rather than make a list of everything we liked.

For our 2012–15 plan, we have sets of objectives under the headings Student Achievement, Relationship-building and Learning Environments that already have achievable goals identified with many already underway.

Relationship-building is a key theme that has been expanded from our last plan that emphasizes joint use with the SCRD, relationships with the Sechelt and Squamish Nations, coordination with Capilano University, improved communications and encouragement of leadership in our schools, community use of facilities, budget consultation, board evaluation, and involvement in community planning and local social advocacy.

Learning Environments include welcoming facilities, action to address over-crowding, neighbourhood schools, safety for all students, emergency preparedness, employee

wellness, energy/carbon consumption, the development of an international program, and the rebuild of Gibsons Elementary.

And under Student Achievement our goals are public accessibility of our Achievement Contract, expansion of Career and Apprenticeship programs, continued support for Early Learning, a measured approach to technology, identification of outdoor/environmental learning opportunities in our schools and community, a positive atmosphere for idea-sharing, professional growth planning, a student-focused budget model review, and celebration of achievements.

We are welcoming more input to this draft plan under the heading of Feedback Requested on Draft Strategic Plan on the front page of our website: www. sd46.bc.ca.

Joni Mitchell shines at Ruby

I

t was a gorgeous warm evening last Saturday and many lucky fans enjoyed a wonderful night of dining, film, stories and autographs with none other than Joni Mitchell.

Although Mitchell has remained low key for a number of years, preferring the quiet life instead of the

spotlight, she graced the audience with her attendance at Ruby Lake Resort for a very special night.

The evening was sold out before most people knew it was happening. Local fans were joined by people who had flown in from England, the USA, and beyond, specifically for the event. The air

was electric as people slowly filled the restaurant.

After a delicious meal of local and organic specialties prepared by Chef Aldo at the Ruby Lake Resort Trattoria, the crowd strolled out under the brilliant autumn moon to watch Mitchell’s 1998 music video, Painting with Words, in a beautiful outdoor setting. As people relaxed and even cuddled while they watched the movie, the moon shown down and reminded both locals and visitors alike that this is a wonderful place.

After the show ended, a very happy crowd, almost giddy, had a chance to meet and share in a group photo opportunity with the incredibly talented and friendly Joni Mitchell.

he BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a male found deceased in a wooded area in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast.

Human remains were found on Aug. 28, 2012.

Additional remains were recovered during subsequent search efforts conducted on Sept. 5, 2012.

A post-mortem investigation, including DNA analysis, confirmed that the deceased was Sunshine Coast resident, Mr. Gregory Welstead.

Mr. Welstead was last seen alive leaving his resi-

dence on March 12, 2012.

A missing persons investigation was launched by the Sunshine Coast RCMP after his vehicle was found unoccupied and he failed to return home. It was determined that he died the same day or shortly thereafter. He was 56 years old at the time of his death.

Sunshine Coast RCMP have ruled out foul play.

Editorial Opinion Trust in others is not always easy, but one must always try

A

s fall sets in and the leaves begin to change colour, you can walk along any beach on The Coast and the scenery seems to unfold like an Ansell Adams photo. Instantly visible are the wind blown ocean shores, the rocky mountain tops, and a bald eagle or two playing around in the salty breeze.

We take this beauty for granted, because we trust that it will be there. Whether you’d like to go for a soul searching walk, or even just a lunch time shuffle down the beach, each of us has gained a level of trust that the universe will provide.

The same way you know the sun will rise tomorrow.

This level of trust is important, or life would be very confusing. Imagine wondering if your favourite beach will be there tomorrow - aside from the fact that the ice-caps are melting and that they could very well get flooded someday.

Anyhow, people have gained this innate sense of trust in the universe, but they don’t always trust each other, and for good reason. It is usually ego, greed, or a simple lack of communication that can get in the way and lead to everything from minor squabbles to full scale wars between nations.

So how do you decide if you can trust someone? Ernest Hemingway says: The best way to find out if you can trust somebody, is to trust them. The problem with that Ernest, is that it’s too late once you’ve figured it out.

Overall, people need to rely on one another. Since the beginning of time, this has been humans greatest strength.

Jesus, Budhha, and all the great divine beings would seem to agree, and have based their teachings on honesty - as the foundation of trust. Without this, then deceit, pretense and facade take over and destroy what good has been created.

Many years ago, I stood and watched Maritime fishermen (and women) as they sailed out into the cold rugged North Atlantic seas around 4 a.m., in their little fishing vessels.

They were tossed around in the dark surf and each and every one of them would put their lives at risk for each other. One wrong turn of the wheel, or even just a poorly tied knot and young Danny Boy could be thrown overboard, never to be seen again. Talk about trustworthy individuals.

Then there were those paramedics, who due to the calamity and size of the catastrophe, had to teach festival attendees to make some quick life saving decisions. They relied on their support to help rescue hundreds of people who were trapped and being crushed under a fallen building, just outside St. Louis, Missouri.

Closer to home, there were some young Sunshine Coast athletes, who after bonding for a year, travelled up to a hockey tournament in Powell River where the competition was so stiff that winning even one game seemed near impossible. These young boys and girls used their faith in one another over their speed to out perform their opponents. They even brought home gold medals as a testament to their incredible ability to work together.

Although tales of life, death and gold medals can easily demonstrate the need to be trustworthy, it is just as important in your everyday life. Honesty will always bring happiness to you and those around you. Trust is a trickier thing to offer up, but just as important. With it, business will flourish and you will always be able to walk tall, shoulders back and with a big smile on your face.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Water Shortages

Electric or more gas?

With the recent escalation in Sechelt to stage 3 water restrictions, it has occurred to me that our limited water supply is a serious problem that will only become worse.

Development is going ahead full speed and council has wonderful plans to grow the community to attract new residents or keep existing families on the coast.

The local news prints regular stories detailing plans to improve sewer systems, paving of roads, and numerous other projects such as hotels and airport expansion. I have rarely read about any plans to expand our fresh water system.

The reality is that due to prolonged warm weather we are reaching dangerously low levels in the reservoir.

How long will our water last when the new condo buildings, and the plethora of vacant new homes all become occupied with thirsty residents?

Humans require fresh water first and foremost for survival. In my opinion the District has misplaced priorities. For most of the year, we watch precious water run down streams and into the ocean. The District needs to make upgrading our fresh water capacity priority one or we may all be drinking sewer water sooner than we know.

Mike Adams, Sechelt

Questions must be asked; if we are to bear the cost of installing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations here on the Coast, why has the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) just purchased five petroleum fired 2012 vehicles?

Some research by management would have revealed that the manufacturing industry feels that V-8’s are on the way out, so why did the SCRD purchase any?

If Jaguar, BMW, Audi, and Lexus can no longer afford to build V-8 cars (at least, in large numbers, as mass-market models), then it’s a dead certainty GM, Ford and Chrysler won’t be able to, either, www.carad vice.com.au/188963/infini ti-nissan-v8-engines-way/ Doesn’t it make you wonder who is providing advice to our elected officials, and who is looking after the public purse?

Vel Anderson, Gibsons

Representation for the Coast Mr. John Weston and your compatriot Conservative MP’s: I have a question that many of us have been pondering for some time now.

When did you and your fellow Conservative MPs decide to stop represent-

ing your constituents to the government and just start representing Harper, to us?

You have shown, in your actions (non actions) and non verbal communication, that we the people, who you deem to represent, have been shunned by you and let go of, to do our own work to have our voices heard by the Harper government in Ottawa.

You have put us in the precarious position of having to have our voices heard by other means. I do hope you are listening. If not, you are truly becoming a hasbeen to us.

front marine hotel, convention centre, restaurant, spa and condominiums.

Construction would be consistent with the objectives of the OCP and aim for LEED Gold building standards.

Klaus Fuerniss is the man to launch the project. He has world-class experience and knowledge in the hospitality, hotel and convention industry. He is a long-time resident, an exceedingly generous supporter of town initiatives and is ready to commit to a visionary undertaking.

The George can be regarded as a coming-of-age symbol for The Town of Gibsons, taking us into the real time of the 21st century, and providing a new story to replace the laurels we have clung to for decades.

Let’s avoid the shambles and collective shame that residents felt from the fallout of the thwarted Shoal Bay Project. Let’s see this proposal as a gift. Let’s make the choice to grow up – not grow old!

I’m leaving the closing comment to Shakespeare’s Brutus. His words still ring powerful and relevant to the discussion afoot in the Town of Gibsons.

“On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the

“There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune...” Brutus speaking to Cassius in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar Gibsons is at a crossroad – facing the choice of remaining a charming beachcombing town or evolving into a town – strong and unique enough - to keep residents and young folk happy and here.

At an Open House on September 8, Klaus Fuerniss and his development team unveiled their plans for The George. They proposed a new project offering the town an ocean- (Letters continued on page 5)

More accountability, less ‘electrosmog’ I fully support water metering to conserve and better manage our precious water resources. However, I do not support the use of wireless technology to transmit the water use data. Our everyday lives are becoming more and more bombarded by electrosmog: cell phones, wireless internet, BC Hydro Smart Meters, and now utilities.

After researching studies from all sides of the debate, it is clear that we still do not know the long term, cumulative health effects of these forms of radiation, especially on infants and children, whose cells are multiplying quickly. These are our future generations. There are indications of possible adverse effects, and we should be taking measures to avoid these risks.

I urge our local government to reconsider the use of wireless technology for water metering. Alternative wired solutions do exist, and are known to be reliable and cost effective. To not give citizens a choice on matters that could affect our health in and around our own homes is not democratic.

faces of Shelley McDade, CEO, Sunshine Coast Credit Union, and Ron Pepper, Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity at Sunshine Coast Village was a perfect illustration of brilliant cooperation” said Deb Pepper, Public Relations Chair at Habitat for Humanity.

With the generous and exclusive sponsorship of Sunshine Coast Credit Union, Habitat is now getting ready for their grand opening of Sunshine Coast Village in Wilson Creek on September 30, and a new beginning for Habitat families.

The grand opening will

kick off with the very popular Bad to the Bow fiddlers and wind up with an hourlong performance by the spirited Billy Hillpickers bluegrass band.

There will be home tours, food trucks, balloons and entertainment for the children, along with welcome messages conveyed by District of Sechelt Mayor John Henderson and other special guests. MarketPlace IGA, Wilson Creek, has generously offered to provide free cake for everyone.

It is also a celebration of the dedication and loyalty of everyone who has helped in the site development, roads and services, and construction over the last five years.

There are a lot of generous and skilled people on the Coast who have made significant contributions, such as School District #46 ACEIT program, the Telus Ambassadors, Sechelt Plumbing, Wheeler Electric, Ross Concrete, Custom Carpets, Longman Developments, Lon’s Contracting and Crane Services, the Sunshine Coast Builders’ Association, Rona Madeira Park, Gibsons Building Supplies, Kenan MacKenzie and so many more. Also in atten-

dance will be representatives from previous sponsors and supporters such as the Royal Bank, Industrial-Alliance, Genworth Financial, Delta Hotels and BMO. Sunshine Coast Credit Union’s CEO Shelly McDade says it best: “This is an amazing example of the ripple effect at work in our community once again – people coming together to make good things happen.

The Coast is home to so many generous individu-

als and businesses giving the gift of time, donations of funds or supplying materials. We’re very proud to be a part of this ripple and look forward to celebrating with Habitat at its grand opening of Sunshine Coast Village.”

Habitat for Humanity built it’s first home on the Sunshine Coast in 2007.

This latest development has 7 duplexes. Although the first 2 are complete, there is a growing need to support

Habitat with it’s future endeavours, as they have experienced funding cuts over the last year. Donations would be greatly appreciated. You can also volunteer as a skilled worker on site, or help by putting in some time at the ReStore, So come out with your family and friends and enjoy being a part of this momentous Habitat celebration on Sunday, September 30, from 12 Noon to 3:00 p.m.

your ideas, visions and plans down to earth and to share them with the world.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) Some major new initiatives are brewing in the back of your mind. Your ambitions are on the rise.

You are preparing to launch your plans. Tapping the talents and resources of others remains likely and ideal.

Your willingness to make key investments may be necessary for success. Paying off old debts may also be required. Do what you must to truly succeed.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) With Saturn poised to enter your sign this week everyone will feel the shift, especially you. Expect a sober, serious and determined mood that has been gestating to come to the fore. It may take until the next Full Moon to fully reveal itself, but it will. Already your focus is getting sharper and you may feel the urge to make a few cuts to break free.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) Approaching authority figures for favours, earned rewards and/or promotions is a current theme. If you feel the urge to do so, but have not yet, then this is your reminder. Socializing with others to share and exchange ideas, visions and philosophies is featured. The time has come to make some key changes in your lifestyle. Make your health a priority.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) Seeing a bigger picture somehow has emerged in your life. It is likely that you have reached peaks over the past few years but have also had to endure the pressures of high altitude. Now, it is time to receive the rewards of your efforts. Hopefully, you have been diligent and integral. The quality of your efforts is soon to be revealed.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) Some rather deep changes are brewing. These are linked to new knowledge, instruction and/or training.

AJ Pumps Sudoku A patient, humble and dili-1039 gent attitude and approach is key to your success. All true rewards are earned. A deserving attitude can be healthy, yet feeling entitled without due diligence often leads to problems. Exercise a beginners mind.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) Sept. 27, 2012 Some important new beginnings in your relationship life have been seeded. Your personal, professional and social spheres are all being activated. Success requires that you take a more creative and refined approach than you have previously. Diversifying your approach somehow is ideal. Identify your spectrum of talents and opportunities.

Our Milky Way galaxy: a traveller’s guide to the stars A

Stargazing

fter all the solar system activity of the spring– conjunctions, eclipses and transits – the autumn sky offers more sedate views of our own Milky Way galaxy. Uranus and Neptune present distant planet hunting opportunities. For those seeking asteroids, there’s Pallas.

The best views of Jupiter

and Venus are in the southeastern early morning sky.

Looking to the east, at dawn on October 3, Venus will pass by Leo’s brightest star, Regulus creating a temporary double star.

Uranus and asteroid Pallas can be found low in the southern sky. Uranus, a faint greenish dot, will travel below Pisces, and below Uranus, the asteroid Pallas can be seen.

Neptune is a distinct blue

colour, located adjacent to Aquarius below 38 Aquarii and appears stationary in October due to its retrograde motion.

Mars can be viewed in the low southwest sky, with binoculars aimed toward Antares in Scorpius. Just before dawn on October 18 is the ideal time to catch a glimpse of Mars before it sinks below the horizon.

The highlight of this season is the expansive view

of the Milky Way with best viewing during the new moon on October 15. The Milky Way has something for every observer; from arm-chair gazing, to powerful telescopes. But the best experience is too simply scan the Milky Way using a pair of binoculars.

The Royal Astronomical Society AGM is Friday, October 12, at 7:30 p.m. at the Sunshine Coast Arts Center in Sechelt.

Feeling pie-eyed at the luncheon SKOOKUM Dear Darla Dear Darla, I recently hosted a ladiesonly luncheon. We try to do this every month. Our custom is for the host to bake something, which I did. I pulled out my world’s best apple pie recipe handed down from my grandmother. It was a real hit and the luncheon went fine with everyone having a great time.

The problem is that one of the ladies (let’s call her ‘Gwen’) saw the recipe for my apple pie on a side counter and copied it. I know because I caught her in the act! I diplomatically approached Gwen later at the luncheon and asked her

what she had been writing down in my kitchen and she said something like, “Oh, I just remembered a job I wanted to give my husband, and wrote it down so I wouldn’t forget.”

I believe she is lying, but I don’t know what to do.

Should I tell the other ladies about what I suspect, or should I forget about it?

And what if she uses the recipe and claims it as her own? That would really irk me! This whole fan-dangle is actually keeping me up at night.

Apple Pie Annie Dear Apple Annie, Coming from a long line of recipe sharers, it’s difficult for me to truly wrap my head around your dilemma. Instead, let’s look at the alternate problem of feeling that someone may have stepped past a privacy

boundary in the form of recipe thievery. There are a couple of scenarios to consider. You could actually insist on seeing the contents of her purse. Assault charges aside, what if you were to find nothing more than a note to Horace, insisting that he fix that damn leaky faucet, already! Alternatively, you may actually find the recipe that would cause embarrassment to the woman and uncomfortable feelings all around. Really, is it worth it?

I think you’re going to have to take the high road here and turn the other hot buttered bun. Of course, the next time the county fair rolls around and they’re handing out the ribbons… get next to her pastry offerings and keep your eye on the pies.

But hey! That’s just my opinion.

cience-fiction, especially humans versus aliens movies, are a huge moneymaker in Hollywood these days. They seem to have splashy special affects, but little wit or soul. Not so for Attack the Block and Chronicle. Both use low budgets, new directors and a considerable amount of genius to produce engaging, socially conscious stories.

Attack the Block is set in working-class South London where aggressive, newly-landed aliens encounter equally angry teen gangs and thugs. The director manages to build an exciting, often funny story with scary/cool aliens and remarkable anti-heroes without diminishing the

message about the follies of gang life. It’s full of great music too.

Chronicle examines what could happen if a superpower, in this case telekinesis, was given to three average high-school seniors. Set in Seattle this film mixes action, humour and drama successfully with an underpinning of social commentary. For those who already love sci-fi or for those who often justifiably dismiss it as trivial, we like this one.
