or the sixteenth consecutive year, Roberts Creek volunteers have brought artist/designer Rob Marion’s intricate mandala design to glowing life at the entrance to Roberts Creek pier. This year’s design theme, the bee,

is particularly apt. In the course of an intensive and creative week, the site was a hive of activity, honeycombed by volunteer artists of all ages busily painting their allotted section. Typically, Marion spends three to five days designing the work on site (first in chalk, then in thinned white
n
r t n olunt r l n t
paint). Once the design is laid down, members of the public flock in to paint their own designs within the outlines under supervision of volunteer organizers. Although each section is painted independently by each individual artist, the resulting mandala mosaic displays an amazing harmonious whole.

Jennifer Lyon, Manager of RBC Sechelt, presents Hatchery technician Landyn Funk with a cheque from the RBC Day of Service Grant program. PHOTO SUBMITTED Earlier this spring, twelve employees from the Sechelt Branch of the Royal Bank of Canada volunteered at the Chapman Creek salmon hatchery as part of RBC’s Day of Service Grant program, assisting with grounds cleanup and a salmon release. The program provides hands-on
assistance to charitable organizations for one-time or short-term projects, along with a $1,000 grant. Chapman Creek salmon hatchery is operated by the Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhancement Society (SCSES) and releases up to a million salmon into coastal waters each year. Funds
for the hatchery operation come largely from individual and corporate donations from the Sunshine Coast, and many of the Hatchery operations are carried out by volunteers. For more information, please contact the SCSES at 604-741-0549. Submitted

The program is really a win-win, for both July 18, 2013 local producers and local families.” ~ Jon Bell ~ President, BC Association of Farmers’ Markets
The Farmers’ Market Coupon Program, which provides lower-income families, pregnant women and seniors with coupons for locally produced food is receiving an additional $2 million investment, Health Minister Terry Lake announced recently. The Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program, administered by the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets, runs from July through October 2013 and offers $15 worth of coupons each week to individuals and families enrolled in the nutrition and skills building programs offered by participating community agencies. Coupons are treated like cash at the participating markets and can be used to purchase a variety of locally-

Association of Farmers’ Markets noted “the program is really a win-win, for both local producers and local families.” The program is expected to support about 1,300 families and 400 seniors in 2013 and will continue to expand.

Editorial Opinion
Time to put your money where your heart is
An upcoming economic development webinar for local small business owners endorses the potential for small business to be a major economic driving force in their community. Forward-thinking members of Ignite (a small business accelerator group under the Community Futures umbrella) include Gibsons Councillor, entrepreneur and economic development innovator Charlene SanJenko. SanJenko agrees with webinar presenters’ analysis, found online, that “communities with a high percentage of locallyowned businesses have greater wealth, higher voter turnout, better health outcomes and more jobs.” Resist the urge to say “well, duh!” Long-time Coast residents know that area businesses support our food banks, schools, sports teams, arts groups and hospital with generous donations of time, money and material. Question is: are we supporting them in turn? That reciprocal support is part of building a healthy economy and a healthy community. A standout anecdote concerns a group who approached a local grocer for support. The businessman provided a generous cheque, and the following day met the group aboard the ferry – happily reporting they were on their way to Costco to purchase food for their event with his donation because “it’s so much cheaper there!” Point taken. Local suppliers’ prices may be higher than the city businesses, given that their costs, taxes and fees may be equal to or higher than those paid by their big-city-based competitors. And some Coast businesses are not above taking advantage of a killer view to charge a walloping $11 for a four-ounce glass of wine or cocktail. (One former restaurant owner said this was policy, “to keep out the riff raff.” I never went back, so it worked for me.) Additionally, one cannot help wondering about the reasoning behind prices at the Coastal gas pump. With Metro Vancouver residents subject to an additional 16 cents per liter in taxes, one wonders if the cost to barge the stuff from Port Moody to the Coast and offload it at Port Mellon into tankers for delivery to Gibsons, Sechelt and Kleindale really accounts for that price difference. But point given: local businesses provide a ‘cut’ from their income to support, directly, Coast non-profits. City businesses give our community nothing – rien – nada – zip – zero – zilch. They don’t even provide real savings to the individual shopper, when one factors in cost of ferry, gas, wear and tear on nerves and vehicle, meals, impulse buys and so on. Local businesses respond to local need and demand and often display the creativity for which the Coast is famous. For example: Harbour Haus in Gibsons discovered a supplier of quality Canadian-designed and locally-manufactured bamboo knit clothing. The fabric itself is woven in Vancouver from chemical-free bamboo ‘juice’. She kept prices affordable, the product is outstanding – so where are the customers? Our communities need to get busy with a Victoria-style ‘Eat, Shop and Be Local’ campaign: Shop Coastal, perhaps. Instead of focusing on traditional economic development that focuses on non-local businesses, let’s look at an approach that creates an entrepreneurial ecosystem (like Ignite, on a larger scale). As they say in Victoria, “Put your money where your heart is.” Help our business owners, especially those operating one-of-a-kind shops and services that provide our Coastal character. Help sustain a vibrant community, keep money circulating on the Coast, and support your friends and neighbours. This is how we create collective prosperity, in partnership with those who truly care about our community. Take THAT, Costco. Heather Jeal, Contributing Writer
Letters to the Editor – Opinions Oops! Re: The Local, July 18 – ‘Rosenberg’s new novel’ Please! I see this mistake from time to time and it drives me up the wall – especially when I see it in a newspaper, as many people believe anything they see in print must be correct. A novel is a work of fiction – i.e. it is a made up story involving imaginary characters and situations. This word does not describe the sort of book Dr. Rosenberg has written. I hope I’m not the only person you hear from about this. I wouldn’t be surprised if Stacey Rosenberg herself corrects you, as nowhere in the article on page 19 is her book referred to as a ‘novel’, only in your front-page teaser. Anne Miles, Sunshine Coast
Oops, again Re: Sechelt approves $73,000 Grants in Aid, June 13, page 15 I am writing to you on behalf of the Sunshine Coast Senior Swim Team re: the above-noted article which states “A grant of $1,000 was approved for the Sunshine Coast Senior Swim Team to assist in team travel and for material to promote the team and Sunshine Coast at swim competitions off-Coast”. Indeed we received a grant but it was not for team travel. Every member of our team is solely responsible for
any expenses incurred during travel to and from swim meets. The last thing I want is for the Sechelt taxpayers to think that they are paying for that expense. Sechelt Council were explicit in explaining to us that any grant money that we received was to be used for a specific project. We do have a specific project and that was explained to the Council and formed the reason for the issuance of a grant. We are in the final throes of designing a banner. This banner, in addition to displaying the name “Sunshine Coast Senior Swim Team”, will proudly display the names of the three areas which we represent on the Coast viz. Sechelt, Gibsons and the SCRD. This banner will be hung at each swim meet that we attend and will also be displayed in the Sechelt Aquatic Centre when we are on the Coast. We also plan to have t-shirts and swim caps made with similar advertising. The primary purpose of the Sunshine Coast Senior Swim Team is to promote health, wellness, activity and fitness among the seniors on the Sunshine Coast, through the sport of swimming. The second purpose is to pro-actively promote each of our communities as vibrant, nurturing, caring and welcoming. This is attractive to businesses looking to relocate on the Coast
and also tourists. I would be most grateful if you would correct the error outlined above. Bruce McDonald, Sunshine Coast Editor’s Note: The information about the purpose for the Grant in Aid was provided to The Local in a press release from the District of Sechelt. We are pleased to set the record straight here.
Toastmasters need a home Dear Residents of Sechelt, Can you help an institution that has served Sechelt for 30 years? Sunshine Toastmasters needs your help! For many years, the Sechelt Library’s Community Use room was our professional-looking, acoustically perfect meeting room. Unfortunately, community groups are no longer allowed to use that room so we had to move. It has been a challenge to find a suitable replacement. We are looking for a space that is its equal or better so that we can continue to help adults (and teens through our Youth Leadership Program) serve the community Letters to the Editor and Submissions are welcome on any topic of local or general interest. Opinions expressed are those of the writers and do not reflect opinions of THE LOCAL publication. Generally letters should not exceed more
with confident voices and leadership skills! We need a room that will seat at least 40, theatre style. We also need a small storage space for a full sized lectern and a three-drawer filing cabinet (which is our resource library for members). Kitchen facilities would also be ideal as we like to have occasional potluck parties after meetings. We also need water for making weekly toasts. We are a non-profit so we don’t have wads of money to spend but we can definitely meet a reasonable rent. Last but not least, we need this space to be in the Sechelt area for Monday nights beginning September 9. Please contact me, Paula Howley at 604-883-3618 or visit our website at 5403. toastmastersclubs.org We know that a great new home awaits Sunshine Toastmasters and that the amazing community of Sechelt will be the ones to help us find it!

Story Theatre troupe provides travelling show Popping up at craft fairs, community markets, festivals and other events, the Driftwood Story Theatre troupe provides free, family-friendly street theatre with panache.
HEATHER JEAL
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Almost weekly throughout the summer months, the members of the Driftwood Story Theatre troupe – volunteer actors, musicians and stage crew – load up the Blackberry Shop’s van and head out to perform originally-scripted twists on familiar fables. Each half-hour performance includes a number of short sketches designed to hold the interest of everyone from toddlers to seniors. With minimal costumes, sets or backdrops, Story Theatre performs up to five skits in 30 minutes. It would be grueling if it weren’t so much fun. This year, the team will enact classics like The Frog
Prince, The Tortoise and the Hare, Robin Hood, The North Wind and the Sun, and The Dog and His Shadow. Typically, the troupe calls for volunteers in April,
with a free two-day workshop. May and June are devoted to rehearsals, with performances being scheduled from late June to early September. While it is a long season, maintaining fun and flexibility for the troupe is the bottom line. Story Theatre encourages Sunshine Coasters, young and old, to get involved in street theatre. Whether as audience, writer or actor, Story Theatre offers a creative outlet in the community. to Please contact Radhika Samwald at radhikabowering@hotmail.com if you’d like to register, or if you have any questions about the upcoming season.

Global phenomenon PechaKucha Night returns to lower Gibsons Julyon25,Friday, 2013 August 2 at Gibsons Public Art Gallery, kicking off a month of events coinciding with GPAG’s upcoming exhibit, Action. Gibsons is one of the smallest of over 650 cities around the world producing PechaKucha Nights. As organizer Wendy Crumpler says, “We’re small but we’re talented.” At a PechaKucha Night (PKN) members of the community are the stars of the show. Presenters display 20 slides for exactly 20 seconds each. Within this restrictive format, the breadth of topics is breathtaking. You might laugh, cry, ponder or be amazed, but you will most certainly be entertained. August’s presenters include: Jack
Stein, Bill Baker, Sheila Cameron, Sarama, Lou Guest, Anna Banana, Teryl Mullock, Susan Rule, Kevin Broome, and four audience volunteers for the improvised PKN Mix. PechaKucha Night is cosponsored by The Arts Building which hosted six sold out PKNs in the past two years. Live music, a cash bar and refreshments round out the evening. Spend a hot summer night with cool friends on Friday, August 2 at the Gallery, 431 Marine Drive, Gibsons. Doors open at 7 pm with music at 7:15, presentations at 8. Only 100 tickets will be available at the door: $15 adults, $5 children under 12. Please arrive early—these events always sell out. Submitted

Sea sprint’s powerful paddles Astronomical events in August Stargazing
Paddlers in training practice near Gibsons Harbour under overcast skies. Weather for the Shoal Channel Sea Sprint on July 28 is expected to be clear, hot and sunny – a great day to be on the water. PHOTO SUBMITTED How powerful is your paddle? Spirit of Aloha Racing (SOAR), in partnership with Sea Cavalcade, will host the Shoal Channel Sea Sprint, an exciting new paddle race for adults and kids on July 28, right after the Keats Island Swim. The race is open to sea kayaks, canoes, OC-1, OC-
2, and surfski, and runs from Armours Beach to Soames Point and back. Awesome prizes will be awarded in each boat category and age class. All competitors must supply their own boat, paddle, personal flotation device, bailing device, and throw rope. These can be rented from Sunshine
Kayaking in Molly’s Lane (604.886.9760), which is just a few minutes’ paddle from the start line. See map, page 9, for directions. For more details, and to register for the race, visit www.soarpaddleclub.ca or visit Sunshine Kayaking in person. Submitted
The Sunshine Coast Astronomy Club is involved in a number events August 15 - 17. On Thursday, August 15, solar telescopes will be set up at the Sechelt Night Market for observing the Sun in the early evening. The next night, Friday, members welcome anyone with an interest in astronomy to join them for coffee and chat at the club’s Astro-café at Pier 17 in Davis Bay starting at 8:30pm. Weather permitting, telescopes will be set up by the sea-wall at Davis Bay just after sunset to do some observing. On Saturday, August 17 the club will be at Porpoise Bay for Astronomy-in-the-Park, with solar observing in the afternoon followed by a presentation around 9pm focused on the Moon, in the park’s amphitheatre. Scopes will also be set up for observing the night sky, including the waxing and close-to-full Moon. August 3 has the waning crescent Moon located about 5 degrees southwest of Jupiter in the predawn sky. The next day the Moon will be approximately 5 degrees below Mars and 8 degrees above Mercury in the morning
twilight. The moon will be new at 2:51pm (all times are PDST) on August 6 and thus starting a fresh cycle of phases, as signalled by its absence. On August 9 the waxing crescent Moon will be about 5 degrees below Venus, low in the evening twilight just above the western horizon. Monday, August 12 will feature perhaps the best night sky show of the month, with the Perseid meteor shower set to peak. Though the maximum number of meteors is predicted to happen at 11am, the predawn hours on Monday or later that evening should feature a good number of ‘falling stars’. As was mentioned in the July column, the regular meteor showers seen throughout the year are respectively named for the constellation from where they appear to radiate. So a Perseid meteor can appear anywhere in the night sky but if you trace its path back it will appear to have come from Perseus, in the north-northeast, just below the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia. So find a quiet patch of open-sky away from artificial lighting, take a comfortable summer chair and enjoy the display. Moonlight won’t be interfering with the darkness of the sky since
the Moon will still be in its early waxing crescent phase, and setting just after 10pm, placed about 4 degrees below Saturn low in the westsouthwest. The Moon reaches the halfway point in its phase cycle, becoming full at 6:45pm on August 20. Neptune, the furthest planet from the Sun, reaches opposition at about 7pm on August 26. This means that as the Sun sets over the western horizon Neptune will be rising in the east-southeast. So if the Sun sets before our eyes, Neptune will rise from the opposite side, behind us. Neptune is faint, somewhat dimmer than the faintest stars visible to normal human vision, but for any planet observers out there it will be highest above the southern horizon at about 1:15am on August 27 not quite 30 degrees above due south. It seems only fitting that the planet named after the Roman god of the sea should be nestled in the constellation named Aquarius, the Latin term for “water bearer”. Anyone interested in local astronomy activities is invited to please visit the Sunshine Coast Astronomy Club website at www.CoastAstronomy.ca . Submitted by Scott Harlow

Plan for drought-resistant gardens HEATHER JEAL
Soaring temperatures and water restrictions are a challenge for backyard gardeners
With temperatures soaring and water restrictions an annual reality, home gardeners can plan their gardens to reduce the need for irrigation and time-consuming maintenance. Building soil that retains moisture and choosing plants that can survive in current conditions are key to reducing water consumption. Soil is where the magic happens. The more clay that’s present in the soil, the more water-holding capacity and nutrient-holding capacity it will have. Much of the Coast already has a strong clay component to the soil, and this compacts into a hard mass unless it is well-tilled. Tilling improves the soil, allowing plants’ roots to reach out into the air pockets – essentially, the ‘pores’ of the soil’s skin – and absorb the moisture being held in the clay component. Mulching slows evaporation of water from the surface, holding it down near the plant roots. A thick layer of mulch (three
to four inches) also reduces weed growth. Wood chips, gravel, straw, or tumbled glass ‘sand’ are all excellent mulching options. Plants need moisture and nutrients, and most of these can come from applying a layer of compost under the mulch. Avoid the temptation to over-fertilize during the growing season; fertilizer is not plant medicine, it is an enhancement to the growing medium. Plants should be getting their food from the soil, not from supplements (just as a person should get their nutrients from food on the table, not pills in a jar). Plants don’t need nearly as much as we think they do, and they will tell you when they are hungry or thirsty - they will wilt. It’s called the temporary wilting point, and it’s a normal reaction. Add liberal amounts of water, and that plant will perk right back up the next day. Of course, if you allow a plant to go too far in the wilting pro-

cess, it moves beyond the temporary to the permanent wilting point. That means, it’s dead. Therefore, understand the plant’s needs by watching and watering only when needed. Native plants are less likely to wilt in current conditions than imported exotics. Typically, both types are grown in nurseries, but natives specific to the Coast region are more used to local weather and soil. These plants stand a better chance under drought conditions. Larger plants, because they create shade, can help to nurse other smaller plants. Choose small to medium deciduous trees to create attractive pockets of shade and cool the garden area. As water becomes more precious (with metering now being considered for the whole Coast, all gardeners are becoming more aware of conservation) planning the garden to become less reliant on over-irrigation is key to conserving water – and our own energy.

Concrete a foundation for interior design CONTRIBUTING WRITER
With recent innovative developments in its formulation, concrete has moved into the forefront of interior design. Eco-friendly concrete’s fluid character lends itself to avant-garde and traditional designs that move beyond the foundation and compliment every room and every home. Low cost and easy maintenance polished and stamped concrete floors add a rich dimension to modern homes. A dark textured finish provides context for an area rug or tapestry carpet. Concrete professionals note that “polished” does not mean “shiny”. Once the concrete is tinted to customer specification, surfaces may be buffed to a matte glow, textured, or polished to a high gloss according to individual taste or the demands of the project. A coat of high-performance sealant ensures the end product is hypo allergenic, stain resistant and easy to clean. Outdoors, stamped and textured concrete give the

Polished custom concrete countertops provide fluid design and a wide variety of finishes for a unique signature look in the home. PHOTO SUBMITTED look of a flagstone patio, walk or driveway at a fraction of the cost and give quick, cost-efficient curb appeal to any landscape. In the kitchen, poured concrete counters and sinks move from utilitarian to artistic components of the home’s most important room. Curved and seamless polished countertops are durable and hygienic. The sink can be poured as a seamless component of the counter, allowing for an interesting flow to the work surface. Like any stone-component countertop material, sealed concrete can be damaged by excess heat (leading to micro-cracks in the sealant ) or sharp objects. Use trivets and cutting boards to keep the
surface integrity (and avoid damaging knives). The mass of a concrete countertop, formed sink, tub or shower area brings warmth and permanence to a bathroom. Again, tint, texture and polish ensure the surface provides a glow and strong, clean line in an intimate setting. Concrete flows into a design, where it becomes a solid and substantial mass. A house’s normal settling process may result in hairline cracks forming in the surface. The resulting patina is part of the product’s character, providing texture as it ages. Modern concrete, custom-poured for each interior design element, delivers
a unique and timeless signature — turning a house into a home.

of modern chiropractic care. By manually adjusting of the vertebrae of the spine and other joints of the body chiropractors help relieve pain and restore normal functioning to the joints and supporting muscles and ligaments. The nervous system is the body’s information highway; its main conduit, the spinal cord, is protected by the bones of the spinal column. The nervous system radiates from the spinal column to carry messages from the brain to every corner of your body. Stress and strain on the vertebrae can put pressure on the in the Resou SCnerves Childcare affected area. That is why a problem with the spine can have far-reaching effects causing symptoms such as arm or leg pain. Work, accidents, sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, arthritis, household chores, even the stress of daily living can cause restricted movement, as July well18, 201 as painful joint and back problems. Even for those without painful symptoms, chiropractic care can help maintain healthy spine and joint function. Consider integrating a chiropractic treatment with massage therapy and an exercise program for overall improvement to body health: better posture, improved flexibility, and relief from joint and muscle aches.

Hot days, cool locally-made treats tempt HEATHER JEAL

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for….” gelato, sorbet or even oldfashioned ice cream. On the Coast, we love our healthy and locallymade frozen treats. In Roberts Creek, Batchworks dishes up cones, cups and pints of handmade gourmet sorbet and non-dairy nutbased ice cream from the little hut in the Gumboot Restaurant parking lot on weekends. Traci Stremlaw started the business three summers ago, just about the time she delivered her youngest child. “I saw a need for organic treats you felt good about giving to kids,” she said. Lighter than milk-based frozen desserts, dairy-free sorbet is made from fruit purees. Sorbets are a denser, more richly flavoured product with the added health benefit of being lactose free and lower in fat than ice cream. Batchworks ‘ice cream’ is also lactose free, either coconut-based or made from their own nut milk. Warning: commercial sherbet/sorbets available in supermarkets may contain milk products; read the labels carefully. When Mike’s Place in Gibson’s Landing first began making gelato inhouse, they quickly became a hot-weather destination for families hungry for the wide variety of lighter, fresh-fruit based Italian-style ice cream. With its growing popularity, Mike’s Gelato began

Gelato, a soft Italian-style ice cream containing little or no air, is made from milk, cream, sugar (which keeps it from freezing solid), fruit purees and other flavourings.

and flavourings. Many small grocery stores on the Coast sell ice cream cones – with or without sprinkles, sometimes with a bit of maraschino cherry on top. When calories are not a worry, go for the sprinkles at the Village Store in Gibsons Landing, or the cherry at Roberts Creek General Store. That ice cream cone – or gelato, or sorbet – is a modern step that began in ancient Rome, or perhaps Egypt or Sicily. Each of these cultures developed iced desserts from snow brought down from mountaintops and preserved below ground and the sensation spread quickly. A favourite of the Medici court in medieval Florence, the frozen dessert’s popularity spread to the ‘common people’ after a Sicilian fisherman (Franceso Procopio dei Coltelli) developed the first ice cream machine in 1686. In the last century, ice cream parlours, gelato wagons, home freezers and the musical ice cream trucks raised ice cream from an occasional special-occasion treat to a dessert staple. But it’s still a treat to go out for ice cream. Or gelato. Or sorbet. Make mine tangerine.

These are linked to increased exposure, responsibility and opportunity. You must be willing to pay your dues and invest as necessary. In the short term, quality time shared with friends new and old will be the warm sun drying up any lingering puddles from yesteryear. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) The time has come to advance your position. This includes getting the attention you want, need, have earned and feel you deserve. Approaching authority figures to facilitate this process would be ideal. This is your window so do not wait. Even by simply activating a process you will be on track and in tune with your time. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) A process of completion and closure continues yet the main thrust of it has entered the next phase. The good news is that these endings are also bringing rewards, perhaps unexpected ones. Look upon the overall process as an important graduation process. Imagine if things did not change and there was no such thing as graduation! Accept, trust and celebrate this flow. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) The time has come clear the old to make way for the new. Whether by choice or circumstances beyond your control, you are experiencing something of a changing of the guard. The good news is that this is increasing your overall exposure; hopefully you want this to happen. That this is shaking things up deep within you and close to home is part of the deal. Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) An activation of new associations, friendships and deeper relationships too is underway. This may be causing your confidence to waver. Aim to establish new foundations and fortify old ones. From this platform your confidence to expand your outreach will increase. Awakening to new modes of perception, to recognize alternative approaches, is a golden key. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) You have embarked upon a special and important creative curve. It is leading you to consider new values, priorities and possibilities. There is some measure of diversity implied so avoid single-minded approaches or singular projects. The other challenge however will be to advance each of these in equal measure. Be willing to do the rounds to advance on all fronts!

OBITUARIES In loving memory of
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the loss of a beloved father and grandfather, Knut Erling Solli. He passed away peacefully at St. Mary’s Hospital on July 16, at the age of 73. Knut was born in Norway on June 23, 1940. He fathered three children with his first wife Lauralee. Then he welcomed Erlinda his second wife and her youngest son Rodel to his life. Knut served in the Norwegian Army and later became a cabinetmaker. His favorite profession was fishing. He always enjoyed being out on the sea. Knut is predeceased by Lauralee, Erlinda and his son Karl Earl Solli. He is survived by daughters Karen McGee and Ann-Marie Solli. He has three grandchildren Delany, Emily and Lucas. A celebration of life will be held at Calvary Chapel Sunshine Coast in Davis Bay on July 26th, 2013 at 1pm. Following the service there will be a reception and fellowship at Davis Bay Hall. Thank you to all the medical professionals that cared for our dad in his last days.
