Ruined dinner To Mike Corrigan, President, BC Ferries,and Mr. Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation. Dear Mr. Corrigan: Due to the misguided cuts to the Sunday schedule of the Queen of Surrey on the Langdale - Horseshoe Bay run, my highly anticipated Thanksgiving Dinner with family has been ruined, along with dozens of other families. Being a regular ferry user, I checked the website an hour before the 11:30 am sailing. Being the middle day of a long weekend, I thought it prudent to check. Not early enough, it turned out, as the ferry was almost full. So my wife and I hurried to the car and rushed to the terminal. We found a rather chaotic ϐ team was valiantly trying to control the upset travelers. As it turned out, approximately 50 cars, full with Thanksgiving Day travelers, were left behind, including mine. To my horror, I checked the schedule to discover the next sailing was not for another 3 hours and 15 minutes! It is my understanding that this chaos and overload situation is a regular occurrence on Sundays, with resultant anger and lost faith in the BC Ferry service by coastal residents and by valued tourists. Could you please inform me and my fellow regular travelers on this run, as to when this ridiculous situation will be addressed, and when full service will return to our Sunday schedule. Yours truly, Wm. B. Forst

Saw a thought, reap an action, sow an action, reap a habit, sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny Chinese Proverb

The concept of National Business Women’s Week originated with Emma Dot Partridge, Executive Secretary of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs from 1924 to 1927. Small Business Week 2014 runs from October 19 to 25. From its start as a small event in BC in 1979, Small Business Week has grown to become a national celebration with hundreds of activities providing training and development opportunities for entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs across the country spread across the whole month of October. The theme of Small Business Week 2014 is ‘Back to Basics. Reenergize Your Business.

Small Business Week is about celebrating the efforts and successes of Canadian small businesses, but it’s also about learning and the exchange of ideas. To grow, Canadian entrepreneurs across Canada need the right people, technology and business skills to beat the competition both here and abroad. Small Business Week 2014 is about sharing stories of success and helpful, practical advice on how to succeed with those who are ambitious for their companies. This week, The Local recognizes and salutes the small business owners, especially the women entrepreneurs in our community who are helping to grow the Sunshine Coast economy.

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK

Tips for female entrepreneurs Starting a business is no small task. But as the 21st century progresses, more and more female entrepreneurs are embracing the challenge of starting their own businesses. Though each entrepreneur has his or her own motivation for starting a business, the chance to be your own boss and turn an idea into a successful business is a driving force for both male and female entrepreneurs. And though male and female entrepreneurs face similar hurdles when starting a business, many female entrepreneurs might be more hesitant to set out on their own, fearing that old stigmas about women in the workplace might affect their chances at success by making potential investors ϐ of women setting out on their own. Though such concerns unfortunately are legitimate, women should not assume that such stigmas prevail. The continued success of female entrepreneurs has shed new light on just how successful female entrepreneurs can be. The following are a few tips for women looking to start their own business.

As unjust as it is, a stigma about women in the workplace still exists in the minds of some professionals.

This means women must be especially diligent and detailed when creating their business plan. One helpful hint is to act as if you are pitching yourself. Look at your business plan and ask if you would invest in yourself. Ask yourself the questions you would ask a fellow entrepreneur if he or she approached you with the same business plan you just developed. There’s no harm to be done by using every resource at your disposal, especially your own business savvy and experience. Ȉ ǯ ϐ business entirely on your own. Unless your business is going to be especially small, you’re going to need capital to start your business. If you think you ϐ your own, you might want to reconsider. A business loan or investors can help you plan for the unexpected. If you attempt to go it alone, open your busi ϐ business loan, the lending in ϐ has already been damaged and is less likely to succeed. That can make it harder to secure a business loan.

Many women with business experience might feel they need to prove something to themselves when starting their own business and need to do so entirely on their own. While that’s great motivation, underestimating the value of your support system, including your spouse, children and even ǡ Ǥ on these people who all want you to succeed, and turn their support into extra motivation.

What does it mean to be a mentor? Mentors can serve as ϐ people in need of professional guidance, providing the support or advice many need to break into a given industry. While mentoring is most commonly associated with the professional arena, it need not be restricted to corporate environments. When looking to give back to their communities, men and women may not Ǥ ǡ mentoring can be a powerful empowerment and personal development tool, for both mentors and the people being mentored. The following are a handful of tips to foster a successful mentoring relationship.

If your career is in a slump, mentoring may provide the breath of fresh

air you need to recharge. Mentoring also may give you insight into another person’s life, which can be used in your own personal development. As long as your goal is the success and support of the mentee, mentoring can be a selfless act that touches the lives of others. Formal mentoring programs exist, but mentoring relationships often begin when a less formal connection forms between two people. Should a friend, employee or colleague ask for your assistance in mentoring, embrace this compliment and make the most of your opportunity to aide in the growth of another person.

Books & Beyond Tracey Therrien Chief Librarian, Gibsons and District Public Library

October is National Library Month and this year’s theme is Libraries Inspire. How do libraries inspire you? The Canadian Library Association is gathering stories from across the country on the different ways libraries inspire and make a difference in our lives. Have you been inspired by a discovery at a library? Was it ϐ ǡ of music, a poem, a business idea, a library program or a book? Add your story to the many already posted on the website: librarymonth.ca. In Canada there are over 23,000 librarians or library clerks working in over 22,000 libraries located in 97% of

communities across the nation. More than 21 million Canadians have a library card, making public libraries the most popular cultural institution in the country! At the Gibsons & District Public Library we are combining library-month and the library’s 100th anniversary into one special day of celebrations. On Friday October 17th at noon Mark Forsthye from CBC Radio’s Almanac show is broadcasting live from the library. Mark and local guests will be discussing the role of libraries past and present. At 7:00pm that evening the library is hosting a Crime Writers’ Forum with authors William Deverell, Robin Spano, Gwen Southin, and Chevy Stevens. Everyone is welcome to join us at the library for these free events. If you haven’t been in the library lately you may be sur-

prised. We have over 40,000 items in the library, including e-readers, DVDs, CDs, magazines, audiobooks and over 65,000 downloadable eBooks and hundreds of online newspaper subscriptions for you to explore. Plus we have programs for the all ages including one-on-one computer tutoring, storytimes, conversation groups, book clubs, knitting clubs and more. How do you become a library member? All you need ϐ your current address.

Why refinish? Whether you’ve had hardwood floors for a long rime or just discovered them under old carpeting, you’ve probably considered refinishing them. Waxing and/or buffing often provides a good shine but refinishing the floor is usually the only way to regain the original richness and beauty of the wood.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) A process of clearing the old to make way for the new continues. Yet it may also be that in making new associations old involvements are steadily fading away. Either way, change is in the air. This will lead you to new levels of power and responsibility. Creating a healthy lifestyle rhythm and practice is important to your success now and later.

Belmarstorage _162014_3X1.75_ PROOF

Before the Sun leaves Libra and enters Scorpio time some extra insight about Libra will serve to explain an important feature of Astrological practice. Libra is the archetypal principle of cultivating harmony, fairness, balance, mutual respect and love in any relationship. Beyond our more personal romantic, familial, sibling, relative, friend, neighbor and so on relationships, even business relationships could, in the ideal, foster all of the above. Of course, cultivating a ϐ requires ongoing effort and can well be deemed a true art. Invariably, due to the laws of change, this cultivation is a process and a diplomatic one at that. Any relationship therefore, between individuals as well as between larger entities like companies, institutions, cities, states, provinces and countries (each may deemed ‘persons’) implies a ‘political’ process. ϐ ture of relationships and of life. The level and magnitude ϐ minor to the extreme but no relationship is entirely free of it. What is ideal and important for harmonious and peaceful resolutions is increased objectivity. There are two basic techniques used in Astrology to weigh and measure the quality of any relationship: Synastry and Composite. A Synastry Chart compares the ‘astrological chemistry’ between any two people. The principle of a ‘compound’ in chemistry lends a good example of this common approach. A Composite chart reveals the synthesis of the relationship. The principle of a ‘solution’ in chemistry supports a better understanding of this approach. There are also two types of Composite Chart, one that reveals the deeper purpose of the relationship and one that more fully illustrates the expression of that purpose.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) A social, cultural and artistic cycle continues to spiral upward. This is leading you to meet new people and make new friends. Professional afϐ mix. In fact, this will become your next major focus over the coming weeks. Especially if you have been diligent, practically wise and sincere, your efforts will be well rewarded soon.

Tip of the Week:

extra important. Call it creating communion or inviting imagination…, either way a weave and synthesis of collective talents is a key to your success at this time. Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) Reaching out to participate in the world with purpose and passion is a steadily emerging theme. In the short term, your main task may simply be to get comfortable with the prospects. Generating ideas and tapping your deeper destiny is also ideal. This new cycle will especially get underway in 2015. For now, focus on seeding dreams. Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) Your public and professional world is on a roll. Success has required that you step out of your comfort zone. With your ambitions on a steady rise, simply relaxing would prove ironically stressful. Reaching out to be seen and heard is important. The window of opportunity is now open. Hopefully you have acted upon it. If you have not yet, do it now!

Astrologer

your own unique destiny to ϐ Ǥ art expressions is likely. Creating optimal health is also ideal especially now. The biggest issue is scattering your focus. Engaging with and sharing the journey with others will prove inspiring and empowering. Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) Shifts and changes in your world continue to roll in. As is often the case, the old must make way for the new. Focusing upon long-term investments and/or relationship involvements is a core theme. Creating or inviting beauty in your home somehow is a source of inspiration. One way or another, this is a call to color your world. Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) JYour world is changing and expanding. Meeting new people and making friends and other social connections is a new norm. Doing so will prove inspiring now and will bring opportunities in years to come. At deeper levels you are destined to overcome some core fears. To decipher what these are, outline your goals, plans and/or dreams and they will be brought into the light of day. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) A process of building upon new foundations continues. This is a necessary stage for future developments. This is a call to access and make use of some of your hidden resources. Deciphering what these are may require a bit of extra time and energy but will prove worthwhile. Take inventory of your gifts, skills and assets. Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22) A pioneering cycle continues. In addition to exploring new people and places, you are also destined to explore yourself anew. A process of re-discovery and possibly of re-invention is implied. New jobs, relationships, lifestyle rhythms and modes of creative self-expression are all possible features. Reach within and without. Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) Merging your talents and resources with those of others is a central theme these days. During this cycle of expansion in your public and professional life, this focus is

In both Synastry and Composite charts, the reality of change can also be added to the perspective and it is measured as current ‘Transits’ (position of the planets in the sky in real time compared to the Birth Chart) affecting both each individual ‘persons’. The other is called Progressions’ ϐ time representing change in both each individual person and the Composite charts they create together. Altogether, these represent techniques that provide profound and valuable insights towards greater respective and mutual objectivity. With this increased level of insight and awareness beyond subjective biases and projections, mutual understanding and diplomatic resolution can be achieved. One may even gain awareness regarding the ϐ and may thereby decide not to enter into the relationship as a consequence. In existing relationships, it ever remains important that both parties be committed to resolution which is itself an expression of sincerity and respect. The lack of such willingness reveals the otherwise concealed or unrealized lack of respect. SinceritAries Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20) With each new day the importance of creating ever greater harmony in your ϐ becomes crystal clear. Sometimes it is the lack of the above that communicates loudest. You may soon realize that saying what others want to hear may work for a while but does not satisfy. Speak from the heart and support your partner(s) to do the same. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21) The act of creating balance in our life is the art of life. This refers to every aspect, arena and front. A golden key to this cultivation process is to recognize that the balance point is ever moving, ever changing… never static. So, every day is a new day and requires that we attune, adjust, and adapt with health and balance in mind. Now is the time. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21) A wave of creative inspiration is washing in. It holds the energy of individuality within it. Holding a vision of
