Over 1,000 residents attended the annual Labour Day Picnic, presented each year in Dougall Park by the Sunshine Coast Labour Council. Kids gave the bouncy castle a good workout, everyone enjoyed live music, burgers, hot dogs and corn on the cob courtesy of the Labour Council, and families had fun in the playground with Frisbees. Kids (and spectators) enjoyed the traditional pie-eating contests, with prizes for all. This winner in the six-yearold category exclaimed, “I can’t believe I did that!”

there’s no advice on where ‘well brought up’ boys shouldn’t go or who they shouldn’t talk to. Second, a suggestion that many teachers to this day would strongly advise but hopefully without the derogatory judgment: “The chewing of gum in a streetcar, in church, or in any other place outside of your own private room stamps you at once as ‘common’.” Yikes! Thirdly, as school dances seem to be becoming more and more frequent with younger and younger grades, students would do well to remember, “bobbing and wriggling are taboo” and to “let the spring
come from the ankles and the knees… imitate the grace of the swallow.” Now that I would love to see! Another still relevant piece of advice on dances: “If your partner doesn’t dance well, take it pleasantly – but not as too much of a joke – and help him to do better.” You wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Nowadays, much of this advice seems old fashioned and out of date. But if we take the kernel of the idea and apply it to our modern context, it is essentially the same – be safe, be polite and be kind. And imitating the grace of the swallow wouldn’t hurt either.

If you listened closely in the last days of August you could almost hear the collective groans of children and relieved sighs of parents everywhere. As schools open for the new academic year, we’d like to offer students some perspective on how the rules have changed over the years. Here are some of the rules set out for pupils of the Sechelt United School in 1921. We found these gems in a book from our archives entitled Manners and Conduct In School and Out. We have some examples from this book on display in our school exhibit on the second floor of the museum, but here are a few more to ruminate on. First, where NOT to socialize: “If you are well brought up, girls, you will not loiter on the street to talk to one another; much less to boys. Street visiting is taboo.” It’s strange but

Editorial Opinion
Letters to the Editor – Opinions
Gas prices downright indigestible
In mid-August, a CTV report announced that Lower Mainland drivers face the highest gas prices in North America, according to a study by GasBuddy.com. To which we on the Sunshine Coast said, “surprise, surprise.” With costs equaling and occasionally surpassing Vancouver’s price at the pumps, Coasters can be forgiven for feeling a tad gouged. After all, the Metro Vancouver communities that topped the list of 10 most expensive places to fill up in North America (Delta, Surrey, Pitt Meadows and Vancouver) are paying about 16 cents per litre more in special assessed-inMetro-only taxes. And overhead costs in Vancouver surely are higher than on the Sunshine Coast. For everyone in BC, about 49 cents of each litre’s cost is straight tax: for Translink, for the provincial gas tax, for PST and GST. Gas company reps explain that on top of these charges, Coast residents have to factor in the cost to barge the fuel up from the Port Moody refineries. Sure. But in Victoria, the price at the pump is as much as ten cents per litre less than Coasters are accustomed to. And presumably their gas is also barged over from Port Moody. So that won’t wash. Gas company reps also maintain that the price of gas is tied to the per-barrel price of crude oil. That won’t wash either. Recently, the price of oil plummeted, but the price at the pump stayed within two or three cents per litre and actually rose at one point. If the price of crude mattered, in Canada – a nation, we are reliably informed, which produces a whole lot of oil and gas – motorists should be able to tank up at reduced rates because the sale of excess production would subsidize our own consumption. This isn’t happening. Over the past years, gas prices have gradually risen towards the benchmark rate of $1.50 per litre, and because it’s been so gradual there has been virtually no protest from the nation’s motorists. Whining to the gas station attendant is not effective protest. Instead, residents need to stand up and say to their elected representatives, “I’m being gouged, and I won’t take it any more.” And if that doesn’t work, there’s always the bus. After all, our gas taxes are paying for it. Heather Jeal, Editor Letters to the Editor and Submissions are welcome on any topic of local or general interest.

OOPS! Re: Wharf restoration appeal ramps up, The Local, August 29 John Denham, a Draughtsman with Mobius Architecture, created the drawings of the proposed Davis Bay wharf reconstruction during his free time as a donation to the project. Mr. Denham was incorrectly identified as an architect in the story. The Local apologizes for any confusion this may have caused. Re: A great big thank you, The Local, August 29 In her column, ‘A Caring Community,” Sunshine Coast Community Services Society Co-Executive Director Lucie McKiernan thanked the “Semiahmoo graduation class” for a donation of $15,000. This should have read “Elphinstone graduation class.” Kudos to the kids!
“Are you taking them away?” “Yes, I am taking them away” responds the Conservation Officer; the look on his face said it all; the exhaustion of covering an area as large as the Sunshine Coast, making decisions for public safety, and realizing that he has to shoot bears, again. It’s not pretty, and it is certainly not a part of their job that they enjoy carrying out. The bright blue culvert trap contains a sow and her yearling cub; they have become habituated to humans, lost their natural wariness, and are comfortable entering residences for food (in this case, apples in a kitchen). Bears like to roam through areas they perceive to be ‘safe’ local neighbourhoods, entering carports to steal backpacks, rummage through outdoor garbage bins, following the scent to backyard chicken coops and birdfeeders, and accessing unpicked fruit in yards. Our garbage is still the number one killer of bears in British Columbia. Bears have a keen sense of smell (2100 times better than ours) and extraordinary memory capabilities. Sadly, it only takes just ONE taste of our garbage, a non-natural food attractant, and the bear is addicted. A death sentence is imminent. I am always asked, “Why don’t they re-locate the bear?” Re-location and
translocation are extremely hard on a bear; it has been shown that most relocated bears either starve or become prey when they are placed in a new, unknown territory. We can change our behavior – the bears cannot. As bears enter the hyperphagia stage, they are being biologically driven to consume 10,000 to 20,000 calories per day; some will forage for up to 20 hours in a day. We must remain vigilant with our attractants: pick ripened and fallen fruit, keep birdfeeders and pet food inside, aerate compost, clean BBQ’s, store refuse in a secure container (inside), erect a properly installed and maintained electric fence to protect chickens or crops. Whistler has destroyed two bears this year (one B&E, one Wildlife Collision); the Sunshine Coast destroyed 10 bears during the period from May 16 to August 13. We have chosen to live in an area that directly interfaces with prime habitat for wildlife. It is our responsibility to safely co-exist and to help keep wildlife, wild. I have a lot of faith in local residents; I think we can manage that.

Fine to give Translink a brake I recently read a news item informing us, the downtrodden taxpayer, that we possibly could face the imposition of yet another tax. This has to do with Translink’s plans for expansion After much thought, I came up with an idea that might raise the funds needed for expansion without hitting the taxpayer in the purse/wallet. I wish to suggest that law enforcement devote about six months to nabbing drivers who ignore STOP signs, all over the province, but particularly on the Sunshine Coast. A hefty fine would be in order for a first offence and doubled for a second offence. Anything beyond that might include licence suspension. All fines would be forwarded to Translink. Those drivers on the Coast who obey STOP signs with a FULL stop, know that the majority of drivers today completely ignore the word STOP. If my plan were to be adopted, I visualize Translink will have a huge cash surplus to fulfill their expansion plans and also a bit left over to provide bonuses for their hard working staff. I rest my case. Don Hensler, Gibsons
Vaccination challenge The vaccination article in the Aug 29 issue of The
Local indicates that vaccines are safe and effective. It mentions recent outbreaks of measles but doesn’t reveal how many of the infected had been vaccinated. Immunologist Tetyana Obukhanych has analysed the infection rates during a large 2011 Quebec measles epidemic in which many of the cases had been vaccinated. She’s found that, although vaccination appeared to be effective to some degree, it wasn’t effective enough to provide herd immunity. Not just parents, but many doctors and scientists have become disenchanted with immunization ideology. In 2004, a British paediatrician who didn’t dare identify himself, told media that he offered both the single measles vaccine and MMR, a practice counter to the dictum of public health authorities. Gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield’s suggestion that it would be prudent to give measles, mumps and rubella vaccines separately and spaced several months apart resulted in his banishment from practice. But since his 1998 study (since withdrawn), others have corroborated his findings of a possible link between autism, bowel disease and MMR. In 2009, Dr Healy, former head of the US National Institutes of Health, told CBS News, “I don’t think you should ever turn your back on any scientific hypothesis”. She exemplified with lack of tracking to find how many cases of autism resulted from the 1,300-plus brain injury cases paid compensation in vaccine court. Not only is natural immunity much more reliable and permanent than vaccine-derived immunity, but it can provide other benefits, too. A 2002 study of West African children found that those who’d survived measles had a much higher survival rate from all other infections than those who’d been vaccinated. Research could be done in well-fed North American populations to look for a similar effect and with little risk of death. Why hasn’t it been done? Susan Fletcher, Sechelt

Home Renovations
Small outlays reap big returns with curb appeal First impressions count. A visitor’s first glimpse of a home gives a lasting impression and a hint on how well it has been cared for, inside and out.
Heather Jeal Editor
Improving curb appeal involves dressing your home to make a strong first impression on visitors and (when a preparing a home for re-sale) on prospective buyers. A home with a well-maintained exterior hints at an equally impressive interior. A few simple renovations can make a home more welcoming while bumping up its market appeal. Begin by removing clutter – broken planters, rusting lawn furniture, and discarded toys. Fall garden clean-up and winterizing includes hedge trimming, pruning roses, weeding, planting spring bulbs and putting down a fresh layer of organic mulch to protect and nourish shrub and perennial roots during the colder months. Consider adding some fall or winter colour with fresh plantings. Local nurseries will be please to advise on best shrubs for Coastal climate and soil conditions. Provide driveway and side-
Adding a fresh layer of mulch to edged flowerbeds deters weed growth and adds definition to plantings, for a tidier and more colourful presentation. walk definition with edging. Paving stone or brick edging, either level or slightly elevated, can protect both lawn and driveway from erosion and offer an elegant frame for the garden area as well. Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that low hanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view or blocking light from the home’s interior. Let the light in, and let the home be seen! Book the services of an arborist or knowledgeable tree pruner/removal specialist in the fall for winter pruning.
Regularly throughout the fall and winter, ensure gutters are cleared of leaves, sticks and other debris. For homes surrounded by trees, consider replacing open gutters with guarded types to reduce clogs and potential roof damage.

Even if the front door is not generally used, make it appealing with the addition of modern upgraded hardware, hinges that move freely and squeak-free, a fresh door mat, and possibly an accent planter filled with seasonal colour. As the holiday season approaches, a well-groomed entry will provide a welcoming focal point to the home with improved curb appeal.

The guided tours focus on segments of the District of Sechelt’s Public Art Collection as well as a few other artworks located in and around the community. Led by Arts Coordinator Siobhan Smith, the tours will give residents and visitors the opportunity to view both new and historic works and learn more about the artists who created them. Whenever possible, the artists will join the tour to answer questions about their work. The District of Sechelt has been collecting works of art since the 1970s. Two newer acquisitions are now on public display: Gord Halloran’s Hung Jury can be viewed in the municipal offices reception area, and Todd Clark’s stunning oil painting Paradise Found is displayed inside the Sechelt Public Library. Thursday, September 12 at 11 a.m., join the Outdoor Public Art Tour to view work in the Spirit Square Sculpture Garden, as well as a shíshálh totem pole, the new murals at the Sechelt Skateboard Park, and master carver Dudley Carter’s Sanctuary. Wednesday, September 26 at 1 p.m. tour the Indoor Art Collection at the District of Sechelt municipal offices, including works by eight local artists. Tours are free, but limited to 10 people per tour. To reserve, please contact Siobhan Smith at 604-9890804 or email ssmith@ sechelt.ca.

Zucchini madness strikes in September They start out small – just one or two plants in a corner of the garden – and finish in a tangle of vines and watermelon-sized gourds. The ubiquitous zucchini gets away from us again. Usually, zucchini are picked when they are six to eight inches long. The mammoth versions (that used to have a way of showing up anonymously on doorsteps) are just as tasty as their younger brothers and are well suited to slicing in half lengthwise, seeding and stuffing with – for example – a meatloaf blend of ground beef, onion, and mushrooms. For a vegetarian entrée, slice the zucchini, brush with olive oil, and grill on the barbecue. Sprinkle each slice with a pinch of Italian seasoning to add pizzazz. Zucchini is an excellent addition to a number of dishes, adding bulk and enrichment to support the more complex flavours of other ingredients. With only 17 calories per 100g, zucchini – particularly the yellow variety – is an excellent source of fibre, folates, potassium, vitamins C and A, and various anti-oxidents. Grate it, peel and all, into a Bolognese spaghetti sauce or a cake batter, to add bulk, moisture and enrichment without noticeably altering the end flavour. Zucchini cooks quickly, making it a great ingredient in a quick one-pot supper like Pasta with Sausage, Feta and Zucchini - or as a side dish sautéed in olive oil with garlic and thyme.

Pasta with Sausage, Feta and Zucchini
Serves 4
1 pkg (400g) fusilli or rigatoni 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced finely 1 tbsp (15 ml) dried chili flakes 2 tbsp (30 ml) dried oregano (or 4 tbsp (60 ml) fresh oregano, chopped) 2 mild Italian-style sausages (like Oak Tree Market’s Tuscan sausages) 1 small zucchini, either cut into matchsticks or grated zest and juice from 1 lemon ¼ cup (50 ml) crumbled feta cheese ¼ cup (50 ml) grated Parmesan cheese chopped fresh oregano for garnish Add pasta to a pot of boiling, salted water; stir and cook about six minutes or until it has a bit of ‘bite’ (not too soft). Drain, saving a few tablespoons of the pasta water for the sauce. While the pasta is cooking, slice sausage and sauté in large frying pan over medium-high heat for five minutes, stirring and turning to brown evenly. Drain on paper towels. Add olive oil to frying pan, stir in garlic cloves and chili flakes. Reduce heat to low and stir until garlic is trans-

The Negroni is a deceptively simple, elegant 1950s-era Italian pre-dinner cocktail. In that era of glamour and style, Italy – with its deep sense of fashion and design – welcomed the American cocktail tradition and carried it to the next level. The ritual of preparation, the service

lucent. Do not let it brown or it will be bitter. Add the zucchini and stir-fry for two to three minutes. Stir in the sausage and pasta water, feta, lemon juice and zest, and the Parmesan cheese. Place in serving bowl, garnish with more Parmesan and chopped fresh oregano, and serve with a salad of fresh tomatoes tossed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and basil. To give this dish a Greek accent, substitute lamb sausage for the Italian-style version.

Drivers lighten up during fall’s dark days
Tuesday morning’s rain squall reminded drivers that we are about to return to dark and challenging driving conditions. After months of extended daylight and bright sunshine, September’s shorter, darker days might catch motorists unprepared. Now is the time to check all lights to ensure they are functioning well. Check that headlights, taillights
and signal lights are all in good working order now, and regularly throughout the winter months – don’t be a ‘one-eyed monster’ driving down the dark Coast roads. During the year, headlights can shift out of alignment. Readjusting them can make a surprising difference for nighttime driving. Reverse lights illuminate the scene when backing
up, but more importantly they warn pedestrians and other drivers that a vehicle is about to reverse. These lights should also be checked regularly. Many Coast drivers have installed overly-bright lights, such as ‘fog lamps’ to help cope with night driving. Unfortunately, on a darkened highway these can blind oncoming drivers as effectively
as ‘high-beams’ (and cannot be quickly adjusted while driving.) These lights should be used for off-roading, or in fog – but not when driving the Sunshine Coast Highway. Replacing and adjusting lights now should be part of a motorist’s fall safety routine. A car care professional can offer this service quickly and competently. Editor

food drive for The food BAnks
It’s time again for the Thanksgiving Food Drive to help fill the shelves of the food banks on the Sunshine Coast. This is a timely gathering for the fall season and especially for Thanksgiving and after. Please help if you can. This is how it works: Bags are left on your house front door handle with a Thanksgiving Food Drive label between Sept. 14 and Sept 19. On Sat. 21 someone will come around to collect the donations and deliver them to the Food Bank. All you have to do is put your donation in the bag and leave it out on Saturday morning before or at 9:00am. If you miss us, you can call the contact number. We also need volunteers to help distribute the bags and pick them up. This Food Drive really works. It’s easy and not intrusive. Every person makes a difference, come with your group, or come as individuals! Last year 11 volunteers gathered 4500 pounds of food for the food banks. Groups that might like to help are: Walking groups, church groups, and charitable organizations, teams, and all others. Every person makes a difference, We will provide the bags, labels, phone numbers, contacts and other logistics such as coordinating streets to avoid overlap and so forth. My husband and I are the Coast Food Drive coordinators and if you want to help, please call 604-885-8894 and leave a message. We will also be at the Seniors’ Center in Sechelt from 7-9pm Wednesday Sept. 11, if you would like to get started directly. The food is given to the closest of the 4 food banks on the Coast.

Horoscope September 6 to September 12 Astrologer
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20) Your focus has turned to making improvements; your aim is to create more beauty and harmony. Producing refinements in your home and family and in your relationship interactions is your goal. The overall tone is passionate and revolutionary. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) An extra creative cycle continues. You are intent upon outright renovation, and consequently your overall momentum is extra dynamic and busy. Your creative juices are flowing so amply that you feel inspired to attend to a variety of fronts. For the sake of key relationship involvements and the future, commitment and endurance are key words. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) The energy flow is large now. Whether that is a good thing depends on your situation. Despite deeper themes linked to the need to be more disciplined, perhaps especially towards your health and lifestyle in general, your energy levels stand to be high or exasperating. This New Moon will activate desires to make measurable improvements close to home. Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) An extra busy period is underway and will continue. A full spectrum of errands and social activities fills your calendar. Meanwhile, thoughts about long-term investments are on your mind. The realities of revolutionary changes

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) Some new activation is occurring in your public and/ or professional life. A mix of desires for social stimulation and call to adventure balanced by practical concerns and considerations are likely. You may need to bring more order to your affairs and your living and work space. If you could balance social activity with cleaning and organizing you would have it all. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) You want information, insights and answers. Balancing the facts with what constitutes truth for you presents an intellectual adventure. Finding the right tool or person for various projects remains important as well. Your passions are peaking noticeably. Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) A mix of endings and beginnings are keeping you busy. These include dynamic and lively interactions with significant others. Desire for more play and cultural activity is in the mix. The overall complexity in the flow may be causing your confidence levels to waver. Yet, you feel the need to pitch for higher and more stable ground. Onward you must go. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) A whole new quality of association is occurring in your relationships. This is requiring that you make extra efforts and dig much deeper than usual. Gaining the cooperation of others requires flexibility, patience and resour cefulness. Some may feel suspicious of your motives. The key is to give more than usual and thereby demonstrate your sincerity.

are clearly evident to you. Scan the details and aim for a much wider scope. Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) Some very real and measurable pioneering initiatives have begun for you. Now the focus is upon all the practical details it implies. This trend will continue. Fortunately, your focus and determination are strong now. You have gained a glimpse of new visions and possibilities and you want to realize them. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) The New Moon in your sign signifies new beginnings in the germination process but you can expect to see real signs of growth by equinox. While outer efforts are required, the emphasis points to inner work and/or extra activity behind the scenes. Clarify your priorities and manage your time well. Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) This time of year is a call inward for you. Ideally you are taking heed of it. However, the pull to engage in outer social activity is extra strong this time as well. Dynamic and even dramatic interactions are calling. Balancing these conflicting forces is ever ideal and important. Aim for grace and poise between these two extremes. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) Although a particularly hot period continues, it is beginning to cool off somewhat. Circumstances are pushing you to assert yourself independently. Innovation and subtlety are challenges. Training and skill development is likely and ideal yet your will to do the work may be wavering. Incite inspiration to persevere.
