echelt dedicated its newest trail and viewpoint last week as Mayor John Henderson, East Porpoise Bay Ratepayers Association (EPBRA) President Peter Wooding, and Olive the apricot poodle officiated at the Burnett Falls Park ribbon-cutting. “This will open up a real gem on the Sunshine Coast,” Henderson said as he clipped the ribbon.

Located on a three-acre parcel at the eastern end of Burnett Road, the park features a pedestrian-only gravel trail, a lookout with views of “a perfect West Coast forest setting,” and a second viewpoint overlooking the falls just an eight-minute walk from the trailhead. The 50-foot falls sported a thick mantle of ice. “They look great – frozen or not,” said Wooding. “It’s glorious to have them.”

Burnett Falls Park is now part of Coast’s inventory of over 325 trails covering approximately 570km. The inventory is included in the 100-page draft Sunshine Coast Trails Strategy compiled by E. Lees and Associates Consulting Ltd., to be presented Saturday, February 15 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Seaside Centre, Sechelt. For more information: www.sctrails.ca Sunshine Coast Tourism (SCT) President Celia Robbin notes that the trail networks draw thousands of hikers, cyclists, campers and photographers to the Coast year-round for a unique and accessible wilderness experience. Tapping into the adventure tourism market, SCT’s social media campaign, #52weeksoftrails, invites participants to ‘Blaze a Trail for 2014.’ The initiative launched January 1. Each week, e-blasts on social media announce the week’s trail to be discovered, and hikers share photos of their Coastal experience via Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Supreme Court confirms Cash Store must refund $1 million to consumers

now playing

The Supreme Court of British Columbia has upheld Consumer Protection BC’s Compliance Orders against Cash Store Financial Inc. requiring the company to refund illegal fees charged for cash cards issued to consumers who took out payday loans between November 1, 2009 and March 23, 2012 from The Cash Store and Instaloans, both operated by Cash Store Financial Inc. An estimated 68,000 consumers may be eligible; refunds may even-

tually total $1 million. The refund process was to begin in late 2012 but Cash Store Financial Inc. applied for a judicial review of Consumer Protection BC’s orders.

Pending the judicial review process, the Court had ordered Cash Store to secure the refund amount of more than $1 million in the event the orders were upheld.

Consumer Protection BC is now expecting Cash Store to begin the refund process as outlined in the supplemental order, effective immediately.

“This ruling from the Supreme Court of BC is very significant for both consumers and the payday lending industry,” said Manjit Bains, vice president corporate relations, Consumer Protection BC. “Consumer Protection BC will work to ensure that all consumers, who are eligible for refunds receive complete and accurate refunds quickly.”

Editorial Opinion Free as the air Here in Canada, we really live a blessed existence. We take so much for granted, viewing as our ‘right’ certain assets that we are actually privileged to enjoy.

Most of the world does not have access to clean water, let alone having it pour from household taps virtually without restriction. Throughout Canada, every home has potable water pumped to its own dispensing units in such abundance, we can use it to flush our toilets. (In some places it might be less tasty than the artesian product of Gibsons’ well, but it is still drinkable.)

Economists with the World Health Organization have noted that providing a reliable source of water can be the single most effective action to help villages in developing nations rise out of the poverty cycle. Our own prosperity as a nation is rooted in our natural resources, particularly water. Our continuing survival depends on keeping this resource clean and flowing.

We take our clean air for granted – unlike residents of Beijing or Bangkok, we can step outside without requiring face masks to filter out toxic smog. In developing nations such as China, coal (once a staple of North American industry, now replaced by cleaner and cheaper hydro or natural gas) is used to fuel industry. As development increases, so does the appetite for fuel and so the demand for cheap ‘thermal’ coal is booming. The process of getting the product out of the ground and to market is fraught with environmental and health risks; it’s a dirty fuel that contaminates air and water throughout its passage.

Dust from U.S. thermal coal barged from Port of Metro Vancouver past the Sunshine Coast to Texada Island now threatens our own air and water. Anyone who cares about the quality of our air and water should register their concern with their MP, MLA and with the federal and provincial Ministers of Environment.

Not all airborne toxins can be seen or smelled, and the most dangerous are produced by the massive so-called ‘Waste-to-Energy’ incinerators being proposed for First Nations land near Port Mellon, as well as for Nanaimo area.

Like the incinerator in Burnaby that now gobbles up bargeloads of household and industrial waste, the proposed plant will spew toxins into the air which will follow the airstream down Howe Sound to Gibsons and through the valleys to Sechelt and Halfmoon Bay. Zero Waste advocates are lobbying against incinerators, and urge concerned residents to join their online protest at zerowastecanada.ca We are privileged to enjoy clean air and clean water, and safeguarding them for future generations to enjoy, as we have, is our duty as responsible citizens.

Harper a ‘dangerous’ PM In his speech to the Knesset, Harper said, with respect to his fawning support of Israel, “Indeed, Israel is the only country in the Middle East which has long anchored itself in the ideals of freedom, democracy (see Mordechai Vanunu) and the rule of law.” I guess Israel’s ongoing violations of U.N. resolutions, decades of war crimes and other human rights abuses, and Netanyahu’s never-ending threats to attack Iran – which has zero nuclear weapons compared to the over 200 in Israel’s possession – are a few feet away from the anchor. It’s a sad irony that Iran would be one of the oldest democracies in the Middle East if the CIA and the British MI6 had not engineered the overthrow of Mosaddegh’s government in 1953 (that pesky problem of our oil being under their sand).

Harper also said, with respect to his enthusiastic support, “This is a very Canadian trait, to do something for no reason other than it is right, even when no immediate reward for, or threat to, ourselves is evident.” What bloody non-

sense! Falling in line with the position of the U.S. government on Israel always has rewards - in a few minutes if not immediately.

And you don’t need a Ph.D. in political science to anticipate what might happen to a country that too vociferously criticizes U.S. foreign policy, especially in the Middle East. But perhaps Harper illustrated most dramatically the disconnect between his speech and reality when he said, “Most disgracefully of all, some openly call Israel an apartheid state. Think about that. Think about the twisted logic and outright malice behind that.” Comparing this bizarre statement to, for example, this episode of democracynow (http:// www.democracynow.org/ shows/2014/1/13), reveals that Harper is not just an unlikeable prime minister; he is also a dangerous one.

money matters

Homework needed when deciding when – or if – to refinance With lenders advertising that ‘now’ is the time for refinancing a mortgage to reduce monthly payments or free up equity for home improvements or other necessities, homeowners may want to consider a number of facts before making their decisions.

Lower interest rates often motivate homeowners to refinance, as a lower interest rate can save homeowners a substantial amount of money over the course of their loans. However, refinancing too soon (within four years of the original home loan) may put homeowners in a negative light. Lenders may see borrowers who refinance too soon or too frequently as risky borrowers who cannot successfully manage their money. Also, some mortgages have prepayment penalties built in. Should a person pay off the mortgage too early, usually within two to five years, 2 to 4 percent of the home’s loan value must be paid out. Refinancing counts as paying off one loan and opening up another. Penalties could deter a person from refinancing too soon.

Refinancing a home is an expensive undertaking.

While it can effectively shave $100 or more off monthly payments, there is a financial outlay during the process, which includes closing costs. Expect to pay anywhere from 2 to 5 percent of the loan’s value in closing costs when refinancing. If the finances are simply not there to cover the closing costs, refinancing may not be an option.

If your credit rating is better now than it was when you initially earned your home loan, then this might be a good time to refinance.

Not only will a person benefit from a low market rate, the interest rate may be even lower because lenders look more fondly on you now than they did years ago.

Lenders often base their assessments of borrower reliability and stability on those potential borrowers’ credit scores, so a strong credit score makes you look better in the eyes of lenders. Borrowers with poor credit ratings may not benefit from refinancing.

A person’s debt-to-income ratio is another factor in determining mortgage interest rates and approval. A positive change in income status as well as reduction in debt could make it a good time to refinance.

Many people opted for adjustable rate mortgages when buying homes years ago. Refinancing for a fixedrate mortgage, regardless of the current interest rate, could ease some of the financial burden.

A higher home value means more equity in the home. This money can be used to pay down debt or for home improvements that further improve the value of the home and property.

It is important to speak with a real estate professional to determine if home values have spiked in a particular neighborhood and to gain an accurate appraisal of the home. This will help determine if refinancing is frugal.

By being aware of market trends and other financial factors, refinancing a home loan can make good sense.

Dark humour lightens explosive Gasland II With the current proposal to bring a liquid natural gas (LGN) facility to Howe Sound, The Green Film Series continues to bring timely films to the Sunshine Coast with the screening of Gasland II on Monday, February 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Gibsons Heritage Playhouse. This film takes a broader look at the dangers of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the controversial method of extracting natural gas and oil, now occurring on a global level. Admission is by donation to this community event.

In this explosive followup to his Oscar®-nominated

film Gasland, filmmaker Josh Fox uses his trademark dark humor to show how the stakes have been raised on all sides in one of the most important environmental issues today. The film argues that the gas industry’s portrayal of natural gas as a clean and safe alternative to oil is a myth and that fracked wells inevitably leak over time, contaminating water and air, hurting families, and endangering the earth’s climate with the potent greenhouse gas, methane. In addition the film looks at how the powerful oil and gas industries are in Fox’s words “contami-

nating our democracy.”

A discussion and update on the proposed Woodfibre LNG facility by the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association (SCCA) and The Future of Howe Sound Society will follow the film.

This event is produced by Rhizome Up! Media CCC Ltd. in community partnership with the SCCA. The Green Film Series is dedicated to using film as a catalyst for dialogue, networking, action and community engagement on environmental and sustainability issues.

Early Childhood Care training starts Sept.

On Campus Jules Smith & Caroline Depatie Capilano University News

If you have ever been a parent looking for childcare, you know how challenging it can be to find those coveted spots in a quality early childhood setting. As an employer, you may have felt frustrated by the challenges of hiring qualified staff for your excellent childcare centre. Or, as an enterprising person seeking meaningful work, you may want to open your own daycare as an option for employment. You need the proper certification to do so but don’t want to leave the Coast. And you may want to begin an Early Childhood Care and Education program as a pathway to a degree. One that could possibly lead to a career as a teacher in the BC school system. In response to some of these challenges for the community, its families and youth, the regional campus will be offering a flexible fulltime ECCE program with a part-time option beginning in September 2014.

This program provides students with the potential to be leaders and showcase new ways of thinking about and engaging in early childhood education. As one Capilano University ECCE

student commented, “It’s changed my image of children, families and communities, and it’s changed me as a person.”

For more information about the program, we will be hosting an information

session on Wednesday, February 19 from 5-7 p.m. on campus. You can also check our website at capilanou.ca/sunshine for more details. Call 604-8859310 or email sunshine@ capilanou.ca to RSVP.

Chambers support members’ success with advocacy, programs

Following on the success of their Facebook Advertising workshops in the fall, the Gibsons & District Chamber of Commerce is leading off a spring series of workshops with ‘LinkedIn 101 for Business’ on February 19 and 22.

“With over 250 million registered users in over 200 countries, LinkedIn is a ‘must tool’ for anyone who is serious about showcasing their business or networking with industry colleagues,” said workshop instructor Al Hyland. Hyland is a media strategist, and an expert on online and mobile marketing, and web analytics.

February 17, 2014 marks the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week, an opportunity for Chambers of Commerce across the province to demonstrate the outstanding value they provide to their communities.

This value comes in the form of benefits and services to stimulate local economies, direct community promotion and support, and engaging in an important multi-level advocacy role which benefits the entire province.

Advocacy is some of the Chambers’ most important work. Chambers raise issues that concern both their members

On March 12 and 15, the Chamber is holding ‘Electronic Invoicing and Payment Options for Small
