A crowd at the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts on Aug. 12 listens to the introduction of Maureen Palmer and Michael Pond (seated), co-authors of “Wasted”. The book is a grueling tale of Pond’s battle with alcohol and some of the new science on addiction, and it was an emotional presentation.

Attendance at the 34th annual festival was about 8,700, up about 500 from last year, and five of the 21 events were sold out. Next year’s festival runs Aug. 17-20, 2017. RIK JESPERSEN PHOTO

Fishing banned due to low creek level

now playing

Federal authorities have again slapped a ban on salmon fishing in the Sunshine Coast’s Chapman Creek due to low water levels, but the SCRD says it sees no need to increase water flow into the creek from Chapman Lake at this time.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) issued an order Aug. 10, saying the Chapman Creek closure “is in response to extremely low water levels and is intended to protect salmon stocks in this system.” The order was to start Aug. 12 and remain in effect until Oct. 15.

A similar order was issued for Chapman Creek on July 22 last year.

When asked about the DFO’s

move, Bryan Shoji, the SCRD’s Director of Infrastructure Services, told the Local that the order is “related to [the DFO’s own] processes,” and that in fact, “the SCRD continues to release adequate flow to meet the creek flow rates recommended by a professional biologist.”

That view is disputed by David Burnett, Executive Director of the Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhancement Society and the General Manager of the Chapman Creek Hatchery. Burnett said in an Aug. 11 interview that the flow is too low to keep the creek water cool enough for salmon, and has been too low for weeks.

“You’ve got juvenile Coho and Steelhead that are in the

creek and are going to be in the creek until next year, until March or April when they migrate out to sea,” Burnett said.

“The warmer temperatures will affect them. And less flow means warmer water,” which is harmful and even potentially lethal for the fish.

Burnett believes that the SCRD should install and start using a provincially approved siphon system to draw more water out of Chapman Lake.

“The siphon would enable them to increase flow into the creek,” he said.

The siphon provides the technology to draw down a further two metres into Chapman Lake beyond the current three-metre limit. ...continued on page 7

LETTER TO CANADA POST’S CEO Deepak Chopra CEO, We think it’s time for you to go.

Canada Post won’t bargain fairly, equality and respect is seen quite rarely.

Twelve long years of discrimination is hurting rural workers across this nation.

But - Honourable Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, says it’s 2016 and he’s let us all know that equality and wage parity are our absolute right, so let’s bargain for a fair contract and call off the fight.

The Local - Thursday, August 18, 2016

Editorial Opinion Time to cheer, pressure Trudeau Canadians of all political persuasions care about climate action. Watching Canada fall behind the rest of the world over the past 10 years has been deeply disturbing to many. We became climate laggards. We yearn to be leaders.

The hope that Canada would act on scientific evidence and contribute to climate solutions was bolstered when Justin Trudeau became prime minister in late 2015. He quickly announced he would personally go to Paris for the December climate negotiations. He gave his new environment minister, Catherine McKenna, the expanded title of “minister of environment and climate change,” and sent her to COP21 with instructions to make Canadians proud. He even convened all the premiers before Paris to review the latest climate science.

So, how much better is Canada’s climate target than before the Liberals swept to power? Astonishingly, not one bit. Despite all the activity that has taken place, Canada is ignoring its greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal. The Harper government’s goal of reducing emissions 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 is still Canada’s target. So while the premiers are building a plan, they’re building it to hit the old, weak target.

Canada’s leadership in getting the world to agree to hold global average temperature to 1.5 degrees will come to nothing if our current levels of commitment remain in place. In fact, the impact of the aggregate of actions pledged to date by all nations — assuming all countries hit their targets on time — will not be to hold global average temperature to 1.5 C. Those actions will not hold temperature to 2 C. The impact of hitting current targets on global average temperature ranges from 2.7 to 3.5 C. Unless the current round of targets is withdrawn and replaced by more ambitious actions — something called for in the Paris Agreement as “ratcheting up” — we’ll lose any chance of keeping Arctic ice at the pole, which will set off feedback loops that will accelerate global warming.

These levels of global average temperature increase are beyond catastrophic. Low-lying island states will be condemned to sinking below the rising sea level. Increasingly persistent and severe droughts and floods will force millions from their homes and have devastating impacts on food and water supplies.

We have to put the question of Canada’s domestic target back on the table. Now is when we need to encourage, cheer and pressure our prime minister to step up — for my grandchildren, for his children and for all of us.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Games vs news Recently I was sitting in a living room and a very young girl started to play a 'game' on IBOX. I know nothing about these games and had never watched one before. 'Nuketown' was definitely the right name, since the next thing I know, she is using a virtual semi-automatic machine gun to shoot soldiers dressed in military fatigues and helmets along with what appeared to be

Dance auditions

The Sunshine Coast’s Coasting Along Theatre Society will be holding their annual auditions for their 5th presentation of the perennial favourite ballet, The Nutcracker. Auditions will be held at the Coast Academy of Dance, in Sechelt, on Sunday Sept. 11.

The rehearsals commence on September 17 and continue each weekend until the performances at Raven’s Cry Dec.17 – Dec. 20. Most performers will rehearse either Saturday or Sunday, until late November, and then both Saturday and Sunday may be required. With rehearsals held only on weekends it

But the real shocker was yet to come.

Later in the day, the mother told me that she wouldn't allow this same little girl to watch the news because it was 'too violent'.

The Nutcracker has parts for all levels of dancers – from the smallest mouse, to the ethereal Sugar Plum Fairy. We are looking for all calibre of dancers. The corps work is especially challenging, but the ballet dancers have raised the bar each year – and we’re excited to see what’s possible this year.

Miguel Nguyen who will return for his fifth appearance is currently dancing in Argentina. The professional dancers love their time on the Coast, the hospitality and generosity is overwhelming. The whole

‘Unsightly’ boxes could get ‘art wraps’ line is October 1.

Hydro boxes are no longer hand-painted directly, as they once were. Instead, the design is transferred to a vinyl wrap which is then applied to the box.

The plain metal boxes, which sit on concrete bases, can be a temptation for graffiti vandals, but apparently they are less likely to be targets if they are decorated with artworks.

“To date, these projects have proved highly successful as graffiti abatement measures and have added vibrancy to our streetscape,” Smith wrote.

If council approves funding, District staff would issue a formal Call for Artists to submit design proposals.

Designs would have to conform to a 2011 bylaw for public murals, which says that images must reflect “Sechelt’s history, cultural and natural environment.”

Both the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and TELUS have similar types of metal utility boxes located throughout the community and do allow vinyl-wrap artworks to be applied to them, but do not offer any grants to help cover the expense.

The District of Sechelt is applying for a grant to cover more BC Hydro utility boxes located on public property with works by local artists.

“There are many ordinary and some unsightly looking utility boxes throughout the District of Sechelt… in highly visible public locations,” Siobhan Smith, the District’s Arts, Culture & Communications Co-ordinator, said in a report to the Aug. 10 meeting of the Finance, Culture and Economic Development Committee.

Smith’s report suggested eight utility-box locations for the beautification project, which would be carried out in 2017 and 2018. Six of the boxes are in the downtown area.

Quotes would be sought by tender, but the estimated cost is between $2,200 and $2,800 for each box, depending on the size, and includes a $500 honorarium for the artist. The maximum outlay for four boxes would be $11,200 in each of the budget years, minus any grant funding.

The committee approved a recommendation from staff to apply for a grant from the BC Hydro Beautification Fund, which would cover one-third of the cost.

Conditional approval was being sought now because the grant application dead-

Mayor’s Message Bruce Milne Mayor, District of Sechelt

The local economy is enjoying a strong period of growth with many sectors of the economy finding this summer to be the most positive in the past decade. One result of this strong economy is high volumes of development and land-use change applications at our offices.

The District of Sechelt’s Planning and Development Department is tasked with managing development and land-use in the best interests of the community. The municipality establishes goals, plans, policies, and bylaws to guide the community towards desired outcomes – outcomes chosen and supported by the community and set out in the Official Community Plan.

Proper planning processes help to achieve these goals with order and efficiency, makes our community more attractive, healthier and more socially and economically resilient.

Good planning is also about providing certainty and consistency for residents and developers - which can only be established if the planning process is embraced. A good planning process means that everyone is treated in a fair and consistent manner when it comes to administration of municipal policies and by-

laws. As an example, in fairness to other applicants and those involved in the review process, the District will only address and process complete applications.

Along with the requirement to submit complete information, developers have other responsibilities in good planning processes. For example, amendments to community plans and bylaws make sense only in the context of them benefiting the overall community interest. It is up to each proponent to demonstrate how their proposal benefits the overall well-being of the community and recognize that application requests and bylaw amendments are never guaranteed.

An essential part of good planning practices is a solid development review process.

Good development and landuse change proposals are often the result of an extended discussion that includes the original proposal, review, input from community, Council and staff, and action to im-

The Local - Thursday, August 18, 2016

prove the proposal. Review of and feedback on proposals can often take a few rounds of discussion.

The District is committed to having a fair and efficient development review process. Good processes should and will not be abandoned in the name of expediency. To maintain equity and a level playing field for all there can be no special favours or concessions. Depending on the complexities, some applications may take longer to go through the feedback loop, or may require several attempts to complete the loop.

With a strong economy and the current high volume of development related applications, the District is committed to treating all in a fair and consistent way. Applications will be reviewed in an orderly way, based on the application submission date. Council’s goal is to facilitate community growth that is in keeping with the values that our residents have told us are important for the future of Sechelt.

The SCRD is moving forward on an expansion plan to have an emergency supply of water from Chapman Lake in a drought situation. To do so, SCRD has been required to do an updated environmental study before obtaining final permits from the provincial government. This environmental study will analyze every drawdown concern addressed to the SCRD staff by the public. This should be done by this fall and the environmental study then will be examined by provincial officials. The project will move ahead when all environmental studies are complete and the provincial government approves the plan for the drawdown of Chapman Lake.

The siphon system will be put in place in case of a drought situation. At this

time SCRD water is still in Stage 2. The siphon will not be put in place until we are in Stage 3 and will then be used to avoid going to Stage 4.

This plan will ensure that the SCRD water system functions to ensure fire safety, protect fish, and provide sufficient water for our constituents.

This month I had a tour of the fish hatchery. The manager explained the improvements over the past few years and the organization’s goal to expand the local fish supply.

To do so, the manager feels the SCRD needs to release a higher water supply from the dam at Chapman Lake than what the Department of Fisheries requires. Presently the SCRD water staff are releasing two-thirds more than what is required in order to help with the spawning process. The fish hatchery manager feels this is not enough to improve the overall fishing program on the Sunshine Coast.

Although the SCRD does not have any officially planned meetings during Au-

Stage 4, or “severe” limits on water use.

The SCRD is awaiting permission from BC Parks to install a pipeline directly into Chapman Lake. If approved, it would be in place by September 2017.

Drought conditions prompted the SCRD to go to

Stage 4 for three weeks last year, starting on Aug. 13. But with considerably more rain falling on the Coast this summer, the SCRD was able to hold off until July 25 before imposing Stage 2, with its relatively moderate restrictions.

Stage 2, which is still in effect, puts limits on lawn sprinkling

and prohibits most spraycleaning of sidewalks, driveways and building exteriors.

Shoji said the SCRD “does not anticipate moving to Stage 3 water restrictions at this time,” but added that the regional district “continuously evaluates” the situation. Rik Jespersen

gust, staff and directors are still fielding questions from constituents and attending communication events, such as community dialogues on Gambier/ Keats Islands this month.

Although I missed the Shorncliffe and Totem Residence meeting because of a two-ferry wait at Horseshoe Bay, I, like other elected officials on the Coast, am trying to get as much information as possible from Vancouver Coastal Health. I and other Directors on the Sunshine Coast Hospital Board wish to be fully informed before we proceed with challenging the plans for senior care, as we were given very little at a meeting last month. I have had many constituents speak to me personally on this issue, some with family members who are presently in one or other of the two residence buildings, and they gave me many good reasons to maintain these facilities.

I will attend the affordable housing meeting on the August 29. People are being displaced from residences because of the real estate boom.

The lack of affordable and rental housing affects constituents of all ages, forcing people to leave the Coast and making it difficult for local businesses to maintain staff.

Please contact me at 604741-2427 or e-mail me at garry.nohr@scrd.ca if you wish to discuss SCRD programs or plans.

The Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival runs August 18 to 21 with an impressive program of music and line up of skilled musicians all brought together by Artistic Director Alexander Tselyakov.

Celebrated players like Mark Fewer, David Gillham, Joyce Lai, Ariel Barnes and Heidi Krutzen will be gracing the Festival stage performing music by Vivaldi, Handel, and Chopin. There’s even the rare opportunity to hear an octet

by Mendelssohn. The Rising Tide program, first introduced at last year’s Festival, returns, featuring three young up and coming talents. This year’s Rising Tide performers are Rae Gallimore of Vancouver Is-

What do you think of when you hear the name Hubert Evans? For most, he was the quintessential 1930s ‘Coast Man’; he had a knack for fishing and building boats, but also knew how to write and tell a story.

Hubert Evans grew up in Galt, Ontario. After graduating from high school, he became a journalist, enlisting in WW1 in 1915. After the war he worked at the salmon hatcheries in Lakelse, BC where he married

Search & Rescue Dispatches Jane Macdonald

Crew Member RCMSAR Station 12 Halfmoon Bay

The all-volunteer crews of both Sunshine Coast Search and Rescue teams (Land and Marine) have had a busy summer with taskings and continuous training exercises. A few close calls remind us of how quickly good intentions evaporate in the absence of good planning. We understand accidents happen; that’s why we remain on call 24/7/365.

land, Vancouver-based Jenny Dou and the Sunshine Coast’s own Hanna Crudele.

Crudele has been playing violin since she was four, taking the stage with the Coast String Fiddlers’ Bad to the Bow and the Sunshine Coast Youth Orchestra before becoming Principal Second Violinist with the Vancouver Senior Youth Symphony Orchestra. Now studying with acclaimed violinist Yehonatan Berick at the University of Ottawa, Crudele is looking forward to once again playing at home. “It’ll be fun to play in front of all the people I’ve grown up with or seen me play in Fiddlers when I was nine,” she says with a laugh.

Crudele will play with Gallimore on viola and Dou on piano on Friday, August 19 in a free concert featuring a varied program of music that includes Bach, Mozart, and Hindemith. They’ll be showcasing their skills during solos as well as playing together in

his high-school sweetheart, Anna Winters. The Evans and their three children moved to Roberts Creek in 1927.

Evans believed that one must balance physical and mental exertion, and so balanced his physically demanding life of fishing and boat building with writing. He is most known for his novels Mist on the River and Son of the Salmon People: accounts of the struggles of First Nations youth to balance traditional values and practices with colonial Western culture.

Written during the WWII, The Price of Loyalty warned impressionable youth of the horrors of war, while No More Islands spoke against the internment of Japanese citizens.

On the water, Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue volunteers responded to a call at midnight recently when a small vessel carrying several enthusiastic campers lost power. The 3.5’ swells and heavy winds off North Thormanby Island required a swift response. After a frantic search, our crew found the vessel (and its frightened passengers bracing the waves) thanks to their mobile devices - the only functioning light source on board. SOS signals from a handheld phone can work, as evidenced by the rescue, however, having a flashlight, flare or strobe is required. More importantly, “wearing” a life jacket or Per-

duos and a trio. “It’s quite a diverse program,” says Crudele.

“There’s a lot of different styles in one concert so [as a player] you have to adapt quickly.” Another adjustment the young players will need to make is rehearsing together on a shortened schedule. “I usually rehearse something for months,” says Crudele. “We don’t start rehearsing together until Monday and the concert is Friday. But that’s how the pros do it.”

Getting that experience, doing it the way the pros do, is what makes the Rising Tide program so unique and invaluable to young players like Crudele who will also form part of the octet playing Menhelssohn’s Opus 20. “It’s a full work, a crowd favourite,” says Crudele. “Making sure everyone is on the same page will be challenging. That’s why it’s a little scary to only have a couple days of rehearsal. It’s going to be a real learning op-

In his later life, with 21+ publications under his belt – including novels, plays, and poetry – Evans was awarded an honorary doctorate from SFU in 1982. He was also honoured with the naming of the ‘Hubert Evans Prize’: an annual award for the top British Columbian non-fiction writer.

Evans boatbuilding skills are recognized through the work of Larry Westlake, who has created a working replica of the Hubert Evans handliner.

The original boat is on display at the Museum.

Evans’ importance to the community lies in how he contributed to the large fishing tradition of the Coast, and in what his writing says about the world. Most of his work fo-

sonal Flotation Device is vital in situations where Mother Nature is working her powers. Being safe trumps vanity, every time. All boaters are reminded to “wear” their PFD’s.

On Land, there were two call outs to assist with BC Ambulance Service: one at Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park, the other at Smugglers Cove. Both calls were to assist elderly hikers and were resolved without injury. Please remember to bring plenty of food and water when out on trails, be aware of potential fire situations and report wildfires immediately.

Complimentary Vessel Safety Checks were conduct-

portunity. I’m really excited about that.”

The Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival runs August 18-21 at the School of Music in Madeira Park. Tickets $30/$15. Rising Tide: A Brightening Breeze is a free concert on Friday, August 19 at 1:30pm. Complete details at penderharbourmusic.ca

Hannah Crudele is one of the up and coming musicians featured at the Pender Harbour Chamber Music Festival. This picture was taken two years ago, when she was 17. KATE HERGOTT PHOTO cuses on racism, conservation, personal integrity, and social responsibility. While Evans’ work spanned the 20s to 80s, the message he presents is still relevant: we can do better.

An elderly Hubert Evans outside his home in Roberts Creek. SCMA PHOTO ed by crew members at Secret Cove Marina in July. Over a dozen boat owners were treated to friendly boat safety and equipment inventory inspections by members of Station 12. Passing a Pleasure Craft Safety inspection ensures boaters have the right equipment on board, and qualifies boaters to receive discounts on insurance coverage. A precaution that pays.

An Open House and Fall Recruiting Drive is in the works for September 15 for RCMSAR Station 12 at the Seaside Centre in Sechelt from 6-7:30pm. Both Society (administrative and fundraising) and Crew (on water) volunteers are needed. Play safe.

Tip of the Week: Eclipse season has begun!

Two Lunar Eclipses, one on either side of a Solar Eclipse makes for an exciting line-up.

Generally recognized as carrying an extra charge, compared to regular New and Full Moons, the sign, house and exact aspects eclipses make in our Natal Charts tells the real story of what role and impact they are destined to make. But the Horoscopes do provide a glimpse and the themes outlined over the next several weeks will help to illuminate them for you.

The exact degrees of all 3 eclipses are as follows: • The August 18 Lunar Eclipse occurs is 25 Aquarius 52.

• The Solar Eclipse on September 1st occurs at 9 Virgo 21.

• The second Lunar Eclipse occurs on September 16 at 24 Pisces 20 Aries (Mar 21–Apr 20) As the world turns the focus has shifted from fun in the sun to whistle while you work. Okay so you may not be exactly whistling. In fact, your sights are set on creating an opening to get away, but this window is closing

will begin to wane this week, however, so if you want to make the most of it and have not yet taken any initiatives, this is your cue. The time has come to either improve existing foundations and/or to initiate new ones altogether.

Virgo (Aug 23–Sep 22) A growing determination to make key improvements in your life will become very apparent this week. From both within and without, you will feel the push. This trend will continue over the coming weeks as well, so you are wise to take action now. The good news is that your financial goals will get a boost as well.

Libra (Sep 22–Oct 22) As old thoughts, ideas, plans and priorities steadily melt away, new ones will come forward to take their place. However, these new ones may not be apparent for a few weeks. So, be aware that you could enter a void period for a while.

Cleaning and clearing the business of yesteryear will keep you productive.

Scorpio (Oct 22–Nov 21) The window for getting the attention you want and feel you need and deserve is now closing. The emphasis now is upon your friendships. You probably tend to be the independent and solo type. But that does not mean you don’t like to socialize. Reach out to engage and be engaged, even if on your own terms.

Sagittarius (Nov 21–Dec 21) The spirit of adventure and

store in Deep Cove. On August 13, a witness called police after seeing a family member’s sailboat entering Gibsons harbour, all the while knowing that the owner of the boat was not visiting the Sunshine Coast. Police apprehended

the suspect and confirmed the boat was stolen. The suspect, who was travelling alone, was arrested for theft under $5,000 and Possession of Stolen Property. The file is still under investigation.

Bar president

play has been strong these past weeks. But that may be shifting now and should become noticeable this week.

In the bigger picture, your world has been steadily expanding, especially in terms of your social and professional status. This has required sober thinking and action and this attitude will deepen.

Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19) Sometimes we have to dig deep to reach high. The planetary alignments suggest that this has been true for you for the past while. It has required that you get out of your own way somehow, a process best understood as spiritual, a dissolving of old ego patterns. A steady shift in your priorities is the result and continues.

Aquarius (Jan 19–Feb 19) A healing cycle has begun.

Like fasting, it includes a process of elimination, on one hand, and cultivation, on the other. Cleaning up and raising your standards and perhaps your overall vibe is highlighted. But, as is the case with deep cleaning, things can get messier, first. But the reward will be a boost of confidence.

Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20) It is somewhat ironic that Leo time, which is about fun in the sun for so many, is one of your more challenging cycles. It is a time when work and play tend to get all mixed up. At least a rich exchange and interchange of thoughts and ideas is underway. The momentum will actually build over the coming days and weeks.

Crash victim airlifted to VGH A 22 year-old male from Halfmoon Bay was in intensive care after a serious single-vehicle collision on a forest service road near Dusty Road in Sechelt on Aug. 12.

Sunshine Coast RCMP were called shortly before 10 am to assist paramedics and the Sechelt Fire Department with the collision, which left the male pinned in his Jeep, about 10 feet down from the roadway. After fire crews worked to extract the male, he was airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital. There were

no passengers in the vehicle, and no evidence of impairment.

“We’re all pulling for this young man right now,” said Cst Harrison Mohr with Sunshine Coast RCMP. “This was a terrible accident that is going to be felt by many in the community. We wish him a full recovery.”

The exact cause of the collision is unknown. Anyone with further information is asked to call Sunshine Coast RCMP, file 16-5138.

The Canadian Bar Association, BC Branch (CBABC), has announced former Sechelt lawyer Michael Welsh as its new President for the 2016/17 term.

Welsh, of Mott Welsh & Associates in Penticton, is the first branch president in over a decade from the BC Interior.

He was vice-president of the provincial association last term. Welsh lived in Gibsons and practised law in Sechelt from 1982 to 1997. He is also a former president of the Sechelt Rotary.

Welsh understands why it is important to support lawyers in the provision of legal services in smaller communities: “There are many parts of this province where access to these services needs to be improved.” Submitted

and won’t open for another few weeks anyway. In the bigger picture you are on a search for new lands to explore.

Taurus (Apr 20–May 21) A creative leadership cycle continues. Deciphering what constitutes your best area of focus and managing your time well is your current challenge. To succeed, you need to be clear about what are your best talents and/or what do you want to focus upon at this stage of your life. Take a snack, this soul searching march could take a while.

Gemini (May 21–Jun 21) A major shift of focus on the home front is underway. Completions of old plans and rhythms and the early stages of taking new initiatives are all featured. Many fronts are putting demands on you and you may feel a bit stretched. Fortunately, your confidence levels have been steadily rising and this trend will continue.

Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 22) An extra busy cycle continues and will get busier yet over the coming weeks.

Deciphering where, how and why you need to make key investments remains a central theme. The good news is that you are entering a time when opportunities will be knocking louder and more often than they have for some time.

Leo (Jul 22–Aug 23) A pioneering urge continues to taunt you. Its impulse
