Big bucks for bear information After The Fur-Bearers put up a $1,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in the case of a family of bears killed recently, Sunshine Coast residents have added to that reward to bringing it to a total of $5,100. The BC Conservation Officer Service (COS) is investigating after a member of the public discovered the decomposing remains of a sow and two cubs down an
embankment in the Robert’s Creek area of the Sunshine Coast in late September. After local media first reported the reward, residents have called The Fur-Bearers to offer their support as well. “To date this is the largest reward we have ever offered,” says Lesley Fox, executive director of The Fur-Bearers. “This was a tragedy and is clearly something that continues to upset many residents. We are
hopeful the reward may provide incentive for individuals with knowledge of what occurred to come forward and assist the BC Conservation Officer Service in their investigation.” Anyone with information is urged to contact the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 877952-7277. Anonymous tips can be provided via Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Submitted

If you voted for us, thank you for placing your trust in us. And if you didn’t vote for us, we will work to gain your trust. We are committed to listening to and working for every citizen.
We trust that each will find a way of fulfilling their ambitions, regardless of whether they were elected or not. And we thank the incumbent Mayor and Councillors – Bruce Milne, Darren Inkster, Alice Lutes, Noel Muller, Mike Shanks, and Doug Wright for the significant time, effort and attention they have invested – in most cases, over multiple terms in service to the community.
We thank all the candidates who put themselves forward in this year’s election.
Looking ahead, we are excited to be able to collaborate as a team. We have been given

New mayor on Gibsons development
Sunshine SunshineCoast Coast& & Powell PowellRiver RiverSchedules Schedules Most of the newly-elected Gibsons council hold a group huddle election night Oct. 20 at the Kinsmen Hall in Dougall Park. From the left, re-elected Councillor Stafford Lumley, Mayor-elect Bill Beamish, with Aleria Ladwig and David Croal, elected as councillors. Also elected councillor, but not in the photo, is Annemarie De Andrade. EVAN HAGEDORN PHOTO Gibsons Mayor-elect Bill Beamish says his top priority is preventing residents from being displaced by development. “I’m really concerned, as I mentioned in my campaign, that we have these over 600 hundred units of housing in the plans for building [in Gibsons],” Beamish said in an interview, using the Parkland extension and Eagle View Heights as two examples of development in the town. “That’s going to attract people to our community, workers, (and) we need to make sure they don’t displace people who are already here and we need to start on that right away.” Beamish earned 1,347 votes out of 1,759 votes casted in Oct. 20’s election, to easily win the mayor’s race. Among four elected councillors, Aleria Ladwig topped the poll with 1,085 votes, followed by re-elected Councillor Stafford Lumley (963 votes), David Croal (907 votes) and Annemarie De Andrade (888 votes). Beamish plans to meet with the councilors prior to the inaugural council meeting on Nov. 6. The mayor-elect would also like to meet with those candidates not elected in an effort to bring forward their ideas that were presented during the campaign. “We actually have to come together as a team, learning together and working together with the other councillors,” Beamish said. “Then we need to do some mending of bridges I think in this community. We need to have more consultation and communication and start some dialogue on the issues and understand what the issues are and sharing information with each Broker/Owner other.” Re-elected Councillor Lumley is reassured that those elected will create a
Richard Watt
functional council, but said in an interview the biggest obstacle facing the new elects is the town’s lack of money. “The town doesn’t have a lot of money, the tax base is fairly small, so what the town has to do and the town has been doing, is we have to take advantage of every single Federal and Provincial program we can, apply for every grant we can, do grant managing, do a little borrowing and we can see some project in fruition,” Lumley said. This is Beamish’s first time on council and doesn’t plan to shake things up too much,
but wants to pick up where the last council left off. Coming to the Sunshine Coast in 2002 to work as chief administrative officer for the Town of Gibsons, Beamish was also the interim CAO for the District of Sechelt, something he considers an advantage. “I think in a time when there’s a total change on council, with the exception of Stafford Lumley, who was re-elected, it’s important to have people there who know the process of government and I think that’s why people supported me,” Beamish said. Evan Hagedorn
Rookies on the SCRD board The new Sunshine Coast Regional District board could be an entirely rookie board. The only SCRD director running for re-election on Oct. 20 – Lorne Lewis in Area E – was soundly defeated by Donna McMahon, who received 728 votes to Lewis’s 333. The other rural directors are: Leonard Lee, Area A (Pender Harbour); Lori Pratt, a former school trustee chosen by acclamation
in Area B (Halfmoon Bay); Andreas Tize in Area D (Roberts Creek); and Mark Hiltz in Area F (West Howe Sound). The full makeup of the board cannot be determined in advance, since there is a director appointed by the Sechelt Band, a director appointed by Gibsons, and two directors appointed by the District of Sechelt. But both Gibsons and Sechelt councils are almost entirely new themselves. Staff

Editorial Opinion
The need for a social plan When BC’s community non-profits join forces, they do it based on key principles. One of the most important is that we’re “better together” – more effective in supporting healthier, stronger communities. That’s why we’re excited at Board Voice about the BC government’s Foundry initiative. Board Voice is a non-profit made up of community leaders who govern charitable organizations across BC that provide services to strengthen communities. We want governments to plan for better social health in the same way they already do for economic performance. BC’s 13 Foundry centres are a shining example of social planning in action. Developed to provide youth with health and wellness services, Foundry is a “one-stop shop” where the provincial government and more than 100 community partners collaborate to provide health services, social workers, employment counselling, peer support and substance-use programs under one roof. That might seem an obvious approach. But BC doesn’t have a social policy plan that connects the efforts of government, communities, non-profits, school districts and health authorities. The traditional approach tends to “silo” services. Here’s one example of how a siloed approach serves us badly. Almost one-third of BC’s Grade 4 students aren’t reading at the expected level, and a similar number fall short in math. A problem for our schools, right? Except that 30 per cent of BC children start kindergarten “not ready to learn.” For many, it’s because their parents are poor. These children may not have had the same opportunities, support or even nutrition as those from higher-income families. It’s not a problem that schools can solve on their own. More effective community supports for families facing challenges could make a much greater difference than any changes to the education system. The Foundry project was launched under the former government and expanded by the current one, an encouraging indication that the value of social planning is recognized across partisan lines. In a few months, the government will present a budget and fiscal plan, a vital road map for B.C.’s immediate future. We hope to see a social policy plan in the budget documents that is every bit as detailed and rigorous. Few things matter more to individual wellbeing than the collective health of our communities. That doesn’t happen by accident. BC needs a social plan. Submitted by the Board Voice Society of BC, based in Victoria.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Seven-hour backup (Re “Danger Highway”, the Local, Oct. 18) Clogged traffic on Highway 101 has been a problem for a very long time. Doesn’t anyone remember being backed up in Sechelt for seven hours or more? That was in 2006, and I remember it clearly because I was unable to get to St. Mary’s Hospital until some nice bystanders helped to make a space through the cars so we could drive on the wrong side of the road to get into the emergency entrance. There were hundreds of people stuck in Sechelt with no way to go either forward or back the way they came. There was also no way for any emergency responders to get around. This backup was due to a fatal crash at the foot of Selma Park Rd. If a major disruption like this did not move anyone to put forward any possible solutions in 12 years, do we even dare to hope that someone will take this seriously? Ellen McGillveray, Tuwanek
Joke is on residents (Re “Gibsons wins award that celebrates ‘smart land use’”, the Local, Oct. 18) “April Fool’s Day in mid-October” was what I thought when I read that the Town of Gibsons and co-partners in the Municipal Natural Assets Initiative (MNAI) were receiving an award for “smart land use”. After all, the Town just approved a high-density development, Gospel Rock Village, where no development exists, and where the plan to dump traffic into Elphinstone and onto Pratt Rd. will add thousands of vehicle trips going extra kilometres, with no plan for bus service. But there’ll be another pub in the new village. Yay.
And during the past four years the town’s previous mayor and council, and administration, went to extra efforts to obstruct and discredit the group of people dedicated to helping protect one of the town’s most important, declared assets – its aquifer. And how about the town shuffling some shells around to hand over the Town’s park funds for private business developments in the newly-refurbished Gibsons Public Market, with little public consultation. Indeed, there’s been a joke here, or a pre-Halloween prank, but it’s on the residents and taxpayers of Gibsons. I hope the incoming mayor and council will re-commit to following authentic “smart growth” principles, as the town followed during previous administrations when it deserved the rewards it received for sustainable practices and water quality. Michael Maser, Elphinstone
Important vote One of the most important votes for democracy looms on the horizon. Proportional Representation is the most significant change we need to make to forge a democracy out of our voting system. We reassure ourselves that we live in a democracy but if only 40 per cent of the population is represented when the decisions are being made that affect us all, it’s not a democracy. It’s rule by a minority. The same issues keep resurfacing when we change from one 40-per-cent majority government to the other because the voices of 60 percent of the population are not heard at all. We have to make a change, and proportional representa-
tion addresses many of the most basic concerns about power inequity. Don’t waste your vote on first-past-thepost. With Proportional Rep, your voice is heard, and your concerns given consideration. Caitlin Hicks, Roberts Creek
Important to vote Parents and friends of adults, 18 years and older, should ensure their young people register to vote in BC if they have never voted before, moved, or changed their name. To register online go to https://elections. bc.ca//register-to-vote/ Also one can phone 1-800661-8683 or one can fax or email voterservices@elections.bc.ca or go in person to a BC Service Centre, such as the one in Teredo Square in Sechelt. At the end of this month a mail-out referendum ballot on electoral reform will come to those with a postal address as a result of their registration. To be eligible one must be 18 by Nov. 30, 2018, be a Canadian citizen, and have lived in BC for six months immediately before Nov. 30, 2018. We know those smart young people live online and not with reams of paper. A mail-out and mail-in return of ballot will not be as natural to them as it is to older voters.

knowledgeable gentlemen (all volunteering their time) will fix it for you, for free. The last Repair Cafe was in the Sunnycrest Mall and I took an old lamp that had been in my mother’s house for decades. Besides being a super handy lamp, it also reminds me of my mother, and her home. While I waited, I had a long exchange with one of the gentlemen “fixers”. He likes the cafe because when people bring their items in, there is usually a “story” behind it. A sentimental reason they want their item fixed, or how it got it broken in the first place. He feels the connection to the person, and their item, and their story. And in the time it takes him to do the repair, he feels he has connected to his community. I liked the Repair Cafe before hearing this, but once he shared that, I almost wept. At that point, my lamp was fixed. I got home, plugged in my lamp and smiled at the warm light it emitted, and thought of how pleased my mother would have been. The next Repair Cafe is Saturday, Oct. 27, 1-5pm at the Gibsons Public Llibrary. Wanda Nowicki, Gibsons

Sechelt Mayor-elect Darnelda Siegers thanks her supporters at an election-night victory at the Lighthouse Pub. The former councillor defeated Mayor Bruce Milne by more than two-toone, attracting 2,513 votes to Milne’s 1,111 and Allan Holt’s 487. Of the four incumbent councillors running for re-election, all were defeated. Siegers will lead a new council comprised of Janice Kuester, Brenda Rowe, Eric Scott, Alton Toth, Matt McLean and Thomas Lamb (who was on a past council). SUSAN ATTIANA PHOTO
Smoking in Sechelt The District of Sechelt is in the process of adopting a new smoking control bylaw. The smoking bylaw will apply to cigarettes, cigars, pipes, vaping and cannabis. The proposed bylaw first came before Council in 2016 and was followed by a community online survey. Provincial legislation prohibits smoking of any kind in workplaces (including work vehicles), vehicles for hire and
school yards and requires a 6.0m smoke-free area around all windows, doors and intake vents to all business and public institutions. The District of Sechelt Smoking Control Bylaw is proposing a broader buffer zone of 7.5m to align with other municipal bylaws on the Sunshine Coast. The Smoking Control Bylaw is proposing to restrict smoking in or within 7.5m of any of the following areas:
ADVERTISING FEATURE
• Common areas of a building, including lobbies • Customer service areas connected to a business that serves food and beverages • Places of public assembly, including libraries and churches. • Outdoor public spaces controlled or operated by the District, including playgrounds and beaches. • Transit Stops and Shelters.

An Update on BC Ferries’ Langdale Terminal Redevelopment Plan Hello Sunshine Coast Residents, Our team continues to work on the design options for the uplands redevelopment at Langdale terminal. And as I mentioned in my update last month, we expect to bring these options back to you for feedback in early 2019. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on our engagement plans through these updates and on the project webpage at bcferries.com/ about/terminal-development-planning. We’ve also just posted our report on Phase 2 of engagement for the terminal redevelopment on the webpage if you’d like to read it. Project work this past month has been focused on moving different approvals forward with our partners at Transport Canada and the SCRD. We’ve also been working closely with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada on plans for providing some improved marine habitat near the terminal. We’re hoping to use the terminal redevelopment as an opportunity to enhance the health of the marine environment on the south side of the terminal with the installation of a rock reef or a similar structure. Outside of the terminal redevelopment project, a lot continues to happen at the Langdale terminal, and you’ve probably
noticed some colourful additions to the concrete section of the transfer bridge lately. In this update, I’d like to highlight this fantastic mural painting project, which has been coordinated by BC Ferries’ SeaForward program and supported by the Sunshine Coast community at large. For those of you who are not yet familiar, SeaForward is a BC Ferries program that shares the work being undertaken to reduce our environmental footprint, and looks to engage with and support our communities. Most recently SeaForward was the presenting sponsor at the Nicholas Sonntag Marine Education Centre for their first exciting ‘Release Day’. SeaForward is passionate about its partnership with the Centre and providing Sunshine Coast residents and visitors alike with new access to inspiring and impactful marine education. Joanna Daley, our SeaForward Manager is the face behind the program. Joanna comes to us from the United Kingdom and brings with her years of leadership and management experience in communication and engagement, with a strong focus on environmental and sustainability initiatives.
The new mural at Langdale terminal.
The mural (above) is the creation of Sarah Marceau, one of our Langdale terminal attendants and a very talented artist. Sarah and Mike Davis our Terminal Manager envisioned the mural as a way of bringing community character to our terminal and brightening an otherwise dull space. Sarah designed and sketched the mural and then our amazing community partners, staff, and customers all jumped in to paint it and bring it to life. The process has been so much fun for all involved. Hats off to Sarah for her initiative and creativity and to Mike for helping make it all happen! We are thrilled to continue working with the community on these kinds of initiatives and look forward to building our relationships with customers and community members into the future. I encourage you to continue sending me your questions about the Langdale terminal redevelopment project and what lies ahead at michael.pearson@bcferries.com.
Until next month, Mike Senior Project Manager BC Ferries

Halloween is just around the corner. As Halloween activities can be very stressful for some dogs, here are some tips to make Halloween as stress free as possible for dogs. Fireworks sometimes start during the days around Halloween so make sure your dog is leashed or contained so that he or she doesn’t bolt at the sound of fireworks. In 2016, a panicked dog in Vancouver bolted when fireworks were set off. She lost her life when she was hit by a train after running, terrified, onto Skytrain tracks. Her owners were devastated. I don’t recommend that dogs join trick-or-treaters going house to house but, if you choose to bring your dog trick-or-treating, make sure he is very comfortable with loud noises, people dressed in unusual clothing, and the excited behavior of children. He or she should also be leashed, wearing current identification (even a tracking device) and be very visible to traffic (with a flashing collar and reflective coat available at pet supply
HAVE YOUR SAY!
Vote in the 2018 Referendum on Electoral Reform October 22 to November 30, 2018 B.C. is having a referendum on what voting system to use for provincial elections. This is a big decision so make sure to vote.
What are we voting on? You are being asked:
should we keep the current First Past the Post voting system or move to a system of proportional representation?
if proportional representation is adopted, which proportional system do you prefer? - Dual Member Proportional (DMP) - Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) - Rural-Urban Proportional (RUP)
You can answer both questions or just one and your ballot will still count. Find out more about all four voting systems by calling us or visiting our website. Refer to information from all sides in the debate, make an informed choice, and remember to vote by November 30, 2018.

Red coonhound Amber, left, and Tucker the Jack Russell, are posing here to tell you that dogs need special consideration, and protection, on Halloween. JANE BOWERS PHOTO places). Sometimes people even want their dog to wear a costume. If you do that, please make sure that it is comfortable, that the dog can see, hear and smell properly and that it does not affect his or her mobility. Please also be sure the dog is conditioned to wearing the costume. For dogs who are staying at home, the sound and sight of trick-or-treaters repeatedly appearing at the front door can be very frightening. Some dogs may even become territorial. Containing worried dogs in another part of the house reduces their anxiety and prevents them from running out the front door. Many people on the Coast have new puppies and adolescent dogs for whom this will be the first Halloween. Making a positive association between masked and costumed people before the event is a great idea. Pairing a masked person with great treats or other rewards for the dog helps with the puppies’ socialization and makes the costumed person much
less scary. This can also help older dogs. For children, a huge part of Halloween is all the candy they collect, but chocolate and products containing the sweetener xylitol are poisonous to dogs. A very small amount of xylitol can kill a dog quickly, and it is in a lot of products. Keep candy away from dogs. Novel pieces of costumes can also be hazardous to dogs if ingested. Keeping these items out of reach of dogs will help avoid an emergency trip to the vet. For pets that find Halloween very stressful despite owners’ efforts to keep them safe and calm, there are products to help. For example, plug-in dispensers of calming species-specific imitation pheromones are available at most vets and calming supplements are available at local stores and on-line. Vets can prescribe pharmaceutical products if a pet needs them. Have a fun AND safe Halloween.
Keep your cat inside The District of Sechelt is asking residents to keep their cats indoors for the protection of birds, the safety of the cat and to be a good neighbor. After consideration of a cat bylaw, Council decided education was a more appropriate tactic for handling cat concerns than tickets. The education campaign began last week on social media featuring memes of a cat named Lollipop who has transitioned from being an outdoor cat to an indoor cat. Residents can learn more about cat care on the District website at http://www.sechelt.ca/Live/Pets-Wildlife/
Cats. “There is so much more to cat-care than just food and regular shots. An outdoor cat will live only two to five years but an indoor one can live up to 20 years, so bringing your cat indoors is good for your cat and good for your relationship with your neighbor,” said Julie Rogers, communications manager. The District of Sechelt receives complaints from residents concerned about cats defecating in their yards and killing birds and other small wildlife. Submitted

Outgoing Chair, School District #46 School Board
The Board of 2014-2018 is in its last few days of office and with the retirement of several long-term trustees, there will be a new era of governance in School District 46. The past several terms have boasted strong strategic plans, allowing for advances in several advocacy and leadership opportunities. Many other school districts have used our strategic planning process as an exemplar of community engagement.
Our district is a leader in the province for student voice, environmental stewardship and governance. We’ve successfully advocated for increased student engagement provincially and will hopefully continue to see an increase of students at board tables. Our facilities department tracks district reduction in water usage, electricity and fossil fuels and it is impressive to watch our environmental impact shrink each year. The solar projects at Pender Harbour, Davis Bay and Langdale are the largest school arrays in the province, lessening our fossil fuel requirements and creating educational opportunities. Our district governance

structure is a respectful collaboration with senior staff, with a strong communication plan. The new board will face many challenges as they take office; a steep learning curve with only one incumbent at the table, developing a new strategic plan, contract negotiations, a new provincial funding model and increasing cost pressures. They are set up well to tackle these challenges – skilled senior staff, a positive work culture in the district and community and many opportunities to learn and grow as a team. We wish you all the best for a successful tenure as our next Board of Education. Thank you, Sunshine Coast. It has been an honour.

With patient, without patience On Oct. 17, a westbound ambulance driver reported being pressed from behind on Highway 101 near Monkey Tree Lane, Sechelt, by a vehicle which then passed on the left before abruptly cutting in front of the ambulance without signaling. The vehicle driver then suddenly applied his brakes, caus-
ing the ambulance driver in turn to hit his brakes hard to avoid a collision. The sudden stop disrupted the attendant helping a patient in the back of the ambulance. Police are still investigating the incident and will be following up with the vehicle driver who has been identified. Submitted by RCMP

Living in the most beautiful place in the world has an ugly side. It rears its head when friends and neighbours start talking about “those,” “them,” and “they.” “Those” people from Vancouver’s North Shore that just bought a house down the street. “Those” Albertans that enrolled their children in your kids’ school. Or even humans from further afield that have the gall to work towards a better quality of life. You know: the ones that are exactly the same as you but just haven’t found paradise yet. If “they” move in and bring others, pretty soon paradise isn’t paradise – it’s the same as what we left when we came to the Sunshine Coast. But that’s not true. That’s like thinking that enlightenment has a hard limit or that community stops once a town reaches a certain size. Enlightenment and community can never be stopped.

The Sunshine Coast is unique. Never needing a key is a rare thing south of the border (the border being the ferry). Not many community newspapers publish RCMP reports that contain summaries of a deer walking in the street or someone opening a car door and rummaging around in someone else’s stuff without actually taking anything. Opinions vary about how long it takes to have a sense of ownership over where you live. My estimate is that on the Sunshine Coast, it takes about eight years. After eight years, you’re a local. The Alpha. “I like what I do and when I do it and I don’t want that to change.” In your eighth year of living here, tourists are definitely different from you. You no longer speak with anyone that ever asked, “How’re things on the island?” You should know the ferry schedule like the back of your hand and not end up in ferry traffic a disproportionate amount of time. But we don’t. And no matter how long we’ve lived on the Sunshine Coast, we don’t own this place. However, by voting, we can control and shape it.
The population of the Sunshine Coast demonstrated its understanding of this in the way it voted Oct. 20. From Port Mellon to Egmont, we voted to welcome our neighbours from the south and to build, grow, and expand to accommodate more of “them” moving here. This is good for all Coasters. Local businesses, builders, mortgage brokers, lawyers, banks – and yes, even real estate agents. We can all be confident in the officials we’ve elected. They’re building on the people and ideas that came before them. We can set an example of how to expand in the right way while maintaining our values while sharing them with newcomers. Let’s expand our communities while retaining the things that make them special. If we do a good enough job, maybe “our” way of life will spread off-Coast and we can stop worrying about “their” way spreading up here. Love thy (new) neighbor, and lead by example.

HIGHLIGHTS
IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD... IT TAKES A COMMUNITY TO BUILD THAT VILLAGE. The Sunshine Coast Village has grown by two more homes. On November 1, 2018, the village will be home to 14 parents and their 23 children.
This summer saw Habitat partners and volunteers working alongside Habitat homeowners to help build their homes and realize their dreams. We shared some laughs, lots of learning and a love for our Sunshine Coast community that knows no limits.
Like the highway, Habitat for Humanity winds its way through the communities of the Sunshine Coast helping to build strong and stable families through home ownership. Through shelter, we empower. Our volunteers and partners are strong, determined, and confident. Not afraid to dig in, get dirty & lift others up.
Our board is a group of talented and compassionate people who help guide and direct the future of Habitat for Humanity Sunshine Coast. A special welcome to our newest board members, Norman Wright and Brad Ivens.

MEET OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS:
Our friends at Spani Construction have joined the Habitat team and are working alongside families to move the project along.
How We Help... Habitat for Humanity brings communities together to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership. Facts: • Habitat does not give away free homes – families pay an interest-free mortgage geared to their income and volunteer 500 hours with Habitat. • Habitat homeowners are responsible for maintaining their own home. • Habitat helps by providing homeowner education classes, ranging from financial literacy and budgeting to home repair and maintenance. • Every Habitat home built benefits the local community. For every one dollar invested in a Habitat home, there are four dollars of benefits that are returned to the community. Habitat families are happier, healthier, and rely less on food banks and other social services. • Children who grow up in a Habitat home do better in school and are more likely to pursue a post-secondary education.
Write your own Habitat story
With a little help, we all have the potential to stand on our own. You don’t have to look very far to see Habitat for Humanity at work on the Sunshine Coast. Whether it’s our talented group of recycling volunteers building homes one bottle at a time or our passionate ReStore team members giving purpose to repurposing or our construction volunteers hammering and painting their way into the hearts of our families, there is a place for everyone at Habitat! Storytelling connects us all. Stories can inspire others and build our legacy for future generations to learn and grow from.
You can write your own Habitat story in a variety of ways:
Make new friends or bring your old ones – Join the hundreds of volunteers who help us fulfill our mission each year. Our ReStore, recycling and build site volunteers are a friendly and passionate group of people deeply committed to the mission and work of Habitat for Humanity.

Corporate team building – No other team building experience can provide the same level of employee engagement, connection to the cause and community that a Habitat build day can offer. Habitat Build Days offer the quintessential Habitat experience. Let us create one for you! Donate – Donations can take many forms.

Bats: celebrate and then report
The week before Halloween (Oct. 24-31) is Bat Week. This annual, international celebration of the role of bats in nature is the perfect time to applaud all the wonderful things bats do, from eating insect pests to pollinating the agave plant used to make te-
quila. It is also the ideal time to learn how you can help bats. “Bats help us, but now they need our help” says Mandy Kellner, coordinator for the BC Community Bat Program. “The conservation of bats in BC has always been import-

in BC, ” said Kellner, “But we are preparing for its arrival by raising awareness about bats, working with landowners who have bats in buildings, enhancing bat habitat, and monitoring populations.” Monitoring for WNS will continue this winter, and reports of dead bats or sightings of winter bat activity are requested starting Nov. 1. You can report Sunshine Coast bat sightings by contacting coastwildlife@gmail.com or 604989-1007. Community members are also warmly invited to celebrate bat week by coming to build a bat house at one of three upcoming workshops: Oct. 26 (3pm to 7pm) at the One Straw Fall Faire at Roberts Creek Hall; Oct. 27 (noon to 4pm) at the Iris Griffith Nature Centre; or Nov. 3 (11am to 3pm) at Cooper’s Green Hall. Community members can drop by any time during these events to build a bat box from an easy-to-assemble kit with the assistance of Wildlife Project volunteers. For more about the many ways bats contribute to our lives, and ideas for celebrating Bat Week, visit www.batweek. org. To learn more about BC bats visit www.bcbats.ca.

If you’re caught driving while impaired by liquor, you could face penalties such as driving suspensions from 24 hrs to 90 days, vehicle impoundment, fines from $600 and up to $4,060, jail time, mandatory rehabilitation and the installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle. “We encourage everyone to make smart choices
when alcohol and vehicles are involved” says Staff Sgt. Hallam. “If you drink, look for an alternative way to get home such as a designated driver, taxi or public transit. The penalties are stiff, but the risk to your safety and the public safety is much greater and we want to have safe roadways and safe communities.” Submitted by RCMP

ARTS & CULTURE
Art Review Anna Nobile Freelance Creative Writer, Arts & Culture
With Hallowe’en almost upon us, depictions of skeletons and ghosts can be seen everywhere, but there wouldn’t be any spirits to haunt us without the passing of friends and family members. We don’t like to talk about death, even as we hang decorations of ghoulish figures in our homes and businesses. The Sunshine Coast Hospice Society is hosting several events to try to change how we approach death. The Art of Loss, curated by Paula O’Brien, features the works of 30 local artists trying to answer the question: How does the experience of grief and loss inspire us to live more fully? The answers are as varied as the artists and their mediums, and while all address the nature of loss, loss is sometimes defined with more direct immediacy. Marilyn Marshall and Sheryl McDougald works both address the loss of ability through illness. With her piece, The Beauty of Damage, McDougald says of her artistic practice: “If I am to continue, I have to find a way past Loss, which is really Change, and ultimately, Life.”
A detail of Art of Loss curator Paula O’Brien’s multi-media installation called “Countdown to Goodbye”, about the death of her husband. ANNA NOBILE PHOTO Miyuki Shinkai’s Soul Rising, features four glass blown vessels reminiscent of urns with New Year’s greetings cards drawn by her father enveloped inside. Not just an homage to her deceased father, Shinkai also meditates on what she believes is the coming end of consumerism and mass market production. As an artisan who works in a traditional medium, she is perhaps uniquely poised to benefit from the death of the Industrial Age. Curator O’Brien’s multi-media installation piece is especially poignant, documenting her husband’s final days through the medical assistance in dying
process, as is Alanna Wood’s Saying Goodbye, created in response to a friend’s suicide. On view until Nov. 4, this exhibition is well worth seeing. On Oct. 27 at the Gibsons Heritage Playhouse, the Hospice Society presents For Dear Life, a documentary film about 46-year-old theatre producer James Pollard and his unconventional approach to his terminal cancer diagnosis, turning his death into his final art project. In the opening scene, James is being measured for his coffin. “People aren’t ready for you to be blunt and open,” he comments, driving home the point that our society doesn’t

know how to talk about death and dying. Directed by his cousin, filmmaker Carmen Pollard, the film follows James’ three-year journey toward the inevitable. “As we’ve secularized our cultures,” says James while getting his chemo treatment, “we really don’t have any traditions around dying.” As we watch him create his own unique ritual, we become privy to all the anxiety and intense emotions that James, his two adult children, and fiancée, go through along the way. It’s a compelling film, touching at the core of an event that we will all face, attempting through one man’s experience to provide a context and language around which we can begin our own explorations and conversations about our impending deaths. For Dear Life screens at the Gibsons Heritage Playhouse, Saturday, Oct. 27 at 2pm. Tickets $10 at the door. Director Carmen Pollard and doctors from the Paul Sugar Palliative Support Foundation will facilitate discussion following the film. On Nov. 4 at 2pm, readings by local authors Bonnie Klein and Sharon Brown will focus on the impact of catastrophic illness and death on children and youth. Klein’s book, Slow Dance: A story of stroke, love and disability, recounts how Klein and her family coped when she was suddenly struck by a debilitating stroke. Brown is the author of Some Become Flowers: Living with Dying at Home and tells the story of bringing her dying mother home while raising two small children. The event takes place at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery. Admission by donation

Poet John Pass reads from new book Poet John Pass will read from his new book, “This Was the River”, at the Arts Centre in Sechelt on Nov. 3, completing the Arts Council’s fall season of author readings. John has long been our most accomplished Sunshine Coast poet, publishing award- winning poetry since the 1980s, and winning full
national recognition with the Governor General’s Award for his “Stumbling in the Bloom” in 2006. At the same time, we know that John is very much of this place, living and working on the Coast with his wife, the writer Theresa Kishkan, since 1981.
