign contracts without disclosing what the fee is. CFIB plans to continue providing feedback to the government and MMBC on the reaction of small business, and invites business owners to contact them with their concerns.

Letter of the week Open Letter to Mayor Henderson Editor’s Note: The following letter was sent to Mayor Henderson and copied to The Local for publication. Re: Mayor’s Message: Improve the Sechelt Airport
(The Local, September 19) Mayor Henderson, in your column you wrote “The ferries meet most of our needs, admirably.” It seems to me that by your so-inaccurate description of the ferry system serving us, you use the ferry system very infre-
quently. You may be able to use the float-planes, water taxis and by extending the airport runway, you will also be able to fly to Abbotsford. However for the majority of us living on the Sunshine Coast the ferry is less than adequate.
As Mayor of Sechelt, I do hope that you will take into account the majority of your constituents who can’t park their planes at home, let alone afford one and need to rely on the inadequate ferry services. Jack Stein Gibsons
Promoting Coast concerns at UBCM Coast Watch Garry Nohr Chair Sunshine Coast Regional District and Repesentative for Halfmoon Bay, Area B
This year the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) was a busy time for local Sunshine Coast politicians as the directors of the Regional District, mayors and councillors of the municipalities and the Chief of the Sechelt Nation had interviews with provincial Ministers. Coast elected officials went on planned tours, attended workshops and/or voted on the resolutions presented at UBCM. Each day started at 7:30 with an array of workshops on topics such as conflict of interest, eight habits of effective citizen engagement and derelict vessel solutions. I went to an all day workshop on building and protecting sustainable communities

that identified environmental issues and best practises for local governments to find solutions. SCRD directors met with the housing minister, Rich Coleman, to arrange financial support for the cold weather shelter and the Arrowhead Society. After explaining that the Sunshine Coast receives over $2,000,000 for support services from the province, Minister Coleman did ask his staff to look into what can be done. The 13 chairs of ferrydependent communities had a meeting with Premier Christy Clark and Minister of Transportation Todd Stone, responsible for BC ferries. I was selected as one of the four who would speak on the ferry issue. After the premier listened to what we all said about real estate concerns, loss of jobs, and people leaving because of the insecurity of ferry runs, Clark
appointed her secretary, MLA Jordan Sturdies, to be the point person to look into the needs of ferry dependent communities. There was a meeting with Community Services Minister Coralee Oakes on the economy and impact of BC Ferries on tourism, arts and culture and the daily lives of the people on the Coast. The Gibsons and Sechelt mayors spoke on the problems ferry rates and schedules cause in their communities. At a later meeting with Minister Thomson attended by a member of Howe Sound communities, SCRD Director Lee Turnbull led a presentation requesting a Comprehensive Management Plan for Howe Sound. The Minister suggested MLA Jordan Sturdies work with local governments and Howe Sound Society to find a solution. A meeting with Minister
of the Environment Mary Polak to discuss this region’s concerns about MMBC (Multi-Material British Columbia), the new recycling program, was arranged to delay implementation and allow more consultation. Both Mayors, Director Frank Mauro and Chair Nohr spoke about concerns for local recycling companies. We made the Minister aware of the successful programs existing on the coast and possible problems for them to continue under the new program. Director Mauro and Nohr attended a meeting with staff of Technology, Innovation and Citizen Services who informed us that they will work with the SCRD to get cell phone conductivity the length of Highway 101 and into Egmont.

A Zany Year in Labour Relations, Part 1 Education Matters Silas White Chair, School District #46 School Board
A lot has been happening on the labour relations side of K–12 education in BC this year. I’ll start with support staff—our non-teaching custodial, administrative assistance, educational (special needs) assistance, technology, maintenance, student support services, library assistance and other staff. In January, boards of education rejected a ham-handed request from the province to immediately come up with ‘savings plans,’ partway through our budget year (when all our funds had already been allocated), to put toward wage increases for support staff. Our board pointed out that the government’s failure to work with us to integrate these savings into our budget the previous spring, coordinated with our annual consultation process, seemed to be an indication the province had it covered. And yet again, this past spring another round of provincial and local budgeting went by in which the government ignored the
need to give K–12 support staff a fair wage increase, even after the last contract had been expired for eight months. The widely perceived notion that it could be ‘someone else’s problem’ after the provincial election may have been a factor. We all know how that turned out. So the beginning of this school year has been clouded by the serious possibility that after fifteen months with no contract, and a government that made no credible effort to either find funds centrally or work with boards to budget for contract settlement funds, K–12 support staff (represented here and in the vast majority of districts by CUPE, the Canadian Union of Public Employees) were about to go on strike. Our board was the first to tell others that although we feel the government should continue to be pressured strongly to fund all collective agreement increases, we would be considering our students first. We accept our local responsibilities as the employer, and engaging in political wrangling with the provincial government over who has less money would not be worth damaging relation-
Back to work? We get it.
ships with our employee groups and, most importantly, keeping our students out of school. As difficult as it is to find the funds, and accept that the need to fund the agreement was essentially dumped on us, boards tend to share values that prioritize our students, families and employees. A provincial framework agreement ended up being signed last week, with a 3.5 per cent wage increase to be fully funded by boards. We can sustain this cost in SD46 this year, but we’ll need to be well funded in the next provincial budget in order to avoid making future cuts. Here’s hoping… Local tables still need to approve this framework and any additional items they can agree to, and then boards and locals must ratify the agreements, but it is generally accepted that agreeing on the money is the hardest part. Recent teacher bargaining includes even more political hijinks, but is far from being concluded (currently interrupted, in fact). I’ll tackle that in a future column.

While discovering a variety of breakfast and brunch delights for every taste and budget, readers will be on October’s Quest for the Best breakfast or brunch. Locally made sausage and farm-fresh eggs with rich, golden yolks and served up with locally-baked breads and a steaming cup of locally-roasted coffee all put the ‘break’ back in ‘breakfast’ and provide the fuel for a full weekend’s worth of errands, chores and activities. Or give brunch a Conti-
nental accent with a frittata or quiche, croissants, and cappuccino. Eggs Benedict, now known colloquially as ‘Bennies,’ have moved beyond the simple poached egg on an English muffin, smothered in Hollandaise sauce. Tucked under the egg, look for smoked salmon, shrimp, prosciutto ham, and/or spinach. Even the muffin may be exchanged with a meaty Portobello mushroom providing a base. Large or small, with har-
bour views or a parking lot outlook, Coast restaurants invite The Local readers to come join the Quest. October’s contest runs monthlong, ending spookily on Hallowe’en. All voter names will be entered for a draw to win a $100 grocery gift card; the winning restaurant receives bragging rights and a quarter-page ad.

Salmon are running – get smoking! Smoked salmon is making its way into a variety of diverse and tasty dishes from salads to chowders Smoking is one of the oldest ways to preserve fish, used long before refrigeration. And while smoked salmon has been a standard as an appetizer in entertaining for decades, it has come a long way from its traditional roots. Today smoked salmon is making its way into a variety of diverse and tasty dishes from salads to chowders, meaning that cream cheese wraps are just one of many options available to an inspired cook. Home-smoked or local custom-smoked salmon offers a fresh, light taste. With no nitrates, chemical additives or artificial preservatives, this is a healthy choice. Cold-smoked salmon has a firm velvety texture and translucent pink color. This rich source of protein, vitamin A and omega-3 oils is a versatile ingredient in

Cocktail of the Week:
Great Scot!
Combine 3 tbsp. (45 ml) pale single malt scotch (such as the Macallan 10-year) with 1 tsp (5 ml) lime cordial in a lowball glass. Fill with ice and top with ginger ale. Garnish with lime (optional). Serve with Smoked Salm-
appetizers, soups, salads, and even pizza. Traditionally, First Nations fishers smoked and/or dried the annual salmon harvest, and it fed their families through the cold winter months. Soup is a great way to use up every part of the salmon, including the bits of meat clinging to fins or bones (known in delis as ‘lox wings’). If substituting regular smoked salmon, add it for the last five minutes of simmering.

Fall Fashion Guide 2013
Fall officially arrived this week, with a harvest moon signaling the time for warm woolens, boots and rain gear will soon be with us. New York and European trends lean heavily towards 1960s retro chic, featuring capes, leatherwear, pleated skirts and long-sleeved minis. Hats of all styles make a comeback (for some, this fashion finish never left the building). And brilliant colour continues to trend throughout autumn, particularly the
emerald green signature hue for 2013. Coast chic tends toward comfort and clothing that moves with an active, outdoor lifestyle. Local boutiques responded to calls for more Canadianmade products, resulting in a range of stylish relaxed clothing that is designed and manufactured ethically and locally. Find your fresh, fall look in The Local, then shop where you live for clothing that reflects your community and your lifestyle.

Horoscope September 27 to October 3 Sea Cavalcade Astrologer
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20) The flow of powerful shifts and changes continue to flow in, implying you will have more power. With it comes added responsibility. The focus has shifted to your most intimate relationships. Begin with honest and open dialogue and dig deeper from there. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) A process of cleaning, completing and improving continues. Circumstances are leading you to replace the old and unsightly with the new and beautiful or at least do the groundwork. New alliances and cooperative efforts are necessary. Be extra clear in all communications especially if signing legal contracts. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) You are in a creative cycle that indicates some form of training or apprenticeship. It will require discipline, commitment and investment. The time frame is about one year starting now. If your focus is not clear, aim to sharpen it now. Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) The emphasis has shifted to the home front. Some serious events are the source of weighted emotions implying sober, deliberate and practical efforts to secure foundations. Financial issues, inheritances, insurance and the like are featured. Get ready to do some investigative work.
perhaps asked for it, you may not really be in the mood. Quieter gatherings with close friends may suit your needs best. Opportunities, rewards and legacies may be incoming, yet you may feel restricted in your ability to manage them. Enjoy the company, but take it slow. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) Ambitions to increase your power potential are strong now. You would like more attention, but not simply to be popular. You want more leverage and are looking to engage with people of influence and affluence or at least with proven talent. This stands to be the best window you have had or will for a while so you might want to make the most of it. Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) You are in the mood for some fun and adventure. Yet, you also have some real work to do. How will you balance these seemingly opposing themes? Significant others are calling you out to play and challenging you to compete. Playing along stands to be the resolution you seek. Accept the challenge and set your sights upon rising to the occasion. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) You are in deep now. Purely linear and logical thinking may not be enough. Allow for an intuitive and experiential approach as well. Expect to cover a lot of ground and in a variety of contexts. You may feel moodier these days and this trend will continue so learn to ride the waves better. You are in a prolonged learning curve as well; get used to it.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) A busy time with an array of errands and added activities will keep you busy for a while. These may include short journeys. You may be confronted with a few doubts about your direction. This is a time to feel the fear and do it anyway. Meditate more and/ or pay closer attention to your dreams. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) You are entering what may be deemed a precarious cycle. The ground beneath your feet may not feel so solid. Flexibility in mind and body is extra important. Focus within to courageously face fears. Be open to new leads, methods, approaches and priorities. Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) The time has come to take some key initiatives. Financial interests and concerns are core motivations. You may be challenged to break through traditional lines of thought and action. Deepen your focus to investigate the possibilities. The time is right to invest, but don’t expect quick returns. Take very calculated risks. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) Balancing desires to retreat with urges to advance is the call now. You may achieve this goal simply by slowing down for a while. Yet, the time is right to get and/or give instruction and training. There is reason to say you feel enthusiastic about the future. The main thing now is to more clearly decipher your direction. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) Your social life is getting a boost now. Ironically, though you have

Local fitness challenge Statistics indicate that lifestyle changes can significantly impact longevity and quality of life ....
Holiday Week is just over three months away – a time of family gatherings, feasting, and making plans for the new year. This year, The Local wants to help readers meet this milestone fit and ready for fun. Starting with our October 3 issue, we’ll begin the Local Fitness Challenge. On the Sunshine Coast, we are fortunate to have a rich resource of wellness experts – personal trainers, sports medicine specialists, and instructors in a wide variety of activities. The Challenge starts gently in Week One, with activities to stretch unused muscles and begin returning flexibility to joints and breath capacity to lungs. In following weeks, the program moves through a series of activities designed to help participants achieve
their personal fitness goals. Note that the stress is not on weight loss, but rather on over-all health and wellness. Statistics indicate that lifestyle changes can significantly impact longevity and quality of life, especially for those over 50 years of age. As fall closes in, the tendency is to cocoon in our homes, becoming more sedentary. The Challenge reverses this behaviour, as participants become more active, encouraged to develop new patterns and habits that will, by Week 12, be part of a new and healthier lifestyle. Each week, local wellness professionals will provide tips and techniques to help move to the next level of fitness. Join in, and be ready to greet the holidays in the best shape ever.
Government proclaims ‘Organic Week’ Minister of Agriculture Pat Pimm recently proclaimed the week of September 21 – 28 as ‘Organic Week,’ celebrating the organic farming industry with seven days filled with activities throughout BC The proclamation acknowledges the contribution the organic sector makes to economic and environmental well-being and how the industry is growing to meet the increasing demand for BC organic products. “The majority of our B.C. organic farms are family owned and operated, and when we support them, we enjoy the benefits of local and nutritious foods and also build strong communities throughout the province,” Pimm said. The government continues to work with the organic farming sector to raise the profile of BC Certified Organic foods and ensure consumers are aware of the wide variety of organic food products available in BC.

Home Renovations & Improvements
Choice of window treatment can impact energy usage Window treatments or coverings should be chosen to provide a lift for home décor, but also for their energy-saving features. The right coverings will recover their costs through reduced heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Slat-style or ‘venetian’ window blinds can be adjusted to control light and ventilation, helpful in the summer months but ineffective in retaining heat through the winter months. To reduce heat loss during winter, blinds are more effective. When properly installed, window shades can be one of the simplest and most effective window treatments for saving energy. Those with a highly reflective surface facing the window can also reduce heat gain during the summer by as much as 45 per cent. Shades should be mounted as close to the glass as possible with the sides of the shade held close to the wall to establish a sealed air space. Shades on the south side of a house should be
raised in the winter during the day, and lowered during the night. Several manufacturers have designed two- or three-cell pleated or cellular shades with dead air spaces, which increase their insulating value. For greater efficiency, use dual shades—highly reflective (white) on one side and heat absorbing (dark) on the other side—that can be reversed with the seasons. The reflective surface should always face the warmest side—outward during the cooling season and inward during the heating season, and they need to be drawn all day to be effective. Draperies’ ability to reduce heat loss and gain depend on several factors, including fabric type (closed or open weave) and color. With such a wide variety of draperies available, it’s difficult to generalize about their energy performance. During the summer days, draperies should be closed on windows receiving direct sunlight to
prevent heat gain. Studies show medium-colored draperies with white-plastic backings can reduce heat gain by 33 per cent. When drawn during cold weather, most conventional draperies can reduce heat loss from a warm room up to 10 per cent. Therefore, in winter, all draperies should be closed at night, as well as draperies that don’t receive sunlight during the day. To reduce heat exchange or convection, draperies should be hung as close to windows as possible. For maximum effectiveness, a cornice at the top of a drapery or placing the drapery against the ceiling, sealing the drapery at both sides and overlapping it in the center using Velcro or magnetic tape may reduce heat loss up to 25 per cent. Window coverings can provide a quick, fresh new look for the interior along with energy savings. For this year’s trends, visit a window treatment specialist for tips and ideas.

Testimonial about Larry Hunt I am still shocked at the speed and efficiency that got the bulk of the work done in only 8 days. I had been dreading launching into the project as it seemed as if my whole summer would be ruined by the noise and mess and people coming and going. The reality was that the job was started on time, done with efficiency, determination and care, and completed before estimated time and under budget. Your staff were both skilled and hardworking, polite and respectful. They were quiet, tidy, punctual and did a marvellous job right down to the final clean up with not a loose nail, screw or scrap of wood left behind.
Appreciatively, Maureen Bodie PS: Thank you so much for the celebratory bottle of wine
