Working Together to Build Our Communities®
Annual Open House Saturday, Sept. 14 11:00am - 4:00pm 5784 Sechelt Inlet Road The Lehigh Materials Sechelt Mine Reclamation Program, managed by SYLVIS Environmental, has been ongoing for over a decade. Locally generated municipal biosolids are applied to degraded areas of the mine as fertilizer, improving soil fertility and increasing soil organic matter content. The increased soil quality as a result of biosolids applications promotes vegetation establishment and greening of the mine site. Reclamation is progressive occurring as mining is completed rather than at the end of the mine’s life. At the open house the Mining Association of BC (MABC) will formally announce that the Lehigh Materials Sechelt Mine Reclamation Program has won the 2012 Mining and Sustainability Award! This prestigious award recognizes organizations committed to advancing and promoting sustainable development in the BC mining sector. More
A wetland has been established on a former sedimentation pond at the Lehigh Materials mine site.
Biosolids are applied to a reclamation area to enhance soil development.
information on the award is available online at: http://www.mining.bc.ca/award/miningsustainability-award-2012. This is the sixth award that Lehigh has won which recognizes outstanding achievement in reclamation. Because of its innovative reclamation program, the Lehigh Materials Sechelt Mine
has been selected for the field tour portion of the 2013 Mine Reclamation Conference hosted by the British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation on September 17th. The annual conference focuses on fostering the exchange of information and ideas related to environmental
protection and reclamation in mining between government and industry professionals. Attendees will include nearly 200 government, industry and consulting professionals working in the mining and reclamation industry. The 2013 field tour at the Lehigh Materials Sechelt Mine will showcase Lehigh’s commitment to the community and the reclamation program managed by SYLVIS, as well as their relationship with the Sechelt Indian Band (SIB). As part of the tour the SIB will provide a presentation and cultural performance. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate Lehigh’s reclamation success and for mining and reclamation professionals from all over BC and Canada to visit the beautiful community of Sechelt.

Editorial Opinion Grey man’s burden Every so often, the media (excluding us, of course) haul out the doom-and-gloom robes and point fingers at the Baby Boomers – or as we have come to be known, The Source of All Social Ills. It’s been happening to us all our lives. First, there was the Great Social Ill of our advent, that bulge of population born between 1946 and 1964. How would they be fed? How would they be housed? How would they be educated? As it happened, Canada’s resource-driven economy and forwardthinking politicians came together to ensure a time of unprecedented prosperity for the middle class and their huge young families. Governments built capacity, not just for a single generation but those that would follow. The result was the best educated generation in history. Then there was the Great Social Ill of medical care. Few now remember the handwringing and doomsaying that followed the advent of (gasp) socialized medicine when Tommy Douglas first launched it in Saskatchewan. By the time it was adopted by the rest of Canada, most recognized its potential benefit to Canadian society by producing the healthiest generation in history. As the vanguard of Baby Boomers matured and headed off to university – often, the first in their family to do so – a whole new Great Social Ill raised its head. Hippies, radicals, free thinkers with long hair and wild ideas, marching for civil rights, women’s rights, equal rights and a whole new host of rights. Surely, now, the world would end. Instead, the ideas became enshrined in law and this became the most inclusive generation in history, laying the foundation for unprecedented equality and prosperity regardless of gender, race, religion or sexual preference (if any). The Boomers are sliding into Senior status and here comes the final Great Social Ill. Surely we will be sucking up all the medical capacity and senior housing and riding the ferries for free and getting discounts at Clayton’s and, generally, just being a burden on society. Polls quoted in the Province newspaper claim this is generally held belief and thus it must be so. Never mind that this is the best educated, healthiest, wealthiest, most socially active generation ever. Never mind that Boomers who retire are either soon back working for themselves, or else become cornerstone volunteers, or otherwise are busy having lives that don’t involve rocking chairs. Here is a generation that still sets the standard for rock bands, with a fossilized 70-plus-year-old Mick Jagger – not a grey hair to be seen – strutting his moves onstage and on tour. Far from being the generation that brings down the Canadian health care system, the Boomers are likely to continue propping it up with tax dollars – meanwhile strutting like Jagger and living to be an embarrassment to our children. And that is the grey person’s burden.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Butt, he’s wrong In response to A.F. Butt, I can only hope that the esteemed professor returns to school. The results are in on roundup and the picture isn’t pretty. As an organic farmer of some 50 plus years I can tell you that his statements are flawed and Prof, Butt (retired) intentionally misrepresents the findings. These types try to disenfranchise the public and that is reprehensible. Yes, glyphosphate has a low relative toxicity. But when mixed with the other “inert” and mostly secret ingredients such as surfactants that carry the chemicals to other parts of the plants, it becomes a toxic bomb. These mixtures are designed to kill cells! Period! Plant cells as well as human. The surfactants leach into skin as well as leaves. Despite being termed Inert they are anything but benign. The surfactants not only amplify the effects of glyphosphate but the glyphosphate amplify the effects of the surfactants, something like two plus two equals something more than four. Herbicide manufacturers are not subject to testing of inert ingredients and therein lies the problem. Our bodies are gigantic spider webs of chemical communications that operate in parts per trillion. The addition and loading of foreign and man made chemicals spells a death knell for human cells.one only has to look at the high incidence of cancers among farmers that
have used these supposedly “safe” concoctions to form an opinion. But the facts are there and speak for themselves. Trent C.Farrell, Organic Farmer (not retired)
Roundup re-Butt-al In his letter of last week, A.F. Butt asserted that Roundup is completely safe, claiming that Roundup consists of pure glyphosphate – and that pure glyphosphate is not as toxic as table salt. Excessive use of table salt is common in our society and this excessive use causes hypertension, which results in millions of premature deaths worldwide. So asserting that something is as safe as, or safer than, table salt does not inspire confidence. Mr. Butt also seems to be implying that Roundup contains nothing other than glyphosate, but the fact is that some formulations of Roundup contain the surfactant polyethoxylated tallow amine, which is highly toxic to animals and humans. Whether other formulations of Roundup contain other dangerous adjuvants is something that perhaps our resident ‘expert’, Mr. Butt, could investigate on our behalf, in view of the fact that – just before Monsanto’s patent on glyphosphate expired – there were 400 adjuvants being used in commercial agriculture. As Noam Chomsky says, the facts matter – even if we don’t like them. George Kosinski, Gibsons
A visit to Gibsons
A visit to Gibsons
This is to describe a visit to the wastewater treatment plant in Gibsons, on July 25 of this year. We were curious to see the workmanship of Maple Reinders, who built this plant in partnership with Stantec Consulting. We entered a clean, odorless and almost noiseless plant surrounded by trees and brush. We were cordially welcomed as the first visitors from Sechelt since the facility was commissioned in 2005. The management and team were honest and forthright in answering all of our questions truthfully. They faithfully represented the word professionalism. The 6,450 cubic metersper-day plant in Gibsons exceeds all of the requirements for a sewage treatment plant in British Columbia, with effluent approaching the quality claimed by Organica, the licensed technology chosen for Sechelt. We were surprised to find that the Gibsons plant cost only $5 million dollars! Contrast this to approximately $25 million for the new 4,000 cubic meters-per-day plant here in Sechelt. Our biggest surprise was on learning that neither Mayor Henderson, nor Councilors nor Sewage Steering Committee members visited this plant, which is only 30 minutes away from Sechelt. George Goudie, Michael Hume, and Barry Pruden, all of Sechelt for the Sechelt Sewage Coalition
The Coast Community Builders Association (CCBA) is hosting another ‘Provocative Talk’ this September by bringing in Ezra Levant to speak about expanding, exporting and becoming more dependent on Tar Sands oil. Levant is billed as Canada’s best known conservative pundit. Levant is quoted as saying, “I disagree with the philosophy that the earth is limited.” Don’t expect him to bring forward alternative expressions of renewable energy, or sustainable low footprint industries. Of course economic growth is welcomed, but not at the expense of a diminishing environment and our collective ‘natural wealth’. Levant promotes unbridled resource extraction in Canada, BC and on the Coast. He commonly uses techniques of fear and ridicule. If you attend a Provocative Talk and question one of his positions, be prepared to enter the slick corporate shark tank.

Sechelt’s super week of amazing activities Mayor’s Message John Henderson Mayor, District of Sechelt
What a great 10 days to be in Sechelt! From the ‘Car Weekend’ to the ‘Arts Weekend’, there’s been something for everyone – visitors and residents alike! The Rod Run on Friday, August 9, was spectacular. A record number of cars kept the thousands of residents and their guests, who make a great party of the evening, enthralled! On Saturday, the Show ‘n’ Shine on Cow-
rie Street (and beyond!) saw Sechelt bursting at its seams – with an amazing array of vehicles spanning 100 years (from 1912 to 2012)! Even the Drag Races on Sunday at the airport, while suffering from inclement weather in the afternoon, provided great fun for the participants and spectators alike. The second half of Super Week started with the 31st Festival of the Written Arts opening on Thursday evening. Friday saw the ‘Power of Paint’ event commence. Saturday meant it was time for the Arts Council’s Arts & Craft Fair
in Hackett Park. And, of course, along with these annual events, we had the weekly Farmers and Artisans Market on Saturdays and the SDBA’s Thursday Night Market, not to mention the numerous sporting events occurring as well. I am writing this on Sunday evening – having just returned from the concluding session at the Festival of the Written Arts along with the Arts and Crafts and Power of Paint earlier in the day. While I have said this previously on numerous times, what occurs to me most is how all of these events happen because of an astonish
number of dedicated and resourceful volunteers. On behalf of all of us, my thanks to each and every person involved in making Sechelt’s Super Week so successful. You are all terrific ambassadors for what makes Sechelt so great! I also want to acknowledge the enthusiasm and great energy shown by entire community throughout Super Week – with so many activities happening in a short period of time, the demonstrations of good will, positivity and friendship are other aspects of our community that we celebrate!

eNTer To wiN A MAGiC BuLLeT BLeNder/Mixer SySTeM Wheat grass (left) and kale (above) are rich in chlorophyll and contain the highest concentrations of easily digestible nutrients, fat burning compounds, vitamins and minerals to protect and heal the body. Writing in the Foreword to David Sandoval’s The Green Foods Bible, integrative cancer treatment specialist Dr. Keith I. Block states that “the need for superfoods and nutritional supplementation has never been greater than it is today.” Citing the loss in nutrients in fresh foods engineered for transportability and pest resistance, picked green and shipped thousands of miles before purchase and consumption. Block notes that studies in his own treatment facility show that a core ‘optimal diet’ rich in superfoods along with therapeutic supplementation are key components in a restorative health program. Chlorophyll-rich green superfoods – wheat grass, barley grass, wild bluegreen algae, spirulina and green leafy vegetables – contain the highest concentrations of easily digestible nutrients, fat burning compounds, vitamins and minerals to protect and heal the body. They contain a wide array of beneficial substances including proteins, protective photochemicals and healthy bacteria helping build muscle and tissue, aid the digestive system and protect against disease and illness. The molecular structure of chlorophyll is very similar to that of human blood. Studies show that an increase in chlorophyll consumption relates exactly to an increase in hemo-
globin production. Higher amounts of hemoglobin in the bloodstream means more oxygen-rich blood is feeding the body’s cells, helping it to thrive. Some green superfoods such as wheat or barley grass and the green leafy vegetables can be grown in the home garden or in containers on balconies or windowsills. Harvesting them just before use to add to blender drinks, salads, or other dishes preserves the most nutrients. When home-grown is not possible, or for elements such as wild blue-green algae, a high-quality supplement from a reputable health store or pharmacy can ensure the beneficial chlorophyll and other antioxidents are on hand to enhance the daily diet. A few green superfoods to add to your daily diet (either fresh or as supplements) may include: Wheat grass, the sprouted grass of a wheat seed, contains no gluten or other common allergic agents. Wheat grass normalizes the thyroid gland to stimulate metabolism, assists digestion and promotes weight loss due to its high enzyme content. Barley grass contains 11 times more calcium than cows’ milk, five times more iron than spinach, seven times more vitamin C and bioflavonoids than orange juice and significant amounts of vitamin B12 –
very important for vegans. Green leafy vegetables are readily available yearround (kale, chard and cabbage can over-winter in the garden and seeds can be sprouted indoors any time). Fresh raw green leafy vegetables contain high doses of chlorophyll, easily digestible proteins, enzymes and a wide range of vitamins and minerals. Wild blue-green algae, a phyto-plankton, is one of the best sources of beta carotene, B vitamins and chlorophyll and has a more complete amino acid profile than beef or soybeans. It has been shown to improve brain function and memory, strengthen the immune system and help with viruses,
colds and flu. Spirulina, a cultivated micro-algae, has been consumed for thousands of years by the indigenous peoples in Mexico and Africa. Studies have shown that spirulina can help control blood sugar levels and cravings thus making it a key food for diabetics, to assist in weight loss and as a general nutritional supplement. Chlorella, a fresh water algae, contains a complete protein profile, all the B vitamins, vitamin C and E and many minerals to benefit the immune system, reduce cholesterol and prevent hardening of the arteries, a precursor to heart attacks and strokes.

Arts & Culture Sunshine Coast on the
Chamber Music Fest a resounding success Eight musicians from around North America provided four glorious days of chamber music for fans of all ages August 16 - 18. The buzz of anticipation in the audience was palpable before performances and during intermissions, and there was a babble of comments at the end of every concert. For the first time, the bandoneón was featured in tango works by Piazzolla and in fugues by Bach, spanning three centuries. And, we were treated to the full range of what a clarinet can do, from gems of the chamber repertoire such as Brahms’ Clarinet Sonata No. 2 to François Houle’s own Aerial XXI. Who knew that two clarinets could be played at one time by the same person, and how often has anyone heard two notes played simultaneously on one clarinet? The Glazunov Oriental Reverie had music fans so mesmerized that there was simply dead silence for a number of seconds at its conclusion before they broke into wild applause, and
You could feel the electricity when internationally recognized violinist Lara St. John (left) took the stage along with Joyce Lai (violin), Rachel Mercer (cello), Ian Clarke and Yehonatan Berick (violas). Photo submitted Sarasate’s Navarra for Two Violins and Piano was an absolute tour de force. With thanks to the performers, to Artistic Direc-
tor Alexander Tselyakov, and to all the volunteers, it was truly a magical musical experience. Submitted

Cocktails & Cuisine Sunshine Coast on the
New shop offers global spectrum of Ultra Premium olive oils Fiona Pinnell and Matt Lunny opened the doors to Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co. in early August. Almost immediately, the heady aromas drew passersby into the tiny shop on Gower Point Road in Gibson’s Landing. Within days, Pinnell had bookings for private olive oil tastings well into October, was ordering more stock for cross-Canada shipping and hiring more staff as word spread about the shop’s quality products and services. Its 24/7 online store (www.sunshinecoastoliveoil.com) began humming nonstop with orders and questions. It was not until she began travelling through Europe and studying in Sicliy – always staying in small pensions and inns – that Pinnell rediscovered the ‘amazing’ artisanal products. As they travelled, Pinnell and Lunny kept hearing stories about adulterated oils fraudulently sold as ‘extra virgin,’ and realized the practice was alarmingly widespread. However, in opposition to the agribusiness of food fraud they discovered a renaissance in artisanal olive oils. They agree with Francesco DeCarlo, an Italian olive oil producer: “Why on earth do people buy expensive vegetables and dress them with the cheapest oil they can find?” Pinnell and Lunny are part of a co-op network of 300 specialty stores marketing a range of oils sourced from around the world – some infused with herbs or citrus, others particular varietals with special flavours or health properties – all carefully labeled with information as to vineyard, chemical composition, and other laboratory findings ensuring that the product being dispensed is exactly what it claims to be. A representative from the co-op attends each producer’s crush, tasting and testing the oil and sending a sample to an Australian laboratory for analysis and further testing. The oil is then shipped to the co-op’s central facility in Oakland, CA where it is again tasted and tested for quality assurance. The co-op purchases from farmgates around the world, ensuring that the freshest oils are delivered seasonally. At present, the majority of oils on offer at Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co. are from southern hemisphere producers: Australia, New Zealand, South America
Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co. will be one of only five stores in North America (and the only one in Canada) certified as an Ultra Premium olive oil retailer.
‘‘
Why on earth do people buy expensive vegetables and dress them with the cheapest oil they can find?” Francesco DeCarlo Italian olive oil producer
and Africa. Pinnell confirms that “Our oils are produced to the Australian Olive Oil Association standard that is 400 – 800 per cent higher than the European Union’s extra-virgin standard. At any given time, we carry at least five oils that are in the top echelon of Ultra-Premium, which is above the Australian standard.” Currently, Pinnell and Lunny have applied to be one of only five stores in North America (and the only one in Canada) certified as an Ultra Premium seller. Sunshine Coast Olive Oil offers in-store tastings of oils and balsamic vinegars, advice, sample packs (great for hostess gifts or wedding favours) and more. Private tastings are currently booked through October, but Pinnell plans to hold public tastings and workshops – as soon as the crush is over. Fiona’s Slow Braised Lamb Shanks with Coratina and Malbec Wine Reduction This recipe utilizes our superlative, ultra fresh, award winning Coratina extra virgin olive oil and Ultra Premium Barnea in two separate elements. -four lamb shanks -1/2 cup flour
-1 tablespoon kosher salt -fresh ground pepper to taste -four-inch sprig of rosemary -4 cloves fresh garlic, minced -1 medium onion minced -1 large carrot, finely diced -1/3 cup Ultra Fresh, UP, Coratina Olive Oil -3 cups Malbec red wine -1 cup hot water This recipe can be made either in an oven or crock pot. If using the oven, preheat to 300F. In a wide shallow dish or a gallon size Ziploc bag, mix the flour, salt and pepper. Rinse and pat the lamb shanks dry and dredge in the flour. In a large heavy bottom pan, heat the Coratina over medium-high heat, and
brown the lamb shanks until golden on all sides (about five minutes per side), taking care not to over-crowd the pan. Remove to a plate. In the same pan, add all of the vegetables and sauté over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits, until the onions are translucent (approximately five minutes). Pour in the wine and simmer for two minutes, then add hot water. Add the fresh rosemary to the bottom of a dutch oven and arrange the shanks on top. Pour the wine and vegetables over the top. Cover and cook for six hours. If using crock pot, set on ‘low’ and assemble as for oven method. After six hours, carefully remove the shanks from the liquid taking care not to allow the meat to slip off the bones. Cover to keep warm. Strain and de-fat the braising liquid. Place in a small saucepan and reduce by half. Adjust the seasoning with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Place lamb shank atop a bed of mashed potatoes made with ultra fresh UP Barnea extra virgin olive oil, drizzle with sauce reduction and garnish with fresh rosemary.

Horoscope August 23 to August 29 Astrologer
Tip of the Week For many, this year has been extra dramatic. The Mercury Retrograde cycle which began in late June and lingered all the way through to August 4 was particularly turbulent. From a wider angle, close and potent alignments between Pluto, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter continue to synchronize with revolutionary change. Among its effects is a growing emphasis on women assuming positions of power and authority. The rising demand for democracy and justice and the decline of power linked to religious institutions as we are seeing in the Middle East are other important themes. From the stand point of Chinese Astrology, this Year of the Water Snake is delivering the ‘shedding of skins’, implying significant changes on personal and collective levels. This cycle continues through to February 2014 so there is still time to tunein and start peeling and shedding that old skin.
treat for a while. Clarify your vision of your ideal outcome, then formulate a plan of action to realize your dreams. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) Stir the pot and shake things up. Pay extra close attention to a tendency to procrastinate. Do a little war dance, voice your intentions and go for it! Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) As old rhythms, patterns, appetites and priorities dissolve you are challenged to replace them with something new. Create new alliances; reach out to be seen and heard. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) Passions and ambitions have been rising. Cast a critical eye upon developments. Approach others with empathy, diplomacy and a negotiable attitude for best results. Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) A time of endings and of new beginnings has begun. Focus diligently over the next several weeks so future aspirations can germinate in a healthy and timely manner. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) Make some specific improvements – even renovations – on the relationship front. Be open to advice, guidance and coaching. Collaborative efforts will prove more productive than solo work.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) The focus now is home and family with an emphasis to create a healthier lifestyle. Energy levels should continue to rise. Establish a new norm with health in mind. Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) Expect your focus to diversify; you will feel more enthusiastic and adventurous as well. Entertain the possibilities, but do the numbers. Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) A new momentum has been initiated. Access the full measure of your talents and resources; confront some very real fears to lay claim to latent powers. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) The Sun in your sign will activate your will and drive. Your focus will sharpen.
