White was the colour of the night July 18 at the Sunshine Coast Botanical Garden in West Sechelt. It was the White Gala Garden Party, with a sold-out crowd of 120 paying $115 (for early tickets) or $130 for a gourmet dinner by chef Alan Barnes, music by Apasionado and an auction. When it was all over, the garden netted about $60,000 that will go towards a new entrance called “welcome to the garden”, the first phase of a 15-year development plan. CARI MILLER PHOTO

Bankers were builders for a day A group of 40 BMO employees dropped banking on July 19 and instead spent the day at Habitat for Humanity’s Wilson Creek village site.

It was the seventh annual “BMO Build Day” and they spent it completing a split rail fence, sanding decks, landscaping, and painting trim boards to help finish the two homes set for completion this fall.

Margie Garrard, one of the founding Sunshine Coast Habitat for Humanity board members says, “this village could not exist” without the many BMO and local volunteers that have shared their time and skill over the years to build this village.

The BMO group worked on two houses currently under construction (with two more

to follow).

The village currently houses eight families with 29 children in total. “These kids now have a better chance to live fulfilled, purposeful lives,” said Garrard.

A partnership between School District (SD) 46 and Vancouver Island University (VIU), sees about 15 local youth, ages 16 to 18, come to the village site every year from January to May to learn alongside certified trade instructors from SD46 through a program called Train in Trades (the new name for the ACE-IT program). The youth receive community volunteer hours as well as high school and university credits and, Garrard says, “these students have helped build this village” and their efforts have

provided safe, affordable and decent housing for some of the Sunshine Coasts working families who wouldn’t otherwise qualify for a conventional mortgage. The families also contribute 500 or more hours of work for Habitat to equal a five per cent down payment which helps them qualify to purchase their home.

BMO supports the project by paying employees’ salaries to volunteer for the day.

Habitat for Humanity SC is primarily funded through donations and sales from the Sunshine Coast Restore located at 5605 Sunshine Coast Hwy in Sechelt as well as bottle recycling in Sechelt and Gibsons, provincial funding and through the new federal housing initiative. Cari Miller

An Update on BC Ferries’ Langdale Terminal Redevelopment Plan Hello Sunshine Coast Residents, We are one step closer to moving forward with the overhead walkway, and recently received our internal approval to continue with this part of the Langdale Terminal Redevelopment project. This is great news and helps keep the overhead walkway project on schedule.

We are currently finalizing our Phase 2 plan and schedule for community engagement. We will host events at the terminal and on board the vessel, and expect to present visuals of the proposed walkway, as well as provide you with information on the design.

We want to collect your feedback and will also provide an update on the upland redevelopment portion of the project. We expect to be at the terminal early in the fall for these engagements, and will provide further details in the upcoming months. Please visit the Langdale project at bcferries.com/about/terminaldevelopment-planning for updates.

Our goal is to get the overhead walkway into service as soon as possible. Our current plan has the walkway spanning across the bay from the west end of the current parking area to Berth 1. It will be covered and accessible for all customers and will connect with the new terminal building when it is completed.

See our anticipated schedule for the overhead walkway below.

I cannot stress enough how important the Langdale Terminal Redevelopment project is to us. For this reason, we are taking additional time to work on the development of the terminal building to ensure we get it right. We will be coming back to you in 2019 to gather your feedback and continue the conversations we’ve started about the terminal building itself. We will keep you updated on our progress and on upcoming engagement opportunities regarding the building.

The Sunshine Coast Regional District’s (SCRD’s) process of rezoning the Langdale terminal continues. The last step of finalizing an access agreement with the District is expected to be finished in the next few months. This is also great news and helps keep the project on schedule.

We’ve heard from the community your concerns about parking capacity at Langdale terminal. The proposed design options for the Langdale terminal redevelopment plan include the addition of a small number of parking spots within the land BC Ferries manages. The design considers the maximum number of parking spots we can add without building an elevated

In response to the concerns we’ve been hearing, we have recently hired Robbins Parking to manage the lot to ensure it is being used efficiently. We do encourage public transit use and carpooling as an alternative to using the lot. BC Transit has recently improved its service to the Langdale terminal, and bus service from Horseshoe Bay into Vancouver is also improving, helping to make travel without a vehicle easier.

Please continue to send me your questions about the project and what lies ahead. If you have any specific things you’d like to know about this project, please email me directly at michael.pearson@bcferries.com.

Coast homeless count: the numbers are in A count of the homeless on the Sunshine Coast identified 57 individuals who are experiencing homelessness. The number was reported in a

letter to Sechelt council from the provincial government.

A previous count on the Coast in 2009 found 54 homeless people.

Of the 57 this year, four were children, more than a quarter were aged 55-plus, 27 per cent were Indigenous, and 45 per cent were female.

About half of those identified reported accessing shelters.

The count was coordinated by the provincial government in 12 communities. Originally the provincial funding was intended to conduct the count in the District of Sechelt only. But because there is so much connectivity along

the Gibsons, Roberts Creek and Sechelt corridor, volunteers covered those areas as well.

The letter suggested that local governments “interested in building more affordable housing to address the needs of those identified through this count, are encouraged to take advantage of provincial funding announced in Budget 2018.”

The budget allocated $7 billion to be released over the next 10 years to “create and preserve affordable housing.”

Targeted funding streams include the Indigenous Housing Fund, the Support-

The Sunshine Coast Regional District and BC Transit are pleased to support the 50th annual Sea Cavalcade by offering additional evening bus service on Saturday, July 28, making it easier for everyone to get to and from the evening festivities safely and conveniently.

Passengers traveling from Sechelt to watch the fireworks in lower Gibsons will be able to choose from two extra trips on route 90 Sechelt-Gibsons/Langdale Ferry Express (leaving Sechelt 7:30pm and 9:30pm).

To help ensure customers have a safe ride home at the end of the night, the

10:05pm bus to Sechelt on route 1 Sechelt-Gibsons/ Langdale Ferry will wait at Marine Drive and School Road until the fireworks are over.

Please note that, due to this courtesy wait, the bus is anticipated to arrive late at Sunnycrest Mall (at 10:35pm approx.), with an expected arrival time of 11:15pm in Sechelt.

To supplement this, there will be two extra evening trips to Sechelt added on route 90 Sechelt-Gibsons/ Langdale Ferry Express, leaving Langdale Ferry Terminal at 8:15pm and 10:35pm.

Editorial Opinion

Hot, and getting hotter Over the past few months, heat records have broken worldwide. In early July, the temperature in Ouargla, Algeria, reached 51.3 C, the highest ever recorded in Africa. Temperatures in the eastern and southwestern United States and southeastern Canada have also hit record highs. In Montreal, people sweltered under temperatures of 36.6 C, the highest ever recorded there, as well as record-breaking extreme midnight heat and humidity, an unpleasant experience shared by people in Ottawa.

In Northern Siberia, along the Arctic coast, the temperature was over 32 C on July 5, much hotter than ever recorded.

Unusually high temperatures in the Arctic are causing sea ice to melt, exposing more dark sea areas, which absorb more heat than ice, causing feedback loops. Those are exacerbated by melting permafrost releasing more methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. All of it is weakening the polar jet stream, which in turn affects temperatures in mid-latitudes.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide has spiked to 408 parts per million, global average temperatures have risen 1.8 C since 1880, Arctic ice is declining at 13.2 per cent per decade, sea levels are rising 3.2 millimetres a year on average.

Despite the calamity unfolding before our eyes, many people and organizations still cast doubt on climate science and scientists, and politicians and governments fight against the very measures critical to addressing the crisis and ensuring the planet’s climate remains stable enough for good human health and survival.

Although some people argue that climate always changes, NASA scientists explain that evidence of past warming from ice cores, tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs and layers of sedimentary rocks show that “current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.”

The reasons we’ve failed to adequately confront the problem have nothing to do with lack of evidence or solutions. We have an abundance of both, but industrial interests and their supporters in media and politics (along with those who have been duped into denial) have actively worked to downplay the problem and hamper progress.

In Canada, we have federal and provincial governments hellbent on expanding fossil fuel infrastructure and development to reap as much profit as possible from a dying industry and to satisfy the vagaries of short election cycles. The fossil fuel industry continues to receive massive subsidies, including a multi-billion-dollar taxpayer bailout for an American pipeline company, while clean energy receives far less support.

It’s frightening to contemplate global warming, the changes required to confront it and the consequences we face in the coming years. But stalling solutions and continuing our fossil fuel addiction will only make the inevitable that much worse.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Cost revision (Re: “Makers vs meters”, letters, the Local, July 12) I think that some of Eric Popivich’s numbers may be a little wrong with his suggestion that the SCRD spend money on desalination plants, rather than water meters. While it is true that electric energy is a major cost component of desalination, a more complete analysis shows that energy usually constitutes only about 40 per cent of the operating costs. Keeping anything to do with seawater free of encrustation by marine life is always a challenge.

Wikipedia suggests that modern reverse osmosis (RO) plants use about 6kWh to desalinate 1,000 liters.

At $0.10/kWh, this comes to about 6 cents/100 litre.

Big hearts

One may never fully comprehend the true meaning of community until horrible circumstances besiege you and you find yourself the recipient of true community support.

This is a lesson we have been learning since a devastating fire on the May long weekend. Even while our wonderful Gibsons Volunteer Fire Department were valiantly fighting the flames, our wonderful neighbors were there helping and offering their assistance. In the hours, days and weeks that have followed, people and organizations have come forward with concrete help and encouragement; all of which is helping us to begin looking beyond the loss.

Recently, our neighbours, Shawn and Stephine Boyd came by with a generous donation from a fundraiser held by our local branch of Kin Canada. Thank you so much. We are grateful to

If we add a similar amount for maintenance and supplies, we get 12 cents/100L (or $1.20/1,000L) or a little more than the 10 cents/100L Popivich suggests.

However, the SCRD distributes an average of 15,000,000L/day. Making a similar amount of RO water at $1.20/1,000L would cost about $20,000/day or $7.3M/year. According to the 2017 SCRD annual report, the current annual budget for water seems to be $6.8M for service and maintenance plus $12M for capital projects. An additional $7.3M just for the water would be quite an increase, even before we consider the multimillion dollar capital cost of installing the plant.

There is a reason why

our amazing neighbours, the Gibsons Volunteer Fire Department and Emergency Services volunteers, our valued fellow farmers, growers and our fantastic customers: we appreciate all that you have done to help us move forward.

Thank you, dear Sun-

most reverse osmosis desalination plants are installed near deserts, not in rainforests.

I think that the SCRD is doing the best they can, and we just need to start doing a better job of storing winter rain to water our gardens and saving the “good water” for washing and drinking.

Those on Gambier Island and not near a stream may want to install their own reverse osmosis system, perhaps one of the light-duty Rainman systems Mr. Popivich has recommended in the past.

to increase rapidly.

Alarming is that council estimates that 40 per cent of them (roughly 60) are doing so without the prerequisite business licence, and this is blatantly unfair both to the 60 per cent who do operate responsibly, and to us taxpayers who could use the money. Nor does it provide much incentive to the coming wave of new Airbnb operators to bother getting one.

Part of the reason for this is that current municipal bylaws have not kept pace with this new business classification, therefore treats them as short-term rentals.

In response, Sechelt council is now actively considering how to address this burgeoning problem.

And in order to make a more informed decision, they ask those directly affected to send an email to the councillor of their choice, detailing specifically the impact an Airbnb has had on you, your lifestyle and on your local community.

So, Sechelt, everyone complains about the weather; here’s your chance to actually do something about it.

Please don’t waste it.

Persephone gets of�icial approval It’s official: Persephone Brewery is legal.

A July 3 letter from the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) says Persephone is “operating in compliance” with ALC regulations at its 11-acre site on Stewart Rd. just outside Gibsons.

Persephone’s application

for “non-farm use distinction” was rejected in early 2017 and they were given two years to comply with Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) rules and if they couldn’t, they would have to leave.

However, in the fall of 2017 the provincial government changed the rules so brewer-

ies on ALR land do not have to grow 50 per cent of their major ingredient on site; now, like wineries and cideries they only have to buy their ingredients from other BC farms.

Persephone posted on Facebook the most recent letter from the ALC, stating the commission is “satisfied that there is no evidence of any non-compliant activity occurring on the Property at this time. Our file is now closed.”

Former CAO runs for Gibsons council After many years as a local government administrator, Bill Beamish says he is ready to serve on the political side of the table and is running in October as a candidate for Town of Gibsons councillor.

Bill and his wife Heather are well known in the Coast community for their support of local artists. His work on environmental issues is less well known but will be an important perspective that he will bring to the Gibsons Council.

Many residents will remember Bill as the CAO for Gibsons (2002 – 2007) who introduced the successful

Pet Smarts

Jane Bowers Professional Trainer

Sometimes young friendly dogs become overly exuberant and jump up when greeting people. This might start out when the dog is small and can become a problem as the puppy gets bigger and heavier and grows longer nails.

The boisterous greetings can be frightening for a child or for someone who is worried about being knocked over.

Sometimes other people inadvertently encourage the jumping up by petting a dog and paying attention to it after the dog has jumped on them, making it difficult for owners to train their dogs to greet calmly.

So how does one teach a dog to greet calmly and without jumping up? The fastest way is to be very aware of what might be rewarding the

Music in the Landing program and monthly dialogue sessions on town issues.

“Community dialogue, consultation and a commitment to administrative fairness are essential for an effective local government,” Beamish said.

As a father of two millennials he is aware of the unique challenges faced by a younger generation making their way in our community and the wider world. “Initiatives to address affordable housing and encouraging employers to adopt the living wage for Sunshine Coast workers, would go a long way to helping younger members of our jumping up and to make sure all the rewards are given to the dog when he or she has four feet on the floor. This can be food, petting, praise and attention.

Have the dog on leash or tether the dog and make sure house guests understand that the dog or puppy can only be petted and get a food reward when he has four feet on the floor. The leash or tether helps control the dog.

When out in public, keep the dog leashed at a length that prevents the dog lunging forward and jumping on an approaching person who may be coming to pet the dog. The owner may need to be assertive with an approaching person and insist they only pet when the dog is sitting or standing. Sometimes an approaching person may ignore the instructions, and in the interest of training the dog, the owner may have to walk the dog away from the passer-by, saying “sorry but he is in training”. That way the dog

community.”

“I congratulate the current mayor and council for their community vision and accomplishments,” said Beamish, “and believe that now more attention could be given to working on regional issues like affordable housing, transportation, and health care, and on planning for the long-term future of Gibsons and the Sunshine Coast.”

Since ‘retiring’ in 2007 Bill has been providing services to local governments, notfor-profit organizations and incorporated societies.

avoids practicing the boisterous greeting behavior.

If the dog is exuberant and energetic when house guests arrive, teach him a trick like “roll over”, “bow” or “shake a paw”. This keeps the dog on the floor and he learns that he only gets greeted once he does the trick. Alternatively, have a tub full of toys and have guests toss a toy for the dog when they arrive. This redirects the dog’s attention when guests arrive.

After a three-year hiatus, the Rainforest Circus returns to the Coast July 27 to 29.

Produced by Deer Crossing the Art Farm, the show, titled Submerged, will see a section of Cliff Gilker Park transformed into an ocean as they take on the theme of water.

Chad Hershler, Art Farm’s artistic and executive director, says the Circus took a break after their last show in 2015 to regroup and find new ways of engaging the community into their shows. “We had so much success integrating some of the younger folks in the circus in 2014 and 2015,”

says Hershler. “And we found that so enriching and dynamic for the show. We wanted to more formally reach out to community members to be part of the process.” Over the last two summers, they hosted a series of workshops that focussed on the creation of a circus performance, building a group of committed local community members. There are approximately 25 people involved in putting on the circus, with 12 of those having emerged from the workshops to take on roles as clowns, performers, dancers, singers and musicians.

Water was an important theme for the troupe to explore. “Water is on everyone’s minds these days,” says Hershler. “From the lack of it to the ocean levels rising from climate change. What is

our relationship to the ocean and how is that relationship changing?” The story follows the two main characters on a metaphorical journey to the bottom of the sea to reconcile their adversarial past. According to Hershler, turning the forest into the sea isn’t as hard as it sounds. “The forest can very easily act as an ocean-like space,” he says.

“Especially the rainforest. It’s so dense and rich.” Hints of the ocean will be given using fabrics, kelp hanging from the trees, art installations, and a gargle choir. “We were playing with water,” laughs Hershler. “We started singing and gargling at the same time and it was so fun and so funny.” The innovative troupe also includes aerialists, spoken word, soundscapes and unique costumes designed

by Sandy Buck.

The show is approximately an hour long and promises to entertain all ages.

“They can expect to be totally wowed and amazed,” promises Hershler. “It’s a very unique experience [and] it’s a powerful moment when you bring people together in the forest.”

The Rainforest Circus presents Submerged July 27 to 29 at Cliff Gilker Park. July 27 is already sold out. Saturday, July 28, shows at noon, 2:30pm and 5:30pm. Sunday, July 29, shows at noon and 2:30pm. Tickets $20 for adults, youth and seniors $15, children under 12 $10, available online at deercrossingtheartfarm.org or on site if there are any left. Please note that trails are not suitable for strollers, wheelchairs or other transport devices. As parking is extremely limited, patrons are strongly encouraged to carpool or use the shuttle service from Roberts Creek Elementary. The shuttle is free and can be booked when purchasing tickets.

Coast athletes travel to the nationals in Nova Scotia On July 31, 174 BC athletes with intellectual disabilities – five them from the Sunshine Coast – will be ready, willing and able to represent their

province with pride, power and skill at the 2018 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

The athletes are representing 38 communities, and will be accompanied by 54 coaches and 16 mission staff members.

From July 31 to August 4, athletes will compete in athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, powerlifting, rhythmic gymnastics, soccer, softball, and swimming.

The proud and excited Sunshine Coast participants at National Games are: coach Darren Lane and athlete Gus Vaughn in golf; athletes Amanda Boghean and Chris Walker in softball; coach Cathy Verge and athletes Stephanie Rogers and Genny Verge in swimming.

Leslie Thornley, Team BC 2018 chef de mission, says: “Team BC athletes have been working very hard and we are excited to see them shine at the 2018 Special Olympics National Summer Games.

They have been training with their local programs, working with sport-specific experts, and focusing on nutrition so

they can be at their best for (these games). We know they will do BC proud with their abilities and sportsmanship.”

In Antigonish, athletes will compete for the opportunity to represent Canada at the 2019 Special Olympics

World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi.

Start your planting in late September; plant the clove in a soil depth that is twice the height of the clove, with the narrow tip pointing up. By mid-July, your garlic will be ready to harvest, and then cure for two weeks.

Tip of the Week: A Lunar Eclipse at 4 Aquarius 45 occurs on July 27, 2018. It does so with Mercury having just turned retrograde on July 25th. But the really big factor is the fact that the eclipsed Moon is also conjunct Mars retrograde.

This means that Mars and the Moon are both conjunct the Lunar South Node and the Sun is conjunct the North Node. In simpler terms, this implies a big charge of energy that will manifest for us all the feel and experience, directly and indirectly.

Mars is not as close to the earth as it was in 2003, which was a peak point in a very long cycle, but it is the closest it has been since then. Due to its special relationship with our own planet in the solar system, Mars only turns ret-

the lead and throw a party!

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20) Getting extra attention; called for or desired or not, is likely now. This could well come in the form of social and cultural involvements.

Yet, this is not a graceful time.

Rather, the mover and shaker within you is getting a big push. You may feel quite philosophical about it all, but others are feeling the waves you are causing. Focus to make them waves producing positive returns.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) This eclipse will serve to activate many new thoughts and perspectives. Foreign interests and affairs may take on added interest and importance. Somehow, your social status will be affected as well.

Meaning, others will recognize the changes in you. Philosophical and spiritual insights will rise within you. Positively, profound illuminations will ignite creative ideas.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22) Deep thoughts about your past, present and future will be activated by this eclipse.

Questions about who you are and what constitutes your priorities and how to best navigate your future are all featured. You may also feel the need to move on from what was, whether in thought, emotion or perhaps even literally. Clear the way.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23) Activations of some of your most intimate relationships will occur in sync with this eclipse. Some of these may come suddenly and unexpectedly. Themes of death, birth, and rebirth are featured. Any deaths will likely be psychological more than literal, but the latter is quite possible.

The areas of influence will include your public and professional life and your income.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22) Changes in your lifestyle rhythm are surfacing. These will challenge your comfort zone. Thoughts and plans about traveling are highlighted, even if the travel timeline is for later in the year. Making improvements in the way you meet the world could amount to a renewed focus on fitness.

Anchoring the realization that discipline will work better than inspiration in this regard, will help.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22) You will be zapped by jolts of creativity from this eclipse. In the most practical sense, you may devise or be introduced to new and better ways to activate new incomes streams. These could also manifest as heart-opening and/or mind-expanding ex-

include that of your financial flow too. To succeed, you may have to be willing to change your usual approach.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20) Activations of your intuitive abilities are featured in this eclipse. Perhaps you will feel inspired to explore new resources and teachers.

Either way, new ideas will be generated and these will include new relationship opportunities. Some of these could even prove to be romantic. New ways of seeing yourself and the world and in the world are highlighted.

It comes with the territory of the Sun in your sign. This eclipse will give a big boost to this feeling. Positively, you will experience it as a new found sense of clarity and confidence. It will also have the effect of activating changes in some of your closest relationships. Anticipate a mix of endings and new beginnings in your relationships.

Sagittarius (Nov 22–Dec 21) New realizations, illuminations, and enlightened perspectives are poised to be ignited by this eclipse. These will lead you to new associations both in the form of new people in your life and a reset on how you connect some of the dots in the bigger picture.

New tools and techniques that you can apply to your career and or repertoire of talents are also indicated.

rograde once every two years and it does so each time for just over two months. Mars retrograde can be understood as synchronizing with fluctuating energy levels where the low ebb produces otherwise inexplicable inertia, apathy, and fatigue.

Within the context of this dynamic and powerful energy pattern, the Sun entered Leo on July 22nd. It did so with Mercury in Leo and Venus in Virgo; difficult sign placements for both planets.

If this pattern was active in one’s Birth Chart, it lends to dictatorial attitudes, as is evidenced in the Birth Charts of both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19) The Lunar Eclipse will have the effect of helping you to better know who are and are not your friends. In the short term, your best friends are those who want to play with you. The Sun in Leo is calling you out to have some fun.

Yet, circumstances will likely push you to give to situations more than receive. So, take
