“We keep it dry”

The crash of Silas White’s political career – at least for now – involved the crash of an automobile he was driving. White (shown here in a smiling campaign photo) works as a publisher and editor, and has served nine years on the school board – including six as the chair – and four years as a Gibsons councillor.

Evidence of White’s political clout could be seen in the fact that when he declared his candidacy for mayor, no one else ran. White was days away from being acclaimed as Gibsons mayor in September when he suddenly withdrew, citing problems of “poor judgement” following a concussion caused by a cycling accident two months earlier. Now, White says the poor judgement was a factor in the car accident on Sept. 16. As a result of that accident, White has been charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm. See story page 2.

Silas White charged with impaired driving

Gibsons voters have learned in the past week new information as to why Silas White is not their new mayor.

RCMP announced Nov. 2 that White has been charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm following a single-vehicle accident.

White, a former school board chair and a sitting councillor in Gibsons, became,

in effect, the mayor-elect on Friday, Sept. 14, when no one else was nominated. He had only to wait until Sept. 24 before it became official.

But on Sunday, Sept. 16, at 10:55pm, White was driving when the car went off the road and down an embankment on Gower Point Rd. near 12th Street in Gibsons. “Three occupants of the vehicle were

all taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries,� the RCMP said Nov. 2. “The male driver was taken into custody on suspicion of impaired driving and processed and released.�

Following a series of phone calls and emails with the Local on Sept. 17 and 18 – which White asked be off the record – he told the Local he had withdrawn from the mayoralty “due to health and personal reasons.�

The next day, White released a formal statement linking his health concerns with a cycling fall on July 1, in which he suffered a concussion. “Like many concussions, it did not seem serious at first, but as time went on severe after-effects and other stress emerged,� White said. “My doctor has told me I should take a complete break from stressful activities to permit healing. My first mistake was in not heeding this advice and trying to carry on, which only caused my condition to worsen and has led to a compounding series of problems and poor judgement. I now know that for the good of myself, my family and the Town, I must turn this course around by following the medical advice to concentrate on healing – and as privately as possible, not as your mayor.�

The RCMP first reported the accident in a press re-

lease – without names – on Sept. 19, noting that “alcohol is suspected as a contributing factor�.

Then, on Nov. 2, the RCMP announced: “On Oct. 24, Mr. Silas David White was charged with Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle Causing Bodily Harm contrary to Section 255(2) of the Criminal Code of Canada, and Care and Control of a motor vehicle with blood alcohol in excess of 80 mg and did cause an accident resulting in bodily harm contrary to Section 255(2.1) of the Criminal Code of Canada.�

After the police made the charges public, White issued a statement: “The last four months have been an unimaginably dark time in my life‌. I had not been charged with anything at that time (in September) but the accident clearly illustrated to me and my loved ones that my judgement that evening was severely compromised by my brain injury. I felt I owed it to myself, my family and my community to concentrate on my ongoing recovery and medical treatment, and eventually face the consequences of the accident, as a private citizen rather than pressing on as a public official‌I have engaged legal counsel and hope to have these charges resolved as quickly as possible.â€?

What are we voting on?

It was supposed to be a joke, but some people weren’t laughing. After a number of drivers who received these misspelled “voilationâ€? tickets and complained to police, the RCMP issued a scam alert Nov. 5 and asked for information. OďŹƒcers soon found the culprit, a downtown Sechelt businessman, who insisted it was a joke. RCMP accepted that explanation, but a spokesperson said the instructions on how to pay originally led to a PayPal site that could have taken money. There is lots evidence that it was a joke, however, including an absurd list of oences, the spelling of “Seashellâ€? and fine print at the bottom that says “this ticket is for entertainment purposes onlyâ€?.

Distracted dad On Nov. 4, a witness reported a possible impaired driver swerving all over the road, crossing into the on-coming lane and back again, southbound in the 5700 block of Highway 101, Sechelt. Police located the suspect vehicle and spoke with the unimpaired driver. The driver

advised that he kept looking backwards to check on his baby that was in the rear seat. It appears every time the driver looked backwards, he yanked the steering wheel to the side. The driver was warned about the potential consequences of distracted driving. Submitted by RCMP

At around 4am on October 31, a suspect gained entry to vehicles parked at a residence in the 600 block of Leek Road, Roberts Creek.

The residents were wakened

by their dog barking and discovered that the doors to the vehicles were left open. The suspect rummaged through the interiors but did not steal anything. Submitted by RCMP

An application by the Healing Hut to become a government-approved pot shop is on the agenda for Gibsons council. The shop in lower Gibsons could become the first legal retailer of recreational pot on the Coast. PHOTO SUBMITTED holders can apply to renew their permit once.

Rainforest Compassion Club and S&M Medicinal Sweet Shoppe have also applied and are awaiting decisions on TUP applications for cannabis stores in Gibsons.

Both already have Gibsons business licences.

If licensed by the LCRB, the products the Healing Hut sells will change. “We would be selling a regulated product that we would purchase from approved government suppliers. It will be packaged and labelled in a way that provides customers more complete information on what they are buying,” said Harris.

Sechelt has received two LCRB referrals. It is postponing responses until its zoning and business licence bylaws for cannabis dispensaries are in place.

“A municipality has veto power upon receipt of notification of an LCRB referral and can also put applications on hold,” said Julie Rogers, Sechelt’s communications manager.

Sechelt has adopted “non-medical marijuana retail” as a new type of land use in its zoning bylaw. It has not applied the new classification to any properties. In September, it issued TUPs to Wee Medical, Weeds Glass and Gifts, and 420 Hemp and

Sunshine Extracts and Concentrates for the locations that they currently occupy.

Rogers said TUPs were issued to give existing operations the chance to apply for the provincial licences needed to become legal retailers.

Sechelt Fire Department, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Association input was considered in these TUP decisions.

Rogers noted that Sechelt is looking to give its new council the opportunity to form policy on cannabis retailing within its jurisdiction.

Along with seeking community input on individual LCRB cannabis store licence applications, there may be consultation on bylaw changes for business licensing of such retailers.

Wee Medical and Weeds Glass and Gifts applied for business licences for their downtown Sechelt locations in 2016. Both were denied, as retailing of cannabis was not legal at that time. Sechelt’s bylaws prohibit operating a retail store without a business licence. These bylaws are enforced on a ‘by complaint’ basis. Rogers noted that no citizens or other businesses filed complaints about the outlets operating without business licences.

District of Sechelt Memo_04162015 3X7.25_PROOF

Three Coast shops selling cannabis have provincial licence applications at the referral stage. Despite non-medical marijuana use becoming legal for adults on Oct. 17, no Coast retailers are licensed to sell the product.

One shop is closer to legal status than the others. Coastal Bay Cannabis’ application to BC’s Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) has been referred to the Town of Gibsons. The firm operates the Healing Hut on Marine Drive in Gibsons.

Notification of an LCRB application is provided to the local government area in which the proposed outlet is located. The local government can decline to respond.

This stops the application and the licence is not issued.

If local government chooses to respond, its recommendation must be developed in consultation with its community. A local authority can recommend that the LCRB deny or approve an application.

It can recommend approval subject to conditions.

Gibsons plans to start the review of the Healing Hut application at its Nov. 20 meeting. Lesley Ann Staats, the Town’s director of planning, said that neighbours within 100 metres of the Healing Hut location will be notified in writing. Council will provide an opportunity for individuals to provide input prior to making its decision.

Coastal Bay Cannabis applied to the LCRB in August.

Brenda Harris, co-owner of the business said she anticipates the application will receive a positive review. The firm’s Healing Hut store already has a Gibsons business licence and, as of Oct. 2, has a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) for its current location.

A TUP was needed as Gibsons’ zoning bylaw prohibits cannabis stores in all zones.

Those who want to retail the product must apply to rezone a specific location for that use. Council will review such applications on a caseby-case basis. TUPs are valid for up to three years. Permit

Editorial Opinion

Be armed, get the shot A new flu season is upon us, and Vancouver Coastal Health is reminding people vaccines continue to be the best way for people to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Flu shots are now available at Vancouver Coastal Health Public Health clinics, your doctor’s office, walk-in clinics and pharmacies. To find a flu clinic near you, visit the ImmunizeBC website at immunizebc.ca.

“Every year, approximately 3,500 people die from the flu in Canada and the vast majority are usually seniors,” said Vancouver Coastal Health Medical Health Officer Dr. Emily Newhouse.

2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the 1918 influenza pandemic that infected 500 million people worldwide and resulted in the death of 50 – 100 million people globally. Commonly known as the Spanish Flu, the pandemic decimated three to five per cent of the world’s population, making it one of the deadliest disease outbreaks in human history.

The centenary of the Spanish flu reminds us how far we have come with vaccines that protect individuals and help stop the spread, but the flu season continues to be a serious health threat each year.

“History has shown us how quickly the influenza virus can spread. By getting your shot you are not only protecting yourself, but also the people around you who may not be able to protect themselves,” said Dr. Newhouse.

Flu shots are recommended for everyone six months of age and older. They are available free of cost in BC to those at increased risk of complications and death from influenza, including all children between six months and five years old, seniors 65 years and older, people of any age in long-term care facilities, Indigenous people, those with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems, and anyone who visits a health care facility is eligible for a free vaccine.

Pregnant women are also eligible for free vaccine.

“When the flu shot is given during pregnancy, it has been shown to protect both the mother and her developing baby from serious flu-related complications,” said Dr. Newhouse.

“These antibodies help to protect the baby from the flu in the infant’s first six months of life. Pregnant women are more prone to developing severe illness from flu due to changes in the heart, lungs and immune system during pregnancy. A pregnant woman who gets the flu also gets sicker than others, and has a greater chance of premature labour and delivery.”

Vancouver Coastal Health medical health officers recommend everyone 65 years and older to receive influenza vaccine; talk to your healthcare providers or local pharmacists about which influenza vaccine is best for you.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Customer service?

(Addressed to BC Ferries, and copied to the Local) On Thursday, Nov.1, I attempted to purchase a ticket for the 2:10pm ferry at 2:02pm. I was told ticket sales were cut off. I pointed out that the ferry had not finished loading as it was running late but was refused a ticket. In the past, I have been able to purchase a ticket when the ferry was late but was told the ferry was leaving immediately.

The ferry left the dock at 2:23pm, 21 minutes after I was refused a sale. There was ample time for me to buy a ticket and walk to the waiting room.

I am in full agreement with the policy to cut off sales 10 minutes before sailing, however not before the scheduled sailing time when clearly there is time for passengers to get to the waiting room.

Please explain to me how you consider this good customer service.

Sandra Cunningham, Gibsons

Abject betrayal

(Addressed to MLA Nicholas Simons, and copied to the Local) It is now 18 months since the NDP took power in British Columbia. Prior to the election the party opposed privatized senior care, condemned the VCH-Trellis deal and vowed to begin a process of stakeholder engagement.

Since taking office your government has broken all its pre-election promises.

Minister Dix has thrown his support behind a proposed contract involving Trellis and the Sechelt Indian Band. Stakeholder groups remain shut out and the chronic bed shortage grows worse monthly.

We recognize that these are not your decisions, but are deeply concerned by the softening of your position on private care. Prior to the

election you repeatedly denounced private care in all its forms as harmful both to the quality of care and the economic health of the community. Since then, you have offered no more forceful condemnation of the Trellis-SIB deal than to suggest that it doesn’t “entirely” address public concerns about privatization.

We also take exception to your reluctance to, as you put it in a January meeting at Sechelt Library, “beat up on government.” As constituents, may we suggest that when the government pursues policies completely at odds with positions on which you ran, that’s exactly your place. The abject betrayal of our interests demands a forceful response.

As Protect Public Health Care’s (PPHC) 10,000-signature petition campaign showed, no issue is more important to our community than protecting public care. Given the current seat count in the Legislature, the prospect of having a member leave government to sit as an independent could carry tremendous political weight. We urge you to unequivocally affirm your opposition to privatization and take whatever steps are necessary to help safeguard quality, publicly owned and operated care on the Sunshine Coast.

Wendy Hunt, chair PPHC - Sunshine Coast

Leash your cat

(Re “Keep your cat inside”, the Local, Oct. 25) Recently, the World Wildlife Fund reported our planet has lost 60 per cent of its wildlife since 1970, and the trend is worsening.

Sixty-nine per cent of some bird populations have disappeared. This is extremely depressing news, so it was with gratitude I saw the District of Sechelt’s request that cat owners keep their cats indoors.

According to one cred-

ible study, “free-roaming cats are responsible for the deaths of an estimated average of 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion mammals (squirrels, mice, voles, etc) every year.” As a cat-lover myself, I understand the feeling that it is unnatural, or even cruel, to keep cats indoors. But not so long ago many people felt the same way about spaying and neutering our pets. We now realize the benefits to pet health and longevity provided by spaying and neutering. Hopefully the day will come when it will be the norm for all cats to spend long, healthy, happy lives indoors, safe from predators and disease. After all, domestic cats are not a species native to North America. And leashes aren’t just for dogs anymore.

It may seem silly to imagine, but already many cats are enjoying hikes through the forest in a harness and on leash, strengthening the bond between themselves and their owners.

Amy Brooks, Gibsons

Dart-board politics The BC government is requesting a vote on a change to the election of representatives in the Legislature.

The current information

by Elections BC does not specify how the proposed Proportional Representation systems will alter the elected results, by example.

It seems that a portion of selected votes will be attributed to the parties who then select candidates for Regional MLAs. The result will be a Representative voted within the selected party, not a person selected by my vote. This is contrary to my right to have a selected individual represent me and allows for party selection based purely on a political direction from within.

Anyone opting for any of the proportional options

should be aware that countries that have this type of elected Government are very likely to have significantly increased representational costs as well as unstable government.

Italy has a proportional representation system and has experienced 18 prime ministers in the last 10 years. Who but the taxpayer ends up footing the bill for continuous elections? If this is what the public of BC endorse in their ignorance of results, we will pay dearly.

Melanie Mark, BC Minister of Advanced Education, who has a degree in political science, did not consider herself an expert in electoral representation, and declined to expand on questions regarding the proposed reform options.

This leaves the decision to the electorate, who for the most part will not have the expertise to understand the outcomes of their vote.

Will Elections BC please send me a dart board to assist a vote that I cannot know in advance who the representatives will be.

Staying with First Past the Post (FPTP) is the only credible option of selecting your candidate to represent you.

Bud Hoffman, West Sechelt

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the Editor should be sent by e-mail to editor@thelocalweekly.ca.

The deadline is Monday at 10am for that week’s paper. Generally, letters should not exceed 300 words. And all letters must be signed, include the writer’s community of residence and (not for publication) telephone number. Letters may be edited for a variety of reasons.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions ...letters continued Collaborative system The last four elections in BC from May, 2005 up to our last election in May, 2017 have all been using the current electoral system of “First Past the Post” (FPTP).

Now we are given an opportunity to change the system to Proportional Representation (PR) The results of these four elections have been somewhat consistent in the distribution of the popular vote. The Liberals have averaged 44.03 per cent, the NDP have averaged 40.92 per cent, followed by the Green Party with a 10.59-per-cent average.

However, using FPTP, the results of the elections in 2005, 2009 and 2013 resulted in a Liberal majority with 100 per cent of the power and the NDP forming the official opposition. Suffice it to say, that 40 per cent of the will of the people had 100 per cent of the power and 60 per cent of the will of the people was relegated to the official opposition.

When people say that “nothing will get done” under PR, consider the fact that both major parties (Liberal & NDP) represent 85 per cent of the voters in BC, and that when faced with producing results for their respective constituents, a PR system would encourage co-operation with each other. The government

would now focus on issues rather than toeing the party line.

The complaint that we will not get to elect our own MLA is simply not true. Each of the proposed PR systems allows voters to choose a MLA of their choice, with the added benefit that if a political party receives enough votes overall, then the number of MLA’s would be topped up according to the popular vote.

A PR method will result in a fair collaborative system, where the voices and the will of the people will be reflected in the number of MLA’s elected for each party.

John Bebbington, Sechelt

Alphabet politics FPTP? DMP? MMP? RUP? What kind of game are they playing with us? If you don’t understand what you are being asked to vote on, they say you should go on line to elections.bc.ca/referendum or call 1 800-661 8683.

Try it. You will certainly be no wiser. The staff who manage the voting must know what they are dishing out but the explanations of what we, normal working people, will accomplish by voting one way or the other are overwhelmingly complicated and difficult to understand.

The package gives large sized text details on how to fill in the form and detailed information on how to put it in the envelopes and the date by which it should be submitted in order for it to be accepted.

This voting systems package has made me realize that most of our votes are not wanted. They are expecting us to throw the whole thing in the recycling box.

Young folks with political knowledge and bright minds will vote for what they think is right, and hopefully it will be what is best for us as well.

Sandra Sharkey, Sechelt

Be sure to vote First, if you have not received your ballot for the referendum on proportional representation by Nov. 5, you can pick one up at the Service BC office, 102 – 5710 Teredo Street ( 604885-5187). Take two pieces of identification.

Second, read all the directions and realize it is extremely important to answer question 1. Question 2 is optional.

Check your Voter’s Guide from Elections BC which you should have received some time ago (available at Service BC if you haven’t).

Be informed and VOTE. Ted Leathley, Sechelt

Pull of the Tide Pam GoldsmithJones MP, West Vancouver Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky Country

Congratulations to the newly elected mayors and councillors on the Sunshine Coast, and I’d like to thank Gibsons Mayor Wayne Rowe and Sechelt Mayor Bruce

Milne for their service to the community. Both took a highly constructive approach toward the numerous projects we undertook together.

I look forward to continuing in the same spirit with newly elected Gibsons Mayor Bill Beamish and Sechelt Mayor Darnelda Siegers and their councils. The Sunshine Coast Regional District also has an entirely new board, and we

Nicholas Simons, MLA

will meet as soon as possible.

The local election outcomes provide an ideal time to reflect on the value of open lines of communication and a common understanding of priorities between all levels of government, so that local and regional goals are connected to federal policy, partnership and funding opportunities.

Across West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country, there are eight local governments. A full seven out of the eight have new mayors. All eight of our municipalities overlap

and can work in mutually reinforcing ways. Please take time to get to know the mayors of the region: West Vancouver Mayor MaryAnn Booth, Bowen Island Mayor Gary Ander, Lions Bay Mayor Ron McLaughlin, Squamish Mayor Susan Elliott, Whistler Mayor Jack Compton, and the one constant in this election, returning Pemberton Mayor Mike Richman. We are all part of one team.

Lucie McKiernan on our staff is in the process of organizing one-on-one meetings with mayors, and we will also have roundtable meet-

NOV 8TH - DEC 2ND

ings with councils and the regional district so that we can share full information in areas where our two levels of government intersect – housing, infrastructure investment, fisheries and oceans, the arts, cannabis legislation, seniors, BC Ferries and Community Futures are a few examples.

It’s interesting to me how disparate parts of our riding share similar challenges.

In Pemberton and Egmont, for example, access to high speed high quality internet has been an ongoing challenge. Through the Connect to Innovate funding program, Pemberton’s service has improved considerably. Now we tackle Egmont!

Last week Community Futures held its annual conference in Ottawa. I dropped into the evening reception to thank them for their support of the Gibsons Public Market.

The chair for Community Futures is from Nanaimo, and she was thrilled to have an update on GPM. From West Howe Sound to Egmont, from Nanaimo to Ottawa, the Sunshine Coast shines brightly.

Please visit: www.pgoldsmithjones.liberal.ca for more information. I welcome your thoughts - Email me: pam.goldsmith-jones@ parl.gc.ca, connect with us on Facebook: Pamela Goldsmith-Jones, or drop by our office in Horseshoe Bay, 6367 Bruce Street 604-913-2660.

Real Estate Market Minute

Tony Browton RE/MAX City Realty

I couldn’t be prouder or more excited that our office is taking over the administration of the Sunshine Coast Elves Club in this, its 50th anniversary year.

Lynn Nestman, the driving force of the Elves Club for the past six years, will continue to be involved but my colleagues and I at RE/MAX City Realty Gibsons will be raising money and distributing gift certificates this Christmas.

What was once turkey dinners and Christmas hampers has evolved into gift cards and gift certificates that ensures no one goes without.

Donate online through the Elves Club website or purchase gift certificates from your favorite local businesses and drop them off at REMAX City Realty’s Gibsons’ office on Gibsons Way. Or you can visit the Elves Club website for a list of other drop-off locations. Donations will receive a tax receipt.

Please note – it is a tough page to read and navigate so an elf will probably be visiting the nice folk at Topshelf Creative to see if we can get an upgrade in the future, so

Food, music & auction

Two worthwhile causes and one fun event come together at the Garden Taverna Night on Friday, Nov. 16. The Sunshine Coast Botanical Garden and the Garden Home Orphanage in Myanmar are the beneficiaries of the upcoming Garden Taverna & silent auction. There’ll be fabulous food: a delicious Mediterranean tapas buffet, and a dessert bar. Also, great entertainment: background music from classical guitarist John Farmer, and several rollicking sets from recording artist Stephanie Standerwick.

The Women’s Group at Gibsons Calvary Baptist say that the SC Botanical Garden, located in West Sechelt, is a great partner for their community fundraising efforts. Members of the Church helped plant the Garden’s Rainforest Grove, and the Garden provided assistance in planning their Jubilee Community Garden with garden beds available for the public.

The church has long supported children needing a loving home in the Garden Home Orphanage in Myranmar.

Garden Taverna Night & silent auction is on Nov. 16, from 6-9:30 pm, at Calvary Baptist Church, 711 Park Road, Gibsons. Tickets are $15, available from LAEDELI in Sunnycrest Mall, and the Sechelt Visitors Center.

Submitted

stay tuned for that.

It may not happen until next year, so if in doubt, drop your donations off to Re/Max City Realty located at unit 101-938 Gibsons Way (the professional building next door to Gibsons Building Supply).

You can also fill out an application for you or someone in need at that location.

Teamwork makes this dream work which means volunteers are still needed.

Visit ElvesClub.ca for more info on how you can participate or learn how you can apply for a Christmas gift card.

A nice evening of perusing some shops in Gibsons would be an opportunity to pick up such a gift card for people in need and, fortunately, just such an opportunity is happening this week.

The businesses of Gibsons Park Plaza invite you to join them for a spectacular pre-holiday shopping night Thursday, Nov. 8 from 4pm to 8pm.

Each participating business has a unique special

offer to show their customer appreciation this fun evening. Be sure to check out what each participating business has to offer. There’s all kinds of fabulous incentives at each business: store-wide sales, special offers, swag bags, door prizes, tastings, and more.

Be sure to come early and dress for a line-up. But with a covered walkway, heaters, live music, warm refreshments & lots of familiar faces – it’s all part of the fun.

To stay posted on updates, be sure to “join” the event on Facebook, “invite” your friends and check back on the page often to see what special offers will be coming your way (click on the ‘discussion’ tab to see posts by participating businesses.).

Participating businesses this year include: Embellish Emporium, Giggle ‘n Bloom, The Seasoned Kitchen, Dreamland Sleep Shop and Starbucks Canada.

ARTS & CULTURE

Williams, however, remains modest about her accomplishments. “I think everyone is an artist,” she says simply.

“I never cease to be amazed at the incredible creativity in everyone I meet.” Along with creating her art, she has been the host of many open mic events on the Coast and with Coast Creatives, she brings all her artistic interests together in one place. Not only will there be art on the walls, but there are five live mic events that will feature storytelling, poetry, singing and music.

With the theme of the show being “why you do that thing you do,” Williams wanted the visual artists she worked with to take a risk with their piece. It could be funny or dark, but hopefully, would be ‘incorrect.’ “Anything that you did in spite of yourself because you felt driven,” Williams told them.

“I specifically asked them because of the kind of art they do and the freedom with which they do it.” She’s very excited to be bringing a great variety of artists together into one exhibit during one of the darkest months of the year. Including a series of live

In the First World War, Canada had no military air arm of its own, but this did not stop some 24,000 Canadians from serving in the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service before these were merged as the Royal Air Force in April 1918. Here, Canada would suffer 1,500 casualties. A quarter of the British flying officers – and some of the best – were Canadians.

Pressure to create a military air arm had been applied to the military authorities in 1911 and 1912, but they had learned only that the contraptions were expensive, dangerous and of dubious usefulness. In this strategic vacuum Canada was not as

lied offensive that saw them advance more than 20 kilometers in four days of fighting. Eight Canadians were awarded the Victoria Cross for their bravery in the battle.

German morale plummeted following the Allied victory, with the German high commander General Erich von Ludendorff calling August 8 “the black day of the German army.”

In late September 1918, the Canadian Corps achieved one of their most impressive victories of the entire First World War when they fought their way across the Canal du Nord in northern France.

The Canadians forced their way through three lines of German defences and took Bourlon Wood which broke through the enemy’s Hindenburg Line.

New Brunswick’s Lieutenant Milton Gregg was an officer with the Royal Canadian Regiment during the Canadian Corps’ offensive at the

Canal du Nord. His exceptional bravery under fire between September 27 and October 1, 1918, would earn him the Victoria Cross.

During the last three months of the First World War, the Canadian Corps advanced roughly 130 kilometres and took some 32,000 German prisoners and captured almost 3,800 enemy artillery pieces, machine guns and mortars.

Canada’s Hundred Days culminated with the end of the First World War and the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918.

In 2018, the Government of Canada marks the 65th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice, the 10th anniversary of National Peacekeepers’ Day and the 100thth anniversary of Canada’s Hundred Days and the Armistice – milestones on the road to peace and freedom we continue to walk today.

WW1: Canadians in the air

Always Remember

SALE

During the last three months of the First World War, from August 8 to November 11, 1918, a series of Canadian Corps’ victories on the Western Front solidified their reputation as elite shock troops. The Canadian Corps played such a key role that this period became known as Canada’s Hundred Days.

Thirty brave Canadians and Newfoundlanders received a Victoria Cross defending our freedoms during Canada’s Hundred Days, from August 8 to November 11, 1918 – nearly one third of all VCs in our military history.

A pivotal offensive, the Battle of Amiens marked the beginning of Canada’s Hundred Days and the last chapter of the First World War. Prior to Amiens the Canadian Corps had success in battles at places like Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele.

Their reputation for being exceptional troops soon preceded them – often the Canadians’ mere presence on the front lines would cause the Germans to believe an Allied offensive was imminent.

Before their assault at Amiens, some men of the Canadian Corps were sent to Ypres, Belgium, in an effort to make the Germans think a major attack was coming there. In secret, the Canadians instead massed at Amiens, where they would be at the vanguard of a great Al-

isolated as one might think.

Indeed no one could foresee that, only 11 years after the first “heavier than air” flight, significant technical breakthroughs would result in the airplane’s emergence as a formidable weapon of war.

Nor could anyone foresee that Canada was on the verge of becoming involved in a war like that of 1914-18.

In Canada, Alexander Graham Bell was a pioneer of aviation. One of his associates, J.A.D. McCurdy, later made an unsuccessful attempt to sell his planes to the Canadian government. McCurdy went on to achieve some success in the United States. Returning to Canada with his flying school during the war, in To-

ronto he founded Canadian Aeroplanes, which would become involved in the mass production and mass export of aircraft – a first in the history of aeronautics.

A young Canadian aspiring to be a military aviator had to pay for his own training, whether in Canada or in the United States. Then, if the British recruited the novice into the air corps, whether attached to the navy or the army, they would reimburse him for the courses. As the war went on, a number of volunteers from the Canadian Army Corps would request or be offered a transfer to the air arm.

The actual birth of the air arm occurred on the Somme.

In that sector, as the British began attacking in July 1916, some 240 Canadian aviators were in the front line. At that time the Allies dominated the air. In the early months of 1917 new and more sophisticated German aircraft tipped the balance of air power to the enemy side. By the end of the year, however, the Allies had changed this, with new equipment and a force of thousands of pilots, many of whom had been trained in Canada. Allied air supremacy would continue throughout 1918.

NOVEMBER 11, 2018

Lest we forget

Remembrances brought to life Sunday November 11th, Remembrance Day, marks the one hundredth anniversary of the end of the First World War and is the day we also commemorate the end of the Second World War. On Saturday November 10th, a group of actors and writers, led by Caitlin Hicks, will present a show called “Next of Kin” at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre in Sechelt featuring true stories from the two World Wars.

Caitlin Hicks will open the show with a dramatic monologue “Under the Porch”, the story of a young woman marrying her second husband just months after her first husband was killed in World War 2.

Next of Kin will also bring to life a new book by Jacqueline Carmichael called “Tweets from the Trenches: Little True Stories of Life and Death on the Western Front”, a post-modern collage of poetry, historical documents, stories and photographs from Carmichael’s grandfather, a veteran of the First War. Performing pieces from this book and from their own work will be Pat Dorval, Steve Schwabl, Calvin Craig, and Micheal Oswald, with musical accompaniment from Gordon Halloran. Michael Oswald will perform a moving poem he wrote called “Dear Soldier”, which widens the commemoration to include all wars.

In Act 2, Hicks will tell first person accounts from a show

she wrote called “The Life We Lived, The War Years”, a compilation of stories she gathered from Sunshine Coast locals, including Tony Onno, a Japanese tree faller in Toba Inlet who was told ‘to get the hell out’ in February 1942, Leon Arthur, a man who participated in developing the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and other first-person accounts.

The final story, “Next of Kin”, is Hicks’ true story of visiting the grave in France of the soldier who married

her mother, then was killed during the 21-day assault by American and French forces, that saw the Colmar Pocket of the German 19th army ‘eliminated as an effective force’.

For anyone who remembers, or who wants to know what it was like to live through these times, this will be a moving show on November 10. The show is at 7:30pm, with doors open at 7 pm. Tickets are $15 or $20 at the door.

World’s swimmer Genny Verge traveled to a training camp in Caledon, Ontario where she worked with coaches and trainers on fitness, nutrition and proficiency in the water. Genny’s favourite memory is “seeing everyone bond as a team.”

Executive members Pat Stuart and Katie Borowski attended a conference in Richmond for the 50th Anniversary of SOBC. They will be sharing with the Local what they learned about athletes’ views on Special O; how to improve their health, performance and leadership skills; sports development; and, something close to my heart, anti-bullying.

Douglas College Women’s Basketball team held their 5th annual skills camp at the Roberts Creek Elementary gym. Sechelt and Gibsons players participated in warmups, drills and scrimmages.

Gibsons coach Samantha

Mills said it was “fun and informative”. She also said this was the first year for many of the Douglas College players but they brought much enthusiasm and some new ideas for drills that the coaches can use with their teams.

SOSC greatly appreciates the ongoing support from these fantastic athletes.

The Orcas’ return to the pool has been slow and steady with new and seasoned swimmers getting back to basics. The first fun meet of this non-qualifying year will happen on Dec. 10 at the Sechelt Aquatic Centre.

One largely unnoticed group is our dedicated volunteer executive: Pat Stuart, local coordinator; Helene Johnston, treasurer; Nancy Inglis, secretary, Katie Borowski, program coordinator; Allyson Pearson, registration coordinator; Kim Fenton, volunteer coordinator; and Helen Halet, PR coordinator. These

talented, organized individuals make sure all the i’s are dotted, the t’s crossed and keep everything running behind the scenes. Our ‘senior’ officials are always on the lookout for fresh faces to help carry the torch. Volunteers of all sorts, in all areas of the organization, are welcome.

Whether you enjoy a particular sport and wish to help out once or twice a week or have your sights set on an executive role, contact Pat Stuart at 604 886-2098 or pat_stuart@ dccnet.com. Thank you all.

Over the next few months I hope to visit all the sports venues to bring you the stories behind the story.

You can also check out our website www.specialolympicssunshinecoast.ca to find out when an event or practice is happening. Thanks to dedicated coach/volunteer, Richard Hoath who regularly posts updates. Come out and support us!

We are approaching the winter months with holidays and higher utility bills, where many people start to feel the strain to make ends meet. From increases in heating bills to death of a loved one to an eviction notice, financial hardship and stress can strike at any time.

Sunshine Coast Community Services’ (SCCS) Keeping People Housed program

was launched in August of this year to help families during times of financial crisis. The program, funded by Sunshine Coast Credit Union and The Co-Operators, can provide an interest-free loan for rental or utility payments to help renters who face an unexpected crisis, such as a loss of job or temporary change in income, so that residents can remain in – or

move to – safe and sustainable housing.

Walk-ins are welcome at the SCCS office at 5638 Inlet Avenue, Sechelt from 1pm to 3pm every Wednesday. For more information on Keeping People Housed or to schedule an appointment, please contact Andrea Hobbs at 604-885-5881 or ahobbs@sccss.ca.

Focusing to create a deeper sense of security is the core theme and can manifest as moving, buying or even building a house. Yet, Jupiter will inspire you to explore new horizons. This may literally occur as travel, but due to the nesting influence, you may do so, virtually….

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20) Jupiter in Sagittarius will manifest as karmic returns.

These could come in the form of inheritances or job promotions. Negative returns are also possible. Either way, they will require extra effort and discipline to handle. The Cancer North Node will lead you to take wise, measured and deliberate action and will include a meticulous, creative process.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) Jupiter in Sagittarius will synchronize with an increase in social exposure.

If you have wanted to grow your list, this will help, a lot. Social events are also featured and some will be planned while others come as surprises. The Lunar Node cycle will activate a
