“We keep it dry”
It is crunch time for people campaigning to save the “Clack Creek Forest”, a 27-hectare patch on Mount Elphinstone above Roberts Creek. The end of April is the deadline for logging contractors to submit bids to BC Timber Sales, and after that the area could be logged any time. While the province has agreed, with the shíshálh Nation, to create a Modern Land Use Plan in the area, the Clack Creek Forest has been excluded from that process because it was already mapped as a timber block. Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) says it would be tragic to log this area on the eve of a land use planning process, particularly since the Clack Creek Forest connects two of the three existing “islands” in Mt. Elphinstone Provincial Park. ELF has filed for a judicial review of the importance of this area. That legal action could take months to get a court date, and ELF spokesman Ross Muirhead said if a judge granted a review, that could force a stop to any logging that had started. In the meantime, ELF has built a trail into the Clack Creek Forest and has been leading hikes so people can see what is at stake. On April 14 (above) about 60 people walked the area.

Cops training for the Tour de Coast Sunshine Coast detachment RCMP officers Dustin Shevchenko and Chris Mager are in the midst of training for the Tour de Coast. This 800-kilometre cycling tour raises awareness of the challenges faced by children battling cancer and their families. The riders, with an impressive escort team of officers on motorcycles from the Vancouver Police Department, will be travelling from Langdale to Madeira Park on Sept. 19. There will be opportunities for the public to meet and speak with the riders in Sechelt at the local detachment on that day. The team will also be visiting a number of Coast elementary schools. The ride will take these two Coast participants, and 33 other first responders, through the Lower Mainland, the Sunshine Coast, and up the Sea to Sky Highway. The tour starts Sept. 18 in the False Creek area and takes nine days to complete. Each rider is required to raise at least $6,000 to take part in the event. Funds
raised by the tour benefit Camp Goodtimes near Maple Ridge. This facility offers the summer camp experience to children who are undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. As a parent and someone who previously worked in a youth camp, Mager believes that going to camp is something that no child should miss. “These are great opportunities where children can grow and learn so much,” Mager said. “It’s an experience that never really leaves you. The big draw to the ride for me is knowing that kids who are going through something that is almost too difficult for adults to handle have a chance to just be kids and have fun at camp.” This is Shevchenko’s second time on the ride. “I feel so lucky that I can participate in something like this to help an amazing place like Camp Goodtimes,” said Shevchenko. He said one of the most powerful moments in his previous tour was a visit to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. The riders were
greeted by one of the junior tour members, a child who was at the hospital undergoing treatment. Shevchenko said the mood of the riding group was uplifted as they saw the young patient smile and clap despite being connected to oxygen and medication tubes. In previous years, the Coast’s annual Red Serge Gala has been the major fundraising event for local tour riders. This year, more community-based events will be held. Mager and Shevchenko are planning appearances at community events and local shopping locations to both raise funds and the profile of the ride. On June 7, 1-4pm, there will be a “Jail and Bail” event outside the Sechelt Detachment. This is an opportunity for the public to have others subject to a mock arrest and imprisonment. Detainees must remain in jail until they can raise “bail money” which is donated to the cause. Connie Jordison

Age-friendly trail guide The District of Sechelt, the Town of Gibsons and the Sunshine Coast Regional District have partnered in the release of a user-friendly trail guide. This joint project was funded by the Age Friendly BC and UBCM, 2018 Age-Friendly Communities Grant Program. This joint project provides information on trails that are the flattest and easiest to nav-
igate for those with mobility challenges. Information on each trail including photos, amenities and elevation profile are included in the guide. Those details are presented in such a way in the guide that users are able to make decisions for themselves as to which trails are best suited for them depending on their own physical limitations.
The guide will be shared on each of the municipality’s websites as well as the Sunshine Coast Tourism website. A financial contribution from each municipality and Sunshine Coast Tourism will allow for a small number of guides to be printed and made available at the Gibsons and Sechelt Visitor Information Centres. Submitted
Baseball diamond upgrade The southwest baseball diamond in Hackett Park will close the week of April 22 for a month to six weeks due to upgrades to the diamond. The diamond is located at the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Dolphin Street. As a result of public safety concerns from balls being thrown or hit out of the park, the men’s fastball league was moved to Kinnikinnick
Park for the 2018 season. The league applied for and received a grant for $50,000 from the District of Sechelt’s Community Forest Legacy funds to replace the backstop at Hackett Park to mitigate the risk. The Sunshine Coast Fastball league is managing the project and awarded the contract to Evergreen Landscaping. Central Coast Concrete will be providing the
concrete as a donation to the project. The new backstop will be 16 feet high with an over-hang, and extend to the first and third baselines. This will reduce the risk of balls leaving the playfield. The northeast baseball diamond and playinfg field will remain open during construction. No teams will be displaced during construction. Submitted

Editorial Opinion
Weekly Cartoon
A lesson from Russia It’s heartening, in the midst of the human-caused sixth mass extinction, to find good wildlife recovery news. As plant and animal species disappear faster than they have for millions of years, Russia’s Siberian, or Amur, tigers are making a comeback. After falling to a low of just a few dozen in the mid-20th century, the tigers now number around 500, with close to 100 cubs – thanks to conservation measures that include habitat restoration and an illegal hunting crackdown. It shows the value of sound policies and regulations to protect wildlife. But as an article in the journal “Marine Policy” states, “Evidence of an environmental conservation problem is often not considered sufficient by government to warrant a change in the way human activities are managed until the problem becomes a societal crisis.” The authors recommend proactive, precautionary measures to protect at-risk species. These are rare in Canada. Even when species are pushed to the brink, governments continue to stall. That’s true for boreal woodland caribou – 37 of Canada’s 51 boreal caribou herds have been deemed unlikely to survive under current forest-management practices. In 2012, after a federal science advisory panel examined how much caribou range must be kept undisturbed for the animals to survive, the federal government gave provinces and territories five years to develop range plans that afforded caribou a minimum 60-per-cent chance of survival. None did. In the past year, two of BC’s caribou populations died out. With governments touting what they’ll do in the future while perpetually dragging their feet, the David Suzuki Foundation has had to resort to legal recourse – as it did in 2010 on behalf of the right whale, using scientific evidence to show it needed a broader habitat definition. The Foundation has also worked for 15 years to protect and recover southern resident killer whales, or Salish Sea orcas, near Vancouver. We’ve gone to court four times to get government to define critical habitat, complete recovery plans and issue an emergency order to protect the whales. Earlier this year, the Foundation partnered with two conservation organizations and two First Nations to ensure the federal environment and climate change minister fulfils her legal responsibility to protect five boreal caribou herds in Alberta. Many wildlife populations in Canada are in peril. Is this regarded as a societal crisis? If not – if faced with leaving a vastly diminished world for future generations and losing species like orca and caribou is not seen as an urgent matter – why not? What will it take to make wildlife crises our own? With its iconic tigers, Russia has shown what can be accomplished with robust habitat and species conservation measures that prioritize at-risk wildlife. It’s a lesson Canada needs to learn.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Aquifer alert
Use your ashtray
(Addressed to the Gibsons mayor and copied to the Local) I am sorry to have missed the Town council meeting of April 16 when you made the proclamation that May would be water month in Gibsons. I would have like to have spoken to this proclamation as I did not see the word aquifer mentioned in the text. Am I missing something here? One of the reasons we in Gibsons feel so proud of our water is because we can drink uncontaminated, pure and untreated aquifer water. Should not this be the main thrust of the proclamation? My other question would be that if we truly hold our water in such high regard then why are we risking it? May I remind you that I asked the previous mayor and council and staff the same question before the final building permit was granted for the George. Since we apparently value our water, which means aquifer, then why are we not making the developer post a bond to protect our town in case of leeching contaminants or a puncture of the aquitard. Is this what you call good stewardship? I really feel this proclamation is not worth the paper it is written on because if we truly valued water we would not be building a huge, 120-foot hotel right on top of our aquifer. I hope you understand why this whole idea of a water proclamation in my opinion is just plain hypocritical because the town’s actions speak louder than its words. Judith Bonkoff, Gibsons
For the past couple of years, I have been growing increasingly alarmed at the number of cigarette butts being flicked out of the window and into our yard and forest along Sechelt Inlet Road. Surely, I need not remind residents and visitors on the Coast of the dangers of forest fires and the risk they are putting their neighbors in. And surely, I need not remind anyone how irresponsible, inconsiderate and disrespectful it is to throw your garbage in your neighbours’ yards and driveways. If you choose to smoke, please use your ashtrays. Shannon Rotundo, Sechelt
Problem smoke
With a recent complaint about someone who started their wood fire while children were playing in a nearby sports field, it feels like a good time to remind the community that they can send an email to wenotify@cleanaironthecoast. com including the address (with postal code and the burner’s name, if possible) telling us what type of burning is causing the issue and we will send out educational material. Unfortunately, the most polluting phase of a fire’s cycle is on startup when the chimney is cold. But there are ways to mitigate that. Ensure that damper is wide open and the wood is properly seasoned. Try building an “upside down fire” where the larger pieces are on the bottom with the kindling and a few newspaper knots on top. The flue heats more quickly to get the draft started and the fuel is also more stable and less likely to collapse and smother itself like in a traditional
set up. The “Neighbourly Notification Program” is just one campaign of the Clean Air Society. Since 2009 we have locally administered the wood stove exchange program. We have helped push for bylaws on cosmetic pesticide use, open (backyard and land clearing) burning, and smoking in public. In 2015 The 2 Degrees Institute was created with the Electric Car Pledge as the first campaign. The Clean Air Society will be having our annual general meeting on Sunday May 5, from 2-4 pm at Port Stalashen Clubhouse, 1585 Field Road, Wilson Creek. Membership is free and we welcome your involvement, either on the board of directors or as a volunteer and invite you to bring forward ideas that could lead to solid progress on air quality improvement for the Sunshine Coast and beyond.

Save hikers’ forest (Address to Forests Minister Doug Donaldson and copied to the Local) I am saddened by the fact that the Clack Creek block is being offered for logging bids. I have been living on the Sunshine Coast for the last 13 years and my main exercise and activity is hiking. I am not against logging as such but I must honestly say that I and our hiking group cannot hike for more than an hour without having to go through a clear-cut and sometimes spending considerable time in finding the trail on the other side. Non-hikers have very few low elevation forests left to see the beauty of our land and our forests. I am hoping that you will not put this
block up for sale. Jack Stein, Gibsons
Cynical to log now (Addressed to Forests Minister Doug Donaldson and Environment Minister George Heyman, and copied to the Local) We noted with dismay a notice that BC Timber Sales (BCTS) has advertised the timber of Clack Creek forest for sale and that thus Clack Creek Forest will clear-cut. We urge you to stop the sale of Clack Creek Forest from going ahead. The Clack Creek forest is part of the proposed Elphinstone Park expansion. A Modern Land Use Plan (MLUP) is in preparation. This MLUP has been initiated because serious concerns were raised about clear-cut logging of the Clack Creek Forest. Thus, it would be rather cynical of BCTS and the government if Clack Creek Forest is logged before the MLUP has been undertaken. Thus, Clack Creek Forest must not be sold before this MLUP has been done. The financial gain from harvesting Clack Creek Forest would furthermore be relatively low compared to the value this intact forest will bring over the years in tourism and outdoors attraction. Hermann and Susanne Ziltener, Gibsons

Support for new volunteer program The Community Resource Centre received the support of Sechelt council on April 17 to move the centre’s new Volunteer Sunshine Coast program closer to becoming a social enterprise. Such enterprises work on social challenges, such as poverty, gender equity and climate change, that are not being addressed by the private sector. Volunteer Sunshine Coast helps match area residents looking to volunteer with local non-profit groups in need. It also supports both groups with training and capacity building opportunities. The centre launched this program in January. It is applying to the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation (SCCF) for funds to create the business plan that will see this endeavor funded through partnerships rather than relying on grants. Of the $10,000 project cost, the SCCF is being asked to provide $7,000. The SCCF requires that
grant applicants have Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) charitable status. As the centre does not have this designation, the District of Sechelt will serve as the qualified recipient for the centre’s application. Sechelt has assisted the Centre with such applications in the past. This may not be required in the future. At the meeting, centre co-chair Pat Hunt outlined changes to the CRA’s guidelines that may mean the centre will be able to obtain charitable status in the coming years. To help develop the volunteer programing into a social enterprise, and to help other groups interested in this path, the centre will be hosting a workshop in mid-June. The event will feature guest presenters from “purppl”, a social enterprise accelerator based in Kelowna. On April 1, the centre moved into a new facility in Teredo Square, which they share with the FUSE commu-
nity work hub. The centre is also working on a two-year project with the Sunshine Coast Regional Economic Development Organization (SCREDO) on a community resource lab. This proposed new facility will offer the Coast a centralized location for social enterprises to work from, with shared support services and resources. These efforts are being funded with a grant of just over $84,000 from the BC Rural Dividend fund. “This is one exciting project and we are hoping it will be a signature project in the province,” said Hunt. She added that she hoped the Lab would open within three years, in time for her 80th birthday. In thanking Hunt for her presentation, Mayor Darnelda Siegers commented that she would like to know where she and her council colleagues could find Hunt’s level of energy and enthusiasm.

Police cleared in man’s death The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC has concluded its investigation into an incident in Sechelt on April 9. Sunshine Coast RCMP reported that police responded to a local bank regarding a suspected fraud in progress on April 9. Police arrived and
detained a male for investigative purposes. It is reported that the male then ran from police, who gave chase on foot. He was apprehended by police about 500 metres away but went into medical distress at that time. The male was given immediate medical attention by
www.screalestate.ca
police and a local doctor and nurse until BC Emergency Health Services arrived. The male was transported to the local Sunshine Coast hospital. He was pronounced deceased at 5:20pm. The IIO determined that officers were acting in the lawful execution of their duty in detaining the male for investigative purposes, but the male ran. All evidence supports that having exerted himself in running away, the male suffered medical distress and died as a result. Officers provided appropriate first aid immediately but were unable to prevent the death. The investigation, which included information from an autopsy, has demonstrated that there is no evidence of any injuries caused to the male, or that the action or inaction of officers was responsible for his death. Rather, he appears to have died as the result of natural causes. Submitted

An Update on BC Ferries’ Langdale Terminal Redevelopment Plan
@TheLocalWeekly
April 2019
Mika and her labradoodle Bauer.
Hello Sunshine Coast Residents, We want to keep you up-to-date as our team continues to move forward with the Langdale Terminal Development project. This month’s update looks at what we’re currently working on and what’s next for the project, and introduces you to a new face at BC Ferries. Please read below for more details.
What’s happening now We are currently working on materials selection, such as flooring, wall finishes, and so on for the new terminal building. We heard great feedback during our public engagement sessions and are looking to align our selections with what we heard regarding the use of natural materials and colour. We have now published the engagement summary report on our website. To see the report, visit the Langdale page at bcferries.com/about/terminal-development-planning. In April we also submitted a revised plan to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans that optimized our design so it minimizes the impact on the intertidal area around the lower holding compound. We significantly reduced the impact to the shoreline by redesigning a few foot passenger lanes to be more efficient in a smaller space.
What’s next We continue to work on construction details and planning, particularly looking at potential construction impacts and how to best mitigate them. We are working with the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD), BC Transit and other local stakeholders to identify impacts and how we can reduce them. We are on schedule and expect to start the preliminary stages of construction work at the terminal this summer. Stay tuned for more details, which we expect to be able to provide in my next update in May. As I mentioned in my last update, we’ve planned construction on the new overhead walkway and terminal building to start in the fall, and be complete within three years.
A new face at BC Ferries I’m excited to introduce you to Mika Desloges, our new Manager, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). BC Ferries’ CSR program, SeaForward, focuses on ways BC Ferries can give back to the communities we serve. Mika will let you know about BC Ferries’ environmental activities, conservation projects, community investments and sustainability endeavours. Mika’s background is in marketing and community leadership, and we are excited to have
her join us as we bring customers along our journey towards being better global citizens. Mika is working on some projects in the Sunshine Coast community, including the current sponsorship of the Nicholas Sonntag Marine Education Centre. I’m sure you will see her out and about soon. Please continue to send me your questions about the Langdale terminal redevelopment project at michael.pearson@bcferries.com. Thank you, Mike Senior Project Manager BC Ferries

Real Estate Market Minute
Tony Browton RE/MAX City Realty
Knowing the facts about the real estate market, specific developments or locations, and the many types of transactions available is the first priority of every realtor working for a client looking to buy. In my practice, I place transparency above all other values: it’s what I expect from my clients, and it’s what they demand from me. Frankly, there isn’t an industry in North America that hasn’t been challenged to increase consumer transparency over the past few years, as technology puts so much information at our fingertips these days, and consumers expect companies to be honest and forthright. Pre-sales (buying a condo or townhouse before they are completed or have started to be built) is something I have been asked a lot about in the last six months with the new developments being offered for sale in Gibsons and Sechelt. Here are three insights on buying pre-sale on the Sunshine Coast. Don’t listen to rumours Being the listing realtor for
the Eagleview Heights development, I regularly hear clients, potential buyers and even other realtors recount third-hand information that bears no relation to reality. Being small communities, rumours and misinformation spread faster here than they would in larger centres so the best thing to do, if you want information on a development, is to call the town or district office that they are located in and request information. Another good way to get information about a project is to visit the sales centre and speak to a representative. For the record, Eagleview Heights is moving ahead, we have completely sold out of garden suites, have only three town homes left and are approaching 50 per cent sold in Phase 1. We are well ahead of our projections and most of our buyers to this point have been locals, which we are very happy about. Hire a lawyer When you buy a pre-sale in BC, you have a seven-day right of rescission period after these two steps are complete: • You, the purchaser, sign a form acknowledging that you’ve read the Disclosure Statement. This outlines critical information about the construction, builder, and
OCEANFRONT
RESORT
&
budget, of your new home, amongst other details. • The contract of purchase and sale is signed, complete, and therefore, legally binding. The seven days don’t begin until the last counter-offer, and all associated terms, have been agreed to by both parties. Even if you are working with a realtor experienced in pre-sales in general, or a particular project specifically, you should still have a lawyer review the developer’s disclosure on your behalf prior to moving forward with the purchase. Understand “assignment” When buying a pre-sale there is delay between signing on the line and moving into the finished home. During this time, things can change and you may find yourself looking to assign (sell) the property prior to completion. Make sure you discuss this option with your realtor and lawyer during the rescission period so you have a clear understanding of your options and the process should it be something you need to do.

West Sechelt road opened to thru-traf�ic Sechelt council approved temporary removal of bollards restricting through vehicle traffic on Baillie Road in West Sechelt at its April 17 meeting. A traffic counter will be installed to monitor road usage. After these changes have been in place for 60 days, staff will report back to council about traffic on the road. When the requested report comes to council, a decision on the bollards may be considered, or an extended period of monitoring may be asked for. The earliest that a decision on this matter can be made is likely July. The bollards, which stop vehicles from travelling on Baillie between Tyler and Oracle Roads have been the subject of debate in the neighbourhood. Two earlier staff reports recommending removal have come before council. In both cases, when council was slated to consider the issue, the meetings were packed with area residents in favour and opposed to the change. At the most recent meeting, Mayor Darnelda Siegers noted an absence of concerned neighbours in attendance. She also noted that council has not received emails expressing concerns. Council asked staff to ensure that area residents are made aware of the plan to take the bollards out and monitor traffic levels. The bollards were put in place as a district condition for the Tyler Heights subdivision development in 2007. They were intended as a temporary measure to limit construction traffic impacts for residents during the subdivi-
sion build out. Studies done for developments in the area suggested that traffic counts on Baillie could reach 900 trips per day by 2014. Thirty-six fewer residential units were built in the Tyler development than were planned for. This, in conjunction with the construction of other neighbourhood roads, has resulted in Baillie traffic volumes being estimated by district staff at the much lower rate of 200 to 250 trips per day. Baillie is a public road. The district’s intent has always been to connect Oracle and Tyler Roads via Baillie. Further development of Tyler is

being considered, to make it a connector between West Sechelt and the downtown area. By having the bollards in place, residents along Baillie have retained the unintended benefit of not having connecting traffic use the road in front of their homes. Snow removal and other district road maintenance activities are made more difficult by the bollards. They also complicate emergency vehicle access in the area. Bollard removal has been requested by the fire department and ambulance service, as well as some area residents. Connie Jordison

days and minimized energy waste, turning off unnecessary lights, appliances, computer screens and other devices. At the four schools, grades 4, 5, 6 and 7 led a variety of initiatives, including reminding everyone to bring a sweater and using energy meters to identify energy inefficiencies. The schools are Langdale, Roberts Creek, Davis Bay and Halfmoon Bay. Rob Collison, manager of SD46 facilities and transportation said the goal is to shift school culture. “We want to enable students and staff to save energy at schools and at home,” Collison said. “When they step into a room and see a light on that doesn’t need to be on, they turn it off, or if they find a door propped open after recess that they close it to save on heating costs”. SD46 has dropped energy use by five per cent annually for several years through solar panels, gas boiler and window upgrades, and automated lighting systems. The Energy Cup contest is part of the three-week Energy Matters program that provides teachers with materials to raise student awareness and understanding on climate change, on the daily choices we can make to reduce environmental impacts of our diet, transportation, home heating and lighting choices. Developed in collaboration with community partner Heartwood Solutions Consulting, the program is in its fourth year and has reached over 2,000 students. Submitted

“The things that make us all different are the things that make us beautiful. Showing respect to everyone every day at school can make you realize that even though we are all different, we can all give respect and be respected just the same.” Grade 9 student Earlier this month I had the opportunity to ask a handful of children and youth what respect meant to them. Their words were not only overwhelming and powerful but honest, kind and true. We see respect when we examine our Indigenous education curriculum. The new
BC curriculum design respects the unique nature and is authentic in the inclusion of perspectives, culture and knowledge of Indigenous peoples. Our district Aboriginal Programs create learning opportunities for all of our students to support them in their lifelong journey of education and respect for Indigenous peoples. Another key element of the new curriculum program that shows respect is the SOGI 123 program. The sexual orientation and gender identity program ensures that as a district, we are able to teach our students that everyone is different and every student deserves to feel welcome. Recently, we acknowledged our staff at a service recognition event – a fantastic way to show respect
in our district for those who have devoted many years to ensuring that SD46 is a district that is a community engaged in lifelong learning and educational excellence. When we listen to our students and examine how respect is implemented in our schools we are able to see that we are in line with our strategic plan and are engaged in lifelong learning and excellence in all that we do. Respect is at the forefront of a positive education and a healthy future both locally and globally. “Respect is for everybody. Respect is kindness, loving yourself, thinking before you speak, being honest, accepting others for who they are, holding the door for people and listening to your parents when they tell you to go to bed.” Grade 2 student

Dog parks can be great places to meet up with other dog owners and let dogs enjoy some off-leash play together. Sometimes, though, situations can arise which ruin the fun for dogs and owners alike. Following dog park “etiquette” helps avoid unpleasant events. Be sure to pick up after your dog. Many dog parks have waste bag dispensers and receptacles. Many diseases that affect dogs (including parvo-virus) are transmitted via dog feces so cleaning up helps everyone. Dogs attending a dog park should respond well to cues from their owners and come when called. Be sure your dog is well socialized and plays well with other dogs. The dog park is not the place to try to socialize an aggressive, fearful or socially uncomfortable dog. Fearful, reactive and aggressive behaviors require specific behavior modification exercises for improvement. Dogs at the park should be
watched for signs of stress (licking their lips, yawning, turning their head away, attempting to leave the play group or avoiding the attention of another dog and standing very still can be signals of stress) which indicate the dog needs a break. If your dog is being bullied or is bullying another dog (bullying is when one dog or a group of dogs is persistently pursuing another dog), leave the park. Healthy and appropriate play between dogs is reciprocal. By “reciprocal” I mean that one dog offers to be chased and then the chaser offers to be chased. If an owner isn’t sure whether there is some bullying going on, walk
the suspected bully away from the second dog. If the second dog returns to or follows the first dog, they are doing fine together. Interrupt chase games frequently so that the chaser does not slip into predatory behavior (a concept known as “predatory drift”). This happens more frequently when the pursuing dog is larger than the dog being pursued, and the dog being pursued acts more and more like prey (zigzagging while running and making high pitched noises). Have fun at the dog park but take steps to make sure it is enjoyable for dogs and people alike.
Dog parks can be great fun for the pets and their owners, but there is an etiquette to follow. Here, Jane’s dogs Polly, left, and Amber look ready to play. JANE BOWERS PHOTO

SPRING CAR CARE!
Regular maintenance is cheaper The oft-sudden expense of vehicle repairs can throw monthly budgets into disarray. Maintaining a routine service schedule is one way for drivers to keep repair costs down. The online automotive resources Edmunds.com says many car owners do not adequately prepare for scheduled maintenance, and may not give maintenance a thought until it’s too late. The first step drivers take upon purchasing a new or preowned vehicle should be to familiarize themselves with the vehicle’s owner’s manual, which is filled with valuable information and likely includes maintenance interval recommendations. Next, drivers should learn about their vehicle, which is particularly relevant when buying a preowned vehicle. Getting to know how the car or truck rides, as well as any sounds it may make, can provide drivers with a solid foundation they can then use to keep their cars running strong. Routine service typically includes tire rotation, oil changes and topping off of fluids. So just how long between service appointments can a car go? Here are some generalized estimates.
• Oil change: Oil chemistry and engine technology have improved so much that most cars can go well beyond the once-recommended 4,800km interval between oil changes. Now many vehicle manufacturers recommend between 8,000 and 16,000 kilometres between changes, advises Edmunds. Drivers should err on the side of caution if they do a lot of stop-and-go driving and short trips. Other drivers may want to invest in vehicles that have oil change maintenance minders built

in. A light or countdown will come on the dashboard, indicating when the oil has reached the end of its usefulness. • Tire rotation: Rotating tires helps prolong the life of the tires and alleviates uneven tread and wear. During the rotation, each tire is removed and relocated to a different position to ensure that all the tires will wear evenly. Michelin Tires states that tires should be rotated around every six months, or between 10,000 and 12,000 kilometres. • Vehicle fluids: Your best bet is to see what the manufacturer recommends in regard to fluids such as transmission fluid, differential oil, brake fluids, coolant, etc. Some transmissions need regular maintenance, while others can go 240,000 kilometres between changes, according to the vehicle information site The Drive. Coolant typically can last 160,000 kilometres. For these types of changes, it may be best to go to a mechanic or service centre familiar with your make and model rather than a quick-lube centre, as knowing when to drain and refill can be more complicated.

Roberts Creek cleanup From April 28 to May 18 volunteers in Roberts Creek will be picking up litter in “The Creek”. The Roberts Creek Community Association (RCCA) is sponsoring this project with the goal of getting the garbage out of our ditches and off our roadsides. Cleanup kicks off at the Earth Day celebration, April 28, at the pier in Roberts Creek, noon-5pm. A large laminated map of Roberts Creek will be displayed at the RCCA booth. When volun-
teers sign up to pick up the litter, they will be given garbage bags and SCRD garbage tags for curbside pickup on their regular garbage day. As they sign up, we mark off the sections of the map they have pledged to clean up. Our goal is to match volunteers with every road and street from the cemetery to the provincial campsite. For more information, contact Elaine Futterman at 885-2395 creekclayworks@ dccnet.com. Submitted
About 30 people gathered at the Davis Bay Pier to mark the National Day of Action on the Overdose Crisis on April 16 – the third anniversary of BC’s declaration of a public health emergency.
