"Shameful" break-in at Legion
PG
some blood was left at the scene, as well as a grey Hurley baseball cap, similar to the one in the picture below.
“Breaking into a Legion on any day is low,” said Constable Harrison Mohr of the Sunshine Coast RCMP, “but breaking into a Legion on the night of Remembrance Day is really a shameful deed, and is an act of outright disrespect to our veterans and to those who serve our great country. The suspect involved will likely have injuries to their

hands or arms, and is believed to have worn a grey Hurley hat. We’re asking people to come forward with any tips about this break-in, so that we can quickly identify a suspect and help the Legion – and the community – to be at peace again.” RCMP are pursuing further avenues of investigation into this matter, including possible DNA analysis of the blood left at scene. If you have any information about this crime, please contact Sunshine Coast RCMP at (604) 885-2266, and reference file #15-7917, or if you want to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers, at 1-800222-TIPS.

Hours after a large crowd from the community gathered at the Roberts Creek Legion for a moving Remembrance Day ceremony, the very same Legion was targeted during a break and enter that night. Shortly before 4 am on November 12, the Roberts Creek Legion on Lower Road had one of its windows smashed out, and one of its exterior doors damaged during a break-in. A suspect or suspects forced their way into the building, and tried unsuccessfully to get into a liquor cabinet before fleeing the scene prior to police arrival. Nothing appears to have been taken.

The Local - Thursday, November 19, 2015
Editorial Opinion A safe home for the holidays It's the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also be the most dangerous due to home fires. The holiday season is approaching quickly, and with it typically comes many positive thoughts and memories. But unfortunately, the holiday season is also a time where preventable residential fires are on the rise. Nov. 24 - 30 is National Home Fire Safety Week, and the Canada Safety Council is reminding all Canadians that fire safety should be especially paramount in their minds as part of their holiday planning. During the holiday season, the fireplace in a home is not only a source of warmth but also a centrepiece for gatherings with family and friends. Like any home appliance, it should be safe, properly maintained, and good for the environment - inside and out. Ensure the area around the fireplace is free of debris. Debris like holiday decorations and wrapping paper can cause a fire if they are too close to the fireplace. Fire is often a central element of holiday celebrations, specifically surrounding fireplaces and candles. Open flames can be the catalyst to many problems if not tended to properly. Watch for the following steps you can take to keep celebratory flames from turning on you: • Do not leave open flames, including candles and fireplaces, unattended or smouldering. • Use a screen in front of your fireplace to avoid having sparks or embers flying your way. • Do not burn wrapping paper in the fireplace. Because of the way it is treated, it burns quickly and intensely which could result in a flash fire. • Keep candles away from flammable items such as curtains and trees, and ensure your candles stay on a stable, level surface. • Where possible, use battery-powered candles to avoid the risk of an open flame entirely. Cooking often accompanies the holiday season as families prepare special meals to mark the occasion. Be sure never to leave your cooking unattended, though, as this is the leading cause of kitchen fires. Use a timer to act as a reminder that the oven is on. Should fire catch, never turn on the overhead fan - it could spread the flames. Immediately call the fire department and leave your home if the fire can't be put out quickly. Ensure that your home is safe from fire this holiday season by following these tips: • If you're buying a real Christmas tree, be cautioned that dry trees are a fire hazard. Check that the tree is fresh by tapping it on the ground - if needles fall, it's an indicator that the tree is too dry. • For artificial trees, make sure yours is marked as 'fire resistant' and bears the Canadian Standards Association label. • Trees, artificial or real, should be kept away from heat sources including heat registers, fireplaces and floor heaters. • Metallic tree decorations should be avoided as well, since they could make contact with defective light wiring and become a shock hazard. • When leaving your home - even for a short period of time - be sure to unplug lights. The Canada Safety Council wishes you a happy, safe and calm holiday season. Submitted

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Just say no
(Sent to Peter Fassbinder, community development minister, and copied to the Local) With reference to The Town of Gibsons' application to transfer funds from its Parks Acquisition Fund; I am writing you to ask you to refuse their request. As a tax-paying citizen of this small but growing community, I know we will require more parks or expansion of existing ones in the near future. As of recently, October 6, our Mayor and council approved a huge development on our waterfront that abuts our waterfront park. This will diminish the park with huge shade, relocation of its band shell and huge reconfiguration of its sea walk with ramps etc. right in front of the view. This hotel gains our park as its grounds so to speak while we, the town, have to maintain it. The town also leased the water lot in front of the park to the development as well for a marina. The public, in the form of small watercraft, will no longer have access to this park. The park acquisition fund that the mayor and council want to transfer will be allocated to another development within steps of the hotel in the form of a public market. This is not a park! It is a tourist attraction. The big problem is we do not have the population to keep it going all winter. This means it will constantly be a drain on our town. I like to believe that public markets evolve like the one on Salt Spring Island. This one is being built with the hope that vendors will fill it. Not a good business plan and a bad investment for public money. I liken it to the fast ferry fiasco. Please say “no” to releasing or transferring these funds. Judith Bonkoff, Gibsons
Climate march
Sunshine Coasters will join millions around the world in
the Global Climate March in Vancouver at 1 pm on Sunday, Nov. 29 starting from the Vancouver Art Gallery on Georgia Street. These marches will occur just hours before world leaders meet at the UN Paris Climate Summit – COP21. Concerned citizens will fill their streets in some 2,000 marches around the world, setting out people-powered demands for the world we want and need. The key demands will be that COP21 come up with a treaty strong enough to keep the carbon in the ground and inclusive of financial arrangements for a transition to a clean energy future that is fair to all. To let the world know that Canada is again prepared to accept our global responsibilities, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invited the provincial and territorial Premiers as well as federal opposition leaders to join him at the Paris Climate Summit. The Coastal Climate Convergence, a new citizens action group including the Alliance 4 Democracy, Sunshine Coast Conservation Association, Sunshine Coast Community Solar Association and the Sunshine Coast Senior Citizens invites Sunshine Coasters to join the march in Vancouver. We are arranging with West Vancouver Transit to schedule extra Blue Buses to transport people from Horseshoe Bay to downtown Vancouver from both the 8:50 am and 11:30 am Langdale/Horseshoe Bay sailings, and take them back to Horseshoe Bay at the end of the march for either the 5:30 pm or 7:25 pm sailings to Langdale. Your participation in the Global Climate March Vancouver will help send a strong message to our representatives in Paris that Canadians care deeply about our planet and that we expect Canada to take a bold leadership role in addressing climate change both at home and internationally. For more information and

A Chamber win
As I boarded the plane to Ottawa for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM last month, I really felt like a little fish going into a big pond. Our policies were the only ones of their kind, meaning they were more “green” leaning (advocating federal action on renewable energy and on combatting climate change). Many of the proposed policy submissions related to big business, international trade, GMOs in agriculture, nuclear energy, taxation, border crossing and pipeline expansion. I decided that I had to limit myself to research and participate in only a few of the issues. I went prepared to speak to the GMO policy submitted by the Red Deer and Alberta Chamber of Commerce and the Nuclear Energy policy submitted by the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and the Energy East Pipeline Policy submitted by the Peterborough and St. John Chambers. On the first morning of the event, the Ontario and Alberta Caucuses called me to their Chambers to discuss some of their concerns with the content of our policies. We were able to work together to massage the wording without losing the intent of the policy. When our policies were called to the floor, they passed almost unanimously. It was a huge victory for our little Chamber! It was democracy in action. The entire experience was invigorating and I can hardly wait until next year. Kim Darwin, president, Sechelt & District Chamber of Commerce

Coast property sales and prices going up The real estate market has been heating up on the Sunshine Coast, according to the latest figures from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. Statistics for the 12 months up to the end of October showed a 25-per-cent increase in sales over the same period a year earlier, said Kate McQuaid, of Royal LePage Sussex. “We’re all seeing more sold signs than we’ve seen for a while.” But as properties are getting scooped up, they aren`t currently being replaced at the same rate by others coming onto the market. “One of the things we’re experiencing right now is a lack of inventory, between October of this year and October of last year,” McQuaid said. “We’re
down about 36 per cent in the number of detached homes we have—421 homes right now, whereas last year at this time there were 658. “That (421 homes) sounds like a lot, but that’s including everything from a mobile home in a park for $50,000 up to a $2-million waterfront. We have a really diverse variety of homes for sale here. It’s been a real challenge to find homes for buyers these days.” One possible consequence of the lower inventory could be the spike in land prices, which are up a whopping 113 per cent. “That could be from a lot of people looking for a home and they haven’t been able to find it, so they’ve moved on to buying land and building. So that’s good for housing starts and the construction indus-
try,” said McQuaid. The figures also showed that along with higher sales are higher prices, with an overall increase of 7.5 per cent. The median price is about $410,000, meaning that half the properties being offered for sale are below that point and the other half are above it. The most active segment of the market right now is in the lower half, McQuaid noted. “The hottest price range continues to be between $300,000 and $400,000,” she said. But that’s not to say the higher end isn’t seeing action, too. “We’ve had more than 30 sales at over $1 million this year, so we’re getting lots of activity,” said McQuaid. Rik Jespersen
A vision for the future of SSC Properties’ mixed commercial and residential development on East Porpoise Bay is now emerging, following several months of public consultation. SSC principals Mark Sager and Werner Hofstatter revealed some of the concepts for the 170-hecatre (420acre) property during an appearance before Sechelt’s Advisory Planning Commission (APC) Nov. 12, in the first official step in the company’s quest for rezoning approval from the District. Although SSC is asking for zoning that would allow 1,360 residential units, Sager told the APC that the company foresees just a fraction of that number being built, perhaps as few as 400. The current zoning of the property allows 1,600 units. Also envisioned over the next 15 to 20 years are an international secondary school; hotel/resort; artisan-focused live-work area; mixed-use commercial and residential
area; agriculture area; community gardens; waterfront walkway; trail network; parks and open space; eco-education and adventure centre; and seniors independent, supportive and assisted living units. “What we are trying to capture on this large parcel of land is really the best of the Sunshine Coast, something that will create an energy and a reason to say, ‘this where we want to live,’” Sager told the commission. “There would be distinctly different neighbourhoods that capture a variety of different markets.” Sager said the school could be modelled on two exclusive institutions on Vancouver Island, Shawnigan Lake School and Brentwood College School. He said another neighbourhood, tentatively called Foxwood, could look much like the cohousing development in Roberts Creek (where 31 freehold units sit on 20 acres of property legally structured as a “bare-land strata”).
But Foxwood could be developed with smaller, more affordable houses. “Our goal would be to have homes under $250,000,” said Sager. Higher-end homes would be built above a proposed zone of small-scale agricultural or five-acre pastoral lots. When asked at the hearing what SSC expects might be developed first, Sager suggested an area dubbed Artisan Place, which is 25, mixed-size live/ work where residents, “would be creating home-based products for sale in the local market and globally.” Another project that could come early in the timeline is a boutique hotel, “a community focal point.” reminiscent of the Sooke Harbour Hotel on Vancouver Island or the Hotel Eldorado in Kelowna, Sager said. SSC has scheduled a public meeting at the Seaside Centre in Sechelt from 6-8 pm Nov. 24 to hear comments on the current development proposals. Rik Jespersen

I was honoured to represent our community on November 11 and lay a wreath of remembrance on behalf of the District of Sechelt. The importance of respect for service and of community memory – Lest We Forget/ We will remember them – have been uppermost in my mind in recent days. Heartfelt thanks to President Kay Metcalfe and the membership of Royal Canadian Legion Branch #140 for organizing Remembrance Day ceremonies in Sechelt. Thanks also to Principal Marshall, the staff and students of Kinnikinnick Elementary for including Council in your observances on November 10. These public demonstrations of respect for the sacrifices of those who have gone before us are essential to maintaining the community we value. In our 2016 budget, Council is looking to address a very different but also very important need to show respect to

our residents and our community. Over 90 per cent of Sechelt’s annual tax revenue is funded from residential property. Through Council decisions on the 2016 Budget, we are making plans to spend the money we collect from citizens and residents. We believe that what you want in return for your tax dollars is community infrastructure that works well. Roads that are safe and driveable; drainage systems that address water issues; sidewalks, pathways, trails, bike paths and scooter lanes located where they are needed. These types of services are the backbone of why local government exists and why property taxes are paid. Much of Sechelt’s basic infrastructure is in need of repair or expansion to meet demands. While new development does pay for infrastructure in the area where the growth is happening, an expanding population also means more vehicles on existing roads. It means more people accessing our parks and visiting our Library, more demands for pedestrian routes to connect neighbourhoods and more calls for Dis-
trict services, be those bylaw enforcement, records, or development planning. This is not to say that programing in the ‘softer’ service areas, such as community grants, arts and culture or communications will be ignored in the coming year. It does mean that the 2016 budget will look at things that need to be done in Sechelt to maintain and deliver core services. To help us focus our work plans we invite residents to attend an E-town Hall on the subject of our draft 2016 budget on Monday, Dec. 7, at 7pm. The meeting will be held in the Community Meeting Room and will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel. The draft budget will be available online and at the District Office in advance of the meeting. Council and staff look forward to the opportunity to make a cooperative financial plan for 2016, which will be our 30th Anniversary as a District and 50 years since incorporation as a Village. We are well into middle age – a time to put our financial house in order and ensure we are prepared for the decades to come.

This fall, staff will be submitting work plans for the 2016 budget. These budget submissions must conform to the strategic plan now in place. Staff and directors are gratified to have received many compliments from constituents on the strategic plan and its focus on mandated SCRD services. Currently, the SCRD staff and board are working on implementing several aspects of the plan. For example, staff and directors are establishing improved communication with both the Sechelt (Shíshálh) and Squamish (Skwxwu7mesh) Nations at all levels in each organization. Directors recently met with the Squamish Nation at their council chambers in North Vancouver to discuss a protocol agreement and other com-
mon issues on the Sunshine Coast. The major focus was on the resource industry activities in the Howe Sound area. There will be an official signing of the protocol with the Squamish Nation on the Sunshine Coast in February 2016. Following the strategic plan, staff is also working on asset management in order to give the board direction on maintaining facilities and infrastructure to a level that is safe and secure for the community. Meanwhile, members of the SCRD board are initiating a regional economic development program. A steering committee has the task of reviewing the funding model, which a committee of volunteers will follow as part of running the program. The steering committee is also responsible for recruiting volunteers from the community and will be submitting pertinent information to the local media. It is not yet clear which areas of economic development the volunteer committee will handle, but support of small business and marketing the Sunshine Coast
are likely to be priorities. The strategic plan also calls for streamlining of SCRD meetings, and staff and directors are analyzing current procedures with a view to increasing their efficiency. The board and staff are additionally checking the terms of reference of advisory groups to ensure clarity of direction and focus so that time put in by volunteers is as effective as possible. During October the board approved recommendations for immediate improvements to SCRD water infrastructure. The aim is never to have another summer like that of 2015, with the imposition of stage four water restrictions for parts of the Coast. Please contact me at 604741-2427 or e-mail me at garry.nohr@scrd.ca if you wish to discuss SCRD programs or plans. I will meet you at the Welcome Woods market, Halfmoon Bay store, or the SCRD Field Road office; please contact me to make an appointment.
The Board of Education (SD 46) has approved Monday, Jan. 4, 2016 (the day after winter break) and Tuesday, March 29, 2016 (the day after the twoweek Spring Break and Easter Monday) as non-instructional days. Students will not attend school on those days. These two non-instruction-
al days will support our district’s teachers as they learn the new curriculum, and result from the reduction - by the Ministry of Education - of instructional time by 10 hours. Also, the school district presented a high priority request for a boiler plant replacement at Madeira Park Elementary
School and has been granted up to $453,750 for this purpose from the ministry. By removing the existing propane boiler, the facility will see a carbon footprint reduction of 85 per cent by reducing its emissions from 26.9 tonnes of CO2 (tCO2e) to 4.1 tCO2e annually. Submitted

To mark this year’s RBC Sports Day in Canada — a national celebration of sport — the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) is hosting an “RBC Sports Day on the Coast” open house on Sat., Nov. 21. With funding from the RBC Sports Day in Canada grant, the SCRD is hosting an open house at the Gibsons and Area Community Centre on Nov. 21 from 10 am to 2 pm. Local sports organizations will be presenting and providing information about their programs, as well as opportunities to try various sports. Following the open house there will be a free public skate. “Sport participation is on the decline in Canada, particularly among youth aged 15 to 18,” says Adrianne Gadd, SCRD Recreation Program Coordinator. “Celebrations such as RBC Sports Day in Canada are a great way for individuals to get moving and they act as a great reminder to participate in sport on a daily basis.” Schedules and additional information are available at www.scrd.ca/ SCRD-Recreation.

can Christianity come of age as a vital contemplative wisdom path for the 21st century, drawing on the wisdom of other faith traditions? Does this mean knowing more or knowing deeper? Is the institutional church becoming obsolete? These and other questions will be addressed by the Rev. Matthew Wright, a writer, retreat leader and past presenter at the annual Science and Non-Duality Conferences in California. At the age of 30 he is rapidly emerging as a leading light in the field of interspirituality. Admission by donation ($10 to $15 suggested). Free for all full-time students. Submitted

Connect. That’s one thing that we aim to do here at the Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives. By collecting and exhibiting items related to local history, we want to connect you with this place you call home, and with the stories and people who went before us. Now, through our Adopt an Artifact fundraising campaign, you have a unique opportunity to connect with a specific artifact, one that may have special meaning to you, a family member or friend. We have hand-picked over 30 unique, priceless and intriguing Museum artifacts and made them available to adopt for varying donation levels (these levels do not infer the actual value of the artifact). For each level, you will be acknowledged with a variety of rewards — from a unique adoption certificate with a photograph of the artifact, to a behind the scenes “meet and greet” with the Curator and your chosen object. The artifact you choose to adopt will remain at the museum for continued preservation, while your donation will help fund the museum’s accessibil-

These renovations will include the creation of a wheelchair-accessible, family-friendly washroom, and the installation of a platform lift to the second floor. What might you adopt? From the Beachcombers television show, Relic’s toque is up for adoption, as well as his iconic plaid jacket. Both items were worn by Robert Clothier during the filming of many classic Beachcombers episodes. For a child (or the child-at-heart), there is the High-flying Acrobatic
Monkey, a tin toy from the 1940s. With a turn of the key, a wind-up motor propels the acrobatic monkey through the air in flips and summersaults. For the writer in the family, there’s the Underwood typewriter which was owned by the Howe Sound Woman’s Institute who built the Heritage Playhouse. Perhaps one of the most personal items to adopt is George Gibsons’ walking cane, an amazing artifact from our collection considering that the cane was hand carved, likely by Gibsons

Thursday, Nov. 19 sees the launch of two new works by local Sunshine Coast writers John Pass and Joe Denham. John Pass reads from his new book, Forecast: Selected Poems 1970 – 1990, a collection of early and out of print works, published by Harbour Publishing. “I’m delighted to see these out of print poems live and breathe again, ”enthuses Pass. Pass has been crafting poetry for 40 years, written 16 books of poetry, and has won numerous awards for his work, including the Governor General’s Award for Poetry in 2006 for Stumbling in the Bloom. “Poetry becomes a way of thinking inseparable from my sense of self," says Pass. “If I don’t write I lose track of my most thoughtful, most empathetic and most interesting self.” Pass lives near Sakinaw Lake where he still writes poetry and runs High Ground Press, a publisher of letterpress editions of poetry broadsheets. “No money in it to speak of,” says Pass of being a poet. “But great pleasure in the discipline and delights of the genre, and lots of good company. I knew from the beginning a day job would be an essential adjunct to writing.” So why write poetry at all? “It’s the world’s best voice,” he claims.
John Pass, above, reads with Joe Denham Thur. Nov 19 at 7pm at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre. On Sat. Nov 21 from 1-4pm an event commemorating the publication of L.R. Wright’s The Suspect takes place at the Sechelt Public Library. KEITH SHAW PHOTO Joe Denham, who lives in Halfmoon Bay with his wife and two children, will be launching his new work, Regeneration Machine, published by Nightwood Editions. The author of two previous books of poetry, Flux and Windstorm, Denham's poetry has been described by Quill & Quire as "complex enough to mirror the contradictions and ambivalences of life.” John Pass and Joe Denham read from their new works at 7pm at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre. On Saturday, Nov. 21 from 1-4pm, Friends of the Sechelt Public Library are hosting an event to commemorate

as he speculates on what could happen if a solution to the world’s energy needs fell into the right—or wrong— pocket. Goodnight Sunshine is scheduled to be released on Nov. 26. Cameron will be reading from his novel at the Gibsons Public Library on Saturday, Dec. 5 at 2pm. Submitted
the 30th anniversary of L.R. Wright’s publication of her first novel, The Suspect. The Suspect won the prestigious Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel from the Mystery Writers of America, making Wright the first Canadian to win an Edgar. Her mystery novels put Sechelt on the crime map, at least fictionally,
and featured dedicated RCMP Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg and local librarian Cassandra Mitchell. Wright wrote nine Alberg mysteries, all highly rated, creating a devoted fan following in the process. There will be a cake at the library, a raffle of a Wright book set, and a special mystery to solve. All are welcome.

Tip of the Week: The big news now is the fact that the Lunar Nodes have entered Virgo and Pisces where they will remain for the next 18 months. This ingress occurred on November 12. Although subtle at first, the influence of this cycle becomes increasing apparent even a couple of weeks in and sometimes right away. The transit of the Moon’s Nodes is a strong indicator of where and how we will each learn important lessons for our spiritual evolutionary growth. The North Node in Virgo indicates a basic theme of focusing to make the dream a reality so that it becomes manifest, tangible and realistic. That one person’s or group’s success or dream can prove to be another’s loss or nightmare represents the eternal complexity of life. The South Node in Pisces indicates dreams and ideals which otherwise remain eternally on a wish list. But Virgo is an Earth element sign and moves us to take deliberate, measurable and concrete action. The terrorist action that occurred on November 13 in France may be cited as an example of this shift and collective turn of the karmic dial. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, Chiron and Vesta. Each of these ‘planets’ (Chiron is considered a minor planet or planetoid and Vesta is an asteroid) will play key roles over the next year and a half FOR both inBYour Charts and R HOME OWNEBirth FOR SALE SALE BY by transit.

This is a summons to realize new levels of maturity. Conducting yourself with integrity and respect for the genuine needs of others constitutes an important test. As well, cultivating a deep sense of loyalty to collective causes will enter the spotlight. Capricorn (Dec 21–Jan 19) Making key commitments and living up to them will prove important for you with the North Node in Virgo. Devotion to higher ideals and what constitutes your higher mind is featured. You are destined to see a much bigger picture and the implications of decisions and trends made in the present spanning far into the future. Guided by solid and enduring principles and ethics will become your motto. Aquarius (Jan 19–Feb 19) Incorporating deep and dynamic levels of change into your life will emerge as an important theme over the coming 18 months. You could even feel the need to ‘let go and let God’. Honoring the notion that change is the law and that adhering to it requires maintaining a firm point of center within your own being could prove pivotal. Focus to give and receive, nurture and be nurtured. Pisces (Feb 19–Mar 20) Seeing others more fully, recognizing their individuality and their genuine and
